After the apéritif that was Week 0 of college football, this Saturday marks the true opening weekend of collegiate pigskin. Opening weekend traditionally involves a bunch of in-state rivalries, so that means several match-ups like Washington-Eastern Washington, North Carolina-South Carolina and Northern Iowa-Iowa State. Those aren’t always the most compelling games, but it can lead to some unexpected upsets and gives smaller-school prospects a chance to shine against their bigger competition.
As always, let’s talk about the games, leave questions on prospects, and enjoy the weekend!
