re: ESPN Way Too Early Top 25

We probably had 16 total declare. Some of them weren’t starters (like Blue)

You also had 11 go to the portal. You will have a very inexperienced QB, a very young OL, some key defensive positions to fill and you think you should be ranked ahead of the team that just won a national championship?

I think y'all are going to suffer growing pains at least one season with Manning. The jury is still out on how good he may become. Having a name does not make the man.

He started 3 games this year, and had more touchdowns in the A&M game than your own starter did.

a very young OL,

Campbell returns, Goosby manhandled your defensive line, Neto and Hudson played significant snaps this year.

We have 1 corner spot that's up in the air lol.

Personally I don't want to be ranked 1 going into the season. I'm just pointing out that tOSU being ranked 1 is objectively wrong.

Experience wise, yes he'll make some mistakes. He's also had 2 years to learn the system and as been learning at a high level since he was playing pee wee football.

There is a reason he is top 2 in heisman odds for 2025.

Not bad. Switch Bammer and Tennessee and then switch Texas and Ohio state.

Where's Arkansas? Lol
