So just in case you guys didn't notice, I've been doing a preseason top 10 countdown on my twitter (@K_Mart10) leading up to the first Saturday of the college football season. Well, I ended that countdown tonight, and I've consolidated the complete list into this blog for your viewing pleasure.
No. 1 Ohio State
·
QBs Barrett & Jones are 2 of the best,
doesn't really matter who starts. Elliott is a beast, & OL is big and
physical.
·
D-Line is nasty, but IMO Bosa is a little overrated. Miller will
have a big year at WR. So tough to repeat, but who's going to beat them?
No. 2 TCU
· Trevone Boykin
is one of my fav players in the country. Reminds me of TB10. Season comes down
to @OKLA
& vs.BAY in last 2 weeks.
No. 3 Oregon
·
Big fan of
the QB Adams and the Ducks' offense as a whole. I think they make the playoff
again & might win the whole thing.
No. 4 Baylor
·
Return
1k-yd RB, 2 1k-yd WRs, & all 5 OL. Russell is legit dual-threat QB. DL is
top 10 in CFB, & entire secondary is back.
No. 5 Michigan State
·
Very good defense and legit, veteran QB are why I have them so high on
my list. Think they lose late @Ohio State.
No. 6 Georgia
·
Chubb is poised
for HUGE year. LBs lead Pruitt's improving Def & w/just solid play from QB
Ramsey, Dawgs will have 10+ W season.
No. 7 USC
·
Big fan of Sark
& QB Kessler. Cravens leads the D, & finishing with @Oregon & vs. UCLA. Trojans could make
run to playoff.
No. 8 Alabama
·
Offense has
to replace A LOT, so I'm skeptical. Defense will be really good & have best
P in the nation. Down yr 4 the Tide.
· The more I think about it,
I really wish I hadn’t had them in this top 10. I think they’re in for a down
year.
No. 9 Auburn
·
I'm a
believer in new QB Jeremy Johnson & a huge fan of WR Duke Williams.
Malzahn's O will thrive w/the better passer Johnson.
·
Johnson is a better passer
than Marshall was, but is physical runner also. Several options @ RB 4 the
Tigers, but Robinson is a kid I like.
·
Muschamp will definitely
help improve the defense. Secondary is still a big questions mark, but D-Line
is nasty. Lawson, Adams, Cowart, etc.
·
Not a terrible schedule,
LOU to open the season could be tricky, but all comes down to last 4 weeks: @aTm, then vs. UGA, Idaho, & Bama.
·
Could be a special season
for the Tigers on the Plains. All rides on Jeremy Johnson's development &
Muschamp's improving defense. #No9Auburn
No. 10 Notre Dame
·
The
Fighting Irish are big and physical. Zaire is a dual-threat QB that brings an
added dimension to the offense.
·
O-Line is solid, and WR is
deep. The DT Day, CB Russell, and LB Smith anchor a solid defense. Have a big
question mark at safety right now.
·
Schedule is tough w/ GT
and USC at home, and Clemson & Stanford on the road. I think Kelly's group
takes some Ls this season. #No10NotreDame
A few sleeper teams: Arizona State, Texas A&M, UCLA, Georgia Tech
As always, you better watch out for my Clemson Tigers!
