From FBS Schedules.
Week 1 of the 2016 college football season features 86 games with all but one of the 128 FBS programs in action.
Spanning across Labor Day weekend before the NFL kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 8, the collegians are set to play 16 games this Thursday, 11 on Friday, 57 on Saturday, one on Sunday, and one on Monday.
46 of the 86 games (53%) feature an FBS team squaring off with an FCS opponent. That leaves just 40 Week 1 contests pitting an FBS program against another FBS team.
Only 14 games are slated between Power Five programs, only two (South Carolina-Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech-Boston College) are conference games.
Take a look at a handful of vital stats related to this week’s schedule. All are unique to Week 1 matchups and all are limited to FBS vs. FBS action.
OFF THIS WEEK
Marshall, the only program scheduled to play 12-consecutive games in 2016.
RANKED vs. RANKED (4)
(3) Oklahoma vs. (15) Houston (at NRG Stadium)
(18) Georgia vs. (22) North Carolina (at Atlanta, GA)
(20) USC vs. (1) Alabama (at Arlington, TX)
(11) Ole Miss vs. No. 4 Florida State (at Orlando, FL)...
