Takes

Baylor will win the Big 12 conference title

I picked Baylor actually to win it all [in the Big 12]... I think he's [Dave Aranda] got enough pieces from the portal... I actually have them beating Iowa State for the championship.

Penn State will win the Big Ten and the National Championship

I picked Penn State to win it all. This is the year I did. I actually picked them to beat, I think I have the championship game them beating LSU for all the marbles... I think they win the Big 10 [beating Ohio State].

Jalon Daniels is worth a Heisman bet at 60-1 odds

Why shouldn't I put a future on Jalon Daniels to win Heisman Trophy? ... It's 60 to one on the DraftKings Sportsbook right now. It's not crazy.

Garrett Nussmeier will win the Heisman Trophy

Garrett Nussmeier to win the Heisman. They'll have to vote for [him]... You'll win that bet.

Shedeur Sanders deserved a trip to New York as a Heisman finalist because he 'never played a bad game'

I voted for Shedeur first... because of what he has encompassed with throughout his whole collegiate career. And it's similar like to Bo [Nix]... we all got to witness like Shedeur's maturation process. And he never played a bad game. All he did was ball. I just had to make sure that he got him a trip up there to New York.

Penn State will beat Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal

I have Penn State winning this game because I think Penn State and Notre Dame are very, very, very similar... I think Penn State's a little bit better version of the team they're going for... great defense, better quarterback... I don't think Drew Aller is gonna make the mistakes the backup quarterback [for Georgia] made.

Ohio State is the best team in the country as long as they don't have to play Michigan

Ohio State is just a team on a mission right now. I don't know what else you can say. Like they are, as long as they don't have to play Michigan, they are the best team in the country.

Indiana and Clemson are the two best upset bets in the first round of the CFP

Indiana and Clemson are the two horses I'm riding. I think the weather, I think the big, I think the weather, it's big 10 weather. It's tough to go against Penn State and Ohio State. I think Indiana's got a shot. And I think Clemson has a real shot because Indiana's Big 10. Notre Dame's not big.

Indiana will pull off the upset against Notre Dame in the CFP

What's the, I, what's the IU Notre Dame? Seven and a half... I would say IU. I'd probably say IU would, would be [the upset].

Bill Belichick will be successful at UNC because he can simplify the path to the NFL for recruits

I think he's gonna be successful at UNC. I really do... there is a compelling case for Bill Belichick shows up to your living room and says, Hey, I can get you in the NFL... I'm just gonna get you in the NFL.

UNC will make the College Football Playoff in Bill Belichick's first year

[Bill Belichick will be successful] first year... College football playoff. We should win the ACC.

I would vote for Ashton Jeanty to win the Heisman Trophy

If I had a vote today after the votes were in, I'd probably vote [Ashton Jeanty].

Bill Belichick will be successful at UNC by marketing it as an 'NFL factory'

I think that if you are matter of fact, he's gonna be the closer. If you're a matter of fact to these both transfer kids and like, I think he'll crush it in the transfer portal because if he just says, Hey, I'm not gonna try to sell you on, like, this idea that we're gonna, we're competing for national titles right away, or we're do, I'm gonna get you ready to play football at the National Football League level and there's no one better that knows that than me.

Arizona State will win the College Football Playoff because they are the hottest team

You know what I'm taking Arizona State. Fuck it... I want, I don't think it works for college football, but it, if it was hockey or college basketball, they're the hottest team. Make a run.

Arizona State could go on a run in the College Football Playoff because they are so hot right now.

I think Arizona State's one of those teams that is so hot right now, and they were 11-1 with their starting quarterback. Why can't they go on a little run?

Notre Dame is built to beat elite teams but cannot win three or four in a row to win a title

I think they are built to beat an Oregon, to beat an Ohio State, to maybe beat a Texas, I don't think they can beat three of those in a row. Or maybe two out of three. I just don't think they're going to be able to put together enough of a passing game... I don't think they have enough consistent offense to win three games in a row.

