Goodbye, offseason. Hello, college football.

While most FBS programs will begin the 2021 campaign on Labor Day Weekend, the final Saturday in August—affectionately known as Week 0—includes five games.

The slate features UCLA, a couple of top Mountain West contenders and one Big Ten matchup. Although neither Nebraska nor Illinois is considered a Big Ten threat, it's nonetheless an important game for head coaches Scott Frost and Bret Bielema.

"BERT" is back, baby!

Since no ranked teams are in action this weekend, the Week 0 games are ordered based on kickoff time.
