- Greg McElroy gives his preseason Top 10 and explains why Ohio State is No. 1, why people are overreacting to Nick Saban’s retirement and why Texas will meet the expectations. Plus, is Notre Dame’s offensive line the one thing that might hold them back and will Ole Miss and Missouri be able to repeat the success of ‘23? Who’s overrated/underrated and will any of these teams miss the playoffs? Let the debate begin.

Below are all teams who’ve won a natty since the AP in 1936. Please feel free to “like” if your team’s on the list. And please comment if your team needed the momentum of an historic 3yr cheating scheme to win a natty:
Alabama. Notre Dame. Ohio State. Oklahoma. USC. Miami. Nebraska. LSU. Minnesota. Texas. Clemson. Florida. Florida State. Georgia. Michigan. Michigan State. Pitt. Penn State. Army. Tennessee. Auburn. Syracuse. Georgia Tech. TCU. Maryland. Iowa. BYU. UCLA. Washington. Colorado. Ole Miss. Arkansas. Texas A&M
You can tell Greg puts a lot of thought into it and really doesn't like offending any fans. Which in the end is impossible. Good job Greg. We all find out together.
Greg and Josh Pate are elite analysts. They don't cheat their profession with lazy takes.
"You can tell Greg puts a lot of thought into it . . . ." 100%
Cupcake schedule for Ohio St. First test doesn't come until Oct. 12 at Oregon. Their schedule is Oregon, Penn St. and Michigan. Out of 12 games only 3 can be considered real games.
That looks like a real strong schedule for them, it's usually only Michigan they feel like they really beefed up their schedule🤭 go Dawgs 🦍
Ryan Day Ohio State head coach no pressure 🤭
Ohio State will once again disappoint. Will have the same issue at QB and Ryan Day is still not a good coach when facing teams who can match them in talent.
Agreed 👍🏾
Lol ok
@@perrisblair4070 you will see me lol last 😂
And DB Jaden Mickey who's another weapon for the secondary ☘️☘️
Don't necessarily agree with some of the picks but this probably going to be the most interesting season of football in a while, it's going to be paramount for these teams to dodge the injury bug ,that's the one thing in the equation u can't account for, good football every week tho 👏
Having Tennessee in the top 10 gives off SEC bias 😂
Notre Dame has been O-Line U and Tight End U. Look at the recruiting classes, I'm not worried about the tackles being gone. Next man in. Last years offense definetely unachieved and I beleive it was do to the poor OC hire. But yes Denbrock should be a huge upgrade. This year's schedule is weak this year, I hope we can start cycling through the QBs we have, the potenial in our QB room is great. It's time to get them prepped for post Riley Leonard. Defense- Strong. 6 returning starters- Botello, Mills, Cross, Kiser, Watts, Morrison. I think 6 is a good spot, if the Offense gels good, then I think #6 is where Notre Dame will probably end the season. Not a Championship Caliber team just yet, but should make it to the second round of the play offs, and I'm excited about the future. Go Irish.
If we get the 5 or 6 seed we can make the semifinal
@@dallasmorrow21 Zactly, I'm loving that #5 Seed. #5 vs #12, then vs #4 ACC or Big 12 Champ.
@@bwnotredame06you're exactly right and most people don't realize how well the ND athletic director played college football
Iowa is Tight End U it's not even close.
Really need that week 1 win so we don't have to be perfect the rest of the year.
Will howard's role will be to run for his life after picking the ball up from the dirt because his center is bad and the rest of the OLine isn't much better, and try to toss short passes to his RB's because they can't get any momentum behind that LOS. tOSU is loaded everywhere except Oline and they will come up short again because of it despite having all the talent every where else.
2024 Ohio State offensive line rankings…
PFF: #6
On3: #11
Phil Steele: #12
247: #2 o-line in BigTen
He kept putting ohio state number one all year last year lmao
He always had Michigan above them lol
Not all year, read a book.
As a GA fan, I'm fine with GA at #2. I agree that our interior D was not very good last year. If our inerior D can step up and perform better than last year, then GA will win the Natty.
no more bowers or mconkley who’s replacing them as go to weapons?
@kiingdylan1054 weapons is not a problem. Probably the deepest WR room on the country (notice I didn't say best) the TE room is stacked, and adding Etienne is bug because you will see them go back to throwing to the backs like they did in 2021. Lovett will probably be the true number 1 but adding the transfers gives them a ridiculous amount of weapons. The question is more who will be THE guy l, but there are tons of options
@@kiingdylan1054 Dominic is gonna def be a weapon this next year, yes they may be gone but we also have rara and trevor eitinne also oscar delp has potential to be up there with bowers

If we make the playoff I’ll be stoked
Can’t thank Coach Kiffin and his staff enough for what they have done in Oxford
Just curious why being in this conversation would make u feel less important, shouldn’t it make u feel the opposite?
