I've heard so many players say, well, 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 2: I want to be happy. You want to be happy 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: for a day, eat a steak? 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: Is that? Whoo whoo? And them and tie the Tuesday 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: mister Dan Rubinstein, sir, welcome back to the pod. How 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: goes it? My friend? Pretty good? 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: I shouldn't admit this publicly because it's gonna sound weirder 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: than it actually was. But I went to bed early 10 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 2: on Sunday nights like I normally do because I don't 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: get much sleep Saturday nights, so I'm just a wreck 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: all day on Sunday. And so when I get that 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: deeper sleep because I went to sleep at I don't know, 14 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: nine o'clock or something last night, like solid nine to 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: six fifteen, six thirty night of sleep, which I'm sure 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: you're very jealous you don't sleep anymore. No, But I 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: always have these very vivid dreams, both because I'm always 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: injured and my body is trying to heal itself, and 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: so I get into deeper sleep, and because I just 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: slept longer, I'm almost positive I dreamt in a totally 21 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: g rated way, ty, where are we going with this 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: about Nick and Terry Saban? And nothing at all inappropriate? 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 2: It was literally I think it was like odd good 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: on tour with Nick Saban, but Miss Terry was involved, 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 2: and I like that. 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: You felt the need to specify that no, no, no, 27 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: it was entirely g rated, as if it wouldn't be 28 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: if you're dreaming about Nick and Terry. 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: If anybody has ever listened to this show, you know 30 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: that my brain goes to non g rated places, probably 31 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: more often than it should for a forty one year 32 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: old father of two. But I'm saying right now it 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: was just odd and I don't know why, why he 34 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: is planted into my subconscious Obviously he's quite present in 35 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: game day and in the college football universe post retirement. 36 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: There was something I actually did give a lot of thought. 37 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: He like returned to the LSU facility that he helped 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: to build but never saw, and for some reason that 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: struck a chord with me, and I guess it was 40 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: just planted somewhere deep in the recesses of my brain 41 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: and it popped out during my Sunday night sleep. So 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: how's that for a show opener? 43 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: Tie? Well, hey, and I think I saw somewhere on 44 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: social media Miss Terry was at game day. I think 45 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: she goes with coach Saber some of these sites. I'm 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: sure it's a hell of a good time. She was 47 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: kind of in the crowd cheering them on. So welcome 48 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: back to the show. On that note, I am ty, 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: he is Dan.

This is the spill over episode, Dan Rubinstein. 59 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: This is the one where we go back through we 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: search the catacombs of our minds. We try to cover 61 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: anything we did not get to on the Saturday night 62 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: recap episode. Oftentimes we do those shows. We're quite tired. 63 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: The second we hit stop, we sort of instantly forget 64 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: what we discussed. That's how it is for me anyway. 65 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: So on that note, I've got a bunch of items. 66 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: We also have a Verballer segment that sort of spun 67 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: together via a couple suggestions that we got out at 68 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: verballers dot Com. We'll get into that and then just 69 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: give you a brief look ahead as for what week 70 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: twelve looks like. Before we do, though, should we start 71 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: with our new Verballer Top twelve Pole would love to. 72 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: We've been doing this every week. You can go and 73 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: sign up at verballers dot com to vote in our 74 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: Verballer Top twelve Pole. So movement as you might expect 75 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: given the results that we saw on Saturday a week eleven, 76 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: all miss is now back in the conversation, tipping the 77 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: scales at number twelve, followed up by Miami at eleven. 78 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: Georgia drops down to number ten, Alabama peaking its way 79 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: back into the top ten now all the way up 80 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: to nine. We've got Notre Dame holding steady at number eight. 81 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: We've got Byu up to seven, Tennessee up to six. 82 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: Of note because Tennessee and Georgia do play this week, 83 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: so there will be further movement in this poll. The 84 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: next time we get together on a Tuesday, Penn State 85 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 1: up to five, Indiana up to four. An incredible story 86 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: in college football right now, Indiana all the way up 87 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: to four, Texas three, Ohio State to Oregon all the 88 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: way up to number one, holding steady, I should say 89 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: at number one. So of note here, when you look 90 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: at this, we've got Oregon, Ohio State, Indiana, and Penn 91 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: State four big ten teams in our Verbowler Top five Dan. 92 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: Any reactions to the way that sets. 93 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: Up, Yeah, I'd kick BYU down a few spots. I 94 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: might be inclined to put Penn State ahead of Indiana 95 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: after Saturday's performances, and this is no slight on Indiana, 96 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 2: but Penn State finally showed that it had the throttle 97 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: gene against a decent, average, whatever kind of team in Washington, 98 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: and so that does it for me. As I've talked 99 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 2: about before, I'd put Notre Dame ahead of BYU. I'd 100 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: put Alabama ahead of BYU. I know people are going 101 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: to point to well BYUS undefeated and not losing is 102 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: a skill. Well, we'll get to it the specific way 103 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: in which they haven't lost, specifically against Utah, I don't 104 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: know if it gives me the warm fuzzies. Everybody's allowed 105 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 2: to win clunkers, but this is a Utah team started 106 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: the thirdstring quarterback, Yes right, I just you got to 107 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: impress me week by week. And I don't want to 108 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: be too much of a prisoner of the moment, he says, 109 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: as he's being a prisoner of the moment. But BYU 110 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: hasn't been that throttle team either, And so if I'm 111 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: gonna hold Penn State to that standard, if we're gonna say, 112 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: what an incredible year so far by for BYU, but 113 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: then they want to be my latex salesman as like 114 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: a top five six seven team, I'm gonna hold him 115 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: to a higher standard. And they are not separating, they 116 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: are not throttling. They do not seem to have that 117 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: in a rivalry game on the road, but not terribly 118 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: far away, of course. I just I'm there's a few 119 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: marks against BYU. There's some demerits there for me. 120 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: Some demerits, And I don't want you to go too 121 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: far down the path with BYU because this is in 122 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: effect a pretty BYU themed episode. 123 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: Oh no, what did we get ourselves into? 124 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: We're not going to talk exclusively about BYU. That's what 125 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: this is about. We are going to recap that Utah game, 126 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: the twenty two to twenty one victory over Utah here 127 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: in a few minutes. But then we've got overballer segment 128 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: that is going to talk about BYU ish topics as 129 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: it relates to other teams. We'll get into that. I 130 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: don't want to give away the game too much. The 131 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: one that I think stands out to me the most 132 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: is Georgia. I woke up and down this top twelve 133 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: right now, and I have a pretty good sense for 134 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: who all these teams are. Right BYU. We can have 135 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: a discussion about BYU, but Georgia's the one that stands 136 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: out to me the most, just because I really don't 137 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 1: know which direction this program's headed. I think they're fine 138 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: from a program standpoint, but what I mean is just 139 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: within the context of this season, I don't know what 140 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: to expect next from Georgia, and it's of interest because 141 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: they square off against another team that I could say 142 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: many of the same things about in Tennessee this weekend. 143 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: The big game in Week twelve is Georgia against Tennessee. 144 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: One of those two teams is probably getting in the 145 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: playoff the way things stand right now, right, I kind 146 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: of don't know what to expect from that game. 147 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: I just think george is getting so much credit for 148 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: what they were in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two. 149 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: I agree. 150 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: I agree that, Like you think, you see Georgia and 151 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: you think, man, that Texas game, You're like, that was 152 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: a week, but we're talking about resumes now we're heading 153 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: into week twelve, is my math correct? State school college correct? 154 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: I that was a week And the rest of Georgia's 155 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: season has been fine, not great, And people are like, well, 156 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: you can't drop Georgia from like three to fifteen. Why 157 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: not do whatever you feel is in your heart? Okay? 158 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 2: And having Georgia be high. So we've had eleven weeks 159 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: of college football and we're like, okay, here's where we are. 160 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: We have culminated with ole Miss basically throttling Georgia. Let's 161 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: keep ole Miss behind them? 162 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: What right? 163 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: Why? What is it that is in your heart that 164 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: says like, well, you gotta keep Georgia ahead of ole Miss? 165 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: No you don't. 166 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: You just watch them play. 167 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: Georgia couldn't compete. 