US EditionIt's Week 0 in College Football — Here Are the Games and Why some Teams Get an Early Start
The 2025 season opener between ranked Iowa State (#22) and Kansas State (#17) in Dublin continues the Aer Lingus Classic, reviving international college football exposure since 2022.
- On Saturday, Aug. 23 at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Iowa State Cyclones and Kansas State Wildcats kick off the 2025 season in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at 11 a.m. CT, designated as a Week 0 game.
- The Aer Lingus Classic, revived in 2022, is an ongoing annual series in Ireland featuring Iowa State Cyclones' international debut and Kansas State Wildcats' second overseas game in Dublin.
- Rankings show the Cyclones at #22 and the Wildcats at #17, with absences including five-star tight end Linkon Cure, projected left guard Trevor Buhr, and sixth-year receiver Daniel Jackson; Dublin weather is cloudy with a high of 71 degrees and light rain.
- With Big 12 and College Football Playoff ramifications, social media conversations debated the Week 0 versus Week 1 designation last month, though some called it 'worthless' as nobody really cares.
- The matchup highlights a growing trend of international college games as the Aer Lingus College Football Classic has scored at least 28 first-half points since 2022, and the Farmageddon rivalry shows Iowa State leading 54-50-4 with over 100 years of history.
