How each top 25 college football team wins next season's national title

It's never too early to start thinking about next season. So in that spirit, what does each top 25 team tneed to do to follow LSU's path and win next season's College Football Playoff title? For some teams, like Dabo Swinney's Clemson Tigers, it's pretty straightforward. For others toward the bottom of the list, like Texas and Tennessee, it's going to take a lot more to go right. But this is the time of year for optimism. So let's a look at each team's best-case scenario.


#1: Clemson
Two words: Trevor Lawrence. No pressure, Trev. In all seriousness, Clemson's loss to LSU in the national championship game is not a sign that the Tigers are in any way done as a program. If you listen to coach Dabo Swinney, the Tigers are just getting started. With Lawrence returning as a junior starting quarterback, plus record-setting back Travis Etienne, there is a reason Clemson is the betting favorite in January to win the 2020 national title. Also, the team that played LSU was fairly young by Clemson's standards, with 80 freshmen or sophomores on the roster. That means Clemson returns a veteran group with Lawrence and playmakers such as Justin Ross, Tyler Davis and Xavier Thomas ready to make another championship run.

#25: Tennessee
The Vols still appear to be at least a year away from being in the playoff conversation, but let's suspend disbelief for a moment. In college football, anything is possible. All Tennessee needs is chaos and out-of-this world coaching. In terms of coaching, it needs Henry To'o To'o to go from a freshman phenom to an All-American middle linebacker, and it needs quarterback Jarrett Guarantani to make a Joe Burrow-type leap as a redshirt senior. Then comes the chaos and the need for Alabama's dynasty to come to an end, for LSU to stumble through a post-title-game hangover, for Georgia to struggle replacing Jake Fromm and for Florida to take a step backward despite the return of Kyle Trask
 
Emotional Bob Knight ends 20-year split with Indiana
Many Hoosiers fans spent years waiting and hoping they could give the combustible coach the proper reward for everything he did in 29 seasons in Bloomington, three NCAA championships, a school-record 662 victories, 11 Big Ten titles and five Final Four appearances. Knight finished his career at Texas Tech, retiring in 2008 with a then-record 902 victories.

Like Davis Cup, Fed Cup has experienced a makeover, adopting a World Cup-style arrangement that will feature a round-robin format with four groups of three teams, followed by knockout semifinals and final over the course of one week.

The heavyweight championship rematches that defined boxing

Heavyweight champion Jim Jeffries' face looked like it had been run over by a herd of buffalo. He had a broken nose, cuts on both cheeks, gashes over both eyes and a torn ear. Today the fight would probably be stopped due to the champ's horrific injuries, but it was 1902 and a torrent of blood streaming down a boxer's face was no cause for undue alarm. Even so, Jeffries must have wondered what was happening to him. He didn't have this sort of trouble beating Bob Fitzsimmons to win the title three years earlier, but the rematch was torture. Fitzsimmons was coming off a two-year layoff the first time in his career. Although he was closing in on his 40th birthday, he was in excellent physical condition for the return bout. But in the end he punched himself into defeat. According to The New York Times, "Jeffries granite jaw and steel-shod skull" broke both of Fitzsimmons' hands.
