One of the (few) highlights of the college football offseason comes every spring/summer as the preseason college football magazines start to hit the newsstands in anticipation for the upcoming season.

Believe it or not, the 2020 Athlon Sports college football preview magazine is already available for pre-sale on Athlon’s online store and expected to hit stores soon. This year, Athlon Sports is once again selling a national preview magazine as well as an SEC preview magazine.

In anticipation of the upcoming release of the magazines, Athlon Sports has released its projected top 25 teams for 2020 college football season.

The SEC is represented six times on the list: #2 Alabama, #6 Florida, #7 Georgia, #8 LSU, #11 Texas A&M and #13 Auburn.

Keep in mind, these rankings are not Athlon’s preseason ranking heading into the season. These rankings are a reflection of where Athlon predicts these teams to finish in the rankings by the end of the 2020 college football season.
