When the Faculty Soccer Playoff championship sport ended, a brand new actuality began to set in: Georgia had received, Alabama had misplaced and the season had ended.
Amid the numerous ideas, a stunning futures-ticket money (thanks, Georgia!) and the unhappiness of the offseason setting in, I couldn’t assist however look forward to 2022. As a fan of the game, as a gambler and as somebody who can’t assist however obsess over school soccer, it’s solely pure.
The rankings for each the semifinals and championship sport as soon as once more underwhelmed, largely as a result of the identical groups discover themselves in these video games time and time once more. That’s at the very least one principle, and it’s one. If that's certainly the case, properly, it appears distinctly attainable that the game will turn into much more high heavy in 2022 and past.
Should you might guess Alabama (2/1 at BetMGM), Georgia (5/2) and Ohio State (6/1) vs. the sphere proper now in 2022, what would you do? I do know what I'd do. I'd take these three and never look again. Give me a value, and I'll pay it. However till then listed below are some offseason storylines for bettors to ponder.
The place will QB Caleb Williams land?
The choice, after all, can have a dramatic influence on betting odds, win totals and extra. Whereas many, together with myself, assume that USC is the probably vacation spot, NIL has modified loads. If a college can pony up a couple of million dollars in sponsorship alternatives, it might change all the pieces. As of now, even and not using a crew, Williams is 8/1 at BetMGM to win the Heisman.
What's going to Jim Harbaugh do?
The thrill on the nationwide championship sport was that Harbaugh is significantly contemplating bolting to the NFL after main Michigan to the Faculty Soccer Playoff. Whether or not that's respectable or not shall be decided within the coming weeks. The Raiders appear to be the almost certainly vacation spot, though they could have firm. Michigan, after slicing his pay in half earlier than final 12 months, might additionally pony up a large new contract. This one might go both manner.
Who shall be Georgia’s beginning QB subsequent fall?
This one is fascinating on a couple of fronts. Whereas former walk-on Stetson Bennett led the Bulldogs to a nationwide title, he was noncommittal when requested about his plans to stick with this system or switch this offseason. (Granted, the feelings of all of it have been nonetheless recent.) JT Daniels, who was anticipated to be the starter this 12 months, remains to be on the roster; as is Brock Vandagriff, the gifted true freshman poised to take over. Keep tuned, as there’s intrigue galore.
How is Brian Kelly going to assemble a aggressive crew?
Long run, I just like the Kelly rent at LSU even when he isn’t probably the most likable human. However when you think about how a lot expertise this crew misplaced and the way few gamers the Tigers had for his or her bowl sport, 12 months 1 underneath Kelly may very well be a wrestle. LSU should get artistic with the switch portal and search for some fast fixes as this system seems for secure floor.
