It's Cam Rising's 7th season and yes, this season will be his 3rd as a starter. He missed all last season with a knee injury but his two previous starting seasons the Utes were back-to-back Pac-12 Championships. GO UTES!
Miami, A&M and Nebraska are all consistently overhyped lol. Tennessee and Texas were in there too until they remembered how to play football again two years ago
@@vincentspitzer4364 agreed. remember how texas lost a game and went up a bunch of rankings. jfc. the aggies getting ranked preseason #6 after a 7-5 year was criminal tho then losing to app st. lmao
Thank you for respecting Iowa as an overall team and not just the offensive woes. Sick of that being the only talk despite the defense and special teams being an absolute force in the FBS. Honestly with a good offense we have some good 12 Team Playoff potential since the defense never has a weak season.
What else do you need from JMU? They have won their division both years but haven’t been eligible for the conference title game. They’re gonna be out firing and looking for the G5 spot in the playoffs, so they should at least be in “solid bowl”
Your bias against the MAC is awful. Do you even know that the Ohio team you quickly dismissed as below average has won 10 games in each of the last 2 seasons and have won 5 bowls in a row. They also beat Iowa State last year and held that offense you love to 7 points.
Oregon is a lock. I think their floor is 2 losses.They are very nearly as loaded as Ohio State, with a better QB and probably a better O-line ... better top-2 receivers in Tez Johnson and Evan Stewart, excellent RBs in Jordan James and Noah Whittington, very good front 7 on D bolstered by Jamaree Caldwell. Excellent DBs headlined by transfer Jabbar Muhammad. Oregon is filled out with yearly top-10 high school classes at this point, top-3 in 2024. There's a lot of talent. I think Oregon will be a 3-point favorite vs Ohio State on Oct 12.
They might be favored in every game next year. UM on the road is the only game right now where they are not. That could change as the season progresses.
Oregon is literally going to be the same team they were last year but playing better competition. They are not a lock to make the playoffs. Schedule is favorable though.
@@MH-0101 Oregon had the best offseason of any team. #3 in transfer grabs and #4 in recruiting. They were 9th in scoring defense and 2nd in scoring offense. The year before that they were 10th in offense and 75th in defense. Dan Lanning has Oregon on a consistent upward direction. OhioSt scored 3 points against Missouri and Michigan lost their coach and all their players. And the big10 wasn't that much better than the pac12 last year. In fact the pac12 had a much better record out of conference and in bowl games.
@@zehsackett6132 Oregon has been on a consistent upward direction for 14 years and hasn't won a national title yet. They have the same problem every year, physicality on the lines of scrimmage, in particular, the defensive line. They may get there but I have yet to see them bringing in the defensive line players they need to make it to the top.
@@MH-0101 14 years of upward trajectory with dispapointing choke games every season. Oregon's choke games under Lanning have been only beating USC by 8 and losing to Washington by 3. You don't see those BS losses to ASU anymore. Oregon was absolutely soft under Crystobal despite the talent. There's a reason everyone wants Lanning and why the analysts have Oregon trending up. Oregon is only getting better
Torn on whether I want Raiola to start immediately or sit a year and develop. I'm pretty sure we lose a lot of big players this next year and idk if a better developed 5 star prospect will make enough of a difference to replace them. Plus there's always the threat of Tony White leaving
I understand this is your opinion, but anyone that says they agreed with the decision about keeping FSU out of the playoffs is wrong. Then saying your reasoning is you don’t believe the team would play as hard without Jordan Travis? That’s just incorrect. Was Jordan Travis a hard player to lose, sure, was the team DIFFERENT without him of course. However, consider the trials FSU went through without Jordan Travis and I don’t see how you could think the team wouldn’t play as tough or as well. Those players were playing FOR Jordan Travis, they had t-shirts that said #finishfor13 which was Jordan’s jersey number. Every player was fully fighting for that playoff and to go to the National Championship game. FSU went to the swamp in Gainesville, FL and beat the Gators which everyone always says is tough to do but FSU did it and beat them by 2 scores. Then, because of a cheap hit in the game with the Gators, Tate the QB2 shows concussion symptoms in practice. Gets up to facing Louisville in the ACC Championship and the decision to pull