Which 2025 College Football Playoff teams have the most money? Breaking down the field's NIL spending power

Elite spenders highlight this year's CFP bracket, but some teams are doing more with less

Elite spenders

Ohio State
The Buckeyes were not shy about the $20 million price tag associated with their roster a year ago. That investment put Ohio State effectively in its own universe, and while other programs will catch up, it will always have an advantage in the revenue-sharing era as perhaps the most valuable and recognizable brand in the sport. Acquiring and retaining an inordinate amount of college football's biggest stars -- Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs chief among them this year -- comes with an astronomical financial burden that Ohio State has proven more than willing to tackle.

Oregon
Oregon's relationship with Phil Knight has made playing for the Ducks a lucrative opportunity. With the Nike co-founder committed to doing what it takes to win a national championship, Oregon continues to inch closer to a full breakthrough. That could come as soon as this season, but if not, it is probably only a matter of time. Dan Lanning stacked the most loaded recruiting classes in program history on top of each other and has the No. 3-ranked haul in the 2026 cycle, per 247Sports. The aggressive NIL operation makes his elite talent acquisition both possible and sustainable.

Texas Tech
There is a new player in the college football arms race, and it resides in West Texas. Billionaire booster Cody Campbell made a bold investment into Texas Tech football ahead of last offseason's transfer portal cycle, paving the way for the Red Raiders to acquire game-changing newcomers like David Bailey, Lee Hunter and other immediate contributors responsible for delivering the best season in program history. Campbell's financial backing sets Texas Tech up to compete perennially at the top of the Big 12 and perhaps stockpile enough talent to contend for national championships.

Miami
Miami has been at the forefront of the NIL picture since Mario Cristobal took the head coaching job in 2022. The Hurricanes' efforts reached a new level last offseason when they went all-in on acquiring top transfer Carson Beck on a $4 million deal and turned heads with a $2 million annual commitment to five-star offensive line recruit Jackson Cantwell. Cristobal has long been one of the sport's most talented recruiters. He will only become more dominant if the Hurricanes continue to spend like an upper-class program.

Texas A&M
Texas A&M athletes across all sports received $51.4 million in NIL revenue from July 2024 to June 2025 with an extreme majority of that distributed across men's sports. The most telling part of that number is that the Aggies nearly tripled their war chest from the year prior. Is it a coincidence that the surge in NIL spending came in conjunction with Texas A&M's best season on the football field since 2012? Probably not, considering prized transfer pickups KC Concepcion and Mario Craver were two of the SEC's most productive wide receivers and proved instrumental in elevating the offense to a playoff-caliber level.

Big spender

Ole Miss
Before he departed for LSU, Lane Kiffin became almost synonymous with NIL and the transfer portal at Ole Miss. It was his aggressive approach in those regards that helped the Rebels gain a first-mover advantage, string together the best seasons in program history and emerge this season as a true contender for championships at the conference and national levels. The question now is whether Ole Miss will sustain that willingness and ability to spend at such a competitive rate.

Good, but maybe not as elite as you think

Alabama
Not all that dissimilar to professional stars leaving money on the table to allocate to their supporting casts, Alabama players at the start of the NIL era in many cases were willing to take a discount to play for Nick Saban. While that allowed the Crimson Tide to spread its wealth and build deep, immensely talented rosters, it also meant the program would have to play catch-up after Saban's retirement. To be clear, Alabama is doing just fine on the recruiting trail (Kalen DeBoer just signed the nation's No. 2-ranked class), but its payroll is a hint more modest than some of the other programs in its realm.

Georgia
As a recent two-time national champion with arguably the top active coach in college football, Georgia can afford to be a bit more selective with how it allocates its NIL dollars. Playing for the Bulldogs is such an immense draw that Kirby Smart can outrecruit his competitors with less reliance on paychecks and more emphasis on the potential to win titles and find success down the line in the NFL. Still, Georgia spends handsomely where it needs to, and it hit a home run last offseason in acquiring SEC receiving leader Zachariah Branch through the portal.

