Let’s Go Mountaineers! A hurt Garrett Greene carried them to 9 wins last year. One of the underrated QBs this year.
I agree. He looked fantastic in that bowl game against North Carolina last year
Tuff schedule this year. Just saying
Starts with the obligatory OU engagement farm. He understood the assignment.
😂😂😂😂 these guys are getting smart
Higher than giraffe 🐈 if you think OSU is better than OU
I might be and still think that!
As an OU fan, I thought the same, although OSU did beat us last year....
MICHIGAN!!!!!
Go 🟦
Lsu defense was terrible and they lost hella on offense 😂
Last time LSU lost 1st round QB and 2 WRs to same draft, tigers won the TROPHY the very next year. Led by an offense that increased avg in PPG.
@@user-xp6qd4sk1j Burrow was literally there for two years
@@jakemcgee1386 Why you bringing in joeyb? He has NOTHING to do with what I posted.
@@user-xp6qd4sk1j maybe because the last time LSU lost a qb and two wrs to the same draft was after they won the Natty. They lose those players the year before. Burrow was the qb both seasons.
@@jakemcgee1386 If you only knew as much football as you think you know you would be dangerous. Jetts and Jamar were NOT in SAME draft.
It’s crazy that people keep saying Oklahoma schedule as a reason for them to be low , we don’t know if any of those other teams are gone bood it’s all projection
They more than likely will be though, it’s a safe enough prediction to do it every year, and for the most part the top 10 at the beginning of the year are the same ones at the end. Same goes for the top 25
I can’t wait for football to start life sucks without it.. College football feels like a holiday.. K get the feeling of summer fall winter all at the same time.. Harry potter and christmas type vibes.. If i could fall asleep and wake up day one college football i’d do it 😂 Hail-State can’t wait to watch my team get pounded again 👌🏽👍🏽
Get a life
It doesn’t get much better than watching 12hrs of college football on Saturdays.
totally! I love baseball and frankly understand the intricacies of techniques and skills a lot better than football, BUT I still find myself watching a tier three college football game because I am intrigued by the matchup instead of my braves who are in the final stretch of the season or in the playoffs sometimes haha
I feel this! College football absolutely feels like a holiday.
AMEN TO THAT DUDE!!!
forgot Nebraska i guess
Who?
ily Greg
Notable teams I did not see:
1- Ohio State
2 - Georgia
3 - Oregon
4 - Texas
5 - Alabama
6 - Ole Miss
7 - Notre Dame
8 - Tennessee
9 - Penn State
10 - Missouri
11 - USC
12 - Wisconsin
13 - Iowa
Who am I missing & which 3 of these doesn't make the top 25? I think its SC, Iowa & Wisconsin that miss the cut.
He explained at the beginning he is only going from 25-11. Those teams are obviously in the top 10.
@@tylercollins3130 I think you're missing my point. I listed more than 10 teams with only 10 to go. Meaning some aren't making the top 25. Sure I understand that the majority are the remaining 10. Just trying to determine which couple aren't making it.
@@willjay921 Oh I see now my bad. Yep, a couple of this are getting left out all together. I think you are right.
Nice Louisville mention!
Id love to see auburn be back towards the top, 2019 was the last year i could hones enjoy a lengthy game without pointing out anything bad so i wanna see that change
Ohio state has most cupcake schedule I’ve ever seen. The hardest game they are Michigan, Oregon. Michigan has new coach
A bit surprised not to see Iowa (I doubt they're going to be in the Top 10). Always have a good defense, schedule is manageable by B10 standards now and they may actually have a QB
Lets gooo WVU!!!
run of the mill
2021 Michigan states top receiver was Jayden reed.
Jimmy Greenbeans is the QB whisperer. Look at all the great QBs that BV has seen develop against his defense every day.
Montana and That tight end at Arizona was already here prior
People will say…… WHERE did LOUISVILLE come from ? But we will see
We will see them be mediocre like always. Like when Lamar was their QB.
Kentucky is going to be really good this year I think. Bush Hamden, Brock vandergriff with that offense he runs and the weapons around him they might just surprise some folks. It's crazy to put teams like Arizona and West Virginia in the top 25 but leave out UK. Their better than both those teams, plus even some in the top 20.
Someone take the phone from their little brother
@@price4123 it's cool, you might not agree, but it doesn't mean it can't be true. Kentucky is way more talented than west Virginia, and Arizona, plus they have the most continuity in the SEC. They have a roster with Alot of 4 stars with a few five stars and have the best defensive tackle in the SEC. Plus the best corner in the SEC. If they even show a glimpse of success on offense they could be a top 15 team. 💯💯
Oh I know lol I’m just messing with ya, the Tennessee fan came out haha. Good luck with the season
@@price4123 aahh I see, them vols going down this year son!! 😎
Kentucky will stay around the middle of the SEC. Kentucky is a hoops school.
Did I miss Louisville in there somewhere? Think their defense especially is being slept on.
Did you forget how many of int ward had last year ??
Tell me why is OU #17 with a freshmen and TN top 10. Makes no sense at all.
