Overall Rationale: Don't have some kind of system for this.  This is mostly based on my expectations for teams for the coming season.  Provided some comments for some teams.
| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | They're Bama. | 
| 2 |  Clemson Tigers | |
| 3 |  Georgia Bulldogs | |
| 4 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | Will be interesting to see how they do depending on the outcome of the Meyer situation. | 
| 5 |  Oklahoma Sooners | |
| 6 |  Wisconsin Badgers | |
| 7 |  Washington Huskies | |
| 8 |  Auburn Tigers | My pick to win the title this year (hot take?). | 
| 9 |  Miami Hurricanes | Should be an even better team this year. | 
| 10 |  Penn State Nittany Lions | |
| 11 |  Michigan Wolverines | |
| 12 |  Stanford Cardinal | |
| 13 |  Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
| 14 |  TCU Horned Frogs | |
| 15 |  Notre Dame Fighting Irish | I wasn't high on ND last year, and this year is the same for me.  Can't argue they aren't a good team, but I don't think they are as good as other do. | 
| 16 |  Michigan State Spartans | |
| 17 |  USC Trojans | |
| 18 |  LSU Tigers | Talented team, but will they solve their QB issues?  Don't think O will get fired this season unless they go like 3-9 or worse. | 
| 19 |  West Virginia Mountaineers | I miss you Grier ): | 
| 20 |  Mississippi State Bulldogs | |
| 21 |  UCF Knights | |
| 22 |  Florida State Seminoles | Very talented team.  I don't think Taggart is as good a coach as many seem to think he is but that might be some homerism. | 
| 23 |  Boise State Broncos | |
| 24 |  South Carolina Gamecocks | |
| 25 |  Florida Gators | Homerism |
