College Football Preseason AP top 25 poll released

Intro [Applause] [Music] [Music] ladies and gentlemen welcome to another video what we're going to be doing today is we're going to be taking an in-depth look at the AP poll that just came out for our 2024 college football season this poll just came out today from the AP is going to give us our top 25 starting out the regular college football season so this is the very last pre-season poll so these are the rankings that will be going into the 2024 college football season with is these teams will be ranked exactly where we are in this poll we are going to have our reaction to it breakdown where every single team fell go ahead and hit that like button and subscribe if you have any comments drop them below and I will make sure to respond so the AP plls coming out we're going to be looking at the ESPN rankings here going ranking by ranking breaking down every single team and if we think they fell right where they should have fallen coming in at number one with 46 first place votes we have the Georgia Bulldogs the biggest storyline in the off season has been the Georgia Bulldogs and the Ohio State Buckeyes flip-flopping back and forth number one number two well it looks like Georgia is going to be the number one team when the football season starts at the end of this month and that's really not a surprise there because the biggest difference between both both of these teams they will both have great offenses they will both have top five defenses but the Buckeyes might have the slightly better defense they might have the best defense in the country and they'll have a very good offense but will Howard just transferred over at as the quarterback from Kansas State but we haven't seen him yet play in this system in this scheme under Chip Kelly and Ryan day so there's still a little question marks there of just how is he going to adapt to this scheme every single Saturday for Georgia there's not those questions you have Carson Beck back at the quarterback position he just missed 4,000 yards by 50 yards last season he comes in as number two in the Heisman favorites right now so the most important position on the field is solidified with the Bulldogs we know that they're loaded at the skill positions they have a great defense so it's no surprise that they're number one now it's also no surprise that the Buckeyes with 15 first place votes are just a slight number two as I mentioned the number number one defense in all of college football they had the number three defense last year they bring back nine starters on defense and they added a five-star safety from Alabama on offense you'll have will Howard a quarterback you have quinin junkins you have Henderson you have egbuka you have Jeremiah Smith they're loaded up and down the field this going to be a very good team we just want to see them play in their scheme first before we can technically justify them being number one but one two it doesn't really matter coming in at number three we have Oregon getting one first place vote so the Oregon Ducks are just like the Buckeyes and Bulldogs they have a top five roster as well they have a top 10 offense if they have a top 10 defense they're moving to the Big 10 this year a lot of fans in the Big 10 when they look at Oregon see them coming from the past 12 they don't think that they can hang in the trenches with the big boys with the Penn State buuck guys Michigan but I think you're wrong this is a very deep team on both lines on the defensive line on the offensive line and they're adding the Dylan Gabriel the transfer quarterback from the Oklahoma Sooners he's an early Heisman favorite as of right now he's probably going to throw for 35 to 40 touchdowns and probably run for eight to 10 touchdowns he can throw he can run he adds a new element a new skill set to their offense they're very deep at wide receiver and you have a very deep defense that's going to be resuming where they left off last season as I mentioned top 10 offense top 10 defense very skilled team very talented team under Dan Lanning coming in at number four you have the Texas Longhorns this isn't really a surprise them falling to four but they did lose a lot from last year's Squad they lost a lot of players on their defensive line they lost a lot of players on their offense they lost their running back Brooks they lost ad Mitchell they lost worthy first round wide receiver picks in the NFL draft but still they work the portal hard sarkeesian one of the best play callers in all of college football their offense is going to be good they're probably going to have a top 25 offense top 30 defense very talented team a top 10 overall roster in all of college football they're moving to a new conference the the SEC but they're coming over there on a high note right now having made the playoffs last season very talented team very deserving of the number four spot coming in at number five we have the Alabama Crimson Tide so not much of a falloff with Nick San retiring kayin dor great hire great coach the biggest thing here they lost 42 players on their roster to the NFL draft and to the transfer portal but kayin dor has been working overtime he's been working the portal he's been working recruiting they're one to two every single season in recruiting and they also have a top five transfer portal class this off season so everyone that Kaylin dbor lost he just picked up a player that can match that skill level at any single position on this team with the offense you have Jaylen milro coming back at the quarterback position he is a top five favorite right now for the Heisman he loves the Deep ball kayin dbor loves to go vertical and throw the Deep ball so they're going to pick up right where he left off with the Washington a Huskies this team to me they're going to be going 10 and two I think that's a pretty fair bet for them to go and they're probably going to make the playoffs for a lot of these