If Utah wins and Georgia loses, Utah will make the College Football Playoff

I think as long as Utah wins and Georgia loses, they're going to get the four spot... The committee has been ranking them based on being a complete team... Utah has been dominant all season long.

Utah lost the Pac-12 Championship to Oregon 37-15, which eliminated them regardless of other results.

Mitch Trubisky plays completely differently when he has confidence

I'm going to say about here and now when [Trubisky]'s playing with confidence, different guy. Even his interception was good because he pinned them at the one. His confidence, his decision-making, Matt Nagy's play-calling has been phenomenal in the last two games.

While Trubisky had a great game here, his lack of consistency and overall career trajectory suggest that confidence alone wasn't enough to sustain high-level play.

The Bears now have a 75% chance of making the playoffs

I must say the Bears now have a 75% chance of making the playoffs. [PFT: That's right].

The Bears finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

Lamar Jackson will be the NFL MVP and Joe Burrow will win the Heisman

Lamar Jackson is probably going to be the MVP right? Joe Burrow is likely going to be the Heisman. This I think will be the first year that the Heisman winner would be older than the NFL MVP.

Lamar Jackson won the 2019 MVP and Joe Burrow won the 2019 Heisman. At the time of the awards, Burrow was 23 and Lamar was 22.

LSU will supplant Texas as the second-best team in the SEC

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.

Will be resolved based on final SEC standings.

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.

Will be evaluated based on total defense/sack metrics in the Big 10.

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.

The 2026 CFP selection will resolve this.
