Being ranked preseason #1 is great. But, how many times has


Aug 19, 2019, 7:36 PM

a team WON the Natty after not even being ranked in the Top 25 in the preseason, and who are those teams?

(Hint: It has happened 4 times, and I am NOT counting UCF 2017 as a National Champion, I don't care what they say.)

Ohio State, USC (the USC), and Ole Miss are the only ones I can remember

And be happy with a 50 on the first pop quiz I've had in almost 50 years. I won't take another!

And those teams didn't have the kind of talent we have now back then. Man it's so great wearing my Clemson gear every where I go here in cootlumbia. Everyday I'm allorangeallthetime and I flaunt it here in cootlumbia, and they know that's what I'm doing!!! I'll wear a 2018 NC shirt, and a 2016 NC ball cap, and I will switch it up everyday, and some days I will display the 4 straight ACC championship wins with a NC ball cap, In their face!!!!

I could be wrong bc my memory isn't nothing like it use to be but, I don't think that we were ever ranked #1 in the 81 season until after beating the coots, and going into the Natty. It was a great feeling beating the coots and becoming the #1 team in the country!!! OK I just found this.

Right. 2015 was the first time we played a home game ranked #1.

Appropriately, it was against FSU. We had played them enough times when they were #1, I believe.

the other teams after Clemson first did it in 1981, were 1983, 1984, and 1990. (Must have been something in the water in the early '80's.)
