Zero. Zilch. Nada.
That’s how many weekends there are until college football is back in our collective lives.
The 2022 season kicks off Saturday morning, and the full Week 0 slate for FBS programs includes 11 games.
Here’s a rundown.
The big one: Nebraska vs. Northwestern (in Dublin, Ireland)
The two schools are both coming off dismal 3-9 records, and Nebraska’s Scott Frost is a popular pick to be on the hot seat this season.
Still, this is the only matchup between two Power Five schools this weekend, and it just so happens to be two Big Ten programs facing off in a neutral-site matchup in Ireland — the first regular-season international game in five years.
The Utah one: UConn at Utah State
The Aggies are coming off their first Mountain West Conference championship season in program history and will be decided favorites against the Huskies.
For Utah State, this game provides an easy way to slide into the season for the year’s biggest test: traveling to SEC country to face top-ranked Alabama next week.
The sneaky fun one: Vanderbilt at Hawaii
This is a long way for an SEC team to travel to for its opening game.
Hawaii legend Timmy Chang — the star quarterback from the early 2000s — is also making his coaching debut for the Rainbow Warriors after replacing Todd Graham.
