Start to the Season
August was a whirlwind of gridiron energy as we kicked off both Week 0 and Week 1 of the college football season. Our team had the privilege of curating unforgettable travel experiences, including trips for fans of Texas at Ohio State, Alabama at Florida State, and Georgia Tech at Colorado. It’s always a joy to immerse fans in the thrill and traditions of the opening weekend!
On the field, storylines unfolded quickly. Ohio State’s defense delivered a 14–7 upset over preseason No. 1 Texas, neutralizing Arch Manning and setting the tone for the Big Ten’s early dominance. Florida State shook the college football world by routing No. 8 Alabama, marking the Tide’s first season-opening defeat since 2001. Meanwhile, LSU knocked off Clemson, and Miami edged Notre Dame, solidifying a primed and unpredictable season.
Lee Corso’s Perfect Farewell
One of the most memorable moments of Week 1 was witnessed on College GameDay: Lee Corso’s final appearance after more than four decades in the broadcast booth. Wearing a tuxedo and ultimately choosing the Brutus Buckeye headgear, Corso’s final pick proved spot-on. But that wasn’t all: he went 6 for 6 on his predictions, correctly identifying upsets and outcomes across the weekend, including calling Florida State’s triumph over Alabama and LSU over Clemson. What a way to go out!
Team Perspective
For SET, August was more than just kickoff. It was a celebration of fans, tradition, and the beginning of our favorite season. Meeting fans in stadiums, sharing iconic college rituals, and reigniting partnerships energized our team and reaffirmed why travel, sport, and storytelling go hand in hand.
What’s Next in September?
September shapes up to be a treasure trove of marquee matchups and memorable weekends. We’re gearing up for:
- Texas A&M at Notre Dame — A meeting of tradition-rich programs that promise high stakes and electric atmospheres.
- Ohio State at Washington — A cross-country showdown featuring one of the season’s early powerhouses.
College Football is back in full swing, and we’re thrilled to be back on the road with our fans and partners. Here’s to an awesome September of camaraderie, celebration, and a little college football chaos!
