I started doing my own personal Top 25 about a year ago just because I have always been a college football junkie — not just a die hard Hurricane. I love the sport as a whole and the impact that a single program can have on a specific region. It’s awing to me how over a hundred thousand people can gather for a game decked out in all white in Happy Valley or in the Big House to watch Michigan. There is a chord that college football programs strike with people that make it unique to anything else.
I have learned in my time ranking teams that pre-season rankings are tough.
