- Ranking the New Expanded SEC - College Football Tier List
It might not be happening next year - but conference expansion is on the horizon - and the SEC plans to add two new teams into the fold from the Big 12 - Oklahoma and Texas. But how will this shake up the conference? In this video I break down the SEC into tiers, predicting how teams will stack up over the next few seasons.
How do you think the new SEC will stack up? Let me know in the comments.

Well done and objective.
Thanks Rick!
As a Longhorn fan, I'm very surprised to see that Texas managed to get ranked as B, from a Sooner fan nonetheless. Personally, I think Texas is a C-tier program atm. The entire program has needed a complete change since Mack Brown left. Nothing seems to go right and they have head-scratching losses every year. With the talent they have, that shouldn't be happening. It's shown 0 signs of improvement, and firing Tom Herman has appeared to be a mistake so far. The only positive thing is that the annoying Longhorn fans have seemed to have vanished, which is nice. I think next year is the year that will show if there is any improvement whatsoever. I'm hoping they are at least competitive in all of their games. The team just looked dead last year.
As for Oklahoma, I'm not exactly sure why a large amount of SEC fans think they are a pushover. They've accomplished more then the majority of the SEC teams have in the last few years. Yes, the Big 12 is not as good as the SEC, but Oklahoma has had a complete stranglehold on it for the last 12 years or so. Yes, they've been blown out in the playoffs repeatedly, but so have a bunch of other teams. The Big 12 has had some pretty good teams throughout the last few years, and OU has had no issue crushing them. Sadly, I think Brent Venables is gonna turn them into a machine and, unlike Texas, I believe they'll be ready to go in the SEC. Being in the SEC is gonna boost recruiting as well. I think they will do just fine. It's Texas I'm concerned about.
Great Video! You've earned urself a sub.
I'm curious to see how OU will be in the SEC, will they keep their identity and force defenses to use leaner, faster players to keep up with their style of offense, making them look like Big 12 defenses, because imo I think that's what's really helped them beat SEC teams in the past, their quick tempo balanced attack. Downside is their linemen on both sides of the ball are a lot smaller than their opponents. With Texas and Mike Leach in the league, I wonder if they'll start turning other teams into another Big 12 hybrid defense to counter OU's style of play? Or will OU just get bigger players and compete like the rest of the SEC defenses? Basically are they gonna keep the same style of play and bring it into the league or are they going morph into an SEC style team and if they keep their current level of play, will they force other teams to adjust to them?
I would see it as Oklahoma being a top B and Texas being a bottom B tier team y’all haven’t sucked as bad as the C teams have but definitely aren’t meeting expectations while also not facing SEC competition
Oklahoma is gonna get a mud hole stomped in them week in and week out for at least a few years. If they don’t get right they may quit the league
Texas will be fighting the bottom teams in the SEC
You can’t win consistently with Kansas tier Oline and Dline depth issues. Also on Texas’ classes being ranked. You can sign 20 4 star linebackers and be high ranked but you’re won’t be good. The lines of scrimmage mean everything. IYKYK and Texas hasn’t had enough depth at those positions. Everyone knows if you don’t develop those positions you’re crap. Also the higher prospects haven’t worked out or been developed. We all know there’s a lot of high star guys that don’t work out or get developed. It’s really not that hard to see but a lot of people including this video doesn’t say this bc he’s average at best. If anyone can’t see why these classes are better then the others then you don’t really know football like you think. Yeah can’t wait for the rude awakening everyone else in for
Excellent analysis, thanks.
Much appreciated!
You got me with the thumbnail
I found your list to be fair and balanced. Objectivity is difficult due to the nature of confirmation and implicit bias.
Georgia is definitely S tier ..
I have them under solely because I don't think you can put anyone in the same tier as Bama currently. Maybe an A+ tier for Georgia
Because they had 1 good season? Nah man
UGA hadn't done shit for over 40 years until they finally got lucky last year. Plus they also play in the weak ass SEC East.
@@theblackdog2399 bama loses one player with that weak ass jump shooting team and misses a bunch of shots. Y’all are the gayest fans on the planet
@@theblackdog2399 who pissed in your cheerios. Nothing lucky about it.
Nice video you are super underrated you got great vids
Much appreciated!
Seems like a pretty fair and respectable tier list.
But I only have a vague perspective on the conference as a whole.
Appreciate it Guts
The Dores will have a lot of homecoming games ahead of them for decades to come
Great list with the exception of Texas. Averaging 7 wins per season over the last 10 years in the big12 doesnt belong anywhere near middle of the pack in the SEC
Texas was definitely a forecast pick for the future. If they stay where they are at I would drop them for sure
Texas will be fine they will be middle of pack.
@@MrJara1018 Texas is like the Dallas Cowboys. Win or lose, still America's team?
@@LimitlessSports by that logic georgia looks like a future S tier
The sec is NOT "full of elite teams". I'll give you your S tier in ALABAMA, A tier in Georgia, Oklahoma, Louisiana. This narrative is hilarious seeing as how Georgia just became relevant again after 41 years, Texas AM doing nothing with a top 5 recruiting class, and who ever else is claimed to be "elite". The SEC is top heavy and is very comparable to the big 12 with outliers in Alabama and the recent surge in Georgia.
Time to revisit this list...
Spot on
Appreciate it Logan 👍
@@LimitlessSports damn I forgot I watched this already
Then went to comment... 😆
I love the presentation and thoroughness. The tone and tenor are perfect and it's overall a very tight segment. You have a new subscriber.
That said, are you nuts?
Maybe I missed it in the description of each tier, been UGA has been in contention (in the SECCG or NC) every year but Smart's first...and maybe/maybe not '20. That makes them a "Perennial Contender" right?
Side Note: I give A+M zero credit for their Oil Company Generated Recruiting Subsidies. It's not an accurate reflection of recruiting ability or else A+M would have been doing it all along.
Keep the content coming!
Haha appreciate it! As much as I agree Georgia is definitely a perennial contender I just couldn’t put them in the same tier as Bama considering how dominant Bama has been over the past decade. Regarding A&M - they’ve put together top 10 classes since 2019, at this point to me it’s just a matter of putting it together on the field. 8 wins won’t cut it 😅
It's hard to put Florida in the same group with Georgia. UGA has won 4 of last 5 and 7 of last 11 against those gators.
