Boise State Gearups for the 2025 College Football Season as Top Contender in G5 Conference
Boise State University's Broncos and Tulane University's Green Wave are gearing up for an exciting 2025 college football season, with both teams generating significant buzz among preview publications.
Boise State, a Mountain West Conference powerhouse, is aiming for a historic third consecutive conference championship, a feat achieved only once before in the conference's history. The Broncos' strong performance is underpinned by a deep and talented roster, boasting 21 players on Athlon Sports' Preseason All-Mountain West teams. Key players such as quarterback Maddux Madsen, all-purpose player Sire Gaines, wide receiver Latrell Caples, and tight end Matt Lauter have been recognized, alongside defensive standouts like Braxton Fely, Marco Notarainni, and A'Marion McCoy [3][5].
Tulane, based in New Orleans, is one of four teams in the top 60 of each preview publication, indicating a wide-open Group of Five landscape. The Green Wave's ranking ranges from No. 43 to No. 48 across various publications [1]. Jon Sumrall, Tulane's coach, will lead the team as they aim to build on their recent success, having made three American championship game appearances in the past three years [2].
However, Tulane's offense faces some challenges, with the departure of quarterback Darian Mensah and running back Makhi Hughes. Navy, another contender, is also preparing for a season without their top three tacklers, although they have talent and depth returning in their defence [1].
Boise State's defence will benefit from the return of key players such as Ty Bennefield and A'Marion McCoy, while their offence will be bolstered by the presence of Blake Horvath at quarterback and Matt Lauter among Maddux Madsen's targets [1].
As the 2025 season approaches, both Boise State and Tulane are expected to be competitive, according to Athlon, Lindy's, and Phil Steele preview publications. The outcome of their seasons, particularly in the College Football Playoff, will depend on how they perform against non-conference Power Five opponents and their ability to maintain dominance amid conference changes [2][3][4].
While Boise State reached the No. 8 rankings in the past season and made it to the College Football Playoff, they suffered a defeat against the Nittany Lions. Navy, on the other hand, won 10 games last season, including a victory against Oklahoma in the Armed Forces Bowl [1].
As the countdown to the 2025 season begins, football fans can look forward to exciting performances from both Boise State and Tulane, with each team poised to make a significant impact in their respective conferences and potentially in the College Football Playoff.
- In the upcoming 2025 college football season, both Boise State University's Broncos and Tulane University's Green Wave, players from non-power conferences, are generating buzz, especially in the American-Football world, as they aim for success against Power Five opponents and potentially a spot in the College Football Playoff.
- Boise State's Broncos, hailing from the Mountain West Conference, are seeking a historic third consecutive conference championship, bolstered by their strong roster consisting of players such as quarterback Maddux Madsen, wide receiver Latrell Caples, and defensive stars like Braxton Fely and A'Marion McCoy, all recognized in sports-analysis publications.
- Tulane's Green Wave, based in New Orleans, is also gearing up for the season, amid challenges in their offense due to the departure of key players. Despite this, their competitive spirit remains high, as indicated by their rankings among top 60 teams in preview publications like Lindy's and Phil Steele, signifying a dynamic Group of Five landscape in NCAA-Football.
