The Bulldogs open the season at the top, with Carson Beck’s return playing a pivotal role. Beck’s impressive stats of 3,941 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and six interceptions reassure Georgia’s position.
With the top recruiting class and the glory of back-to-back national championships, the Bulldogs are on a winning streak to add to its cause.
Still, the road is rocky, with the added pressures of facing an unfamiliar foe in Texas and the usual opponents. Starting the season, Georgia will host No. 16 Clemson, which will eventually face additional ranked foes in No.5 Alabama and No. 6 Ole Miss as the season progresses.
No. 2 Ohio State appears strong again after reaping from the transfer portal. Although the Buckeyes lost starters receiver Julian Fleming, runningback Chip Trayanum, and 12 other players in the portal, they gained six key players, including Caleb Downs, former five-star safety/ Alabama, Julian Sayin, former five-star quarterback Alabama, Quinshon Judkins, Will Howard, Seth McLaughlin, four-star center, and Will Kacmarek, a three-star tight end.
Parity is the reflection of the top ten. Any one of these teams could turn into something special.
No. 11 Missouri rounds out the bottom 15, ending with No. 25 Texas A&M.
