- College Football season is drawing closer and on Late Kick Live Ep 151 Josh Pate took some time to spotlight what he feels are the most dangerous teams in the nation this year. Could LSU be the only program in America with unlimited upside AND downside? What would Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels look like with a significantly improved defense? What does TCU's schedule tell us about the potential Gary Patterson and the Horned Frogs may have? And could Washington be a surprise Playoff team from the Pac12? With the caveat that teams already ranked inside the top 10 with Playoff consideration are excluded, which teams do you think merit consideration to be considered the most dangerous in College Football this year?

Best college football content don’t let up !!!! Great work
Any respect for Arkansas is more than we’ve grown accustomed to. Thank you Josh! 🐗🐗
I'm hoping we go under the radar and end up with six wins. It would also be great if Matt Corral throws the ball to us 6 times again this year.
You remember back when Arkansas had great running backs and physically forced teams to respect them. I remember Darren McFadden beating LSU in double overtime right before LSU won a Natty
@aaron short Felix Jones
@@VonBluesman one of the favorite sports moments of my life is DMac asked the Alabama crowd to get louder on a 3rd and 3 in the red zone. Everyone in that stadium and on television knew dmac was getting an inside ISO and we still converted.
@aaron short Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, and Hillis for Arkansas. Remember Cadillac Carnell Williams and Hummer Ronnie Brown at Auburn ( sorry no pun intended ). Those guys ruled the backfield in college football and the NFL for a while.
I agree with these takes, but I think Ole Miss would need an above average defense to really make some noise.
With an average D, can they win 8 games ??
@@insaluki9769 probably.
The SEC West and Big 12 could get wild this year
Edit: ok the SEC and Big 12 got wild before the season even began lmao
Truth!!
Another 2014ish year in the SEC west would be a lot of fun to watch.
Sec wear for sure big 12 doubtful
Uh..what about georgia who has THE BEST ROSTER in the nation!! What about florida who has showed they can develop players and play with any1..the sec west is tough but dont dis on the east
@@timgray3631 Bama and LSU >>>> Georgia and Florida, and thats before you even account for A&M and the fact that the east has the SEC's worst teams like Vandy, SC, and Tennessee
Without our starting LT?
LSU Compliance is a dinosaur.
...and our locker room rot is at UGA now.
Super excited for the LSU-A&M game. Maybe even more then Alabama-A&M.
LSU vs Ole Miss is going to be something!
@V Law the Sabine showdown? I also heard the Gulf War recommended which sounded really good.
@@benjaminprewitt4281 lol “the gulf war” would be hilarious
The gulf war would be sick!!! 😂 Budro vs billy bob
With A&M's pathetic OL and true freshman QB, along with A&M's very antiquated offense, it won't even be entertaining. It will inevitably be very similar to the 2019 contest.
I actually agree Ole Miss is going to be dangerous. And this is from Alabama Fan...
I think Ole Miss could legitimately compete for any conference championship other than the SEC this year
As an Aggie I 100% agree. Josh is right I'm very uncomfortable with them on the schedule 😂
Why did u have to feel the need to announce which team u are a fan of?
@@scott2864 I mean I guess I didn't have to say it but I wanted to give the context like the bama fan did. I play them every year and this year I'm worried about playing them
@@scott2864 Show no Bias not a fan of team he is saying is Dangerous.
Definitely agree with all these pics was thinking the same especially for LSU and Ole Miss as I follow the SEC the most but love college football in general. I’m excited to watch TCU play tho lots of talented kids there now and I believe Zach Evans the former 5 star back will be the guy this year, people will definitely tune in to watch him
Wisconsin and Indiana
I enjoy your broadcast so much I just signed up to Instagram looking forward to the access.
Thank you Josh Pate for your informative videos
I totally agree on Ole Miss.
Great takes JP. Ready to listen again on Tuesday and sun nights. Love the show
So your not going to cover the serious issue with Coach O and the title 9 investigation? It seems important because that may effect how LSU goes forward.
He didn’t cover it b/c technically it has nothing to do with his question. His question was, who are the most dangerous teams in 2021. Talent wise LSU is one of those teams.
@@rtanner7335 it does have to do with this because if there’s trouble for Coach O then the team probably won’t be as dangerous as he thinks
The title 9 will not be harsh to Coach O.
Its already been settled as far as currently
@@phoneixsfall344 It’s not going to have anything to do with the talent that is already there on the football team now. The title 9 stuff might effect them later on down the road, but as far as 2021 is concerned, it won’t hurt them much if any at all.
