You can have Alabama, Georgia, or Ohio St. in any order and I wouldn't be bad. Clemson is in the weird middle ground as being the only team outside the top 3 who could likely compete with those schools for the crown, but having massive obvious flaws. 5-14 has no difference in my eyes and could be ordered any way you pleased. 15-40 is a lot of schools with the potential to have big years but teams I have no confidence in saying are better than the other. One or two of these teams in the late teens-UR is going to win 10-11 games and make me look like an idiot. One of the teams between 5-14 will make the playoffs and 2 will finish UR and make me look like an idiot. But this is what makes CFB fun.

With how many young players got significant time; this could be the scariest team on paper Saban's ever had. Bryce Young is legit, and with him are some of the best options on the transfer portal. Jermaine Burton and Tyler Harrell are going to have a big role on the offense, and Jahmyr Gibbs is in the conversation for best running back in college football. On defense, Will Anderson is the best defensive player in the country and with him are a ton of talented players. When Eli Ricks might not even start at CB this year, it shows you how good their secondary is and that same statement can be made along the defense. There are some concerns about the OLine, but overall you're not going to find a more balanced team in college football than the Tide with their talent level.

That's how I feel listening to the conversation surrounding the Bulldogs this year. With how strong the '21 defense was for Georgia and how much they dominated the draft, people seem to be forgetting what else is still in Athens. The Georgia offense is looking to be the best it's ever been under Kirby after a terrific year last season. Sure Stetson is a sexy NFL draft prospect, but the man is a solid college QB. And surrounding him is a war chest of options at WR and RB, plus the best TE room in the 21st century. The defense will take a step back, it's not possible to be as good as they were last year. However Nolan Smith returns, Tykee Smith returns, and Christopher Smith returns. And outside the 3 smiths, you also got Jalen Carter whose a potential top 5 NFL draft pick. The DBs should be better than last year's unit, and this will still be a top 3 defense if not the best. UGA absolutely has the guns to repeat as champions, and at the very least will be in the picture til the bitter end." }, { "rank": 3, "team": { "id": 34, "handle": "ohiostate", "name": "Ohio State Buckeyes" }, "rationale": "This will be the best offense in the country by a landslide. #2 QB, #2 RB, #2 WR IMO all reside in Columbus you can make a powerful argument that all these guys are the best at their position. Baby Harrison is a 1st round pick, Egbuka and Fleming are potential 1st rounders. They have one of the best offensive lines in the country. Ohio State's offense can go blow for blow with anybody in the nation. The defense....different story. There's talent on this defense, but there's a reason they brought in Jim Knowles. Minnesota, Utah, Michigan, and Oregon were able to get huge plays in the running game against them last year and it's unknown whether they'll fix that issue. There's no standout defensive stud like in years past, and while Sawyer and Harrison could be that player we don't know that today. And last year the secondary was a tossup week to week. If the defense can play up to their recruiting then the Buckeyes will cakewalk into the national title game. Hell even if the defense struggles, this team can still win the whole thing.

Last year was a disappointment, and they have the talent to do better than 10-3. This is at worst, the 2nd best defense in college football in 2022. IMO, this is the 2nd best defensive unit Clemson has had under Swinney. The DLine is loaded, with Bryan Breese being the main headliner. There are 4-5 guys who will be playing on Sundays in the rotation, and that will give the other units on this defense time to grow. There's massive recruiting talent at DB and LB that Clemson just hasn't had til recently, and by the end of the season will be household names in the ACC. It's the offense that prevents this team from being obvious title contenders. DJ was horrendous after some good moments his freshman year. The WRs for the Tigers were pitiful, and the running game was completely unreliable. You just have to hope last year was due to some real inexperience at the skill positions and that these guys will all improve next year. The OL is solid, and even a serviceable offense will be good enough to compete for a title. If DJ or Klubnik is a real star, they vault back in the category of title frontrunners.

