CLEMSON — Clemson will open the new college football season in less than three months, against a team who will likely be ranked in the top 10.
The Tigers should also be ranked in the preseason top 10, which makes Clemson’s Aug. 30 opener against LSU one of the top games of the opening weekend. It’s a good thing for Clemson that it is a top 10 matchup in the Original Death Valley.
As the SEC shut down its spring meetings last week in Florida, the league distributed a seven-page packet of data highlighting the conference’s strength of schedule to the media.
