The college football season hasn’t yet started, but several prominent analysts have speculated which teams will earn places in the 2025 College Football Playoff

The Alabama Crimson Tide have been predicted to have a big 2025 season, according to a college football analyst.

Josh Pate laid out his College Football Playoff outlook, and while he has Clemson in the field, he doesn't expect them to make a deep run. The On3 analyst placed the Tigers as the No. 5 seed, which would give them a home matchup against Boise State in the opening round. Pate has no doubt about that one.
