Fear not, college football fans: We are just 231 days (only 33 weeks!) from the grand opening of the 2018 season.
The season begins in earnest on Thursday, August 30, with – as of now – five games scheduled (potentially, a few more could be moved for TV). There are three games ln August 31, then – bam – it’s the first Saturday of the season.
While the first weekend of the 2018 season doesn’t quite match up to the greatness that was the first weekend of the 2017 season, there are quite a few marquee matchups – including what might be the best non-conference game of the entire season.
