Wow, that want “kinda chalky”. You literally picked the favorite/higher seed to win every single game! Could have saved us 25 minutes and just said, “I’m taking every favorite to win every game in every round.” Combine those brave picks with fantastic insight like gold chains on picture day, and now you’re really cooking with gas!
So much chalk... I'm choking to death
Pen state is a lower seed then Boise
@@westonmorgan1337 Penn State would be the betting favorite over Boise by 7+ points, that’s not picking an upset
@@westonmorgan1337 Lower seed but higher ranking
Hater
i think the vols win, yes i’m a vols fan, but i just think tennessee has a chance
We 100% do - Nico has to show up, the receivers need to not drop passes, Dylan has to eat, and the defense has to play like they have been. A pick from McCoy would be legit as well.
@ and honestly, i don’t see dylan sampson having a bad day if nico does, or if dylan has a bad day nico will be on fire, they can kinda rely on eachother, it’s the defense we need, JPJ and norman-lott getting some qb pressures, and force will howard to make a bad throw, and mccoy and brooks will have a field day
Go vols tired of hearing ohio states the best when they havnt proved it I'm an oregon fan myself and I'd much rather see the vols not because they are an easier team to play. But because I want to see ohio states true actions be seen by everyone not their potential being graded
@ my vols have been robbed of a home game. ohio st as a 21pt favorite, and lost to a barely bowl eligible team on THEIR OWN FIELD. either way, vols gonna have a field day. if they struggled with michigan, tennessee will be fine
@@wImpulse2 I love it!
Gunner has been in the system for three years. He is ready. And thanks for picking against the Dawgs LOL
Just what I was about to say! When they gone learn?
As if This is even last year's Georgia team! I just watched Georgia needing very favorable calls from the refs not to get upset by Georgia tech in their own house! That game went for eight overtimes! Appreciate the confidence... But I think you're just being cocky if you're really going to favor Georgia to win the national championship this season! This is not George's strongest team On the field right now!
@ramspencer5492 Do you even hear yourself? Yes, this isn't Georgia's strongest team yet, They played the strongest strength of schedule still weny 10-2 and still won the SEC Championship. One thing you can always say about them is that they have a great head coach, and he always has them in the game and competitive.
@@ramspencer5492 lol yeah a rivalry game should determine the out come of a teams season..... using that logic ohio state doesn't make it out the first round losing to 6-5 michigan
@ramspencer5492 《- doesnt realize every team changes EVERY year
Tennessee beats Ohio. And IF the don’t I will not be an Ohio state fan and run away from this comment. I will reply and say I was wrong like a man.
OSU fans are thinking that?!? Admirable sir! I'm more into if Tennessee beats OSU and Oregon as the 3rd best sec team. Would be funny asf
@@chacaabbaylee768on paper 3rd best. They didn’t play Texas over priced roster. I think TN beats Texas but on that note if TN offense is operating at 85% efficiency of its potential, TN walks them.
TN is more physical team and more team speed
@ I’m volz for life i I know Tennessee will beat ‘em and all OSU fans will win back to there closet
this comment is so dumb. 90% of college football or sports fans in general delete their comment or don’t reply when they’re wrong
Does anyone know how to write a sentence in the youtube comment section without committing grammatical errors?
if your gonna pick all the favorites no point making a 30 min video to say it lol still love the content
I agree.
It's not his fault the seeding is bad and there are too many teams included. The gap between the actual contenders and everyone else is a lot bigger than people seem to understand.
@@johnwatsoniv384keep watching
@@johnwatsoniv384y’all keep saying that like top teams don’t ever get upset. all the favorites will not win.
Not picking any upsets in 2024 is wild
And foolish
It’s completely ignorant. There are going to be 11 games, and there WILL be an upset somewhere. Without a doubt.
@@obi-wankenobi1750right! I’m thinking that if notre dame plays georgia they might sneak away w the win
I 100 percent agree Oregon wins the Natty 🏆
GO VOLS!!! Think Tennessee wins Vs Ohio State patchwork O Line their weak spot and if we contain their rungame got a good chance!!! GBO Think will be epic game!!!
