I mean, we've had just as many top fives, I think, as anybody, but outside of the top fives, it's like we would run top five or 15th to 25th, and the team that we were those first 10 weeks, like that is a team that I can't even remember," he said in an episode of The Teardown podcast."I feel like what we did is very realistic for us to do a lot, like when we put everything together....I think internally, we definitely feel like we're a championship caliber team," he added.Chase Briscoe currently sit atop the playoff standings with two wins and eleven top-5's.
