I’ve been seeing lots of Preseason rankings lists. Top 5 or 10 can be fun, I guess. Top 25 is seeming more & more arbitrary every year. Top 12 is what matters right now. Frankly, all the lists are just a big ol’ waste of time until the games are being played, but summer & the offseason exist for time to get wasted.

So here’s your chance to Predict the Playoffs. Give us your best picks for which 12 teams will make the 2025 Playoffs & their seeding. 

Here’s mine so you can call me crazy (or just plain dumb). Besides the 3 “other” champs that have to make it & Notre Dame everyone else is B1G or SEC. 

1. Ohio State (B1G Champs) 
2. Texas (SEC Champs) 
3. Notre Dame 
4. Clemson (ACC Champs) 
5. Georgia 
6. Penn State 
7. Oregon 
8. BYU (Big 12 Champs) 
9. LSU 
10. Boise State (Highest Champ Non-Major Conference) 
11. Alabama 
12. Illinois
