So, @Bobby Burton did the clock run out? 🙏 🤘

Just say no. 🤘

From your list, I'd be buying MSST and Ole Miss and selling Ags and Bama. I'd personally swap Florida and OU as well. They get my benefit of doubt until they don't, but I can see UGA taking a step back this year w some hard losses too. I have LSU on road as our most likely loss on our way to 11-1. Should be a hellacious season grind through the league. 🤘

Get X on the phone w/ Royal and Sales asap... I loved Goodwin - potential explosion every time. One of my favorite players of his era. 🤘

dayum.... 👀 🤘

Man, that 2005 defensive backfield.... wow. What a team and year that was. A lot of similarities to this team in terms of depth - if anything, feels like we are deeper now. As said above - WR seems like a stronger room now, but overall a lot of either/ors for me. Of course, we know how that year played out and still have to see this year, but the pieces are there. Let's go! 🤘

I prefer to take in most of these rankings in groups or tiers, rather than just serially. I just can't go with Cignetti over Smart and Ryan yet - let's see what happens this year with some new pieces and schedule. Regardless, that is probably Tier 1, take your pick and preferences... Tier 2 is Sark, Lanning, Freeman, and let's throw in Lane. Again, take your pick - I'm personally team Sark on that list, but any order is defensible. I think Sark has both the most upside of the group AND the most likely to stumble or fall. Hopefully not. Aside from just coaching, running the program is one of the biggest factors in modern game, and Sark may be Tier 1 in that. One from this list is likely to move up to Tier 1 this year if they can put together a NC win or at least strong run. The rest, to me a clear drop off. I personally like Wittingham hire at Michigan quite a bit, but don't know that it puts him in an elite zone any time soon. Conceivable though. Cristobal best of rest imo. Elko and DeBoer not so much and think Alabama has a further down year so he probably drops off list. A pretty big drop to the next tier as well, which is basically the norm / avg and where most reside. I also know nothing, so there's that. 😜 Interesting question to me is always who might catapult into one of the top tiers from below or even outside (a la Cignetti). 🤘

meh, for me seems like a thing who's time has gone... used to love getting (any and all of) these, but increasingly the information is stale and the insights poor. Your mileage may vary.... 🤘

also breaking: double LSU legacy Marcus Spears Jr commits to Texas, regardless of Tiger's NIL... 😜 🤘

Probably on purpose... 🤘

Next 🤘

oooof - please don't adulterate my snacks like that... gross lol 🤘

Boom! 🤘

I mean, if you aren't on that list, do you even play QB? 🤘

That'd be a bummer. I liked the Greedy commit, and I'm all in anti-LSU... 🤘

Nice! 🤘

Awesome! 🤘

So for Top 10: 5 Big10 schools (3 of which are PAC), 3 SEC, 2 ACC and.... zero Big 12. Got it. 🤘

and they could conceivably be even better next year? let's go! 🤘

There's a behind the scenes or something on YouTube about caddyshack. He'd never done a movie before, didn't know what he was doing, no script.... they'd just point him up on the set and say go and not stop filming... lol 🤘

wheeeeeew (exhale)... 🤘

Anna is my cousin 🤘

I'm actually glad they got a run, lol. 🤘

I also am not fully bought on Cignetti either... I'd have Kirby and probably Day over Cignetti personally. I think that's recency bias and flavor of the month at work... Not saying he isn't good, but Let him do it again then we can talk... wouldn't really want him at Texas either, but that's just me. #teamSark 🤘

I have no problem with the list or any of the tweaks above, but I also wouldn't trade Sark for anyone on the list. Fit and temperament and style, time and place. A NC or two and he'll quickly ascend that list as well. 🤘
