FRD's Entirely Too Early College Football Preview:National Outlook

"Gimme 'dat Heisman Nigga"- Beanie Wells

We've broken down every conference over the last few days so all that is left is the national scene.  Let me start by saying I reserve the right to change this before the start of the season, but I most likely will stick with it.  

The top 5 teams are, in my opinion, the major national title contenders.  After that I could see the next 7 teams as being sleeper title contenders.  After that it's pretty much up for grabs and I expect a lot of fluctuation like we saw in last years top 25 poll.  This poll should be update weekly throughout the season.  

1. Oklahoma
2. Florida
3. Ohio State
4. USC
5. Georgia
6. LSU
7. Auburn
8. Penn State
9. Missouri
10. Wisconsin
11. Clemson
12. Texas
13. South Florida
14. Arizona State
15. Tennessee
16. Texas Tech
17. Virginia Tech
18. Notre Dame
19. West Virginia
20. TCU
21. Pitt
22. Cincinnati
23. BYU
24. Alabama
25. Michigan State

Heisman Watch List:  Let me say I'm downright terrible at predicting the Heisman winner.  In past years I've predicted Chris Sims, Roy Williams, Dwayne Jarrett, Chris Leak and Steve Slaton.  Hopefully I'm not a jinx as I have too much invested emotionally in this years pick
