The Ravens are definitive Super Bowl contenders

The Ravens are very, very good... they are who we thought they are. They were a Super Bowl contender.

The Ravens remained top contenders throughout the season.

The 12-team playoff has officially saved the college football regular season

The 12 team playoff is gonna be great. Anyone who says the regular season won't matter is not seeing the big picture... We saw on Saturday a chaotic, chaotic scene all across the country in games that would not have mattered if it weren't for the 12 team playoff.

The viewership and high-stakes nature of late-season games for teams like Indiana and Ole Miss support this view.

Only Oregon, Ohio State, or Georgia can win the national title this year

I do strongly think that if your name's not Oregon, Ohio State or Georgia, you're not gonna win the whole thing.

Outcome pending playoff results.

Travis Hunter should be a -5000 favorite to win the Heisman

I mean it should be like Travis Hunter minus like 5,000. If everything what PFT said is correct... it's something we've never seen before.

Travis Hunter did win the Heisman, making him a deserving favorite.

The Steelers are officially on 'fraud watch' if they lose to the Bengals

I think the Steelers are on fraud watch for me. I I do. I I mean I I, their defense is very, very good... but this is a game that I, if the Bengals get life back in this, I, I'm putting the Steelers on fraud watch.

The Steelers beat the Bengals and finished the season strong, disproving the 'fraud' label.

The Commanders are not currently a good football team

Right now, if you were to look at the Commanders and say, are they a good football team? I think the answer is no. I, I don't think that they are at all.

The Commanders struggled down the stretch, validating PFT's mid-season concern.

The Bears should fire Matt Eberflus immediately after a Thanksgiving loss

They should fire him after we get embarrassed by the Lions. Because at this point I know the Bears have never fired a coach in a hundred years history in Midseason at this point. You should honestly tell Caleb like, Hey we fucked up with Shane Waldron and Matt Eberflus our bad. We're firing him right now.

The Bears did fire Matt Eberflus mid-season, a few days after the Thanksgiving game.

The Lions are the best team in the NFL in every category

I think the Lions... I think they're the best at everything. I really do. I think that they're, they have maybe the best running attack in the NFC... the Lions are better than the Eagles at almost everything.

The Lions finished the regular season with the best record in the NFC.

Tua Tagovailoa will destroy the cold weather narrative against the Packers

I'm, I'm kind of in on Tua though, being a destroyer of narratives... for whatever reason, the fact that Tua talked about it, I think I'm in, I'm, I think I'm in on the Dolphins winning a game [in Green Bay].

The Dolphins lost to the Packers 30-17 in 25-degree weather; Tua struggled.

Cornerback is the hardest position to play in all of sports

I think cornerback is the hardest position to play in sports... we are taught to lie... we paid to steal. The more we steal, the more rich I am.

Inherently subjective comparison of sports positions.

Sean Taylor was on track to be the greatest safety to ever play

I just always wish I could have seen him play out the career... Ed Reed was like, yeah man. Like he is. So when you got a guy like Ed Reed agreeing with you... he had Ed Reed's ball skills... but he hit like Ronnie Lott. If God's building a safety. His name is Sean Taylor.

Widely held opinion among his peers and analysts, though unprovable due to tragedy.

Bijan Robinson is talented enough to play wide receiver in the NFL

He could legitimately play wide receiver here in the NFL because he can run routes. He has late hands, he tracks the ball well... I just think he's a big asset and you know, and I, I, I kind of wonder what his ceiling is.

Bijan's receiving production supports the idea of his wideout-level traits.
