The college football season should start in July

They should start college football season in fucking July because it was like, I just... It was so fun watching just wall to wall college football.

This is a subjective opinion on scheduling, but the CFB season has notably not moved to July.

Gene Chizik should be fired as North Carolina's defensive coordinator

Gene Chizik, like what? He, I don't even know. I, you have to fire him. The fact that it happened [giving up 40 in a quarter] and then the next day Jackson state... shut down [FAMU] and like UNC gave up 24 points to them.

Chizik was not fired immediately but did eventually leave the program after the 2023 season due to poor defensive performance.

Stetson Bennett would be great on a good NFL team

I'm kind of kind of thinking Stetson Bennett. It might be a pro, even though he's got like the best team around him, he, he looked awesome. Put him on a really good NFL team, then he'll be great.

Bennett was drafted by the Rams but spent his rookie year on the reserve/non-football illness list and has yet to prove his greatness in the NFL.

Big Ben's podcast will devolve into him ranking the injuries he's played through

I'm sure that it's just gonna devolve into [Ben Roethlisberger] talking about various injuries. It should just be him talking about, I ranking the injuries that he's played through.

His podcast 'Footbahlin' focuses more on football and beer than just his injuries, though he does recap his career.

Tom Brady will win Gisele back by winning another Super Bowl

I think you have to take the Bucs for the season because if we know anything about Tom Brady, he's like, I'm gonna win her back by winning another Super Bowl.

PredictionFootballHotSarcastic
Brady did not win the Super Bowl (lost in the Wild Card), and the couple officially divorced shortly after.

Serena Williams is definitely not retired

I'd just like to call my shot real quick. She's not, she's not retired. Yeah, definitely not retired. She is not retired.

Despite some teasing, Serena has remained retired from professional tennis since the 2022 US Open.

Georgia is better than they were last year

I think Georgia is better than last year's team. I came into this season, thinking Alabama and Ohio State, one of them is going to win the national title... After what I saw on Saturday, I suddenly think that Georgia's probably right up there with those two.

Georgia finished the season 15-0, winning the National Championship in a 65-7 blowout. They were statistically and result-wise superior to the 2021 team.

Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud are the two best quarterbacks in the country

I think [C.J. Stroud] and Bryce Young are the two best quarterbacks in the country. I think that they will be Heisman finalists.

Both players were Heisman finalists in 2022 and were the top two picks in the 2023 NFL Draft.

LSU and Florida State are both just mediocre 7-5 or 8-4 teams

Neither of those teams is very good. Like LSU is gonna be seven and five, Florida State's gonna be seven and five, maybe eight and four in the ACC.

LSU went 10-4 and won the SEC West. FSU went 10-3. Both teams far exceeded Fornelli's prediction.

Oklahoma is my dark horse to make the College Football Playoff

I have Oklahoma as my dark horse 1-4 because everyone... write [Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama] in... but what do you think about Oklahoma?

Oklahoma went 6-7, finishing with their first losing record since 1998. They were nowhere near the playoff.

Drake Maye is an upgrade over Sam Howell

I think Drake Maye, their new quarterback, is really good... I think that he's just, he's probably an upgrade over Sam Howell, no offense. I know that he's with your Commanders now, but I think that they've got a better quarterback now.

Maye had an incredible 2022 season, throwing for over 4,300 yards and 38 TDs, largely considered a superior collegiate performance to Howell's final year.

Cade Klubnik is a future Hall of Famer

This kid for Clemson is a future Hall of Famer... I've seen five passes from him. Hall of Famer, talking gold jacket folks. Where were you when we said this? [Cade] Klubnik. He's legit.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
Klubnik has struggled with consistency as the starter at Clemson and is currently not on a Hall of Fame trajectory.
