Below is my forecast for the Top 25, plus 10 more that are the next best.

Caution! Prepare yourself for a very different year in how college football works. This forecast is for the final AP poll rankings that come out after all the bowls and the championship game of the playoffs. Note that for the playoffs, seeds do not match the rankings (as they do for all other sports in the NCAA playoffs). The top 4 seeds (which get a first round bye) will be the highest rated conference champions, not the top 4 teams in the rankings. My forecast playoff teams are the top 11 teams in this ranking plus the highest ranked G5 team, in this case Memphis.
