College football is officially back!
Week One of the NCAA football season is usually a slow and uneventful week with not too many big games, but that has changed this year. Our own KVB recently discussed the five must-see games on the Week 1 slate.
There are plenty of great games to watch this week, even games pitting two ranked teams as KVB discussed.
So settle down, relax, and get ready for the first, great weekend of college football.
As always, we begin with some of the marquee games to pay attention to this week and then the entire rundown of the college football TV schedule and point spreads for Week 1