Will be rooting for you guys!
Fingers 🤞 crossed
As uga fan, I'm rooting for TN to beat ohio.
@@kimbrown1352same

“Deals the pill like a shitty pharmacist” quote of the day my friend LOL!
He said shady not shitty
@@SimplexJaMaCoB I like shitty better
😮 dont go out on a ledge or anything. . . P.S. Vols are gonna beat OSU
You know how I know your bracket won't be right?
You didn't pick a single upset. Theres going to be a few. I just hope my team doesn't fall victim to it.
this isn't basketball... lol
Wdym this isnt basketball
Transfer portal made CFB fresh any team can come up and make a name. Faster than ever
Notre Dame crushes Indiana by double digits and beats Georgia. If Im Wrong, I'll be back to take the criticism
Love it! I'm here for that. 🦆😎🏈
Them Dawgs is Hell
Yeah it’ll feel like hell when ND runs all over them worse than Georgia Tech did 😂
@@bradbecker8982100% Haynes kind and Jamaal Haynes are better than ND’s QB and RB. Just wait til you see playoff UGA. Gonna be a different animal with a better QB at the helm
@@HustlerT101lol you think tech has a better rushing attack than notre dame? Both rbs avg over 7 a carry and Leonard avg over 6
@@HustlerT101nd beat tech by 3 touchdowns
@ the level that both of those guys played at against UGA, absolutely yes. Haynes king is a boss and Jamal king is very good RB. I wish Haynes had played against ND, they would know what I’m talking
Yes Oregon finally gets the big one! Hell yes.
Ima Bama fan but ND played so smooth after that crazy lose that we don't even feel like it matters that they lost
Yeah but their toughest game was probably USC. Army and Navy on paper were ranked but......
@Ryan-mx2kr nah they had no tough games but they highlights are gas can't wait to see vs good teams
@@Ryan-mx2krND fan and the can ND but last year vs OSU something different. Thing is we don't know who they are and either do they. Michigan last year played no one till Penn state. So see what happens IU is a good matchup don't think OSU is all that Best most well rounded team I've seen in years but I've watched em get smoked too many times. Brian Kelly outcoached most of the time
GO IRISH☘️💚
NCAA basketball tournament started with 8 teams. 12 years later it was 16. Can you imagine trying to only have 8 basketball teams in a tournament now? How many teams would feel left out?Parity amongst the top 25 teams will be normal in 10 years. A #12 team will have a good chance to beat a #1. 5 years, 10 years, the landscape of the game will be so different. And we will all know then that this was the right move.
GO DUCKS!!!
JD will never learn to stop picking against Kirby. My man does it every single week.
A complete chalk bracket. It won't work out this way. A favorite will lose.
Just check the point spread. No need to watch these videos. 😂
A desperate team who is starting 5 OL at different spots against a great DL is still in trouble and I think Heupel with 3 weeks to prepare vs Day gives Tenn a huge advantage
I want to believe you brother
Wow, brave takes. Favored team every time.
On3 believing in App state is like my parents having high hopes for me 😂
As a unbiased guy that I wouldn't expect the Vols to win. Because Ohio State should win this game because if they don't then it will suck if they fire Ryan Day. But yeah we just got to wait and see what happens. Also if Texas starts Quinn Ewers then I have no doubts that Texas will beat Clemson for sure. Yeah I got SMU to beat Penn State if they win the turnover battle on defense and see what happens from that scenario.
He did not choose one team that was a lower seed to win any of 11 games.
Haven’t watched yet. But I know that the final 4 will be B10/SEC schools and the other conferences will be undervalued.
If you are right and Oregon beats Ohio State, Texas and then Georgia in the Natty...
Best accomplishment in college football history
currect but Tennessee will beat Ohio State and Oregon and It'll be Tennessee that loses to Texas.
