The No. 3 Clemson Tigers took another step toward the College Football Playoff on Saturday with a 38-3 road win over the rival South Carolina Gamecocks at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.
Clemson improved to 12-0 on the season with the win, and it is just a victory over Virginia in next week's ACC Championship Game away from clinching a CFP berth. South Carolina fell to 4-8 in defeat, wrapping up a disappointing season that did not result in a bowl appearance.
The win was Clemson's sixth in a row over South Carolina in the Palmetto Bowl.
