Aug. 27, 2025 / PRZen / AUSTIN, Texas -- 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
"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.
