The midpoint of the 2024 season gives us the perfect chance to reflect and forecast.

What was rightfully billed as a historic season, because of mass realignment and the 12-team College Football Playoff, has blown away expectations so far. There have been thrilling games at the top, like Georgia-Alabama and Ohio State-Oregon. The nation's top team is a conference newbie in Texas, which has its eyes set on its first national title in 19 years. The season also has delivered stars such as Boise State's Ashton Jeanty and Colorado's Travis Hunter who don't play for blue blood programs, as well as Heisman-contending quarterbacks at powerhouses like Miami's Cam Ward and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel.