@SatansShart humbled doesnt mean feel less important in this context lol
Obvious rat poison tho
Its nice to hear
No teams in the SEC, BIG10, or the ACC should have any cupcake non-Conference games!! They added teams to form powerhouse Conferences so play the games!!!
They would be crazy to do that while the Big12 exists. Would the playoff committee put a 9-3 Big10 team in over a 11-1 Big12 team with a far inferior schedule?
Same with the SEC not playing 9 conference games - why should they until they know absolute superior SoS matters to the committee?
I agree!
I wouldn't, conference games are rough enough especially in the SEC! By far the toughest league.
Bama is 5-1 during Georgias run

Wild take putting Oregon in top 3. In what world would Oregon beat Texas or Alabama
Washington beat Texas last year. And Oregon lost to Washington twice, but barely both times.
@mbd501 not a great argument my guy Washington also got smoked by Michigan. Alabama played way better. Texas is Texas so I'll give you that one
Oregon would have beaten either team last season
@@jstrig At the end of the season, I think they probably would've beaten Texas, but not Bama.
@@mbd501 Bama needed a miracle to beat unranked Auburn
I knew before I opened this video that he was going to rank Ohio State #1. That schedule is not difficult whatsoever. The game at Oregon is the only legitimately hard game. Ohio State is better than Penn State, and Michigan lost too much talent to be able to beat them. It's a cakewalk to the playoffs.
Don’t know if I’d call playing 3 arguable top 10 teams a cakewalk
@@ryankubinski8789well fortunately for them they don’t play 3 arguable top 10 teams. they play one.
Michigan sent more talent to the NFL than any other program the past 3 drafts. Everyone gives credit for recruiting but little is being said for development. There are only 4 other schools recruiting like osuCKS right now, Oregon, Texas, Georgia & Bama, the Buckeyes are the only one of the five that haven’t had a 1st round defensive pick since the 2021 draft. Michigan kids are coming & staying 5 years. The “3 & done” mentality has caught up to them in CBus. None of their kids that returns for their senior year strike fear into a team with a pulse. Burke , Sawyer, JTT, Henderson aren’t consistent “game wreckers” for opposing Coordinators. Keep thinking the last 3 were a fluke, you might get that same result for the fourth consecutive season!
sorry @ PSU is not an easy game
@@BoschhammerActual lol, wrong
Yes Bucky Irving was huge but a lot of people forget that Noah Whittington was our #1 back last year before he went down and Bucky stepped up so with Jordan James being back with Noah I see them in a very similar spot in the backfield
Missouri defense is going to be rock solid because they got players at each position via portal, returning talent.
I agree with you,Missouri was a very good team last year if they didn't lose many key players from last year they will be tough to beat.and by the way I'm a Bama fan.
Every conference should be 9 game conference with a College Football Commissioner picking similar out of conference opponents record wise over a five year window, which is what Fox Sports Joel Klatt mentioned in the new era of College Football. I would love to see them have a matchup with Clemson/Florida State (ACC), Tennessee/Texas/Oklahoma/Ole Miss (SEC), and Utah/Arizona/Oklahoma State (Big 12) as some of the likely opponents for Penn State football.
That doesn't work until the Big12 and ACC heavily step up in terms of competitiveness relative to the Big10 and SEC.
The new OC will get the offense fixed and Drew Allar will shine!!! The defense will be elite again as always, look out everyone in the nation!!! WE ARE
Alabama should be ranked at least 2 or 3
It doesn’t matter what ranking tOSU team has. Their coach is not very good in the big games.
They have Penn St high every year and don’t accomplish nothing
James Franklin always underachieving.
Because they always win 10 games hard to keep 10-2 team out. Just that though they choke vs the good teams!
@@brettk9316 yeah they lose to the only two good teams on their schedule and beat up the cannon fodder that makes up most of the rest of the Big10. That's why they always finish outside the top 10. No quality wins.
and james franklin got spanked by lane kiffin
you could say the same about your English teacher.
