Overall Rationale: Balance various efficiencies against what we've seen. Preseason is going to be mainly guesswork
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 |
![]() |
National runner up, might have been able to win the national championship had Metchie and Williams. Probably have the best EDGE rusher combo in college football and add Eli Ricks to the defensive backfield. Best group they've had defensively in a few years. Young is an incredible QB |
2 |
![]() |
Best offense in the country coming in. Defense is loaded with talent. |
3 |
![]() |
Elite talent at every level of the defense. Offensively will be more talented than everyone they play. |
4 |
![]() |
Losing too much from the defense to be as dominant and Stetson Bennet will be asked to do more. |
5 |
![]() |
Return a lot on offense. Lose both elite EDGE rushers. Continue to replace coordinators. |
6 |
![]() |
A lot to like on the defensive side of the ball. The OL should be better than last year, which will allow the offense to be better |
7 |
![]() |
Veteran well coached team with a talented QB. |
8 |
![]() |
Very good team last year, returning a lot of production. Lost their best player and top two RBs. |
9 |
![]() |
Big drop off after 8. From 9-25 there's a lot of guessing based on overall reliability and QB play. Oklahoma has enough solid talent and BV will have them playing solid defense. |
10 |
![]() |
One of the most talented teams in the country. QB position holds them back. |
11 |
![]() |
Very difficult to reload at a program like Cincinnati. Very good coaching and recruiting, but the top end talent will have to be replaced. |
12 |
![]() |
Solid returning QB, a lot of returning production on defense. Tucker will improve the secondary. |
13 |
![]() |
Spencer Sanders isn't great, but he's experienced which is the only reason Oklahoma State is ahead of Baylor |
14 |
![]() |
Most of the best parts of this team moved on. But Rhule left a solid foundation and Arranda is the right guy to continue things. |
15 |
![]() |
Good, not great dual threat QB. Not a lot returning in terms of playmakers. OL will be a strength. |
16 |
![]() |
Kiffin once again has to reload an offense. Wouldn't bet against him with Dart, Trigg, Evans. |
17 |
![]() |
Will Levis has absurd upside. He also wasn't particularly good last year. Nothing on this team shouts out at you, but Stoops has done such a good job. |
18 |
![]() |
Most talented team in their division. A lot of talent that needs to come together. Would not be surprised if they contend for the CFP. Would not be surprised if they missed a bowl game. |
19 |
![]() |
Would be much higher if they had a QB |
20 |
![]() |
Record didn't reflect it but they were the second best team in the East last year. Return a lot of production. Only thing that can hold them back is the schedule and if everyone figures out the offense/Hendon Hooker turns into a lemon |
21 |
![]() |
Best QB with experience from the teams from 9-25. Tons of talent and excitement around the program. Team had a lot of excitement and talent last year too tho. |
22 |
![]() |
An abundance of riches in terms of offensive talent. A huge culture problem. |
23 |
![]() |
Not a whole lot different between them and Miami and Texas. |
24 |
![]() |
Good not great team bringing back almost everything. |
25 |
![]() |
One of the best G5 QBs in the country |
