• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Clemson Tigers	Best player in the damn game.
2	Alabama Crimson Tide	Only question is QB.
3	Oklahoma Sooners	Top 15 offense and defense last year. Mayfield is back.
4	LSU Tigers	Offense wasn't the problem last year. Now Dave Aranda is in town.
5	Houston Cougars	Don't @ me.
6	Ole Miss Rebels	*whispering* Swag.
7	Florida State Seminoles	Loaded D, but plenty of questions on offense not-named Dalvin.
8	Ohio State Buckeyes	Urban Meyer. JT Barrett. There's a dude named Raekwon.
9	Stanford Cardinal	They will never be bad, but will take a small step back while adjusting to the post-Hogan era.
10	TCU Horned Frogs	How trill we talkin', here?
11	Michigan Wolverines	Offense was sub-trash last year. Defense was elite.
12	North Carolina Tar Heels	They go fast.
13	Appalachian State Mountaineers	APP STATE REAL.
14	Michigan State Spartans	Defense, their calling-card, was pretty bad last year (statistically speaking). New QB. Could still Dantonio themselves into a 10-win season.
15	Louisville Cardinals	Fire up the motorcycles, Louisville
16	San Diego State Aztecs	This defense is RAW.
17	Florida Gators	Hey, eat shit, though.
18	Tennessee Volunteers	Good team this year, but won't beat UF.
19	Washington State Cougars	Fuck it. Goin' deep.
20	USF Bulls	They just keep getting better.
21	Oregon Ducks	The defense can't be any worse than last year's.
22	USC Trojans	One of these days the talent is gonna shine.
23	Toledo Rockets	Rockets are bad ass.
24	Baylor Bears	Well, their quarterback is good.
25	Marshall Thundering Herd	Defense was solid last year. If the offense improves....
