ESPN has released their game-by-game predictions for every game of the 2022 season. With Clemson coming off of successful season that may not have met their usual high standards, let’s look at how ESPN’s Football Power Index feels the Tigers will fare against every opponent they’re facing this upcoming season.

The Tigers finished 10-3 last season, a record that most teams in the country dream of, but for them was their first season losing that many games since since the 2014-2015 season, where they also dropped three games. Clemson is highly favored in most of their games this season, with a 90% chance or higher of winning in seven of their 12 games this season according to ESPN’s FPI. But, there are a few matchups to key an eye on, the first being a primetime game on the road versus Notre Dame, where the Tigers are given a 60% chance of winning. There are also three conference matchups against Wake Forrest, Florida State, and Miami where the Tiger’s chances of victory drop to around 80%. If they want to get back into championship contention this season, the Tigers will have to win these key matchups and avoid any slip ups better than they did last year.
