Alabama comes back with another new-look team. Mac Jones is now a New England Patriot, but Bryce Young is the next phenom that Nick Saban has waiting at quarterback, and the rising sophomore has already impressed observers. Tailback Brian Robinson moves to the RB1 slot, and the Crimson Tide has also reloaded on both lines.
Oklahoma looks like the top team in the Big 12, but a real problem for any team out of that conference is that no team seems like they can come through the schedule with just one loss. With teams like Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Oklahoma State lurking, the schedule is a gauntlet for everyone. There’s also the question whether Big 12 teams are really ready to play at an elite level, as the Sooners have gotten blasted when they’ve come into the College Football Playoff.
Clemson has the advantage of a very reasonable ACC slate, and their overall schedule is very friendly. However, Trevor Lawrence is gone. Can D.J. Uiagalelei take over the job seamlessly? He played very well in the team’s loss at Notre Dame, particularly in the second half. Wideout Justyn Ross returns to Death Valley, and the defense has reloaded. So, just like Alabama, the Tigers look ready to bring in a brand new quarterback…and contend once again.
What’s the buzz around Iowa State? Well, the Cyclones bring back a strong group of defensive starters, and they have some All-America potential in their offense. They have to stop Oklahoma, of course, but they also have to navigate the rest of their Big 12 schedule, all while proving that they can win week in and week out.
Ohio State brings back a ton of talent, although quarterback Justin Fields is now a Chicago Bear. Several replacements looked solid in spring football, but the team still needs one to emerge.
Texas A&M comes with Haynes King as the presumptive starting quarterback after the departure of Kellen Mond, but the Aggies don’t expect any wrinkles in the passing game. Isaiah Spiller comes back as one of the top tailbacks in college football. However, the road to a national championship for SEC West teams means not just knocking off Alabama but also holding off the rest of a tough division.
Georgia starts with Clemson but after that moves into a very manageable schedule. James Cook and Zamir White return to the backfield, and the Bulldogs have talent galore at wideout. Quarterback J.T. Daniels is already on the short list for the Heisman Trophy after some solid play a year ago, but the team’s best unit might be its defense. But can they get by Florida and the SEC West champion?
