Wisconsin football is in a dark place and may not win another game this year

We're in a lot of trouble. A lot of trouble. Like dark, dark times... I don't know if they're gonna win another game this year.

Wisconsin went 4-8 in 2025, their worst record under Luke Fickell, including blowout losses like 37-0 to Iowa and 34-0 to Ohio State. They were indeed in a dark place.

Miami is a legitimate national championship contender

Miami is a legitimately good team... if you look at their schedule, Miami is going to be in the national championship consideration.

Miami made the CFP National Championship game, absolutely in national championship consideration.

Penn State has a dream draw to reach the College Football Playoff semifinals

Penn State [is] getting a dream draw... they'd probably be heavy favorites over SMU. They'd probably be heavy favorites over Boise State. And so they could theoretically be heavy favorites in both their first two games and get to the semis.

Penn State defeated SMU 28-0 in the first round and beat Boise State 34-31 in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinals.

Mike Elko is a great football coach and was the right hire over a 'sexy' name

It's a great reminder though, for Texas A&M who did the Let's get Jimbo Fisher and pay him a hundred million dollars... sometimes in college football, Mike Elko was not the sexy hire. He's just a very good competent, like nuts and bolts football coach... Mike Elko is a fucking great football coach.

A&M went from a disaster to SEC title contention in Elko's first year, supporting this take.

Travis Hunter is the best football player in the country and it shouldn't be up for debate

I think if you're just basing this off, who's the best football player? That's the criteria, right? Yeah. Who's the best football player in the country? Yeah. I don't think that it's up for debate.

Subjective Heisman debate, but Hunter's status as the betting favorite in late 2024 aligns with the claim.

Texas is actually the best team in the country, not Georgia

I got Texas [at number one]... The way that they looked against Michigan, the final score, I don't think, does that game justice. It could have been a lot worse. Texas is very good.

Texas proved to be arguably the most complete team for much of the 2024 season.

Michigan is a flawed team that will only win seven or eight games this year

I think Michigan is very bad, or flawed. They're gonna win seven or eight games. They're in trouble offensively. I think it's horrifically bad offensively.

Michigan struggled heavily on offense throughout the 2024 season, finishing the regular season 6-6.

This is the first CFP where all four teams can legitimately win the title

Florida State debacle aside, this is the first time I feel like we have a college football playoff where all four teams can win the title. And it's not like a leap of imagination. It is four teams that are so fucking good and they all kind of do stuff... it's gonna be a great matchup everywhere.

The games were extremely competitive (Alabama-Michigan went to OT, Washington-Texas was a one-score game), supporting the claim of parity.

Ohio State should be ranked #1 in the first CFP rankings based on resume

If I had to take a guess, I would think that Ohio State will be one and there'll be Georgia and Michigan in a two three... Ohio state only because they do probably have the best resume on paper with a Penn State win and a Notre Dame Road win.

Ohio State was indeed ranked #1 in the first 2023 CFP rankings released on October 31, 2023.

Colorado will lose to Oregon by a lot

I think Oregon's gonna win by a lot.

Oregon defeated Colorado 42-6 on September 23, 2023.

Washington might be a worthy future bet in college football

Washington might be, I might have to put a future on Washington. They're so electric.

Washington went 14-1, winning the Pac-12 and playing in the National Championship game.

Texas is officially 'not back' because their field looks like baby diarrhea

Somebody pointed out that the color situation on the broadcast cameras change at Texas depending on what network is running the game... It changes depending on how back Texas is... I was like, they're not back because that field looks like baby diarrhea. Officially not back.

OpinionCFBMediumSarcastic
Texas finished the 2019 season 8-5, which most fans did not consider 'back' to their former glory.
