Rank	Team	Reason
1	Clemson Tigers
2	Michigan Wolverines	I feel like Michigan was showing more promise last year than they were given credit for in the 2016 preseason polls.
3	Alabama Crimson Tide
4	Oklahoma Sooners
5	LSU Tigers
6	Ohio State Buckeyes
7	Stanford Cardinal
8	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
9	Iowa Hawkeyes
10	Florida State Seminoles
11	Michigan State Spartans
12	Tennessee Volunteers
13	UCLA Bruins
14	USC Trojans
15	TCU Horned Frogs
16	Ole Miss Rebels
17	Oklahoma State Cowboys
18	Houston Cougars
19	North Carolina Tar Heels
20	Oregon Ducks
21	Louisville Cardinals
22	Florida Gators
23	Georgia Bulldogs
24	Miami Hurricanes
25	Texas Tech Red Raiders	I feel very guilty for this pick, but I had to be honest with myself. Looking at it objectively, Patrick Mahomes returning with the #2 overall offense in the nation in 2015 plus increased defensive depth equates to 2-3 more wins in the regular season.