The title 9 investigation isn't even the only one LSU has. They also allegedly have evidence that they took $500K from a Hospital for recruiting money. It's all basically being overlooked lol
I like the TCU pick. Gary does well with 3* kids who are tweeners and extreme athletes, but he's starting to land some high end 4* and 5 star guys now and that will make them very dangerous. If you play Gary Patterson on a Thursday it will be the hardest game on your schedule. That game vs Iowa St is guaranteed to come down to the last play book it
Lsu vs Ole Miss gonna be lit!
For sure, as an LSU fan I’m excited for that game
It always is
You must be an Ole Miss fan. It's going to be the usual cake walk,
@@purplegold8447 UGA fan, and I wouldn't count on it.
@@kale6772 No wonder you are so delusional. 2020 was a down season and LSU still won. This year will not be a down year. Hence, LSU will easily destroy Ole Miss.
Regarding TCU - yes, they should be improved, but they have a lot of questions. That veteran o-line you’re talking about includes two transfers expected to start on a unit that has not been able to keep Dugan safe. They allowed 23 sacks last season, which was 71st in the nation, tied with Texas, and behind Oklahoma (24 in 11 games) West Virginia (21), Texas Tech (16), K-State (14), and Iowa State (16 in 12 games) in the Big 12. It doesn’t matter how underrated the WRs are if the o-line can’t pass block. As to TCU leading the Big 12 in rushing, the leading rusher for the team was Dugan, and much of his yards came on plays when he was forced to run to avoid being sacked. Hanging your QB out to dry and hoping he makes magic is not a formula for being a dangerous team. Dugan is really good, but he’s not Vince Young. Plus, an injury to him would be devastating to TCU’s season. I know you got a pitch from some friend who’s high on TCU, but I don’t think you have true grasp of what that team’s potential pitfalls are.
Kentucky, Texas A&M, Miami, and Oregon
Miami? Not with Manolito as HC.
As a Washington fan, and especially after seeing how they've played the past couple years, the one team I am most confident we will lose to is Stanford. We just struggle with them for some reason. Add on the fact that we have to play AT Stanford, and I see a loss in the making. Oregon is tough, yes. But Stanford seems to have our number. Plus, we haven't beat Stanford on the road since 2007.
Dude it's so annoying I've noticed that to Stanford just has Washington's number for some reason. Washington could've been undefeated last year but nope... Stanford had to spoil the party. I honestly could see Washington beat everybody in their regular season schedule only to lose to Stanford.
side note, looking at these schedules we need conference challenges mid season like they do in basketball, bc there are a lot of boring games all over
no
These games help prepare the best teams for conference and championship playoffs. With the 12 team expansion this year, any team can get in through the back door, like the NFL usually has a sleeper team that starts to come alive at the end of the season out of nowhere and makes it into the playoffs. It’s going to be a great year. Geaux TIGERS !!!
Indiana could probably qualify for this too. People are gonna expect them to drop off slightly because they ended the season on a bad note without Penix. They got some really talented players in the transfer portal and if Penix is healthy they're a huge threat to spoil OSU, or ruin Cincinnati's chance of making a dark horse run, also have a chance to influence the race for the west division by taking down Iowa. Indiana can potentially cause a lot of chaos this season in the Big Ten and Midwest in general.
Indiana will be very good but I don’t think it’ll show up in the win column, out of Iowa, Cincinnati, Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan I only see them winning 1 or 2 of those
@@rmichels05 I don't expect them to win a majority of those games. But they have a chance to win any of those games and they only need to win 2 or so to cause some serious chaos. My prediction for them is probably 3rd in the east rn though.
Indiana, like the Big 10, is a freaking joke!
@@purplegold8447 lol you went 5-5 last year
@@rmichels05 So.
Miss St picked last in sec west. Never happen. Gonna shock some media faves.
Mizzou is an up & comer.
I believe so too. But probably in 2 years they will be deadly
INDIANA! Hoosiers gon be tuff💪🏾
Yeah Josh, but the big caveat for the TCU part you didn't mentioned. OU is playing TCU at home after the RRR. That's the part of the schedule OU will not take lightly in my opinion. K-State, Texas, and TCU back to back to back.
Not to mention that TCU’s o-line has been bad and is counting on transfers to shore it up this season.
K-State will come into week 5 knowing it can beat OU. So I still think @KSU is the second most likely game for a Sooners loss, with ISU being the most likely. I wouldn’t bet on OU losing to KSU or ISU, but if the Sooners drop a game, it’s probably one of those. TCU isn’t even in the conversation of who might upset OU, imo. I’d put Texas and OSU at 3rd and 4th most likely.
Y’all need to upload these videos in HD. At the least 1080p. 4k would be awesome. They are just too good and if you want to be the best you need to offer the best quality.
We need the JP poll!
I'm in!!!
