Clemson’s 2018 football schedule was released last week and the Tigers have some pretty good matchups on the slate that will decided their College Football Playoff fate next season.

Clemson returns 17 starters who started at least four games in 2017, while it also returns 22 other players who played significant snaps in the Tigers’ third straight run to an ACC Championship.

This year, Clemson has important dates against Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and Florida State on the road, while rival South Carolina, NC State and Louisville come for visits to Death Valley.