"2022-08-22T03:00:10.133795+00:00", "overall_rationale": "Towards the beginning of the season, I usually start by looking at the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. If the CFP Rankings are out, I will look at those, too. At the very beginning of the season, I\u2019ll check Vegas win totals. I want to make sure my rankings aren\u2019t totally off the wall or something, as everyone is prone to bias. Plus, I simply can\u2019t keep up with what has happened in the off season for every single team. I mean, I listen to podcasts and frequently browse the subreddit, but there are a lot of teams!\r\n\r\n\r\nFrom there, I base my rankings on how I think the team has performed. I watch a lot of games every weekend, so how a team does there is a factor. I try to base as much of my rankings as I can on *my* opinion, not just whatever the current narrative is. Because of that, I also try to remain as unbiased as possible. \r\n\r\n\r\nI have noticed that I definitely give more weight to an undefeated record than some of the more mainstream polls (e.g., UTSA\u2019s run last year). I don\u2019t care who you are or who you play, going undefeated at any level in CFB is very, very difficult, so I often wind up having those teams a few slots higher than other places (though not necessarily other r/CFB users). \r\n\r\n\r\nI have also noticed that I am willing to give a team that is elite on one side of the ball but kind of meh on the other more credit. Take Ohio State last year. Their defense was not great by their standards but I kept them a bit higher than some folks did because I knew very few teams (including the ones I primarily support!) would have any chance at slowing down their offense. Wisconsin and Oklahoma State are good examples of the inverse. Though they are my favorite teams\u2019 rivals, there was no denying that scoring on those two defenses was extremely unlikely. I won\u2019t penalize a team for \u201conly\u201d being elite on one side of the ball if the other side is truly elite. \r\n\r\n\r\nAnother thing I try to do is rank teams over teams that they\u2019ve beaten whenever possible. Say Florida State beat Florida but lost to Georgia Tech. Both are now one- loss teams. GT is a pretty bad loss this year but I just can\u2019t justify ranking FSU behind UF if FSU has the head-to-head victory. I know that isn\u2019t everyone\u2019s philosophy but it is mine. \r\n\r\n\r\nIn cases of a tie in my rankings, I will always give the edge to the team with the better quarterback. If both teams have elite QBs, I will give the edge to the team with the better offensive and defensive lines. If that isn\u2019t helpful, I will give the edge to the team with the better defense in terms of SP+ rankings. \r\n\r\n\r\nI don\u2019t have a dedicated points system (e.g., BCS) or anything because I like the ability to retain discretion. For instance, maybe there are two one-loss teams that are just about tied in my rankings. If I feel one of them has been very lucky or happened to catch other teams at the right time (e.g., Iowa last year, unfortunately), I will give the edge to the team that I think has earned their record to a greater degree. This kind of thing would only happen if teams have the same record, though, as I wouldn\u2019t put a 2-loss team over a 1-loss team because I thought the 1-loss team was \u201clucky.\u201d \r\n\r\n\r\nAlso, I do not penalize teams with early byes but will give extra credit to teams if they have an \u201cextra\u201d win. So, for example, if Utah was 8-0 and Clemson was 7-0, I\u2019d give a slight edge to Utah, no matter how \u201cgood\u201d their additional win was. This is the kind of thing that will work itself out as the season goes, but I believe teams deserve some reward for playing an extra game. \r\n\r\n\r\nConference strength and strength of schedule both matter to me, but there aren\u2019t many universes in which I am going to put a 8-4 SEC team over an 11-1 (and certainly not a 12-0) MAC team. Now, if the MAC team dropped two games, they may go from being ranked in my top 15 to being totally unranked (due to their strength of schedule) but I am not willing to penalize a team with an exceptional record for something they can\u2019t control. Besides, sometimes those G5 teams can be scary! They deserve a shot (e.g., Cincinnati vs. Georgia two years ago). \r\n\r\n\r\nAn unorthodox thing that I do is penalize teams for **major** injuries (usually this just means a star quarterback going down but if a team relied heavily on a star RB\u2014 like Wisconsin and Braylon Allen\u2014 then they might get a slight dip, too). I kind of hate doing it but I think it is the right thing to do. Just look at how different Ole Miss looked in the Sugar Bowl after Corral went down. They weren\u2019t the same team. And you\u2019d better believe I\u2019d apply this same criteria to Oklahoma\u2014 if Dillon Gabriel goes down and is replaced by *checks notes* Davis Beville or Micah Bowens, I am not going to assume they will be the same quality of team. It just doesn\u2019t make any sense.\r\n(As an aside, I might actually bump Iowa up a spot or two is Spencer Petras went down\u2026)\r\n\r\n\r\nOne more thing I do is consider which teams kind of \u201chaunt\u201d other teams. For example, **prior to last season,** if I was trying to decide between Alabama or Georgia for the #1 spot, I\u2019d give the edge to Bama, as UGA hadn\u2019t yet figured out how to beat them when it mattered. I\u2019d say the same for Ohio State and Michigan\u2014 it felt like Michigan lost to Ohio State 10x in a row. Now, in both cases, the underdog team finally got the monkey off of their back, so that would not apply anymore. Last year was a tough year for this criteria, as Oklahoma State also beat OU and Washington State also beat Washington. But, for some other rivalries, I think the criteria still applies (e.g., Florida over Tennessee, Iowa over Iowa State, Iowa over Nebraska). But, again, this would only be used for a tie breaker if I thought two teams should be ranked right around the same spot. \r\n\r\n\r\nIt is a subjective system but it is one I feel confident in! I have been higher on teams than some others but those teams usually end up delivering come bowl season.

