The College Football National Championship was won only a month ago, but the sports books already have 2024 team win totals up for this year's college football season.
Spring practices have already begun for some programs this week with all the new faces in new places beginning to settling in. Let's see where the nation's top college football programs currently stack up in terms of expectations for the 2024 season.

SEC and Big Ten First Time Championship Matchups
If these win totals reflect how the 2024 College Football season actually plays out we could get two unique first-time SEC and Big Ten conference championship matchups this fall.
Georgia and Texas (both at 10.5 projected wins) could face off in the Longhorns inaugural SEC season if both monster programs repeat or exceed last year's results. They have the two quarterbacks leading the way in Heisman odds right now and return plenty of depth on both sides of the ball.
The Saban-less Alabama Crimson Tide now led by Kalen DeBoer at head coach will be in the rare position to play spoilers. Their 9.5 preseason win total is the lowest in 17 years.
The Big Ten could see Ohio State play against the Oregon Ducks in their first season in the conference too. That would make for a fun first season amidst the wake of the massive conference realignment college football just went through.
Michigan and Penn State (both at 9.5 total projected wins) might have something to say about that unique conference championship matchup coming to fruition, but frankly seem like they don't return rosters quite as strong as the two Big Ten favorites.
ACC and Big 12 Set to Beat Themselves Up
Neither the ACC or Big 12 have a single team with a win total above 9.5 right now. It seems that the expectation will be that both conference will lack a clear alpha program running away towards an undefeated season like Florida State did last season.
This assumption makes total sense given that eight of the highest rated programs across the two conferences will be replacing their quarterback or coaching staff this year.
Clemson returns the vast majority of their coaches, the quarterback, and several key pieces on defense, but is Cade Klubnik actually going to more of a liability than asset again this season? Can Florida State immediately pick up where they left off with DJ Uiagalelei now at the helm at quarterback?
Utah and Kansas State both return experienced coaches and the vast majority of their rosters, but still lack top tier talent at skill positions. Will they have what it takes to push them over the hump or maintain momentum as conference-winning favorites?
There are so many questions that still remain as we sit here in February with spring practices just kicking off. The great news is that we'll have plenty of college football coverage here at A to Z in the coming months as things start heating up towards the season!
