There are no superpower teams in college football this year

It feels like this college football season... No one's really that good... There's a lot of really good teams, but no superpower team, which I love.

Michigan went undefeated and won the title, though many games were close, confirming there wasn't a 2019 LSU-level juggernaut until the very end.

Aaron Rodgers is having a better year than Deshaun Watson

There's a chance that Aaron Rodgers is having a better year than Deshaun Watson... Sean Watson is very bad.

Rodgers played four snaps and was out for the season, while Watson finished the season with 7 TDs and 4 INTs in 6 games with a 5-1 record, despite poor efficiency metrics.

The Browns didn't know how good they had it with Baker Mayfield and should have been happy with a serviceable quarterback

They ran [Baker Mayfield] outta town in Cleveland. I've been saying ever since Baker got that raw deal that they, they didn't know what they had when they had Baker. When you're the Browns, you gotta be happy sometimes with having a serviceable quarterback. And they thought that they could go ahead and break the structure of the NFL salary cap and give a sex predator $240 million guaranteed.

Mayfield went on to lead the Buccaneers to a playoff win in 2023 while Watson's tenure remained plagued by injury and poor performance.

Deshaun Watson probably has a burner account on Twitter

He also might have created a burner account after the game... allegedly from Deshaun, I think it was called the Twitter account, was like Gainesville raised or something like that. All the tweets that he had were about Deshaun Watson replying to people... saying not his fault.

While widely suspected by fans, it was never definitively proven that Watson was the user 'GainesvilleRaised'.

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.
