Best college football hype videos ahead of Week 3

The video took the college football world by storm ahead of Week 1.

By now, chances are you're probably responsible for one of the 60,000-plus views on USC football's 2024 hype video. The video is a masterclass in cinematography, taking fans from a battlefield with Trojan warriors to an aircraft carrier filled with players who jump out to land in the center of the LA Memorial Coliseum.

College video hype videos are created with the intention of getting fans excited and hyped up about their team's upcoming game, and USC's early-season masterpiece did just that.

With that said, USC's hype video is not the only outstanding production created this season. In fact, programs across the country consistently drop new hype videos ahead of each week, which was the case heading into Week 3.

Here is a look at the top hype videos entering Week 3 of the 2024 college football season:
