Brian Harsin will not be the coach at Auburn in 2023

Clearly he will not be the coach at Auburn in 2023. The, the problem for Harsin... his first year at Auburn, they looked at his recruiting and they're like, Did you go after anybody that Nick Saban and Kirby Smart wanted? ... And the answer was no.

Harsin was fired on October 31, 2022, just 12 days after this episode aired.

I enjoy watching the Broncos on primetime because the brand of bad football is a fascinating story every time

I actually, I'm gonna say this and I know this, people will be like, 'Oh, you're just saying this to be opposite,' I enjoy having the Broncos on primetime football because every time it's a story. It's bad football but you see something new every time and it's a weird story. It became so hilariously bad that it's interesting. There's something about a Broncos primetime game that it's fascinating to watch because it's just a car crash for 60 minutes plus.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value. The 2022 Broncos did remain a fascinatngly bad story for most of the season.

Russell Wilson is a mentally broken man

I think yes, there is [something wrong with Russell Wilson]. I think mentally he's a broken man.

While subjective, Wilson's tenure in Denver was statistically the worst of his career and he was eventually benched and released, supporting the idea of a major breakdown in his play.

Nathaniel Hackett may be a good offensive coordinator, but he is clearly not prepared to be an NFL head coach

Nathaniel Hackett might be an offensive guru... but you also have to be like, 'Wait, this is something that you're just not prepared for at all.' Just because you're a good offensive coordinator doesn't mean you know how to do all this stuff [like picking up blitzes and making adjustments].

Hackett was fired before completing his first season (the first such firing in Broncos history), which strongly validates the 'not prepared' take.

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.
