Does Clemson play anyone good this year?
Clemson doesn’t have to play in the SEC West or Big Ten East, and it’s been a plus over the last two seasons with easy runs right on through to the College Football Playoff. However, it’s not like the team was exposed on the big stages over these two years, with a national title and another appearance in the championship game when given the shot.
The Tigers have more than earned their stripes under Dabo Swinney, and again, it’s not their fault the rest of the ACC has been disappointing.
Except for November 7th. That’s when Clemson has to make the trip to face Notre Dame, but the team even gets a bit of a break for this with two weeks off to prepare and with Notre Dame having to play the week before.
Outside of the Irish, how many FBS teams on the slate finished with winning records last season? Louisville, Virginia, and Wake Forest.
