Here is the result without any extra formatting or HTML tags:
Penn State is my early No. 1 for next season. I’m skeptical they can actually pull it off, but on paper, James Franklin’s team deserves that status given how many players are returning. Key returnees: QB Drew Allar, RBs Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen, DE Dani Dennis-Sutton, DT Zane Durant, S Zakee Wheatley.
Franklin’s inability to beat elite foes is well-documented, but he’ll really have no excuses in 2025. Nearly all of Penn State’s best NFL prospects return, most notably Allar and 1,000-yard rushers Singleton and Allen.
The Nittany Lions, who very nearly reached this year’s national championship game, are my early No. 1 for next season.
That’s in contrast to other top-ranked teams such as Ohio State (losing most of its lineup), Notre Dame (losing the middle of its defense) and Texas — which does have Arch Manning but will need to figure out who will protect him.
