The 2025 college football season is nearing and the preseason AP Poll will be released in August. Can Michigan bounce back after last year’s fall from No. 1? Will the Buckeyes, the defending champions, ignite a new dynasty? Do the Longhorns have high expectations with Arch Manning as the new QB1? Is Clemson still overrated or finally ready to prove people wrong?
Once the rankings are in, my hot takes will follow.
