Alabama will win the National Championship
My heart wants to say Oklahoma, but my head says Alabama, just because, like I've said, I think Alabama's the best team in the country... I just don't think anybody's beating Alabama this year... I think they're going to finish as national title champions once again.

View episodeThe NFL playing games on Christmas Day was bullshit
I think it was actually bullshit that the NFL played on Christmas Day. No, that's an NBA day. It felt so weird. The Steelers and Texans game, that felt like the first Saturday wild card game that no one really wanted to watch. I just felt like it was a little too much. They should have just kept it to Saturday and Sunday.
The 49ers will be everyone's trendy playoff pick for next season
The 49ers are going to be our Regis Philbin team next year. The Regis Philbin Dark Horse of the Year, where Regis even picks a team as the Dark Horse, that means they're no longer a Dark Horse. Every single person in the world is going to pick the 49ers to go to the playoffs next year.
The Titans should not be allowed to make the playoffs because they are boring
I think as a country we need to have a vote and make it so the Titans cannot make the playoffs. Fuck the Titans. I don't want to see the Titans in the playoffs. No one wants to see the Titans. Just think about this. Would you rather see the boring-ass, shitty-ass Titans losing the first round or Bills fans go crazy because they clinched their first playoff berth in like a billion years.

View profileCurt Cignetti would leave Indiana for the Penn State head coaching job
I think Penn State is one of the jobs [Curt Cignetti] would definitely leave Indiana for. I think there are a lot of jobs that have come open or or likely to come open that he's been mentioned for that I don't really see as upgrades over Indiana. ... I feel like if you're gonna replace James Franklin, you'd need to find your own Dan Lanning kind of hire.
Texas A&M is the most surprising SEC team that could run the table the rest of the season
I would say Texas A&M. I do think that they're legitimately good. ... They've kind of figured things out and gotten their act together the last few weeks. ... I'm not saying that they will, I'm just saying they strike me as a team that is much better than anybody truly expected.
Arch Manning looks like an unpolished freshman and is not ready for the SEC
I thought like the last few years sitting on the bench developing behind Quinn Ewers is like we were gonna see a much more polished player than what we have seen to this point. He just looks like a freshman even though he is now in his third year on campus. So I think that is very alarming.
