Notable games from the first few weeks:

There are several rather intriguing games in the first week of college football. Miami and Florida (technically in week zero, according to the Podcast Ain’t Played Nobody folks) should be rather intriguing as Manny Diaz faces his former mentor in Dan Mullen. Diaz’s first game as the head coach of Miami (not Temple) will be interesting as he takes on a program rising to national prominence.

And then, technically a week later, in Arlington, the Oregon Ducks and the Auburn Tigers will play a rematch of the 2011 national title game. Gus Malzahn won’t have Cam Newton in this game (or even Jarrett Stidham for that matter) and he’ll have to find a way to outscore Justin Herbert, who could be one of the best quarterbacks in the country in 2019.
