Projected seed: 5

Clemson's resume supports a strong NCAA tournament projection, primarily due to impressive wins against notable opponents like Duke and Kentucky, showcasing their capability to compete with elite teams. Their defense has been a standout, ranking highly and consistently stifling lower-ranked offenses, evidenced by dominant victories over teams such as Wake Forest and Florida State. However, the losses to Boise State and South Carolina raise questions about their consistency, especially given the close nature of several games against quality competition. To solidify their standing, Clemson will need to leverage their strong defensive play and continue their momentum against upcoming Atlantic Coast matchups, while avoiding slip-ups against weaker opponents.
