Uh, go forward and pick names out of a hat or start flipping coins to determine who you think is going to win every game in this league given how carefully bunched it’s from the very high all the best way to the underside of the convention. Ultimately, the returning manufacturing of reigning champion Arizona State wins out whereas the roster enchancment in Lubbock carries the day for Texas Tech to eke out sufficient victories to make it to Arlington, Texas. The powerful nonconference schedule most likely hurts Baylor’s possibilities of being within the CFP combine, however don’t overlook Utah taking a giant step ahead between its improved offense and usually stingy protection to ship Kyle Whittingham out on a pleasant observe. There’s some regression in-built for Colorado and BYU after final season however don’t be shocked if Kansas and Arizona win just a few extra of these shut video games than they did in 2024.

There are no shortage of scenarios at play in the mighty SEC, however ultimately, the 2 groups that met in Atlanta final season can meet once more this yr. A part of that’s the favorable slate Texas was dealt in addition to a perception in what Kirby Good has constructed down in Athens, Ga. There are some big-time surges out of Florida, Auburn and Oklahoma from a yr in the past. South Carolina and Tennessee take a step again given the variety of upper-tier groups they play. The way in which issues break, it’s not silly to assume the league might produce 4 or 5 CFP contenders.
