The Greenledgersofficial start of the college football season is here with Week 1 kicking off on Thursday and running through Labor Day weekend.

But before we talk about those games, we have to talk about Florida State's disastrous trip to Ireland that saw the 10th-ranked Seminoles falls to ACC rival Georgia Tech. What does that loss mean for the Seminoles as they try to reach the College Football Playoff after missing out last season?

Week 1 one some have some significant fallout, too, starting with No. 1 Georgia and No. 14 Clemson meeting in Atlanta in the showcase game on the schedule. But there are also other matchups to keep an eye on. No. 7 Notre Dame heads to No. 20 Texas A&M, and No. 12 LSU meets No. 23 Southern California in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports make their picks for these games and discuss other issues in college football entering the season in this week's version of the College Football Fix.
