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.

Here is how Bleacher Report predicts the first AP poll of the 2020 season to shake out:

#1 Ohio State

#4 Georgia

#5 LSU

#6 Oklahoma

#7 Florida

#8 Penn State
