Georgia is becoming the new Alabama

I think Georgia is becoming the new Alabama. And I actually filmed a video where I say, I think Georgia's going to win the SEC this year. Because I think Georgia, by the end of this season, they have to replace so many guys that you know. But the thing is... the guys they have coming in might eventually be better.

While Alabama won the SEC in 2018, Staples' long-term vision of Georgia becoming the dominant power of the sport came true.

Stephon Diggs is going to be very good this year

Stephon Diggs is going to be good. You can't go wrong. Demarius [Thomas] is going to split him with Thielen, so go with [Diggs].

Diggs had 1,021 yards and 9 TDs in 2018, finishing as a top WR.

Case Keenum will throw a shitload of touchdown passes to Demaryius Thomas this season

I would take Demarius. Yeah, take Demarius. In case Keenum's going to throw him a shitload of touchdown passes.

Keenum struggled in Denver with only 18 TDs to 15 INTs, and Thomas was traded to the Texans mid-season after catching only 3 TDs for the Broncos.

I like Kenyon Drake a lot for the 2018 season

I like Kenyon Drake a lot this year. I like Alex Collins. Take Kenyon.

Drake had a decent 2018 with over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and 9 total touchdowns, but he didn't quite reach 'league winner' status and was famously traded the following season.

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.
