Final 4 field falls into place for committee
WHO’S NO. 1
Rivalry games can be tricky and both Clemson and Alabama had difficultly pulling away in their annual in-state grudge matches.
The Tigers again gave the selection committee some reason to reconsider whether they should be No. 1. Deshaun Watson was great, running for three touchdowns and passing for another, but the Clemson defense had a tough time containing South Carolina in a 37-32 victory.
“I’m just looking to be 13-0 next week,” said Watson, who bolstered his Heisman Trophy credentials.
Clemson takes a 15-game winning streak into the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
