Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Georgia Bulldogs | Defending champion is always #1 to start the season in my rankings until they lose or another team is UNDENIABLY better after 2 or 3 games. |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | OSU should have the best offense this season. Jim Knowles will also improve the defense significantly. |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | 2 heisman candidates. Top 10 offense. Top 10 defense. Nick Saban. Name starts with ALA and ends with BAMA. |
4 | Utah Utes | |
5 | Michigan Wolverines | |
6 | Texas A&M Aggies | |
7 | Clemson Tigers | |
8 | Miami Hurricanes | 71% of production returning, a new good HC, one of the most talented teams in the country. Definitely a playoff dark horse. |
9 | USC Trojans | I can’t find more than 1 loss on their schedule despite the possibility of having a bad defense this season. They’re just too talented to lose more than 2 games IMO |
10 | Arkansas Razorbacks | WOO PIG |
11 | NC State Wolfpack | |
12 | Baylor Bears | |
13 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
14 | Cincinnati Bearcats | |
15 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | I feel like a new QB coupled with other production losses and a coach in his first full year as HC may not be the recipe for a top 10 team. Maybe they’ll prove me wrong. |
16 | Tennessee Volunteers | One of the best offenses in the country and a defense that I feel will be improved from last year. If they didn’t have to play Bama and UGA they’d 100% be higher in the rankings. |
17 | Kentucky Wildcats | |
18 | Michigan State Spartans | |
19 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
20 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | Mo Ibrahim is a beast of a RB who I think will provide a necessary spark to the Minnesota offense that didn’t have him after injury last year. Plus their defense will likely be solid as always. |
21 | Houston Cougars | |
22 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
23 | Oregon Ducks | |
24 | UCLA Bruins | Same situation as USC. I can’t find no more than 2 to 3 losses on their schedule. They got Oregon, USC, and Utah, but I feel they might upset one of them. |
25 | North Carolina Tar Heels |
