105 days means we’re exactly 15 weeks from kicking off the 2025 college football season! Today we reach Hawaii (high = 95, low = 111), the 4th Mountain West team to make their appearance. Timmy Chang’s Rainbow Warriors fell 1 win short of qualifying for bowl eligibility last season, and since 3 of those losses were by 3 points or less, that has to feel agonizingly close to achieving his first bowl in his 3 seasons at the helm. They return 58% of their productivity, including leading tackler Jamih Otis, leading rusher Landon Sims and leading receiver Nick Cenacle, but who will be getting the ball to them appears to be Bishop Gorman QB Micah Alejado with the graduation of Brayden Schager and loss of John-Keawe Sagapolutele to the portal. In fact, they’re going to have to count on that productivity with a recruiting class ranked 124th in the country and a transfer portal class ranked 130th, which adds up to the 132nd ranked incoming class for this season. It almost looks like Hawaii put as much effort into building for this season as their outgoing president did for their athletic director search. If Timmy can get them to gel quickly enough, it’s not a stretch to see them winning some or even all of their non-conference slate (Stanford, @ Arizona, Sam Houston State and Portland State), putting bowl eligibility firmly on the table (they don’t draw Boise State in the regular season). Kind of feels like they need to do this, because it’s also hard to see Chang being brought back for a 5th season if they haven’t made a bowl in any of his first four.
