Pat McAfee Highlights South Florida Bulls’ Historic College Football Rise

ESPN analyst Pat McAfee has highlighted several critical storylines in the 2025 college football season during College GameDay. He emphasized Clemson's upcoming game against Georgia Tech as a 'must-win' due to Clemson's early struggles and injuries, despite being slight favorites. McAfee also praised the South Florida Bulls for their impressive early season victories over ranked teams, noting their potential to claim a College Football Playoff spot as the top Group of Five team. Meanwhile, McAfee offered a stark prediction for the Florida Gators, forecasting only four wins due to their challenging schedule filled with top-ranked opponents, a view supported by ESPN's FPI projections. Off the field, College GameDay also spotlighted a touching story of Josh Holman, a special education teacher whose cancer-stricken wife inspired a viral classroom tribute to college football; the CFP Foundation recognized Holman and his school with a $5,000 gift to support his impactful work. These narratives reflect both the competitive intensity and the human side of college football this season.
