Clemson football. College Football Playoff. The two have been synonymous for much of the last decade, and Saturday’s 34-31 win over SMU in the ACC Championship ended a mini-drought in those CFP appearances from 2021-23.
Sunday, the CFP committee unveiled Clemson’s bracket in the new 12-team era of the postseason event.
The Tigers (10-3) are a 12-seed, as the new No. 16 in the CFP committee rankings, and will head to 5-seed Texas (11-2), runners up in the SEC. The winner advances on to face Big 12 champ Arizona State in a Peach Bowl quarterfinal.
