Takes

The U is officially back and Miami can win the national title

The U is back. The U is so back. Absolutely win the title. So yeah, that was, that was New Year's Eve, which it wasn't like the most exciting game, but it was exciting to see a team dominate Ohio State the way they did.

JMU isn't like Liberty; they will be competitive in the playoff

We're not fucking Liberty, dude. We have sex at James Madison University. It's encouraged, it's mandatory. ... If one of those teams keeps it competitive, they might not change the format too much.

Kalen DeBoer would pick up the phone if Michigan called him for their head coaching vacancy

I do think Kalen DeBoer would pick up the phone. Obviously he's got his hands full right now with the playoffs.

Alabama is capable of winning the National Championship this year

Can [Alabama] win a championship? I think yes, they can. Every team that's made the playoffs, they're deserving of it and they have an opportunity to win it. You just gotta go out and make the plays you need to make to win.

JMU will cover the +21.5 spread against Oregon

JMU's in the playoffs. We were playing against Oregon... I bet on JMU to cover at 21 and a half when the line came out. I think that there's a good chance that JMU can cover that.

Texas Tech can win the National Championship because of their defense

I am in the belief that Texas Tech can do it with that defense... Texas Tech is a 'yes' for me [to win a national title] because of that defense. They're going to be stretched where they haven't been stretched before.

Ed Orgeron will return to LSU as part of Lane Kiffin's new coaching staff

I think there's a high chance that he [Kiffin] puts Coach O on his staff... Why wouldn't you want Coach O on the LSU staff? You want him back.

Texas should not be in the College Football Playoff because they lost to Florida

I have a take and, and people will probably say this is wrong, but it's my take... Texas is out... That Florida lost. I know they have three very good wins... that's not a playoff team.

Texas A&M is going to slaughter Texas in their rivalry game.

I know that I said that I thought Texas A&M was gonna demolish Texas on Friday. I had a lot of people very upset with me for that... I'm getting bullied out of my 'A&M will Slaughter Texas' take.

Jeremiah Love should win the Heisman Trophy

Let me hear hear have your Alexa hear me say Jeremiah Love should win the Heisman and then get it in the algorithm.

Georgia is in the best possible position because they can get a playoff bye without playing the SEC championship game

The winner number one is Georgia, because Georgia obviously beats Texas. They get to four. Georgia's in that perfect spot where they could potentially not go to the SEC championship game and have a buy. Which that's gotta be the greatest spot you could ever be in.

Pat Fitzgerald is the absolute best fit to be the next head coach at Penn State

Pat Fitzgerald. One blank. Agree. If the Penn State people can get past allegedly what happened at Northwestern... doesn't it make a lot of sense? ... I was ready to go outside and head to the Northeast and just get cold and frozen and play for Pat Fitzgerald.

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning is a 'war daddy' who is going to win a national championship

Dan Lanning is a war daddy... he's gonna win a national championship. I know that same [logic], you could say like, Hey, their toughest opponent they lost to Indiana... but I'm just, Dan Lanning is dude that, that guy is a war daddy. He's gonna win a national championship.

The College Football Playoff committee is intentionally keeping JMU out because they don't want any 'presidents' in the bracket

I think it's a anti-PFT thing. I think maybe the college football playoff committee has gone woke and they don't want any presidents in their bracket. Makes sense. It's sad. I mean, just fast forward 20 years, Trump University probably will be blacklisted too.

Iowa is a playoff contender if they run the table and beat Oregon and USC

I'll give you a one that I think is really interesting and they're not even ranked yet... Iowa. Iowa's gotta run the table. But they're if they can [beat Oregon and USC], they're in. Given the way Iowa's played... they get Oregon at home. If you can beat both those two teams, you can win out and you will make the playoff at 10-2.

Memphis will be the Group of Five representative in the 12-team playoff

I have Memphis as the team coming outta the group of five. I still think it's gonna be the American champ, whether that's Memphis, Tulane, USF or Navy. But Memphis looks good.

