Tigers feel they have to make a statement in the CFP
It’s crazy to imagine that a team that has won 28 straight games and is the defending national champion, feels like it is the one that has to make a statement in the College Football Playoff.
But that is where No. 3 Clemson feels like it is at, especially after ESPN personalities, such as Paul Finebaum, question the Tigers’ toughness and whether they are as good as the other three teams in the playoff … LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma. According to some media members, like Finebaum, Clemson is an ACC interloper.
The Tigers (13-0) will get their opportunity to prove those critics wrong, again, when it plays No. 2 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona on Dec. 28.
