As year 2 of CFB is coming very soon, I felt like it would be a great time to review the teams 1 season into the cycle.
I will be reviewing each team, with a dive into the key players, team overalls, and projected conference champs.
ACC:
LSU (2): Warren starts off ranked #2 in the preseason poll behind Oklahoma. Warren finished with a strong season year 1, finishing 14-3, making the CFB championship, and losing a close game to Hero in the Natty. I, like most people in the league, expect Warren to be a top user if not THE top user this season, and he’s got a good team to do it, led by a stacked defense that is spearheaded by two elite edge rushers, and a great Mike LB roaming the field. Warrens defense has talent at all 3 levels inside and out, and with a new QB in Marcel Reed (90 ovr) to lead his offense after losing Nussmeyer to draft, to lead his high scoring offense attack, it’s no surprise Warren is expected to have another great season.
Team Rating: Ovr: 89 Off: 89 Def: 89
Key Players: LEDGE-Harold Perkins Jr (95 ovr), REDGE-Colin Simmons (95 ovr), C-Iapani Laloulu (95 ovr), MIKE-Whit Weeks (92 over), LT-Caleb Tiernan (93 ovr)
Michigan (3): Troy comes into the season ranked number 3 after a 12-2 season. Troy and Michigans season didn’t end how he wanted to after going 1-1 in the CFB playoff, but after a great year it’s no surprise he’s ranked so high despite not a lot of success in the CFB Playoff. His offense features some great talent at the O line and running back position. With Sophomore stand out, Bryce Underwood (86 ovr), and a two headed monster in the run game, with senior running backs Darius Taylor (94 ovr) and Justice Haynes (90 ovr), Troys offense will look to control the clock and dominate the trenches to another good year. On the other side of the ball, Despite a lacking trenches compared to the offense, the secondary has 3 senior playmakers at Corner (Jyaire Hill), and both safety positions (FS- Aiden Gousby 85 ovr, SS-Matthew Bailey 88 ovr), to help stop any high flying attack the ACC teams may throw his way.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 89 Off: 89 Def: 89
Key Players: HB-Darius Taylor (94 ovr), CB-Jyaire Hill (91 ovr), RT-Andrew Sprague (88 ovr), WILL- Troy Bowles (88 ovr), SS- Matt Bailey (88 ovr)
Ole Miss (8): Hooty orchestrated a successful high flying Air Raid attack, and finished the season 9-4, which granted him a CFB playoff spot, which unfortunately ended in a loss. This season, you may see him changing the offense game plan. After losing alot of starts on offense at all levels, but notably, his starting QB, and a few WRs, he may rely on Michigan-esque game plan of relying on his two junior stud running backs, in Isaac Brown (96 ovr) and Fluff Bothwell (92 ovr). Defensively, Hootys defense looks to stop both the ground game and passing attack. With 5 secondary players above an 85 overall rating, and 5 defensive linemen above an 85 overall rating, Hooty’sdefense got upgrades despite his offense downgrading. With a defense full of studs, and possibly a new offensive attack, watch for Hooty to have another winning season and a CFB playoff spot.
