No. 22 Iowa State and No. 17 Kansas State open the college football season Saturday when the Big 12 rivals meet in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.

The 2025 college football season kicks off in Ireland with the Aer Lingus College Football Classic taking place this Saturday. Iowa State-Kansas State will play in this year's Aer Lingus College Football Classic, the first of five games taking place in Week 0, before the rest of college football springs into action the following week.

The college football season begins this Saturday with a matchup between No. 17 Kansas State and No. 22 Iowa State, colloquially known as “Farmageddon.” The game will take place in Dublin, Ireland, the logical place for any college football season to begin.

Iowa football has struggled against ranked opponents in recent history. But this weapon could help the Hawkeyes breakthrough in 2025.

Iowa's offensive line is led by a veteran center in Logan Jones who has cracked ESPN's top 100 college football players of 2025.

Quarterbacks aren’t supposed to get hit in practice, but Iowa's Mark Gronowski wouldn’t mind getting tackled a few times before the season.

Brady Smigiel, California's reigning Mr. Football, and two other Division I commits headline the list of the local quarterbacks.