168 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: They were lost against ole Miss, So why keep them 169 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: behind there because Ole Miss lost to Kentucky seven weeks 170 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: ago or whatever. That's stupid, ty, This is an absolute 171 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: stupid poll. We've got a bunch of brilliant people in 172 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 2: the for ballers voting on this. I'm just saying I 173 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: disagree with how like almost would throttle'll be? Why you 174 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: in this moment? Are you kidding me? 175 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: Stop it? You're gonna give away the game? 176 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 2: No, no, no, hold on, I think notre name is 177 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 2: better than by stop it, stop it. 178 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: I've got a game. 179 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. Okay, let's just let's just talk about 180 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: outside of the top twenty five then, or outside of 181 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 2: the top twelve. 182 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: Hold your horses here for a second. This points to, 183 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: I think a broader discussion that we have every year 184 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: around this time, and it's two schools of thought when 185 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: it comes to ranking teams. There is one school of 186 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: thought that looks at it and says, well, if Georgia 187 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: played so and so tomorrow, this would be the point spread. Right, 188 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: If Georgia played Alabama tomorrow, they'd be, you know, three 189 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: point favorite. I don't know what that point spread would be. 190 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm just making this up. Right, There are people that 191 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: I think look at this and they tend to rank 192 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: teams based on what the point spread would be, the 193 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: Vegas model, if you will. I've never really subscribed to 194 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: that model. I think partially. It always kind of hangs 195 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: in the back of my mind who I think is 196 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: better than whom. But this is a time of year 197 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: where I start looking at resumes as you, like you 198 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: just described, on some level, you have to take a 199 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: resume for what it's worth. BYU is probably the bone 200 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: of contention that we can get into here as we 201 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: get into our game. BYU at this point is undefeated 202 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: in a power conference. The resume, I guess builds a 203 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: little bit more each week. We can discuss the merits 204 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: of their wins. But I look at BYU and it's like, well, 205 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: though I don't necessarily feel confident in their chances against 206 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: a team like Georgia, it feels to me like they 207 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: are finding ways to improve week in a week out. 208 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: Certainly at the quarterback position, they are finding ways to 209 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: win those moments, which is not something Georgia has proven 210 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: it can do on a kind of consistent basis. I 211 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: tend to get a little bit muddled in my own 212 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: head with respect to which model am I using to 213 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: rank these teams? But I think I come down more 214 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: on the resume side of things once we get into 215 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: mid November. I just I don't like replaying the point 216 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: spread argument over and over again and saying, ah, that's 217 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: why this team should be ranked ahead. On some level, 218 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: it's like, how many losses do you have? And does 219 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: it feel like you're getting better? Right? 220 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: If you're beating a fully collapsing Utah team by one, late, lucky, 221 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: we'll get there. If you're beating a fully collapsing Oklahoma 222 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: State team by three, giving up thirty five points in 223 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 2: the process, win your clunkers, but at a certain point 224 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: you're just infected with clunk iis clunk IDAs. That's what 225 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: BYU is right now. And you're an undefeated team in 226 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: a power conference, Yes you should be in the top ten, 227 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: but like, let's not look at a record like, well, 228 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: you gotta put them number five, you gotta put them numbers. 229 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: No, you don't have to do anything. I'm not arguing 230 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: for five. I am arguing them as a top twelve team. 231 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: I think that's they should be in the top twelve, given. 232 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 2: Well, they'll automatically be number four or whatever. 233 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: I think they're top twelve, given where they're at right now, 234 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: and given where the sport is at, I think I don't. 235 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: I have no problem putting BYU in my top twelve. 236 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: I did put BYU in my top. 237 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: Okay, but I would have them like general, I haven't. 238 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: I had them pretty low. I had them pretty low. 239 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: And I think I had Georgia fully out in mind, 240 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: because should if I, If I am focused a little 241 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: bit more on who is getting better and who is 242 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: finding ways to improve their resume. BYU has the not 243 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: over Georgia right now. It's kind of great. It's a 244 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: weird place to be, but that's that's where I'm at. 245 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: By the way, thirteen through sixteen is Boise State, SMU, 246 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: Army and Texas A and M. Let's take a look 247 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: back at BYU twenty two Utah twenty one. Okay, so 248 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: here's what happened. If you stayed up late, even if 249 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: you didn't, Utah stopped BYU on fourth down late in 250 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: the game. It was a play. If it holds, Utah 251 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: wins the game, they get the ball back the ice. 252 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: At games over, instead, the officials called defensive holding penalty, 253 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: which gives BYU an automatic first down. BYU then drives 254 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: down the field. They get in field goal range. They 255 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: end up kicking a forty four yarder to win it. 256 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: Both Kyle Whittingham and the ad for Utah, Mark Harlan, 257 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: were irate after this one. Harlan was finding something like 258 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: forty grand for the critical comments he made about the 259 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: officiating of note. Very soft call. 260 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: Okay, my opinion was there a closer angle. I saw 261 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 2: that there was a far away angle of the defensive holding. 262 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: They not that I saw. Not that I saw. There 263 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: was a little bit of holding off the right, off 264 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Yeah, felt like a very soft 265 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: call to me. Oh we got touched? Oh my god, 266 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: very soft call in my opinion, I think at besqsoft. Yeah. 267 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: But BAU finds way to win this one. They kicked 268 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: that forty four yorder, they win twenty two to twenty one. 269 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: You and I have both gone back down rewatched this game. Yes, 270 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: this game to me was a great point of reference 271 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: for why I'm not higher on BYU. BYU is finding 272 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: ways to win moments, and that in and of itself 273 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: is a skill. Yeah, return to kick for a touchdown 274 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: in this one scored one offensive touchdown, kick, two field goals. Yeah, 275 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: had like two big plays off game, made a couple 276 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: of conversions that had like two big plays. It reminded 277 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: me a little bit of the game we saw a 278 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: couple weeks back against K State where they had a 279 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: big play on defense in that one a scoop and 280 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: score picked up two other turnovers deep inside K State 281 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: territory that basically catapulted them to twenty one points. So 282 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: they're they're good at capitalizing when they have those moments, right, 283 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: It's just the rest of the game. The rest of 284 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: the game is what makes me a little bit leery 285 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: about this team. Like, if you have to go toe 286 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: to toe and if the opponent isn't making mistakes, what 287 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: does that version of BYU look like against that team? 288 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: I think that that is the sticking point for me 289 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: with respect to BYU. Now, Jake Rehetzlov has been really good. 290 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: He is absolutely the engine for this BYU team. He 291 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: made he led. 292 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: Him one offensive touchdown this game, right, one offensive touchdown 293 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: more than zero must be really good. 294 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: Continue. I think he is getting better. I really stand 295 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: by that he makes plays. He was really good in 296 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: this game when he had time. It's just I don't 297 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: think there is that much of a supporting cast around him, 298 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: and so not that I want to add this name 299 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: to our upcoming portal pool that we're going to run 300 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: at for Bowlers dot Com. I don't even know if 301 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: that's possible, but right Jake Retzloff with more of a 302 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: supporting cast would be an interesting conversation. As it stands, he, 303 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: for my money, is the main offensive weapon for this 304 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: BYU team. He just finds a way to make plays. 305 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: I was discouraged by the fact that the old line 306 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: seemed overwhelmed at times by a good Utah front. Definitely, 307 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: which is why I qualify all my Retsluf statements by 308 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: saying when he had time, because there were a lot 309 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: of moments in this scheme when he didn't. 310 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: Okay, So I relate to the Utah ad and Kyle 311 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: Woode was it, Harlan? Is that the Utah I d yeah, 312 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: Harlan and Whittingham immensely that if this were my team 313 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: and this is how my team lost, I would climb 314 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: up to my roof and start yelling at a bunch 315 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: of you know, Indiana and Wisconsin and Iowa fans that 316 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: I live near and be like. 317 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: This tragedy cannot stand. 