When College Basket reaches its annual Crescendo and Major League Baseball takes the first steps in their marathon print against October, College Football’s long way to kickoff of a new season is only active behind the scenes.
The last week of February and the first weeks in March, the opening of spring camps around the country will take, and at the end of April the competitions will be locked in for the 2025 season.
Along with early preparations for another season, the months will be expected and expectations that have been built up for each campaign. Each season gives high hopes for teams that will inevitably vacate.
Watch out for these three candidates because of becoming a victim of this phenomenon 2025.
Colorado
From the moment Deion Sanders was employed in December 2022, no program has had more hype disproportionate with its results than Colorado – and that includes Buffaloes Solid 2024 season.
Although Colorado finished over .500 and reached a bowl game for the first time since 2020 – and during the first full season since 2016 – Buffs’ CV was quite intermediate. A week 1 nail pieces against FCS Powerhouse North Dakota State, as well as victories over Baylor and Texas Tech, were the high points. Colorado, however, avoided the Big 12 Championship game qualifications Arizona State and Iowa State and were boat outlets in Alamo Bowl against Byu.
With Heisman Trophy winner Travi’s Hunter leaving, Colorado has huge holes to fill both on crime and defense. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders is also on his way to the NFL and leaves his coach father to lead a team with another signal caller behind the center for the first time since Jackson State went 4-3 in the spring of 2021 Covid season.
Colorado needs a variety of transfers to fill the gaps in a hurry; Otherwise, a first half of the season with BYU, at TCU, Iowa State and in Utah could in succession judge the buffs to the lower half of the Big 12 position.
Indian

Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn images Hoosiers enjoyed a dream season in Curt Cignetti’s debut campaign and won 11 matches for the first time in program history and reached the first 12-team college football game.
Indiana also went 1-2 in her last three matches, with the two losses that came against the only ranked opponents that Hoosiers met all season. The 38-15 and 27-17 defeats in Ohio State and Notre Dame were both more inclined than the final score specified.
At the same time, of the 11 victories, only a 20-15 decision came against 7-5 Michigan against the competition which ended the season with a record better than .500.
Cal Transfer Fernando Mendoza comes from a 3 004-farm season passing with 16 touchdowns against four intercepts. He should be a nice fit in Indiana’s productive crime. However, the physical gap that plagued IU in its losses can leave Hoosiers as the Big Ten also-rang against a much tougher ligasche, who sees early dates against Illinois, Iowa and Oregon after a Charmin-Soft non-conference slate (Indiana State, Kennesaw State and Old Dominion).
Southern California

Mandatory Credit: Matt Krohn-Immagn Pictures It has become a tradition as synonymous with the transition from summer to fall when Labor Day Weekend Cookouts and Halloween decorations go up too soon: USC enters a new season with Buzz thanks to its recruitment and transfer supplement, and then not expected before October.
The Trojans were undoubtedly better than their 7-6 record 2025 and lost games in Michigan, Minnesota, Maryland and Washington, plus a loss of home overtime to Penn State, with a combined 20 points. That, in combination with a patchwork range to beat Texas A & M in Las Vegas Bowl, could restart the HYPE machine for the Trojans again.
But an emigration in the transmission portal that included a lot of defensive Linemen-r the area of concern for the program-promoting to run back quinten joyner and great game receiver Zachariah Branch, Kyron Hudson and Ducins Robinson looms by far over USC’s second season in the large ten.
The Trojans facilitate 2025 with the FBS newcomer Missouri State, Clay’s return to Coliseum as head coach for Georgia Southern and a trip to last year’s Bottom-feeder Illinois. USC needs that route to find its identity; Otherwise, a three-game distance in Illinois, Michigan, and at Notre Dame could restart the familiar waiver after USC during the better part of 15 years.
