Phil Steele projects preseason AP Top 10 for 2021
Spring practices are underway at the FBS level, but it’ll still be several months until the preseason AP Poll for the 2021 season is officially released.
However, college football guru Phil Steele has seen enough to make his projections for what the AP Poll top 10 will look like.
In his projections, he has 3 SEC teams making the top 10. It’s important to note that this is not how he’d rank the teams. Rather, these are his predictions for what the AP Poll will look like when it is released:
- Alabama
- Clemson
- Georgia
- Oklahoma
- Ohio State
- Texas A&M
- Notre Dame
- North Carolina
- Iowa State
- Cincinnati
Obviously, there are plenty of familiar faces in that top 10, especially in the top 5. Steele notes that his top 10 projections have been perfect each of the last 3 years, so this is a pretty good predictor of how things will go.
Now, we’ll just have to wait and see if Steele goes 4 for his last 4.
It’s gratifying to see the level of concern all the Georgia fans have for the Florida football program.
LOL
Gator fans are exactly the same
Fortunately football is played on the field and not in the collective heads of the AP voters. It would be interesting to see if Steele (or anyone else) can predict how the final pole turns out. Spoiler alert – you”d have to include Norte Dame and Oklahoma “just because”. They don’t necessarily deserve it. P.S. Alabama, Florida, Georgia and LSU should get bonus points because they run the gauntlet in the SEC.
You seem to have left an obvious choice off of your little bonus points list.
Dude A&M is not going to be #6 in the nation for long
And Georgia gonna get blown out by Clemson and because of that they are going to go down in rankings (and i Florida gets blown out well its going to be sad how much we go down)
Dude… LOL
