Interesting, Philly. Tell more about your acronyms.

You're saying ALL Home Favs in week One?

What is the qualifier that makes you list the teams above?

Will see what Philly says about the qualifier. Most of those games look like mis-matches vs Mid-Major opponents.

Opti, one bit of history on this. BIG CollFB Favs used to be overpriced. Think Favs 40+.

Some of that had to do with the old-school coaches not wanting to run up the score vs an overmatched opponent. I don't see that as much now. When the backups get in the game, they want a chance to showcase their skills.

And the oddsmaker wised up. They won't bloat a line, unless they have to.

Philly you should organize a strictly c fb . Maybe 10 games. I would be interested. We have 5 people that been doing it for a decade but 2 died this year so contest is out.

Are you saying two posters have died?

I see way more home favs playing FBS teams than the ones you listed.

OP's definition of week 1? Is there a week zero?

Serious question... Some people refer to a week with 10-15 games as week zero.. Some combine first 2 weeks as week 1.... And of coursescheduling protocol can change over time on week zero

This vernacular is actually an issue for guys that actively bet Football. The answer really is:

*Line up the Week names to the NFL schedule.

NFL is king. NFL Week One = week one for Coll FB, too. If there are College games played the week prior, that's Week Zero.

That's dumb. There are not one, but two weeks of college football before NFL starts. There is the shortened card in late August (week zero) and then the first full card (week one) in the first week of September. It's not complicated at all. College is always one week ahead of the NFL in terms of week number.
