ESPN predicts the winner of Clemson football's last three games

The Clemson Tigers have strung together back-to-back wins in ACC play entering Week 11 of the 2026 college football season. The Tigers will look to make it three straight when they welcome the struggling Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to Death Valley Saturday. Clemson (6-3, 4-2 ACC) is coming off an 18-13 win at Syracuse. The Tigers' only touchdown came in the third quarter when Jahiem Lawson scooped up a Steve Angeli fumble and raced 22 yards to the end zone with 6:39 to play. Ashton Hampton later intercepted Angeli in the end zone with Syracuse facing third-and-goal at the 3, and quarterback Tait Reynolds had two first down runs on Clemson's final drive to help the Tigers win another low-scoring battle. Nolan Hauser, as he's been all season, was clutch by kicking four field goals. The Tigers will face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (2-7, 1-5), a team whose season has gone south under fourth-year coach Brent Key. The Ramblin' Wreck have lost four straight games after suffering a 44-17 blowout loss to the Louisville Cardinals in Week 10 at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta. Georgia Tech has been particularly bad on defense, where it ranks 123rd nationally in total

ACC Silently Mails Syracuse HC Fran Brown About Officiating Blunder That Cost Them Against Clemson

Syracuse lost a football game on November 7, and this week, the ACC told Fran Brown that the officials got the play wrong. Brown said the league sent him an email admitting Clemson’s only touchdowns in the 18-13 win should not have counted. The call stood after a review; it put Clemson up 18-6 in the third quarter, and Syracuse finished five points short. The Orange (4-5, 2-5 ACC) came into the JMA Wireless Dome off two straight ACC wins, including the upset of No. 19 SMU, with a bowl berth still in reach. Tim Leonard reported on X that Brown said on his live radio show on TK99 and the Cuse ap...

ESPN predicts the final score of Clemson football vs. Georgia Tech

The Clemson Tigers have one of the worst offenses in the country, and the statistics bear it out. Georgia Tech has one of the nation's worst defenses. Something will have to give when the teams collide in Week 11 of the 2026 college football season at Clemson Memorial Stadium. Clemson (6-3, 4-2 ACC) ranks 116th among the 138 FBS programs in total offense with an average of 338 yards per game. The Tigers have thrown just four touchdown passes all season and are 105th nationally in scoring offense with 22.7 points per game. Georgia Tech (2-7, 1-5), losers of its last five games entering Saturday's matchup in Death Valley, has a defense that ranks 123rd nationally in yards allowed (418.9 per game). The Yellow Jackets were embarrassed in a 44-17 home loss to Louisville last Saturday, a performance that led to head coach Brent Key insisting he was "damn pissed off" in his postgame press conference with reporters and then dismissing four staff members. For as bad as it has been on offense, Clemson enters Week 11 mathematically alive for a spot in the ACC Championship Game on Dec. 5 in Charlotte. The Tigers are coming off an 18-13 win

Where does OU land in latest bowl projections from USA TODAY Sports?

The Oklahoma Sooners entered the 2026 season hoping to return to the College Football Playoff and improve on last year's result. Instead, OU had four losses entering the month of November , and those expectations went down the drain. Now, head coach Brent Venables and his team are focusing on doing what it takes to make it to a bowl game this season, along with having the best finish to the season that they possibly can. The last time OU missed a bowl was in 1998, which was the final season of the John Blake era. Bob Stoops was hired to replace him, and Oklahoma has made it to bowl season for 27 straight years. After last week's win over Florida, one more win for the 2026 Sooners will extend that streak. In the SEC, the teams that qualify for the CFP are off the board for the remaining bowl selections. The Citrus Bowl picks the top SEC team that doesn't qualify for the playoff. After that, there's a pool of six bowls, with no pecking order, that will consult with the SEC and school personnel to determine where teams are scheduled. They'll try to create the best possible matchups.
