Verballers, it's here! At long last, the first full weekend of college football, featuring showdowns across the country, starting with Clemson against Georgia and Penn State on the road against West Virginia, shifting to Miami at Florida in the afternoon and hitting a crescendo with Notre Dame's huge road spot against new-look Texas A&M. Plus, USC and LSU in Vegas, Florida State's rebound effort against Boston College, and a plethora of action that'll keep Week 1 interesting for college football fans of all stripes.

We run through the biggest games of the weekend, take a closer look at the most interesting other games in each time slot, and of course, pay homage to our sweet, sweet Patriot League on an episode that feels like we're celebrating a holiday.
