🏈 Which top 5 team will be the first to fall?

I think it will be Stanford. Oregon will want revenge for last year, and they are chugging along on both offense and defense.

Out of this top 5, Ohio State seems to be the weakest by far. I wonder if they will drop in the polls? The only team I'd be nervous about Bama playing is Oregon, at this point in the season.
 
I'm seriously doubting that Ohio State loses until their bowl games. Michigan is the only ranked opponent left on their schedule, and they're just plain horrible.

I think Oregon will beat Stanford, but before then, I think Florida State will beat Clemson.
 
I don't think Stanford is going to beat Oregon

Both are in the top 5, one of them is dropping is what I was suggesting.

The last 4 years, they've have split the games, 2-2, prior to that, Oregon won 7 in a row.

Here is from Stanford's perspective.

I'm an idiot. I wasn't paying attention
 
I'd love to see Ohio State choke against like, Purdue or something.

Of those types, Indiana presents the biggest challenge to tOSU. They can't defend the pass. Ranked #76 in Passing Yards Allowed giving up 240 YPG. Indiana gets off the bus throwing the ball. Ranked #10 in Passing Offense with 346 YPG.

If they get in a shootout like last year's 52-49 game, Indiana will win this year. Indiana returned 17 starters from that game, so they know they can compete with tOSU.
