TEMPE -- The 2025 Arizona State football season is nearly here - one major indication of this is the AP top 25 poll releasing on Monday morning. While the meteoric rise from bottom-tier power four program to top 25 power was unforeseen this time last year, the staying power as a ranked team was fully expected this time around.
