The Clemson Tigers are gaining respect coming out of spring practice, as ESPN has them ranked inside the top 10 in their FPI ranking.
According the FPI, the Tigers own the seventh-best chance of winning the national championship at 3%, and the seventh-best odds of reaching the CFP. According to the FPI, “The Tigers, who have higher talent ratings on both sides of the ball (than FSU), have a 45% chance to win the ACC, while the model gives Florida State just a 17% chance.”
