Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney Promises Pizza Party If Tigers Make 2015-16 Playoffs

The Clemson Tigers may be No. 1 in the current College Football Playoff rankings, but Clemson coach Dabo Swinney isn't celebrating yet.

However, if the Tigers are in the top four when the final ranking of the season comes out (before the playoffs), the coach will throw a party—and he will make sure everyone has a good time.

How? Free pizza.

Swinney downplayed the importance of earning the top spot in the first College Football Playoff poll of the season, noting that there's still a month to go. That being said, he did promise to throw a giant pizza party for Death Valley should his Tigers be selected for the 2015-16 College Football Playoff.

"The only poll that we’re excited about is Dec. 6, and I promise you we’ll have the biggest poll party you’ve seen," Swinney said, per Ed McGranahan of the State. "We’ll open up Death Valley and serve pizza to everybody. That’ll be a time to celebrate a poll. Until then it doesn’t matter.”

Even if you don't like football but you live near Clemson University, you now have a vested interest. There aren't many things in life better than pizza, let alone free pizza.

Swinney knows that his team can't afford to get caught up in the rankings. Clemson hosts No. 16 Florida State this weekend in a showdown that could decide the ACC Atlantic Division and will certainly have playoff implications.