318 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 2: I have been absolutely just assassinated by these referees. I 319 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 2: would be that person. This is college football, you take 320 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: everything personally. I'm not going to criticize them for criticizing 321 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: the reps because of a huge moment, soft defensive holding 322 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: call fourth and ten deep in I want to say, 323 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: BYU territory that seemed to change the outcome of that game. 324 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: Also in the two things can be true at the 325 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 2: same time. Because I'm not a Utah fan, I should 326 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 2: point out Utah went up twenty one to ten and 327 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 2: lost twenty two to twenty one. This is what Utah 328 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: did on offense after scoring twenty one points in the 329 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: first half. Mind you, four plays punt, thirteen yard drive, 330 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: two plays interceptions, zero yards gained in the process, nine 331 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: plays for thirty six yards punt, four plays sixteen yards punt, 332 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: three plays one yard punt, three plays negative seven yards punt. 333 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 2: This was not a back and forth. This was not 334 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 2: an offense otherwise succeeding or a defense otherwise pitching a shutout. Well, 335 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: the defense did play well because I think one of 336 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 2: the touchdowns was a kickoff return for a touchdown. From Byu. Correct, 337 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: that's not on the defense. Were there opportunities for Utah 338 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 2: to add three points in the second half to effectively 339 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: win this game? There were, tie There absolutely were, But 340 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 2: in that moment when you are seeing that Utah shade 341 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 2: of crimson in your eyes, I get the anger. Now 342 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: if you need a non call there to win the game. 343 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: And by the way, how many plays were run after 344 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 2: that defensive holding call, because that just brought them up, 345 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 2: you know, to kind of deep in BYU's own territory. 346 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: Still opportunities to win that game. 347 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. 348 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: From Afar, if you can say definitively that referee call 349 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: is proof that the evil Big twelve has it in 350 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 2: for Utah, that's kind of garbage. So I don't know. 351 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 2: I get the anger. I would be there too if 352 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 2: I were them, But because I'm not, I'm be like, Okay, guys, 353 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: you had chances and you didn't get it done. But again, 354 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: I can't say I can dismiss that kind of emotion 355 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: at the end of the game. So I'm right there 356 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 2: with you. I'd rather feel that emotion than like be 357 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 2: removed enough to be like. 358 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: Well, we had our chances. Oh well, calls go with 359 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: our way. 360 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: Calls go our way and don't go our way. 361 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: That's stupid. Listen. That emotion is why we have a podcast, 362 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: why we're able to do this full time. We feed 363 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: off of that emotion. And I agree, I think it 364 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: was a soft call. But also yeah, Utah had more 365 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: than ample opportunity to get a stop there. 366 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: They had gotten stop a field goal in the second half, they. 367 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: Had gotten stopped on defense before that, h so they 368 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: had ample opportunity to stop Utah or to stop BYU. 369 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: Excuse me, and BYU again, to their credit, was able 370 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: to get down within field goal range kick the field goal, 371 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: and when they just keep finding ways to do this. 372 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: It will be interesting, though, to see how the rest 373 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: of the season shakes out for BYU, because right now 374 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: they are the only undefeated team in the Big twelve. 375 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: There are some interesting scenarios that I think I've outlined 376 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: before that maybe we can talk through here in a 377 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: little bit as well. But the stands look, if you 378 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: look at any of these projected playoff brackets out there, 379 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: BYU's getting a first round by they're getting a first 380 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: round by. Right now, They're they're looking like they're the 381 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: team to beat in the Big twelve. 382 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: Here's well, here's the other thing too, just within the 383 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: context of BYU wanting to be my latex salesman, right, 384 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 2: they want to show themselves to be a worthwhile top five, six, 385 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: seven eight team. That's a Seinfeld reference, correct. That's if 386 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: you're wondering what Tyan I are referencing at any given moment, 387 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: that's seventy one percent chance at Seinfeld. If BYU had 388 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 2: lost to Baylor or Kansas State or UCF or something, 389 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 2: and we're sitting here at whatever eight and one, nine 390 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: and one BYU, I guess it will be eight and one, right. 391 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: We would look at that Utah and be like, gutty 392 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 2: win from the Cougars, right that, Like you know, they're 393 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: mayor of the fourteenth or fifteenth in the country. Like man, 394 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: tough spot against a rival on the road, gutty win 395 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: when you're not playing well to pull that out. But 396 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 2: now you're like, is that with the number sixteen, number 397 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 2: sevent team in the country. Look it's Utah in this moment. 398 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 2: Likely not so it weirdly goes against them that they're undefeated. 399 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: Just in terms of how we appraise that late game performance. 400 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 2: That's all I think all that's fair. 401 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean I came away skeptical after after watching this game, 402 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: and I had many of the same thoughts. Now going 403 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: into this week, they are a slight favorite at home 404 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: against Kansas. Kansas team that has not been a great team. 405 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: You know, got to win over Iowa State a week ago. 406 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: Maybe they are finding ways to turn things around. They 407 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: play at Arizona State, which looks like it could be 408 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: a prickly game. Arizona State is having a pretty good 409 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: season against all odds, close out the year at home 410 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: against Houston, so there are opportunities here for them to 411 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: lose and or throttle or throttle. There are winning moments. 412 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: They are playing well on special teams, and certainly when 413 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: they're having an opportunity to convert in a short field, 414 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: They've proven that they can do that. 415 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 2: We're going to be banned from all the soda shops 416 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 2: in Provo after this episode. 417 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, some other stuff going on around college football. Not 418 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: sure if you saw, but Florida State and Mike Norvell 419 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: fired the offensive coordinator Alex Atkins fired, defensive coordinator Adam 420 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: Fuller fired, the receivers coach Ron. 421 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 2: Dugans Dugins or Duggins either one. 422 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: Duga ns Yeah, Big Ron, Yeah, fired Big Ron. It 423 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: is going to be starting up here before you know it. 424 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: The college football coaching carousel. Mike Norvel has been outspoken 425 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: that there need to be changes. These guys have been 426 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: with them since the very beginning of the project, guess 427 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: about five years now in Tallahassee. So sure it was 428 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: a tough decision, but given the state of play, given 429 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: the throttling they just took on the road against Notre Dame, 430 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: my guess is that no time like the president to 431 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: get started. This is a move that probably needed to happen, 432 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: if only just a safe face I prove that need 433 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: to go in a different direction. So what it looks 434 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: like with respect to who they bring in, what it 435 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: looks like with respect to responsibility. Is it going to 436 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: be a situation where the offensive coordinator has total play 437 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: calling duty or Mike Marvela has some input into the 438 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: philosophy of the offense. I'm sure he will, yeah, and 439 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: he's an offensive minded guy. All of that stuff remains 440 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: to be seen. But Florida State on the board here 441 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: with needing two new coordinators going into twenty twenty five. 442 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: Dan right in terms of news that's the biggest in 443 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: terms of leftover takes as we do on this episode. 444 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: I have several, but I've already done it a lot 445 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: of talking one will. 446 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: Do you have any takes on Florida State making those changes? 447 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: My take is the take that I gave voice to 448 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: on the Thursday preview episode a week ago. Okay, I 449 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: didn't realize how bad they had gotten. Oh yeah, I 450 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: didn't realize. Like you watch Florida State games if you're 451 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: a sadist and you could see with your own eyes 452 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: that it's pretty bad. Yep, you don't realize how much 453 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: it's bottomed out until you look at the old spreadsheet. 454 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: And I said to you on Thursday, they looked like 455 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: Kent State. There were Kent State teams that I have 456 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: seen recently where they looked like that on the spreadsheet, 457 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: And so it's just been a full bottoming out of 458 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 1: this team. I don't know if that's a coordinator thing, Dan, 459 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that's just the DJ. You think there 460 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: are probably a million reasons as to why, but literally 461 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: nothing has taken. I don't care what Mike Norvelle is owed, 462 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: but if he has another year next year like you 463 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: had this year, he's toast. They won't stand for it. 464 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: Two years in a row. I think it's sixty plus 465 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,239 Speaker 1: million dollars, sixty ish million. It's a lot, a lot 466 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: of potatoes. 