NCAA Football 2012 Team Rankings Now Released

25. Arizona State

24. NC State

23. Missouri

22. Texas

21. Notre Dame

Comments on above teams: Notre Dame, Texas among the surprises here. The Longhorns had a miserable 2010 season while Notre Dame has some question marks. Texas could be higher, however, as they have the talent to bounce back.

20. Florida

19. Mississippi State

18. Arkansas

17. Virginia Tech

16. Nebraska

Comment: Nebraska enters the Big Ten for the first time; do they have a shot at a league title? Taylor Martinez should be fun to use in 2012.

15. Michigan State

14. TCU

13. South Carolina

12. Auburn

11. Wisconsin

Comment: Russell Wilson gives Wisconsin a top new QB transfer, it will be interesting to see if he's in the game.

10. Florida State

9. Texas A&M

8. Boise State

7. Oklahoma State

6. Ohio State

Comment: Ohio State may look different by the time the final game comes out, but we'll have to wait and see. OSU has some offensive firepower to say it lightly. They'll be fun to use in NCAA Football 2012.

5. Oregon

4. LSU

3. Stanford

2. Alabama

1. Oklahoma

Comment: This is an interesting top five. Stanford will be a team of choice with Andrew Luck likely in the 98 or 99 player range in terms of rankings. Oklahoma has a ton of talent as always but a team like Oregon could be an online player favorite with their offensive style.

This top 25 list of NCAA Football 2012 rankings will be interesting to see in the game as many things have happened over the summer in college football. It will be interesting to see how these teams are used online and how the dynasty mode shakes out in one of the sports genre's best games of all-time.
