With apologies to the Week 0 appetizers, college football really returns this weekend.

The action will truly be wall-to-wall as the NFL takes a week off before the start of its regular season, with FBS games on tap every day from Thursday through Monday.

The lone matchup of ranked teams comes on Sunday night, as No. 9 Ole Miss and No. 24 Louisville meet in Nashville, but plenty of other attractions remain. Among them: No. 6 Indiana beginning its national title defense against North Texas, No. 11 LSU hosting Clemson in a showdown of Death Valley Tigers, and No. 4 Notre Dame meeting Wisconsin at Lambeau Field.

Here's everything you need to know to watch those games and more in Week 1.
