“Can a Dark Horse Team Shock the College Football World? ESPN’s Bold Prediction for the 2025 National Champion Revealed!”
Along with Ohio State, the Longhorns are among the two teams most likely to start the season No. 1 in the preseason polls. They’re second on Schlabach’s list. They’ve got Arch Manning taking over for Quinn Ewers at quarterback, their linebackers are spectacular, and they’ve been to two straight CFPs. There’s plenty to like. But SP+ wasn’t ridiculously high on them last season — they finished seventh overall — and they currently rank 103rd in returning production. To believe in the Horns as a top-two team is to believe in the Arch Effect, I guess. That might turn out to be real, but SP+ obviously isn’t programmed for it. They start out seventh.
