College Football Week 0 Scores, Matchups and Updates: Florida State vs. Georgia Tech and More

The 2024 college football season is here. Sort of.

The season doesn’t officially kick off until Thursday, August 29, but we won’t have to wait until then to see our first real games of the season. Saturday’s schedule includes four games involving six FBS teams. Here’s a look at what’s in store for the unofficial first weekend of the season.

Noon ET, ESPN: No. 10 Florida State (-10.5) vs. Georgia Tech

We’ll have an ACC game to kick things off as the Seminoles and Yellow Jackets face off in Ireland. This game is our first chance to see DJ Uiagalelei at Florida State. The former Clemson and Oregon State quarterback is playing his final season of college football in Tallahassee as the Seminoles look to qualify for the College Football Playoff this season after being snubbed a year ago.

8:00 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network: SMU (-24.5) at Nevada

Don’t be surprised if SMU is a contender in its first season in the ACC. QB Preston Stone was one of the most productive passers in the country a season ago and could have a field day against the Wolf Pack. Jeff Choate was hired at Nevada after the team had two straight 2-10 seasons. This is a team that has seen a lot of turnover since Jay Norvell left for Colorado State after the 2021 season.
