Notre Dame is in the best possible playoff position by being independent

Somehow some way Notre Dame with the way the college football playoff is set up... they're gonna get the five seed. And what that means at the five seed is they get a home game against probably a group of five team at the 12 seed. And then their next game will be against the four seed who will almost always assuredly be an ACC or a Big 12 team. So they will essentially always avoid the Big 10 and SEC until the Final Four.

Notre Dame got the 7 seed (close to the 5 seed prediction) and hosted Indiana (the 10 seed) at home, winning 27-17. They then advanced all the way to the National Championship game. Big Cat was correct that Notre Dame's independent status positioned them well for the expanded playoff.

Florida State still controls their own destiny despite the Week 0 loss

Florida State has controls their own destiny now. Whereas last year they won all their games and didn't control their own destiny. So they actually control their own destiny even though they lost the first game. So they're not out of it.

While technically true that they weren't mathematically eliminated, FSU finished 1-11, proving they had no destiny to control.

Mike White could win a game for the Jets against anyone off the bench

Mike White could win you a game on the New York Jets. I don't care who he's playing against, I don't care. He could come off the bench in the first quarter and Mike White has that ability to just somehow throw for three touchdowns for the Jets.

Mike White was not on the Jets roster in 2024 and did not play a game for them.

I might bet the Chargers to win the Super Bowl because Jim Harbaugh makes players harder to break

I might put a little something on the Chargers just because not to win the AFC West, but to maybe just win the Super Bowl because Harbaugh, the guy just does things like this... Friday was a key step in the team getting good at making yourself harder to break.

The Chargers had a good season but did not win the Super Bowl.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Big Cat predicted that LeBron James would announce his free agency decision at 9:00 PM on July 20, 2026. However, reports from July 20 and July 21, 2026, indicated that James had not yet made his decision, and his agent stated on July 21 that he did not know when the announcement would occur.
