• Ballot
• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide	The king keeps his throne until he shows a weakness. Some backfield uncertainty but I'm sure the machine will be ready to tear the souls from people who worship Chaos.
2	Clemson Tigers
3	Oklahoma Sooners
4	Stanford Cardinal
5	Ohio State Buckeyes
6	LSU Tigers
7	Michigan Wolverines
8	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
9	Houston Cougars	I'm high on Houston. Keeping it close or beating a very talented Oklahoma team will tell me where they really stand.
10	Florida State Seminoles
11	Tennessee Volunteers
12	Michigan State Spartans
13	Ole Miss Rebels
14	TCU Horned Frogs
15	Washington Huskies
16	UCLA Bruins
17	Iowa Hawkeyes
18	USC Trojans	(pls upset Bama pls)
19	Georgia Bulldogs
20	Baylor Bears	They might still be good this year after their, um, tumultuous offseason. Wait and see how much Art Briles' departure affects the team.
21	North Carolina Tar Heels
22	Oklahoma State Cowboys
23	Texas A&M Aggies
24	Louisville Cardinals
25	Florida Gators
