Thank the Lord the A&M ND game is a night game!!

Can't wait!

[@jmjones7897]

I like your Aggies in this one. Good on y'all for scheduling real Contests early. Smash 'em. Good luck and respect from Missouri

[@graceypatrick]

No. The Irish will win

[@jclevengerjr]

I can't believe you're putting Florida above GA. I mean seriously Mike. There is no way Florida has a better top 3 than GA and I am a Tennessee fan. I don't like either team. Anyway.

[@RyanGuillebeau]

I was going to say the exact same thing Florida quarterback is not better than Georgia’s quarterback by a longshot and it is a very hard cell to say they have more talent at wide receiver or running back Not to mention They play every year and they’ve lost all but two games With Kirby as head coach

[@zophix-5741]

Does anyone else think the Nico hype is a bit unreal?

[@OFWGKTADGD]

From the same people saying overthrow joe was going to win a heisman or that Tennessee was the number 1 team in the country.

[@user-hb3sb7uw4j]

Why would you not think the Nico hype is gold, Tennessee has had great QBs after Payton and Martin. Dobbs, Ainge, Hooker. But everyone even Tennessee fans knew Joe was not the answer, but hell yes there is a new sheriff in town.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

No one's immune to injuries

[@jamiethornton6101]

Kansas is a good backup plan. If you can only get an odd number of schools from the ACC, you will need one more from the BIG 12 to even it out. Kansas gives you basketball value and gives you three bluebloods in basketball with Kentucky, UNC, and Kansas. Plus, they give you another Vandy in football. You nailed it Mike. All these schools coming in, it's a math game. The SEC needs another easy opponet on the schedule, to get the top teams into the CFB playoffs. You can't have the top 20 CFB programs in the SEC. So it's a win win on that. on top of that, they have a lot of $$$$ from the basketball brand. They are building a new 460 million dollar football stadium at Kansas.

[@Fearlessleadr7]

LSUs RBs are dangerous: Kaleb Jackson: (see his run vs Miss St Wisconsin and spring game) Is your traditional LSU running back like Jeremy Hill, like Fournette, like Derrius Guice. Give that guy 20 carries he gets you +100 yds. Caden Durham: have you seen any Texas HS track and field this year?? If you did you can’t miss Caden Durham the 2nd fastest man in Texas HS track. He’s a consistent 10.4 100 meter guy. That’s about a 4.36 40yard dash. He was also the MVP for Duncanville’s Texas State championship football team. He has a highlight tape of touchdown and he barely ever gets touched. Give that guy 10 touches a game Yes he’s a freshman but he has the size and speed to put points on the board and the room is lite enough to warrant his touches. Sure worry about the amount of backs in the room… But the backs they do have are blue chip studs. I predict LSU running more power and leaning on play action passes. Watch out. PS: the fastest man in Texas Track and Field is Jelani Watkins running in the 10.2’s… he’ll be play at LSU this summer also at WR. 🍻

[@PHUnkel66]

LSU at 10 right now it fine. The played a inside zone run because JD5 was so explosive. It is going to change quiet a bit. Kaleb Jackson will probably be the #1. They are young. Obviously, the WR are unproven except for Lacy. With that Oline they will move up.

[@brianroyster7510]

Holy shit! SEC Basketball would befuckingawesome! It's great now! But with UNC, Kansas and Virginia.

SEC was always awesome to watch not just due to great matchups but CBS also had the best presenters with the best high bitrate 1080 feed. By far the best quality in every aspect (team matchup, presentation and high quality 1080 feed). I was so excited until I found out it will be on crappy ABC low bitrate 720p feed with their average presentation. ABC CFB is by far the worst. I'm also going to miss that iconic CBS music too!

[@user-xp6qd4sk1j]

LSU Nuss 3,000+ passing WR Lacey 1,000 yd receiver RB Jackson 1,000 yd rusher. How that ranks in SEC haven't a clue. All 3 are all damn good.

[@awanishranjan1814]

Injured QB usually has unattractive stats, Mike. It doesn't take a genius to figure that. JAXSON Dart will light it up if he stays injury free for the year.

[@marcusreedy6612]

I think the Hogs and Bobby gone show the world some sleep on our backfield or wide receivers

[@user-hb3sb7uw4j]

Out of any teams that need to be in the SEC the Tarheels need to be there.

