And... it's a Great Day to be a Buckeye!!

[@annarborbuckeye95]

NCAA College Football bringing back all the OG gamers. Dynasty mode all night flights lol Cody Simon out. CJ & Sonny are my backers. J Smith will be a 84 overall as a true freshman On another note, Ohio State will start a dynasty and make that run as soon as this yr. Go Buckeyes

[@sheasykes1114]

JJ will be an 85 to start the season. He will be the highest rated player in the game next year

[@Mr_Substantial]

The ending with Birm was worth the watch. Them poor cats.

[@RKA91]

Thanks guys🎉GO BUCKS😤💯

[@mecahhannah]

Awesome as always thanks guys go bucks ❤

[@robschaller9061]

I think both guys blow up this season (JTT and Sawyer) The good news is they update everything weekly...

[@rickygeiger1243]

FWIW Bill, NFL stock exchange (a good draft podcast) had Donovan Jackson as iOL 6 and iOL 2 the other day. Also had josh Simmons at ot8 and ot3. But shows each have high upside, as guys that have actually watched their tape relative to class have them ranked that way

[@rickygeiger1243]

Tyler Booker is likely the best guard in the country at Bama. Can argue for Donovan at 2, can still put others ahead of him, but he's in that second tier that starts at player 2 IMO

[@alinks421]

Wish i could still run read option with Braxton... unstoppable

[@BrotherLove3]

Yeah, JT has had a couple of break out moments, but Sawyer has been consistent in every game and at times JT seems to disappear in games, especially those of less importance! Not knocking him, but understand the reasoning behind the decision! Sawyer reminds me of Sam Hubbard. And He only got better and better and better with time and so has Jack Sawyer!!!

[@antmillner]

Birm is right. JTT could be a 90 and still not make the top 100. Two players can have the same rating number but 1 guy can be higher. The system can have a 90.2 and a 90.1. But we can't see that (.)

[@18bschade]

Why would 100 players be the magic number to be 90 or above? That actually makes no sense and would be weird to have that cutoff

[@jackbrunk3907]

Agreed.

[@rickyortiz2463]

The Love that Donovan Edwards gets is crazy. well rivals did rate him a 5 star, and he did show up for the biggest games Michigan had... Lets be honest, it's not that crazy.

[@OfficiallyOrca]

Will Howard 86

[@sheasykes1114]

Will howard is actually an 85

[@charleskennedy5774]

Has JT had a good game against a quality O-lineman? Not to my memory

[@KylelStaley]

He has cooked Olu Fashanu 2 years in a row he was a top 10 pick

[@jerrico001]

It's amusing to watch folks agonize over these “initial” rankings as if the rankings themselves are set in stone for the entirety of the college football season.🤦🏾‍♂😂 EA Sports has done its job by garnering soooo much feedback and interest.😁

[@buckeyeawesome69]

Probably cause it’s their most anticipated video game release in years

[@tyler2009123]

Why do you guys make videos about this game once a week? Many of us have pre-ordered and are excited for it, but we don’t come here for that. I can’t imagine any of you even know how to pitch or shed a block on next gen consoles 😂

[@theonly_VT]

Their rankings are trash.

[@buckeye4ever419]

Talking about children's video games? How does a grown man with a job, family and other obligations have a chance to play a video game? Last time I played video games it required a quarter but I was in High School. 😁🤣😂

[@robertjulieannanalett1691]

More importantly how does a grown man talk about a video game and remain a serious reporter

[@buckeye4ever419]

@@robertjulieannanalett1691 Yep or wrasslin'. 😁🤣

[@OpenMikein7]

Same way a grown man can find the time to comment on KZbin about what other grown men are doing 😂 congrats on the quarter in high school thing, you're really old 😂🤣

[@willtolbert682]

how can a grown man watch videos on youtube wouldn’t a real man be outside getting shit done?

[@buckeye4ever419]

@@willtolbert682 I get more done before 9 am than most do in a day. Thank Army.

[@gbrown4190]

Yall have the best roster every year and never win anything 😂😂😂

[@daviddownie3431]

JT is not a dominating player.

[@timper4326]

Y'all could have just taken the day off and spent it with your families.

[@OpenMikein7]

Do you have a family? Or a life??

[@jblacktree]

Am I just old, but is a podcast by professional journalists about a effin' video game realllly puerile and a waste of time?

[@jdburch]

Probably just old. But so am I and it was a complete waste of time. Buts it’s July 11th. What else is there to talk about?

[@matthewmiller5194]

They are just comparing the kids rating on the new game and what they are actually capable of

[@ryanbivens9409]

Just old af

[@tyler2009123]

@@ryanbivens9409nah I’m a millennial who has preordered it, but I don’t come here to listen to mid 30s guys talk about a video game they don’t even know how to play. Plenty of actually video game content on here. I’m good on them talking it.
