Your Pre-Season Top Five Prediction

- Start date
Good thread Sip.
This is the my prediction for the preseason AP/coaches top 5:
1. Alabama - Will get the benefit of the doubt considering we've won the NC half the time over the past 8 years.
2. Clemson - Hands down the best QB in the country and an explosive offense.
3. LSU - Fournette + the new DC from Wisconsin should propel LSU this year.
4. Oklahoma - Baker Mayfield is probably the 2nd best QB in the country.
5. FSU - Dalvin Cook and a loaded FSU roster will have them in the hunt. Need better QB play.
Next 5 in no particular order - Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan St, Stanford, Baylor.

They have? Haven't seen much talk about OU from the national guys.
Michigan State returns 10 starters. One key loss - Conner Cook. Also, they lose their starting LT, WR, and C. Will be difficult for them next season with replacing those key components.
Did Dalvin Cook not go pro? If he didn't then I think FSU can challenge Clemson in the ACC.

No. He was a sophomore last year and not eligible for the draft. He'll be a junior this year..
Well that will be your Heisman race then. Cook vs. Watson.
Of course, the kid at Stanford is likely to get a lot of publicity since so many thought he deserved it last year.
Yep. I think it'll probably start off as a 4 player race between Cook, Watson, McCaffrey and Fournette..
Heck I forgot about Fournette.
But of course he'll fall out of the race when he's held to less than 50 yards against BAMA in early November.
Not sure why that's blue. This defense could be as nasty, if not nastier, than last year's.
I'm pretty certain I'm an outlier here, but that's okay. I've been reading article after article about how LSU has the best chance to win the conference and how much they need to win it, so I'm guessing they'll affect Alabama's votes in pre-season.

Top 5 scrambles pretty fast. Alabama VS LSU and TOSU VS Michigan...
Still these are the best of the best.

Ohio State plays Oklahoma very early in Norman in the first meeting of the two giants in 33 years. Could end up being one of the best games of the year.

I like it. A lot of the top teams play each other in season this year so we shouldn't have to hear the proverbial "team x hasn't played anybody" when the playoff rankings start coming out..
You want your best players on the field, but that smacks of questionable player succession planning somehow. Did the backups get a lot of playing time last year?
Not really - we struggled too much offensively, so didn't have huge leads. But when you are in the hunt for a championship, you just play. You let next season take care of itself.
I think whichever teams loses the Ohio State vs Oklahoma game will most likely be out of playoff contention. I don't think either team will run the rest of their schedule without a loss..
