• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide	Obviously 
2	Ohio State Buckeyes	Reload an already very good team and they should win every 11-0 going into Ann Arbor
3	Washington Huskies	Best team in the Pac12
4	Clemson Tigers	Loss of Watson will hurt. 
5	Florida State Seminoles	#1 vs #2 in opening weekend seems too fabricated. 
6	Michigan Wolverines	Bit of a homer pick but I think Michigan beats Penn State so thats why i ranked them ahead. 
7	Oklahoma Sooners
8	Auburn Tigers
9	Penn State Nittany Lions	see above reasoning
10	Oklahoma State Cowboys
11	Wisconsin Badgers
12	Kansas State Wildcats
13	USC Trojans
14	LSU Tigers
15	Georgia Bulldogs
16	Stanford Cardinal
17	Florida Gators
18	Texas Longhorns
19	Louisville Cardinals
20	Miami Hurricanes
21	NC State Wolfpack
22	USF Bulls
23	West Virginia Mountaineers
24	Northwestern Wildcats
25	Miami (OH) RedHawks	Another home pick but I think with Gus Ragland they could win the MAC.
