National Outlet Picks Best Team in Palmetto State

Ahead of the 2025 campaign, a national outlet named the best college football team in each state entering the upcoming season.

In a recent article published by CBS Sports, the Clemson Tigers were pegged as the Palmetto State’s top team over their in-state rival, the South Carolina Gamecocks.

Here’s what CBS Sports’ David Cobb had to say:

“South Carolina won the head-to-head meeting last season to claim the 2024 Palmetto State title. But this is about who will be better in 2025. The Gamecocks have some high-end star power, but Clemson is better-positioned to compete for a national championship.
