difference between "your" and "you're", don't you? I am not an English major myself, but to answer your question, my guess would be "National Champions runners-up", because we are the runners-up to the national champions. On the other hand, Clemson is the runner-up to the national champion. ?????

whether or not it is necessary to plural after a plural. The term is definitely "National Champions," however "runner-up" can also refer to a team, not just a singular contestant.

I would say ACC champion and Orange Bowl Champion. I do not like being reminded of a loss.

The most accurate is how you're referring to.........
Jan 23, 2016, 10:31 PM
|

to the "team" which is singular or the "players" which is plural.
It would be correct to say the Tigers are the National Championship Runners-up (not National Champion Runners-Up).
It would be correct to say Clemson University is the National Championship Runner-Up (not National Champion Runner-Up).
The University of Alabama is the National Champion.
The Crimson Tide players are the National Champions.
