College football starts today!

While a college football Thursday isn’t the same as a college football Saturday, I’m still excited about today. College football is an extremely fun sport to follow, even without a playoff system, and the wait for the season to begin is finally over.

No huge games today, unless Mississippi State can keep it close against LSU (5 p.m., ESPN). It isn’t likely, but it could happen.

A lot of big names play today, but unfortunately, not against each other. Your full schedule:

Tulsa at Louisiana-Monroe, 4 p.m. (ESPN2)
Buffalo at #16 Rutgers, 4 p.m.
Miami (OH) at Ball State, 4 p.m.
SE Missouri State at Cincinnati, 4 p.m.
Murray State at #11 Louisville, 4:30 p.m. (ESPNU)
#2 LSU at Mississippi State, 5 p.m. (ESPN)
Kent State at Iowa State, 5 p.m.
UNLV at Utah State, 5 p.m.
SE Louisiana at New Mexico State, 5 p.m.
Weber State at #24 Boise State, 6 p.m.
Utah at Oregon State, 7 p.m.

I’ll have a look at Friday and Saturday’s games later on.
