College football programs completed their Week 0 matchups as North Dakota State recorded a victory in its first FBS-level game. The Bison defeated the Gamecocks 37-10 while other programs faced losses to open the 2026 season. Stanford secured a victory over Hawaii after a late fumble return, and Memphis held off UNLV. The Spartans also fell to the Trojans in their opening contest. Beyond the field, the FBS Oversight committee finalized significant adjustments to the collegiate football calendar. These changes include shortening the transfer portal window to 10 days, replacing spring and summer practice models with two out-of-season periods, and reducing total preseason practice sessions from 25 to 21. These regulatory updates take effect heading into the upcoming schedule.
