This is basically me pushing a lot of my chips into the middle of the table, and maybe in 2025 I will be optimistic too depending on how the season goes for Penn State. I still don't view Franklin as a Top 15 head coach because of his questionable game management, but he has built an elite staff around with with Chuck Losey, Ja'Juan Seider, Terry Smith, Ty Howle, Andy Kotelnicki, Tom Allen, and Deion Barnes. And elite support staff, elite coordinators, and several NFL players with quality depth scream breakout year, especially with an easy schedule.
Yes Michigan with losing their entire O-Line, a first round qb, their entire coaching staff and don’t have other teams signals now will go to a natty….. bruh please 😂😂
Culture starts with bringing in quality student athletes team players not individuals who come for the money always subtract at least one star for the money-grubbers
@@robertjulieannanalett1691Ohio State Buckeyes always talk about the brotherhood. The majority of them also wear their faith (Christian )on their sleeves. Even in the NFL, their loyalty still seems to be to Ohio State. MHJ talked about how hard it was to leave. CJ is giving money back to the NIL collectives. Comparing Ohio State to T A&M is just a bad take. Especially from B1G fans who know better.
As a Husky fan, sad to see your prediction but you did pretty well on the analysis, although WR is not a weakness at all. It’s one of our strengths, Denzel Boston is a dawg and so is Jeremiah Hunter.
People are counting Washington out for roster turnover and a new coach but in the same breath saying Michigan will contend for the conference championship…
I appreciate the effort you put into this. I'd love a 14-2 season as a Penn State fan and it's definitely possible. Regular season is between 10-2 and 12-0. 11-1 should guarantee a home game for the first round of the playoffs, and that should put us at 12-1 heading into the quarters. That would make this the first 12-win season since 1994 and the fourth ever. One more win would mean the most wins in one season in program history. I'm hyped for the season, but I'm not going to get my hopes up too soon.
if you can go 12-0 with a win over us or maybe 11-1 and get the #5 or #6 seed that pretty much sets you up to make the semis assuming you can beat whoever comes out of the acc/big 12
As a UCLA fan, you sound *very* B1G biased (traditional B1G, that is). The top of the B1G is undoubtedly better. The rest? A bit of recent history for consideration: - Washington beat MSU in 2022 and 2023. - Washington State, which went 2-7 in PAC-12 play last year, beat Wisconsin in 2022 and 2023. - Colorado, which went 1-8 in Pac-12 play, beat Nebraska in 2023. I realize that I’m cherry picking games but when you have bad Pac-12 teams beating mid-tier B1G teams, I don’t think we can just assume that the B1G is tougher (overall) than that Pac12 was *last year*. It will be fascinating to see how these new conference opponents do against each other.
Listening a bit more, I’m realizing that you believe the differences in style of play are enormous and that probably makes up a lot of your opinions about the former PAC-12 teams. That’s the big question - will that actually matter that much? I’m not convinced it will.
@@DougThomsenhistorically since at least the 80’s the B1G is about on par with the PAC in terms of wins and losses. Both conferences only have two champion teams (USC & Washington) and (Ohio State & Michigan), not counting Nebraska because their dominance was in the Big 8. Outside of the top 2-3 B1G teams the past few decades, they’ve been a pretty soft conference. Wisconsin’s best team couldn’t beat a decent Oregon team in the Rose Bowl. Utah took Ohio State to the wire. They’re a lot closer than people realize.
1. USC OL is massive. They average 6'5" 320 lbs per man. They have 3 potential all Big 10 starters. T Elijah Page, C Johan Monheim, RG Emmanuel Pregnon. 2. You use return starters as a tool. USC added 6 starters through the TP to what they have returning on defense. S A.Arnold (Oregon St), S Ramsey (UCLA), CB John Humphrey (UCLA), LB M. Arnold (Oregon State). 3. The USC defense is leaded with Sr's this is an older experienced defense. Sr. Lead defenses have done well in college football. 4. They added RB Woody Marks (Miss State) WR Jay Fair (Auburn) to a loaded WR room. They go 8 deep here. 5. They loaded up at TE 6. They have former starter QB Jayden Maiava (UNLV) at back up for insurance. 7. USC returns several Key starters on defense Bear Alexander, Anthony Lucas, Mason Cobb, Jamil Muhammad, Eric Gentry, Jaylin Smith.
typically enjoy your analysis but i beg to differ as it relates to how good you believe Michigan will be versus how bad you project Washington to be despite both teams losing a vast majority of their big players from last season as well as their head coaches. Projecting one of those two teams to have a floor that is two wins greater than the other teams ceiling seems lazy at worst, willfully negligent at best. Also, Washington was not a 'severe' underdog to Texas last year as you stated, that's blatantly and provably false.
The majority of analysts were picking Texas to beat Washington and the spread was -5.5 Texas. Washington was not a severe underdog, but they were certainly an underdog and the media was heavily siding with Texas before kickoff. In regards to the Michigan vs Washington comparison, I see where you are coming from and it is a fair critique. My pushback would be that Michigan's team chemistry will likely be higher, they have more talent and better strength and conditioning, and they return many more 2-deep contributors that Washington does from 2023 (and from a team that was multiple touchdowns better than Washington). However, Washington does have more experience at quarterback and also a good coaching staff, so the margin between these two teams could be much closer than I am predicting. We will know a lot about these two teams and close they are to each other after their showdown in Week 6.
I agree with Sam's response that Michigan was a far deeper team than Washington, so despite losing similar amounts of players/coaches Michigan is in a far better position to succeed in 2024. Not recognizing that seems "lazy at worst, willfully negligent at best." 😂
@@MaizeBlueMichigan Having a 'deep' team implies having players who produced previously, 'Returning Production' quite literally means 'players returning who have produced previously'. Both teams having quite literally the same percentage in 'returning production' should tell folks with common sense that there are a lot of unknowns on both teams. That's my gripe in predicting ones ceiling as being two wins less than the other teams floor despite the same level of 'unknown' as it relates to their returning production.
@@collegefootballwithsam totally fair in terms of chemistry given the coaching situations at each school respectively and potentially strength and conditioning, that is a bit of an unknown for UW as of yet. I'm not understanding the rationale behind 'more 2 deep contributors' however. Does 'returning production' not encompass those '2 deep contributors' as well? If so, your own stats suggest that both teams are returning the exact same amount of '2 deep contributors'. Also, does this take into account additions through the transfer portal? Adding a Will Rogers and especially a Jonah Coleman and a no longer injured Cam Davis make me think UW has a bit more 'returning experience' than most believe despite that experience not all coming while at Washington. I cannot wait for the matchup in week 6 and have tickets lined up already, should be a great atmosphere!
@@ats3216 tbh I'm not very familiar with many of Washington's back ups from last year, but based upon the game's that I watched it seems many if not all of the star players from Washington's squad last year have left, whereas Michigan returns their two best defensive tackles as well two rotational pieces at edge that played very well, the best corner in the nation, best tight end in the nation, and a running back who I think can be one of the best in the country as well. Those players on top of the fact many other starters this year have some degree of experience and are mostly blue chip recruits makes the team conference contenders. I don't think Washington is in as good of a position from what I've read, however my knowledge is more limited. It'll be determined this season though when the two teams face off, and I predict the Wolverines will win handily.
I see Xichigan in a down year this year. I just can't see anyone in the Big Ten challenging Ohio State except for Xichigan. I see a 2 loss regular season for Xichigan and a 2nd loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. I think that the Weasels' game against Texas will show us a lot. Ohio State will win the Big Ten but the Buckeyes will beat Xichigan in the Big Ten title game... not Oregon or State College. Go, Buckeyes!!!!
I appreciate the time and deep research you put into this. I still think the BigTen will be incredibly difficult to predict this year, considering all the new teams, new (or 2nd year) coaches, transfers in and out, something like 14 teams starting new QBs, etc. as a Michigan State fan, I certainly hope you are correct. I know you are a Michigan fan and you try to be very fair with your assessments of MSU, and sometimes I think you try to be too kind to MSU. I agree MSU’s ceiling is 9-3, but I think the floor could be 3-9, and my prediction of 6-6 still makes me nervous when Vegas has the O/U at 4.5. Minor correction: MSU’s week three game vs. Louisiana was canceled, and replaced with Prairie View A&M-obviously won’t change your predictions.
@@collegefootballwithsam Not sure I buy USC taking that having that difficult a time in the Big Ten. The defense won’t improve overnight, but USC does have talented players on their defense (if you go by recruitment rankings). I think the scheme changes from their new DC will bear fruit faster than they would at most other schools because of this. With that said, it’s true that Lincoln Riley’s offense tends to negatively impact his defense due to TOP, so I see where you’re coming from. I think I see them more as an 8 or 9 win team. I like your Rutgers take a lot, I see them in the 8-10 win range myself. I do think Athan may be better than people think this year as well. Reports from camp seem to indicate he’s been pretty proficient at throwing the ball.
Oregon behind Iowa and Penn State is the biggest L take I've seen yet. You're essentially saying Oregon doesn't even deserve an at-large playoff bid with that ranking, when they are quite clearly a top 2 team in the conference. I thought it was bad enough seeing some guy put Oregon 6th in their top 25 poll, but this is basically east coast bias at its worst.
I think Washington goes probably 6-6 or 7-5, giving them zero games between week 4-11 is a crazy take with the quality of coaching there imo even if they are new. That combined with a solid portal I think they win at least 2 of those games in that span. 1 against USC at home and 1 or 2 of @ Indiana, Rutgers,Iowa
Oh yeah, everyone thinks "the Big Ten west is gone haha Iowa will suck now", but they won't. Even if they played let's say Michigan/Penn State/Oregon instead of Washington, I would still have Iowa going 10-2 and maybe 11-1 still, because if they hosted those teams I would not count out a good Iowa team at home.
@@collegefootballwithsam you don’t think your expectations for their offense are a bit too high? I would bet $1000 on each of those games Iowa losing all of them. Unless they proved to not be a huge liability on offense. It doesn’t matter. Iowa got a super lucky schedule. They should be favored in all of them except possibly Nebraska depending on how they’re doing injuries wise.
I have to hard disagree with you on Iowa and Rutgers you said something about northwestern winning a bunch of close games 5 of iowas wins were by less than 7 points vs middling opponents you can also dig a bit deeper and show that 8 of there 10 wins were by 10 points or less. And I doubt Cade McNamara will be above average. And for Rutgers athen is just so bad i watched him in person struggle to throw the ball vs eastern Michigan and watched him play 2 years of middling offense.
Sam I love your vids brother and love what you do. Awesome analysis always. I get what you are trying to do with having video now of yourself. One thing I will say is, if youre going to have your face on video to potentially maybe get recognition and a gig out there hopefully one day (Cause I believe you 100% can do it), atleast be presentable. Get rid of the hoodie, get a haircut, shave and give it your all. You got this
Stay away from a casino man. Michigan will get pummeled by Oregon and go nowhere in the playoffs if they get there and I cannot fathom Penn st going undefeated
I don’t see why you don’t just run a military school like triple option offense if you are Michigan. You have all the pieces for it and your weakness is in the passing game.
