NFP Top 25
With one week of the new college football season in the books, let's take a look at the National Football Post's newest Top 25.
Because the preseason Top 25 was an attempt to show what a prospective end-of-the-year rankings could look like before the postseason slate is unveiled, there wasn't a ton of knee-jerk reaction brought into the mix for this week's Top 25. With no preseason contests in the college game, let's give every team a chance to make adjustments from the opening week and avoid labeling teams over or underrated.