@@charlieevans4805Tennessee not beating oregon!! 😂😂
@ they beat them easy😂 Ohio state will be a tougher opponent for Tennessee than Oregon. I have the winner of that game beating Oregon regardless which one it is.
Texas isn’t beating Georgia
YES!!!! Had to wait for it but he finally picked against my Dawgs. I'll take that pick every time. Go Dawgs.
Tennessee will show the big 10 why the sec is better!
The CFP this year is going to be on the March Madness level. There Oregon is the only great team and with Georgia having to start a backup QB, anything can happen.
A month of CFB playoffs is awesome
So no upsets all favorites winning? Got it
My little girl bought 3 ducks. They grew up, and became funny little pets. All was well until my neighbor's dog jumped the enclosure fence. He killed one instantly, and was gnawing on another when I got to him. The moral of my story is this: Dawgs will ALWAYS eat Ducks.
Did you not watch the pups get mauled a couple of weeks ago?
@@beakerking7183he’s referring to the Georgia Dawgs, not UW
@JasonTriplett-v4c i know that I was referring to the ducks beating one pup already. We'll beat Georgia if we see them, they are not the same team this year.
Georgia is weak 8 over times to beat an unranked team go suck an egg!
Good luck with that. Georgia isn’t the same team as they were 2 seasons ago. Needless to say defense wins games unless offense can make them worthless. Georgia’s last title only happened cause Ohio state missed a fg and yes that was because of Ohio’s offense And Oregon has both. Georgia can’t score more that 30 a game and if they do they’re secondary won’t stop the Oregon offense. Good luck lol go ducks!
Georgia owns notre dame. Ain’t a Dawg fan alive worried about anyone coming up from that lower tier bracket to the semi’s.
GA doesn't have the wr to beat notre dame. Go Irish!
@Wonderwall627 and yall didn't have a qb either go Dawgs
I’d take ND QB over the bum Beck that Georgia has! Haven’t you guys seen him crap the bed in big moments enough? He’s not Stetson Bennett and UGA defense has looked suspect against the run and mobile QBs so I would not think ND is gonna be easy! Better UGA teams have beaten ND twice by less than one score each time
@@Wonderwall627 don't need one to win against ND.
@@JamesBarnes-bb7ilYour right about Beck but he just needs to be serviceable to beat ND or anyone we need to play until Championship game. That's when we will have a hard time
"deals the pill like a shady pharmacist" and " get under the bar" are two expressions i need to use more
Picking against the Kirby and the Dawgs again J.D.? When ya gonna learn son. Go DAWGS!
Uga,fan here, tvh i think it would be a coun toss.
? The "Dawgs" have looked pretty bad a LOT this season. 2 losses, should have lost to Kentucky, etc etc. They're not world beaters. They could EASILY lose in the playoffs. Will they? Who knows? But don't act like you're team is unbeatable. It ain't.
@@raveouscarlias4479 should woulda coulda. Every team in this CFP has played close games to other opponents they shouldn’t have and their schedule was nowhere near as tough as UGA. The Alabama team and ole miss team that showed up vs UGA would stomp every team in this CFP. UGA was injured at multiple key positions and both games were away. The world is about to see playoff UGA, and that should scare the shit out of everyone. 4-0 against the top half teams of this thing already, so when they show up and start exposing these weaker conference teams, don’t be surprised when it’s SEC vs SEC in the natty. Only team that has a shot is Oregon and I’d bet a paycheck Texas beats them
@@HustlerT101 So many goofy statements there. First of all, this Georgia team isn't scaring anyone after lucking into 2 straight wins (refs helped them both games) and one of those was an 8 OVERTIME game over Georgia Tech LOL. Not scary. Also, I doubt the SEC will even be in the championship. Texas is overrated and Georgia, as I already said, isn't tough. I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 SEC teams are bounced in their first game.
@ that’s exactly the energy UGA wants yall to have lol keep doubting. I can’t wait until gunner comes in and it’s one of those “that awkward moment when UGA finds out the back up should have been the starter all along” type of moments. Keep that same negative energy towards UGA, they are about to blast off.
