THE Ohio State Buckeyes enter the 2025 season as the defending champions but with that success, comes 14 players drafted to the NFL and ranked BEHIND Penn State in the pre season poll. Of course Lamborghini U ( aka Texas Longhorns ) with Arch “no starch” Manning leading the charge are the preseason favorites. 10 SEC schools in the AP Top 25 with Georgia at 5th, although they are #1 in team driving offenses with over 25 cited since 2023. One source attempted to blame it on the high performance cars involved in many of their NIL deals. Have to admit, the Kia Sportage NIL fleet ( made in Georgia ) did NOT help the Georgia State Panthers in 2024.
As the Piedmont Padre and Zimmern’s Twin research, analyze, assess, explore ( Ok ZT, we know for you that means eating 6 hot Krispy Kreme Donuts with coffee and a Ouija Board from 1974 ) the teams and matchups for week 1, we hope you will watch the Week 0 Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland between the Kansas State Wildcats and the Iowa State Cyclones. Pretty sure the first time either of these fan bases have traveled further than Peoria, Illinois.
In reviewing the AP Top 25, it is noted Tennessee is the lowest ranked of the 10 SEC teams in the Top 25. Probably a good time to display this…..
Will note a few teams came under the scrutiny of the NCAA this year and will be on some form of probation including Cal Berkley ( for the way that guy named Wesley treated Forest Gump ), Wisconsin at Madison ( something to do with illegal acts with cheese ) and of course the Michigan Wolverines…..their punishment looks something like this…..
We will be back for Week 1 and love the line up to get us kicked off for College Football 2025. In the mean time, you watch your 2024 favorite CFB player in some NFL Preseason game just to get your appetite wet and think about your fantasy draft……ok, you can watch Darts for 1 more week!
