Overall Rationale: A few notes: I tried to put the conference champions in the Top 10, since they absolutely deserve to be there. It was tough but Pitt ended up just outside the Top 10. I like Georgia over Alabama at one since they are the defending champs. The middle teams I think we're the hardest to judge since a lot of them have new coaches, including USC, Oregon, and Miami. USC is always hard to judge, but with Riley and Caleb Williams, look out for them to contend with Utah for the PAC-12. That's an absolute must-see game. Cincinnati was hard as well since they lost A LOT of talent and their schedule isn't as good this year , but I felt like 3 future Big XII teams deserved to be there. BYU has the highest returning production in the country and have 2 straight 10 win seasons. They deserve a higher spot. I think the rest is pretty fair, but preseason is always a little difficult. Should get better results once teams start playing.
