Michigan definitely cheated in the Connor Stallions scandal, but everyone else in college football probably cheated too

I love Connor Stallions... he's essentially just every fan ever who's like, I'll do anything for my team to win... But yeah, I mean they definitely cheated. I think everyone cheated, but they definitely did too.

The NCAA investigation confirmed advanced scouting violations occurred at Michigan, though the 'everyone cheated' part is subjective.

Notre Dame is already a lock for the College Football Playoff

Notre Dame won a game that was the biggest win of the weekend. Probably If you look at their schedule, they don't have a ton of tough tests after this. They're in the driver's seat... I'm fine with saying right now they're in the playoff.

Notre Dame finished the regular season 11-1 and secured a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff.

Brian Kelly is not built for the SEC and does not belong in the conference

I'm gonna stand on that take. That's my official take on Brian Kelly. You could put this on a quote card. He ain't supposed to be SEC. No, he's [Jerry DiNardo]... hired him and it was like, dude, what are you doing here? You don't know our culture.

Kelly has continued to struggle in high-stakes SEC openers and big games, reinforcing the perception of a mismatch.

I am not spending 12 hours of my Saturday watching mediocre college football

I'm not locking in my entire 12 hours of a day on Saturday, the only day we're not in the office, to to watch a random ass week one game when there's only like three good ones... Your happiness comes from watching 12 hours of football and watching State Pittsburgh. Your happiness is from golfing. You should do what makes you happy.

This is a personal preference that cannot be objectively proven true or false.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
