Regional rivals collide Saturday as two of college football's top programs, the Clemson Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs, begin their season at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta at Noon ET on ABC/ESPN+.
Georgia, the 2021 and 2022 National Champions, didn't reach the College Football Playoff last season after losing to Alabama in the SEC Championship game. That said, the Bulldogs have won 42 of 44 games dating back the past three seasons and are coming off a 13-1 campaign that culminated with a lopsided 63-3 victory over Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
For Clemson, which failed to reach double-digit wins last season (9-4) for the first time since way back in 2010, this is its first game as a double-digit underdog in 10 years (Florida State, 2014).
