Where Clemson Ranks in the Final Coaches Poll

The final US LBM Coaches Poll was released Tuesday following the conclusion of Monday’s national championship game.

Clemson (10-4, 8-1 ACC) is ranked No. 11 in the final coaches poll.

The Tigers are tied with SMU, who Clemson beat 34-31 in the ACC Championship Game, for that No. 11 ranking.

The Tigers were previously ranked No. 13 in the coaches poll released on Dec. 8 after conference championship weekend.

This season, Dabo Swinney’s program won its eighth ACC title in the last 10 years, and made its seventh all-time College Football Playoff appearance and first since the 2020 season.

Clemson has now won each of its last nine ACC Championship Game appearances dating to 2011, while Clemson’s seven all-time College Football Playoff berths are the second-most in the nation in the CFP era (since 2014), trailing only Alabama (eight).

Clemson will open the 2025 season with a marquee matchup against LSU at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 30.