@@ericjackson4519 If I moved Georgia up a tier we could have that same conversation about them and Bama though to be fair. Georgia has definitely been the more dominant team in the East than Florida as of late.
@@LimitlessSports you are correct in that Alabama has been UGA like UGA has beaten Florida, but most of UGA's games against Alabama have been close.
@@ericjackson4519 True - plus who knows if Saban retired in the next few years everything gets shaken up
As an big time Sooner fan and I'm from southern Oklahoma I'm sure glad to be in the sec....
It’s gonna take year or too to adjust. I know y’all will have players (Texas will absolutely falter here and I’m serious, they don’t have the prestige to the players who are graduating now. The west isn’t a easy gauntlet, especially when they make your East game vs Georgia on the road
Great vid!!! Intelligent, concise, Boomer Sooner!!! You got my sub!!!!
Appreciate it!
As a alabama fan I am grateful for this video
I have no issues here aside from Texas. One question, is Vanderbilt going to be the new Kansas for UTerus ? Texass should be in Missouri tier
I think (unfortunately as you can tell by my other videos) Texas is going to start building themselves back up sooner rather than later. The question is will it happen before or after the move to the SEC
@@LimitlessSports If the fan base puts their money toward NIL's then I also see them climbing. But $50 K per year will not cut it. Sounds good at this initial stage but way to low to compete with the SEC wallets. Need to make it $250K per lineman to even be in the running.
Horns down baby let’s go
@@kingsgambit7734 I think you're old enough to know Texas will open the check books with no problems.
@@nickaguirre8804 Agree completely. My statement was in regard to OU getting left behind not the Longhorns. Just can't see enough money in Oklahoma to truly compete in NIL era with the bases from Texas, Georgia and Florida. I can actually see Bama dropping down as well but maybe as long as Saban as there maybe some top recruits will play there for less money?
You were spot on except I think A&M belongs with the B’s. At least for now. I’m a die hard LSU fan. I think the boys from Baton Rouge are going to be playing in the SEC championship this year. If not this year then certainly next year. Their entire starting defensive line are going to be 1st round draft picks. Maybe 1 2nd rounder. It depends on how good of a year Ali Gaye has. He could be a 1st or 2nd rounder. The other 3 I guarantee they are all going in the first round. I believe that WR Kayshoun Boutte will be the first WR off the board next year too. He is that good. LSU just got another 5 star WR commit yesterday. A kid named Samson from Baton Rouge. And we have Will Campbell a true freshman who will be the starting left tackle. Kid is a beast. A 5 star and the #4 tackle prospect in the country. QB Myles Brennan was spectacular the last time he played. He played 3 games in 2020 before he was hurt and had over 1100 yards passing and 11 td passes. In 3 games!! He will go pro next year then Garrett Nussmyer is up. He could start this year and would if Brenan was t there. Brennan has waited patiently. He got hurt before the season last year and was out for the season. He is ready to rock now. Our starting running back is back after missing last year because of grades. He has star potential. LSU always has good-great Linebackers. And we ALWAYS have top flight blue chip defensive backs. Yea Eli Ricks defected to Alabama so fuck him. We don’t need him. They don’t call LSU Defensive Back University for nothing.
No love for Jayden Daniels? If he can progress instead of regress this year I think we end up seeing potentially him and Brennan share snaps early in the year - unless the starter has already been announced
No no love for Daniel’s for one reason. He couldn’t make it at Arizona State In the PAC 12 how is he going to make it in the SEC West. I think Daniels should have transferred to Wisconsin. They need a decent QB badly because Graham Mertz sucks.
I just subbed as 1K
Much appreciated 🙏
This is the first take towards the Gamecocks that didn't feel just biased and I can get behind what was said. I hope Beamer can do something but we'll have to wait and see
KY is gonna have to be bumped up after another ten win season (hopefully) three outta the last five 10 win seasons I believe speaks for itself.
I agree, I think then and Tennessee should be flipped right now but they are definitely close
If Kentucky puts together another 10 win year absolutely. They were already right on the edge for me as is
@@jaredstivers Tennessee has won the last 8 of 10 years against Kentucky. 17 of the last 20. Including last years "Top 10 team." I believe you're reaching a bit if you're trying to swap them. Especially if you're comparing Programs alone.
UK is ranked too low. Another 10 win season this year will prove that.
TN head to head doesn’t matter. What matters is total wins and UK finishing above them the past 5 years.
BUT STOOPS HAD ONLY 2 10 GAME WIN SEASONS OUT OF 4...SCHEESH
I'm kinda nervous for OU there's so many god tier teams in this conference.
-OKLAHOMA FAN
OU is going to be OK
Yes OU will have the most NIL $$$ besides UTA and the Aggs. It will surprise people but I'm very sure they will come up with the oil and gas money to keep up with the best. OU football is very very important in that state.
What IS the scheme/intent/strategy for selecting a football stadium entrance tune (Power-Kayne West) which is laced with profanity plus numerous racial slurs? Have you googled and viewed the lyrics? Might it be a good idea to source a replacement tune? Or is TX A&M content with being part of the problem we all face?
Can you please make two more tier videos like this but Focusing on the big 10 and pac 12
I recently watched a few OU games from the year 2000, and the announcers said that people were saying Josh Heupel looked like Justin Timberlake. Lol
But now he's looking like Freddie Kitchens in that 3:15 picture. Lol
You only get one chance at life, so take care of your health, folks. Though, time and genetics are another big uncontrollable factor.
Man, that's just what year of wear and tear coaching college football does to ya lol
I am sad to see Mississippi State in the C tier as a fan I would say B tier but in reality we aren't quite there but very close to being B tier
We will see if Leach can get things going in the right direction. They are still a threat to beat anyone in the conference
If Mullens had been smart and stayed they may have been by now
Texas and OU are probably gonna be slow coming into the SEC. But I would move around the some teams in the A and B tiers
True - there are a lot of teams that can shuffle, especially among the mid-teir SEC caliber programs. The first couple of years post-expansion are going to be interesting, especially if either squad can burst onto the scene like Mizzou did early on
not gonna lie i only clicked cause your tumbnail put bama at b.... good job got me on that one lol
😂 appreciate it
Totally on board with what you got, until Georgia. Georgia should be up with Bama if this is a reflection of current AND future expectations...
