Coming into the 2021 season, there was a sentiment that the Clemson football team may only face one ranked opponent– the Georgia Bulldogs— in its entire regular season.

As we look forward following the first week of the year, though, that may not actually be the case.

While the Tigers don’t currently have another ranked opponent on the schedule, there is promise that a few of their remaining teams might crack the top-25 (and beyond) before it’s all said and done.
