Going to put my college football rankings on my blog this season. Kickoff to the new season starts in a couple of days. Games of the week: Thursday Texas A&M at South Carolina. Saturday's match up Clemson at Georgia. LSU and Wisconsin on Saturday. Here is how I have them ranked. Follow all season long to see how they finish.

1) Florida State University Seminoles The defending champions get to hold on to the top spot. They open the season taking on Oklahoma State in Arlington, Texas on Saturday.

2) Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama has been a consistent contender for years. The Tide hope to roll opening up against West Virginia in Atlanta on Saturday.

3) Oregon Ducks The Ducks open against South Dakota on Saturday. The Ducks same to be challengers out west year in and year out.

4) Oklahoma Sooners The Sooners start things off against Louisiana Tech on Saturday. Representing the Big 12.

5) South Carolina Gamecocks The Ole Ball Coach has been fielding solid college teams for year. This year's squad looks to be another good one. Opens the season Thursday hosting Texas A&M.

6) Ohio State Buckeyes I would have ranked Ohio State higher possibly second if their starting quarterback was not injured. Ohio States starts the challenge of their season meeting Navy on Saturday in Baltimore.
