Unexpected Underdogs Poised to Shake Up College Football Playoff First Round: Who Will Defy the Odds?
- TRACR’s Projected Winner (With Probability): Penn State (68.7%)
- Kirshner’s Pick: SMU +8.5
No. 12 Clemson at No. 5 Texas (Saturday, Dec. 21)
One Big Question: Can Clemson’s offensive line hold up?
I don’t think so. This is the least compelling matchup of the first round, involving a three-loss team that is not a threat to make a deep run and wouldn’t be much of a Cinderella story even if it did. Clemson’s problem in this game is that its offensive line is going to be food for a superior Texas front.
