Not only did the cheaters cheat, but Stallions told the whole truth, and that's how disgusting the NCAA and everything is, they only care about money and drama that brings attention to a program??? Because, the cheaters couldn't beat Ohio State for literally 20 years, and Franklin was 3-3 against Harbough, till they started cheating!!@ WE ARE
IOWA lost to the 6th or 7th best SEC team 35-0 ... they are not a playoff team. Sorry. And tell me why Penn State is a National CS Contender. Why is that ? You said nobody benefits more from no divisions as PSU coz they never could beat OSU or Michigan. What if PSU has to play a real big boy in the playoffs ... latest in the semifinals. UGA, Bama, Ohio State all will beat Penn State ... you know that and i know that. Penn State is a really really good program but nowhere near a title contender. Its the same like Ole Miss. Can beat everybody outside of the real big boys.
@svenkreuzberg2274 also, Iowa had a top 3 defense statistically last year. Wake up. If they were getting a 50% raise, they'd have played in the CFP NC game lmao.
you aren't taking into consideration their o line rotated heavy the last two years, and for the first 3/4 of the schedule last year, the subs played most of the 3rd and all of the 4th. Michigan's only concern should be the QB1, but they only need a game manager. They won't win the Natty, but should get into the playoffs. Floor is 8-4, Ceiling is 11-1.
If you’ve seen my other comments you know I lean Ohio St. I want Michigan to throttle Texas to shut up people like Josh Pate who are willing to ignore the obvious flaws on the Longhorn defense just to get the clicks from the massive fanbase. Also all the other arrogant Texas fans that think one year makes them relevant. I’ll never say this again, but on week 2 GO BLUE!!
Thank you, Buckeye! Remember that Texas fans have some weird song from the '1920s which they sing and dance to pretty much every time that they get a First Down, need water, take a leak, or feel like they have to sing (painfully). I cannot wait to watch the Boyz and the true Ladies in the House bust out moves to Skunk Bear music.
greg none of osu portal additions or qb makes them tougher..they are worse at wr and te this yr...def only 1 major addition...if he not physical in box..he doesnt make them tougher
Oregon had a 22nd defense overall last year. However, you have to get through 7 B1G teams before you get to Oregon. which is the problem. there’s a difference, it’s west coast style offense vs big foot northern defense
We will all soon find out when Ohio State visit AUTZEN STADIUM and realize they hit a solid armored steal walls, since everyone thinks they’ll win there
@GoatedAtNFS Oregon is built like an SEC team so most of the B1G shouldn't be a problem. Oregon went up against more elite QBs than other conferences did. Either way, Oregon upgraded their secondary so they are good to go.
Rutgers has a ton of resources, full B1G money, and are in a decently populated state (9+mil) and next to 3 well populated states ( PA, NY) with 13+ and 19.5 million people. The right coach should be able to build them to be very good. As long as the administration is supportive that is.
@@johnfischer4090 did you even read my comment? Btw, Rutgers beat Miami Fl, and they’re a hellava better program than MD. That said, again, none of this changes the facts that Rutgers has the resources, the facilities, and only really needs the desire and to build.
I understand you think Rutgers has the resources to be good. My point is that Maryland has dominated Rutgers the last few years and has good facilities as well. I'm going to look forward to seeing if Rutgers can even win in College Park next year. I believe last year Maryland dominated them if I remember correctly.
@@jamessanders6788 maybe they won’t win a natty, but they have won 11 games in a season before and they absolutely can be an 8-9, 10 win team. All they need is the administration to out that B1G money where their mouth is. Mix in revenue sharing, and good recruiting and coaching, they can be good. You’re 100% wrong. That’s a fact.
Pretty good assessment, overall. I think I would move USC up to Tier 2, and Rutgers up to Tier 3, but I otherwise agree. Underneath Ohio State and Oregon, I think the BigTen will be very interesting and unpredictable this year, due to all the coaching changes, portal movement, new schools, and elimination of divisions. Maybe I’m counting wrong, but I think 14/18 schools will start new QBs this year.
Nebraska has to first make a bowl game to be in the “expect to make a bowl game tier” lmao. Then maybe they could be considered a championship spoiler. Hilarious list
Great run down McElroy! I couldn’t agree more with tier one! I’ve been screaming the same thing about Michigan! They will be great again but they have lost so much, including JH!
Michigans qb situation will be something to watch . Otherwise they will rotate people in and out like they did last year. I believe they will fall off some but not as much as alot of people are predicting.
Nebraska is only ranked high in these polls so to schedule. Let's not forget the for boat raced by Colorado one over the worst teams in the old Pac-12.
Greg, isn’t the ACC is saying they’re not playing FCS heavy schedules at the end? That the other conferences are playing wussy schedules in the non-con?
Coming into a new conference is very difficult and Oregon gets both Ohio State and Michigan . Penn state has a favorable schedule not a favorable team or scheme theres a huge difference. Michigan has a brutal schedule but might suprise people
Penn States loaded on defense. Not sure why you said not a favorable team. Offense just needs to be average. They’re not going to win a natty but they should go 11-1 and win a playoff game .
@@Rodgerzgoatok he has a bad record against OSU and UM. THE D is sound and legit. If the offense can find rhythm- look out!!! Andy K is capable. Check the 2023 Kansas Offensive stats with less talent.
