A 7-6 record is certainly not what Clemson had envisioned or expected when it began the 2025 season as the No. 4 team in the country, with College Football Playoff and national title aspirations.
Unfortunately for the Tigers, that’s the result they got at the end of a disappointing campaign. Clemson’s 7-6 record marks its worst since 2010, Dabo Swinney’s second season as the full-time head coach. The Tigers saw their 14-year streak of winning at least eight games in a season come to a close, as Clemson had won eight or more games every year since 2011.
