College Football with Sam's Post-Spring Top 25 video: th-cam.com/video/s4q_2TYAk84/w-d-xo.html College Football with Sam's April Big Ten Predictions video: th-cam.com/video/OJ3zIlC5Kf0/w-d-xo.html
Tennessee is solid in the trenches on both sides of the ball, with arguably one of the best players in James Pierce and a 5 star qb. Not to mention a stadium that gives them a 7pt swing on homefield advantage. I have zero problems with them in the top ten.
Nebraska hasn’t deserved hype in 7 years. They’ll deserve it when they actually earn it on the field. Stop the false narrative and giving false hope to a delusional and desperate fanbase for clicks.
U know I agree with u here Sam. As a side note, NEB's roster is CRIMINALLY underrated, and u are the only one who sees through the national media on NEB!
I agree, Go Big Ten. I am just tired of the Nebraska talk until they do something, at all. I shouldn't have attacked your comment though, you're right. You guys have potential and I want to see you back at the top competing. Just tired of my Big Red friends talking haha
@tyrenny10 news flash. Nebraska would have been in the same boat with Bo. Dude could not recruit and did ok in a much worse B1G conference. The loses he did take were blow out loses. He found Little success afterwards. He was not the answer.
Espn always makes sure the suc teams are rated higher...especially before one of the lower suc teams plays one of the blue bloods so even with a loss they stay up in the rankings!
@@chasejackson7248The SEC has some really good teams at the top, but the middle of the pack teams seem to get way overrated due to this. Last year was a good example. The SEC really wasn’t amazing, and their out of conference record helped show this. But since it’s the SEC, some teams were ranked much higher than they should have been. An easy example is Florida. They were awful, yet they ranked higher than some teams who were noticeably better, including Utah. Utah had not only the same record, but they beat Florida head to head. You could argue they had better quality wins as well. You see this every year, and people will still find a way to defend these rankings.
The formula is simplistic (that word doesn't mean _pleasingly simple_ kids, it means _too simple_ ). I think Wisconsin at 39, beneath a quite decimated Oregon State, is rather egregious. Colorado is overrated, Utah is very underrated.
Since you were only three Sam I assume you don't remember the "touchdown" Texas was given on an option play when Vince Young had his knee down before pitching the ball in that 05' Championship game. It went to replay and was very clear but the officials blew the call
Dude stop hyping Michigan up. Yes they have a stud defense, but THAT'S IT. Edwards is a fine RB, but he won't carry the entire offense. They lose too much on that side, plus their head coach to the point they'll need time to reconstruct. Orji hasn't thrown a SINGLE PASS in his whole time at Michigan. The o-line loses a ton. The receiving room loses a bit. And the defense didn't even remain untouched. They lost some good players. Probably 10-2 at best. They're also not making the Big 10 title, silly goose. I get you're a U-M fan, but please set you're expectations at a reasonable level.
While I think Nico Iamaleava (I hope I spelled his name correctly) will be good, I do not think Tennessee has the talent + development at the majority of their positions to be a Top 10 team. Alabama and Michigan will be better than most people expect.
Thank you for seeing what I am seeing! Last year's 15-20 range teams are viewed about as strong as this year's 7, 8, 9, and 10 teams, which is just nuts. This is going to be a season where almost every team has two losses or the game is so heavy that there are almost 10 P4 teams with only one loss or fewer (like last year, as a season where everyone is up will mimic one where everyone is down, at least by wins and losses). I think there will be more losses and upsets inflicted though compared to last season.
Oregon is frickin loaded indeed. They have, as far as I can tell, _one_ soft spot on D -- they don't appear to have a high-level free safety on the roster.
I'm not sure you actually have paid close attention to what Oregon has brought in this year. I dont expect Gabriel to play at quite the level of Nix, but Oregon is deeper than last year everywhere else excep O-line, where they should be about the same.
SC shouldn't be top 25 why Michigan drop, did they lose all major starters? Ohio state shouldn't be top 4 ND ranked 7 is perfect, they could be 8 but that's a good ranking for them to start the year Bama finished strong but no 5 is too high but they're better then penn
Why does Penn State deserve such a high ranking? They were beat handidly by Ole Miss last bowl season. And I would argue Ole Miss added more immediate talent this offseason who will be able to contribute this season. It's a given that James Franklin's teams can't keep up in a shootout. I'm tired of his teams getting automatic top 10 rankings by default. He loses the big games and is a guarenteed 1st rd loss in the CFP. Please stop the Penn State hype until they earn it.
Yes, FPI is bananas. Please do not be mad when I talk about Clemson lol. I actually want them to be good but I do not have many reasons to believe in them.
I'm a Michigan fan who graduated from BYU. As such I'm curious what you meant with your inflection, almost surprised sound at BYU's ranking. Too low, too high?
FPI has always been laughable. It's a very flawed algorithm. At the end of the regular season, it ranked Ohio State higher than Michgan, AFTER undefeated Michigan beat OSU.
I seem to remember their FPI had OSU #1 last year & they loved the Buckeyes ? -- Perhaps it's better for the Buckeyes to be an underdog ? - - - And just wait until they play ! 🤔
College football predictions are less accurate than your local weather forecast. They are right not even half the time. The last 3 years prove that as fact! Bias comes into play every time.
I watch what Tennessee did to the Iowa Hawkeyes, I watch what Missouri did to Ohio State. I watch what Kentucky to did Louisville, what Georgia did to Florida state. The point is there's a reason there's so many sec teams in the top 20. Hell ole miss beat Penn State in the peach bowl.
@@jimmy5634 I look back to Michigan and tcu, tcu won 51 to 45. Georgia beat tcu 65 to 7... Fast forward, Michigan sign stealing and then they win, really
It is understandable given how Nebraska has been awful the past several years (In fact, FPI predicted Nebraska to win the west in 2022 lol). I think Nebraska proves the world wrong this year though.
Lol this video was hilarious. Recruiting wins. It's more about players than coaches in college. Every coach that recruits well usually does well, except Jimbo Fisher.
3 starters are in their 3rd year starting. The line backing core is much improved with athleticism. Best secondary in the country. Best rb room in the country. Like. What to question??!???
Well, it’s certainly a better overall coaching staff than MSU had before, but I agree, I think it’s too early to classify them as “elite.” And I say that as an MSU fan. But I think that the staff has the potential to be great to near-elite sooner rather than later, as most of the members have a track record of success as coaches at prior stops, whereas before, that was not the case.

