The college football landscape is evolving, with Army, Navy, Liberty, and New Mexico State changing conferences, while UMass returns to the MAC. Previews for the upcoming season highlight storylines from independent teams, notably Notre Dame and UConn. Despite their smaller roster, Notre Dame is expected to be in a strong position following a successful previous season. The state of Oregon State and Washington State is being addressed as they navigate recent challenges and aim for stability in 2025. Overall, the independence of teams is dwindling as re-alignments shift the competitive landscape in college football.
"The indie party has thinned out significantly in recent years. It looks like we'll be down to Notre Dame and UConn by next year."
"These four teams bring loads of storylines to the table. Notre Dame might be more loaded this season than it was during last year's earlier-than-expected run to the national title game."
