It's the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, which means the full chaos of college football has truly arrived.
No. 1 Georgia got things started with an absolute show of force, blasting No. 14 Clemson 34-3 in their season opener. Heisman favorite Carson Beck was on point throughout the marquee showdown, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
No. 19 Miami handled in-state rival Florida in the afternoon window as new QB Cam Ward threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns in his debut.
Elsewhere, No. 4 Texas and No. 8 Penn State both took care of business. Arch Manning tallied the first touchdowns of his career in cleanup duty as the Longhorns rolled Colorado State and PSU QB Drew Allar looked very comfortable in the Nittany Lions' new offense in a win over West Virginia.

No. 7 Notre Dame at No. 20 Texas A&M
Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Texas A&M -3 | Total: 46.5
Notre Dame doesn’t shy away from tough openers, and this is no exception. Saturday night is QB Riley Leonard’s first game in a Notre Dame uniform after transferring to Duke, but he'll be playing behind a revamped offensive line that lost three starters from 2023. First-year Texas A&M coach Mike Elko brings a defense that has lots of new faces but is still plenty talented. And QB Connor Weigman returns as the Aggies’ starting quarterback with the goal of staying healthy for the whole season.
