Phil Steele was on College Sirius yesterday, interviewed from SEC Media Days, and was asked of all the tremendous slate of games that make up the first weekend of college football, if he could see only 1 game on TV, which would it be? His answer was Clemson @ Auburn simply because of the ramifications for both teams.
Clemson has the most dynamic playmaker in all of college football in Deshaun Watson. Gus Malzahn is on the hot seat and must start the season well as they start with 5 straight games at home with 2 of them high level SEC games--Texas A & M and LSU along with 3 non cons [but 2nd game Ark St is no pushover winning the Sun Belt regular season last year going 8-0]. Auburn has a new DC and most remember they were actually picked to win the SEC West last year. Clemson has designs on winning the "natty" again this year and must win this one and beat FSU & Louisville to have that chance.
