The College Football 24/7 preseason Top 25 Power Rankings required an update due to developments in Columbus, Ohio. Braxton Miller's affected the top 25. Miller and the Buckeyes had been No. 6 in , but his injury led to a re-vote, and the Buckeyes now are 12th.FSU won the title last season in the final year with the BCS in place, and as everyone knows, There are seven voters in CFB 24/7 Top 25 Power Rankings, and 17 teams received votes from all of them. Voters include NFL Media analysts Gil Brandt, Bucky Brooks, Charles Davis and Daniel Jeremiah, and CFB 24/7 writers Bryan Fischer, Chase Goodbread and Mike Huguenin.1. Florida StatePoints: 175 (7 first-place votes)The skinny: The defending champs open the season atop our list. QB Jameis Winston headlines what should be a powerful offense, and the defense might be the fastest overall in the nation.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- at Oklahoma State; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Citadel; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- vs. Clemson; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- at North Carolina State; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Wake Forest; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Syracuse; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Notre Dame; Thursday, Oct. 30 -- at Louisville; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. Virginia; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Miami (Fla.); Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Boston College; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. FloridaRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 3 (Clemson, Notre Dame, Florida)2. OregonPoints: 161The skinny: It's all about QB Marcus Mariota. He will make the offense go. But will the Ducks be able to 'bow up defensively when that invariably is needed?Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. South Dakota; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Michigan State; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Wyoming; Saturday, Sept, 20 -- at Washington State; Thursday, Oct. 2 -- vs. Arizona; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at UCLA; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Washington; Friday, Oct. 24 -- at California; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Stanford; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Utah; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Colorado; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- at Oregon StateRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 4 (Michigan State, UCLA, Washington, Stanford)3. AlabamaPoints: 160The skinny: Nick Saban's "proce s" generates positive results. But there are questions at quarterback, and can the Tide win the SEC West, much le s a national title, with merely adequate quarterback play?Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. West Virginia; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Florida Atlantic; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Southern Mi s; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- vs. Florida; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Ole Mi s; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Arkansas; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Texas A&M Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at Tenne see; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at LSU; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- vs. Mi si sippi State; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Western Carolina; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. AuburnRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 4 (Florida, Ole Mi s, LSU, Auburn)4. OklahomaPoints: 154The skinny: There is a lot
Brandon Wimbush Jersey of off-field turmoil surrounding the program. But once this team gets on the field, it could run the table. The Sooners are the most talented team in the Big 12, which doesn't appear all that strong.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Louisiana Tech; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- at Tulsa; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Tenne see; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- at West Virginia; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at TCU; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- vs. Texas; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Kansas State; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Iowa State; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. Baylor; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Texas Tech; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Kansas; Saturday, Dec. 6 -- vs. Oklahoma StateRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 3 (Texas, Kansas State, Baylor)5. AuburnPoints: 141The skinny: Even the most ardent Tigers fan has to admit the Tigers got lucky at opportune times last season. Still, the offense is going to be potent again with QB Nick Marshall, and the defense should be tougher than it was in '13.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Arkansas; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. San Jose State; Thursday, Sept. 18 -- at Kansas State; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Louisiana Tech; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. LSU; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Mi si sippi State; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. South Carolina; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Ole Mi s; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. Texas A&M Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Georgia; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Samford; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- at AlabamaRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 6 (Kansas State, LSU, South Carolina, Ole Mi s, Georgia, Alabama)6. UCLAPoints: 138The skinny: The Bruins have a tough schedule, but QB Brett Hundley and a young and talented defense headed by LB Myles Jack lend hope. Finding a legit feature back to take some pre sure off Hundley is vital. Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- at Virginia; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Memphis; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- at Texas; Thursday, Sept. 25 -- at Arizona State; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Utah; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- vs. Oregon; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at California; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at Colorado; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Arizona; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Washington; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. USC; Friday, Nov. 28 -- vs. StanfordRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 6 (Texas, Arizona State, Oregon, Washington, USC, Stanford)7. Michigan StatePoints: 131The skinny: Spartans coach Mark Dantonio is a throwback of sorts -- he wants to win with a power rushing attack and a physical defense. Those components are in place. A Sept. 6 visit to Oregon will set the tone for the season for both teams.Remaining schedule: Friday, Aug. 29 -- vs. Jacksonville State; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- at Oregon; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- vs. Eastern Michigan; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Wyoming; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Nebraska; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Purdue; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Indiana; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. Michigan; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. Ohio State; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Maryland; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Rutgers; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- at Penn StateRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 3 (Oregon, Nebraska, Ohio State)8. BaylorPoints: 128The skinny: The will have one of the nation's most potent offenses, thanks to QB Bryce Petty, and the schedule isn't that tough. But the defense doesn't appear to be title-worthy.Remaining schedule: Sunday, Aug. 31 -- vs. SMU; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Northwestern State; Friday, Sept. 12 -- at Buffalo; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- at Iowa State; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Texas; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- vs. TCU; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at West Virginia; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Kansas; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Oklahoma; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Oklahoma State; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. Texas Tech; Saturday, Dec. 6 -- vs. Kansas StateRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 3 (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas State)9. South CarolinaPoints: 120The skinny: Depth appears to be as good as it has been during Steve Spurrier's tenure in Columbia, and in , he has a true feature back he can lean on. But the wide receivers and defensive line are questions.Remaining schedule: Thursday, Aug. 28 -- vs. Texas A&M Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. East Carolina; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Georgia; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- at Vanderbilt; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Mi souri; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Kentucky; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Furman; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at Auburn; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Tenne see; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Florida; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. South Alabama; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- at ClemsonRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 4 (Georgia, Auburn, Florida, Clemson)10. StanfordPoints: 109The skinny: For a group of smart guys, Stanford's game plan is simple: We will line up and
Grant Fogerty Jersey simply bludgeon you for 60 minutes. The schedule, though, is a monster, and basically every tough game is on the road.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. UC Davis; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. USC; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Army; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- at Washington; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Notre Dame; Friday, Oct. 10 -- vs. Washington State; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Arizona State; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. Oregon State; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Oregon; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- vs. Utah; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- at California; Friday, Nov. 28 -- at UCLARemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 6 (USC, Washington, Notre Dame, Arizona State, Oregon, UCLA)11. GeorgiaPoints: 102The skinny: The coaches were able to count on QB in each of the past four seasons. He's gone now, which makes this RB Todd Gurley's team. The defense should benefit from a coordinator change.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Clemson; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- at South Carolina; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- vs. Troy; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Tenne see; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Vanderbilt; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Mi souri; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Arkansas; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Florida; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Kentucky; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- vs. Auburn; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Charleston Southern; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. Georgia TechRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 4 (Clemson, South Carolina, Florida, Auburn)12. Ohio StatePoints: 101The skinny: No Miller seemingly -- or even a division title. With Miller, the Buckeyes' i sues along the line, and at tailback and receiver, seemed solvable. Without him, the i sues become exacerbated.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- at Navy; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Virginia Tech; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Kent State; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Cincinnati; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Maryland; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Rutgers; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at Penn State; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Illinois; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Michigan State; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Minnesota; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Indiana; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. MichiganRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 1 (Michigan State)13. LSUPoints: 84The skinny: The Tigers lost a ton of undercla s talent, including both starting wide receivers and both starting defensive tackles. Les Miles has stockpiled talent, to be sure, but a lot of unproven guys need to come through this season.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Wisconsin; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Sam Houston State; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Louisiana-Monroe; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- vs. Mi si sippi State; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. New Mexico State; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Auburn; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Florida; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Kentucky; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. Ole Mi s; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. Alabama; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Arkansas; Thursday, Nov. 27 -- at Texas A&MRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 5 (Wisconsin, Auburn, Florida, Ole Mi s, Alabama)14. USCPoints: 79The skinny: The starting 22 is a good one, but depth is a concern. If the Trojans can stay injury-free, they will be in good shape. But staying healthy against a tough schedule could be difficult.