COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Quarterback Deshaun Watson rushed for 114 yards and three touchdowns and threw for 279 yards and another score as No. 1 Clemson held off rival South Carolina 37-32 on Saturday.
Clemson extended the nation's longest winning streak to 15 games with its first victory at South Carolina since 2007.
The Tigers, who are 12-0 for the first time since winning their first and only national title in 1981, will face North Carolina in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game next Saturday in Charlotte, N.C.
South Carolina finished 3-9, ending its season with five consecutive losses under interim head coach Shawn Elliott, who took over when Steve Spurrier resigned on Oct. 13. It was the Gamecocks' first losing season since 2003.
No. 8 Ohio State 42, No. 10 Michigan 13
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- One week after struggling against Michigan State, the Buckeyes dominated archrival Michigan to spoil Jim Harbaugh's debut in one of college football's most storied rivalries.
Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 214 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback J.T. Barrett added 139 yards on the ground, 113 yards passing and four total touchdowns. The Buckeyes (11-1) have won 11 of the past 12 games in the series.
Harbaugh, a former Michigan quarterback who tormented Ohio State in the 1980s, was attempting to continue an odd trend -- seven of the previous eight Wolverines coaches won their first meeting against the Buckeyes. Instead, Michigan (9-3) had no answer for Ohio State's rushing attack. The Buckeyes piled up 371 yards rushing and five touchdowns on the ground.
