One month into the 2025 college football season, the quarterback landscape looks nothing like we expected. Preseason stars like Cade Klubnik and Arch Manning have stumbled, while unlikely names such as USC’s Jayden Maiava and Ole Miss’ Trinidad Chambliss are stealing the spotlight. Here’s where every Power 4 quarterback stands as October begins.

Following the NFL's final roster cuts, a definitive list of college football's top talent producers has emerged. Alabama leads all universities with 62 players on active NFL rosters, solidifying its place as a premier talent factory. Close behind are Georgia and Ohio State, tied with 57 players each. In total, 214 schools are represented, with even small DIII programs contributing to the professional ranks, proving that top-tier talent can be found at all levels of the game.

The College Football Playoff is expanding to a 12-team format for the 2025-26 season. The field will consist of the five highest-ranked conference champions and seven at-large teams. The top four teams will receive a first-round bye, while seeds 5-12 will face off in the first round at the home stadium of the higher seed. The new schedule will see games from late December through the national championship on January 19 in Miami.

The Iowa State vs. Kansas State "Farmageddon" rivalry is taking a global stage in Dublin, Ireland, for its 109th consecutive game. This unique matchup between two nationally ranked Big 12 teams is also a bittersweet farewell. The rivalry's continuous streak, dating back to 1917, will end in 2027 due to conference realignment, a casualty of the sport's focus on money over tradition.
