Athlon Sports gives its projections for where all 130 FBS teams will finish at the end of the 2021 season.
Athlon notes that its college football top 130 team rankings for 2021 is not a preseason ranking of teams heading into the season, but rather a ranking that predicts where teams will finish after the national championship in January.
Unsurprisingly, Alabama is No. 1 on the list, while Clemson is ranked No. 2. Oklahoma and Ohio State are the other teams projected by Athlon to make the playoff.
Rounding out the top 10 are Georgia, Texas A&M, Iowa State, Cincinnati, Oregon and North Carolina, in that order.