Tate is made. Enter FSU QB3, a kid who hasn’t played hardly any game time and a true redshirt freshman. Goes out in his first ever game in an ACC Championship game and does his best which isn’t that great, but our defense kept Louisville out of their own end-zone. Louisville did not score a single touchdown even with them getting to the 2 yard line and then to the 5 yard line another time. Could another team have done that, played with a 3rd string QB in a conference championship game and still won. FSU was playing with a goal in mind, they were playing hungry REGARDLESS of who was the QB. I would have put FSU’s defense against ANY top 3 team and guaranteed FSU’s defense would absolutely stomp them into the ground. Could FSU have won the National Championship? I think we would have at least gotten to the National Championship game and it definitely wouldn’t have been a blow out against FSU. FSU would fought and fought hard in that game, but they were not even given the respect to prove that even though they proved they could win games without Jordan Travis. It’s never been about “most deserving” because you could argue who is most deserving, you can’t argue with wins and a 12-0 record always beats 11-1 period. Too bad so sad for the SEC teams but let’s face it, ESPN already spilled that dirty secret on live tv. No way was there going to be a playoff without the SEC, #rigged! Not to mention the year Saban retires and his team “magically” gets into the playoffs with a 11-1 record over a 12-0 power 5 conference championship team…under the table dealings. This decision ruined college football because it clearly pin pointed the absolute bias that is the SEC. Seriously, if your team is not SEC guaranteed they will get screwed at one point or another. It’s easy to sit back and agree with the decision when it’s not your team. But just imagine if it was your team…would you still agree? Anyone that says they would is lying. Again, your opinion is your opinion but all this to say that I disagree with it. I’m not trying to start anything, but I won’t ever not fight against this because it’s wrong and there is no defending it.
@@crazydrummer181 so how can you agree it was wrong but still agree with the outcome? That sounds a bit patronizing to me. Also, how do you know it was a better game? Would you like to look in your crystal ball for me and get the lottery numbers that would really help me out. Since you must be able to predict the future with being able to tell what game would have been better or not.
As a Notre Dame fan, and the son of both an alumnus (Dad was MBA Class of '76) and an employee (Mom worked in the bookstore and served Joe Montana his Freshman year)... I _hope_ you're right. Notre Dame to me always seems to be at a disadvantage because they just cannot get the top QB prospects (and considering that the three successful NFL QBs that come to mind from Notre Dame were drafted in the third, fourth and fourth rounds, there's history conspiring against them) But it always feels like they're losing one or two games that they _should_ win. But this year, 10 and 2 _would_ get them in. Then they just need to play like there's no tomorrow.
Missouri with the easy schedule may be a contender, and many NCST. SMU solid bowl, Rutgers, Nebraska, and West Virginia higher in the average. Those are small gripes on an otherwise great list. Perhaps split up the Power 4, it does get a bit cloudy with All the teams
Iowa’s Big Ten schedule this year isn’t as bad as it was when first announced. Ohio State is the toughest opponent. Washington and UCLA losing their coaches makes those games a toss up. Iowa State and Wisconsin will be a close games. Otherwise I’d say the rest Iowa should be favored. 7-5 at worst, 10-2 at best. All depends on the offense
As a Kentucky football fan, I can completely understand being placed in the average category. I however don't understand being placed below Florida, Louisville and Marshall 😂.
WVU should be on the same line as Arizona and on the verge on being a Playoff contender. They have all the impact players coming back off a 9 win team!
Happy to see respect on South Alabama's name. Wish the team was more consistent but I was happy we kicked the crap out of Oklahoma State this past season.
I think you're underrating Oklahoma State a little bit. They return 21 starters, and have a favorable schedule. Will likely play in the Big 12 title game again
Go Hokies! Don't get much love anymore from anyone hope this year is just a little better than last year we are bringing back basically everyone from last year.
i think Rutgers can win 9-10 games next season. Basically everyone is returning on both sides of the ball (yes they still need a good QB). Their schedule is favorable & they’ll be facing most of the B1G West. Keep an eye on RB Kyle Monangai btw. Future NFL star.
