Michigan football finished 8-5 last season, but expectations around Ann Arbor are quite high heading into the 2025 season. The Wolverines ended the season in 2024 with big wins against rival Ohio State and Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Michigan has a 25.3% chance of making the College Football Playoff and a 1% chance of winning the championship, according to ESPN. So, you're telling me there's a chance?

Oregon begins the Big Ten's top tier entering 2025. That tier mirrors the 2024 standings, which doesn't come as a surprise. The Ducks are an odds-on favorite to return to the CFP (57.5%), with a 4.3% shot to win the national title.
