The Clemson Tigers and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish enter their College Football Playoff semifinal as the first teams to match up in this round with unbeaten records. Clemson has not appeared in the Cotton Bowl since 1940, when they beat Boston College. Notre Dame makes their eighth appearance in this game, with their most famous showing a comeback win over Houston in 1979, led by Joe Montana, and their first since 1994, when they beat Texas A&M. The Irish are the first team outside the Power Five conferences to make the CFP, as they beat eight bowl teams in their unbeaten slate. Clemson beat 11 bowl teams, but they didn’t beat any elite teams — and they almost lost at Texas A&M, only winning by two. Notre Dame beat Michigan to start the season, but Clemson is still looking for that first win over top competition. The Tigers did go undefeated despite turnover at quarterback, as Deshaun Watson is gone — and so is Kelly Bryant, and now Trevor Lawrence leads the attack. Which team will advance from this semifinal? Can Clemson cover that double-digit spread? We have your NCAAF betting preview for this matchup right here.
