1
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Expertise is so easily gained these days. Have you noticed

2
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: that something happens in the world of politics, something happens

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: halfway around the world, all of a sudden, everyone's a

4
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: geopolitical expert, and in our world everyone's an expert on

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: sign stealing. Now you see this cup in front of me.

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: By the way, if you're listening on podcasts, does that

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: sound like a chalice? It does not. The chalice is

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: dutifully parked off to my left. But this is just

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: a pure black coffee kind of show that we have

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: in front of us, you know, the kind that detectives drink.

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: We are jam packed high type a very suspicious downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, October twenty fourth, the year of Our Lord,

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. What is happening at Michigan? How much

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: trouble is Michigan in? Could this be a big nothing

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: Burger buzz phrase of the decade? Nothing? Well, we will

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: dissect this tonight. I will give you several thoughts because

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I have some I think, maybe some that haven't been

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: packaged up and presented at least the way that I'm

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: seeing it elsewhere. So I'm going to talk about that. You,

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: of course know it's Tuesday night. That means it is

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: full on Week nine prediction time. We've got several big

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: games to break down. I got countum one, two, three,

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 1: four Chaos teams to talk to you about. And also,

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: there's this big story, not the Michigan story. No, there's

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: this big story bubbling right now, and I've talked to

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: you about it in different shapes and forms for the

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: entirety of the time I've been here, and it's happening

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: right before our eyes. And because so much is happening

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: and everyone's distracted, no one's talking about it. It couldn't be

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: us like Paper Pop City later in the show, because

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: we've got some things happening that are shaping the sport.

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: And I don't want you to be unaware they're watching

33
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: us in Shippensburg, PA, Parish, Florida, Addison, Alabama, Queenstown, New Zealand.

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Make sure, because I didn't remind

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: you last show, make sure you're following on the socials

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: at late Kick, Josh. We got some great stuff coming

37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: up this weekend, especially over on Instagram. Friday Night Lines,

38
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: of course, brought to you by FanDuel exclusively presented by

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: FanDuel Now. Friday Night lines will emanate from a hotel

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: room somewhere down in Jacksonville. But also, guys, if you

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: want behind the scenes access, I'm on the sideline every Saturday.

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm outside the locker rooms. I'm there when teams get

43
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: off the bus. I'm on the field before they go

44
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: live with the broadcast. I get you stuff you don't

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: see anywhere else. I have nothing else to do, why not?

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: And it's in the Instagram story literally every Saturday. It's

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: just loaded up with stuff and vantage points that you

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't get anywhere else Because I used to always want that.

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: I used to watch pro wrestling and all I wanted

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: to do was see behind the curtain. And in college football,

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: I know you get to see what's on the broadcast,

52
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: but you want to see a little bit more. Well,

53
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: that Instagram story is where to find it at late

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: kick Josh. Okay, here we go. Let's dive in. Take

55
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: the sip of black coffee. Nope, not from the chalice,

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: just from a garden variety cup we had in the kitchen.

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: So what you think, of course, by that, I mean

58
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: what you think about this Michigan thing, Colin, don't include that.

59
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: Here's your endpoint. Michigan is at the center of the

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: college football world for all the wrong reasons right now, Well,

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: I guess not all wrong reasons. They happen to be

62
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: number one in the country in the JP poll coming

63
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: later tonight. But also, what's gonna happen with Michigan. I

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: know some of you have gathered bits and pieces of

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: this story. Here's like a little twenty second version. Michigan

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: is being accused of illegally stealing other teams signs. Now,

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: everyone does it. You're gonna hear people say that every

68
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: day the rest of this investigation. Well, everybody does this.

69
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: Everybody doesn't buy tickets to go scout teams and record

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: the opposing sideline via iPhone in the stands. No, everyone

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: doesn't do that. So that's what they're accused of. That

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: is illegal. You cannot do that. Well, it's against the

73
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: NCAA by law at least, you can't do that. And

74
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of reporting on it. Dellinger and

75
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: company have had stuff. Pete Famil just put something new

76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: out on ESPN dot com a little while ago. So

77
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: my current stance on this has been a really funny

78
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: thing because my current stance has both sides thinking I've

79
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: got their back. I got Michigan folks when they hear

80
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: what I have to say saying thank you so much,

81
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what do you think I just absolved you?

82
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: And then the other side, we got basically every other

83
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Big Ten fan base with a torch in one hand

84
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: and a pitchfork in the other thinking, I'm also agreeing

85
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: with them that death is on the doorstep of Michigan athletics.

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: And so let me just tell you what I think

87
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: and I will go over several details here. Okay, So

88
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: ESPN's Pete Family just the latest reporting on this as

89
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: of the last hour, the NCAA is being presented evidence

90
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: by several Big Ten schools that Connor Stallions, who is

91
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: the somewhat shady character at the center of this investigation

92
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: from Michigan, Connor Stallions bought tickets for thirty five or

93
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: more games at seventeen different schools. Now, the big news

94
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: later this afternoon that was reported was this is not

95
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: just within the Big Ten anymore. There are schools outside

96
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: the Big Ten that Michigan perhaps was going to play.

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Think Clemson for example, think you know other teams that

98
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: they may have faced in the College Football Playoff that

99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: this dude was also buying tickets to games of and

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: the entire premises. You buy tickets, you put whoever you're

101
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: gonna put in those seats. They take their fancy phone

102
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: and they zoom in on the other side and they

103
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: just record the sideline. All right, Now, what does that

104
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: lead to? It leads to an unfair advantage, and therefore

105
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: it's banned. You can't do it. You can't use electronics

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: to be gathering signals, and you especially can't be planting

107
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: people in the stadiums that feature teams you're gonna play

108
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: in the future. Like if you are not caught up already,

109
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: that's what's going on. So oh nose itches. So anytime

110
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: there's a scandal in major college athletics these days, you

111
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: get hot Twitter evidence. I don't call it x yet,

112
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: so you get hot Twitter evidence. Jesse, do we have

113
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: the latest hot Twitter evidence that's making its rounds today.

114
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: So this is footage from field level of Ohio State

115
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 1: playing Michigan last year, and you see Ohio States checking

116
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: out of a play and Michigan's look into the sidelines

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: and what you have over there is you have Connor

118
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: Stallions parked right in the ear of Jesse mentor the

119
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and the insinuation is they know pass is coming. Now.

120
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: For the record, this next play resulted in an Ohio

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: State touchdown, So if that was the case, it turned

122
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: out that it didn't go Michigan's way. The game went

123
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: Michigan's way. But this is hot Twitter evidence today. I'm

124
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: being told this is evidence, this proves something that doesn't

125
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: prove anything, nor does this picture prove anything. This is

126
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: where the Michigan folks start to think I have their back.

127
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you the truth. What you see here

128
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcast, is Connor Stallion's hand holding

129
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: a laminated sheet and it quite literally has cartoon figures

130
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: that represent different hand signals that could be being given.

131
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: I have very little doubt what that is is a

132
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: guide for opposing team's signals and an easily decipherable guide.

133
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: They're on the sideline so they can know what's coming.

134
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: I have no doubt about that, just like I have

135
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: no doubt the video we just saw shows the dude

136
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: reading the opposing team signals and helping the coordinator get

137
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: the right play in or at least trying to. I

138
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: have no doubt about that. That is not the smoking

139
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: gun you're looking for here. You're looking for the fact

140
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: that that information was obtained through illegal channels. That's what

141
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: you're looking for. That video doesn't show you any of that.

