2026 Week 0 College Football Predictions for Every Game
Key Points:
- College football officially kicks off its season with Week 0, featuring eight games including an international opener in Dublin, Ireland, where TCU faces North Carolina.
- TCU dominated North Carolina last year, and while UNC hopes to improve under QB Billy Edwards Jr., TCU is favored to win again with a strong defense.
- An ACC matchup between North Carolina State and Virginia has increased significance after being rescheduled from a nonconference game in Brazil; Virginia is predicted to win at home.
- Memphis and UNLV face off in a key Group of Six game with potential College Football Playoff implications; despite Memphis' roster overhaul under new coach Charles Huff, UNLV is favored due to greater team cohesion.
