Everyone's favorite time of the year: Week 0. Check out GamecockCentral and 107.5 The Game's staff picks for this weekend.
College football is finally back. Well, sort of. It depends on who you ask.
While most teams, including South Carolina, aren’t playing until next week, there are a handful of games being played on Saturday. In other words, welcome to Week 0 of the college football season.
If you’re a Week 0 truther, you’re in luck. If not, well, you’ve just got to get through this weekend before Week 1 games begin.
The Gamecocks won’t begin their season until Sunday, Aug. 31, when they travel to Atlanta to face Virginia Tech in the Aflac Kickoff Game. But starting this weekend, it’s time to start diving back into our weekly staff picks from the GamecockCentral and 107.5 The Game crew.
Before we get started, congratulations are in order for last season’s winner, Terry Ford, who finished in first place with a 110-45 record. Way to go, Terry!
With that taken care of, here is the first batch of staff picks from the GamecockCentral and 107.5 The Game staff to kick off the 2025 season.