Lol. Golding had only been at Ole Miss one season. These players are better than in his first year sounds a lot better than since he has been at ole miss

How do you consider Carson Beck the top QB when the only thing he better last year then Sanders was have an extra 500 passing yards. Sanders had 3,125 27tds and only 3 interceptions, Carson Beck had 3,941 passing yards 24tds and 6 interceptions and he played for GEORGIA that team is stacked with 5⭐️ Sanders got sacked 52 times and still put up better numbers then Beck I mean are we going to speak facts or what?
To be fair, 500 more yards on 13 less attempts. 2 more yards-per-attempt. 3% higher completion percentage. 16 higher QBR.
@@EulogyfortheAngels Well no S*** Sherlock, Colorado was a rebuilding team last year coach primes very First 1st year. You’re comparing a Georgia Team with multiple plus Years to revamped Colorado team. You people are mentally insane I swear.
Beck is just a better QB. Stats aren’t everything. But Beck had better stats than Sanders as well. 700 more passing yards, better completion percentage, much higher QBR, and was only sacked 11 times compared to Sanders’ 52 sacks. And Beck faced MUCH better competition and still performed better than Sanders most of the season. I will agree that sacks are an OL stat ultimately, BUT it’s also a QB’s job to get rid of the ball and not take a sack in a lot of situations. Beck has far better awareness than Sanders in those situations. He’s just better. Doesn’t mean Sanders isn’t a good QB. He’s probably still going to go in the top 15 of the NFL Draft. He’s just not the best QB in CFB in 2024. That’s Carson Beck.
@@kennethjohnson9496 Now stats aren’t everything man just stop 🤣 Beck is not a better QB he’s just on a Better Team at the Moment Facts are Facts, last time I checked the best QB in the League are QBs who played on Bad teams and went through adversely to win Beck is Surrounded by 5⭐️ everywhere he’s not actually good at all to be Honest but the NFL always exposed those type of QB.. lol Trevor Lawerence for example but you saying he was sacked 11x and Sanders was sacked 52x and still had more TDs and less picks Proves my argument statement I’m done here I won its over.. FACTS OVER FEELINGS… ☠️
@@DDB5Shedeur is partly responsible for being sacked 52 times. Holds onto the ball way too long. Needs to improve on trusting his internal clock.
Bro, ohio state number 1? You do realize that every other snap is going on the ground or 20 yards behind right?!?! 😂😂
Exactly.
None of the people in the photo will be in the Top 25, nobody votes for coaches, it's for teams
Great segment Greg. The only switch I would make is I'd put Georgia #1, Oregon #2 and OSU at 3. Why, OSU's QB is a bit unproven and I think Oregon stacks up everywhere else on the field and will likely beat the Buckeyes in there head to head. They will likely meet again in the B1G championship game, which will be a barn burner and a narrow victory for the Ducks if they stay healthy. Way too early but I've got UGA and Oregon playing in the Natty.
Lanning overrated. Lost to Washington twice.
@@kevcambridge5910 Three times in two years. But Texas lost to WA in the same two years (twice), as did every other ranked team that faced them but Michigan. Don't judge everything by one game.

Predictably, a complete diss of an improved ACC field and talent pool by an unsurprisingly bought-and-paid-for “SEC-biased” network
You are much too high on SEC teams...Ol Miss, Tennessee and Missouri are you nuts?
Bama gonna be the same ish with milroe
3rd and Pete wasted so much talent at Alabama it was criminal
Nick Saban ran the defense at Alabama. It was his scheme and his plan every week for 17 years. If you want to see how Golding would have run the defense if he had been allowed, go watch the 2020 Auburn game. With Saban at home not able to interfere, Golding put on a clinic and destroyed Auburn. He is doing the same thing as Ole Miss.
@@MyBohemianDreams except Bama hired Steele and there was an immediate, obvious improvement with all returning players. Steele himself said it's Saban's defense. You do realize that even in a HC's scheme, the DC does actually have to do stuff, right?
A lot of the positive from Golding's time at Ole Miss is partly based on his abject failures at Bama lol. He wasn't ready for the job at Bama. At least he's learning.
Georgia really plays 4 top ten teams
Mizzou, PSU, ND, etc ahead of Michigan is jsut asinine. I thought McElroy knew ball, but this is just the same regurgitate bad media take the other bozos spew.
Michigan has a better defense and only “questions” at QB…A position that is historically not all that critical for Michigan. First it was “JJ is just a game manager”, now the media acts like defense and the run game isnt what always carries Michigan. Michigan will be a top 8 seed in the playoffs, book it.
So out of your top 10 basically you're saying the SEC rules. Nothing new there.