It does make sense in just about every way. It just felt weird considering Bama has won what 6 of the last 7 meetings with them? Plus the title disparity. But I get having them both up there though, considering there is a bit of a gap between Georgia and team 3
@@LimitlessSports True. I'm an Oklahoma fan and agree with what you had for them. We aren't on Bama or Georgia's level right now... but I feel we upgraded our staff in the offseason ;)
@@richardkoch5941 100%. Venables going to have the Sooners SEC ready
As a dawg fan, I'd agree on future expectations, but on results? Georgia has 1 SEC and 1 National title in the last 15 years. Florida has more. LSU has more. Auburn has more. Alabama? Dynasty. If you extended Vanderbilt into an F tier, then maybe Georgia could have an argument to be the lone A, but Alabama at this point truly is a class of their own. Hopefully, that changes in the next few years.
@@bryancouillard2016 True, but it says this is a reflection of "how teams will stack up over the next few seasons" in the description. Bama is in a class of its own over the last decade, but looking ahead, with Saban retiring likely in the next 5 years or so especially, Georgia looks every bit as strong to me... and I'm an Oklahoma fan.
Don’t see how Kentucky is in C tier. That feels way too disrespectful based on their consistent improvement over the last several seasons. And now they’re finally getting good QBs on top of that. Seems like their best has yet to come
B and C tiers are fairly interchangeable, but I will be happy to eat my crow, especially if they put together another 10 win season (which is very possible)
@@LimitlessSports funny thing is people say the same thing every year about Kentucky- well if they have another good season I’ll respect them or we’ll if they win another bowl game I’ll give them respect. Just say you don’t like Kentucky or you don’t respect them... it’s more “respectable”
@@BlackHeron89 I have no problem with Kentucky 😂 maybe slightly underrated them but B&C tiers can pretty much go either way. If you think they belong in the A tier or D tier I would disagree
@@LimitlessSports in the East this year??? Easily top three! Sec is down this year in EVERY national poll.
@@LimitlessSports Kentucky thrives on underrated and disrespect though, Iowa didn’t even think Kentucky has ever won a bowl game! Lol they beat penn st the prior year 😂
How many state has Div 1 football? I'm sure some state has more than other. Especially out west! And northeast section of America. Football is big time in the Southern state, Texas and Midwestern state
I like your adding Alabama to the East & Tex Oak to the West senerios that creates the most balance and better match ups
Hoping they do that if they keep the division format - starting to think they might go division-less though
Not bad. I would switch Tenn and UK. I cringed at OU, but they are a traditional blue blood and deserve the benefit of the doubt.
I’m high on OUs chances in the SEC. Definitely no bias lol
@@LimitlessSports Like I said, they're a blue blood and they will adjust. They will eventually win a conference title. I think hiring a defensive minded head coach is the right approach. But there is a big gap in the SEC grind and the Big 12 grind. There might be some growing pains in the first few years. Their traditional offense(not sure what their new coach will have them run) but if it is similar, it is a lot harder to prepare for with 3 or 4 practices than a month, like for a playoff game. Therefore, I see OU as being a giant killer, and upsetting some big boys, but also dropping some they shouldn't. Such is life in the SEC.
I’d switch Kentucky and Texas or Tennessee. UT hasn’t done anything since Colt McCoy and Tennessee hasn’t done anything since Fulmer in 2007, but still not that upset. Kentucky has to get at least one win over UGA to really earn respect.
@@chadsimpson9757 You were braver than me and made it a guess. But now with hindsight I can say that Tennessee is better than Kentucky and Texas.
First, there needs to be some consistantly in regards to how you are ranking these tiers. Some you rank based on what they've done in the past recently, and others you rank on new events. For example... what has Texas A&M done that Ole Miss hasn't done since they've been in the SEC??? So why is A&M on a tier above them? Unless you're projection ahead. The same thing with Arkansas, they have one good year with a new head coach (I'm happy for them by the way). So you just omit the last decade? A couple years ago they couldn't win any SEC games, but you think they're B list...
Texas is too high, Kentucky is too low and I think LSU should be on S tier (but I'm 100% biased so I'll be OK if they're not). It's just that they've won the most national championships in college football besides Bama in the last 20 years (more than Ohio State, Clemson or whoever else).
That’s the beauty of the list - it’s a little bit of both. Naturally there are arguments for an against every team being where they are at, focusing on either their past or current performance. I get what you mean though, both A&M, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas were rooted a bit more in how I think they will perform going forward.
I agree with you...
When was the last time ole miss went to the sec championship game? Oh, that’s right, zero. Arkansas has twice as recently as a decade ago. Arkansas has played ole miss 68 times and won 37 of them
Ima say I definitely agree with your list great job...you need to be working at ESPN if you aren't already...SEC proud...GATORS NATION...my question is...are you putting UT and OU in the slots you chose based off of what they did in the big 12?? And also is that same logic being used based off of the potential level they can achieve within the SEC? But it's crazy cause I was saying this a few years ago that UT and OU needed to join the SEC so we can see what they really are made of against top competition year in and year out...but you definitely hit this on the head good work
Much appreciated - I based UT and OU off their recent performance but also where I feel their trajectory will take them. I think Venables will get OU on track defensively, and I expect UT to have some form of resurgence to at least be competitive within the next couple of seasons. But who knows...by the time they join this tier list could look very different. Adding OU and UT to the conference is going to make for a lot of exciting matchups, can't wait for it
The dominance and success of the conference in football obviously has brought in so much money that it’s boosted up the excellence in 🏀and⚾️sounds like a good strategy - 🏈is the big dog!
Final 4 in baseball were all current or future SEC teams 👀
Yes. Ole Miss Vandy, and Miss State can use the money shared from the conference in football to boost their baseball programs, and it has obviously worked out
Auburn's biggest problem last year could boil down to "too many cooks in the kitchen". Mike Bobo's offense hasn't been innovative since the dawn of the printing press. Derrick Mason just came off of a stint as an SEC head coach. Meanwhile you have the ever looming shadow of booster meddling.
From the sound of things on the plains, the house is in order. We'll see if it translates into wins this season.
Agree - I think this year will be very telling. Looking forward to it!
Find out as soon as play penn st lose that again will be a long season I think.
Auburn had two wins handed to them by the same ref against Arkansas and Ole Miss. That's a proven fact. They were lucky to have the record they had.
