1. Clemson Tigers: Making it to the CFB Championship game is no simple task. The fact that both Clemson and Alabama reached such a benchmark two years in a row is quite a statement from both programs. Clemson’s victory over Alabama is the punctuation mark of the overall 2016 effort from the ACC. Coupled with the ACC’s performance against Power Five competition, throughout the regular and bowl season, it is clear the ACC was the undisputed best conference in 2016. Congratulations to Clemson! They will likely be losing Watson, and other key starters, to the NFL Draft.
