Many have written off Clemson as a contender after the team chose not to utilize the transfer portal. However, even if the Tigers lose both games where they are underdogs, they could still make the College Football Playoff, potentially changing the narrative of college football once again. Here’s why:
Clemson is the underdog in two games this season: Aug. 31 against the Georgia Bulldogs and Oct. 5 against the Florida State Seminoles.
While the rest of their schedule still features difficult games, such as Virginia Tech on the road, rival South Carolina at home, and the Louisville Cardinals, they are favored to win each of those matchups.
Even if the Tigers lose to Georgia and Florida State, as experts have predicted, Clemson could still find themselves in the playoffs due to the expanded playoff format.
Clemson and head coach Dabo Swinney have faced criticism for being the only non-military school to not bring in a transfer player during the 2024 recruiting cycle.
However, if Clemson makes the College Football Playoff, the Tigers could shift the college football landscape and dominate high school recruiting.
As college football has increasingly focused on transfer portal talent, Clemson has remained committed to high school recruiting.
High school players have noticed that Clemson emphasizes high school recruiting more than other schools and allows young players to play immediately without competing against transfer portal players for playing time.
This year, three true freshmen will likely play for the Tigers: linebacker Sammy Brown, wide receiver T.J. Moore, and wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr.
High school players want to attend a school where they have a high chance of playing right away while also contending for a national championship.
If the Clemson Tigers make the playoffs in 2024, expect them to be at the top of the ranks for high school recruiting during the 2025 recruiting cycle.
