Friday Night College Football Schedule and Open Thread
Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports Night 2 of the five-day college football opening weekend extravaganza. It’s the sacred night for high school football in most of the country, so that means the schedule is pretty light — there are no NAIA games tonight.
Still, this schedule is interesting for... other reasons.
5:00 PM CT: North Carolina at Virginia Tech (ESPN)
I always like Week 1 conference games. Coaches hate them, of course, but if I have my choice between a conference game, a bland neutral-site game, or a buy game, I’m definitely picking the conference game. Anyway, Virginia Tech is either going to fire Justin Fuente this year or they’re going to be good. North Carolina is ranked in the top 10.
