This has been quite a year for fans of the Clemson Tigers in the 2017-18 season thus far. Could all three major sports teams finish in the top-10?
This has been quite a year for fans of the Clemson Tigers.
Tiger fans have been treated to an elite football team, an exciting basketball team, and an early-trending baseball team in the 2017-18 calendar year.
Here’s the question we have today: Could all three teams finish in the top-10?
Clemson Football:
The Clemson football team already finished in the top-10 for the 2017-18 season. The Tigers earned a No. 4 ranking after finishing 11-2 on the season.
Clemson, led by a dominant defense, won the ACC Championship for the third-straight year and went to the College Football Playoff for third-straight time.
The Tigers have proven to be a dominant force in the world of College Football.
I see many top-10 finishes here in the future, but for this year, they’ve already garnered that.
Clemson Basketball:
The Clemson Tigers surprised a lot of people this season.
The Tigers were picked to finish 13th in the ACC, but great performances from Marcquise Reed, Shelton Mitchell, Gabe DeVoe, Elijah Thomas, and Donte Grantham have completely turned that prediction on its head.
Now, Clemson is currently fourth in the ACC standings and solidly in the NCAA Tournament.
The Tigers are ranked No. 15 in the AP poll with a chance to move up if they win out and perform well in the postseason.
Is it out the wheelhouse for Clemson basketball to finish in the top-10? I know they’ve looked a little shaky, even in the win against Georgia Tech, but there’s definitely a chance that the Tigers could earn at top-10 finish.
Clemson Baseball:
Clemson baseball improved to 7-0 on the young season with a sweep against No. 10 Dallas Baptist at home this weekend.
The Tigers were picked to finish third in the ACC Atlantic, but right now they look really good. Right now, though, it’s too early to really say where Clemson will finish.

Outlook:
Clemson fans should, without a doubt, enjoy the success of all the programs. All three coaches (Dabo Swinney, Brad Brownell, and Monte Lee) seem to be building programs the right way and it’s been awesome to see that growth over the past few years.
