corchjay 5,311 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thought this might be a good discussion for the board as we wait for practice to start next week. I'm gonna post my prediction for the Top 25 after the season and before the bowls or playoffs start. 1. Ohio State 2. Oklahoma State 3. Auburn 4. USC 5. Oklahoma 6. Alabama 7. Clemson 8. Penn State 9. Louisville 10. Washington 11. USF 12. LSU 13. Miami 14. Nebraska 15. Florida 16. NC State 17. West Virginia 18. Kansas State 19. Florida State 20. Stanford 21. Wisconsin 22. Virginia Tech 23. Michigan 24. Georgia 25. Washington State Just missed the poll - Indiana, San Diego St. Utah, Memphis, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, BYU, Texas, UCLA, TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augolf1716 20,172 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I can see that maybe happening except USCw they have no open date for the season. Looking at their schedule I see two losses they are still hurting on depth and numbers. With no open date at all wear and tear on the bodies will catch up with them. Also not sold on us being #3 as of yet. Still have a few worries imo. I think NC St. could be higher PSU could go either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 I have Ohio St at 12-0, Okie State 11-1, Auburn 11-1, USC 11-1, and Oklahoma 11-1. USF 12-0 or 11-1. Washington, Penn State and NC State/Miami are the hardest to judge in my opinion. Whoever wins the UGA/UTk game will be in he bottom 5th of the rankings... i went with UGA plus UGA will get some pub when they beat ND in a scoring fest... 48-40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 I still only see one loss for USC on that schedule. Either at Wash st or Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU Is Gold 322 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I like the ranking. The only thing I know for sure I would change is Wisconsin. Their schedule creates a possibility for them to go undefeated or 1 loss in the regular season. I like the OKC, Penn St., and USF rankings. It's different, but very possible.

I looked at Wisc but the at Indiana and at Nebraska plus Michigan at home I thought could be 3 possible losses factor in a game that just somehow gets away and they are at 4 losses. I do agree they have a very favorable schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Need to preface that yes it is a homer pick with us at 3. I'd honestly have us start somewhere between 11-14 to start the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Top half of the ACC will be strong and I think they beat each other up. No one goes through with less then 2 losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