@@tampazeke4587 Umm. You're thinking 2020, my guy. 2021 Auburn waxed Arkansas and beat Ole Miss soundly.
Mike bobo was definitely a problem offensively but Derek mason had a great year calling plays defensively outside of the mississippi state that game was just awful play calling defensively.
I agree with most of your analysis except I feel Vanderbilt should be an F and Texas should be a C
Sheesh poor Vandy 😅
No way is Texas lower than Tennessee, Arkansas, and Ole over the past two decades. Texas was extremely dominant in the 2000s (Two national title appearances) and had several 8 plus win seasons in the 2010s. The only school better than UT on the B tier is Auburn.
@@LilBigBrother1999 20 years is a long time. Lots of programs were better 20 years ago. Texas is bad. Tennessee isn't bad (right now). And Auburn is worse than Tennessee. Ole Miss is better than Texas. If they played this year could Texas beat Ole Miss? It's possible but I would in no way say it is probable. This isn't a list of traditional powers. Take Nebraska for instance. They are traditionally a team of great history and success. But right now and for quite some time they have been crap tier.
@@stanleymyrick4068 I agree with you that Texas was awful this season (Kansas beat them lol) and that most teams will be better than them next season. And maybe 20 years was too long to use. But that doesn't mean any of those teams should be on a higher tier, nor do they have a better chance of winning a championship anytime soon. I get the list is not ranking traditional powers but my point is that one good season (Ole Miss and Arkansas) does not necessarily mean those schools are trending upwards ahead of Texas. 20 years may have been too much so maybe 5 seasons would be more appropriate. Over the past 5 seasons Auburn averages 7.8 wins, Texas 7.4, Ole Miss 6, Arkansas 4, and Tennessee 5.4. Based off of recent history I would say that Texas is right there with the rest of B tier and ahead of a few.
Trust me, I am no fan of UT. But I think they get too much heat compared to other schools. They are bad but they aren't as bad as popular opinion suggests.
@@LilBigBrother1999 U of Texas gets crap because of their boosters, because of their elite 'better than' mentality that they have over the TV contracts, and other things not even 'on the field' related. -- Maybe your right in part. I disagree with you, but by the time they enter the SEC maybe they will have turned a corner. TN for instance, after going through the worst period in their history since I've been alive (50 yrs) seems to have turned things, righted the ship and going in the right direction. Texas should be great with their recruiting capabilities. In the long run, they will eventually be back. -- can't wait to see how it all pans out when OU TX hit the week in week out SEC grind.
Could you do one for the big ten please?
I'm curious to see how OU will be in the league, will they keep their identity and make other teams use smaller, faster players to keep up with their style of offense, thus making them look like Big 12 defenses or will OU conform to the league and get bigger on the line and linebackers? Speed versus power
I’m guessing with Venables OU is going to be bringing in some bigger more typical “SEC” style athletes. It’s going to be fun to see how it all plays out
@@LimitlessSports OU is gonna have the entire league gunning for them, man the Sooners and Longhorns are amazing pick ups for the league, it'll make for some really great games to watch.
I see a lot of paths for them to continue what they have been, which would translate to on average 3rd or 4th best program in new larger 16 team SEC. There is a "worst case scenario" in which they become a slightly less geographically isolated Nebraska. They can't be exactly like Nebraska in that they aren't completely changing their recruiting footprint, just inviting even more elite competitors into that space.
I think that you were pretty fair and spot on. I am in the A&M camp and I think we are A or B tier, but moving up. Your A tier was a bit crowded with teams on the cusp of moving up, but they all lack the consistency of Bama. The future will have a big impact, Sabin retires, A&M recruitment pays off, other teams get coaching stability, who knows. Thanks for the video
Appreciate it! You are right - it almost felt like the A tier needed to be broken down more. Very excited for the future in College Station - just need a few more years of no NIL rule changes to stack up some more elite recruiting classes haha
There will never be coaching stability in the SEC. 6 teams want to be perennial playoff contenders, 7 teams want to finish ranked, and 1 is ok with being bottom of the barrel. Not everyone can be happy.
@@Pr0t4t0 Agreed. If any of the A tier teams were in another conference, they would be king (Pac-10), but the SEC Teams play each other more and beat up on each other more.
@@TSRR-zs6pf Yeah. And I also feel like so many of our teams have won national championships in the past 20 years (Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Florida) that they all expect nothing less than a conference championship, so they end up with a coaching carousel despite having good coaches that give them some success.
I feel like Florida and LSU are taking steps back. Flashy coaching hires don’t always mean success
My opinion, ole miss and Kentucky def should be higher
That’s fair, they have performed well lately so I can see a good argument for them
Of the surprises, Kentucky not being higher was one that I noticed. Kentucky has been a legit team and a hard out for teams like TN and others. They need another good year I guess to help consolidate and strengthen the way people perceive them. If they tank this year, then Limitless Sports was right.
@@stanleymyrick4068 I've been wrong many times before - so they will probably go out and do something crazy like win the East lol
You should do a Big 10 tier list
Watching this in June 23. Consider re-rating these teams now?
If you basing this on all time, its hard to argue with this list. If youre basing this off of recent performance, then its incredibly flawed. If its the mixture of the two, then its solid with only a few minor changes should be made imo
Tennessee and Texas are better than that all time tho
@@user-ll6fm6hz3u Both been such a dumpsterfire of programs that their lack of success over the past ~20 seasons have hurt them a whole lot. Tennessee more so than Texas
Definitely a mix, there is a lot of room to mix some of these teams up for sure
@@DarthProlif 20 years of being bad and still the second winningest program in the conference for Tennessee, 4th when you count Oklahoma and, get this, Texas
I would swap Kentucky Ana Auburn
That’s a fair take Bubba, I could see them switched out
I would say that too except since Tennessee is up there and we are UKs daddy idk if they are with us unless the teams are in order of where they are competitively speaking in each catagory(which I doubt)
@@classless_goat1833 😅 didn’t have to do the wildcats like that
@@LimitlessSports that’s what big brothers are for tho
@@classless_goat1833 don’t think your anybodys daddy due to how shit your program has been the past few years
I can't really argue with that. It isn't exactly how I'd do it but it's pretty close.
Definitely some tweaks that could be made. I might look silly a few years from now 😅
Is this list supposed to be all time rankings or current?