teams I do have predictions videos too for every single one of of these teams where I go over their whole schedule trying to predict where they're going to fall during the regular season after that at Top 6 number six we have Old Miss so the Old Miss Rebels this is Lan kein team they have owned the off season this they've been getting a lot of offseason hype they were number one in the transfer portal they added a lot of offensive skill they're going to have a top 20 offense easy for the defense they're not going to have a great defense but they're going to have an above average defense and that's really all that they need to succeed and to make the playoffs if the game turns into a shootout they can technically score with any team in the country if there was ever a year for the rebels to make a run in the playoffs this is the season this is a senior team so they have to win it now coming in at number seven we have Notre Dame so Notre Dame added Riley Leonard the transfer quarterback from duke they also added the offensive coordinator Ken Den Brock coming over from LSU where he had the Heisman winning quarterback they're going to have a much improved modern day offense but all comes down to is Riley Leonard GNA be able to stay healthy will his ankle hold up we know they're going to have a great defense they have a top 10 defense every single season they're bringing back a lot of starters they're going to have a good run game they're going to have a good offensive line and they're going to have their best wide receiver core that they've had in a long time and they don't have a tough schedule this season they can easily walk into a 10-2 11- one season there's no Conference Championship for them because they're an independent and they can make the playoffs coming in at number eight we have Penn State Penn State is your perennial 10 and two team every single year they go 10 and two the only difference is now 12 teams get in the playoffs if they go 10- two this year coming out of the Big 10 they're going to make the playoffs you have drew Aller you have one of the deepest running back rooms in the country a great one-two punch they have a lot of skill at wide receiver they had the number one overall yard per game defense last season they have a lot of starters coming back so they're going to have a top 10 defense their offense was not good last season they have a new scheme this year as long as they're top 50 offense they're going to go 10 and two and they're probably going to make the playoffs coming in at number nine we have Michigan the defending national champs with Michigan they deserve to be number nine because they are the defending champs but outside of that they lost practically their entire starting team from last year they only have one player coming back as a starter on offense last season they do have about five defensive players coming back they're going to have a great defense that's what they do they're very skilled in the trenches on the offensive line on the defensive line and their linebacking Corp they're going to be good there they're still going to be deep there but har balls gone JJ McCarthy's gone Chiron Moore takes over as the head coach you're going to have a new starting quarterback lots of changes there plus you have the off the field stuff going on right now they have a lot of issues with the NCAA perhaps that could kind of cloud the season for them but I wouldn't be surprised if this season goes n if if they go nine and three this season so they could be a borderline potential make one of those last playoff spots I don't think they will but if they squeezed in that that is also very possible coming in at 10 we have Florida State so for Florida State they practically also lost their entire starting roster from last season they sent a lot of players off to the NFL really good team last season they had some injuries there at the end they're bringing in dju at the quarterback position he's going to be a good quarterback serviceable quarterback he's not going to win a Heisman he's not going to light it up on the stat sheet but he's gonna get touchdowns he's going to run and he's not going to have too many turnovers this is a very good team they will have a very good defense with a really good defensive line that's going to keep them in almost every single game and their schedule's not not too bad the season as long as they make it to the ACC Championship win the ACC Championship then they get it in then then they get into the playoffs that's really all that matters outside of that we have number 11 we have Missouri so Missouri had a top 30 offense last season had a top 30 defense they have cooked back a quarterback they did lose Baker as the defensive coordinator this team has the easiest schedule in the SEC they almost play none of the big teams they do play Bama outside of that it's kind of a cakewalk they could easily fall fall into a 10 and2 season and potentially find thems in the SEC Championship and that's without really losing any of their tough games if they just beat the easy games they have they could go 11 and one just because there's really no tests outside of one or two games the whole season this is their easiest schedule they've had in decades so they just have to win the games that they're supposed to win and they have a shot to make the playoffs coming in at number 12 we have the Utah Utes so Utah they move move from the Pack 12 to the Big 12 this season they're the highest ranked team in the Big 12 cam Rising is back at the quarterback position he did miss all of last season they still won eight games last year Kyle Whittingham as the head coach is the second longest tenur head coach in all of college football he wins nine 10 games every single season with three star players one of the best coaches at Player Development there is their defense is going to be solid especially on special teams they're going to be able to run the ball cam Rising