They look better than I think a lot of people thought they would. I could see them winning the Big 10.

[@timborham5237]

[@RobertSkinner-ol7rf]

USC offense is exactly what you expect under Lincoln Reilly. The defense has clearly improved, but one offseason isn’t enough for their new defensive coordinator to make that defense a top competitor. Once you get into the thick of the season when offenses are really clicking, you’ll see some Big 10 teams start throwing up more points on them.

@@dominicgunderson honestly it was no random, a video from Bengal popped up on my KZbin homepage talking about CFB25 and I thought it was cool, watched some of his streams and I was interested so I’ve been playing the game and I thought I may as well watch a game if possible and I really enjoyed it! I don’t have much of a connection to many teams if I’m honest I like the longhorns as that was the first game I watched and my favourite COD team is OpTic and they are called OpTic Texas so kinda makes sense - but honestly just watching what I can, even if it’s highlights etc!

So far I think the USC defense and Nebraska offense are the two most improved units in CFB. Both already had the other side of the ball taken care of, and now both are showing extreme CFP promise. This week will be a test for both teams, but when they play each other, that will be an absolutely awesome matchup.

[@DeshCanter]

As a seminarian, be honest. How many times did you predict Michigan losses last year? Did you predict Michigan would win at Penn State without Harbaugh? Did you predict they would beat Ohio State without Harbaugh? Did you predict they would beat Alabama? Did you predict they’d beat Washington by 21? To be clear, I think Michigan has a shot to beat USC if and only if their defense gets at least one TO with a short field and if they stay within 10 points at half. And those criteria are based solely on what were seen. We’ve not seen Orji start a game or settle into the offense. A few long, sustained, pound the rock and run the clock drives by Michigan that end in points……could set the agenda for the game. Put a gun to my head, though, and I’d say USC 34, Michigan 23.

SC home it's 36-10 but at Michigan it's a toss up . Michigan lot of trick plays and look for block punt.

Big House isn’t enough to turn 26 points into a toss up. It doesn’t trap sound in so crowd isn’t too big a factor.

Florida has had a 10 win season with Muschamp, McElwain, and Mullens after Meyer left. The potential is there. UF is still a top 20 winning program in CFB history.

I really don't even know how we're ranked, Go Blue!

Klatt calling out fsu for building through the portal without any mention of his beloved Colorado is unsurprising

These tiers are crazy. You shoulda called me

Sometimes i think these football folks give a team more credit so when they lose, the other team looks even better. Michigan defense is fine but their offense isn't going to keep up with USC's. They just haven't shown it this season. Their line is great. Their QB's aren't dynamic. If Alex O can't throw the ball, i don't see Michigan staying in this game. I think USC might put up Texas numbers against Michigan.

Remember folks, this guy favored Colorado by three over Nebraska!

Tennessee looks really good; however I feel they’re being a little bit overhyped but we’ll see

Can't understand how Arizona State is not on your Big 12 tier list.
