Every February I put up my projected Preseason AP Top 10 SIX MONTHS in advance of the actual release of the AP Preseason Poll.
Here is a link to that February blog Click Here
Here is what I projected in my blog from February of this year.
My 2024 Projected AP Preseason Top 10.
1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Texas
4. Alabama
5. Oregon
6. Notre Dame
7. Michigan
8. Penn State
9. Ole Miss
10. Missouri
The AP poll is out and this year for the third straight year, I “only” hit 9 of the 10 teams with my #10 team Missouri coming in at #11 and Florida State sneaking into the top 10.
Prior to 2021 my predicted AP Top 10 had been a PERFECT 10 for 10 each of the previous FOUR years! When I predict the AP Top 10 in February (about a HALF YEAR ahead of the actual AP poll), I have now hit on 152 out of 160 over the last 16 years! That means hitting all 10 teams in eight of the fifteen years and missing by just one team in the other eight years. Once again, predicting the top ten teams in the AP poll SIX MONTHS in advance, the record is now 152 out of 160 or 95%!
For the record here is the complete AP Top 25 including the Others receiving votes.

Football season is almost here and remember my digital magazine is updated DAILY all the way thru the start of the season. We circle injured players that are out for the year and update the writeups for each team. As an example for Utah State and Fresno St both have switched head coaches and numerous players are out for the year due to injuries in August.. You can get my digital magazine click Here.
