Clemson is expected to have a strong showing in the upcoming college football season due to its roster filled with first-round prospects, especially quarterback Cade Klubnik. Penn State is viewed as having a roster suited for a national title run, distinguished by having a proven quarterback, Drew Allar. Additionally, Texas holds the top position in Coaches' preseason rankings and likely will lead the AP poll. The overall landscape remains competitive, with traditional powerhouses still influencing playoff outcomes even amidst changes like NIL and transfer portals.
Despite the leveling effects of NIL and the transfer portal, we expect more of the same in 2025. Our pick for the last team standing, Clemson, won the championship just seven years ago.
Penn State, not Ohio State or Oregon, owns the roster best suited for a run at the national title. Coach James Franklin has a proven quarterback (Drew Allar).
The Tigers are loaded with first-round prospects at key positions, including veteran quarterback Cade Klubnik. Add defensive wiz Tom Allen, hired away from Penn State, and it's difficult to spot a weakness.
Texas is ranked No. 1 in the Coaches' preseason poll and could top the AP version next week.
