Who will miss Ohio State vs. Notre Dame in the 2025 CFP National Championship?Continue Reading…
The 2025 College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship between Ohio State and Notre Dame will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated matchups in recent college football history. However, for many fans, there will be significant disappointment as some powerhouse programs will fall short of reaching this coveted final.
One of the primary contenders that could miss out on this matchup is the University of Alabama. Despite their perennial dominance under head coach Nick Saban, Alabama’s chances might be hindered by a tough SEC schedule and the emergence of other elite teams. Their recruiting success and strong history in the CFP make them a natural favorite, but in 2025, they may not make it past the intense competition within the SEC.
Another team that may miss out is Georgia. The Bulldogs, currently reigning as national champions (as of 2023), will likely remain a top contender. However, the unpredictability of college football, combined with the rising talents in the Big Ten and other conferences, may prevent Georgia from securing a playoff berth. The SEC is highly competitive, and losing to teams like Alabama or LSU could cost Georgia a spot in the national championship game.
Clemson, once a dominant force in college football, could also find themselves on the outside looking in. Their reign in the ACC could face challenges from teams like Florida State, who have been making strides toward reclaiming their prominence in college football. A loss to a program like Florida State or even a slip-up against other ranked opponents might keep Clemson out of the 2025 playoff picture.
Finally, Michigan—another Big Ten power—could find itself on the outside if it fails to maintain consistency or falls short in key games against Ohio State, especially in a high-stakes rivalry game.
While the 2025 CFP will feature star-studded teams, not all traditional powers will make it to the National Championship.
