As the 2025 college football season enters the stretch drive towards playoff and bowl game consideration, one thing is certain, fans can expect the unexpected.
Who can honestly say they had Dante Moore,
Trinidad Chambliss, Haynes King, and Jayden Maiava at the top of their quarterbacks lists? That’s not all, how about other unknowns, Darian Mensah, Demond Williams, Walker Eget, and Maverick McIvor out-producing the nation’s top-tier draft prospects?
More surprises in league standings to boot. Virginia atop the ACC, Cincinnati, BYU, and Texas lead the BIG12, Indiana sits#1 in the BIG10, and Ole Miss and Texas A&M pace the SEC.
These are the names/games TST will be monitoring, but there are dozens of others in action. Tell us about your favorite matchups, prospects, or teams in the forum.
