College football Week 0 scores, games, updates: Florida State vs. Georgia Tech and more

The 2024 college football season is here. Sort of.

The season doesn’t officially start until Thursday, August 29, but we don’t have to wait until then to play our first real games of the season. Saturday’s slate includes four games featuring six FBS teams. Here’s a look at what’s on the schedule for the unofficial first weekend of the season.

Noon ET, ESPN: No. 10 Florida State (-10.5) vs. Georgia Tech

We get an ACC game to start things off, as the Seminoles and Yellow Jackets square off in Ireland. This game will be our first chance to see DJ Uiagalelei for Florida State. The former Clemson and Oregon State quarterback is playing his final season of college football in Tallahassee, as the Seminoles attempt to make the College Football Playoff this season after being snubbed a year ago.

8:00 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network: SMU (-24.5) at Nevada

Don’t be surprised if SMU is a contender in its first season in the ACC. QB Preston Stone was one of the more productive passers in the country a season ago and could have a field day against the Wolf Pack. Jeff Choate was hired by Nevada after the team had played two-to-10 seasons in a row. This is a team that has seen a lot of turnover since Jay Norvell left for Colorado State after the 2021 season.
