Josh Pate's Big Ten Program Power Rankings (Late Kick Cut)

Published 2024-02-09
The Big Ten is expanding with the addition of USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington. On Late Kick Live Ep 481 Josh Pate ranked all 18 programs using a rolling 3-year blended set of criteria including on-field performance, talent acquisition, resource pool, and stability. With Ohio State and Michigan atop the Big Ten, is there another team joining the top tier? How do the next tiers shake out? Has Luke Fickell gotten Wisconsin fully back? Where do programs like Iowa and Penn State stack up? Could a turnaround be in the cards for Nebraska?

    My feedback to you josh is a 100% thumbs up, your breakdown of all teams I believe was right on as I'm not only a BIG10 fan but a PSU fan and I also follow all your shows because I'm most of all a college football fan and you do an excellent job in what you do keep up the great job thanks

    I don't know if you were going by what Joel Klatt was predicting, but he also has Oregon at #3. And with Oregon, I have to correct you on one minor thing. Under Dan Lanning it's "Progrum". Dan Lanning has a top 3 ranked Progrum. And yes, #3 ranked 24 recruiting class. A first. And the best.
  • Josh Pate: Mega SC Fan Here, Until Further Notice Your Assessment Of SC Is Absolutely Spot On ✌️, It Is What It Is Period 😮..........
  • @CFBPSU
    Unrivaled in our tier 🦁
  • @xmositoxc147
    Glad Rutgers wasn't in the last tier. Steady progression with Schiano as always. Removal of leagues will help us. At the very least, it will not benefit the West teams who had it easy. Crossing fingers that a good year elevates us to the next tier of teams soon.
  • @timjackson2810
    Anybody who knows the Big would disagree with you. Im a buckeye fan i agree with tier 1. Maybe change Oregon and Michigan. Only because Harbaughs departure. But Wisconsin has been the most consistent program outside of osu the last Twenty years. Facts
  • This feels like both a projection and a grade of on-field results at the same time. If it were me, and it isn’t, I would stick to one. I feel like it makes more sense to go by only resume or only power, but not both
  • @scandalousdeity
    Ok, here's another idea for a video for you, spawning off of this one. You mention teams in ascension mode, teams that could be on the rise, such as Nebraska and Wisconsin. Ok, if they move up several spots, who do you see above them that would drop several spots?
  • @brycewilson1909
    man i just hope Michigan State can win some more football games this upcoming season
  • @John-zz6fz
    This looks pretty right to me... any chance you would do a Top 12 National Progrum power ranking? I say 12 as it implies perennial playoff teams.
  • @johnmandock56
    USC is always overranked. Wake me up when they have a serious defense.
  • @Stewstories
    As a Nebraska fan I was sad to see we are considered tier 4 but it is accurate none the less. All those teams above us would probably beat Nebraska in the past 3 years. Now in the next 2 years that will hopefully change but we will see
  • O State just hired Chip Kelly. I think this will help their offense.
  • @SG-jv5zi
    I don't think i'd change anything about this list
  • @justingold9240
    As a Nebraska fan I hope you are right, but I probably would have put us in tier 5 at least
  • @accentball
    Pretty fair list. Not sure I'd change much. Maybe a few things in the 10-18 range, but i dont think any of those teams are possible of making a humongous leap this year, so I won't bother 😂
