Only if you fundamentally don't understand how the game works. In real life, the toughest places to play have the toughest teams to beat, yes. But in the game, those rosters will vary, season to season. So accounting for how much impact ONLY the fans make, is the logical way to code the game. But then along come college football fans, who insist the toughest place to play is in Tuscaloosa, because Bama is a great team. That doesn't make sense for what the game is trying to accomplish.
@Tijuanabill Look at EA's list again and identify what metric they used to determine their ranking. Then try to explain it. You can't without sounding misguided at best, or at worst, willfully ignorant.
@@Tijuanabill all you have to do is look at EA's top 25 offenses and Top 25 defenses to know that when they made the game they definitely didn't do it based off real data and knowledge of the game. Teams like USC should not be a top 25 defense, And a team like Tennessee for example with one of the best offenses in the last two seasons isn't even in the top 25. A team like Kentucky is known for having a top 5 defense in the SEC almost every season isn't on the top 25 defense in the game. There are numerous other examples I could name, so I wouldn't put much weight into the games "toughest places to play" rankings either. It's a video game that is trying to appease every fan base and marketing. Which sucks IMO because I'd really like it alot more if the game actually is accurate with the rankings.

Even if they have the teams set the way the media thinks they should be set, they still need to be updated as the season goes, as we find out who is REALLY good and who isn't.

The trip to Norman Oklahoma was the best thing to happen to Mike. He finally understands now about how Texans has always been overrated and blown completely out of proportion. I cringe every time I hear anyone say that Oklahoma was following their big brother Texas into the South East Conference because it shows they know and understand nothing about the programs in modern history.
I have never heard anyone refer to OU as TX's "little bro". I think you or someone else was confused. TX only has one little bro and that's TAMU. TX isn't "always overrated" unless your history begins in 2010 when TX began it's worst stretch in school history thanks to poor coaching/AD. Speaking of overrated...OU has been so dominate for 20 years over TX and won all these Big 12 titles while TX was at it's worst and yet promptly loses once it goes outside the Big 12. However, in that same 20 year stretch TX has 2 natty appearances including a natty, CFP appearance and a Sugar Bowl win despite all that. Whenever your mind starts to fantasize about how overrated TX is just remember TX still leads OU in all-time record despite OU winning so much in the last 10 years.

We will see. I actually think Kentucky is being slept on big time. They have who many consider was the best linebacker in the SEC and an all American in Jamon Dumas-johnson they brought in from Georgia and pairing him with who I think is one of the most slept on linebackers in the SEC in D'eryk Jackson. Plus I was high on Brock vandergriff when he was at Georgia, my best friend is a GA fan and he has always been a huge Brock vandergriff fan, I think he is gonna show out at UK this year. I think that the SEC is about as wide open as it's been without Saban now, and Although Kirby still is the top dog, this league is a gauntlet. I think some things will happen this year that alot of people might not see coming.
At this point from all the comments I have seen from the Texas fans I am looking forward to the upcoming football season. SEC football is much different than Big 12. The SEC grind is a different animal than what they are used to. Looking forward to the end of the season to see where they stand.
i am really waiting to see how well Texas and Oklahoma do when they have to play high level every week in the SEC. Most of us have seen the spoiler games that no one predicted.
Your wrong Mike, you cant say it was a down year for the sec when missouri won it 2 years in a roll and that first year we had a lot of injuries, and we went down hill because we lost our head coach due to illness. All it takes is one wrong coach hire and it can set you back for years. This is what I meant when I was saying to the Tx and OU fans, the sec is not giving you anything you got to earn it and even then they don't want to lol... Miz.
Oklahoma’s o-line will have the most starts combined in the whole country. They have 4 running backs that are studs. The receivers are one of the best groups in the country. The whole defense on every level have studs and are very deep for rotation. I’m not mad at the power rankings, just don’t be shocked if Oklahoma shocks everyone and wins a lot more this year than the predictions. OU is ready for the grind in the SEC.

I'm not sure where OU fans are getting that info on the O-Line starts. I know there was an OU podcast that said it, but that is not accurate. Texas' 5 starters have more starts than OU's entire OL room. A few others in the SEC have more than OU's.

