Well, it's about that time where we are going to see stuff posted for the upcoming season that isn't recruiting based. So the 2015 football thread may have ran it's course. This thread can be used for the rest of the offseason & upcoming season. To start it off:
Alabama tops Way-Too-Early Top 25 in update after signing day
1. Bama
2. FSU
3. Michigan Wolverines
2015 record: 10-3, 6-2 Big Ten
Returning starters: 8 offense, 6 defense, 1 special teams
Key losses: C Graham Glasgow, QB Jake Rudock, LB Desmond Morgan, LBJoe Bolden, LB James Ross, FS Jarrod Wilson, DE Willie Henry
Outlook: Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh made a big splash with his first full recruiting cycle, signing a top-10 class. The crop includes No. 1 prospect Rashan Gary, who might be able to help on the defensive line right away. The Wolverines have to replace only three starters on offense, and Houston transferJohn O'Korn is the early favorite to replace departed quarterback Jake Rudock. New defensive coordinator Don Brown will have to replace the team's entire starting linebacker corps, but incoming freshman Devin Bush Jr. might be able to help.
4. Baylor
5. Clemson
6. LSU
7. Oklahoma
8. Standford
9. ND
10. Ohio State Buckeyes
2015 record: 12-1, 7-1 Big Ten
Returning starters: 3 offense, 3 defense, 2 special teams
Key losses: RB Ezekiel Elliott, OT Taylor Decker, C Jacoby Boren, WRBraxton Miller, DE Joey Bosa, LB Darron Lee, LB Joshua Perry, S Tyvis Powell, WR Michael Thomas, S Vonn Bell
Outlook: The Buckeyes signed the country's No. 5 recruiting class, and it's a good thing, because coach Urban Meyer said he wants 18 of his 25 signees to play this coming season. Ohio State certainly has plenty of holes to fill after nine underclassmen left early for the NFL draft. Five-star defensive end Nick Bosa is certainly capable of stepping on the field right away, as well as No. 3 outside linebacker Keandre Jones and No. 2 running back Demario McCall. The good news: Quarterback J.T. Barrett is coming back for his junior season. The bad news: The Buckeyes play road games at Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan State.
11. Houston (Damn! Go Herman)
