Overall Rationale: For the pre-season, it's mostly an eye test and initial reports based on camp and talent levels
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Ohio State Buckeyes | I feel OSU, Bama, and UGA are very close, but I feel OSU lost the least in the draft, after Smith-Njigba showed out in the Rose bowl, he can clearly step up to fill the top WR role |
2 | Alabama Crimson Tide | Restocked in the portal, but a few lingering injuries let OSU slip past for now |
3 | Georgia Bulldogs | A still very great team lost some defensive all stars, but they are still going to be great |
4 | Clemson Tigers | |
5 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
6 | Texas A&M Aggies | Based on roster talent, they rank high, but we will see how they perform once the season starts |
7 | Michigan Wolverines | |
8 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
9 | Baylor Bears | |
10 | Utah Utes | |
11 | Oregon Ducks | |
12 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
13 | Ole Miss Rebels | |
14 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | Notre Dame benefitted from a weak schedule last year, they play a tougher schedule this year, combined with losing upper classmen to the draft, and a new head coach who blew a big lead in his first appearance in a bowl game, they should not be legit CFP contenders this year |
15 | NC State Wolfpack | |
16 | Michigan State Spartans | |
17 | Kentucky Wildcats | |
18 | Arkansas Razorbacks | |
19 | Pittsburgh Panthers | Losing Kenny Pickett hurts, he was the lifeblood of this offense |
20 | USC Trojans | |
21 | Houston Cougars | |
22 | Cincinnati Bearcats | Losing a lot of talent in the draft, we will see if they can repeat their dominance with a greener roster |
23 | BYU Cougars | |
24 | Penn State Nittany Lions | Interesting QB battle here, will it be Clifford in his 6th year, or Drew Allar, top rated QB prospect? |
25 | Auburn Tigers | Auburn snuck in due to the news of Wake losing Hartman for the time being |