The ACC is saying they are not afraid to play teams. If the SEC had said it, u would be wording it differently. Not a Michigan fan but stop hating on there coach. Thats why you have them where you do.....
Wow Mr. McElroy...Throwing the Wolverines down the drain this year just because they are reloading with transfers and well-experienced former offensive 2d teamers who have patiently awaited their turn with the Ones? Playing lil o to win for a 4th straight BIG championship? Not having peuh state on their schedule this year for their annual Wolves beatdown? Is it because for some idiot reason ps-pee-yooh was the only team in the BIG who never designated a rival to play at each end of each season.? Or, assuming the most overrated team in the nation - 0 - with their sociopath coach who cannot find a touchdown at the end of ANY game of even remote importance, dissapoint his "F-ike" NIL partners? Or is it the fact that MICHIGAN beat alabama (...) in the Rose Bowl? Don't be an apologist - just solidly admit it. M will smash ridiculously overrated Texas at home and Blue will then be No. 1. Michigan is 24 and 0 at home in the Big House the last three seasons (15-0 last year anywhere). The dux may have been exposed to lil o at the 'shoe three years ago, but Homey don't play that at the BIG House. O's OL will gap and gape against UM's stout D. And - FINALLY - I suggest curtailing backhanded (and curiously anticipated) criticism of Mr. Alex Orji and Head Coach Sherrone Moore (2-X Recipient of the Joe Moore Award and runner-up last year to the UW team UM smashed in the Natty). Some commonalities there. You ain't seen nuthin' yet...
Excellent insight Greg re ACC claim to toughest non-conference schedule in the country = antipodal to claiming that the ACC has the toughest conference schedule in the country. Sharp. But I think the Michigan call will be controversial and you expect pushback etc. is disingenuous. Michigan massive step back is absolutely consensus, mainstream chalk. FPI #12, ESPN way too early #13, Penn State ahead of Michigan to win P1G according to oddsmakers, Penn State also ahead of Michigan to win CFP according to oddsmakers.
Whoever you are, you don't know anything about BIG football. The reason Pooh State may do anything this year is because THEY DON'T HAVE A RIVAL AND THEY DON"T PLAY ANYBODY AT THE END OF THE SEASON. Not the BIG 2...They have not beat Michigan in over a decade - and they played every year. Ditto lil o. Awesome that Michigan has the toughest schedule...Texas (non-BIGleague CFP team), Oregon (haven't won nothing the last 20?years), USC, Washington (Natty runner-up last year and a class act fan base), and the rest of SnowWhites 7 dwarfs plus Fresno State. Except for maybe one of the dwarfs, Pooh doesn't stand a chance. Finally, oddsmakers take advantage of fools like you who don't understand the momentum of simple juggernaut teams that rocket their way toward titles as a season matures. I ardently suggest you don't visit any Internet bookie at an Indian casino until Christmas (or thereafter).
First of all.... what Athan Kaliakmanis were you watching in 2023. His QB play was average at best. He missed open receivers, made poor decisions, and his accuracy was average at best. Next... no team has a more inhumane schedule than UCLA. Their bye week in week two is meaningless in relation to their schedule. After that they have a 5 week stretch where they travel to LSU and two coast to coast road trips with no bye week. In the first nine weeks they never get back to back home games. Bet the house on UCLA not winning more than 4 games with a first year head coach and average talent.
Ohio hasn’t had a lack of talent, they do still have the same lazy, mentally soft, underachieving staff who couldn’t collectively scheme a touchdown against Missouri in their last outing. Plus a play caller who’s 63-69 over 11 seasons in his own offense. Congratulations on winning the offseason hype title. I guess. 😂
What are you talking about? You doubted Michigan the entire year last year at almost every opportunity, pretty sure you predicted Penn state to win early last year AND Ohio state? I don’t think you are a buckeye homer, but I think you guys are classic lazy espn and sec biased and don’t actually look into our conf enough past score sheets and rosters
I love how every analyst thinks Michigan will just fall off a cliff. I love the motivation for my team 😂
They will. They're trash.
Bc they will.
that's because they. can't cheat and they must plays a tougher schedule vs cupcake teams
@@ThomasJohnson-qg2vz They never cheated lmao

So the entire justification of Indiana being at the bottom is “it’s Indiana”? Stunning analysis there genius.
I say James Franklin and Penn State will make it to the College Football Playoff this season.😀😀🏈🏈
I think you are correct. In fact, with 12 teams and no divisions, they'll make it most years.
Not having Michigan in the top tier is one thing but having Penn state up there is crazy 😂
Michigan in ranked 130th in returning production out of 134 teams and they just lost their head coach
Not so fast! on PSU, (in my Lee Corso voice). You heard what the man said. Thank you Greg!!
qb makes up most of returning production...if the qb produces@@JesseEubanks
If you’re a homer then yes but if you objectively analyze the situation at Penn State you agree they are top tier.
Man im tryna defend yall Wolverines but every year is different. PSU on paper is better
So what we’ve been doubted before so we’re doubted again. Go Blue! Us Against Everyone!
Be thankful, the guys is getting all the bulletin board material they need 😅😅
