2025 College Football Week 0 Top 25 Poll: Texas, Penn State, Ohio State, Clemson, Alabama headline top 10
Week 0 is one day away and that means we have five months of College Football ahead! Iowa State and Kansas State kick off the Week 0 festivities with a top 25 matchup in Dublin, Ireland ahead of a five-game slate.
It’s one of the best times of the year and with that, it’s time we go over the first top 25 poll of the season. The first AP Poll of the season lists Texas as the No. 1 team but after that — we differ.
While squads like Boise State, SMU, and Indiana all made the College Football Playoff last season and finished in the top 25, only one team from that bunch makes the Week 0 poll.
The Longhorns are reloaded. Arch Manning is the Heisman favorite, the running backs are deep, the linebacking unit is one of the best in the country and they are have veterans on the defensive line and secondary.
Texas opens at Ohio State in Week as a +2.5 point underdog and in October, the Longhorns do not play a home game. Texas goes to Florida, who is off a bye week, then to Dallas for the red river rivalry with Oklahoma, a trip to Kentucky who is off a bye, and to Mississippi State to end the month.
The final three games feature a road trip to Georgia before hosting Arkansas and Texas A&M. There’s plenty of opportunity to prove why they’re No. 1 and chances to be upset.
