Miami being top 15 is a 9.75 on the boldness scale

Miami over Ole Miss and Mizzou? Nahh

Born and raised in Bama Roll tide all the way big shocker for me was seeing Miami make it in the top 15 and not ole miss 🤯

Weird having Utah in the thumbnail but not mentioned.

Two teams I think could be in the discussion are Ole Miss and Utah

Free FSU! Go Noles!

I'm a Ducks fan, and I'm *BAFFLED* that Miami made it in over Ole Miss..

Kinda surprised that Utah isn't within this Top 15! Especially since they're pre-season picked to win the Big12 this season!

LSU was way too low. No Ole Miss is kinda crazy too.

If you do interviews with Josh and let him work out with the players you make the top 15😂

LSU at 11 is criminal. Texas A&M in the top 10 is even more criminal

This won’t age well, @ All.

Man…..media is way too bullish on Texas. They have a good team and good coach. But they’ve had that before when losing 4-5 games in the b12

Having a program with a brand new head coach at #2 is pretty goofy.

Most High in MessiYah rest the souls of Khyree Jackson Isaiah Hazel Anthony "AJ" Lytton 🐘🏈

I would put Tennessee above A&M BUT, I can live with Tennessee at 12, they will be in the mix on a yearly basis...

All the talk is done anyway!!!! Let's see how everyone does on the field, can't wait for college football!!!!! WE ARE

Love my Irish at 7, also 100% agree with you on Elko at A&M, such a fantastic tactician and overall coach

I love the disrespect for OU. Especially that stacked defense that no one respects... Amazing!

3 years is a window. That is not long enough to be considered a top tier program. That could be one great player. Give me a real bold outlook. Next 10 years.

As an Oklahoma fan I've been really impressed with Venables recruiting on both sides of the ball not just offense. I'm 29 and I've never seen this many 5 stars on defense our next step is to develop those 5 stars just like Bama has done over the years if he can do that we should win a couple of National Championships like he did at Clemson.

As an ND fan having us at 7th feels great!

Hiring a good coaching staff is the most important part. Recruiting players is easier now that schools can legally pay players.

Thank you for telling the truth about ND and not just regurgitating nonsense like everyone else

OSU, Oklahoma are the definition of doing so little with so much

From the guy that says he likes Brian Kelly, he also said to me that Kelly was nearly fired last year. It is fine. I understand where you stand and I knew before I started watching what you would do.

Josh i think you need a timeout and go on a little vacation. I don’t think you’re thinking clearly when you rank LSU at #11……. seriously bro take a break man.

I’m guessing Utah just missed the cut on account of the block UU in the thumbnail?

Josh - Auburn Tigers rising. AU will be beating several of those in your Top 15.

I could easily see a world in which Miami and maybe even ND fulfill the college football equivalent to the Dallas Cowboys, regular season merchants who were once a dynasty that consistenly exits in the first round of the playoffs.

Tennessee will be in the convo and will have a title within the next 3 years Nico will also win the Heisman along the way.

Josh, LTL/FTC. Love your work. Never miss a show (live if I can). Also an LSU guy. A ranking of 11th, on its face, seems low. You suggested there were “internal alignment” issues. Then said (paraphrasing) “I won’t discuss it.” Deferred to “local best.” I think that was a very easy thing to do, but also a bit of a cop-out. If you’re going to pick your hill, stand by it. What if local beat doesn’t agree? What if they just won’t take the bait (don’t want to be negative, could lose a degree of access)? A couple of the top local guys know me well enough to engage via DM, but that’s about it (I.e. not an insider _at_ _all_} and I’ll poke around. But if you’re gonna take a perennial T10 team and leave them out, and then smirk out of an explanation, it seems unfair and a bit neglectful of a core base that generally likes and supports you. Please consider elaborating. I generally agree with your LSU takes, and just love your takes in general (“haven’t vs. can’t” is right up there for me, next to “don’t say you’re sorry, _act_ sorry”). Could you please step up and elaborate? Or would you offer the courtesy of a DM? IG: Rougaroux228 (prefer IG as I prefer _not_ to patronize a major communications platform run by a self-described “free-speech absolutist” - a bridge too far, imo). Regardless, THANK YIU for all the great work you do. [I have a PS Store merchandising idea if you’re ever interested).[

Hey, Josh, you are slowly coming around on Oklahoma. But, yes, you are too low on them. They will be top 5 in the next 3 years with a Natty. IYKYK!

