Which teams have to make hay this season? It’s not like they won’t have talent moving forward, but this could be the best chance in a bit for these teams to make a playoff run.

1. Michigan

— The Wolverines’ roster is as stacked as it’s been in any year since Jim Harbaugh took over, and there are no weaknesses. Harbaugh has made his playoff runs, but a national title game appearance could happen this season.

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh celebrates scoring a two point conversion against Purdue during the second half of the Big Ten Championship game against Purdue at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022.

2. Florida State

— Jordan Travis is back, as is most of a potent offense, and with Clemson having QB question marks, this could be the year to win the ACC and make the playoff.

3. USC

— Malachi Nelson is great, but he’s not proven, so this last season with Caleb Williams could be the best chance in a while, especially with the Big Ten move.

5. Notre Dame

— Notre Dame fans like to say they wouldn’t have lost any games last year with Sam Hartman under center. Let’s see if he’s the best QB they’ve had since Brady Quinn, as many think.
