I have never understood the love Miami gets every year. They haven't been relevant since 2001-2002. They always find themselves in the top 10 of the pre season rankings, and they do nothing all year long.
They have the same exact issue Texas A&M have/had. Great talent, big alumni support, top classes, etc. there is just something about both of them that no matter what, they lose way more games then they should on paper

Have nothing against them, they just lost too much and are practically completely starting over on offense. Experience matters and when you lose all of it at once, youre going to see a change and likely decline. You dont just randomly get a brand new offense that can play at the same level as the previous experienced, championship offense. I think it's very reasonable to expect Oregon to be really good again with the pieces they brought in to fill their need spots and tons of overall experience. It would be unlikely for Michigan to be in the top two in their conference IMO. If they can beat Texas that will greatly improve their chances but I just dont see that happening.

Notre Dame hosting my broncos in the first round of the playoff is actually a legit possibility.. I don't think I realized that until I saw it on the board itself hahahaha. It's making things much more exciting and much more real! Stoked for this season!
@@irishcole3516 I would 100% agree that we have the pieces in the skill positions to do work... And our RB is an absolute dawg!! We'll see if we can put something together for a full game though... That's going to be a tough ask in Eugene lol
Man I got so excited when he said Kansas in the conference title. I’m a Kansas fan and I know making it to that game would mean so much to KU fans. They are building in Lawrence
IMO there's no chance you beat Utah if you get there, but with your guy's super easy schedule and great coach, if you can get by Kansas State on the road you'll have a MAJOR shot at a conference championship berth! 🤷 Which for Kansas would basically be like winning back to back National Championships. 🤣
Finally a College Playoff system giving all division I teams a legit chance to participate... and it only took 155 years to get here, (The last legit champion Rutgers beat Princeton in 1869 -> those were the only college football teams that year).
I don't get it. If Penn State had beat UM and OSU in the regular season, they would have been playing for national championships for the past few years. How does calling them a 9 seed and watching them lose to a better team yet again actually change anything? In what way were they not allowed to participate in the past?
@@princea5886PSU just isn't that good they haven't beaten anyone under Franklin look at their record against ranked teams they can only beat cream puffs
Can't argue with the stats - TX and OH are stacked as usual. We'll know a lot more after TX takes on MI in the big house. I agree with the Vegas odds = close game. Ewers is scary good - we'll see if he's good enough to avoid of the MI "D".
It will come down to Ewers make all the right plays.. mason graham and Kenneth grant are going to clog all run lanes don’t see Texas running the ball well at all..
Why tf should Notre Dame get rewarded every single year for a cupcake schedule? Their two toughest games are USC and A&M. Neither are even a top 5 team in the B1G or SEC. Pretty ridiculous. Every time Notre Dame makes the playoffs or play an actual legit team, they get their 💩 kicked in. Either get in a conference or don’t go to the playoffs. Tired of them being overrated every year without playing anybody.
Wild and dumb imo. Same could happen with michigan and ohio state at some point. Takes away from the best rivalry in sports. Also, rivalries like TX/OK, AL/AU, etc. Could have it happen at some point.
It really is interesting how certain paths are just so much easier then others. Getting that 5 seed might, no matter the teams, be the easiest path to the semi finals.
I don’t know, starting off the day with your team playing a huge game and having the rest of the day to watch the other games without being all wound up is pretty great
notre dame playing by different rules is honestly one of the funniest developments of 21st century cfb, i’m not saying it’s right or wrong i’m only saying it’s entertaining 😂😂
Not really sure how you see this as “different rules”. Teams joining conferences are doing so because THEY want or NEED to. NOBODY is forcing them to. Conference alignment is all about money and ND has PLENTY. That’s not to say they’ll never join one. However, don’t confuse your wanting ND to join a conference, with them needing to. Everyone will hafto play the same amount of games. So, there will be no advantage in that regard.
It ain’t it for OSU this year. Loses to us again, maybe twice in the playoffs… Ryan Day fired. OSU into a coaching tailspin and becomes irrelevant for 5 years while they rebuild. That’s all I want for Christmas this year
Yeah, I don't think UT jr is as good this year as they were last year. I could be eating my words come November, but we'll see! I'm just excited for this season of football, it's gonna be amazing I think.
It’s definitely possible since they haven’t played in a long time and in the past Texas has beat georgia plus the location it would be at. They have been very competitive against the top SEC schools in very very recent years.
@@Viper-dn8ix Yeah they usually put up a good fight against higher opponents but will forsure be interesting to see how they do in the SEC. Everyone has high expectations, maybe too high i’ll admit
You heard it here first, TX loses to Michigan week 2. Ohio State loses to Oregon, MI and Penn St. SorryJoel but Ohio State won't get it done. Additional note, watch out for TN. Love the show!! Continue success. GO BLUE!!
This season is going to be amazing. I know that there is an element of tragedy with the separation of the top 25-40 teams and the rest of CF, but the product on the field is going to get better and better .
Love ya, Joel. Spare me with the Miami, Notre Dame talk. We hype these programs up every year, but they falter. They are not the same programs from 20 years ago and its about time the national media starts treating them as such.
I agree especially with notre dame, but they do have a ridiculously easy schedule and might end up there, then get blown out by a decent team like they normally do
ND does not deserve as much criticism as Miami. Miami has had good recruits and done NOTHING in the last decade. At least ND has been a top 5-15 team consistently. I also know ND does not belong in the top tier of teams by any stretch of the imagination, but they are wayyy more consistent than Miami.
@@user-xf1pf2vs6m Michigan plays a real schedule. They don't schedule the lower half of the ACC and random mid-level P5 programs, they play in a real conference.
Joel, you put forth a realistic possibility of the first 12 team playoff. I can quibble with you about the teams and seedings. The power of this UA-cam comes from your ability to cross a possible scenario with underlying subplots that makes this must watch TV to not only the college football junkies (me) but the average fan. I've always been excited for an expanded playoff; you just made it more so! Hook 'em!
Agree completely on getting rid of the bowl games in the quarters. It needs to be home field advantage throughout and then the National Championship played at the Rose Bowl every single year. Glorious.
Look at what they added. Their defense was their Achilles heel last year. It will be much better this year and they have a top 2-3 OL and QB in the country. They’ll be better than last year.
Don't worry, Joel. Utah vs Texas at the FIesta Bowl? Might as well call it a Utah home game because Glendale, AZ is not too far for us Utah fans. We'll fill that stadium with red.
You do realize Texas has a national following right? Texas alumni chapters in most major cities throughout the country. 50/50 attendance split most likely, maybe even 60/40 Texas crowd. The game can be in Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Texas fans would still travel. You do realize not all Texas fans live in Texas right? I live in NH and I know many Texas fans up here in New England. I haven't met a single Utah or BYU fan up here....lol.
@@patentjohntran1283 They lost everyone from that offense and were boat raced by Washington. Congrats on finally beating Iowa State and Texas Tech. I'm sure thats going to translate well to the SEC.

@@FrankRammatra First off they weren't boat raced, they lost on the last play of the game. Secondly they didnt lose everyone on offense, literally almost the entire OL and QBs are back....so were two of the RB's that got a ton of play time late in the season. Not worried about losing two top tier WRs when theres multiple top tier WRs about to replace them anyways. You're mistaken (or just hating which is more likely) if you honestly think Texas is just gonna be bad lol. Theres a lot of good teams so yea they very well might not make it to the natty but theyre certainly good enough to be a true contender.
@chasejackson7248 The regular season has nothing to do with it or even the conference. Joel already has Bama in the playoffs. He is saying that if Joel was correct in his prediction, his pick of Oregon and Texas over Bama is odd. Last year DeBoer beat Oregon twice and Texas in the semi's with a lot less talents and support than he has at Bama. I believe in each of those games, Joel picked Oregon and Texas to win.... and here he goes again. Joel is a good analyst, but a horrible prediction picker.... same thing year in and year out. The anti-SEC picks of ND, OhSt, USC, Oregon and PennSt over and over just gets old.
Joel, brother, you are GREAT! You are the MAN. I love the enthusiasm, and how can you not have a high level of enthusiasm this college football season. It’s going to be incredible. Now, I know at this point you couldn’t say it so I’m gonna say it for you. Colorado WILL win the Big12 conference championship and get that slot you have Utah in. You’d be hung up by your heels if you went there, so let me save face for you my friend, but will fall to Texas unfortunately, but there you have it. You can thank me later. 😉👌🏾
This guy loves Ohio state he picks them every year there defense should be good but there offense has questions at QB and O line which could cost them in the end
As a Penn State fan who hates them as much as anyone, I think it's a solid pick this year. I do agree with the questions at those position groups, but I really think them and Georgia are just a step ahead of everyone else talent and ceiling wise. And btw. Joel had Georgia and Michigan ahead of Ohio state in his pre season rankings last year so idk what you're talking about lmao
There were questions about O-line and QB in the spring but the analysts that go to practices have been saying the O-line will be really good and that Will Howard showed major improvement over the summer. Practice isn’t the same as a real game but the unbiased assumption based on what we’ve heard is that OSU is a complete team.
Would love to see Joel bring on some commentators to his own show. He thrives in the back and forth and would love to see it here. Would also bring more numbers as their listeners tune in.
It’s crazy that when I was younger I would hear “ they don’t like FSU” but honestly since the lawsuit of Jameis and the new lawsuit against Acc and espn you really see the hate fr.
Bama’s defense won’t depend on what we’ve lost. It’ll depend on what we have. We have the tools and coaching for an elite defense. Roll Tide Roll. Can’t wait for the season
I can’t wait for them to make the final 4 people really have no clue how good the offense will be by end of the season. Especially once they get wrote off if UGA or Tennessee beats them.
Joel I know you work for Fox noon, but noon games are the absolute worst time for college football. We want more prime time night game atmospheres under the lights. The way football should be played
He is TOTALLY sleeping on Alabama. Don't care. Can't deny us when we win. Last year we weren't as good & won the SEC & barely lost against Michigan! It's laughable. Mark my words, this is Bama's year. Can't wait to prove it on the field. RTR BAMA FAM 🔥💪
I'm a Bama lifer, but still can't know. I'll be a little more sanguine if we get through Wisconsin, GA, TN, etc. with W's. But as of now, I haven't seen the product on the field yet. Here's hoping. RTR.
And who prevented this from happening years ago? The bowls. Joel touched on it, in a few years, it will be home team advantage for the winners, just like the NFL. Going to a 3rd party location cheats both teams and their faithful fans. Winning should receive a benefit = Home field advantage.
I love how much he's avoiding Georgia throughout this season. Tough schedule, really tough road games, tough semi, etc. I love it as a Dawgs fan. It's exactly what we need. Gonna be fun!
No, because I think it's gonna be A.It's a new coach with probably a new type of a system That is why they're gonna be probably a kid's e.Attempt seeder are close to it and not a three seed or two seed
Bama at 10 is the same reason Michigan is at 11. Both teams have lots of changes. Everyone making conservative picks. If Bama/Mich win one of more of the games people have them losing, both can be in the top 4.
There will be scenarios - potentially this year, and all future years - that a team ranked #5-12 could be better than a team in the #1-4 slots with the conference champions getting 1st-round byes. For example, I would argue that teams #5-11 are all better than #3 Miami or #4 Utah, but...they won their conference (in this scenario). Makes the conference championships mean something. And also means just being the higher seed doesn't mean you're the favorite.
regardless of the teams a 12 team bracket CFP is more fun than a 4 team BCS 12 to 8 quarter finals to the final 4 semi finals to the final 2 championship. To me the beauty of the 12 team CFP is we could see some major upsets occur, for example a top 4 Bye team (or teams) losing in the quarter finals

Uncle Lous is ready. That is who is ready. Best prediction video for FSU vs GT. ua-cam.com/video/rTZaD1rJAU0/v-deo.html

Notre Dame hosting my broncos in the first round of the playoff is actually a legit possibility.. I don't think I realized that until I saw it on the board itself hahahaha. It's making things much more exciting and much more real! Stoked for this season!
Boise state has the skill position players to challenge Oregon according to some analysts
Get your wet dreams out before the season starts and reality sinks in
Could be, and then they literally have to play the exact same game the next season.....
@@irishcole3516 I would 100% agree that we have the pieces in the skill positions to do work... And our RB is an absolute dawg!! We'll see if we can put something together for a full game though... That's going to be a tough ask in Eugene lol
@@MattBuild4 Yeah not ideal honestly in that situation, but still sort of cool.
Regular season OSU loses to Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan, then loses to Texas in the playoffs.
Pressure to win causes Day and his team to implode.
comment fuels OSU
As a PSU fan, I’ll believe it when I see it. Beating OSU, that is.
based on ?
@@JamesAnderson-zp8gx based on 3 straight losses to Michigan and pressure to win a championship.
Best show ever Joel. You're on fire! Great energy and passion on display, while staying yourself.
Man I got so excited when he said Kansas in the conference title. I’m a Kansas fan and I know making it to that game would mean so much to KU fans. They are building in Lawrence
Rooting for you, go blue!
Literally building!
IMO there's no chance you beat Utah if you get there, but with your guy's super easy schedule and great coach, if you can get by Kansas State on the road you'll have a MAJOR shot at a conference championship berth! 🤷 Which for Kansas would basically be like winning back to back National Championships. 🤣
Finally a College Playoff system giving all division I teams a legit chance to participate... and it only took 155 years to get here, (The last legit champion Rutgers beat Princeton in 1869 -> those were the only college football teams that year).
Only 155+ years.... Facts my friend, facts!
I don't get it. If Penn State had beat UM and OSU in the regular season, they would have been playing for national championships for the past few years. How does calling them a 9 seed and watching them lose to a better team yet again actually change anything? In what way were they not allowed to participate in the past?
@@princea5886PSU just isn't that good they haven't beaten anyone under Franklin look at their record against ranked teams they can only beat cream puffs
@@Dan-md3hr Exactly. That's why them, and the other teams ranked 5-12, don't need another shot. They already lost to the good teams during the season.
@@princea5886 Same way Kamala became DEM nominee as maybe the most hated politician ever... the elites put them in.
Michigan gonna upset aloft of people again this year
Especially the NCAA. I hear they are very upset. 😂
@@stephenlight647 tf they got to be mad about the fact that they can’t make billions off student athletes anymore 😂
Can't argue with the stats - TX and OH are stacked as usual. We'll know a lot more after TX takes on MI in the big house. I agree with the Vegas odds = close game. Ewers is scary good - we'll see if he's good enough to avoid of the MI "D".
It will come down to Ewers make all the right plays.. mason graham and Kenneth grant are going to clog all run lanes don’t see Texas running the ball well at all..
Super excited for this one.
So wild hearing Klatt tall about possible SEC title games and no mention of Bama
Why tf should Notre Dame get rewarded every single year for a cupcake schedule? Their two toughest games are USC and A&M. Neither are even a top 5 team in the B1G or SEC. Pretty ridiculous. Every time Notre Dame makes the playoffs or play an actual legit team, they get their 💩 kicked in. Either get in a conference or don’t go to the playoffs. Tired of them being overrated every year without playing anybody.
And there’s a 0.0% chance they make it to the final 4.
agreed. They should return to ACC
Overrated? Last year they were preseason number 13 and finished the season ranked number 14. Accurately rated.
ND not beating us at the coliseum. That's an L. Fight On! ✌️
Texas and Georgia playing each other 3 times in one season is wild.
Wild and dumb imo. Same could happen with michigan and ohio state at some point. Takes away from the best rivalry in sports. Also, rivalries like TX/OK, AL/AU, etc. Could have it happen at some point.
Fraudburn will never be good enough to have 3 iron bowls in one year. Need to pay the next Cam Newton i guess
Gotta love college football. I'm just waiting for Notre Dame to actually live up to the pre-season hype. Just once would be fine.
ND hasn't had a good OC for several years now. They finally got one. I think it's going to make a world of difference.
Pre season hype?
We Penn St fans feel this as well. The annual hype train is brutal
I'll come back after osu finishes 10-3
So you’re saying they win their bowl game. Fair enough. 😂
You could play this a gazillion different ways and it would always come out sensational.
It really is interesting how certain paths are just so much easier then others. Getting that 5 seed might, no matter the teams, be the easiest path to the semi finals.
I've been waiting for Joel to come out with this episode!! Thank you, Joel!
24:32 there is no way man. Night games will always hail supreme in the college landscape
I don’t know, starting off the day with your team playing a huge game and having the rest of the day to watch the other games without being all wound up is pretty great
Tell that to PAC 12 after dark
The people in charge of college football could've been had this playoff decades ago and we the fans missed out on a lot of memorable playoff battles.
Here's what we know for sure - it won't happen like this.
There is so many great games this year with the realignment, no more hiding from big games.
notre dame playing by different rules is honestly one of the funniest developments of 21st century cfb, i’m not saying it’s right or wrong i’m only saying it’s entertaining 😂😂
Yep they will eventually have to join a big ten or sec college football is on its way to an nfl set up two conferences best teams get in playoffs
Not really sure how you see this as “different rules”. Teams joining conferences are doing so because THEY want or NEED to. NOBODY is forcing them to. Conference alignment is all about money and ND has PLENTY. That’s not to say they’ll never join one. However, don’t confuse your wanting ND to join a conference, with them needing to. Everyone will hafto play the same amount of games. So, there will be no advantage in that regard.
JOEL KLATT ALWAYS EDUCATE ME ON CFB!!! ❤
Joe must be high because he's picking Ohio state to win it all Michigan going back to back national championship
Klatt. Best and most fair analysis ever.
Go Blue!!
Michigan has a better season than ND. 90% certainty.
@@jakeFrmOhno one cares about Notre Dame
@@nicholastaiariol2631 You're definitely no one.
Thank you for finally giving my Canes some love guy!
It ain’t it for OSU this year. Loses to us again, maybe twice in the playoffs… Ryan Day fired. OSU into a coaching tailspin and becomes irrelevant for 5 years while they rebuild. That’s all I want for Christmas this year
Oh how I hate Ohio State!
@@harris5140being hated is a compliment thank you!
I'm a Blue fan, but how does Ohio lose twice in the playoffs? You lose once, you're out.
Not a fan of either team but Ohio State easily beats Michigan this year and Michigan goes 9-3 and misses the playoff.
F u guy OSU winning it all this year
Most excited I’ve ever been for a college football season!!! LFG!!!
You believe Texas beats Georgia 2 out of 3 times? Lol good luck with that.
Yeah, I don't think UT jr is as good this year as they were last year. I could be eating my words come November, but we'll see!
I'm just excited for this season of football, it's gonna be amazing I think.
It’s definitely possible since they haven’t played in a long time and in the past Texas has beat georgia plus the location it would be at. They have been very competitive against the top SEC schools in very very recent years.
@@FastRT I will say, Texas games were quite fun to watch last year. I'm obviously not their biggest fan, but they knew how to put on a show!
@@Viper-dn8ix Yeah they usually put up a good fight against higher opponents but will forsure be interesting to see how they do in the SEC. Everyone has high expectations, maybe too high i’ll admit
Boy howdy I'm a Horns fan and I'm telling you I'm hoping to only see them once and squeak it out there
This Oklahoma team hits HARD JOEL
Don't sleep on Michigan
zzzz too late. They are top 10, but not top 3-4 elite like they were last year
Every year, everyone thinks so highly of Ohio State just to see them be the Cowboys of the NCAA
I love that Joel loves the Buckeyes, but it always ends up disappointing me haha
the scriptwriters went crazy here.
Having Penn State at #8 and UND at #5 is ridiculous. They’ll be lucky to make the playoffs at all.
