Thursday College Football Schedule and Open Thread

While I have my occasional beefs of college football’s opening weekend — hello, neutral-site games — the thing that college football unironically gets right is five straight days of college football.

(Oh, sure. They could probably do more with Sunday and Monday than they do, though CBS putting two early games on the Sunday schedule this year is fun instead of just making everyone wait until Sunday night.)

Anyway! Three future Vanderbilt opponents play tonight, though two of them are playing FCS teams.