The only teams with a worst pass defense than LSU last year: ULM and Akron. I don't see that getting fixed over night, particularly not by a DC who's never called plays before.
He actually was a dc before he went to the nfl. And was very dominant during his time as a dc. Come back to this at the end of the season
If you’re gonna talk negatively at least put effort into knowing who you are talkin about
The linebackers coach they hired has play calling experience🤷🏻♂️ and that kindof don’t mean shit as long as they change scheme as needed , I don’t expect someone like you to understand this but the main reason pelini 4-3 didn’t work was bc he rarely switched it up based on how the opposing offense was going…the kids hated him…and almost every player on that pelini defense was freshman🤷🏻♂️ the 4-3 still works otherwise NFL teams and college teams wouldn’t still be using it , but your pretty stupid if you don’t think coach O isn’t way ahead of you🤦🏻♂️ they got major burns from Georgia, and Mike Jones from Clemson ….and they brought in darante Jones🤷🏻♂️ you wanna know how all of these are connected? Bc darante jones coached the secondary from Minnesota which utilized a 4-2-5 nickel defense….and Georgia and Clemson are both 2 of the very few teams that utilize a DOMINANT 4-2-5 nickel defense..obviously they want a 2018-2020 Clemson/Georgia defense…those defenses have been known to be called bullies…they have Derek Stingley which is the best CB in the country, and Eli Ricks which seems to be just as good , TWO all American, experienced cornerbacks. Jay ward at safety , sage ryan , which was suppost to be the number two in the country , and major burns, etc etc, and they have an experienced linebacker core, the spring game defense looked pretty good to me even if it was “Just a spring game” I haven’t even brought up that D-line , you have I think the number one pass rusher in the country in mason smith. And the rest of that D-line are all veterans…they bring in an NFL D-line coach to coach the D-line…..that defense will probably be one of the best next season I can guarantee you that , save this comment and hold me to it , I know what I’m talking about
That DC was a secondary coach in the NFL. Nonetheless, genius, LSU has two preseason first team All-Americans starting at CB. In fact, no other team in the country will have a better secondary than LSU.
As the problem in 2020 was Bo Pelini, who was forced on Ed O last year. He's gone. Meanwhile, in the spring game Daronte Jones had the defensive backs doing some NFL next level stuff on the back end that caused TJ Finley to throw two interceptions and true freshmen Garrett Nussmeier to throw three interceptions.
Last year was a season of miscues. That problem was eliminate immediately right after the end of the season when Ed O fired Bo Pelini.
I'll bet Nick Saban is thinking about Lane as a possible spoiler every year.
Big Ok state fan and big josh fan!!
I think it’s fair that LSU is a pick but if that rape case is blown open and guys are guilty, LSU might stumble a bit with the off field stuff. Ole Miss to me, is more of an eliminator than a playoff team. It feels like they can eliminate other SEC teams playoff chances but can’t make the playoffs themselves. It feels like Lane can win big games but lose small ones. Oklahoma is a solid pick too, they have a lot of starters returning. I think Clemson bounces back too, Dabo recruited some O-linemen in the off season. I can see Dabo scoring Arch Manning in the future also. I can’t remember if the playoffs are extended this year or not but if they are, Cincinnati might play well enough to make it. These are totally guesses though, they could be completely wrong.
I agree with all this except Clemson. I have to see how they respond to getting their teeth punched out from Ohio State. That could have a residual effect.
@@danielmoore411 that is totally fair sir. Especially with a Venables defense that got exposed in their last game. It’s interesting to think, even if they fix their quarterback protection, there’s so much tape on their defense getting rocked in their last game that whatever they fixed offensively won’t matter if their defense is giving up close to 50 points and 600 yards a game. It wasn’t that their defense was bad either, it’s that the Achilles heel was spotted. I’ve never seen that defense get exploited like that. Ryan Day is a smart dude.
@@stevenstover5994 He's a Georgia fan take his arguments with a grain of salt, for obvious reasons.
@@davidv8285 your feelings are important.
Good piece
Ole Miss is Schrodinger's cat. They're alive or dead. You'll have to open the box first. Ole Miss is the most dynamic sleeper, bar none.
Meanwhile; ROLL TIDE
That is twice today I have heard Schrodingers Cat. Freaky
Not without a defense.
I think Wisconsin, Indiana, and BC can all be surprisingly good.
I would say WV can upset teams in Big 12 but a couple SEC teams came in and recruited and paid some great DB's to leave.
Having a top 60 defense is not enough for Ole Miss. We've seen past Alabama teams with better offenses and a top 30 defense not be able to get the job done due to the offense scoring too frequently putting the defense back on the field far too often. The biggest decisive factor on if Ole Miss is a dangerous team this year is if their defense can be a top 10 team in terms of forcing turnovers. A top 60 defense with average turnover numbers won't get the job done, but if they turn into a ball-hawking defense, then you have a great team.
