It’s Week 2 and hello NFL with big games on Thursday in Kansas City and Friday in Brazil! A better college football schedule than week 1, especially with Big Noon Kickoff and College Gameday at the Big House for Texas at Michigan. CFB also continues to give you something the NFL will not…four games in 4K this week. Check the schedule to see those games.
Welcome to Week 1 and a full slate of college football! There are 96 college football games over 5 days starting today through Monday. All 134 FBS teams are playing. There are some good matchups, including 3 Top-25 showdowns. But, for the most part, it’s a pre-season affair with an average spread of 24 points for the favorite. There are 60 FBS-FCS matchups, 27 power-4 vs group of 5 matchups, and only 9 power-4 matchups.
I filtered out some of the trash (32 FBS-FCS games), so apologies to Tulsa, Army, Navy, NM State, and so-on fans, but schedule better games. You will always get every Top-25 and SEC game on the schedule. What are the color codes?: Crimson = OU; Orange = Tennesssee; Yellow = Top 25; Blue = SEC; Tan = Other games of interest
Well, College Football is back, sort of. It’s Week 0, which means there are only certain exceptions that allow games to be played before Labor Day weekend. One of those exceptions is international games, thus in steps Ireland in what has become a bit of a tradition. The NFL has London for several games, and I think Dublin has a good college town feel in comparison. It certainly draws a lot of US tourists as it’s estimated 75% of the fans in attendance travel from the US. And so why is SMU playing at Nevada? SMU found itself a game short with the move to the ACC and had to beg Nevada to play a 13th game on Week 0, which it has an option to do because of the Hawaii rule. So, enjoy Week 0 and rest up for a full slate week 1.
