CJ Carr will be a top-five draft pick

CJ Carr's a stud. I think that this dude's gonna be a top five pick in the next couple years. So if you do take away the run now you gotta deal with the pass. That's something they didn't have to do last week.

Indiana is a legitimate threat to make the College Football Playoff at 11-1

[Indiana] guys... they, they might make the college football playoff dude. Their schedule's awesome. They'll be 11 and one. And if they lose to [Ohio State] in the Big 10... whatever it is, they, it's like, it's like what SMU was able to do last year.

Alabama should get into the CFP even if they lose to Georgia

If you're asking me do I think Alabama gets the fourth spot [if they lose to Georgia], I think absolutely they will be in based on kind of what the committee is doing... it would be hard to believe that they would fall more than three spots out of the top four if they lost.

Josh Rosen is a more refined and natural thrower than Sam Darnold

I think you look at Josh Rosen. Rosen is really refined. He's a great thrower. He's got a great arm, but he's a natural thrower. Sam [Darnold] is a little more funky, a little more unrefined, but a different type of player.

The 'beer bong' photo in Arizona was harmless and unfairly maligned, but it might have changed the path of my NFL career

Harmless. I'm 22 in my house in my backyard. Completely harmless. ... And probably changed the path of my career, which is crazy. ... With Ken Whisenhunt and just how it was portrayed because I just thought I was like—first of all, I should have had a rager if that was going to happen.

Alabama only made the College Football Playoff because of their name, not because they are better than Ohio State

I don't think Alabama is unequivocally better than Ohio State. I just haven't seen that from Alabama this year. I think they're great, but I think they're in because of who they are. And I think winning a conference championship at some point should matter.
