LSU is Andy's projected No. 1 playoff seed

LSU looked like one of the best teams in the country. I'd let that projected playoff again—because I'm taking the preseason stuff out of it—I put them as the one seed. Now are they gonna stay there? Probably not. But why not? Let's ride, let's ride the expectations.

LSU's 2026 playoff seeding and championship path remain unresolved.

Ohio State moved senior night because it is scared of Michigan

If you're saying, 'Hey, we can't do it for the Michigan game because it's something that's just totally different and separate unto itself,' do it the last home game before that, which would be Northwestern. But that senior night though should be—you'd basically just be saying, 'I'm scared of doing it against Michigan.'

This is an interpretation of Ohio State's motivation and cannot be definitively verified.

LSU can win the national championship

With the way that Sam Leavitt played, you have to imagine they are definitely a team that can win the national championship.

The 2026 national champion has not been determined.

Traditions should stop when a team is getting blown out

I'm at the point now where I think the Badgers have to stop Jump Around until we start winning games. Because when you jump around and you're down 20, it's not fun. That's not a fun thing to do. You just need to have time and place with some of these things.

This is a subjective opinion about when a stadium tradition is appropriate.

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.
