Josh Pate On CFB's Top 15 Programs: NEXT 3 Seasons (Late Kick Cut)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- College Football's top 15 programs over the NEXT 3 years are...? That was the question on Late Kick Live Ep 528 as Josh Pate considered on-field results, talent acquisition, resources, and culture to project how things will shake out. In the SEC we'll certainly see UGA, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee and others continue to roll. What about Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma? Does Ohio State run the Big Ten over Oregon, Michigan, and Penn State? Notre Dame continues to climb as does FSU. Where are Clemson and Miami in the next 3 seasons?

What are your thoughts about usc and Washington
War eagle 🦅 Auburn jujulewis!!!
@@justinsmith1473 It's going to be like the NFL. You don't know with all the recruiting and transfers
Miami being top 15 is a 9.75 on the boldness scale
Miami has everything they need outside of fans. I think Miami has lower Attendance as Vanderbilt and really that fanbase is non existent. Fake fans who dont support their team when they play.
😂😂
You are ignorant!
Trust me, if they had been winning, they would be top 5 easy.
@@briancalhoun279 3 yrs from now.. which is the entire point of the video. Miami met 2 outta 3 of the criteria: recruiting and portal acquisitions. Each year Miami has improved, year 3 is going to say a lot about the program. Miami is trending up..
Miami over Ole Miss and Mizzou? Nahh
Rightttt either of those teams at 4-3 would DESTROY Miami at 7-0
Mizzou lol😂😂😂
Follow recruiting. You're in denial. Miami is spending money on the football program for the 1st time ever. It won championships without spending money and got left behind when the powerhouse programs spent money over the last 20 years. Financial commitment to the program is in Cristobal's contract. South Florida is one of the most talented areas for recruiting. It's just silly to think Miami won't be a national power again. Alabama won championships with South Florida players. Clemson, Georgia, and Ohio State as well.
Mario Cristobal is the best recruiter before and during NIL. He's at his alma mater recruiting in the mecca of high school football. Do the math.
@@kevink3349You must not watch much football.
@@shawnandrews329Like TAMU, forever. Doesn't necessarily equate to trophies and Titles.
Not that it hurts, mind you.
Born and raised in Bama Roll tide all the way big shocker for me was seeing Miami make it in the top 15 and not ole miss 🤯
Yeah that’s definitely a head scratcher…🤔
Free FSU! Go Noles!
As an ND fan having us at 7th feels great!
Weird having Utah in the thumbnail but not mentioned.
Pate State kinda rhymes with Click Bait
What is the point of watching the video if the thumbnail tells you everything
Thumbnail shouldn’t be misleading
@@caseygardner4406 agreed. Utah & Ole Miss aren’t blue blood enough to make the list despite all of the success. Blind resume it’s a no brainer for both schools.
Click Bait Pate back at it again 😂
This won’t age well, @ All.
Two teams I think could be in the discussion are Ole Miss and Utah
If you do interviews with Josh and let him work out with the players you make the top 15😂
Kinda surprised that Utah isn't within this Top 15! Especially since they're pre-season picked to win the Big12 this season!
Maybe if they hadn’t lost their last 5 bowl games. 🙄
@@jeannine1991then leave Oregon out too, because Utah bullied the fuck out of them repeatedly.
As a Duck Fan, I have to agree.🦆
Big 12 is a second rate conference. Way moreso than even last year. You can win it all you want and still be a bad team.
@@dgraham031588 If Cam Rising returns to his 2017 form Utah might be dangerous
LSU was way too low. No Ole Miss is kinda crazy too.
He doesn't want to be called an SEC homer so he made a shit list of sub-par teams to placate the lesser conferences. What a joke. This is the worst ranking I've seen
And Brian Kelly is the question mark at LSU, he’s doesn’t fit the culture… Great damn job to start tho, borderline unreal
@@traehelton5585
How doesn't Brian Kelly not fit the culture?
@traehelton5585 Culture fitting be damned, any program would pay top dollar to bring in a new head coach that proceeds to lead said program to back to back double digit win seasons in his first two years after the previous coach tanked the program following a Natty.
@traehelton5585 winning is the only "culture" that matters.

I love the disrespect for OU.
Especially that stacked defense that no one respects...
