ESPN’s Football Power Index is projecting Clemson to have a successful campaign in 2022.

FPI has the Tigers ranked 4th nationally and is projecting them to win approximately 11 games this season. FPI also gives Clemson a 13.8% chance of running the table and a 57.4% chance to reach the College Football Playoff.

Here’s a game-by-game breakdown of how FPI sees Clemson’s schedule, along with the Tigers’ percentage chance of winning each game:

  • Sept. 5: at Georgia Tech — 94.3%
  • Sept. 10: vs. Furman — 99.4%
  • Sept. 17: vs. Louisiana Tech — 97.7%
  • Sept. 24: vs. Wake Forest — 79.2%
  • Oct. 1: vs. NC State — 87.4%
  • Oct. 8: at Boston College — 90%
  • Oct. 15: at Florida State — 80.1%
  • Oct. 22: vs. Syracuse — 95.2%
  • Nov. 5: at Notre Dame — 60%
  • Nov. 12: vs. Louisville — 90.3%
  • Nov. 19: vs. Miami — 80%
  • Nov. 26: vs. South Carolina — 92.2%

FPI gives Clemson at least a 90% chance in 7 of its 12 regular season games. The Tigers are favored in all 12 contests, with the closest being a road matchup at Notre Dame in early November.

Perhaps the most surprising projection is that FPI gives Clemson a 87.4% chance of beating NC State at home on Oct. 1. The Wolfpack are considered Clemson’s biggest competition in the Atlantic division this season.

Clemson is also a big favorite over Florida State as it looks to win its 7th consecutive meeting over the Seminoles. FSU has not defeated the Tigers since Jimbo Fisher was still in Tallahassee.

Clemson opens the year at Georgia Tech on Sept. 5.
