Three teams had four players appear on the Walter Camp Preseason All-American team that came out this week.

Two of those will meet to open the 2021 season in Charlotte, as Clemson will take on Georgia on Sept. 4.

The Bulldogs placed Jordan Davis, Jamaree Salyer, Jake Camarda and George Pickens all on the second team. Clemson had Justyn Ross and Bryan Bresee on the first team with Jordan McFadden and Myles Murphy earning selections on the second team.

With talent like that on the field, it’s easy to see why the Georgia-Clemson game is one of the most anticipated games of the season. There’s talent all over the field, not just those limited to the Preseason All-American list.

Of course, two of those names listed above still have questions about their availability for the first game of the season. Pickens tore his ACL back in March and almost certainly won’t be ready to go for the start the 2021 campaign. Late November feels like a much more likely return date for the star Georgia receiver.

Ross is still waiting to learn if he will be cleared to return to play after he missed the entire 2020 season following spinal surgery.

The talent comparisons between the two sides don’t just end there. They both have promising young quarterbacks who could find themselves on All-American lists at the end of the season in D.J. Uiagalelei and JT Daniels.

The former started two games for Clemson last season and impressed in games against Boston College and Notre Dame. He threw for 781 yards and four touchdowns in those two games while replacing Trevor Lawrence. Now he’ll do it on a full-time basis.

For Georgia, Daniels went 4-0 as the starter to end the 2020 season while throwing 10 touchdowns to just two interceptions. He also averaged 10.3 yards per attempt, the most out of any returning Power 5 quarterback.

The better quarterback will likely play for the winning team when these two teams.

With Clemson and Georgia being two of the top recruiting programs in the country, the two also have a number of top recruits who could very easily make a bigger impact than their prior production has indicated. Clemson has linebacker Trenton Simpson and running back Will Shipley, while the Bulldogs have defensive end Travon Walker and tight end Darnell Washington.

Georgia signed the No. 4 overall class in 2021, with Clemson bringing in the No. 5 recruiting class last cycle.

If there is one difference in the way these two programs have accumulated talent it is through the transfer portal.

The Bulldogs have shown a willingness to grab players out of the portal, as they’ve brought in Arik Gilbert, Tykee Smith and former Clemson cornerback Derion Kendrick. Clemson hasn’t shown that same willingness to add the talent through the portal.

Clemson though hasn’t felt a need to do so and with good reason. The Tigers have made the College Football Playoff in each of the past six seasons. The Bulldogs meanwhile are still chasing, as they have just one College Football Playoff appearance since Smart took over.

While the season opener could be a playoff preview, these two teams both have the talent to be factors at the end of the season. Even with an opening week loss.
