Clemson football program is facing varied rankings from different sources as they enter the 2024 season. Some rankings have placed the Tigers firmly in the Top 15, while others have left them outside of it due to their lack of activity in the transfer portal. This inconsistency is not uncommon in sports, as opinions can vary widely.
One such ranking came from USA TODAY Sports’ post-spring college football NCAA Re-Rank 1-134, which ranked Clemson at No. 9 – their highest ranking so far this offseason. However, the re-rank did not provide any explanations for the rankings, only the rankings themselves.
Clemson is known for its strong defense heading into the upcoming season, which has contributed to their high ranking. The main questions surrounding the team revolve around starting quarterback Cade Klubnik and their offense. Despite concerns about the offense, USA TODAY Sports writer Paul Myerberg seems to be less worried about it compared to others.
If Klubnik can excel at quarterback, Clemson has the potential to be a Top 10 team. Currently, they are the second-highest-ranked team in the ACC behind Florida State at No. 8. The uncertainties surrounding their offense are balanced by their strong defense, making them a team to watch in the upcoming season.
Despite some uncertainty surrounding their offense, Clemson is still a force to be reckoned with in college football. With their strong defense and potential on offense, they will undoubtedly be a team to watch as they enter the 2024 season.
