2007 could end up looking like a PBS documentary on women’s suffrage by comparison.
Default on your subprime mortgages and bust out your iPod touches, because it’s time to party like it’s 2007.
Hang out with any college football fan worth his or her salt, and just the mere mention of that fabled year is bound to elicit a response of pure nostalgia and reverence.
It was, to date, the zaniest college football season on record, with an insane 62 ranked teams losing to unranked or lower ranked teams throughout the entirety of the season.

Heisman hopefuls like Arch Manning and Cade Klubnik have completely pissed the bed throughout the first half of this year, while relative unknowns like Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Ole Miss’s Trinadad Chambliss have emerged to take their places in the national discussion.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, just when you think you know everything, college football happens and makes you feel like the biggest idiot in the room.
Instead of trying to forecast what comes next, we would all be smart to just sit back and enjoy the rest of the 2025 season.
