NCAA Football: 8 teams that control their own destiny

#2 Clemson Tigers (9-1)

Florida State v Clemson

Ranked #2 in the College Football Playoff rankings are the Clemson Tigers, and winning out will secure them a spot in their third consecutive College Football Playoff. While they did lose to the Syracuse Orange earlier this season, the fact that they are ranked #2 right now at 9-1 means a finish of 12-1 will get them in.

Just like with Alabama, FiveThirtyEight gives Clemson greater than a 99% chance of making the College Football Playoff if they win out, all other things being equal. The Tigers take on the Citadel Bulldogs this weekend before a clash with the South Carolina Gamecocks leading up to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championship game against the #3 Miami Hurricanes.
