The Clemson Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks meet Saturday in Columbia in a rivalry game that carries less postseason weight than last year—but plenty of pride. The Palmetto Bowl matchup looks different this season, with both teams outside the national spotlight and South Carolina already eliminated from bowl contention. Clemson (6-5, 4-4 ACC) has rebounded from a 2-4 start with three straight wins, including a dominant 45-10 victory over Furman. Quarterback Cade Klubnik has stabilized the offense while the Tigers’ defense has improved its red-zone efficiency.

The Cyclones have seen their offense come to life behind quarterback Rocco Becht and a potent ground game led by Carson Hansen and Abu Sama III. Oklahoma State (1-10, 0-8 Big 12) has lost all of its conference games but has shown improved competitiveness over the past

The Missouri Tigers head to Fayetteville to close out their SEC regular season against the struggling Arkansas Razorbacks in a matchup with postseason implications for one side and rebuilding questions for the other. Missouri (7-4, 3-4 SEC) looks to bounce back from a 17-6 loss at Oklahoma, a game in which they moved the ball decently but struggled mightily on third down (3-for-15) and failed to reach the end zone for the first time all year.