Current, with a little bit of projection
Florida and OU being in the same tier is a bit of a stretch…
Bama is in the category of their own so long as $aban is there. Then GA then OU in the a tier
The rest of the list is pretty solid
*OU wins going away in 08 if we had demarco Murray (arguably our best player on offense)
100% agree if Murray is healthy OU wins the natty - that offense was absolutely unstoppable until that game. I think a lot of people look past Florida because they focus on the down years - but I will say I'd have Florida nearer the bottom of the A tier and Oklahoma nearer the top. I wouldn't be opposed to putting them at the top of the B tier.

Away

He would have jumped over the line on those goal line stands Florida made.
And Sam would have had him coming out of the backfield in the passing game as well.
Big fax
Completely agree from top to bottom bro.
OU in the playoffs is the red headed step child of the SEC.
Its fair imo. The talent disparity between the SEC and Big 12 obfuscates the gap.
I’ll take OU in the A tier. Look I know we’re the winningest program in the modern era. That being said we’ve been on a ANatty drought. I do think with BV as our HC we can win a natty or 2 but until that happens we don’t belong in the S tier
Really hoping BV can get it right. So many opportunities just couldn't take that final step
Any teams that plays in big12 is irrelevant, if you only win 10 games your considered average. Other conference such as sec you get beat down week in and out and the playing field has flattened " you better have defense or you will only go 7 or 8 wins max average. Let's wait till ou comes over before comparing with a conference that rides little yellow school bus. Best of luck..#humbleYOURself

Appreciate it, thumbnail def made to ruffle some feathers lol
Pretty accurate for now
With how quickly CFB is changing who knows what it will look like in 5+ years 😬
Texas needs to be C tier
I think Texas will see surprising growth in the next couple years. Hope I'm wrong though lol
oklahoma and georgia are better and more consistant then a&m LSU florda and by a good margin. i say oklahoma and georgia move up a tier but then you gotta make one more tier just for bama
Yeah that was the tough part - since Bama is so far ahead of everyone (for now) it made it a bit tricky. I’m interested to see if LSU and Florida can field dominant teams and if A&M can finally take that next step
Lol you're saying Oklahoma is better when they haven't played a day in the SEC. Guarantee Oklahoma becomes a middle of the pack sec team.
@@BiggHogg870 and I guarantee you they won’t : )
Really, you genius? The last two times LSU played OU in the BCS natty in 2003 and in the playoffs in 2019, OU got obliterated by LSU. Come to think of it wing nut, the last two times UGA played LSU, moonbat, LSU obliterated them both times. Don't lose your day job because you won't get another.
@@LimitlessSports OU is way over rated in your stupid tiers .
Lol got my attention with the thumbnail
All part of the plan 😅
How do you read off the Kentucky stats putting them at C and then read Arkansas’ and put them at B? Lol
Georgia has been in the mix for years, just won the natty and has recruited in the top 3 for years. If that doesn’t put them in the top tier, then almost nothing will. I disagree strongly.
True they have been in the mix and have finally gotten over the hump, but Bama has been there done that - and has won 7/8 against Georgia I believe. Just depends on the lens you look through. If I’m just looking at next season 100% they are in the same tier
Georgia has been a powerhouse for years our only problem is Alabama but we have been east champs for several years too recruiting and an amazing coach he’ll they won’t the natty with a walk on with a top quarterback on the bench they should have been s teir
UT fan here, if that's your criteria, are there any other S-tier college football teams currently competing?
I'm just sayin', we get stomped by Bama and Georgia a lot, and they feel much the same.
yall good for a natty every 40 years as long as there is a down year in college football like last year....but mostly UGA is just dog shit
@@LimitlessSports I’m not saying Georgia has accomplished all that Alabama has. That would be crazy, but I think that they are currently at Bama’s level like Clemson was for a few years there. Time will tell though.
Honestly, I have no qualms with this list. I would possibly argue that Texas and A&M each move down a tier, but with your explanation, they seem to sit correctly.
As much as I bag on OU for being the playoff tuneup team still clinging to the “Blue Blood” title without winning anything, I think they’ll transition to the SEC 100x better than Texas will. If there’s one thing OU knows how to be, it’s competitive. Playoffs aside, OU competes at a high level in just about anything whether it be recruiting, OOC, or conference play. I give credit where it’s due; OU does not run scared.
With that being said, I’m ready for my boys to get back on track under the Connecticut Irishman. Geaux Tigers!
Appreciate the objective OU take! Kelly seemed like a weird hire from a cultural perspective (although he is working on his accent lol) but from a football perspective LSU is going to continue to be a scary team for a very long time
@@LimitlessSports Wuhl, yeh know we seem tuh have a surtin uhffect awn peepul from up nawrth. 😂
so ou is one of the most winningest program, 1st in amount of conference tittles, 7th in overall nattys, and 20th in bowl records but ou "doesn't win anything" and also ou has a positive record in winning over most sec teams outside of 3 teams ou has a positive bowl record over sec teams the only bad stat ou has vs the sec is in the playoffs but even in the video he said venables could get us in that sec grindset and toughness they lacked in previous years and he has about 4 years to bring ou back to it before the leap so if we see the old ou like 2000s ou you might see them compete for sec titles right away and get ou more nattys then any of the past coaches hopefully he brings the monster back
W tier
I want to see how this holds up now with the transfer portal and Nil .
Going to be an interesting next few years if they don’t put any constraints on it 👀
I’d put Kentucky in the b because I think they are better then Tennessee as of now
That’s fair and completely true. I think Tennessee has a higher ceiling especially if NIL rules don’t change for a while, but Kentucky has been consistently good as of late
Only beating them 4 times in the past 40 meetings then they are not better than them and even tho it isn’t head to head in the tiers the way I think is if a team can’t consistently beat the other then they should not be higher than them at ALL. Especially if the two teams play each other EVERY YEAR
@@classless_goat1833 I was basing of this year
@@dapigbear312 even then the best team y’all played was a mediocre at best LSU team and if we had some things figured out at the beginning of the year we would beat Florida too. But we didn’t and so we didn’t but if UK had our schedule they would not be 10-3 this past year
It's easy to armchair quarterback now at the end of the season, but Tennessee is definitely better than Kentucky.
