After an extended offseason without any significant games—excluding Week 0 and a few early contests—college football has officially returned for the 2024 season.

Saturday features an exciting Week 1 lineup, highlighted by key top-25 clashes such as No. 1 Georgia facing No. 14 Clemson and the “College GameDay” matchup between No. 20 Texas A&M and No. 7 Notre Dame.

Additionally, there are several intriguing matchups featuring teams with new head coaches. For instance, No. 8 Michigan, now led by Sherrone Moore after Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers, will play against Fresno State following a contentious College Football Playoff championship last season.

Kalen DeBoer will also be making his debut as head coach for No. 5 Alabama, which will be without the long-time leadership of Nick Saban for the first time since the 2006 season. These are just a few of the compelling narratives surrounding Saturday’s games.
