Here is your chance to predict how the media will rank the teams come this August. The most accurate poll will get a prize (@fordman84 can you help with that?)

I will take a stab here:

1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Alabama
4. Michigan
5. USC Trojans - I think they are going to get hyped up even more next year
6. LSU
7. Penn State
8. Clemson
9. Florida State - The annually overhyped team that will like finish the season ranked outside of the poll
10. Oregon
11. Notre Dame
12. Tennessee
13. TCU
14. Washington
15. Texas - Yes this will happen
16. UCLA
17. Utah
18. Kansas State - Annually underrated team that everyone thinks should be higher but media puts them down near the bottom
19. North Carolina
20. Ole Miss
21. Oregon State
22. Iowa
23. Texas A&M - Yes, I think it will happen
24. Oklahoma - Yes I think this happens as well because *recruiting* just like Aggie
25. Illinois - Because there just isn't enough B1G teams in this poll so they will pick one for the perennial top 25. However, this could also easily be Purdue, Michigan State, or Wisconsin
 
I'll take a crack:

1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Michigan
4. USC
5. LSU
6. Alabama
7. Florida State
8. Penn State
9. Notre Dame
10. Oregon
11. Tennessee
12. Texas
13. Washington
14. TCU
15. Kansas State
16. North Carolina
17. Clemson
18. Ole Miss
19. Oklahoma
20. Utah
21. UTSA
22. Wisconsin
23. Texas A&M
24. Tulane
25. UCLA

I feel like Illinois may be a stretch but Wisconsin shouldn't be. Brought in a high end coach and might have actual QB talent to go with a reasonably solid defense that should get better with Fickell there.

I don't think anyone could be dumb enough to put a team that missed a bowl in the top 10.
Which means most of the CFB writers will do exactly that. And A&M fans will once again take it in the shorts about how we are calling predicting playoffs and natty's by mouth breathers around here.

If Harbaugh returns, Michigan should land in the top 3 with JJ, Corum and Edwards returning.

You followed OP well. It isn't our rankings but what we think AP will rank. Honestly, it is easier to predict that then the actual top 25.

Did Bama land a QB in the portal? Because if they're rolling with that Milroe kid, that's not a top 5 team.

bucknut message boards.. by way of a couple tosu friends i have.. They think it's a longshot but they do think he's considering it.. Guess the Texans really are scaring him lol. Which I don't blame, that has to be one of the worst run franchises in the NFL

That would be a very interesting but I'm not sure I'd like to see it. Dude needs to go get paid. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if Bryce goes first. I've yet to hear anything credible about CJ coming back though.
