College football starts this week, watch more games with new short-term passes by Sling
The first week of NCAA Football is back as Week 0 kicks things off to give fans an appetizer for what's to come this season.
Five games will be played on Saturday, August 23, including a ranked matchup between No. 22 Iowa State and No. 17 Kansas State, which is set to be played in Dublin, Ireland.
That all culminates with the main course of Week 1, which begins on Thursday, August 28 and runs through Monday, September 1.
