Herbstreit said the Alabama-Florida State game is the "most intriguing" matchup of Week 1.

"It's a great way to kick off the season," Herbstreit said. "Two of the most storied programs in college football history going head-to-head. It's going to be a lot of fun."

Herbstreit also said he's looking forward to the Ohio State-Notre Dame game.

"It's a great rivalry," Herbstreit said. "Both teams are coming off big seasons, and they both have a lot of talent. It's going to be a great test for both teams."

Herbstreit said the Georgia-Oregon game is another one to watch.

"Georgia is the defending national champions," Herbstreit said. "Oregon is a dark horse playoff contender. It's going to be a great matchup of styles. Oregon loves to score points, and Georgia has one of the best defenses in the country. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch."

Herbstreit said the Michigan-Colorado State game could be a trap game for the Wolverines.

"Michigan is a heavy favorite," Herbstreit said. "But Colorado State is a good team. They're coming off a bowl game appearance, and they have a lot of talent. Michigan can't overlook them."

Herbstreit said the Clemson-Georgia Tech game is a good way to end the Week 1 slate.

"Clemson is the defending ACC champions," Herbstreit said. "Georgia Tech is a tough opponent. It's going to be a good test for both teams."