Penn State & ND comes to the coliseum this year. Those are both L's for them. Fight On!✌️
Boise State the best G5? I don’t know about that. The best G5 team will be Memphis or Appalachian State
Don't sleep in UNLV
I agree with Memphis
Can’t wait, this season will be epic and probably one of the most exciting on record.
You heard it here first, TX loses to Michigan week 2. Ohio State loses to Oregon, MI and Penn St. SorryJoel but Ohio State won't get it done. Additional note, watch out for TN. Love the show!! Continue success. GO BLUE!!
This season is going to be amazing. I know that there is an element of tragedy with the separation of the top 25-40 teams and the rest of CF, but the product on the field is going to get better and better .
Let’s hope he’s not in a position to take a knee 😂😂😂😂 joel that was cold
No respect for mizzou. They got such a workable schedule this year
Love ya, Joel. Spare me with the Miami, Notre Dame talk. We hype these programs up every year, but they falter. They are not the same programs from 20 years ago and its about time the national media starts treating them as such.
Fr the ND hype is unbearable lol
I agree especially with notre dame, but they do have a ridiculously easy schedule and might end up there, then get blown out by a decent team like they normally do
I would LOVE to see the “Catholics vs. Convicts” t-shirts come back!!!!
ND does not deserve as much criticism as Miami. Miami has had good recruits and done NOTHING in the last decade. At least ND has been a top 5-15 team consistently. I also know ND does not belong in the top tier of teams by any stretch of the imagination, but they are wayyy more consistent than Miami.
And it's time haters like you start to realize that reputation doesn't win or lose football games. The current roster and coordinators do.
Replace Texas with Oklahoma, now you got something.
Not with that schedule
Notre Dame could be the perpetual winner for most undeserved praise in a football program.
they’re gonna go 10-2 or 11-1 and have no notable wins but still end up in the playoff and get embarrassed.
Catholicism in general tbh
The last time they won a title the Soviet Union was still around, literally makes no sense.
@@wolverinesfan9021you been waiting 26 years to say that
@@user-xf1pf2vs6m Michigan plays a real schedule. They don't schedule the lower half of the ACC and random mid-level P5 programs, they play in a real conference.
Joel, you put forth a realistic possibility of the first 12 team playoff. I can quibble with you about the teams and seedings. The power of this UA-cam comes from your ability to cross a possible scenario with underlying subplots that makes this must watch TV to not only the college football junkies (me) but the average fan. I've always been excited for an expanded playoff; you just made it more so! Hook 'em!
You forgot Ryan Day can’t get it done…
Agree completely on getting rid of the bowl games in the quarters. It needs to be home field advantage throughout and then the National Championship played at the Rose Bowl every single year. Glorious.
MICHIGAN > TEXAS, Texas lost by an inch to Washington, Michigan STEAM ROLLED Washington. UM Football > Horns Down!
Does everyone forget how much Texas just lost from last season?
Look at what they added. Their defense was their Achilles heel last year. It will be much better this year and they have a top 2-3 OL and QB in the country. They’ll be better than last year.
Don't worry, Joel.
Utah vs Texas at the FIesta Bowl?
Might as well call it a Utah home game because Glendale, AZ is not too far for us Utah fans.
We'll fill that stadium with red.
I’m a Michigan fan but no offense whoever wins that game is going to run all over yall just reality.. check the roster trenches of both teams
Lol. Utah fans are hilarious. Arizona is right next to Texas and Texas has a large national fanbase unlike Utah.
😂 Texas fans will show out far more my guy. lol
You do realize Texas has a national following right? Texas alumni chapters in most major cities throughout the country. 50/50 attendance split most likely, maybe even 60/40 Texas crowd. The game can be in Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Texas fans would still travel. You do realize not all Texas fans live in Texas right? I live in NH and I know many Texas fans up here in New England. I haven't met a single Utah or BYU fan up here....lol.
