We had a wonderful appetizer last weekend in which the only semi-surprising result was Jacksonville St over New Mexico St for the Gamecocks first ever FBS victory. Playing an FCS school this week, they could start 2-0 before September really even gets going. Notre Dame, Southern Cal, and Vandy kept the Power 5 conferences 3-0, and are currently the top 3 in the GCR rankings (all of the 20 teams that played last week are currently in the top 20, with everyone else tied for 21st at 0-0). But it’s time for the main event. Of the 261 schools, only the Ivy League (which doesn’t start their traditional 10-game schedule until week 3) and Navy (who lost badly to Notre Dame in week 0) are on a bye week. 133 games for the 252 participants this week from Thursday through Labor Day. Typical of week 1, we see a number of mismatches, but there are some key games to watch.
…..
This week’s games have more curiosity to them than anything else. I’m curious to see if Colorado is improved with a flashy new head coach and some additional talent he brought there in the off-season. Can they compete with TCU? Second, is Florida St really, for sure this time, turned the corner to compete on the national stage? Is LSU going to play up to their hype as well? The winner has the downhill track while the loser will have some explaining to do. Is Nebraska going to raise the roof in Minnesota and finally get back to a bowl game this year? The game this week won’t be the decider, but it will make the path easier or more difficult. In the FCS, will North Dakota St continue its mastery of all teams not South Dakota St (and sometimes them too) or can E Washington stun the perennial championship threat? In general, is it better for a Power 5 team to start the season against another Power 5 team and risk staring 0-1 vs playing the “cupcake” game and getting it out of the way (of course, there will be “cupcake” upsets every year). For example, can Coastal Carolina put a loss on UCLA late Saturday night? Will an FCS team beat an FBS team in week 1 this year? Stranger things have happened. I would love to get into predictions and more information, but there are no games between teams that played last week, so the GCR still can’t predict what will happen. Next week will be different. This week, pull for your team and watch as much football as possible (no pros this week, so college has the spotlight).
…..
Below I’ve listed every game. A couple of things that will help find your team in the matrix. The first sort is Power 5 conferences, then Group of 5, then FCS. The conferences within each league are in alphabetical order. Notre Dame is listed with the FBS Independents which are in the Group of 5 section. Within the conference, all games are listed in time order. Games are assumed to be on Saturday unless otherwise stated. All times are Eastern and p.m., unless otherwise noted. Each team for that conference is listed either as a game with additional information or as an OOC (out of conference) game if their opponent’s conference came first. If your team is listed in the conference OOC column, I’ve noted the opponent and the conference for easy reference. BYE weeks are also listed at the end of each conference entry. NL indicates no Vegas line (any game involving an FCS school). NP, for all games this week, indicates the GCR can’t predict who will win and/or cover the Vegas spread. N/A indicates a team not in the FBS or FCS (these teams will always be playing FCS schools – think of them as the FCS equivalent of an FBS team playing an FCS school. These games will never have Vegas lines or predictions. If a game is played at a neutral location (8 this week), the word Neutral will appear with the team names. I truly don’t expect anyone to actually read this entire table, but I do want to make sure you can find your team easily.
