Why the Clemson Tigers Will Make the College Football Playoff

The Tigers return a high percentage of production from last season, 85% on offense and 76% on defense. Senior QB Cade Klubnik is the clear starter and a Heisman favorite at the start of the season. With a strong core of returning starters and solid analyst projections, Clemson is in a great position to build on last season’s success and aim even higher.

That said, fine-tuning the offense, integrating the new defensive scheme and performing well in key games will be key to locking down their playoff chances. Klubnik’s chemistry with the returning receivers should give the offense an edge, with their experience and continuity paying off. He threw for 230 yards in Clemson’s season opener.

Why the Clemson Tigers Might Miss the College Football Playoff

Even with strong odds, anything can happen in college football, especially in the ACC. If Klubnik builds on his solid performance from last season and stays healthy, the Tigers should have little trouble making the CFP.  With so many key players returning from last year’s ACC Championship team, Clemson would have to face serious setbacks to miss the playoffs.

Clemson Tigers History in the College Football Playoff

Clemson has the second most CFP appearances behind Alabama, with seven college football playoff appearances. 

The Tigers made six straight appearances between 2015 and 2020, winning two National Championships, finishing runner-up twice, and two losses in the semifinal. Clemson is tied with Georgia for the second-most national championships in the College Football Playoff era, with two apiece, trailing only Alabama’s three.

The Tigers made the CFP last season as the No. 12 seed after winning the ACC Championship, but were eliminated by the Longhorns in the first round. This year, the odds are favorable for Clemson to return, and make a deeper run.
