22 college football teams will play their first games of the 2022 season during Week 0.

College football returns, and you’ve got some games to watch on Saturday for Week 0, baby!

In total, there will be 11 games played this weekend, scattered across the entire day on Saturday for your enjoyment. Who cares if it is any good? It is still football!

Make plans to watch as many of these games as possible, as Saturdays no longer belong to you.
