Trevor Lawrence is Teddy Bridgewater 2.0

He's like a six-month-old dog... His paws are big. He's got skinny shoulders. He's got skinny hips. Skinny knees. He's like Teddy Bridgewater 2.0.

Lawrence went on to be much more successful than Bridgewater in both college and draft stock, and his frame filled out significantly. They are very different archetypes of QBs.

Chip Kelly will leave the San Francisco 49ers for the Oregon head coaching job.

So Chip Kelly rumors are back, and I think he's going to go to Oregon. Then again, he did say he's not interested in it, and as we know, as Nick Saban proved to us... if a coach in the NFL says they're not going to college, that means they're not going to college.

Chip Kelly stayed with the 49ers through the end of the 2016 season and then took a year off before joining UCLA in 2017. He did not return to Oregon in 2016/17.

Oregon will be back on top of college football in four years when Chip Kelly returns

I'm going to call my shot. I'm going to say Oregon's going to win. If we can do like four years to call who's back, in four years Oregon's going to be back to being back. ... When they get Chip Kelly back, right?

Chip Kelly became the head coach of UCLA in 2018, not Oregon. Oregon did eventually return to relevance under Mario Cristobal, but the Chip Kelly part was wrong.

Oregon looks like the best team ever

Oregon looks like the best team ever. Well they do. Dan Lanning... we gotta put a reminder out there that Dan Lanning, if anyone steps to Dan Lanning, take the other side.

Oregon had a great season but did not win the championship and struggled in several close games, far from 'best team ever' status.

Oregon is currently the best team in the Pac-12 despite their loss to Washington

I do think Oregon, what they did in Utah on Saturday, like that doesn't happen to Utah. They bullied him. Oregon. It's weird because even though they lost to Washington, they look like they're the best team in that conference right now.

Washington beat Oregon for a second time in the Pac-12 Championship game, proving they were the superior team in that conference for 2023.

Oregon belongs in the SEC based on vibes alone

I honestly think that on vibes alone, Oregon should be in the sec. I feel like that's, that's where they belong as a, as a school. If I'm just like going strictly off five.

Oregon eventually joined the Big 10, not the SEC.

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.

Oregon defeated JMU 45-20, so JMU did not cover the 21.5 spread.

My 2021 College Football Playoff field is Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, and Oregon

I am doing the least chalky chalk I can, as far as my official predictions. I've got my playoff being Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Oregon.

Only Alabama made the 2021 playoff from this list. Ohio State, Clemson, and Oregon all missed.

It will be a long time before another walk-on quarterback starts for a National Champion

It will be, I'll say this confidently, there'll be a long time before we see a walk-on be the starting quarterback for a national champion again.

The same walk-on, Stetson Bennett, won the National Championship again the following season (January 2023).

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.

Joel Klatt predicted Dan Lanning would win a national championship. Oregon went 13-0 in the regular season but was routed by Indiana 56-22 in the CFP semifinal. Lanning has not yet won a national championship as of March 2026.

Chip Kelly will be the head coach at Oregon within the next few years

Chip Kelly back to Oregon... yeah, because they're in some turmoil. Lost three games in a row. Silicon Valley to Nike Town... Chip Kelly to Oregon, going back to college. Listen, like Skip [Bayless] and Stephen A. [Smith], they need each other, right? That's when they were both at their most successful. So I think that's definitely going to happen.

Chip Kelly eventually returned to college football but at UCLA in 2018, not Oregon. He did not return to Oregon in this timeframe.

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.

Iowa finished 9-4 (6-3 Big Ten) in 2025, losing key games to top-20 opponents. They did not run the table or make the College Football Playoff. Andy Staples' conditional prediction did not come to fruition as Iowa could not beat the teams they needed to.

Alabama will get into the CFP over Oregon even with the loss to LSU

I think Alabama still gets in. I think they would get in over Oregon... because dude, the committee loves SEC teams.

Alabama did not make the CFP; they suffered a second loss to Auburn. Oregon also did not make it despite winning the Pac-12.

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.

Oregon went 13-2 with an 8-1 Big Ten record in 2025, reaching the CFP semifinals before losing to Indiana. They were far better than the predicted 8-4 or 9-3. Brandon Walker's prediction of disappointment was wrong.

Florida State's week one loss is an easy fix because they just forgot to hydrate

Florida State's excuse is that the boys didn't drink enough water pregame. So they're going to get that fixed. They're going to get that turnaround. It's an easy fix.

Florida State went on to finish the 2019 season 6-7 and fired Willie Taggart in November, proving it was not an easy fix.
