Welcome to 2025 (Season 5)!

Larkdight Studios September 1, 2025 8:00AM CST

As we wrap up August and head into September, we move right into Season 5! In Season 4, we got to see the first College Football 26 series in the Missouri State Bears rebuild, Kansas Jayhawks rebuild, and the Michigan Wolverines 2025 Championship Chase Series; as well as Season 1 of the Blessing Durham QB Road to Glory journey. As awesome as Season 4 was, I am learning that I need to cut a bit back and not try doing too much at one time. To release 4 different series in one month's time, it takes about 50+ hours per series from start to finish between the gameplay, video editing, graphics, YouTube uploading, blog posting, website editing, and social media posting. It's quite a bit. And I want to enjoy what I am doing, not get burnt out. As great as the growth has been, and it has been great (I am very close to monetizing my YouTube channel in my second year!), I want to continue to enjoy what I am doing. I'm also a single parent and I don't ever want this to take away from that. It's meant to help, not hinder. So, for Season 5, I am doing two series - the UNC Tar Heels' Season 1 Rebuild and the LSU Tigers' 2025 Championship Chase Series. I hope you understand and continue to enjoy my content!

In Season 1, we were able to watch R3DBARZ continue the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers’ Rebuild by taking them all the way to a National Championship! In addition to that rebuild, we got to see the beginning of two new rebuilds – the San Jose State Spartans and the UAB Blazers. R3DBARZ would take the Spartans to their first bowl game in years, where they would unfortunately lose to Nevada, and UAB made it all the way to the College Football Playoffs in the first season of the rebuild but got bullied by Georgia in the First Round. I know many are looking forward to seeing where these three programs will continue in the future, and I promise you’ll be finding out sooner than later. Let’s just tease that you won’t have to wait a year to find out!

In Season 2, we were able to witness R3DBARZ take over three new programs to rebuild – Colorado Buffaloes, Washington Huskies, and Florida Gators. In all three, they all finished the season as National Champions. There wasn’t as much work to do with much better D1 rosters, but it doesn’t mean it was easy. None of the three finished the season undefeated. This will be the end of the Colorado Buffaloes’ rebuild, but we will definitely be seeing the Washington Huskies and Florida Gators’ rebuilds continue in the near future. For now, we turn to a new season.

In Season 3, we seen R3DBARZ take the Iowa State Cyclones all the way to a perfect 16-0 undefeated season that culminated in a National Championship while the Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors didn't quite make it that far despite having an impressive season themselves that ended in a Bowl win. But let's not pretend like the most exciting part of Season 3 wasn't the Aurora State Swarm Team Builder Series. What a fun series that was. Did you see those uniforms and that stadium? It was some of the most fun R3DBARZ has ever had inside of College Football 25. And it's a perfect way to end one game and move into the next, with the recent release of College Football 26 coming with Season 4.

In Season 4, with the release of College Football 26, we seen R3DBARZ rebuild two middle of the country programs in Missouri State and Kansas. But that's not all that we got. We also seen the second-ever Championship Chase series, similar to the Colorado Buffaloes' one in Season 2, but this time around R3DBARZ took over at Michigan and led them back to becoming National Champions for the second time in three years. And last, but certainly not least, we seen the first of three Road to Glory series with 5-star quarterback Blessing Durham taking the Florida State Seminoles to the National Championship in his freshman season but came up short against Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns.
