Action for Week 1 of the 2022 college football season continues Friday evening with eight more games to whet your appetite before the full slate of Saturday’s contests gets underway. While the second of five straight days of college football is light on ranked teams — only No. 15 Michigan State is represented from the Preseason AP Top 25 — it still has plenty to follow storyline-wise around the country.
Teams from four of the five Power Five conferences will be in action, though only Big Ten cross-divisional rivals Illinois and Indiana will be squaring off in conference play. All in all, there’s enough football to occupy two, three or even four screens given the loaded 7 p.m. kickoff slate. Night owls can enjoy coverage that will extend past midnight with TCU and Colorado playing into the early hours of Saturday morning.
Be sure to stick with CBS Sports throughout the evening for college football coverage from the opening kickoff onward. Let’s take a look at our expert picks for the best games on Friday of Week 1.
