Tim Brando is a college football expert and has been a part of hundreds of game telecasts so he knows a thing or two about which teams are the best. However, his prediction for who will finish on top this season is definitely something else. He unleashed a series of tweets about it and here they are in all their glory:

Here's the list in order:
- USC
- Ohio State
- Alabama
- Oklahoma State
- Penn State
- Washington
- Florida State
- Oklahoma
- Clemson
- Miami
So he believes that USC will run through the Pac 12 and get to the College Football Playoff while Alabama will somehow only finish third, which is unlikely if they win the SEC like they are supposed to. Even with a loss to Florida State or some other team throughout the season, they should be a top-2 team.
Ohio State should run through the Big Ten as well, but they always seem to suffer an inexplicable loss when they shouldn't. They've also got an improved Michigan squad to deal with this year that could finally get its first win over the Buckeyes since 2011.