142
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: That video doesn't show you anything more than any other

143
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: staff does. A pretty much every major staff has got

144
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: a guy parked on their sideline. You don't know their

145
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: names right now, but pretty much every staff has someone

146
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: over there. George's got one, Bama's got one, Ohio State's

147
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: got one. They all got them, and their job is

148
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: to pick up signals and their job is to gain

149
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: a competitive advantage. I mean, this is not even the

150
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: first time you guys have heard about this. I don't

151
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: know if it made its way into the mainstream because frankly,

152
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: I can't remember which stories have and have it broke.

153
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: Clemson was notorious for this when brent Venables was at Clemson,

154
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: everybody was paranoid about it. Now, what we didn't ever

155
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: hear was Brenton Venables bought tickets for thirty five different

156
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: games and seventeen venues and obtain that information illegally. So

157
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: my point is you got to bring me that. Now.

158
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: It may sound like I'm very cautious on this, I

159
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: am very cautious on it because I've seen this happen before.

160
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: I have seen there be an axe to grind against

161
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: a person or a university. I have seen a lot

162
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: of hatred towards a person or a university. And you

163
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: just kind of hear what you want to hear, and

164
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: then your mind puts the rest of the puzzle pieces

165
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: together and you crystallize worst case scenario for that hated

166
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: entity in your mind. And so there are a lot

167
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: of folks out there who have no doubt that Michigan

168
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: is going to crater into the ground in the not

169
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: too distant future. So I'm not there yet in terms

170
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: of being sure. And I take this microphone, you know,

171
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: I take a fair amount of responsibility as to what

172
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: I utter into it, believe it or not, because I

173
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: know it resonates a little bit. And so I'm not

174
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: going to be that guy tonight. Well that's the part

175
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: that I want to point out to you, because that

176
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: part where I'm saying, I personally like me sitting here personally,

177
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: I haven't seen enough to determine that, Hey, Michigan screwed.

178
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: That is taken to me, well, at least carrying water

179
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: for Michigan, I'm not at all. Here's the follow up.

180
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: Having said everything I just said, there is no way

181
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: details are done emerging on this. No way. I've got

182
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: several thoughts on it. First thing I think is I

183
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: think they did it. That's the first thing I think.

184
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't have proof of it, though I think they

185
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 1: did it. Second thing is, you guys can hate on

186
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: the Pete famils of the world all you want to.

187
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: You can go back to like the Mantai Tao days

188
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: and point out where he got a story wrong. I

189
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: can point to five hundred examples where he nailed one

190
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: as well. So Pete Thamil's not the dude who's reputation

191
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: or veracity of reporting you probably want to be going

192
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: up against. And when I'm reading his work today and

193
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: he's saying the NCAA is being sent over an hour

194
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: of film specific surveillance footage of people in the seats

195
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: that were purchased by Connor Stallion's recording the opposing sidelines.

196
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: When I hear that there are double digit big ten

197
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: member institutions cooperating and sending in evidence. I don't doubt that,

198
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's true. I think they did it.

199
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: I think Michigan's going to be in a lot of trouble.

200
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you on my desk right now as

201
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: we sit here on Tuesday night, and at seven ten,

202
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen that. So you know, I'm not stamping

203
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: it because I'm not the one reporting it. I'm all

204
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: most certain though what is being reported will be corroborated

205
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: and backed up officially as part of the evidence they

206
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: gather in this investigation. Sounds like that's gonna ramp up

207
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: a lot more next week, so I'm gonna take away

208
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: and see approach on that. But the crux of all this,

209
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm a Michigan fan, I feel like

210
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: the whole world's out to get me. They are. I

211
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people have an axe to

212
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: grind against me and my head coach. They do. You're

213
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: not wrong about that, but that's not how you dismiss

214
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: the claims. You dismiss the claims by proving they're false.

215
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't really care how many people hate you. I

216
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: don't really care how many people have axes to grind

217
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: is what they're saying true. That's all that matters. The

218
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: government uses horrifically flawed people to turn state's evidence all

219
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: the time. It doesn't matter if they're terrible, it doesn't

220
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: matter if they themselves are criminals. It matters if what's

221
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: coming out of their mouth is true. Oftentimes those with

222
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: axes to grind are the most motivated truth tellers. Not

223
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: all the time, but sometimes that's the way it works.

224
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Another thing I think is it's it's become pretty popular

225
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: on message boards the last few days to just assume

226
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: that you know the source or the sourcing maybe multiple

227
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: sources that for lack of a better term, rated you out.

228
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be so sure about that. I wouldn't be

229
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: I've just watched this play out too many times in

230
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: the past and then gotten privy on the back end

231
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: to some information. Not in this case yet, but going

232
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: off past history, you know, I've been part on the

233
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: front end of that widely held narrative of just assuming

234
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: you know who's responsible for diming someone out, and then

235
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: you get the curtain peeled back couple of years later

236
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: after it's died down, and you find out, Wow, I

237
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: wasn't even close. The public wasn't even close on this,

238
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: and this detail will never come out. I strongly suspect

239
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: these details will never come out, and so it'll just

240
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: widely be assumed that Ryan Day has been texting back

241
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: and forth with reporters all day, and you'll just widely

242
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: be assumed that Ohio State's at the center of this.

243
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: I get why people think that I can't prove you wrong.

244
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: You can't prove your right, though I don't think you

245
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: can prove you right either. Plausible deniability is a concept

246
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: I think pretty much everyone gets. This is me turning

247
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: the page for a second. Plausible deniability is that thing

248
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: where if you're at the top of something and you

249
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you can reasonably and truthfully

250
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: one day say I didn't know you. Make sure you

251
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: have people underneath you who are handling the dirty work

252
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: and who don't need to be in your ear every

253
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: five minutes asking you for permission. Should I do this?

254
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: Should I not do that? You got to have soldiers

255
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: who carry out the game plan side unseen questions, unasked. Well,

256
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: that is a concept as old as time. That's not

257
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: something new that all of a sudden, if you're practicing

258
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: and CAA investigators run into and say, oh, man, they

259
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: had plausible deniability figured out I guess harbought it, and no,

260
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: they got you nailed either way. If the report is true,

261
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: They've got you nailed either way because either you did

262
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: know and you lied, or you didn't know and you're

263
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: doing a terrible job of leading a program. Because if

264
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: you didn't know, that means you didn't know what your

265
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: own staff was doing. They invented that whole lack of

266
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: institutional control thing to kind of circumvent you thinking you

267
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: had them gamed with plausible deniability. So, thus far, all

268
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: of this is still behind closed doors. Evidence is being presented.

269
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: I as of this moment, have not personally seen anything

270
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: that makes me think Hammer's dropping on Michigan tomorrow. I have,

271
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: right along with you, read a lot of things that

272
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: indicate it could drop on them. My advice to a

273
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: Michigan fan, as hard as this may be, is just

274
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: shift into last dance mode. Just shift into enjoying the

275
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: heck out of this season. You probably got the best

276
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: team in the country right now, You're the odds on

277
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: favorite to win the national championship. You got the Heisman favorite.

278
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: I would let twenty twenty four be a cliff that

279
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: I can't even see over right now. I'm twenty twenty three,

280
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: just like Bulls fans were in ninety seven or ninety eight,

281
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: and then we'll worry about the future when it comes.

