Rumors of Clemson's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Since losing big to Georgia in Week 1, the Tigers have won their last two games against NC State and Appalachian State by a combined 125-55, including a dominant 59-35 win over the Wolfpack that was nowhere near as close as the final score.

Such is the state of college football in 2024, a time when change is the only true constant. Just look around in Week 4, and everything felt a bit topsy-turvy. In Texas, the headlines were all about the ballyhooed quarterback with the magical name who would lead an undefeated team into battle.
