#1 Clemson Vs. Boston College, 12:00 p.m. EST

Kicking off college football Saturday will be the number 1 team in the country, Clemson, as they take on Boston College. The two teams have faced off 29 times in history and it has been all Clemson as they have won 18 games to BC’s 9 while there have been two ties. Not to mention, Clemson has also won the last nine matchups between the two.

Looking at the game, arguably the best quarterback in all of college football, Trevor Lawrence, will not be suiting up as he has tested positive for COVID-19 which means they will turn to a true freshmen quarterback in D.J. Uiagalelei which could give Boston College the momentum they need to pull off an upset.

Also kicking off the weekend will be the fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs as they take on Kentucky. Georgia is heavily favored for a reason as they are one of the strongest teams in the nation.

The two teams have faced off 73 times over the years and Georgia has absolutely demolished them as they have won 59 games including their last 10 meetings while Kentucky has won 12 with two ties as well.

In the AAC, Cincinnati will be taking on Memphis for their 37 all-time meetings. Memphis holds the upper hand thus far in the series as they have won 23 games while Cincinnati has won 13.
