Tony Crumpton - Assoc. Editor - Saturday, September 03 2016

ESPN analyst and college football commentator Kirk Herbstreit was on ESPN GameDay on Saturday morning and said that Clemson will defeat Auburn on Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

"I do think Auburn has a chance to be competitive," Herbstreit said. "I think Clemson will win the national championship but this is the week they have a chance to feel what it is like to be chased. The reason Auburn will compete is because of their defensive line. They've got some monsters at defensive end. They will compete, but I think Clemson will win the game because of Deshaun Watson."

ESPN Power index gives Clemson a 70 percent chance to win the game.