Damn I love what JD said. He deals the pill like a shady pharmacist lmmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
Ohio State will carve their way into history winning against the toughest stretch ever imaginable. #oh
I think Bryant McFadden’s bracket will end up being more accurate.
Boise won 4 out of 5 games with Oregon. The one loss was a close one!!!!
We would shit on you guys now
Twice in the last decade. C'mon can't really use 2 game from 15+ years ago. Also a team from 2016, that wasn't that good
@@LynexWood-dh5zd I seem to recall the last time yall said something like this you got BLOWN THE FK OUT.......
"we would whoop you a$$" -> proceeds to get 0 first downs for 3 quarters, negative rushing yards and quadrupled up on total yards
When was this?@@MattBuild4
Incorrect you have won 3 of 4 btw the 3 times you guys won Oregon didn’t have a head coach ducks would wax yalls ass at this point in the year
Don't mess with Cam, Texas! LOL.. Go Devils. Forks up!!
Hahaha. It's good to be a fork when beef is what's for dinner!
@@DigitalsapienASU will get a ride awakening if that game happens
If Northern Illinois can win in South Bend… Indiana can win in South Bend
That’s exactly my prediction as well. I do expect one upset though.
As a Ducks fan, never thought I’d even hear that phrase before haha. They gave Oregon the toughest path by FAR, but boy would this be a special season
Ooooo this is gonna be a hot take but I actually like Ohio St to win it all.
What makes you think that?
Would be nice but they have one of the toughest paths
He picks every single favorite. Yawn! 😴
I think Ohio State wins. Gonna be close but I think OSU bounces back after that loss
You are spot on regarding Penn State. Great take
I really hope Ashton has his average game and the nation finally gets to see a game of him and realizes the media was all year long propping up Hunter but Ash is the real thing.
People just don’t watch him play or it would be obvious
Everyone saying Ohio State sucks and that they’re going to lose ALL because of their shitty performance against Michigan. As if no other team has had a bad showing. 😂
Oregon hasn't
Didn't you have Georgia over Texas, like yesterday?
Did you not hear what he just said at 00:20 ?
@@axftpkwfeg He said that he'd change things with new data.
Have any games been played that I was unaware of?
Knew exactly what your picks were gona be before you even went through it. Didnt need to even watch it. Youre wrong often so clearly this wont go how you predict.
I love your prediction!!! It seems that would be the right call. But maybe by a long shot it's Notre Dame in the championship against the Ducks!!!!
Well you picked the first 4 games absolutely correct.That means the CFP committee was correct in their rankings. Every higher ranked team beat the lower ranked team. I worry about Georgia with their backup quarterback. SMU actually played well as a team; their quarterback just cost them the game.
JD, you keep making the same mistake…. Never Bet Against Georgia!!! UGA wins against Oregon 28-19! 🤞
UGA gotta make it big dawg
I’m saying bro he don’t learn. Go dawgs
JD, you’re a knower of ball. You’ve been rocking with the Vols for a while, but you are going to eat crow come December 22nd. Vol Nation is about to turn the Shoe into Neyland North. Tennessee is going to dominate the LoS and Sampson will show up BIG next Saturday.
Bold picking all chalk the first round lol
2 years in a row for the B10! That would be AWESOME!
You really went out on a limb with this one JD!! 😆 there is no way we don’t end up seeing some upsets. I just don’t see Oregon doing it. They have been on cruise control as of late and I worry that will come back to get them
You don’t see the best team in college football whose offense can’t be stopped and who has had an excellent defense for the majority of the year to win a natty? If he said it was Georgia winning you would nod your head like a good boy and agree
JD you’re wrong so often should we even take this seriously? 😂
… and now you gave ND the kiss of death 🤨
Saying Oregon ran the gauntlet in the Big 10 is a joke ! There was no gauntlet Big 10 schedule, Big 10 was just mediocre at best this season , they beat 6-6 Washington, 5-7 Sparty, 5-7 UCLA, 5-7 Wisconsin, 4-8 Maryland , 7-5 unranked Michigan ( who can’t complete a forward pass) and a decent win over a 23rd ranked Illinois and a good Ohio State team…Gauntlet??? Go put their schedule side by side with a Georgia schedule and a Florida schedule, ( or basically any SEC schedule other then Texas schedule ( who totally lucked out on their SEC schedule, but Texas schedule is still more challenging than any Big 10 schedule. Please don’t put “gauntlet” and any Big 10 schedule in the same sentence. You are discrediting your normally good comments! 😊
Preach fellow SEC brethren 😂!!
