Alabama will beat Clemson by 10-14 points in the Sugar Bowl
I'm looking at this where I think Alabama's probably going to win this one, and I really don't know if it's going to be close. I think this could be like a 10-14 point win for Alabama. Hot take Fornelli. It's never really in question.

View episodeThe NFL playing games on Christmas Day was bullshit
I think it was actually bullshit that the NFL played on Christmas Day. No, that's an NBA day. It felt so weird. The Steelers and Texans game, that felt like the first Saturday wild card game that no one really wanted to watch. I just felt like it was a little too much. They should have just kept it to Saturday and Sunday.
The 49ers will be everyone's trendy playoff pick for next season
The 49ers are going to be our Regis Philbin team next year. The Regis Philbin Dark Horse of the Year, where Regis even picks a team as the Dark Horse, that means they're no longer a Dark Horse. Every single person in the world is going to pick the 49ers to go to the playoffs next year.
The Titans should not be allowed to make the playoffs because they are boring
I think as a country we need to have a vote and make it so the Titans cannot make the playoffs. Fuck the Titans. I don't want to see the Titans in the playoffs. No one wants to see the Titans. Just think about this. Would you rather see the boring-ass, shitty-ass Titans losing the first round or Bills fans go crazy because they clinched their first playoff berth in like a billion years.

I look at LSU and the coaching upgrade that they have and how talented that team is. I wonder if they're not the second best team in the league.
Indiana has a real chance to have the best defensive line in the Big 10
I believe there's a chance that Indiana has the best defensive line in the Big 10. I think that is a real possibility with what they have, both as guys as they've developed. And because with the new rules, some people they've been able to bring back who weren't in NFL camps... They've got like fathers of three on their defensive line. And I think that's a huge advantage to have.
The Big 10 will only get three teams into the 2026 College Football Playoff
I'm gonna say it now. Big 10 doesn't get a fourth team in. Oh, okay. I think they're only gonna get those three [Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State]. They're just gonna eat each other alive.