@@Growthandquotes I know a lot about this SC team, they look completely different than last season. They gained 1400 pounds this off-season. I could see 8-4, but not 5-7. If they go 5-7, SC better quit playing football.
@@SpencerBringhurst how exactly, this is a conference where offense is nearly non existing. SC hired a great DC who made UCLA a top 10 defense in one year from 90th defense, and they did it vs good offensive teams
I think that is a very possible outcome for Michigan. The only reason I put 9-3 as their floor and not 8-4 is after Ohio State, Oregon, and Texas, the next toughest team they play is probably USC or Michigan State at home, and Michigan matches up incredibly well with them.
Wrong michigan hasn't lost in ann arbor since 2020 no way either texas or oregon is going too beat michigan at home 😅😅😅 texss lost to Washington we slaughtered them oregon lost to Washington twice lol
@@collegefootballwithsam I just think Texas will be improved from last year and I expect Michigan to take a slight step back. I think people underestimate Oregon. They are a top 3 B1G team right now. When it comes to teams of those caliber we’re talking about 3 point margins mostly. It’s not a stretch either way you slice it. My gut just says 9-3. 10-3 overall.
@ericchochon5880 oregon plays against trash defenses they are gonna get a wake up call when they play Ohio state and michigan pac 12 don't play elite defensive teams period
The outgoing OC had had 4 years to develop a quarterback, and never got the job done. His winning QBs were guys he rented from the portal. His offenses statistically were quite bad. Lujan has already recruited QBs in both the '25 and '26 classes.
Yea Sam you tripping the secondary players we have coming in this year are wayyyyyyy better than our DBs from last year tell us you scared of us without saying it!!! Last time we went to Ann Arbor we stomped Michigan 😭😭
So... USC wins at Maryland? I'm not so sure. I'm sorry, USC fans... I'm not from Missouri but you have to "show me". I think that the out west teams are in trouble this year.
Don't worry, Michigan will be great for years to come and Jonathan Smith will find ways to beat them while also building a great program in East Lansing. There will be a Top 10 Michigan vs Michigan State game soon, the question is when, not if.
KJ Winston? Who tf is he???? Who does he play for??? Caleb downs the as a freshmen true freshman was all sec last year lmfaooooo he must be some 3 star cheatagain new starter yall recruit like ass and think you can win no….cheating is what closed that gap in years prior lmfao good luck
OSU wouldn’t lose to Michigan in the rose bowl NO way lol you DO NOT want OSU in the rose bowl idk if you’ve seen the numbers they’ve put up in that building but id take a second look. So if OSU just throws and loses 1 game on purpose literally sitting starters to get the 5th seeding lol also NO WAY does a DT on a struggling Michigan team win defensive player of the year and with your offensive line having holes at Michigan how is Edward’s MVP when you don’t have wide holes to run through I just don’t see it. OSU has 4 players being all American 1st team Michigan ofcourse has 5 lol 😂 Michigan literally got lucky last year too many times in that game , not to mention McCord hand yall. 7 points at the beginning of the game. This OSU team aren’t even thinking of lil blue anymore yall cheating like tht to ruin some of the best QB play ever at OSU (CJ Stroud) it’s gone from a rivalry to destroy them by anyway you fight dirty then well pick up studs thru the transfer portal and recruit like Michigan has never seen, we have 5 QBs who’d start at Michigan all our WRs would start hell you’d take our offensive linemen now. And our entire defense would start at lil blue your old beloved Cheater coach jimmy bloodied the water, rivalries usually have some respect for the other OSU players don’t respect the coaches at Michigan and your not gunna want to watch in November once we take you out of the playoffs with that 3rd loss. Michigan is not beating Texas im sorry week 2 no. Oregon will get you will Johnson can’t cover the whole field.
@@jameslowe7193 lmfaoooo not when u don’t got stallion feeding ur OC and DC all the plays IN REAL TIME you idiot he’s got a documentary coming out on Netflix there’s leaked stuff about how he had ppl sitting and filming OSU coaching choosing plays, go rewatch 22-21 and notice Michigan blitzes the correct side EVERY time past the first half. But keep being a flat earther like the NCAA said you cheated and you idiots na all good here take a look at your recruiting stats for 25 nobody wants to join a school known to cheat
Lolol 1…2 Blue is coming for you.. 3…4 Day’s locking his door 5…6 Ohio sucks big dicks 7…8 National championship feels great 9…10 Gonna lose to UM again
only the B1G champ should be able to play for the rose bowl. send the runner ups to another conference champions bracket so we see different matchups in the playoff rather some rematches that make the regular season seem pointless
You do great work. My only beef is the lack of any all big ten defensive players from Minnesota. I think you’ll be crying when the season is over and you left multiple players off your list. Other than that you have been very thoughtful.
Exactly, why is nobody else saying this. This is a completely different team than last year. When you actually look into their team, they look much better. at least say 8-4, like really
@@trojan-c2p and non of them have looked into SC at all, they all think this is the same team as last year. Did we not just hire a DC who turned UCLA into a top 10 defense, or the Rams d line coach who coached AD. Or a 2 time FCS national title winner for the linebackers. And we added a lot of talent, gained 1400 pounds this off-season. If SC loses 7 games, they should just stop playing football. This team is going to shock a lot of people because no one seems to understand how good this team could be
Love your content and I think your takes are usually very measured. I am really not sure how you think Michigan will be 13-2 with distractions, a partially new staff, questions at QB and a rookie(ish) HC. I think their floor is 8-4 with a more likely 9-3 record that would be 10-2 with an easier schedule. Until James Franklin wins a big game I can’t bet on him. I’m much higher on Oregon with you, I don’t know that the big 10 is ready for them. Also, my Spartans dropped Louisiana, we are playing prairie view a&m.
That is a reasonable opinion. Beating Iowa off of the bye, or Rutgers at the end of the year is the most likely major upset win. Those are followed by winning at Michigan, beating Ohio State at home, and beating Oregon in Autzen.
The Big Ten is way tougher than the Pac-12 was. It's just true. Just wait until those out west teams have to go to Purdue and think that they have an easy win.... at Northwestern is never easy either. Those teams put beef grease on the field after forgetting to cut the grass.
Rutgers with two losses regular season GETS them into the B1G championship IMO. IF they somehow win that or play a close game, I think they will definitely be in the playoffs. Actually they MIGHT have a better shot at making the playoffs than the B1G championship. It will interesting to see the B1G tiebreakers for the championship game, BUT think it will be very hard for any of the teams that have to play each other to go unscathed l. I could see a lot of two losses at the top. For all the talk about Rutgers having the easiest schedule in the B1G, which is true, PSU basically has the same one just swapping out OSU vs say Wisconsin. The remain games are very comparable. Either way great breakdown, although I think you have PSU and UM too high. I think OSU is probably the best, but vulnerable and I think Oregon will come out hot but wear down and have some losses in November. PSU will not go undefeated… WVU takes them week 1…
(Sorry for spelling and gammar mistakes. I used speech to text because I suck at typing) I'm sorry if someone has already said this but I have not seen it posted so I'll just correct an error and that is OSU doesn't play Southern Miss they play Akron also Penn State beating OSU I feel like that is a hard reach due to the fact that they've only beaten OSU once in 2016 and also I feel like Michigan going 11-1 is a little bit of a reach there are so many questions for me especially when it comes to the coaches and they've lost a lot of great talent defensively they're going to be phenomenal I have them in the top three best defenses in the nation only behind OSU and UGA I feel like OSU in a Rose Bowl will have them win again because it's hard to do what Ryan they did his first year and you're now saying that more is going to be better than they was that's kind of going to be hard as a first-year head coach it's hard to just make playoffs let alone go in and win several games.
As a Michigan fan, the thing that surprises me most about this video is you have Texas missing the playoffs. I can see them losing to Michigan, but who else do you think they fall to in the regular season?
there's an error with USC where you have the going 6-7 with a bowl game win. that's impossible because they only have 5 regular season wins which isn't enough to go bowling
I explained that I think there are not enough bowl eligible teams to fill bowl slots, and since USC has had a very impressive APR over the past few years, they would get an invitation.
@@gregjacksun I think Penn State's floor is 10-2, and a 10-2 Penn State would not be guaranteed a CFP spot in a season with a ton of 11/12 win teams., in my opinion.
There’s no way USC is loosing that many Big10 games. I can see loosing Penn State and Michigan but Rutgers and Minnesota?? I think you’re really underestimating the former Pac12 teams. I guess we won’t know until the games are played.
Like I said in the video, I hate my USC pick. If there is any predictions that I make that I will encourage you to disagree with, they are ones that relate to the Trojans. I have no read on the program and they clearly have depth issues, so that is why I am picking them to perform so poorly. If they go 8-4/9-3/10-2, that wouldn't shock me as long as the losses were to Michigan and Penn State. I also think that Riley isn't going to be fired barring a disaster worse than the one I predict, and that USC will be strong in 2025 with most of their starters coming back.
Michigan and pedo state U have the best Dlines? Who has the best defense? Who is going to beat both of you and win a Natty OSU! Keep dreaming losers yall needa get on that cheating like Michigan if u wanna turn around ur team for 3 years and then have shit recruiting forever cuz no player wants to go to a school they aren’t sure if what they did on the field made the difference or the cheating did, go look at Michigans recruiting for 25
@@devon303 I personally don't care about Michigan "cheating" i still think they are significantly worse than last year with a harder schedule than last year.
This man said Iowa can compete for the B1G title but said Oregon won’t make it yea Sam I gotta unsubscribe after this video fam you must was drunk recording this 😂😂😂😂😂
Oregon will be far better than Iowa, but Iowa has an easier schedule and by virtue of having one fewer loss, they will finish ahead of Oregon in my predictions. I do think Oregon can compete for a National Title, which Iowa is incapable of, but if an inferior team has an easier schedule than a superior team, they can finish ahead in the conference placements.
@@CharlesBolton-yf7eg I hope so as well, but I think the defense will be elite again, and the new OC will get the offense fixed and playing dangerous!!!! WE ARE
Michigan SHOULD have a great QB to pass on portal, like pursuing McCord from Syracuse. Maligned by RUclips McCord was 2nd team All B1G - like JJ ‘22 - and had far better game v MI than Penix, etal. And one drive short of beating MI in Ann Arbor. Someone SHOULD be good to great from MI QB room - Ruddock Speight Cade all were at least Honorable Mention All B1G - which currently maligned by RUclips - that quality should be good enough to get a few playoff wins . But WHO? If NOT, Moore Campbell really didn’t do their jobs in portal or development!!! If this room is Forcier or Peters quality - that’s really on the Coaches. This team with poor quarterback play - is 100% a MAJOR COACHING FAIL in planning, portal and development. So expect excellence at QB and a great year - or someone or two didn’t do their coaching jobs.
@@kevinchandler179 He broke teams down very well last year, and gave great insight on matchups. Obviously he’s not always right with the lower teams like NW, but nobody could have predicted that. I do think he’s a little high on Michigan this year than he should be but one thing is written in stone. Michigan will beat PSU
@@kevinchandler179 I realize that. It’s a general statement. As in we know the result if you do see them. Death, taxes, PSU losing big games. I’ll gladly leave the “island” 💀 I hope you don’t try to be this witty irl man. It’s bad.

