No. 7: Clemson Tigers
Dabo Swinney has sort of rescued his Clemson Tigers from the possibility of a disastrous season in recent weeks. As Clemson sits at 6-5, it is looking to finish the season with a four-game winning streak.
Clemson has been winning by surviving in recent weeks, and after the horrid 3-5 start, that is all you can hope for is you're a Clemson fan at this point. A 7-5 finish would be considered a failure for most Clemson fans, but Dabo has avoided what looked to be his worst season since he got to Clemson.
No 6: Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Wake Forest has been on a roll these past couple of weeks, and that continued with a dominant win over Delaware (where they covered the spread). Wake has had good wins over SMU and Virginia in recent weeks, not to mention it was one point away from taking down Georgia Tech earlier in the season.
Wake sits at 8-3 with a chance to take down Duke next week to move to a nine-win season in 2025.
