Our weekly cycle of columnists begins this week at D3football.com as we get ready for a prime slate of Week 1 games this weekend.

If you're new to D3football.com, we have a slate of regional columns that are published early in the week called, appropriately enough, Around the Region. Our first weekly column focuses on this season's games to watch, including some great games kicking off the season this Saturday.

There's something new on the site every day during the season.

Preseason toolbox: Top 25 poll | All-Americans | Kickoff | Week 1 schedule

Here's how it runs down:
• Saturday: game day coverage, updated all afternoon and evening.
• Sunday: New D3football.com Top 25.
• Monday: Around the Nation podcast and Statistical Spotlight, a weekly look at the week's top performers.
• Tuesday-Wednesday: Around the Region columns.
• Thursday: Keith McMillan's Around the Nation column.
• Friday: Triple-Take blog and game day preview.

So check back every day. Plus, follow @d3football on Twitter for the first word on new columns and features, as well as tidbits from the big games on game day.