Let’s just say it penn state is know way the best team in the big ten Ohio state is going all the way the return everyone on defense except two players they Penn state beat like six years in a row this is the most loaded team in college football not to mention they got all American safety Josh Downs this team isn’t losing to Penn State

As a Penn State fan I’m baffled but this just got me extremely excited. 12-0 would be a dream!
The schedule is manageable. I could see it if they stay healthy.
I think we go 11-1 and make it to the big ten championship game
No 10 and 2 but we shall see
This is basically me pushing a lot of my chips into the middle of the table, and maybe in 2025 I will be optimistic too depending on how the season goes for Penn State. I still don't view Franklin as a Top 15 head coach because of his questionable game management, but he has built an elite staff around with with Chuck Losey, Ja'Juan Seider, Terry Smith, Ty Howle, Andy Kotelnicki, Tom Allen, and Deion Barnes. And elite support staff, elite coordinators, and several NFL players with quality depth scream breakout year, especially with an easy schedule.
Yes Michigan with losing their entire O-Line, a first round qb, their entire coaching staff and don’t have other teams signals now will go to a natty….. bruh please 😂😂
Haven't you heard? They have a great culture*. 😂😂😂
Culture starts with bringing in quality student athletes team players not individuals who come for the money always subtract at least one star for the money-grubbers
@@robertjulieannanalett1691Ohio State Buckeyes always talk about the brotherhood. The majority of them also wear their faith (Christian )on their sleeves. Even in the NFL, their loyalty still seems to be to Ohio State. MHJ talked about how hard it was to leave. CJ is giving money back to the NIL collectives. Comparing Ohio State to T A&M is just a bad take. Especially from B1G fans who know better.