All eyes on Nuss and I get it, but Kaleb Jackson not mentioned? People who don't know are about to learn.
As a Ohio State fan Michigan needs to ranked higher than 11. They have to be in the top 10. They should be ranked ahead of Tennessee. The only reason Greg did this is because he only cares about the SEC. He does not care about any other conference. Michigan is disrespected and they will prove Mr SEC wrong.
Wanna put money on that?
Xichigan lost their whole offensive line, their QB, their sign stealing marine, their coaching staff all left to avoid punishment, and you think they’re a top 10 team? No way
@@duganred Michigan is still going to be good. Team had a lot of depth last year and still does.
@duganred they'll definitely be better than Tennessee
@@dandietzel Good is 10 wins. I don’t see it
OU is all about Jackson Arnold. He’ll determine how good we are…our defense will be fine
The goalpost will move immediately if Texas loses week 2 in Ann Arbor. Sports media has no use for Michigan so if they beat Texas I don't want to hear how Texas isn't a top team. We know that they'll be a top 4 team.
Go Dawgs
I agree with Michigan at 11. QB will handcuff this team. 8-4
40:53 when Christmas comes miami will be a top 3 team and bring 12th was low ballin
Iowa not in the top 25 is hilarious. They return almost everyone on defense and will be top 10 again for defense. Sure, the offense will need to prove it's improved, but if you look at Iowa's schedule, they have a realistic chance of going 10-2 or 11-1.
Auburn is at 25 though which is a mess. Lost to NMSU just a couple of games ago. Iowa's backup QB might be better than Auburn's starter and their defense is probably better than Auburn's.
Nothing like ranking teams before any of them play actual games!
It’s just a little fun
The USC disrespect is wild. LR gonna prove a lot of folks wrong.
Like the last two years?
@@Tobyoneal64 One bad year and the other 1 win away from being Pac12 champs and in the playoff. What did Auburn, West Virginia, NC state, Oklahoma do that was better? I’ll wait…..
@@fayjohnson4068 USC has underachieved for the last 7 years. Got beaten by the same team twice. What have they done? I’ll wait…
@@Tobyoneal64 you didn’t answer the question. lol because you know those teams haven’t done more than SC. That was off the top of my head to there’s more included.
Ok you want me to answer what they have done? WVU 9-4. Oklahoma 10-3, you got me with Auburn 6-7 USC 8-4 with the reigning Heisman winner. USC does less with more talent than most teams. USC needs a defense and needs to play more physical. If they do not it’s going to be a long season for them in the B1G.
Bo Davis and Kevin Peoples have 18 scholarship DLinemen to work with. LSU got the numbers. Tigers edge group will be better than OK.
Utah is a top 10 team
I agree. Greg does not know ball
@@johnobrien7945How will Utah score points?
@@alexanderquarles6100 By getting the ball over the goal line.
@@Tobyoneal64 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In what world utah is going to get slapped in the big12 9-3 at best for the utes
Ksu,isu,ku and wv all play each other. You dnt want to be the one who goes 0 for 3.
My nittany lions better come to play vs west va!!!
I am shocked that Alabama is not on this list. What is most likely the regular season record for Alabama in this rebuilding year of 2024? 11-1 or 8-4
Bama will be looking for a new HC in a few years. They are used to winning, or at least competing. New coach should have stayed at UW. He squeaked by all last season with tiny margin wins vs not that great teams. Went to at least 2 overtimes vs Arizona.
@@knockout9446 I am not an Alabama fan, but I do hope that they finish with at least a winning record.
They aren’t on the list because he stopped at 11. Bama will be somewhere around 5-7 if I had to guess… Should be 11-1 or 10-2 this season. Coach DeBoer has won with a TON less talent and now he’s got a roster full of 5* players and is recruiting yet another top class. The Tide will still be in the hunt.
RTR
@skipgumphrey9579 Maybe so, but the SEC is a Gualtlet with every game a playoff game atmosphere. Plus a bunch of 5* don't make you great. Just ask Texas A&M...
Because he'll put Alabama in the top 10. There's the _potential_ for Alabama to lose 7 games this season, but I doubt they'd lose more than 3.
Payton Thorn had a weak schedule to lean on
Alright Alright Alright….we’re getting closer and closer to Collegiate Football and I can’t freaking wait! Roll Tide
I’m going to the Uga @ bama game and my dawgs are going to gata
Just say you don’t know ball with your Utah prediction
got a good laugh out of the "subject to change" comment you made at the beginning. we watched your opinion of FSU all year long change inexplicably just before the playoff committee snubbed them last year. at least you're preparing the bed you may have to sleep in next season. good luck trying to fish back that lost credibility.
🐺🐺🐺
OSU over Utah... hmmm...
Michigan at #11? Wow 😮is that ridiculously low.
New starting QB & new HC. Two biggest spots you could argue on a football team. That’s a lot to overcome. I don’t think that ranking is “ridiculous” or disrespectful at all AND I think they’ll be ranked higher by season end…..all that from an ND fan! 🍀
Spoken just like a sec/ESPN clown
#13 is fine with me!