@@Weldingman07 What are we missing then? Everyone saw OU struggle with teams they should beat last season. Teams far less talented than the SEC teams OU is going to play this season.
I guarantee you that other than Georgia and Vandy this list will not be correct. Way too much parity at the highest level in SEC and every fan base thinks they are going to win 9-10 games. Expectations are completely unrealistic
The Rebels won eleven games last year without the Defensive Line it has now (rush specialists) top linebacker from Arkansas, and secondary with a long and tall, and experience from Alabama, etc. !
For now I can see Florida at 10th . I think. They may be better than a couple programs in front of them on this list but that remains to be seen until the games are played . Jury still out on Florida’s defense , that offense will be legit this season though
I agree with Mizzou too low. They will be better than Ole Miss. Sorry Miss fans, but Eli recruits through need, especially from the portal, not to build an entire roster.
@@tannerjones6564 top 50.😂 They were 9-3 last year with the Heisman winner at QB, you think they will be better this year? I would say 7th or 8th tops. What spot do you think?
East Saint Louis Flyers is a High School in Illinois, with direct connections to Columbia Missouri. Every year MIZZOU gets a man, from ESt and he plays.
Sooner fan here. Love the SEC and will always be complementary towards them. But as for Texas and Texas fan you can expect some smack talkin beat downs. Stay tuned!
You ask if there are any lessons you can teach Texas and Oklahoma people. I appreciate your lessons; now please allow me to share some with you because you clearly know very little about the history of Texas and Oklahoma. I get it, all you watch is the SEC. The good news is that there are now two more teams with a rich history that you can be exposed to. First, there are absolutely a handful of Texas fans who puff their chests and claim there’s no stopping the Longhorns, but you can find those people in every fan base. Most Texas fans are cautious about the move to the SEC. I think we feel as though we can compete, but nobody is realistically saying we’re going to be the next Alabama. You say that LSU has won more championships than Texas has won in its history. Untrue, in the past 12 years, LSU won a single national championship (2019). Texas has won four in its history. Further, if Texas were to claim every national title they could (like Alabama does), then Texas would have 9. Also, the separation between the Big 12 and the SEC isn’t as large as you would like to think. In the 27 years the Big 12 has existed, it had as many (or more) Top 10 Final AP teams as the SEC 17 times, and was actually the better conference in the 2000s. The SEC has only pulled ahead relatively recently, which corresponds to the Alabama dynasty and the poor performance by Texas in the early and mid 2010s. You accuse Texas of not being able to dominate the Big 12, but what constitutes “dominating?” It is true that Oklahoma has more conference championships than anyone else by a considerable margin, but Texas has the second most with 4. Also, since the beginning of the Big 12, Texas has finished in the top 3 of the conference 17 times. That’s better than nearly every SEC team not named Alabama. By comparison, only LSU has won more conference championships in that timeframe and they only have 5. Florida and Georgia both have 4 pulling them even with Texas. In fact, those are pretty much the only teams to ever be in contention for the conference championship. Auburn shows up now and again with a team they bought and win, only to be put on probation and suck again for 4 or 5 years. The Big 12 was run by Oklahoma and Texas, with those two teams finishing in the top 3 virtually every year, but Oklahoma winning the majority of the conference titles. The SEC was run by Alabama with a rotating cast of LSU, Georgia, and Florida winning a title here and there. That’s not that different. You say that Texas was only able to win one conference championship in 12 years. You know who else that applies to? Auburn (2013), LSU (2019), and almost Georgia (2017 and 2022). Alabama won the rest of them. As a thought experiment, let’s consider the following, what if Alabama were in the Big 12? The Big 12 would then be the most dominant conference over the past 15 years. What that really means is that Alabama has been good. Texas is not going to come in and dominate the SEC (probably), but they aren’t going to be bottom dwellers either (probably). That said, your Texas takes are fallacious and lazy and based on assumptions that you can’t defend. Your criticisms are rooted in the worst stretch in Texas football history and your claims of SEC superiority are founded on Alabama superiority.