@@sgtpickles1319 it’s wild man they both in the same damn boat 😂😂😂😂
They were pretty clearly better than wash last year and look to be clearly better this year by a lot
I appreciate the effort you put into this. I'd love a 14-2 season as a Penn State fan and it's definitely possible. Regular season is between 10-2 and 12-0. 11-1 should guarantee a home game for the first round of the playoffs, and that should put us at 12-1 heading into the quarters. That would make this the first 12-win season since 1994 and the fourth ever. One more win would mean the most wins in one season in program history.
I'm hyped for the season, but I'm not going to get my hopes up too soon.
if you can go 12-0 with a win over us or maybe 11-1 and get the #5 or #6 seed that pretty much sets you up to make the semis assuming you can beat whoever comes out of the acc/big 12
slow down
As a UCLA fan, you sound *very* B1G biased (traditional B1G, that is). The top of the B1G is undoubtedly better. The rest?
A bit of recent history for consideration:
- Washington beat MSU in 2022 and 2023.
- Washington State, which went 2-7 in PAC-12 play last year, beat Wisconsin in 2022 and 2023.
- Colorado, which went 1-8 in Pac-12 play, beat Nebraska in 2023.
I realize that I’m cherry picking games but when you have bad Pac-12 teams beating mid-tier B1G teams, I don’t think we can just assume that the B1G is tougher (overall) than that Pac12 was *last year*.
It will be fascinating to see how these new conference opponents do against each other.
Listening a bit more, I’m realizing that you believe the differences in style of play are enormous and that probably makes up a lot of your opinions about the former PAC-12 teams.
That’s the big question - will that actually matter that much? I’m not convinced it will.
They can’t get off the delusion that all BG10 play great defense!
@@DougThomsenhistorically since at least the 80’s the B1G is about on par with the PAC in terms of wins and losses.
Both conferences only have two champion teams (USC & Washington) and (Ohio State & Michigan), not counting Nebraska because their dominance was in the Big 8.
Outside of the top 2-3 B1G teams the past few decades, they’ve been a pretty soft conference. Wisconsin’s best team couldn’t beat a decent Oregon team in the Rose Bowl. Utah took Ohio State to the wire.
They’re a lot closer than people realize.
1. USC OL is massive. They average 6'5" 320 lbs per man. They have 3 potential all Big 10 starters. T Elijah Page, C Johan Monheim, RG Emmanuel Pregnon.
2. You use return starters as a tool. USC added 6 starters through the TP to what they have returning on defense. S A.Arnold (Oregon St), S Ramsey (UCLA), CB John Humphrey (UCLA), LB M. Arnold (Oregon State).
3. The USC defense is leaded with Sr's this is an older experienced defense. Sr. Lead defenses have done well in college football.
4. They added RB Woody Marks (Miss State) WR Jay Fair (Auburn) to a loaded WR room. They go 8 deep here.
5. They loaded up at TE
6. They have former starter QB Jayden Maiava (UNLV) at back up for insurance.
7. USC returns several Key starters on defense
Bear Alexander, Anthony Lucas, Mason Cobb, Jamil Muhammad, Eric Gentry, Jaylin Smith.
The Michigan fan bias shit is annoying.

