Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Bama is still the best. Simple as that. |
2 | Georgia Bulldogs | Georgia is very real, and I like what they have returning.  |
3 | Clemson Tigers | Clemson is going to win the ACC this year handily I think, but I'm not sure if I think they're better than Georgia.  |
4 | Ohio State Buckeyes | We'll have to see how all the drama unfolds, but OSU should be back at the top again. |
5 | Oklahoma Sooners | The offensive line and skill positions should be enough to overcome average QB play. Who knows, maybe Kyler Murray really is that good.  |
6 | Wisconsin Badgers | Wisconsin is back and poised to make a run at the Big 10 championship. |
7 | Miami Hurricanes | Can Miami push Clemson this season? |
8 | Auburn Tigers | Auburn has a brutal schedule, but they are built for it. |
9 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Penn State rarely beats themselves. They'll be a tough out this year. |
10 | Michigan State Spartans | Always solid, always well coached. Lots of guys back. What's not to love? |
11 | Washington Huskies | I'm not sure how good Washington will be this year, but tons of people are very high on them. We'll know what they got after a stellar week one matchup with  Auburn in Atlanta. |
12 | USC Trojans | Will be a team to watch in the Pac 12. The sky is the limit. |
13 | TCU Horned Frogs | Horned Frogs are always well coached and they are ready to make some waves in the Big 12 |
14 | Stanford Cardinal | Stanford seems to never make mistakes in games, probably why they're so hard to knock off. They could be the sleeper to win the Pac 12. |
15 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | ND has a tough schedule, but get's to play a few big ones at home this year. |
16 | Michigan Wolverines | Michigan may just have found a QB. Could be scary.  |
17 | West Virginia Mountaineers | We get a chance this year to see how good Will Grier is. He has an amazing WR core.  |
18 | Virginia Tech Hokies | VT is trending upwards, and I think they'll continue on that path.  |
19 | LSU Tigers | I really don't know how good LSU is. They have so many stud athletes that it's hard to count them out.  |
20 | Florida State Seminoles | I think Taggart and the Seminoles can and will surprise people this year.  |
21 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | The Bulldogs return a bunch of guys, as long as Fitzpatrick comes back healthy I think they'll be tough.  |
22 | Boise State Broncos | Boise State plays a really tough non conference opponent against Oklahoma State in Stillwater. It will be one to watch for sure. |
23 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | Not sure what to think about Oklahoma State. They have a lot of question marks, but they may just have answers for those. |
24 | UCF Knights | UCF lost a lot from their amazing run last season, but I'm sure they picked up some valuable Spencerian along the way. They'll still be really good.  |
25 | Kansas State Wildcats | Not enough people are talking about KState. They return a solid group of leaders.  |
