College football preview: The five biggest Saturdays for your calendar

The 2024 college football season has been blessed with 14 Saturdays of regular-season play — one more than normal — plus a 15th for conference championship games.

Combine the calendar extension with playoff expansion, which will make more games meaningful later in the season, and the fan experience this fall will be unlike any in the sport’s history.

Few among us can commit 14 consecutive hours each weekend for three consecutive months to watching all the action on the big and small screens.
