2025 Season Set for Upsets with Playoff Expansion

The 2025 college football season is anticipated to feature unexpected upsets due to playoff expansion, raising the stakes and potential surprises similar to Notre Dame's unexpected loss to Northern Illinois last season. The Washington Huskies have started their spring football practice, marking the second year under head coach Jedd Fisch, with improvements in player fitness and recruitment, including significant transfers like Arizona's Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei. Jedd Fisch's team is looking to improve from their 6-7 record last season, with over 90 players participating in spring practice. Wisconsin and Indiana are also in the midst of their spring practices, with fans and coaches eager to see how recruits and returning players perform. Wisconsin's coach Luke Fickell is encouraged by the maturity and performance of his team, particularly younger players like Grant Dean and Nick Clayton. South Carolina is preparing for their Garnet and Black spring game, focusing on building depth behind starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers.
