The Tigers are generating serious preseason buzz. VIPClemson has been ranked in the preseason AP poll every year since 2012. Dabo Swinney's team started the season No. 12 when it reached the national title game in 2015. From 2016-2020, the Tigers started and finished every season inside the top five. After missing on top-10 expectations from 2021-2023, Clemson opened the 2024 season outside of the top 10, nearly falling out of the poll after the loss to Georgia in Week 1.

The Tigers have won eight of the last 10 conference titles. VIPIt sure feels like Clemson's to lose, doesn't it? To be fair, it probably feels like that most years for the Tigers' opponents in the Atlantic Coast Conference, which enters Year 2 with Stanford and California in 2025-26. It sure didn't feel like Clemson would make it eight championships in the last 10 years after the Tigers' devastating loss to Louisville in early November.

VIP Notebook: New name to know at defensive end, mock additions to class

1 week ago | 247sports.com | Austin Hannon

Straight from the notepad on a Monday morning. VIPAs Early Signing Day approached late last fall, Clemson had two of its five offers at defensive end committed in four-stars Bryce Davis and Ari Watford. Davis would flip his pledge to Duke a few weeks later. Then, Watford tore his ACL at the end of his high school season — he missed all of spring practice. It's a good thing the Tigers have T.J. Parker, one of the best at his position.
