Analyst predicts Clemson-UGA will be 'epic'

A team of college football reporters and analysts weighed in on which matchup they think will make for the game of the year this upcoming season.

CBS Sports staffers made their picks for the best college football game fans could see in 2021, and no surprise, one analyst chose Clemson’s highly anticipated season opener.

Chip Patterson believes the Tigers’ marquee showdown against the Georgia Bulldogs on Sept. 4 in Charlotte will be the game of the year.

Patterson cited the quarterback matchup between Clemson’s DJ Uiagalelei and Georgia’s JT Daniels, the caliber of the two teams’ defenses and the significant College Football Playoff implications the game will have as a few of the reasons why he thinks it will be the best game fans could see this season.
