The College Football Playoff announced today that the second-seeded Clemson Tigers will face the third-seeded Ohio State Buckeyes in the Allstate Sugar Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, La., on Friday, Jan. 1.
Clemson earned the #2 spot in the final College Football Playoff rankings, clinching their sixth straight CFP berth. The Tigers will play Ohio State in the College Football Playoff Semifinal against the Ohio State Buckeyes, a rematch of the memorable 2019 Fiesta Bowl that resulted in a 29-23 victory for Clemson.
The selection marks Clemson’s national-best sixth consecutive College Football Playoff (CFP) appearance. With the selections by both schools this year, Clemson and Alabama (six each) remain tied for the most CFP berths in history.
