COLLEGE FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FUTURES HANDICAPPING
The Clear Favorites
There are three clear favorites for the title in 2022-23 and, to no one’s surprise, they are Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State. These three teams sit between +200 and +450, with the Crimson Tide slight favorites over the Bulldogs.
Both teams return a lot from last season, when Georgia beat Alabama for the title, but Alabama will have one of the Heisman Trophy favorites under center with Bryce Young. Ohio State is right there and should have one of the best offenses in the country. These three teams run themselves at this point and they will always be three of the five favorites to win the title each season.
The Challengers
There is a group of teams sitting between +1200 and +5000 that has a few teams who I could see being there come January. USC at +2000 is very intriguing with new head coach Lincoln Riley and QB Caleb Williams who should be in New York for the Heisman Ceremony.
Clemson had a down 2021, but they are restocked and are the fourth favorites currently. QB DJ Uiagalelei will have to take a huge step if the Tigers want to get back to the College Football Playoffs.
The best rivalry game next season may take place on October 8th when Alabama hosts Texas A&M. The Aggies are one of the favorites to win the title and head coach Jimbo Fisher is in a shouting match with Nick Saban over NIL deals and recruiting. It will be a game with massive implications and plenty of hate. There are a lot of talented teams in College Football these days, but the season will most likely come down to the three of four teams that are usually there.