Amazing!
Boomer! They’re being slept on for sure. I just hope they get a level playing field from officials, since the conference has already given them the league’s toughest schedule with several of their toughest opponents having bye weeks before OU. If they stay healthy on the Oline, don’t get screwed by officials, and take care of the football on offense, there isn’t anyone they can’t beat. I know Georgia and Alabama are more talented, but the gap isn’t as wide as people think.
he has them as a top 8 program over the next 3 years, I wouldn't call that being "slept on", just saying...
No one but people who have actually watched Oregon believe they are good. The basic SEC fan will say Oregon is trash even after Oregon makes the next 5 playoff tournaments. They might concede after the 6th
As an OU fan it's not disrespect at all, we haven't proven enough to be higher than that since BV has been here
Josh - Auburn Tigers rising. AU will be beating several of those in your Top 15.
Definitely a head scratcher, Hugh’s going to have them competing for SEC titles soon.
3 years is a window. That is not long enough to be considered a top tier program. That could be one great player. Give me a real bold outlook. Next 10 years.
Great video
Josh, LTL/FTC. Love your work. Never miss a show (live if I can). Also an LSU guy.
A ranking of 11th, on its face, seems low. You suggested there were “internal alignment” issues. Then said (paraphrasing) “I won’t discuss it.” Deferred to “local best.”
I think that was a very easy thing to do, but also a bit of a cop-out. If you’re going to pick your hill, stand by it. What if local beat doesn’t agree? What if they just won’t take the bait (don’t want to be negative, could lose a degree of access)? A couple of the top local guys know me well enough to engage via DM, but that’s about it (I.e. not an insider _at_ _all_} and I’ll poke around. But if you’re gonna take a perennial T10 team and leave them out, and then smirk out of an explanation, it seems unfair and a bit neglectful of a core base that generally likes and supports you.
Please consider elaborating. I generally agree with your LSU takes, and just love your takes in general (“haven’t vs. can’t” is right up there for me, next to “don’t say you’re sorry, _act_ sorry”).
Could you please step up and elaborate?
Or would you offer the courtesy of a DM? IG: Rougaroux228
(prefer IG as I prefer _not_ to patronize a major communications platform run by a self-described “free-speech absolutist” - a bridge too far, imo).
Regardless, THANK YIU for all the great work you do. [I have a PS Store merchandising idea if you’re ever interested).[
He doesn't want to be called an SEC homer so he made a shit list of sub-par teams to placate the lesser conferences. What a joke. This is the worst ranking I've seen
Mississippi? Their current roster is top ten and they aren't going to fall off.
Have you seen their recruiting? How can they NOT fall off? You gonna just build a team of transfers every year? They win this year again and start recruiting in the top 10 then you may be right.
@@JSum81 Kiffin has put together a winning team each year. No one on any roster is guaranteed to return.
He hasn’t been really competitive since the 2020 Bama game and they lost how many games that year?
I'm a Ducks fan, and I'm *BAFFLED* that Miami made it in over Ole Miss..
Let’s get it!!! Go Dawgs!!!!!!!❤️🖤
Solid list. Im a die hard fsu fan and only think we're 10 or 11 but I like your enthusiasm
Ole Miss not being top 15 is crazy ngl
Being consistently in the top 15 when you have to portal in the majority of your starting roster every year is a crapshoot. The teams listed in the top 15 at least have some recruiting ability for the high school level
I’m guessing Utah just missed the cut on account of the block UU in the thumbnail?
Hey Josh, if Utah Started recruiting in the top 20 consistently.. would they be top 15? Top 10 even ?
At the end of the season, no ACC team will be in the play off. It will be filled with B1G ans SEC teams only. ESPN has spoken.
9.8 on the boldness scale
Lol just by definition that is an idiotic thing to say aloud on here what an idiot 🤣🤣🤣🤡
Actually, at least one ACC team will be in the CFP. It’s in the contract. I personally see a 4/3/1/1/1 conference breakdown, barring multiple top B12/ACC teams at 11-1 with sterling overall resumes). I also think it’ll probably be SEC 4/ B1G3, but _should_ be 5/2. Even ESPN will want more diversity. $0.02
@@rougaroux228 your prediction only has 10 teams. There are 12. I think it will be 4/3/2/1/1 + ND.