Team Rating: Ovr: 89 Off: 89 Def: 89
Key Players: HB- Isaac Brown (96 ovr), TE-Luke Hasz (93 ovr), SS- Isaac Smith (89 ovr), DT- Jamarious Brown (87 ovr), CB- Kaleb Patterson (87 ovr)
PSU(16): I (Jesse, Powerhouser1, dickhead, etc), finished the season last year at 8-5. Despite a winning record, PSU will have a lot to replace in season 2. After losing offensive playmakers in: Drew Allar (QB), Nick Singleton (HB), Kaytron Allen (HB). PSUs best Olineman, and Dani Dennis-Sutton (EDGE) on the defensive side, to either draft or graduation, the Nittany Lions have some questions going into this year. After a strong transfer portal class, PSU reloaded on the defensive side with Edge rusher Anthony Smith (89 ovr), and some great secondary players. Offensively, the trenches will need some work, but Redshirt Freshamn QB Ethan Grunkemeyer (82 ovr) will look to lead an offense featuring 2 good running backs and 2 good tight ends, to a success offensive year.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 92 Off: 91 Def: 94
Key Players: CB-A.J. Harris (93 ovr), WR-Kaden Saunders(90 ovr), LEDGE- Anthony Smith (89 ovr), TE- Dorian Fleming (89 ovr), SS- KP Price (88 ovr)
Kentucky: After a 6-7 record in season 1, Kentucky looks to get to a winning record in season 2, to dev some underclassmen and be a bigger presence in the transfer portal. Kentucky has big plans for the running game featuring a running back by committee attack, with 3 stud running backs in, Dante Dowdell (90 ovr), Jamarion Wilcox (86 ovr), and Cam Wallace (83 ovr). Defensively, despite not having top tier talent, Kentucky features some good underclassmen starting which will help for the future of this defense and the overall team.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 81 Off: 81 Def: 81
Key Players: HB- Dante Dowdell (90 ovr), QB-Keyone Jenkins (81 ovr), TE- Elijah Brown (82 ovr), WILL- Owen Chambliss (80 ovr), LEDGE- Mi’Quise Humphrey-Grace (82 ovr)
Indiana: Matt had a “taint” like season year 1, (uncharacteristic to his USC teams last cycle), and finished 4-8. Despite last season, this year there is a lot to be optimistic about, especially on the offensive side, with a stacked offense line, full of seniors, and a senior QB (Fernando Mendoza 90 ovr) to lead the offense. Defensively, he’s got some studs at all levels. With freshman LEDGE, Parker Meekins being one of them, he joins a defense with a loaded secondary, and a good DT (Tyrique Tucker 85 ovr) to help give him key 1 on 1 matchups in the pass rush.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 85 Off: 86 Def: 84
Key Players: LT- Carter Smith (92 ovr), Qb-Fernando Mendoza (90 ovr), WR- Omar Cooper JR (88 ovr), RG- Bray Lynch (87 ovr), SS- Philip Dunnam (87 ovr)
Michigan State: Krussifix ended season 1 with a 3-9 record, but had great plays, drives, and games during the season that leaves a lot of hope for this upcoming season with an upgraded Michigan State Spartan team. With a senior QB in Aiden Chiles (85 ovr), and two stud Wide receivers, Chrishon Mccgray (88 ovr) and Nick Marsh (86 ovr), his offensive attack could be a high flying spectacle. Defensively the front 7 is stacked with 2 good DTs in Alex Vansumeren (85 ovr) and Ben Roberts (83 ovr), 2 good Edge rushers in Derrick Simmons (84 ovr) and Jalen Thompson (83 ovr), and a great MLB in Jordan Hall (85 ovr). His team looks to control the trenches defensively.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 89 Off: 89 Def: 89
Key players: WR- Chrishon Mccray (88 ovr), DT- Alex Vansumeren (85 ovr), CB-Jaydan Mayes (87 ovr), MIKE- Jordan Hall (85 ovr), QB- Aiden Chiles (85 ovr)
Notre Dame: Gamble’s Fighting Irish finished season 1 strong with a 7-6 record featuring workhorse running back, Jeremiyah Love, but after losing him to the draft, Gamble has his successor in place to lead another rushing attack for the Irish. With Jadarian Price at halfback (91 ovr) and a great offensive line, Gamble is looking to control the trenches and clock with the rushing attack, but with Sophomore QB CJ Carr (86 ovr) back, and speedster Jaden Greathouse (90 ovr), the offensive game plan could take to the air. Defensively, Notre Dame will have a very formidable defense with talent and great players at every level, especially the secondary in CBs Leonard Moore (95 ovr) and Adon Shuler (84 ovr).
