Anybody else Joe Morgan Jersey got that? I don't think so," Swinney told ESPN. "And we're 13-0. Can Dennis Eckersley Jersey 't get no better than winning them all. And nobody made it easy on us, either. That ought to be an easy decision for them."Clemson has defeated Notre Dame, Florida State and North Carolina, who were ranked No. 8, 9 and 10, respectively, in the latest CFP rankings.Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, a top Heisman Trophy candidate, accounted for five touchdowns in the game (three pa sing, two rushing).
