Obviously biased, but Coach Kelly has proved his near-lock for the HoF someday, has ND at the top of college football, and they bring in top 12 talent. I also look at their schedule and ask "show me the exact loss". Yes, tough road, but favored in each one by itself. |

Cincinnati Bearcats

USC Trojans

Hard to not respect a high in-conference record and tons of talent. I think Cley Helton will always be outmatched past #8-10 until he proves it, but talent with "good-enough" coaching means I will take USC vs teams 11-25 on this list. |
| 11 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
|
| 12 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
|
| 13 |
Florida Gators

|
| 14 |
Miami Hurricanes

|
| 15 |
Boise State Broncos
|
Idk if they are a "top 15 team" but with coaching and the best talent in the MW, who is going to beat them? 15 is is a fair starting point as I would take them vs teams 16-25. |
| 16 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 17 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 18 |
LSU Tigers
|
|
| 19 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
In major games outside of the Big 12, they always look outmatched (ND, Louisiana, etc.). They are a good team and well-coached, but not top 10 until they prove it. |
| 20 |
Appalachian State Mountaineers
|
|
| 21 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
|
| 22 |
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
|
|
| 23 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Similar to Iowa State. Good team with good coaching, but they don't really prove it in big games and/or out of conference. Def a team you can't overlook, but a focused top-10 team will always beat them. |
