Clemson TigersClemson came so close to winning a national title last year. Can the Tigers get back to the College Football Playoff and finish the job with?Deshaun Watson?at the helm? Read ?3. Oklahoma SoonersWith a high-powered offense and big expectations, will Bob Stoops and company deliver? Read ?4. Florida State SeminolesDalvin Cook is a Heisman hopeful, but can he carry the Seminoles back into the playoff? Read ?5. LSU TigersThe Tigers return key offensive weapons in Leonard Fournette, Malachi Dupre and Travin Dural -- but the biggest question mark remains quarterback Brandon Harris. ?Read ?6. Ohio State BuckeyesThe Buckeyes are primed to challenge for a Big Ten title despite a mass exodus of veteran talent to the NFL in the offseason.?Read ?7. Stanford CardinalTwo losses kept the Cardinal out of the College Football Playoff last season. Even with Heisman Trophy hopeful Christian McCaffrey, Stanford again faces a tough road schedule with games at UCLA, Notre Dame, Washington and Oregon. ?Read ?8. Michigan WolverinesThe Wolverines have the second-easiest schedule among Power 5 teams, but the real test will come in their final three road games at Michigan State, Iowa and Ohio State. It could be enough to keep them from 10 wins. ?Read ?9. TennesseeThe Vols are the most experienced Power 5 team in the country, led by quarterback Joshua Dobbs and two superb running backs in Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara. Theyll be in the hunt for an SEC title all season. ?Read ?10. Notre DameWill Malik Zaire or DeShone Kizer take the top job? That could be the biggest deciding factor in the Irish competing for a national title. Notre Dame will look to replace six of its top seven receivers from a season ago. ?Read ?11. Ole MissLed by one of the nations most dangerous passers, Chad Kelly, and some of the SECs top receivers, the Rebels have change to compete for a league title in 2016. If anything keeps them from double-digit wins, it could be depth. ?Read ?12. Houston CougarsThe Cougars have a Heisman-level quarterback in Greg Ward Jr., a strong front seven and an up-and-coming coach in Tom Herman working in their favor this season. ?Read ?13. Michigan State SpartansThe Spartans are getting picked behind both Ohio State and Michigan in almost every Big Ten East preview, and the chip on their shoulders should serve them well. They should be very competitive despite losing quarterback Connor Cook and their two best receivers.?Read ?14. Washington HuskiesAfter struggling to make a bowl game a year ago, the Huskies have a chance to crack double-digit wins this year, thanks to a defense that should be one of the best in the country.?Read ?15. TCU Horned FrogsThe Horned Frogs have some question marks, including a new starting QB in Kenny Hill, but Gary Patterson has been known to get the most out of his teams. Read ?16. USC TrojansThe Trojans did not play their best football after Clay Helton was given the permanent job last year -- and that should give bettors pause -- but the talent is here to navigate a tough schedule and put up a high win total. Read ?17. UCLA BruinsThe Bruins have been difficult to figure out during the Jim Mora era, but QB Josh Rosen has helped make UCLA a prime contender in the Pac-12 race (and perhaps the College Football Playoff race). Read ?18. Georgia BulldogsIf its running backs can stay healthy, Georgia is a formidable team. However, uncertainty at QB could be an issue, along with Alabama. Read ?19. Louisville CardinalsWith QB Lamar Jackson running the show, Louisville should put up points. However, playing in the same division as Florida State and Clemson may prove too much to overcome. Read ?20. Oregon DucksWith another strong offense out in Eugene, will Mark Helfrichs team be able to return to the College Football Playoff? Read ?21. Oklahoma State CowboysThe Cowboys didnt finish last season on a strong note, getting blown out in their final three games. Can Mason Rudolph lead this team to the CFB Playoff? Read ?22. Baylor BearsIts been quite a tumultuous offseason in Waco. How will Baylor respond with a new coach but an offense still full of playmakers? Read ?23. Iowa HawkeyesAfter a 12-1 regular season in 2015, Iowa was thrashed by Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Can a potentially stronger team make a College Football Playoff run this year? Read ?24. North Carolina Tar HeelsWithout QB Marquise Williams, North Carolina comes into the season without as much hype. How will the Tar Heels fare in the ACC Coastal? Read ?25. San Diego State AztecsAt odds of 500-1, San Diego State is a long shot to make the College Football Playoff, let alone win it. Still, with a strong running game, defense and special teams, the Aztecs could be a good bet to go over their total. Read ?Pharrell x adidas NMD Human Race Black .
