2. College Football Playoff Berth

When you win your conference, there’s a good shot you make the College Football Playoff. Especially if you’re Clemson.

As long as the Tigers go 11-1 and win the ACC, they should be in the national semifinals for the fourth-straight year.

Most analysts around the country have Clemson as their first or second team in the field, and for good reason. The Tigers have a ton of talent and a very favorable schedule.

It certainly would be a disappointing season to see Clemson miss out on the CFB Playoff, which I why I included it in my expectations.
