Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Can you sense it?
Yes, it’s still practically hot enough to cook an egg on the pavement in most of the continental U.S. Yes, we’re all drenched in sweat after making the short trip from our front door to the mailbox. Nevertheless, this weekend is Labor Day, and that means fall and that means college football is finally here (officially).
Technically, several teams were in action last weekend for what college football fans have come to dub Week 0. But this is our first full weekend where nearly every team in every conference is finally in action at the same time.
With so many games going on all at once, it can be tough to know where to place your attention. We’ve conveniently ranked the five best games of Week 1 so you know where to tune your TV or streaming devices for the ideal college football Saturday.
