Would a South Carolina win over the Clemson Tigers put them into the college football playoffs? The latest edition of the college football playoff rankings came out on Tuesday and the South Carolina Gamecocks came in at No.

The No. 15 South Carolina Gamecocks are currently 2.5-point underdogs to the No. 12 Clemson Tigers for Saturday's Noon showdown at Memorial Stadium in Clemson. For the first time since 2013 when Clemson was ranked No.

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.
