It was just more than a month ago that Michigan ended its year title drought by defeating Washington in the CFP National Championship game. In the 36 days since then, Alabama coach Nick Saban retiredWolverines coach Jim Harbaugh left for the NFL and Ohio State hired two college football rankings coordinators, the second one a sitting power conference coach, college football rankings.

Scheme means a great deal in college football, but unless you have the quarterback and other playmakers to make it go , offensive production at a high level is extremely difficult. Ten teams ahead of the season are all but guaranteed to be explosive on that side of the football, thanks to impressive talent and returning production. Thanks to conference realignment and the anticipation of the expanded team College Football Playoff, it's paramount to score points at a premium rate considering schedules have become increasingly more difficult across the board. This is a projection that takes into account returning players, transfer portal acquisitions, offensive coaching hires and where we predict these units will be ranked in scoring production, total yardage and efficiency by the end of the season.

The Bulldogs check in rated No. Ohio State has a lot of moving pieces following the departure of Kyle McCord through the transfer portal. But quarterback Will Howard takes over and should have a number of elite weapons at his disposal, including Ole Miss running back transfer Quinshon Judkins. The addition of Caleb Downs at safety should be a huge boost. Bo Nix is gone but Dillon Gabriel and Dante Moore step in to fill the void and there should be no issues at quarterback for the Ducks next fall. There will still be some retooling, but the offense has everything it needs to be elite. In fact, Oregon boasts the No. Like Georgia, Texas returns a quality starting quarterback in the likes of Quinn Ewers. Ewers was excellent in helping lead the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff this year, even capturing a road win over Alabama. The Longhorns are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, supplemented by some quality work in the NCAA transfer portal. The biggest question for Michigan will be replacing quarterback JJ McCarthy , who took a great deal of the returning production on offense with him when he entered the NFL Draft. Still, Michigan can lean on an absolutely loaded defense next year. Taking a step forward offensively with quarterback Jalen Milroe would go a long way toward remedying those issues. That said, the bigger question is a more basic one.

With so many changes in the transfer portal since January, I've taken into account both player movement and coach movement while considering who the 25 best teams in the sport are at the start of spring practices. Here is my updated top Ohio State. No one did more to help themselves in the transfer portal or with coaching staff additions than Ohio State and Ryan Day. Not only did he add the best player available in the portal in former Alabama safety Caleb Downs , but he added former Ole Miss standout running back Quinshon Judkins to a backfield that already includes TreVeyon Henderson and Dallan Hayden. Add to this the fact that the Buckeyes have four QBs on the roster who could start — from grad transfer Will Howard to incumbent Devin Brown to freshmen Air Noland and Julian Sayin — and a proven offensive play-caller in former UCLA coach Chip Kelly — and you'll see a program built to beat Michigan and, perhaps, win the national title. But he won't have star tight end Brock Bowers or offensive tackle Amarius Mims.

Oregon State won Georgia extended its streak of weeks being top-ranked in the AP Top 25 to 22 on Sunday, giving the Bulldogs the second-longest run of being No. The Bulldogs received 54 first-place votes after they routed Mississippi in what was a top matchup on Saturday night. Georgia broke a tie with Miami, which made 21 straight appearances at No. The longest No. The Trojans spent 33 straight polls at No. Florida State was No.
