Among its eight undefeated regular seasons, Clemson was crowned poll-era national champions and finished with its third perfect season with a win over Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl, and was the National Championship Finalist Runner-up with a 14–1 record in 2015. The following season, Clemson won the National Title over No. 1 Alabama in college football’s first National Championship rematch in 2016, and again in 2018.

The Tigers play their home games in Memorial Stadium on the university’s Clemson, South Carolina campus.
