All right, Matt, let's get to 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.119 it before we get to the college Whip and you're 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.520 dead and alive, and say goodbye for what's been a 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.800 very productive week in great sports talk. We've had a 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.480 lot of great sports talk. Long Beat City College the 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:57.640 word of the day, his words, the word of the day. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.840 Today's word of the day is Olay the Viking. Long 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.880 Beach City College, And Matt, you identify with Orange County, 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.000 but you're very close to Long Beach. I mean you 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.560 live right on the border there. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.880 Preston used to practice there when she played volleyball for 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.120 her club team, so I spent some time on campus there. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:21.040 Long Beach City College LBCC a proud place with a 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:26.760 proud tradition since nineteen twenty seven, is currently trying to 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:31.320 fight off a student siege to replace Olay the Viking 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.080 and being the Vikings that they have had since nineteen 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.800 twenty seven. Students are currently pushing to change it to 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:46.720 a dolphin captain Daney the Dolphin, to better reflect the 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:53.800 diverse coastal community and values of modern Long Beach City College. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.680 I mean Vikings are a seafaring people, I mean, are 0:02:58.680 --> 0:02:58.960 they not? 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.600 Was selected by the student body when the school started 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.880 in nineteen twenty seven. This is like what happened some 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.919 time ago at Long Beach State who were the forty 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:15.120 nine ers, not because they enslaved Chinese indigenous people on 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.440 the railroads, but because the school was established in nineteen 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.600 forty nine. This school is more than twenty years older. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.960 They're called the Vikings. I don't know who's upset about 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.480 the Vikings, but they want to change it to Danny 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:32.240 the Dolphin. 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.720 I'm not love dolphins. Everybody Dolphins. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:43.160 The dolphin symbolizes the local coastline unity and the college's 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.640 values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. I don't know why 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:53.960 a dolphin symbolizes equity and inclusion and diversity. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:54.800 Because it's not a white guy. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.320 I mean it's not a white guy, but the Viking technically, 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.440 I mean he's an ancient warrior. He's not. It's an 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:08.680 ongoing discussion. Strong student support for the diversity and inclusion dolphin. 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.840 Like LB the pronoun shark. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:15.480 I believe it's LB. 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.800 It is that he doesn't. It's not like he or her. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.880 LB's like A and and I don't think there are 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.600 any transgender sharks. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:26.320 No. 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:27.960 I believe they are either male or few. 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.479 You identify one way or the other. If you're a shark, 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.640 I mean really, your only real goal. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.400 Is to eat, yeah, top of the food chain. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:42.880 Right, So LB the pronoun shark, and now perhaps Danny 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.960 the diversity dolphin. When we look at Danny d a 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:54.000 n I e. Daney, Danny the dolphin or Danny. 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.880 Why does this have to be so hard? You know, 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.880 I don't know why. Why students started. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.440 Their school in nineteen twenty seven they named their mascot. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.679 I don't think anybody's upset. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.240 It's a JC. You're gone in two years. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.919 Like strong student push diversity and inclusion. What is this viking? 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.440 What is this raping and pillaging that he's doing? 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:22.920 I appreciate. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.800 I think we can all appreciate the effort and the 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.359 ability to rally for a cause. But let's maybe just 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:32.560 you know, there's. 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.680 Got to be a better cause, yes than Danny or 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:40.120 Danny the Diversity Dolphin. Just imagine you know, your little 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.320 kids go to an event in Long Beach. You got 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.839 Danny the Diversity Dolphin and LB the pronoun Shark. They'll 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.279 never know about the tough and rough forty nine er 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.159 and the hardcore Viking from nineteen twenty seven. And it's 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.680 totally a that's a pretty good reaction time for the 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:57.360 number of the day. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.479 Here's my number of the day. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:07.880 Well, your number of the dayp is twelve hundred ninety seven. 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:13.840 And much like the Bob Schmidt promo suggests, the Petros 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.120 and Money Show will always find a way to take 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:17.760 a shot. 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.440 Yes, we will shot to be taken. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.280 Get him out of here, get him money here. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:30.320 At Lebron, James, this is it might look. Is it 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:31.160 a coincidence? 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:32.240 Maybe? 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.440 I don't think Lebron set out in the contest last 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:41.919 night against the Raptors to score less than double digit points. 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.520 And I'm not saying that Craig Carton is the freaking 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.160 Today Show or Good Morning America. But I think we 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:55.279 know that Lebron has got some serious rabbit ears. And 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.720 if you want to take a listen here to Carr. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.120 I believe his show is broadcast on FS one, So 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.800 it's certainly possible that Lebron had it on. Was maybe 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.000 watching a little sports the night before, wakes up, here's 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.480 this rant, and it plants the seat. 