The college football season is upon us once again, and this week one matchup figures to weigh heavy into the end of the year playoff race. In a sport where one loss could mean the end of a teams post season aspirations, this is one hell of a way to kickoff the season.

Both teams hope to get off to a hot start in this season opener after each suffered devastating losses in their respective bowl games last year.
Washington Huskies
One season removed from the school’s first playoff appearance, Chris Petersen has his Huskies poised to pounce on the rest of the Pac-12, in a not-so-playful way. But first things first.
The non-conference season opener that the Washington faithful have been begging for, for a very long time now. A win against Auburn to start the season off can help propel the Huskies into the national spotlight early enough that they can ride a very manageable schedule all the way into the playoffs.

Washington lost some big name talent after last season, but with the returning talents of Jake Browning and Myles Gaskin on offense, plus a whole slew of heavy hitters on defense, they should be able to give Auburn fits for most of the afternoon.
Auburn Tigers
The Tigers are looking to once again be the champions of the extremely tough SEC-West, a difficult task to accomplish once, let alone in back to back seasons. Unless your school is named Alabama, that is.

This is a must win game for the Tigers as well, especially after last year when we saw two SEC teams vie for the National Title in the College Football Playoff.
Though the SEC is a bit more lenient in the national eye when it comes to losses for its bigger schools (as we saw with Auburn last season), a loss to start the season will make it a lot tougher for Auburn to repeat as division winners in this tough conference.
With 13 returning starters from a team that beat both Alabama and Georgia last season, the Huskies may look more like the non-conference team most heavy hitters in the SEC schedule for their first games of the year compared to what Auburn will be facing all season long against their own conference opponents.

4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Auburn -2.5
This should be a low scoring game with both defenses finding ways to shut down their opponents for most of the game. But, a shootout wouldn’t be out of the ordinary either.
