Overall Rationale: Great HC/QB are everything
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Their year. Moore and Co. in the driver’s seat |
| 2 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
Experienced skill players/somehow still underrated CJ Carr |
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Flashyyyyy |
| 4 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Major question marks with defense again. As an Ohio State fan, I hate that AP/coaches have OSU at #1 |
| 5 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
Just saying, they’re getting more talented… |
| 6 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
|
| 7 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
They’ll be good of course, but Kirby needs to fire his buddy Bobo to win a natty again |
| 8 |
LSU Tigers
|
🚂🚂 |
| 9 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 10 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Interims->HC hardly work out, and this is no sure thing |
| 11 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
DeBoer will prove his caliber of coaching with a less talented roster than usual |
| 12 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 13 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
If they just let Will Hammond have the starting job from the beginning then none of this would’ve happened |
| 14 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
The Penn State Cyclones |
| 15 |
Houston Cougars
|
They’re not Indiana, but they’re really underrated |
| 16 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Too nice. Too soft. Buckeyes by 80 |
| 17 |
SMU Mustangs
|
|
| 18 |
BYU Cougars
|
|
| 19 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 20 |
Washington Huskies
|
😈 Williams |
| 21 |
Missouri Tigers
|
|
| 22 |

They’ll have a great offense… |
| 23 |
Louisville Cardinals

Lincoln Kienholz is going to ball |
| 24 |

Fifita unfortunately wasting away |
| 25 |