282
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: But everyone's talking about the NCAA with Michigan right now,

283
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you that's in the distance. That's twenty

284
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: twenty four at the earliest, before you ever get any

285
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: punishment from them. If you do, I'd be way more

286
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: concerned with what two other entities do to me my

287
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: own conference, because there are mechanisms that they can use

288
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: to act on swiftly if need be. And number two,

289
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: what's the College Football Playoff Committee going to have to

290
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: say about this? That's an angle I thought of as

291
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: soon as I started reading this story. Nc DOUBLEA moves

292
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: like molasses in December. I'm not worried about them. There'll

293
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: be a long way down the road. But the College

294
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: FOOTBA Playoff Commitee is about to unveil their initial rankings

295
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: next week. I think are they going to use this

296
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: as part of their criteria? Are they going to bait

297
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: that in? They've got language loose enough to where if

298
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: they really wanted to, they could hold this against Michigan,

299
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: because these people are like trying to nail jello to

300
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: a wall to begin with. So there will be methodology

301
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: at their disposal. Should they choose to punish Michigan for

302
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: this or I think they could, will they It'd be unprecedented, obviously,

303
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: But what is that committee? That committee is just a

304
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: bunch of folks from different colleges all around the country.

305
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: You think there may be some anti Michigan bias there.

306
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: You think there may be some some motivated axe grinders

307
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: in that room. That would concern me if I lived

308
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: up there in Lansing, Michigan right now. That would concern

309
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: me a lot more than the NCAA. So I say

310
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: all that to say, Thursday night, we could have a

311
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: new plate full of information. But as for now, let's

312
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: just be a little patient on it. Just because everyone's

313
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: saying the same thing at the moment doesn't make that

314
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: thing true. Or everyone could be saying the same thing

315
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: because they've all zeroed in on it and they got

316
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: the same reliable sources. Don't know because it's played out

317
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: both ways in the past, So we don't know. We'll see.

318
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if anyone wanted to tune in tonight and

319
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: just see me burn a wolverine mascot in fig No,

320
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: maybe Thursday maybe, permits pending, but we were not gonna

321
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: do that tonight because we don't have sufficient grounds with

322
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: which to do that. I'm only halfway through this coffee

323
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: too long show still to go, all right now, Tuesday

324
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: night is prediction night here, and so we're gonna do

325
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: just that Georgia, Florida. This Saturday, three point thirty eastern

326
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: kickoff CBS Game of the Week in Jacksonville. We will

327
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: be on hand the once upon a Saturday tour is

328
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: rolling down to Jacksonville. There are well. First off, there's

329
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: a beautiful T shirt available in the Pate State store

330
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: right now peatestatematerial dot com and it features this game.

331
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: We make one shirt available per week and then it's done.

332
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: It's gone. So after this Saturday, you will not find

333
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: that bad boy anymore. So I peytstatematerial dot COM's where

334
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: you want to be, Colin. Let's make an executive decision,

335
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: all right, Let's start the individual video right here, and

336
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: then I'll mention the T shirt again on the back

337
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: end so that it's it's double dipped on the YouTube channel.

338
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: If you're watching live, ignore all this. I just had

339
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: a twenty second meeting with Colin. All right, here we

340
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: go three two one sounds good. Georgia Florida this Saturday,

341
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: three thirty Eastern kickoff down there in Jacksonville. Once upon

342
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: a Saturday tour will be on hand. We'll be on

343
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: the sideline for this one. I get the sense that

344
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: there are some simplistic views forming on this game. Now.

345
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: You know, I don't take the once upon a Saturday

346
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: tour to games that I expect to be a blowout.

347
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: How do we get a close game here? Well, the

348
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: simplistic view would lead you to believe that, since Georgia

349
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: barely beat Auburn with brock Bowers, maybe, just maybe they

350
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: fall outright to Florida without brock Bowers. That's the entire

351
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: story around this game. What is Georgia like without big

352
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: tight end? There number nineteen? What do they like without him?

353
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: Who replaces brock Bowers? Is it Oscar delp Is it

354
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: lost and Lucky? Hey, that's not where you look. I

355
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: know those are the tight ends. That's not the answer

356
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: to the question who replaces brock Bowers? The answer is

357
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: team wide. A linebacker could step up, a strong safety

358
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: could step up, a slot receiver could step up. The

359
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: point is, collectively, that team has to elevate its game,

360
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: and there are some position units on that team that

361
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: if needed to elevate their game, even if brock Bawers

362
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: is still there, to win a championship and to maximize

363
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: this team's potential, which I think is championship caliber. So

364
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: it isn't limited to the tight end room. That's the

365
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: first thing. A simplistic view. Number two on this game

366
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: is it's all about Graham Mertz. If Florida is gonna win,

367
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: it's all about Graham Mertz. Well, I'm not so sure

368
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: that's true either. I think about Graham Mertz being the

369
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterback there. I know he's the most important player

370
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: on Florida's team. What's the rest of the offense around

371
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: him going to allow him to do? Everyone's all high

372
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: off that win over South Carolina on the road, which

373
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: has to be calibrated, and you need to understand any

374
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Florida win on the road lately has been a big deal.

375
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: So you may look at it and say, big deal.

376
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: You beat South Carolina by too it is a big

377
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: deal because it was in October and it was on

378
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: the road, so it is a big deal. But paper

379
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: pop time. Graham Mertz twenty seven quarterback hurries in that game,

380
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: albeit in a win, four sacks. Jacob Rudner over at

381
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: Swamp twenty four to seven has some good literature on

382
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: that game today to put it in the proper perspective.

383
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: George's ninety fourth in sacrate nationally defensively, so they haven't

384
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: gotten after the quarterback and gotten him to the ground

385
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: as much as they may like. But they are going

386
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: to be able to affect him all afternoon Saturday, or

387
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: at least I think they'll be able to now over

388
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: on the Georgia side, I gotta think Kirby and his

389
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: offensive staff went and watched that Kentucky Florida game and

390
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: have to be thinking to themselves, if Kentucky ran it

391
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: for nine point one yards per carry, surely our ground

392
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: game can come alive here. I mean, Kentucky sliced Florida

393
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: nine ways from Saturday. Georgia five point one yards per

394
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: carry this year, that's top twenty five, that's twenty fourth nationally.

395
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: They got to be thinking to themselves, well, if Bowers

396
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: is out. No need to take massive risk here, We'll

397
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: just run the ball to whin. I think a blind

398
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: man can see that approach coming. If it works, it works,

399
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: and that's the end of the preview. If it doesn't work,

400
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: or if they have moderate success on the ground, well,

401
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: then what you have to have is you have to

402
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: have Carson Beck make good decisions. I mean, where does

403
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: that get him? By the way, even if they run

404
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 1: the ball fairly well, what does Georgia set itself up

405
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: like on third down? Consistently Saturday afternoon, Florida's defense is

406
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: tenth in the country on third down. Defense is one

407
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,479
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteenth in the country in sacks. So it

408
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like those two stats really mesh together very well.

409
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: What that says to me is, when I get to

410
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: third down, if I'm Mike Bobo, I'm not hesitating to

411
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: let Carson Beck make some decisions back. I'm not hesitating

412
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. They haven't gotten home enough. Florida

413
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten home enough. There is no reason for me

414
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: to think all of a sudden, their defense and pass

415
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: rush will find itself against me. I'm Georgia. I got

416
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: a good offensive line, I've recruited very well and I

417
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: trust my guys and my quarterback, although he's a first

418
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: year starter, is more than halfway through the season coming

419
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: out of the bye week. Now this is the Florida game.

