2. Saturday, October 10: Clemson vs. Georgia Tech

Just a week after Clemson takes on Notre Dame, they will host another top 25 team in Georgia Tech.Though the Yellow Jackets are ranked lower than the Fighting Irish in the AP preseason poll (17 as opposed to 11), playing an intra-division game at home makes this game much more important than defeating a team that is currently ranked six slots higher.

The last time these two teams played, Watson left with another injury, leaving senior Cole Stoudt to take over the Clemson offense. Eventually, Georgia Tech would go on to win 28-6.

After losing a big game to Georgia Tech, Clemson must come back with a win in 2015. Their team is arguably better than 2014 – especially with a healthy Deshaun Watson – and will look towards getting revenge on October 10. This is a must-win for the Tigers, especially it being intra-division and against another ranked team at home.
