College football fans do not want to see Clemson make the College Football Playoff
Clemson is 8-0 following its 27-21 victory over Syracuse on Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers likely won’t face a ranked opponent against until a potential ACC Championship Game matchup in early December.
That means there’s a clear path between Clemson and a potential appearance in the College Football Playoff. The Tigers are hoping to get back to that stage for the first time since the 2020 season.
However, some college football fans and media are not looking forward to a potential playoff appearance for the Tigers. Despite having an 8-0 record and 3 ranked wins, there are still still plenty of doubters about Clemson’s hopes moving forward.
Shortly after Clemson’s victory over the Orange, reaction poured in from CFB fans about the Tigers’ Playoff aspirations:
Nobody and I mean nobody needs to see this Clemson team in the college football playoff 🍊

ACC is going to get Clemson into the playoff and they are going to get absolutely destroyed.

Clemson still undefeated and has yet to look like a playoff team once. Baffling.

Well, that was fun for a while. It would be a complete shame if Clemson stays undefeated and wastes a playoff spot

The don’t expand college football playoff crowd wants this Clemson team in but not Texas and Tennessee who would both beat Clemson into a pulp

If Clemson makes the playoff, it’ll be the biggest miscarriage of justice in CFP history.
They are frauds. They’ve been frauds.

I don't know if Clemson will win the ACC.
I don't know if they will make the playoff.
But I do know that if they make the playoff, and try to run this crackerjack offense against Georgia, Tennessee, Bama, Michigan or Ohio State, they will get DESTROYED

Clemson has no shot if they're in the playoffs with any combination of Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama or Georgia… I would only give them an outside shot against either Michigan or Texas

Clemson has a bye week in Week 9 but will face another quality opponent in Notre Dame in Week 10. That game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET from Notre Dame Stadium.
