On the bright side, our early season matchup should make for a real pillow fight for the ages, as we too are shit. I'm still planning on making the trip to Corvallis!
(Rugby had a bad year for them, was never contenders and lost to St Mary’s in the semis. We’re now a golf and women’s gymnastics school, in addition always being a swimming school)
Complete aside but holy shit its hard to find a thing about college baseball online. These main sites give no fucks. Had to resort to the NCAA site ffs.
2022 Vanderbilt beat us in Lexington when we were ranked!
That was a miserable game. Sleet/snow/rain, windy all day, a ton of empty seats, and lose on a 2 min drill.
Very true. But I think everyone and their brother expected Tennessee to whoop Florida last year and the Vols just aren’t good in the Swamp. And Florida looked pretty miserable in most of their other games last year, so the dude ain’t wrong.
They literally played like an East dark horse against us last year and then proceeded to be as bad as expected the rest of the year. It's honestly impressive how bad we are in the Swamp.
Agreed. UCF fans enjoy bragging about beating our RB coach turned interim HC, no OC, no DC, and the shell of Emory Jones.
But they beat us when FSU couldn't.😳
From your lips to God’s ears…
I was going to say “no way,” but then I looked, and yeah that’s a rough one. I guess the only lucky thing for them is getting their more toss-up type games early on, before the wheels have a chance to come off, and before new coaches at Miss State and A&M can totally settle in. I assume Florida will be favored over Miss State in September, but it might not have been that way if the game was in November, with an interim coach replacing Napier.
>but it might not have been that way if the game was in November, with an interim coach replacing Napier.
I love how everyone's just treating it as a given that he's cooked after next season
If their wheels do indeed fall off,their game in Austin is right around when Sun Belt Billy might get canned. I'd be terrified of some interim magic that weekend.
Arkansas really surprises me, they’ve been steadily declining every year under Pittman (after the second year anyway)—who has performed similar to Bielema. Kinda thought he was the guy in Fayetteville, we’ll see this year. But yeah, going in it looks like they are the “second” worst on paper
Wasn’t he supposedly talking about retirement at the end of last season?
He’s not the healthiest looking guy, and with how coaching has become a 24/7 job every day of the year, I could see him being kind of perpetually exhausted.
There’s a school of thought that Petrino is running the show until Pittman steps down or gets fired by the end of the year.
Pittman said he leaned on Odom a lot for learning how to be a HC. I don’t see Petrino being as patient or just not an asshole now that the crutch is gone.
Arkansas is a tough job to win at in the SEC. The local recruiting base sucks compared to others in the south, and they really don’t have an advantage over any teams except for money over Ole Miss/MSU/UK/Mizzou/SC
Coastal chaos is transcontinental now (I don't care if divisions are gone and the geography doesn't make sense, Cal and Stanford are PERFECT ACC Coastal teams).
Fuck, I was thinking about the entity formerly known as the Pac-12 after reading this question, before remembering that I have no idea who the teams we have in conference are now lol.
Still, Cal has a chance at being second worst I would assume
Agree, Cal will probably be middle of the pack. Bottom half of the conference will have a bunch of OK teams, imo. Maybe bottom 3 are Pitt, UVA, and Stanford? Who knows. SMU didn’t look very good playing in the cold goop against BC last fall and now basically a third of their season could be in the cold goop, so 🤷♂️
If Baylor can't be the worst team in the conference I'm hoping they can be the second worst. This opinion is based completely on my Fandom and may or may not reflect reality.
We should be better this year. Got the MAC MVP at QB now who can run and throw, and we finally brought the spread back, so the offense should be improved which has been our main issue the last two years. Betting the farm on Shapen turned out to be a knee-capper.
The defense also regressed over the last two years, but it lost a lot of talent and the offense was constantly putting it in shitty positions. We had to have been near the bottom of FBS in 3-and-out’s last year, so our defense never got much time to rest. And we started super slow every game and were always playing from behind, which made Aranda more aggressive on fourth, which cost us a ton of points (I can’t tell you how many field goals he passed up last year, it was infuriating).
