Rankings from AP Poll

The 1952 Clemson Tigers football team represented Clemson College during the 1952 college football season. After playing in the 1950 Orange Bowl and the 1952 Gator Bowl, in spite of the Southern Conference's ban on postseason play, Clemson was declared ineligible the conference championship. In part due to the ban, Clemson and six other schools left the Southern Conference to form the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 1953.