Team Ratings: Ovr: 94 Off: 94 Def: 94
Key Players: CB- Leonard Moore (95 ovr), RT- Aamil Wagner (94 ovr) , MIKE- Drayk Bowen (92 ovr), HB- Jadarian Price (91 ovr), WR- Jaden Greathouse (90 ovr)
CONFERENCE CHAMPION PREDICTION: WARREN🏆
Warren is the most elite user in this conference and can’t see anyone else taking it from him, especially with the team he has.
Big 10:
Clemson (11): Wohzi started the season strong and barely missed out on the CFB playoff with a 10-3 record. Despite losing QB Kade Clubnik and other starters to draft or graduation, Clemson has their new QB and reloaded at positions of need in the transfer portal and this years freshman class. Offensively Wohzi has great talent at every skill position, and a 90 speed Freshman Qb in Chris Denson (77 ovr) to work with. Defensively a formidable front 7, most notably, DTs: Vic Burley (86 ovr), Caden Story (85 ovr), and MIKE, Harrison Taggart (87 ovr), along a stacked secondary featuring, CBs: Ashton Hampton (85 ovr), DJ Barksdale (85 overall), could help Wozhi not only have another great season but make the CFB playoff.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 91 Off: 91 Def: 91
Key Players: WR- Bryant Wescoe (91 ovr), MIKE- Harrison Taggart (89 ovr), FS- Khalil Barnes (87 ovr), WR- Tyler Brown (87 ovr), DT- Vic Burley (86 ovr)
Colorado (10): Will, like Wohzi, before him, also had a great 10-3 season and barely missed out on the CFB playoff. With Redshirt Freshman QB. Julian Lewis (86 ovr) leading the offense full of talent at all skill positions, I think Will will have another great season and compete for the conference. Defensively the defense is as full of talent as the offense, featuring a defense with the likes of, REDGE Samuel Okunlola (86 ovr), DT- Jaheim Oatis (87 ovr), SAM- Carter Stoutmire (86 ovr), and CB- DJ Mckinney (91 ovr), it’ll be hard to score or stop Will this season.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 89 Off: 89 Def: 91
Key players: LT- Jordan Seaton (95 ovr), CB- Dj Mckinney (91 ovr), DT- Jaheim Oatis (87 ovr), SAM- Carter Stoutmire (86 ovr), REDGE- Samuel Okunlola (86 ovr).
USC (12): Austin finished year 1 with a 10-4 record which was good enough for a CFB playoff appearance in which he went 1-1. Trying to improve this season and make the playoffs once again, can do so with a strong secondary and linebacking corps featuring FS- Kamari Ramsey, CB- Jaheim Singletary, MIKE- Andrew Simpson, and SAM- Isaiah Glasker. Offensively there maybe QB battle for the number 1 spot between Senior QBs, Noah Fifita (89 ovr) and Jayden Maiava (87 ovr). Whoever is at the helm of the offense will have playmakers HB- Waymond Jordan (88) and WR Ja’Kobi Lane (94 ovr). With a strong defense and some talented weapons, Austin can repeat or improve on the success he had last year.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 87 Off: 86 Def: 89
Key Players: WR- Ja’Kobi Lane (94 ovr), MIKE- Andrew Simpson (90 ovr), FS-Kamari Ramsey (89 ovr), SAM- Isaiah Glasker (89 ovr), CB-Jaheim Singletary (88 ovr)
Washington (5): Morty had a great season with his beloved huskies finishing 11-3, but went 0-1 in the CFB playoff. This season, Morty is looking to repeat his success and make a run in the playoff, with an improved team both sides of the ball. On offense Junior QB Demond Williams JR (85 ovr) leads the attack featuring HB Zay Wilbon (84 ovr) and WR Denzel Boston (92 ovr), protected by a solid offensive line. Defensively he will have a legion of boom-esque secondary with Corners- Zabein Brown, Smith Snowden, and Strong Safety- Demetres Samuel JR, All while featuring a strong front 7.
