From ‘can’t miss’ to ‘sickos only’: A watchability rating for every week on the 2025 college football schedule

Week 1 

Featured games: Texas at Ohio State; Alabama at Florida State; LSU at Clemson 

There are better weekends on the 2025 college football schedule — as we will see — but, come on, it’s Week 1. It’s the first full day of football of the season. You don’t want to do anything else besides kick your feet up and keep your eyes glued to the television for 12 hours. Texas-Ohio State and LSU-Clemson are national title-caliber…
