The Clemson Tigers were announced as the No. 12 seed in the overall College Football Playoff on Sunday afternoon.
The team will play the No. 5-seeded Texas Longhorns in the first round. As first-round games are played on college campuses, the game will take place in Austin, Texas, at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
The Tigers were the lowest-seeded conference champion out of the five champions that were selected for the postseason. The winner of the first-round game will play Arizona State in the Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Clemson received the berth after defeating the SMU Mustangs at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday night, securing the bid on a game-winning 56-yard field goal from Nolan Hauser. Fortunately for the Mustangs, the team is in the playoff as well, securing a No. 11 seed and playing Penn State in the first round of the postseason.
Kickoff between the Longhorns and Tigers is set for 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 21.
