McGowan Mania's Pre Season Top 25

Here are my pre-season Top 25 rankings

  1. Alabama -- A three-peat is a legitimate possibility.
  2. Stanford -- A dominant defense could mean a championship year.
  3. Ohio State -- Miller, no probation could mean magical year.
  4. Texas A&M -- Johnny Football and explosive offense could mean a big year.
  5. Oregon -- Mariota, Thomas will keep this offense running.
  6. Georgia -- Aaron Murray returns and Mark Richt is a great coach.
  7. Louisville -- An easy schedule could mean an undefeated season.
  8. South Carolina -- Gamecocks could still win the SEC.
  9. Clemson -- The Tigers are the class of a weak ACC.
  10. Oklahoma State -- If the Cowboys can find a QB, anything is possible.
  11. Florida -- Driskel should improve keeping the Gators contenders.
  12. Boise State -- The weak Mountain West should help the Broncos contend.
  13. Notre Dame -- Even without Golson the Irish are still BCS threats.
  14. Texas -- The pressure is on in Austin for the Longhorns to win.
  15. LSU -- Even in the brutal SEC West, the Tigers can survive.
  16. Michigan -- The Wolverines have talent and schedule to improve from 8-5.
  17. Florida State -- A successful year hinges on the 'Noles' new quarterback.
  18. UCLA -- Jim Mora has the talent on this roster to win the Pac 12.
  19. Baylor -- This might be the best team ever in Waco.
  20. Oklahoma -- There are a lot of questions on this roster but they are still expected to contend.
  21. Nebraska- If Taylor Martinez improves in big ways anything is possible.
  22. Oregon State -- If the Beavers find a QB, they could really surprise.
  23. Ole Miss -- Even with a tough schedule, the Rebels can contend.
  24. Wisconsin -- A fourth straight Rose Bowl isn't completely out of the question.
  25. Fresno State -- Derek Carr and the Bulldogs could be this year's version of Northern Illinois.
