- Questions raised about Georgia's chances of reaching the title game.
- Debate over whether Kalen DeBoer can lead Alabama to the College Football Playoff.
As the college football season approaches, predictions are being made about the potential outcomes for various teams. Following last year's success, where Texas clinched the Big 12 title, analysts are looking ahead to a challenging road for teams vying for the SEC title. Georgia, aiming for revenge in the SEC title game, is projected to secure a top-two seed in the College Football Playoff (CFP) and make a strong push for the national championship. Ohio State is expected to perform well, with their offense anticipated to average an impressive 42 points per game. Meanwhile, Texas's defense is predicted to improve, allowing only 16 points per game, bolstered by standout performances from UTSA transfer Trey Moore, who is favored to win the SEC Defensive Player of the Year award. However, the Utes may face challenges, including a loss to Oklahoma State, yet they are still expected to claim the Big 12 title and secure a playoff spot. Clemson's young defensive line is a concern, but the team is projected to rank among the top five in the league for run defense and points allowed. The selection process for the final CFP at-large spot is competitive, with Oklahoma emerging as a favorite, while Oklahoma State's turnover issues may hinder their chances. Additionally, Oregon State transfer Damien Martinez is poised to lead the Hurricanes to their first ACC title, while USC's performance hinges on their ability to force turnovers in their inaugural Big Ten season.