Team Overalls: Ovr: 92 Off: 94 Def: 89
Key Players: WR- Denzel Boston (92 ovr), MIKE- Taariq Al-Uqdah (91 ovr), CB- Zabien Brown (89 ovr) , REDGE- Logan Fano (88 ovr), C- Tyson Ruffins (88 ovr).
Maryland: Gwap took the Terrapins to a 7-6 record in his first season and is looking to improve that record this upcoming season with 2 dynamic duos. Defensively at DT, he has Eyan Thomas and Bryce Jenkins, and Offensively at WR, he has Shazz Preston, and Ayden Williams. These duos will help their respective sides of the ball, and the offense will also benefit greatly from senior TE-Benji Gosnell. Maryland may not be a blue blood like some of the other schools in the league, but Gwap has a lot of underclassmen who already look good and will soon make Maryland a sneaky good team.
Team Overall: Ovr: 77 Off: 79 Def: 76
Key Players: TE- Benji Gosnell (85 overall), WR-Shazz Preston (85 ovr), DT- Eyan Thomas (83 ovr), DT- Bryce Jenkins (82 ovr), RT- Kevin Haywood (83 ovr).
Oregon: Doom had an uncharacteristic Doom season, finishing 6-6. I, like a lot of users, think Doom will be back to usual form, and he has a star studded team to do so. With a fearsome foursome on the offensive side featuring TE- Kenyon Sadiq, WRs Dakorien Moore, and Justius Love, and QB- Devon Dampier, and a solid offensive line to go along with those 4 playmakers. Defensively, there are studs at every single level, most notably Right Edge Rusher, Matayo Uiagalelei who will wreak havoc for any teams opposing QB.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 94 Off: 94 Def: 96
Key Players: REDGE- Matayo Uiagalelei (94 ovr), TE- Kenyon Sadiq (93 ovr), WR- Dakorien Moore (92 ovr), QB- Devon Dampier (91 ovr), SAM- Teitum Tuioti (89 ovr)
UNC- I am not sure who this gentleman is, but welcome to the league if you’re reading this, and I wish you success with UNC. With that being said, it may be a season or two before UNC sees any success, but they have some players to get some wins. With Dual threat QB- Gio Lopez, and weapons at RB (A.J. Turner), TE (Jake Johnson), and WR (Jordan Shipp). Defensively there’s not a ton of notable talent BUT, there are a lot of underclassmen who could make some plays and improve the team next year.
Team Ratings: OVR: 77 Off: 79 Def: 76
Key Players: HB- A.J. Turner (88 ovr), TE- Jake Johnson (TE), WR- Jordan Shipp (85 ovr), QB- Gio Lopez (84 ovr), WR- Chris Culliver (83 ovr).
South Carolina (7): Kiing takes over South Carolina after Allen B steps down. Kiing inherited a solid South Carolina team and looks to keep this top 10 ranking throughout the year and make the playoffs. Offensively the game plan will run through Senior WR and heisman winner- Nyck Harbor and WR Nathan Leacock. Throwing them the ball to replace Lannoris Sellers is sophomore, Air Noland. To go with those weapons will be HB- Isaiah Augustave and TE- Michael Smith. Defensively, Edge rusher, Dylan Stewart, and Safety Jalon Kilgore, lead a loaded defense for the Gamecocks. Both sides of the ball are loaded and Kiing has some speedy WRs again, I can see Kiing continuing Allen’s season 1 success.
Team ratings: Ovr: 89 Off: 89 Def: 89
Key Players: REDGE- Dylan Stewart (94 ovr), SS- Jalon Kilgore (91 ovr), Nathan Leacock (90 ovr), DT- Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy (89 ovr), HB- Isaiah Augustave (88 ovr).
CONFERENCE CHAMPION PREDICTION: Oregon 🏆
I think Dooms team is too stacked and if he even some what competes, will be too good to overcome.
