The 2024 college football season ushered in the beginning of a new era. A 16-team SEC and a 12-team playoff highlighted a wild year in college football. But 2025 has a chance to be even more unpredictable.
A number of the best teams from last season are undergoing a quarterback change this offseason. Teams like Oregon, Ohio State, and Notre Dame, while in the SEC, there will be a lot of new faces at the helm.

10. Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama failed to meet expectations in year one of the Kalen Deboer era, but his history suggests he’ll have the Tide contending for everything in 2025.
12. Tennessee Volunteers
Quarterback turnover is never fun, but especially in the way it went down between Tennessee and Nico Iamaleava….