Bro always hating on Fresno 😂 cooked Purdue week 1 and had a great run. Keene was up and down on injury. If you account injury then yes maybe average but definitely not average man
Dude, Purdue was awful and Arizona State was bad epic bad. Hey get over yourself. They come up short more often than not regardless who is coaching them. I don’t think any Mountain Worst team has a shot legitimately to be good enough for the G5 AQ or an at-large bid this year. But next year or in 26, it be different story depending on the situation in the other more powerful and stronger G5 Conferences in AAC and SBC. The top of the MAC and CUSA will be fighting for a possible bid for the next few years easily unless they join the AAC and SBC.
Do you think if South Carolina played Coastal Carolina Vegas would favor Coastal Carolina? I think not but according to your rankings you think Coastal Carolina is the better team.
The circle W has been changed to just academic and they have a Bronco as their athletic logo. As a current student I think it was stupid for them to try to make the W an athletic logo but they’ve atleast remedied it a bit.
How is wake a “horrible team” akin to Virginia? Wakes made bowl games 7 out of the last 8 years. Clawsons been at wake 10 years and has made bowl game 7/10 years. Wakes been ranked in the top 25 multiple years in the past 3-4 years. Am I acting like wakes a powerhouse? No. But to just dismiss them shows you don’t actually watch CFB deeply. UVA has one bowl win in the past 18 years dude… Wakes 5/7 in bowls in just the 10 year clawson era
Cal should be average not below average, They return one of the best Running Backs In the country and They will be better with all the talent they return. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win 7 or 8 games, maybe even 9.
@retstak You won't be the worst team in the acc. You made a bowl game last season, and you guys have done a good job in the portal and return all your top players. There's a chance you only win 6 games, but Cal won't be "below average"
Ty for your love of Virginia teams. More so JMU and Liberty. UVA is never very good. And Tech is eh. But the Dukes and the Flames. Love em and I live only an hour away from JMU. Gonna do some games this year. Wish I could go to the ODU game but Norfolk is a long way away from me (Northern Virginia) But Georgia State or the Coastal Carolina game.
Pokes should’ve at least been average. San Diego state has been pretty terrible in football and we had a great year last year. Brought in a great recruit and transfer class this year as well.
I like Trent Dilfer and was an absolute excellent hire for HC. He will hopefully end up like Chris Petersen or Gary Patterson or Gus and stick it out until the ultimate HC job at a P4 opens up and would be foolish not to take it.
Ok here me out, if nc state only loses to Tennessee and wins all the other games going 11-1 or also losing the Clemson game going 10-2. Playing in the acc championship game and losing by a touchdown to fsu, Do we see nc state in the playoff?
@@LordTylerBluGunderson FSU should be good but putting Miami or Florida anywhere in the same sentence as FSU is somebody’s sucking on that hype train a little too much in my opinion
@@nobodyknows9083 Bruh, have you been living under a rock?😂 Miami has been getting TONS of hype. Way more so than Florida and MAYBE even FSU with their recent recruiting class that’s coming in. All Florida teams this year look like they’ll be decently competitive this year except sadly 4 FAU and FIU. UCF and USF are the only solid non-power 5 teams from that state.
Arizona lost Judd and some staff followed him to Washington no? I feel putting them as a playoff contender is risky I’d put Mizzo in playoff contender personally
Need to do more research brotha. Arkansas below average? I’m not even a hog fan but come on. Kj left thankfully, they got a new 6’6” amazing qb named taylen green, they got Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator, they got their old o-line coach back (when he was there they had the biggest o-line in the country) Arkansas has it going for them rn. Definitely gonna be a dark horse team and I’m worried about playing em. Bobby petrino ain’t not joke. When he was their head coach they made it to the cotton bowl🤷♂️
Kentucky below Florida? Exactly how well has that worked out for the Gators the past 3 seasons? Kentucky is a 7 or 8 win team and the Gators are a 4 win-club at best!
@@LordTylerBluGunderson You realize how depleted they were due to injuries? Everyone deals with injuries, but last year was not normal for any team. Rising returns at QB and he's a terrific QB. We Duck fans know more than most, just how good the Utes are. Plus KW is an excellent coach.
