Dan Wetzel of the College Football Enquirer podcast is on a crusade to enshrine the Backyard Brawl as the season-opening game for college football -- every year.

He argues that it's not only a true rivalry, it's usually an entertaining game. He would play it on Thursday night of Week 1.

Ross Dellenger and Pat Forde, who are also on podcast, agreed enthusiastically. Dellenger suggested playing it on Week 0.

Wetzel has suggested this previously, but he made quite a lengthy case for it near the end of Sunday's recap of the weekend games.
