00:00 Thanks for making the Locked On Ole Miss Podcast your first.
00:02 Listen every day. We're free and, in fact,
00:04 available wherever you get your podcast, including YouTube.
00:07 We're part of the Locked On Podcast Network,
00:09 your team, every single day.
00:12 Hey, we live in a world right now where everybody has polls.
00:15 Everybody is doing polls, and Locked On is no different.
00:19 We have our inaugural preseason top 25 poll
00:24 in which the Rebels come in ranked number 21.
00:27 Georgia is the leader in the clubhouse at number one.
00:30 I mean, there's no surprise there.
00:33 I think everybody's thinking Georgia and Michigan,
00:35 it looks like.
00:36 I mean, every poll that I see is Georgia and Michigan
00:38 for whatever reason.
00:39 Ohio State, I don't know if they need to be that high, honestly.
00:44 I like kind of where Alabama is.
00:46 I think SC is a little bit overrated.
00:49 LSU, I can't determine if LSU is about right or overrated.
00:54 I like LSU. They have talent.
00:55 They had a nice three-game stretch against Ole Miss
00:58 and Alabama right there at the end of the season
01:01 where they just kind of looked like a machine.
01:04 But is that the real team,
01:06 or is that the team we saw in the early part of the season?
01:10 That's just something that's bothering me.
01:11 Penn State, people seem to like Penn State a lot right now.
01:15 Clemson, you got Kay Klubnik,
01:18 and I think Clemson is surviving a reputation
01:23 at this point a little bit
01:25 because after last season, they don't deserve to be here,
01:27 although they did win the SEC and got vote-raised by Tennessee.
01:31 But they shouldn't have been ahead of Florida State,
01:34 who's nine.
01:35 Florida State, for the first time,
01:36 should be the favorite to win the SEC in a while.
01:40 Washington, decent.
01:41 Texas, believe it or not, Texas might be underrated.
01:46 Utah, Cam Rising is injured right now,
01:49 and he might be back for Florida.
01:51 He might not.
01:52 Now, that said, I don't think they're going
01:54 to lose to Florida,
01:56 but that's something to keep an eye on.
01:58 Tennessee, I think, is overrated.
02:00 Everybody talks about Joe Milton.
02:02 This is a quarterback that has lost the job,
02:04 the starting job that he has won in camp
02:06 twice in his college career.
02:09 So he's almost kind of in show-me mode.
02:12 North Carolina, Notre Dame,
02:15 they're pretty close to where they need to be.
02:17 Normally, we get used to seeing Notre Dame
02:18 in the top ten this early in the season.
02:21 They're kind of dropped down.
02:22 Oregon, kind of where they need to be.
02:26 Kansas State, yes, I like that.
02:27 I don't like North Carolina.
02:29 I think Drake May is going to take a step back
02:32 because of the absence of Phil Longo,
02:34 and it would be a different style offense.
02:36 I think TCU is going to take a step back.
02:38 I think that's overrated as well.
02:40 Oregon State, like Oregon State.
02:42 I think they have a chance to be pretty good.
02:45 Wisconsin, you heard me mention Phil Longo earlier.
02:48 They're in a situation going from what they were doing,
02:54 the Paul Cris stuff, to the Phil Longo air raid.
02:57 I'm kind of curious about that.
02:59 Ole Miss, like I said, anytime Ole Miss
03:01 is in a preseason poll between 15 and 25,
03:04 that's kind of the Goldilocks zone.
03:07 Oklahoma might be underrated.
03:08 Texas Tech might be underrated.
03:11 Iowa, that defense better be dynamic
03:14 if they're going to be at 24.
03:16 A&M, honestly about right.
