| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Best team going in this year, reloaded |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Played the best game against the best team last year when it mattered most, also reloaded. Not worried about QB position. |
| 3 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Great regular season, can they put it together in the playoffs? |
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Off year, but always expect Saban to fire up the guys |
| 5 |
USC Trojans
|
Best player in the nation with a couple big recruits coming in. Don't think they will end up top 5, but can't deny them at this point |
| 6 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
Underrated, sneaky good team will finish top 10, possibly top 5 w/ upset over OSU or UM |
| 7 |
Tennessee Volunteers
|
Biggest question mark. Can they do it w/o Hooker? I think they can. |
| 8 |
LSU Tigers
|
Don't feel as strong about having LSU top 10 to start the season. Played great at the end, but unsure of how they will look. |
| 9 |
Utah Utes
|
Should have been a top 10. Lost QB and Kincaid though. |
| 10 |
TCU Horned Frogs
|
Interested to see how they rebound. |
| 11 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
Don't believe the hype, but you never know. |
| 12 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Ewers will make a statement, expect to finish Top 10. |
| 13 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Will drop this year. |
| 14 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Big question mark. Not the most talented team in the Pac-12 anymore. |
| 15 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Off-year, I think they will adjust fine. Gabriel poised for good year |
