Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 16, 2018, 1:30 p.m.

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.