Let’s dissect this-Texas claims 4 national championships-one of those(1970), they literally lost their bowl game. Nebraska owns that national championship in 1970. So Texas has 3-that’s it! Two in the 1960s and one in 2005. You go to great lengths to make Texas sound successful but the reality is they have had a total of 8 good seasons out of the last 50! If you don’t believe me, then name which coach generated dominant seasons other than Mack Brown or Darrell Royal-Akers, McWilliams, Mackovick, Strong, Herman, and so far Sarkisian?All have all sucked. Brown had 7 good seasons(2002-2009) and Sark so far had one good season and 2 pitiful ones..that’s it..there’s the history of the longhorns for 50 years-not impressive at all
@@jeffbradley883 You say that Texas doesn't deserve the 1970 title because they lost their bowl game. I'll pour a little SEC magic dust on this and say "they didn't want to be there." National champions were crowned before bowl games back then so it was an exhibition game to show off the beauty of the wishbone. You then say that Texas has had 8 good seasons in the past 50 years, but I have no idea how you're getting that. You never establish a criteria for what "good" is and I don't see what it might be. Texas finished in the top 5 more than 8 times. I'll establish a criteria that I think is fair - there are 134 FBS teams, so the top 10% is top 14 (rounded up because I'm feeling generous). Texas finished in the AP top 14 24 times in the past 50 years. That means that Texas finished the season in the top 10% of teams nearly half the time. There are only a handful of teams that can make that claim.
I would move LSU to 7 and as a Mizzou fan while I appreciate the spotlight, the offense was only good last year not elite. They got stagnant at times and far too often failed to convert in the red zone. I just don't see them getting much better with the limits Cook presents as a starter. Historically QBs don't really make much of a jump by year 3 starting. Throw in the questions on d and I think 5 is more appropriate. Everything else looks fair.
Last time LSU lost a 1st round QB and 2 more at WR in same draft. First time in college football history that happened. Well tigers went on to win the national title the very NEXT year. Led by an offense that increased in PPG avg. Nuss will contend for post season honors at QB. As for the new WRs. Been a minute tigers were hurting in that department. Almost forgot BEST OLine in college ball. Best set of starting bookends.
lol ya bro go put your mortgage on lsu to win it all next year 😂😂 nobody knows who your qb is and your defense hasn’t been good since 2019 , holy shit stay off crack dude
@@tannerjones6564 Sure hope so. Don't care for the high school he went to but, he's from my bayou. Good friend of mine played high school ball with his dad. They won a state title together.
@@zacharyrogers1071 I don’t underestimate the greatness of Saban. He’s who I would have sent my kid to play for..just saying Kalen smoked Texas in ‘22 and had a heck of a team at UW. Inherited a top 3 roster. That’s all
@@theNfl_Esq to say there will be hardly any drop off when you're losing the Greatest of all time is a irresponsibly lazy take imo. Should we expect Washington to be back in the playoffs this season? Look at Mississippi State. How many players do you expect to hit the portal if things get rocky early. There's a lot of factors
Missouri is overrated, LSU underrated, Ole miss overrated. South Carolina is better than ar-kansas. I think mid season Alabama should scare a lot of people, either milroe keeps his job and progressed or deboer has swapped to a guy who can actually run his offense.
@@michaelspecks7053 Miami is about to be relegated to the Big 12 or worse when the ACC implodes, and it is a small private school without the necessary fanbase and booster support to thrive in an NIL and pay-for-play college football world. No way this happens.
Texas destroyed the SW conference. They destroyed the Big 12, which, back in the late 90's and early 2000's was the strongest conference in the country. Texas is a true blue blood but they act like they are Alabama, Oklahoma and Noter Dame all put together.
Another half dozen freshmen and transfers, blue chips and Power quality starters behind them in the rotation/ depth chart. Only position without 3 or more guys proven Power Starters is @ QB. Got 2 of them, + a top-5 QB freshman coming in, 2 more 3-4 star kids behind him. You could flip 2-5 ion this list in no particular order. Even as a Missouri fan I'd put Bama over us or Ole Miss until proven otherwise. At least one of these five teams will regress and at least one of the 6-9 here will likely rise through the Season and be right in the mix for Atlanta and/or CFP. I suspect Florida will improve and upset some folks, maybe TAMU as well. Barn being better than advertised isn't beyond realm of possibility Every team has questions going in, anyone in top half of Conference is a legit CFP threat. Offense @ Miz is stacked. If Cook goes down Game 1 they can line up and run over most teams on this schedule without ever throwing the ball. Missouri's gonna be alright
Kiss&Tell you guys have the Tigers at 9? You must be drinking something stronger than water! Texas A&M Oklahoma Tennessee is higher Then Louisiana State? Wow Give me some of that shit you guy's are sipping on. We're see soon.
