Thanks for putting all this together! A couple of key years stick out to me: - 2004, which had the intro that lasted into the ESPN/ABC integration and would last through the end of the '00s decade. Even Saturday Night Football used the graphic sequence, albeit with different music. - 2010. I really enjoyed that up-tempo beat that lasted from that year through 2012 (other than College Football Primetime in 2012, which used the Saturday Night Football theme). - And from 2015 to 2019, games that used the "full" intro graphic sequence would show helmets from the previous season's 4 CFP teams.
ESPN definitely on it's prime right as the BCS was ending. Stunning graphics, hit heir stride in HD, good music (BCS theme is so good), good callers. Even love the "ESPN college football... Is brought to you by" voiceover guy. I hate the new playoff music that they're using for everything now. It's overly tough sounding and doesn't have the passion that the old music had in its composition. In the new newer stuff though really glad to see Greg McElroy on the air - he was in my graduating class at bama!
Agreed, their current theme isn't bad, but it should've only been used for the College Football Playoff, and kept the 2010-14 theme for the regular season
Wow this is so Kool, 2000-2003 my jay v and varsity years. I would rush to the t.v. on Thursday nights to see most likely a pac 10 team or wac team, good times and thanks for the upload we appreciate it.
ohhhh yes i remeber this well very much when i moved out, my parents thevcr was set on for me to watch any random college football even though the tv was off and it going on even i went to work or just be home cause i always wanted to see ESPN football cause i didn't have cable just network tv and collect the tape early in the week yes those were great days, from 2000-2005 as far as i went,,
This theme started out ok but it stinks now cuz they changed it too much and the music is too low in the mix. The Sec on CBS is so good because it never changes and the announcer has to yell over it it’s so loud. If you’re in another room you hear that theme and it’s an alarm to get your azz on that couch
18:45 I felt for Chris Fowler and Kirk that day they literally had to call Ohio State vs Rutgers that day no fun and not to mention this should’ve been an ABC game.
Considering I was not even alive for the first couple here, I'm glad I can definitely say that I'm not biased by nostalgia in thinking the newest ESPN graphics and presentation look like corporate, focus group crap compared to the soul that the old stuff had.
Gets to the 2015 Michigan Michigan St Game, and Sean’s cracked voice leaps into my ear: ‘ OH AND HE HE TROUBLE ON THE SNAP AND THE BALL IS FREE; ITS PICKED UP BY MICHIGAN STATE AND THEY SCOOOORRREEE ON THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME!!!!’ One of the craziest CFB days of my life. Screw the EPL. Saturdays, are GameDay.
I love how ESPN has kept the current garbage theme for as long as they have (8 seasons) but all the themes before it (which ranged from ok to outstanding) were ditched after a few seasons
Week 1 of the college football season better known as "creampuff" week for the Top 25 teams.

Tough matchups all, way to go NCAA competition committee you really put your best foot forward with these stellar matchups! What a joy they must have been to participate in and watch, especially for the fans of Portland State, Arkansas State and Mercer. College football sucks! Its nothing more than revenue for the pseudo-corporate farm system of the NFL (Nefarious Felon's League)(see Ray Lewis, Aaron Hernandez, Rae Carruth, Darryl Henley, Tommy Kane, Eric Naposki, etc., etc., etc.). Professional and amateur sports have devolved into nothing more than a social gambling addiction that will bring more misery and suffering to our society thanks to all the unethical and immoral politicians, university athletic directors, professional team owners and......basically everyone associated with this ridiculous s**t show including the corporate propaganda outlets that help feed the addiction. You are all shi**y human beings and, hopefully, karma will find you all.
Guys I don’t know about the future of college football! What do y’all think 😬
We're still in good hands❤
The 2005-2009 intro is the best.
2015 - "Alright, let's turn the cool intros we've always had into shit."
For real
They had a cool downtown landscape/fireworks intro for Saturday Night Football. But not for every game like the good-old-days.
i like the theme song but i hate this years scoreboard and how they do it.
Never forget that Kansas was indescribably elite in 2007
The 2000-2003 ESPN College Football theme was ESPN's finest imo. Noontime in the Big Ten
RIP Ron Franklin
2010-2014 was prime ESPN intros
Absolutely
Isn’t that also the ncaa 13 Intro
@@rnichigan-tt Yes.
Uh no. 2000-2009 are the best ones.
@@coreyorr3819 not a damn chance
2005 - 2009 intro music was the absolute best. So many memories. Bring it back ESPN
The orchestral theme when panning over the stadium needs to come back forever
The 2010-2014 theme songs tug at my nostalgia a lot. Miss that era of college football!
The ESPN college football theme from 2010-2013 is the greatest sports theme of all time imo
Nah the one they have now is way cooler but it was a good one.
Can't believe you took time into your life to make this great video for people to enjoy
Thank you so much!
This is sick. Ron Franklin was my 2nd favorite all-time college football announcer behind Keith Jackson
Ron Franklin is Legendary.