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Fresno State; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- at Stanford; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- at Boston College; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Oregon State; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Arizona State; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Arizona; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Colorado; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at Utah; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Washington State; Thursday, Nov. 13 -- vs. California; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- at UCLA; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. Notre DameRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 4 (Stanford, Arizona State, UCLA, Notre Dame)15. WisconsinPoints: 78The skinny: Like their Big Ten brethren Michigan State, the Badgers want to cram the ball down your throat with the run, then stifle you with their defense. The first part, with RB Melvin Gordon, is a given this season; the second, not so much.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- at LSU; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Western Illinois; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- vs. Bowling Green; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. South Florida; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Northwestern; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- vs. Illinois; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. Maryland; Saturday, Nov. 1
Austin Allen Jersey -- at Rutgers; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Purdue; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- vs. Nebraska; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- at Iowa; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. MinnesotaRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 3 (LSU, Nebraska, Iowa)16. ClemsonPoints: 57The skinny: No . No . But there is pa s-rush stud Vic Beasley and a stout defense. It's up to senior QB Cole Stoudt to produce.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- at Georgia; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. South Carolina State; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- at Florida State; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. North Carolina; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. North Carolina State; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- vs. Louisville; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Boston College; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. Syracuse; Thursday, Nov. 6 -- at Wake Forest; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Georgia Tech; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Georgia State; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. South CarolinaRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 4 (Georgia, Florida State, North Carolina, South Carolina)17. Ole Mi sPoints: 48The skinny: These are heady times for the Rebels, as there is talk about a SEC West title. That seems a bit fanciful, but if QB Bo Wallace cuts down on his mistakes and a legit feature back emerges, the Rebels will do some damage.Remaining schedule: Thursday, Aug. 28 -- vs. Boise State; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- at Vanderbilt; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Louisiana-Lafayette; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Memphis; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Alabama; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Texas A&M Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Tenne see; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at LSU; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Auburn; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. Presbyterian; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- at Arkansas; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. Mi si sippi StateRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 3 (Alabama, LSU, Auburn)18. Notre DamePoints: 44The skinny: The Irish played for it all in 2012, then tumbled a bit last season. Everyone a sociated with the program is hoping that QB Everett Golson, who was suspended last season, can provide the needed offensive spark. The schedule is tough.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Rice; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Michigan; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Purdue; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- at Syracuse; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Stanford; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- vs. North Carolina; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Florida State; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Navy; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Arizona State; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- vs. Northwestern; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Louisville; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- at USCRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 5 (Stanford, North Carolina, Florida State, Arizona State, USC)19. Arizona StatePoints: 40The skinny: QB Taylor Kelly puts up big numbers but continues to fly below the radar. No matter: He and the offense again will be productive. The defense is the i sue.Remaining schedule: Thursday, Aug. 28 -- vs. Weber State; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- at New Mexico; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- at Colorado; Thur., Sept. 25 -- vs. UCLA; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at USC; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Stanford; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at Washington; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Utah; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. Notre Dame; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Oregon State; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Washington State; Friday, Nov. 28 -- at ArizonaRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 5 (UCLA, USC, Stanford, Washington, Notre Dame)20. WashingtonPoints: 39The skinny: Chris Petersen should provide an upgrade over Steve Sarkisian at coach -- and that's not a shot at Sarkisian. Sarkisian did leave a lot of talent behind, and sophomore QB Cyler Miles is the key player this fall.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- at Hawaii; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Eastern Washington; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Illinois; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- vs. Georgia State; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Stanford; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at California; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Oregon; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. Arizona State; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Colorado; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. UCLA; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Arizona; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Oregon State; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- at Washington StateRemaining CFB 24
