ESPN’s Model Drops Shocking Forecast: Which 8 Teams Are Doomed to Struggle This Season?
Every fall, college football rolls out its red carpet, and with the 2025 season looming — like that one friend who’s always early to the party — expectations and predictions start buzzing louder than a packed stadium on game day. Now, before you get all hyped about the top dogs charging into fall camp, let’s pump the brakes a bit. Remember Ohio State’s wild ride last year, winning the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff despite a “mediocre” 10-2 regular season? Yeah, that was some cinematic stuff. So the real kicker: which teams are getting overhyped, and which ones are setting the stage to stumble? ESPN’s SP+ model has already tagged eight squads as “teams to sell” — the squads that might look shiny now but could fizzle come September kickoff. From the Big 12’s Arizona State, Iowa State, and Texas Tech, to the unexpected shuffles in the Big Ten and the SEC’s Clemson and South Carolina, there’s a lot to unpack. And then there’s Texas — possibly preseason No. 1 but SP+ isn’t buying the hype completely. Makes you wonder: are we buying into narratives or the numbers? Oh, and speaking of narratives, if you thought Kirk Herbstreit’s marriage was the real marquee headline, well… there’s a story there too.

The 2025 college football regular season is right around the corner.