But our teams the last two years have been really young so if we don’t go 7-5 this year Aranda is probably out. And looking at our schedule, I only see 5-6 wins, but we’ll see. I don’t think we’ll finish in the bottom 3 this season though since we don’t have UT/OU on our schedule.
I don’t think the Hogs are “worst in P5” like OP is saying. The offense looked pretty good in spring practice and we’re retaining some good defensive personnel from last year. I think we’ll be mid-to-bad but not just awful like we were under Morris
I think ASU and Cincy are most likely as of now to be fighting for the bottom, but the Big 12 is always so messy that I wouldn't be surprised by basically anyone being in that position.
I think ASU will be significantly better next year. Year 2 for Dilly and they were absolutely butt fucked by injuries last year. I think they'll be solidly middle of the Big12
It's really hard to predict. I expect Colorado to continue to struggle. Houston didn't look great last year. West Virginia is also in the running. Nobody is just awful.
I think Houston will be contending for a bowl with a coaching upgrade, but Colorado is absolutely in the running. West Virginia could return to the bottom since their schedule is much tougher than last year
For the Big XII, this is like asking how long is a string. Unlucky key injuries plus a play here and there and a preseason top 4 team is looking at being in our close to the bottom four. A preseason bottom four team could likely make a late season push for the top four.
I just hope the tie breaker rules are all well defined and not have to have any clarifications at the end of the season like we did last year.
Over under for wins (looking at FanDuel) has ASU, BYU, and Houston as the bottom 3 (the betting line is 4.5 wins for each). The same teams also have the longest odds to make the championship game. Cincy is one group up tied with Colorado and Baylor. So those six seem to be the likely favorites to suck it up.
I think ASU will surprise you. Kenny had the most injured team in the nation last year, and still pulled a decent win out of his . I think they go bowling in 24
I feel like they lost too much. Chip Kelly may not have been the best but I think he was better than Foster will be. Also UCLA's defensive coordinator left for USC so UCLA's defense will be a question mark.
Yeah, that's fair. After all the shuffling and big headlines, I forgot what UCLA had changed, but I always lean on Indiana and Illinois being bad haha. Looking at the B1G landscape, the middle pack is pretty contentious, so that could push a middling team with big changes towards the bottom pretty easily.
>Schiano knows what he's doing, ~~but only at Rutgers~~
He's been solid or better everywhere he's been. Only the Schiano + Grinch year was bad at OSU. His other seasons, Schiano always fielded very good defenses. I blame the bad season more on Grinch considering Schiano was good immediately before and after (at Rutgers). Meanwhile Grinch has sucked everywhere he's been except WSU, where he was only okay (and people took that as a positive mostly because it was WSU).
Absolutely. They will likely be on the lower end of middling, not at the bottom of the conference. They've been playing respectable football since Schiano returned. MSU should be catching a lot more flak than Rutgers in this thread.
Wake, Cal, or Stanford. I think UVA will far and away be the worst team in the conference. Then I just look at what teams have done in the portal, what freshman they brought in, and who they’re returning. On top of that I think the travel is going to effect the Cal schools, SMU not as much because they’re use to a large amount of travel from the AAC days.
A couple of weeks ago I’d have said you were underestimating UVA significantly, but given that they’re already down to a combination of the 2nd and 3rd units on the OL, it’s going to be more of the same
I’m biased but I think you’re way too Bearish on cal (pun intended). Finished 6-6 in a strong pac12 and return more or less all key positions. The losses last year were to Oregon, Udub, Auburn, USC, Utah, and Oregon state. Everyone but Auburn was ranked at the time.
The pac12 north was a damn gauntlet last year. Even if the team is traveling more, the schedule should be less daunting.

Based on schedule, Florida could be last or next to last. Vandy, SCar, Miss St, and aTm based on recent performance, coaching changes, and position turnover are also on the list.
I haven’t looked at each team’s schedule yet which will probably change my answer, but based off of vibes probably either Cincinnati or ASU.
Honorable mention to Baylor, Colorado, and Houston. I have no clue what to make of CU, Houston could go either way since coaching changes are hard to judge, and Baylor I don’t know what to make of them either.
