SI.com projected next year's top 25 in college football:

1. Alabama
2. Boise State

3. Ohio State
Now that the Buckeyes have cast the BCS bowl gorilla from their backs, it's time to work on Ohio State's personal King Kong -- the BCS title game. The Buckeyes have the talent. They have experience at key positions. Their only problem? The 2010 Big Ten will be deeper than it's been in years.

4. Texas
5. Iowa
6. Oregon
7. TCU
8. Georgia Tech
9. Virginia Tech
10. Wisconsin

19. Cincinnati
Losing coach Brian Kelly, quarterback Tony Pike and receiver Mardy Gilyard certainly hurts the Bearcats, but don't expect them to fall off the face of the earth. We already know quarterback Zach Collaros can play, and we already know coach Butch Jones can follow Kelly successfully. Cincy should still compete for the Big East title.
