The Thursday night games were certainly interesting.
Colorado and North Dakota State was fun, North Carolina and Minnesota was a thriller, and ... oh, who are we kidding.
It was a bunch of FBS over FCS wipeouts with 18 matchups other than the Buffs and Bison decided by double-digits.
Friday has a few big-name programs playing, but there are just five games before this all cranks up with a huge Week 1 to get it all going for real.
Below is the schedule for each conference along with the game previews, lines, and how to watch each one.
