Media news & random factoids

Consensus top 10

We kick off our 2025 college football preview season with everything you need to know before the action begins on August 23rd. From revenue sharing to playoff seeding changes, new coaching hires to massive quarterback transfers, we break down all the major storylines heading into the season.

In this college football podcast episode, we discuss the sport's new revenue sharing structure, playoff format adjustments, and rule changes (goodbye, Lanning loophole). We dive into the biggest coaching moves—from Bill Belichick at UNC to coordinator shuffles at Ohio State, Florida State, and beyond. Plus, we analyze the most impactful quarterback transfers including John Mateer to Oklahoma, Carson Beck to Miami, and Fernando Mendoza to Indiana.

We also cover the media landscape changes with Lee Corso's retirement and preview what promises to be a season where familiar faces in new places could reshape the college football hierarchy. Is this the year for Clemson's resurgence? Can Penn State finally break through? And who will emerge from the crowded Group of Five race?

Consider this your intro guide to the 2025 season.