I’m actually a Canes fan, but I just trust my eyes. I’m tired of the Big 10 hype, so overrated this season. Michigan, Washington, USC, UCLA, Wisconsin all were not nearly as good as they normally are, so you get a one loss Indiana and one loss Penn State in the playoffs? Give me a break! Just because Indiana blew out some sub par Big 10 teams, ( and were dominated by the only good team they played 38-15, and it wasn’t even that close) and Penn State, also had a fortune conference schedule, that even elevated Ohio State ( who on paper is supposedly the best roster in college football, but lost at home to unranked Michigan, who can’t complete a forward pass. Ohio State looks like they have two great wins over one loss Indiana and Penn State, but those one loss teams were very fortunate with their schedule. It all comes back to the Big 10 conference was down , no gauntlet 😅
Fair picks, to be honest.
Comparing that final 4 to the one where osu or Georgia would play TCU is absurd considering Texas has already lost to Georgia twice. What would make them believe “this is ours”? Like we knew Georgia and osu had when they played their semi final
I honestly feel like Oregon will take this.. Gabriel and Tez are just ridiculous. I don’t see anyone stopping them.
Yeah, okay, Buddy love to see Ohio state play a sec schedule
Oregon won’t even get to the semifinals.
I love how everyone just glosses right over Clemson
Thinking that SMU has the personnel to even remotely come close to an “on paper” matchup with Penn state is absolutely nuts.
So your just gonna pick literally every favorite with no upsets lmao this guys such a clown I swear this is all he does
You're just smitten with all those fancy uniforms in Eugene. 😂
I was gonna say bravo, til inrealized the ones you got right from preseason were pretry much locks. Getting the UT OSU matchup is pretty good tho. And i really think Oregon is gonna pull an NFL move and act like a team that goes 13-3 and drops first playoff game they are in
The unknown is how many injuries come from these extra games, and who’s got the depth to keep up with extra rounds of the playoff
These picks were stunning and brave 💤
Fresh Jeanty... maybe get 100yds... lol coldest take of the century
I honestly agree with every pick except Tenn/Ohio State and Georgia/Oregon
Never underestimate them Dawgs.
ND University world champion in combining academics and football program
Hate to be the one to break it to you, but it’s 2024 not 1970. Notre dame only matters to alumni, hardcore Catholic hopefuls, or the nerds in Indiana high schools that think college academic rank actually has any factor in real life success
I don’t know , Ohio st does have a lot personnel TN has hard time getting started but I think if they start with run and start showing some sec physicality they pull it off
Oregon has it in the bag. TEs too big, QB too slippery, WR core too nasty, and the defense is decent enough to get a few turnovers. My only concern TBH is giving up 100+yrds rushing. That’ll hurt us.
great take on the playoffs
The Vols can 100% win that game. But they can also show up flat, not score in the first half and lose trying to catch up. It's a toss up
I’m not one for claiming conspiracy theories, especially in college football circles, but Lanning’s 1st year with Oregon facing Georgia, I don’t buy that that game was not predetermined. The very next game, Oregon looked like a national title contender. Imagine if Lanning had beaten his old boss in the very 1st game after Georgia won a National Championship. It would have made it look like Georgia only won because of Dan Lanning. You know that Kirby Smart was not going to be ok with that, so just ask yourself what the one demand was that Kirby Smart made when he was asked if he would consider letting Dan Lanning out of his contract in order to go be the new head coach of the Oregon Ducks. Oregon would have happily gone along with it if it gave them their long term solution after the train wreck that was Mario Cristobal, who is a horrible play caller and having two head coaches in a row skip out. Sorry that game wasn’t a legit game and anyone who says it was is out of their mind.
