Phil Steele has released his annual top 25 college football projections.
Topping the rankings are none other than the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes. With a number of key returnees and standouts like Joey Bosa and Ezekiel Elliott, the Buckeyes are loaded with talent and could be destined to repeat.
Rounding out the top four — which would land the teams in the College Football Playoff — are the TCU Horned Frogs, Alabama Crimson Tide and Baylor Bears.
The Oregon Ducks finish out the top five.
