It’s here. It’s finnnnnaally here. Week 1 has arrived. My picks and predictions are in. What happens in Saturday’s Boise State vs. Oregon game? How about Oregon State’s season opener at Houston? And the Apple Cup… on a Sunday?

Who wins?

And by how much?

I was so excited about the start of the college football regular season that I picked 13 different college football games. I’d love for readers to give me their picks in the comment section below.

My Week 1 picks (against the spread and straight up)…

2026 record picking college football games, straight up: 3-1 (.750)

My 2026 record vs. the spread: 1-3 (.250)
