Clemson Football: Tigers aren’t a ‘CFB Blueblood,’ according to poll

The Clemson football program has had more success than anybody in the CFB Playoff era.

The Tigers have made five-straight CFB Playoff appearances, won two National Titles and competed in four of the last five National Championship games.

Despite the success that Clemson football has had, a recent fan poll from Pick Six Previews revealed what the overarching CFB fan thinks about the Tigers.

Just 31 percent of fans (in a poll group that had more than 120,000 votes overall) voted that Clemson was a blueblood.
