Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Ohio State Buckeyes
- When: Saturday, Sep. 3
Both the Irish’s and the Buckeyes’ fortunes could be decided early on Sep. 3. Ohio State will be a huge favorite, but the Buckeyes, like they do every off season, lost plenty of talent.
Will Notre Dame pull off the biggest upset of the year in their first game?
Georgia Bulldogs vs Oregon Ducks
- When: Saturday, Sep. 3
Georgia won the National Championship by leaning on an incredible defense. But five starters from the defense went in the first round of last April’s NFL Draft. So how will Georgia play against one of the better teams in the Pac-12?
This game could go a long way in determining the Dawgs’ chances to repeat as National Champions. The Oregon Ducks could show they will be a force in the Pac-12.
Ohio State Buckeyes vs Wisconsin Badgers
- When: Saturday, Sep. 24
Wisconsin hopes for a bounce back season. Ohio State wants to leap to the top of the Big Ten. Buckeyes versus Badgers is always a high-stakes game.

Alabama believes it’s the SEC’s best. Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M has recruited as well as Nick Saban at Bama, though. So which team prevails in the deep SEC West division? Circle Crimson Tide versus Aggies for sure.
Texas Longhorns vs Oklahoma Sooners
- When: Saturday, Oct. 8
The Red River Rivalry is always high-stakes. It’s especially high-stakes this season because more than a few college football experts believe the Longhorns overtake the Sooners as the Big 12’s best program in 2022.

Alabama Crimson Tide at LSU Tigers

Michigan versus Ohio State. Enough said, right? No, really. Enough said, right?
USC Trojans vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish
