From the beginning, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has made it clear he does not think a team that played just six games should qualify for the College Football Playoff.
And even though that happened, and his Tigers happen to be playing that team in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day, Swinney is not backing down from his original statement.
Why?
“In my opinion, I don’t think that it’s right that three teams have to play thirteen games to win it all and one team has to play eight,” Swinney said to ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi on its College Football Scoreboard Show Saturday night.
