The Clemson Tigers, led by head coach Dabo Swinney, are gearing up for a crucial 2024 football season that could shape the future of their program. As college football evolves with the new 12-team College Football Playoff, Clemson has a prime chance to make a significant comeback.
The Tigers aim to reestablish their dominance, but they must first navigate a challenging Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) schedule. Their key games include a high-stakes opener against Georgia in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff in Atlanta, and a pivotal road matchup against Florida State in Week 5. While Clemson is projected to fall short in these two contests, victories could dramatically boost their standing.
Their schedule features wins against Appalachian State, North Carolina State, Stanford, Wake Forest, Virginia, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, The Citadel, and South Carolina. The battles against NC State and at Virginia Tech will be particularly tough, but winnable.
The showdown with Florida State is especially critical. Clemson seeks revenge after a narrow loss to the Seminoles last season, a game many believe they should have won. A victory here could pave the way for an ACC title run and secure their spot in the playoffs.
As the Tigers prepare for this defining season, their ability to capitalize on the new playoff format will be key to their success. With Swinney at the helm, Clemson has the potential to surprise many and return to the national spotlight.
