Dec. 26 Independence Shreveport, La. 5:45 p.m. (ESPN) Tulsa (6-6) vs. Virginia Tech (6-6) The Hokies come in winners of 3 of their last 4 games.

Clemson UNC Quarterback X Marquise Williams is a really good QB for UNC. Dehshaun Watson is a great one for Clemson. Running Back X Elijah Hood is one of the country’s best RB.
