I clicked on this video just to see if you say one good thing about the Sooners I shall see
The sooner nation will wish they never join the sec 😂
@@jamiegunter7016yeah it's going to be terrifying rolling Kentucky and South Carolina into Norman. It's not going to be a big jump. It's Oklahoma, not Oklahoma State.
Y'all barely SEC
@@jamiegunter7016 you're telling me that Oklahoma, the team with the most wins, most Heismans, most all Americans, most conference titles and only Alabama has more nattys....is going to regret moving to the sec?
You're clearly not a football fan.
OU has a winning record against the SEC...all time.
Stop talking for awhile 🤫
OU gonna run this place
As a life long Gator fan dont give me hope again this year. I fell for it last year but not this time
I’m against expanding the playoff unless they make conference championship games a part of the playoffs. Separate Power 4 and Group of 5 and give group of 5 their own playoff
Hog fan here. We absolutely are NOT gonna be good at all. We effing suck. Always have and always will. I’ve accepted that. I hate how this team embarrasses us every week. And yet they expect us to show up and support the team. 4-8 or 3-9 for us this year.
It's been rough since 2012 and it's not going to get any better I agree. Been watching the hogs since 1971 and I hate life in the SEC. We ain't one of the big boys and never will be. Makes me sick. just as you I'll always root for them though.
@@ruckanitepreacher5618Brandon Burlsworth would be rolling in his grave if he saw what his beloved program turned itnto
Are you also going to do a Big Ten one as well? That would be interesting.
no because that’s part of the media narrative remember
Let Fox do that. This is ESPN. They should be spending their time on the SEC.
Who thinks Vanderbilt if they left the Sec and joined the ACC, that Vandy would be in the mix for the ACC championship every year? I do
they’re an original member and won’t be he leaving any time soon. currently ranked in baseball
With all the old money tied to their school, Vandy could be a factor in football in the NIL era if they really wanted to.
Georgia, Alabama, and Texas should dominate the SEC for years to come. Possible challengers: Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M
I wanna see if u will even mention AU
No offense dude, but Nico's stats were against a stellar defense and better than over 85% of qbs in their 1st start especially as a true freshman, including you
This makes me want to sub to DawgProdzz fr
Oklahoma will no doubt beat Texas again next year. 10-2 ceiling and 8-4 floor next year. That schedule is rough
Do you really believe that statement?
We dont need to expand the playoff anymore
Anything less than 16 teams just doesn’t make sense. 12 teams is light years better than 4. But 16 would be ideal.
@@2xxNorMacKxx28
Worrying about the playoff teams and schedule is nonsense. The main issue is having the cell coverage at the venue so all of the ticket holders can entertain themselves with their devices. They will riot if they have to watch the game.
Go Georgia Bulldogs from Augusta Georgia 🏈🏈🏈
I don't care if there are 12 or 16 or 24 teams as long as there's no selection committee. Every playoff spot needs to be earned. The problem that D1 college football has had for a long time is that it's always been a beauty contest. Pollsters, writers, coaches, appointed officials, etc., CHOOOSE who get's the privilege to play for the title. Almost every level of football, from pee wee to high school, to the pros, have a true legitimate playoff system, except for Division 1; because of the money. So I don't care if there are 4, or 12, or 16, or 24 teams, in the CFP; as long as it's earned and decided on the field. It can be done...it's a matter of will.
As a Nebraska man expect and take a 9 & 4 year now and then. It can be worse
Y'all are winning 6 games this year at least.
Everyone, please keep hating on Oklahoma, gives OUr players some fuel.
Guess i won't bother watching the games this year....yall got it all figured out....yall right Vanderbilt junior just joined Sec
Oklahoma?
Power 2 and the other 8 is a bit of a stretch. ACC and Big 12 are still far and away better than the other 6. It’s somewhat of a tier list now of 1: SEC/Big Ten, 2: ACC/Big 12/Notre Dame, 3: AAC/MWC, 4: Sun Belt/MAC/C-USA/Ind. and tbh the SEC is still bounds better than the Big Ten. There are 8 legit top 15 teams in the SEC. And 2 top 25 teams outside that imo. The Big Ten still has the same problem they always had. It’s just 1 more team. What used to be the big 3 is now the big 4. OSU, UM, PSU, and Oregon. Now you’ve added Washington and USC to bolster the middle and I think MSU made a phenomenal higher and a great QB choice. I think they bump back up into the middle ground. But after those 7… it’s 11 pretty abysmal teams. And it’s been made clear when the top teams from the rest look good in conference play but then get blown out 63-7 (Purdue) or 35-0 (Iowa) to an SEC team that is pretty even in their respective conference. LSU being 4th in ‘22 and Tennessee being 6th in ‘23. The SEC also recruits at a significantly higher level throughout. What is currently the 11th and 12th best team in the SEC next year, Auburn and Florida, are riddled with blue chips and 5-stars. 12/16 of the SEC teams have gotten at least one 5-star the past 2 cycles and most have gotten multiple. One of the 4 that hasn’t looks primed to lock one down in 25. That’s the difference. The middle and bottom of the Big Ten doesn’t recruit or perform remotely on the level of the SEC. And the top doesn’t perform on the level of the SEC either.
