Summary
Week 0 was something else, wasn't it? With a few days to mull over Georgia Tech's upset of Florida State and SMU's comeback over Nevada, we talk through our lingering thoughts from a genuinely entertaining appetizer week of college football action. Then, with a much larger slate of action set to start this weekend, we roll out our "Early Bird Special" segment and make picks for the most intriguing Thursday and Friday games, as North Carolina travels to Minnesota and Colorado hosts North Dakota State. And finally, as is tradition, we touch base with Dan Carlin of Hardcore History fame and get his reflections on being a Colorado fan amid the Deion Sanders whirlwind and the state of his college football fandom in 2024.
