CLEMSON — Clemson is headed to the ACC Championship Game.

That is right, the Tigers are headed to the ACC Championship Game and its College Football Playoff spot is still alive.

The Tigers (9-3, 7-1 ACC) lost to South Carolina, 17-14, earlier in the day, but Syracuse stunned everyone by taking down No. 6 Miami, 42-38, at Syracuse.

With Syracuse’s win, Clemson will now play SMU in the ACC Championship Game next Saturday in Charlotte.
