Who will Clemson football play in the College Football Playoff?

Georgia

For Clemson to play Georgia in the first round of the College Football Playoff, Oklahoma would have to jump the Tigers as the No. 1 team in the nation.

I, personally, don’t see that happening.

I don’t see what Oklahoma would have that’s any better than Clemson. The Tigers just handed the nation’s No. 7 ranked team a complete beatdown.

I think Clemson stays at No. 1 and Oklahoma stays at No. 2, but let’s say the Sooners do jump the Tigers.

That would, most likely, give Clemson a matchup with Georgia.

So, how does Clemson matchup?

Georgia is a hard-running football team. To me, they are very similar to Auburn.

They have some solid depth, but I would give Clemson a huge advantage in the coaching aspect. Overall, I would still expect the Tigers to be favored, but I don’t think it will be likely to see the two teams match up in a semifinal.
