I was born in Michigan and grew up a Michigan fan until I went to Clemson. They'll go 7-6 this year. Shouldn't be sniffing the top 10.

people's opinions, and nobody would be interested in them if they were just last year's rankings. Part of the excitement of CFB is that teams change so much from year to year.

Remember the spring of 2016 when everyone said, "If a team wins the national championship they will be #1 until someone beats them?"
Now ESPiN wonders why their empire is falling? Yeah, it's the politics that's causing everyone to change the channel. Sure thing.

And you know Oklahoma wants no part of Clemson any time soon. What a heck of a run Clemson is having.

Ah, time for preseason polls. Count on three teams to be overrated- Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Southern Cal. I can't believe Notre Dame is not on this list.

I'm not sure either is going to be very good defensively.

Both could have great offenses though. Also, neither are elite on either line. I think both could potentially make the playoff, but neither will be good enough to win the natty.
Penn State has to play at Ohio State this year... that's going to be tough.

I was born in SC, raised in SC, will never leave SC. I say No Ma'am/Yes Maam, No Sir/Yes Sir. I know that Coots will keep Cooting, and I have NO idea where Michigan will end up this year. (Sorry if that was too much, it just seemed there was a proclaim your state trend there and I hated to miss it). Go Tigers!

Isn't preseason fun. We criticize the predictions, offer our own opinion, especially unbiased to our favorite teams  and look to the past predictions of the self-professed experts to prove them wrong once again. They got Clemson and Alabama right in May of 16 for 2 of Top 4. Rest were woefully wrong. ESPN doesn't have a corner on the market for bad and ugly predictions. But we want to read em anyway, so that's why they do it. Isn't spring and summer fun awaiting for fall?
