Submitted: Aug. 13, 2024, 9:47 a.m.

Overall Rationale: First 5 Out: Memphis, Boise State, West Virginia, VA Tech, Louisville

Rank Team Reason
1 Ohio State Buckeyes THE best roster in football, Natty or Bust. Most Important Game: Oct. 12 @Oregon
2 Oregon Ducks Biggest threat to Ohio State this year. Most Important Game: Oct. 12 vs Ohio State
3 Georgia Bulldogs Never going to doubt Kirby, especially after being left out of the playoffs last year. Most Important Game: Oct. 19 @Texas
4 Texas Longhorns Ewers is still there, hungry to prove last year wasn't a fluke and that Texas is actually back. Most Important Game: Oct. 19 vs Georgia
5 Utah Utes I'm still a Cam Rising believer, if they can avoid the injury bug they will make the playoffs pretty easily and I won't be shocked if they make a run. Most Important Game: Sept. 21 @Oklahoma State
6 Ole Miss Rebels Loss of Judkins will hurt bad but Dart is going to ball out and make a run for the SEC. Most Important Game: Nov. 9 vs Georgia
7 Alabama Crimson Tide Not sure what the Post-Saban era at Bama is going to look like, and I definitely have my doubts. Most Important Game: Sept. 29 vs Georgia
8 Missouri Tigers Return an explosive offensive production, look to improve on that Cotton Bowl win from last year. Most Important Game: Oct. 26 @Alabama
9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Reload on defense, take a slight hit at O-Line and in the backfield but Freeman will still lead them to be a good team. Most Important Game: Aug. 31 @Texas A&M
10 Penn State Nittany Lions Allar will make strides this year, like the pickup of Kotelnicki from Kansas, and adding a great receiver in Fleming. Most Important Game: Oct. 2 vs Ohio State
11 LSU Tigers Offense took some hits but overall they returned good production and added a great recruiting class. Most Important Game: Oct. 12 vs Ole Miss
12 Florida State Seminoles DJ will be a good pickup to add with the young WR Core, still have that chip on their shoulder but need to go out and prove it. Most Important Game: Oct. 5 vs Clemson
13 Michigan Wolverines Lost just about everyone from last years team, and Sherrone will be a ? for his first full year. Most Important Game: Nov. 30 @Ohio State
14 Kansas Jayhawks Very experienced squad and Jalon Daniels will be a great leader despite losing their OC, defense looks very strong despite the hit to their pass rush. Most Important Game: Oct. 26 @Kansas State
15 Arizona Wildcats Return their biggest stars but will still have to make the transition to a new coach, defense looks strong. Most Important Game: Sept. 28 @Utah
16 Oklahoma State Cowboys Can be Elite but have to avoid inconsistency, Ollie will lead and carry the offense but need the defense to take a step up. Most Important Game: Sept. 21 vs Utah
17 Oklahoma Sooners Defense will be the leading factor of this team, losing Gabriel will hurt their offense pretty badly. Most Important Game: Oct. 12 vs Texas
18 Tennessee Volunteers The offense will still be electric despite their losses, defense could be a little sloppy though. Most Important Game: Sept. 21 @ Oklahoma
19 Texas A&M Aggies Offense will look good with tons of returning production and an improved O-Line but I think the defense could be inconsistent. Most Important Game: Oct. 5 vs Mizzou
20 Clemson Tigers Klubnik will need to make a step up to lead this team to something big, the running game should be strong though. Most Important Game: Oct. 5 @Florida State
21 Miami Hurricanes Roster looks very good on offense, defense looks good but not special, still do not trust Cristobal to get it done. Most Important Game: Oct. 26 vs Florida State
22 Kansas State Wildcats Defense will look good in the pass of their pass rush just takes a slight step up, offense is extremely young though and needs to adjust to the new QB. Most Important Game: Sept. 13 vs Arizona
23 NC State Wolfpack Grayson McCall will be a good pickup and the offense should be great, lose leaders on defense though. Most Important Game: Sept. 21 @Clemson
24 SMU Mustangs Offense looks like it'll still be high rolling and the defense returns tons of production. Most Important Game: Sept. 28 vs Florida State
25 Auburn Tigers Freeze is a great coach, their WRs are young but should be good, they improved on the line, their defense is good but not great. Most Important Game: Sept. 28 vs Oklahoma
