Texas’ first-round game in the College Football Playoff against Clemson Saturday afternoon is approaching.
The Longhorns missed the opportunity to secure a first-round bye after losing to Georgia in the SEC Championship game, but they still host a postseason game. To advance in the first year of the extended CFP system, Texas has to play ACC Champion, No. 12 Clemson in Austin.
The teams play 3 p.m. Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Because Texas is seeded No. 5, it hosts a first-round game. Had they been seeded lower, they could have traveled to a higher-seeded opponent to play. Luckily for Texas players (and fans) the Longhorns avoided a road game in, say, South Bend, Indiana, where it’s expected to be a high of 28 degrees.
