Ohio State is being written off as a bad team prematurely after the Michigan loss

I think that there's been a large overreaction to Ohio State losing to Michigan. I think that Ohio State suddenly sucks in the mind of a lot of people because they lost to Michigan two years in a row. ... I think the Buckeyes are still very good. They could win this game [against Georgia].

Ohio State lost 42-41 to Georgia in a game that came down to a missed field goal, proving they were indeed very competitive.

Zach Wilson is completely lost mentally and is likely irredeemable

Zach Wilson is so bad. ... he can't, I don't think he, he's redeemable at this point because you've now benched him twice for two different quarterbacks. ... I think Zach Wilson is completely lost. ... he's, he's completely lost mentally.

Wilson was benched for Chris Streveler in this game and later lost the starting job permanently as the Jets traded for Aaron Rodgers.

The Jaguars are going to the playoffs

The Jaguars are going to the playoffs, like, I'm gonna say it right now, the Jaguars are going to the playoffs because they just went and they beat the Cowboys and the Jets back to back weeks... I think the Jaguars are going to the playoffs.

The Jaguars won the AFC South in Week 18 to make the playoffs.

I could have made some of the throws Zach Wilson missed against the Jaguars

I was watching the fucking game and looking at concepts that I ran in high school that he was reading wrong. I'm serious. And I like my arm talent. It's not fucking pro arm talent, but I could have made some throws and just get it to guy to make play.

Billy is a former high school quarterback; comparing himself to an active NFL starter is inherently hyperbolic and subjective.

Curt 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.

This depends on Penn State firing James Franklin and offering the job to Cignetti, and Cignetti accepting. James Franklin remained at Penn State through the 2025 cycle.

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.

Texas A&M did not run the table, losing key late-season matchups.

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.

Subjective evaluation of talent, but Manning's subsequent performances were inconsistent.
