Fall camps begin across the country this week, a sign that college football season is quickly approaching.

Pete Nakos broke down everything worth watching as camps open, including the coaches on the hot seat, the teams built to chase a national championship, the quarterback battles that will define the fall, and the first-year coaches primed to win right away.
