The State of College Football: Week 0

What time is it? Game time! College football has made it's return and all is right in the world - well maybe not, but there is college football again!

Notre Dame and Navy officially kicked off the 2023 college football season from Dublin on Saturday and I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a college football season. The smell of fresh cut grass, or burning field turf that’s a million degrees, and the August heat just get me going and now we have real games on TV again. We can put away the discussions of realignment for now and just focus on this season - which should be a great one. Can Georgia win three in a row? Can Caleb Williams do the unthinkable and repeat as the Heisman winner? Will Michigan play for a National Championship? Are Texas and Florida State back? Be still, my beating heart.

This week we’ll kick things off (pun intended) with a look at the preseason top 25, bold predictions, award predictions, breakout players, final thoughts and games to watch. And as always you can ask your questions by using #AskMelloAnything or @mello on Twitter (X??). Enjoy!