Lincoln Riley might be fired or leave USC soon

USC... I think Lincoln Riley might be out. I think there's guys that might leave the places they want to be, even though they're not doing bad. I think it's gonna be basically full on musical chairs.

Wisconsin Football is currently the worst program in Power Four football

Wisconsin football just because they're the worst team in college football, Power Four college football. It's an absolute joke what's happened to the program. They haven't scored a touchdown in two games. The culture's broken, the program's broken.

Jeremiah Love will put up numbers similar to Ashton Jeanty and be a Heisman contender

I really want Jeremiah Love to get like almost identical to Ashton Jeanty's numbers... he's not gonna get to his numbers, but he does have a soft schedule at the end. And also Notre Dame... they're gonna run the table... they're a legit very, very good team now.

Betting on Ohio State to win the National Championship and the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl is a safe bet that every sports fan should make.

Ohio State to win the National championship and the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. I think it's like 20 to one. ... It just feels like something that you should just, just do and forget about it. ... a safe [bet].

Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year

Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year. He's not making everyday throws now. He's pushing it down the field. He's getting outta trouble. He's got a soul about it, man.

Luke Fickell will be fired soon

I think Luke Fickell is fired by the way soon and maybe Macintosh the AD. Wisconsin's a dumpster fire, maybe worst program right now in Power four.

Ohio State vs. Indiana will be the Big 10 Championship game matchup

I think they're [Indiana] gonna win out. Like, I, I think they're gonna play Ohio State in the Big 10 title game and the way he's [Curt Cignetti] done that so quickly.

Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson are the actual Heisman Trophy frontrunners

The Penn State firing of James Franklin was necessary

James Franklin fired Penn State... You had to because Ir because they're gonna have to recruit and get, like, you can't fire your coach... where's he gonna get drafted? I don't, I don't know. He should've left late. He's gonna, he would've been a first round pick if he went last year.

Curt Cignetti has to be the next head coach for Penn State

Sigge [Curt Cignetti] has gotta be the guy. They went to Oregon and they just fucking kicked the shit out of them. Sigge is a great coach, don't get me wrong. I don't think he has Indiana in his blood. I think that if Penn State called, he's picking up the phone.

Curt Cignetti would leave Indiana for the Penn State head coaching job

I think Penn State is one of the jobs [Curt Cignetti] would definitely leave Indiana for. I think there are a lot of jobs that have come open or or likely to come open that he's been mentioned for that I don't really see as upgrades over Indiana. ... I feel like if you're gonna replace James Franklin, you'd need to find your own Dan Lanning kind of hire.

Texas A&M is the most surprising SEC team that could run the table the rest of the season

I would say Texas A&M. I do think that they're legitimately good. ... They've kind of figured things out and gotten their act together the last few weeks. ... I'm not saying that they will, I'm just saying they strike me as a team that is much better than anybody truly expected.

Notre Dame will run the table and make the College Football Playoff

I think Notre Dame's gonna go to the Playoff. I think they're going to... I did that rant trying to reel Notre Dame fans back in 'cause a lot of 'em were like season's over. I think they're gonna run the table. I think they're gonna go to the Playoff.

I bet on the Miami Hurricanes to win the national championship

I bet on The U to win the national championship. I think that they can... I might be wrong, but I feel like if there's one coach that's gonna be able to handle bye week-game-bye week, it's probably Mario Cristobal.

Arch Manning stinks right now and is a fundamentally different quarterback than we expected

I don't know what the hell this is. It looks like he's throwing from a different arm slot... I thought maybe he could be average at worst. I don't know what the hell this is... it does feel like it's mental. It feels like the yips almost.

Utah is the favorite to win the Big 12 if they beat Texas Tech this weekend

If... Utah wins [this weekend], Utah is your favorite in the Big 12. I can't wait to see this because... Utah probably has the best offensive line in the Big 12.

USF is currently the best team in the country

College football. USF is the best team in the country. Resume. Debate me. USF... Are they the only team that's beaten two ranked opponents? I believe so. So they beat Boise State and then they beat Florida. I think they're, I think you can make the case. They should be ranked higher. Top 10.