Did you actually watch either team last season against comparable, quality opponents? I'm thinking not. All good though. If your Horns are all that we'll see who claps who come December. Welcome to the League, pal.
You have Texas way too high. A&M will field a better defense than Texas. By the time they meet, A&M will have a better offense too. However, I agree with A&Ms ranking due to the circumstances.
@@cameronmiller7980 Texas should be moved to #7 and the rest just bumped up. They are overrated my man. They will have a 8-4/9-3 kinda season. Losses will come from Michigan, Georgia, A&M and possibly Oklahoma. Still a strong first outing in the SEC!

I think your top 6 you can flip it around anyway and keep dogs at 1. You cant say dogs are not 1. Now the other 5 can flip any spot.
I guarantee you that other than Georgia and Vandy this list will not be correct. Way too much parity at the highest level in SEC and every fan base thinks they are going to win 9-10 games. Expectations are completely unrealistic
SEC is tough but top to bottom Bog 12 was more evenly matched. Come on, Bama & Georgia then the rest of SEC for the last 5 years.
The Rebels won eleven games last year without the Defensive Line it has now (rush specialists) top linebacker from Arkansas, and secondary with a long and tall, and experience from Alabama, etc. !
Princely is good, other than that it's mediocre. Nolan has been somewhat of a bust
For now I can see Florida at 10th . I think. They may be better than a couple programs in front of them on this list but that remains to be seen until the games are played . Jury still out on Florida’s defense , that offense will be legit this season though
21:55 .... It's like saying ATM machine. Its not an Automatic Teller Machine Machine. 😂😂
Mizzou Mike is my hero!
Like your picks. Great list😁
yeah im not understanding how Mizz #3
I agree with Mizzou too low. They will be better than Ole Miss. Sorry Miss fans, but Eli recruits through need, especially from the portal, not to build an entire roster.
LSU is #9? I don’t even know who you are anymore Cousin Mike
They lost most of the offense and defense isn’t great. It’s been a long time since 2019. What are you LSU fans on?
@@Silverfox1982 the defense will be in the top 50 this year. Coaching was the problem. Offense will be good and another first round WR
@@tannerjones6564 top 50.😂 They were 9-3 last year with the Heisman winner at QB, you think they will be better this year? I would say 7th or 8th tops. What spot do you think?
Dude offense lost 3players whats nost of offense damn casual
You do know lsu qb better passer than daniels
M I Z MIKE
Boomer Sooner!
🙆🏻♀️🤷♀️
East Saint Louis Flyers is a High School in Illinois, with direct connections to Columbia Missouri.
Every year MIZZOU gets a man, from ESt and he plays.
Anyone notice, now that Texas and OU people are in the comments how hostile it has gotten. Not a coincidence.
Sooner fan here. Love the SEC and will always be complementary towards them. But as for Texas and Texas fan you can expect some smack talkin beat downs. Stay tuned!
You ask if there are any lessons you can teach Texas and Oklahoma people. I appreciate your lessons; now please allow me to share some with you because you clearly know very little about the history of Texas and Oklahoma. I get it, all you watch is the SEC. The good news is that there are now two more teams with a rich history that you can be exposed to.
First, there are absolutely a handful of Texas fans who puff their chests and claim there’s no stopping the Longhorns, but you can find those people in every fan base. Most Texas fans are cautious about the move to the SEC. I think we feel as though we can compete, but nobody is realistically saying we’re going to be the next Alabama.
You say that LSU has won more championships than Texas has won in its history. Untrue, in the past 12 years, LSU won a single national championship (2019). Texas has won four in its history. Further, if Texas were to claim every national title they could (like Alabama does), then Texas would have 9.
