The Pac-12 will finally be worth watching and exciting this season

In all seriousness, the Pac-12 will be worth watching... This is the first season in a long time, going into the season, I'm actually excited to watch Pac-12 basketball in a very long time.

The entertainment value of the conference is subjective, though the Pac-12 did go on to have a historic 2021 NCAA tournament run (three Elite Eight teams).

Tom Brady cannot play well in games that start after 8 p.m.

I'm starting to believe the theory that Tom Brady cannot play after 8 p.m. at night. [PFT: I really do think this is true.] And as the game goes on, he gets worse. That interception that he threw in the third quarter... looked like Jameis Winston interceptions.

Brady did struggle in several prime-time games in 2020 (Saints, Rams), though he eventually won the Super Bowl.

The Buccaneers are a team full of names rather than a cohesive football team

It feels like they have a team full of names and not a football team. You know what I mean? They have some great players, but as a cohesive football team, sometimes it's looked bad against really good opponents.

The Bucs eventually proved this wrong by winning the Super Bowl as a very cohesive unit.

The Rams are a Super Bowl winning threat because of their matchup advantages

I've been talking about the Rams being a team that I put a future on them to win the Super Bowl like three weeks ago. I think they are a matchup problem for a lot of teams.

The Rams lost in the Divisional Round to the Packers in 2020.

North Carolina's inclusion in the tournament is the most egregious committee decision ever

I thought North Carolina, at no point in the season did they look like an NCAA tournament team. They, they, yeah. They, their, their, their highs weren't very high. Their lows were pretty damn low. And I was, I was stunned. I was, in all the years of, you know, that's how the bracket works. It comes out, we, we lose our minds about teams that got in that didn't deserve it. We, we feel bad for the teams that were left out. This is the most egregious example that I've ever seen.

Whether UNC 'deserved' to be in is subjective, but Titus's claim that they didn't look like a tournament team is a strong opinion on their 2024-25 performance.

The 2025 National Champion will be a 1 or 2 seed

I think the national champion is in that group [of 11 teams meeting KenPom criteria]... I have a really good feeling that it was gonna be a one or a two. 'Cause if you watched all season, it just felt like these teams are just way better than everybody else. I feel that way this year for the first time since 2015. I have that same feeling again.

Florida, the #1 seed, won the 2025 NCAA Championship. In fact, all four #1 seeds made the Final Four, only the second time that has happened.

The 2025 NCAA Tournament will be very 'chalky' with high seeds dominating

I think this is the year of chalk... I have a really good feeling that it was gonna be a one or a two. Because if you watched all season, it just felt like these teams are just way better than everybody else... I'm very, very confident that your national champion will be a one or two.

The 2025 tournament was historically chalky. All four 1-seeds (Florida, Duke, Auburn, Houston) made the Final Four for only the second time in expanded tournament history. The national champion Florida was a 1-seed, confirming the prediction of a 1 or 2 seed winning it all.
