Way too early top 25 for 2017

[Mistaken4193]

Damn that Bama/FSU matchup could be the most anticipated non conference regular season game in history. Especially if its #1 vs #2

Meanwhile, the barn will continue chasing their dream of another NC trophy ...

FSU should not be number 2, Francois didn't prove he can carry the team, O-line needs help, and they are losing the best player in program history.

We lost Deion Sanders a long time ago.

We lost Deion Sanders a long time ago.

Deion is my second favorite player of all time, behind Dan Marino, but as far as strictly being an FSU football player, I put Cook ahead of him.

This is not something I have a problem disagreeing on, whatsoever

Alabama, Florida State lead Way-Too-Early 2017 Top 25
12. Michigan

 

[Brasky]

Michigan's whole team is gone but yeah they top 15.

Preseason rankings get more meaningless every single year.

 

[ckhokie]

Preseason rankings are literally the worst part of CFB. Georgia? LSU? Michigan? Whatever.

I thought they did pretty well with Michigan when comparing their preseason ranking to their post season ranking. LSU, Georgia...that was pretty bad.

If I had to choose:

1) Alabama
2) Ohio State
3) Florida State
4) Oklahoma
5) USC (This may be a HUGE year for them)
6) Penn St
7) Washington
8) LSU
9) Clemson
10) Michigan
11) Stanford
12) Wisconsin
13) Oklahoma St
14) South Florida
15) Georgia
16) Louisville
17) Auburn
18) Tennessee
19) Texas
20) Boise St
21) Miami
22) West Virginia
23) Kansas St.
24) Colorado
25) Oregon

Colorado might only win 6-7 games. Oregon has a ton of work on defense before they can crack the top 25.

That's why they are #24 and #25...basically giving them a free pass on previous seasons performance (Oregon a few years ago, and Colorado last year). Really, if you are ranked higher than #20, it really doesn't matter. I don't think there is much difference between the #24-25 ranking, and a team that would rank #40.

1. Alabama
2. USC
3. Oklahoma
Because what is returning.

4. Clemson
Because current NC winner.

5-25.....
7 other SEC teams, you know, because.

Sprinkle in some high profile names like Michigan, Ohio State, FSU, PSU, Louisville.
And then some kind of dark horse picks like Boise State, Okie Jr., Texas, Minny.

And there you have it.
