This week's matchup between top-10 Tigers features a pair of quarterbacks who could both end up challenging to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Here's who will have the call of Saturday's top 10 showdown in Death Valley when No. 4 Clemson hosts No. 9 LSU in prime time.

Ball State could be one of the worst teams in the country this season. It's the season opener, at home, with a brand new coaching staff. If Purdue can't put together a full 60 minutes here and pound the Cardinals into submission, it's going to be another extremely difficult year.

South Carolina won its second straight in Death Valley last year, but it's Clemson who owns the all-time series by a commanding margin. The Tigers have won eight of the past 10 meetings against the Gamecocks and haven't lost in Columbia since 2013. South Carolina is ranked No. 13 in the preseason top 25 polls.

The final ranked-on-ranked matchup of Week 1 features Miami hosting Notre Dame in primetime on Sunday evening, the final Sunday before the NFL season begins this year. Last year, this window featured a thriller that saw USC defeat LSU, and that excitement will hopefully be repeated with this matchup.

Clemson vs. LSU has been listed as a 7:30 p.m. start for months, but games broadcast on either ESPN or ABC often get underway later than their announced kickoff times due to network overlap and time windows, so the change isn't exactly unusual.

Week 1 of the 2025 college football season is about to kick into full swing, and the Heisman Trophy betting odds paint an interesting picture entering the year.

Clemson is favored to win the ACC again and return to the College Football Playoff. Here are five bold predictions for the Tigers this season.
