Clemson ranks Top 10 in USA TODAY Sports preseason college football re-rank 1-134

Clemson enters the 2024 season with plenty of potential but faces a range of expectations.

Some see the Tigers as favorites in the ACC, with a strong shot at making the College Football Playoff. Others are less certain, pointing to the rise of teams like Florida State and Miami as serious threats. With a more competitive ACC than in recent years, Clemson will need to prove they can stay on top.

The Tigers have a mix of experienced players and promising newcomers, making them a team to watch. But with the challenges ahead, they’ll need to perform consistently to meet the high expectations surrounding them.

Ranking No. 14 in both the AP Poll and the US LBM Coaches Poll, Clemson ranked much higher in the first released of the USA TODAY Sports preseason college football’s NCAA Re-Rank 1-134 . In these rankings, Clemson landed at No. 8.

Clemson’s No. 8 spot in the latest re-rankings is a testament to their potential this season. Despite some doubts surrounding the program, this ranking highlights the belief that the Tigers have the talent to compete at the highest level.

The offense will be key to Clemson’s success, and it will be a huge opportunity to take the next step forward. If the unit can find its groove and consistently perform, the Tigers will be well-positioned to make a strong push as the season unfolds.
