FSU, Ohio State, Washington too high (I do endorse Washington as a top 15 team though). Michigan too low. Everything else is good enough. Louisville and Nebraska should finish with 10 or more wins

Phil Steele's preseason rankings are how he projects teams to finish the season--aka, FSU winning the national championship :l

Playoff would be a nice accomplishment. That said if you told me I could lock in a top 4 finish with a semifinal loss I would pass. This has been setup for a huge year and I am not ok saying its not a championship year. If we don't win it this year we likely have to wait 3 more years to be positioned where we are now. I can see this year being similar to 2011 except for the finish. This team is hungry and I can't but help think Miles wants it more as well given what almost happened last year.

Oklahoma is too high...but then again what did I expect? They're always considered to be a pre-season top 5 team.