Coastal Carolina is gonna be a team to watch this year
Florida
Miami
Texas
Would be in that mix too.
LSU could win the National Championship this year, it is mostly on the QB which could be Max or Myles, our improved defense with 8 turnovers in the last two games played. One of those games was against 34 point favored # 6 rated Florida which played Bama for the SEC Championship after LSU beat them. Curious to see how Bama’s QB starts out, considering Bama usually has the #1 ranked signing class for 8 years in a row, with one exception, Bama should be, well you have got to dethrone the Champ before you can claim the title. A&M is starting a new QB, but strong and tested at other positions. Ole MS. I would not overlook them as Lane Kiffin is a very smart coach and like Saban, Lane hates to lose, remember last year they played LSU hard and pretty much to the wire with Ole MS”s two star receivers sitting out of the game. They gave Bama a run until the 4th quarter. Mullen if he would quit acting like a immature indecisive moron, he could get the respect from other teams like he did at MS. St by developing his players, especially at the QB position. With the multiple 5 ⭐️talent that the state of Florida produces year in and out, if Mullen buckles down the Gators should always be in contention. Auburn isn’t ready yet but it will be interesting to see if the two LSU ( at one time) starting transfers make a impact. Arik Gilbert should if he gets around his probation low grade point average. TJ left too early and should have stayed and battled it out with more effort instead of transferring, his only hope is if Bo gets injured and can’t play because he will not dethrone the son of a living Auburn Legend. LSU does have a schedule for the first time in years that should allow them to improve weekly with every game played, throw in the playoff expansion and if they give 100% and stay focused they will be in the Championship. Bama, with Saban’s new contract he could buy a Elon Musk ticket to the moon and call the game from there setting another new record and win the Natty. The only thing that is impossible with Saban is loosing two games in a row. It should be a great year with a lot of wild and crazy fans after most being on lockdown last year. Who let the Dogs out ? We will see, they are always barking, some day they will take a bite out of the Natty Trophy. Until then, good luck everybody. These are not the stations opinions, I assume full responsibility. LOL 😂
I doubt that frail little person they have playing QB will make it very long before getting knocked out for the season and when that inevitably happens, Alabama will become a very average team.
@@purplegold8447 Bama will start more 5 star players this year than they ever have in Saban’s entire history of coaching. Their third string is not even an average team. Bama is ranked #1 in all the poles this year, LSU is ranked #52 which is shocking to me.
Indiana
This guy is great....horrible predictions, but great
I’m a Buckeye, but I’m kinda excited for Washington and other PAC teams to git gud and wreck house those year.
Totally disagree with LSU take. I don't think they are a dangerous team at all, actually a team that is trending downwards tremendously. While the rest of the SEC West seems to be getting it together, (we know how you feel about A&M, Auburn with year 3 QB in Nix, Ole Miss offense, and Miss St can't be any worse). LSU has scandals, poor coaching, and a locker room with players seeming to be more interested in playing for themselves and fame then coming together as a team. Their defense is a MASSIVE question mark (can't trust a word coach O says about it going into the season) and their offense is too (no I don't believe in either QB). They will end up losing 5 games this year, worst case scenario more.
This aint it chief
@@joshuasanford6934 he clearly doesn’t know a thing about what’s going inside the program aside from the “scandal”, you just chose the easier way of saying you haven’t been following them and you’re a hater 🤷🏾😌

Oklahoma Sooners
I'm picking Ole Miss to only lose to LSU and Bama and go to a NY6 bowl.
LOL
Everybody’s talking about Cincinnati and Coastal Carolina as the top G5 teams but I think Louisiana and Liberty could be just as good, they both went 10-1 last year and they both return basically everyone, I won’t be shocked if Louisiana beats Texas week 1 like they did with Iowa State last year, Liberty will likely go into Oxford undefeated so look out there as well
100% agree on LSU. However, Washington is a playoff contender? Going to wreck a playoff team, Oregon? Oregon has to get by OSU in Columbus. Ain’t going to happen. I would go with a Big10 team like Wisconsin or PSU over Washington. They have a better chance of wrecking a perennial playoff team like OSU. Ole Miss is a dangerous team with their offense.
Yeah ole miss is going to be tough for A&M to win in Oxford. Had to make that my road trip this year
That's because A&M's offense will inevitably suck.
LSU won’t do anything and neither will ole miss
Sam Pitman will be at Arkansas long after Leach & Kiffin are at their MS schools. He a professional that understands the fundamentals of the game, not a sideshow, press conference glitter bug.
