As the stock market crashes and 401Ks across the board temporarily plummet, let's invest in the 2020 college football season for a moment, shall we? I've partnered up with 247Sports national analyst Bud Elliott for this exercise, a 10-team look at teams we're buying or selling this fall, early predictions within the Power 5 ranks.

We've factored three elements into every team's hypothetical stock price — 2019's regular season record, SP+ ratings, and conference finish. Last month, we rolled out our pre-spring practice bowl projections with no knowledge of what was to come — spring practice at most schools being wiped away entirely, an unfortunate result of the growing coronavirus epidemic.

With the expectation college football will resume as scheduled this season, who are your early picks to surprise or disappoint?

It's the offseason and we want football to return as much as you do during this challenging time. Here's a look at 10 teams we expect to be ranked in the preseason Top 25 and how you evaluate each within your portfolio (for entertainment purposes only):
