Can they continue that momentum with home game with Ohio State looming late in September? 8. The Irish won 9 of 11 to end last season after an 0-2 start.
His stability and production solidify the quarterback position and provides even more reason for optimism heading into Marcus Freeman’s second year. The Irish could be transformed by the addition of Wake Forest transfer Sam Hartman, who put a stranglehold on the starting job with a very strong spring. For now, the Buckeyes are third in their division. Day and Ohio State can make any number of personnel changes but won’t get back to the playoff without solving what Michigan brings to the table.

They have a Heisman contender in quarterback Jordan Travis, one of the top edge rushers in the country in Jared Verse, better depth on both lines and a very solid receiver corps. The improvements made during the Mike Norvell era paint the Seminoles as one of the fast-rising teams in the FBS and a potentially breakout candidate in 2023. If Allar can meet his expectations, the Nittany Lions could be the best team in the Big Ten. They’ll lead the way for a young but immensely gifted backfield with quarterback Drew Allar taking over for Sean Clifford and running back Nicholas Singleton ready to be one of the nation's best. Led by All-America left tackle Olu Fashanu, this year’s group has a case for being counted among the Big Ten’s best thanks to increased depth and experience. One area where Penn State has made huge gains in the past several seasons is on the offensive line, seemingly an area of concern throughout coach James Franklin's tenure. The defense has some questions, notably in the secondary. Given this spring's inconsistent production, it wasn't surprising to see the Tide dip into the portal to nab Notre Dame transfer Tyler Buchner, reuniting the former starter with new Alabama coordinator Tommy Rees.

Defensively, the Bulldogs continue to lose possible contributors to the portal but remain loaded across the board in the chase for a third national championship in a row and a place in college football history.
