Colin Cowherd, a popular analyst with FOX Sports, joined the group of college football and sports analysts releasing preseason top 25 rankings. To say this top 25 ranking is wild is an understatement.

Cowherd had four B1G schools in his top 25 with Ohio State at No. 1, Nebraska at No. 8, Penn State at No. 16, and Minnesota at No. 19. He does not have Michigan, Michigan State, or Wisconsin in his top 25 despite those teams being ranked No. 8, No. 15, and No 18, respectively.

Having Ohio State No. 1 is a bold statement, but that’s not the boldest in his top 25. Nebraska finished with an overall record of 3-9 last season and is projected to have a better season, but starting at No. 8 is a big jump.

Another puzzling decision is putting Texas at No. 4 and Georgia, the defending National Champions, at No. 14. Texas and Nebraska are a part of six teams in Cowherd’s top 25 who finished with a .500 record overall last season.
