All Takes
Lane Kiffin will leave LSU for an NFL job in four years
He's gonna leave for the Dolphins job or the Bills job. He's gonna leave an NFL job in four years... he's proven he could do it in the SEC... but he's just a guy doing a job.
Alabama, Ole Miss, and Miami are not good enough to win the National Championship
I don't think Alabama is... Ole Miss is not good enough to win at all... Miami not good enough to win at all.
Texas A&M is a fraudulent team
Texas a and m has the classic look of a fraudulent team... Their first seven SEC games where they started seven and oh, they played teams ranked nine through 16 in the sec. The second they played somebody in the Top half league, Texas stumped them. This looks like a team that feels like a fraud.
Michigan is a poorly coached team and Sherrone Moore is a mistake
They are a poorly coached football team in for 2025... they just, they, they're going to a gunfight with a, with a knife. They just can't do it. And Sherrone Moore is, they're wasting their time with Sherrone Moore as the head coach.
Dabo Swinney would be an incredible fit at Florida if he embraces the portal and NIL
If you're Florida... and you say, Dabo, I'm willing to give you this job if you embrace the transfer portal, if you change what you're doing... I think he would be an incredible fit at somewhere like Florida. If he just tweaked his recipe to cook with the ingredients that modern College Football has, I think he can be that coach again.
LSU has the wrong head coach in Brian Kelly
LSU should panic. LSU's got the wrong coach. They've had the wrong coach the whole time... Brian Kelly does not fit LSU football... as soon as he loses the seventh [game], the fan base is gonna turn on him again 'cause they don't like him. And I don't think he likes them.
Penn State should stay the course with James Franklin despite big-game losses
I think Penn State is absolutely on the should stay on the same course. Nothing has fallen off... Everything about the first three quarters told me James Franklin can't do it, and then the fourth quarter happened. I think they played well enough in the fourth quarter to convince themselves that they can break through.
The top of the Big 10 is currently better than any team in the SEC
I think there's three teams in the Big 10 better than any team in the SEC right now. I think it's Penn State, Oregon, Ohio State. And I think the SEC as far as the top end elite Playoff contenders is down a step from where it was.
Oklahoma is being ranked far too high at #5 in the AP Poll
Oklahoma, technically right now, they have a win over Auburn. They have a win over Michigan. I don't think either of those teams are any good. Oklahoma's number five in the country. I think that's poppycock. They should be like number 12.
Texas Tech is easily the best team in the Big 12 right now
I think they're clearly the best team in the Big 12... I think Texas Tech outclass them, everybody in that conference by a mile.
Penn State will win the National Championship
I have picked Penn State to win the national title... I think it's the most complete team. I think the quarterback is fantastic and I think it doesn't matter that the coach has never broken through it never. It only matters if he can do it. I believe he can do it.
Oregon will disappoint and could finish 8-4 or 9-3 due to a sneaky tough schedule
I think this is the team that people are just assuming is gonna be top 10 because of their recruiting profile... but they're kind of starting over. There's a lot of new guys here. I think and the schedule is sneaky tough. That last game at Washington. Oregon, you can fuck around and look up and they're like 9-3 or 8-4 and wouldn't be shocked.
Nebraska will make the 12-team College Football Playoff
I released my, my playoff 12 and I got Nebraska in it. I think Nebraska is this year's Indiana in the fact that they will be better as a football team than they they have been and their schedule is fantastic.
Kalen DeBoer is not built for the SEC and will fail at Alabama
For whatever reason the coach doesn't fit Alabama... it takes a different kind of human to win in the SEC... I don't think Kalen DeBoer fits Alabama. Alabama fan base and the Alabama pressure is different and it fucks people up. And it fucked him up last year. I think it's gonna fuck him up again. He's not built for this shit.
South Carolina is the biggest fraud in the SEC
I don't really believe in Florida and I don't believe in South Carolina to the level of the pe I think South Carolina is the biggest fraud in the SEC.
