Submitted: Aug. 9, 2023, 2:09 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Minimum of one ranked team per conference to start the year. Ordered by my personal opinion.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Champs and I don't want to give Kirby more ammo lol |
| 2 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Team I was high on last year and I believe they are primed to make another run |
| 3 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Only losses to Ohio St and Mich last year. If they can win one of both of those this year they are a potential playoff team |
| 4 |
LSU Tigers
|
Made a run at the end of the year and should have some good momentum coming into this season |
| 5 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Just need to put it together and will be a solid team. Fast! |
| 6 |
Washington Huskies
|
Pac-12 gets one last chance at glory before everyone leaves...right? Probably not, but I like this team |
| 7 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Always a contender no matter how much I hate it |
| 8 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
|
| 9 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
My pick for top B12 team this year |
| 10 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 11 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
|
| 12 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Could jump up high if the offense continues to perform and the defense can make a stop or two a game |
| 13 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
Poised for a good year in my opinion. I had them popping in and out of the rankings last year |
| 14 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 15 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
|
| 16 |
Tulane Green Wave
|
Top G5 team. Looking forward to how they follow up on a stellar year |
| 17 |
Clemson Tigers
|
|
| 18 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 19 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 20 |
