College football returns this weekend with a packed slate of games. No. 9 Ole Miss, facing No. 24 Louisville on Sunday (7:30 pm ET, ABC), is the lone ranked matchup, but Week 1 features multiple storied programs clashing (see full schedule).
No. 11 LSU hosting Clemson (7:30 pm ET, ABC) is widely considered Saturday’s marquee game. The Bayou Bengals and new coach Lane Kiffin have drawn scrutiny by attempting to roster players who signed NFL contracts. Those athletes sought another year of college eligibility by challenging NCAA rules—a move opposed by the Southeastern Conference, which is reportedly considering suspending or expelling LSU in response. Sunday’s lineup includes No. 4 Notre Dame playing Wisconsin at Lambeau Field (7:30 pm ET, NBC).
The action follows a brief Week 0 schedule that saw former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick lead North Carolina to a 15-10 victory over TCU in Dublin, Ireland.
