AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- College football is finally back, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
According to new projections from OddsTrader.com, Week 1 of the 2025 season may already decide the fate of some of the nation's top programs.
While the College Football Playoff is still months away, three opening-week matchups stand out as potential elimination games — contests that could determine whether a team earns a playoff berth or is left on the outside looking in.

Three Week 1 Showdowns to Watch
- No. 1 Texas @ No. 3 Ohio State – Aug. 30, noon ET
- No. 9 LSU @ No. 4 Clemson – Aug. 30, 7:30 p.m. ET
- No. 6 Notre Dame @ No. 10 Miami (FL) – Aug. 31, 7:30 p.m. ET
"These games may be played in August, but they could have December-level consequences," said Garrett Chorpenning, analyst at OddsTrader. "The results could decide which teams earn first-round byes or even make the playoff at all."
Why They Matter
The College Football Playoff now features a 12-team format, but the margin for error remains razor-thin.
Teams that stumble early often find themselves fighting uphill the rest of the season. OddsTrader's research shows that even one Week 1 loss can derail playoff hopes, especially for schools like Notre Dame that don't compete in a conference championship.
