You already know how I feel about ESPN, so you shouldn’t be all that shocked with this video. They’re ignorance shines through AGAIN!!

Where is Purdue? They went 9-4 last year playing a tough schedule and return their QB and 15 starters, and where is NC State they return a bunch of starters from a pretty good team. also I have no clue how Arkansas and Tennessee aren’t ranked but Florida is and auburn and LSU are near the top 10. Your rankings are much more realistic in my opinion.
UGA will end up going undefeated in the east.
Being a notre dame fan I don’t think they should be 5, maybe like 10. Then Texas I would have them 25 or not even ranked
To say ND doesn't belong there is insane 5 straight yrs of 10 plus wins. Best team they've had since holt's. The real love as usual goes to the overrated SEC. You always have something to say about ND. After they beat Ohio st week 1 you'll finally get it.
Kentuckeee
It Is All About The []_[]!
Auburn has #1 hardest schedule in 2022
Tbh I agree about my Longhorns. No chance they should be Top 10, bordering on Top 5. No chance. OL needs work, as does the defense. Was actually going to write about being ranked that high. Got 3 freshman OL coming in and looking at a transfer or two, but if those freshmen start from the jump it's going to be ugly. Game speed, physicality, defensive sophistication, etc typically keep freshmen OL on the sideline for a year or two. I'd prefer if they were unranked.
GBD your Rankings makes more sense.
Is this the pre-season top 25 if so Louisiana should be in it
If and I mean IF FSU beats LSU and Florida what does that say about FSU and where does that put the SEC?
espn or should I say bspn don't know their rear ends from a hole in the ground
I dont understand how people put Miami and Florida in the top 25 when they arent even the best team in Florida. UCF is the best team in Florida where are they at. It seems like people forget about them when they have so many people returning and also so many good transfers. I know our schedule wasnt the best but we should have only lost to Cinci and SMU and where tf are they at hiow does Cinci not even make the 25 like come on people need to wake up and notice these teams and stop dick riding all these big school recruits dont make a team the best how they play together do. Just want people to wake up and let the little school have a shot and all the people saying Cinci got blown out thats a lie they could have easily had 2 more touchdowns but unfortunate things happened like wasnt it like 6-29 but just keep the small teams in mind they can actaully beat these big teams especially ND anybody can beat them.
ESPN is a joke. I wonder how much money Texas gave them for that ranking.
funny when I read thumbnail that’s why I’m here
Dude don’t forget Texas got the mullet man at QB this year. Any kid that can’t sport the mullet and throw a football 75 yards with accuracy is gonna be a star. Just saying I think Texas is gonna win some games with that addition, just like West Virginia with the addition of JT.
ESPN leaving out North Carolina State out of the top 25 shows there lack of knowledge about college football
How can you put Oklahoma so high above WV when you think we could easily win that game?
Your list is better for sure. I'd personally pick you guys No. 23 in both the AP and ESPN Poll with the potential you guys could reach a New Year's Six bowl and maybe even the College Football Playoff with just one loss.
Armstrong and the rest of the offense coming back should vault us into the top 40 alone
PUHLEESE…Texas 6 and Auburn 10???? WT*
your'e top 25 by far.
As an OU fan i feel you ranking us at 9 is respectable and your rankings as a whole make much more sense. I wouldn't have ranked Clemson so high with their offense/QB situation but for the most part pretty spot on. As far as the teams i think will be in the hunt for Big 12 championship its gotta be, Baylor, Ok State, Oklahoma and now that yall have JT Daniels it does put WV in the mix. Just my take
Omg how is auburn, miss st, and florida even top 25 teams?? He is right Arkansas should be in over those SEC schools! Clemson and ND top 10 with coaching changes and no good QBs? Also, Texas is borderline top 20 to 25 at best.
Penn St hard to judge can be anywhere 7-5 to 10-2 and second best team in big ten. Especially with michigan not known to reload should have huge drop off in defense like massively to replace two elite ends and safety and their really the best coordinator on team mike MacDonald. Offense lost best RB in Haskins too and guess Gattis if you thought he was really good or not. Cade stinks if they pick him over JJ too. Michigan has an easy schedule but team is built like a 9-3 team.
Pre Season Top 25 is primarily about 2 things: 1) generating hype between specific matchups for the first 2-3 weeks of the season, and 2) getting certain brands that ESPN is invested in to look good (thus generating more hype). ESPN will say its about which teams had the most number of returning players, and they'll say that it also has to do with how the team did last year, but as you have noted, some teams with great seasons got snubbed out of the top 25, whereas Texas somehow ended up #6.
It's money and the popular kids club and they don't care what makes sense so long as it makes cents
Yours is way more accurate and we be closer to the actual rankings when they come out
I have to DISAGREE with Wisconsin being the favorite to win the B1G West this year! Yes, they will bounce back, but Purdue is going to win the B1G West and will face Ohio St in the B1G Championship. I would like to get your thoughts, and also, I would like to write for you also GBD, but how do I get the process started? Oh, and Sparty will take a step back this year. Happy Easter to you and your family!
I have to ask you GBD how do you have Iowa ahead of Purdue especially when they don't have a QB and why is everybody HATING on them? I'm telling you that they're going to win the B1G West! Keep HATING on them!
So correct me if I’m wrong you said you can see your team going 10-2 but you have like 4 of your opponents ranked higher that West Virginia. How does that work
UCF is going to be good next year!
