Initial reaction is penn state is too high, LSU is too low. Both should be in the back half of the top 10.

Lmao Penn state has no business on this list.

Other than SMU and K State this is a pretty good list of the 30 or so programs who are actually playing CFB at the highest level and committed to doing so. That list may be about 48 or so teams but there is definitely a separation between this top 20 minus K State and SMU and the bottom 90 or so teams who are not playing the same game as 18 of these....

Not sure LSU's 2024 resume was all that much better but you don't seem to be complaining about being at 12.

Whale whale whale. Espn seems to know that we upgraded at QB but we are still under dawgs overall. Right where we want to be. The 2025 Tennessee offense will move just as fast as the 2022 version.

I don't see any legit reason that Georgia should be 6%+ higher than Ohio State or Alabama based on departures and returning players. Unless they think Georgia's schedule is just way easier... in which case, why is Clemson so low with all of their returning starters and an ACC schedule?

Bama is starting a first time QB, so no go there.
OSU lost nearly everyone but Smith
Clemson is back to Clempsoning

Stockton barely has more experience than whoever Bama or Ohio St is going with. He didn't exactly light it up.
Bama has more players returning. Better up front on both sides going into the season at least.
Ohio State has the best WR room in the country and probably the best defensive player.

We don't even know what we have in Arch yet. This is stupid. We lost a lot on defense and who knows what our WR group looks like this season.
Clickbait bullshite. Typical ESPN

Lol. I mean, we are in a heap of other teams with between a 1.5-3% chance. That isn't being particularly high on us.