Oklahoma
Brent Venables was among the coaches this year who took a pay cut and gave part of his salary back for NIL and revenue-sharing purposes. While the $1 million he agreed to forgo is only slightly more than a drop in the bucket, it showed that Oklahoma recognizes its needs and is willing to be creative in how it funds its roster. The Sooners may not be at the top of the spending ladder, but it is not far off and proved its competitiveness in that space when it went big in the transfer portal and made splashes like landing John Mateer and then-highly regarded running back Jaydn Ott.

Solid spender

Indiana
The Curt Cignetti hire and immediate success that came with it invoked a jolt of energy into the Indiana football program and, with it, a surge in investment. The Hoosiers flexed their financial muscles when they paid up to secure Cignetti with a long-term contract. They spent significantly in the transfer portal to fill roster holes and, most notably, acquired a Heisman Trophy finalist in Fernando Mendoza. And with contributions from Mark Cuban and ideal alignment inside the athletic department, the Hoosiers appear to have staying power as a college football new blood.

Feels like that would make the “for cause” part of it harder but they could probably spin it as them still investigating the situation during that time. And whatever he did tonight probably removed any leverage he’d have in contesting this.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

During an argument with his wife, Moore threatened to kill himself. He then drove to – and broke into – the home of his assistant, where he held a knife to his own throat and threatened to kill both himself and the staffer.

He was then intercepted at a local church after his wife provided his phone’s location to the authorities. He is now in protective custody. Just a tragic chain of events for all involved.

Also didn’t apparently realize the social media “likes” are public either. So the infidelity isn’t a surprise. The infidelity with a staffer was apparently the tipping point - especially if said staffer somehow ended up with a pay raise at some point.

Mostly because the industry I'm in, it's kinda dumb and just makes things harder. That said they exist, and for a lot of people they have benefit.

Notre Dame wants union protection, but doesn't want to be hamstrug by actually joining a union. They have many reasons for this, some valid (they don't have to pay union dues or live by any union rules)... some not so valid (they're so special and unreplaceable). But they've made so many business decisions about EXPLICITLY not joining a union that when they're burned by those decisions, the not-so-valid reasons totally cloud the fact that the valid reasons are the reasons that got in their way. Those valid reasons, the things that cost them that they don't want to give up, are the reasons why they aren't getting full protection from their union.

IDGI, they're famously a football independent. What does the ACC owe their football team?*

Based on some rantings below, IJKA comes up with his playoff proposal:

Posted by ijustkrushalot <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=ijustkrushalot' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on December 8, 2025, 12:10:35, in reply to "CFB conference championship weekend"

Issues with the existing order are numerous... here's my attempt to solve some of this.

Basic rules:
- 28 team playoff
- Every conference gets to participate
- Each conference has a set number of guaranteed slots: 4 for the B1G and SEC, 3 for the ACC and Big 12.
- Conferences are 100% responsible for identifying their selected
- The G5 (G6 next year with the Pac-12 'restarting') each get 1 guaranteed slot.
- There are 6 at-large spots available to the P4 conferences + Notre Dame. No more than 2 spots can go to any given conference
- There are 3 (2 next year) at-large spots available to the G5/6 schools, no more than 1 per conference for these.
- G5/6 conferences are expected to complete their conference championship games on Thanksgiving Weekend, in exchange Week 0 is expanded to include games played in G5/6 stadia (along with existing international and FCS games)
- The 8 G5/6 schools selected for the playoff get seeds 21-28 and play a preliminary round the first week in december, with 4 teams advancing to the main draw
- The top 8 overall seeds get a bye to the 2nd round.
- The remaining 12 teams play the 4 G5/6 winners in the "First Round".

