Nick Saban appearing on the championship telecast while LSU won was a weird move

I don't think I would do it soon as LSU is there I think I'm like, you know what I'm gonna sit this one out... why don't I mean to have your arrival win in you're doing the I don't know. I don't think I would do it. So Saban became a meme I think for a minute.

Saban's discomfort on the ESPN 'Film Room' set while LSU dominated was widely mocked on social media at the time.

LSU is in the conversation for the best college football team of all time

Doubting them was the... I mean they are in the conversation for best college football team of all time. They beat five out of the top eight teams. They destroyed everyone. They had the best resume of any college football team to ever exist.

The 2019 LSU team is widely considered one of, if not the greatest, college football teams ever due to their undefeated record and strength of schedule.

I would have been a more effective offensive coordinator for LSU early in the national title game

In the first quarter when they were getting there were losing the field position battle you're getting pinned... I was yelling. I was screaming at the field because I was like, you need to have a running back in the backfield at least pretend like you're going to run the ball. I was questioned the play calls there... I talked to a lot of shit about [Joe Brady's] play calling. I thought it was bad on the first couple drives.

LSU went on to win comfortably and Joe Brady's offense exploded, making the early criticisms look foolish in hindsight, which PFT admits.

Urban Meyer failing to start Joe Burrow is a stain on his legacy as a talent evaluator

I think it's time to have the conversation whether or not Urban Meyer if it's a stain on his legacy that he did not start Joe Burrow. Is he a bad Talent evaluator? We as a nation need to have that conversation.

While subjective, it is a factual point of debate that Meyer let a Heisman winner and #1 overall pick leave his building.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
