It's finally here! The 2016 College Football season finally kicks off!...Well, it *technically* started last week with Cal and Hawaii playing each other in a good game in Australia, but this week we get to see everyone else play.
The format for this year's schedule doesn't look as nice as last year's, but it will still do the job. Just like last year, I will place Big Ten and Purdue's OOC opponents (E. Kentucky, Cincy, Nevada) at the top of the schedule, with the complete schedule below it. I think the people who read these posts liked this last year, so I'll keep doing that for the time being. Have a great college football weekend!
