Get ready to tailgate: A dream road trip to see every AP Top 25 team this season

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:38:22 GMT

AP’s dream college football road trip is back, starting earlier than ever before.To recap: The goal here is to map out a schedule of games worth traveling to during the upcoming season — with only two rules. First, we must see every team in the AP’s preseason Top 25 at least once. And second, the travel between games must be reasonable in the time available. Long drives are OK, but if you’re at a night game in Oregon, you’re not getting to SEC country for an 11 a.m. kickoff the next day.Safe travels!GAME 1: No. 13 Notre Dame vs. Navy (Aug. 26)Might as well start at the very beginning with the first FBS game of the entire season — in Dublin, Ireland. Brian Newberry coaches his first game after taking over at Navy following the firing of Ken Niumatalolo.GAME 2: No. 17 TCU vs. Colorado (Sept. 2)Hopefully the jet lag has worn off because Week 1 will be the toughest travel schedule of the trip. It begins with Deion Sanders’ debut as Colorado’s coach — on the...
