In this day and age of college football, when teams are getting scrutinized more than ever before for non-conference scheduling, especially when it comes to making the College Football Playoff, Tuesday’s announcement that Clemson will play Georgia in 2021 makes a lot of sense.
And, though Georgia and SEC fans will never admit it, it makes just as much sense for the Bulldogs as it does the Tigers.
There is no doubt Clemson needed an upgrade with its non-conference schedule. Prior to Tuesday, Clemson was scheduled to play SC State, Wyoming, UConn and South Carolina in its non-ACC part of the 2021 schedule.
