CBS Sports gives Maryland football little hope in latest Big Ten Power Rankings

When looking at Maryland football's schedule in 2025, there is no Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, USC, or Iowa -- it's bound to be a better year, right? Not according to CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli.

The college football analyst came out with his post-spring Big Ten Power Rankings , and has the Terrapins ranked No.

17 in the Big Ten with only Purdue in the rearview mirror.

There is no way around saying it's going to be a new-look Maryland team this year.

The question being, will this new team gel? Mike Locksley lost most of his key impact players from last season.

All four QBs are gone, RB Roman Hemby, and WRs Tai Felton and Kaden Prather, among others, have all left College Park.

But all hope is not lost.

The schedule isn't daunting, and Maryland recruited a top-25 class this past cycle.
