In just a few hours, SEC football is set to return as the (official) start of the 2018 college football season is set to begin Thursday night. Of course, SEC football gets its start from College Station, as the Aggies host Northwestern State to set things going out of the SEC.
That game should be a laugher and while the league slate lacks many primetime games, there are a few solid matchups on the horizon to get things going for Week 1 of the season.
