Clemson — Off the ballot
Clemson is off the 2026 AP Top 25. ACC. That is occupancy. It is not a 2026 record.

Clemson is off the 2026 AP Top 25. ACC. That is occupancy. It is not a 2026 record.
Off the ballot
Clemson is not in the 2026 week-1 AP Top 25. Occupancy. This piece does not invent a rank, and it does not turn that into a win-loss line.
2025 talent, not 2026
On the 2025 talent composite Clemson is 918.43, 7th of 134. That list is 2025. The AP is 2026. Do not collapse the years.
7 of 134, off the 2026 AP
2025 talent is 7 of 134. The 2026 AP Top 25 does not include Clemson. Two lists.
The offense coming back
2026 returning production is 41.4% of the 2025 offense. That is 63rd of 136 teams with 2026 returning-production data. Volume is 124.3. Usage on that returning offense is 37.3%.
Passing usage is 17.5%. Receiving usage is 65.8%. Rushing usage is 30.4%. This is offensive returning production. It is not a two-way number, and it is not a score prediction.
Off the 2026 ballot. 7th of 134 on 2025 talent. 41.4% of the 2025 offense back, 63rd of 136. That is the card.
