Thirty-six bids have been handed out for the College Football Playoff in the format's nine years of existence. They've been handed out to just 14 programs. Last season, TCU came out of nowhere and became the latest to join the club.

Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke warms up before an NCAA college football game against Florida State, Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, in Miami Gardens, Fla.Thirty-six bids have been handed out for the College Football Playoff in the format’s nine years of existence. They've been handed out to just 14 programs. Last season, TCU came out of nowhere and became the latest to join the club.

Last season, both of Cristobal’s coordinator hires failed spectacularly, especially with Josh Gattis on offense. All of the promise Miami showed in 2021, particularly from quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, was nowhere to be found. On defense, Miami displayed lackluster tackling, gave up too many big plays and showed a lack of effort at times.Cristobal has put in a lot of work crafting this roster, and there’s plenty of talent.

It’s unlikely, but I can envision a scenario where Miami is 7-1 entering its final four games, three of which are on the road. That could put the Hurricanes at least in a position to get to the ACC title game — or even better. Crazier things have happened .It’s the final Big 12 season for Texas and Oklahoma and they’re the two betting favorites to win the conference.

Wisconsin is the betting favorite to win the Big Ten West and has +1000 odds to reach the playoff, but I like Iowa to win the West in the conference’s final season with divisions. Whether it’s veteran Ethan Garbers or five-star freshman Dante Moore at quarterback, Kelly has plenty of track record to indicate that UCLA will be just fine on offense. The Bruins brought in prolific Ball State transfer Carson Steele at running back. He should pair up with T.J. Harden to make up a dynamic backfield. Additionally, receiver J. Michael Sturdivant is one of the most underrated transfer pickups in the country.

Last year, Tennessee was UGA’s biggest challenger and South Carolina took some big strides, but I’m pretty bullish on Kentucky this season. Before last year, offensive line play had been a strength for Mark Stoops’ program for years. It’s likely the make-or-break position for UK this season, because the defense has the potential to be one of the better units in the SEC.