@@jordanmadden7388 Fine point. 2 is ACC?
Top 10 pretty on point after that shuffle as you like it’s a toss up
Hiring a good coaching staff is the most important part. Recruiting players is easier now that schools can legally pay players.
FINALLY DUCK TIME
the fact that theres no BIG12 team on this list AT all is a casual stance IMO.
If a team like Utah wins the Big12 twice they would automatically be on this list and tbh a team like Utah would only have to win the Big12 once and do decent the next 2 years and automatically be top 15.
Y’all don’t have a future at quarterback after Cameron rising leaves
@@killersaxsolo i just used Utah as an example since they’re a trendy BIG12 team but it could be any of the top 7 teams in that conference that could pull it off.
@@PixelMstr I’m not an Arizona fan but I think they’re just as likely as Utah to win it this year. Think both of them are just on the outside looking in (Top 30ish)
LSU at 11 is criminal. Texas A&M in the top 10 is even more criminal
While I don't like it, I think it's fair.
TAMU brand and money is too big unfortunately
Dude. Where is Ole Miss
Other than Sark (who still hasn’t proven himself), What does Texas have that they haven’t always had?
Sark just won the conference championship and got Texas to a national playoff game in 2023, but he still hasn’t proved himself? What kind of hater are you, an atm or a OU?
How bout an upper staff who all get along and the power of the BMDs and Regents actually funnels through the prove, successful President and Athletic Director of the university. Remember when Texas was a "cesspool"? Well it was, and it was a tug of war between the donors and those in power. There was a weak Athletic Director in place. Fast forward to Chris Del Conte (who just won the award for best AD in the country), and he's been on fire making good hires left and right, and funneling all the support in one direction under him. Sark has fixed the standard and has implemented a success culture (Herman had a toxic culture). It was irrelevant all the resources Texas has had if all those are issues. They arent issues anymore and Texas still is second to none in resources. Thats why they are and should be top 5. I think theyre interchangeable with Oregon and the only reason that is, is because Phil Knight is writing blank checks for Oregon so he can try to get a chip before his time ends as hes currently 86yo.
Agreed. I am not impressed with Sark's track record. He has won 10+ games exactly ONCE,. History suggests he is a 7-9 win coach. Far from elite.
Hopefully all you people will let us know the exact criteria for “proving yourself”. 😂
Here’s what Texas has that they haven’t always had:
1) Proven depth, leadership and culture in every position room in the roster.
2) 3 years of coaching stability on both sides of the ball.
3) An athletic director who is absolutely coming after everyone in the country - beautifully ruthless.
Texas has finally started to figure out how to be Texas. And y’all aren’t goin to like it.
Man…..media is way too bullish on Texas. They have a good team and good coach. But they’ve had that before when losing 4-5 games in the b12
They never had good coach/teams combination since late 2000s under Mack. Trying to say the current state of the program is expected to be an example of the current state is like saying current Rome is really powerful because it once was years ago. It's a completely new staff from the President to the AD to the Coaching staff to the players. It's not remotely comparable to other years....
The media loves them some Texas, no matter their record or other variables. It’s actually pretty obnoxious.
@@teddy.d174 actually that’s not really true. There were some seasons at the end of Mack’s tenure when they got the benefit of the doubt but that was because they were really good for a lot of years so they got that winners bump. Then they lost that after a few years of mediocrity and were rarely ever picked higher than 4th to win the big 12, let alone a high rank. The only reason they were still ranked at all most the time is because they still out recruit the majority of the country and that isn’t a Texas thing, that’s just how rankings are usually done. A lot of it is based off your recent 4 years of recruited classes. So there’s nothing abnormal about the rankings other than Texas underperformed
Lol why does Texas make people so mad 😂😂😂
Shut up and play football.
I’m on board with most of it but having A&M and Miami instead of a Utah, Missouri, or Ole Miss seems off to me.
Josh likes that Aggie culture so he is blinded into not seeing what the problems are.
I’ve been a lifelong Michigan fan, and I used to think the Ohio State preseason hype was over the top. But now, this hype around Oregon is just ridiculous. They haven’t shown anything to deserve this much attention.
