We’ve almost made it.
In less than one week, college football will be back on our television screens. For the most part, teams will be playing in front of capacity crowds for the first time since the 2019 season. It’s going to be a wonderful sight.
Five games are scheduled to start the college football season on Saturday, Aug. 28, the date dubbed as “Week 0.” A B1G matchup starts the day at 1 p.m. ET, with Nebraska traveling to Champaign to play Illinois.
