The Syracuse zone will be a nightmare for opponents due to the lack of non-conference play

Syracuse is a team, especially in a year like this, where nobody really played out of conference games, that zone can be an [motherfucker] to you... I think they have athleticism... Them and matching up with West Virginia in the second round is a really, really interesting game.

Syracuse made it to the Sweet 16 as an 11-seed, proving Steve's point about their zone being difficult to prepare for.

Mitch Trubisky will rehab his image in Buffalo and get another starting opportunity next year

If [Mitch Trubisky] spends a year as Josh Allen's backup, I think that the negative media around Mitch will dissipate. And then next year, he will be a name where it's kind of the Jameis Winston. It's like, oh, well, let's give him a try. He was a top pick. He was a No. 2 pick.

Trubisky spent 2021 as a backup in Buffalo and was signed as the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022.

The NFC East is going to be dangerous this year

The entire NFC East is getting dangerous. The Beast, baby... We're Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. You guys all laughed at us last year. Now we're about to just flip out and shoot everybody.

The division was significantly better in 2021, though PFT's extreme delivery is satirical.

Streaming services have just become a more expensive version of the traditional cable package

I can't believe no one is making a big stink about the fact that cord cutting, oh, I can cut all my costs. Now you just have to buy all of the streaming services, which is exactly what cable was... Now I have Amazon Prime. I have Hulu. I have Netflix. I have Disney Plus. And then you look at it all and you're like, wait, I just have a cable package.

This is a subjective opinion on value, though widely shared by consumers and market analysts since 2021.

Indiana is the #2 ranked team in the country and is being disrespected again

I think Indiana's already getting disrespected again and it's fucking insane. I have 'em ranked two right now and I'm with you. These are big time players. They already have guys coming back on the offensive line. Nick Marsh is a pro at receiver... I'm totally with you. I think what they've, people are just gonna say, oh, they can't repeat it's Indiana. That was a fluke. Just like, look at the roster, man. It's very doable.

The 2026 season outcome for Indiana will determine if Steve's #2 ranking was prescient or absurd.

Notre Dame will win the 2026 National Championship

I think Notre Dame's the real deal guys. I really expect, I, I expect them to win the national championship. The only thing, but they're in, in the Miami category, their schedule's not tough at all. I believe it's the best defense in the country coming into the season. And CJ Carr is real. The offensive line is locked and loaded.

Resolves at the end of the 2026-27 College Football Playoff.

This is the best team Lincoln Riley has had at USC, and the best team Brent Venables has had at Oklahoma

When you talk to people that have gone to see USC, it sounds a lot like Oklahoma this year. This is the best team Lincoln Riley's had at USC along with [Brent] Venables. This is the best team he's had at Oklahoma. So there's no more excuses.

Subjective opinion on roster strength, though it will be contextualized by their end-of-season records.