I'm not sure I'd put them ahead of Texas but I do think theyre top 5. The reason being, as has been reported like we are seeing with their current recruiting class, is Phil Knight is 86 years old and desperate for them to win a natty before his time ends. So he's opened up a blank check for Oregon to use in recruiting. Sheer talent that theyre getting will put them up there the next 3 years. That being said, I'm not sure if Dan Lanning will stay there when other programs may have vacant head coach positions like Florida (as a rumor) and that would change things. But for the sake of guessing, I'm going to assume he stays and Oregon and assume Phil still has a few years of infinite support to give.
Plus, now Oregon is in a conference that knows how to play defense. They aren't gonna be winning games in the BigTen 52-48!
He lost me after he puts Ohio State at three what have they done lately to be in top three schools this is a bad take
@@cameronmiller7980why would Dan Lanning Oregon? He turned down the Alabama job, so he isn’t taking the Florida job. Like you said, he has unlimited recruiting, facilities, resources and NIL money at Oregon, so I don’t know why’d he leave that.
They haven’t shown anything? Really? They’ve recruited top 5 classes 3 years in a row now, and we know recruiting is the biggest indicator of on field success. Plus they routinely finish the season ranked in the top ten, so it’s not like they aren’t producing successful results.
As an Ole Miss fan I love this show but I knew Josh wouldn’t put Ole Miss in the top 15 before I even clicked on the video. I don’t think he hates Ole Miss or anything but he’s never been super high on us in his power ratings.
For example, in his SEC rankings he did a while back, he said that he based his ranking on the PREVIOUS 3 seasons, but he had LSU over Ole Miss even though Ole Miss beat them 2 out of the 3 years and had a better record than them during that stretch.
So seeing teams like Miami and Texas A&M over Ole Miss on this ranking was no shock. If I had to guess, I think Josh must believe that Kiffin’s gonna leave Ole Miss sooner rather than later, or he believes that our NIL Collective won’t be able to keep pace with the programs that made the list. Ole Miss also doesn’t recruit high school in the top 15 so that probably hurts us a lot in his rankings.
It’s a shame because for first time since like the 60s, the media actually views Ole Miss as a legitimate contender this year, but we can’t even manage to make the top 15 of his list. It sucks but Ole Miss has never really been a perennial blue blood powerhouse so I understand I guess
I think there’s still a lot to prove for them. It seems they have seriously bolstered their lines of scrimmage but it’s mostly with transfers so will they work out? That offense is going to be dynamic so if they can get a few stops here and there they could be dangerous but can you rely on bringing in transfers every year? Lane needs to recruit the HS ranks better
100% he just thinks we don't recruit well enough for sustained success. But the Grove Collective is literally the most efficient NIL collective in the country; we'll pop off this year and next year, too. Next summer we'll be top 10 on these lists
Will Lane Kiffin be there for 3 years?
I think ole miss could make the playoffs this year, the only reason that I think he didn't put them in is the possibility of Kiffin leaving for florida after this season.
Ole Miss literally does not meet the criteria he listed for ranking the teams. They aren't recruiting at a high level, the program does not have all the resources and capabilities as other programs.
Someone in the big 12 will rise!
Does your ranking of Florida State assume the flight from the ACC to another conference?
Over looking SMU for the next 3 years, they are coming, and I am an Alabama guy
Go Dawgs 😎😎😎
I'm not arguing with your list, but there are a few notable absences I'd think about. Utah, Ole Miss, USC and mabye North Carolina come to my mind and I would argue for any of them over some teams in the list.
Go Dawgs
LSU and TAMU are solid... they should be behind UT tho... the Vols are legit
They are, UT is #5 on his list.
Even with the teams the big ten added it’s not even close to the sec and u know it just afraid to say it man
Where in the world is Ole Miss?! I would easily put them in Miami, and probably in the top 10 over LSU and Tennessee. That is shocking to me.
Having a program with a brand new head coach at #2 is pretty goofy.
What You guys think of Akron +50.5..... I got a feeling it cashes
Some weird bots here. Anyway, put me down as one of those receipts to save about Texas A&M. I will find it funny if (when) they continue to be the same as they always have and do less with more than a vast majority of others.
