For many, the college football season officially begins this weekend.
The Southeastern Conference will finally kick off after delaying its schedule because of the coronavirus pandemic, returning perhaps the strongest group of teams in the Power Five.
While the Big Ten initially postponed its fall season before reversing course and deciding to come back in mid-October, the SEC has held firm in its choice to begin a 10-game, conference-only slate this weekend, four weeks after the first Football Bowl Subdivision game of the season. So far, so good, as no SEC teams have had to postpone their season openers _ yet.
