Stop pretending the hot seat list is about wins and losses. It's about recruiting. If your class is outside the top 30, you're already cooked. Our staff is on notice.
Calling it now, the 2026 playoff is Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Indiana agaain. Everyone writing off the Hoosiers is a fool. They lost pieces, but the culture of a champion doesn't just vanish. Oregon's QB battle is a smokescreen, they have the most complete roster in the country. Georgia reloads as always. Texas is the only team with the firepower to hang. The SEC and Big Ten hype machines will be on full blast, but the best four teams are clear. The committee will try to force a second SEC team in, probably Alabama, but it's a fraud. Their identity is a question mark with that new offensive line, no matter what the portal says. Indiana proved last year that a well-coached, tough team can beat anyone. They'll do it again. The playoff expansion can't come soon enough to save these other pretenders.
Stop pretending Oregon is the new dynasty. They have a QB competition and a bunch of five-star recruits. So what. They haven't won anything meaningful. They lost to Indiana in the playoff. Now they're the favorite? That's a joke. They're the most overrated team in the country. They get all the hype every single offseason and then they choke. They're the new Texas. All the talent, none of the guts. They bring in Dylan Raiola and suddenly they're unbeatable? Please. Their defense is soft and their coach can't win the big one. Georgia is still better. Ohio State is still better. Oregon is just the shiny toy everybody wants to talk about. They're frauds until they prove otherwise. They won't.
