Revenge on the biggest stage. That's what the analytics powerhouse Pro Football Focus is forecasting for the Clemson Tigers this season.
In its official College Football Playoff prediction released Friday, PFF has Clemson completing the ultimate revenge tour by defeating the Texas Longhorns—the very team that eliminated them from last year's playoff—to win the 2025 National Championship.
The Perfect Storm for a Title Run
According to PFF's analysis, everything is aligning for Dabo Swinney's program to return to the top of the sport. While seven of last year's 12 playoff teams are breaking in new starting quarterbacks, the Tigers boast stability and elite talent at the most important position on the field.
