Every summer since 2007 I have created an intricate set of college football predictions for each upcoming season. This year is no exception, as I will be using my blog over the next few weeks to publish my 19th annual college football preview guide which will contain 19 entries in all. Without further ado, here are my predicted bowl match-ups for the 2025 season. Note, the parentheses next to the teams in the 11 CFP games represents that team’s predicted playoff seeding.
