The first game of the 2025-2026 College Football Playoff will be on Friday in Norman, Oklahoma.
The headliner for either team is Josh Cuevas here. Not that he’s the most impactful player for either team, or even Alabama for that matter. That belongs to LT Overton. But, the Alabama offense has struggled without Cuevas at tight end. He’s been at practice this week, but is still listed as questionable in the initial report.
The follow up report will be released Wednesday night along with the reports from the three other games played this Saturday for the first round of the CFP.