A&M top 10 is a brilliant take

Love your show Mr. Pate , you have emerged as THE voice of College Football. Having said that , its very apparent that you along with most of the SEC media are not very familiar with the Texas Longhorms. Yes im an OU fan but im an objective one and i can say with 99% certainty that to pick Texas as an automatic SEC contender or in your future top 5 program in the country will only tarnish your reputation. Anyone who is truly familiar with this program knows that culture, development have been the Achilles heel of this team for years. Years of top recruiting classes , unlimited resources, plus the annual July hype machine have turned into one disappointing season after another. Last year was the best team they have had in 15 years but still couldn't beat a double digit underdog Oklahoma. They beat bama in week 1 , we all know that wasnt even close to a typical Saban team, if they play that game in week 8 you and i both know Bama wins that game , big. They couldnt beat Washington in the playoffs, in fact you can make a case that they didnt have a good quality win. Quinn Ewers hasnt shown he can win a big game yet. They lost 11 players to the NFL They havent been able to dominate the Big 12 but somehow they are going to go dominate the SEC. By your logic the SEC isnt as tough as you say it is . Thanks for reading , thank you for your great show each week

Top 10 pretty on point after that shuffle as you like it’s a toss up

At the end of the season, no ACC team will be in the play off. It will be filled with B1G ans SEC teams only. ESPN has spoken.

Great list. Though its tough to basically leave out the whole big12. I get it. But I think maybe a piece on "sleeping giants" might be a good one for teams like Utah, Baylor, maybe Nebraska. Teams that are missing one of the key pieces but could make.the jump. Never count out Utah. Whittingham is a beast of a coach

Florida gonna light the SEC up 2026-2028 with DJ Lagway

Solid list. Im a die hard fsu fan and only think we're 10 or 11 but I like your enthusiasm

I’m on board with most of it but having A&M and Miami instead of a Utah, Missouri, or Ole Miss seems off to me.

There’s no world Ole Miss isn’t in top 15, blind resume

Let’s get it!!! Go Dawgs!!!!!!!❤️🖤

I’ve been a lifelong Michigan fan, and I used to think the Ohio State preseason hype was over the top. But now, this hype around Oregon is just ridiculous. They haven’t shown anything to deserve this much attention.

You did see what happened to LSU and A&M the last time they played Tennessee right?

Other than Sark (who still hasn’t proven himself), What does Texas have that they haven’t always had?

FSU at #6? I’ll be waiting to see this defining moment you’re speaking of

You could say that Georgia has the pedal to the metal 😅

My noles got a top defense in the country a majority came back!!

FSU has 2 winning seasons in the last 6 years based off of 2 successful portal classes. That's not sustainable thinking you can be an elite program finding a majority of your starters from the portal every year. Norvell doesn't have 1 FSU player in the NFL that he recruited out of high school. I guess he has a special skill in only developing portal transfers, if you consider that development.

Someone in the big 12 will rise!

Another year of Michigan vs Everybody 〽️🏈BET!

Why did he crown Georgia as the top program but in his cfb playoff prediction video he heavily undermines GA

Hey Josh, if Utah Started recruiting in the top 20 consistently.. would they be top 15? Top 10 even ?

If Georgia played the national champs Michigan… Georgia by 20

Some weird bots here. Anyway, put me down as one of those receipts to save about Texas A&M. I will find it funny if (when) they continue to be the same as they always have and do less with more than a vast majority of others. Also pleasantly surprised to see Oklahoma as high as they are. You seem to be different than so many other national people that just expect Oklahoma to fall apart in the years to come. Saw this segment on the show last night. On an unrelated note, still hope the name for the tour will be the "NEW Eras" tour. It can reference several new eras for the sport, like for each of the teams, for the conferences with these new teams in them, and for the power 2 conferences to clearly start their new dominance of the sport. And a play on the name of the Taylor Swift tour would certainly make for some interesting interactions on Twitter for you.

Where in the world is Ole Miss?! I would easily put them in Miami, and probably in the top 10 over LSU and Tennessee. That is shocking to me.

Josh could you check to see what the chances are that Texas A&M could move to the Big 10 because of UT joining the SEC?

Wrong, Oregon is in trouble!!@ WE play this thing called defense in Happy Valley, Big House and Columbus and Iowa and Wisconsin and they are going to find out!!!!

Washington deserves atleast a mention

Over looking SMU for the next 3 years, they are coming, and I am an Alabama guy

Michigan being overlooked again

the fact that theres no BIG12 team on this list AT all is a casual stance IMO. If a team like Utah wins the Big12 twice they would automatically be on this list and tbh a team like Utah would only have to win the Big12 once and do decent the next 2 years and automatically be top 15.

