The 2021 college football season is here. WOOOO-HOOOO!!!!!!

I’m going to approach this differently than I did the NFL preview because I will tell y’all one thing, previewing those NFL divisions on a day-to-day basis took a few months off of my life. Maybe if I got paid for it, I could stomach doing the work even more.

Therefore, this is going to be an all-in-one, analysis free preview with my predicted standings from all of the Power 5 conferences along with just the conference winners from the Group of 5.

And I must say this: even though I LOVE college football and been looking forward to this season, we all know who is gonna win the whole thing. But I promise to make things in this rant as entertaining and thought-provoking as possible.

So, without further ado…