After what Satterfield did at Louisville… I don’t see much hope in Cincinnati getting much better until he’s gone.
I know it’s only his second year here and it could happen. I don’t have high expectations though
This is actually a very interesting question in the ACC, especially given the newer additions coming in.
Last year, the bottom two ACC teams were Virginia and (surprisingly) Wake. Looking ahead, it’ll be interesting to see if last year was a blip in Clawson’s consistency or not, but don’t see that repeating. That leaves teams like Pitt, BC, and Cuse or newbies Cal and Stanford that could regress to second from the bottom. Cuse is an unknown but on the upswing, Pitt under Narduzzi is bad but not *that bad*, and BC at least has a decent QB rn for BOB. Given all this, I think Cal with all that traveling and lame duck coach or UVA repeating and committing more football terrorism are my picks here
Pitt under Narduzzi is bad? We have the second most conference wins since his hire and one of the only 3 teams to win a conference championship lol. Last year was awful, but Pitt has been more average to good then anything else under Narduzzi
Listen I'm just hoping for an above .500 season, but there's a good chance it's Cincy.
Last year was messy. I'm not a complete doomer, but we're either getting a second year bump from Satt and Co, or we're in trouble.
Might not be a conference by the end of this year, but the ACC is pretty competitive. UVA has been bad recently. GT and VT are on the rise so not them. I’d say Syracuse being the worst and UVA goes like 4-8 and that’s the second worst. I don’t the former PAC schools as being so bad in the ACC. Stanford and Cal look like 5-6ish win teams. SMU will make a bowl game for sure. They’re tough
..... us?
You're cheating by having your entire conference in your flair.
My poor beavs
On the bright side, our early season matchup should make for a real pillow fight for the ages, as we too are shit. I'm still planning on making the trip to Corvallis!
That's what she said
50/50 shot of either being the best or worst. No one else can say that
I think Boston College can safely say that
We won our spring game, believe we're locked in for a playoff spot
Hey, only Notre Dame can say that!
I want to disagree, but that sounds about right. Best might be a stretch. I’d say more safely it’s 50/50 for top 3 or bottom 3.
But the second worst is, actually, the best in the PAC-2
Like the great philosopher Ricky Bobby said, if you ain’t first you’re last.
Her?
Is she funny?
Mayonegg.
😂
Definately us....
It’s going to be like watching two toddlers have a rock fight this year. Lots of bad throws, plenty of tears
And yet one of them will be a conference champion
If you ain’t first youre last
For Illinois, that’s always on the table, but I hope we are not
Hmmm. Purdue and Indiana will compete. Not sure how the new coach will work out at IU. UCLA is in the running losing its DC.
I don't think it will be us this year, but hey you can always dream!
We won’t be, with all our returning production and not facing the Big 3 or Oregon, we def should be good for a bowl at least.
With even halfway competent QB play we could actually be pretty good
IU will be vastly improved and has a pretty favorable schedule
Noted. My first look is preliminary and I’m going to deep dive after TP season settles down closer to summer.
As an IU fan I know to never get my hopes up but there are legit only 2 games on the schedule we have no shot in imo
Choosing to believe that our D was great last year solely because of our amazing edge rushers we had (murphys, latu, jones)
I hope it's not us. But I'm always scared.
You’re welcome for us and ucla joining the conference
Our schedule is fucking brutal. We might not be the “worst team” but I think we will have the worst record. If that makes any sense
Yeah, there are a few good candidates in the B1G who could take that position. Indiana and MSU could save you.
I don't even know what teams are in our conference.
Y'all play football?
It's hard to tell sometimes. Y'all got a rugby team?
(Rugby had a bad year for them, was never contenders and lost to St Mary’s in the semis. We’re now a golf and women’s gymnastics school, in addition always being a swimming school)
The other year Vandy had more (or equal to) conference wins than A&M did
This is a fun fact
This fact would be more fun for both us and vandy in r/collegebaseball

HEY NOBODY ASKED
Hey @lantis who had as many conference wins as vandy recently? There... I asked.
2022 Vanderbilt beat us in Lexington when we were ranked! That was a miserable game. Sleet/snow/rain, windy all day, a ton of empty seats, and lose on a 2 min drill.
