The Clemson Tigers must take down their bitter rivals, the South Carolina Gamecocks, this weekend if they want to stay alive in the playoff race. It is a Top-15

When the season began, Clemson and South Carolina had big concerns at quarterback. Now it's a position of strength for the Palmetto State rivals.

The 12th-ranked Tigers (9-2, No. 12 CFP ) and 16th-ranked Gamecocks (8-3, No. 15 CFP) are two of the hottest teams in the country. It's the first time both have been ranked in the season-ending rivalry game since 2013 and both hope a win means a berth in the expanded 12-team playoff.
