BUYING

A healthy Tigers team can make the final four playoff teams and make a serious run at the national title

Clemson could be one of the most underrated teams in all the preseason polls. Many forget that the Tigers are the only team to win 10 or more games in the last four seasons in the ACC, and as Florida State has lost their star quarterback, Clemson may have found theirs.

The big question for the Tigers is on the offensive line, where they have been downright pitiful over the last few years. If Dabo Swinney can give that line an overhaul this year and have them blocking like a unit rather than a group of players, then the sky is the limit.

The Tigers are lacking for some depth, particularly behind quarterback Deshaun Watson. They lose a few key pieces and it’s really going to hurt.

A healthy Tigers team can make the final four playoff teams and make a serious run at the national title. Even dinged up, they probably still finish in the Top 10 at the end of the season.
