The College Football Playoff’s four-team format is entering its final season. With nine seasons’ worth of data to examine, a few trends stand out.
Though 24 teams won 10-plus games in 2022, the field of contenders is actually much smaller.
Eight of those 24 teams came from the Group of 5, and only one G5 team has cracked the playoffs in nine seasons . Of the remaining 16 teams, five have short odds — including Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, USC and Michigan.Two have caught my eye for a few reasons.The Nittany Lions won 11 games last season, including a convincing Rose Bowl victory over Utah. They return four starters along the offensive line, headlined by future top-10 pick Olu Fashanu.
They’re loaded at the skill positions, boasting a one-two sophomore punch at running back and a deep receiver room that was bolstered by the arrival of Dante Cephas.That sets the table perfectly for Drew Allar, Penn State’s highest-rated quarterback prospect since 2004 .With a blend of a potentially prolific offense, a defense returning a ton of experience in the back seven, and a 55 percent blue-chip ratio , I love the Nittany Lions to finally break through under James Franklin at these odds.
They could be even better this season with at least two All-Americans candidates in Jared Verse and Fentrell Cypress II . Their two most challenging games are away from Tallahassee , but the Seminoles have the goods to punch the program’s first CFP ticket since 2014.