More like burnt orange
Imagine picking Texas to live up to the hype and actually win something lol
Texas won the Big12 and played in the national semi-final game last season so um...yea they're good again 😅
@@patentjohntran1283 They lost everyone from that offense and were boat raced by Washington. Congrats on finally beating Iowa State and Texas Tech. I'm sure thats going to translate well to the SEC.
@FrankRammatra boat raced? Texas was 1 play away from playing in the national title game 😅 They return alot from that offense actually and probably has one of the top QB & WR rooms in the country. That offense is gonna be good
@@patentjohntran1283 first off ewers sucks. nobody is scared of him. second your coach and program are notorious overhyped oversold under delivered disapointments. third look what happend to washington in the nc game when they played a real program. and yall couldnt even beat a pac school when u didnt deserve to be there in the first place and went out and proved it. nice brag bro. 8-4
@@FrankRammatra First off they weren't boat raced, they lost on the last play of the game. Secondly they didnt lose everyone on offense, literally almost the entire OL and QBs are back....so were two of the RB's that got a ton of play time late in the season. Not worried about losing two top tier WRs when theres multiple top tier WRs about to replace them anyways. You're mistaken (or just hating which is more likely) if you honestly think Texas is just gonna be bad lol. Theres a lot of good teams so yea they very well might not make it to the natty but theyre certainly good enough to be a true contender.
bravo bravo Joel. that was awesome. watching it again at 2x for added hype
Kalen Deboer is undefeated against Sark and Lanning but you but those teams in front of Alabama.
Bama has more talented team than both too
What does that have to do with alabama he's not in a mediocre conference anymore.
@chasejackson7248 The regular season has nothing to do with it or even the conference. Joel already has Bama in the playoffs.
He is saying that if Joel was correct in his prediction, his pick of Oregon and Texas over Bama is odd. Last year DeBoer beat Oregon twice and Texas in the semi's with a lot less talents and support than he has at Bama.
I believe in each of those games, Joel picked Oregon and Texas to win.... and here he goes again.
Joel is a good analyst, but a horrible prediction picker.... same thing year in and year out. The anti-SEC picks of ND, OhSt, USC, Oregon and PennSt over and over just gets old.
Joel, brother, you are GREAT! You are the MAN. I love the enthusiasm, and how can you not have a high level of enthusiasm this college football season. It’s going to be incredible.
Now, I know at this point you couldn’t say it so I’m gonna say it for you. Colorado WILL win the Big12 conference championship and get that slot you have Utah in. You’d be hung up by your heels if you went there, so let me save face for you my friend, but will fall to Texas unfortunately, but there you have it. You can thank me later. 😉👌🏾
This guy loves Ohio state he picks them every year there defense should be good but there offense has questions at QB and O line which could cost them in the end
As a Penn State fan who hates them as much as anyone, I think it's a solid pick this year. I do agree with the questions at those position groups, but I really think them and Georgia are just a step ahead of everyone else talent and ceiling wise. And btw. Joel had Georgia and Michigan ahead of Ohio state in his pre season rankings last year so idk what you're talking about lmao
There were questions about O-line and QB in the spring but the analysts that go to practices have been saying the O-line will be really good and that Will Howard showed major improvement over the summer.
Practice isn’t the same as a real game but the unbiased assumption based on what we’ve heard is that OSU is a complete team.
I want to see a brand new team Winning the championship..
Colorado 😅
It's unfortunate we didn't have the 12 team playoff the previous season.
Would love to see Joel bring on some commentators to his own show. He thrives in the back and forth and would love to see it here. Would also bring more numbers as their listeners tune in.
It’s crazy that when I was younger I would hear “ they don’t like FSU” but honestly since the lawsuit of Jameis and the new lawsuit against Acc and espn you really see the hate fr.
IT WAS AN EPIC DAY
College football is back, babyyyyyy
You can tell college football is almost here..Joel is all giddy; he has the same cfb illness and disease we all do
Great analysis! This year is going to be amazing! Hookem 🤘
Bama’s defense won’t depend on what we’ve lost. It’ll depend on what we have. We have the tools and coaching for an elite defense.
