I know a lot can happen from now to December, but if I had to put money on it this is how my top 25 will look going into conference championships and bowl games. College football betting is my second job (might bet NFL, NBA, NCCAB once in awhile). No college playoffs (ridiculous) make every game important and easier to cap. Making this list helps me prepare for the upcoming season.
