It’s never too early for the way-too-early top 25s, right?
Athlon Sports has been in the game for a long time, and the media outlet recently dropped its early top 25 teams for the 2016 season.
The top two certainly aren’t surprising, but most would flip the two teams based on the players returning. Could we see an Alabama vs. Clemson repeat in 2016? It could certainly happen.
Six SEC teams hopped into the top 25, with Alabama, Tennessee and LSU all being top 10 teams. Ole Miss, Georgia and Florida round out the top 25, and with the finish the Gators had — not to mention a major question at quarterback, it’s surprising Jim McElwain’s club is even ranked at all.
Here’s Athlon’s way-too-early top 25:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State
5. Florida State
6. Notre Dame
7. Michigan
8. Tennessee
9. LSU
10. Baylor
11. Michigan State
12. Stanford
13. Ole Miss
14. Oklahoma State
15. Houston
16. USC
17. Iowa
18. North Carolina
19. Washington
20. Georgia
21. TCU
22. Louisville
23. Washington State
24. Oregon
25. Florida
