Rankings from AP Poll

The 1982 Clemson Tigers football team represented Clemson University during the 1982 NCAA Division I-A football season. The defending national champions, Clemson started the year with a loss to Georgia and a tie to Boston College. The team climbed back up the rankings by winning their next 9 games, but the season was derailed when Clemson was placed on probation near the end of the season for recruiting violations, and was made ineligible for a bowl bid.[1]
