2026 Scheduling Updates

[ericd7633]

Media companies have their upfront presentations this week, so we should see a trickle of game announcements.

As a reminder, the week 0 schedule is as follows:

UNC vs. TCU (Dublin, Ireland)
NC State vs. UVA (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil)
New Mexico State at Florida State
Jacksonville State at North Dakota State
Sacramento State at Eastern Michigan
Memphis at UNLV
San Jose State at USC
Hawaii at Stanford

No surprise here. Noon games are pretty much a guarantee. The last time they didn't play a noon game was 2006

Could have been a sick lead in to Cal vs. Pitt.

CW has been mocked a lot over the past few years, but the CW is 1,000 times better than Bally, FS2 and ESPNU. Very accessible network.

Like I said in some of the playoff discussions, give Army/Navy exclusivity over Week 0 to get rid of these weirdo matchups.

I think pretty soon week 0 will be the official start for everyone. Especially if we get this 24 team CFP. I do like that Navy/Army gets their own showcase.

As expected.

As expected.

off-season can be brutal. if Lane wasn't busy accusing Ole Miss of white supremancy then I would have completely forgotten that he ditched Ole Miss for LSU, lmao.

Miami coming to Wake in primetime on Friday 9/18. Let's get Truist Field rocking @Hitman Hart ! Also 4 games on 9/11 seems excessive.

I actually like going to Wake games on Friday nights b/c that frees up my Saturday so I can watch actually important games, lmao.
