What bowl game will Clemson land in? New projection from The Athletic

The Clemson Tigers have quietly put together a 6-3 record entering Week 11 of the 2026 college football season. As Dabo Swinney's team heads into the final stretch of the regular season, where might the Tigers spend the 2026-27 bowl season? The Athletic (subscription required for full access) offered a new postseason prediction for Clemson in its weekly playoff and bowl game projections following the Tigers' 18-13 win over the Syracuse Orange in Week 10. Clemson's win over Syracuse extended the program's bowl eligibility streak to 28 consecutive season. College football analyst Scott Dochterman has Clemson (6-3, 4-2 ACC) meeting a top-25 team from the Big 12 at the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. The Arizona Wildcats improved to 7-2 with a win over TCU in Tucson last Friday and have an outside shot of reaching the Big 12's championship game. Though the schools squared off in the Sweet 16 of the 2024 NCAA Tournament when the Tigers reached the Elite Eight for only the second time in program history, a Clemson-Arizona matchup on the gridiron would be a first for both programs. The Holiday Bowl would also be a first for Clemson, given the game's previous longstanding tie-ins with

Clemson’s Dabo Swinney unhappy with loss of conference championship games

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney understands college football is changing again, but there is one part of the sport’s new direction he will genuinely miss. With the College Football Playoff set to expand to 24 teams beginning in 2027, conference championship games are on their way out. The CFP reached a five-year, $1.7 billion agreement with ESPN on Nov. 9, setting up one of the biggest postseason changes the sport has seen. For Swinney, the end of conference title games carries some real emotion. “I wouldn’t say it bothers me, but I’m not a fan of that,” Swinney said. “I love the conference championship games. I think it’s been great.” “It doesn’t bother me. I’d just say it kind of saddens me a little bit, I guess, because that’s going away,” Swinney added. “But hey, something new is coming. You just embrace it and you go attack whatever’s coming. But I hate to see that.” Few coaches have as much experience with conference championship games as Swinney. Clemson has played in 10 ACC Championship Games under Swinney, going 9-1 in those appearances. He also played for Alabama in the inaugural SEC Championship Game in 1992. “I’ve been in 10 ACC Championship

“There’s No Doubt We Can Beat Them”: Clemson Coach Sends Blunt Warning to Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Ahead of Thursday’s Clash

Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks have established themselves as one of the most dominant programs in women’s college basketball. However, Clemson head coach Shawn Poppie isn’t intimidated by the No. 1-ranked team ahead of Thursday’s rivalry showdown. Speaking during a press conference ahead of the game, Poppie explained why he expects his team to deliver a stronger performance against the Gamecocks. “I think that for them as young people, and this is no disrespect to the first three opponents we had, it’s harder to get them focused for those three than it is this one. I think that, in itself, you’re gonna see a different team come Thursday just based on the opponent, right, of how your focus level is leading up… I, as the head coach, want us to play better than we did the first three games. But you’re trying to convince 18 to 22-year-olds that believe that we’re probably better than them, we don’t have to play our best. It’s the fine line. I think there’s no doubt in that locker room that we think that we can beat them on Thursday,” Poppie said. Clemson WBB coach Shawn Poppie, previewing Thursday’s game vs. No. 1 South Carolina

Belton-Honea Path plays host to Seneca in its opening game in the AAA state playoffs

Bears take 6-3 record into postseason in first season under head coach David Crane. Honea Path – In its first season under head coach David Crane, the Belton-Honea Path High School football team stumbled out of the gate a bit. Now it did so against two high-powered teams in T.L. Hanna and Daniel, but when you’re a program that has played for the last two AAA state titles and have lost a combined six games in the four previous seasons, losing the first two is a stumble.

Seneca Approves Initial Budget Adjustment for City Administrator Severance Agreement

Seneca officials unanimously passed the initial reading of Ordinance 2026-24, expanding the fiscal year 2026–27 general fund revenue and expenditures by $193,170—drawn directly from municipal reserves—to accommodate payroll and benefit adjustments linked to City Administrator Scott Moulder’s $500,000 settlement package. This action follows a prior decision to advance Moulder’s contractual departure date from May 2029 to December 31, 2026, under an early retirement arrangement where the municipality will purchase credits through the South Carolina Public Employee Benefit Authority (PEBA) to grant him 28 years of service and disburse the remaining balance of the $500,000 as a severance payout in exchange for a liability release, pending final ordinance approval by the local governing body.
