Texas-Clemson live stream: How to watch first-round CFP game
By the time Texas and Clemson kickoff Saturday in the first-round of the College Football Playoff, two tickets to the CFP quarterfinals will be secured.
The 5 seed Longhorns (11-2) and 12 seed Tigers (10-3) will play for the third spot at 4 p.m. ET in Austin, Texas. The winner will advance to play No. 4 Arizona State in the Peach Bowl on New Year's Day in Atlanta.
Saturday is the first overall meeting between both programs. It is also the third game of a new era of the CFP, where first-round games of the postseason are taking place at on-campus stadiums.
Texas is coming off a loss in the SEC championship game against Georgia. Meanwhile, Clemson is coming off a win in the ACC championship, a win that sneaked Dabo Swinney's squad into the CFP and knocked out Alabama.
While the game is on TNT, it is being produced by ESPN from top to bottom — including supplying the broadcast crew. On the call for Saturday's CFP game between Texas and Clemson is Dave Pasch, Dusty Dvoracek, Taylor McGregor and Laura Rutledge.
