The kickoff to the college football season is exactly one week away and collegiate programs across the country are all trying to get to Glendale, AZ, site of the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship. There’s a slew of intriguing matchups slated for Week 1 of the college football regular season, including TCU’s visit to Minnesota for a game with the Gophers, Arizona State’s trip to Texas for a matchup with A&M’s Aggies, Texas versus Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Alabama’s meeting at “Jerry World” in Arlington, TX and Ohio State’s mission for revenge against the Hokies in Blacksburg, VA.

With preeminent players like Joey Bosa, Adolphus Washington, Darron Lee, Joshua Perry, Raekwon McMillan, Eli Apple, Vonn Bell and Tyvis Powell returning on defense, the Buckeyes shouldn’t be too shabby on that side of the ball either.
Despite the fact that four key players will be suspended for Ohio State’s opener against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., the Buckeyes are favored to win every game they’ll play in this season. With so much talent returning this season, it will be difficult for anyone to stop Ohio State from repeating as national …show more content…
It will likely take an undefeated regular season to make the 2016 College Football Playoff, but if the Horned Frogs can navigate their way through a difficult schedule without dropping a contest, TCU will be amongst the top four teams vying for a national title. The Horned Frogs have a Heisman Trophy candidate returning at quarterback in Trevone Boykin, and a defense that should be as stout as any in the Big 12. Without the ability to play in a conference championship game, TCU will have to run their regular season schedule to have a chance at a national
