Smith72 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted April 13 Thanks Jon! Another well researched article - full of good information about each of last year's playoff teams. I especially like your sense of humor, for example, "Hands-of-Teflon-Drops". Always entertaining! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 3 Share Posted April 13 Once again the Award for Best Editing Goes to: My Editor! Also of interest in 2025-26, is which of the close-to-but-no-cigar 2024 SEC teams make the Playoff field. 3-loss Bama and 3-loss Ole Miss will have new starters at QB. The very athletic LaNorris Sellers returns for the USC Gamecocks, backed up by another athletic QB, old friend Robby Ashford. (Robbie's passport is close to being filled with New Destination stamps. ) 4-loss LSU Brian Kelly's seat in Red Stick (Baton Rouge) is close to Red Hot. Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU because Notre Dame would never contend for a title. Hmmmm . To date, Kelly has not been able to take the Bayou Bengals to the CFB Playoffs. LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier, who threw for over 4000 yards in 2024, returns. Like Ole Miss in 2024, LSU went portal-picking in 2025. Thus, Kelly starts 2025 with the SEC's most experienced QB, who will be surrounded by a very expensive roster. Will Kelly and Nussmeier be able to win the first opening game since Kelly's arrival in the SEC? This will be no easy task with LSU opening on the road at Clemson in another Tiger's Death Valley. With 81% of the starting production back including experienced QB Cade Klubnick, Clemson is favored to win the ACC title in 2025, and some 'experts' predict that LSU will win the SEC. Like the Texas vs Ohio State opener, a loss in the opener will not destroy Clemson's or LSU's Playoff opportunity but will leave a season-long lasting impression on the Playoff Committee.
