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.

Wisconsin football is in a dark place and may not win another game this year

We're in a lot of trouble. A lot of trouble. Like dark, dark times... I don't know if they're gonna win another game this year.

The Badgers are likely to win at least one more game, making 'not winning another game' factually unlikely but emotionally true for a fan.

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.

There was a coordinated media hit against Indiana Football orchestrated by Greg Sankey

Greg Sankey made a call to all of media on Monday and had everyone in the media bash them when they have their big game coming up against Ohio State. And that makes no sense to me. Indiana has not played anyone. Indiana's an awesome story. Indiana's an underdog story. I'm rooting for Indiana.

While media criticism of Indiana's schedule increased, there is no public evidence of a coordinated hit by Sankey.

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.

If Florida State goes and beats Georgia in their bowl game, claim that National Championship. Just claim it. Just say it. Pull the UCF and no, there's no rule of saying that you can't declare yourself National champion if you're undefeated. That's what I would do.

This is the first CFP where all four teams can legitimately win the title

There's no difference between what Sark has done so far at Texas and what Tom Herman had did. Actually, Tom Herman was better at this point. He beat more ranked teams, he went to a bowl.