The only thing I would push back on is the ACC and Big 12 being on the same tier. Big 12 too to bottom is way better than ACC. The ACC should be added to group of 5 to make it group of 6. Miami has been in the ACC and have never won the conference. Big brand name but has done nothing there. The ACC every year has to many middle of the pact teams and bottom feeders with usually only 1 team being really good. When Clemson was rolling there was no real conference challenger, when FSU was rolling the same thing, and then they add SMU Stanford and Cal all bottom feeders.
Oklahoma, you are not in Kansas anymore ! Think Wizard of Oz !
And your team is not playing Austin Pea the third week in November any longer. You get to come to Norman. Good luck.
The only storm florida has a chance of weathering will be if they can stay under the over/under on how many fellons next seasons team produces. Of course no one expects them to stay under. We all just hope they don't produce another serial killer! Let's just hope we don't see their quarterback starting to pray every chance he gets. Poor tim tebow, we just didn't understand while we gave him a hard time for praying so much. He was just constantly praying to not get murdered by one of his teammates.
People really are giving Deboer way too much credit. Not only is there no longer a gap between bama & old mess. Theres no longer a gap between bama & a lot of teams like say, Carson Newman. I hope the folks in Tuscaloosa are ready for their own version of a John L smith/Derek Dooley/joker Phillips type of coach. What's really funny is that they're definitely not ready to face the facts that for at least the next decade. Things are going to be far worse than they ever were with Mike Dubose.😁😆😅🤣😂 Roll & Hide!!
Feel bad for proud program like Sooners. Should be fine longterm bc of program strength, but 8 wins looks like the ceiling for Oklahoma in 24 with one of the toughest schedules in the conference and the country.
Yeah, that November can go sideways in a hurry. I’m excited to have them come to Death Valley this year.
@@RushFanatic87 I doubt that they're excited.
by the time they meet Florida both teams might be destroyed and limping to the finish line
I don't feel bad at all. This is what they wanted. Let them have it.
@@michaelbee2165 technically Texas roped them into this mess OU only had to tag along to not lose the rivalry game
Wish you would talk about Miami more
The "U" has been back for 15 of the last 7 years.
@@user-mg3nc6iu8tThat’s such an underrated comment 😂
Miami fans every offseason. "We are going 15 - 0 with 4 Heisman trophy winners and upsetting Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl, Ed Reid 30 for 30 5 rings Blah Blah Blah.
Once they join the SEC that could perhaps be arranged.
There is still a huge gap between teams in the power 5. Capping recruiting, NIL, and portal will go along way to evening out the playing field. CFB should be about 60-80 teams in D1 anyway. Take those teams and adopt the Euro soccer model of relegating teams.
Noooooooooo we have two years to do something about this.
Like the poin t on auburn I don't think Thorne the answer
He left out half the WR room that will also be phenominal targets. He mentioned Rivaldo Fairweather as a receiving leader last year, and he was, but he's a tight end and that room is solid too. Auburn lost not one guy in a really good RB room, and the OL will be even better. Payton Thorne is the question mark. Will he be better with better guys all around him? I've got doubts. But Hank Brown showed what he could do in the bowl game. If PT stumbles, I hope CHF wastes no time going to HB, and I hope he does it BEFORE they get to SEC play.
I am one fan who now doesn't care about the CFP. It's a lock up with certain teams and if you aren't one of them, you aren't being invited. I would prefer NOT watching either SEC or Big10 games. I realize it's personal and many do, fine. I'm not an NFL fan and now that the old regional conferences are gone, the CFP is no longer interesting to me.
I am a die hard college football fan but I feel where you are coming from. What I think is disgraceful for the sport is we allowed a team that had been caught cheating to win the championship.
why are QB names getting harder to pronounce in the past decade?
Quarterback uses laptop to make top hit hip-hop video. Completes 20% of passes and is sacked 7 times in every game. Fantastic college career, transferring 3 times and is paid more than the assistant offensive coach from Nike selling his photos to Pepsi. Vegas says he made them over $450 million over the season. Only candidate invited to LA for the new combo Heisman/Grammy award.
It’s like a really messed up game of Guess Who 😆
For Alabama One Fair Statement is there is still a lot of Talent but will that translate to Wins and losses.
Will be a totally different team
@@jayedwards4787 Team upgrades. Coaching staff is a net downgrade because of Saban, but the assistants are better. Ryan Williams, Zay Mincey, Mbakwe, Keeley, Pierre, Alexander, Hale, Haynes are all inexperienced guys with crazy talent (5*) out of high school. We haven’t even seen them take a real snap yet. Should be fun to see that talent finally able to shine.
You didn’t believe a single thing you said about the gators. “Beating the expectations of the fans” when we only expect 4 wins max isn’t a good thing
Texas should be just fine at WR. As a collective group, maybe just as good with less drops.
Vanderbilt is in the SEC just to collect checks.
