2018 College Football Preseason Top 10

A lot of you guys don't follow me on twitter (@K_Mart10), but I did a preseason top 10 countdown leading up to the first Saturday of the college football season on 9/1. I've consolidated the complete list into this blog for your viewing pleasure.

No. 1 Alabama
  • Hurts, Tua it doesn’t matter. The Tide are still on top until someone knocks them off. Their defense will be nasty as always. Should be another CFP appearance for Alabama. #No1Alabama

No. 2 Clemson
  • Defense will be nasty, led by the best D-Line in the country. QB Kelly Bryant should have an even better year with upgraded weapons (i.e. Tee Higgins), but watch out for Trevor Lawrence. Tigers should be in for another special season & CFP appearance. #No2Clemson

No. 3 Georgia
  • QB Jake Fromm is only going to get better, & RB D’Andre Swift is going to be a superstar with Heisman potential. Defense has to replace 6 starters, but Dawgs have a lot of young guys ready to fill that void. Should be another special season. #No3Georgia

No. 4 Ohio State
  • Haskins at QB is going to be a player, & the RB duo of Dobbins & Weber is among the best in the nation. D-Line is NASTY. Buckeyes have holes to fill at LB & in the secondary, but they have some guys in those spots that are stars in the making. #No4OhioState

No. 5 Washington
  • Return a bunch of talent on Defense, including ALL 5 starters from the secondary. Murphy & Rapp are 2 really good players back there. Offense should be good behind QB Jake Browning & RB Myles Gaskin. Huskies have a shot to make the playoff. #No5Washington

No. 6 Wisconsin
  • RB Taylor, QB Hornibrook, & a STUD O-Line make this Badger team very formidable. The Big 10 is tough this year, but I think they’ve got a real shot to make the playoff if a few things go their way. #No6Wisconsin

No. 7 Auburn
  • I think this can be a really good squad with Stidham at QB & a nasty defense. The issue is they play the 4th-toughest schedule in the country. I think the Tigers start out 0-1, but still have a really good season. #No7Auburn

No. 8 Penn State
  • QB Trace McSorley is an absolute gamer. Nittany Lions return their best O-Line in years, they just need a few guys to step up on Defense. #No8PennState

No. 9 Oklahoma
  • Defense is still suspect for the Sooners, but the trio of QB Kyler Murray, RB Rodney Anderson, & WR Hollywood Brown will be fun to watch in year 2 of the Lincoln Riley regime. The road to the Big 12 still runs through Norman. #BoomerSooner #No9Oklahoma

No. 10 West Virginia
  • BIG fan of QB Will Grier. Defense needs to improve from last season (I think they will), but they just need to be serviceable. Need another playmaker to stop up on offense, but Grier & WR David Sills V can carry them to a lot of Ws. #No10WVU
