Peach Bowl 2025 preview: Arizona State vs. Texas
House of the rising Sun Devils
Arizona State heads into the Peach Bowl 2025 as one of the most impressive teams this season, making a strong case for a top spot in the College Football Playoff. Many expected the Sun Devils to finish last in the Big 12 after a rough 3–9 campaign last season. Still, they defied expectations by winning the conference in their second season under head coach Kenny Dillingham.
With a dominant 45–19 victory over No. 16 Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship, Arizona State enters the Peach Bowl with an 11–2 record and a first-round bye. Key players like running back Cam Skattebo and quarterback Sam Leavitt have been instrumental in their success. Now, the team is riding a wave of momentum as they aim for their second-ever Peach Bowl victory.
Longhorns look to corral another win
Fresh off a decisive 38–24 victory over Clemson, the Texas Longhorns are striding into their first-ever Peach Bowl with a 12–2 record. Quintrevion Wisner and Jaydon Blue led a dominant ground game in the first-round matchup, while quarterback Quinn Ewers kept things steady. Texas will look to build on that momentum as they face an Arizona State side that hasn’t played since December 7.
The last time the Longhorns met the Sun Devils was in the 2007 Holiday Bowl, where they notched a 52–34 win. Can history repeat itself in Atlanta?

Best Peach Bowl TV plans
My go-to choice for watching college football this season has been Hulu + Live TV, which remains unchanged heading into the playoffs. It offers every ESPN channel and ESPN+, so you’ll have full coverage of the Peach Bowl and all other remaining bowl games. But it’s worth noting that Hulu + Live TV is expensive, especially after its October price hike.
For a significantly cheaper alternative, I recommend the new ESPN Unlimited streaming subscription. At just $29.99/mo., it includes all ESPN channels, getting you the Peach Bowl and the National Championship Game for a fraction of what you would pay for a standard live TV service. Though if you only need access for game day, you can grab a Sling TV Day Pass, which grants 24-hour access to ESPN for just $4.99.
