2. Clemson Tigers

If you’re Texas A&M, there’s still a sour taste in your mouth after losing in back-to-back matchups with Clemson in 2018 and 2019.

What better way to prove that you’re finally on the Tigers’ level as a national program than to beat them twice in a home-and-home series? Jimbo Fisher is 0-2 against Dabo Swinney since taking over at Texas A&M and has lost his past four matchups against the Clemson head coach dating back to his Florida State days.

The two head coaches developed sort of a rivalry when Fisher was still at Florida State and he was 4-1 against Swinney in the first five matchups but hasn’t won since, dropping to 4-5.

Fisher probably would love another crack at Swinney to prove he’s still got it and the Clemson head coach hasn’t totally eclipsed him in recent years.

Plus, that home-and-home a few years ago was a fun viewing experience.
