The long wait is over as the 2024 college football season begins with the Week 0 college football schedule on Saturday, Aug. 24. It might be a much smaller slate than a normal week, but a pair of familiar foes square off when Georgia Tech takes on Florida State at noon ET. The Seminoles are coming off an undefeated regular season and they’ll enter the first matchup of the year as 11.5-point favorites according to the Week 0 college football odds. Should you back FSU to cover the spread in a game set to be played in Dublin, Ireland?
There are three other games on the slate as well, so there are multiple Week 0 college football lines to choose from. SMU travels to take on Nevada on CBS Sports Network at 8 p.m. ET and the Mustangs are massive 27.5-point favorites.
