For the second-straight season, Clemson is back in the College Football Playoff, as the back-to-back ACC Conference Champions matched high preseason expectations with a postseason spot in the Fiesta Bowl. The second-ranked Tigers began practicing on Monday for their return trip to Glendale, site of last campaign’s National Championship loss to Alabama, focusing in on their next obstacle in third-ranked Ohio State.
