Takes

Indiana will beat Miami by double digits in the National Championship

I think Indiana, I think they're gonna do it. I too, and I think they're going to win by double digits.

Ohio State, Georgia, Indiana, Notre Dame, and Alabama are the only teams that can win the national title

Ohio State. Georgia. Indiana, Notre Dame. Alabama. ... Alabama beat [Georgia], so how can you say they are not a believer? ... You just wanna get in and then it becomes matchups.

Texas A&M might have the best portal receiver haul in the country

[Texas] A&M hit on Mario Craver and Cyrus Allen, the two guys at receiver they got outta the portal. That might be the best receiver hall outta the portal so far this year. We may find out that A&M's offense is just really, really good.

Miami is a complete team and a great value at 16-to-1 to win the National Championship

I would put them [Miami] above LSU in Texas. 'Cause it's easier for them to make the playoffs... they fixed the defense. The defense stunk last year... they're a much more complete team.

Kalen DeBoer is not built for the SEC and will fail at Alabama

For whatever reason the coach doesn't fit Alabama... it takes a different kind of human to win in the SEC... I don't think Kalen DeBoer fits Alabama. Alabama fan base and the Alabama pressure is different and it fucks people up. And it fucked him up last year. I think it's gonna fuck him up again. He's not built for this shit.

Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love is my Heisman pick at 25-1

Jeremiah Love. That's mine. 25 to 1. The narrative doesn't—you don't have to do a narrative when it's Notre Dame. If he gets enough carries he's electric and it's Notre Dame and sports writers are going to go crazy for Notre Dame.

Nico Iamaleava's move to UCLA cost him 80% of his earning power when accounting for California taxes and cost of living

[Nico Iamaleava] actually ended up losing, I'm going to guess like 80% of his earning power when you take into account the cost of living in LA and the state income tax in California as opposed to Tennessee, which doesn't have any.

Ohio State will beat Texas by two touchdowns in the semifinal if they stay aggressive

If Ryan Day and Chip Kelly don't hold this team back, if they call plays the same way they've been calling plays, I think they win about two touchdowns... I don't know how you stop 'em.

Ohio State could either win the national championship or come out completely flat in the playoffs.

I think Ohio State could either win it all or they could come out and just be like a completely dead team. Totally flat against Tennessee.

Only Oregon, Ohio State, or Georgia can win the national title this year

I do strongly think that if your name's not Oregon, Ohio State or Georgia, you're not gonna win the whole thing.

The 2024 college football season is on pace to be as chaotic as the legendary 2007 season

The chaos and the fact that we don't know who's good in college football right now... It reminds me of that 2007 season... We're on pace for that right now. It's probably not going to last to the same extent that 2007 did, but the upsets are incredible.

I am officially ranking Georgia as the number one team in the country

Georgia's my number one team. Texas two, Ohio State's three. Tennessee, Penn State, USC, Miami, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri, Iowa State... and Northern Illinois.

The Florida Gators have a better roster than head coach Billy Napier is capable of coaching

I think Napier is a bad coach. But I think he's built a pretty good roster. I think the roster is better than the coach. I think they can win... seven games.

Alabama's offense is going to be insanely explosive under Kalen DeBoer with Jalen Milroe

Kalen DeBoer taking the job, who's had success everywhere he is gone... I think Alabama's offense is gonna be like insanely explosive and something like you saw maybe five years ago when they had that wide receiver room. Jalen Milroe is probably the best deep passer in college football.

Cam Ward's season at Miami will be 'feast or famine' given his history of high-risk play

Miami has the roster and the schedule for [a playoff run]. Cam Ward... I will tell you from watching Cam Ward through the years, it's a little feast or famine there. So we're gonna find out how he deals with [the environment].

The Wisconsin Badgers will be a better team this year, regardless of their final record

I think [the Badgers] are gonna be a better team than they were last year. They might not have a better record... because we have a brutal schedule. Alabama non-conference, Penn State, Oregon... USC. So like they could end up seven and five, but I'd be like, I'm excited about the future.

Notre Dame will go 11-1 this season and then get smoked in the playoffs

But you see the schedule, they're probably [going] 11 and one. And then get fucking smoked in the playoffs against somebody.

