ESPN releases its way too early rankings for 2016

The 2015 season is officially over after Alabama won the national title last night over Clemson, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start predicting the 2016 season! Ok, maybe it does. But ESPN's Mark Schlabach went for it anyway with his own top 25 for 2016.

He's got the national runner-up Tigers atop the list even though Alabama just won the title and that's because the Crimson Tide will have questions to answer at quarterback and possibly at running back. Baylor will be back and better than ever when Seth Russell comes back from his injury and Michigan doubled its win total this season from last year's so the Wolverines are definitely a team to watch. With Baker Mayfield at QB, the Sooners should also be a serious contender as they were able to get to the semifinals this year.

Here's Schlabach's complete list.
