For the past two years, the Clemson Tigers have lost the NCAA Football Betting trust of gamblers. Head coach Dabo Swinney has led the program to its greatest era of glory in history. But, there has been a noticeable regression of Swinney’s program in recent years. Much of that slippage is due to a plodding offense. Cause by Swinney’s stubborn refusal to use the transfer portal to enhance his roster. He won’t do it. At least not yet. Thus, it’s putting the Tigers behind rising programs. One of those improved teams is the Florida State Seminoles.
