Clemson didn't just lose its season opener at Duke. The Tigers got destroyed. The Blue Devils, who won nine games in Mike Elko's first season as coach, didn't play the perfect game, but quarterback Riley Leonard and company made plays when they mattered and capitalized on a host of Clemson mistakes.

Clemson hasn't made the College Football Playoff since 2020. While the Tigers did regain control of the ACC title last year, they allowed South Carolina to break a long losing streak in the rivalry and got shelled by Notre Dame. 

Is Dabo Swinney's refusal to use the transfer portal like his peers causing the Tigers to fall behind?

It's a Dear Andy episode, so I'm answering your questions.

We start off with some news: Kirby Smart responds to Brian Kelly's comments, Jim Harbaugh and his new "we-fense," and changing of the guard for the college football playoff.

Then, we check in with Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy to determine which players helped their draft stock in the first weekend of college football. What did Jim think of some of the players who starred for Florida State on Sunday night? 

Now, your questions.

Will Deion Sanders have a press conference this season that surpasses Mike Gundy's "I'm-a-man-I'm-40" rant?

Is the Texas defensive line -- specifically the interior group -- the best Alabama will see in the regular season?

Can anyone get the Pac-12 Network from the midwest?

Does Florida State's win against LSU help the Seminoles' realignment case?

Based on what we saw Sunday, should we still assume LSU is the second-best team in the SEC West?

Why do so many playcallers -- on offense and defense -- feel the need to get fancy instead of sticking to what works?

Tonight's extra point, we take a look at the bands. The band for the Texas Longhorns may not be heard... they'll be in the upper deck in Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday Night.
