So, according to ESPN, a few hours after the championship game, it's time to start talking about 2014

SEC (8) #2 Bama, #5 Auburn, #10 LSU, #11 Georgia, #13 South Carolina, #16 A&M, #20 Ole Miss, #25 Florida

PAC-12 (6) #3 Oregon, #4 Stanford, #7 UCLA, #14 USC, #19 Washington, #22 Arizona State

B1G (4) #6 Mich State, #9 Ohio State, #15 Wisconsin, #21 Iowa

ACC (3) #1 Florida State, #17 UNC, #18 Clemson

Florida #25? After a 4 win season? Will there be no end to the ESPN-SEC love fest?

I laugh at it for this season...Louisville returns 10 Starters on Offense with backup RB Michael Dyer back from injury and 8 Starters from the 2012/2013 on the Nations #1 Total and Scoring Defense...not in the Way Too Early Top 25...really...

That's a perfect example of a team more deserving of a preseason #25 ranking than Florida. I think Miami or Duke are two other examples in the ACC alone. Certainly there are others. But 4-8 Florida? Come on.

Agreed....CBS doesn't have Florida in their Top 25...they have Louisville in that spot.

I think Duke and Louisville should be in the top preseason top 25 way before Florida. I think Duke is returning too many starters to not garner at least some recognition heading into next season. Where is CBS early top 25? I havent seen it

I posted it on the board:

Especially when you consider Florida's schedule next year consists of five teams listed in the same Top 25 and all are ranked higher than UF.

They obviously knocked Clemson down to 18 for losing so many players... yet doesn't S Carolina lose even more? So why are the Gamecocks #13?
meh.

I don't think SC is losing Connor Shaw. Have an experienced QB is a big deal.

Connor Shaw is GONE...

Louisville only lost Bridgewater on Offense-(That is it) and they return if you include returning from injury 7/8 players from the Nation #1 Defense...NOT RANKED after going 12-1..

Oh I mean Dylan Thompson who has shown he can play. That's a lot better than losing Taj Boyd to go to an unproven commodity.

Talk to me about Top 25 for 2014 next October.

Alabama at #2 is a joke....when will they not get a pass??

Auburn returns more, including an awesome QB, and they should be ahead of Alabama....

my top 5:

1. FSU
2. Auburn
3. Oklahoma
4. Oregon
5. UCLA
