Welcome to the Oak Leaf’s College Football Top-25 Rankings. Check back each week to find which teams rise and fall in the rankings over the course of the college football season.  The rankings are a collaborative article between our staff writer Isaiah Cappelen; our two sports editors Attila LS Gero and Ian MacGregor; and our co-editor-in-chief Matthew Wreden.

Matt: “I want to see the Pac-12 get a few names into the top 10. I hope to see true-freshman, JT Daniels, not only thrive, but lead USC back to the Pac-12 Championship Game.”

Attila: “Teams I’m low on in my top-25 are Notre Dame and Michigan. I expect West Virginia and Florida State to make some noise in their respective divisions.

Ian: “I want to see how Ohio State responds to the questionable decision making and ethics of head coach Urban Meyer.”

Isaiah: “Seeing Oregon get back into the mix this year would be a great sight to see. Hopefully, the College Football Committee will realize after this season, they should re-do the CFP structure, increasing its size to more than four teams.

Attila LS Gero, Staff Writer
Attila was born in Los Angeles Aug. 1997 and moved to Sebastopol in July 2007. He is a second-generation immigrant from Hungary and has an extended family living in Budapest. With a combination of inherited writing skills,obsessive sports fanaticism and constantly seeking approval from his peers, it was a no-brainer for Attila to pursue a career in sports journalism. He is a fan of the Dodgers, Browns and Lakers. Attila is also a fan of: politics; romantic comedies; petting other people’s dogs and renaming them when they leave; driving to nowhere with all his windows down in the summer while listening to music; wearing pink; annoying Brandon and feeding his shoe-shopping addiction; geography; hiding from people he went to high school with when he sees them on campus; and that feeling when you get into bed after a long day and a hot shower and the bed has new clean sheets.
