Many writers and analysts thought this season would be more wide open due to a lot of the top teams starting brand new QBs and the final fall off of the COVID-era transfer QBs. Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Miami, UGA, OU, Ole Miss, Oregon, and IU are some of those examples. Some got transfer QBs, but
LSU, PSU, Illinois, Clemson, ISU, ASU, South Carolina, Florida, Nebraska, were some of the programs returning previous quality starters. Many thought this was a lot of if, not when for teams like PSU, Clemson, LSU, etc. because of the bigger powerhouses turning over QBs and rosters.
Well, 3 weeks in, I believe there has not been one dominant team and that every team has clear weaknesses and I have no idea who would be in the National championship game. I could see a lot of teams in the top 25 making it, and even some outside of it that could make a run.
Clemson has fallen off, FSU comes out of nowhere, PSU has looked weak at some points, LSU struggled against Florida, Texas and Arch are struggling, which draws into question if Ohio State is as good as we think, UGA’s defense is struggling, Miami has overall looked good, but Notre Dame may not be as good as we thought.
We are going to learn A LOT more about teams as we head into full conference play from here on out. I think there a lot of teams that could win a title this year and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a team like Illinois or OU or some other team we aren’t even thinking about.
