2025 College Football Thread

We're at the point now where it can't be a coincidence that every bye team has lost in the expanded CFP. The schedule really needs to be addressed.

Sample size is too small IMHO. Let's see in another 2-3 years. Despite the results of these last two years, I think if you polled all coaches, the majority would say they'd rather have the bye and need fewer victories to win the title.

On a related note, I really like this final four. Different teams from the same ol' same ol' and good storylines.

Indiana is the best story in college football. Ole Miss, jilted by its coach and led by a QB who got no major offers and wasn't even the starter early this season, is a great story. Lots and lots of "experts" felt Miami shouldn't have even been in the tournament. Oregon, often a contender but never a champion; will this be their year?

I'm rooting for that famed and feared football school, Indiana! But I really won't be rooting against anyone.

All four semifinalists are led by a QB they got from the portal.

Moore is an interesting story. He committed to Oregon, UO signed Nix, so, Moore flipped to UCLA, then transferred back to Oregon and was willing to sit a year behind Dillon Gabriel.

Chambliss was brought in from D2 to be a backup, and he was willing to do that to get an FBS P4 opportunity. The Ole Miss starter went down injured, and the rest is history for Chambliss. He has the chance to be the first ever starting QB to win a D2 and D1 championship.
