“I really think the SEC’s depth and the fact that you’re gonna have a bunch of teams with pretty dang good records and resumes is going to have them well positioned.”

1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Miami
4. Utah
5. Oregon
6. Texas
7. Alabama
8. Penn State
9. Notre Dame
10. Ole Miss
11. LSU
12. Memphis

As for the National Champion, McElroy is picking the Ohio State Buckeyes to win it all.

“I’m taking the Ohio State Buckeyes to win the national championship in 2024. They have, I think a super dynamic run game, the defense has a chance to be elite, and I still believe that the offensive line, even though there are question marks, I still think the offensive line is gonna be plenty good enough with Chip Kelly calling the plays and the run game to be able to complement what they want to be on the perimeter with super talented weapons that they have wide receivers. The Ohio State buckeyes over the Georgia Bulldogs for the national title.”
