I want to start by welcoming you to my journey writing about college football. I should preface this by saying that I don't have any formal background in sports writing, especially not in college football. However, I love all things college football.
For as long as I can remember, Saturdays in the fall have always been about football. Being a lifelong Mariners fan meant that come September, the season was all but over—and by October, I had nothing left to watch. That's when college football came into the picture. Waking up at 6 a.m. to watch College GameDay and staying up until the final whistle of Pac-12 After Dark—usually around midnight—meant up to 18 hours of uninterrupted football on a good day.
I'm writing this as a way to compile all my thoughts on the college football season in one place. I hope you read it, enjoy it, and share it with others who love college football as much as we do. At the very least, I know my mom will read all of my posts—don’t be fooled, Mom is a certified ball knower, and you’ll learn more about her as the season goes on.
Enough about me—let’s talk about what The College Footblog will entail.
The College Footblog is a place for me to share my opinions on each week of the college football season, give predictions for the upcoming year, and react to relevant news across the sport. As the season goes on, I plan to write once a week, typically after the rankings are released, to review and discuss the weekend’s action. While most of what I cover will focus on general college football, I did graduate from Brigham Young University, grew up a massive Washington State Cougars fan, and have recently developed a soft spot for the Tennessee Volunteers—thanks to a former roommate. These three teams and their associated schools might get more attention than a typical college football writer would give them. At the very least, I’ll provide a short synopsis of their weekend results.
Now, as we embark on the 2025–26 college football season, read along. College football is the time of year when everyone has something to be excited about. Whether you're a national contender hoping to win it all, a team just hoping to beat your rival, a team looking for that elusive first win, or a fan praying your team gets a shoutout on College GameDay, there’s something for everyone to dream and hope for this fall.
Even if your team is so bad there's no real hope, you can always root for the team you despise to crash and burn even worse. So here's to WSU, BYU, and Tennessee going 12–0. Here's to Washington, Utah, and Alabama going 0–12. And here's to that one stupid coach who said he wanted to build a foundation of trust and hard work—only to leave two days later for a school with arguably lesser pedigree. A coach who then complained about not being able to recruit at his old school because of “geographical limitations,” and who, ideally, goes on to lose every single game for the rest of his career.
I’d love to hear from readers, too. If you think any of my takes are stupid and want to argue, or if you want my opinion on something I haven't mentioned, feel free to email me at: thecollegefootblog@gmail.com
