RJ Young of FOX Sports has revealed his way-too-early Top 25 for the 2023 season.
Unsurprisingly, Young has the Georgia Bulldogs at No. 1, fresh off their 2nd-consecutive College Football Championship.
Michigan, Ohio State, USC, and Tennessee round out the rest of the top 5.

Young has the TCU Horned Frogs down to No. 8 after a blowout National Championship loss to Georgia.
Young is forecasting a bounce-back season for the Wisconsin Badgers in their 1st season under Luke Fickell. Young has the Badgers at No. 16 after a disappointing 7-6 2022 season.
Perhaps the biggest shock of these rankings is the Colorado Buffaloes at No. 21 after a historically bad 1-11 season in 2022. Young is banking on new HC Deion Sanders righting the ship quickly in Boulder.
