South Carolina won its second straight in Death Valley last year, but it's Clemson who owns the all-time series by a commanding margin. The Tigers have won eight of the past 10 meetings against the Gamecocks and haven't lost in Columbia since 2013. South Carolina is ranked No. 13 in the preseason top 25 polls.

LSU is looking to snap a five-year week one losing streak. The last time LSU won a season opener was 2019, when Joe Burrow and company began their run to a national title.