Ohio state only has 2 games that might give them troubles.. Oregon and Penn State!! I’m a Michigan fan, but they aren’t even tough on anyone schedule… and what is up with 3 cupcakes to start off the season???😡
Did you see Michigan’s schedule last year?
@@RadicallyOptimisticYes! Overall Michigan had a very weak schedule last year! Also the cup cakes they play early, pathetic! Doesn’t surprise me though, look at the last three years of cheating that went on, still let them keep the National Championship! Ridiculous, NCAA is selective, when it comes down to who they punish, for violations, and who they don’t! 🌰🏈
@@RadicallyOptimistic For real, no idea what this person is talking about when Ohio State and Penn State were the only two tough games on their own schedule
Michigan started with East Carolina, UNLV, and Bowling Green last year.
Not even a fan of a team in the Big 10, but your lack of self awareness is astounding
‘I’m a Michigan fan’ sure you are buddy
Denbrock is a very good play caller. Kelly was looking to elevate Sloan to share duties with Denbrock. Denbrock didn't like it. I was okay with the departure of Denbrock because Sloan and Hankton are incredible recruiters and Sloan gets less respect than Denbrock for how he was able to make Daniels a better player.
Beck is not going to post as big as numbers this year. Receiver loses and more big games will drive his numbers down. He played like garbage in the Bama game so I am not sure about his big game ego.
All the love for Nico is crazy to me. I guess I will have to see....
Keep telling yourself that
Denbrock left for ND because he’s a Midwest guy who’s coached at ND before.
@@mbd501 He is and probably a better recruiter in the Midwest. It is why he returned there, but he was pushed.
@@markkubiak7071 must be an ND fan.
This man's SEC bias is to hard to hide. Can't stand his takes. Almost disagree with everything he says.
Every SEC team he mentions, he sings their praises. Every other conference he talks about, its "bold" or maybe to "bullish".
Josh Pate and Joel Klatt are the only real podcasters the put their bias away and spit facts.
He always has Bama as top 5 which is annoying especially with Saban gone and a RB playing QB.
Josh is the biggest SEC homer. It’s never “how many SEC and Big 10 teams will make it?”, it’s only “how many SEC teams will make it?”
@@RadicallyOptimistic It's not homer to form reasonable opinions based on a massive bank of facts and historical precedent.
The Cheaters aren't in the top ten?
It wil be USC Trojans, Michigan Wolverines and also Ohio State Buckeyes in the playoffs.
USC TROJANS?????? This is funny
Texas is NOT a top 5 team as long as Sark and sEwers are on the team...we proved that against Washington! Yeah, we have some amazing dudes on the team that look so great on paper, but when pads hit and the ball is thrown in the air? We haven't had a secondary for 4 years now, and Sark is known to flounder and flail against superior-coached teams (we all know Bama with a more seasoned Milroe would have wiped the floor with us by the end of the year!)...we're going 9-3 at best this year, which should net us around a 10-12 ranking...
Yet, you still beat Bama at Bama. Stop it.. Your good everywhere else except your secondary. Improve that a little bit and start putting up the points, you'll be fine.. I think you'll go 11-1, 10-2 at worst.

Im a very critical Notre Dame fan and i will say #6 is a touch high. Top 10? Definitely. The 7-8 range wouldve been perfect. But the Irish could legit be 12-0 at the end of november.
Always kinda scary when they have the Irish so high. Knock on wood but it reminds me of freeman’s first year when they started at no. 5. Every Irish fan knew that was too high, then they go and drop their first 2.
Leonard’s the big key. If he plays well, we could go 12-0, with this defense.

State Penn is top 10 over 〽️ichiGan🤣🙄
As a Buckeye fan I would have them third, Oregon second and Georgia first. If OSU beats Oregon on the road I would move them to first. With a new QB and OC they have to show something first.
As another Ohio State fan, I think you are incorrect! Ohio State is soooooooo loaded to have Ohio State #3, behind Oregon, and Georgia! Really! Ohio State should win the National Championship this year! 🌰🏈
Oregon has a new QB as well, so it doesn’t make sense to include that in your reasoning
One new QB is playing the matchup at home and another on the road. One QB is working in an offense with a new OC.
Despite that, I see Chip Kelly as a huge plus for Ohio State and believe there is a good chance Ohio State will win the Natty. But to take it for granted that two important pieces like QB and OC couldn't encounter some problems early on is too much for me. I want to see where things stand.
@johnbochenek5526 I don’t disagree but your post was about OSU being ranked 3rd behind ORE and the only reason you gave was a new QB and OC. Does a team’s ranking suffer bcuz they will be the road team?
