- Predicting the Final Records for All 136 College Football Teams for 2025
The start of college football's 2025 season is just days away. And with games starting on Saturday for Week Zero, along with a full slate in Week 1, it's time to project the final records for every team and predict what the standings for every conference will look like by December. In Athlon's projections, no team will go undefeated. However, preseason favorites in Clemson, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, and Georgia will all come close with double-digit victories. In the Group of 5 rankings, Boise State and Navy are the only teams projected to reach 10 or more wins in '25.