No way is Michigan going 1 loss lol. That was a generational team and it's gone
typically enjoy your analysis but i beg to differ as it relates to how good you believe Michigan will be versus how bad you project Washington to be despite both teams losing a vast majority of their big players from last season as well as their head coaches. Projecting one of those two teams to have a floor that is two wins greater than the other teams ceiling seems lazy at worst, willfully negligent at best. Also, Washington was not a 'severe' underdog to Texas last year as you stated, that's blatantly and provably false.
The majority of analysts were picking Texas to beat Washington and the spread was -5.5 Texas. Washington was not a severe underdog, but they were certainly an underdog and the media was heavily siding with Texas before kickoff.
In regards to the Michigan vs Washington comparison, I see where you are coming from and it is a fair critique. My pushback would be that Michigan's team chemistry will likely be higher, they have more talent and better strength and conditioning, and they return many more 2-deep contributors that Washington does from 2023 (and from a team that was multiple touchdowns better than Washington). However, Washington does have more experience at quarterback and also a good coaching staff, so the margin between these two teams could be much closer than I am predicting. We will know a lot about these two teams and close they are to each other after their showdown in Week 6.
I agree with Sam's response that Michigan was a far deeper team than Washington, so despite losing similar amounts of players/coaches Michigan is in a far better position to succeed in 2024. Not recognizing that seems "lazy at worst, willfully negligent at best." 😂
@@MaizeBlueMichigan Having a 'deep' team implies having players who produced previously, 'Returning Production' quite literally means 'players returning who have produced previously'. Both teams having quite literally the same percentage in 'returning production' should tell folks with common sense that there are a lot of unknowns on both teams. That's my gripe in predicting ones ceiling as being two wins less than the other teams floor despite the same level of 'unknown' as it relates to their returning production.
@@collegefootballwithsam totally fair in terms of chemistry given the coaching situations at each school respectively and potentially strength and conditioning, that is a bit of an unknown for UW as of yet. I'm not understanding the rationale behind 'more 2 deep contributors' however. Does 'returning production' not encompass those '2 deep contributors' as well? If so, your own stats suggest that both teams are returning the exact same amount of '2 deep contributors'. Also, does this take into account additions through the transfer portal? Adding a Will Rogers and especially a Jonah Coleman and a no longer injured Cam Davis make me think UW has a bit more 'returning experience' than most believe despite that experience not all coming while at Washington.
I cannot wait for the matchup in week 6 and have tickets lined up already, should be a great atmosphere!
@@ats3216 tbh I'm not very familiar with many of Washington's back ups from last year, but based upon the game's that I watched it seems many if not all of the star players from Washington's squad last year have left, whereas Michigan returns their two best defensive tackles as well two rotational pieces at edge that played very well, the best corner in the nation, best tight end in the nation, and a running back who I think can be one of the best in the country as well. Those players on top of the fact many other starters this year have some degree of experience and are mostly blue chip recruits makes the team conference contenders. I don't think Washington is in as good of a position from what I've read, however my knowledge is more limited. It'll be determined this season though when the two teams face off, and I predict the Wolverines will win handily.
Appreciate your takes. GBR

