Saturdays Feed My Soul

If Week 0 served up some interesting starters for the college football season, Week 1 by comparison felt like a five-course tasting menu. It seemed as if college football fans, starved by months of inactivity, were suddenly tucking into a mouth-watering array of matchups.

This coming weekend sees the season kick off in earnest, with some mouthwatering fixtures to look forward to. In the pick of Week 1, AP Preseason No.1 Texas travels to Columbus to take on the defending champions Ohio State in the game of the weekend. LSU, buoyed by the return of quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, travel to what coach Brian Kelly mischievously referred to as "Death Valley Jr.", home of the much-improved Clemson Tigers.

The first quarter-finals of the revamped College Football Playoff lived up to the billing.

This weekend, the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies will meet at Kyle Field in a long overdue chapter of a 130-year old rivalry.