Vanderbilt is in the sec because they are from the south where they belong . all the teams that are not from the south don't belong in the sec
@jamiegunter7016 I know that, I'm from the south (NC). Undergrad NCA&T Grad at UGA... They're competitive in all sports except football.
Dr. Pepper decides all of this. Quit worrying about it. They'll pick the teams from the areas that buy the most cola and put the games on right after the pro wrestling mass shooting events.
We need to keep it simple. Divide all teams into 16 conferences. If you win your conference you get in the playoffs. No selection committee. No algorithm. No opinions. The conference champs get in. Everyone else gets put in whatever bowl game.
Go back and look at the ranking of the teams OU played and Beat in the 2000 season. That was a tough streak! Oklahoma has always played top notch teams. When the Sec was down the Big 8/12 was crushing it with Colorado, Nebraska , mizzou, Texas, Texas aTm , k state . Not to mention OU has scheduled non conference games with the likes of Tenn, Alabama,Ohio state, Notre Dame, so don’t act like the SEC has always been the big dog. OU has a winning record vs the SEC life time! Yes they have lost some big games and some nattys. But OU has won 7 national titles. They have never ran from anyone. Not gonna start now. This is what OU is and has always been minus some down time in the 90’s. Remember the three over time game against Georgia! OU should have won that game. They did not. I’m not saying OU will just run the conference like they have the big 8 and big 12. But what I know is this university knows winning football. We are not atm , mizzou, or Nebraska! We are OU! Home of seven nattys! So please stop acting like OU is going to walk into the SEC bright eyed and bushy tailed! We don’t have to prove we belong ! History says we do! Texas is the one that needs to prove they belong!
I can think of two fair statements for each of the SEC teams. Losses do not matter. They all have fewer players invited to the NFL combine this year than Michigan, Washington and FSU.
I love this statement at the beginning. Texas should have never been in the championship last year in my opinion.
To which championship are you referring? The B12 whom they dominated?
@@benjaminfinley9314 no national championship.
@@Byrd21590 Um, they weren’t in the NC game
@@benjaminfinley9314 the playoffs.
@@Byrd21590 Fine, but that’s not what you said. So then who was more deserving? Texas lost by 1 score on a last second play.
Please tell me what you, as a former elite QB, possibly see in Peyton Thorne??? He is a coward. Can’t blame that on not having Elite WRs. Why is he still QB1?? Did yall watch Hank brown?
I don’t know why but I always feel like McElroy has an untrustworthy face every time I see him.
😂😂
Peter Pan is a nerd. He is the best informed when it comes to the SEC... and though I know Pan is bias to bama he gives fair criticism.
Mizzou is a fluke. Defense coordinators were raided by LSU. And their RB stud is gone.
Texas is taking a step back on defense and depth-wise when they get beat up every week. Losing Davis is a huge deal.
I don't know what to make of TAMU but they have a great schedule.
I just like to ask why do you think Mizzou is a joke?
@@jaysonwhite4473 I don't think Mizzou is a joke. I knew they would be good this year.
2020 5-5, 2021 6-7, 2022 6-7, 2023 11-2
That 11-2 season in a large part rests on the back of a DC and D-line coach that is no longer there, important defensive players going to the draft, and a very special RB that is no longer there. These are not replaceable in one year. It is too much loss. Your schedule is not bad for next year but it ain't easy either. T8n4, bama, okie, auburn, and uSC. I think at best you are a 9-3 team most likely you are 8-4.
I hear your saying but we were good in the transfer portal and that maybe so but it doesn't mean they are going to work out.
Losing those coaches is going to be bad.
Texas got one of softest schedule as a welcome. Don't call that a beating
@@PHUnkel66 True we lost some great players but who doesn't every year. Yes, we had to get a new DC that we don't know really anything about but that's just it don't write someone off if you don't know anything about them yet. We all can sit here and say how bad Vandy is going to be. The fact is we don't know for a fact just how bad or good Vandy will do am I not right? I don't know about you but I don't have a crystal ball if I did I just may win the Powerball lol 😂But how I'm sure Mizzou will do just fine as we for the most part always do and have for many years.
@@exomake_mehorololo Yes Texas does have a very soft SEC schedule just not many talks about it for some reason.
… Lawmakers need to get involved for ESPN antitrust violations with the SEC & promoting of gambling!!!!!!!
There’s a simple solution. Find a political advisor to explain a solution 😅
McElroy: There is no Bama bias...
Also McElroy: Bama isnt in trouble. Losing the goat of coaches and 2 assistants and half the roster isnt a problem. Also Jalen Milroe will be fine. Not only fine but will be elite in an offensive scheme that is night and day from the one last year. It doesnt matter that his skill set doesnt fit with what Deboer does...
The denial that he along with every Bama fan is just hilarious 😂😂😂. Bama might win 8 or 9 games and this spoiled fan base will be wanting to fire the guy for doing a good job. Just hilarious.
As a University of Southern California fan, the hype on the SEC is nonsense! OU & Texas will do better than fine! Texas A&M have been shooting them selves in the foot and have been doing just fine and they were a middle of the road BIG XII team, so so quiet the hype! The SEC needs to start traveling the country if they’re that good!
