T-Thugs 3 Clemson brings back basically their whole team from last year with a playoff roster. Klubnik should be one of the best QBs in football and they're gonna be tough to beat. A win over LSU in week 1 would lock their spot near the top of my poll.

Doogitywoogity 5 I’m not sure if I’ve just bought into the hype or what with this team. I fully think it will be determined on if Klubnik or whatever his name is the qb actually has taken the steps people are saying he has. Otherwise old team that knows how to win.

eclectic_tastes 9 A lot to like about the Tigers this year. The front 7 on defense will be really good, and I think Riley has a chance to put out a fun offense. If they win week 1 then they validate a buzzy offseason.

Lefunnymaymays4lief 4 Experience experience experience. Cade is the best returning QB in the sport, Antonio Williams is a baller and defense is loaded with Day 1/2 talent. Dabo is corny but is still one of the best still in the business

Real_TSwany 7 Seven is about as high as I'm willing to rank Clemson until I can figure out where the oversaturation of hype is coming from. While an abundance of seniority proved effective for teams like Michigan and Ohio State, it's not an end-all-be-all. I've never seen a Cade Klubnik highlight on SportsCenter or on Twitter. Dabo is one of the country's most proven head coaches, and I'm still confident he can get this team back to the playoffs, but nothing in particular about these Tigers stand out to me. Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind, but I'm only human after all.
