This weekend on a neutral site, Clemson will get a chance to win the rubber match in this three game series with the Auburn Tigers. Two years ago, it was Auburn who squeaked by with a win at home in overtime and eventually became the national champions. Were it not for a snap infraction and a dropped ball by the Clemson Tigers, perhaps no one would know the name Harvey Updyke.

Much like Auburn's 2010 team, last season's win for Clemson allowed them to make an eight week run in the national spotlight. You couldn't turn on a college talk show without hearing about the high profile offense Clemson was bringing to the table. Much of that exposure has led to our recent recruiting classes being loaded with talent.

This game features teams with similarities both on and off the field. Mascots, campuses, colors, slogans, youthful teams, expectations, but only one set of Tigers can get the win.