467 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: So if you are an offensive coordinator with an offensive 468 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 2: line background, and Alex Atkins is credited or at least 469 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 2: partially credited with helping to rebuild that disaster stress offensive 470 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 2: line where it was a few years ago at Florida State, 471 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: and you get them to the point where they are 472 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: an asset last year twenty twenty three, and they're running 473 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 2: the ball well and protecting Jordan Travis well enough, and 474 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 2: that offense is I think really good last year, not great, 475 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 2: but really good. And the defense last year was somewhere 476 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 2: in the vicinity of like a top ten national defense 477 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 2: in terms of points per drive allowed. They were around thirty, 478 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 2: somewhere between thirty and forty the year before. And now 479 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 2: the offense candid all stay on the field, candid all 480 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 2: protect a quarterback. The turnovers are mounting, the three and 481 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: outs are mounting, of course, threes and out three and outs, 482 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 2: I don't know. And you're asking a defense to do 483 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 2: everything to keep this Florida State team in the game. Somehow, 484 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 2: I don't think, and maybe, look, maybe Adam Fuller was 485 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 2: just a bad fit, maybe just culturally. 486 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. 487 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 2: I don't know anything about what's happening inside of Florida State. 488 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: All I can say is he's probably not a bad 489 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator if he's able to get at a very 490 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: talented twenty twenty three squad to that level where they 491 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: are shutting teams down even when the offense was struggling 492 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 2: like crazy. After Jordan Travis got hurt late in the 493 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: season last year, I understand there has to be a 494 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 2: fall guy, and if it's not going to be Mike Norvell, 495 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: you have to say, Okay, maybe we are going to 496 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: find a defensive coordinator who is better at figuring out 497 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 2: duct tape and chicken wire to get this defense off 498 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 2: the field more often when the offense is terrible. I 499 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: just don't know how you put it all in a vacuum. 500 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 2: I don't know how you pull it all on the 501 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator when the offense was this much of a disaster. 502 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: The offensive line I think, was supposed to be somewhat 503 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 2: of a strength heading into the season and just weren't performing. 504 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: And so I understand when your offensive coordinator is also 505 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: an offensive line guy, like, well, who's going to improve 506 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 2: this unit? If this unit is this much of a disaster? Obviously, DJ, 507 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 2: you didn't work out. I guess the only real silver 508 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 2: lining here with Florida State is whoever they pay to 509 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: be their next quarterback is going to make enough money 510 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: to put generations through college. Yeah, and whoever that is 511 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 2: pre congratulations because it doesn't appear like that quarterback of 512 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: the future is on this roster in the moment. High 513 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: level ACC championship level quarterback is on the roster at 514 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: this moment, and it does. I don't believe they have 515 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: a quarterback in the future committed at this point because 516 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: it looks it looks like a three star who's not 517 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 2: in the top however, many hundred of the recruiting rankings, 518 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: So maybe this guy's a sleeper. I don't know, but 519 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 2: we're at least two three years out from that showing 520 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 2: itself to be the case. Florida State is in deep 521 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: right now, and I hope for the sake of ACC 522 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: entertainment that they can quickly dig out of it in 523 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: the portal. But this is the danger in relying too 524 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: heavily on the portal is that you don't develop depth, 525 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: you don't develop that culture unless you're absolutely nailing the 526 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 2: fits and the talent level. And Florida State has a 527 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: ways to go. 528 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: It has not been promising, to say the least. This 529 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: has been a really bad year. Yeah, a really bad year. 530 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 2: They have the number thirty one ranked recruiting class for 531 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five at the time of this recording. 532 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: Speaking of Florida State, let's talk about Oklahoma State. Yeah, 533 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: we haven't had much reason to talk about Oklahoma's state lately, 534 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: but Oklahoma State started three and oh I believe, beat 535 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: Arkansas in a bit of a shootout, and since lost 536 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: seven straight. They are three and seven overall. They are 537 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: oh and seven in conference, dead last in the Big Twelve. 538 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: This is a team that I thought would be in 539 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve title game, if only because of their 540 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: returning production, if only because of the schedule that seemed 541 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: very promising. I am not alone in that prediction. I 542 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: don't believe you were quite as high on the Pokes 543 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: as I was. But even in your wildest dreams, you 544 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: didn't have them going oh and seven in conference. 545 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: I was just a year early on being down in 546 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 2: Oklahoma State. Yeah wrong here. 547 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what level of accountability we get 548 00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: from Mike Gundy now in light of this a really 549 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: bad campaign. And I know a lot of people like Gundhy. 550 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: He's been sort of a mainstay and still water and 551 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: he's funny and he's got the fun hair and all 552 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: that person. 553 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 2: Really like him. His house is on the market, you 554 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: can jump on in. 555 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm curious to get the temperature of 556 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma State football program from people who listen to 557 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: this show, many of whom have been vocal about Gundhy 558 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: about the program in their years of listening to us. 559 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: We did an interview where we talked specifically about Oklahoma 560 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: State way back when I want to say June May, 561 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: somewhere in that timeframe, and there was a sense that 562 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: there was like an hour never element to this season 563 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: because of everything that was coming back, because of the schedule, 564 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: because of Oklahoma and Texas leaving the Big twelve to 565 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: put in this kind of campaign is really bad. It's 566 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: not Florida State bad, but it's close. The defense is 567 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: fully bottomed out. This was a team of memory serves 568 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: that had nine starters back. Defense is bottomed out. I 569 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: know they've had some injuries as well to deal with, 570 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: but at this point in the season, everybody's kind of 571 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: in that boat. It just feels like this is such 572 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: a poor performance that there need to be answers and 573 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: sure not necessarily calling for the end of the Mike 574 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: Gundhy era, but after a campaign like this, somebody's got 575 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: to pay the piper. I can't imagine there are a 576 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: lot of Pokes fans out there that are all that 577 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: excited about where things stand right now. 578 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 2: And by the way, likely should have lost that Arkansas game. 579 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: In addition, I know, I know that's the thing. 580 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 2: So we're dealing with an Oklahoma State program this year 581 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: that lost to Isaac Wilson. The start of the Utah 582 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 2: collapsed twenty two to nineteen. They lost my three touchdowns 583 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 2: to Kansas State, twenty four points to West Virginia, three 584 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: points to BYU and a good showing some fight, ten 585 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 2: points to Baylor, twenty one points to ASU, and twenty 586 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: five points to You see that like on the fly 587 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 2: math Tie. 588 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: I know you see what I'm I can't do that. 589 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: There's no way I could do that. 590 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 2: They're not losing strong teams, no They're not losing to 591 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: bad teams, they're not losing a strong teams, They're not 592 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: losing the top ten to fifteen teams and just have 593 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: a brutal schedule. They're losing to unranked West Virginia, losing 594 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: an unranked Baylor, unranked TCU, and it's not close. No, 595 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 2: I just kind of think things are broken there, and. 596 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: Who broke them right? 597 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 2: Who's fighting these quarterbacks, who's building this roster, who's getting 598 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 2: this team ready for games, who's getting this team in 599 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 2: the right head space before decent sized games. It's all gundhy. 600 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: The case for Oklahoma State before the season and even 601 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: at the end of last was well, give Alan Bowman 602 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of credit. Alan Bowman's an experienced hand. 603 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: Alan sure, Alan Bowman, this cast of characters out wide 604 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,959 Speaker 1: with Ali Gordon right like, give him a little bit 605 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: of credit. That was what people told me at the 606 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: end of last year when I was a little bit 607 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: wishy washing in Oklahoma State, and to the extent that 608 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: was true. Yeah, haven't really been able to run the 609 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: ball this year. Feels like the line got worse. Oli 610 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: Gordon is not having near the campaign he did in 611 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. The defense. I remember when they brought 612 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: over Brian Nardo, brought him down from a small school 613 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: in PA. Last season, it was like, well, some things 614 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: are better. This year, it seems like everything's worse. It 615 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: feels really bad. 616 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 2: At least, they tried to put QR codes on their players' 617 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 2: helmets for nil purposes, which I think immediately got shut down. 618 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: Right, this is not me trying to dunk on r 619 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State by any stretch. 620 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: No, the Big Twelve has already done enough of that continue. 621 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: But it's just like, we talked so much about Florida 622 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: State and how the knowles have bottomed out, and I 623 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: have not heard a whole lot of discussion about Oklahoma State. 