This is very bold, and i believe will make you change it up every single year for the next 3yrs. Apparently you didnt go in depth enough using 3yrs prior for some and 4yrs for others. Half of these schools played very soft schedules over the years. Then try to make an argument for Oklahoma having a horrible record last year because they played a tough schedule? Really? You aren't a top tier program if you don't win the games against tough opponents, and that matters. This definitely won't age well at all, especially with some of these National Championship aspirations.

All those SEC teams in the top 15? You know they have to play each other once in a while, right? No USC?

Josh, we (LSU) are officially signing away our joint custody rights. Iowa St can have you. Please don't bring the Saturday tour to Baton Rogue, it's no longer welcome.

With the portal, they way it is, things could change. There are programs that don't have the riches as some schools but, they could change the landscape. With the right picks, quickly.

I'm not arguing with your list, but there are a few notable absences I'd think about. Utah, Ole Miss, USC and mabye North Carolina come to my mind and I would argue for any of them over some teams in the list.

Did you see florida state's last game of the year

Utah should be top 15

GO NOLESSS

Missing USC, Utah, Ole Miss

Sco Ducks

Oklahoma is a good program that will be shell-shocked when they play an entire SEC schedule.

The next up: Washington, Utah, USC, Ole Miss, Auburn...?

What You guys think of Akron +50.5..... I got a feeling it cashes

A&M have always had great recruiting but never seem to reach their potential.

Let’s see how many consecutive Josh is going to get correct… 1. Georgia ✅ 2. Alab- ❌

Go Rocky Top! Screw everyone else if we are playing them lol

Don't be surprised if Michigan surprises you.

Does your ranking of Florida State assume the flight from the ACC to another conference?

How long will Ohio State fans back Day if he can't deliver a national championship within the next two years? I would ask Ohio State fans to consider what Meyer or Tressel would do with this upcoming season's talent.....

Where are Utah, Washington

LSU out of the top 10 is crazy to me lol especially with the faith in the future of Texas A&M and OU I would be appalled if lsu averaged finishing behind those two teams in the SEC in the next 3 years

Ole Miss not being top 15 is crazy ngl

FINALLY DUCK TIME

So ur also on the Oklahoma bad wagon ur nuts

The Tennessee love is much appreciated, Josh. I have to vehemently disagree with A&M being included. Mike Elko might have that same pop in his first 3 years as Heupel had at UT but I seriously doubt it. He's a great guy and a good coach, but that's a stretch. I can tell you without a doubt I'm glad Mike Elko wasn't A&M's coach when we played them last year, we got lucky that Jimbo was still "coaching" when they visited.

Josh try not to glaze A&M and Miami, challenge impossible. Josh try not to hate/underappreciate Ole Miss, challenge impossible.

Go Dawgs

As an Ole Miss fan I love this show but I knew Josh wouldn’t put Ole Miss in the top 15 before I even clicked on the video. I don’t think he hates Ole Miss or anything but he’s never been super high on us in his power ratings. For example, in his SEC rankings he did a while back, he said that he based his ranking on the PREVIOUS 3 seasons, but he had LSU over Ole Miss even though Ole Miss beat them 2 out of the 3 years and had a better record than them during that stretch. So seeing teams like Miami and Texas A&M over Ole Miss on this ranking was no shock. If I had to guess, I think Josh must believe that Kiffin’s gonna leave Ole Miss sooner rather than later, or he believes that our NIL Collective won’t be able to keep pace with the programs that made the list. Ole Miss also doesn’t recruit high school in the top 15 so that probably hurts us a lot in his rankings. It’s a shame because for first time since like the 60s, the media actually views Ole Miss as a legitimate contender this year, but we can’t even manage to make the top 15 of his list. It sucks but Ole Miss has never really been a perennial blue blood powerhouse so I understand I guess

LSU is recruiting at a higher level than ND, Michigan, Texas A&M, Oklahoma. They have better staff than those programs, Brian Kelly is a proven winner. You said all these things Josh and i think its unfair that if youre talking in a 3 year timeline that those other programs are higher ranked. I think it is a whiff, and LSU can go toe to toe resources, recruiting, fan buy in, etc with anyone in tjr country

Oregon is the new NILU. They grabbed so much of the top talent in the portal and won a couple of recruits that were widely known as being very NIL focused. They will be a top program for years with their collectives and Lanning at the helm.

How many of these top 15 programs are one QB injury away from McGee’s Bottom 10? I’d say the majority of them.

I would take out Miami for sure ole miss or the quiet but massive rebuild luke fickel is doing at Wisconsin may shock everyone.

Josh you need to stop making videos and reflect and how you ranked the reigning national champion…what’s Ryan days record vs the current UM hc? What’s James Franklin s record vs him???? What did PJ Fleck say after their game in 2023??

where tf is wisconsin

Gig-em aggs!

Alabama at 2….you lost me there.
