Pop-Tarts Bowl betting
Last season, Clemson missed out on their first College Football Playoff in six seasons and landed in the Cheez-It Bowl. They beat an underwhelming Iowa State 20-13 in a bizarre game with a strange final unforced fumble by Iowa State’s Brock Purdy. The Tigers won 20-13, covering a two-point spread, but the total of 45 wasn’t low enough and the under cleared.
The game quickly divulged into a meme across the internet, from the strange ending to seeing a college football power like Clemson in it, to the final scene of Dabo Swinney with a giant king Cheez-It mascot and a bowl full of Cheez-It crackers.
