Doug Farmer gives his initial reactions to the Week 0 college football action, including No. 10 Florida State's upset loss to unranked Georgia Tech.The 2024 college football season could not have started with more drama. The single-greatest storyline from the 2023 season — unbeaten Florida State being snubbed by the College Football Playoff selection committee — had a genuine chance at redemption this year.
Florida State's clearly not a national title contender, but that doesn't mean it won't take care of business on Labor Day.That loss to Georgia Tech dropped FSU to a 17.5-point favorite vs. Boston College, having been at -21.5 up until Wednesday and then moving to -20.5. Moving a line by three points because of struggles in the season opener is rash. If that line falls to the key number of -17, bet against the rash move.lost at home to an FCS team, 35-31. No, that was not surprising.
Historically, teams that play in Week 0 fare poorly against the spread in Week 1 when facing an FBS opponent making its debut. Nevada heads to Troy next week and now the Trojans have some film to study while the Wolf Pack have little firm idea what new Troy coach Gerad Parker is scheming up.
