Will #1 Florida State play in a 3rd straight title game? Sportswriters think so, but the Seminoles will face a very tough schedule to get their with a Week 2 matchup vs #5 Navy, Week 3 vs #17 South Carolina and Week 4 @ #25 Michigan State as well as road games @ Florida and @ #14 Clemson.
Ohio State starts the year #2, but like FSU they have a schedule that features 5 games vs Top-25 preseason teams including a Week 14 matchup vs #7 Michigan.
Boise State starts the year #3 after finishing last season #2 and undefeated. Will this be the year the Broncos finally get a chance to play for a National Title? Their non-conference schedule leads one to believe they could very well finish undefeated with home games vs UConn, USF and #24 Georgia Tech and a road game @ Troy. They also play their 2 biggest conference rivals #15 Oregon and #16 Washington both at home.
Alabama starts the year #4 and is looking to take the easy road this season playing zero games vs Preseason Top-25 teams until Week 10 vs #9 LSU and Week 14 @ #11 Auburn.
Navy starting the year #5 has created noise throughout the nation, and with matchups vs #23 Texas A&M, @ #1 FSU, vs #13 Notre Dame, @ #19 Syracuse, it looks like the Midshipsmen are not running from any fights.