I don’t disagree with that top and think it’s reasonable. But I don’t see 5 sec teams finishing the season ranked in top 10. There is no way the CFP will put 5 teams from the sec in playoff. The rest of the country will cry too much.

Notice that this isn’t a ranking of last year’s teams
I wouldn’t have them that high but they’re definitely in a better spot than Michigan. DeBoer is a proven coach and Alabama has much more talent than Michigan. Michigan lost a ton of production
@@dallasmorrow21 is that all that matters? Bc last time I checked Michigan was the deepest team in the country last year and the current HC beat Penn state and Ohio state last year, and then Michigan went on to beat both Alabama and Kalen Deboer
@@reyganwhitt3738 you keep referring to last year. The rankings are for this coming season. While history can give some inclination into what the team is gonna be moving forward, it can’t be all that you rely on. Michigan lost a ton of its production, mostly on the offensive side of the ball. The defense will still be really good, but there was a large turnover in the coaching staff. Sherrone Moore is a first time HC (yes he stepped up as interim HC but that is vastly different than running the entire program). Michigan hasn’t recruited at an elite level to replenish its ranks. Yes, they develop well, but that remains to be seen for the new starters. All of these things are why Michigan is getting dinged in the rankings. And to be honest, none of it matters. If Michigan wins games, they’ll move up
@@reyganwhitt3738 "Michigan was the deepest team in the country last year" - correct, and they just lost nearly their entire offense.
"The current HC beat Penn State and Ohio State" - being a weekly interim on relative cruise control is not the same thing as actually running a program with a brand new staff you had to hire.
"and then Michigan went on to beat both Alabama and Kalen Deboer" - You're right! Since Deboer is at Bama now, that means that they'd beat Alabama TWICE AS BAD in 2024, right?!
Please work on developing basic logic.
FEBU
Go Ducks 🦆🦆🦆
This list is so bad
Crosket Merritt is out of eligibility. Ole Miss took Rashad Amos former South Carolina/Miami of Ohio RB. other than that good job
Tenn at 10, Mizzou at 9, Texas at 4... 😂😂😂
Elaborate please
TX made the playoff and has one of the most talented rosters returning in football. Stay salty, 🤡
@@ThatTexasDude Losing ALL your starting offensive production + Brooks, your 3 best players on an already weak defense. You guys are going 8-4 this season 😂🫵
@@kendrickdelosreyes5381 Texas returns arguably the best offensive line in football, 2 studs running backs, 2 Bama transfers at wr and TE, Ewers and is loaded at talent at WR. What?
6 SEC teams out of 10.
Pretty reasonable. They could have 5+ teams in the playoffs.
Believe sooners get FIVE of them plus top 15 LSU.
Welcome to the SEC.
i think mizzou is a legit natty contender
Why is that? They had a good year last year but a lot of games could have gone either way and if the ball bounces a different way on those games they are looking at another 6-6 season. Now their schedule is very weak this year, so a lot like last year but wouldn’t call them a title contender.
M-I-Z
Tennessee going all the way this year baby GBO!!!!
I agree Will Howard is freakin Awesome and Ohio State will win the Natty.
Ranking a James Franklin coached, poo allar quarterbacked team in the top ten is fking wild come on greg you’re so much better than that
WE ARE, you aren't!!!!! Don't say I didn't warn you about my Nittany Lions!!!!! 11-1 at worst
Oh look FSU left out of your Top 10 😂😂😂
Texas won't do what they did last year. Step down from then. They won in Tuscaloosa but let's be honest, Bama wasn't Bama yet...they developed well over the year but not that good for their par when they lost to Horns. They had a good year in a lesser conference and lost to Washington who couldn't really hang with MI. I think they probably have a 60% chance to make the playoffs but won't be a top 5.
Washington beat 10 or 11 ranked teams in a row, not just Texas twice but Oregon three times. Texas doesn't have to feel bad about losing to them, even if they had a bad game against Michigan.
@@windofthetaopodcast3449 2 ranked teams by end of season rankings. They were just really well coached and had a real QB. Same coach has Bama now. If they meet him in the sec championship or tournament I'll take Bama. Washington was respectable but outclassed in the end.
Bama glazing and Georgia hating
Probably because Bama owns uga.
@@morganguffey3519 what does that have to do with preseason rankings 🤡
😂😂😂 Krispy Kreme has more glaze and Jawja couldn’t hoist Bama’s sack if Godzilla was on that Jawjun payroll. Come back in 50 years and cry a little harder.