Juwan Durham Jersey /7 top 25 opponents: 4 (Stanford, Oregon, Arizona State, UCLA)21. Kansas StatePoints: 35The skinny: Bill Snyder's teams don't do anything to wow you -- except make you say, "Wow. How did that team win nine games again?" K-State plays a physical brand of football and that bothers a lot of Big 12 opponents.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Stephen F. Austin; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- at Iowa State; Thursday, Sept. 18 -- vs. Auburn; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. UTEP; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Texas Tech; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Oklahoma; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. Texas; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Oklahoma State; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at TCU; Thursday, Nov. 20 -- at West Virginia; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. Kansas; Saturday, Dec. 6 -- at BaylorRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 4 (Auburn, Oklahoma, Texas, Baylor)22. TexasPoints: 26The skinny: Charlie Strong was brought in to remake the Longhorns' image -- to make
Howard Porter Jersey the "T" in Texas stand for "toughne s," if you will. If QB David Ash remains healthy, this team could be a big surprise. But using "Ash" and "healthy" in the same sentence is tempting fate.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. North Texas; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. BYU; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. UCLA; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- at Kansas; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Baylor; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Oklahoma; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Iowa State; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at Kansas State; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Texas Tech; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- vs. West Virginia; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Oklahoma State; Thur., Nov. 27 -- vs. TCURemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 4 (UCLA, Baylor, Oklahoma, Kansas State)23. NebraskaPoints: 20The skinny: Ameer Abdullah might be the most underrated running back in the nation, and he will be the bellcow of this offense. But he needs QB Tommy Armstrong to become a more proficient pa ser. DE Randy Gregory is a big-timer off the edge.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Florida Atlantic; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. McNeese State; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- at Fresno State; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- vs. Miami (Fla.); Saturday, Sept. 27 -- vs. Illinois; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Michigan State; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Northwestern; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- vs. Rutgers; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Purdue; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Wisconsin; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Minnesota; Friday, Nov. 28 -- at IowaRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 3 (Michigan State, Wisconsin, Iowa)24. North CarolinaPoints: 16The skinny: The ACC Coastal Division is wide open, and the Tar Heels appear as likely as anybody to take the title. The offense will be productive, thanks to a nice group of skill-position players, but the defense -- again -- is questionable.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Liberty; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. San Diego State; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- at East Carolina; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- at Clemson; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- vs. Virginia Tech; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- at Notre Dame; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Georgia Tech; Saturday, Oct. 25 -- at Virginia; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Miami (Fla.); Saturday, Nov. 15 -- vs. Pittsburgh; Thursday, Nov. 20 -- at Duke; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- vs. North Carolina StateRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 2 (Clemson, Notre Dame)25 (tie). FloridaPoints: 13The skinny: Will Muschamp is on the hottest seat in the nation, and he hopes new offensive coordinator Kurt Roper's installation of a spread attack can resuscitate an offense that has been DOA for the past four seasons. The defense, headed by DE Dante Fowler Jr. and CB Vernon Hargeaves III, should be just fine.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Idaho; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Eastern Michigan; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Kentucky; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- at Alabama; Saturday, Oct. 4 -- at Tenne see; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- vs. LSU; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- vs. Mi souri; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- at Georgia; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Vanderbilt; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- vs. South Carolina; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Eastern Kentucky; Saturday, Nov. 29 -- at Florida StateRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 5 (Alabama, LSU, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida State)25 (tie). IowaPoints: 13The skinny: The Hawkeyes have star OT Brandon Scherff, a deep group of running backs and defensive standouts such as DT Carl Davis and CB Desmond King. But the biggest positive surrounding the Hawkeyes this season is a ti sue-soft schedule.Remaining schedule: Saturday, Aug. 30 -- vs. Northern Iowa; Saturday, Sept. 6 -- vs. Ball State; Saturday, Sept. 13 -- vs. Iowa State; Saturday, Sept. 20 -- at Pittsburgh; Saturday, Sept. 27 -- at Purdue; Saturday, Oct. 11 -- vs. Indiana; Saturday, Oct. 18 -- at Maryland; Saturday, Nov. 1 -- vs. Northwestern; Saturday, Nov. 8 -- at Minnesota; Saturday, Nov. 15 -- at Illinois; Saturday, Nov. 22 -- vs. Wisconsin; Friday, Nov. 28 -- vs. NebraskaRemaining CFB 24/7 top 25 opponents: 2 (Wisconsin, Nebraska)Others receiving votes:Michigan 10, Texas A&M 10, Mi si sippi State 8, Duke 6, Louisville 6, Mi souri 5, BYU 2, Miami (Fla.) 1, Oregon State 1Follow College Football 24/7 on Twitter __.
