SB Nation’s sites each get a vote in our Fan Pulse poll. And it’s pretty similar to other rankings.
Baylor was not ranked in the poll. While there’s a case to rank Baylor, the Bears went 7-6 and still need to prove they’re ready to make the next step after an impressive six win improvement last season.
The only qualm I have with the poll is that Iowa State is overrated. I’m not buying the Cyclones. But I think Clemson and Alabama are the clear top two teams, and then Georgia’s recruiting probably warrants the No.
