RegulatorRWF Ballot for 2017 Preseason
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 15, 2017, 8:28 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Waiting for tOSU to prove they made the right hire with Kevin Wilson, as they need Barrett to hit his targets and get a good passing game going. High overall on the B1G, but that can change quickly with some key early season match-ups. High on Texas as well with belief in Herman at the helm. Super early rankings based on projections, be gentle with criticism.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
They bring back their QB, and no reason to think they aren't the team to beat, since Clemson lost Watson. |
| 2 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Lost Watson, but Dabo has proven he can win games, defending champs deserve the number 2 spot. |
| 3 |
USC Trojans
|
Sam Darnold |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Bring back lots of talent, hard to imagine more than two losses, the early season will either cement a top 4 ranking, or send them tumbling. Kevin Wilsons worth will be tested early. |
