The Clemson Insider has gone through and analyzed every team in Clemson’s 2016 regular season to find the toughest matchups the Tigers will face. The result? A calculated ranking of every team Clemson plays from easiest to hardest.
Where a team ranks depends on a couple main characteristics like last season’s outcome, prior meetings with Clemson, returning and departing talent, recruiting and changes within coaching staffs.
We continue our ranking with the No. 6 opponent: South Carolina (Nov. 26 – Memorial Stadium)
Last meeting: The Gamecocks tried their best to ruin Clemson’s perfect season, but failed when Clemson won 37-32 at Williams-Brice Stadium last season.
