Bleacher Report predicts what the preseason AP Top 25 rankings will look like

The preseason Associated Press Top 25 rankings will be coming out soon but why wait for the rankings when we don’t have to do so?

Over at Bleacher Report, the outlet has predicted what the AP’s official preseason top 25 rankings will look like and they project seven teams from the Southeastern Conference to rank in the top 19.

The interesting part, for the first time in years, Alabama is not listed as either the No. 1 or No. 2 team in the preseason, although the Crimson Tide are ranked higher than any other SEC program according to this projection.

#1 Ohio State

#4 Georgia

#5 LSU

#6 Oklahoma

#7 Florida

#8 Penn State
