About College Football’s “Week 0”
Though the majority of teams don’t kick off until next weekend, Week 0 is the official start to the college football season, where a handful of schools get the chance to shine before the the slate fills up next week. This year, it gives a couple of teams the chance to travel for a game without having to worry about playing next week as Nebraska and Northwestern will face off in a Big Ten tilt in Dublin, Ireland. Week 0 is also another week for college football to shine without the pros cluttering up the weekend, as the NFL doesn’t start until Sept. 11.
In short, it’s college football a week early. Don’t overthink it, just get your snacks and drinks ready to veg out for 10 hours.