[@chasewmoore]

Mizzou has two running backs that could be top running backs in Schrader’s role last year. Nate is extremely fast and shifty and Carrol is a much stronger more powerful runner

[@RyanGuillebeau]

Kentucky has a top five receiver in the country according to you in a previous video and you may not know a lot about Brock Vandergriff but you do know he’s a five star quarterback that has been developed for three years at the best team in college football over that span Kentucky seems to always find somebody at running back that is middle of the pack in the SEC at least Kentucky beat Florida last year and you have them second in this video Mike probably would disagree but I think he might be a Florida fan angry about the way things ended last year

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Legette wasn't number 1 or 2 at WR at the start of the season either. No one in the SEC even knew who he was. We added 2 great RBs that were successful at the lower level. And a handful of WRs.

[@TexasSiege]

Jaydon Blue was ranked the number 1 running back in his class but chose to sit his senior season and just train for college ball.. the recruiting ranking services then dissed him and he ended up a lower rank.. make no mistake “Jett Blue” is a weapon. Tashard Choice has compared him to Jahmyr Gibbs whom he coached at Georgia Tech.

[@ThatSECPodcast]

247 Composite has him listed as #15 RB

[@ronthecon9772]

Yes clearly UF is as a former NC

[@michaelroberts6534]

Burden is better than Tre Harris even though Tre Harris averaged 4.1 yards more last season? And tbh that’s with a tougher schedule than Missouri. Sorry guys but I don’t think Missouri has a better receiver and I think we at Ole Miss have the best receiving room in all of college football in 2024. Also Dart will be a top 5 qb in 2024.

[@ThatSECPodcast]

Never look at stats to determine how good a player is, that's a horrible way to do it. Case Keenum, Timmy Chang and Landry Jones are the best QBs in college history if we are just going to go off stats.

[@michaelroberts6534]

@@ThatSECPodcast so what are you basing it off of? Not trying to be a smart ass btw lol seriously just curious. Because I genuinely don’t think Tre Harris takes a back seat to anyone but I’m an Ole Miss homer 😂

[@larryhildebrand2585]

Dylan Sampson was very good against strong teams last year. He didnt just play 4th quarter plays. We had almost a 3 back rotation all year. You say Darnold at OU is good because 1 start that he struhhled yet Nico is an unknown. Nico had 1 statt too. Blowout win over a top 15 team with a top 3 defense in the country. 35 points. Mark my words, Nico will have a season closer to 2022 than 2023 vols qbs.

[@user-xb9di4eo4h]

LSU has a dog at rb with Kaleb Jackson and he is running behind a top 3 offensive line. #10 is disrespectful with the quality of players they have on offense. Ridiculously stupid take.

As always the State Haters come through. You pick Thorne over Shapen and Freeze over Lebby ? Did you saw the spring game ... 40+ yard bombs all over the place. Thorne cant even complete a 2 yard handover for a jet sweep. And Arkansas is the same, no KJ, no Rocket and you putt them over State .... What did Petrino in Aggie land ? Did he win something ? Hey Cousin Mike ... wanna make a bet ? Arkansas will go down in Starkville ! There is no way we lose to freakin Arkansas. We had 1 bad season out of the last 14 years and a 13 year bowl streak what was the 3rd longest in all SEC behind UGA and Bama. We will get our stuff together ! And TN at #5 or #8 with a unproven QB who coudnt throw for 150 yards against Iowa who would win 3 games in the SEC.

[@ronthecon9772]

As a Mizzou fan for over 50 years ... we do not have the best OL in the SEC. Nothing is proven with the transfers in or Players that move up to fill the two vacated spots. And our OC has snap issues over and over again. Burden and Wease are near the top as WR and the 3rd WR will be pretty dang good as well in Cooper. Probably not the best 3 WR in the SEC but upper crust for sure.

[@jmjones7897]

​@@ronthecon9772Fair enough, also Marquis Johnson and Norfleet at TE. The 2 Line transfers are unknown quantities Though highly rated Particularly transfer from Oklahoma. Schedule sets up nicely for them to Gel as a unit, Norfleet at TE year 2 is huge. We do have the top #1 Receiver, for overall depth and quality that position group is as good as anyone. It's mid-May, anything can happen between now and New Years. It's good to be realistically excited for Missouri Football going into this season
