College football expert Phil Steele thinks Ohio State is the best football team in America.

Steele recently released his top 25 from his yearly publication and the Ohio State Buckeyes were number one, according to 247Sports. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas A&M rounded out the top five. The Wisconsin Badgers checked in at 14.

Anyone who doesn’t have Clemson and Ohio State in the top two spots should be ignored and never listened to ever again.

The Buckeyes and Tigers are absolutely the two best teams in America going into the 2019 campaign. We can debate the order, but they’re the two best teams.

Ohio State is absolutely loaded, and I have no problem at all with them being number one. As long as Justin Fields is under center, then their offense is going to be damn near impossible to stop.

That’s no disrespect to Trevor Lawrence and the Tigers. They’re just as good. No matter what you think, you have to admit Clemson and Ohio State are the two best squads in America heading into the season.

As for the Badgers being fourteenth, that’s just a laughably disrespectful ranking. I like Phil Steele and I love his yearly publication.

Still, I’m not going to sit here and pretend that ranking is even close to accurate. Keep that energy, folks.

There’s no way in hell Wisconsin is only fourteenth. We’re a top-10 squad, and we’re going to show up and show out in 2020.

You can take that to the bank!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
