Welcome back, college football fans, last week gave us a nice little taste of what 2024 could be like. Close games, comebacks, unexpected wins, all to drive towards a new post-season, at least for the FBS. But that is 3 beautifully filled with football months away, and we need to focus on the here and now.
…..
The thing I love even more about week 1 is the fun goes on for a long time. It’s the NFL’s off week between pre-season and kickoff so colleges play from Thursday through Labor Day. OK, so there are a lot of games in which an FBS team gets the kinks out with an FCS opponent (reminder Montana St beat New Mexico last week), and there are some FCS teams trying to get a win against non-D1 opponents. But there are key matchups like Minnesota hosting North Carolina on Thursday or my Pre-Saturday Game to Watch: Coastal Carolina at Jacksonville St – two G5 powerhouses facing a major challenge to start the season. On Saturday we will learn a great deal about two potential conference champions Georgia and Clemson in Atlanta or two others like Penn St at West Virginia in my early Saturday game of the week.
…..
How about mid-afternoon when Miami FL invades Florida for bragging rights, or the overall game of the week at 7:30 (all times Eastern) Notre Dame at Texas A&M. Why this game? One or both of these teams is likely to be overrated (based on recent history) and this game will tell us how long of a season these two teams will have. And then there’s the Sunday games with LSU and Southern Cal in Las Vegas along with Alabama St and NC Central. The finale is Boston College at Florida St where the Seminoles will try to rebound from the Dublin loss to Georgia Tech.
…..
Normally, the GCR rankings, aka G’s Evaluation, comes out Sunday morning, but this time it will come out Monday night after the final game. Because only 14 teams have played a game and none of them play each other this week, the GCR has no published rankings or predictions. In the table below, I sort the teams by conference (alphabetically) starting with the Core 4 (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC), followed by the Group of 5 (American through Sun Belt), then closing with the FCS (Big Sky through United Athletic). If, for example, a Big Ten team played an ACC team, the game will be listed in the ACC section regardless of home team; however, in the Big Ten section, the team will be listed under OOC (out of conference) with a reference to where to find the game. In other words, the game is listed at the first opportunity. Teams that are idle (precious few this week other than the Ivy League which doesn’t start their season until September 21), are listed within their conference. No team is left behind. Enjoy the games and we’ll meet back on Monday. Thank you for reading and sharing with others, G
