Preseason Top 10


Usually by now, I have done a ton of homework and could tell you teams inside and outs about the top 10. This year is a little bit different, I have done some homework, but I have caught myself in the gym alot lately. But, here is my top 10 and it will surprise some people. I will have some teams in there that you don't expect and at least 1 team that I think is entirely overrated and will not be in there. I like my top 5 but 6-10 I am typing this up and thinking am I really doing this, WOW!!! SO much will be answered after week 1.

1)ALABAMA: As long as Nick Saban is in T Town, they will always be a top 5 preseason team.  They lost alot last year, but bring in true freshman Yeldon and Cooper that were headbusters. I expect more of the same. The O line will be a question at first, with only 2 returning starters, but they will just reload that thing and every other spot that needs it with 4 and 5 stars. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

2)OREGON: Chip Kelly may be gone to the NFL, but you bring back Mariota and Thomas on Offense, and this thing isn't going to miss a beat. They will put up alot of points and be in every game.

3)GEORGIA: This may surprise some people especially with all the defensive players they lose. But let's not forget they were 1 play 5 yards away from going to the NC game and beating ND. They have 9 starters back on O including Murray, which was a 1st team All SEC member. Gurley and Marshall are back as tailbacks and from what I am heaaring both are bigger than last year. I think this team could be special again and WILL win the East easily. I see 10-2 at worst for them.

4)OHIO STATE: This is as low as you will see these guys. Meyer has his thing going in Columbus and has Miller back.  They could play for a NC and thier soft schedule sets up for it. But I dont see them as very good right now, especially with some issues they have had in the off season with big time playmakers both at RB and CB.

5)STANFORD:  2 years after Harbaugh and Luck leave for the NFL, they are still a force to be reackon with. They play good D and just grind you down running the ball on O.  They will challenge Oregon for the Pac 12 Championship again this year.

6)SOUTH CAROLINA: 1 thing hear to say CLOWNEY. He is a MONSTER and will have to play like 1 all season to keep SC up this high. The tandom of Shaw and Thompson will have to be huge at the QB position.

7)CLEMSON: They open with UGA, so we will learn alot about this team right off the bat. They lose alot with Ellington and Hopkins bieng gone, but they return Boyd and Watkins.  Like I said, we will learn about this right out of the gates.

8)FLORIDA STATE: JEMEIS WINSTON is all I have heard about this off season from

9)LSU: The mad hatter is loving this right now. Noone is counting LSU in, its all Bama, Texas AM, UGA, South Carolina. This is when he seems to do his best magic tricks. They lose a ton on Defense, but just like Bama, they will replace those guys with 4 and 5 stars that have been sitting on the bench. This is the scariest team in my top 10, because of the unknown.

10)LOUISVILLE: Teddy Bridgewater burst onto the scene last year vs Florida in the Bowl game. He will have to be HUGE if the Cardinals are going to havet o have a shot.
