The reigning National Champions are coming back in 2025, and don’t expect for much of a fall off. Head coach Ryan Day has young and insanely talented stars who will be even better than last season. Freshman breakout star WR Jeremiah Smith had 1,315 yards and 15 TDs. This kid will be back this season older, wiser, and more dominant.
With the exiting of a lot of great players including QB Shedeur Sanders, Coach Prime did his thing and got the Buffalos a shiny new QB. Coach Sanders got star QB Kaidon Salter to transfer to Colorado from Liberty. In his 2 seasons as the starter at Liberty, Kaidon Salter threw for 4,762 yards and 47 TDs while adding 1,668 yards and 19 TDs on the ground.
After a “bad” season in Alabama’s standards, Kalen DeBoer is looking for improvement, and this is the team that could make it happen. The Crimson Tide retained a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, but most notably young star WR Ryan Williams. Williams, in his freshman year, came out of the gates hot with 865 yards and 8 TDs.
Heading into his 2nd season as the Head Coach for the Texas A&M Aggies, Mike Elko has his team looking great. A major part of that is the rise of star freshman QB Marcel Reed, who while split reps with another QB, still put up solid numbers. In 8 starts, Marcel Reed threw for 1,864 yards and 15 TDs while rushing for 543 yards and 7 TDs.
Lane Kiffin has been on a roll as the Ole Miss Rebels head coach, and he has slowly established himself as one of the best head coaches in college football. Their consistent dominance has paid off as they have signed seemingly everybody in the transfer portal. The Rebels have signed the 2nd best transfer class in all of college football.
Head Coach Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers will return for the 2025 season with as much talent and hype as ever. That stout Tiger offense will be led by their talented QB Garrett Nussmeier. Nussmeier had a terrific season passing for 4,052 yards and 29 TDs adding 3 more TDs on the ground while leading LSU to a 9-4 season. However, Nussmeier won’t be by himself out there.
Jeff Lebby is starting his second year as the head coach, and he has had time to establish a culture and has been able to build the team he needs to compliment his coaching style. The quarterback room is also looking great with Blake Shapen, who missed most of last season due to injury, coming back healthier and more familiar with the Lebby offense.
Missouri has had solid recruiting over the past few years. Their recruiting gives them the chance to be a CFB playoff bust.
Texas A&M has a great recruiting program, as they are ranked 16th in our 3-year metric. Texas A&M also has a great NIL program that could land future players and recruits.
The outlook is good for the Miami Hurricanes in 2024. With a projected 12-0 record, this team is looking to step up their previously inconsistent offense and make a playoff run. Is Cam Ward the solution to Miami’s struggles on offense? It looks like it. There seemed to be great chemistry between Ward and the receiver corps in their recent spring practice.
