If Louisville is a top 40 team I'll eat my hat.

Why is that so crazy to you? 8-5 finish with a bowl win over a SEC team with our whole offense returning. Top 25? I don't know. Top 40? Sure. Keep in mind we were projected to win 2-3 games in 2019. Satterfield is doing a terrific job

Below is a composite ranking of 11 Post-Spring 2020 Preseason Recruiting Rankings that have been released so far.... still waiting on some big ones like Lindy's, Street & Smith, Phil Steele, etc..... but there's been enough released that we'll have a pretty good idea as to how the first AP rankings might look in August: *Change in ranking compared to the composite of 20 "Way-Too-Early Preseason Rankings" that were released back in January after the end of the season:

kudos for the great work! Here’s my take!

With Covid 19 this season, these opinions are as worthless as Bama and GA are irrelevant and no longer ELITE TOP 4 Likely CFP Locks until they win another SEC title. PERIOD. GET THE NETS!!!

ALABAMA 8th in my preseason!
Tide finished 8th and LOST TO EVERY TOP 10 TEAM IT PLAYED IN 2019 and they’re due 2-3 losses again this year. They likely finish 3rd in SEC West. Saban turns 69 this year and the decline is both real and sad. Definitely losing again to LSU and one of its final two. Possible loss to GA in the Irrelevant Bowl in Tuscaloosa on Sept 12. The USC opener is no cakewalk as USC is ranked and could give Bama a game for a few quarters as did Michigan, down 21-16 and moving to take a lead in the 4th before a pick ended it. Another Top 10 finish an attaboy for Saban!

GEORGIA FIFTH until beaten by FLA!
GA SPEED DEMON transfer Jamie Newton
Newman ran the fastest CFB Offense in America
Georgia ran one of the slowest offenses in CFB (bottom quarter) and is hoping to hurry up O and go up tempo. Expect GA to run 75 plays a game in 2020 with Newman. The Irrelevant Bowl on Sept 12 is GA’s one big chance to capture a truly magical season. Lose Sept 12 and it’s uphill to an SECCG

Cleared out all that “ELITE WANNABEE” rubbish, now let’s get down to the meat!

Ohio State Tie # 1
LSU Tie # 1

2020 will be a lather rinse repeat season in Year Two LSU Spread and Shred

I anticipate clearly dominant teams causing chaos in CFP Polls in WHO’s NUMBER ONE arguments, with a SECCG settling the matter for seeding 1 & 2. The race for a Heisman will be between Fields and Brennan with Fields a senior likely to get that nod over a junior.

Clemson Ranked 3rd

Notre Dame has a season of cupcakes and could take Clemson’s “assigned CFP spot” in the event of an upset.

Florida Ranked 4th*
LSU’s likely repeat opponent for the SECCG
After 10-3 and 11-2, Mullen ain’t screwing around and Senior Kyle Trask is a good QB.
Florida goes 12-1 beating GA this year.
*Huge IF = Trask and his left knee!
If Trask’s knee holds up, Florida takes East!

Playoffs

# 1 LSU vs # 4 Florida (3rd game of year?)
# 2 OSU vs # 3 Clemson

Natty LSU vs OSU
