Another college football season is in the books and the start of spring practice is still weeks away. That means, of course, that it’s time we started talking about the 2022 season.
But I will start with a look back at 2021. It was a strange year. Clemson, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, longtime College Football Playoff stalwarts, had the kinds of seasons most other programs dream of. For those three, however, it was a bit underwhelming as all dealt with injuries and coaching changes and roster shuffling and drama. Alabama was good, but they weren’t the Bama of old.
