I don't know if this is an overreaction or not, but I don't see an obvious NC favorite.
TOSU is #1, but the Buckeyes didn't exactly run roughshod over the Ohio Bobcats.
Penn State hasn't played a P4 opponent yet.
Michigan may be less than predicted.
Texas, preseason #3, has a QB problem.
Notre Dame is out of contention.
Clemson may be out of contention.
Georgia looks to be a few points better than Tennessee.
Tennessee looks like it could beat about anyone but could also choke away a seemingly strong lead.
Alabama looks good but not great.
LSU may be the best team in the SEC.
Texas A&M looks good after beating Notre Dame in South Bend. The Auburn-Aggie game should tell a lot.
OU looks better than I expected, and it could beat any team on its remaining schedule. But I also think that it could lose to any of those teams not named Kent State.
