Memphis vs UNLV next weekend is going to be a big early season game for the G5 spot in the playoff

Starting next week will be 19 straight Saturday’s of College Football. We are so back

Why is the Week 0 slate so meh?. If you're going to have a Week 0, give us at least one juicy matchup.

Week 1 kinda sucks too. Only ranked matchup is ole miss-Louisville. Week 2 on the other hand is a banger

Yeah Week 1 this year is one of the worst Week 1's I remember in recent memory. Heck the slate on Sunday, with 3 games, is arguably better than the entire Saturday slate. LSU-Clemson is really the only good Saturday game for Week 1.

And with Week 0, I agree. If you're going to allow a Week 0, give us at least one good matchup.

Stanford/Hawaii in Week 0 last year was thrilling. Hawaii had an injured QB who couldn’t throw the ball more than 15 yards but he used his wheels to come back and beat Stanford. So I’m down for that rematch

Memphis/UNLV could be fun too

TCU-North Carolina and Virginia-NC St. could both be pretty competitive. I don’t understand why ESPN is airing them both in the afternoon though and nothing in primetime

It wasn’t Week 0. It was the Thursday of Week 1 in ‘07…worked out pretty good for us that year.

Well the B1G outside of OSU killed all that.

The same conference who gets mad SEC teams schedule a weak opponent before their rivalry week have instilled a ne tradition of "why play a challenging opponent" which has no one trying to take risks early in season.

Due to their media continually killing SOS and pushing record regardless of opponent, there are literally no advantages of playing anyone competitive out of conference and it makes no sense whatsoever for a conference to schedule their tougher teams against each other in season.

We just have an absolute idiot in Sankey who continues to give his best teams tougher schedules or he is a plant trying to run the conference down.
