College football is officially back, baby!

Week 0 kicks off Saturday, and five games are taking place. No, there aren’t any SEC games. Tennessee kicks off the SEC’s season Thursday night against Bowling Green.

The Week 0 headliner is in the Big Ten, as embattled Nebraska travels to Illinois for a 1:20 p.m. ET kickoff on FOX. Controversy currently surrounds the Cornhuskers. Head coach Scott Frost has vastly underperformed since he was hired and the program is under NCAA investigation. It will also be Bret Bielema’s debut as head coach of the Illini. Bielema, the former Wisconsin and Arkansas head coach, has landed back in the Big Ten after an NFL stint.

The second biggest game comes out west, as the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors travel to the UCLA Bruins. Chip Kelly is 10-21 since he took over the Bruins.
