ArdmoreRyno Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Why not do some college football rankings that will be way off by next Feb.... ? 1. LSU 2. Michigan 3. tOSU 4. UGA 5. Alabama 6. Florida State 7. Clemson 8. USC 9. Utah 10. Washington 11. Tennessee 12. Oklahoma 13. Penn State 14. Oregon 15. TCU 16. Notre Dame 17. Oklahoma State 18. Baylor 19. Oregon State 20. UNC 21. Wisconsin 22. Tulane 23. Kansas State 24. UTSA 25. Texas (because it's required by law to include Texas in the Top 25 in every pre-season poll ever created) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida State during week 1. We'll see how good these teams really are. Alabama Vs. Texas week 2. Early chance to see if the Longhorns are worthy of that ranking. Notre Dame Vs. Ohio State week 4. Huge game for the Irish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas (because it's required by law to include Texas in the Top 25 in every pre-season poll ever created) I think that you vastly underrate Texas. Their qb appears to be a good one and Sarkisian is perhaps the greatest offensive mind in colege, if not all of football. I know that we disagree but IMO, Sark enjoys the advantage of playing in a not so great conference. They play Alabama in week 2 and it will be a huge test for both teams.

If I haven't watched Texas lost nearly every season to my Pokes the past dozen or so years with the largest athletic budget in the country... I wouldn't joke about it. They are ranked top 25 EVERY SEASON and most of the time end up not ranked. 4 times they went from being pre-season ranked to having a below .500 season. 2011: 24th week 1 - NR at the end of the year 2012: 15th week 1 - NR at the end of the year 2013: 15th week 1 - NR at the end of the year 2014: 25th week 1 - NR at the end of the year 2015: NR week 1 - NR at the end of the year 2016: 11th week 2 - NR at the end of the year 2017: 23rd week 1 - NR at the end of the year 2018: 23rd week 1 - 9th at the end of the year 2019: 10th week 1 - NR at the end of the year 2020: 14th week 1 - 19th at the end of the year 2021: 21st week 1 - NR at the end of the year 2022: 21st week 2 - 25th at the end of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNY_amherst Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 15-0 team returns most their starting lineup including their best offensive player. how can you possibly not have them no. 1. Texas will finish in the top 10 and Georgia & Bama will play for the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bring back a lot of All-SEC kids, but they lost Stetson Bennett. 93% of their offensive passing yards. Also lost the leading rusher and both tackles. Defensively, they lost arguably the best player in college football (Carter), nearly the entire defensive backfield and linebackers. That's why I don't have them #1. Until Texas proves it, I won't believe it. Again... my Pokes beat them every year and we have 1/5 the talent ad less than that in overall budget.

Saying he's a "great" coach at this moment is a massive stretch. Lots of AMAZING coordinators that turn out to be average to bad head coaches. He was average to bad at Washington... he was average at best while coaching USC where he got fired and he ended up having a drinking problem... and now at Texas, he is barely above .500. So I need to SEE him win as a head coach. Don't care what he did as an assistant at Bama. I know you're a massive Alabama homer, but being a good assistant doesn't always translate to a good head coach. You know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're a massive Alabama homer, but being a good assistant doesn't always translate to a good head coach. You know this. I do, but if Saban was hanging it up after the season (perish the thought) I would want Sark to be the next head coach. We also both know that football at the college and pro level is now an offensive sport. Because of all of the rule changes it is next to impossible to build a truly dominant defense. I know that the Crimson Tide 2020 team was loaded on offense (especially WR), but I heard players rave about Sark in interviews. He is that good. Sark did have alcohol issues to be sure, but who else would I want to replace Nick? Perhaps Kiffen? Lane too is an offensive genius but he is crazy lol. The Texas@Alabama game (game 2) will tell me quite a bit about the outlook for this years Alabama team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I think Lane would be great at Bama. As you know, my youngest is at Ole Miss and the fans, students and especially players love the guy. I have nothing against Sarkisian. My exposure the past 20+ years to Texas football came to an end when they didn't include Oklahoma State on the 2023 schedule (I get why, 4-9 the last 13 seasons vs the Cowboys) so I have zero ill will against them or HCSS. Best of luck to them in the SEC, they'll defiantly need it IMO. So will OU. Looking at the Saban tree and who I'd want in order... 1. Lane 2. Napier 3. Cristobal 4. Sark 5. Dantonio (I bet he'd come out of retirement for Alabam). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
