What the FBS schedule in Week 0 lacked in quantity it more than made up for in quality.
With just four games on the docket, there was a game-winning field goal as time expired to complete a top-10 upset as well as a pair of double-digit fourth-quarter comebacks.
But as the calendar heads toward Labor Day weekend, it only means a Week 1 schedule filled with games every day from Thursday through Monday — the perfect entrée to follow appetizers of the 2024 college football season.
When Are the College Football Games in Week 1?
The highlight matchup of the weekend includes a border rivalry between AP top-15 schools separated by a mere 70 miles from one another. It also happens to be a battle of the only active FBS head coaches with multiple national titles on their résumé going head-to-head when Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs face Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
That isn’t the only regional rivalry with College Football Playoff implications at stake in Week 1; No. 19 Miami (FL) and Florida will play in a showdown of Sunshine State squads. So too will No. 8 Penn State and West Virginia, who will author yet another edition of the Backyard Brawl.
