Clemson’s Championship Hopes? ON3 Analyst Says Tigers Are Being Overlooked
A recent ON3 video is making the case that Clemson should be taken seriously as a national championship contender next season. While powerhouse programs like Alabama and Tennessee dominate the conversation, the host argued that Dabo Swinney’s squad, boasting the No. 1 returning production in all of college football, deserves far more respect.
Just a few years ago, many questioned whether Clemson could return to championship form, but under Swinney’s leadership, the Tigers have made major strides. The video pointed out how Clemson’s approach to recruiting and roster development has evolved, particularly when it comes to the transfer portal. While Clemson hasn’t fully embraced the portal like some programs, their strategy of loyalty and internal development has helped build one of the most experienced and battle-tested rosters in the nation.
With the highest returning production in the country, the Tigers are in a prime position to compete at the highest level. The video emphasized that Clemson’s roster continuity and culture of player growth have not only solidified their dominance in the ACC but also positioned them as a legitimate threat in the College Football Playoff.
Last season, Clemson’s roster was good enough to win the ACC and make a playoff push, and with so much talent returning, next year’s team could be even more dangerous. The Tigers may have been flying under the radar, but with Dabo Swinney at the helm and a stacked roster, Clemson is ready to shake up the national title race once again.
