Big Ten Dominates Preseason Rankings | Hattiesburg News

College football’s preseason rankings are electric as Ohio State and Oregon top the AP list, marking the Big Ten’s first dual No. 1s since 1961—while Indiana, last year’s perfect champs, drops to sixth. The SEC still dominates with nine teams in the Top 25, but the Big Ten’s eight is no slouch either. With Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Texas all vying for championship glory—and voters now factoring head-to-head matchups over reputation—the season promises chaos. Missouri’s brutal final seven games? Five against Top 10 foes. Clemson shocks everyone by missing the Top 25 for the first time in a decade, while Texas, last year’s No. 1, slides to fifth and opens with a showdown against Ohio State. The ACC sees Miami lead at No. 7, with SMU and Louisville also ranked. New coaches, new expectations, and a wild slate of early marquee games mean this season’s got everything.
