CLEMSON – The messages have started to pile up as some Clemson fans grow more and more disgruntled with the direction of the program since the last College Football Playoff appearance (2020) – and ask Dabo Swinney why Best Is The Standard no longer applies to the football program, in their mind.
Clemson made six straight appearances in the CFP from 2015-2020, winning two National Championships. Since then, the program has fashioned a 23-7 record, including a 4-2 mark this season, with almost no chance at making the CFP and a very slim chance at making the ACC Championship Game.
