In just over 11 days we will begin the 2022 college football season. Many teams, Clemson Tigers included, are looking to dethrone the SEC from their mantle.
It has been three consecutive champions hailing from the SEC with the LSU Tigers in 2019, Alabama Crimson Tide in 2020, and this past season with the Georgia Bulldogs. The last non-SEC champion was Clemson in 2018. If fact, it was the Tigers’ second title in three years.
