After the devastating loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Week 3 of college football action, the Tigers no longer control their own fate in the race to reach the ACC championship game in Charlotte and the college football playoffs.

During his postgame news conference, coach Dabo Swinney challenged his players to react to the losses to the LSU Tigers and Georgia Tech and refused to quit on his team.

“"I hurt for our fans because they care," Swinney said. "It’s not the start that we wanted, but we’ve got to stay together and fight our way out, one play at a time, one game at a time. We can’t do anything about what has happened. This is Clemson. We’ve got two tough, tough losses to two good teams. "It’s my job to find a way to make those couple of plays. I take responsibility. I know there’ll be a lot of criticism, a lot of negativity. It’s important that our team stays away from that. We’ve got a long way to go. This is a competition. There are no quitters in that locker room and there’s no quit in me."

The Tigers were the preseason No. 4 team and according to FanDuel, Swinney's team was highly favored to make the college football playoffs (+900). After the loss to the Yellow Jackets, the Tigers' chances of making the 12-team CFP dropped to 5.4% according to ESPN analytics.
