Surprisingly, Ohio State is ranked No. 1, and Florida State is ranked No. 2, both of which are ranked ahead of Alabama. The particulars of this matchup — Alabama vs. FSU — will get sorted out pretty early, however, as the Tide play the Seminoles in Atlanta on Sept. 2 to kick off the college football season.

The SEC’s other four entrants into the early Top 25 are no strangers to the spotlight, as Auburn checks in at No. 10, closely followed by LSU and Georgia at Nos. 12 and 13 respectively. Florida rounds out the list at No. 21 as it takes the field in defense of their SEC East title.

What is so surprising? Ohio State has 15 returning starters from a team in the last Final 4 & FSU has 16 returning starters. Plus, I really don't care what preseason polls say, what happens at the end of the season is what counts.
