The Clemson Tigers are preparing for a crucial matchup against the Florida State Seminoles on October 5, with a current record of 3-1, following three consecutive victories. Clemson's offense has been explosive, averaging 55 points per game since their season-opening loss to Georgia, and they are ranked 10th in the latest college football rankings by FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt. The Tigers have a favorable path to the College Football Playoff, with a projected 50% chance to win each of their remaining games, and a strong possibility of winning the ACC. ESPN analysts suggest a loss to FSU could severely hinder Clemson's postseason aspirations, as they aim to maintain their momentum. The game will kick off at 7 p.m. ET and is expected to be covered live by ESPN. Clemson is favored by 14.5 points, marking their first true road game of the season.
