No. 12 seed Clemson travels to face No. 5 seed Texas on Saturday for a first-round matchup in the College Football Playoff. The Longhorns (11-2) are the highest-seeded non-conference champion in the field, while the Tigers (10-3) snuck into the playoff thanks to their ACC championship win over SMU.
The Longhorns enter this game as a double-digit favorite, and the key matchup will be their No. 1 defense against what is a banged up Tigers offense, particularly at running back and along the offensive line.
This is Clemson’s first playoff appearance since 2020 after it earned a berth in the four-team field every season from 2015-20. Texas, for its part, is returning to the playoff for a second straight season after losing to Washington in the semifinals a season ago.