Michigan will win the National Championship but Washington plus the points is the smart bet

My heart is putting me on Washington, but my testicles are saying Michigan... I'm leaning towards betting Washington in the points. But I think Michigan's gonna win.

Jim Harbaugh had no knowledge of the Michigan sign-stealing scandal and is innocent

I'm going with the theory that Jim Harbaugh had no knowledge of it and that Michigan is going to get sanctioned and Jim Harbaugh, 'cause he had no knowledge of it, has to recuse himself from Michigan and go coach the Chicago Bears. That is what I'm going with. Jim Harbaugh's innocent. Jim Harbaugh had no knowledge.

If oil reaches $95 a barrel, Jimbo Fisher will get bought out of his contract

I'm setting a price target right now. I'm setting a personal price target. If oil reaches $95 a barrel, then I predict that Jimbo Fisher will get bought out of his contract.

The Washington Huskies will win the National Championship

I'm going to give you [a future bet] and I want you to go put whatever you want to put on it. On the Washington Huskies. Michael Penix is legit. I think their schedule is very favorable. They're going to score 40 on everybody. This is the most wide open season we've ever seen in college football.

There are no superpower teams in college football this year

It feels like this college football season... No one's really that good... There's a lot of really good teams, but no superpower team, which I love.

Dabo Swinney's refusal to adapt to NIL and the transfer portal is his downfall

He's so resistant to change when college football has so drastically changed in the last five years. It's kind of great to be like, dude, all you had to do was embrace it and realize that everything is changing around you. You gotta change. Like Nick Saban has always changed.

Colorado will beat Nebraska by 30 points next week

I'm on your side. You're going to win by 30 against Nebraska.

Iowa will score 31 points per game and win the Big 10 West

I'm on record. They're gonna score 31 points per game and I think they're gonna win the west. I think they are the best team. They're the one I have the fewest questions about.

College Football Playoff prediction: Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and Alabama

I'm gonna go Georgia, Michigan. I'm gonna go Oregon. I'm gonna say Oregon wins the Pac-12. First Pac-12 playoff participant since 2016. And then Alabama.

The 'horns down' gesture is officially back and allowed in the SEC

You can use horns down because according to John McDade, the SEC's coordinator of officials on penalizing for horns down signal in '24... he said that you can use horns down against Texas.

Malik Murphy is the real sleeper in the Texas QB battle and has the best arm on the team

In reality in the UT quarterback competition, there was a big dark horse sleeper that no one saw coming in Malik Murphy... I think has the best arm out of any of the quarterbacks on the team. Quinn Ewers did have an amazing day... but this Malik Murphy guy just was throwing bombs out there.

Kirby Smart is the new standard of college football

Kirby Smart is the new standard. It was actually a great moment where David Pollack told Nick Saban to his face that everyone's trying to catch up to Georgia... Kirby Smart looks like the new Nick Saban. I know, I know. That might sound ridiculous, but it, I mean he just won back to back national titles.

Nathanial Vakos will be the number one kicker in the nation next year

The kicker from Ohio [University] just committed to Wisconsin... Nathanial Vakos. I'm ranking him as the number one kicker in the nation going into the next year.

The TCU vs. Georgia National Championship game will be a high-scoring shootout over 60 points

Somebody told me the over-under's like in the sixties. I think this is another game over that. I think it's another game early kind of feel each other and then after that it's gonna be back and forth. You know, I think it's in the high thirties, low forties kind of like the two semi-final games. I'd be surprised if it's not a shootout.

The Ohio-Wyoming Arizona Bowl is for true football guys because there will be a lot of running and punting

Ohio and Wyoming. I think we're gonna get some, this is gonna be one of those games where it's the true football guys, cuz there's gonna be a lot of running, a lot of punting football guys.

Nebraska's 2021 team was nine plays away from a perfect 12-0 season

Can you confidently say Nebraska of 2021 was not the greatest three win football team... You can easily say that... nine plays away from a perfect 12 and 0 season.

James Madison University will be ranked in the Top 25 if they are undefeated heading into the Marshall game

They should be wins [Arkansas State/Georgia State]. And then they got Marshall at home. They will be ranked at least 23 if they go into that game... It's pretty crazy the fact that they, this is their first year as a big boy program and they're undefeated.

