Texas No. 5, Ohio State No. 1 in final 2025 preseason SP+ rankings

[Blake Munroe]

 SP+ is a tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency. It is a predictive measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football, not a résumé ranking, and, along those same lines, these projections aren't intended to be a guess at what the AP Top 25 will look like at the end of the year. These are simply early offseason power rankings based on the information we have been able to gather to date.

Separating this from the 10-2 bargain thread was savvy!  I'm personally all in for an undefeated season.  SP+ at 9 wins feels bearish! 10-2 is what to take to Vegas.

I like that the FPI table also includes chances of going undefeated to calibrate exuberance. A 9% chance is pretty reassuring to me! SP+ would curb that enthusiasm a bit but then we can explain away preseason data 😎
