College football's 2021 season is slated to start in late August, but it's never too early to project where all 130 teams will finish at the end of the year. Athlon Sports released its top 25 in May and now it's time to project the rest of the teams 26-130. Alabama takes the top spot at No. 1, with Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State as the other projected playoff teams. Georgia, Texas A&M, Iowa State, Cincinnati, Oregon and North Carolina round out the top 10.
Cincinnati ranks as the projected top Group of 5 team this fall, with Louisiana and Coastal Carolina also in the top 25.