Personally I’d move UK up to B and TN and Auburn down to C. I think TN is on the rise but UK has been consistent over the last few years. Auburn is still getting their footing together. I’d move Florida to B for the time being until Billy makes some noise at this level. I also would move GA up to S. They just came off of a national championship win and are consistently in the conversation to play in the SEC championship every year. Other than that I’d say it’s pretty good.
My list would go like this:
S-AL, GA
A-A&M, OU, LSU,
B-AR, FL, Ole Miss, UK, TX
C-SC, Miss State, Mizz, TN, Auburn
D-Vandy
Also should be noted that in the SEC on a level playing field I believe OU is truly a B level team, I’d leave them in A go start.
Oh and I’m a gamecock. As much as I’d love to put us higher, at the moment we are a C level team
Appreciate the breakdown and explanation. Auburn and Florida are definitely both in flux with coaching so like you said it’s a wait and see situation as to where they fall. Right now Bama and Georgia are on the same level, but I had to give Bama the edge based on the longevity of their dominance. I believe SEC is going to be a competitive league once expansion settles
A&M hasn’t had a 10 win season in a decade and hasn’t won a natty since the Great Depression. They don’t belong in a tier above UF lmaoo
@@PatsGators497 gators haven’t won a natty since 2008. A&M also has shown they can recruit in the top 5 or 6 consistently. Florida definitely has the potential to be in the higher, but Napier has to prove something in the SEC for me to rank them higher than A&M right now.
@@andrewfloresca5029 A&M has to prove they can have a 10 win season and win a natty post Great Depression to prove they’re a real team
@@PatsGators497 if we were comparing program history, I’d completely agree with you and put UF above A&M. But you’re comparing apples to oranges since we’re talking about the NEW expanded SEC. A&M just signed the best recruiting class in history and beat Alabama last year. I think Napier will do great things at UF, but again I haven’t seen anything from him to say I think he’s got the program CURRENTLY higher than A&M.
W take I got clickbaited - Florida fan
I’d need to go to the funny farm putting them at the bottom
One day then volunteers we’ll be on another level in college football
I believe Kentucky will break into the B tier this upcoming season with wins over Tn. and Ole Miss.
Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they did, feels like they could be on the cusp
Kentucky struggles with UT and the Mississippi schools. I cant see them getting a win over Ole Miss
@@LimitlessSports Kentucky you underrated it should be over Tennessee as they have been more consistent
Georgia is 100% S tier. A&M might be S tier not to far from now, Texas just got Arch Manning so A tier seems likely for once. And honestly OU could really do some damage. Don’t count them out on S tier. They could have a chance at winning the conference this in the 2020s
This tier list could look very different once 2025 comes around 👀
It’s more of a program tier list over the last 15 or so years not really the last 5 years. I think it’s fair. If it was just the last 5 years then uga and bama would be S tier but a&m hasn’t proved it on the field yet.
@@natelindquist2552 yeah. That’s why I said A&M could become an S tier in the next decade
Vandy may not win much, but dang they ALWAYS play Ole Miss well. It’s a battle ever single time.
Week 6 (2022) - Every season brings on surprises.
True - but since this isn't a 2022 tier list, I'll be more interested in how things look Week 6 (2025)
Good list but UGA should be in S with Bama 🤷🏽♂️ like you said top 10 5 years. Top 5 recruiting 5 years. FINALLY A NATTY. Elite coaches. Put talent in the NFL every year. Historic draft class this past draft. That’s S tier to me.
Georgia certainly as sustained excellence. If they had another natty in the bag I might consider, I just feel like Bama's overall resume is ahead. I could definitely understand putting Georgia in it's own tier like A+ right under Bama though.
@@LimitlessSports I agree Bama’s overall resume is ahead. But S tier isn’t an exclusive club to just 1 team. UGA since Kirby arrived has became a real challenger to Bama. Have there been blowouts along the way? Sure on both sides though 🤷🏽♂️. Recruiting has never been closer between the two either. By another championship I assume you mean recent ones? I’m interested to see where you rank Clemson and Ohio St.
@@consciousm1nd Taking a look at it from your perspective, I could see putting Georgia in the S tier. Just depends on the outlook you have on it. Championship wise yes if Georgia has 2 in the past 8 or so years compared to Bama I'd have them in the S tier without a doubt. Clemson and Ohio State are both interesting because neither won their conference last year despite clearly being the most dominant teams over the last 5 years within their respective conferences. I'd likely put both at S tier within the ACC/B1G.
@@LimitlessSports yet OSU only has 1 natty like UGA…
@@consciousm1nd Comparing different conferences. It is relative - not every S tier is created equal. For instance - Oklahoma would currently be in the S tier of the Big 12 because they have been far and away the best team in the conference over the past few seasons. Same goes for Ohio State. Georgia however has not been the best team in their conference year in and out - and another team in the conference (Alabama) has been considerably more dominant - which is why I have them below. There is a definite gap. If we were doing a full NCAA tier list it would be a different story
What team has the best opportunity to break into the S tier?
I think you are being too generous with ChokeU at A tier, they are definitely going to struggle and be a B tier team. Texas a C tier team. Depending if A&M can get stable on offense they and the bulldogs have the best chance to make the S tier list
@@SuperKronos55 I think OU and Texas will surprise a lot of people in how competitive they are in the SEC. If A&M can keep that NIL money flowing, the future could be bright for the Aggies 👀
Ha, A&M leaked OU and Texas going to the SEC and used all of their resources to secure a top class because they know they’ll take a back seat when they come in the conference. They tried everything in their power to stop OU and Texas to the SEC happening. Jimbo has yet to have a 10 win season in the SEC. Havent played in a conference championship in over 20 years. Trash program.
@@jacksonmainard5303 I think you will be unpleasantly surprised over the next couple years. Or there are more 8 wins seasons incoming 🤷♂️
Biggest mistake going to SEC if oklahoma or Texas ever win more than 8 games again once in SEC will be a miracle.
The "dominance" Alabama showed going 4 overtimes with Auburn was something to behold, then the very close wins at Arkansas, LSU, the last second win against Florida and let's not forget their regular season loss to Texas A&M.
Their performance in the National Championship Game will also be a highlight reel....lol
Honestly though, your speculation was interesting...
It was more so a tier list based on a combination of recent past, present, and future predictions. In a "2022" poll I would definitely have Bama and Georgia in the same tier - like you said they made themselves human last year with how many close calls they had. Will be interesting to see how the team plays this year
Ok fine, but why aren’t Ole Miss and A&M in the same tier. They’re the same team, but A&M has a slightly higher floor and lower ceiling if you disregard 2020.