Big 12:
Oklahoma (1): Tyree finished last season 9-5 with a 1-1 CFB playoff record and comes in as the number 1 ranked team in CFB. With a great team to help try and hold onto that number 1 ranking. Leading that team is QB John Mateer on offense along HB Xavier Robinson, WR Isaiah Sategna, and an elite offensive line. Defensively the unit is just as good with talent at all 3 levels, with players like DT- Jayden Jackson, MIKE- Kip Lewis, and CB- Eli Bowen. This sooners team is loaded with talent and looks to stay #1 throughout the season and make a run in the CFB playoff.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 94 Off: 94 Def: 94
Key players: QB- John Mateer (93 ovr), CB- Eli Bowen (92 ovr), LT- Trey Zuhn III (90 ovr), RG- Sheridan Wilson (89 ovr), MIKE- Kip Lewis (90 ovr).
Nebraska (6): After going 10-3 last season and going 0-1 in the playoffs, at #6 in the poll to start the year is offensive Guru K1ng, who looks to continue his high octane attack with JR QB Dylan Raiola, SR HB Carson Hansen, and JR WR Jacory Barney Jr. K1ngs offense will give any and every user problems, but his defense will cause problems with a good secondary and some great pass rush featuring players like: SS- Davaughn Patterson, CB- Kaleb Cost, CB- Jericho Washington Jr. and Edge- Williams Nwaneri. K1ng will be hard to stop offensively, but don’t be surprised if his defense is equally impressive.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 86 Off: 86 Def: 86
Key Players: HB- Carson Hansen (91 ovr), WR-Jacory Barney JR (89 ovr), QB- Dylan Raiola (89 ovr), CB- Jerico Washington Jr (87 ovr), CB- Kaleb Cost (87 ovr).
Texas: Evan and the longhorns finished year 1 at 8-5 and are returning QB Arch Manning to try and improve on last years success and also make the CFB playoff. Joining Arch on offense are HB Quintrevion Wisner, TE Jack Endries, and WR Deandre Moore Jr. Defensively, Safety Randon Fontenette and Corner Kobe Black are holding down the defense. Texas plays in a tough Big 12 but with the offensive firepower, a good o line, and Arch at the helm, this team can go toe to toe with anyone.
Team ratings: Ovr: 94 Off: 94 Def: 94
Key players: QB- Arch Manning (95 ovr), HB- Quintrevion Wisner (92 ovr), TE- Jack Endries (92 ovr), SS- Randon Fontenette (90 ovr), WR- Deandre Moore Jr (91 ovr).
Miami: My man Justin finished 5-7 season 1 which isn’t usual for a user like Justin. He’s hoping for a better season this year and his Hurricanes are built for the task. Losing starting QB Carson Beck, he replaces him with QB, Matt Chadwick to partner with SR RB- Mark Fletcher Jr, and to hit receiving target, Joshisa Trader. With a great d line featuring, DTs: Justin Scott, and Ahmad Moten Sr. and Edge rushers: Sincere Edwards and Hayden Lowe, along with a solid secondary, Justin should be back to above .500 in season 2.
Team ratings: Ovr: 88 Off: 86 Def: 91
Key players: HB- Mark Fletcher (91 ovr), DT- Justin Scott (90 ovr), WILL- Sammy Brown (89 ovr), CB- OJ Frederique JR, CB- Ethan O’Connor (87 overall)
Mizzou: RKO went 4-8 in season 1 in a tough Big 12 and is looking to bounce back and make an impact in conference play. Missouri, like USC, may have a QB competition for the starting role, between Senior Sam Horn, and redshirt Freshman, Matt Zollers. Whoever wins the battle will have a great RB in Ahmad Hardy and a solid WR in Shaun Terry II. On the defensive side, Edge rushers, Adepoju Adebawore and Damon Wilson II will book end a young but talented defense that looks to continue to grow and improve.
Team ratings: Ovr: 87 Off: 89 Def: 86
Key Players: RB- Ahmad Hardy (93 ovr), MIKE- Josiah Trotter (90 ovr), REDGE- Adepoju Adebawore (86 ovr), QB- Sam Horn (84 ovr), LG- Trevor Buhr (84 ovr).