USF should be ranked in the top 10 after beating two ranked opponents

USF... Are they the only team that's beaten two ranked opponents? I believe so. So they beat Boise State and then they beat Florida. I think they're, I think you can make the case. They should be ranked higher. Top 10.

Billy Napier is finished at Florida

The Florida win was Billy Napier is, I mean, he's just dead. He's just gone. Florida then spit. Billy Napier is all but out.

Michael Jordan needs to be allowed back on the UNC football sidelines with a headset for decision making

I would say maybe Jordan needs to be allowed back on the sidelines headset. Why are you kicking Jordan out of all decision making from the team and then acting surprised when you get the shit kicked out of you by TCU week one?

Alabama is back to being a regular program like it was before Nick Saban

This is going back to Bama. This is what you were before Nick Saban was there. That's what you're gonna be after Nick Saban leaves, unless you find the next Nick Saban.

Nico Iamaleava should transition to being a wide receiver

Nico, I'm a receiver. Yeah, that's, that's what I'm calling him... I think he's very fast. I think he's got great change of direction. I think he has no idea how to throw like an intermediate pass whatsoever.

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer will be a Heisman contender this season

John Mateer from Oklahoma was outstanding. Love him... to go from Jackson Arnold to John Mateer, it feels like going from a stripper named honey love to bashful. It's a totally different mindset. [He's] gotta be up there [for the Heisman].

The ACC is wide open this season and Florida State could return to the playoff

I think the ACC is more wide open than we've ever seen. We all thought that Clemson was gonna run away with it... Florida State might be the most physical team in the country... wouldn't it be something, two years after they didn't get into the playoffs going 13 and oh, they get into the playoffs this season. To me that would be just like the right thing for the football guys to do.

Penn State will win the National Championship

I have picked Penn State to win the national title... I think it's the most complete team. I think the quarterback is fantastic and I think it doesn't matter that the coach has never broken through it never. It only matters if he can do it. I believe he can do it.

Oregon will disappoint and could finish 8-4 or 9-3 due to a sneaky tough schedule

I think this is the team that people are just assuming is gonna be top 10 because of their recruiting profile... but they're kind of starting over. There's a lot of new guys here. I think and the schedule is sneaky tough. That last game at Washington. Oregon, you can fuck around and look up and they're like 9-3 or 8-4 and wouldn't be shocked.

Nebraska will make the 12-team College Football Playoff

I released my, my playoff 12 and I got Nebraska in it. I think Nebraska is this year's Indiana in the fact that they will be better as a football team than they they have been and their schedule is fantastic.

Ole Miss backup Austin Simmons is a legit Heisman longshot at 40-1

I'll give you a long shot quarterback in the SEC: Austin Simmons at Ole Miss. Lane Kiffin still is good at coaching quarterbacks... if Simmons kind of over performs what you would expect from somebody with his lack of experience... he's a left shot though. I think he's like 40 or 50 to one.

LSU will win the National Championship

I picked LSU to win the national title. So I I'm with you on that. I picked 'em to win the SEC too. And it's, it's kind of along with what you just said, like they're, the way that they work, it's like when you don't expect them to be anything is when they're gonna jump up and have a great year.

West Virginia is this year's Indiana and could surprise the Big 12

Everybody's looking for this year's Indiana... Rich Rod left Jacksonville State, went to West Virginia, brought the entire fucking roster with him... I look at West Virginia, like if that's a future you wanna take instead of taking Jalen Daniel... they could be in the playoff hunt.

Miami will be the most disappointing team in college football this year

One of the questions was, who's gonna be like the most disappointing team this year? And I picked Miami... The thought is that they probably won't finish inside that [Top 12] maybe this year.

Cade Klubnik will be a Heisman Trophy finalist this year

I think they've got a really veteran quarterback who I think is gonna probably win or get very close to winning the Heisman trophy... Cade Klubnik.
