Top 5 darkhorse contenders for 2023 College Football Playoff

NORMAN, Okla. (BVM) – Just six weeks remain in the 2023 college football regular season before conference championship week and many teams are getting set to make a final push in the second half of the year. 

The first seven weeks of the college football season have been tremendous, and as usual, have featured several upsets, dramatic finishes and dominant teams. Currently, seven teams in the top 10 of the AP poll remain undefeated, and have begun separating themselves from the rest of the pack, including the familiar likes of Georgia, Michigan and Ohio State.

However, there are multiple teams currently sitting outside the top five of the AP poll that certainly could have a chance at reaching the College Football Playoff later this year as well. 

Here are five darkhorse contenders for the 2023 College Football Playoff.
