This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Georgia.

As a situational handicapper, "revenge" is a big factor I take into account when studying College Football opportunties and there's no question that this selection falls into that category. When you throw in the fact that Clemson is without perhaps the best offensive player in the league from 2013, I think that the writing is on the wall and look for Georgia to avenge last season's thriller. The Tigers lost Tajh Boyd to the NFL, meaning Cole Stoudt will be making his first career start in this game. Stoudt has experience with the offense, but this is an entirely different situation with all of the expectations now heaped on his shoulders and he's going to have a hell of a time playing in such a hostile environment. Clemson was unable to slow down RB Todd Gurley last year, who ran for 154 yards against it. With so much pressure on the defensive unit to carry the load, I'm predicting a classic letdown here. Georgia lost by a heart-breaking three-point margin last season, 38-35, but will benefit greatly here in playing in friendly confines. While Georgia will also be starting a new QB, overall the unit has had much less turnover and I don't expect much of a drop off. Note that beyond Boyd, the Tigers will also be looking to replace playmakers Sammy Watkins, who was their second-best receiver, Martavius Bryand and leading rusher Roderick McDowell. The Bulldgos also return almost their entire defensive unit. I'm expecting GEORGIA to pull away down the stretch; lay the points.
