The Virtual Tailgate crew kicks off Week 1 of the college football season by handing out their lone game ball to a Hawaii kicker who allegedly learned his craft from YouTube videos. Judge Jarred delivers a poignant ruling on proper bathroom trough etiquette , and the guys deliver their first ACC Power Rankings of the year, with a special message from The Rock for the cellar dwellers.
The hosts then dive into a slate of fantastic opening weekend games. Andrew and Jarred offer some very lukewarm picks for Virginia Tech in their "Beamer Bowl" matchup against South Carolina. The crew discusses the debut of "Chapel Bill" Belichick at North Carolina and the surrounding off-the-field drama. In a surprising turn, most of the hosts back a downtrodden Florida State to keep it close against Alabama. They follow that by predicting an early-season win for Miami over Notre Dame, with the caveat that "Miami will suck eventually". Finally, the boys are split on the marquee "Battle for Death Valley" between LSU and Clemson, debating whether Dabo Swinney's reluctance to embrace the transfer portal will cost the Tigers. The show wraps with a round of quickfire bets, including a very confident pick for Georgia Tech over Colorado and a truly terrible joke from Geoff.
