Overall Rationale: Guessing what the end of season rankings will be. I'm guessing the top is gonna be really boring again, outside of the 4 spot. I think Clemson and ND are gonna be at 10 wins which will leave the door open to someone new. Throwing the Dukes a point, not sure they'll be ranked, but I do expect they will get some first year luck/hype and win 8+ games.
