College Football 2022 Week 1 TV schedule: How to binge-watch
By Kathryn Rose
Flip back and forth between these games
Oregon vs. Georgia (3:30 p.m. ET) on ABC
It’s the defending national champion taking on a Pac-12 power in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Much has been made of Georgia’s losses to the NFL Draft over the past few months, but they still have loads of NFL talent across the board. Meanwhile, new Oregon head coach Dan Lanning was Georgia’s defensive coordinator during the title run last year. At least Oregon has a quarterback with experience against Georgia; Bo Nix should be the week one starter for the Ducks.
Houston vs. UTSA (3:30 p.m. ET) on CBS Sports Network
If you want a fun mid-major matchup this week, Houston versus UTSA in the Alamodome is sure to be one. The Cougars of Houston have one of the nation’s deadliest quarterback-receiver combos in Clayton Tune and Nathaniel Dell. Meanwhile, UTSA has lost guys like Sincere McCormick and Tariq Woolen, but Frank Harris should be a capable leader and a fine quarterback for the Roadrunners.
Cincinnati vs. Arkansas (3:30 p.m. ET) on ESPN
So, does Arkansas have enough firepower left to continue to sustain its program’s momentum? One should know when they play defending playoff team Cincinnati. Unfortunately, this Bearcat team lost too many pieces to name, but should still be a strong unit under coach Luke Fickell.
