ESPN on season-defining game for Clemson

ESPN went through the "season-defining" games for each of its early Top 25, and for Clemson, it's the opener with Georgia:

"Clemson's three toughest games are likely all in the first five weeks, including the season opener against Georgia, a home date against NC State and a trip to Tallahassee. But if we're forced to pick one, let's put the spotlight on Georgia. Clemson's three worst seasons during Swinney's run of success at the school have come in 2014, 2021 and 2023. The common thread? The Tigers lost their opener in all three years, including two to the Bulldogs. Georgia won't define the Tigers' ACC or playoff hopes, but it will be the ultimate litmus test to decide if Clemson is capable of getting back to contending for a national title. -- David Hale"

For Florida State, it's Clemson's trip to town in October.

"The obvious (juicy) storyline is DJ Uiagalelei facing his old team and the quarterback who took his starting job in Cade Klubnik. But at this point in the season, Florida State will have already played four conference games in a true quirk of its schedule. What happens against Clemson could truly determine whether it has a shot at back-to-back ACC championships. Two other huge games loom -- a road contest at rival Miami and then two weeks later, a big matchup at Notre Dame. -- Andrea Adelson"

It’s all the same stuff that you post

None of us know, rather, it’s probably likely that Cade will lay an egg against a Kirby Smart defense

I still remember the year we opened at Auburn, had the game winning field goal replayed because of a penalty against the hiker, only to miss that field goal and then allow Auburn to win the game in overtime! Auburn went on to win the Natty with Cam Newton at QB while we went on to a 6-5 season - so sad! I often wonder what might have happen to our season had we won that game!!!!
