For the third consecutive season, a Big Ten team will open the season ranked No. 2 in the AP Poll. Michigan opened the 2023 season at No. 2 and went on to win the National Championship, and Ohio State opened the 2024 season at No.

Paul Finebaum says the only reason the Big Ten wants to expand the CFP field is to add more mediocre Big Ten teams.

It’s exciting news, as Rivals Industry Rankings place Hiter as a five-star recruit, the No. 1 running back, the No. 1 player in Virginia and the No. 8 player in the nation. Last season for Louisa County High School, he racked up 1,698 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns.

Paul Finebaum is ready to leave the country if a Big Ten team wins the national championship, but he expects an SEC team will win it all.

Finebaum’s comments come shortly after Tuesday’s first College Football Playoff rankings release, which has Michigan at No. 3 behind No. 2 Georgia and No. 1 Ohio State.

One challenge the Razorbacks face, as mentioned by Finebaum, is their difficult schedule. Kyle Wood from Athlon Sports indicated that Arkansas has one of the hardest schedules in the SEC, ranking it as the fifth most challenging in the conference.
