College football programs open Week 1 schedule with notable non-conference matchups

College football enters Week 1 with a slate of games beginning with Missouri hosting Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The matchup follows a legal victory for Missouri defensive tackle Sterling Webb, who successfully challenged his eligibility status to remain with the team for a fifth season. Elsewhere, Auburn faces Baylor in Atlanta, marking the debut of head coach Alex Golesh and quarterback Byrum Brown for the Tigers, while DJ Lagway starts at quarterback for Baylor. That game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium serves as a key evaluation point for the Auburn offense before a future contest against LSU. The weekend schedule also includes a Sunday night matchup in Nashville between Ole Miss and Louisville. This game features a clash between the rushing attack led by Louisville standout Isaac Brown and the defensive unit coordinated by Pete Golding. The games will be broadcast across the SEC Network and ABC throughout the coming days.
