Hello, college football. It's been too long.

After seven months of waiting, the offseason has finally drawn to a close, and college football will be back on our television screens on Saturday as Week 0 kicks off.

It's a slate of just five games to take the edge off as we wait another week for the official start of the season. But among those five games could be one of the most intriguing matchups we see in the Big 12 all season as No. 17 Kansas State faces off against Iowa State in Dublin, Ireland, in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.

The 2025 college football season is here, and we're starting with a matchup that could have serious conference title and even College Football Playoff ramifications. Here's everything you need to know to watch it.
