Week 1 is in the books and one top 10 team is already 0-2 in conference play. This is why college football is the best reality TV show ever made. This week we have a front loaded slate that still produces plenty of quality deep into the night. Check out our preview below for all the details!
Week 2 Pro Tips:
- Big Noon Kickoff once again robs us of the marquee game not being in primetime. It can make sense in early November for a cold Big 10 game to be at noon, but not in early September. Fox needs to grow a pair and be willing to put their game in primetime when it’s the best of the bunch that week. Until then, their pregame show, announcers, and overall cfb coverage will always be more laughable than adding a squeaky toy to a Brian Kelly presser.
- I know we have Week 1 of the NFL on Sunday, but don’t go to bed early this week! We have a 4th meal of college football tomorrow that will have you entertained past midnight. Go ahead and start planning your Taco Bell door dash order now and pay the extra for direct delivery, because it’s going to be slammed tomorrow!
- College football has so much drama and controversy, but we’re going a little over the top when we attack Ben. Everybody realizes it’s much more of an unnecessary flex from Kirk than anything else, but the dog is a total champ. Find something else to beef about, like uniforms and alleged STDs.
TOS GAME OF THE WEEK
Colorado at Nebraska (-7) 6:30PM CDT NBC
What we like about this game: Ah, Colorado vs. Nebraska, a rivalry that goes way back to when people were still rocking frosted tips and Y2K was an actual concern. Fast forward to 2024, and the drama is juicier than ever. This isn’t just a game; it’s two fan bases that are as loyal to their teams as Oriole Amy is to the Weekend Watch Guide. They really don’t like each other and on Saturday the collision created between these two explosive programs is sure to deliver fireworks. Oh, and balloons.
What we love about this game: The QBs battle in this game is going to be must-see TV. Not necessarily because they’re the best in the nation – although that could be argued – but rather because watching them play is like smoking a cigar with the hiccups. The majority of the time it’s very enjoyable; however, one unexpected, involuntary deep inhale at the wrong time leaves you coughing, gagging and really regretting if it was all worth it. Nonetheless, the build up is palpable, the stadium will be electric, and the effort from the players is going to be next level. Buckle up for a good ol’ fashioned slobber-knocker!
We may not have 5 days in a row this week, but we have over 12 consecutive hours of pure gold ahead of us. We’re looking forward to awesome competition, a few wacky mistakes, and the guaranteed one or two outcomes that look weirder than an Arby’s meatsuit.