Reply to your comment after Michigan beats Texas
Michigan will lose to Texas and Ohio State, but upset Oregon at home and lose a game they shouldn't!!! 9-3 at best!!! No playoffs 😢!!! WE ARE
I see Xichigan in a down year this year. I just can't see anyone in the Big Ten challenging Ohio State except for Xichigan. I see a 2 loss regular season for Xichigan and a 2nd loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. I think that the Weasels' game against Texas will show us a lot. Ohio State will win the Big Ten but the Buckeyes will beat Xichigan in the Big Ten title game... not Oregon or State College.
Go, Buckeyes!!!!
@@kevinchandler179 Michigan not even beating us you drunk fam 😂😂😂
I appreciate the time and deep research you put into this.
I still think the BigTen will be incredibly difficult to predict this year, considering all the new teams, new (or 2nd year) coaches, transfers in and out, something like 14 teams starting new QBs, etc.
as a Michigan State fan, I certainly hope you are correct. I know you are a Michigan fan and you try to be very fair with your assessments of MSU, and sometimes I think you try to be too kind to MSU. I agree MSU’s ceiling is 9-3, but I think the floor could be 3-9, and my prediction of 6-6 still makes me nervous when Vegas has the O/U at 4.5.
Minor correction: MSU’s week three game vs. Louisiana was canceled, and replaced with Prairie View A&M-obviously won’t change your predictions.
Don’t agree with all of your takes, but the quality and discussion is excellent. Always appreciate it.
Thank you, Frostassassin. I try my best to be in-depth. What take did you disagree with and agree with the most?
@@collegefootballwithsam Not sure I buy USC taking that having that difficult a time in the Big Ten. The defense won’t improve overnight, but USC does have talented players on their defense (if you go by recruitment rankings). I think the scheme changes from their new DC will bear fruit faster than they would at most other schools because of this. With that said, it’s true that Lincoln Riley’s offense tends to negatively impact his defense due to TOP, so I see where you’re coming from. I think I see them more as an 8 or 9 win team.
I like your Rutgers take a lot, I see them in the 8-10 win range myself. I do think Athan may be better than people think this year as well. Reports from camp seem to indicate he’s been pretty proficient at throwing the ball.
Oregon behind Iowa and Penn State is the biggest L take I've seen yet. You're essentially saying Oregon doesn't even deserve an at-large playoff bid with that ranking, when they are quite clearly a top 2 team in the conference. I thought it was bad enough seeing some guy put Oregon 6th in their top 25 poll, but this is basically east coast bias at its worst.
I think Washington goes probably 6-6 or 7-5, giving them zero games between week 4-11 is a crazy take with the quality of coaching there imo even if they are new. That combined with a solid portal I think they win at least 2 of those games in that span. 1 against USC at home and 1 or 2 of @ Indiana, Rutgers,Iowa
Top 5 teams b4 bigten title game
Ohio st 12-0
Oregon 11-1
Penn st 11-1
USC 11-1

Man. TTUN with a top o line? With no returning starters in that unit? That’s a hot take

Too high on Michigan
Didn’t realize how cupcake Iowa schedule was. Those lucky SOBs
Oh yeah, everyone thinks "the Big Ten west is gone haha Iowa will suck now", but they won't. Even if they played let's say Michigan/Penn State/Oregon instead of Washington, I would still have Iowa going 10-2 and maybe 11-1 still, because if they hosted those teams I would not count out a good Iowa team at home.
@@collegefootballwithsam you don’t think your expectations for their offense are a bit too high? I would bet $1000 on each of those games Iowa losing all of them. Unless they proved to not be a huge liability on offense.
It doesn’t matter. Iowa got a super lucky schedule. They should be favored in all of them except possibly Nebraska depending on how they’re doing injuries wise.
Iowa sucks
I have to hard disagree with you on Iowa and Rutgers you said something about northwestern winning a bunch of close games 5 of iowas wins were by less than 7 points vs middling opponents you can also dig a bit deeper and show that 8 of there 10 wins were by 10 points or less. And I doubt Cade McNamara will be above average. And for Rutgers athen is just so bad i watched him in person struggle to throw the ball vs eastern Michigan and watched him play 2 years of middling offense.
Sam I love your vids brother and love what you do. Awesome analysis always. I get what you are trying to do with having video now of yourself. One thing I will say is, if youre going to have your face on video to potentially maybe get recognition and a gig out there hopefully one day (Cause I believe you 100% can do it), atleast be presentable. Get rid of the hoodie, get a haircut, shave and give it your all. You got this

Stay away from a casino man.

I don’t see why you don’t just run a military school like triple option offense if you are Michigan. You have all the pieces for it and your weakness is in the passing game.

The USC disrespect is crazy. This is a very different team than last year. If they even go 7-5, Riley gets fired. SC is going to shock a lot of people

@@Growthandquotes I know a lot about this SC team, they look completely different than last season. They gained 1400 pounds this off-season. I could see 8-4, but not 5-7. If they go 5-7, SC better quit playing football.

