LSU will win the National Championship

I picked LSU to win the national title. So I I'm with you on that. I picked 'em to win the SEC too. And it's, it's kind of along with what you just said, like they're, the way that they work, it's like when you don't expect them to be anything is when they're gonna jump up and have a great year.

LSU did not win the national championship. Indiana won the CFP title.

I bet Caleb Williams went back to painting his nails to get back to the basics

Caleb Williams is my one to watch. There was an article that came out in ESPN today about why he stopped painting his nails last season and the fact that he is back to painting his nails now. He needs to get back to basics. It's like the peacock—the basics here are painting your nails.

This is a subjective lifestyle observation about a player's routine and its impact on his game.

Keegan Bradley not picking himself for the Ryder Cup is better for the team

Keegan wanted to pick himself, but he's taking, it's, it's, it was the right move, I guess to not pick himself for the team. It's better for the team and everyone can kind of rally around... you gotta win one for the captain.

Subjective take on team chemistry and leadership.

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.

Penn State did not win the national championship. Franklin was fired mid-season. Indiana won the title.

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.