The Rose Bowl is overrated and holds back the progress of college football
The Rose Bowl is not that special. It is also absolutely in love with itself and thinks it's bigger than the sport. The Rose Bowl needs to be taken down a peg. It holds up college football progress. It stands in the way.
Penn State will beat Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal
I have Penn State winning this game because I think Penn State and Notre Dame are very, very, very similar... I think Penn State's a little bit better version of the team they're going for... great defense, better quarterback... I don't think Drew Aller is gonna make the mistakes the backup quarterback [for Georgia] made.
Ohio State will beat Texas by two touchdowns in the semifinal if they stay aggressive
If Ryan Day and Chip Kelly don't hold this team back, if they call plays the same way they've been calling plays, I think they win about two touchdowns... I don't know how you stop 'em.
Ohio State will beat Penn State to win the national championship
I think Ohio State beats Penn State in the national championship. Ryan Day gets rid of his problems... they are unequivocally the most talented and the best team in this playoff.
Alabama is now closer to a normal SEC team than they have ever been
Alabama... are way closer to a normal SEC team than they've ever been. And nothing is happening to make me think that's gonna change. Milroe is not good enough... they've been normal forever at receiver. They are normal.
Ohio State settling for Will Howard over Cam Ward was a massive failure
They went to the Mercedes dealership this year and got a safety. They went to the Mercedes dealership and they got a running back and they went to Dollar General and got a quarterback. I have no idea why they did that. When Miami's going out and getting Cam Ward and everybody else is doing this and they settle for Will Howard.
The super conferences are a mistake because they allow for massive schedule disparity
The super conferences are probably a mistake. The super conferences this year have allowed teams... [to] allow schedule disparity that we didn't have before. And the schedule disparity allows Ohio State to play every other team in the top five of the Big 10 and Indiana to play none of them.
Lane Kiffin is embarrassing himself by whining about the schedule after losing to Kentucky
He is embarrassing himself as he has most of the the, the season... Lane Kiffin is the Ole Miss coach should be saying, we want to go the SEC championship game... And now he's doing this whining about schedule and he is whining about strength of schedule... While all he had to do was beat Kentucky a four and eight team who won one SEC game.
Notre Dame is built to beat elite teams but cannot win three or four in a row to win a title
I think they are built to beat an Oregon, to beat an Ohio State, to maybe beat a Texas, I don't think they can beat three of those in a row. Or maybe two out of three. I just don't think they're going to be able to put together enough of a passing game... I don't think they have enough consistent offense to win three games in a row.
College football is better off with a 12-team playoff and it doesn't diminish the regular season
I think this day is a long time coming for college football. Anybody that says college football is worse off for the playoff is lying or just grifting... it doesn't diminish the regular season at all. It makes us have way more games that matter in November.
Florida State is just an average football team, not a playoff contender
That team that we saw play on Saturday [Florida State] is not a playoff team in a 14-format, a 12-team format, a 30-team format. That's an average football team we saw.
Utah will lose its toughness advantage moving from the Pac-12 to the Big 12
Utah's main advantage in the Pac-12 was physicality... they could bully those teams. Now most of the Big 12, you probably can do that too, but you ain't doing that to Kansas State... Oklahoma State. That toughness advantage is gone now.
Half the fanbases in the SEC are delusional about their playoff chances this year
There's eight fan bases in the SEC that think they're going to [the] playoff this year... of those two [Ole Miss and Missouri]... [Missouri is] an eight and four team... Texas A&M, that's delusional.
The Florida Gators have a better roster than head coach Billy Napier is capable of coaching
I think Napier is a bad coach. But I think he's built a pretty good roster. I think the roster is better than the coach. I think they can win... seven games.
Ole Miss is a morally bankrupt university
So DK, big fan—you played at morally bankrupt Ole Miss in college. Can you speak to the fact, can you make a comment on the fact that you guys had a losing record to arch-rival Mississippi State while you were over there?