Agreed, but it is fine, it is guys like this that I love watching act like it is such a far fetch, it is playoffs or bust for the VOLS this year...

Most Nebraska fans agree with you btw..
@@dangerousboxx666exactly, tired of the hype. Rather get results than hype. GBR!
@@cudabackag yep. The frost years have ruined me for trying to get hyped before the season begins. They will earn it when they prove it on the field.
U know I agree with u here Sam. As a side note, NEB's roster is CRIMINALLY underrated, and u are the only one who sees through the national media on NEB!
Nebraska is and has been trash for years. Should have kept Bo, sucks to suck. Go Blue!
@@tyrenny10 And that constitutes them being trash this year? Also wasn't what I commented on, I commented on the roster. Go Blue! Go Big Red!
I agree, Go Big Ten. I am just tired of the Nebraska talk until they do something, at all. I shouldn't have attacked your comment though, you're right. You guys have potential and I want to see you back at the top competing. Just tired of my Big Red friends talking haha
Their roster is underrated and I think they have a few surprises up their sleeve for this coming fall.

Tennessee too high? Maybe you’re a bit insane bruh.
"This is where the insanity hits peak cocaine." Sam u had me dying here 🤣😂
😂😂 I will try to use more phrases like that.
Sam don’t Diss my vols Bro
Espn always makes sure the suc teams are rated higher...especially before one of the lower suc teams plays one of the blue bloods so even with a loss they stay up in the rankings!
The sec has more teams in everyone's rankings espn isn't the only one that does that

@@Rochrikqv that's why rankings don't matter, people get too upset with them too much.
Another good video, Sam.
Thank you, Jay.
You don't pay attention to oregon lol

I love the channel and I think you do a fair job for the most part. Keep it up
Memphis will make the playoffs, but lose in the first round.

Michigan and Alabama WILL NOT FALL OFF. i agree with you.
And Tennesse is the most overrated team in cfb history
While I think Nico Iamaleava (I hope I spelled his name correctly) will be good, I do not think Tennessee has the talent + development at the majority of their positions to be a Top 10 team. Alabama and Michigan will be better than most people expect.
LOWEST FPI - for top teams in years. With 12 teams making playoffs - wide open.
Thank you for seeing what I am seeing! Last year's 15-20 range teams are viewed about as strong as this year's 7, 8, 9, and 10 teams, which is just nuts.

In spite of all the upheaval in college football gotta concede the playoffs are gonna be awesome.
@@armandhammer3782first legit post season!
Oregon roster is much better this year imo
Oregon is frickin loaded indeed. They have, as far as I can tell, _one_ soft spot on D -- they don't appear to have a high-level free safety on the roster.
no doubt.

Watching from the Philippines
Greetings from Michigan! How is the Philippines, Jeff?
The FPI is a lot better at predicting the games. I think it’s better than Vegas closing lines
I'm expecting great things from Penn St. Trying to schedule a fall trip to coincide with the W H I T E O U T!
I expect great things from the Lions as well and I am glad FPI is high on them.
@@collegefootballwithsam 🙂
Penn St has an easier schedule this year so maybe they should be that high. But every year Franklin mismanages at least one game.
@@DJ7mph Can't argue with that.
Michigan should have hired dabo swinney and got Brian ferentz for the oc (joking)

Answer: Clemson is top 20 because they're Clemson. We LOVE Dabo! Stay tuned.
If you say so. Go Tigers!
Sam. How many points a game do u think TTUN will score a games
Ole Miss being out of the top 10 is a joke and against all other knowledgeable assessments I have seen.
I watch what Tennessee did to the Iowa Hawkeyes, I watch what Missouri did to Ohio State. I watch what Kentucky to did Louisville, what Georgia did to Florida state. The point is there's a reason there's so many sec teams in the top 20. Hell ole miss beat Penn State in the peach bowl.

🤣🤣🤣
Nebraska has not deserved respect for 10+ years. I'm a Nebraska fan. This years hype is no different. Let's go bowling first then we can get hype.
Really you have to earn respect …
Agree 💯
Great video
Thanks, Allen.
Lol this video was hilarious. Recruiting wins. It's more about players than coaches in college. Every coach that recruits well usually does well, except Jimbo Fisher.
What’s your questions about Ohio state? Every player on the o line is at LEAST a 2nd year/ full season starter. That’s a deficiency?
3 starters are in their 3rd year starting. The line backing core is much improved with athleticism. Best secondary in the country. Best rb room in the country. Like. What to question??!???
Michigan is happy that you have the same guys on your o-line.
