For a bit of metrics fun: Bill Connelly shared what his SP+ system calculates as Clemson’s chances of finishing with certain records this season.
Per SP+, Clemson's odds of finishing...
— Bill Connelly (@ESPN_BillC) September 26, 2023
10-2: 3%
9-3: 15%
8-4: 28%
7-5: 29%
6-6: 18%
5-7: 6%
4-8: 1%
Oh god.
Keep in mind that the SP+ has two teams left on Clemson’s schedule ranked higher than the Tigers. They will visit Miami (13th) and host Notre Dame (11th). The Tigers are 16th, one spot behind Florida State.
That is something to keep in perspective: right now the SP+ has Miami ranked ahead of Florida State. We’ll find out if that is fair as the season continues.
