Why not beat ESPIN and own that week starting off the season with the first “game day”?
Great idea IMHO.

It would be a good idea but Game Day will be in Dublin that day for the Navy/Notre Dame game. (Link)

EDIT: BTW, whereas Navy & ND needed a waiver to play in week 0, if a joint proposal from the AAC, ACC & Pac 12 succeeds, future teams that play a regular season game in a foreign country may, as a matter of course, play their first game in week 0. (Link)

That could delay the inevitable as far as week 0 is concerned (I agree with Frank - it will eventually just become the new week 1). I wonder if this rule proposal passes, will we see more games played in exotic locations? Ohio State vs. Indiana from the Bahamas?

Also, does Canada count? If so, why not a Michigan game in Toronto or a Wisconsin game in Edmonton? Some driveable stadiums just across the border...
