• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Georgia Bulldogs
2	Michigan Wolverines
3	Alabama Crimson Tide
4	Florida State Seminoles
5	Penn State Nittany Lions	With Drew Allar proving himself as the QB moving forward, the Penn State Offense and Defense looks to be trending upward. With questionable Kicker situation may cost them close game but definitely worthy of the #5 rank
6	USC Trojans
7	Ohio State Buckeyes	Ohio State's offense is not as strong as expected due to questionable QB plays, this issue may linger and cause messy plays in the future.
8	Notre Dame Fighting Irish
9	Tennessee Volunteers
10	Utah Utes
11	Oregon Ducks
12	Oregon State Beavers
13	Washington Huskies
14	Oklahoma Sooners
15	Ole Miss Rebels
16	Kansas State Wildcats
17	Texas Longhorns
18	North Carolina Tar Heels
19	Tulane Green Wave
20	LSU Tigers
21	Texas A&M Aggies
22	Iowa Hawkeyes
23	Kansas Jayhawks	Kansas is a sleeper team and with QB Jalon Daniel's looking to come back. Kansas can be a powerhouse this year
24	Duke Blue Devils	Does this need an explanation?
25	UCF Knights
