Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are likely to break up after this season

My Hot Seat is Mike Tomlin and the Steelers. Because I actually think that he might, this might be it... they don't change anything. And it's, I mean, TJ Watt said it. I think the bills ran the same play 27 times on Sunday. Yeah. That's insane. It feels like this is finally [the end].

Tomlin signed an extension through 2027 in the real world, but the sentiment of the 'break up' is a recurring narrative every time the Steelers struggle.

James Madison is a better team than Notre Dame

Does that mean that JMU is better than Notre Dame? I have no choice but to say yes. It does mean that because we would be in, Notre Dame would be out.

This is inherently subjective, but JMU being ranked #25 as a Group of Five team vs Notre Dame is a massive talent gap. The committee would never genuinely rank JMU ahead on merit alone.

The College Football Playoff will eventually expand to 16 teams

We knew it was gonna be chaotic and weird for the first couple of years of this. I think it eventually will get to 16 and then people will stop bitching as much because you're getting closer and closer to where the natural rankings are.

The playoff has already expanded from 4 to 12. 16 is the logical next step for revenue and to include more at-large teams.

Group of Five teams like James Madison, Tulane, and North Texas have zero chance of winning the national title

If you said to me right now, does James Madison, Tulane or North Texas have a chance of winning it all? I'd say no. Does Texas or Vanderbilt? I'd say maybe.

While subjective, historical precedent strongly supports the idea that G5 teams cannot win a national title in the modern era.

College basketball has five absolutely dominant teams this year

We have five, you could even maybe go to six, just absolutely dominant teams. Michigan, UConn, Duke, Arizona, and Florida that are playing at such an insane level.

The dominance of these teams will be tested in the upcoming NCAA tournament in March 2026.

Florida can win the national championship because they can shoot threes now

Florida though, I've been talking about Florida for three weeks. They could shoot threes now. They absolutely kicked [Arkansas's]... They just throttle teams. All four of [Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Florida] would be the best team in the previous five years.

Whether Florida wins the title or performs as an elite team will be decided by the end of March Madness.

Miami of Ohio will make the tournament even if they lose in the conference tournament

I'm saying right now, winning every... If they go undefeated in the conference, that is so hard to do. I think if they go undefeated in the conference and then lose in the conference tournament, I think they will be in.

This will be resolved on Selection Sunday, March 15th, 2026.
