Lasting from mid-January until late August, just about the longest offseason known to man belongs to college football. But in a way, that's good: It gives us plenty of time to preview and prepare for the fire hose that is the fall.
My initial SP+ projections will go up soon after February's signing day -- spoiler alert: Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State will probably rank really high -- and my 2022 divisional preview pieces will begin after that, but we don't have to wait till the previews to get started. Let's talk about some of the big-picture items we're going to be talking about a lot, and enjoying immensely, in the offseason months to come.
