The Georgia Bulldogs and Ohio State Buckeyes are expected to sit at the top of most preseason rankings.
Georgia brings back quarterback Carson Beck, who will be in the mix for the Heisman Trophy, and it reloaded a roster that has typically been one of the best in college football since Kirby Smart took over.
Ohio State had to retool its roster in the offseason after a frustrating end to last season. Ryan Day's team is the preseason favorite to win the newly-expanded Big Ten.
The reigning champion Michigan Wolverines have some work to do to compete with the top teams this season.