624 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, maybe because you know, the Big Twelve is 625 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: sort of fun and wacky and there are a thousand possibilities, 626 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: one of which I'll talk about next. But I just 627 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: want to make sure people understand what's going on in 628 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: still Water as well, because that's equally depressing. Yeah. 629 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: I mean, one of the things you pointed out by 630 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 2: the way, I think I don't know if it was 631 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: in the recap show or a previews show something. How 632 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 2: many teams in the MAC are five and four in 633 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 2: this moment, six out of the twelve or five and four, buddy. 634 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 2: You look at any conference, these giant conferences, everybody's three 635 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: and three, four and five, five and four, whatever. It's 636 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: never been easier to be mediocre in college football in 637 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: terms of filling up your roster, filling up so all 638 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 2: we have, you know, a whole linebacker, All right, let's 639 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 2: go to Sam Houston get their best linebacker. 640 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: Whatever. 641 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 2: It's never been easier to build a complete roster and 642 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 2: even the playing field in these conferences. And Oklahoma State 643 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 2: is the team that says it's still pretty hard for us, guys, 644 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 2: It's still pretty hard. 645 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: It's just such a disappointment. It's such a disappointment because 646 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: I remember specifically when we had that discussion about Oklahoma State, 647 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: I believe was Scott right from the Oklahoma Yeah. The 648 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: framing of our questions, the framing of that whole debate, 649 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: was is it an Oklahoma State thing keeping them right 650 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: from achieving more? Is it a Texas and Oklahoma thing 651 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: standing in their way preventing them from achieving more? You 652 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: could argue a little bit of both. But it's been 653 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 1: an interesting experiment to see what would happen if those 654 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: two schools founding members of the conference leave and it's 655 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: just Oklahoma State standing there with a bunch of returning 656 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: production and a schedule that seemed favorable. Yeah, hasn't worked, 657 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: has not worked at all. 658 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 2: It's almost like when I don't know if it was 659 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 2: last year for you, when I built the altar of 660 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 2: dan because I was the sheriffs thing in college football 661 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 2: picking because I was like twenty eight percent against the spread, 662 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: which is actually really good. It's very difficult to be 663 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 2: that bad. In that same way, it's very difficult to 664 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 2: be oh and seven in the Big Twelve. There is 665 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 2: so much within a standard deviation of mediocrity in this 666 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 2: conference that you think you would have accidentally beaten two 667 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 2: of these teams, and Oklahoma State can't even do that. 668 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 2: It's actually like what Purdue has done, what Oklahoma State 669 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 2: has done, what Florida State has done. 670 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: It's really difficult. 671 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 2: It's really really difficult to not just happen into two 672 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,760 Speaker 2: or three wins in one of these conferences. 673 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: Let me stay in the Big Twelve here. Credit to 674 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: the walk on red Shirts to tweeted out something about this, 675 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: and it got me thinking and looking into it a 676 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: little bit more, please, there is a scenario in which 677 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: Utah beats Colorado this weekend. West Virginia wins out and 678 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 1: gets into a three way tie for second place, wins 679 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 1: the tiebreaker, and goes to the Big twelve title game. Okay. 680 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: ESPN puts the odds of this at two point three percent. Okay, 681 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: and it would require a three way tie in order 682 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: for it to work. But I was thinking about this 683 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: a lot because we've talked a fair amount about West Virginia. 684 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: I was really high in West Virginia coming into the 685 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: year and things haven't quite gone to that plan. They 686 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: of course decided to keep Neil Brown around to whatever 687 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: degree at the end of last season. Remember that was 688 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: the big debate kind of turned the year round and 689 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: brought Neil Brown back again. But now again there are 690 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: people calling for his head because this has been a 691 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: bit of a disappointing campaign. Would this not be the 692 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: greatest trick Neil Brown ever played on the West Virginia 693 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: fan base if he went to a title game? What 694 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: a title game and got a first round buy in 695 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: a college football playoff game? 696 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 2: Okay, So two of his final three games are at 697 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 2: home and all West Virginia does is lose in Morgantown. 698 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 2: I know exclusively lose in Morgantown. There's a reason it 699 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 2: is two point three percent. I think it's zero point 700 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 2: six percent. It's less than one percent of making the playoff. 701 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 2: But because the Big twelve is a bit of a hash. 702 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 1: At the minute, and because it feels like it's in 703 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: anything goes weekend every time these guys play, just want 704 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: to call this out that there is a possibility out 705 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: there because you know, I like my crazy tiebreaker scenario, yeah, 706 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: of course, or West Virginia ends up playing for something. 707 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's also a possibility that's starting tonight. You start 708 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 2: working on your vertical jump and really hammering your quads 709 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 2: and your squats and doing all sorts of exercises, and 710 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 2: you're just impressing everybody at the why with your tomahawk jams. 711 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 2: Next summer, TI, there's a two point three percent chance 712 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 2: of that happening. 713 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: But could you dunk if you worked on your vertical leap? 714 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: Sure you think you could do it? 715 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm around six to one, depending on how much 716 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 2: I've shrunk in my old age, right, Yes, I definitely could. 717 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 2: I am of average athleticism that if I did nothing 718 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 2: but train. Sure, I think I could. 719 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: It would be an interesting off season endeavor for us 720 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 1: to both hammer the glutes, hammer the cavs, and see 721 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: if one of us can dunk by the start of 722 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah. 723 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 2: I think there's like very straightforward exercises. You just have 724 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 2: to do it every day. I'm just saying I appreciate 725 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 2: the wild nature of this possibility, but it's hard for 726 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 2: me to even to squint and see it happening. Even 727 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 2: the Utah beating Colorado element of this, I know, I 728 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: listen in this moment, we're. 729 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: Both pretty high in Colorado. So yeah, they're probably gonna 730 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,399 Speaker 1: win this conference. My final thing here that I jotted down, 731 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've got stuff. I want to turn the 732 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: floor over to you. I've been doing a lot of talking. 733 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: I apologize for all now. People prefer it is Nebraska 734 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 1: going to get the six wins? Oh, it's a good question. 735 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: On a bye last week, but coming off of a 736 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: loss against UCLA, Yeah, three games left at USC home 737 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: against Wisconsin, on the road at Iowa. Should be favored 738 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: at home against Wisconsin, maybe by three points, maybe by 739 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: three points. I think they are a dog against the 740 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:57,240 Speaker 1: other two on the road. Yeah, this season started off 741 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 1: like a ball of fire with Dylan Rola. Since then, 742 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: there has definitely been more of a normalization effect that 743 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: has taken on audio term for the dorks out there. Hello, 744 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: my name's Ty. I'm not so sure they're getting the 745 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: six wins Dan, and I'm curious to know from Nebraska 746 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: fans how they feel about this. What is your vibe 747 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: on this season? How has this felt to you as 748 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: a Nebraska fan? 749 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 2: Oh, opening up a can of rancid corn here? Probably 750 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:29,399 Speaker 2: not great. 751 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: It just feels like a lot of shredding water, like 752 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: what but like positive things like you still feel good 753 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: about Delan Royala. But he's a true freshman and he 754 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: started to show he's more of a true freshman. Took 755 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: Ohio State to the guns. So we know that the 756 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: defense can play well. Yeah, offense still a very big question. 757 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: Are they going to get the six wins? Dan? Would 758 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: you bet on them getting the six wins? Right now? 759 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: They need one. They just need to win one of 760 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: those three. 761 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's never been easier to be an average team. 762 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 2: Nebraska has some issues and they are turning to the 763 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 2: Knight in Shining Armor with a scullet and a four 764 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 2: loco of some kind in his hands. Dana Holgerson Phil 765 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 2: snowsback as a sort of consultant of some kind. Hasn't 766 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 2: really been the defense's issue. I mean, defense was an 767 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 2: issue against Indiana, but otherwise they've held teams down. I 768 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 2: mean it was what twenty four points in regulation Illinois. 769 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 2: Everybody else is scoring about twenty points. Ucla scored twenty seven. 