Also pleasantly surprised to see Oklahoma as high as they are. You seem to be different than so many other national people that just expect Oklahoma to fall apart in the years to come.
Saw this segment on the show last night. On an unrelated note, still hope the name for the tour will be the "NEW Eras" tour. It can reference several new eras for the sport, like for each of the teams, for the conferences with these new teams in them, and for the power 2 conferences to clearly start their new dominance of the sport. And a play on the name of the Taylor Swift tour would certainly make for some interesting interactions on Twitter for you.
All A&M has ever needed to do is get a good o-line that can protect their QB. 3 straight years of having your starting QB injured and you’d think that would be a priority. The last time A&M went a full season with a healthy QB was when they went 9-1 in 2020. Interested to see how that plays out this year and if it’ll be 4 straight years of QB injuries.
@@Championclips15 We had Kellen Mond for years... Our issue wasn't our o-line. Jimbo just didn't know what to do with star talent. He was the Bill O'Bryan of CFB. There were so many plays or schemes I saw that either didn't make sense or were braindead. And talent development was non-existent. I will say, our S&C and O-line coach were kinda poopy too, but I blame it more on the system
I agree. Texas A&M just refuses to admit they’re mediocre 😂
His “Renissance Tour” preceded Beyonce’s
I'm curious where Nebraska falls on your list.
They have the building blocks to be a top 15 in 3-5 years. Too soon to tell
I’m a diehard Sooner living in Omaha and I think Nebraska is the biggest winner of the new NIL. The blue bloods that haven’t faltered and fallen, like Nebraska has, were gonna be fine either way. Nebraska has a gigantic fan base that’s spread throughout the country and they are beyond thirsty to return to the glory days. NIL levels the playing field as far as convincing an elite player to go to Lincoln. I think they have the right coach who is capable of guiding them to the top and won’t be tempted by the NFL if he makes it there. The only worry about Rhule is if he significantly improves Nebraska, but can’t get to the level of Ohio State and Michigan. If that happens, Rhule might be tempted by a school like Florida. I think Nebraska plays hard nosed ball and the bad QB play that killed them last year will be cleaned up. I see them winning their first 7 games this year before the schedule catches up to them. If they can win half of their games after that, it would be a successful year and something they can build on.
I could easily see a world in which Miami and maybe even ND fulfill the college football equivalent to the Dallas Cowboys, regular season merchants who were once a dynasty that consistenly exits in the first round of the playoffs.
I would love to hear you rank the best non-bluebloods.
He basically just did. There are only 4 blue bloods lol. Bama, OSU, OU, and USC.
@@sbcbaits994
In what universe is USC, OU and OSU are blue bloods and Notre Dame isn’t?
@@sbcbaits994 Michigan??? Georgia???
What is your definition of blue blood? 100 yr old program?
@cgiii2440 I would be okay with Josh's definition of blue blood. My thoughts, if you're in the top 25 of media airtime over the last 20yrs, you're probably a blueblood.
How long will Ohio State fans back Day if he can't deliver a national championship within the next two years? I would ask Ohio State fans to consider what Meyer or Tressel would do with this upcoming season's talent.....
The expectation with what happened in the offseason is a ring in 24. Anything less would be viewed as a failure.
If Ryan Day is so terrible, why do other fan bases want him fired? The standard is always the same. This year is no different. This time next year, Ohio State will be talking about getting a Natty. Like Josh says, they are not a window program. They are able to reload.
So ur also on the Oklahoma bad wagon ur nuts
FSU at #6?
I’ll be waiting to see this defining moment you’re speaking of
I think he believes FSU will win the ACC & get a bye in the 1st playoff. 🎉 Then leave for the B1G & be a top 3 program there, as do I.😊
@@NOLES-wm3ly FSU just won the ACC undefeated and still didn’t get an ounce of respect.
This year it’s expected that the ACC and Big 12 champs will get blown out in the playoffs so I think a defining moment would be winning the ACC and then winning a playoff game after that.
@@dragonsurge1 May or may not happen this year. But it will happen soon enough. B1G takeover.🤫
@@dragonsurge1 If FSU manages to win a playoff game, especially against a team that kicked them out last year (looking at you bama and texas) then it will be a statement saying that FSU is now at the table, and you can't discuss a top program without them
Dragonsurge1 I'm not sure you have been a college football fan for very long if you don't what FSU program is capable of we're not some upstart Johnny come lately program who has never won titles
I would put Tennessee above A&M BUT, I can live with Tennessee at 12, they will be in the mix on a yearly basis...
