Okay, here’s my take on that article, adapted to fit our brand voice:
Alright, folks, with the 2024 college football season officially in the books, the anticipation is already building for what’s coming this fall. But before we get there, we’ve got a crucial spring season ahead of us, not to mention the always-exciting spring transfer portal window. And let’s not forget the big change coming with the revenue-sharing model – it’s all shaping up to make for another wild year in college football.
So, with the winter transfer portal closed, the early signing period wrapped up, and the coaching carousel mostly done spinning, let’s take a look at seven teams that are primed to grab everyone’s attention next season.
First up, we’ve got Auburn. It’s been a minute since the Tigers have had a winning season, but the work Hugh Freeze has been putting in this offseason might just be the spark they need. They’ve landed a really impressive high school class, and their transfer portal moves have been huge, with big names like quarterback Jackson Arnold (from Oklahoma) and wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. (out of Georgia Tech) joining the squad.
Last year, the Tigers matched their worst record in a decade, going 5-7, and struggled against ranked teams going 1-4. But looking ahead to 2025, Auburn’s schedule has some intriguing matchups. They’ve got some of their toughest games at home, with Georgia, Missouri, and Alabama all set to visit. They also start off on the road with a game at Baylor, followed by back-to-back away games against Oklahoma and Texas A&M to open their SEC schedule.
There’s a lot of buzz around Auburn and a possible turnaround based on the talent they’ve got on both sides of the ball. But let’s be real – if they don’t show some real progress in ’25, the pressure will be on Coach Freeze. They haven’t missed a bowl game two years in a row since the 90s, so this season is pretty important to avoid a repeat of last year.
