The 2024 college football season kicks off with a historic matchup between No. 10 Florida State and Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland, marking the Atlantic Coast Conference's (ACC) expansion to 17 teams. Florida State, the reigning ACC champions, aim to repeat their success and secure a spot in the new 12-team playoff format, while Georgia Tech looks to build on last season's upsets. Both teams face unique challenges due to their international travel, with Florida State's new quarterback DJ Uiagalelei stepping in to replace the departed Jordan Travis, and Georgia Tech's Haynes King seeking to improve his turnover rate. The game will be broadcast internationally by ESPN's 'College GameDay', highlighting the significance of this opener. The stakes are high as both teams strive for early season momentum and positioning within the reshaped college football landscape.
