DISRESPECTED: On3's #10 Ranking of ASU is Ludicrous and Lazy

About this episode

The episode discusses Arizona State Sun Devils' challenging Big 12 schedule and their pre-season ranking by On3.

Arizona State Sun Devils face one of college football’s toughest gauntlets—can Kenny Dillingham’s squad turn a brutal Big 12 road schedule into a golden ticket for the College Football Playoff? With high-stakes matchups against Texas A&M, Texas Tech, BYU, and Kansas State all on the road, decisive showdowns loom for emerging stars like Cutter Bowley, Kyson Brown, and the revamped Sun Devils secondary. The conversation focused on Arizona State’s uphill battle in the new Big 12, dissecting pre-season rankings from On3 and debating whether the Sun Devils are underestimated, especially with a 28th-ranked strength of schedule. Several points were raised, including key questions about a rebuilt offensive line, how a new-look secondary will hold up against pass-heavy offenses like Arizona, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Baylor, and whether standout defenders like Lyric Rawls and Josiah McGrew can deliver under pressure. Will ASU’s high-risk, high-reward schedule pay off?
