Dolphins vs Panthers recap

[BigDaddyFin]

because in college sports it's rarely an official game.  There will be 6 or 8 teams on one or two fields and they'll take turns round robin style for x number of plays each.

You won’t see Michigan vs Ohio week 1.  You might see Patriots vs Dolphins.

I thought this was true, too, but it's actually not and is a misconception, perhaps of days gone by.  I made this same point elsewhere and was called out on it.  There's just as much big play in week 1 as any other.  It's totally up to schools and there are huge matchups in week 1.

This year, Notre Dame/Michigan, FSU/VT, Miami/LSU are all week 1, plus several other small lines from teams outside of the elite schools.

I think it used to be worse than it is now since int today's world they have to impress upon the polls more than a few games.   I know that last year FSU opened with Alabama in Atlanta and the year before they opened with Ole Miss here in Orlando .... both of which were Prime time games.
