The ability for players to transfer freely makes college basketball much better

I love the fact that everyone's able to transfer right now. I think it makes the whole league better, or the whole college basketball better, because I'd rather see the talent spread out, and I'd also rather see players that want to compete for a job and be a starter.

The impact of the transfer portal on the quality of the game is a matter of ongoing debate among fans and analysts.

No one in the world was beating Baylor in the National Championship game

No one in the world was beating Baylor on Monday night. And I think that we spent all year talking about how great Gonzaga was, rightfully so, because they were undefeated. But the real debate now is, is Baylor an all-time great team? Because they destroyed everyone in the tournament.

Baylor won 86-70 in a game that was rarely close, validating this take.

Baylor is already in the conversation for the best college basketball champion of the last 30 years

Baylor is already in the conversation for best champion in the last 30 years. [They] destroyed everyone in the tournament. The only team that covered against Baylor was the University of Hartford.

Baylor's 2021 run is statistically one of the most dominant in modern history, making this a widely held opinion in retrospect.

Gonzaga should absolutely play in a real conference

Well, you should play in a real conference. You should absolutely play in a real conference. Yes, I'm going to say that with my chest. And yeah, a lot of it has to do with the fact that there aren't a ton of Gonzaga fans out there. It's not like we're talking shit about the Steelers... With Gonzaga, it's like free play. Consequence free zone.

This is a subjective debate about conference strength, though Gonzaga moved to the Pac-12 in 2024, showing they eventually agreed they needed a change.

The Lions will win the NFC North

I think they're gonna be really good. Are the Lions on Crosby watch? ... I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. ... I think they probably will win the NFC North.

The 2026 NFC North winner will determine whether this prediction was correct.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South

I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.

The Jaguars' season and Trevor Lawrence's 2026 performance will determine the prediction.