Also, the separation between the Big 12 and the SEC isn’t as large as you would like to think. In the 27 years the Big 12 has existed, it had as many (or more) Top 10 Final AP teams as the SEC 17 times, and was actually the better conference in the 2000s. The SEC has only pulled ahead relatively recently, which corresponds to the Alabama dynasty and the poor performance by Texas in the early and mid 2010s.
You accuse Texas of not being able to dominate the Big 12, but what constitutes “dominating?” It is true that Oklahoma has more conference championships than anyone else by a considerable margin, but Texas has the second most with 4. Also, since the beginning of the Big 12, Texas has finished in the top 3 of the conference 17 times. That’s better than nearly every SEC team not named Alabama. By comparison, only LSU has won more conference championships in that timeframe and they only have 5. Florida and Georgia both have 4 pulling them even with Texas. In fact, those are pretty much the only teams to ever be in contention for the conference championship. Auburn shows up now and again with a team they bought and win, only to be put on probation and suck again for 4 or 5 years. The Big 12 was run by Oklahoma and Texas, with those two teams finishing in the top 3 virtually every year, but Oklahoma winning the majority of the conference titles. The SEC was run by Alabama with a rotating cast of LSU, Georgia, and Florida winning a title here and there. That’s not that different.
You say that Texas was only able to win one conference championship in 12 years. You know who else that applies to? Auburn (2013), LSU (2019), and almost Georgia (2017 and 2022). Alabama won the rest of them. As a thought experiment, let’s consider the following, what if Alabama were in the Big 12? The Big 12 would then be the most dominant conference over the past 15 years. What that really means is that Alabama has been good.
Texas is not going to come in and dominate the SEC (probably), but they aren’t going to be bottom dwellers either (probably). That said, your Texas takes are fallacious and lazy and based on assumptions that you can’t defend. Your criticisms are rooted in the worst stretch in Texas football history and your claims of SEC superiority are founded on Alabama superiority.
Nailed it.
Let’s dissect this-Texas claims 4 national championships-one of those(1970), they literally lost their bowl game. Nebraska owns that national championship in 1970. So Texas has 3-that’s it! Two in the 1960s and one in 2005. You go to great lengths to make Texas sound successful but the reality is they have had a total of 8 good seasons out of the last 50! If you don’t believe me, then name which coach generated dominant seasons other than Mack Brown or Darrell Royal-Akers, McWilliams, Mackovick, Strong, Herman, and so far Sarkisian?All have all sucked. Brown had 7 good seasons(2002-2009) and Sark so far had one good season and 2 pitiful ones..that’s it..there’s the history of the longhorns for 50 years-not impressive at all
@@jeffbradley883 You say that Texas doesn't deserve the 1970 title because they lost their bowl game. I'll pour a little SEC magic dust on this and say "they didn't want to be there." National champions were crowned before bowl games back then so it was an exhibition game to show off the beauty of the wishbone. You then say that Texas has had 8 good seasons in the past 50 years, but I have no idea how you're getting that. You never establish a criteria for what "good" is and I don't see what it might be. Texas finished in the top 5 more than 8 times. I'll establish a criteria that I think is fair - there are 134 FBS teams, so the top 10% is top 14 (rounded up because I'm feeling generous). Texas finished in the AP top 14 24 times in the past 50 years. That means that Texas finished the season in the top 10% of teams nearly half the time. There are only a handful of teams that can make that claim.
What you got against Hugh freeze
His morals
I would move LSU to 7 and as a Mizzou fan while I appreciate the spotlight, the offense was only good last year not elite. They got stagnant at times and far too often failed to convert in the red zone. I just don't see them getting much better with the limits Cook presents as a starter. Historically QBs don't really make much of a jump by year 3 starting. Throw in the questions on d and I think 5 is more appropriate. Everything else looks fair.
LSU should be a little higher than that. 2 - 3 spots higher.
At least 3
LSU has 2x as much talent as Mizoo and better coaching
Whose lsu qb again ? Is their defense gonna give up 50 points a game again this season ? I think 9 is generous with those questions
@@adammauer6424 Lots of teams have questions, but he has those teams ranked higher, so what’s your point?