Dude no, we just flat out got beat that day
I don’t think a lot of people realize that gunner stockton was running Carson becks offense. I’m excited to see gunners offense and I think his plan will help him pass better. Dawgs roll even with gunner at qb1
to think ohio state will come into that tennesse the same team they where against mighigan is wishful thinking for anyone that wants osu to lose. i promise you these coaches will coach like there job is on the line because it is. and these players will play like it’s there last because it will be if they lose. there gonna go the air way more and play to there advantage because i promise you the coaches been hearing the noise.
I hope I don't watch this whole video to see you pick according to the rankings.
Oh crap I did.
UT pulls off the upset
Remember Georgia won back-to-back with a quarterback off the bench and I think they might win again with another quarterback off the bench
UGA over Oregon
remember the last time oregon played georgia? i do. 49-3.
@@wImpulse2 Different year and different teams. Not a chance in the slightest you get that result this year. I’d take Oregon over Georgia this year in a very close game.
But we’ll see how things shake out.
@@wImpulse2. Ducks might make it a little closer. But yeah, Big ten football is weak
@@MBlue-sk4tr Especially with Beck being questionable going forward..
@ right, playing north wyoming state preschool, they win 63-0 and everyone freaks out
Over the history of the 4 team playoff, there was never a consensus 4th team. That we could only ever agree on 3 teams didn’t stop the playoff expansion campaign. The BSC was actually quite effective in matching the two best teams. 12 teams - featuring weakling auto-bid teams - is a farce.
So who will be the final four?
Noooo! Come on J.D! Georgia is winning it all.
If you think Oregon is even with Georgia in the trenches, you are about to find out the hard way if this plays out that way. Oregon may win, but Georgia is going to make Dillon Gabriel VERY uncomfortable the entire time. You don't understand the coaching items behind the curtain that has happened at Georgia during the year but I GUARANTEE you any team playing Georgia right now has a QB that is nervous as hell.
NOPE , TEXAS vs GA round 3
Don’t get excited we’ve already seen them choke to Georgia
If that happens bro, the committee should just call that over
@ It’s gonna happen, but I don’t wanna see it again. I’d rather see Oregon versus GA.

nah dude ducks have IT this year, they will beat everyone. Same vibe as Michigan last year, no one was going to beat them
@MM-hu3vg no one was going to beat Michigan because UGA was left out of the CFP.
@@jackashbaugh6372cuz they lost their most important game
@closetglobe.IRGUN.NW0 nah... that UGA team went undefeated 3 straight regular seasons... hadn't lost a regular season game since Oct 2020 against Florida. A 3 point loss in the SECCG game on a bs non catch that wasn't even reviewed... and we dropped from 1st to 6th in the rankings to teams who had lost regular season games. Vegas put out lines showing UGA would have been favored over every CFP team last year. Michigan won because UGA was not in it. Congrats to Michigan. They won the CFP as it was.
@jackashbaugh6372 wow now georgia fans complain about the refs screwing up
Just like they did against Ohio state in 2022.
It happens.
If bama could lose to michigan and their super seniors then I'm sure georgia could've lost too
How many times are you gonna pick against UGA before you learn JD?
I'm a lifelong Texas fan, and I am also concerned about who Texas is.
What a crazy prediction!
WEll, I am sure glad i read the comments, I jsut saved myself 24 min 52s, Tenn will Beat OSU, just because you picked OSU. On paper OSU is REALLY good, but how good is there OL vs our DL. I think our DL has somethign to prove this game and they will live rent free in Howards head for years to come!
Aren't you a bit worried that their stars will finally wake up?
I know the vols can make a deep run this year but the bucks know they're in danger of humiliation at home again
