College football is officially back.
The 2025 season started Saturday with Week 0, which included five games involving FBS teams as well as four more games between FCS teams. In the highest-profile game of the day, No. 22 Iowa State earned a 24-21 win over No. 17 Kansas State in Dublin, Ireland, giving the Cyclones a huge victory to start their quest for a Big 12 title.
As we wait for the first full week of college football to start Thursday, we begin this edition of The Weekender by recapping the best and worst of Week 0.
