Pre-spring bold predictions for the 2024 college football season

The 2024 college football season will be perhaps the most anticipated one in recent memory. It certainly will be that in Austin after the Texas Longhorns (12-2) won a conference title and made their first ever College Football Playoff.

Several coaches and players will have a change of scenery in the upcoming season. Presumably most of those coaches and players have already found their next stop.

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer leaves Washington after taking the team to a national title game. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh departs for the NFL while Alabama legend Nick Saban will enjoy his first season of retirement.

With significant changes across the country, we could see significant shakeup atop the sport. Let’s predict what could happen in the 2024 college football season.

You read it correctly. Oklahoma beats Alabama in Norman in November. The Crimson Tide have plenty to be excited about heading into the season, but the development in Tuscaloosa has been on a downward trend over the last couple seasons. In contrast, the Oklahoma Sooners should be peaking by their second-to-last game of the year. Five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold should be hitting his stride while the Sooners’ offensive line should be more cohesive at this point. And we all know what the team brings back on defense. We called Kansas over Oklahoma last offseason. We’ll say Oklahoma beats Alabama.

Nebraska wins eight games
