Neither Penn State nor Wisconsin will make the College Football Playoff

No, neither team is going to get in [to the Final Four]. And the committee, let me tell you how this works... they wouldn't have put Michigan at number five if they really were anticipating putting the winner of this game in.

Correct. Penn State won the Big Ten but was ranked #5, missing the playoff. Wisconsin also missed.

Clemson is the only team with the speed to match up with Alabama

The team, when Ohio State beat Alabama a couple years ago... athletically they had the players to match up with Alabama. And I think right now that Clemson fits in that same mold. The only team that I don't like against Alabama really is Washington. I just don't think that they got the overall team speed to run with Alabama.

Clemson defeated Alabama in the title game, proving they could match up athletically, while Washington lost handily to Alabama in the semifinal.

You have to give a college coach four years to build a program

I really think you've got to give a guy four years. Because when you go into a job... there's commitments. And so you honor those kids. And they may not fit in offense, defense, scheme-wise to what you're going to do.

This is a subjective philosophy on athletic department management.

LSU will win the College Football National Championship

On Saturday and the rest of the weekend, I picked LSU to win everything... My final team, and the winner is LSU. I think LSU wins it. You talk about, and you know, everyone's on Alabama. I'm not against Alabama, but if you look at LSU's recruiting classes... these guys are five, six, seven, eight. I mean, there's really, you know, there's not that much difference.

LSU went 8-4 in 2016 and Les Miles was fired mid-season. Clemson won the national title.

Ohio State will be a playoff team because they remind me of the 1986 Hurricanes

I like Ohio State. They remind me a lot of our 86th University of Miami team, Hurricanes. We had 12 players drafted. Ohio State had 12 players drafted. Everyone thought that we were gloom, doomed the next year, and we came back in 87 and won the national championship.

Ohio State did make the 2016 College Football Playoff, though they were shut out 31-0 by Clemson in the semifinal.

LeSean McCoy will have a massive bounce-back year in fantasy football

Take LeSean McCoy and your fantasy team. He was a mess last year. Philly was his home, right? He had all his boys there. Now he goes to Buffalo. I mean, I talked to him several times. I think he's got a new attitude. It's beyond him. Chip Kelly's gone. You know, everything's have changed. I look for him to have a big year.

McCoy had a fantastic 2016 season, rushing for 1,267 yards and 13 TDs (5.4 YPC), firmly bouncing back from a down 2015.
