For the first time since mid-January, college football will be played on Saturday.
The Week 0 slate is headlined by North Carolina and TCU traveling to Dublin for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. It's the second consecutive season the Tar Heels and Horned Frogs will open the season against each other.

The Dublin game isn't the only notable storyline in Week 0, as two former Division I FCS teams — North Dakota State and Sacramento State — are set to make their debuts at the Division I FBS level (albeit not against each other).
The Bison, previously of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, proved to be a powerhouse at the FCS level, winning five national championships in the last nine seasons. NDSU holds a 26-3 overall record entering its third season under coach Tim Polasek.
