1. Postgame Celebration

Yes, this may be a cop-out.

But, the best moment of the night came as the clock winded down and hit 0:00.

The Tigers were able to get a curtain call for the entire starting group on offense. And we saw a very emotional moment from Christian Wilkins, who leave as one of the greatest to ever play Clemson football.

Dabo Swinney delivered an emotional, heartfelt postgame speech where he credited God, the players and the coaches and then we got to see the trophy presentation.

Trevor Lawrence gave all the credit to his teammates. Christian Wilkins gave a great interview. And then on their way out of the program, Clelin Ferrell and Wilkins gave a major recruiting pitch to any prospects out there.

Next. Clemson finishes on top of final AP Poll. dark

One of my personal favorite moments was seeing Christian Wilkins give Dabo Swinney a wet willy during the postgame interview on the stage.

It was just a great night. You couldn’t have dreamt it up any better and, ultimately, the Tigers came away with their third-ever National Championship victory.
