Notre Dame at Texas A&M clashes two fan bases with high expectations every year, while LSU vs. Southern California will see the schools of the last two Heisman trophy winners meet.

Texas at Michigan. Big Noon Kickoff. In the Big House. Two 2023 College Football Playoff teams. There's not a bigger nonconference game on the calendar this year

The night closes with NC State and Tennessee playing in Charlotte and Boise State visiting Oregon. The former sounds like an intense bowl game matchup you'd watch between Christmas and New Year's while the latter figures to bring back memories of Pac-12 After Dark.

New Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer's first major test comes in Week 3 against Wisconsin (however, last year told us not to sleep on USF either when it comes to the Tide). DeBoer and crew will head to Camp Randall Stadium and hope to pick up a statement win. A win for Alabama shows that the program is still up to par after the departure of all-time great coach Nick Saban. A loss for the Tide will bring questions about how far this team can go entering a bye week before playing the Georgia Bulldogs.

A W at Wisconsin isn't a statement W.

Thought the same thing. A loss would be very telling but a win, not so much.
