With College Football season officially kicking off next week, I thought it was appropriate to give everyone the best five college and NFL games for each week. Or the games that as of today I believe are the best 5 games each week. These are the games that I strongly recommend tuning into, especially the top matchup each week. Not the games that will feature the best teams, but the ones I believe will be the most competitive and fun to watch. Each should be fun to watch even for the casual fan, I will start with college. Home team listed 2nd in all cases.