I enjoyed Mark May & Lou Holtz arguing. Never did mind staying up late it was the best way to end a long Saturday of football

I agree, the 2005-2010 was my favorite music and presentation
Whoever made the change in 2015 should be fired.

Thank you so much for creating this! This is giving me goosebumps! The old CFB intros were awesome! Can’t wait for CFB to be back!
Thank you so much for putting this together and the ABC one. I could listen to these on repeat forever.
I could listen to 9:38 forever my favorite sound hearing as kid.
late 2000’s college football was peak entertainment
I miss that announcer from 2003. He was good. One of the voices of college football for me growing up as a kid.
Ron Franklin. He got let go from ESPN around 2010. Unfortunately he passed away earlier this year.
He was awesome. RIP
@@canesinsider I heard they're bringing back college football.
I was today years old when I realized the sky in the background of my beloved '07 intro changed based on the time of the game. 0_0
The little details that ESPN college football used to do
2:08 The legendary 7OT Arkansas-Ole Miss game
Bring back that 2010-2014 theme and graphics.
I miss college football
Woah, he has trouble with the snap!
18:49 “oh he has trouble with the snap” game
Wow this is so Kool, 2000-2003 my jay v and varsity years. I would rush to the t.v. on Thursday nights to see most likely a pac 10 team or wac team, good times and thanks for the upload we appreciate it.
Love 2000-2003 theme song with Ron Franklin doing the games
God bless you for putting this together this video is simply incredible!
Thank you!
Idky but I love everything aboue espn college football 2009 the intro and the scoreboard
00:30 look at Alabama record before Nick Sabin. Oh how has the mighty forgotten 😂😂😂
9:48…. Gives me goosebumps, brings back so much memories from my childhood hood. Good times.
the BCS theme is unmatched
I could listen to 15:49 on repeat
Same
I love the theme but getting sick to my stomach from the game being shown
Someone really loves his Fords
2010-2014 presentations are just heart warming..
2005-2009 ❤️
Thank u so much for the nostalgia

0:49 - Alabama 3-7. Haven't seen that in a while.
1 coach makes a difference same will happen to usc starting this season
18:45 I felt for Chris Fowler and Kirk that day they literally had to call Ohio State vs Rutgers that day no fun and not to mention this should’ve been an ABC game.
07:44 damn I miss the BCS theme
So can someone explain the "shake and Bake " sign in 2001 when Ricky Bobby didn't come out until 2006? That's some time machine shit.
2007 was peak
That voice coming bac from the commercial with that music just so good
That 2000 entrance music still badass
Considering I was not even alive for the first couple here, I'm glad I can definitely say that I'm not biased by nostalgia in thinking the newest ESPN graphics and presentation look like corporate, focus group crap compared to the soul that the old stuff had.
Did you ever get butterflies in your stomach when your team was playing and the broadcast came on?
I really hope one day someone posts the 2002 theme that has that guitar riff in the background

I miss Ron Franklin. "Mr. Saturday night.
ANY INTRO WITH RON FRANKLIN WAS GOLDEN
Who else is here waiting for the 2022 season ??
I remember my first ever collage football game I watched when I was 6 was Boise st at vt and that intro is my favorite
That was a good one to watch, if only because of how eerily similar it was to the Boise/Oklahoma game
I love how ESPN has kept the current garbage theme for as long as they have (8 seasons) but all the themes before it (which ranged from ok to outstanding) were ditched after a few seasons
Love this
I miss it, this shit was my childhood the nostalgia everything about it was amazing, the hype was like no other
@JetsMetsNets 14:40 shows the BCS on ESPN theme but with a different sound tone
Or I showed the theme of that year
Are we not gonna talk about the headline that going on the bottom of the screen in 2000
Yeah… they got off pretty easy
The ticker was from 2011
10:32 the best hands down
Man....what I wouldn't give to see a 3-7 Alabama again
Man I miss Ron Franklin
2010-2014 maybe my favorite.
This hurts my heart lol today's landscape of college football is . . . . . . . " Sigh "
❤ college football
I wish they'd stop using actual music and go back to the instrumental
10:28 2010 changed the format.
Cal was number 9 in 2006? Wow
they were number 2 at one point in 2007, then they fell off and ended the season 6-6
Yeah but everyone was #2 at some point in 2007 😂

He has a Saturday Night Football video, u know the games that featured Brent..