can be the Difference Maker he is the team that I pick to win the Big 12 as of right now preseason as long as they live up to the expectations they have coming into this year so they just have to win the Big 12 and they're in the playoffs but if they still go 10-2 or 11 and one they'll probably make the playoffs anyways after that number 13 we have LSU so LSU lost a lot of pieces from last year they lost Ken Den Brock as the offensive coordinator they lost jayen Daniels as the quarterback who did win the Heisman last season they lost Malik neighbors first round wide receiver pick one of the best wide receivers the last few years in all of college football but their defense was atrocious last season they had like the number 80th defense in the country they obviously have Baker coming over as as the defensive coordinator if he can get them into the top 50 this season nus me will be able to sling it at quarterback they're going to score points they're going to move the ball but how improved will their defense be as high as they go that all depends on how improved their defense is Top 14 this year coming in a 14 we have have Clemson Clemson great team Davos Sweeney but again the question is the offensive side of the ball they had a top 10 defense last season especially in the trenches but offense was the issue Club Nick at quarterback mafa at running back they have a little better wide receiver cord than they've had in probably about three to four seasons can they adapt to Riley's scheme can they get the air raid going can kumnick actually live up to his five-star quarterback expectations coming out of high school if they just get the offense to a top 40 offense this is easily a 10-2 11-1 ACC Championship caliber team but we need to see more out of Club Nick coming in at 15 we have Tennessee so the Tennessee Volunteers very talented team you have Josh hpel as the head coach he's going to light it up he runs the air raid you have Nico taking over as quarterback starting out the season as a starting quarterback he's going to flourish in this air raid system this is an air raid but they run the ball extremely well they have a good line they have squirrel white at wide receiver they had a top 30 defense last season so as long as they live up to the defense they had last year the offense is going to be much improved Nico is way better than Joe Milton this is a very talented team and they're kind of an outside potential team to make the playoffs so keep your eye on the volunteers this year coming in 16 we have Oklahoma Oklahoma a lot of people don't want them here in this position they don't think they're going to finish this season in the top 25 I think Vegas has them coming in at seven and a half wins it's pretty low but they have a brutal schedule they're new to the SEC and they play a lot of the power teams in the SEC this year it's a gauntlet that they have to run through very good team last season the offense is going to do well they have the new five-star quarterback taken over they're going to be able to move the ball they have the running game they have great wide receivers they have a good offensive line their defense under Brent venol has been getting better every season got he got them into the top 50 last season they're going to be top 40 top 30 this year they're going to get better every season he's top 10 recruiting and transfer portal classes every year that he's been the head coach do not underestimate this roster it's number 11 in the country according to ESPN for four and five stars they they deserve to be ranked here but just due to their schedule I don't know if they're going to be able to finish the season ranked where they started this season coming in at number 17 we have Oklahoma State Oklahoma State Mike Gundy the number one most tenured head coach in all of college football every year you get the same product nine 10 wins every year with three star players and he has the best running back in all of college football he has Gordon back at the running back position had 21 touchdowns last year 1750 yards they're going to be able to run it they have a great offensive line a senior Laden offensive line just can they get better at the quarterback position he was the main thing that held them back last season the wide receivers should be better the offense defensive line should be better with the better offensive line Comes A Better Run game so that should open up some holes for the quarterback they they they deserve to be ranked here and they're kind of an outlier to also potentially win the Big 12 you kind of have the favorites you have Utah you have Oklahoma State and you have Kansas state so they could also potentially make a run at one of those guaranteed playoff spots coming in at Top 18 number 18 we have Kansas State that's another big 12 team very talented team very good head coach deep running back room they have Avery coming in as the quarterback this is his first year starting from the jump they have a good wide receiver room they play good defense they don't play great defense but they play solid sound defense they're an easy 10 and two team 10 and two in the Big 12 could get you into the Big 12 Championship like I said your favorites in the Big 12 Utah Kansas State and Oklahoma State any one of those three could win the Big 12 this year coming in at number 19 we have the Miami Hurricane so the Miami Hurricanes have the number 10 over all roster according to ESPN for four and five stars they're going to have a top 20 offense this year they need to get the defense to being a top 30 defense I think they're around number 35 last season so they just have to get a little better you have Cameron Ward coming in as the quarterback you have Damen Martinez taking over as the running back one of the better running backs in all college football cam Ward was the number one transfer portal quarterback in all of college football he's going to make this roster that much