Every year, dating back to 2014, we here at CBS Sports have taken the opportunity to celebrate the impending arrival of college football with a comprehensive list of stories, predictions, burning questions, names and games to note for the upcoming season. This 100-Day Countdown is as much a part of our year as media days or the start of fall camp; we’ve wrapped up spring practice but not quite gotten into the business of putting pen to paper when it comes to our final projections for what’s to come in the season ahead.
May is a time for meandering, discussion and debate as we consider what’s ahead in a 2025 college football season that will no doubt be loaded with results that prove us wrong and performances that make the sport feel right. In 100 days we will have college football, and even if there are only a handful of FBS games on the Week Zero slate, the schedule includes a conference game between conference title hopefuls in a foreign country — Kansas State vs. Iowa State in Dublin, Ireland. When you consider those factors, it’s hard not to be romantic about this big, dumb sport that we love so much.
So, we’re back at it with 100 names, games and talking points to set the stage for the season ahead as we sit 100 days away from Week Zero in the 2025 college football season.
