ESPN's updated Playoff projections for Clemson |
Clemson topped its biggest hurdle yet with ease and the Playoff picture this week saw some changes.
ESPN’s Playoff pickers agree in a projection that Dabo Swinney’s Tigers will meet Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. They both then have Clemson advancing on to Miami and a renewal of the ACC-SEC rivalry with Alabama. Clemson is a unanimous projected No. 1 seed in the latest ESPN picks, with Alabama and Ohio State the common next two seeds and Georgia the other popular pick. Florida had emerged early as a candidate but stumbled at Texas A&M on Saturday, for the lone top-5 upset. After rising to as high as No. 7 in the polls, Miami will have to hope to win out, including a rematch with Clemson for any high aspirations. The Big 12 continued to tear itself apart from a postseason perspective with Texas dropping an OT game to Oklahoma, leaving both 2-2 on the season after preseason Playoff hopes. The first College Football Playoff rankings are due Nov. 24.
