The AP and Coaches poll are yet to come but here there the conference picks from Athlon, CFN, ESPNFPI, Lindy's, Massey and Phil Steele.

It is unanimous! The best teams are Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Miami, Ohio St, Wisconsin, Washington, USC and of course Oklahoma.

It is unanimous! Syracuse, Virginia, Rutgers, Illinois, Oregon St and Kansas. Ole Miss and Arkansas are about equally divided for the bottom in SEC West. Arizona St kept Colorado from getting all the votes in Pac12 South.

I’m not following. Is there a link that’s missing?
Sorry. No link. I took all the preseason conference picks from all six of those sources and this is the unanimous conference picks, top and bottom. Kansas was picked to finish last in the Big 12 by all six sources and Oregon St was picked by all six to finish last in the Pac North.

I won't lie - I'd rather see us ranked way too low (Even at like #6-10) than ranked #1. If memory serves, we don't have the best record when we are the pre-season #1......
If not for Clemson beating us in the NCG the 2016 team would have started the season #1 and ended it #1 IIRC. I think it would be fun to actually complete that this time. And if there is a team to do it I think one with Tua at QB will have the best shot.

We were #1 Preseason last year
We were #1 Preseason in 2015
We were #2 Preseason in 2012
We were #2 Preseason in 2011
We were #5 Preseason in 2009

We were #1 Preseason in 2016
We were #2 Preseason in 2014
We were #1 Preseason in 2013
We were #1 Preseason in 2010

Sure is hard to tell when you are Preseason #1 and #2 ever year this decade.... (1st world Bama Football Problems)

I would love to see #1preseason and post season. Wire to wire so to speak. Hasn’t been done in a while, just another accomplishment for Coach and the University. Plus, I would like to keep rising on the ‘ most weeks at #1 ‘ list. Again, just another accomplishment.

The main reason that I want Alabama to start at #1 is to lock in the streak of seasons with at least one week ranked #1. After the games begin, the rest is a crap shoot.
