You heard it here first! We are one month away from CFB! To get you excited, here are some of the Week 0 matchups.

Farmageddon…what is Farmageddon you ask? Why it’s the greatest rivalry in CFB! Iowa State and K-State meet up in Ireland for the 109th consecutive edition of Farmageddon. These two ag schools have a lot in common and are ready to settle it on the field across the sea. Iowa State and K-State are both contenders for the Big 12 crown this year and a conference game to start the season should set the tone for what is setting up to be another chaotic year in the Big 12. This one kicks off at 11 AM CDT on ESPN.

An underrated matchup is Fresno State at Kansas. Kansas is 2/3 of the way done with their stadium renovation but will be back in Lawrence playing their home games in Memorial Stadium. All eyes will be on the Jayhawks and Bulldogs in this FOX evening game that starts at 5:30 CDT.

Sam Houston will be starting their 3rd year in CUSA and they get the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky. Sam Houston was much improved in 2024 compared to their first year as an FBS team and they look to continue that against CUSA power, WKU. This matchup kicks off at 6:00 CDT on CBSSN.

To round out strictly FBS matchups, Stanford is on the road in paradise to play Hawaii. Stanford and Hawaii had less than ideal 2024 seasons and a win in Week 0 could get one of these teams moving in the right direction. This is a 6:30 CDT kick over on CBS.

Our only FBS/FCS clash features Idaho State visiting the UNLV Rebels. Idaho State is…well…not great, but they did go 5-7 last year, which was an improvement from their 3-8 record in 2023. UNLV lost Barry Odom to Purdue but did get a good coach in Dan Mullen. Can Dan keep UNLV humming? I can’t find a kickoff time or tv network for this one.

FCS matchups include Tarleton State at Portland State, Incarnate Word at Nicholls, UC Davis vs Mercer, which will be played in Montgomery, AL (6:00 CDT kick on ESPN), and North Carolina Central vs Southern (6:30 CDT kick on ABC)…this is the HBCU Kickoff that takes place in Atlanta.