@@jimedick9496 Sure, they were depleted, but that doesn’t mean Utah is going 2 be insane right off the bat. They are a total question mark as of now. They COULD be a potential playoff contender if they somehow turn out 2 be surprisingly decent and if they have a fairly easy schedule, but it’ll take a lot more 2 convince me than just “they’ve been great in the past and they were depleted last year, so they’ll be great again”.
Their QB that won them back 2 back PAC-12 championships is back. He was out with an injury last year. Rising alone should make them very competitive. They’re really not much of a question mark at all. They return all but 3 of their starters on defense. Two safeties and a lineman. Half their starters on offense will be gone, but again, the most important position with QB is back. 3 of their 5 offensive linemen, along with their 2 backups with substantial playing time are back. TE returns. 1 of 3 WR returns. They do lose their RB, though they have a couple of RB’s who have plenty by of experience. Utah should do very well. Plus Kyle Wittingham does more with less on an annual basis. He’s an excellent coach.
15 playoff contenders and above is too few in a 12 team format. We are likely looking at 7 from the BIG10 and SEC. 4 from the ACC and BIG12. 1 from the G5.
contenders and above should probably be 12 from the SEC and Big10. 8 from the BIG12 and ACC. 3 from the G5. Basically a modified top 25 that takes into account automatic berths.
Auto bids 1. Ohio state or Oregon(both get in) 2. Georgia or Ole Miss(both get in) 3. Utah or Kansas State(both probably get in) 4. FSU(maybe the ACC gets a second team in) 5. Boise State or Tulane(only one will get in) Plus 7 6. Oregon 7. Ole Miss 8.Texas 9. Notre Dame 10. Alabama 11. Kansas State 12. Penn State (not in seeding order)
This playoff system is bs window dressing for a fixed bias Its all rigged for the ratings SEC/BIG10 😂are the ratings maker. $$$$ The snubbing of 13-0 FSU didn't wasn't just "sad" it exposed what was hidden. I don't see how a playoff system changes this direction
Jacksonville State below average 😂😂😂😂 solid bowl at least. You literally threw most of the group of five teams there because you know nothing about the group of five level. What a joke
I think the only locks are: OSU, UGA, Texas, & Oregon… I think teams like Ole Miss, FSU, Utah, Penn state, & Bama will be right there as well. I think ND, Michigan, LSU, Clemson, Arizona, KSU & nc state will all have a shot at it as well
@MH-0101 They are returning a majority of their starters. They also brought in QB Dillon Gabriel from the portal to replace Bo Nix. He was a Heisman candidate for the Sooners last year. Oregon lost two games last year by a combined score of 6 points, both to the #2 team in the country. They look like a legitimate top 4 team.
@@MH-0101 You don’t think players improve? Every team that’s won a national championship did it with first year starters? Players improve. They lost to the #2 team in the nation twice, with a combined score of 6 points. That’s the only team they lost to. Oregon killed it in the transfer portal that fills the needs of what was lost, plus they had another stellar recruiting class. Dillion Gabriel looks to duplicate Bo Nix, but with more run option. Those are my reasons as to why they are a top 4 team. Will they end up there? Who knows, that’s why they play. I think OSU, Oregon, Texas, Bama, and Georgia are the top teams. Tennessee could surprise, as well as FSU. Both could sneak into the top 4. Another team that I think could get into the mix is Arizona. People might laugh, but their QB is fun to watch. Ol’ Miss and MIZZU are other teams I think make the top 10.
I am going to unsubscribe if you don’t change your mind it is not a conversation that Texas not making the playoffs if you do this one more time in the next year I will never return to this channel and I will tell every Texas to beaver come back to this channel also Michigan is trash
Why did you hype up Tennessee just to put them in solid bowl? They’re better than some of the teams on the playoff contender tier. They have an easy schedule, where they only need to go 10-2 to make it.

Your bias against the MAC is awful. Do you even know that the Ohio team you quickly dismissed as below average has won 10 games in each of the last 2 seasons and have won 5 bowls in a row. They also beat Iowa State last year and held that offense you love to 7 points.