Based on that, here's my bracket for 2025:

Considerations:
- Why only 2 additional at-large per conference? Well it seems like 6 teams for the SEC/Big Ten is more than enough and helps prevent poll bias. This year it means Houston gets tossed out and Vanbertilt gets put in. This probably is a win in terms of viewership and entratinment value bu I'm sticking with my proposal.
- Why is Duke in? The ACC decided with FIVE!! teams tied for 6-2 that Duke was the best, and they won the title game, therefore the ACC decided 8-5 Duke is the best team in the league. Talk to them, I didn't make that choice.
- How did you choose the 3 G5 at larges below? North Texas and UNLV seemed deserving enough. I pulled up Jeff Sagarin's website and squinted at it and picked ODU out of a hat. Go ahead and pick someone else if you'd like.
- Why not make Notre Dame play in the G5 round since they aren't in a conference Honestly? they are a power school and if you put them in the G5 group they're pretty much guaranteed to be better than the 2nd best runner up every single year, meaning they are guaranteed to be in the playoff every year.
- How do conferences choose teams: I don't know man, up to them. I really don't care, but I wouldn't recommend emulating the ACC. The Big Ten talked about having a 3vs6 and 4vs5 game to settle the final two spots. That could be compelling TV... Iowa winning at Oregon would have put them into the playoff this year, but at the same time you could lose an at-large team if they get smacked around.
- What about the ~waves arms~ rest of college football? Good question. I think you'd still have demand for bowl games or some sort of posteason for everyone else that's used to it... at least from a TV standpoint. I doublt you'd get more than 5-10,000 fans in an MLS stadium... you could try and do 4 team tournaments (semi's on campus, finals someplace warm) to spice it up.

I don't think you can feasibly expand the playoff much beyond what is outlined above though...

Is there still a committee sadly yes, but some of their guesswork is taken from them... ultimately they select 8-9 teams and then line everyone up. I thought about giving seeding preference to conference champs, or a guaranteed bye to P4 champs... but.. well, Duke.

Also, top 3 teams left out of the above:

they've been playing football since August, they are past the point of diminishing returns on practices. they need time off to reflect on how to improve more than they need the practices.

the narratives around this shit drive me nuts, in no universe does any team need to continue for the sake of practices at this point.

maybe 3-4 of those practices are dedicated towards this "youth development" that's apparently so important.

you really think that matters in the grand scheme of things after 5 intense months of football nearly every day?

bowl games are great and i'm glad we're in one and hope the players take it seriously, but the idea that the practices are an advantage gained is make believe.

making a bowl game + practices and having *something* to feel good about is a really big boost for your next year.

making the bowl is a big deal, having recruits visit during the practices in say 2010 when there was one signing day in February was an advantage vs not being in a bowl, but there's no correlation between those extra practices and the team being better the next year.

i'm just tired of that nonsense for today. no one is getting better enough in the next 15 practices for it to matter. i don't care what the coaches say about it. it's not real.

when you're running end stage Zook, Year 3 Beckman or Year 4 Lovie out there, you're going to say whatever you can to stay a believer. but none of it matters if your coach is dum dum that can't organize the program, which is why you're eating shit at 5-6 in the B1G West in the first place.

During game weeks how often are the younger guys getting meaningful reps during practice? Probably not a lot. In addition, what about those guy running scout team so they're not even practicing Illinois' stuff.

a lot of this stuff is backwards looking (survivorship bias) and is impossible to quantify. i would argue after 5 months of high intensity football, no one on the team is going to get a lot out of another 15 practices. it certainly not a cure for what ails us.

despite the 15 extra practices last year, our record was worse this year. how much did it help?

Further along you get with the top 4-8-16-whatever teams, the more the "first team out" people aren't going to care about the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl (or whatever).

Then, toss in the "oh, but we simply MUST invite the ugly girl down the road from a smaller, but no less worthy conference" and you're accelerating the process even more.

I want the G5 included. the best G5 teams are good teams and I want their seasons to mean something. I hate how we went from P5 to P4 to P2. the sport shrinking is not great.

on the other hand, ND, texas, and Vanderbilt are clearly better than both tulane and JMU, and if any 2 of those teams were playing ole miss and oregon, they would be much better games (on paper).