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:12.239 Why are you in the game? 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.240 And then it dawns on me why he's in the 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.200 game with six and a half minutes to go. It 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.800 wasn't about trying to lead a comeback and trying to 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.679 win the game. It was about ego. It was about 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.160 stat padding, which is what he's most famous for. So 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.040 Lebron James has a streak of scoring ten points or 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:36.560 more in one thousand, two hundred, now ninety seven games, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.320 which is absurd, obviously, right, great streaks. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.320 It's great if it were real. 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.080 All right, we mean, so last night he's sitting on 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.960 seven points, all right, and there's six and a half 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.200 minutes to go, and the streak's gonna come to an end. 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.240 So rather than do the right thing for his health 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.040 if he does have a bad foot, rather than do 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.760 the right thing for his team, and that is protect 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.840 your foot in your health. Lebron James stays on the 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.440 court until he gets those ten points, and he makes 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.920 a three to get to ten, and as soon as 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.000 he got to ten the next whistle he takes himself 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.080 out of the game because the streak is intact, and 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.440 the streak clearly is more important to him than being 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.360 available for the next Laker game, than being available for 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.080 five Laker games from now, you know, to be available 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.920 to play in sixty games for the Lakers, because he 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.720 missed so many games early on, and that kind of 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.320 sums up Lebron James to me in a nutshell. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.160 It's not about the team. 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.800 It's not about comeback and trying to steal the victory 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.320 down by twenty some odd points, which is not going 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.280 to happen with six minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Obviously, 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:49.920 it's about me. It's about my legacy, it's about my streak. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:57.200 So Carton, very you know detailed in his analysis, points 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.360 out that Lebron has had this twelve hundred night, ninety 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.480 six game streak of at least ten points. It's a 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.600 dumbass streak in the first place. Who the hell. Nobody says, hey, 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.480 did that guy score ten points in that game? 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.840 Wow? What a great game he had? He scored ten points? 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.840 Yeah, well, who was aware of this? Why did anybody care? 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.440 Oh? I would assume Lebron's people were aware of it. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.680 But this is all kinds of gets not like he 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.440 plays in every game, like who cares? 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.320 So twelve hundred and ninety six games, going into that 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.160 contest against the Suns, Lebron had scored at least ten points. 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.280 And it's actually a pretty big storyline in the gambling 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:39.200 world where people will PLoP fifteen grand down to that 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.920 Lebron will score at least ten points to win, like 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.240 fifty to win four hundred bucks, they'll risk fifteen k. 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.280 So last night someone probably lost ten grand or fifteen 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.319 grand or something like that, because people do this every 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.959 single Lebron James game and they win like five hundred bucks. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.520 But Cardinal, as you heard there, pointed out this guy 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.240 was done, the game was over. He's been nursing an 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.480 ankle injury and a back injury and sciatica and all that, 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.480 and yet he's out there with the team down thirty points, 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.880 and the second he gets his tenth point he checks out. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:12.920 Get him out of here. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.720 He's out of the game. I got my ten points. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.280 I'm at twelve ninety seven consecutively. It's the dumbest streak 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.079 in basketball. And now I can go sit down and 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.120 my team can lose by twenty. Well, wouldn't you know? 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:31.280 After that got some traction. The very next game, Lebron 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:35.319 James snaps his streak and he scores but eight points 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:40.040 last night, four of seventeen, zero of five from three. 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.080 Do I think it was intentional? I don't know. Could 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.440 he have driven the basket on the game winner that 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.320 he instead kicked to Ruy. They weren't down three, it 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.640 was a tie, game really was open. He hits the bucket, 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.880 they win the game, really celebrates with the other three 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.640 guys on the floor, because Lebron James didn't join the 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.480 scrum to celebrate with Ruie. Instead, he just walked by 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.720 himself with his hands in the air for delivering the 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.160 game winning assist that was on the other side. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.559 Of the court that moment. Yes, but. 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:20.040 It is hard to believe that Carton Who's whose rant? 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.400 His message did get quite a bit of following in 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.760 traction on social media over the last couple of days. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.000 So even if he didn't see it on the FS one, 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.840 he very well could have seen it on his Instagram 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.400 feed or his Twitter feed or something along those lines, 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.839 because it was getting passed around because of how he 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.080 immediately checked out after getting his tenth point. And wouldn't 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.600 you know, Lebron is now out for this game against 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.440 the Celtics tonight with an ankle injury, So there is 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.280 that as well coincidence. Maybe I'm gonna go with no, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.000 but at least that dumb ass streak that people had 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.400 been talking about as though it was something that ought 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:54.199 to be celebrated. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.680 He gave up the streak games. He gave up the 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.240 streak to make a dime to. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:03.120 Rui and then celebrate by himself as Ruy was mobbed 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.559 by his teammates. Way to go, Lebron, Way to go. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.760 There's always some weird behind the scenes, meaning there's always 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:17.360 some stupid media agenda, Like it's just terrible between Lebron 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.640 and ESPN and the SEC, everything's the worst. Like I'm 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:22.920 so tired of everybody. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.959 Well and Danny the Dolphin. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.440 Danny, I think, sorry, Dan, I don't know, I don't know, 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:29.839 Matt I don't know what. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.319 I don't listen. Danny is not Da Nie, that's for sure, 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.599 so maybe you're right. It's at Danny, Danny, Danny. 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:42.719 The Diversity Dolphin.

It's like a radio station. Now 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:11.440 he's been a radio. 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.520 I just s pop that tile. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.840 It's right there on the front of your iHeartRadio app. 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.200 And you're gonna want to make sure you have it 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.160 if you're a Dodger fan, because Davessa is going to 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.120 be back with a bunch of Dodger talks as the 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.360 Winter meetings are happening right now in Orlando and a 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:33.000 lot of action Japanese players perhaps, or trades or relievers 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.320 or guys like Kyle Tucker, Boba Schett. You want to 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.800 stay on top of all of that, and you can 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.000 do that by subscribing to AID the Petros and Money 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.800 Show and b Dodger Talk. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.400 All right, mad, it is time for the college whip whack. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.840 ESPN was doing damage control earlier this week for the 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.760 bad publicity it got from the media critics over how 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.600 the College Game Day commentators stops short of criticizing Lane Kiffin. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:05.680 Two conflicts were in play Matt first, Lane Kiffin abandon 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:11.240 a playoff team, and the two most solid football men 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.720 on the desk, kerb Street and Sabin, both said out 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.640 loud on the show that Lane should leave old MSS 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.040 for LSU, but still be allowed to coach the Rebels 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.640 in the playoff. Lane and Saban are both represented by 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:28.280 college football's biggest agent, Jimmy Sexton. It was Sexton who 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.600 pushed Sabin to hire Lane as an assistant ten years 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:36.040 ago in Barama, and herb Street and show host Rhys 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:41.520 Davis are represented by CAA, which employs. Jimmy said it 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.440 would have been better TV if a couple people on 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:49.120 the panel would have just told the truth. The other 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:54.120 conflict is more nuanced and more insulting. ESPN announcers obviously 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.240 criticize bad passes and bad coaching decisions like going for 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.720 a fourth down instead of punting, but ESPN Game Day 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.160 announcers are going to stop short of criticizing the machine 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:09.400 of the SEC the blue blood school poaching the head 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:13.680 coach from a close rival during the regular season with 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:18.080 a playoff bit in place file that under corporate synergy. 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:26.120 The ESPN publicists were red alert. Earlier this week, sports 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.320 media critics were told Saban was off limits. They placed 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.080 Rhys Davis on ESPN podcast and dance around the issue. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.960 Fowler started going on all over. It was announced yesterday 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:43.040 that somehow ESPN was able to book the new LSU 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.240 head coach Lane Kiffin on game day as a guest. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:54.080 Oh god, they will not ask him. Lane. You told 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:58.040 several media outlets that the old miss players wanted you 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.560 to coach them in the playoff. Several rebel players took 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.240 to social media and said that wasn't true. What really happened. 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.639 I don't think you're gonna hear that question. Here's wishing 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:15.120 Lane good luck at LSU. Last week's picks, we're disappointing 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:19.240 four and three. My overall record is now barely above 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:23.000 water forty five and forty three for the season. After 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:27.520 Ohio State coverage against Michigan last Saturday, I was at 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.600 four and oh was looking at a big week. But 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.200 USC's nineteen point win over UCLA. Didn't cover the twenty 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.560 one and a half Notre Dame didn't cover the thirty 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:42.040 two and a half in your game, Matt Stanford scored 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.240 those two fourth quarter touchdowns. Well, you and Berlin were 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:46.600 talking about servit. 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:47.639 Oh so great. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:51.000 So without further on the roof, So without further ado, 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:52.919 let's get to this week's picks of the college football 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:59.760 went plat Troy at eight and four and number twenty 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.800 five I James Madison eleven and one in the Sunbelt 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.760 Final four o'clock today on Espen. The Dukes are favored 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.960 by twenty three and a half. UCLA fans will get 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.320 a chance to see their new coach, Bob Chesney at work. 