Bro always hating on Fresno 😂 cooked Purdue week 1 and had a great run. Keene was up and down on injury. If you account injury then yes maybe average but definitely not average man
Dude, Purdue was awful and Arizona State was bad epic bad. Hey get over yourself. They come up short more often than not regardless who is coaching them. I don’t think any Mountain Worst team has a shot legitimately to be good enough for the G5 AQ or an at-large bid this year. But next year or in 26, it be different story depending on the situation in the other more powerful and stronger G5 Conferences in AAC and SBC. The top of the MAC and CUSA will be fighting for a possible bid for the next few years easily unless they join the AAC and SBC.
Do you think if South Carolina played Coastal Carolina Vegas would favor Coastal Carolina? I think not but according to your rankings you think Coastal Carolina is the better team.
As a Western Michigan graduate, I detest the new logo. The raging bronco of old was so iconic
Go western!
The circle W has been changed to just academic and they have a Bronco as their athletic logo. As a current student I think it was stupid for them to try to make the W an athletic logo but they’ve atleast remedied it a bit.
WVU is going to be a solid bowl lock but I won't hold you because people don't watch them like in the 2000s- early 2010s.
Indiana is going to surprise some people this year. Much easier schedule, a lot of new transfers. Probably closer to average
How is wake a “horrible team” akin to Virginia? Wakes made bowl games 7 out of the last 8 years. Clawsons been at wake 10 years and has made bowl game 7/10 years. Wakes been ranked in the top 25 multiple years in the past 3-4 years. Am I acting like wakes a powerhouse? No. But to just dismiss them shows you don’t actually watch CFB deeply. UVA has one bowl win in the past 18 years dude… Wakes 5/7 in bowls in just the 10 year clawson era
Its insane that boise state isnt a playoff contender. If they beat Oregon week 2 theyre almost a lock. Theyll dominate in conference play.
Louisville is winning the ACC🔥🔥🔥
i dont know if theyll win but I do think they're seriously underrated and a playoff contender.
Naw FSU is
Florida State’s better. Maybe Clemson too.
@@LordTylerBluGunderson what do you think about SMU and Miami?
Nebraska probably wins 7 games. Could see plus or minus 2 though.
Cal should be average not below average, They return one of the best Running Backs In the country and They will be better with all the talent they return. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win 7 or 8 games, maybe even 9.
Go Bears!
😂
Go cal bears
I don't think we're going to be the worst team in the ACC.
@retstak You won't be the worst team in the acc. You made a bowl game last season, and you guys have done a good job in the portal and return all your top players. There's a chance you only win 6 games, but Cal won't be "below average"
Las Vegas has the over/under for Oklahoma's win total at 7.5, not even close to contending.
Yea I’d lock Oregon too but not Texas
No ucla or usc on the list
He ordered them by the U in their names
OSU, Arizona, and Utah will be a three horse race for the conference championship. I think you may be sleeping on Oklahoma State a little.
Ty for your love of Virginia teams. More so JMU and Liberty. UVA is never very good. And Tech is eh. But the Dukes and the Flames. Love em and I live only an hour away from JMU. Gonna do some games this year. Wish I could go to the ODU game but Norfolk is a long way away from me (Northern Virginia) But Georgia State or the Coastal Carolina game.
Pokes should’ve at least been average. San Diego state has been pretty terrible in football and we had a great year last year. Brought in a great recruit and transfer class this year as well.
This is the year UMass gets into the below average tier. I believe!
Troy over South Alabama always. Back to Back SBC champs.
He got a lot of the sun belt teams wrong
Go blazers 🐉🔥

I like Trent Dilfer and was an absolute excellent hire for HC. He will hopefully end up like Chris Petersen or Gary Patterson or Gus and stick it out until the ultimate HC job at a P4 opens up and would be foolish not to take it.
Ok here me out, if nc state only loses to Tennessee and wins all the other games going 11-1 or also losing the Clemson game going 10-2. Playing in the acc championship game and losing by a touchdown to fsu, Do we see nc state in the playoff?
Oregon the top five team with pedigree but it’s not a playoff lock. Also, you’re crazy on Miami and Colorado
They are a lock as a B1G team in a 12 team format.
