It's the return of college football! I'm so excited it makes me want to spit all over the place.

The week one schedule and announcing assignments are provided for you below. I'll be at College Gameday on Saturday trying to figure out why I'm there and who I should root for. UNC might be without up to 16 of its players, but...yeah, LSU should probably win. For those of you wondering, Pammys will return and a note from your fearless leader emeritus should be posted at some point today explaining where he's taking his talents and why you're stuck with all the random names on the left for the time being.
