Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is glad to be one of the four teams that have been selected to play in the College Football Playoff. His Tigers, the No. 2 seed, will face No. 3 Ohio State in one of the two semifinal games at the Fiesta Bowl.
Top-ranked Alabama will play No. 4 Washington in the Peach Bowl. Both games will be played on New Year’s Eve and will be broadcast on ESPN.
There was no question Clemson was going to be in the CFP as long as it beat Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship Game, which it did.
