Memphis football is officially in game week.
The Tigers will face UNLV in Las Vegas on Aug. 29 (9 p.m., FOX). And it's a game that could have College Football Playoff implications.
"There's so many different storylines," UNLV coach Dan Mullen said at his press conference on Aug. 24.
For one, the Tigers and Rebels will play on national television as one of the marquee games during the opening weekend of the season. Both teams are expected to compete near the top of their respective conferences, so it could be a game that gets talked about later in the season when potential playoff resumes are being compared.
"You won't feel it maybe after this game, but there's going to be a lot of discussion about this game as the season goes on," Mullen said. "Especially late into November. It can have a lot of implications on who's where for the playoff race."
