College football season is officially back on Saturday with five games featuring FBS programs, and we highlight all of the action with our college football Week 0 predictions and odds.

From an AP Top 25 edition of Farmaggedon in Dublin, Ireland, to the other side of the world (about 7,000 miles away), where Andrew Luck's Stanford takes on Hawaii in Honolulu, with pit stops in Las Vegas, Kansas, and Kentucky along the way, this Saturday kicks off the college football national championship odds race.

While there are no Heisman Trophy odds contenders poised to take the field this weekend, it's the appetizer for a loaded Week 1 featuring a plethora of teams in the College Football Playoff odds hunt.