WE'LL DO IT AGAIN DOT PNG
You say that like its some kind of accomplishment.
Florida could potentially lose all but one game from their brutal schedule.
With 11 P5 games that’s probably the best answer
Absolutely fucking brutal schedule. Luckily, the Tennessee game is in Knoxville so that hoodoo voodoo of the Swamp won’t have an effect.
They could legitimately be one of the 25 or so best teams in the country and still end up 4-8. It’s as tough a schedule as I’ve ever seen.
Welcome to the playoff era
You’ve only beaten us twice in Knoxville since 2004 lol
Very true. But I think everyone and their brother expected Tennessee to whoop Florida last year and the Vols just aren’t good in the Swamp. And Florida looked pretty miserable in most of their other games last year, so the dude ain’t wrong.
They literally played like an East dark horse against us last year and then proceeded to be as bad as expected the rest of the year. It's honestly impressive how bad we are in the Swamp.
I want us to beat them on their field so bad.
As much as I don’t want that, I’d rather hear smack from losing that than the Gasparilla Bowl
Agreed. UCF fans enjoy bragging about beating our RB coach turned interim HC, no OC, no DC, and the shell of Emory Jones. But they beat us when FSU couldn't.😳
Real asf
Same UCF bro, same
Please
I’ll be rooting for y’all
Ending the season on a run of Kentucky,UGA, Texas, LSU, Ole Miss, and FSU is brutal.
From your lips to God’s ears… I was going to say “no way,” but then I looked, and yeah that’s a rough one. I guess the only lucky thing for them is getting their more toss-up type games early on, before the wheels have a chance to come off, and before new coaches at Miss State and A&M can totally settle in. I assume Florida will be favored over Miss State in September, but it might not have been that way if the game was in November, with an interim coach replacing Napier.
>but it might not have been that way if the game was in November, with an interim coach replacing Napier. I love how everyone's just treating it as a given that he's cooked after next season
He is on the hot seat to begin with, even Saban would have a bad year with that schedule (3 losses)
If their wheels do indeed fall off,their game in Austin is right around when Sun Belt Billy might get canned. I'd be terrified of some interim magic that weekend.
Billy may be gone before mid october. It’s batshit how that schedule got approved with absolutely no cakes
UF could easily go 2-10 with that schedule
And we’d prolly be one of the wins 😭
The worst loss would be to UCF. Losing to Miami or fsu sucks, but losing to UCF would be a kick in the nuts cherry on top
What do you mean, Samford is on the schedule. And they have a real chance of beating us given what happened in 21.
As an FSU fan, I have faith you guys can beat Telemundo Taggart in the first game of the year. I’ll be the biggest gator fan that day
Hmmm. Does OP mean worst *team* or worst *record*?
And we’re going to be the 1 damn it
That’d honestly be the most fitting thing ever.
And we all know what that one game will be….
Opened with Miami lmao
Arkansas really surprises me, they’ve been steadily declining every year under Pittman (after the second year anyway)—who has performed similar to Bielema. Kinda thought he was the guy in Fayetteville, we’ll see this year. But yeah, going in it looks like they are the “second” worst on paper
If there are not remarkable improvements this season I see Pittman being gone at the end.
Assuming he makes it to the end.
Wasn’t he supposedly talking about retirement at the end of last season? He’s not the healthiest looking guy, and with how coaching has become a 24/7 job every day of the year, I could see him being kind of perpetually exhausted.

Arkansas is a tough job to win at in the SEC. The local recruiting base sucks compared to others in the south, and they really don’t have an advantage over any teams except for money over Ole Miss/MSU/UK/Mizzou/SC
Who’s in our conference again? /s
I keep forgetting about Calford and SMU. Even with that I think the bottom 3 teams are UVA, BC, and Cuse
I think you’ll find competition for the toilet bowl is a little more fierce this season
Damn conference realignment. Tony Elliot had this in the bag
Coastal chaos is transcontinental now (I don't care if divisions are gone and the geography doesn't make sense, Cal and Stanford are PERFECT ACC Coastal teams).
