Ole Miss had good offenses because of scheme. The At good outweighed by the talent AND scheme of Bama and Georgia. Now they have more talent at their disposal with guys coming back.

Utah is more likely to finish with more wins. OU has to play Tulane( one of the best G5 teams), ole miss, LSU, Missouri, and Alabama. All teams that are going to be ranked preseason 25. And on top of that they have to play at auburn which is a very underrated place to play. And then Tennessee who could be sneaky good this season. They also have to play Texas

OU's breaking in a new QB, new o-line, and new coordinators - that ranking isn't surprising

FYI 😂 for the season 2024 zero games have been played. 😮

I agree with the list. I think bama will be great this year but I do have doubt in kalen all is good when you can coach great. but from the history of it. The man has stepped into programs. Not built them. Or maintained them. he left too early too many times for this. He can coach great with talent. So i expect this year to be great for bama. But he doesn’t and hasn’t ever recruited well. Transfer well. None of that. So unless all of a sudden he becomes a Kirby or Ryan level Recruiter then he won’t be competitive for long. he was competing well last year at Washington bc they’re entire roster was 5th and 6th years which physical maturity and experience plays a massive factor in football. I think OSU and GA are obviously the teams to beat. the off season for OSU was insane the two best running backs in the nation on the same team. A great offensive guru just being able to run just the offense. great returning talent and defense. And Georgia being Georgia once again. And teams like Texas and oregon are building their foundation of being perennial contenders. I still think oregon and Texas lack the sheer man power and depth in the manner GA does and osu does now along side elite coaching staff front to back like those two. but I’ll be very excited if those two teams take the next step

Seriously? No OU Tennessee or LSU? instead you choose Notre Dame, Penn St, and Utah? Joke City

I think FSU & Michigan will end up with disappointing seasons and will miss the playoffs. Michigan 3 losses, Texas, Ohio St, & Oregon. FSU 2-3 losses. Miami & Clemson, maybe Florida.

I don’t believe that Georgia will be as good as people say. Actually most that I’ve listened to have Georgia in their top 5, but not the way JD and a few others do. Some said the same things last year about Georgia, and they nearly lost a couple games that they were not supposed to even be close, then they got exposed by Alabama. This is not a Georgia and everyone else scenario. Georgia is top 6 or 8. I’ve got Ohio state, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Maybe Alabama, give or take Penn State and Utah. The top 4 are interchangeable. Georgia might be number one but I am not sold on that. I don’t think most people are!
