The 2024 college football season is finally here.
After a long offseason, sports will return with a flourish on Saturday, kicking off the season with four games against FBS opponents in “Week Zero.” The opening week of the season will be highlighted by the Aer Lingus College Football Classic, which will take place at noon ET in Dublin, Ireland, between the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Week 0 will undoubtedly provide college football fans with a glimpse of what’s to come, while the rest of the sports resume over Labor Day weekend.
After eight months of off-field drama, litigation over realignment and much more, the stage is set for one of the most memorable seasons in college football history.
