Plus: Is neighboring Texas State leveling up in the world?
The dust from the 2024 college football season and the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff has barely settled, but yet, it’s once again time to predict what’s to come in 2025.
Per SEC analyst Paul Finebaum’s imagination, that prediction points towards Texas Longhorns success in the near future, according to Finebaum’s comments earlier this week.
“I would pick Steve Sarkisian,” Finebaum said during a morning show appearance this week, per Inside Texas. “I think he’s probably set up the best of any of those who don’t have a title. We’re still getting used to Ryan Day being a national champion It changes the narrative a little bit, doesn’t it?”
Doesn’t it?
We can only hope.
