James Madison is a better team than Notre Dame

Does that mean that JMU is better than Notre Dame? I have no choice but to say yes. It does mean that because we would be in, Notre Dame would be out.

This is inherently subjective, but JMU being ranked #25 as a Group of Five team vs Notre Dame is a massive talent gap. The committee would never genuinely rank JMU ahead on merit alone.

The College Football Playoff will eventually expand to 16 teams

We knew it was gonna be chaotic and weird for the first couple of years of this. I think it eventually will get to 16 and then people will stop bitching as much because you're getting closer and closer to where the natural rankings are.

The playoff has already expanded from 4 to 12. 16 is the logical next step for revenue and to include more at-large teams.

Group of Five teams like James Madison, Tulane, and North Texas have zero chance of winning the national title

If you said to me right now, does James Madison, Tulane or North Texas have a chance of winning it all? I'd say no. Does Texas or Vanderbilt? I'd say maybe.

While subjective, historical precedent strongly supports the idea that G5 teams cannot win a national title in the modern era.

The Steelers have become a retirement home for players

The Steelers did sign Adam Thielen today, who is a 2018 pro bowler... Mike Tomlin has gotten to the point where you can just perfectly troll him and predict everything he does. And the Steelers are just become a retirement home for players. It's crazy.

Subjective assessment of team management and roster age.

The Bills could have three or four Super Bowls without kickers

You can make the argument that the Buffalo Bills would have like three or four Super Bowls if kickers weren't a thing in football. You can make the argument that the Patriots might not have had the start of that dynasty if it wasn't for kickers.

The claim is a counterfactual and cannot be definitively verified.

Jalen Hurts will answer the Titans by beating them as a passer

I actually think Jalen Hurts is good enough as a quarterback that when somebody dares him to do that, he could say, 'Fuck you, I will beat you as a quarterback.' And then stay in the pocket and throw for like 300 yards and three touchdowns.

Hurts' passing production against Tennessee will determine this prediction.

The Jaguars would be the second-best team in football if they win in Denver

If they win this game in Denver, I would put them maybe second in the power rankings behind the Jets.

The Jaguars' win and their resulting standing in PFT's power rankings are the relevant conditions; the ranking itself is subjective.
