For the first time since 2014, Clemson football is not in the College Football Playoff. Dabo Swinney is getting his team ready for tomorrow's Cheez-It Bowl.
As part of Cheez-It Bowl prep, Swinney appeared at a press conference this morning with Matt Campbell, the head coach of Iowa State. The Cyclones are Clemson's opponent at Camping World Stadium on Wednesday.
Campbell and Swinney were both outfitted in official Cheez-It Bowl tracksuits for the event, with Campbell getting a black ensemble and Swinney having to rock all orange. It legitimately looks like the two-time national champion is wearing a prison jumpsuit.
Not surprisingly, the jokes are flying at Swinney's expense on social media.
Swinney will probably trade being mocked publicly for a win tomorrow. With a victory, Clemson can clinch its 11th-straight 10-win season under Dabo.
Before the Tigers started that streak in 2010, it had been two decades since Clemson won 10 games in one year. Pretty remarkable how it has become routine for the program now.
