NCAA Football Rankings 2018: Analysis for Latest Polls Before Week 1

The college football season is about to begin in earnest this weekend. The new season starts in a similar manner to the way the old one finished, with teams like Alabama, Georgia and Clemson at the top.

It may seem fairly clear that these three are the best teams in the country and that all will be in the College Football Playoffs at the end of the season, but factors like injuries, upsets, internal problems and overachieving opponents will have an impact on the season.

All three are great teams, but none of them has assurances that the season will play out as expected.
