Among college football's most fascinating lists—and that's saying something—is its register of games played outside the United States. Take a gander at this Wikipedia page and behold the time Villanova beat Rhode Island in Milan, or the trio of small-school games played in Bermuda, or the one-off exhibition Drake won in Tanzania.
Dublin is a more familiar locale to college football fans; this is the 11th regular-season game staged there. However, weird things happen when you give two large groups of American 18-to-21-year-olds mutually exclusive tasks in a foreign country. Ask Florida State last year. Ask Nebraska in 2022.
