College Football Week 1 Picks, DFS & Podcast: Georgia-Clemson, Miami-Florida, Penn State-West Virginia, Notre Dame-Texas A&M and more

Did you miss it?

I’m sure last weekend’s result may skew your answer to that. But I know deep down in that Guiness-filled, jet-lagged gut of yours, the answer to that question is still yes.

I know I sure did. Seven months of trying to connect the dots of where people are playing, who’s coaching where and what conference all these teams are in. We did preview pods on Sharpen the Point for each of them — and there’s still time for you to check them all out on the podcast feed! But the reality is none of it matters when the games are played.

If you’re new to the program, I provide 10 games for us to watch this weekend that I think are the most impactful.

It’s pageantry and passion you don’t see anywhere else in sports in this country. And win or fly across the pond to lose, we all share it this time of year... no matter how much everything has changed.
