Believe it or not folks, there’s some football coming to a stadium, television, or streaming device near you this weekend. That’s right, Week 0 is almost upon us and we’ve even got a couple of Big Ten games to watch.

It should be another entertaining slate of games in the heartland with what’s sure to be some surprises, exhilarating games, and hopefully, a run or two to the College Football Playoff by a couple of conference squads.
