The dawn of a new era in college football - sweeping conference realignment, an expanded playoff, and a couple of new head coaches tasked with filling the shoes of giants. Going to be a very interesting season one way or another.

Football is great and 2nd only to racing imo. But wrapping my mind around football in the heat of August is tough. I hated two a days, it was just a torture from coaches with an attitude in the high 90s°.
It starts getting good to me around October when the air gets crisp and the leaves start turning to a reddish orange.

I figured as much haha. It’s fine, I still like ya!
Most major schools are fortunate enough to have built indoor practice facilities by now, but it’s brutal even just sitting in the stands during some of these games down south in September and even much of October. Can’t imagine what it’s like having to play in them at a high level. No glitzy climate-controlled domes like in the NFL and quicker tempo/more plays per game.
And vice versa playing in some of the stadiums up north in late November.
The Michigan vs OSU game in Michigan 2 years ago was magical theatre.
We made it…the longest season in college football history is upon us.

Rooting for Ga. Tech to upset the F$U Semenholes
Ramblin’ Wreck looking awfully nice so far.
This is a great opener for the greatest version of the greatest sport on earth
DJU is not close to Jordan Travis
Found it odd Norvell wedded himself to this guy for the season after he already got run out of the ACC a few years ago. Not anywhere close to being a top transfer market QB, or even the best from available from the PAC-2 (Cam Ward).
It appears FSU may have been overrated...shocking
Brent Key is a solid coach, but I didn't expect this
HAHA
Lmao!
Nothing else gets the juices flowing like a week 0 Top 10 upset. If Florida and USF sweep Miami I’ll be in nirvana.

College football is back, baby.
Could see seven or eight different teams winning the ACC this season. So sad that FSU wants to run to another league and hide.

I live when coaches go to their Alma mater and turn things around. What a great start to the season

Now, I’m a Georgia fan, so it’s normally **** Tech, but I dislike the state of Florida, so this is an instant where I’ll say good job Tech.
I’ll allow it.

They competed well with Georgia last year in that game. Also DJ U is wildly overrated, got chased out of Clemson for a reason
New Mexico looking good to pull off the rare FBS over FCS “upset”.
You were saying?
I left when they were up 31-14 late in the 3rd…wow. Would’ve been a good way for Bronco Mendenhall to start his New Mexico tenure.
Nice little shootout brewing in Boulder so far.
NC State might get upset. I think they were like 30 point favorites
Travis Hunter is really freaking special.

It's a shame he bought into poser Deion's nonsense and spent his collegiate career playing for a loser
He flipped from FSU to follow Deion to Jackson State out of high school so I think it actually worked out okay lol. Would much rather he be on an Independence Bowl-type squad (at best) than a Seminole any day.
Great game, although I feel like the clock operator screwed the Bison a good bit on that final drive. I know this game was scheduled back in 2016 or so but I’m still baffled teams keep scheduling the Dakotas for tune-up games…I respect it, but you definitely don’t need to be doing all that. A lot of risk for little reward.
I could never root against Mack Brown.
Iowa under is always free money.
Then Iowa just exploded in the second half lol
I definitely didn’t anticipate Virginia Tech/Vandy being the best game in the early window.
9th year senior scores for Miami
Respectfully, these super duper ultra seniors need to get a job. But the NCAA is powerless anymore.
*******, Billy Napier is cooked.
Florida 4-8 season incoming
Northwestern’s temporary stadium on Lake Michigan is pretty incredible.
What’s insane is that even that might not be enough to get rid of him. His buyout is like $25M, UF doesn’t even have a President at the moment and the AD is also on the hot seat. Maybe too many moving parts for it to happen this year. And they might just justify it by saying it’s in part because they have arguably the toughest schedule in history this season.