Oregon’s an easy lock. Miami/FSU/Florida are question marks.
@@zoam7881 How are they a lock? They are the same team as last year but they will play better competition this year.
@@LordTylerBluGunderson FSU should be good but putting Miami or Florida anywhere in the same sentence as FSU is somebody’s sucking on that hype train a little too much in my opinion
@@nobodyknows9083 Bruh, have you been living under a rock?😂 Miami has been getting TONS of hype. Way more so than Florida and MAYBE even FSU with their recent recruiting class that’s coming in. All Florida teams this year look like they’ll be decently competitive this year except sadly 4 FAU and FIU. UCF and USF are the only solid non-power 5 teams from that state.
you did not do NC but you did NC State
Respectfully disagree on Missouri. A lot of returning starters, a good recruiting class and transfer portal class among a favorable schedule.
Here to see who I’m using in NCAA😂😂😂😂
I’m a Georgia Bulldogs fan
Go Gators and Ducks
Arizona lost Judd and some staff followed him to Washington no? I feel putting them as a playoff contender is risky
I’d put Mizzo in playoff contender personally
Need to do more research brotha. Arkansas below average? I’m not even a hog fan but come on. Kj left thankfully, they got a new 6’6” amazing qb named taylen green, they got Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator, they got their old o-line coach back (when he was there they had the biggest o-line in the country) Arkansas has it going for them rn. Definitely gonna be a dark horse team and I’m worried about playing em. Bobby petrino ain’t not joke. When he was their head coach they made it to the cotton bowl🤷♂️
kj jefferson went to UCF
Miami going to be elite! If Clemson is a Playoff team how is Miami not?? Miami is predicted to win the ACC more than Clemson
Miami is a hasbeen they're going 2B Hot Trash 😂 they can't even run out the clock successfully😂
Can't wait to know inside when Miami makes the playoffs how many people doubted us@@FIGHTONnatties
Ecu should be in the trash column. They went 2-10 in a easy American conference
I agree with Georgia, but how fun they play 4 playoff contenders, 3 true away games. This is not the SEC East.
Ginger a Cal hater.
App St solid bowl
am i missing something with arizona ?
😂😂😂 definitely not
Kentucky below Florida? Exactly how well has that worked out for the Gators the past 3 seasons? Kentucky is a 7 or 8 win team and the Gators are a 4 win-club at best!
Ginger boy stays hating on App State
dont sleep on utah. they will go 12-0, be a 3 seed, and will make the final 4
Utah’s mid. Only looked okay against Florida game one. Got beat down by Oregon State later on. I don’t think they’ll contend.
@@LordTylerBluGunderson tell me you are a casual without telling me you are a casual
@@LordTylerBluGunderson
You realize how depleted they were due to injuries? Everyone deals with injuries, but last year was not normal for any team. Rising returns at QB and he's a terrific QB.
We Duck fans know more than most, just how good the Utes are. Plus KW is an excellent coach.
@@jimedick9496 Sure, they were depleted, but that doesn’t mean Utah is going 2 be insane right off the bat. They are a total question mark as of now. They COULD be a potential playoff contender if they somehow turn out 2 be surprisingly decent and if they have a fairly easy schedule, but it’ll take a lot more 2 convince me than just “they’ve been great in the past and they were depleted last year, so they’ll be great again”.
Their QB that won them back 2 back PAC-12 championships is back. He was out with an injury last year. Rising alone should make them very competitive. They’re really not much of a question mark at all. They return all but 3 of their starters on defense. Two safeties and a lineman.
Half their starters on offense will be gone, but again, the most important position with QB is back. 3 of their 5 offensive linemen, along with their 2 backups with substantial playing time are back. TE returns. 1 of 3 WR returns. They do lose their RB, though they have a couple of RB’s who have plenty by of experience.
Utah should do very well. Plus Kyle Wittingham does more with less on an annual basis. He’s an excellent coach.
My Nittany Lions 🦁 are definitely getting in!!! 11-1 or 10-2 at worst!!!! WE ARE
Tennessee is definitely a playoff team
Jesús loves everyone
Florida gonna surprise u guys and beat y’all down. Watch.
