The Georgia Bulldogs are expected to be one of the favorites to win the 12-team College Football Playoff as well as the national championship this upcoming season.

They have a loaded roster, an outstanding coach and the hunger after missing the CFP last season. But which teams are going to be in the running to give Georgia a tough time and have a chance to win the national championship themselves?

Top 5 college football teams that can win the NCAAF title

Ohio State Buckeyes

The Ohio State Buckeyes are one of the premier teams in college football. With the Michigan Wolverines now having a significant change with coach Sherrone Moore taking over, the Buckeyes are the top dogs in the Big Ten Conference.

They have essentially two head coaches with Chip Kelly joining as the offensive coordinator. With the addition of quarterback Will Howard, they have an experienced quarterback with serious weapons and a vaunted defense. So, they should be in the running for a national title.

Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns may have lost running back CJ Baxter for the regular season but they still have an incredible roster that should be competitive. The program made the College Football Playoff last season and they have a lot of speed with its receiving core.

Quinn Ewers is one of the top quarterbacks in the nation and should be able to be a star throughout the year. However, even if the team has to have the backup quarterback get action, the Longhorns have Arch Manning waiting in the wings.

This Texas team, along with coach Steve Sarkisian, should be a menace throughout the year.

Oregon Ducks

The Big Ten Conference has the addition of the Oregon Ducks this season and coach Dan Lanning's program is going to be tough to take down. They have new additions like quarterback Dillon Gabriel and wide receiver Evan Stewart and a revamped secondary. They are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Alabama Crimson Tide

One team that could foil the Georgia Bulldogs' plans to win the national title could be the team that last defeated them in the 2023 SEC Championship.

The team may have a new coach in Kalen DeBoer after Nick Saban announced his retirement. But they were able to keep a lot of players as well and recruited a great class for this upcoming season.

With quarterback Jalen Milroe ready to take that next step as one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, this will be a great challenge for the Georgia Bulldogs to overcome.

Utah Utes

The Utah Utes are an underrated contender for the national championship as we are approaching the end of the coach Kyle Whittingham era. The defense has been one of the best aspects in the country.

With the return of quarterback Cameron Rising, after missing all of the 2023 college football season, this team should be a legitimate contender against the Georgia Bulldogs.
