  1. Tim Brando and Spencer Tillman will be on the call of the week 0 game between Ohio and San Diego State, the week 1 game between Central Michigan and Michigan State, the week 2 game between Stanford and USC and the week 3 game between TCU and Houston. This is from Tim Brando himself on Twitter or whatever it is calling itself now
