The 2024 college football season is finally here. No. 10 Florida State and Georgia Tech kick things off at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. "College GameDay" will be on hand as the Seminoles look to build off a 2023 campaign in which they went undefeated and won the ACC (but missed out on the College Football Playoff). It could be different for Florida State this year with the debut of the new 12-team playoff format. The Yellow Jackets, coming off their first bowl appearance since 2018, are looking to build momentum of their own. Georgia Tech defeated UCF in the 2023 Gasparilla Bowl.
