From Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report:
1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State
5. LSU
6. Georgia
7. Texas A&M
8. Wisconsin
9. Michigan
10. Florida
11. USC
12. Iowa State
13. Boise State
14. Virginia Tech
15. Baylor
16. Auburn
17. Penn State
18. Memphis
19. Texas
20. Notre Dame
21. UCF
22. Iowa
23. Oregon
24. Indiana
25. Tennessee
I imagine we'll see a lot of Way too Early rankings in the next couple of weeks that look similar...
*Clemson & Alabama #1 and #2 because that's all any of these people know what to do.
*Texas A&M and Tennessee way over-rated
*Auburn stuck right in the middle because no one ever knows which direction they'll go
*Texas and Notre Dame always inserted somewhere between #15 and #20, no matter how good they'll actually be.
After pretty much everyone in the media whiffed on Iowa State last year, I find it odd this person would double down and move them up even higher for next year's preseason.

Way too much stock in returning starters for A&M.

My first thought was, if tua leaves there's no way bama should be #2. But then I thought well how good will OU/LSU really be with new Qbs as well? Surprised OSU isn't the 2 or 3 spot.
Also aTm at 7 wtf?

Clam will be a pretty good bet at #1 with returning Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State with Fields in his 2nd year is a solid #2. Then Bama only because QB isn't as dynamic as 1 & 2. After that a I have a bunch of SEC teams leading the top 10
1. Clemson - Lawrence and return a lot on defense.
2. Ohio State - year 2 with Fields.
3. Alabama - stacked roster just need some leadership on defense.
4. Georgia - stacked roster and Fromm's 4th year.
5. Florida - Mullen will win the SECE soon and has the Gatas moving in right direction. He's gonna get them to the CFPOS soon.
6. Oklahoma
7. Texas A&M -Jimbo gonna turn them around .. see bug improvement soon
8. Wisconsin
9. Auburn
10. Michigan
11. Lsu1* - will take a big step back.. could end up losing 4+ games as their road schedule is going to be brutal for them. Bama, @Aub, @TAMU, @UF ...better hope they don't frick up and lose to Texas in game #2 as they be staring down a 5 loss season which would absolutely kill any momentum they'd have for being in round 1 of playoffs.

It’ll depend on what juniors we get back (not even counting Tua). If we get 1 of our tackles back and maybe 1 of Ruggs and Smith back then this could be the best Bama team of the last 5 years.

I would bet today sight unseen that BOTH Florida and Auburn would beat aTm next year along with Daddy LSU.
It is incredibly stupid to even imagine Florida or Auburn losing to aTm. It’s not gonna happen.
aTm has a week schedule on the front end and will likely be undefeated going into the Auburn game on October 17.
They play Arkansas and State before Auburn and will be riding high thinking they have something and the Auburn will slam the door on their asses.
They then play South Carolina, ole Piss and Vandy. They may win all three but likely lose one of them.
Then they have Bama and LSU to end the season. They get fricking slammed by both. They beat they can get is 9-3. That’s the ceiling with Mond.
They probably go 8-4 if the truth is to be told.

Great! We get to play six of the top 16 schools.

Tennessee getting credit for Jennings and Calloway production even though they won’t be there anymore

With Bama's defense on the decline and combined with no QB, RB, and losing all their WRs isn't going to lead to them improving.

anything from bleacher report =

A&M, Wisconsin, and Michigan all above UF? Lol

There is no reason to believe that Bama is the #2 team in the country going into next year other than reputation bias.
Next Clemson plays no one. So again other than rating them on an “eye test” a number one ranking makes no sense.
The playoff will of course give better visibility to Clemson.
Ohio State will,have to prove it Saturday but at least they get a chance.
How exactly does an Oklahoma team considered a 13 point under dog to LSU start the year ranked ahead of LSU. Both teams lose their QB. Other than that.. what has changed
