Comments: Oklahoma brings home the top ranking due to all the talent they have returning. They return Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles who are their top two players on offense and the defense returns all their playmakers too. LSU and Alabama should be strong contenders too, but question marks at quarterback for both teams allowed Oklahoma to get the early nod. But I feel that Oregon could return to the National Title game with due to having everybody back on offense. If their defense can rebound from losing valuable players at linebacker and defensive line they should win the Pac 12 for a second straight year.
