@jwsstudios4697 USC has a very competitive record against BIG 10, SEC and BIG 12 teams !! To show the bias toward USC , go back to the 2016 52-16 smack down of USC by Alabama; it was all about the humiliation USC put on Alabama back in the 1970s , not about modern history!!! Fanatical sports fans, alumnus big money boosters and former students who graduated from Alabama and SEC schools infuse their bias in sporting news and other media, ignoring that virtually half of their conference are lucky to reach .500 every damn year…

ESPN is a total and complete dumpster 🔥!!!

Ugh what a joke is right! Lord. 😮

WINNING FIXES EVERYTHING FIGHT ON!!!!!!

How is Ryan Day is at 10 that’s crazy. Kalen hasn’t coached at Alabama yet SO WHY IS HE A 2!!!!. ESPN hates the Big 10. Brian Kelly should be in the top 10 too.

ESPN is beholden to the SEC So don’t worry about it

ESPN is such a joke. Old Kirk Herbstreet loves this list I’m sure. 😂😂

People gotta remember that this country hates when USC is on top. Learn to love it folks! Learn to laugh it off and give them a Fight On! The better we get, the nastier they are. Last weekend I legit had to hear a Notre Dame fan drunkenly tell me SC had a garbage offense last year. It's insane people. As far as network sports coverage, credit to Joel Klatt for always giving us (and every other team) credit where credit is due.

They need to release who voted and what their votes were

Lincoln’s resume speaks for itself. 3 time conference champion 3 playoff appearances .804 winning percentage fourth highest in all of D1 3 heisman winners/first overall picks. One season under 10 wins being last year. Not 6 coaches with a better resume

Gabe. Great reporting. ESPN is so woke. It is a crumbling empire. Use this on the locker room board.

Lincoln's problem, he coaches at USC. If he still coached at Oklahoma and had the same year he had last year at ou, he would be ranked. He just has to kick some ass this year and make them(espn) eat their words.

ESPN literally stands for Eastern Sports Promotional Network. I stopped listening to them in 2018

this is like when Billboard or Spotify do their top 100 whatever of all time

Absolutely agree, but not just ESPN, check out CBS sportline, they mention every other team who signs a 4 star LB or DL but when USC signs one there is just crickets. Is it jealousy??

Please tell me these rankings are a late April fools joke. ESPN always has the worst rankings. Unrelated but how does Notre Dame always end up so highly ranked in their preseason polls. I'm surprised they didn't put Freeman up their knowing how much they love ND, even though ND has done nothing big in 30 years.

@@aroncampos5720 yes they are good, but they never win the big time games, and I know USC has trouble with winning big games, but they aren't being over-hyped like ND is. It's kind of funny how Louisville beat ND pretty badly and then USC plays Louisville in a bowl game without 25 of USC starters playing yet USC beats Louisville by 14, but USC with their starters lost to ND by 28. College football is funny. Anyways, what I'm saying is that ND is way over-hyped, not that they suck, but that they shouldn't be ranked preseason top 5 or 10, which ESPN put them at 5th, when they should be around 14th.

Amazing how butthurt people get over something so small.

Lincoln will not lead to the promised land

Flaming Lanning/oregon for not beating Washington is outrageous due to the fact the only team that beat them was Michigan in the Natty. You better hold sark to the same standard as Lanning bc deboer is undefeated against both. ALSO Oregon was one of the youngest power 5 programs last year for football. Washington had 26 seniors/super seniors on their team. They had way more experience. Lanning also changed the whole culture of Oregon. They don’t play soft football anymore, They actually play defense. They play good on both sides of the ball and it’s only going to get better.

What is corrupt about espn? They’re a for profit American corporation. What laws have they violated that would imply corruption? It’s a media company. They want clicks. We all clicked on it.

Thanks for the content. But who really cares. They don't play.

First, I respect all of the coaches mentioned here. But apparently they have very short memories at ESPN. This is very much a "what have you done for me lately" type of list. Norvell in the top 10 is a good illustration. Great season last year (other than the bowl game), and a good season the year before. Before that, three lousy seasons. Sark too. Before last year, I would imagine Sark's teams had to be viewed as big disappointments by Texas fans. To me, Ryan Day at 10 is absurd. Whittingham at 3 is ludicrous. Leipold over Riley, and frankly Brian Kelly is stupidity. And I love how someone actually voted for the Tulane head coach. He hasn't coached a single game at Tulane yet! And he'd only been a head coach for two years at Troy before that. Whoever voted for him must have left off the name and just put "Tulane head coach" on their ballot, thinking that Willie fritz was still in charge.

