Rank	Team	Reason
1	Clemson Tigers	Returning a D-line that's basically a thresher maw. Has questions at QB, but not enough to shake them from the top spot.
2	Alabama Crimson Tide	Returning most pieces of a great offense, but with a relatively untested (but talented) defense.
3	Georgia Bulldogs	Replacing some great guys on defense, but that offense will only keep getting better.
4	Wisconsin Badgers	No longer a sleeper team. Wisconsin is the real deal, as is that offense.
5	Ohio State Buckeyes	As talented as ever, especially with Dobbins. I just think there's room to question if they're the best team in the Big 10.
6	Penn State Nittany Lions
7	Washington Huskies
8	Oklahoma Sooners
9	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
10	TCU Horned Frogs
11	Michigan Wolverines
12	Auburn Tigers
13	West Virginia Mountaineers
