When you explore September 2025 archive, a collection of posts published in September 2025 covering major college sports events. Also known as Sep‑2025 posts, it provides a snapshot of how single games can tip the balance of entire seasons. The archive encompasses college football outcomes that directly influence the playoff picture while also tracking MEAC standings that decide postseason bids. In other words, every game listed here isn’t just a score; it’s a piece of a bigger puzzle that shapes rankings, bowl invitations, and coaching narratives.
One of the most talked‑about moments came when Texas A&M, the Aggies football program that pulled off a one‑point win over Notre Dame edged the Irish 41‑40 on the road. The Aggies used a balanced attack, leaning on Marcel Reed’s patient, physical running game to keep Notre Dame’s defense guessing. This win didn’t just add a third victory; it flipped the script on the College Football Playoff conversation, showing that even a single point can reshape the postseason map. Meanwhile, the Irish’s coach, Marcus Freeman, conceded that the playoff picture now looks bleak if the team can’t sharpen up fast—underscoring how quickly fortunes can change in college football.
Across the nation, South Carolina State, the Bulldogs who secured a surprise win over No. 19 North Carolina Central tightened their grip on the MEAC race with a 24‑21 upset. QB Eric Phoenix tossed 321 yards and three touchdowns, while Caden High caught two scores and broke the 100‑yard mark for the second straight week. The Bulldogs built a 17‑0 lead by halftime and held off late rally attempts, illustrating how decisive first‑half performance can dictate the outcome of tightly contested conference battles. This victory not only extended their winning streak to five but also set the stage for a potential conference championship run.
Both stories share a common thread: a single game can shift momentum, affect rankings, and force coaches to rethink strategies. The September 2025 archive captures that dynamic, offering readers a clear view of how aggressive play‑calling, defensive adjustments, and clutch performances intertwine to shape the broader landscape of college football and the MEAC. Below you’ll find the full set of posts that break down each game, highlight key players, and explain why these results matter for the rest of the season.
