Summary

Spring practice is right around the corner so McElroy decided to look at the 12 teams from last year's CFP and tell you who he thinks could return to the CFP in 2025. Will the new quarterbacks at Ohio State, Notre Dame and Texas be able to win 10+ games? Can SMU, Arizona State and Indiana repeat the Cinderella seasons from a year ago, can Tennessee and Oregon handle losing so much production and are Clemson and Penn State in the best position? McElroy breaks down strengths, concerns and the schedule for each of the 12 teams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
