The Top 5 Games

Not surprising to see the demand so high on these games, as these are some of the top brands in college football. Demand for Georgia vs Notre Dame started as soon as tickets were listed by season ticket holders and has been steadily climbing. The one top 5 game that is noteworthy is that Nebraska at Colorado game, which will be the biggest ticket in Boulder in years. Expect to see lots of Cornhusker red in Folsom Field that afternoon.

Huge Demand for Classic Rivalry Games

Rivalry games always generate strong demand for tickets, and those on this list are no exception. Colorado versus Nebraska is a rivalry that dates back to the Big Eight Conference. Michigan versus Notre Dame has a long history, but took a break, so this is the first-time they play in the Big House since 2013. BYU and Utah’s football rivalry has been given the nickname the Holy War since these teams have been playing since 1896.

The SEC Comes to Wyoming

War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming is going to be rocking when the Missouri Tigers come calling on August 31st. The Cowboys play some great games in the Mountain West conference, but this is a major deal to have an SEC team visiting Laramie for a game. The demand for this game is already strong, $90 is currently the lowest priced ticket, but with just 427 tickets available for sale on the market that price could rise over the next month. War Memorial Stadium (capacity: 29,181) is one of the smallest stadiums to host a game this big.

South Bend is the Place to Be

Notre Dame always plays a stacked schedule and this year is no exception. In addition to their huge road games at Georgia and at Michigan, Notre Dame hosts games in South Bend against USC, Boston College, Virginia Tech and Navy.

Kickoff Games Feature Lots of Big Names

The kickoff games have loaded up the first weekends of the season with a handful of the best games in college football. Make your plans now, because 6 of our top games will be played at one of the kickoff classics. Those include the Advocare Kickoff, Belk Kickoff, Chick-fil-A Kickoff and more.

Great College Football Games at $60 or Less Per Ticket

There are 10 games on the list above that you can get into for $60 or less per ticket. Those are really good games that you can go see for a really good price. Do not miss your chance to see some great college football match-ups for a great price.