Ole Miss is my pick of most dangerous team. Just because Lane is a great Coach and gets his team fired up and ready to play...
Ole Miss without a defense isn't dangerous to any teams unless those teams have a piss poor offense .
add to that that Lane cheats.
It is called coaching and that is why you say there is something to prove. Top 5 talent aside and why they are disappointing year after year, so 7-5 with a cupcake schedule.
Ole miss would need to stop high powered offenses . Average might not be enough but enough to make a lot of noise
Any playoff "contender" that schedules fcs teams should not be playing for a national championship. Shots fired at the "mighty" sec
They would need to be better than 2019 LSU defense
Given the lack of playing time for their QB, I would say the coaching staff's cheeks are gonna be clamped a bit tight when Alabama plays A & M and Florida if they can get penetration mA&M, Florida ... Auburn scares me when they at home even when unranked
There are teams with weak schedules that will get high rankings Coastal Carolina, UCF and Cincinnati that will have a high W/L ratio but can not beat a Top 10 team and I have my doubts on the Top 20

Josh give me some South Carolina stuff please sir.
Buckeyes will be the most feared team to played this year. The headline will be every week "You lost by how much to #6 and their coach is not even ranked. What is wrong with you?" LOL
The 1st two questions you have to ask about a team that can surprise is 1) Who is the QB? 2) What offensive system are they running?
I have no idea who UW's QB is (Garbers?), they aren't dangerous to me, they can't score at an elite enough pace.
Its Dylan Morris the same QB who started last year. He's beat out Sam Huard the number 1 pro style QB this year. The reason Washington is dangerous isn't the offense. Its that they have a top 5 defense and now they have a top 5 offensive line in the country as well as the biggest Oline. The only downside to the team isn't even QB play it's going be to be the recievers. Outside of maybe the best TE in college Washington's wr group is an unknown at this point yet from what I've seen so far they're going to be a hard nosed grind it out group. And scheme wise Washington is solid. They don't have to worry about shootouts because the offense is a true pro style offense of holding the ball and working the clock to your favor. Combine that with likely the best DB group outside of Bama and you're not going to be putting up points very easily against them. You also have to remember this isn't about being dangerous and making the playoffs this is based on them ruining teams chances at the playoffs or casting doubt on teams that could make it.
@@Runescapewithred I appreciate that info. My only caveat would be if you're talking about who they can keep out of the playoffs, I would say nobody because no one in the PAC-12 is a contender because they don't get in the playoffs. If Oregon can somehow figure out how to beat OSU, and then UW beats them, then you might have a point there. USC maybe figures it out this year and UW can play spoiler, but SC hasn't shown that they are any better than a 9-3, 8-4 team in recent years anyway so they aren't really playoff contenders.
@@goingyard06 Yeah, week 2 is the big decider of the PAC 12 playoff chances. Washington has a much better chance of beating Michigan than Oregon does OSU. I don't truly see SC as a threat anymore until they price otherwise. I see Stanford ASU and Oregon giving Washington major problems and the dark horse of the PAC is Oregon State. Oregon State, Utah Washington are really the only threats in conference for Oregon. Either team would have to go undefeated to make the playoffs. Although there may be a PAC 12 march madness effect where we saw the PAC run the tournament outside of Baylor and Gonzaga. There may just be a in conference beatdown where they can't really do much outside of it. I'd like to see what they could do with some rest and prep for the playoffs. The teams are much bigger and just as athletic as they were in the past where they just got mauled come postseason play. It's strange to see that Washington actually has the biggest offensive line in the country whereas they got manhandled at the point of attack by Bama not too long ago
@@Runescapewithred Even if UW beats Michigan, to me, that is not really saying much and moving the playoff needle. It's the equivalent of a win over Auburn to me. It sounds good because the have cache, but once you get past the name, they just aren't that good.
I see the PAC-12 getting squeezed out of the playoffs again unless Oregon runs the table. I look at it like this, there's one playoff spot available every year because Clemson, Bama, and OSU are gonna be in because they largely go unchallenged every year in conference except for Bama. This year might be the exception because they're all replacing QBs. The PAC-12 keeps beating up on each other every season and take themselves out the mix. On the road in the PAC-12 is easily the toughest slate in all of college football because there's like six teams of the same quality.
They may have the size, but that doesn't mean that they have skill and have been coached up.
@@goingyard06 Oh trust me I don't think Michigan is a good win either. But I think the same could be said for a lot of schools that play in other conferences. I think it's mostly just name value to many of them. Just looking at the top 25 like Texas, Miami, USC, etc. The only reason they're actually there is the name. But that's the PACs biggest problem is that they don't schedule enough out of conference big names to get the national recognition. A win for UW doesn't mean they're good, but it gets eyes on them. Just like an Oregon win over OSU puts them straight into the top 4 for the season unless they drop a couple games.
