The College Football Playoff’s inaugural 12-team format brings an intriguing first-round matchup between No. 5 Texas and No. 12 Clemson, set for Saturday in Austin.
The Longhorns narrowly missed securing a first-round bye after falling to No. 2 Georgia in the SEC Championship. That defeat mirrored an earlier setback in October, where Georgia also bested Texas, leaving the Longhorns with a more arduous path to a potential championship.
Despite the disappointment, Texas benefits from hosting its playoff opener, offering a distinct advantage as they aim to regroup. Meanwhile, Clemson claimed the final playoff spot by clinching the ACC Championship with a victory over No. 11 SMU. While that win secured their place in the postseason, it set the Tigers on a challenging journey, beginning with this road test in Austin.
