The best offensive and defensive strategies of the top 5 teams
1. Georgia
“I think Georgia’s offense will have a good combination of shotgun, three receivers and one back. The Bulldogs also have plenty of tight ends, but I think their wideouts will be the most dangerous. Dominique Lovett, Colby Young and Dillon Bell Everyone on the field. Quarterback. Carson Beck Cook also plays running back while keeping the ball in the air. Trevor Etienne Get down to the ground.
I recommend a nickel look for Georgia’s defense. Michael Williams To get off the edge, linebacker Smael Mondon and CJ Allen He patrols the center of the defense and relies on his star safety. Malachi Starks He gets behind the defense and chases the ball.” — Jordan D. Hill, Dawgs247

2. Ohio State University
“OSU will definitely have 11 offensive linemen (one tight end, one running back) and three wide receivers on the field.” Emeka EgbukaFreshman Sensation Jeremiah Smith And either Colonel Tate Or Brandon Innis — and spinning Trevyon Henderson and Quintion Judkins Stuck in traffic.
“Defense? There are a few different combinations, but the 4-2-5 is the best base. Ohio State has a lot of talent on the defensive line, especially in the secondary. Linebackers? We’ll see.” — Dave Biddle, Bucknuts247

#3 Oregon
“I would go for an aggressive playbook with a lot of RPO action. Dillon Gabriel As a quarterback, you want to take advantage of his running threat and have a safety net in place if he gets injured. University of California, Los Angeles, Dante Mooreas his backup. Use Gabriel’s feet, speed and playmaking ability as a receiver to open up the middle of the field and unleash his fury on the running game.
“Defensively, Oregon’s secondary is loaded with talented cornerbacks and ball-winning safeties. They can use their one-on-one coverage skills to pressure the QB from the edge and through the middle.” Matt Prem, Duck Territory

#4 Alabama
“With the hiring of Cullen DeBoer, Alabama’s offensive scheme should be a lot of fun to play. DeBoer will run a pro-style offense with a spread concept. He’ll put his playmakers in space, hand them the ball and let them do their job.” Jalen Milroe He’ll have a central role at quarterback, but a combination of promising stars at running back and receiver should make the Tide’s offense one of the more fun teams to play in the new game.
“Defensively, Alabama will switch to Kane Warmack’s 4-2-5 swarm defense in 2024, which is subtly different from Nick Saban’s traditional 3-4, pressure-first, man-coverage defense. Much of the Tide’s personnel is built to work in Saban’s defense and is talented enough to run any playbook. In that sense, it could be fun to try different schemes and coverages.” — Cody Goodwin, Bama247

#5 Texas
“Go Air Raid: One of the most highly rated quarterbacks in the game Quinn Ewers If that were your team, you would be looking to get the ball in the air and into the Longhorns’ receiver room, which is like a track team. Texas has a talented running back who is more than capable of making an impact, but they will need to take advantage of their veteran quarterback with a dangerous receiver room playing behind one of the best offensive lines in the country.
“Defensively we will use a 4-2-5. Anthony Hill Jr.Despite the lack of standouts on the interior defensive line for the Longhorns, they need one of the best linebackers in the game to make an impact on the run attack, and Texas can be confident in their safeties because of their deep defensive backs after a season in which they missed out on a national championship because of their secondary. Andrew Mukuba and Derek Williams Jr.and Malik Muhammad and Gavin Holmes At cornerback Jadie Baron For five cents.” Jordan ScruggsHorn 247
