Our Top Ten

Maybe I can handle this, post your own top ten here and I'll try and tabulate.  Maybe it's early for this, but it's July.  I'll have to mull over such a hyper serious topic ...

10 best teams?
Predicting the final top 10 teams at the end of the season?

It sounds like CD just wants to come up with a consensus Top 10 from our own community, rather than make it into a competition.

However, if it were a competition, then I'd measure absolute value of places "off" from the final, per ranking spot, per ballot.

Thats a good approach 

I would score 1 point for each team chosen that actually made the top 10 and 5 points for selecting a teams exact finish position

Here's 2022's preseason mag consensus top 10 and the actual AP final top 10:
1 Alabama
2 OSU
3 Georgia
4 Clemson
5 Michigan
6 Utah
7 ND
8 OU
9 A&M
10 Oregon
.
Final:
1 Georgia
2 TCU
3 Michigan
4 OSU
5 Alabama
6 Tennessee
7 Penn St
8 Warshington
9 Tulane
10 Utah
.
So we have 5 in both and obviously 5 dropped.  Only Penn St and Tennessee were consensus top 25 in the preseason.  So TCU, UW, and Tulane came from out of nowhere.

I'm just idly curious how "our" preseason poll would look relative to the various mags, probably very similar.

This is a stab at the final.

I plan on running an "Our Very Own Top 10" thread every week.
