Here we are, tired and bleary-eyed after a Sunday and a Monday night with late college football. If you missed it, the SEC somehow came out on top of the ACC as Tennessee rallied against Georgia Tech to win 42-41 in double overtime. We just know that Auburn will somehow win a closer game than that this weekend in Death Valley, and we’ll all lose several years in the process.
As for the team that’ll be playing at Clemson? They did pretty well over the weekend with the win over Georgia Southern, and things are trending in their way early on as we get ready for Saturday.

And if you believe in such statistics having any bearing on the field...
Auburn is 17-5 in AP Top-15 matchups since 2004, the second best win percentage among teams with at least 5 such games.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) September 4, 2017
Looking at Clemson, they’ve made a couple of depth chart changes after the opener,

For Gus, putting freshmen into his own depth chart wasn’t just guff — plenty of them actually played on Saturday, and played pretty well.