Roll Tide Roll. Can’t wait for the season
These ppl don't understand how elite this bama defensive line is... they gonna surprise everyone..
@@AlabamaPoeHoping I'll be able to say the same about Michigans defense, lost a lot but we still have some DAWGS
RTR
@@TedBundyofVibesMichigan defense is still #1 best in college football. Will Johnson and Mason Graham are the top 2 picks for next year NFL draft 💯
I can’t wait for them to make the final 4 people really have no clue how good the offense will be by end of the season. Especially once they get wrote off if UGA or Tennessee beats them.
It will be Georgia against Ohio State in the championship game. Not sure who will win that game but it will be an epic game. Can't wait!!
What a year this will be. Ohio State National Champions & Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl Champions.
GO BUCKEYES!!!!
Nice to hear joel come out and say the southern teams get a big advantage in postseason games and have had it for years!
Joel I know you work for Fox noon, but noon games are the absolute worst time for college football. We want more prime time night game atmospheres under the lights. The way football should be played
The Noon kickoffs fans vs prime time kickoff fans might be the best rivalry in college football
@@Simbaforlifeim a big fan of both. I love huge games all through the day on saturdays. Keeps the day exciting
100% agree! Hate noon kickoffs!
With the exception of a few teams and a few matchups CFB is meant to be played in the day.
I like a mix of both. I'd hate if they played at night all the time. It's nice catching day games
Hey Joel, just recently started listening to your podcasts! You do a great job, I love listening!
Don't sleep on ALABAMA
He is TOTALLY sleeping on Alabama. Don't care. Can't deny us when we win. Last year we weren't as good & won the SEC & barely lost against Michigan! It's laughable. Mark my words, this is Bama's year. Can't wait to prove it on the field. RTR BAMA FAM 🔥💪
I will
@@SuthrnRed9-3 at best
@@chasejackson7248what 3 are going to beat them ?
I'm a Bama lifer, but still can't know. I'll be a little more sanguine if we get through Wisconsin, GA, TN, etc. with W's. But as of now, I haven't seen the product on the field yet. Here's hoping. RTR.
And who prevented this from happening years ago? The bowls. Joel touched on it, in a few years, it will be home team advantage for the winners, just like the NFL. Going to a 3rd party location cheats both teams and their faithful fans. Winning should receive a benefit = Home field advantage.
I love how much he's avoiding Georgia throughout this season. Tough schedule, really tough road games, tough semi, etc. I love it as a Dawgs fan. It's exactly what we need. Gonna be fun!
The number and quality of extra games we now get is INSANE!!!!
i agree with everything but swap Ohio state and Michigan :)
Seeing Bama in the 10th seed is insane for some reason
No, because I think it's gonna be A.It's a new coach with probably a new type of a system That is why they're gonna be probably a kid's e.Attempt seeder are close to it and not a three seed or two seed
Bama at 10 is the same reason Michigan is at 11. Both teams have lots of changes. Everyone making conservative picks. If Bama/Mich win one of more of the games people have them losing, both can be in the top 4.
Cause u know that ain’t happening
FINALLY!!! A true college playoff at division 1 . Should be lots of fun!!
Im not a Alabama fan but its no way they gonna be a 10 seed
There is certainly a path for Bama to go 10-2 and not make the SEC championship. I think that would put them around 9 or 10 in the seedings.
There will be scenarios - potentially this year, and all future years - that a team ranked #5-12 could be better than a team in the #1-4 slots with the conference champions getting 1st-round byes. For example, I would argue that teams #5-11 are all better than #3 Miami or #4 Utah, but...they won their conference (in this scenario). Makes the conference championships mean something. And also means just being the higher seed doesn't mean you're the favorite.
regardless of the teams a 12 team bracket CFP is more fun than a 4 team BCS
12 to 8 quarter finals to the final 4 semi finals to the final 2 championship. To me the beauty of the 12 team CFP is we could see some major upsets occur, for example a top 4 Bye team (or teams) losing in the quarter finals
Kinda weird cause Bama gonna be in the SEC Championship
Against who? I think it’ll be Bama vs. Texas