- Everyone gets a team in
- conferences get guaranteed numbers of teams based on performance (1 MAC, 4 B1G...)
- conferences are 100% responsible for choosing tteam(s). Dont like Duke, well that was the ACCs process
- G6 season starts on week 0 and their conference championship games are Thanksgiving weekend. This weekend is a preliminary round of the playoff for them so most get weeded out of the main draw... but they have a real, tangible path.
- you have a small number of at large bids.. I guess.

a couple questions

- conferences get guaranteed numbers of teams based on performance (1 MAC, 4 B1G...)

like a UEFA coefficient that constantly changes based on how the conferences perform? or a pre-negotiated number per conference? I could get down with the UEFA coefficient model.

- G6 season starts on week 0 and their conference championship games are Thanksgiving weekend. This weekend is a preliminary round of the playoff for them so most get weeded out of the main draw... but they have a real, tangible path.

what are you envisioning here? the top 4 G6 conference champs play to whittle them down to 2, and then those 2 make the main playoff? it's a little unfair to the better G6 teams, but it actually adds meaningful games for more teams and conferences.

UEFA, but set in advance of the year, and can be dickered with between seasons. Much like the current UEFA champions league format, it's heavily weighted to advantage the leagues with on-field success and off-field influence... but it still provides a path for the Champion of the Gibralter Football League to be champions of europe next year.

Correct, rather than sit around and decide whether to take Tulane or JMU.. (had the ACC not fucked this up royally), and justify why Kennesaw or WMU is left out...

Just put them all in...

hypothetically next year you'd have:

WMU @ Tulane
KSU @ JMU
UNLV @ Boise St (different leagues next year)... those 3 move on to the main draw, everyone starts teh year with a real chance.

I am guessing Jim Phillips is on board with this plan *

Sure, you’ll occasionally get a team like Duke that sneaks in, but who cares? Any team that really deserves a shot will still easily qualify for one of the at-large bids. A three loss Bama team not getting into the tournament is not any sort of injustice that anyone should care about.

People who know college football, talk to me about IU’s D-line

Posted by DT <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=DT' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on December 7, 2025, 8:18:54, in reply to "CFB conference championship weekend"

How did they manage to put together a unit that could consistently dominate the LOS and disrupt play for an elite team like OSU?

It’s not that unusual for mid-level teams to build top offensive lines. For whatever reason, seems like a lot of 3-star guys can be developed on that side of the ball and coached up into top units. Witness the extended periods of success Iowa, Wisky, Nebraska had doing that.

But the top d-line units in my recollection are almost always at the schools landing 30 5-star recruits per year—OSU, Georgia, Bama, LSU/Florida/FSU back in the day, etc.

So how did IU in 2 years get a unit that looked like one of the old SEC powers dominating an overmatched Big Ten team from the early BCS era? Is the defensive coordinator a wizard? Brilliant NIL transfer recruiting? Unbelievable luck? Or is OSU’s offensive line secretly trash and they just haven’t played anybody any good until now?

Insane what they are doing in football. Can’t stand their hoops, but good on their football. Jealous of what they have, but I think what Illinois is doing is right. From reading below, who cares about sustainability, they just won a B1G title & will be the #1 playoff seed.

Edit: Also had a HS teammate a million years ago who played at Indiana, so never had that strong hate for their football program.

I admit it, I don't hate them...that's a helluva team and Cignetti and staff have done something very special. Manhandled Illinois and more than stood toe to toe with Oregon and now tOSU. I don't have to like 'em, but I'll be damned if I don't respect them proving that last year was not just a fluke.

A team like OSU winning the conference or making a playoff run or even winning it all doesn’t move the needle. They’ve done it before and they will do it again. OSU was a better program than us yesterday and will be a better program than us tomorrow.

Having another moribund program like Indiana leapfrogging us to become a title contender is objectively bad. Why would we want another team to move themselves above us in the pecking order? It’s a zero sum game. All that does us push us down.
