The 2004 Clemson Tigers football team represented Clemson University during the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football season. Clemson's 600th win came November 20 against South Carolina, a game notable for a brawl between the two teams. Due to the brawl, the Tigers declined a bowl bid in part because of the unsportsmanlike nature of the fight.{{cite web |title=Clemson won't go to bowl because of fight |url=https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2004/11/22/Clemson-wont-go-to-bowl-because-of-fight/12851101170331/ |website=upi.com |access-date=4 March 2024}}