420
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: We can't hide our quarterback yet again. It comes down

421
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: to a quarterback having to make plays to win a game.

422
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: Biggest area that has to flip here if we're going

423
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: to see an upset, biggest area that has to flip.

424
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: Florida's offense is one hundred and ninth in the country

425
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: on third down conversion rate. Georgia is the best defense

426
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: in America on third down. So that's what has happened?

427
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: Is it what will happen? Let's take a look at

428
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: what Vegas thinks. Fan duel currently Georgia minus fourteen and

429
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: a half. Fan duel currently over under forty seven and

430
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 1: a half on this game. But the Pate State model

431
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: has Georgia minus fifteen, so we kind of agree pretty much.

432
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: Think the number is spot on. I'm going to split

433
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: the difference. I'm gonna take Georgia to win. I think

434
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Florida will have a very inspired effort here, and I'm

435
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, I was at the Auburn game, and I

436
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: saw Georgia struggle to win much less pull away. And

437
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: that's away from home. This is technically away from home.

438
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: It's a fifty to fifty crowd split down there. I

439
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: think Florida is gonna put up enough of a fight

440
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: where they're in this game, and so I'm gonna take

441
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: Florida to cover. I will take Georgia to win Florida

442
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: plus fourteen and a half over there at FanDuel. It's

443
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: what I will take, though, and we will be on

444
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: hand to witness all the festivities. We've got a big

445
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: production down there. This week. We're taking Uncle Dennis. Emily

446
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 1: Proud is joining the Once upon a Saturday to our

447
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: whomestead of thunk it to Apostrophes in whomstead of and

448
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: a crew and cast of thousands. And remember now, some

449
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: of you hit me up Sunday night when we announced

450
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: this destination. Hey where's the T shirt? Where's the T shirt? Well,

451
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: we put it in the store Monday morning, so peatestatematerial

452
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: dot com it has the shirt there now, in all

453
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: of its glory. And I'm telling you this twice because

454
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: it's gone after Saturday. Also, upon popular demand, we have

455
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: added hats and the first ever Peate State hoodie in

456
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: the Peate State store too, And those things feel like

457
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: a furnace when you put them on. I've never had

458
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: heat retained like I've had when I put one of

459
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: those things on. I'm not typically a hoodie guy. But

460
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: number one since it had my own branding on it,

461
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: and number two since it was a little chili in

462
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: my apartment the other day because the heat stopped working.

463
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: Poverty vibes I put it on kept me warm, can

464
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: keep you warm as well. Peatestatematerial dot com we had

465
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: someone concerned the other day. We here at Peyt State

466
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: have a very familial vibe. And you know, as one

467
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: of us hurt, we all hurt. As one of us celebrate,

468
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: we all celebrate. And as one of us shop at

469
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: Academy in Sports and Outdoors, we all shop there. And

470
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: so one of you saw a FanDuel come on board

471
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: the other day and you said, wait a second, is

472
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: this it for Academy. No, No, it's not it for

473
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: Academy totally not only totally different lanes, those are totally

474
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: different interstates. Academy is our ride or die. Look at us,

475
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: we're just linked arm in arm with them. And they

476
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: pretty much have everything you need. I don't even care

477
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: what your tailgate scene looks like. I know they've got

478
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: you covered. I know they got your grill if you

479
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: need that. I know they got your canopy if you

480
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: need that. I know they have a ten thousand dollars

481
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: gift card they're ready to give one of you and

482
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: SEC Championship Game tickets. Please pay attention, listen to how

Speaker 1: win a ten thousand Academy gift card. The ones I

Speaker 1: give away are twenty. I think ten thousand dollars is wild?

00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: What does that card look like? By the way, plus

487

Speaker 1: SEC Championship Game tickets. Just sign into the Academy app.

488
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: That's all you have to do is Sweepstakes runs through

489
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: November eighteenth. NOE purchase necessary, Jesse, I didn't write it down,

490
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: so let's try and remember this is not available in

491
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: New York, Hawaii, Alaska, or California. Is that right? Nailed it?

492
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: You can find the full rules at Academy dot com

493
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: backslash official rules. Look at that nothing but good news.

494
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: Nothing but good news, and you still don't have to

495
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: pay a dime for the show. Let's move on. We

496
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: got more games to predict. I told you earlier tonight.

497
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: There's a story that that has nothing to do with

498
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: Michigan just bubbling beneath the surfaces, like right under our noses,

499
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think enough people who are taking notice.

500
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about it later tonight, But

501
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: in the meantime, I'll go ahead and finish this coffee. Yep,

502
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: she's done, and Ohio State plays Wisconsin Saturday. This game

503
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: looked a lot bigger preseason than it does now, but

504
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: the model in Vegas way detached on this one, so

505
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: it bears breaking down. This is a Saturday seven thirty

506
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: Eastern kickoff on NBC. There is an age old internet

507
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: philosophy when it comes to college football. This philosophy was

508
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: born on message boards, and the philosophy is if fan

509
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: bases aren't focused, there's a concern that the team may

510
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: not be focused. Now, the general public has always been

511
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: sharply divided on this. Some people think, if your local

512
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: message board isn't focused on your upcoming opponent, that's just

513
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: a reflection of how the entire program feels. And then

514
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: there are other people who think, no, No, a football

515
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: player thinks totally different than fans do well. I don't

516
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: really have a strong feel on this either way, but

517
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: I hope the latter is right when it comes to

518
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: Ohio State, because I took it upon myself have to

519
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: go over to bucknuts dot com earlier today and I

520
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: counted thirteen threads about the Michigan investigation and one about Wisconsin.

521
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: You people better get your minds right, or conversely, what

522
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: you think has no bearing on the game whatsoever, and

523
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: you can talk amongst yourselves about whatever you want. I

524
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: got some trivia, paper popping trivia. It's very simple. Who's

525
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for Wisconsin? Jeopardy music? Jeopardy music exactly?

526
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: It's Braiden Locke. What that's not Tanner Mordecai, No friend.

527
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Tanner

528
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: Mordecai is out with a hand injury, I believe injury

529
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: of some kind. And Braiden Locke is in b R

530
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: E y D y N And I don't know country

531
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: of origin. Can I use it in a sentence? I

532
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: don't know. There is an E on the end of

533
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: his last name, Jesse. Okay, so we had this wrong

534
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: in our pre show meeting. This is the attention to

535
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: detail that you have come to expect from the kind

536
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: of show that told you. For example, Alabama already has

537
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: a conference loss the other day even though they don't. Yes,

538
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: I got corrected on that, so my apologies. Anyway, This

539
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: is a red shirt freshman, Brandon Locke. He is a

540
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: former three star number twenty five quarterback in the twenty

541
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: twenty two cycle. Right on brand. He's already transferred once

542
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: from Mississippi State to Wisconsin. Now. He started against Illinois.

543
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: That's the last game they played. Twenty one forty one,

544
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, two hundred and forty yards passing, and they

545
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: came from behind. I think they were down twenty one

546
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: to seven, so they came back. They were on the

547
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: Raminudle Express because all we do is bet backup quarterbacks.

