Ten Days and Counting

/

Ten days from now, the first football games of the 2017 College Football season will be played and televised.  Though it is considered Week 0, there are definately some games worthy of watching - particularly if you like FCS play.  The first official game of the season is Florida A&M vs. Texas Southern, which starts at 12:00 on ESPNU.  Five other games to watch over the weekend:

  • Colorado State will be opening their beautiful new stadium on campus against Oregon State at 2:30 on CBSSN
  • #12 Chattanooga will take on #6 Jacksonville State in what I believe will be the 40th meeting between these two FCS teams
  • Perennial Patriot League contender Colgate will fly across country to visit #23 Cal Poly for the first time
  • Stanford will play Rice in Sydney, Australia on Saturday night at 10:00 on ESPN
  • And last but not least, #7 Richmond will travel to Texas for a date with #3 Sam Houston State in the only Sunday game (7:00 pm on ESPNU)

Not a bad lineup for the first Saturday of games...
