The No. 5 seed Texas Longhorns (11-2) will host a College Football Playoff game for the first time in school history when they face the No. 12 seed Clemson Tigers (10-3) on Saturday afternoon. Texas narrowly missed out on a first-round bye in the new expanded playoff when it lost to Georgia in the SEC Championship. Clemson clinched the final seed in the field with a 34-31 win over SMU in the ACC Championship after losing three games during the regular season. The winner of this game will face No. 4 seed Arizona State in the quarterfinals. Texas has injury concerns with starting offensive tackle Kelvin Banks and receiver Isaiah Bond, though coach Steve Sarkisian said this week that “both players are making great progress.”
Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Texas is favored by 12.5 points in the latest Texas vs. Clemson odds, up a point from the opener, while the over/under is 51.5 points, per SportsLine consensus.