770 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 2: Have a bye week going into the sc game. Another 771 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 2: broken team in USC so maybe there's opportunity there. They're 772 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 2: making a quarterback change going to Jade Mayava. Wisconsin seems 773 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 2: pretty broken on offense. I was good, but they just 774 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 2: went and lost to UCLA. It's never a good place 775 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 2: to be in when you're just like, we just need 776 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 2: one of these teams against one of these games against 777 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 2: an average team to go our way. And so the 778 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 2: Matt Rule vibes so far very good for Nebraska. The 779 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 2: Matt Rule results. What has change from year one to 780 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 2: year two? Results wise? I guess fewer turnovers on offense, 781 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 2: there's more optimism for the future, But I don't know. 782 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 2: It feels pretty similar and I don't know, man, I 783 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 2: think Matt Rule gave a press conference and he was 784 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 2: asked something like what you know, what is what do 785 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,720 Speaker 2: you see as like big picture being wrong with the offense, 786 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 2: And I'm paraphrasing here, and his answer was just. 787 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: Like a good question, man, it's a good question. Like 788 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: he was deep in his feelings, in his thoughts in 789 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,280 Speaker 1: that moment. And unfortunately it seems to be a recurring 790 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: theme with some Matt Rule teams, both in college and 791 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: in the prog GOSHA. So, yes, they absolutely have an 792 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to go to their first bowl game since what 793 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. 794 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 2: Yep, they'll be excited to do so. Beating Nebraska would 795 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 2: be Beating Wisconsin would be great, Beating SCNLA would be great. 796 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 2: At Iowa is going to be very difficult for them. 797 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 2: But when was the last time this team's where I 798 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 2: guess thirty points would have been in Northern Iowa. So 799 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 2: the last time they scored? Man, have they scored thirty 800 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 2: points against an FBS team? 801 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: It has been a minute. 802 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 2: Not Colorado, not Illinois, not Purdue, not Rutgers, not Indiana, 803 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 2: not Ohio State, not UCLA. 804 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you one interesting wrinkle for the game this weekend. 805 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: It's at four o'clock on Fox Nebraska on the road 806 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: at USC. I jotted it down on our shared spreadsheet, 807 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: USC minus nine. Let's just go ahead and take the 808 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: plus nine. All these teams do is play one score 809 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 1: games against most of the teams are their schedule. Yeah, 810 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: I would take those points happily before it comes down, 811 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: and I think it will come down. 812 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 2: Yeah. And you're supposed to get better as your true 813 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 2: freshman quarterback gets more comfortable, supposed to get a little 814 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 2: things are supposed to get easier. And who broke them? 815 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 2: Rutgers broke them? Was that the theory they got infected 816 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 2: with some scarlet fever? 817 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: Yep, that's tough. By the way, I found our Snow 818 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: advisory sound from back in the day, Bob Cover coming 819 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: up from Waco, Waco, Raco. That was the old this 820 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: isn't the problem. That was the old Phil Snow sound. Yeah, no, no, no, 821 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: it was that. I think that was intended as a 822 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: compliment for Phil Snow. So we know what I'm saying, 823 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: bringing in Phil Snow to consults. I know, I don't 824 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: know that defense has been truly. I mean, it was 825 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: the problem against Indiana, but otherwise I'll look for it here. 826 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: I also have a Daniel Holgerson sound that I used 827 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: to play back in the day. I'll find that one. 828 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: What are your takes here? What are your thoughts, your 829 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,399 Speaker 1: leftover emotions from week twelve before we turn it over 830 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: to our game and let the fine people go. 831 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,399 Speaker 2: I watched Washington Penn State for the first time because 832 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 2: you're just not going to convince me to dedicate a 833 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 2: TV to Peacock unless it's my team or a huge game. Yeah, 834 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 2: and so didn't watch that. Penn State looked impressive. Washington 835 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 2: could not at all get to Drew Aller. He was 836 00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 2: very clean. They generated easier plays against this Washington defense. 837 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 2: Washington could not at all block Penn State upfront. I 838 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 2: came away very impressed by the effort and the ability 839 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 2: to finish from the Penn State defensive front. I again 840 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 2: hated to see Penn State's goal line ish offense, like 841 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 2: inside the ten, We're like, let's go to the backup 842 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 2: quarterback and the tight end take things over. We're just like, 843 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 2: this might be why you're struggling on first, second, third, 844 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,320 Speaker 2: and fourth and goal against Ohio State, that you don't 845 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 2: have consistently successful reps and opportunities for Drew Aller in 846 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 2: high leverage moments and it's just let's do some fun 847 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 2: stuff with Bo Prebula. Tye obviously has said that Bo 848 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 2: Prabula might be better than Drew Aller. So there's that. 849 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,760 Speaker 1: I don't think I said that. I never said that. 850 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:51,720 Speaker 2: You went up three octaves. You're like, after he showed 851 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 2: out against somebody. 852 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:57,800 Speaker 1: That was raw emotion talking, because I was subsequently slapped 853 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 1: down from that perspective from folks in the YouTube comments. 854 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 2: Yeah Tie, ever the hoe for Bo? Yeah yeah, so no, 855 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 2: that was the issue I had. We're like, it's fun 856 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 2: that you have a direct snap to Tyler Warren and 857 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 2: he like jumps over the pile and scores a touchdown, 858 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 2: or it's fun that Bo Brabula runs it in from 859 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 2: seven yards out. Well, what's going to happen against a 860 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 2: team in the Big Ten championship game or next year 861 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 2: against Ohio State or whoever? And it's you know, whoever 862 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 2: the starting quarterback is next year? Because what Drew Aler 863 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 2: is eligible right to be drafted? Yeah, correct, I don't 864 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 2: know that sort of What are you doing against the 865 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 2: average teams, the below average teams to get your team 866 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 2: more and more comfortable? That's where I like was started 867 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 2: paying attention to Penn state dominant performance. They weren't as 868 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 2: good in the second half, but you played differently when 869 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 2: you're up whatever, it was twenty eight to three than 870 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 2: you do when it's fourteen to nothing. But Washington seems 871 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 2: to be like a team that is suddenly very much 872 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 2: in flux after seeing decent will Rogers really struggled against 873 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 2: Penn State, and so they made the change. I actually like, 874 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 2: I think it's Demond Williams, the backup for Washington. I 875 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 2: thought he had a spark. I thought he gave him 876 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 2: something interesting. 877 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: What else you got from me? 878 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,280 Speaker 2: Otherwise? I'm just glad Maction, you know, early to midweek 879 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,360 Speaker 2: Maction is back. I came away very impressed with the 880 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 2: Duke against NC State, and that was a game in 881 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 2: which I thought NC State was going to win, but 882 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 2: the Duke defense just smothered them, you know, really showed 883 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 2: a lot of looks at CJ. Bailey that he could 884 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 2: not ingest properly. I guess is a weird way of 885 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 2: phrasing it, but that, especially given how they lost to SMU, 886 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 2: I'm making note that Manny Diaz has this Duke team 887 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 2: in like a healthy spot mentally to go and win 888 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 2: that game on the road against NC State the week after. 889 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 2: We didn't talk about too much with Michigan Indiana. Michigan's 890 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 2: gonna need to spend a lot of money on an 891 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator in the next month or two because you 892 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 2: can point to the quarterback stuff you keep putting in 893 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 2: alex Orgy, and everybody knows what's coming. It's a runner 894 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 2: at trick play of some kind. 895 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, I've looked at one point, big moments 896 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: in the red zone continue. I looked at one point 897 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 1: on game on paper. Dot car friends over at game 898 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,479 Speaker 1: on paper and they do a thing where they will 899 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: calculate expected points added a EPA per play per player, yes, right, 900 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: which will show you who is contributing to a team winning, 901 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 1: who is contributing to a team's troubles. At one point 902 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 1: in the game, and I don't know where it finished up, 903 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 1: alex Orgy was almost negative two points per play every 904 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,400 Speaker 1: time he was in the game, every time he was 905 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: getting a carry in this game this past weekend against Indiana. 906 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: So just they they fight a way to quantify it. 907 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: We can see it with our own eyes. He doesn't 908 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,240 Speaker 1: add anything to the offense. And that was the beef 909 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,439 Speaker 1: that I had with him in that Oregon game. And 910 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: just the way that they are using him seems a 911 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: bit puzzling. You know, it's one thing if you're going 912 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 1: to bring him in for a series. It's one thing 913 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: if you're going to bring him in to at least 914 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 1: give the threat of throwing the football. But they're not 915 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: even doing that. We saw down at the goal line 916 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 1: against Oregon. The threat of throwing the football came from 917 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: a wide receiver. It didn't even come from Orgy. It 918 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: was like an end, a round pass, a throwback. So 919 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: he is offering nothing with respect to any kind of 920 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 1: variability in the offense. You bring him in the expectation 921 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,359 Speaker 1: he's going to run. Everybody knows he's going to run. 922 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: I just don't know why they keep doing it. 923 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,760 Speaker 2: I mean, Michigan's running an offense in which it seems 924 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 2: that they don't care who's on the offense. This is 925 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 2: what they're going to run, come hell or high water. 