Clemson is so much better than the ACC that they would make the playoff even with a loss

The ACC is the worst conference ever and yeah, Clemson makes the playoff if they lose, for sure. Clemson's biggest opponent will be boredom because the rest of the ACC sucks. There is nobody in the ACC that can compete with Clemson.

Clemson won the ACC and made the playoff, so the 'loss' scenario never occurred, but the dominance was real.

Mitch Trubisky plays completely differently when he has confidence

I'm going to say about here and now when [Trubisky]'s playing with confidence, different guy. Even his interception was good because he pinned them at the one. His confidence, his decision-making, Matt Nagy's play-calling has been phenomenal in the last two games.

While Trubisky had a great game here, his lack of consistency and overall career trajectory suggest that confidence alone wasn't enough to sustain high-level play.

The Bears now have a 75% chance of making the playoffs

I must say the Bears now have a 75% chance of making the playoffs. [PFT: That's right].

The Bears finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

Lamar Jackson will be the NFL MVP and Joe Burrow will win the Heisman

Lamar Jackson is probably going to be the MVP right? Joe Burrow is likely going to be the Heisman. This I think will be the first year that the Heisman winner would be older than the NFL MVP.

Lamar Jackson won the 2019 MVP and Joe Burrow won the 2019 Heisman. At the time of the awards, Burrow was 23 and Lamar was 22.

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.
