After an eventful Week 0 that saw Georgia Tech upset No. 10 Florida State as 10.5-point underdogs, the 2024 college football season kicks off for real in Week 1 with plenty of top-25-ranked teams in action, starting Saturday at noon with No. 1 Georgia taking on No. 14 Clemson.
Saturday's prime-time matchup pits No. 7 Notre Dame against No. 20 Texas A&M (7:30 p.m. ET), while in the rare Sunday night game, No. 23 USC battles No. 13 LSU. Week 1 caps off with a Monday night showdown between Boston College and the Seminoles, as Florida State looks to bounce back from its disappointing defeat last week.
Here are the betting lines, money lines and totals available for the Week 1 games featuring top-25 teams.
