Can Clemson Finish 2026 Season by Winning Out?

The Clemson Tigers were able to get a big win this past weekend over the Syracuse Orange, seeing their record improve to 6-3 on the season.

After a slow start to the season, the Tigers have started to pick things up, with the defense leading the charge. Clemson has used its strong secondary to help win games, with the offense falling behind in the race.

This team still has a lot to play for the rest of the way, and with just a few games remaining, could they run the table? Clemson has started to play much stronger over the last few weeks, giving thought to the possibility.

Here are the three games remaining for the Tigers during the regular season:

November 14: vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

For the upcoming game this week, Clemson just needs to make sure that the offense continues to build on everything. The Tigers' offense has been a problem all season long, and the Yellow Jackets have been sneaky this season.

Clemson will have to likely rely on its defense to win the game again, but if they can, it could set them up very well. Georgia Tech is 2-7 on the season, going 1-5 in ACC play, but this Tigers team can't over look this group heading into the week.

November 20: at Duke Blue Devils

This is going to be a tough game for Clemson, especially with it being a road game on a Friday night. Duke is one of the better teams in the ACC this season, holding a record of 7-2 entering the current week.

The Blue Devils are led by star running back Nate Sheppard, who has gotten some Heisman Trophy buzz this season, and the Tigers will have to try to contain him in the game. If Clemson's defense can hold Sheppard down, it would force Duke to throw the ball, which would play into the Tigers' advantage.

November 28: vs South Carolina Gamecocks

While the Gamecocks are ranked in the top-25 right now, they have been a little inconsistent so far this season. Quarterback LaNorris Sellers has played well, but he hasn't exploded on the scene as some believed he would in college football.

For the Tigers, this game will come down to their own offense and whether they can match the Gamecocks putting points on the board. Clemson has started to look a little better of late, but it remains to be seen where this team will be in a few weeks.
