The college football season is officially here. With Week Zero and a handful of games already out of the way this week, it’s officially time for Week 1 to kick off, and fortunately for football fans, the day’s early slate is a doozy. The headliner is the reigning champion No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide heading to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where they will go up against Heisman Trophy contender D’Eriq King and the 14th-ranked Miami Hurricanes. Additionally, a pair of ranked Big Ten tilts — the No. 19 Penn State vs. No. 12 Wisconsin and No. 17 Indiana vs. No. 18 Iowa — will give us raucous on-campus environments from the jump.