Wow, you really missed on Washington and LSU. Washington lost to Montana. That is not good. Can't imagine why you thought things would change at LSU. They had ugly loss at UCLA. Coach O is vastly overrated.
Lsu is expected to be good. Ole miss is the biggest threat to everybody

Unc??
I agree about LSU. They would love nothing better than to beat Bama! They won't. RTR🏈
Ehhhh….IDK Josh. I know LSU made you look like a million bucks in 2019, but that well might be dry for you in 2021. The Coach O train really derailed in 2020, and it wasn’t just Covid. Maybe he can galvanize the lockerroom again, but he’s equally as likely to fall on his behind and go 8-5 🤷🏻♂️.
Ed O didn't have anything to do with the derailment, moonbat. You're right it wasn't all because of Covid, but nonetheless Covid did have a lot to do with it. In fact, when your four top returning starters from the 2019 team opt out before the start of the season, then you can't deny the effect Covid had.
Not to mention that even though the football team consisted of virtually all brand new freshmen and sophomore starters, because of Covid the coaching staff could not completely develop and prepare those brand new starters before the start of the season.
Then add to that that your senior starting QB got hurt and was out for the season with seven games remaining on the schedule. Which meant that two true freshmen QBs who barely had any reps because of Covid to transition from high school football to the SEC had to start for the remaining seven games.
Then add to that Terrace Marshall and Arik Gilbert both opted out in he middle of the season.
Yet, none of those above mentioned problems were nearly as problematic as Bo Pelini, who hadn't coached a defense since 2007 and who was totally unprepared for today's modern spread offenses, being hired as the DC by AD Scott Woodward and against the wishes of Ed O.
As Bo Pelini was by far the greatest problem LSU had last season. As in most of the games LSU's offense played well enough to win, but the defense would have so many unforced miscues that it was impossible to win.
No way, LSU goes 8 & 5 in 2021. As Ed O, unlike Kirby Smart, doesn't have a history of always choking in the big games.
@@purplegold8447 Clock has struck midnight Cinderella. Time to hop back into your pumpkin.
@@danielmoore411 I can't wait to watch Kirby, who has the fabulous track record as being the biggest choker in SEC history, to inevitably again.
@@purplegold8447 And to add on.....Georgia Mutts have the easier road in winning the East opposed to Florida....who plays both Bama and us(LSU)......so it's gonnabe embarrassing if Georgia chokes again. LOL
LSU is at BAMA this year. I don't think they can win that but if they pull that off, they only have Texas A&M to worry about. They should be able to handle everyone else on that schedule.
it would be a mistake to overlook Florida?
They all said the same thing 2 years ago when LSU curb stomped Bama in their house.....the final score in the end is a bit misleading making it as if it was a close game....which it wasn't.
Cant wait for you guys to come to Lexington. A good measuring stick game for us.

ARKANSAS WILL NEED TO GET BACK IN THAT POSITION IN THE SEC, BUT DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE CONFERENCE AND IT BEING a split conference it is almost impossible to find that position for spoiler for anybody... Pittman has a good chance to find that spot ....I can remember when Tennessee had that position with the old SEC CONFERENCE BUT LIKE ARKANSAS TENNESSEE HAS BEEN IRRELEVANT IN THE SEC FLR THE PAST GENERATION 20 YEARS...
Indiana is a good pick. They are Hungry
Kansas State if they stay healthy watch out!
Oops. Christ, this didn’t age well at all.
UNC!!
In careful consideration In the ACC And you can call me crazy It is just a though I think Boston college can ruin someone's chances
Just sou ds like people are praying g for bama to drop a game this year
With how loaded the SEC west is and how inexperienced Alabama is they probably will lose a game, they’re still probably a playoff team but I could easily see them losing to an Ole Miss or Texas A&M
@@rmichels05 idk man, bama has all but two starters from last years defense returning, and they have REALLY Good depth behind them. On offense the receivers most likely to start all have been in big games last year and know the system, not to mention the diverse skillsets they have, as multiple guys are above 6ft 2in, multiple guys run 4.4 or better and multiple guys are elite route runners, and there all good enough to get real snaps on game day, I would say they are neck and neck with OSU for the best WR room in the country. RB room is full of former 5 stars and the RBs are experienced. Both starting TEs are really good.
my only concern is how the QB and OL will preform together. B. Young is elusive and has elite arm talent but is relatively short, and the OL has experience and talent but have never played together and TEs are good blockers but not players to leave on an island vs. an edge rusher. as long as B. Young can make the right calls and take care of the ball they should be fine.