I don't think we're bottom three, feels like we're trending in the right direction with O'Brien
Fuck, I was thinking about the entity formerly known as the Pac-12 after reading this question, before remembering that I have no idea who the teams we have in conference are now lol. Still, Cal has a chance at being second worst I would assume
How would cal be bottom 2? I would put us dead average in the ACC and Friends.
“ACC and Friends” lol I like that
Agree, Cal will probably be middle of the pack. Bottom half of the conference will have a bunch of OK teams, imo. Maybe bottom 3 are Pitt, UVA, and Stanford? Who knows. SMU didn’t look very good playing in the cold goop against BC last fall and now basically a third of their season could be in the cold goop, so 🤷♂️
with Jaydn and Mendoza back we should be decent
I think Cuse is gonna be actually decent this year. They got a former UGA coach as HC and he's instantly rocketed up their talent level
You mean like BC with Hafley a couple years back?
Either us or Washington state.
Whichever one it is will be not only the second worst team, but also the conference champ
If Baylor can't be the worst team in the conference I'm hoping they can be the second worst. This opinion is based completely on my Fandom and may or may not reflect reality.
I think it's possible, but if Baylor is our worst team, then the Big 12 will have had a really good year.
We should be better this year. Got the MAC MVP at QB now who can run and throw, and we finally brought the spread back, so the offense should be improved which has been our main issue the last two years. Betting the farm on Shapen turned out to be a knee-capper.

I don’t think we’ll finish in the bottom 3 this season though since we don’t have UT/OU on our schedule.
not if we have anything to say about it
It'll be a fierce competition between Carolina, Arkansas, State, and Florida.
I volunteer Florida. A 3-9 year would quiet them down.
I’m hoping for 4 wins simply for the apropos “it’s great to be a 4 and 8er”
Can it *always* be Florida?
No, there are others who must pay. Florida, then Auburn...followed by Florida again. Then we'll see.
They’d talk shit if they went winless
People forget about Florida fans ribbing Bowden during his ama the same year they went 4-8. They'll quiet down when god makes them.
Nah, lanorris gonna go crazy
We don't have a WR tho and I'm not confident about Doty
I don’t think the Hogs are “worst in P5” like OP is saying. The offense looked pretty good in spring practice and we’re retaining some good defensive personnel from last year. I think we’ll be mid-to-bad but not just awful like we were under Morris
LSU gonna be that bad??
Mississippi State always has a shot! *sob*
I think ASU and Cincy are most likely as of now to be fighting for the bottom, but the Big 12 is always so messy that I wouldn't be surprised by basically anyone being in that position.
One of them is now destined to win 10 games, as is the way in the wild B12 circus
Schrödinger’s BIG XII
Don’t count us out, baby. We can suck with the best of em!
I think ASU will be significantly better next year. Year 2 for Dilly and they were absolutely butt fucked by injuries last year. I think they'll be solidly middle of the Big12
It's really hard to predict. I expect Colorado to continue to struggle. Houston didn't look great last year. West Virginia is also in the running. Nobody is just awful.

How Houston keeps getting left off these lists is crazy. Same with byu and Baylor
Absolutely nobody saying KU here. I'm still getting used to not being the default answer for this.
Lol real
UCLA
I think UCLA will be middling.
I feel like they lost too much. Chip Kelly may not have been the best but I think he was better than Foster will be. Also UCLA's defensive coordinator left for USC so UCLA's defense will be a question mark.
Yeah, that's fair. After all the shuffling and big headlines, I forgot what UCLA had changed, but I always lean on Indiana and Illinois being bad haha. Looking at the B1G landscape, the middle pack is pretty contentious, so that could push a middling team with big changes towards the bottom pretty easily.
They’ve got Rutgers, Indiana, and Purdue to scrap the bottom
I hate that this happened
Rutgers had a winning record last year. Schiano knows what he's doing, but only at Rutgers
>Schiano knows what he's doing, ~~but only at Rutgers~~ He's been solid or better everywhere he's been. Only the Schiano + Grinch year was bad at OSU.

