Greg McElroy: 'Ludicrous' to call Iowa State football a top-four team

After coming off its best AP Top 25 finish in program history last season and returning an overwhelming amount of production this fall, it's only fair that Iowa State football has sky-high expectations heading into the 2021 season. A program that, not long ago, was struggling to win more than three games a season, the Cyclones currently rank at No. 4 in ESPN's Football Power Index for the upcoming season, though at least one SEC quarterback has complaints over that which he publicly aired.

Alabama's Mac Jones 'frustrated' by NFL Draft stock, Greg McElroy says

Alabama quarterback Mac Jones continues to rise up draft boards this spring after a record-breaking 2020 season, but he still might be the fourth or fifth prospect at the position for many teams after Clemson's Trevor Lawrence, BYU's Zach Wilson, Ohio State's Justin Fields and North Dakota State's Trey Lance. Now that the San Francisco 49ers have traded up to No. 3 overall and are in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday for Alabama's second Pro Day, many experts have speculated that Jones could go quite a bit higher than initially expected.
