College football 2023: Projecting the preseason top-25 rankings

We all expect Georgia to be No. 1 but what about 2-5?

We’ve reached the end of July which means college football is less than a month away from its regular-season kickoff. Actual games – it feels like it’s been forever.

With that in mind, we know we’ll soon see the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and Associated Press Top 25 polls. How will those rankings look?

We took a look at four major college football outlets and how they ranked teams so far this preseason. Using a very complex formula (25 points for No. 1, 24 points for No. 2, and so on) in each poll, we put together a composite score to predict what the preseason top 25s will look like.

We can safely assume Georgia will be No. 1, but who else will be in the top-five?

Top 10?

Will Notre Dame sneak in there or not after a 9-4 campaign last year?

And where will the voters seemingly put the tiers?

Find out below as we used preseason rankings from Phil Steele, Athlon Sports, Lindy’s and the ESPN FPI to determine these.
