It’s been a long and eventful spring and summer, and now the 2024 college football season is finally upon us. The battle for a spot in the brand new 12-team College Football Playoff begins in just a few days and won’t slow down until a champion is crowned next January. Last season’s National Championship game saw Michigan knock off Washington to claim its first national title in 27 years. With a whole host of teams add ed to the playing field in this new playoff format, who will reach the pinnacle of the sport this season? It’s almost time to find out.
With the offseason chaos behind us and our extensive college football previews for every conference available for your reading pleasure, it’s time to get into the Week 0 slate with the return of my weekly best bets column. Much like the year prior, the 2023 season was very profitable for this column, as I finished with a win rate over 62%, highlighted by a 9-2 run to close out bowl season and the College Football Playoff. Hopefully you cashed with me!
As with most Week 0 slates in recent years, this isn’t the most exciting platter of games on paper, but there are some good value bets of which we can take advantage. At the very least, it will whet the appetite before next week’s massive slate of games. Let’s take a look at our best bets for Week 0 as the college football season gets underway.