I’m sorry but whit isn’t a top 10 coach. Great home record but doesn’t win big games. Hasn’t won a NY6 bowl since 09 and is trash at recruiting.

National media in general has acknowledge anything that CLR did on the defensive side of the ball, but if a 3rd asst coach from say Boston College or any minor happening in the SEC,Big12 or whatever its all over the place.

eSECpn

ESPN Sucks. Has for years. Harold Reynolds of MLB network is one of my heroes for taking their sorry asses to the woodshed when they tried to cancel him on bogus harassment charges. I'm hoping that Lincoln Riley can right this ship but as of right now he does not rate in the top 10 of college coaches IMHO. I've been a USC hommie since 1961, longer than most of you have been alive. I've seen um all since Jess Hill. Riley's got a lot of work to do to be in the same conversation with McKay, Robinson and Carroll.

Kirby hasn't lost 1 regular season game..... SINCE 2020. .. but u don't think he's the best coach .... 😂😂😂😂 42 - 2 in 44 games.... but he's not the best coach

Outrageous that brent venables is not a top 10 coach dude goes 10 and 2 and his second season after having a 6 and 7 record in his first not enough credit shows u that the media hates ou for some dumb reason its stupid

With all of the momentum that USC currently has with recruiting, there is no way in the world that ESPN wants to endorse Lincoln Riley as a top 10 coach to further effort. Just keep bagging on USC and their defense and coach Riley and let’s see what happens this next year. it would be great if they give Lincoln the coach of the year when he wins the national championship, and he respectfully declines due to the lack of credibility of ESPN

ESPN owns the sec network food for thought

Kyle is ok not great

Kyle is a solid coach but he's lost 5 straight bowl games. All of the other 9 coaches listed have won a bowl game more recently and including the man not on that list Lincoln Riley. We don't know if Kyle would have had the same success or be even more successful if he got a blue blood job. I've seen those coaches that do well at group of 5 or less branded names in the power 5 and not live up to when they went to a better job. Tom Herman, Charlie Strong, Scott Frost, and others that I can't think of currently. Oregon fans don't want to admit that Lanning took over a 10 win team that played in the pac 12 championship game and was coached by a guy who can recruit and get top level talent at the offensive line position. I'd take Lance over Lanning. What Lance is doing is something you can only do in Ncaa 14. Even Les Miles couldn't do it lol.

Fuel for the fire 🔥!! This should motivate the Team to prove something this season!!!

Yeah Gabe this list is completely biased against L Riley. But I do still like some of ESPN’s content. College Football Gameday is a show I grew up on and still my favorite football show

Ай бұрын

But Dan Lanning, lane kiffin, sark????? Fyou espn

I agree with some of these rankings. Dabo should not be ranked, Clemson isn’t really relevant anymore. Dan Lanning should be 3rd…everyone’s afraid of Oregon (so are we) and they keep reloading. Dante Moore and Dillon Gabriel are going elevate their offense (even more so than what Bo Nix did). Ryan Day at 10 I’m fine with. If your college rivalry game is dubbed the biggest of all time and you can’t beat your foe, then even with MHJ you don’t deserve to be ranked that high. As for Whittingham, he is worth being ranked 4 just for being able to beat us with Bryson Barnes, who now btw is at Utah State, so we essentially lost to an Utah State QB… And lastly I would have Leipold over Lincoln for sure given that he has actually overachieved at Kansas while we’re still trying to figure it out. Good discussions tho

The article lost me when I saw Ryan Day was ranked 10th and was behind the likes of Steve Sarkisian, Lane Kiffin, and Dabo Swinney. Swinney is not even a Top 10 head coach if all you care about is recent success and program trajectory, while Day has adapted to the NIL era, shown he is willing to adjust his identity and staff, and is 56-8 as a head coach. All but two of those losses were to teams who participated in the CFP (3 of whom won it all). Also, as much as I like Deion Sanders, he does not belong near the Top 10 as of this moment.

Don't mind the rankings. It's like ranking flavors of ice cream. I don't have much faith in Riley, plus I'm pretty sure he's gonna head for the nfl in a few years. Not enough time to build a team in my opinion.

Don’t care about espn, but however based on last year’s performance by each team including USC it seems about right to me. The failure of the defense was LR responsibility, stop it the pissing and moaning until the changes being made are successful.

By that argument you can only make this ranking based on last year. Thus, DeBoer is the best coach in college football as Harbaugh dipped to the NFL. Also, since you are basing your argument only on the most recent year, how can Witt be number three after going 8-5?

Go watch Kurt Warner's breakdown of Caleb Williams and Riley's offense from this past season and you'll see why Riley isn't the offensive guru all you clowns think he is
