## Resource

College Football's fastest-rising analyst William Patteson ranks his Top 25 teams in College Football following the end of Spring Practice. He reveals which team he has at #1 heading into next season while debating how to stack the "elite" and "fringe elite" teams like Ohio State, Oregon, Notre Dame, Miami, and Georgia. He breaks down his decision to place Curt Cignetti and Indiana inside the top six a year after shocking the country by winning the National Championship. Patteson reveals Arch Manning and Texas’ place inside his rankings and whether Oklahoma joins them inside his Top 10. Michigan is entering a new era with Kyle Whittingham in charge of the Bryce Underwood-led Wolverines but what questions does Patteson have for them and others? Patteson also lists the teams "on the cut" of the Top 25.
