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.

The outcome of the January 2026 National Championship between Indiana and Miami is required to verify.

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.

Notre Dame is a top 10 team despite being left out of the playoff

I do think Notre Dame is unquestionably one of the top 10 teams in the country. And to not have them in a College Football Playoff to decide a champion is stupid.

Miami is a legitimate national championship contender

Miami is a legitimately good team... if you look at their schedule, Miami is going to be in the national championship consideration.

Depends on the outcome of the 2025 college football season.

I feel no remorse for Alabama missing the College Football Playoff

Alabama got left out. I feel no remorse for Alabama... you lost all three of your games in the conference. Their three losses were Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, and Tennessee... you just have to win the games that you should win.

Penn State has a dream draw to reach the College Football Playoff semifinals

Penn State [is] getting a dream draw... they'd probably be heavy favorites over SMU. They'd probably be heavy favorites over Boise State. And so they could theoretically be heavy favorites in both their first two games and get to the semis.

Penn State defeated SMU 28-0 in the first round and beat Boise State 34-31 in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinals.

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.

Georgia finished the regular season with two losses and did not win the SEC, though they remained a top-tier contender.

Indiana should be ranked ahead of Ohio State and Texas because they are undefeated

I think you should just like, as a personal belief, the undefeated team should be ranked ahead of the team with a loss no matter what the schedule is like at this point in the season... Indiana's undefeated. And you could say, well they haven't beaten anyone. True. But if you go common opponents... Indiana beat Nebraska by a million.

This is subjective regarding ranking philosophy, though the committee did eventually rank Indiana very high, just not above everyone.

Mike Elko is a great football coach and was the right hire over a 'sexy' name

It's a great reminder though, for Texas A&M who did the Let's get Jimbo Fisher and pay him a hundred million dollars... sometimes in college football, Mike Elko was not the sexy hire. He's just a very good competent, like nuts and bolts football coach... Mike Elko is a fucking great football coach.

A&M went from a disaster to SEC title contention in Elko's first year, supporting this take.

Travis Hunter is the best football player in the country and it shouldn't be up for debate

I think if you're just basing this off, who's the best football player? That's the criteria, right? Yeah. Who's the best football player in the country? Yeah. I don't think that it's up for debate.

Subjective Heisman debate, but Hunter's status as the betting favorite in late 2024 aligns with the claim.

Texas is actually the best team in the country, not Georgia

I got Texas [at number one]... The way that they looked against Michigan, the final score, I don't think, does that game justice. It could have been a lot worse. Texas is very good.

Texas proved to be arguably the most complete team for much of the 2024 season.

Michigan is a flawed team that will only win seven or eight games this year

I think Michigan is very bad, or flawed. They're gonna win seven or eight games. They're in trouble offensively. I think it's horrifically bad offensively.

Michigan struggled heavily on offense throughout the 2024 season, finishing the regular season 6-6.

Florida State deserved to be in the Playoff, but Alabama makes for better TV

Two things can be true at the same time. Florida State deserved to be in the college football playoff. The college football Playoff is better off with Alabama in it. If you asked literally any division one coach, who would you rather play? Florida State or Alabama? I think they would all say they would rather play Florida State.

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.

I'm betting the over on Northwestern vs Iowa's historic 29.5 total

The lowest over, under total. Yes. In the history of college football at Wrigley... This is 29 and a half, right? 29 and a half. It's Northwestern Iowa. I think I have to go to this game... I'll bet the over.

The game total was 17 points, well under the 29.5 line.

Lane Kiffin is looking to leave Ole Miss for the Auburn job

Lane Kiffin, his postgame press conference after Alabama. That sounds like a guy who wants to go to Auburn. Because he essentially was like, we were right there, I wish we had a few more dudes. And guess who could get a few more dudes? Auburn.

Kiffin remained at Ole Miss, signing a contract extension shortly after the season ended.

Georgia's defense is currently an NFL-level unit

They're an NFL team, Georgia. Their defense is an NFL defense. It's just three years away from being in an NFL defense.

Subjective comparison, but Georgia's 2021-2022 defenses set records for NFL draft picks (15 in 2022 alone).

A college team running the triple option with five-star recruits would be unstoppable

I would love to just see the triple option with elite athletes, cuz no one, I would love to just see the triple option with elite athletes and how much it would fuck everyone up. Cause I don't know how you would defend it. If you had like five star dudes buying in to triple option.

This is a theoretical sports debate that hasn't been tested in the modern era with a top-recruiting program.

Wisconsin will probably lose to Minnesota if they beat Ohio State

If we beat Ohio State we'll lose to Minnesota. That's how it will go. That's the calculation, give and take.

Wisconsin lost to Ohio State in the regular season (38-7) and actually beat Minnesota (38-17), so the conditions for the take weren't met.

Jim Harbaugh has lost the 'juice' and will return to the NFL in the next couple of years.

I think Jim Harbaugh is going to go to the NFL in the next couple of years... His teams just don't look like Jim Harbaugh teams anymore. He's lost the juice that was like his defining quality... He feels like he's cheating on himself running this type of offense.

Harbaugh eventually returned to the NFL, but not 'in the next couple of years.' He stayed at Michigan until 2024, finally winning a national championship before joining the Chargers.

If you live in the South, you must cancel your wedding if it is scheduled for November 9th.

PSA. If you're getting married on November 9th, and you live anywhere below, let's say Kentucky. You need to cancel your wedding right now. Because your wedding will be cursed.

The game was indeed 'The Game of the Century' that year (LSU 46, Alabama 41). Any wedding in the South that day would have been heavily distracted.

Texas is officially 'not back' because their field looks like baby diarrhea

Somebody pointed out that the color situation on the broadcast cameras change at Texas depending on what network is running the game... It changes depending on how back Texas is... I was like, they're not back because that field looks like baby diarrhea. Officially not back.

Texas finished the 2019 season 8-5, which most fans did not consider 'back' to their former glory.
