We still aren’t sure if or when the 2020 college football season will be played, though there are some positive signs that things are slowly returning toward “normal.”
But, if we do look ahead to the 2020 season, which teams will be in the mix to win a national title?
According to Sporting News’s Bill Bender, only 5 teams — a list full of familiar names — will be able to win the 2020 College Football Playoff title:
The Sporting News' @BillBender92 believes there are only five teams that can win the national title this upcoming season: Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, Alabama and LSU.

Florida fans will be rightfully upset, but don’t worry — Bender did mention the Gators, too:
The Sporting News' @BillBender92 added that three teams outside his top five that are knocking on the door are Oregon, Penn State and Florida.

Notice that Oklahoma isn’t on either list.
Will Bender be proven right? We’ll find out when the 2020 season finally kicks off!
