Jesse Palmer, a College Football Playoff game analyst, discussed the current playoff format and gave his thoughts on the recent quarterfinal games. He believes conference champions should make the playoffs but not receive automatic byes. Palmer praised the Arizona State Sun Devils for their remarkable season and thought they deserved to be on the field with Texas.
Regarding the Texas Longhorns’ quarterback Quinn Ewers, Palmer commended Ewers for putting his head down and continuing to play despite having to deal with the pressure of being replaced by Arch Manning for a short time. Palmer noted that he also experienced similar situations during his college football career, where he felt like he had to constantly look over his shoulder.
Palmer has partnered with Helluva Good Dips to enhance football viewing parties this season. The dip brand has also partnered with Harpoon Brewery to create a French-onion flavored beer. Palmer is a fan of Helluva Good dips and described the combination of chips, dip, and beer as the “perfect combination”.
In regards to the upcoming NFL Draft, Palmer believes that Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward are the top two quarterback prospects, and teams may need to get aggressive to draft one of them.
