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.

Indiana won 27-21, a 6-point margin - not double digits as predicted. The winner was correct but the margin was not.

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.

Fernando Mendoza will be a good quarterback in the NFL.

Fernando Mendoza is gonna be good in the NFL. I, I believe that. He makes big throw after big throw. And just because he's a little quirky doesn't mean he is not an awesome quarterback.

Mendoza's NFL career has not yet happened/begun at the time of this evaluation.

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.

Miami made the CFP National Championship game, absolutely in national championship consideration.

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.

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.

The wheels are officially going to fall off for Deion Sanders and Colorado

The wheels could fall off [at Colorado]. Oh yeah, the wheels could fall off. I mean I think the wheels are gonna fall off.

Colorado actually improved significantly as the season went on, finishing 8-4 and competing for a Big 12 title spot, so the wheels did not fall off.

Whatever team hires Ryan Day as an NFL head coach will be a complete failure

I I just wanna go ahead and predict this. Whatever team hires Ryan Day as an NFL coach will be a complete failure. God help their soul.

Ryan Day was not hired as an NFL head coach through the 2025 season. He remains at Ohio State. The prediction cannot be evaluated since the premise never occurred.

Ohio State should be ranked #1 in the first CFP rankings based on resume

If I had to take a guess, I would think that Ohio State will be one and there'll be Georgia and Michigan in a two three... Ohio state only because they do probably have the best resume on paper with a Penn State win and a Notre Dame Road win.

Ohio State was indeed ranked #1 in the first 2023 CFP rankings released on October 31, 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.

Washington might be a worthy future bet in college football

Washington might be, I might have to put a future on Washington. They're so electric.

Washington went 14-1, winning the Pac-12 and playing in the National Championship game.

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.

Urban Meyer would win a national championship at Nebraska

Urban Meyer at Nebraska. I I'm confidently saying they will be in a college football playoff. And I would say, if he stays there, if you told me he's staying there for 10 years, I'd say they'd win a national championship. He's that good of a coach?

Urban Meyer did not take the Nebraska job; Matt Rhule was hired instead.

Urban Meyer will leave the Jaguars for USC if they start 2-7

If the Jaguars start – I'll even say if they start – 2-7, there's like a 50% chance that Urban Meyer leaves for USC. If it's like 0-6, yeah, I think it's pretty likely.

Urban Meyer was fired from the Jaguars later that season and did not take the USC job (Lincoln Riley did).

Ohio State will lose four games this season

I wouldn't be surprised if [Ohio State] lose four games. Four games.

Ohio State finished the 2021 season with only two losses (Oregon and Michigan).

Steve Sarkisian will stay at Alabama as the head coach in waiting

I think that's actually what Nick Saban wants to do is hand the keys to someone because then it's just kind of still Nick Saban... if I were him, that's what I'd want to do. I'd stay there for as long as Saban wanted to coach and then take it over.

Sarkisian left almost immediately after this (Jan 2021) to take the Texas head coaching job.

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.
