1. Alabama ... Crimson Tide will stay on top until someone knocks them off, which may take awhile.
2. Texas ... Longhorns are building a dynasty bigger than when Darrell Royal was roaming the sidelines.
3. Florida ... Gators have to show some productivity on offense with a new quarterback, but defense is still GREAT.
4. TCU ... Horned Frogs benefit from playing in a favorable conference where they don't have to fight for their lives every week.
5. Georgia Tech ... Yellow Jackets have the good fortune of an offense no one can really figure out.
6. Auburn ... Surprised? You won't be by the end of the season with this talented team.
7. Oklahoma ... Sooners will be just fine. They are used to players leaving and have great depth.
8. Miami ... Hurricanes showed improvement last year, added some players and will be better.
9. LSU ... Tigers have talent on the par with Alabama and Florida, but just can't put it all together.
10. Florida State ... Seminoles are going to be better than a lot of people expect under Jimbo Fisher.
