This week's Game of the Week follows the College GameDay crew to Auburn, Alabama for Clemson at Auburn. Each program finds themselves in a state of rebuilding.
Clemson's Dabo Swinney took over the reigns of the program midway through the 2008 season following the resignation of Tommy Bowden. Swinney has a 15-8 record (9-4 ACC) as Clemson head coach.
After being one of the most heralded assistant coaches in the country, Gene Chizik spent two years as head coach of the Iowa State Cyclones. In his time at ISU, Chizik went just 5-19 and left in controversial fashion. In his first season at Auburn, Chizik and the Tigers went 10-5 with an exciting Outback Bowl victory over Northwestern.
The weekend may not contain huge top ten showdowns, but there are many match-ups that will help clear up the Top 25 picture. Nebraska travels to Washington to face their first BCS conference foe of the season, Iowa and Arizona battle in the desert, Texas Tech looks to pull another upset against Texas in Lubbock, and Wisconsin looks for an impressive home win to prove they are worthy of the top ten.