@@SpencerBringhurst how exactly, this is a conference where offense is nearly non existing. SC hired a great DC who made UCLA a top 10 defense in one year from 90th defense, and they did it vs good offensive teams

I feel like sam would be a great villain in a movie. He always looks so menacing idk what it is.
Michigan is losing to Texas for sure. Then mostly likely Oregon and then definitely OSU. 9-3
I think that is a very possible outcome for Michigan. The only reason I put 9-3 as their floor and not 8-4 is after Ohio State, Oregon, and Texas, the next toughest team they play is probably USC or Michigan State at home, and Michigan matches up incredibly well with them.
Wrong michigan hasn't lost in ann arbor since 2020 no way either texas or oregon is going too beat michigan at home 😅😅😅 texss lost to Washington we slaughtered them oregon lost to Washington twice lol
@@collegefootballwithsam I just think Texas will be improved from last year and I expect Michigan to take a slight step back. I think people underestimate Oregon. They are a top 3 B1G team right now. When it comes to teams of those caliber we’re talking about 3 point margins mostly. It’s not a stretch either way you slice it. My gut just says 9-3. 10-3 overall.

NW Coach was stupid getting rid of that OC. Why would you break up a coaching staff that just worked magic?
The outgoing OC had had 4 years to develop a quarterback, and never got the job done. His winning QBs were guys he rented from the portal. His offenses statistically were quite bad. Lujan has already recruited QBs in both the '25 and '26 classes.
Yea Sam you tripping the secondary players we have coming in this year are wayyyyyyy better than our DBs from last year tell us you scared of us without saying it!!! Last time we went to Ann Arbor we stomped Michigan 😭😭
So... USC wins at Maryland? I'm not so sure. I'm sorry, USC fans... I'm not from Missouri but you have to "show me". I think that the out west teams are in trouble this year.
Michigan is not beating Texas. 😂
michigan can’t steal signs anymore. Their own coach deleted 52 messages with Connor Stallions. Don’t expect them to be “good” again.
Don't worry, Michigan will be great for years to come and Jonathan Smith will find ways to beat them while also building a great program in East Lansing. There will be a Top 10 Michigan vs Michigan State game soon, the question is when, not if.
Always my favorite video of the year

OSU has 4 players being all American 1st team Michigan ofcourse has 5 lol 😂 Michigan literally got lucky last year too many times in that game , not to mention McCord hand yall. 7 points at the beginning of the game. This OSU team aren’t even thinking of lil blue anymore yall cheating like tht to ruin some of the best QB play ever at OSU (CJ Stroud) it’s gone from a rivalry to destroy them by anyway you fight dirty then well pick up studs thru the transfer portal and recruit like Michigan has never seen, we have 5 QBs who’d start at Michigan all our WRs would start hell you’d take our offensive linemen now. And our entire defense would start at lil blue your old beloved Cheater coach jimmy bloodied the water, rivalries usually have some respect for the other OSU players don’t respect the coaches at Michigan and your not gunna want to watch in November once we take you out of the playoffs with that 3rd loss.

Love your content and I think your takes are usually very measured. I am really not sure how you think Michigan will be 13-2 with distractions, a partially new staff, questions at QB and a rookie(ish) HC. I think their floor is 8-4 with a more likely 9-3 record that would be 10-2 with an easier schedule. Until James Franklin wins a big game I can’t bet on him. I’m much higher on Oregon with you, I don’t know that the big 10 is ready for them. Also, my Spartans dropped Louisiana, we are playing prairie view a&m.

As a michigan state fan, i have them at 6-6 with a upset win
That is a reasonable opinion. Beating Iowa off of the bye, or Rutgers at the end of the year is the most likely major upset win. Those are followed by winning at Michigan, beating Ohio State at home, and beating Oregon in Autzen.
@@collegefootballwithsam yup
Wow! Washington is in for a major drop if Sam is right. The Big Ten move looks rough right now.
Is Wisconsin at Nebraska really an upset if Nebraska hasn't beaten Wisconsin in a decade and is also a weaker team on paper?
Michigan won't make it passed the first round in the playoffs if they even make it
Keep sleeping on this o line. Just wait. Word is they are amazing
The Big Ten is way tougher than the Pac-12 was. It's just true. Just wait until those out west teams have to go to Purdue and think that they have an easy win.... at Northwestern is never easy either. Those teams put beef grease on the field after forgetting to cut the grass.
Rutgers with two losses regular season GETS them into the B1G championship IMO. IF they somehow win that or play a close game, I think they will definitely be in the playoffs. Actually they MIGHT have a better shot at making the playoffs than the B1G championship.
It will interesting to see the B1G tiebreakers for the championship game, BUT think it will be very hard for any of the teams that have to play each other to go unscathed l. I could see a lot of two losses at the top. For all the talk about Rutgers having the easiest schedule in the B1G, which is true, PSU basically has the same one just swapping out OSU vs say Wisconsin. The remain games are very comparable.
Either way great breakdown, although I think you have PSU and UM too high. I think OSU is probably the best, but vulnerable and I think Oregon will come out hot but wear down and have some losses in November. PSU will not go undefeated… WVU takes them week 1…
Solid takes mostly.
Too high on Michigan, MSU, Nebraska Buttger. Too low on Northwestern. But overall good assessment.
(Sorry for spelling and gammar mistakes. I used speech to text because I suck at typing)
I'm sorry if someone has already said this but I have not seen it posted so I'll just correct an error and that is OSU doesn't play Southern Miss they play Akron also Penn State beating OSU I feel like that is a hard reach due to the fact that they've only beaten OSU once in 2016 and also I feel like Michigan going 11-1 is a little bit of a reach there are so many questions for me especially when it comes to the coaches and they've lost a lot of great talent defensively they're going to be phenomenal I have them in the top three best defenses in the nation only behind OSU and UGA I feel like OSU in a Rose Bowl will have them win again because it's hard to do what Ryan they did his first year and you're now saying that more is going to be better than they was that's kind of going to be hard as a first-year head coach it's hard to just make playoffs let alone go in and win several games.
Your wrong again Ohio State will beat Penn State
As a Michigan fan, the thing that surprises me most about this video is you have Texas missing the playoffs. I can see them losing to Michigan, but who else do you think they fall to in the regular season?
Dudes never played a sport in his life lol
there's an error with USC where you have the going 6-7 with a bowl game win. that's impossible because they only have 5 regular season wins which isn't enough to go bowling
I explained that I think there are not enough bowl eligible teams to fill bowl slots, and since USC has had a very impressive APR over the past few years, they would get an invitation.