@@jedolivier2688 I’m just saying lsu at 9 seems generous enough to me that’s the top half of the conference
OU has 5 of the top 6 on their schedule! 😂
Last time LSU lost a 1st round QB and 2 more at WR in same draft. First time in college football history that happened. Well tigers went on to win the national title the very NEXT year. Led by an offense that increased in PPG avg.
Nuss will contend for post season honors at QB. As for the new WRs. Been a minute tigers were hurting in that department. Almost forgot BEST OLine in college ball. Best set of starting bookends.
lol ya bro go put your mortgage on lsu to win it all next year 😂😂 nobody knows who your qb is and your defense hasn’t been good since 2019 , holy shit stay off crack dude
Lacey will be a first rounder, he already is on most boards
@@tannerjones6564 Sure hope so. Don't care for the high school he went to but, he's from my bayou. Good friend of mine played high school ball with his dad. They won a state title together.
@@tannerjones6564 oh ya every highly touted player out of hs ever always produces 🤤 new to this aren’t ya
Your list looks about right but I would twitch ATM/LSU.I don't think Them Dangs are locks in the SEC, that conference is too loaded.
Bama will have hardly any drop off under Kalen. They still have ridiculous talent.
😆 😂
@@tompiper1480 why you laughing? He ain’t lying
I think people underestimate how much Saban motivated those men. Ohio State has seen how it is since Urban left
@@zacharyrogers1071 I don’t underestimate the greatness of Saban. He’s who I would have sent my kid to play for..just saying Kalen smoked Texas in ‘22 and had a heck of a team at UW. Inherited a top 3 roster. That’s all
@@theNfl_Esq to say there will be hardly any drop off when you're losing the Greatest of all time is a irresponsibly lazy take imo. Should we expect Washington to be back in the playoffs this season? Look at Mississippi State. How many players do you expect to hit the portal if things get rocky early. There's a lot of factors
Texas is nowhere near a fluke 🤦🏾♂️! Terrible take
Don’t forget Texas went into the SEC champs house last season and made their fans leave the game early. 🐂🤘🏾
Hey mike your sɐxǝ⊥ helmet is upside-down.
Tennessee will beat the Gators
Let's hope, Jesus
Kentucky going too be surprise team
MIZZU is fools gold
How? 😂 😂 😂 On offense theyre loaded. And their schedule probably the easiest in the SEC
Sec mike is da man!!!
Just watch all the SEC people lose their mind when OU beats down Tennessee by 28 points. Yes - I'm that confident.
You must be talking softball
The best o line in SEC is LSU
No it’s not.
Ole Miss Georgia and LSU could all qualify
MissssoooouuuuurrrrrrAa!
Most definitely.
South Side, StL.
Oklahoma
Can't wait for the season to start..to shut up all the Oklahoma haters... 7th is laughable
No that's about right.
Nah whats laughable is OU performance last season against those cupcakes.
🎉go SOONERS
Great show Mike!! GBO!
Missouri is overrated, LSU underrated, Ole miss overrated. South Carolina is better than ar-kansas. I think mid season Alabama should scare a lot of people, either milroe keeps his job and progressed or deboer has swapped to a guy who can actually run his offense.
Who is Taxes? 😳
Don't we all hate Taxes?
Ole Miss goes 11-1 makes the playoff and Kiffin goes to Miami
Haha why would he take a step down?
@@davidpalmer3790 He has a house and a boat in Miami. Cristabol needs to win games
@@michaelspecks7053 Miami is about to be relegated to the Big 12 or worse when the ACC implodes, and it is a small private school without the necessary fanbase and booster support to thrive in an NIL and pay-for-play college football world. No way this happens.
@@brianstacey2679 Check recruiting rankings and salaries.
Kiffin has been going to leave Ole Miss now for 5 years straight…😂
Texas destroyed the SW conference. They destroyed the Big 12, which, back in the late 90's and early 2000's was the strongest conference in the country. Texas is a true blue blood but they act like they are Alabama, Oklahoma and Noter Dame all put together.
War eagle Mike! I hope we prove you wrong...
If I'm down on a team, that's as good of a sign that there is that a great season is coming
Vandi is too high in the rankings. Can’t they just be on another list 😂
They should just stick to spelling contests..
