Clemson Ranks in Dinich’s Latest CFP Top 12 Prediction

Current Prediction

ACC Network analyst David Dinich revealed his latest College Football Playoff (CFP) Top 12 prediction, and Clemson finds itself ranked 10th, the lowest of the three major polls.

Dinich is not alone in his prediction, as Clemson has also been ranked 10th in ESPN’s latest FPI rankings and 9th in CBS Sports’ latest rankings.

Team Performance

Clemson enters the 2023 season with a lot of question marks after losing several key players from last year’s team, including quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, running back Will Shipley, and wide receiver Beaux Collins.

The Tigers will need to find a new starting quarterback this season, and Cade Klubnik is the favorite to win the job. Klubnik was a highly touted recruit last season, but he did not see much playing time behind Uiagalelei.

Clemson also has a new offensive coordinator this season, as Garrett Riley was hired away from TCU. Riley is known for his up-tempo, high-scoring offense, and he is expected to bring a new level of excitement to Clemson’s offense.

Schedule Difficulty

Clemson has a challenging schedule this season, as they will face two teams ranked in the AP Top 10 in Georgia and Florida State.

The Tigers will also face a number of other tough opponents, including Notre Dame, Texas A&M, and South Carolina.

If Clemson can navigate their challenging schedule, they have a chance to make a run at the CFP.

Conclusion

Clemson is ranked 10th in Dinich’s latest CFP Top 12 prediction, but the Tigers have a chance to make a run at the CFP if they can navigate their challenging schedule.
