Alabama - FSU, Auburn - Baylor, Texas - Ohio State & LSU - Clemson: WEEK ONE IS HERE! | TNR 8/25/25

Game Week is Here!

The Auburn Tigers are treating up for the Friday night road game at the Baylor Bears. Auburn Football starts the season with many unknowns, what is the biggest? Will we see three Auburn QBs? Is that just a ploy to throw a wrench in the preparations of Baylor Football?

The Alabama Crimson Tide will be on the road at The Florida State Seminoles Saturday afternoon. Alabama Football begins year two of the Kalen DeBoer era by breaking in a new QB as well. Alabama will start Ty Simpson for the first time, what are reasonable expectations for the first year starter? Florida State also has a first year starter in Thomas Castellanos. The Boston College transfer has done a lot of talking in the off season, can he back it up against the Alabama defense?

The two biggest games in the nation are The Texas Longhorns at the Ohio State Buckeyes and the LSU Tigers at The Clemson Tigers.

For Texas Football, they are playing for the first time ever as the preseason #1 team in the nation and are a 2-point road underdog. Ohio State Football is coming off winning the national championship last season. These are two of the favorites to win it all this season as well.

The LSU Tigers are 4-point road underdogs at the Clemson Tigers. LSU Football feels like they are in a “National Championship of Bust” situation and Clemson Football is a very popular pick to win it this season, as well.

Over the weekend, Farmegeddon played out in Ireland, The Iowa State Cyclones beat The Kansas State Wildcats 24-21. That game could play a huge role in the final Big 12 standings.

Another Big 12 conference contender was in action Saturday, as well. The Kansas Jayhawks were very impressive against Fresno State. Kansas Football rolled to a 31-7 win.

Welcome to the season, let’s have some fun!
