1. Alabama (13). Two former Crimson Tide stars are expected to be very high first round draft picks, likely in the top five of this year's event. 

Who's going: QB Bryce Young, LB Will Anderson, DB Jordan Battle, DB Brian Branch, DL DJ Dale, OL Emil Ekiyor, RB Jahmyr Gibbs, DB DeMarcco Hellams, TE Cameron Latu, DB Eli Ricks, OL Tyler Steen, LB Henry To'o To'o, DL Byron Young

2. Georgia (12). College football's two-time defending national champs made history by sending 15 players to the draft a year ago. They likely won't break that record in 2023, but expect plenty of Bulldogs to be on the stage, including the team's standout interior defensive lineman, one of the top stars in this class.

Who's going: QB Stetson Bennett, DL Jalen Carter, DL Robert Beal, Jr., WR Kearis Jackson, OL Broderick Jones, OL Warren McClendon, RB Kenny McIntosh, K Jack Podlesny, DB Kelee Ringo, DB Christopher Smith, DL Nolan Smith, TE Darnell Washington

3. LSU (9). Brian Kelly helped lead the Tigers to a surprise SEC West title in his maiden season and several of his top players are looking to find places in the NFL, including a pair of very promising wide receivers.

Who's going: WR Kayshon Boutte, WR Jaray Jenkins, LB Micah Baskerville, OL Anthony Bradford, DB Mekhi Garner, DL Ali Gaye, LB B.J. Ojulari, DL Jaquelin Roy, DB Jay Ward

T-3. Florida (9). Another major SEC power when it comes to supplying the NFL with talent, the Gators are led this season by a quarterback prospect with mixed reviews from analysts, one with plenty of athletic upside but who hasn't always impressed with his arm. The combine will be a chance to show the doubters wrong.

Who's going: QB Anthony Richardson, DL Brenton Cox, DB Trey Dean, DL Gervon Dexter, OL Richard Gouraige, LB Ventrell Miller, WR Justin Shorter, OL O'Cyrus Torrence, DB Rashad Torrence

T-3. Michigan (9). Jim Harbaugh helped revive the Wolverines' fortunes nationally the last two seasons, earning a pair of Big Ten championships and College Football Playoff appearances, and now NFL scouts are taking a closer look at his players.

Who's going: DL Mazi Smith, WR Ronnie Bell, OL Ryan Hayes, K Jake Moody, DL Mike Morris, OL Olu Oluwatimi, P Brad Robbins, TE Luke Schoonmaker, DB DJ Turner

T-3. TCU (9). College football's Cinderella last season, the Horned Frogs are sending some elite prospects to the NFL this year, including a potentially elite quarterback and wide receiver.

Who's going: QB Max Duggan, WR Quentin Johnston, OL Alan Ali, OL Steve Avila, WR Derius Davis, DB Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, DL Dylan Horton, RB Kendre Miller, LB Dee Winters

4. Clemson (8). The leaders among ACC teams when counting NFL Combine invites, the conference champs are sending some defensive phenoms to the pro ranks in 2023.

Who's going: DL Bryan Bresee, DL Myles Murphy, LB Trenton Simpson, TE Davis Allen, DL KJ Henry, OL Jordan McFadden, WR Joseph Ngata, K BT Potter

5. Maryland (7). One of the up and coming offensive teams in the Big Ten in recent years, the Terrapins are sending some talented receivers to this year's NFL Draft.

Who's going: WR Dontay Demus, WR Jacob Copeland, WR Rakim Jarrett, DB Deonte Banks, DB Jakorian Bennett, OL Jaelyn Duncan, K Chad Ryland

T-5. Ohio State (7). The Buckeyes are expected to hear their quarterback's name called in the top five of this year's draft, but this class boasts more than that, especially looking over the team's output on the offensive line.

Who's going: QB C.J. Stroud, WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, OL Paris Johnson, DB Cam Brown, DL Zach Harrison, DB Ronnie Hickman, OL Dawand Jones, OL Luke Wypler

T-5. Oklahoma (7). Brent Venables may have brought OU its first losing season in this century, but there's still plenty of skill on his roster getting NFL consideration.

Who's going: RB Eric Gray, WR Marvin Mims, TE Brayden Willis, OL Anton Harrison, OL Wanya Morris, DL Jalen Redmond, P Michael Turk

T-5. Penn State (7). The defending Rose Bowl champions are sending a contingent that includes two promising receiver prospects and a consensus high first round piece in the defensive secondary.

Who's going: CB Joey Porter, WR Parker Washington, WR Mitchell Tinsley, DB Ji'Ayir Brown, DL PJ Mustipher, TE Brenton Strange

T-5. Tennessee (7). After posing the No. 1 total offense in college football last season, the Volunteers are sending the core of that production to the NFL in the form of one quarterback and a wide receiver among other notable players on both sides of the ball.

Who's going: QB Hendon Hooker, WR Jalin Hyatt, LB Jeremy Banks, WR Cedric Tillman, OL Darnell Wright, DL Byron Young, P Paxton Brooks
