Find your preferred games on this beautiful first Saturday of the college football season.
Games get started at noon ET, and run all day until that 11 p.m. ET kick at Arkansas State vs. USC. The headliner is probably Louisville and No. 6 Auburn from the Georgia Dome, but don’t overlook a host of other games through the day and evening. No. 13 UCLA hosts Virginia and No. 25 Tennessee hosts Bowling Green in the afternoon window, and No. 15 Arizona State plays Texas A&M in the evening slot before No. 20 Wisconsin and No. 3 Alabama. Let’s also not forget about the Vernon Adams Bowl at 8 p.m. ET, as No. 7 Oregon hosts Eastern Washington.

That’s pretty.
Three big things to know
1. The debut of the Jeremy Johnson show. The 6'5, 240-pound junior is the latest quarterback for Auburn, and expectations are high. He played in spots last year, but with Nick Marshall gone, the keys to the car are firmly in Johnson's hands. If he can live up to the hype, Auburn could be a Playoff team. They have a tough matchup in Louisville, though, and it's certainly possible that this much ballyhooed season could get derailed before it leaves the station.
2. Strap in for Texas A&M and Arizona State. If you like points, and points in bunches, this is the game for you. The Sun Devils are getting a lot of preseason run as Pac-12 contenders, but they have to travel to Houston for a virtual home game for Texas A&M.
3. WE WANT BAMA. The showdown between Wisconsin and Alabama in Dallas is being marketed as the big non-conference matchup of the first week, but we’ve seen big non-conference games featuring Alabama turn into laughers early. Hopefully Wisconsin can keep this competitive.