Texas A&M: New comer Juice takes over a loaded TAMU team and could be a contender in the Big 12. After a 2-4 start after joining mid season year 1, he and his team should be improved after half a season of play. A&Ms strength is on the defensive side of the ball, more specifically the secondary feature not 2 but 3 great safeties and some good CBs. Rookie QB Eli Morcos could see playing time if Senior QB Brayden Fowler- Nicolosi isn’t Juice’s type of QB, and the dual threat attack of HBs, Seth Mcgowan and Cam Cook will keep the Aggies in control of the clock and the trenches.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 92 Off: 91 Def: 94
Key Players: SS- Dalton Brooks (91 ovr) SS- Jelani Mcdonald (89 ovr), FS- Bryce Anderson (89 ovr), LG- Chase (90 ovr), CB- Brian Nelson II (87 ovr)
Pitt (23): Newcomer Mongo takes over a pretty decent Pitt team. With JR QB Eli Holstein still in command of the offense, and 3 good WRs in Ray Ray Joseph, Victor Snow, and Kenny Johnson, can make this offense high powered. Defensively CB Jeremiah Wilson is a stud, and the rest of the defense is full of young talent that can be key contributors to this pitt team next season.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 85 Off: 86 Def: 84
Key Players: CB- Jeremiah Wilson (93 ovr), WR- Ray Ray Joseph (90 ovr), RG- Jalen Slappy (86 ovr), WR- Victor Snow (86 ovr), QB- Eli Holstein (86 ovr)
UCLA: First off hats off to Phil for a great season with Rutgers and finishing with a winning record and improving that team. With that being said, Phil is taking over the Bruins and this should be a nice upgrade for Phil over that Rutgers team. QB Nico Iamaleava leads the team offensively, along with HB Jaivian Thomas and WR Jurrion Dickey, along with a solid O line. Defensively safety duo, Tao Johnson and Ben Berry lead a good defense with DT Keanu Williams and left edge Devin Aupiu. Phil had a great season for taking Rutgers and I expect him to be even better with this huge upgrade of an UCLA team.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 89 Off: 91 Def: 86
Key Players: QB- Nico Iamaleava (94 ovr), SS- Tao Johnson (92 ovr), HB- Jaivian Thomas (88 ovr), FS- Ben Berry (87 ovr), CB-Jamier Johnson (86 ovr)
CONFERENCE CHAMPION PREDICTION: This is probably my hardest pick, but i’m going with K1ng🏆. I think K1ng has talent and team to win this tough conference and make a run in the playoffs.
SEC:
Alabama (4): THE REIGNING, (soon to be) DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED CHAMPION OF THE LEAGUEEEEEEE, AUSTIN, “HERO” PIIIIILLEEEEEEE! Congrats once again to Hero for winning this past seasons championship and with this Crimson Tide team, he’s favored by Bos bets to repeat. After finishing last year 14-2 and reloading in the transfer portal and this freshman class, with talent like WR Ryan Williams, Edge Kendrick Faulk (i had 40 sacks in a season with him in my offline dynasty, no shit.) TE, Isaiah Horton, and the rest of a 99 overall team. Hero is going to be even more difficult to beat this season. I’d list some of the players he has but it’s Bama and i know Hero did a good job recruiting and hitting the portal hard.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 99 Off: 99 Def: 99
Key players: WR- Ryan Williams (99 ovr), LEDGE- Kendrick Faulk (95 ovr), TE Isaiah Horton (93 ovr), C- Parker Brailsford (92 ovr), WR- T. J. Moore (91 ovr)
THE Ohio state (9): Steel comes in at #9 of the AP poll to start the year with the Buckeyes after finishing last season 11-3 before getting bounced unexpectedly in the first round of playoffs. With that being said, Steel is looking to bounce back and make a playoff run with his Julian Sayin led Buckeyes. Along with QB Sayin, Steel also has WR Jeremiah Smith, HB George Pettaway, and WR Quincy Porter. On the defensive side Steel has an all around elite defense at every level featuring Edge rusher- TJ Bush Jr, DT- Eddrick Houston, SAM- Rasheem Biles, CB- Jermaine Matthew’s Jr, and SS- Bray Hubbard. With a defense like this, i expect Steel to make a deep playoff run.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 94 Off: 94 Def: 96
Georgia (14): Lucky and his Georgia DAWGS, are the second 99 overall team and should be primed to not only improve his season record of 9-4 , but to make the playoffs and compete for a title. With a well rounded team feature players like MIKE- CJ Allen, QB- Alonza Barnett III, CB- Daniel Harris, TE- Lawson Luckie, it’ll be hard to stop the dawgs this year even with a stacked SEC.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 99 Off: 99 Def: 99
Key players: MIKE- CJ allen (92 ovr), Earnest Greene III (95 ovr), FS- KJ Bolden (94 ovr), LT- Monroe Freeling (90 ovr), HB- Nate Frazier (90 ovr).
