Just 50 days remain until SEC fans get to watch their teams kick off the 2025 season. Just six short weeks from today we will get the first college football game of the year between Iowa State and Kansas State.
The good folks at Pro Football Focus have been busy dropping content, lists, rankings and everything in between to whet the appetite of college football fans everywhere. Earlier this week they released their official Power Rankings for the season, which included the strength of schedule, bowl eligibility projections, projected wins, odds to reach the college football playoff and odds of winning the conference and national championship.
Instead of diving into each, I have compiled a side by side of where each team ranks in both PFF, as well as the ESPN FPI for several predictions and metrics.