548
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: Having said all that, this is a Braylen Allen game

549
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: running back there for Wisconsin. He needs to shine. He's

550
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: averaged five point nine yards per cauror this year. He's

551
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: second in the Big Ten in rush yards per game.

552
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: He's got to get it done Saturday. Everybody knows that

553
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State can't be loose. That's what they can't be.

554
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: They can be tight. I don't really even care if

555
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State plays tight. They can't be loose. Those turnovers,

556
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: shaved possessions on one end, added possessions on the other end,

557
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: hidden yardage, special teams, nonsense. That's how Wisconsin wins this thing.

558
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: You know how else they win it? Luke Fickle, that's

559
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: how else they win it. He knows a thing or

560
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: ten about Ohio State. So you the looser you are,

561
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: the longer you let them hang around. It's their home stadium.

562
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: We'll see. I'll show you what the model thinks in

563
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: the second I was gonna spoil it there. Ohio State

564
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: needs to find its ground game though. Speaking of which

565
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: units need to take over, what if I told you

566
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State's one hundred and first in the country in

567
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: rush yards per game, you'd probably tell me rush yards

568
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: per game doesn't matter when it's one oh one in

569
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: the country, it does a little bit now, Ryan Day

570
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: says traveon Henderson. Among several players they expect back this week,

571
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: I think Burke they expect back, Agbuka they expect back.

572
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: So it looks like they're going and closer to being

573
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: full speed here. Wisconsin defensively is a team you can

574
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: run on sixty fourth in the country in run yards

575
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: per game given up. But Ohio State man two point

576
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry. That's what they've averaged the last

577
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: four games. But they're still undefeated. Got to pick it up.

578
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: Still undefeated up Wisconsin's defense twentieth in points per game allowed.

579
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: The pull away potential here I think is low. Ohio

580
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: State famously has already played Notre Dame and didn't score twenty.

581
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: They played Penn State last week they scored twenty. They

582
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: in those two games have combined for thirty seven points.

583
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: I think it was so. I mean they're averaging like

584
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: they're averaging in the teams in those two games. Is

585
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: this the kind where they're gonna hang forty? I don't

586
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: necessarily think so. And the Luke Fickle factor matters here.

587
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: I can't quantify how much it matters. In fact, Colin,

588
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and show them what the model says.

589
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: So the current FanDuel numbers on this game, you can

590
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: get Ohio State minus fourteen and a half right now,

591
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: and FanDuel also has the total at forty three and

592
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: a half. Again, the implied message there is we don't

593
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: expect a lot of scoring So when the spread's Ohio

594
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: State and minus fourteen and a half, what do we

595
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: need here? What do we need if that total is

596
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: roughly accurate? Man if I get thirteen, if I get

597
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: seventeen out of Wisconsin, I got a real shot here.

598
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: And the model thinks it's gonna happen. In fact, the

599
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: model has Ohio State winning by just nine. And so

600
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this, and I also know how distracted

601
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: things have potentially been up there this week, and I

602
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: know it's a letdown spot. Ohio State just played Penn State.

603
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is looking to salvage a season. At this point,

604
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: I think Wisconsin's gonna find a way to hang around

605
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: as well. And so I'm going to take Ohio State

606
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: to win. I'm going to take Wisconsin to cover, and

607
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: people will probably speak ill of Ohio State and I'll

608
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: probably be sitting here Sunday saying, Nope, survive in advance.

609
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: That's all you need to do. And that'll be that. Hi,

610
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: there's that post that I was looking for the A

611
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: block man. Oh well, so many good things on here.

612
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's one thing I forgot to ask about

613
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: the Michigan segment. Where did the money to purchase those

614
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: tickets come from, because that is making fifty five grand

615
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: a year. And while I'll grant you that's more than

616
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: I made in the fabric warehouse back in the day,

617
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: that ain't enough to be buying tickets at thirty five

618
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: different games of seventeen different venues on the forty yard line.

619
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: So inquiring minds would like to know they're watching us

620
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: in Shady Valley, Tennessee, Hughesville, Maryland. And I believe in

621
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: my own handwriting this says Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Thank you

622
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: guys so much. Not sure who you guys play Saturday,

623
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: Maybe an LSU transplant, but thank you so much. Oh.

624
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: The jpopole kind of snuck up on us here. Wow, huh.

625
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: The Michigan investigation has even overshadowed the jpeople once thought

626
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: impossible on Tuesday nights in the fall. But that that's

627
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: where we are in this country. Got some new arrivals

628
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: in the poll this week. All right, here we go, Colin.

629
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: The JP pole is here not a ranking, of course,

630
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: just a power rating. I would like to position these

631
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: teams in the order that the model would predict them

632
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: to be favored on a neutral field. Nothing more, nothing less.

633
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: If you don't get it at this point, it's not

634
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: worth explaining. Let's start at number twenty five through twenty one.

635
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 1: Florida is still where they were last week. Arizona it's

636
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: a streak now Jedfish and Company. They are rated number

637
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: twenty four. But you know what I'm happy about. I

638
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: almost want to golf clap it a little bit. The

639
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: model was very slow to come around on Missouri, but

640
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: finally Missouri is power rated number twenty three. No less

641
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: hoops amongst us would have thought this late in the year.

642
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: Missouri and USC would be right next to each other,

643
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: and both of them would be behind Miami. I don't know.

644
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: So that's where we are twenty three through twenty one.

645
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: Now I have some explaining to do. But first you

646
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: noticed conspicuous in their absence. There no TCU. No TCU. Yes,

647
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: the number twenty three team in the country last week

648
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: got predictably boat raced by Kansas State. So TCU was

649
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: the wart. It was the fly in the model's ointment.

650
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: This year, TCU's gone. We'll see all in twenty twenty four.

651
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: Let's keep it moving. North Carolina dropped to twenty. Candidly,

652
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: now I don't like to air the dirty laundry out

653
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: here between me and the model. I think North Carolina

654
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: dropped too far. North Carolina dropped three point seventy five

655
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: raw points and that was good to drop them from

656
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: eleven to twenty. I think it's a little harsh, so

657
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: I would have North Carolina up there around fourteen or fifteen.

658
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: That's just me personally. I'm not a computer. Kansas State

659
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: continues to surge. Kansas State has added six points of

660
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: value on their power rating over the last two weeks.

661
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: They were not rated last week, which they should have been.

662
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: The whole TCU Kansas State conundrum was well chronicled on

663
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: this show, and Kansas State is number seventeen now UCLA

664
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: is sixteen. I guess I should have read these so

665
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: twenty to sixteen North Carolina utah ole miss Kansas State UCLA.

666
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: I got a quick note from the model. It would

667
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: favor UCLA by two point one points on a neutral

668
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: field against usc Right now, there are five point eight

669
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: five points that separate number ten to number twenty one.

670
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: So before you talk about how wide the gap is,

671
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: number eleven should be number fourteen, number sixteen should be twelve.

672
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: It's a minuscule difference. Let's keep it rolling. Column oh,

673
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: fifteen to eleven A and M, Oregon State, Tennessee, Notre Dame,

674
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: Penn State. Didn't think Penn State would drop much. They didn't.

675
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: In fact, I think they remained unchanged. I think there

676
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: was some movement up ahead of them. The model is

677
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: still really high. Well, the model is higher on A

678
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: and M and Tennessee, for that matter, than maybe the

679
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: AP is. I don't know. I haven't looked at the

680
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: AP all week. Like I swear to you, I have

681
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: not seen it once. I would imagine A and M

682
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: is not ranked, but could be wrong. You will go

683
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: look at Bill Connolly's numbers. I haven't seen those today.

