Kent State Golden Flashes at No. 5 Clemson Tigers (40.5, 51) | 12:00 PM ET | September 2
With a National Championship under its belt and the departure of Deshaun Watson, you may think laying off of Clemson may be the smart choice, but not in week 1.

The Tom Herman era in Texas starts at home facing a Maryland team that?s trending up. What Herman does on offense is sensational. The rise of Houston is the proof. But can he have the Longhorns in mid-season form in Week 1?

The Volunteers? may be ranked 25th, but they are not expected to stay ranked this season and a road game versus Georgia Tech may be the first tile to tumble.
