Clemson vs South Carolina live score updates, highlights, how to watch with Tigers’ CFP hopes alive

CLEMSON — No. 12 Clemson football looks to close its regular season with a win against its most-hated rival.

The Tigers (9-2), who are No. 12 in the latest CFP rankings, look to boost their CFP résumé against No. 14 South Carolina (8-3) on Saturday (noon ET, ESPN) at Memorial Stadium. They eye an ACC championship bid after finishing conference play 7-1 but need Miami to lose to Syracuse on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) to make it. If they don’t make the ACC title game, they look to earn a CFP at-large bid, needing to defeat the Gamecocks and hope teams above them stumble like some did last week.

South Carolina, which is No. 15 in the latest CFP rankings, is one of the hottest in the nation, winning five straight games including three against opponents who were ranked at the time, and has an outside shot at a CFP at-large bid too. During its win streak, it is averaging 39.4 points per game and allowed only 15.6 points. It is led by second-year quarterback LaNorris Sellers, who has 2,110 yards passing for 17 touchdowns and six interceptions.

This will be the 121st matchup between these two programs with Clemson leading the all-time series 73-43-4.
