The last game of the 2020 college football season has been played, so now is the time to look forward to the next season. Here you are Mike FarrellThe initial top 10 of this is based on many factors.
1. ALABAMA
Amazing, huh? Bryce Young is back as quarterback, Jahmyr Gibbs and Elias Ricks are elite transfers and Nick Saban it will simply reload in a few key locations. The wide catcher group is talented and young, and Will Anderson is arguably the best player returning to college football next season.

2. STATE OF OHIO

3. GEORGIA
The quarterback’s situation is always an issue in Georgia, but the talent will be there for the reigning champions despite some major losses expected for the NFL. The Bulldogs defense will still be bad as well as the running game and they have more weapons in the passing game than in recent memory.
*****
4. CLEMSON
Clemson’s defense will be absolutely loaded especially in attack, but it all depends on how well DJ Uiagalelei plays as a quarterback. Even though he will be way below expectations, I believe he makes enough leaps to put the Tigers in the playoff discussion.
*****
5. Utah
Not enough respect is paid Kyle Whittingham and Utes every year, but with Cameron Rising, a tough running game and that underrated defense, I like them better.
*****
6. MICHIGAN
Self Jim Harbaugh stay or go the expectations will be high but this is a team that will handle the ball at will, control the time and continue to play in elite defense despite some huge losses on that side.
*****
7. TEXAS A&M
The Aggies were a disappointment last season, but the way Jimbo Fisher recruiting, there’s no way to take Texas A&M lightly next year even with SEC West favorite Alabama.
*****
8. NOTRE DAME
Brian Kelly he’s gone and there may be a drop, but the defense should be elite and Notre Dame will always be able to play powerful football.
*****
9. BAYLOR
Dave Aranda has this Baylor team playing a tough defense and Gerry Bohanon gets better and better.
*****
10. USC
Will Caleb Williams announce it when you read this? I’m not sure. But his presence alongside a talented young roster immediately makes USC dangerous.
