Last year, Clemson made its first College Football Playoff appearance since the 2020 season. Now, the Tigers are looking to make the 12-team playoff once again and make a run at their first national championship since 2018.
But what are realistic expectations for Clemson in the upcoming season?
ACC Network analysts Eric Mac Lain and Roddy Jones weighed in on that question recently while previewing the Tigers’ 2025 campaign.
Considering the roster, talent level and returning production that Clemson boasts, Mac Lain believes the Tigers must make it to the semifinals of the 12-team College Football Playoff this season.