There’s no way USC is loosing that many Big10 games. I can see loosing Penn State and Michigan but Rutgers and Minnesota?? I think you’re really underestimating the former Pac12 teams. I guess we won’t know until the games are played.
Like I said in the video, I hate my USC pick. If there is any predictions that I make that I will encourage you to disagree with, they are ones that relate to the Trojans. I have no read on the program and they clearly have depth issues, so that is why I am picking them to perform so poorly. If they go 8-4/9-3/10-2, that wouldn't shock me as long as the losses were to Michigan and Penn State. I also think that Riley isn't going to be fired barring a disaster worse than the one I predict, and that USC will be strong in 2025 with most of their starters coming back.
@@collegefootballwithsam good points
As a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan, I do think Michigan and my Nittany Lions 🦁 have the best two defensive lines in the nation!!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled
Michigan and pedo state U have the best Dlines? Who has the best defense? Who is going to beat both of you and win a Natty OSU! Keep dreaming losers yall needa get on that cheating like Michigan if u wanna turn around ur team for 3 years and then have shit recruiting forever cuz no player wants to go to a school they aren’t sure if what they did on the field made the difference or the cheating did, go look at Michigans recruiting for 25
Stop being a homer Michigan's best case scenario is going 9-3. More likely 8-4
Homer 🤣🤣🤣bruh he has pen state winning the big ......get out your feelings suckeye
Ur mad they “ cheated “ aren’t u 😂
He’s a Michigan fan
Put down the pipe
@@devon303 I personally don't care about Michigan "cheating" i still think they are significantly worse than last year with a harder schedule than last year.
Interesting.
W predictions.
Thank you!
He will be surprised by the new teams from the west coast. Oregon, USC, Washington and UCLA will show you something.
Show us what a crappy conference y’all came from.
Good show 😂
Thank you!
Yhat MSU case against Tucker was shady af. 😂
Michigan ain’t beating both Oregon and Texas
Nebraska will beat both Wisconsin and Iowa, the script flips this year against these two. We are Way Due
On folk. Bro I feel you toon
On Foenem
This man said Iowa can compete for the B1G title but said Oregon won’t make it yea Sam I gotta unsubscribe after this video fam you must was drunk recording this 😂😂😂😂😂
Oregon will be far better than Iowa, but Iowa has an easier schedule and by virtue of having one fewer loss, they will finish ahead of Oregon in my predictions. I do think Oregon can compete for a National Title, which Iowa is incapable of, but if an inferior team has an easier schedule than a superior team, they can finish ahead in the conference placements.
You get butt hurt pretty easily. Better get used to it, you’re in a real conference now, won’t be long and you’ll be the Oregon State of the Big 10.
Hating on UCLA Check your stats bro lol!!!! We went 8-5 Crushed USC and Boise St, in the bowl game at the end of last year.
As a PSU fan, i just dont see us beating Ohio State, they are absolutely LOADED. 10-2 is realistic, USC is concerning. We have questions at WR.
Nope 11-1 at worst!!! WE ARE
@@kevinchandler179 I hope you're right.
@@CharlesBolton-yf7eg I hope so as well, but I think the defense will be elite again, and the new OC will get the offense fixed and playing dangerous!!!! WE ARE
Oregon 12-0
I think that will happen if Oregon's defense is a Top 5 unit, or if Ohio State and Michigan are worse than I think they will be.
Michigan SHOULD have a great QB to pass on portal, like pursuing McCord from Syracuse. Maligned by RUclips McCord was 2nd team All B1G - like JJ ‘22 - and had far better game v MI than Penix, etal. And one drive short of beating MI in Ann Arbor. Someone SHOULD be good to great from MI QB room - Ruddock Speight Cade all were at least Honorable Mention All B1G - which currently maligned by RUclips - that quality should be good enough to get a few playoff wins . But WHO? If NOT, Moore Campbell really didn’t do their jobs in portal or development!!! If this room is Forcier or Peters quality - that’s really on the Coaches. This team with poor quarterback play - is 100% a MAJOR COACHING FAIL in planning, portal and development. So expect excellence at QB and a great year - or someone or two didn’t do their coaching jobs.
Rutgers being all world and Maryland suckin hard this season, what a podcast…
How is Oregon behind penn state Michigan and Iowa this makes no sense how is Iowa especially in front of Oregon 😅 Sco Ducks
Ever since Sam made me eat my words last year as a Bama fan, I 100% trust his opinion on the B10.
Stop, as a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan, he got lucky with 1 year!!! Even the sun shines on a dogs 🐕 ass once in a while!!!! Lol WE ARE
@@kevinchandler179 He broke teams down very well last year, and gave great insight on matchups. Obviously he’s not always right with the lower teams like NW, but nobody could have predicted that.
I do think he’s a little high on Michigan this year than he should be but one thing is written in stone. Michigan will beat PSU
@iraxks0341 They don't play us genius!!!! Bye Felicia 👋, you have been kicked off the island 🏝
@@kevinchandler179 I realize that. It’s a general statement. As in we know the result if you do see them. Death, taxes, PSU losing big games.
I’ll gladly leave the “island” 💀 I hope you don’t try to be this witty irl man. It’s bad.
@iraxks0341 Just because something hasn't happened doesn't mean it never will buddy!!! Also, why are you bagging on my Nittany Lions 🦁, you are a Bama fan, right?
👀 GTFO if Penn st goes undefeated I may have to send you a monetary 🎁 at end of year!
Let’s just say it penn state is know way the best team in the big ten Ohio state is going all the way the return everyone on defense except two players they Penn state beat like six years in a row this is the most loaded team in college football not to mention they got all American safety Josh Downs this team isn’t losing to Penn State