Texas is 'back' because their defense is finally legitimate

I'm counting Texas as back because their defense played better than they've played in, I don't know, 15 years. I can't even remember the last time that defense was 100% legit. It was awesome.

Gene Chizik should be fired as North Carolina's defensive coordinator

Gene Chizik, like what? He, I don't even know. I, you have to fire him. The fact that it happened [giving up 40 in a quarter] and then the next day Jackson state... shut down [FAMU] and like UNC gave up 24 points to them.

Cincinnati proved they still belong in the top tier of college football despite losing to Arkansas

I actually think that Cincinnati's loss to Arkansas is better for Cincinnati. Like it proved that they still kind of belong... I think they're still very good. I think that they're like a top 20 team.

Pitt is overrated heading into the Backyard Brawl

I'm just going to say Pitt's overrated. I think Pit's overrated.

Texas is 'back' as soon as they get one big win in September

My threshold is one big win in September. They're back... If they cover against Alabama, they might be back. Yes, that might be what makes them back right there.

The 2022 College Football Playoff field will be Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, and Clemson

I was talking to people the other day and they were like, what, who do you think is going to be like the top four going into the pre-season next year? I was just off the top of my head, Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson... Georgia, Georgia, they've gotten a lot of transfers and they've gotten some talent.

Urban Meyer will be back on Big Noon Kickoff within a year and win another college title in three years

Everyone should be ready for this urban Meyer sliding back into that desk on the Fox, big noon kickoff. I don't even know, might even be as early as this year if they have a bowl game. Pre-show but that will happen. And in like three years, he'll be linked to some big time job. Probably go take it, win a national title, and this will all be like, oh, remember when urban Meyer coach the Jaguars for 15 games.

Travis Hunter will not be the only five-star recruit to join an HBCU

I liked it as well stated. And I don't think he's [Travis Hunter] going to be by himself. I'm just telling you that he's not going to be alone. I promise you. He is not going to be alone. You're going to hear about that real soon.

Brian Kelly's tenure at LSU will probably blow up due to the bad culture fit

I'm super excited for Brian Kelly in Baton Rouge because it's such a bad culture fit, obviously. So it's going to probably blow up. Now. He can either win really quickly and he should, because if he doesn't, it's going to get bad and it's going to get bad really fast. And it can be very funny to watch like Brian Kelly pretending to be a southerner.

I am officially done ever thinking that anyone can score on Georgia

I'm officially done ever thinking that anyone can score on Georgia. That first drive by Tennessee... and then they just destroying everyone. There's just no way that you can keep up with that defense.

The Clemson dynasty is officially dead and Dabo Swinney is a system coach

Clemson is officially—is the dynasty over? Clemson is dead. The dynasty's dead. Dabo was a system coach. He can't do it without an elite quarterback. He can't do it without Deshaun Watson or Trevor Lawrence.

Cincinnati will only make the CFP if no one-loss Power 5 team exists

The details are... it has to be Cincinnati will get into the college football playoff over a one-loss Power 5 team. So one loss. It can't be two losses... I just know how the college football playoff works and the bias that happens.

If the College Football Playoff started today, my final four would be Georgia, Alabama, Oregon, and Penn State

If they started the college football playoff today, my final four would be Georgia and Bama, which obviously not new colors, but Oregon and Penn state new colors. And that's our color update.

Notre Dame is not a good football team and they will lose to either Wisconsin or Cincinnati

You don't think Notre Dame is good? I think Notre Dame might be... They barely beat Toledo... Notre Dame will loose either Wisconsin or Cincinnati. Hopefully Wisconsin.

I'm not getting off the Graham Mertz train

The Badgers fell on their face. I'm still going to believe in Graham Mertz. I'm not going to get off this train. That sucked, though.

Chip Kelly has UCLA rolling and they can beat anyone in the Pac-12

I think [Chip Kelly] does. I mean, if they can do that to LSU, where the talent gap is pretty big between UCLA and LSU, there's nobody UCLA is going to play in the Pac-12 that has that kind of talent. UCLA can beat anybody in the Pac-12.
