College Football Week 0

College Football Week Zero

Yes, we have college football this weekend. No great matchups but a few big name teams in action. The bigger news is the off field stuff.


This offseason has been Nuts.




NFL players going back to college? Court ruled,yes, but then the Big 10 said they would not accept them. Of course, it's Lane Kiffin and LSU that is planning to bring in some of these NFL rejects. The SEC then followed the Big 10's lead and also plans to ban these players. Now more lawyers are planning to sue, so who knows what will ultimately happen.


I believe this is the last Week Zero. Next year, all teams will start on the same weekend.


Rule Changes for this year

Helmet radios are now legal for all divisions.

Each team is allowed 2 sponsor patches (I assume other than the jersey maker logo) on their jersey. Yay, more advertising.

Targeting - if a player gets a targeting call in the 2nd half, they are no longer suspended for the first half of the next game. But if they get a 2nd targeting foul within the season, it will carry over to the next game.

Offensive Pass Interference penalty is now 10 yards instead of 15

Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Automatic calls for any sort of gun gesture, throat slash, or nose wipe. Taking off helmet unless in TO. After the whistle actions like shoving or pulling guys off a plie.

Extra Replay Challenge - each coach gets 2 put if you are right on both, you get a 3rd and you must call a Timeout to challenge and you get it back if successful.


Now for the games

Saturday Aug 29

North Carolina vs TCU 12:00 ESPN TCU -8.5 from Dublin Ireland
Belichick had a rocky season last year. Will he start to turn it around or will it be another **** show?


San Joes State at 14 USC 3:00 NBC USC -38.5
USC is a darkhorse contender for some. Qb Jayden Maiava is a Heisman candidate. They have to replace defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn who returned to his alma mater Penn State. Lincoln Riley has to be on the hotseat if USC isn't a serious playoff contender.


NC State @ Virginia 3:30 ESPN UVA -4


Jacksonville State @ North Dakota State 5:30 CBSSN NDSU -6.5


Sacramento State @ Eastern Michigan 6:30 ESPN+ EMU -9.5

Hawaii at Stanford 7:00 ACCN Stan -4
yearly reminder Stanford is in the ACC now


New Mexico State at Florida State 7:00 CW Network FSU -31.5
FSU has had some disastrous early loses recently. They need to curb stomp NMSU or people will be very nervous

Can't believe Florida State is favored by 31+ points over anybody.

Memphis at UNLV 10:00 FOX UNLV -4.5
UNLV is in the hunt for the G5 playoff spot

It's back to the Group of 6 this year...the Pac-12 has been reconstituted with a total of 8 football teams (Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, and Texas State), with 9 for basketball (Gonzaga).

Nose wipe is when they drag a finger under their nose. NFL banned it last year because it's a gang sign.
