As we head into the final month of the regular season for Clemson football, here are five reasons the Tigers are set to repeat as National Champions.

If you listened to the vast majority of national analysts when they talk about Clemson football, you would’ve thought the Tigers had struggled through the entire season.

Because the Clemson football team struggled in one game against North Carolina several weeks ago, fans and analysts alike are punishing the Tigers and acting as if they’re damaged goods heading into the CFB Playoff discussion.

Just a few weeks ago, many were saying that Clemson football didn’t deserve to be in the playoff and that the Tigers could miss out on a playoff berth even with a perfect 13-0 record and a conference championship.

Now, analysts pretty much agree that Clemson football will be in the CFB Playoff if they win out, but no one is predicting the Tigers to win once they’re in.

Clemson has been compared to 2014 Florida State. People say the Tigers are just not as good as last year’s team and that they won’t be able to compete with the likes of Alabama, LSU or even Ohio State.

Clemson is the projected No. 3 or No. 4 seed by the vast majority of outlets when the season comes to an end and the Tigers are being overlooked again-and-again.

Here are five reasons the Clemson football team won’t just make it to the CFB Playoff, but why the Tigers are set up to repeat as National Champions.
