They won't even be #1 in the Pac. Definitely a top ten team though. Alot depends on who splits for the draft though. The Hogan is a gamer and their OLine is going to be elite.

I don't knew about #1 because of the QB situation.. But definitely top 5. Awesome defense.

They will be a top 5 team no doubt, i think they lose Chase Thomas(thank god), Stepfan Taylor, the center who is a beast and a couple more. Not sure if Zack Ertz is staying or going, i know he is a JR but he looks NFL ready to me.
Ben hogan looks scary good for a Freshman there coach is one of the best in the PAC12 and they have some beast recruits from last year for there OL: Kyle Murphy, Andrus Peat & Joshua Garnett. There just loaded and they scare the shit out of me.

Come on man they beat us this year. You can think we're a better team than them but at least give them the respect they earned.

ND plays at Stanford for the last game of the season next year. Could very well have national championship implications.

If Chip Kelly stays at Oregon, Stanford won't even be the #1 team in their division.

Top 3-5. Stanford earned my respect long ago so I don't know what all the fuss is about.

Any preseason poll that doesn't have Florida State number one is a joke. They had a dominating performance against an elite team in a BCS bowl. It's FSU #1 and then everyone else.

You realize that Jimbo Fisher is their head coach, correct?

I posted a way too early top-10 a couple weeks ago, and had Stanford #1. So clearly the answer to your question is yes.

And despite those losses, Alabama should be even better next year.

Defence yes, offence is questionable. Luckily we've had lots of garbage time for this second team O-line to gel a bit. Definitely excited about the D, this is the first year where we have a whole bunch of new faces that will be able to step in. It'll be fun to watch, win or lose.
I like Stanford in the top 5, top team in the PAC. The Oregon game next year should be another big one with title implications for both teams

Our offense won't skip a beat. Might even be better IMO.