excuse any grammar mistakes and typos
Huskies
I like how everything is basically based around who out there is capable of beating Alabama. Who has the glimmer of hope of making a miracle happen Vivaldi's team's he speaks up. Talk about teams that can f****** other people's chances. Alabama should have been in almost every one of his conversations. I say almost because I didn't even finish watching. It's always the same s*** every year. Who has the best chance of beating Alabama is winning a national championship. Same old s*** different year
Lost their quarterback today, Brennan
Auburn will not be a tune-up LOL that's funny they had a better roster last year and we blow them out
I hope Arkansas beats Ole Miss again
Washington is favored over Michigan, AT Michigan???
Wow, how the mighty have fallen.
I mean Washington is one of the premier programs out west. Probably historically the most successful college football program west of the Rocky Mountains after USC. I know Oregon has been THE program out west for quite a while now but until Oregon actually wins something of note like you know... a national championship, USC and Washington will always be the top dogs. And Washington has been run well as a program ever since Steve Sarkisian rebuilt it from the ground up in the early 2010s.
@@davidv8285
Ancient history doesn't count...Oregon has played for the National Championship twice in the last ten years and has beaten Washington 13 out of the past 15 years. It's been total domination and now Cristobal is recruiting elite linemen.
@@Chatta-Ortega Oregon is also 2-2 against Washington in the last 5 years. And Washington is 3-2 against Oregon when it comes to division titles so technically Washington has slightly dominated the rivalry in the last 5 years. If anyone is talking about history it is you. Oregon has dominated Washington in the 2000s and early 2010s but now the odds have evened and the programs are essentially stuck in a standstill. You wanna know why? Like Oregon, Washington has been hiring quality coaches to run the program ever since Sark.
@@davidv8285
Wrong.......you can't spin 2-13 vs the Ducks over the last 15 years. Only a delusional Husky honk can try, but it's comical. 2-14 is just a few months away.
FSU BACK ON THE COME UP!!!
Wish y’all the best as an Aggie fan👍
You crazy...come where?👀😂😂😂
Nobody cares about the weak ass ACC.
@@benjaminprewitt4281 You should after Jimbo Fisher left their football program in shambles
sorry but the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE is the MOST DANGEROUS TEAM THIS YEAR AND PS WE GOING TO WIN ANOTHER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR MAKING IT BACK TO BACK AGAIN
Kentucky is beating lsu book it!
UGA 15 - 0
Put down the crack pipe and do we have to tell the most delusional fan base in all of college football the same damn thing every freaking year?
@@purplegold8447 your comment won't age well
@@purplegold8447 SHUT UP LITTLE GIRL
im ohio state all day and ill put my money on ttun against Washington
Ole Miss is gonna beat everybody but still lose to Arkansas
I can't wait for the upcoming season. The Big Ten figures to be the best conference again.
When were they the best conference
@@RT22-pb2pp
When haven't they?
Best fans, best rivalry (in all of sports), best stadiums.
@@philadelphiaeagles834 sec rules college football and we have great stadiums and fans also. Football in the south is 365 days a yr, sorry you lose again lol
@@RT22-pb2pp
Not even close. The SEC is Alabama and that's it.
The Big Ten is the home of the top rivalry in all of sports.
Yankees vs Red Sox, Duke vs UNC, Oklahoma vs Texas, Philadelphia vs Dallas.... don't even come close to Ohio State vs Michigan.
@@philadelphiaeagles834 really how many national titles have all those great teams won say last 20 to 25 yrs? Sec has 4 different teams to win titles bama lsu auburn florida. Sec killed in bowl games. Fact is 5 sec teams ranked in top 15 yrs end last yr. How many from your conference. Bama is football right now and every team looks bad by comparison not just sec, look at how the curb stomped osu in title game, florida played us better and closer, texas a and m scored same as osu lol
Miami? You mean the U or is it Miami, Ohio? Time has passed the Hurricanes by they will surely lose to Clemson and UNC and count them to blow another game to one of the lesser ACC opponents. Miami will be held back by their amateur coaching staff. A bottom top 25 finish is optimistic for this years canes.
All these teams will suck this year smh
I'm not a fan of Lane Kiffin but I've been arguing with my buddies since he went to Ole Miss that he'll be the first Saban assistant to beat him.
Agreed!