Ashton Jeanty deserves the Heisman over Travis Hunter

If I had to vote for the Heisman, I would vote for Ashton [Jeanty]. I think I would personally vote for Jeanty. I think it's not talked about enough that the seconding rusher in the country is Ashton Jeanty after contact. I think it's insane.

Don't put any three-loss teams in the College Football Playoff

Don't put a team in that has that number three in the loss column. Don't... I don't want to see the dash three on a playoff team in college football.

Georgia is the best team in the college football country

I think Georgia at their best beats any team at their best. I think Georgia at their worst also beats any team at their worst. Like the floor for Georgia is higher than any other team's floor. And I think that Georgia, like medium Georgia probably beats everybody at their medium except for maybe Alabama.

Tennessee could beat Georgia because Georgia's offense isn't great and Tennessee's defense is good

I wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee was able to beat Georgia. Georgia's not a great team either. Georgia's offense is not that good. Tennessee's defense is pretty good.

Penn State will eventually hire Curt Cignetti away from Indiana

I'll throw out a name with Pennsylvania Roots... Curt Cignetti to Penn State. I think he's from Pittsburgh.

Three-loss teams should not be allowed in the 12-team College Football Playoff

The only shitty thing that could happen, and there should be a rule against this, is you should not be allowed in the 12-team playoff if you have three losses... I feel like you need to take an undefeated team that's maybe in a Group of Five conference and put them in instead of a Power Four team with three losses.

Georgia is the best team in the SEC

I think we all probably saw the best team in the SEC on Saturday night in, in it's Georgia. It's a healthy Georgia... they got pretty much everybody back against Texas And it showed. And that's, that's what they are. So to me Georgia's probably, you know, the best team in the league.

Billy Napier and Dave Aranda are the coaches on the hottest seats in college football

Billy Napier would be a 10... [Dave Aranda] probably that's a 10 with Billy.

Texas is inevitable and is in a tier by themselves

Texas, to me, Texas will learn a lot about them this weekend. I feel like they're inevitable. I feel like this is Texas and then everybody else.

Ashton Jeanty should sit out the rest of the season to protect his NFL draft stock

With the state of the running back position in the NFL where you have to maximize your healthy years... Is it crazy to think maybe Jeanty should just sit down for the rest of the season? I would agree. He's already got a season's worth of stats.

Jalen Milroe will be a first-round pick in the NFL Draft

Don't be surprised if he's [Jalen Milroe] a first round pick at quarterback. If you would've said that a year ago... people would've said you're crazy.

Texas and Alabama will play in the College Football National Championship

College Football national championship game. I'm going to go Texas versus Alabama.

NC State is still going to compete for the ACC despite looking bad against Tennessee

Nico looks amazing... against NC State. And who knows, NC State might even compete for the ACC still. Like they, I don't necessarily write 'em out. The ACC's kind of garbage.

Nebraska is officially back

Nebraska's back. That should be said. Nebraska is back. That was an electric, electric place in Lincoln on Saturday night. It was so much fun watching that game.

The wheels are officially going to fall off for Deion Sanders and Colorado

The wheels could fall off [at Colorado]. Oh yeah, the wheels could fall off. I mean I think the wheels are gonna fall off.

Texas is back and will win the College Football Playoff this season

Texas is back. Big time back. Texas is legit... Whoever wins that Georgia, Texas game, that's gonna be the winner. They're gonna win the whole thing.

Clemson will win the ACC

I have Clemson winning the ACC too. I do think receiver-wise they're gonna be better than they were last year... I think Dabo can win the ACC without using the portal because I don't think the ACC is that good.

Michigan is good enough defensively and on the lines to potentially win the Big Ten again

I don't see any reason why Michigan can't be as good as [Ohio State] because defensively Michigan's still just as good as Ohio State is... Michigan to me, is one of those teams that in September they might look kind of, yeah, eh, but by the time you get to November... they might be a really good team who's gonna be like the momentum dark horse in the playoff.