I think A&M has a higher ceiling than Ole Miss as well - but to be fair outside of that one year they haven't proved it - so fair point
Texas and Auburn should be C. Kentucky should be B
I can agree with that in terms of recent success - but thinking 4-5 years in the future I'd stand by my rankings. Wouldn't surprise me if you are correct though
Auburn is different. Not a fan, but I respect the program. They're in the right place. Kentucky hasn't showed up in a National Championship or even Conference Championship in the last 10 years. Texas might be in C and OK at B. Just have to see how they do in the SEC.
Auburn is not c tier. get on with that. look at our records against the teams in C. we almost always beat those teams. include ole piss and tenn and arkansas for that matter. we've been kicking their asses for the 25 years. if anything we are the best of this B their. also do quite well against a&m and lsu. so no B+ is more like it.
You're a casual
I think UGA deserves to be in S tier and bump Kentucky up to B tier.
Swap Kentucky and Arkansas. Need more than one season to move up.
I'd be open to move Kentucky up. Can't see Georgia in the same tier as Bama though just based on the consistent pace Bama has won nattys at. Maybe a separate A+ tier for Georgia lol
Kentucky always is underestimated. Lately they have been way over performing expectations.
Has a Kentuckian I appreciate and am thankful for the kind words, but I think UK’s tier is fair. If anything I’d drop Ole Miss and have the Rebs and State at the top of C-tier.
@@crkmt my problem was more Arkansas. Of the two Kentucky has had far more good years recently.
I like your list. Only adjustment I’d make is UGA and OU alone at tier A. UF, LSU, and TAMU move to B tier. Nice video!!
Fair take, appreciate it!
UGA just won a Natty 🤦🏻
@@mikeestes1076 1st time since when??? Bama is a constant. On a level by themselves until somebody shows otherwise over a few years period.
Might wan change that teir around...and even with all those Vols down years they were still 2nd best all time in sec winningest programs and top 10 all time winningest in ncaa... shoulda been higher even with the down years
Right. Older fans know this but younger ones won't do the research and find out.
This could just be a biased opinion but I think Arkansas is going to break out in the next 5 years and be up there with Georgia. They took an absolute W in the portal and I believe are going to do very good in the years to come with Sam Pittman in the driver's seat.
If Pittman can continue the resurgence it is possible. We might be looking at them very differently in a couple of years
Florida is same tier as Texas right now. Both schools need to show improvement b4 moving up a tier. A&M and LSU are also B tier until they prove otherwise. Bama is in a tier all its own, followed by OU and GA alone in the A tier. We’ll see if OU stays there.
PS - good clickbait on your screenshot with the school mixup by tier.
It's almost like there needs to be a B+ tier imo. I had Florida up above Texas since they have proven they can thrive in the conference, but both are definitely close. Very interested to look back in 5-10 years and see how OU and Texas are doing
Well I do agree on Florida and Texas the bottom feeders of the Sec for a few years Ou has a coach with no head coaching experience and Jimbo is away a head of Brent in that Department so don't put Ou and Alabama in the Same Category all Oklahoma wins are in the Jv league Big 12 now They are in the national football conference in a few years Don't see them winning 7 titles in the West I think not let's not get ahead of the game and you haven't beaten Am and Vanderbilt yet Nottt ..Let's slow it down on Ou especially Texas of bring Powerhouses of the Sec Cmon let's get real for Second Am is probably winning it all next year so definitely Pier 1 and Am and Alabama will be the Game of the year this year ??Definitely not Ou vs Baylor Cmon man your probably thinking about Oklahoma softball team instead of the football team of Pier 1
@@kriscobb7003 I think you are highly under- evaluating Oklahoma's ability to thrive in the SEC. Not to the level of dominance they had in the Big 12 , but don't be surprised if they are in the top 3-5 of the conference year in and out. That being said - if A&M wins a national title next year all is forgiven haha

It’s tough to argue against Bama tbh 🤷♂️
Tennessee prob moving up that list now
We will see - there is still a lot of season left and some big tests for the Volunteers 👀
I feel like OU will do good in the SEC but will consistently fall short when they have to play the big dogs. They’ll be good but won’t ever win the SEC championship
Probably not.
I’m willing to guarantee Oklahoma wins an SEC title within the first 10 years they join the conference. Giving myself some extra years for cushion
@@LimitlessSports to funny. This isnt the 80's OU
Ou will definitely have a few sec titles in the 10 years after joining.
@@terrybrunk9190 What's saying in a decade we can't get back there? We'll be making so much more money in the SEC, we recruit incredibily well out of Texas, and we'll be getting even better recruiting once we going the SEC.

Choklahoma isn't S teir in the SEC lol they're just another middle of the pack team.

@@jameswinter6125 On the contrary - I think stealing the land and not playing exactly by the rules makes the Sooners a perfect fit for the SEC 😂
Georgia does not belong in the same tier as Florida, LSU, or A&M. And this is coming from a Vols fan. I think the entire A and B tier can be interchangeable in their current state. At this point, I would stretch it to say that Florida and LSU need to B at a minimum, possibly C. Other than that it is a pretty solid list, I just think you gave too much credit to successful programs in the past that have struggled and have new coaches, but there is no regard for failure and you always gave the4m the benefit of the doubt.
Fair assessment - and mainly because I think the coaches (in the case of LSU and Florida) will help “revive” those programs to an extent. If this was just ranking teams as they are right now without thought of the future I would absolutely have to flip some teams around
Lost to LSU 37-10 & 36-17 Last 2 times.You want them higher because they won 1 national championship?
You are CLEARLY are a casual fan.... this post makes you look completely ignorant
@@ace_krish6124 okay, and since then LSU has been garbage. Wins in 2018/2019 with a different head coach have no relevance to the current state of the teams.
As a Gator fan...you've lost to us 15 out of the last 16 games...so Tennessee definitely shouldn't even be in the B tier considering in the past 16 years we've lost more games to UK then Tennessee...so Tennessee should be in the same tier as Missouri...truth be told...
Sounds about right, however, Georgia probably should be at top tier. Are you thinking Oklahoma will go to the East and Texas to the West?
