Why it matters
College football is a major driver of sports media engagement and the growing sports betting industry in the United States.
While the 2026 college football season got a hearty appetizer with Week 0, the main course will be served with the Week 1 college football schedule. There are 90 games involving FBS teams on the slate, with several intriguing non-conference matchups. Lane Kiffin makes his LSU debut versus Clemson on Saturday, which has the Tigers of Baton Rouge as 10-point home favorites per the latest Week 1 college football odds. Then on Sunday, the only ranked contest of the weekend occurs with Kiffin's former squad in No. 9 Ole Miss vs. No. 24 Louisville (+6.5).
