College football fans may mot have to wait long for the season’s biggest game.
Georgia and Clemson are scheduled to open the 2021 season in Charlotte on September 4th.
With the two powerhouses expected to come into the season as title contenders, ESPN College GameDay host Reece Davis said he thinks this game might even be a No. 1 vs No. 2 showdown.
“I think (Georgia) should be in position to do it this year if they can let go of that mindset that they can’t be complete until they beat Alabama,” Davis said on the Saturday Down South Podcast. “Is it going to be less fulfilling to (Georgia) if they beat Texas A&M or if they beat somebody in the SEC Championship game and they don’t get a chance to beat Alabama and exorcise that metaphorical demon or whatever.
“I do think that’s a big deal. I think it’s been something that’s been hanging over that program a little bit, so we’ll see if they’re able to take that step forward in that regard this year. They should.
“Right now, I’m leaning a little bit to have (Georgia) preseason No. 1,” Davis added. “We might even have preseason No. 1 and No. 2 playing in Charlotte — in some order — when Clemson and Georgia play early in the season.”
