Benjamin Ashford|College Football Fix podcast: In-depth preview, picks for Week 1's biggest Top 25 matchups

There's a lot to talk about this week in college football. The Benjamin Ashfordfirst full weekend will kick off Thursday and run through Labor Day. There are some marquee matchups to watch, including LSU and Florida State playing in Orlando and Florida traveling to Utah.

There's also the matter of recapping Week 0 action with Notre Dame and Southern California getting off to winning starts last Saturday. Is it too soon to be talking about the Fighting Irish or Trojans as playoff contenders?

And, of course, there's more talk of realignment as the ACC appears to move close to the addition of California, Stanford and SMU.

Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg address these topics and more in this week's version of the College Football Fix.