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.080 It was amazing that in Chesney's two seasons at James 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:21.480 Madison that he inherited a program that was riding high, 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:25.360 and he kept the program riding high despite Kurt Signetti 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.920 taking fourteen players with him to Indiana. That's a great 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:33.240 sign for UCLA that Chesney can immediately manage an unfamiliar 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.960 roster at a new program. Now, I don't know any 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.400 players on either team, but I do know JMU won 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.680 every home game by double digits. The JMU win and 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:49.240 a Virginia loss could send the Dukes to the CFP playoffs, 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:53.359 and that would delay Chesney's arrival to Westwood. I'm taking 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:58.479 James Madison minus the twenty three and a half Dukes 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.600 number twenty four in North Texas eleven and one at 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:08.280 number twenty two lane ten and two in the AAC 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:13.359 final five o'clock to day on ABC, the Mean Green 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.200 are favored by two and a half. Bob Chesney isn't 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.359 the only lame duck coaching this weekend. Florida's new coach, 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.879 John Sumrawl is hoping to finish his tenure at two 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:30.440 lane with a CFP playoff Berth. The Green Wave has 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.080 to slow down the Mean Green's amazing pass offense. The 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.120 architect of that offense, Eric Morris, is another lame duck 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:41.399 coach who will be moving on to Oklahoma State. The 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:43.600 most high profile player in this game is the two 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:47.080 lane quarterback Jake rehtz Laugh, who played his high school 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.840 ball at Matt Logan's Corona Centennial Football Factory. He has 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.840 passed for fourteen touchdowns and run for fourteen this season. 0:19:55.920 --> 0:20:00.360 Most schools are still alive for the CFP A win 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.879 in the championship game would likely secure two LEN a 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.359 spot in the playoff as the highest ranked group of five. 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.800 Team North Texas would need a win and losses by 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.560 Virginia and James Madison to be considered. I'm taking the 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:15.639 Green Wave over the mean Green plus two and a 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:25.280 half UNLV ten and two at Boise State eight and 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:32.000 four in the Mountain West Final tonight on Fox Broncos 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.720 favored by five and a half. The Mountain West Championship 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.920 Game was decided with a four way tiebreaker because New Mexico, 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:44.480 San Diego State, Boise and UNLV all finished with six 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.280 and two conference records. The Mountain West would tie break 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:55.439 formula use a combo of four different computer rankings. I 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:57.960 like the effort to use the computers instead of a 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.000 bunch of people in four seasons in an omelet mark. 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.440 It's a hell of an omleipar though they got crab. 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:05.719 Really put you in the right frame of mind when 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:07.240 you want to start ranking these teams. 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:07.560 Hi. 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.440 I dined with the committee ones. 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.119 Oh, it was delicious. 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:15.800 The twelve team Mountain West will look different next season. 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.919 San Diego State, Fresno State, Colorado State, Utah State, and 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.480 Boise are all leaving for the Pac twelve, but as 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.320 far as this game goes, Boise has more bona fides 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:29.480 and experience. I like the swagger in confidence UNLV brings. 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:32.760 Boise beat the Rebels in a game that I did 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.639 earlier this year on the blue turf, fifty six to 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:41.359 thirty one, but Boise had a healthy quarterback. It's a 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.560 rematch of last year's Mountain West Championship game. Boise won 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.720 that game when they had Ashton genty with temperatures in 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.600 the forty and ran in the forecast. Give me the 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:58.400 Reps plus the five and a half Black b Yu 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.800 eleven eleven and one versus Number four Texas Tech eleven 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:08.280 and one in the Big twelve Final, nine am Saturday, 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:12.479 NBC from the Jerry Jones Dallas Palace. Red Raiders are 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.919 favored by twelve and a half. These teams met a 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:19.119 month ago in Lubbock. It was an absolute Red Raiders 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.280 beat down the Cougars only game two hundred and fifty yards. 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:26.680 They had three turnovers. Bear Bachmeyer looked like a freshman, 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:31.200 and besides getting crushed, they didn't really pass the eyeball test. 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:36.320 In the Body Language World BYU got an emotional lift 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.879 earlier this week when klode Zetaki confirmed he'd be staying 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:45.560 in Provo. But the Texas Tech defense looks like an 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:50.520 NFL team sort of. They're two worst games this season. 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:52.960 They lost twenty six to twenty two at Arizona State, 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.040 which you pointed out earlier this week, Matt, and they 0:22:56.680 --> 0:23:00.479 won forty three to twenty at Kansas State. Those are 0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:04.600 the only two games they've allowed twenty points. Now, we're 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:09.320 openly pro Bachmeyer on this show, but it ain't happening 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:10.160 this time around. 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:10.760 Texas. 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.280 Come on, Sataki, stay in. We got all the crumble 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:14.120 cookies we want. 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:17.080 Mark my words, Texas Tech's going to be a tough 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:20.080 out in the playoff. I got the Red Raiders guns 0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:22.959 up on the plains of West Texas twelve and at 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:32.760 half points, you're given take the Raidersla Georgia Bama. 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.080 How about this show down? Papendekis dead with. 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:39.359 It for God's sakes, Well, well, I led you know 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:40.280 I'm trying to do it there. 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.280 Hook them in and then they stick right to the UNLV. 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:48.200
