This is the year one conference gets two teams into the College Football Playoff

I think this is the year where one conference gets two teams in. Now, that's going to leave two of the Power Five conferences unhappy at the end of the year, but I think this is the year it happens.

In 2016, the four teams were from four different conferences (SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12). It didn't happen until the 2017 season.

LSU will win the College Football National Championship

On Saturday and the rest of the weekend, I picked LSU to win everything... My final team, and the winner is LSU. I think LSU wins it. You talk about, and you know, everyone's on Alabama. I'm not against Alabama, but if you look at LSU's recruiting classes... these guys are five, six, seven, eight. I mean, there's really, you know, there's not that much difference.

LSU went 8-4 in 2016 and Les Miles was fired mid-season. Clemson won the national title.

Stanford will win the Pac-10 this year

Prediction for Stanford football this year. Well, I can't... I have a hard time saying winner of the Pac-12, so I'm going to say the winner of the Pac-10 still.

Stanford finished 10-3 in 2016 but did not win the Pac-12 (Washington won).

I'm betting on Ole Miss week one because Hugh Freeze held a fake funeral for himself

As people who know my gambling problem, I will be betting Ole Miss week one without a doubt. If you bury a football, if you plan a fake funeral for yourself, if a beloved mascot dies, that team's going to win the next game.

Ole Miss lost to Florida State 45-34 in their 2016 opener.

Wisconsin threw the 2014 Big Ten Championship game so Ohio State could make the College Football Playoff

Wisconsin threw the 2014 Big Ten championship game 59-0 so that Ohio State could go to the national championship game... Barry Alvarez, Wisconsin AD, sits on the selection committee... He knew, hey, listen, if we're going to get the Big Ten into the national championship, they've got to put a whooping down. Hey, Wisconsin – Go ahead and roll over. 59-0. Let's make it a bloodbath.

While Ohio State did need a big win to jump into the playoff, there is no evidence the game was fixed.

Urban Meyer will win a national title before he has another health issue

I think that [Urban Meyer] is going to win a national title before another national title. [Big Cat: Before another fake heart attack?] There was nothing fake about it, Big Cat... Show some concern for your fellow human beings.

Urban Meyer did not win another national championship at Ohio State before retiring in 2018. His last title was in 2014.

Bobby Petrino coaches every game with a waistband-tucked boner

I've got a theory that Bobby Petrino coaches every single game doing a waistband tuck... He's got full erection. Every conference game, he's got a full erection. Just keep an eye on that for maybe a little cherry poking out of the top.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
This is a hyperbolic comedic claim that is not verifiable or likely true.

Tennessee will win the SEC East because they have the fewest question marks

Like in the SEC East, you've got to go with Tennessee just simply because they've got a lot of talent coming back and they don't have as many question marks as, say, like Georgia or Florida or anybody else.

Florida won the SEC East in 2016 with a 6-2 conference record; Tennessee finished second at 4-4 in conference play.

Texas A&M is the sleeper team to contend in the SEC West

But I'm really intrigued, and this is possibly my sleeper team in the SEC West, Texas A&M. Nobody's talking about them. John Chavis is in his second year. I'm going sleeper team to possibly contend Texas A&M.

Texas A&M finished 8-5 (4-4 in SEC) in 2016, ending up 4th in the SEC West, well behind Alabama.

Dan Mullen won't leave Mississippi State until he has another 10-win season

I think his window of opportunity for leaving went out the window the year that Mississippi State went to number one in 2014, and I think he's going to have to do something or have another 10-win season before he can leave Starkville.

Dan Mullen stayed at Mississippi State through the 2017 season (where he won 9 games) before leaving for Florida. He did not achieve another 10-win season before leaving.
