From a 20,000-foot view, it almost seems like college football never changes. Georgia ranks first in both the AP poll and College Football Playoff rankings, just as it finished last season. Ohio State is the current betting favorite to win its fifth Big Ten title in six years and has excellent odds of making its fifth playoff appearance in nine years with its ninth straight top-10 finish. Clemson is the betting favorite to win the ACC for the seventh time in eight years, and its hopes for a seventh CFP appearance remain alive. Alabama loses only to top-10 teams on the road; we still freak out if the Crimson Tide lose even twice in the same season.
College football's most improved teams, big disappointments
