Why Texas, Florida State & Ohio State are above other National Title contenders | Always College Football
We turn to October and look at legit teams that can make the CFP and win a National Title. Impressive early season teams like Texas, Florida State and Ohio State look good while defending champ Georgia is giving people more questions than answers. Will Notre Dame, Alabama or Texas A&M be able to run the table? We look back at OUR preseason Top 25 and tell what picks were SMART and what picks were DUMB. Plus, we hit the midweek mailbag and tell you what we hate and love about college football this week.

The update on your predictions would be better at week seven.
Guess you were dumb with Miami
Clemson and LSU both have 2 losses lol
OSU does not look gd this yr. I think Michigan and FSU meet in the playoffs and FSU stomps Michigan (not a fan of either team just a prediction)
Oregon State and Oregon are not friends. Also Eugene is south of Corvallis and a little to the east.
Go Beavs
How is Ohio State looking great???
FSU beat a fraud LSU team and struggled against BC. Clemson should’ve even be mentioned. They’re not an elite program anymore
You know he's lonely and seeking attention 😢😢
Worried about LSU’s secondary? What about their rush defense? I was concerned that Ole Missy was going to go for 2 as the announcers suggested. It didn’t matter of course. This is not only an LSU team but it isn’t even a Brian Kelly team.
7:35 to not put ole miss in this spot after beating lsu is insane
Hope ESPN keeps this podcast. Great, great info! Thanks Greg…from a Husker fan.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but Oregon at 17 to begin the year is horrible. Really shows how people don’t pay attention to the pac12. They were returning a heisman trophy candidate in Nix, one of the best WR’s in Franklin, and then year 2 of Dan Lanning defense. They brought in so many impact transfers
I think the B1G will be a mess at the end of the year. I think PSU beats Michigan, OSU beats PSU and Michigan beats OSU . Who goes if all have only 1 loss.
I get you have been burned by Texas. Burnt Orange
lol Clemson was a missed field goal from beating fsu. Somehow they are in a higher tier than UGa
Wait what? Florida State may have a really ready path to the CFP…. But but seriously the least impressive resume if they go undefeated….. LSU has not defense…. How are they still even rated??? Even LSU fans are asking that!!!! 2 weeks in a row they we're outplayed for most the the game by Clemson and …..Boston college???? Both out gaming them 100 yds…. So no…. Number 5 is way too high for their resume so far. Naming Ohio State over Michigan and Penn State at this point is irrelevant…. They play each other soon enough And we have no idea who will win at this point. Texas? They'll probably win the big 12.
There are 8-12 teams that could make the finals
The disrespect for Texas on ESPN is crazy. I don't see how Ou is ranked higher comparing who they have played to who Texas has played.
GO BUCKEYES!!!
Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, FSU will be the final 4, no particular order there. Mark it. OSU and bama are building steam methodically and quietly….QUITELY and without rat poison. Just the way they like it, no hype, being disrespected. They to me are going to be scary come november.
So if Georgia makes the sec championship with one lose and loses to lsu with 2 losses already does lsu or uga get in with 2 losses on the season ?
Best thing about Greg is on every topic it's always Yes, No, Maybe, that's for you to decide. A lot of people covering this sport will just flat out say what they want in a matter of fact way of speaking. What I love is the non bias genuine input, what I hate is how rare that is within sports coverage media. Keep up the great work!!
Texas isn’t in the top 10.
If you were not owned by the SEC we could take you seriously. Kentucky and Missouri? LOL FAKE NEWS BRO