MIZ MIKE
Vandy is goin to be good this season your on drugs
Besides Cook and Burden where’s Mizzou’s offense gonna get production. Missouri #3?? I’m not feeling it.
Best Receiving Group in the country and a great OL.
@@chadstearman Don't know if that mizzou WR corps is best in the country but they way up there.
@@coop6744 Norfleet, Wease, Johnson,Cooper, Noel, Carrol, etc.
Would you like to learn more?
Bro tell me you don’t know Mizzous team without telling me you don’t know their team
Another half dozen freshmen and transfers, blue chips and Power quality starters behind them in the rotation/ depth chart.
Only position without 3 or more guys proven Power Starters is @ QB. Got 2 of them, + a top-5 QB freshman coming in, 2 more 3-4 star kids behind him.
You could flip 2-5 ion this list in no particular order. Even as a Missouri fan I'd put Bama over us or Ole Miss until proven otherwise.
At least one of these five teams will regress and at least one of the 6-9 here will likely rise through the Season and be right in the mix for Atlanta and/or CFP.
I suspect Florida will improve and upset some folks, maybe TAMU as well. Barn being better than advertised isn't beyond realm of possibility
Every team has questions going in, anyone in top half of Conference is a legit CFP threat.
Offense @ Miz is stacked. If Cook goes down Game 1 they can line up and run over most teams on this schedule without ever throwing the ball.
Missouri's gonna be alright
Vanderbilt is so bad they should get 2 TDs on a line against Mississippi State.
Hotty toddy!❤️💙🦈🎯
War Eagle 🦅
Texas joined the big 12 like OU but OU won and won a lot 14 Conf. Titles and Texas won 4....Texas isn't rolling over anyone....
😂😂😂 where did you come up with top 5 Mike bless your heart🤣🤣🤣🤣
Auburn is better than Kentucky Florida and aamm
Roll Tide y’all ain’t even watched video yet
Missouri is too high
Kiss&Tell you guys have the Tigers at 9? You must be drinking something stronger than water! Texas A&M Oklahoma Tennessee is higher
Then Louisiana State? Wow
Give me some of that shit you guy's are sipping on.
We're see soon.
Other than the easy schedule just hard to see Missouri #3 got some good or great players but just don't see that.
LSU at 9 is just dumb.
Go Gators
Georgia at #1 is still too damn low.
Texas ain't shit they talk that talk every year and Oklahoma beats their ass they won one big 12 title in how long 😂
florida too high by several spots
I like the way you think son!! 😂😂
Texas would clap Ole Miss and Mizzou
Too bad we wont see it this year….Unless. Sec championship. MIZ!
Nah
Wrong…dumbazzzz
True
Did you actually watch either team last season against comparable, quality opponents?
I'm thinking not.
All good though.
If your Horns are all that we'll see who claps who come December.
Welcome to the League, pal.
Drink cheats
IF Scar can beat Kentucky, that could be a game changer..................................
As a Bama fan this was bs
Welcome back to reality. Interested to see what y’all are like this year. No hate
@@unauthorized_logan reality? Yeah I’m interested too super excited
17:44 GOOO DAWGS ❤
Oh well 14th is just a little better than last.😢
Boomer sooner baby
You have Texas way too high. A&M will field a better defense than Texas. By the time they meet, A&M will have a better offense too. However, I agree with A&Ms ranking due to the circumstances.
They’ll have comparable defenses. Texas will have a far better offense. 4 is on the low side
@@cameronmiller7980 Texas should be moved to #7 and the rest just bumped up. They are overrated my man. They will have a 8-4/9-3 kinda season. Losses will come from Michigan, Georgia, A&M and possibly Oklahoma. Still a strong first outing in the SEC!
Sleep on Texas. Too funny
why do you think old miss will be so great? Mizzou would f them up and down the field.
Well I stopped by Texas to admire all the championship trophies but didn’t see any 🤷🏻♂️I mean everyone’s biggest game man get the fuck outta here 😂😂😂 Go DAWGS
You don’t see the massive trophy room? It was on the SEC network
I think Texas is going kick Georgia ass.
SEC Mike, you’re a true hater lol, Hookem!
For all the haters in the comments, LSU is trash.