The Tennessee love is much appreciated, Josh.
I have to vehemently disagree with A&M being included. Mike Elko might have that same pop in his first 3 years as Heupel had at UT but I seriously doubt it. He's a great guy and a good coach, but that's a stretch. I can tell you without a doubt I'm glad Mike Elko wasn't A&M's coach when we played them last year, we got lucky that Jimbo was still "coaching" when they visited.
How many of these top 15 programs are one QB injury away from McGee’s Bottom 10? I’d say the majority of them.
Oklahoma is a good program that will be shell-shocked when they play an entire SEC schedule.
James Franklin is mark richt of the SEC, good for 10 wins every year but can’t get past that one team
LSU out of the top 10 is crazy to me lol especially with the faith in the future of Texas A&M and OU I would be appalled if lsu averaged finishing behind those two teams in the SEC in the next 3 years
Off topic but as a kid (90s-2000s) I always had this “feeling” “knowing” that Texas “would be in the SEC one day” but I also felt as if “they deserved to be there already?” Like it just makes sense??? No. Just me. Well they are in the SEC now I’m not saying I seen the future😂 it’s just weird other note Go Gamecocks!🐓😎😂😂😂😂
Dude. We don't want to be in the SEC. We're here for $$$
....and to keep a&m close.
You out Texas A&M over Ole Miss?
Seems odd Utah is on the Thumbnail but not in the top 15. Culture and performance are on point. Top in the nation. But talent acquisition and resources not elite, So i’m okay with it. But why on the thumbnail?
While I think the Clemson roster is built more for sustained success over 3 years than FSU or Miami due to relative lack of roster turnover, QB play will make the difference. The past 3 years are mainly a result of 5 star QBs not living up to the hype. (Better WR play looks promising)
Your team has been in decline, you can't deny what your lying eyes have been showing you, trust me I know because I've been through it twice now as an FSU fan, Dabo better turn into a portal using Jessy or else
As and FSU fan I hate to say, both FSU and Miami have a better roster than Clemson. Norvell is best coach in ACC as well
@@bryanmoore5616 "Norvell is best coach in ACC". What is this nonsense? Guy was on the verge of getting fired now he is better than a coach that has won not one but 2 national championships....I love how people allow the talking head narrative confuse common sense. Dabo Swinney is the best program builder in College Football. No one does more with less. The narrative that the program is on the decline is a hot take and complete garbage. Last year did not start off well at all. Turnovers, bad OL coaching, and injures were the reason that Clemson did not make the playoffs. I am going to look forward to watching how all the haters address a 10+ win Clemson football program this year. I am sure they will say it was a one year wonder or some other crap like that. Dabo will just sit back and watch college football self implode and his program will be positioned perfectly.
The next up: Washington, Utah, USC, Ole Miss, Auburn...?
OSU, Oklahoma are the definition of doing so little with so much
All those SEC teams in the top 15? You know they have to play each other once in a while, right? No USC?
Gig-em aggs!
Go Dawgs!!
I think Nebraska should get honorable mention here
Lol
Oklahoma is a top ten program but jeez the schedule maker done those guys no favors this year. Texas on the other hand got dealt a more favorable schedule.
FSU has 2 winning seasons in the last 6 years based off of 2 successful portal classes. That's not sustainable thinking you can be an elite program finding a majority of your starters from the portal every year. Norvell doesn't have 1 FSU player in the NFL that he recruited out of high school. I guess he has a special skill in only developing portal transfers, if you consider that development.
Thank you for telling the truth about ND and not just regurgitating nonsense like everyone else
UTAH!!!!
You're brave doing this Josh. Lots of derangement syndrome. I'd rather be left out, and work my way in, than make list and fall away. Go Noles.
?? You rather FSU be left out and have to work their way in? You couldn't be a long time fan no way lol just being 6th is slightly annoying to me, I remember a world where we were always top 4 or 5 every yr for about 15 yrs str8
Josh i think you need a timeout and go on a little vacation. I don’t think you’re thinking clearly when you rank LSU at #11……. seriously bro take a break man.