Nico Iamaleava is the best quarterback in the country

I'm telling you, Nico's [Iamaleava] the best quarterback in the country. Size-wise, talent-wise, ability-wise, fit in the offense that he's in... I already have the future on Nico's Heisman.

Oklahoma will finish with a better SEC record than Texas in their first year

Oklahoma finishes with a better SEC record than Texas. I think Jackson Arnold will be a step forward for them... my concerns about Texas are shared.

Florida State still controls their own destiny despite the Week 0 loss

Florida State has controls their own destiny now. Whereas last year they won all their games and didn't control their own destiny. So they actually control their own destiny even though they lost the first game. So they're not out of it.

Ohio State has zero excuses and must win the National Title this year

They really is no excuse. Not only should they win the Big 10, they should win the national title. There's no excuse. It is national title or bust. You're not really gonna miss Marv [Marvin Harrison Jr.] because they have Jeremiah Smith.

Nebraska will likely start the 2024 season 6-1 or 7-0

I'm looking at their schedule... six and one or seven and oh going to the Ohio State game is not out of the realm of possibility for Nebraska. I want it so bad because they'll have that little number next to their name.

Kansas State is my pick to win the Big 12 championship and earn a playoff bye

My number four seed is my Big 12 champ. I am going with Kansas State though... I've been driving the Avery Johnson bandwagon, I'm gonna keep driving it.

Texas will win the National Championship

The Texas Longhorns. I like the Texas Longhorns... Texas is back. We might see Arch Manning if Ewers has any issues. But I think that Ewers is still obviously one of the best quarterbacks in college football. And their hardest game is Georgia. They have that at home. And with the expanded playoffs... Texas will also benefit.

Washington will win the Big 10

Washington Huskies plus 8,000... I'm gonna go with the conference, our local conference. The big 10, little long shot.

Miller Moss will win the Heisman Trophy

I'm gonna go with Miller Moss, USC. They play LSU week one. I think it's actually the Sunday game. So it's gonna be a standalone game if he comes out and balls... I also am high on USC this year simply because they got rid of Alex Grinch, the worst defensive coordinator of all time.

Nebraska will go 10-2 and compete for a playoff spot

Honestly, man, I think that they could, I think that they could compete this year... I think they could go 10 and two. You gotta think about it when you, if we're going into Ohio State, we're seven and oh... I think Raiola is gonna be a stud. We returned most of the black shirts, top defense last year.

Wisconsin football 'handles' Nebraska whenever they play

Wisconsin handles Nebraska. That's a fact. ... Since Nebraska's been in the Big 10... you have been our bitch. That's a fact. Fact or fiction? What's the record? ... 10 and one. I knew that you knew that. 10 and one.

Florida State will beat Georgia Tech in Ireland to prove they should have been included in last year's College Football Playoff

Florida State's an 11 half point favorite. Maybe this is them showing out that they should have been included in last year's playoffs. Gotta think that angle.

The Sherrone Moore NCAA text deletion scandal won't be a big deal in a week

He [Sherrone Moore] deleted a couple text messages in regard to Connor Stalions and his possible knowledge on the situation... 52 text messages... I don't think anyone's gonna talk about this in a week from now.

Arkansas football might officially be back because of their renewed rivalry with Texas

Sam Pittman said, our focus this year is to embrace the hog at Arkansas. Which I love. I think they're also back because they get to renew the rivalry against Texas. Which is bigger than a lot of people think. Like Arkansas and Texas hate each other. So I'm wishing the best for the hogs. Embrace the hog. I feel like Arkansas might be back.

LSU should find a way to vacate Nick Saban's wins to be real haters

What I think LSU should do, find something that happened when Nick Saban was there, because Nick Saban is up for eligibility next year. And if they took away his wins at LSU... If you want to be a real hater, you could do that to a coach that left you and then came and coached for your rival.

Mike Norvell is my guess for the next Alabama head coach

I'm going to say Mike Norvell. That is going to be my guess. He's been recruiting in this area... Florida State has to recruit against Alabama, Auburn...
