Texas will make the College Football Playoff within the next five years

Give me one or two teams that hasn't been there [the CFP] that you could see realistically being there in the next five years... Texas... I believe in them.

Texas made the College Football Playoff in the 2023 season (January 2024), which is exactly within the 5-year window predicted in January 2020.

Kirk Cousins was not the main reason the Vikings lost to the 49ers

I'm not going to sit here and do the lazy Kirk Cousins stinks, he can never win a big game. He wasn't good, but his offensive line was worse, and I'm not going to put all the blame on Kirk Cousins. To me, this game was way more about the Niners' defense than Kirk Cousins screwing up royally.

While subjective, the 49ers defense did record 6 sacks and held the Vikings to 147 total yards, supporting the claim that the O-line/Defense matchup was the primary factor.

The divisional round exit is the ceiling for the current Minnesota Vikings

This is their ceiling. And it's a pretty good ceiling. I mean, you made the divisional round of the playoffs. You won a road playoff game in New Orleans... You should be happy with this, kind of. Eventually they're going to get exactly where they are every single time with Kirk Cousins.

The Vikings didn't win another playoff game with Kirk Cousins before he left in 2024, confirming this was indeed their peak.

The Ravens panicked against the Titans and abandoned their identity

Holy shit, was that a fucking inexcusable loss at home where they just looked terrible. And I know Lamar Jackson had a million yards. But I actually don't blame it all on him because it felt like the Ravens... they panicked when they went down, and how many times are they going to run empty backfield when all season long they were fucking everyone up? That's the stupidest thing you could ever do.

Lamar Jackson threw 59 passes (a career high at that point) and the team's RBs only had 9 carries, a massive departure from their #1 ranked rushing offense.

Miami should be ranked ahead of Notre Dame because they won the head-to-head matchup

I look at what matters on the field. They... actually played. Miami led the whole game. They won. I don't understand [them being ranked lower]. Miami should be ahead of Notre Dame.

This is an opinion on committee logic and ranking principles.

Texas Tech can win the National Championship because of their defense

I am in the belief that Texas Tech can do it with that defense... Texas Tech is a 'yes' for me [to win a national title] because of that defense. They're going to be stretched where they haven't been stretched before.

Texas Tech did not win the national championship. Indiana defeated Miami 27-21.

Mississippi State will beat Baylor because Hubbard can shoot over the zone

I'll stick with the SEC. I'm gonna go Mississippi State. [Hubbard] leads, I think he shoots nine over nine. Threes a game and [Baylor] plays zone over 20% of the time and Hubbard will just shoot over it.

Baylor defeated Mississippi State 75-72 in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
