My brother and I were talking about this and there are 10 teams in contention...
I'd replace Stanford With UGA in your top 5.

FSU ehhhhh I dunno without Manuel and Werner. UGA is a possibility with Murray coming back; but also keep in mind that they lose Kwame Geathers, John Jenkins, Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree, Sanders Commings, Bacarri Rambo and Shawn Williams on defense. I don't think they can replace all of those players and still be a top 5 team, but that's just my opinion. I think South Carolina is more likely to be a top 5 team than Georgia. Florida will be weaker in 2013 as well with their defensive exodus. 2013 will be the year of the Gamecock in the East, I think.

I'll throw mine out there
1) Alabama
2) Texas A&M
3) Oregon
4) Ohio State
5) South Carolina
IMO Georgia will have the offense but they lose the kitchen sink on D and we all know what a shaky D and a great O can do don't we Vol fans?

The media will probably make sure ND and/or USC are somewhere in the mix......

This list makes me very, very sad. I obviously hate Bama, but the only schools I hate more are Florida and Ohio State. Texas A&M is my only hope. I know they're in the SEC now and will play us, but I've ALWAYS had a soft spot in my heart for the Aggies and their tradition. I have absolutely no problem cheering for A&M unless if it negatively affects Tennessee.
Go Vols, Gig Em' Aggies!

Why do you think UGA in the Top 5 when they are losing most of the D?

Good point however D wins championships and they will struggle on that side of the ball. I don't see them finishing in the top 5.
