re: Anyone else think Auburn beats Clemson?

I do not like the thought of Clemson playing in Jordan-Hare at night opening weekend.

Despite being down, Auburn is still Auburn and therefore will recruit well.

However, Kevin Steele's defense up against a very very good offense headed by Deshaun Watson is not good for Auburn.
For those who don't remember, Kevin Steele was the DC at Clemson up until he let West Virginia put 70 points on us in the Orange bowl. He's really not a good DC.

And while I believe everyone on this board is severely underestimating Brent Venables' DC capabilities (he rebuilt the D last year and took it to the natty), I believe that week one will not prove a strong showing from the Clemson D.
That's going to be where Auburn has a chance - if they can take advantage of a week 1 rookie Defense.

I think Clemson will win. But I don't think its a sure lock.