1-5
Think Peter principle with Miami
Where are you putting Ole Miss?
Ole Miss is as irrelevant is Minnesota. One good year does nothing. Where is PJ Fleck now? That will be Kiffin in 5 years if he doesn’t learn how to recruit
If not for SEC bias no one would distinct Ole Miss from Indiana, Purdue, Minnesota, etc. Same with mid ahh Mizzou

12. FSU (bright future under Norvell but almost seem content with being “good” after years of being BAD/2024 will be underwhelming DJ is not the answer/portal focused recruiting could see short lived success but hs recruiting has been mediocre)
13. TEXAS A&M (infinite resources /strong culture under Elko will be vital/competing with other SEC teams for talent and wins will be difficult/still see them as 5+ years out from being a contender)
14. UTAH (not going anywhere/will be the playoff favorite from the Big12 until Wittingham retires)
15. USC (Lincoln Riley offenses can always compete/talent will always be on campus/Big10 schedule is the killer/fringe playoff team with 2-3 losses every year)
next up (no particular order):
OLE MISS (window team/lack of culture w/ constant roster change)
PENN ST (always solid but always seem to lack significant offensive talent QB/WR)
WASHINGTON (confident in new coaching but the first few years in competitive BIG10 may be too much to handle right away)
MISSOURI (current roster is great but should be a window team with some down years mixed in)
AUBURN (promising talent acquisition and coaching but the schedule will always be tough)
MIAMI (talent is always there but development has been VERY poor/culture problems/heavy roster turnover every year will be hard to manage)
Honorable Mentions:
NC State
Arizona
Kansas State
Virginia Tech
Florida
So...lol basically you just name the top 15 teams that are normally the top 15 teams LMFAO
Who has Florida state played ?
Oregon is the new NILU. They grabbed so much of the top talent in the portal and won a couple of recruits that were widely known as being very NIL focused. They will be a top program for years with their collectives and Lanning at the helm.
Top program that continues ro lose to the same teams they always lose to. If money guaranteed success, the Yankees would be undefeated
Hey, Josh, you are slowly coming around on Oklahoma. But, yes, you are too low on them. They will be top 5 in the next 3 years with a Natty. IYKYK!
Missing USC, Utah, Ole Miss
Where's OLE MISS been the last 3 years?
Most of this list is right on but to turn a blind eye to what Lane Kiffin doing just shows some type of basis
I pray you got someone in the top 12ish and where ever you have Kentucky switched up... Honest mistake
where tf is wisconsin
With the portal, they way it is, things could change. There are programs that don't have the riches as some schools but, they could change the landscape. With the right picks, quickly.
Michigan being overlooked again
As always
Has Alabama (with a new coach) at 2 for “reasons” and Michigan at 9 coming off a natty because of a new coach 🤨
The cheating has been exposed, back to being irrelevant.
HOW are they overlooked but in the top 10 and they just won a Chip? Surely you don't think they are best in class, because they aren't. However, let them win another Chip and I will apologize. Good luck
I don't like it either with you guys taking the new coach penalty while Bama is expected to not miss a beat apparently but Bama guy was left the most loaded roster Mich lost most of the guys who won the Title and he thinks that Bama coach is better than yours
I would take out Miami for sure ole miss or the quiet but massive rebuild luke fickel is doing at Wisconsin may shock everyone.
You should do a Top 15 programs who do less with more. By far #1, Texas A&M. Perennial Top 5 recruiting. Perennial Top 5 meh.
Miami? Well, it's official. Pate State does not do drug testing.
I sure hope that the Utah Utes prove you wrong. Once again the underdog. That's OK. Kyle Whittingham thrives as the underdog.
Just imagine if Dan lanning took the bama job
just imagine if they took the guy that beat lanning twice in one season with worse talent acquisition
Why did he crown Georgia as the top program but in his cfb playoff prediction video he heavily undermines GA
Josh has said in the past that he thinks Napier is the right guy for Florida. You can’t think that and also think he won’t get them to a top 15 program, unless you think Florida doesn’t have top 15 potential and shouldn’t have top 15 aspirations, in which case you simply don’t understand Gator football.
Klatt for the dub
