Huge football weekend across the board with college football getting into full swing, with some conference matchups already on the schedule. The Canadian Football League enters Week 16, as we’re barreling toward the postseason. And the NFL is getting ready to kick off Week 3 of its season as well.
Going back to the college football front for a second, although we are in Week 4, not all programs have kicked off their 2024 campaign. This week, the Ivy League joins the party as they begin their football season. The Ancient Eight, always loaded with talent, is ready to begin yet another competitive season that’ll see the Ivy crown come down to the final week of the year.
In the Ivy League you get some outstanding coaching and development, which is why you tend to see more prospects from the league either finding their way getting drafted or getting poached by FBS programs. As I’ve always said, the Ivy League is one of the more underrated football conferences in the sport.
Also happening this weekend is the European League of Football championship game. This year we get a great matchup between the Rhein Fire and Vienna Vikings, the two best teams in the ELF. Interesting storyline in this one is that the Fire are coached by Jim Tomsula, who is looking to win back-to-back titles, went a perfect 12-0 last season, and enters this game with an 11-1 mark on the season.
This year, the Vienna Vikings are the undefeated team at 12-0 who are looking to capture their second title in the ELF under coach Chris Calaycay, who is one of the best coaches in the game.
