Thoughts on top 10:

Georgia #1:

Well how's that for a surprising pick? Personally, I couldn't agree more as Georgia has had the most impressive resume of all of the above ranked teams. A very deserved rank.

Notre Dame #3:

Notre Dame at three? This, as well as the Georgia at 1 ranking was the biggest shock. Year after year we see the same bias towards Notre Dame from the committee but I must admit, their lone loss is against number one ranked Georgia. We will see how real this Notre Dame team is after their showdown with Miami in two weeks.

Ohio State #6 & Penn State #7:

One would think that Ohio State would create a little more separation from Penn State after winning what seemed like the game of the year just last week. Ohio State will now win the conference if everything goes to plan and Penn State is left with only one option left to get into the top 4....Blow...everyone....out.

Miami #10:

Something about seeing one of the last unbeaten teams left in the country at ten seems a little strange. However the Hurricanes have come very close multiple times to losing their unbeaten streak this season. This weekend's primetime showdown with Virginia Tech will tell us if the U is officially back.

Preseason College Basketball Rankings and Players to Watch

*From NCAA Official Website Players to Watch: Grayson Allen(G, Duke): Fasten your seatbelts because we're coming in for a landing. The most polarizing player in the NCAA is back and he's ready to perform for the top ranked Blue Devils this year. Allen finished his junior campaign averaging 14.5 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 3.5 APG, and 1.0 TPG(trips per game). As demonstrated during his sophomore year, Allen has all the skills to be a top player in the NCAA, but if his behavioral antics continue then it could be another down season for the senior. Whether you love or hate Duke, Allen is a player that you cannot hide from your eyes. Allonzo Trier(G, Arizona): Returning for his junior season, Trier finished his sophomore year averaging 17.2 PPG while shooting 46% from the field and 39% from 3-point range. Trier made the smart move in returning to Arizona for his junior year and not entering the NBA Draft. After missing Arizona's first 19 games serving a drug related ...

Wolverines show progress heading into 2018-19 season

Is the University of Michigan simply a shell of what it used to be? Yes. Is Jim Harbaugh the most overrated coach in college football history? Possibly. Can Michigan contend for the College Football Playoff in 2018? Easily. While I understand Michigan has been preseason top-10 damn near every year since Harbaugh took the reigns and hasn’t done anything to legitimize these projections; this year is different.  Michigan is being kicked to the curb with 3 months still left until kick off in South Bend (which will make for a classic). With the unfair expectations lifted off the shoulders of the program this year, they should be poised to make a run.  I know the words Michigan and College Football Playoff just sound f*cking absurd together but hear me out on this one. The Wolverines are losing only 7 starters on what was already a talent filled roster. Pair that with the additions of Jim McElwain, a proven head coach taking an offensive coordinator assista...
