The 2017 college football campaign begins the weekend of September 2, 2017, but a few teams will have early games that will play before that. A few of the early games include Ohio State facing off against Indiana on Thursday, August 31st, while Washington takes on Indiana on Friday, September 1st.
In NCAA unless there is an exception, the season begins the Thursday before Labor Day and regular season concludes on the first Saturday in December. Why? Tradition. Football in the U.S. was a college sport so the season traditionally began after school started and most colleges until around 40 years or so ago began their fall term in September. The team would get in some practices and usually around the second or third Saturday of September would begin playing.
