Kickoff Week is here. Arguably the greatest opening weekend in college football history is kicking off in just three days. Theres no shortage of fascinating games and individual matchups on tap. So weve brought our experts together again to break it all down.Which Kickoff Week game are you most looking forward to?Heather Dinich: Oklahoma vs. Houston (Noon ET, ABC) This is the only game featuring two ranked teams that could eliminate one of them from the playoff. Houston probably has to go undefeated just to have a chance at a top-four ranking, and if it loses to OU, the entire Group of 5 loses along with the Cougars. OU can still recover from a loss -- if it wins the Big 12 -- but the Sooners certainly dont want to start in a hole.Chris Low: Ole Miss vs. Florida State (Monday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN) Well have to wait until Labor Day night, but the Florida State-Ole Miss game is filled with compelling storylines. How does Ole Miss respond to a turbulent offseason? Can Chad Kelly and the No. 11 Rebels pick up where they left off last season? And is FSU as good as the No. 4 Seminoles appear to be on paper? Its an ACC vs. SEC clash that could set the early tone for the College Football Playoff chase. Custom Jerseys Wholesale .
