After a long offseason with no meaningful games to speak of — sans Week 0 and some early Week 1 competition — college football is well and truly back for the 2024 season.
That leads up to an impressive Week 1 schedule on Saturday, headlined by a couple of top-25 matchups between No. 1 Georgia and No. 14 Clemson, as well as this week's "College GameDay" headliner between No. 20 Texas A&M and No. 7 Notre Dame.

There's Sherrone Moore-led Michigan, the No. 8 team in the country, taking on Fresno State in the first game after Jim Harbaugh left for the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers, which occurred after the Wolverines' controversial College Football Playoff championship last season.
Then there's Kalen DeBoer, who will lead No. 5 Alabama in its first game without Nick Saban on the sidelines (something that hasn't occurred since the 2006 college football season). And those are only a few of the matchups and storylines in play for Saturday's Week 1 games.
Here's everything you need to know for Saturday, including schedules, scores and more:
