If this comes to fruition in September, it could easily qualify as the biggest opening game in college football history.
Sports Illustrated released their post-spring practice Top 25 this week, and it revealed a new team near the top; Florida State is now No. 2 in the SI.com rankings, coming in only behind Alabama. If the same thing happens in the AP or Coaches Poll to open the season, we will see a 1 vs. 2 matchup to open the season, as the two teams are scheduled to open the new Falcons stadium in Atlanta in Week 1.

Falling from the No. 2 spot to accommodate Florida State is USC, who is now No. 3 in the SI.com rankings. Closing out the Top 5 are Ohio State and Penn State. The defending national champs, Clemson, are at No. 6, while fellow Playoff contender Washington is at No. 8.
