Clemson’s week 1 victory over Georgia was a statement win for the program. As I said in a previous post (linked here), it marked the culmination of Dabo Swinney’s work to transform Clemson from annual pretender to serious contender.

Follow @Ryan_Kantor Tajh Boyd started his season season with a victory over Georgia that earned him the Athlon Sports National Player of the Week.

Join up! For years I’ve had a top 25 NCAA Football Pick’em group using confidence points. Now that the ACC is up to 14 teams, it can generally provide at least six games per week and as many as 14. So forget about spreads and 10:30 games on the West coast and pick every game … Continue reading
It’s been a long and anxious wait for August 31st, but we’re getting close. As I previously wrote, this is the most anticipated Clemson football season in memory and expectations couldn’t be higher.
