The 2025 college football season is loaded with marquee matchups, and a sizable percentage of them come right out of the gate in Week 1. On paper, it has a chance to be one of the most entertaining opening weeks in some time with the amount of Power Four non-conference clashes and top-25 showdowns on the schedule. Rivalry games, contests with College Football Playoff implications and a rematch of last year’s Cotton Bowl headline the slate.
From Bill Belichick’s college football coaching debut to the start of “prove-it” campaigns for Mike Norvell, Hugh Freeze and others, the storylines in Week 1 write themselves in many cases. Player movement is also top of mind, and prized transfers like Carson Beck make their first impressions at their new schools next August.