I’m guessing they change the setup to either pods or more of an open system. But if they keep it as is either that or maybe a complete realignment? Going to be interesting to see how it plays out
Part 2 now that season is over we be great
Tennessee a tier over Kentucky? Lol
Look at how many UofK players went in the draft vs the number Tennessee has put.
(In the last 10 years)
Not to mention the difference in record.
Kentucky is going to beat everyone in the east except Georgia maybe.
I questioned that too. I mean we all know Kentucky used to be mentioned with Vandy, and that gave the east a bad name. But times have changed. The east seems more competitive 1-5 or 6. Kentucky's been top 25 in recruiting and development for a minute. And they've been consistently good. Imo they've earned the title of 3rd best program in the East.
Right now Kentucky is better than Tennessee no question - but I think Tennessee is going to improve in the next few years before the SEC expands. Or maybe Kentucky surprises me and makes 10 win seasons the norm
@@LimitlessSports No, Kentucky is not better than Tennessee. UK quiet literally lost at home to UT this past season.
@@zachlong2850 Kentucky had a better overall and conference record. Texas A&M beat Bama last year - but Bama was clearly a better team than them. Although to be fair - I don't think the gap between Tenn and Kentucky is wide.
I am very offended about LSU being ranked above Auburn and on the same level of Texas. Like I agree we are a B tier team and that we line up on the same level as Ole Miss and Arkansas but I think LSU is on level too and I don't think Texas hasn't earned the B tier yet.
Auburn has 2 nattys, 1 natty since 2000, LSU has 3 since 2000.. would have to argue that LSU has a higher quality of players coming out as well even on bad years.
Miss State football has been to a bowl game for like 14 or 15 straight years.
It's an achievement, but it only takes 6 wins to get there. It does mean they haven't fielded a terrible team in a long time though
Don’t let those Mizzou 5 stars confuse yall. You may can get 1 or 2 five stars in the Big10 and beat up on a “big time conference foe” (smh) but in the SEC you need 5 star players and 5 star depth as well.
That's why A&M is brining them in by the dozens haha!
@@LimitlessSports They’ve actually been pretty good with bringing five stars in. They never had a #1 overall class but they def brought in talent. If they can develop that 5 star QB they got into a star then I can see them finally getting over the hump and winning the West. As a Bama fan I’m just glad they’re hurting auburn and LSU’s recruiting. Haha
think you need to bump up the vols significantly
They've definitely shown out this year
Not gonna lie, the clickbait preview with Vandy in A tier got me to click… good work. Don’t really disagree with anything on the real list haha
Appreciate it 😅
I will be curious to see what happens in Tuscaloosa once Saban does finally retire. The guy can't coach forever, despite what Tide fans think. The biggest questions will be, who do they get to take over once he is gone, and how will they do? If you look at history, once Bear Bryant retired, Bama only had a handful is very good teams until Gene Stallings got there. And even that was limited to one truly great team (1992) and a few really good ones. Once Stallings was gone, the Tide were up and down for about a decade with coaches who didn't work out, i.e. Dubose, Franchione, Price (kinda), and Shula. None of them had the success that Tide fans were use to. Then came The Man! Saban revived the team to Bear Bryant standards and then some. But will the Tide continue on this path of success once Nick retires, or will they suffer through some growing pangs and sub-par seasons until they find the right guy again? I tend to think it will be the latter. Every dynasty eventually dies, but the good ones are eventually reborn.
Odds are Dabo Sweeny would replace Saban, and Bama won't get much worse. Obviously, no one wants to be the one to follow the GOAT, but if offered the job, I think the fact that Bama is Dabo's Alma Mater will outweigh following Saban, and he'll come to Tuscaloosa
Going to be a tough task for sure - it will take a different breed to want to follow after Saban. Or a very large sum of money. I definitely see at least a slight drop off happening once the next coach comes on board
@@LimitlessSports to be fair, a drop off by Bama standards is a non playoff NY6 bowl, and with the playoff being expanded by then, they’re still more than likely a playoff team
@@ryancharlton485 I can see your reasoning, but I tend to disagree. I know the draw of coaching his alma mater would be there, but I think Dabo is legacy building at Clemson. He's already got 2 titles headed into his 16th year there. If I am right, and Saban makes it 20 at Bama, that would mean Dabo wouldn't take over until the 2027 season when he would be 58 years old and already have 20 years at Clemson. He'd have to make a choice...coach 10-15 at Bama, or stay at Clemson for another 10-15 before retiring. I think he stays with the Tigers.
@@redleg1971 well even if Dabo is not the one to replace Saban, it would be naive to believe Saban hasn’t already hand picked his successor and if Saban believes they are up for the job, then everyone should believe they are.
I agree with most of it. Ole Miss should ,be a C tier Tennessee should be A tier however because of the past 6 or 7 years I know why they aren't on your picks. But let me guarantee you that after this season and next season you will agree with me and also. A&M should be B tier.
I'm excited to see how Tennessee plays through their SEC slate - potential to be a really good team for sure
Great assessment!
Texas has had a lot of recent years where they already made the most $ in college football yet are closing out BIg 12 era losing to Kansas. I'm not sure how NIL and even more money will do anything but accelerate whatever is off with their already cash rich program.
Feels like someone just has to flip the switch over there. The question is who is going to be the guy to do it?
I can’t get on board with UF being ranked in the same tier as UGA
Fair. Polar opposite sides though 😅
You got a lot right, but I agree with some other commenters that Georgia is in the top tier. I also think you're criticism of the Longhorns isn't a 100% accurate. You have them in the right place, but their issue isn't that they have all the talent in the world, it's that they have talent in the wrong places and then they don't develop it.
Yes they have some top 5 classes, but then they have less than stellar classes. If you average their classes over the last 10 years, the number will sueprise you, especially if you compare that to A&M. Also, their talent often is at the skill position. If they don't get linemen, all the skill in the world doesn't matter.
That’s true, it all starts up front, both offensively and defensively. Looks like they are starting to correct that, but they definitely need to fix things before they join the SEC
A&m in a tier but Auburn in b? Might want to follow them a little bit more since any Saturday Auburn can pull out the w. Not to mention they play in the SEC West. I mean almost and should have be bama last year. They are easily in a tier School
I think that Auburn and A&M have been pretty close - I just moved A&M up based on the success I project them to have over the next few seasons. They could prove me wrong if they keep winning 8 games a year
