The Celtics will beat the Mavericks in the NBA Finals

I like Boston. I'm scared to death of Luca... but I feel like Boston has the two versus the one... their primary lineup of Pingus back is going to be five people that you have to worry about.

The Celtics defeated the Mavericks 4-1 to win the championship.

Dak Prescott is the 17th or 18th best QB in the NFL, behind Kirk Cousins

Dak right behind Kirk Cousins... 16 should be Kirk [Cousins]. Yep. Right exactly in the middle. [Then Dak Prescott is 17 or 18].

The ranking is subjective, but placing Dak (who finished 2nd in MVP voting in 2023) at 17 is statistically controversial.

Brock Purdy is a top-eight quarterback and better than Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts

Is Brock still available? Oh yeah, Brock's still available. Brock is almost Brock's higher than nine. Oh Eagles fans are gonna be so mad that Brock is higher than nine. [Brock at eight].

Subjective comparison, though Purdy's efficiency metrics often support him being in this tier.

Jared Goff is the 6th best quarterback in the NFL

Maybe Jared at seven. I like Jared at seven. That feels good. Okay, so put wait. Jared at six. Six. Yep. Love that. I love that for us.

Subjective ranking, though Goff has performed like a top-tier QB in 2024, keeping the Lions atop the NFC.

Lincoln Riley still has no signature win at USC

If you go through the Lincoln Riley résumé, this is a really long time since starting in '22 to not have that signature win. Give us one. Beat Oregon once and be like, 'Hey, look.'

This is an assertion about USC’s results under Lincoln Riley that can be checked against the record as of the episode date.

The SEC will regain its national-championship dominance

It was still hard for me to believe that they're just not gonna win national championships now because of NIL. That's the kind of parity. I think the SEC is gonna turn this thing back around where they're gonna start rolling through people again.

The SEC’s future national-title results remain unresolved.

BYU is ranked far too highly to be trusted

I was arguing Texas Tech being overlooked because at least they have some P4 wins in there. They looked like shit against Colorado. BYU is eighth in both polls. I'm not putting them in there.

Whether BYU deserves its ranking and can contend is evaluable over the 2026 season, which is not complete.
