Although the defending CFP champ has won 15 straight video games, Dabo Swinney’s group have to be conscious that any slipup shall be extremely problematic.

What about Minnesota?! They're undefeated and below 6-2 Kansas State?! True, but Kansas State beat Oklahoma and Minnesota beat … um … Georgia Southern? Fresno State?
And on the high, there are several groups that can make this season exciting to look at.
