Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football team have appeared on the season’s final USA TODAY Sports US LBM Coaches Poll.
Clemson ended their season with a wild 38-35 Gator Bowl win over Kentucky, with the game being praised as one of the best of the 2023-24 bowl season. Finishing the season with a 9-4 overall record but 4-4 in the ACC, the Tigers had a solid season but not the one many had hoped for.
Even so, the Tigers’ performance this season was enough to land them on the final Coaches Poll as Clemson ends their season as the No. 20 team in the country. Below is a full look at the final US LBM Coaches Poll rankings of this exciting season.
