Clemson finds itself in an interesting spot. For over a decade, Clemson had been among the elite at the quarterback position. Jumping from Tajh Boyd to DeShaun Watson to Trevor Lawrence is just an unbelievable run of recruiting and development that perhaps only Alabama could match.  But, like with every run of greatness in college football, it couldn't last forever.

After another tough loss, this time to Virginia Tech, the Clemson fanbase has become frustrated. Despite a tremendous start that had fans dreaming about a tourney run in March, the wheels are starting to wobble a bit as momentum has come to an almost complete halt over the last month.  Because Virginia Tech wasn't ranked at the time of the game, and Clemson, after already losing two in a row, didn't ever really look capable of winning in Blacksburg, there's a growing sense of panic.

The college football world watched on Monday night as Michigan was crowned champion of the sport, joining the elite group of teams to go 15-0. Though their record was perfect, Michigan was far from a perfect team. They were sloppy at times this year, sometimes stagnant offensively, and played teams they were better than way too close. And yet, they got it done in the end. Michigan took down Washington to win their first National Championship since 1997. Michigan Athletics So as Clemson prepares for the era of the 12-team College Football Playoff, what lessons can they take from the final victo ..read more
