Evolution of ESPN College Football since 2000

[@jetsmetsnets6942]

Guys I don’t know about the future of college football! What do y’all think 😬

[@jaiden_knudson7898]

We're still in good hands❤

[@EliasReedX16]

2012-2022 College Football was wild.

[@BRICH902]

The 2005-2009 intro is the best.

[@Need1738]

The orchestral theme when panning over the stadium needs to come back forever

[@George-502]

2005 - 2009 intro music was the absolute best. So many memories. Bring it back ESPN

[@justindavis7928]

It’s interesting to see how it went from a poetic event, showcasing stories, universities, and the friendly yet emotional battles between regions of our country; to the ads slowly creeping in, and eventually taking over the majority of the airtime.

I miss the ol days. Much more simple time. ABC always had the best games of the week. Now u got 40 games on TV. College football is essentially pro football now.

[@shooterridge]

2005 - 2009 were the best! Miss those days. The graphics, the music, & the camera work all went together so nice & made it feel how a college football game on ESPN should feel! Then the announcers had perfect voices during that time. Todd Blackledge’s “taste of the town” segments during that time as well

[@RobbieStacks90]

The 2000-2003 ESPN College Football theme was ESPN's finest imo. Noontime in the Big Ten RIP Ron Franklin

[@danielwest9955]

They had a cool downtown landscape/fireworks intro for Saturday Night Football. But not for every game like the good-old-days.

[@superintendentconfuser]

i like the theme song but i hate this years scoreboard and how they do it.

[@EliasReedX16]

Things don't last forever when it comes to Sports themes

[@hookem2003]

@@EliasReedX16 Well some do. CBS College Football and Fox NFL themes comes into mind. When it is not broken, don't fix it. Now, SEC on ABC is relying on the nostalgic theme to bring back viewers.

[@topay]

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.

[@mochabean5692]

The 2010-2014 theme songs tug at my nostalgia a lot. Miss that era of college football!

[@alphagnYT01]

The ESPN college football theme from 2010-2013 is the greatest sports theme of all time imo

[@MonarchEAS]

Nah the one they have now is way cooler but it was a good one.

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

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!

[@nickgus4261]

I agree, the 2005-2010 was my favorite music and presentation

[@jeremygarr1458]

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!

Ron Franklin. He got let go from ESPN around 2010. Unfortunately he passed away earlier this year.

He was awesome. RIP

[@MrLester89]

Whoever made the change in 2015 should be fired.

[@jetsmetsnets6942]

Facts

[@micahshaw5947]

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

[@Floridia098]

hell no

[@PeteyThePanda]

The current theme is trash. I like the new theme they have for the SEC (a remix of the late 90s theme) but the theme they’ve used since 2015 is complete and total garbage (of course it’s the one they keep the longest)

[@trae5599]

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

[@fleetadmiralj]

That was a good one to watch, if only because of how eerily similar it was to the Boise/Oklahoma game

[@voiceofreason2674]

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

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

[@benjohnson9165]

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.

They recently used the graphics for SEC coverage on ABC as a secondary for its Saturday Night Football coverage.