926 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 2: And that's a show and more problem. 927 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: Colston Lovelin, excuse me, he's having a great season. He's great. 928 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 2: Should have transferred somewhere good and you know it all 929 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 2: it's all sort of for not other than the fact 930 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 2: that I'm sure he loves Michigan, so good for him. Otherwise, 931 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 2: across the sport, Toulane's lurking man. I watched some of 932 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:56,399 Speaker 2: that game. I didn't watch a lot of the game, 933 00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 2: but they just destroyed Temple like immediately. Lane versus Navy 934 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,879 Speaker 2: this week, I can't wait. Tulane favored by about six 935 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 2: and a half points against Navy. That game's at high 936 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 2: noon on ESPN two. That'll be an interesting contest. 937 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:16,560 Speaker 1: That certainly has real significance in the American certainly has 938 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: real significance. I think with just an I for that 939 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,840 Speaker 1: G five playoff spot, there's only a select few teams 940 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 1: that I think at this point have a real shot 941 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: at it, and Toulaine's one of them. 942 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 2: I think they're good. I also, I don't know if 943 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 2: I recognize that West Virginia. I went back and watched 944 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 2: West Virginia Cincinnati. West Virginia scored seventeen points against Cincinnati 945 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,919 Speaker 2: and got a scoop and score touchdown and a pick six. Yep, win, 946 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 2: how you can. Good for West Virginia. But that's why 947 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 2: they're in your miracle position to apparently win the big 948 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 2: twelve crazy all right, but yeah, that's all I have. 949 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 1: It's player for a baller game, real quick? 950 00:49:52,840 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 2: Okay, Dead Rubben, stay talked to me. 951 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: You're the contestant today in a little game we're calling 952 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: here in the solid very well greater than less than. 953 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,280 Speaker 1: I am going to give you a list of teams. 954 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 1: You need to tell me how you think that team 955 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:18,640 Speaker 1: would fare against others in our Verballer Top twelve pole. Dan, Okay, 956 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 1: do you like my game show voice? How did I do? 957 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 2: Nailed it? You absolutely nailed it. 958 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: Starting off with a team that has a fifty nine 959 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,239 Speaker 1: percent chance of making the college football playoff. They are 960 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: in our for Baller Top twelve pole. Not all of 961 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 1: these teams are going to discuss. Are how many teams 962 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 1: in ore for Baller Top twelve pole would be? Why 963 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:41,239 Speaker 1: you beat Dan Rubinstein. I presume you've got the for 964 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,439 Speaker 1: Baller Top twelve pole in front of you. I will 965 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: link it up in the description to this year episode 966 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 1: so that people can refer back to it as well. 967 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 1: Right now, we've got BYU at number seven again. Just 968 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: to recap, it's Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Indiana, penn State, Tennessee. 969 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: That's your top six to round things out, it's BYU 970 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 1: at seven, by Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia, Miami, and Old Miss. 971 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: So of those twelve teams. Of those other eleven teams, 972 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, recite for me the names of the 973 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 1: teams that you think BYU would beat if they made 974 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: it into the playoff. 975 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 2: I think the team I would wager on BYU to 976 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 2: beat most confidently, I guess would be Miami, just because 977 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: of the Miami defense and letting teams, you know, go 978 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 2: long stretches scoring points and Jake Rhetz laugh could have 979 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,359 Speaker 2: some success and has scored points with BYU this year. 980 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 2: What about Indiana, I would take Indiana. They're buttoned up. 981 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:37,280 Speaker 2: They throttle teams. 982 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 1: Now. 983 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 2: They didn't throttle Michigan. They didn't do anything in the 984 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 2: second half. I think they were a little bit beat 985 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,720 Speaker 2: up on the offensive line, which whatever. I'm more confident 986 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 2: in Indiana right now to win in more ways than 987 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,400 Speaker 2: by You can. And by the way, I would take Miami, 988 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,400 Speaker 2: but I think by you can beat Miami. 989 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 1: The thing that really set me off was I felt 990 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: like they got owned at the long A scrimmage and 991 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 1: all of the teams on this list, maybe with the 992 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 1: exception of Indiana, but Indiana has been pretty buttoned up. 993 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 1: As you said, all of these teams have really good 994 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,800 Speaker 1: line play, defensive line play. That would be the matchup 995 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,359 Speaker 1: that would concern me, and I think to the point 996 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 1: of what we saw in that Utah game, they didn't 997 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 1: lean as heavily on Mackay Bernard as I think they 998 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 1: could have. But whether it was Brandon Rose who got 999 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: to start a quarterback, or whether it was Bernard himself, 1000 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 1: they were able to get things going on the ground. 1001 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 1: I feel like most of the teams in this list 1002 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: could do that as well. I sold on BYU beating 1003 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,799 Speaker 1: a team like an Old miss which we know has 1004 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: really good line play, which we know can run the 1005 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,879 Speaker 1: football as well when they want to. Certainly Ohio State 1006 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: with all their weapons and how good they've been at 1007 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 1: least on the defensive line side of things. Oregon. I 1008 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 1: mean that goes without saying maybe Indiana, but it's a 1009 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 1: maybe for me. I'm not sure they beat more than 1010 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:06,280 Speaker 1: one team on this list. 1011 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 2: Again, we would be so much more impressed with BYU 1012 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,799 Speaker 2: if they had lost a game. Weird to say, but 1013 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,600 Speaker 2: I think that's true because now we're looking at them 1014 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 2: through a different shade of lens. 1015 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: Oh Miss sixty one percent chance of making the college 1016 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: football Playoff. By the way, this is per the ESPNFPI. Okay, 1017 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: as you look at this top twelve, they are number twelve. 1018 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:28,920 Speaker 1: Do they beat Miami? 1019 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 2: I would yes. 1020 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,759 Speaker 1: We just saw they beat Georgia, so that's two. Do 1021 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 1: they beat Alabama they play. 1022 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 2: I'm fifty to fifty on that just because of the struggles, 1023 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 2: but it's not Nick Sabanbama. Yeah. 1024 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:43,959 Speaker 1: Do they beat Notre Dame. 1025 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 2: I would feel on a neutral field decently about their 1026 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 2: chances to beat Notre Dame. 1027 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think we feel similarly about BYU. That's four teams, Tennessee. 1028 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 2: Healthy, Nico. I'd probably take Tennessee because ole Miss has 1029 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,800 Speaker 2: had trouble against teams that are. 1030 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: I would take ole Miss, Dan come on. 1031 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, ole Miss is the how's the throttle Geam, I'm 1032 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 2: gonna go ole Miss, Penn State. I mean James Franklin 1033 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:21,720 Speaker 2: in a big game, that take ole Miss. Yeah, Indiana probably, 1034 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:22,560 Speaker 2: Ole Miss. 1035 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,400 Speaker 1: Texas, take Texas, Ohio State and take Ohio State. Oregon. 1036 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,919 Speaker 1: You take Oregon. Probably. It's seven teams. It's pretty good, 1037 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,520 Speaker 1: not bad. I think I agree with you on all 1038 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:39,359 Speaker 1: of those. Okay, Georgia. Georgie's got seventy four percent chance 1039 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 1: of making the playoff, but george is in a weird spot, 1040 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 1: and Georgia plays Tennessee this week, which we will preview 1041 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 1: on the Thursday episode. I kind of don't know how 1042 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,960 Speaker 1: to answer this for Georgia. The thing that I'm really 1043 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,760 Speaker 1: stuck up on with them is I have no idea 1044 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,320 Speaker 1: which direction the offense is headed. Like I talked about 1045 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks back. Now you can go 1046 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: back and listen to it, and it was what Georgia 1047 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,759 Speaker 1: is doing on first and second down relative to the 1048 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 1: run is having a knock on effect with how they 1049 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 1: use the pass. And in this instance that we've seen 1050 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: actually the last two weeks running now where Carson Beck 1051 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: isn't as efficient, isn't as responsible with the football, turning 1052 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 1: the ball over a little bit more. It has like 1053 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,319 Speaker 1: a worrying effect on the whole project on offense. We 1054 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,040 Speaker 1: have seen that persist. I do not feel like this 1055 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: is a team on offense that is getting better. They're 1056 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,879 Speaker 1: still struggling to find some of their playmakers. I think 1057 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 1: with more pressure on Carson Beck, we are seeing that. 1058 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 1: You know, there are ways that this team can be 1059 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 1: attacked that we have not seen in the past. So 1060 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 1: I see Georgia at ten or of a ball Our 1061 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: Top twelve poll, which feels about right to me. I 1062 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: don't know my level of confidence with them beating a 1063 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: number of teams in this list, Like I feel like 1064 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,800 Speaker 1: they're going to beat BYU. I feel like they probably 1065 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 1: beat Indiana just because they've got more talent than those schools. Right, Miami, 1066 00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 1: there's a question about Miami. You got to score to 1067 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:05,759 Speaker 1: beat my Amy? Can they score? Don't know? I mean 1068 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 1: I think they could beat Penn State. It's like fifty 1069 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,360 Speaker 1: to fifty proposition for me as I look up and 1070 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 1: down this list. 1071 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have them struggling against Notre Dame. I 1072 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 2: would have them struggling against Tennessee. 