10. N. Carolina


Not buying this hype. I mean if we're taking into account the schedule, then yes they could be in the Top 10 at the end of the season but they will by no means be one of the ten best teams.

Here is their schedule:

@ UCF
Auburn
James Madison
Georgia Tech
@ Virginia
Virginia Tech
@ Duke
@ Miami
UConn
Pitt
@ Boston College
NC State

I mean their two toughest games are Week 1 and Week 2. If they were to upset Auburn, I think they could very easily be 12-0 but lacking a single win over a ranked team. Because if Auburn loses to UNC, they are probably also losing to UGA, Bama, LSU, and maybe A&M.

How would a 12-0 UNC be any different than a 12-0 UCF in past seasons that was ranked by the the Playoff Committee down around #20 despite being undefeated?

There is no way UNC has a talented enough roster to be a legit Top 15 team. They may get there because of a soft schedule, but they'll get smoked by Clemson in the ACC Championship game and smoked again in a NY6 Bowl.

Rarely wrong?

About what? Draft picks? College preseason rankings? What to eat for breakfast?

And LSU being at 13 is criminally underrating how much talent they still have 
I'm perfectly good with LSU sitting at 13 think it's funny or now LSU started at 13 before and moved steadily on up

True story: Gil Brandt told LSU’s AD “Hire Curley Hellman and never look back”.


He lost all credibility with me since then.

Oklahoma proves always they are in the top 10. But I question this decision as we have no clue what this QB is capable of. There are some returning offensive players and some talent on defense but nothing that says top three. Certainly not on the levels of Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson.

I don't care what LSU lost, I wouldn't put Texas A&M above them.

Guess what — These suckass Picks Mirror Phil Steele’s Picks

Anyone with half a FB brain knew Michigan wasn’t going to the playoffs in 2019.

They weren’t close on Michigan or Bama or LSU — Ham n eggers

I'm sure if OP keeps looking hard enough he'll find a ranking with A&M number 1.

Looking at this poll logically, it seems pretty accurate.

Probably could switch UCF and LSU, other than that, it's fine.

If you have to declare things like "(absolute legend, rarely wrong)", then it probably means it's not true.
