Next year

[MoSooner69]

Got to think some of the same teams are going to be near the top next year.

Sooners will find out a lot early. They play three of this year's top eight teams in the first four games. But I am sure some will still trash their schedule.
Bama loses a lot but have to think Clemson and the Tide will open 1-2.

Clemson should be the early favorite I would imagine.

Georgia Tech, just because there will be no expectations and all the young players who were forced into action this year have experience.
