The 2024 college football season is on pace to be as chaotic as the legendary 2007 season

The chaos and the fact that we don't know who's good in college football right now... It reminds me of that 2007 season... We're on pace for that right now. It's probably not going to last to the same extent that 2007 did, but the upsets are incredible.

The 2024 season remained highly volatile with the 12-team playoff, though 2007 remains the benchmark for pure number-one-seed carnage.

Aaron Rodgers is a serial coach killer

[Aaron Rodgers] is a serial coach killer. Mike McCarthy and [Robert Saleh]. If you kill two people, you're a serial killer.

Rodgers has seen McCarthy (Green Bay) and Saleh (Jets) fired during his tenure, lending some weight to the 'coach killer' label.

The Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich will succeed because he is a wrestler

Jeff Ulbrich, he's got to work out because when it comes to interim head coaches, you either need a fat guy, or you need like an ex-player hardass... He looks like the ex-player hardass linebacker... Being a wrestler, I feel like is a big, big plus in the interim head coach power rankings.

Ulbrich went 3-8 as interim head coach, failing to significantly turn the Jets season around.

The Chiefs will win the Super Bowl again

What the Chiefs are doing is very dynasty Patriots-esque... They're just really, really good and they're going to win the Super Bowl again and we just all have to come to grips with that.

The Chiefs did NOT win the Super Bowl in the 2024 season. They lost Super Bowl LIX to the Eagles 22-40.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
