Week 0: Pre-Season 2017

Here is BYU's pre-season game commentary and pre-season polls. I love watching how the top teams picked by those who work in the industry, fare throughout the season. I've included my Top 5. Although I know these polls are based on who is considered best right now, mine is an end-of-season prediction.

BYU vs Portland State
All I can say is I hope BYU was holding their cards close so LSU would have no idea how to prepare. I sure had no idea what they were doing. They looked un-practiced and execution on both sides, and special teams, was sloppy and inconsistent. Yes - there were moments where you could see potential talent but it was a very low key, uninspiring game.

Me:
1. Washington
2. Penn State (I just really don't want Urban Meyer in there again, but he is that good).
3. Oklahoma State
4. Alabama
5. Georgia (of course)

I don't think 'Bama or Clemson can put it all together, again. But I do think Chris Peterson just might.
