When the first College Football Playoff Rankings came out in 2015, Clemson found itself at the top, a spot the Tigers held throughout the remainder of the season.
The North Carolina Tar Heels were expected to be playing in the Final Four. After all, the Tar Heels were named the No.2 overall seed when the NCAA Tournament field was unveiled on March 13.
