1. OSU
2. Baylor
3. Notre Dame
4. TCU
5. Alabama
6. Oregon
7. FSU
8. Ole Miss
9. USC
10. Auburn
11. MSU
12. UCLA
13. Georgia
14. Tennessee
15 or 16. LSU
The above is how I think the poll will look before the bowls.
I'm debateing/researching about putting a certain team at #15, thats why 15/16 for LSU. LSU is a threat to make the playoff but with losing DC Chavis I will not pick them to do so. They have a ton of talent. Took a LONG time for me to finally put them in the 4 position in the SEC West.
Auburn is a big threat to make the playoff, bigger than Ole Miss who I have ahead of Auburn. I could see Abuburn or Alabama making the playoff.
I never would have dreamt I would have FSU anywhere near the top 10 till I studied them. I know they lost a lot of talent and they skimmed by in a ton of games last Yr but they are a threat to go unbeaten.
I cant stand ND or OSU, but that doesn't ever stop me from forecasting what I think will happen. I hope ND loses several games, and now that I picked them they'll probably lose the opener to Texas.
TCU is a better team than ND but I have ND ahead of them in the poll. I see OSU beating TCU and Baylor beating Notre Dame. I havent made my final selection between Baylor and OSU.
USC is a big threat to make the playoff. They play at Note Dame Oct 17. They beat ND 49-14 at the end of last season. USC is at Oregon Nov 21. And those 2 could meet up a 2nd time.