better they've one of the deeper running back rooms and one of the best wide receiver cores Mario Chris the ball just has to get out of his own way and this team could make a run at the ACC Championship for your ACC favorites you're going to have Florida State Clemson and Miami it's probably going to be one of those three that wins the ACC and gets the guaranteed playoff spot coming in at number 20 we have the Texas A&M agies the Aggies also have a top 10 roster they're loaded with four and five star players but they can just never get everything on the same page something always goes wrong every single season but it's not due to lack of talent Jimbo Fisher is gone they bring in Elco as the head coach he's revamping this team changing the roster changing the scheme talented group Connor Wegman back at quarterback he could be the Difference Maker their schedule's not too easy starting out the year with Notre Dame but I think they could easy walk into an eight and Four Season get a good bowl game win it and finish the year with nine wins that's going to finish you ranked they're probably going to finish the year close to around where they started which is a really good first season for Mike Alco coming in at 21 we have Arizona so Arizona they won 10 games last season they definitely deserve to be ranked at in well in in the top 25 to start the season talented roster they have faf at quarterback but they lost their head coach 66% of they they have for returning production this season that's one of the best in the country they're talented on offense they had a solid defense last season we just don't know how they're going to do they they have a new coach so that's new scheme so we don't know how the players are going to adapt for the scheme that's the only knock that we have on them is the unknown coming in at number 22 we have Kansas so just like Kansas State Kansas is a very talented team one of the best running back rooms led by Neil they're going to be able to run the ball they play average defense so they'll keep the game close at the quarterback position the biggest question is Daniels Daniels is hurt every single season has not played a full season yet in his college football career if he can play a full season he can run he can throw he's a Difference Maker if he stays healthy if if he plays as he always does he could potentially get Kansas to a big 12 championship and get this to a 10 and two team if not you know they might be sitting at that 9 and3 status which probably isn't going to be good enough to get them into the Big 12 Championship but it will still be will be good enough to get them to finish the season in the top 25 coming in at 23 we have the USC Trojans a lot of people don't want them ranked Vegas has them coming in at seven and a half wins to start the season very talented team on offense you have Lincoln Riley the best offensive mind in college football history you have Miller Moss taking over as the quarterback you still have Branch at the wide receiver position on defense Lynn is taking over as a defensive coordinator their Achilles heel has been their defense has been a complete joke under Lincoln Riley but with Lynn taking over he bought the Bruins from number 88 to number 18 in one season if if he can in any way just get the Trojans from the 90th offense to the 50th offense they could potentially make the Big 10 Championship that's how good their offense is when you have Lincoln Ry calling plays just have a serviceable defense that's all you need and you could win games they're probably going to finish the year eight- four nine and3 at best but that's really good and for the Trojans that's going to keep you in the top 25 coming in at 24 we have NC State they always have a solid defense they always run the ball well they always have a good offensive line schedule's not too bad this year they have one of the easier schedules in the ACC and a lot of people has them as an outlier to potentially make the ACC Championship coming in at 25 we have the Iowa hawkey I kind of have a LoveHate relationship with Iowa Kirk fence great coach but he's led the offense to be abysmal basically they had the number 125th offense in the country last season that is pathetic they still had a top 10 defense had their offense just been able to get a couple first downs they could have potentially made a run at another big 10 title to try to win a big 10 title but their offense is just always a complete joke there's no need for it to be that way but he did fire the coordinator who was his son of course they say they're going to throw the ball a lot more this season we'll have to wait to see it to make sure that that actually happens but Iowa they're going to have a top 10 defense if the offense can just be serviceable top 60 top 70 top 100 they could potentially make an outside run at the Big 10 Championship so some of the other teams you have that just barely missed the top 25 you have Louisville under Jeff Braum they won 10 games last season they did lose a lot of their players to the draft but they've been working the portal hard they're probably going to finish the year top 25 very talented roster still you have Virginia Tech they've made great advancements going forward they run the ball well they have an outside chance to finish the year in the top 25 you have Boise State at 47 Boise State five-star quarterback coming in very talented roster not a hard schedule they can finish the year top SMU should definitely be ranked right now in the top 25 stone is back at quarterback you have red Lashley you have Knighton you have a top 30 offense top 30 defense returning from last season they're going to be a very talented team they're going to finish the year top 25 and they have one of the easier schedules in the ACC still so that's our breakdown that's our reaction to the AP poll top 25 that just came out if you have any comments drop them below and I will make sure to respond thank you
