    Not a good week 0 but we have football so I am not complaining.

      Hopefully Navy can give Notre Dame a game like they sometimes do, but I have no idea.

        I liked the old school pureness of week 0 when it was just for teams playing 13 games (only Hawaii and New Mexico State). Now it's evolved into people going to Hawaii but not playing 13, random CUSA conference games for no reason and the annual Ireland game for about as much reason. Has no one any sense of tradition anymore?

          I would watch the USC-San Jose State game, if it wasn't only on PAC-12 Network lol. I see why the PAC-12 is a mess

            Has to be weird watching the Pac-12 Network (for those who can), knowing everyone there is about to be fired/laid off.

            And Navy definitely isn't giving Notre Dame a game, lol.

              It's more weird for the PAC-12 to be as stacked as it has ever been as a whole, all for it to be essentially over with it after it. All while a lot of the games being locked behind the PAC-12 Network lol

                I started watching more games last year after falling off the sport for years. I plan on watching more games than last year and trying to get back onto the sport. While realignment and NIL took away a lot of the traditions and rivalries, I still like CFB because I can watch games and not have any rooting interest. That's the benefit of not having a favorite college team or bandwagoning is that I can watch games just for enjoyment

                  What's tradition? There's money to be made, who cares about the past.

                  It's sad that it's not even done changing yet, hopefully whatever they end up with is still close enough to college football.

                    Pretty meh Week 0.

                    Week 1 probably won't be much better outside of LSU-FSU.

                      Week 0 got the job done for me*. Dublin game got ugly faster than expected, but three or four of the evening games were one possession outcomes that came down to a last minute score or stop.

                      As noted earlier, gotta love when only like 87 people can watch a top ten team and their reigning Heisman winning QB play Week 0 in a prime time slot.

                      *probaby says more about me than anything though…
