Talking disrespect? You don't even mention Alabama? I would put our rb room up against ones you mentioned. And our QB room? Yeah Milroe is our hope for natty but Ty Simpson is ready. Our OLine is improved. We have a great receiving group. And a hungry defense. Plus we have a team who feel the respect and Kalen DeBoer has an offensive mind like Sark. You disrespected Alabama. Thank you!

Michigan DC said they have 9-10 NFL players on defense. Watch out. Just need offense to be serviceable. Run game should take care of that. 3 straight big 10 titles. Michigan lost players 2 years ago too. They lost Aiden Hutchison, Ojabo, their QB, Mazi Smith. The culture at Michigan will be in play this season again. A few bouncing balls and they’re holding the big 10 title again.

Going to be a lot of surprised fans out there when Michigan doesn't "take a step back" like all these "experts" are predicting. The ignorant comments I see about "returning production" make me shake my head every time I see them. It's crazy how many people just parrot nonsense they hear from any source that sounds good.

"There's no way Michigan's defense gets better after Hutch and Ojabo. I see them taking a step back in 2023." We heard the same junk before the start of last year, too. The Michigan disrespect is real. But I'm fine with it. It's enjoyable hearing the haters cry about any and every little thing that Michigan has accomplished.

​@CertifiedClapaholic you have to account if mich still have success this year it will be cause those players especially on defense are Harbaugh's and the former staff. The real test is Moore when he gets his recruits in can he still maintain it.

The Florida conundrum is real. Looking at their schedule, and what they did last year, it seems pretty obvious to me that with continuity and some improvements (any improvements) defensively this is a bowl bound team. The Miami game is a toss-up, but if they win or play competitively, there's nobody until Tennessee that has as much raw talent and continuity as Miami does. A&M has the talent, but we don't know what they're going to look like on the field. Say they split A&M/Miami games, they're heading into the enigma of Kentucky/Tennessee with 1 loss. I don't think any of the three fan bases involved in those two games can explain why Florida can always beat Tennessee, but Kentucky can then always beat Florida. One or both of those things are gonna change, and it's easy to see this Florida team stealing both games, but split it. 5-2 heading into the back stretch is exactly where they were last season (replace Miami with Utah). Of that season ending 5 game losing streak they face 2 pretty much consensus top 5 defenses in Georgia and FSU, lost to Mizzou and Arkansas by a combined 5 points, and got steamrolled by, well let's say Jayden Daniels and not LSU. LSU the team wasn't beating a lot of teams last year, defense gave up 28ppg and if you remove Grambling, Army, and Georgia St which you should, it was closer to 34ppg. That's a hard carry, and without him I'm not really sure why LSU is...that's besides the point besides the point. Point is Florida was one win away from bowl eligibility last year, they were 5 points away from a 7 win season and having a much different national outlook on their expectations this year. It's probably a good bet they do get to at least that this year.

Utah and West Virginia on my List

I know Texas is going to be good. But there’s usually one or two teams every season that doesn’t live up to the offseason hype (just as there’s usually one or two teams that exceed expectations). But my gut tells me that this year’s team to not live up to the hype is Texas. Great HC, QB, OL. But they lost their two best WRs and two of the DL dudes. I also think their DBs will be a liability. So I don’t think Texas will live up to the hype. With that said…that really just means that they probably still win 10 games and makes the CFP. But some are picking them to win it all, and I’m not sure they will do that in 2024. Of course I could be completely wrong. We’ll see.

Do you seriously see a ten-win team getting the five seed? You just hyped up Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon and Texas. I don't think Georgia will be in the top six seeds with regular season losses to Alabama and Texas and without winning the SEC. 12-1 got them the sixth spot in the rankings last year.

@rcmtv8352

10 күн бұрын

I think this year they are most likely going to put the loser of the SEC or B10 championship in the 5 spot instead of whoever is the 5th best team in the country because the bracket doesn’t work the same as nfl. The 1 seed doesn’t play the lowest ranked team after their bye, they just play whoever is one their side of the bracket. Putting a 10 win conference champ loser in the 5 balances it out

@philkarlandted5460

@@rcmtv8352 this requires several things: 1. The ten-win team must make the conference championship game despite two losses (which in this scenario are both conference losses and head-to-head losses against strong conference championship contenders.) 2. The other conference cannot have an 11- win runner up. 3. The 10-3 team cannot fall behind a 10-2 team. If you want the scenario without the conference championship game, you need someone else to make it with two losses. The second requirement still applies, and you are on the other side of the third (which could be more difficult in this scenario with head-to-head.)

Does it truly make ttun fans feel Better saying "we never recruit, we just develope"? Especially knowing you havent Been developing. Damn near half of your roster was grad transfers last year. Which means they were developed everywhere But at ttun. Honestly, ttun just went out of the way to cheat, which made some of their players and staff look a little Better than they truly were. Im anxious to see your developement now..

Half the roster were transfers? Must not teach Math at OSU 😂. As he said “put some respect on their name” or not and lose for the fourth time in a year. Every year Buckeyes rated higher just like this year and get crushed by your National Champions.

All this talk about SEC teams. Ole Miss have never been good consistently, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Texas A&M, Auburn, Florida had a run but they've been trashed the last couple of years let's be honest! Mississippi State, Arkansas last time they were good Darren McFadden was on the team, South Carolina last time they were good was when Jadavion clowney was on the team and he still didn't win the championship.. And last but not least Tennessee, they had one good year and that was it!A top ACC or top Big 12 team, can easily whoop the rest of the SEC teams. Quit throwing this narrative out there along with Josh Pate cause you guys have and are running the same dialogue!

4-8 and 5-7 for Gators lose Ricky and get two other receivers Florida got better but there schedule got better point blank Miami will be the toughest Miami team in 20 years and central Florida is as good as Florida but the game means more to UCF the gators got killed the last time they went to Tennessee and Texas a&m will be hungry and well coached I can see that as a loss Kentucky is finna beat Florida again so if I am right that’s 2-5 to start the season now stamp this and we will see who was right
