Shocking Surprises Shake Up Preseason AP Top 25—Who Made the Cut and Who Didn’t?
College football fans, the countdown is on! With the 2025 regular season just a stone’s throw away, the AP preseason Top 25 dropped like a bombshell Monday afternoon—and boy, do we have a feast ahead. Now, here’s a wild thought: How many of these college gridiron stars will light up the NFL stage, and how many will become footnotes—talented, sure, but somehow failing to crack the pro code? As we gear up for Ohio State vs. Texas at The Horseshoe, a clash featuring No. 3 versus No. 1 teams, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Texas leads the pack, followed by Penn State and the Buckeyes, setting us up for a heck of a season opener covered by the heavyweights ESPN and FOX. Whether these powerhouses will fulfill the hype or join the ranks of spectacular college players who never quite made the NFL cut is the question that keeps me up at night. Ready to dive into the full rankings and some juicy surprises? Don’t blink—2025 is going to be unforgettable. LEARN MORE.
The 2025 Associated Press preseason Top 25 poll is out on Monday afternoon.
