Baker Mayfield is the best quarterback in the draft

Baker Mayfield. I take Baker Mayfield over any of them. I was the same way with Deshaun Watson last year. ... That dude, he operates as quick as the good NFL quarterbacks when you watch the guys you watch on Sunday.

While Mayfield had a solid career, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson (both in this draft) became perennial MVPs/stars, making Mayfield arguably not the 'best' pick.

Andy Reid is one of the best coaches in the NFL

I actually think Andy Reid's one of the best coaches in the NFL. But how long he's been coaching in the NFL, that this meltdown didn't even register on the Andy Reid meltdown scale.

Reid went on to win three Super Bowls and is considered a future Hall of Famer.

Marcus Mariota is better than Jameis Winston

Marcus Mariota impressed me. That's the guy I believe in. That's the guy who I've, whenever someone says Jameis Winston versus Marcus Mariota, my answer is always Marcus Mariota.

Both players ultimately became backups; Winston had a higher statistical ceiling (5,000 yard season) while Mariota struggled with injuries and benchings.

A 10-2 Kentucky would make the playoff

If Kentucky's 10 and two, they're making the playoffs. So it—there's not really a style point situation that they've gotta worry about. They just have to keep winning.

Kentucky's final record and whether a 10-2 season earns a playoff berth are not yet resolved.

BYU could make the playoff without winning the Big 12

I don't know that BYU has to win the Big 12 now to make the playoff. If you have a 12-and-0 Texas Tech and they beat BYU in the Big 12 championship game and hand them, let's say, their second loss, they're both getting in.

The Big 12 standings, championship result, and playoff selection have not yet been determined.

The 24-team playoff will not kill college football

I do not think this is gonna kill the sport. I don't think it's gonna kill the regular season.

Whether expansion harms the sport and regular-season interest is a long-term evaluative question, not a single objectively settled result.
