Mark Your Calendars: The Ultimate College Football Kickoff Awaits
Get ready to circle August 28-September 1 on your calendar, because the 2025 college football season is shaping up to be an unforgettable ride. The Week 1 slate is packed with mouth-watering matchups that will set the tone for the entire season.
A Dream Rematch to Start the Season
The highly anticipated College Football Playoff rematch between Ohio State and Texas takes center stage, with the possibility of a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown to kick off the season. Adding to the excitement is the debut of Arch Manning as the Longhorns’ starting quarterback. This is a game that will have fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
Campus Showdowns Galore
What makes this slate truly special is that most of these marquee games will be played on campus, where the electric atmosphere and passionate fans can elevate the experience to new heights. Imagine the energy at Notre Dame’s stadium as they take on Miami, or the intensity at Clemson’s Death Valley when they host LSU. These are the kinds of matchups that make college football the spectacle it is today.
A Lost Opportunity
It’s a shame that Syracuse and Tennessee won’t be reprising their home-and-home series, which produced a thrilling finish in 1998. Instead, they’ll face off in a neutral site game in Atlanta, sacrificing the electric atmosphere of a campus stadium for a bigger paycheck. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the pursuit of profit can overshadow the true spirit of the game.
The Perfect Tripleheader
Imagine a day with three consecutive games that would be worthy of a Playoff quarterfinal. That’s exactly what we’ll get on August 30, with Notre Dame-Miami at noon, LSU-Clemson at 3:30, and Ohio State-Texas at 7:00. This is a day that will have fans glued to their screens, eager to see which teams will emerge victorious and set the tone for the rest of the season.
A Long Wait Ahead
As we count down the days until the season kicks off, it’s hard not to feel a sense of anticipation and excitement. The next seven months may seem like an eternity, but with matchups like these on the horizon, it’s clear that the wait will be well worth it.
