Why the Clemson Tigers Will Make the College Football Playoff
A former mainstay in the College Football Playoff, the Clemson Tigers have been out of the playoff for the last three seasons. Could this year be the year they earn another playoff berth, and compete for another national title?
Currently, the college football playoff odds have the Tigers at +200, the second-best odds in the ACC just barely behind Florida State.
HC Dabo Swinney and QB Cade Klubnik are at the helm for a very talented Clemson offense that returns four starters on the offensive line and a traditional stable of weapons. The Tigers' defense is ranked as the fourth-best nationally heading into 2024 with eight starters returning from last year's No. 8-ranked defense.
Finally, equally if not more important, is that Clemson plays a relatively soft schedule in-conference, with just Louisville and Florida State as potential slip-up games.
If they can win those games and the conference, it would make a potential loss to Georgia to start the season much more palatable, increasing the chances that Clemson returns to the College Football Playoff and potentially another championship.
Why the Clemson Tigers Might Miss the Playoffs
Clemson has had moderate success over the last few seasons, but not what Tiger-faithful are used to after six-straight playoff appearances.
Clemson will need to see some improvement from Klubnik, including his ability to make plays in big moments and get the ball to playmakers. Clemson ranked 52nd in the country last season in total offense, a far cry from their historically Top 25 offense.
Further, their schedule, while relatively light in the ACC, does include starting the season against No. 1-ranked UGA and finishes against South Carolina, with Florida State and Louisville in between.
Clemson hopes to be one of likely two teams from the ACC to make the playoff, but could their non-conference games cause a hiccup in their plans if they don't run the table in the ACC or win a conference championship?
Clemson Tigers History in the College Football Playoffs

The Tigers made six straight appearances between 2015 and 2020, winning two National Championships, finishing runner-up twice, and two losses in the semifinal. Clemson is tied for second with Georgia for the most national championships during the college football playoff era, each with two.
It has been three seasons since Clemson last made the playoffs - could this be the year they return? The odds are in their favor.

The Clemson Tigers College Football Playoff odds are currently +190, according to DraftKings. That gives them a 34.4% chance to make the 12-team playoff. Coming off of their worst loss total (4) since 2011, Dabo Swinney's program looks ready to turn it around in 2024.
The most recent College Football Playoff appearance for Clemson is 2020. However, they've been on a steady decline since then, finishing outside the Top 10 in two out of the last three seasons. Their 2024 preseason ranking (14) projects them to finish just outside of the 12-team playoff.
