2024-2025 NCAA Football My Rankings: After Week One

 NCAA Football is back as Week 0 is scheduled to kickoff. It has been a while since I did my Rankings and a sports related post. 

1) Georgia Bulldogs (1-0) Consistent powerhouse with a consistent Coach. They just missed the playoffs last year and took their frustrations out on Florida State. They dominated Clemson in their opener.

2) Ohio State Buckeyes (1-0) Ohio State is always close to contention and with a loaded roster and stable coach Ohio State looks like a team to beat. They won their opener easily over Akron 2-6 like they were expected too.

3) Oregon Ducks (1-0) Powerhouses with no coaching changes top my list. Oregon won 24-14 over Idaho wasn't impressive but they will get better.

4) Texas Longhorns (1-0) Fresh off of an impressive season Texas elevates its program by joining the SEC. Texas blanked Colorado State 2-0 but will be tested against Michigan.

5) Alabama Crimson Tide (1-0) A new era starts but Alabama has a proven winner to replace Saben. They shutout Western Kentucky 63-0 but things will get tougher.

6) Notre Dame Fighting Irish (1-0) They opened the season with a win over a ranked SEC team. Favorable schedule Notre Dame could be ranked pretty high most of the season.

7) Penn State Nittany Lions (1-0) they dominated a rival at West Virginia last week. Penn State should have a solid team

8) Michigan Wolverines (1-0) won their tune up over Fresno State. They clash with Texas this week.

11) Missouri Tigers (1-0) sailed past Murray State. They have a favorable SEC slate. The Tigers should have a good season.

12) Utah Utes (1-0) beat Southern Utah 49-0. The Utes are in a conference where they can be contenders.

13) Oklahoma Sooners (1-0) dominated Temple 51-3. The Sooners like Texas making the switch to the SEC.

14) Oklahoma State Cowboys (1-0) won their warmup. They stayed behind and have to be considered a contender in their conference.

15) Tennessee Volunteers (1-0) crushed Chattanooga 69-3.  NC State this week will be more of a test.

16) Miami Hurricanes (1-0) made a statement with their win over Florda 41-17. The schedule lines up for Miami to have a good start.

18) Arizona Wildcats (1-0) beat New Mexico 61-39. Faces Northern Arizona next before things get more challenging.

21) LSU Tigers (1-0) lost to USC in a close one. Then lost a star RB in practice. Tigers get to regroup against Nicholls. 

22) Louisville Cardinals (1-0) showed off against Austin Peay 62-0. They were in the ACC Championship game last year.