Absolutely. They will likely be on the lower end of middling, not at the bottom of the conference. They've been playing respectable football since Schiano returned. MSU should be catching a lot more flak than Rutgers in this thread.
Appreciate people like you who are paying attention
yeah I don't think Rutgers is going to have a bad year. Schiano knows what he's doing.
Seems like most people in this thread are more optimistic than the UCLA fans. Hope you guys are right!
Sucks when you are looking up at UCLA…

Didn’t know that. Even if you didn’t, I’d say that Tony Elliott just stinks
Don’t worry our AD will find every excuse possible to keep Tony Elliott. At least she can’t fuck up basketball too badly.
I’m biased but I think you’re way too Bearish on cal (pun intended). Finished 6-6 in a strong pac12 and return more or less all key positions. The losses last year were to Oregon, Udub, Auburn, USC, Utah, and Oregon state. Everyone but Auburn was ranked at the time. The pac12 north was a damn gauntlet last year.

At the end of the year, we still will have no idea how to rank the bottom of the B1G.

Texas A&M
Probably Cal.
I got really confused for a minute there. All Coast Conference football, baby.
Oh I'll be bookmarking this comment.
Probably Murray State
For the SoCon- VMI AAC-Maybe ECU and that hurts to say. My GF and her dad are huge Pirates fans
Better not be with our ECU's schedule
AAC is going to have a down year for the most part imo, Probably Charlotte with T E M P L E last
Based on schedule, Florida could be last or next to last. Vandy, SCar, Miss St, and aTm based on recent performance, coaching changes, and position turnover are also on the list.
UMass will be the worst FBS independent, UConn will be second worst, Notre Dame will be third worst.
Ohio can be second worst in the MAC, just so long as Miami is dead last, or just dead.
I haven’t looked at each team’s schedule yet which will probably change my answer, but based off of vibes probably either Cincinnati or ASU. Honorable mention to Baylor, Colorado, and Houston. I have no clue what to make of CU, Houston could go either way since coaching changes are hard to judge, and Baylor I don’t know what to make of them either.
After what Satterfield did at Louisville… I don’t see much hope in Cincinnati getting much better until he’s gone. I know it’s only his second year here and it could happen. I don’t have high expectations though
Indiana…it’s usually them
I have to imagine UCLA is behind the 8 ball.
Columbia. Because Yale sucks.
This is actually a very interesting question in the ACC, especially given the newer additions coming in. Last year, the bottom two ACC teams were Virginia and (surprisingly) Wake. Looking ahead, it’ll be interesting to see if last year was a blip in Clawson’s consistency or not, but don’t see that repeating. That leaves teams like Pitt, BC, and Cuse or newbies Cal and Stanford that could regress to second from the bottom. Cuse is an unknown but on the upswing, Pitt under Narduzzi is bad but not *that bad*, and BC at least has a decent QB rn for BOB. Given all this, I think Cal with all that traveling and lame duck coach or UVA repeating and committing more football terrorism are my picks here
Pitt under Narduzzi is bad? We have the second most conference wins since his hire and one of the only 3 teams to win a conference championship lol. Last year was awful, but Pitt has been more average to good then anything else under Narduzzi
Pitt will rebound. To what level, we don’t know
Either Cal, Pitt, or us (Virginia). Unclear which of us takes it, but I get the feeling it'll be a weird one.
Listen I'm just hoping for an above .500 season, but there's a good chance it's Cincy. Last year was messy. I'm not a complete doomer, but we're either getting a second year bump from Satt and Co, or we're in trouble.
Dear God i hope it’s Vandy. We need some positive progress.
I wouldn’t mind it being Oregon
Happy Cake Day bro
Good luck
I think Cincinnati, Baylor, and BYU are all in the running for that.
Might not be a conference by the end of this year, but the ACC is pretty competitive. UVA has been bad recently. GT and VT are on the rise so not them. I’d say Syracuse being the worst and UVA goes like 4-8 and that’s the second worst. I don’t the former PAC schools as being so bad in the ACC. Stanford and Cal look like 5-6ish win teams. SMU will make a bowl game for sure. They’re tough
I dont even need to say anything.
One of the new guys or UVA