Tennessee (13): Cloud and his Vols come in at #13 after going 9-4 season 1. Cloud will be improved this year with a more well rounded Tennessee team featuring loaded secondary (3 corners above 85 ovr), and an offense loaded with playmakers, at HB (Peyton Lewis), TE (Toby Payne), and WR (Chris Brazzell II, Mike Matthews, and Braylon Staley), it wouldn’t be a surprise if Cloud improves on a 9-4 record.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 91, Off: 91 Def: 91
Key Players: CB- Boo Carter (88 ovr), CB- Rickey Gibson III (89 ovr), LEDGE- Clev Lubin (88 ovr), HB- Duke Watson (89 ovr), RG- Wendell Moe Jr (89 ovr)
Florida (19): Puff and his beloved Gators come in at #19 after an 8-5 season year 2. Thankfully for Puff, Dj Lagway is in the swamp for one more year. Along with Lagway on the offense, Puff will also have HB- Jadan Baugh, and sophomore WRs- Vernell Brown III, and Dallas Wilson. The defense is just as good if not better featuring players: Edge- Kamran James and LJ McCray, DT- Jamari Lyons, CB- Dijon Johnson, as well as other playmakers at each level.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 92 Off: 91 Def: 94
Key Players: QB- DJ Lagway (93 ovr), DT- Jamari Lyons (88 ovr), LEDGE- Kamran James (88 ovr), HB- Jadan Baugh (89 ovr), FS- Amare Ferrell (88 ovr).
Central Michigan: Cam and his Chippewas are continuing the fun run of recruiting and building. CMU has some decent talent for being a 1.5 star program and I love that for Cam and hope he continues grinding the recruiting and gets CMU to the 80s by next year.
Team Rating: Ovr: 72 Off: 71 Def: 74
Key Player: HB- Trey Cornist (82 ovr), WILL- Mac Uihlein (82 ovr), TE- Jacob Kaminski (81 ovr), MIKE- Maverick Baranowski (81 ovr), WR- Tar’varish Dawson (79 ovr)
Virginia Tech: Little Alex and his Hokies are looking for an improvement after a 4-8 season year 1, and continue to build VT to a championship contender. He’s got talent on the offense side of the ball with weapons, WR- Antonio Williams and Cayden Lee, TE- Jelani Thurman, and a dual threat QB in Ajank Sheppard. Along with the offense the defense has some studs in: WILL- Caleb Woodson and DTs- CJ Mims and Elhadj Fall. Regardless of the team, i expect Little Alex to be a tough opponent for anyone.
Team Ratings: Ovr: 83 Off: 81 Def: 86
Key players: WR- Antonio Williams (92 ovr), WR- Cayden Lee (89 ovr), TE- Jelani Thurman (88 ovr), WILL- Caleb Woodson (83 ovr), DT- Cj Mims (83 ovr)
CONFERENCE CHAMPION PREDICTION:
