Clemson projected to face Washington in Holiday Bowl amid uncertain season

Summary

Athlon Sports has projected Clemson to battle Washington in the Holiday Bowl as part of its 2026-27 forecasts. Following a disappointing 7-6 season, Clemson is expected to struggle for an ACC title, predicted to finish fourth in the conference. Head coach Dabo Swinney aims to revitalize the program with changes in the coaching staff and new players. The starting quarterback position remains uncertain with Christopher Vizzina and Tait Reynolds competing, while the defense, under Tom Allen, shows potential with key player additions. Clemson's performance will depend on how quickly the offense adjusts.
