Overall Rationale: I'm not going to go into detail on everyone, just ones that might be higher or lower than most. Or who I want to talk about.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Duh. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 3 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
|
| 4 |
Washington Huskies
|
2017 was supposed to be the year, not 2016. |
| 5 |
USC Trojans
|
Little worried about the O-line. Everything else is locked and loaded. |
| 6 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 7 |
Stanford Cardinal
|
Don't get why Stanford keeps showing up around 15 - they still have a killer defense, get Kellen Chryst back at QB, and have a fantastic O-line. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 9 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Only real question mark is at QB |
| 10 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
7-11 is a big clump of teams that should be very good and were hard to separate. |
| 11 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
I think Penn State is a very good team, they just kinda ended up down here at 11. |
| 12 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
I don't feel very good about putting them at 12, but I don't trust any of the teams below them either. Killer defense + Lamar Jackson is good enough for me. |
| 13 |
Auburn Tigers
|
Clemson Lite, with more 6-6 potential. |
| 14 |
Florida Gators
|
I think they're going to boring their way to the SEC East again. |
| 15 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Who knows? Everybody's gone! |
| 16 |
LSU Tigers
|
I love Coach O but I don't trust him. |
| 17 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
|
| 18 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
Good coach, good QB, lots of talent and room to improve on defense from last year. Surprised they aren't getting more hype this offseason. |
| 19 |
Texas Longhorns
|
5-7 rabble rabble rabble, whatever, they're more talented than almost everyone and have actual good coaching. |
| 20 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
idk what to think of them |
| 21 |
Northwestern Wildcats
|
|
| 22 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 23 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
|
| 24 |
BYU Cougars
|
|
| 25 |
Washington State Cougars
|
Might as well put these guys here before they lose to Montana State. |
