Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns are at the top of the first university football survey of the Associated Press pre-season while the rankings were published on Monday.
Manning began his first season as a starting quarterrier, taking over for Quinn Ewers, who chose to become a pro and enter the draft of the NFL. This is the first time that Longhorns have been classified n ° 1 in the pre-season pre-season survey.

It is far from being easy to voted as a n ° 1 team of the country and to keep this record undefeated throughout the qualifiers for university football.
For Longhorns, it will be almost impossible from the start. Texas will start its season on August 30 on the road against Ohio State. Buckeyes were classified n ° 3 in the first survey and enter the 2025 season as reigning national champions. Texas also has Florida and Georgia on its dry file this season. Bulldogs are n ° 5 in the survey and the Gators are n ° 15.
Penn State was classified n ° 2 in the country. Drew Allar returns to direct the Nittany Lions under the center. Nicholas Singleton will be in the rear field to provide additional fire power on the ground. Defensive winger Dani Dennis-Sutton will conduct the accusation on defense.

The Ohio State will return Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs to his list. The team will probably start with the recruit of Redsirt Julian Sayin as a leaving quarter.
Clemson is the best classified ACC team in the AP survey. The Dabo Swinney team sends Cade Klubnik to the quarter. He could be one of the first players caught in the NFL of next year’s NFL. TJ Parker and Peter Woods anchor the defensive line of tigers.
Georgia will always be a threat to win the national championship with Kirby Smart at the helm. The team suffered a wave of injuries at the end of the 2024 season, which probably cost them a chance in the title. The Bulldogs return with Gunner Stockton under the center and the NOAH Thomas wide receptors and the Zachariah branch as wide reception targets.
