1. Ohio State Buckeyes were a disappointment in 2015, but are hungry to rebound.
2. Oklahoma Stoops faces high expectations as Sooners are widely expected to make playoffs.

5. LSU Questions at LB and lack of offensive cohesiveness could get in the way.
6. Florida State Quietly, the Seminoles have underachieved since winning it all in 2013.

15. Oklahoma St. Cowboys have a high ceiling but something always seems to derail this train.
16. TCU Patterson’s resume commands respect, but Horned Frogs always seem to be two players short.
17. Michigan St. How the Spartans bounce back from playoff disaster will tell the tale early.
18. Ole Miss Rebels may have lost a little too much up front to hang with the contending teams.
19. Baylor Bears are one negative news story away from being declared a complete disaster area in 2016.
20. Texas A&M Aggies seem to be coming around to what’s important to winning in the SEC: Talent on defense.
21. Florida Not enough talent, not enough QB acumen to believe Gators will be more than an also-ran.
22. Washington Huskies appear to be the best of the second-line PAC-12 teams in 2016.
23. Oregon Systems and speed are catching up to the Ducks. Can they innovate once more?
24. Washington St. Cougars were quietly a success story in 2015. Now it’s time to take the next step.
