Breakdown:

What does healthy mean? It means financially well-off and winning. UGA is in the top five in college football revenue, and they’ve won two straight national titles, so it doesn’t get better than that. Alabama and Ohio State are also revenue juggernauts and consistent playoff teams. Michigan is new to the playoff the last couple of seasons but in great shape overall and a top-five team from a revenue standpoint. Texas could be the surprise here, but they rake in money and are improving in wins as they head to the SEC in 2024.
