Why the Clemson Tigers Will Make the College Football Playoff

Clemson returns much of last season’s production, keeping 85% of its offense and 76% of its defense. Senior QB Cade Klubnik started as a Heisman contender, but the season fell short due to offensive struggles, injuries, including a season-ending loss of WR Bryant Wesco Jr., and unexpected losses. The Tigers missed the College Football Playoff but will play in their 21st consecutive bowl game.

Clemson will look to end the season with a bowl victory before shifting focus to the offseason. The coaching staff will prioritize scouting the transfer portal, targeting top recruits, and shoring up weaknesses on offense and defense. Developing younger players and adding depth will be key as the Tigers prepare to return stronger and more competitive next season.

Why the Clemson Tigers Might Miss the College Football Playoff

Clemson entered the season with high CFP expectations, but early losses derailed those hopes, and the team failed to make the playoff. Struggling near the bottom in scoring and total offense, Clemson’s performance sparked frustration and raised questions about the program’s future. The Tigers needed to win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible, and they managed to do so before the season finale.

Next season, Clemson will navigate a roster in transition, with life after star QB Cade Klubnik at the forefront. Christopher Vizzina is expected to compete with incoming freshmen for the starting quarterback role as the Tigers look to establish long-term stability at the position. The hiring of Tom Allen as defensive coordinator aims to elevate a defense that underperformed in 2025, while attracting key recruits to strengthen the unit. Overall, Clemson will focus on integrating top offensive talent, stabilizing the quarterback position, and building a more consistent, dynamic defense to compete at the highest level.

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, Clemson failed to return, finishing the season with a 7-5 overall record.
