The 2025 college football season has been full of surprises through seven weeks.
Indiana football and coach Curt Cignetti are back, and look even better than they were in 2024. The Hoosiers are coming off a 30-20 road win over No. 2 Oregon, vaulting into a program-best No. 3 ranking in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Then there’s Ole Miss and Texas A&M, who are the highest-ranked teams in the SEC so far, at No. 4 and No. 5 in the Coaches Poll, respectively.
One team that hasn’t been a surprise, however, is Ohio State, the defending national champions. The Buckeyes are undefeated so far this season and have looked like the most complete team in the country so far.
Here’s a look at each matchup including top-25 teams in Week 8 of the college football season, including predictions and odds for each game:
