13 preseason polls now included in full (ESPN.com, Bleacher Report, CBSSports, Sporting News, ESPN FPI, Fansided.com, Sports Illustrated, Athlon, Yahoo Sports, McIllece Sports, Lindy's, Street & Smith).
Here are the combined rankings:
1. Alabama- 320
2. Ohio State- 305
3. Florida State- 294
4. USC- 284
5. Clemson- 251
6. Penn State- 249
7. Oklahoma- 248
8. Washington- 243
9. Auburn- 203
10. Oklahoma State- 183
11. Wisconsin- 182
12. LSU- 178
13. Michigan- 174
14. Georgia- 154
15. Louisville- 152
16. Stanford- 134
17. Florida- 99
18. Miami- 78
19. S. Florida- 71
20. Kansas State- 68
21. Texas- 64
22. W. Virginia- 60
23. Tennessee- 38
24. TCU- 34
25. Washington State- 31
26. Notre Dame- 30
27. Virginia Tech- 28
28. Oregon- 22
29. Boise State- 13
30. Nebraska- 7
31. Texas A&M- 6
31. NC State- 6
33. Northwestern- 5
34. UCLA- 3
35. Pittsburgh- 2
35. Utah- 2
37. Mississippi St.- 1
37. Memphis- 1
37. N. Carolina- 1
37. Wyoming- 1
I've found that once you get this many preseason polls all averaged together, it becomes a fairly accurate projection of what the actual AP Poll will look like in August upon its initial release. Most every team should be within 2-3 spots of where they sit above.

Nice. Glad we're not top 5 again. Honestly it'd be great if we weren't ranked at all

I think Auburn will start that high so they can hype the Clemson game at the beginning of the year. I wish we were mid-teens or so given our track record of not playing up to pre-season top tens.

We could beat every team 16-37 pretty much every Saturday and we aren't even on the list...

I dont get the AU and LSU. Would rank both 21 and 25 respectively
Posted on 6/6/17 at 10:27 am to BHMKyle
Auburn has high expectations?
Prepare for the crash and burn.

As with most AU seasons, if the QB is as good as the hype, they are in the right place.
If he isn't, 21 may be a reach

Georgia is going to win the National Championship.

Seems about right, but I thought UT said they should be top 10?