I would never say Riley was a bad coach but I do think OU hit its ceiling with him at the helm. To take that next step, OU will need to be tougher-- Alabama and Georgia certainly are. I think BV was the perfect hire but admit that it may take another couple of seasons for OU to be rolling again. If he can give the team its edge back? Look out. As for this season, I think the offensive will be at least as good as it was last season (which, honestly, for OU standards, wasn't amazing). If the defense takes even a few small steps forward (e.g., not missing tackles and/or getting absolutely cooked by any WR with talent), OU should be right in the thick of it for another Big XII championship." }, { "rank": 9, "team": { "id": 15, "handle": "baylor", "name": "Baylor Bears" }, "rationale": "I am a big Aranda guy and the top-10 ranking is like 75% based on him.

I love what Jeff Grimes does with all of the outside zone he runs. There is nothing fancy about this team-- they're just daring you to stop them. The problem? Not all that many teams can.

Still, in a(nother) down year for the PAC-12, I don't see many sure losses here.

They lost a ton (a TON) of experience at linebacker. They also lost Knowles who, for my money, may be a top 3-5 DC in all of CFB. Having said all of this, the reason I actually feel pretty highly about them is their defensive line, which could be absolutely nasty-- especially with how excellent their S&C program is.

With possibly two of the best WRs in the Big XII? You almost have to rank them based on that fire power alone. Even though I don't know what to make of their defense, I think this team's success will hinge on its offensive line play. With solid play, I think the ceiling is around 10 wins.

They've had the talent to do more than they have been over the last couple of seasons and it makes me wonder whether Doeren is really the man for the job.

I am expecting a lot of 40-something to 40-something games and think they'll win around 9 or 10 of them. It will be interesting to see if the problems Riley was starting to have at OU (mainly a lack of physicality on both sides of the ball and issues developing non-offensive skill position players) are mitigated by the bump I expect he'll have in recruiting. Riley will probably win the PAC-12 before USC moves to the B1G. I believe the move to the B1G will really show us how good USC can be under Riley. If they can play Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, etc. on snowy December Saturdays? They should be able to play with anybody. My bias? The S&C program and refusal to get bigger on the defensive line will stop them from reaching their true ceiling and problems will be magnified by the move to the B1G.

matters up to a point, if you just keep winning you will inevitably rise quite high by the end of the season \r\n-Close losses to good teams punished less heavily than blowout losses or losses to unranked/bad teams \r\n-Teams that play weaker schedules will rise slower from wins and fall harder from losses \r\n-I try to put the winner of a H2H ahead of the loser if the two are close in the standings either by pushing the winner up a bit higher than I originally planned or pushing the loser down a bit further \r\n-I ignore H2H if teams are further than ~3-5 spots away from one another or if one team has performed particularly well against tougher foes \r\n-Only in the case where two teams would end up right next to each other will I use \"performance against common foe\" as a means to distinguish which to put on top and even then I may ignore it for my version of the \"eye test\" \r\n-My eye test is simply about how balanced a team is, more balanced teams that are strong on both sides of the ball will place higher than teams overly reliant on either the offense or the defense while the other half of the team is a liability. This can be slightly overcome if one side is average while the other is great or something of that nature, but generally being good at both aspects of the game is preferred over being hyper offensive or hyper defensive. \r\n\r\nAt about the mid point of each season I do a re-rank which leads to radical shifts in rankings. This achieves a few things: \r\n1. I get to use some of the feedback and suggestions I've received throughout the season to correct for some biases I'd developed or to fix the rankings for teams I had paid less attention towards. \r\n2. I eliminate preseason bias, effectively removing any teams lingering in the top 25 based on preseason expectations and adding teams I had underrated before the season began. \r\n3. It lets me fix situations where I ranked a team higher due to early season ranked wins but which, by the midpoint of the season, were now unranked wins of lesser quality than I had formerly believed. It also lets me push teams higher that gained ranked wins over the course of the season as teams they beat became ranked, higher quality wins.

would beat my #7-#25 team for example. It's mostly forward looking, so while wins and losses matter, the goal is to be predictive. This would not be the same as if I had to submit a playoffs rankings which would be most deserving based on resume. These are subjective choices based on extensive preseason research, watching as many games as possible (I try to watch 4 games every time slot often flipping around), going over every available advanced metric, and an aggregation of all the info and experience I've learned/gained through years of doing this. Early on I rely a lot on my preseason research - which includes things like knowing the OL depth of most P5 teams and a good bit of G5 times - but I'm quick to adapt when it's clear my preseason forecasts are off or players massively improve/decline. \r\n\r\nOf course I'll preface all this by saying 2022 after the top 3 feels like a crapshoot so the order of the top 25 matters less in the preseason this year than maybe any other year I've done this.