Miami #12 we’re coming for all the haters
Oklahoma State's best player (Ollie Gordon) was just arrested for DUI. I'd expect him to miss at least a couple of games.
Baker mayfield won a heisman the year he got arrested. I think too much money might be involved and he won’t miss a game. No evidence from me. Just my opinion on what I think will happen
School hasn't even started. No reason to make him miss a game. And yeah, Mayfield was arrested running around naked. 😆
@@grondhero no need for unnecessary fake details either, but yeah at least Ollie didn’t try to take off running lol although he actually might have gotten away l
@@LitMo03 Coach Gundy announced today that Gordon won't miss any playing time. I guess the idea that a star athlete would be held responsible for his actions is an old fashioned notion.
@@chrisjames3087 well I’m sure he paid for his actions by getting arrested. That’s already not a good look but I see what you’re saying
Sellout
MISSOURI and Ole Miss will give Bama, A&M, Tennessee, LSU, Oklahoma all they can handle. Ultimately the SEC Championship should be UGA and Texaa
rich and craig are gone 😬
What problems did Mario have? An over 50% blue chip ratio? All the money he needs? He’s had every advantage. He didn’t even follow a failed coach. They fired manny for him, not for sucking. They have the best roster every year. I truly hope they are good for the ACC’s sake but cmon this is just wrong.
The blue chip ratio does not account for kids who leave. It only accounts for recruits you bring in. Miami had their first back to back top 10 class since 247 started. Sad to believe that.
So he has Tennessee as a top 10???
I doubt it, he probably didn't even put them in his top 25
Not gonna lie…. I turned it off once u put Miami at 12 based off of nothing. 😂😂
Keep sleeping
I’m not even a Miami fan but look at their schedule - if they can’t win at least 10 games then they may never do it
@@markkubiak7071 they won’t…. 8 wins. Watch.
@@mattj7583 can't wait to find u week 10
@@Canes692 I’m terrified
this list is already invalidated when you had Auburn TAMU and Miami. the annual hype
Jesus loves everyone
Auburn at #25 isn't unreasonable hype lol. It's not like Greg is saying they're top 15.
@@EulogyfortheAngelsAuburn needs to prove they can complete a forward pass before we put them in the top 25. Their offense was atrocious last year. As far as Miami goes they have a lot to prove as well. TAMU has so much talent you have to assume a competent coaching staff will be able to squeeze a lot of juice out of that loaded roster.
Florida State is a top 10 teaam. Greg hates the ACC.
You are an SEC homer - how can I take anything you say seriously?
Boomer!
Miami has the easiest schedule in the p4. That’s why they should go 11-1. If Mario can’t go 11-1 with this schedule, that is a fireable offense tbh.
Hey Greg, as a Michigan fan, I am supremely disappointed in you for underestimating Michigan here. Your analysis is so flawed. Sherrone is still there and he was a HUGE part of recruiting the players that helped build this culture. Our S&C coach was Ben Herbert's protégé. Michigan is going to have the best interior DL in the country and has the best DB in the country. I think it's crazy to pretend like all of a sudden, Moore forgot how to develop OLs after what we saw the last 3 seasons.
Michigan won,t make the playoffs this year. Ohio St., Oregon and Penn St. will. You had a SUPERIOR CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON LAST YEAR. TRULY DOMINATING. Michigan is not Georgia and will never win 2 nati's back 2 back. But that's ok
Michigan will have 4 loses
@@OSU-MAC You are insane.....10-2 the absolute worse.
@@brianreese7804 Just so you know, Georgia isn't a 'blue blood' of college football, they've only been relevant the past 12 to 15 yrs.....
He got it right 👍 (BUCKNATION)
Power bias is why ill never subscribe
Why not respect someone’s opinion like McElroy’s who played the game? It’s just an opinion at the end of the day.
How will ESPN survive this?
Preach. Most of these clowns clearly don't understand how win-loss records work.
Missouri winning national championship( I’m desperate but hopeful)
Cinderella might lose her slippers this season
As a life long mizzou fan I don’t think we have the juice/depth as the top teams. We will make the playoffs tho homie rest assured
oregon should be 1, they got best QB and wide receiver room, great OL, added bunch of talented DBs in portal, and DL with depth
They do NOT have the best QB - if he was he would be in the NFL instead of his 3rd college team
Boise State is gonna upset Oregon
What a lazy take. Can’t even back it up with stats
Two words; Ashton Jeanty
That’s why the super duper senior entered the transfer portal instead of the draft, because he was the best in the country
How is there a lack of “continuity” at Michigan??? Every replacement coach is being promoted from within. The defensive coordinator is new…but hes also the architect of the defensive scheme Michigan has been running the pst few yrs. Lazy take, Greg. You're better than the rest of the talking heads, so don’t regurgitate their misinformed opinions.
I am not an Auburn fan but i believe they have an outside shot a making the playoffs. Regardless they will be vastly inproved😅
You Dont have a QB, you don't have a shot.
