SEC Football By Connor O'Gara Published: May 28, 2025 · 8:00 AM EDT Like him or not, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has become the face of College Football Playoff expansion. It’s OK to feel somewhat conflicted about everything that Sankey brought to the the table. As a college football fan without a true dog in the fight other than wanting an entertaining product, I’m conflicted.

If you could redo the 2024 College Football Playoff with straight seeding instead of having the 4 highest-ranked conference champions earning first-round byes, there would be some significant differences. Let’s back up a second. I fear that you, reader of this column, are assuming that I’m about to take away Ohio State’s national title or claim that the Buckeyes got a fortunate draw by having a seeding process so flawed that it was changed after 1 season of the 12-team Playoff. Nope.

College Football By Connor O'Gara Published: May 25, 2025 · 8:00 AM EDT Finally, we’ve reached the end. OK, that was a bit of a tease. After all, we’re not at the end of the offseason. We still have nearly 100 days to go until the first full Saturday of SEC football. We’re at least down to double-digit days. That’s a win. Also a win? We’re at the end of my countdown of the 100 SEC things that I can’t wait to see this season.

That headline is slightly misleading in both directions. There are no longer 100 days until SEC football Saturdays. That’s good news. That day was Thursday. That’s when this countdown began. The bad news is that despite how that headline finished (with “50-26”), we are not a mere 50 or 26 days away from the start of college football. It’s a bummer, I know. But fortunately, you’ve come to the right place to pass the time.

Congratulations, reader of this column. You’re officially double-digit days away from the first real SEC football Saturday of 2025. That’s wonderful. You’ve still got a ways to go until you’re yelling at your TV or declaring that your quarterback needs to be in the Heisman Trophy conversation, but don’t worry. I’ve got you covered. Each day this weekend, I’ll rank 25 of the SEC football things that I’m most excited to see in 2025.