@@Babylion2311Amen😎🤙
15 playoff contenders and above is too few in a 12 team format. We are likely looking at 7 from the BIG10 and SEC. 4 from the ACC and BIG12. 1 from the G5.
contenders and above should probably be 12 from the SEC and Big10. 8 from the BIG12 and ACC. 3 from the G5. Basically a modified top 25 that takes into account automatic berths.
Auto bids
1. Ohio state or Oregon(both get in)
2. Georgia or Ole Miss(both get in)
3. Utah or Kansas State(both probably get in)
4. FSU(maybe the ACC gets a second team in)
5. Boise State or Tulane(only one will get in)
Plus 7
6. Oregon
7. Ole Miss
8.Texas
9. Notre Dame
10. Alabama
11. Kansas State
12. Penn State
(not in seeding order)
This playoff system is bs window dressing for a fixed bias
Its all rigged for the ratings SEC/BIG10 😂are the ratings maker. $$$$
The snubbing of 13-0 FSU didn't wasn't just "sad" it exposed what was hidden. I don't see how a playoff system changes this direction
It’s Lou-is-ville and don’t sleep on Brohm just wait and watch the transfer. Best defense in ACC
Jacksonville State below average 😂😂😂😂 solid bowl at least. You literally threw most of the group of five teams there because you know nothing about the group of five level. What a joke
Sec isn't that much harder. Texas and Oklahoma will prove that this year.
I think the only locks are: OSU, UGA, Texas, & Oregon… I think teams like Ole Miss, FSU, Utah, Penn state, & Bama will be right there as well. I think ND, Michigan, LSU, Clemson, Arizona, KSU & nc state will all have a shot at it as well
Oregon and Florida in the Nati would be a dream come true 4 me.
Why Oregon lol?
@MH-0101
They are returning a majority of their starters. They also brought in QB Dillon Gabriel from the portal to replace Bo Nix. He was a Heisman candidate for the Sooners last year. Oregon lost two games last year by a combined score of 6 points, both to the #2 team in the country. They look like a legitimate top 4 team.
@@jimedick9496 The team last year wasn't a top 4 team. This is the same team.
@@MH-0101
You don’t think players improve? Every team that’s won a national championship did it with first year starters? Players improve.
They lost to the #2 team in the nation twice, with a combined score of 6 points. That’s the only team they lost to. Oregon killed it in the transfer portal that fills the needs of what was lost, plus they had another stellar recruiting class. Dillion Gabriel looks to duplicate Bo Nix, but with more run option.
Those are my reasons as to why they are a top 4 team. Will they end up there? Who knows, that’s why they play.
I think OSU, Oregon, Texas, Bama, and Georgia are the top teams. Tennessee could surprise, as well as FSU. Both could sneak into the top 4. Another team that I think could get into the mix is Arizona. People might laugh, but their QB is fun to watch. Ol’ Miss and MIZZU are other teams I think make the top 10.
Kansas to the CFP a lock when we win the Big 12.
bro oregons gonna beat ohio state next year... autzen is ruff... putting ohio state as a lock and putting oregon as a on the line is redick.
Based on what
I think Oregon stands a good chance with OSU, but it's going to be tough. At the Big House is scary.
I am going to unsubscribe if you don’t change your mind it is not a conversation that Texas not making the playoffs if you do this one more time in the next year I will never return to this channel and I will tell every Texas to beaver come back to this channel also Michigan is trash
Fans like you are why I hope Texas goes 9-3 and miss the playoffs. Why get so angry over a random UA-cam video?
The disrespect for the MAC tho…
Really good bracket don’t think Oklahoma is behind uofa
A lot of Mississippi State’s troubles came from losing Mike Leach
Bold Prediction. I think Air Force has a chance to be a playoff team.
The problem with AF is they have no depth, they fell off a cliff when their qb got injured
@@zch7491 They also return the LEAST amount of production in the whole country.
Why did you hype up Tennessee just to put them in solid bowl? They’re better than some of the teams on the playoff contender tier. They have an easy schedule, where they only need to go 10-2 to make it.
