The Clemson football team is squarely in the mix for a spot in the playoff. Here are five areas the Tigers still need improvement in heading into November.

All Clemson football needs to do to make it back to its fourth-straight playoff is win out.

Standing in the Tigers’ way is this slate of games:

  • vs. Louisville
  • @ Boston College
  • vs. Duke
  • vs. South Carolina
  • an ACC Championship (assuming the team wins the division)

While none of those games should test the Tigers too much, there’s still plenty of room for improvement heading into the month of November before the College Football Playoff.

You’ve got to realize that some of these areas are just picking hairs, but they are still aspects of the game that Clemson can get better.

So, here are five areas that the Tigers must improve to win a National Championship.
