With the 2025 college football season approaching quickly, analysts and experts have been preparing their predictions for the season. Sports expert Zak Herbstreit sees a clash between the Bulldogs and Penn State in the 2025 National Championship game.

According to Herbstreit's prediction, Georgia will face LSU in the opening playoff round after skipping the first round. Should they advance, a rematch with Ohio State awaits in the semifinals, bringing back memories of their 2022 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl battle. Herbstreit projects a win against Ohio State will put Georgia against Penn State in the 2025 national championship, where they will fall short to the Nittany Lions.

Teams wrap up their fall training as the 2025 season draws near. With the clock to kickoff winding down quickly, analysts rush to pick their top contenders.

The season starts Aug. 30 when Georgia hosts Marshall. ESPN will broadcast the afternoon matchup at 3:30 p.m. EST.

The expanded playoff structure grants top-ranked teams a first-round pass. This change might boost Georgia's shot at reaching the final game.
