Florida is using the USF game to decide if Anthony Richardson should start over Emory Jones

Anthony Richardson... he's massive. He looks like Cam Newton and he runs like Cam Newton. They have to figure out which of those two gives them the best chance to beat Alabama. I wonder if they were trying to figure out, all right, how well can [Richardson] throw? Because we need to know this and decide before Alabama week starts.

Richardson did play well but Dan Mullen stuck with Emory Jones as the starter for the Alabama game (and most of the season), despite fan clamor for AR15.

I'm not getting off the Graham Mertz train

The Badgers fell on their face. I'm still going to believe in Graham Mertz. I'm not going to get off this train. That sucked, though.

Mertz's career at Wisconsin never lived up to the 'wagon' hype, though he found some success later at Florida.

College football should go back to starting with 'cupcake' games

My only real takeaway is like the first game change that they've made where you have to play conference opponents sucks. I don't like it. I really liked starting the season against like South Florida or UNLV or Akron or someone and putting up like 60 points and not even having to turn my brain on until like the third or fourth week is September. I don't like this. I want the cupcakes back.

This is a purely subjective aesthetic preference for how the season should flow.

I am convinced CJ Stroud will always suck at quarterback and I will not get off this take

I'm convinced, no matter what, that CJ Stroud will always suck at quarterback just because of how poorly he played in the first half... trust me, I will not get off this take. It's burned. It's seared into my brain. He's bad.

CJ Stroud became one of the best QBs in college and a superstar in the NFL with the Texans.

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.
