Summary

We've been waiting all offseason for this moment, and Week 1 in finally here! In this college football podcast episode, we take a look at the biggest games that Stakeout Saturday has to offer, from the big Texas-Ohio State and LSU-Clemson games, to Notre Dame's trip to Miami, Alabama's opener at Florida State, the Beamer Bowl between Virginia Tech and South Carolina, Bill Belichick's debut with North Carolina against TCU and more.

Plus, we discuss which teams have the most to prove in Week 1, from with Nebraska's offense to Miami's defense, Florida State's latest transfer haul, and and beyond. We also highlight a handful of the under-the-radar games worth watching, from Mississippi State's portal gamble to Cal starting a true freshman quarterback on the road. And, of course, a full breakdown of your Saturday Window of Opportunity, the most ideal quad for your vieweing pleasure, and a Patriot League Lightning Round with a special plea on behalf of the Mountain Hawks.
