Michigan officially broke Ryan Day and the Ohio State program

It actually is my, my weird take here is that Michigan did it again. They broke 'em. Ryan Day had spent so much energy to beat Michigan this year, after they beat Michigan, it was over.

This is a subjective assessment of team psychology following a playoff loss.

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.

Miami lost to Indiana 21-27 in the CFP National Championship game. The U did not win the title.

Indiana is definitively a better football team than Alabama

My theory going into it was Indiana is better than Alabama in every single facet of this game. In a seven point spread was so disrespectful to the type of team... No, Indiana's turned it... they're just better than Alabama. Like their dudes are better top to bottom.

Indiana beat Alabama 38-3 in the Rose Bowl, supporting this claim.

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].

Travis Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy, making this vote 'incorrect' in terms of backing the winner.

Brian Kelly is not built for the SEC and does not belong in the conference

I'm gonna stand on that take. That's my official take on Brian Kelly. You could put this on a quote card. He ain't supposed to be SEC. No, he's [Jerry DiNardo]... hired him and it was like, dude, what are you doing here? You don't know our culture.

Kelly has continued to struggle in high-stakes SEC openers and big games, reinforcing the perception of a mismatch.

There is a zero percent chance Clemson wins the national title this year

There's 0% chance Clemson is winning the national title this year. No, because you saw what it looks like when it's the best teams... Clemson was never in that game... as soon as the dam breaks, there's just nothing they can do about it.

Clemson failed to make the College Football Playoff and was eliminated from national title contention.

Tennessee will be a legitimate contender in the SEC this season

Nico [Iamaleava] looks so good that I feel like Tennessee's gonna compete in the SEC. I feel like they'll be right there.

Tennessee remained in the hunt for the SEC title and a playoff spot for the entire season.

Michigan definitely cheated in the Connor Stallions scandal, but everyone else in college football probably cheated too

I love Connor Stallions... he's essentially just every fan ever who's like, I'll do anything for my team to win... But yeah, I mean they definitely cheated. I think everyone cheated, but they definitely did too.

The NCAA investigation confirmed advanced scouting violations occurred at Michigan, though the 'everyone cheated' part is subjective.

The PAC-12 is currently the most dominant conference in the country

The lead story right now is the PAC 12 is the most dominant conference in the country. They have eight teams in the top 25 right now... It's insane to me that the PAC 12 has been around for a hundred years and they just timed it two years too late.

The Pac-12 had a historic final season, sending Washington to the National Championship, though the conference did indeed dissolve.

Texas will make the College Football Playoff this year

I think Texas is gonna be in the college football playoff this year. I sprinkled a little future on them winning the title this year. I think they're gonna make the playoff.

Texas did make the College Football Playoff in 2023.

Iowa will have an offensive explosion and hit the over against Western Michigan

I'm gonna take whatever the Iowa team total is. Bet the over on it. Because Ferentz is gonna keep his guys in. He knows in the back of his head, if it's late in the third quarter... they need to score some more points.

Iowa beat Western Michigan 41-10, easily hitting the over and providing the offensive explosion PFT predicted.

Texas is actually getting better every week even though they keep losing

I actually think that Texas is getting better every week... I do think that Texas, the more they lose, the better they get.

Texas finished the 2021 season 5-7, including a 6-game losing streak, so they objectively did not get better as the season progressed.
