COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - The Clemson Tigers are officially in the College Football Playoff.

Clemson has been ranked as No. 2 and will be playing No. 3 Ohio State in Phoenix on December 31st.

Following a 42-35 win over Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game, the Tigers finished in the top four in the final College Football Playoff rankings for the second straight year.

Clemson finished the year 12-1 with their only loss coming to Pitt at home. Now, Dabo Swinney's team is headed to Phoenix to face the Buckeyes in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl.

Last year, Clemson defeated Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl to earn a spot in the National Championship game.

However, the Tigers suffered their first loss at the hands of top-ranked Alabama a year ago in Phoenix falling just short of completing their list of five goals.

Alabama was ranked as No. 1 in the final rankings this year. The defending champions will face No. 4 Washington in Atlanta in the Peach Bowl..
