Can Clemson Tigers make it to the College Football Playoff this season?
As things stand, Clemson is still in the hunt to reach the College Football Playoff. However, Swinney's group cannot afford to lose any more games in the regular season.
Clemson is ranked as the 22nd team in the country, but the season-opening defeat against Georgia hurt its chances of making it to the 12-team playoffs. The Tigers need to win their remaining 10 regular season games convincingly to get a spot in the playoffs.
