ESPN's 2025 Football Power Index (FPI) has been released, providing insights into team strengths, projected records, and playoff probabilities. The ratings assess offenses, defenses, and special teams to determine each team's power relative to an average FBS squad. Analysts discussed teams like Arizona State, which may be underestimated at rank 24 despite returning key players such as quarterback Sam Leavitt, and Clemson, whose talent raises questions about their ranking at No. 11. The analysis points to both challenges and opportunities for many programs this season as they aim for conference titles and playoff positions.
Even with a loss of key players, the Sun Devils are expected to perform well due to returning stars including Heisman hopeful Sam Leavitt.
Clemson is arguably a top-two team entering the season, surprising to see them ranked No. 11 when their talent suggests otherwise.