684
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: I guarantee he's got A and M a lot higher.

685
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: It's just the way that neutral field favorability would work.

686
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: It's not a ranking. I wouldn't have A and M

687
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: ranked fifteen. They don't deserve to be ranked fifteen. Move

688
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: it right along. We've got some serious movement here, serious movement.

689
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: So let me read ten to six. Oklahoma didn't move

690
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,959
Speaker 1: a whole lot. We didn't need to move them because

691
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: we didn't have him as high as everyone else did

692
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: to begin with Washington number nine. Didn't move them hardly

693
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: at all. We didn't need to. We already had them

694
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: a little bit lower than folks did to begin with.

695
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: LSU has surged. I'll get back to them in a second.

696
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: They're at eight. Texas is at seven. That is with

697
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: quinn Ewers. We have not removed Ers because it's not

698
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: a season ending injury. So it's a case by case,

699
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: week by week thing with how we will grade a game.

700
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: But we got still got Texas at seven. But how

701
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: about Florida State. You guys said the model was a

702
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: little bit off on Florida State. The model listened and

703
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: it heard you. It said, you know what, you're right,

704
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, That's what it said. It's got Florida State six.

705
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: Now back to LSU at number eight for a second.

706
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. It's been higher on

707
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: LSU for a while than the AP has. But LSU

708
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: at eight right now. Now, to be very very clear,

709
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: what the model is telling you is it would favor

710
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: LSU on a neutral field against Oklahoma tomorrow, which doesn't compute.

711
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: One of them's got two losses, one of them's undefeated.

712
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: I know, I know, you don't have to tell me.

713
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: I know, but I also think it's onto something there now.

714
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: Rankings wise, LSU should never be ahead of Oklahoma right now,

715
00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: but power rating wise, that's interesting. LSU defie latively, they

716
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: are what they are, but offensively they also are what

717
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: they are. All right, let's move it on. I'm very

718
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: interested to see because LSU's playing Bama in two weeks

719
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: and sneaking suspicion will have a good vantage point for

720
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: that game. Number five through number one is Bama five,

721
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: Oregon for Georgia three, Ohio State two, Michigan one. So

722
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: we've got Michigan, Ohio State one two, we have got

723
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: Bama number five. I ran the numbers. We would favor

724
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: Michigan by five against Alabama on a neutral field right now.

725
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: That's the gap between one and five. I think we'd

726
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: take a fair amount of Bama action on that if

727
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: we put that point spread out. That's my inclination, And

728
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: so what are our thoughts here? My thoughts are I

729
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: think North Carolina's too low. I am just I'm fascinated

730
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: by LSU because here's what could happen. What could happen

731
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: is LSU goes Tobama. Let me power rating world to you. Okay,

732
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: let's just say this is right. For the sake of argument.

733
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: Let's say universal truth is known and this is right.

734
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: LSU at eight Bama five. Okay. Let's say LSU goes

735
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: to Bama and they lose twenty seven to twenty four.

736
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: They could end up climbing one or two spots more

737
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: being a three loss team because the implication there, according

738
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: to these numbers is they should lose to Alabama. You

739
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: don't punish teams when they do what the model says

740
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: they should do. The model won't at least, and that'll

741
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: really throw folks for a loop. Like if if we

742
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: have three loss LSU above undefeated Oklahoma, that would throw

743
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: people for a loop. But I think also if you

744
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: were to get Odds makers on the record right now

745
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: and they gave you all kinds of hypothetical lines, I

746
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: think some of those would throw you for a loop.

747
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: You know, you would think to yourself, there's no way,

748
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: and then Vegas is like, no, this is what this

749
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: line would be. Actually, if we put it out right now,

750
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: it was shocked people. I don't know why, but it

751
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: would shock people. So there you go. Michigan number one

752
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: still in the Jpple FSU Big Climber up to number

753
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: six in Washington and Oklahoma there at nine and ten.

754
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: It's important to note the model itself has nothing to

755
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: do with FanDuel. Now, all the numbers we're showing on

756
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: the show now do have something to do with FanDuel.

757
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned the other day we have clasped hands with FanDuel,

758
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: talked to him for like half a year, and we

759
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: came to an agreement on some working conditions, and now

760
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: we've got a great partnership with them. All of our

761
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: odds are provided by FanDuel, and therefore I'm proud to

00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,239

765
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,800

766

00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: three thirty Eastern time on Fox College Football Playoff elimination game.

817
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: I think so, although I don't like speaking of such things.

818
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: In October, Utah has got an eighteen game home winning

819
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: street eighteen. I was there for one of them when

820
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: they played Florida this year, so I know all about

821
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: this place now. Also, I was at the Washington Oregon game,

822
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: so I've seen Oregon go on the road to hostile conditions,

823
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: and while they lost, I thought they handled the environment

824
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: about as well as they could. That Washington game. Let

825
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: me say this quietly, so as not to upset my

826
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: friends in the South. That Washington Oregon game was the

827
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: loudest game I've been to all year. Look at my phone. Okay,

828
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 1: I guess no one heard that good. It was crazy,

829
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: and so Oregon's not gonna be shaken by the environment

830
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: at Utah. They could be shaken by the team Utah

831
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: puts on the field. So here's what Utah needs the

832
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: line on the game right now, six and a half.

833
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: That's the fan dual number, Oregon minus six and a half.

834
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: Oregon's defense is top fifteen statistically against the run. So

835
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: you may think, what do you mean Utah needs that?

836
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: Utah needs that not to be true. Aha, Yes, that's correct.

837
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: They need it not to be true. So I told

838
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: producer Jesse poke holes In this just completely illegitimize this

839
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: stat and I think he may have somewhat done it.

840
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: So Oregon yet is true enough they got a top

841
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: fifteen run defense. Utah needs that to be inflated. Utah

842
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: needs to be able to run the ball here, and

843
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: it may help to know that five of the six

844
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: FBS teams Oregon has faced en route to posting that

845
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: stat have been one hundredth or worse in rush yards

846
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: per game. So translation, because we probably churched that up

847
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: a little bit too much, Oregon hadn't faced many teams

848
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 1: that can run the ball worth a crap, and therefore

849
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: their defense looks really good. Now it may just be

850
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: really good or maybe it be a little over inflated.

851
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: Utah will find out for us one way or the other,

852
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: and they better hope that's reality, because otherwise this game

853
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: sets up really well for Oregon. You got the possibility

854
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: of running the ball on them, you got home field,

855
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: and most of the other critical metrics lean Oregon. Oregan's

856
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,959
Speaker 1: offense is really good, and it may be slowed down,

857
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: it won't be stopped. Utah just scored thirty four against USC,

858
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: so everybody remembers the last thing they saw. And my

859
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: concern is, folks think Utah's offense has itself. I know

860
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: it found USC. Everyone gets right against the USC's just

861
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: like clockwork. Otherwise, point totals for Utah this year, and

862
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: some of this wasn't even offensive points twenty four, twenty fourteen, seven,

863
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: and thirty four against CAL. The fourteen and seven was

864
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: UCLA and Oregon State. Seven of the fourteen against UCLA

865
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: were defensive. So they have scored a combined fourteen offensive

866
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: points against the two teams that profile most like Oregon.

867
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna have score way more than that. Saturday home

868
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 1: or away played on Mars, You're gonna have score way

869
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: more than that, and you got the fifty seventh rated

870
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 1: pass defense in the country. So bo Nicks, bodacious bo Nicks,

871
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: probably gonna be able to do some work against you.

872
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 1: They don't turn the ball over, at least they haven't.

873
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: Oregon's lost one turnover all year, so they're not gonna

874
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: gift rapid for you. Let's take a look at what

875
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: the model thinks. Fan duel I said currently has Oregon

876
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: minus six and a half the over unders forty eight

877
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: and a half. We think Oregon's gonna win by more

878
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: than one possession, and I can't disagree with the model. Now,

879
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: we took Utah and went out right last week, so

880
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: I've gotten off the proverbial schneid when it comes to

881
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: being cursed picking Utah games. So I'm just gonna assume

882
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be right about every Utah game from here

883
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: until eternity, and I'm gonna go against them this week.

884
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: It's not a spot that's been kind to me, but

885
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go against them, and I am going to

886
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: go Oregon to win. I'm gonna go Orgon to cover,

887
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna look very very strongly at that as

888
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: a best bet. Waiting to hear one thing about that

889
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: game later in the week, and then we will probably

890
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: move on that. We'll have probably several best bets Thursday

891
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: and of course Friday night lines at Lake kick Josh

892
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: on Instagram is where you want to be for the

893
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: final word? Do I dare Colin and Jesse, do I dare?

894
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: Take this empty cup of coffee? Put it down here

895
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: not a lot of room, and then do I mix

896
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: the choice liquid in the chalice with coffee? I think

897
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: the answer is yes, yes, clearly, and we just apologize

898
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: to our tummy later. We had a really good pair

899
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: of Twitter questions today and I want to get to

900
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: both of them right now. Seth from alex City, Alabama

901
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: hit us up and said, which teams do you think

902
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: could create chaos at the end of the year. Chaos teams?

903
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: Seth wants to know about Kansas State's one look at that.

904
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't planned that I took a sip of purple

905
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: liquid right before mentioning the Wildcats, but I did take

906
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: a sip of purple liquid right before mentioning the Wildcats.

907
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: That's an Ignition team. We need to trademark that. Write

908
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: that down, Jesse. Ignition teams. We talk about it every year.

909
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: A little bit before Halloween, some team or teams that

910
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: have been left for dead just find some magic combination

911
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: of some sort of ingredients, as you would call it

912
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, Kansas Avery Johnson and boom, just boom, all

913
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 1: of a sudden, different looking team. It's like you tried

914
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: to crank the car three times in the morning and

915
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: the engine didn't turn over. And the fourth try, after

916
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: your car has lost to Missouri, after your car has

917
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: inexplicably lost to Oklahoma State, it just cranks and you

918
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 1: smoke TCU after you beat Texas Tech on the road.

919
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: And now what do we have? Why is this a

920
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: chaos team? Well, they play at Texas in two weeks

921
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: and Texas is not gonna have Quinn youewers, so they

922
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: could deal Texas their second conference loss. Texas would be

923
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes out of the playoff picture.

924
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: Kansas State would be very much alive in the Big

925
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 1: twelve championship racing. What if Kansas State is the one

926
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: who meets Oklahoma in Dallas, and what if they beat

927
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: ou as, Well, that's what we call chaos. Kansas State

928
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: chaos agent out there in the Big Twelve next up

929
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: hop on the jet. I don't know if there's going

930
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: to be a direct but we're looking to go from Manhattan,

931
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: Kansas to Coral Gables, Florida. Probably gonna need some car

932
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: service somewhere in between. Two conference losses, what are we

933
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: talking about Miami for? Well, Number one, we're talking about

934
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: them because they could be a resurgent team. They're not resurgent.

935
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: People just got a little two down on them for

936
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: our taste. That's when we picked them to beat Clemson outright.

937
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: The other thing to keep in mind is the two

938
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: losses is not the end of the world in the

939
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: ACC right now, especially after North Carolina got beat the

940
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: other night. You got one undefeated left. That's Florida State.

941
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: Miami still plays them. Miami plays Louisville. That's one of

942
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: the one loss teams Miami could actually still beat in

943
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: the conference title picture. But also they could be in

944
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: the kind of picture to where when they go to

945
00:51:55,320 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: Tallahassee in about three weeks, maybe they're the ones who

946
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: knocked the Noles from the ranks of the unbeaten. I

947
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: know that sounds crazy, it's not so crazy as to

948
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: just write it off. And if they keep winning like

949
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: I said, they could creep into that conference title picture.

950
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: What about Missouri, freshly minted in the JP pole. Missouri

951
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: is off this week, so no one's talking about them,

952
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: but most people hadn't been talking about them all year.

953
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: You know who they play next? They play Georgia. What's

954
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: Georgia doing this week? Oh? They play Florida, don't they?

955
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:35,919
Speaker 1: Rivalry game? Rivalry games actually aren't as unpredictable as people

956
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: make them out to be. But the week after a

957
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: rivalry game, especially when your opponent sat there and watched

958
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: the rivalry game at home, that can be unpredictable. And

959
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: so Missouri gets to co test to test their metal

960
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: against Georgia. But then they play Tennessee the next week.

961
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: So I'll give you a little chaos theory. Chaos would

962
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: be if they beat Georgia, if they're the ones who

963
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: take an nip out of Georgia, but then they lose

964
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. What has just happened? Well, Number one, Missouri

965
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: put Georgia on the hobble. They just took the crowbar

966
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: to the shen and in Georgia's ah And then Tennessee

967
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: takes down Missouri, and all of a sudden what are

968
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: we looking at. We're looking at Georgia going to Kneeland

969
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: later in the year. I don't want to say crippled

970
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: because it has connotations, but they are severely hobbled, and

971
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee's right back in. It is the point. Tennessee needs

972
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: Georgia to lose or else it doesn't matter if they

973
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: beat them by five hundred into a coma, Georgia still

974
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: got a game on you. But if Georgia is already

975
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: a one lost team and you don't lose again by

976
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 1: the time they come up there, you could end up

977
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: backing your way into Atlanta. Missouri could have a lot

978
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: to say about that. And lastly, what about Oregon State.

979
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: Oregon State's a good team first off, and the last

980
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: two weeks of the regular season they play at Oregon.

981
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, they play versus Washington and then at Oregon.

982
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the order. So you start doing your

983
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: breathing exercises out there in the West Coast and you

984
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: start thinking about the curtain dropping on the Pac twelve

985
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: as you know it. What if we have chaos on

986
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: the way out the door. What if Oregon State either

987
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: beats Washington or goes to Oregon and wins or both.

988
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: Either way, they're gonna have a lot to say about

989
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: how that PAC twelve Championship picture pans out. Here's the

990
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: disrespect and I admit it's disrespectful. I'm sitting here talking

991
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: about Oregon State like they're out of it and they're

992
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,720
Speaker 1: just playing the role of spoiler. They got one conference loss,

993
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: they're in it. If they won those games, it may

994
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: be them that's going to Las Vegas. So and I

995
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: by Las Vegas, I mean for the PAC twelve Championship game.

996
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: So there is a lot left to be decided. There

997
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: are chaos teams all over the country. I just named

998
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: four of them. Chances are one one of them that

999
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: I gave no second thought too, is going to be

1000
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: the one who actually blows the entire thing up. All right,

1001
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: I told you about fifty some odd minutes ago there

1002
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,720
Speaker 1: was a big story that was happening and it wasn't

1003
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: the Michigan story. And I am a man of my word,

1004
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: so I'm going to deliver right after a sip of

1005
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: the purple liquid here. I appreciate you guys watching live.

1006
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: Also make sure you hit the light button because less

1007
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: than a fifth of you have and I cannot keep

1008
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: feeding Jesse and Colin and Bradley with those kinds of numbers.

1009
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 1: I can't. That's a lie. Our numbers are really good

1010
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: and I appreciate it. Keep them good. Subscribe to the

Speaker 1: That's the way you keep it free, you subscribe. Let's

1015
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,919
Speaker 1: see Sam hit us up from Boulder, Colorado. He said,

1016
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: what do you think maybe is the story of this

1017
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: year's college football season that no one is talking about?

1018
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 1: Brilliant question, And although it comes from Boulder, the answer

1019
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: is not Deon Sanders. It's not Colorado. There is a

1020
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: knock down, drag out recruiting war underway in the Sunshine State.

1021
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: But it's not between Ohio State and Alabama and Clemson.

1022
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:27,959
Speaker 1: It's not Georgia. No, it's Florida versus Miami versus Florida State.

1023
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: And if you're new to college football, you may say, duh, No,

1024
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: it's not duh anything. They have leaked talent out of

1025
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: that state forever. It's been the key story in this

1026
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: sport and I have beat the drum to death. We've

1027
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: had to replace the heads on the drum. I beat

1028
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: it so much that this is how you recalibrate the

1029
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: entire talent landscape. You keep in state talent home in Florida.

1030
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: So anyway, you heard me say that a long time ago.

1031
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,240
Speaker 1: Well here we go, paper pop time. The twenty twenty

1032
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 1: four recruiting cycle, current class rankings Florida number three, Florida

1033
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: State number four, Miami number ten. They are rolling down there.

1034
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: Rewind two years ago. Take the top thirty kids in

1035
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: that state. Eight of them stayed home. Eight of them

1036
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: stayed in state, And I ran the numbers, and that

1037
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: means twenty two did not. As of right now in

1038
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four cycle, granted, we still got a

1039
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: wayte to go. As of right now, fifteen of the

1040
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: top thirty in state kids are committed to an in

1041
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: state school and four are uncommitted, and two of those

1042
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: are crystal bald into the state of Florida somewhere. So

1043
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: we'll have well over fifty percent of those kids stay

1044
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: at home. Two years ago was eight of the top thirty.

1045
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: All three of these programs are trending up over the

1046
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: last three years in recruiting. Not just it's not just

1047
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: a one year aberration. This is a really big story.

1048
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't care if you have nothing to do with

1049
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: the state of Florida or the SEC or the ACC.

1050
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: This is a big story if you're a Minnesota fan.

1051
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: It's a big story if you're a cow fan. And

1052
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: here's why. The single biggest contributor that's been overlooked that

1053
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: created the super roster and the super team was not

1054
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: the playoff. That was a lie they told you to

1055
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: get you to support playoff expansion. It was never that.

1056
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: It was that the in state schools in Florida and

1057
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: to a certain degree, Texas and California were bad and

1058
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: their talent left home. But it didn't disperse itself evenly

1059
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: all over the country. Alabama loaded up, Ohio State loaded up,

1060
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: Clemson loaded up, Georgia loaded up, and lo and behold,

1061
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: they're dominating college football playoff. And I got simpletons out

1062
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: there telling me, well, we've got to change the structure. No,

1063
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't have to change anything. Hey, we

1064
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: still got a four team playoff this year. My how

1065
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: the tables have turned, or my how the turntables? What's changed? Well,

1066
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what star started to change, well started

1067
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: to change is a few of those elite players per

1068
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: cycle that would have gone to Columbus or Clemson or

1069
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa have gone to Tallahassee or Gainesville or Coral Gables.

1070
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: Now that's in its infancy with these current staffs, that's

1071
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: going to continue trending that way. And what does it do?

1072
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: It does it not Georgia or Alabama from the ranks

1073
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: of being elite. Just shaves the top of the roster

1074
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's all you need. You didn't need

1075
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: to take the knees out of Ohio State or Clemson,

1076
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: just needed to shave the tops of those rosters one

1077
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: or two five stars per team per cycle from Bell

1078
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: Glade or from Okalla who were leaving the state. They

1079
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: need to stay home. And you would be stunned at

1080
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: how much difference that made. I have told you that

1081
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: a million times. Well it's happening. Now it's happening. You

1082
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: never needed playoff expansion, you got it anyway. You didn't

1083
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: need it. What you needed is you needed Mario doing

1084
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: what he's doing down there. You need Mike Norvel and

1085
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: billion if you're doing what they're doing. Ultimately, they have

1086
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: to win, win, and that's what will turn the wave

1087
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: into a tidal wave into a tsunami. And we're all

1088
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: ocean experts, we understand what happens there. But it's not

1089
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: happening in a vacuum. It's also happening in Texas. A

1090
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: and M's recruiting at a really high level. Texas is

1091
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: recruiting at a really high level. So two of those

1092
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: three states now are playing their part and keeping enough

1093
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: of their talent home to where if you're a Penn

1094
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: State fan, you're saying, well, big deal, I wasn't getting

1095
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: those players anyway. That's true maybe, But what if Ohio

1096
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: State doesn't get them as much, or if you're an

1097
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Arkansas fan, well we weren't getting those elite kids anyway.

1098
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: What if Alabama doesn't get them as frequently or as easily.

1099
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: It's a really big story. This is how you even out.

1100
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: This is how you inject parody into college football. That's

1101
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: how you do it. You're never going to inject the

1102
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: kind of parody that you think you're going to inject

1103
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: by expanding your playoff. It's a fool's errand to think otherwise,

1104
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: that's not the key. It never has been. The key

1105
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: is has and always will be in this sport talent distribution,

1106
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: and the portal is addressing this because you can't just

1107
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: freeze your roster for a four year stretch. But also

1108
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: in state schools doing their job in state. That's another

1109
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: really big factor to monitor here. Now here's what sucks

1110
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: for me. What sucks for me is I know this

1111
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: was the key all along, and now that these in

1112
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: state schools in Texas are keeping a larger chunk of

1113
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: their talent home and the schools in Florida diddo. At

1114
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: the same time as the playoff expanding, the expanded Playoff,

1115
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: mark my words, is going to end up getting credit

1116
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: for a lot of the competitive balance and it has

1117
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: little if nothing to do with what's actually happening. Or

1118
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,439
Speaker 1: put another way, you could keep this thing at four

1119
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: teams for the next decade and you would still see

1120
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: an inversion at the top, like we're getting ready to see,

1121
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: and in some cases we're already seeing it. The natural

1122
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: order of things wasn't going to let those schools dominate

1123
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: for the next decade. But the natural order, combined with

1124
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: added recruiting prowess, some of these big Florida institutions just

1125
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of exclamates it. So I say all that to say,

1126
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: enjoy it even if you think it has nothing to

1127
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: do with you, because it's a really big story. I

1128
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: got no added best bets tonight. We'll have several Thursday

1129
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: watching some injury concerns for some teams. Not huge news,

1130
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: but it would impact some games. We want to move on,

1131
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,880