Might as well throw out any team that schedules 4 cupcakes games like LSU does
Turkey with cupcake for desert
ucla in the rose bowl isnt a cupcake 😂
@@mattdukes52 I agree just talking to the hater
i was talking to the hater too lol
Literally the only cupcake games are Mcneese and Central Michigan. Any other team can beat LSU if they fuck around and don’t come with their A game
Ole Miss cuz Lane Kiffin good. Wisconsin cuz that QB when consistent is really good. Penn State cuz healthy RB room, and thats the only reason they had a bad season last year. Arizona State will surprise if Herm Edwards is still there, even though he shouldn't be fired for it. Lot say LSU, I disagree. I don't think O is a very good coach. He's a great recruiter, so talent wise, LSU is one of the best.
Wisconsin no way yes QB been good/great against mediocre teams and they still need rbs average at best so was offensive linemen play and that was against medicore to average teams at best. Same for Penn state but I do like coach Franklin and they have same problem QB rb and offense linemen play is medicore against good teams but below average at best against elite to great teams. I do remember Franklin saying WE are not elite yet they need to prove it against elite teams and not just mediocre teams like last year when they only won against terrible to mediocre teams
Coach O was good enough to win a national championship less than 2 years ago, yet you say he’s not that good of a coach !!!
Throw the 2020 season out the window, they lost 38 total players off of their 2019 team. They had a new defensive coordinator, who actually changed the defensive system from what they used in the 2019 season. Now what makes that a huge issue, is the simple fact that they didn’t have any spring or early fall preseason practice time before the season started to amount to anything !!
They literally dressed injured players who were never gonna play in the game because of those injuries, just to where they could meet the 53 available scholarship players rule to be able to play a game !!!
Don’t forget about him losing his starting QB after only a couple of games into the season as well. That left him with only two true freshman QB’s.
There’s a real reason as to why the 2020 season doesn’t count towards a players eligibility !!!
Since the 2016 - 2019 seasons, nobody has played & beat more top 10 ranked teams than what Ed Oregron & LSU has !!
2018 - 2019 seasons combined.
Overall win / loss record over those 2 seasons.

We know that Clemson & Alabama played against each other in the 2018 CFP mythical FBS football national championship game. We know that LSU & Clemson played against each other in the 2019 CFP mythical FBS football national championship game. That’s the reason for the 2018 & 2019 seasons being used for this comparison !!
Who had the harder road to go down to reach the CFP mythical FBS football national championship game among those 3 teams ???
Yep, it was by far LSU, right ??
Oregron must be doing something right !!!
His 2021 roster is made up with basically the same percentage of 4 & 5 star players, as what his 2019 roster was !!!
LSU is a better team than what all of those other teams are that he mentioned, that much isn’t even debatable !!!
Yet even still, LSU being a good team honestly won’t be a surprise to anyone that knows what their real numbers are !!!

@@bigbossman3987 thank for the information well LSU should be the number one place to go instead of Alabama Clemson Ohio state and Georgia?
Highly disagree with you on saying that Coach O is not good of a coach. @ this point I'm convinced that ppl are willfully ignorant to Coach O's resume as an assistant coach prior to being hired by Ole Piss. 😑
TCU is a career 9-3 team. Never really won anything. I wouldn't worry about them.
They are not even that good.
@@purplegold8447 that's Patterson's life time record in twenty years as HC. Most of his wins was when they were in other conferences.

I just hope Alabama loses to Florida and Ole Miss this year!
Keep hope alive but do not bet.money.on it.
Imagine your team being so bad that instead of hoping they win you are hoping another team loses 😂😂😂
@@RT22-pb2pp Actually I would seriously advise that if anyone wants to bet for the underdog, it should be in those two games. Alabama will be a favorite in the Vegas spread that is all but guaranteed but they are vulnerable and both Florida and Ole Miss play them at opportune times. They both play Bama very early on in the season when Bryce Young might still be getting used to the system and the offense in general will have rust.
Florida especially has big advantages because Florida itself has a lot of turnover and the fact that they play Bama in Week 3 in the Swamp is great because both teams offenses will have not clicked together by then, but only one team has a massive homefield advantage, and that is Florida. Not to mention that Florida actually returns more offensive production than Bama, and they have Mullen, who might just be the best play caller in the country.
Ole Miss has the offensive advantage period because they return a veteran and highly talented quarterback, have an elite offensive play caller in Kiffin, whereas Bama is replacing everybody (players and staff) and I feel like Kiffin hates Saban's guts and so always expect Ole Miss to play their best game against Bama.
@@savagesouth1806 team so bad? Tf you talking bout lil boy Florida played Bama the best of anyone last year. Tf
@@davidv8285 hell yeah good analysis. Those are gonna be games of the year watch. I’m calling it. You’re right about Florida though home field advantage can rock a freshman QB look at Bo Nix in the swamp perfect example.
LSU there’s no way!!!
Prepare to be disappointed.
i dont think it will happen but its possible take a peak at the roster its loaded
