This is the 2025 Big Ten football preview, the 2nd season of an 18-team coast-to-coast juggernaut that stretches from East Lansing to Eugene. Penn State looks to be the team to beat—loaded with veteran starters and fresh off a playoff run—followed closely by Ohio State, which returns championship momentum and a friendly home-heavy schedule. Oregon (new to the conference) slides in at No. 3, buoyed by explosive offensive playmakers and quality transfers a year after winning the conference, while Michigan reloads behind its veteran core and fresh leadership after hoisting the national title.Teams like Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, USC and Nebraska each boast enough experience and play-makers to keep them in the hunt, and traditional powers Wisconsin, Rutgers, Minnesota, Washington, UCLA, Northwestern, Michigan State, Maryland and Purdue are all scheming for wrinkle plays and upset weekends.On the individual side, numerous all-conference teams are anchored by stars like QB Drew Allar (Penn State), RB Makhi Hughes (Oregon via Tulane), RB Nicholas Singleton (Penn State) and WR Jeremiah Smith (Ohio State) on the first team, with a laundry list of elite linemen, linebackers and defensive backs filling out the lineups.It all adds up to a 2025 Big Ten season loaded with weekly marquee matchups, deep divisions, and more playoff–caliber rosters than ever before.

As the dust settles on another whirlwind offseason, the Big 12 heads into 2025 poised for its most wide-open campaign in over a decade. With Texas and Oklahoma long gone—and the league's new blood from Cincinnati, UCF, BYU and Houston fully integrated—the balance of power is ready for a shake-up unlike anything we've seen since the conference's rebirth. Returning production is the name of the game, and no one checks that box better than Kansas State, which is always strong on the line of scrimmage, and this year has a veteran QB to roll with. Oklahoma State will look to bounce back after last year's disappointment, but we never expect Gundy to be down for long. Meanwhile, TCU and Texas Tech remain dangerous dark horses; Horned Frog fans are counting on a breakout season from their QB and receiving corps, and the Red Raiders' revamped team could become the league's premier CFP threat. Don't discount UCF, either—Scott Frost wasn't successful at Nebraska, but he's had success in Orlando before.Key matchups already stand out on a schedule littered with marquee dates and potential playoff resumes. Week 3's Kansas State at UCF could set the tone for who controls the top of the standings, while Oklahoma State's late-season showdown at Texas Tech promises to be an early Heisman watch party—each side boasting quarterbacks more than capable of putting up video-game numbers. In November, the true litmus test arrives when TCU hosts Kansas State in a primetime slot that could decide who enters the Big 12 title game with a chance at the school's first playoff berth. And speaking of the championship, don't sleep on the ever-underrated West Virginia squad; their blue-blood passion and high-octane spread rushing offense make them an ideal spoiler in the conference's final month.With media rights money pouring in and the playoff field at 12 teams, the stakes have never been higher for Big 12 programs looking to crash college football's biggest party. Which team will seize the chaos created by conference realignment and portal mayhem? Will a traditional power re-emerge to reclaim supremacy, or will a scrappy new contender write its own chapter in Big 12 lore? Strap in, because this season's mix of veteran savvy, portal fireworks and marquee games promises to deliver non-stop drama from Week 1 kickoff through crown-deciding kickoff in Arlington. Whether you're riding with the Wildcats, cheering on the Utes, or backing the up-and-coming Red Raiders, 2025 in the Big 12 is set to be a pure, unfiltered thrill ride—one that you won't want to miss a single snap of.
The Southeastern Conference's 2025 football season promises to be one of the most compelling in recent memory, blending established powers with emerging challengers across the league's East and West divisions. At the top of the hierarchy, Alabama enters Year Two under Kalen DeBoer with a revamped offense led by rising junior quarterback Ty Simpson and a receiving corps dotted with true freshman stars. The Tide's veteran secondary—anchored by Domani Jackson and Keon Sabb—should generate turnovers, but Alabama's ability to replace departed playmakers like Jalen Milroe and Justice Haynes will be tested in hostile environments such as Florida State and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, reigning East champion Georgia faces its own transition, having lost a quartet of first-round defensive picks and quarterback Carson Beck, thrusting Gunner Stockton into the spotlight. If Georgia's offensive line coalesces quickly and their rebuilt front seven can replicate past dominance, the Bulldogs remain a threat to run the table and return to the College Football Playoff.Elsewhere in the East, Florida's Billy Napier looks to leverage a healthy DJ Lagway and a power-running duo in Jadan Baugh and Ja'Kobi Jackson to vault the Gators back into SEC contention, while Tennessee reloads rather than rebuilds under Josh Heupel, fielding a new QB battle and a defense hungry to sustain its recent success. South Carolina and Missouri lurk as potential dark horses—the Gamecocks with a ferocious “bend-but-take” defense under Clayton White, and the Tigers riding momentum from consecutive double-digit win seasons under Eliah Drinkwitz. In the West, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier returns after a Heisman-caliber campaign, but must navigate early road tests at Clemson and Ole Miss behind a retooled offensive line. Ole Miss itself, guided by Lane Kiffin, seeks to replace NFL-bound stars with redshirt sophomore Austin Simmons and a dynamic downfield attack. Auburn's Hugh Freeze, Arkansas's Sam Pittman, and Texas A&M's Mike Elko each believe veteran leadership and portal acquisitions can push their programs into the upper echelon of the West, while Kentucky and Mississippi State chase incremental gains to break long-standing slumps.As win totals hover between 7.5 and 9.5 games for the conference's marquee programs, bettors and fans alike will be poring over the odds: Alabama at 9.5, Georgia at 9.5, LSU at 8.5, and Texas A&M at 7.5, with futures on the SEC Championship ranging from +390 for Georgia to +5,000 for Missouri. Sleeper picks like South Carolina (+1,800) and Arkansas (+12,000) could reward those willing to roll the dice, while dark-horse narratives are abundant in Columbia, Fayetteville, and College Station. From the Iron Bowl and Egg Bowl to marquee non-conference clashes, every week carries playoff implications and bets on win totals, record projections, and conference-championship futures. Whether you're drafting your pick'em bracket, targeting over/unders, or simply seeking expert analysis, the SEC's 2025 slate offers drama, storylines, and betting angles that will keep college football junkies glued to their screens from Week 1 through the SEC Championship Game.
