14. Clemson Tigers

It might be shocking that the championship hopeful Clemson Tigers are ranked this low in the ACC power rankings, but that is just the type of season it has been for Dabo Swinney's squad so far.

Their only win is against Colgate, with losses against Georgia Tech, LSU, and Syracuse. While that might seem like a tough schedule, it doesn't excuse losing to inferior teams. Clemson has the talent to dominate teams like Syracuse and Georgia Tech, but instead, they lay an egg against a below-average Syracuse team and get bullied in the trenches for an upset loss against the Yellow Jackets.

Their only win is against Colgate, yes, their only win is against Colgate.

At this point, we must look at them objectively based on their wins and losses. The only reason they are above Stanford and BC is that they at least gave a fight against some of the top teams in college football, such as LSU and Georgia Tech.

Dabo and the Tigers need to get it together quickly if they want a chance to make a bowl game at this rate. Clemson at North Carolina next week is the battle of head coaches who are in way over their heads at this point.
