College football returns next week. B1G fans will have to wait a few extra days until a conference team kicks off, but two games should tide us over until the conference gets back on the field.

Miami-Florida and Arizona-Hawaii will take center stage next Saturday, beginning the 2019 college football season. On Monday, the first Associated Press poll will be released.

Before that, though, why not take a look at the ESPN Football Power Index (FPI) top 25?
