Blue Chip Ratio 2024: Which SEC Teams Can Win a Championship?, EA Sports Offense & Defense Rankings - Locked On SEC – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Bud Elliott's "Blue-Chip Ratio" for 2024 is out, as he lists 16 teams that can win the National Championship this year based on his Blue Chip Ratio, which evaluates how many blue chip recruits teams have signed over their past four recruiting classes. Based on which teams have won the National Championship every year, only teams that make this list actually go on to win the championship at the end of the season. Which teams from the SEC made this year's cut? 

Also, with the EA Sports College Football game coming out soon, we run through their Offense and Defense overall team rankings that came out this week. You may be surprised by some of those rankings as both Alabama and Georgia rank near the top in both. But LSU and Florida with defenses ranked in the top 25? 

And we find out what Nick Saban is making as an employee of the University of Alabama now, and some recruiting tidbits from a few teams.