1073 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 1: We'll see. 1074 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,239 Speaker 2: I haven't made a pick for that game yet. That's 1075 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 2: coming up Saturday, right, correct. I mean they beat Texas, 1076 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 2: they beat the number three team, So you can't with 1077 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 2: certainty say anything other than sometimes the real Georgia shows up. 1078 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,320 Speaker 2: But that's also a Georgia team that struggled on offense 1079 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 2: for a good chunk of that game. So they were 1080 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:44,319 Speaker 2: able to put the clamps on Texas defensively. But no, 1081 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 2: I think I think just don't think Georgia is completed. 1082 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 2: I think they don't know what they want out of 1083 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 2: their offense, and their secondary has struggled for large stretches 1084 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 2: of the year. Yeah, I think at their best their 1085 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:02,399 Speaker 2: top five team, and we very rarely get that. So yeah, 1086 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,240 Speaker 2: I think there'll be three or four teams on this list. 1087 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,040 Speaker 1: Let me give you a couple more here. I'm not 1088 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,400 Speaker 1: going to do every team in my list. Okay, Indiana 1089 00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 1: has a ninety three percent chance of making the college 1090 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 1: football playoff. That's incredible. Good for them. Can we just 1091 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 1: take a knee for a second and acknowledge how awesome 1092 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 1: that is? Yeah, for Kurt Signetti to have this Indiana 1093 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: team with a ninety three percent chance of making the playoff. 1094 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 1: They're ten to zero for the first time in program history. 1095 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 1: They've got a big one coming up next week against 1096 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: Ohio State that's going to be very significant. Right as 1097 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 1: things go, right now, the way this is shaken out, 1098 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 1: you win one of those two, you're in. Certainly you 1099 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 1: beat Ohio State, you're in, I think, one way or another. 1100 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 1: As you look up and down our top twelve. How 1101 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 1: many of these teams are you confident that Indiana is 1102 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 1: beating one? See? Because here's the thing, right, if we're 1103 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 1: going to play it this way with Georgia, if if 1104 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,000 Speaker 1: we are, I'm not saying we are, but if people 1105 00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:06,439 Speaker 1: are going to give Georgia credit for who it once was, right, 1106 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 1: there is also an element of this with Indiana which 1107 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 1: cuts the other way. Indiana has been a doormat for 1108 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 1: the majority of time that you and I have done 1109 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 1: this podcast. They've never been this good, right even close 1110 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 1: to it. So how much is our bias from Indiana 1111 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: of years past creeping into Indiana of present. 1112 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 2: No, my bias of Indiana years past does not exist 1113 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 2: at all in my mind. Okay, you know, obviously there's 1114 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 2: like unconscious bias something. Indiana has played nobody and has 1115 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 2: treated those teams accordingly, nobody impressive, nobody that seems to 1116 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 2: be like a top forty ish team, and they played 1117 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 2: Michigan was not that good and could not adjust at 1118 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 2: all to what Michigan was doing on defense. And so 1119 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 2: my bias is being a prisoner of the moment, maybe 1120 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,360 Speaker 2: to too much of a degree. But sing Indiana at 1121 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 2: home against a deeply flawed Michigan offense and still a 1122 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,480 Speaker 2: decent Michigan defense, but overall Michigan is not terribly impressive 1123 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:14,600 Speaker 2: this year. And seeing Indiana struggle in that way with 1124 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 2: Curtis work on the field, wasn't it Tavid Jackson game 1125 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 2: that affected me? 1126 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 1: And they have an. 1127 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 2: Opportunity to fully erase that feeling. I have that emotion 1128 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 2: I have against Ohio State, But when you play Maryland, 1129 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:36,760 Speaker 2: Northwestern UCLA, Michigan State, it's super impressive within the context 1130 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 2: of Indiana. But when you have that opportunity against Michigan 1131 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:45,439 Speaker 2: and you need every second of that game, suddenly that yeah, 1132 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 2: I think they'd beat BYU. But as I look at 1133 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 2: this list, I think it's a different animal. I think 1134 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 2: then you're talking about like TCU Georgia. You're like, oh, 1135 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 2: this is this is different. This is a different animal, 1136 00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 2: different change. So yeah, let me ask you this methetically. 1137 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Indiana in two weeks beats Ohio State. 1138 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 2: Uh huh. 1139 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 1: It's a different conversation. Different conversation, right, So we're so if. 1140 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 2: You asked me the same question in two weeks after 1141 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 2: Indiana has beaten Ohio State, how many of these teams 1142 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 2: and Let's say it's I don't know, thirty to twenty 1143 01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 2: seven something like that against It would. 1144 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 1: Have to be high scoring. It's not going to be 1145 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 1: a rock fight, right if they win their score in 1146 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:26,680 Speaker 1: thirty three points? Right? 1147 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,320 Speaker 2: So, how many of these teams? So you'd put Indiana 1148 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,880 Speaker 2: over Ohio State, probably over Texas, depending on how Texas finishes. 1149 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 2: I'd put Indiana over Penn States certainly, and they are 1150 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 2: in this ranking. Put them over Tennessee, put them over 1151 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,960 Speaker 2: Notre Dame, put them over Bama, Georgia, Ole, miss whatever. 1152 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,560 Speaker 2: I'd put them over confidently five or six. 1153 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 1: They can lose. 1154 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,320 Speaker 2: They can still lose to those teams. But yes, that 1155 01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 2: would go a long way. As for me feeling better 1156 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 2: about you know, in Indiana, Tennessee. In what Tavin Jackson 1157 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 2: matchup Tavin Jackson in Indiana against Notre Dame battling for 1158 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 2: the state supremacy. 1159 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 1: All right, two more, I'm gonna do two more here 1160 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 1: real quick. Let's Colorado. How many of these teams do 1161 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:18,760 Speaker 1: I think Colorado could beat? Colorado? Right now has about 1162 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 1: a twenty seven percent chance per ESPR of banking the 1163 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 1: college football Playoff. You and I I think are of 1164 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,480 Speaker 1: the mind that Colorado is gonna win out and because 1165 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,320 Speaker 1: of the word chance, Yeah, because of the way things 1166 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,960 Speaker 1: have gone in the Big Twelve. They're there and they 1167 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,040 Speaker 1: control their own destiny. They do. They control their own 1168 01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,680 Speaker 1: playoff destiny. At this point, they need to win the 1169 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 1: remaining games. They would obviously need to win out over 1170 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 1: presumably BYU, take the Big Twelve, get a first round 1171 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 1: by which would be wild. How many of these teams 1172 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,160 Speaker 1: in over ball our top twelve poll do you think 1173 01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:05,480 Speaker 1: Colorado could beat? I think they could beat Indiana. 1174 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 2: They could beat Indiana. 1175 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: I think they will beat BYU if they play. The 1176 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 1: thing to bear in mind about this Colorado team is 1177 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:22,919 Speaker 1: better defense than a lot of people know. Good passing offense. Yeah, 1178 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,280 Speaker 1: doesn't really care much to run right, doesn't really care 1179 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,520 Speaker 1: that much to protect Shador because he has still been 1180 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 1: under assault most of the season. So it's a lot 1181 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,480 Speaker 1: of their wide receiving cores and it's a lot of 1182 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,840 Speaker 1: their defense setting them up. That has been the engine 1183 01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:47,240 Speaker 1: for this season for Colorado. Could they beat Miami, Ah, 1184 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: I would take Miami. I would take most of these 1185 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,360 Speaker 1: teams to beat Colorado. Yeah, BYU fine, I would take 1186 01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,960 Speaker 1: Indiana to beat Colorado. I think it'd be a shootout. 1187 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 1: I think be forty five forty two. 1188 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 2: It's an unimpressed I don't even know about that. I 1189 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,800 Speaker 2: think it's an unimpressive conference. It's an unimpressive schedule. They 1190 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,160 Speaker 2: should have lost to Baylor, and as a good team 1191 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,160 Speaker 2: does wins a game that they should have lost, or 1192 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 2: at least that was a fortunate way to beat Baylor, 1193 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 2: and so we're talking about a different kind of Colorado 1194 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 2: season if they do lose that game. I think we 1195 01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:26,800 Speaker 2: should just accept Colorado for who they are instead of 1196 01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 2: trying to, like, you know, pound them into a square 1197 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 2: hole or whatever circular peg. 1198 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 1: Well, I'm I'm just asking because there's a chance they 1199 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 1: find their way into the playoff. 1200 01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:39,640 Speaker 2: Oh, I understand. I would have them losing said playoff 1201 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 2: because I don't think their offensive line is of playoff 1202 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 2: caliber and I don't think their defensive line is deep 1203 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 2: enough that against some of these teams they have playmakers 1204 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 2: on the defensive line. I just don't think they have 1205 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 2: the bodies that you'll need if you were to play 1206 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,320 Speaker 2: against Texas or Oregon or Ohio State or Ole Miss 1207 01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 2: or anything like that. I just think it might be 1208 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 2: a bloodbath in the second half and we'll maybe we 1209 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 2: could definitely find out, but that would be my feeling. 1210 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,919 Speaker 1: Final team Notre Dame. Notre Dame sixty seven percent chance 1211 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: of making the college football playoff eighth in our poll. Yes, 1212 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 1: I looked at this. I looked up and down here. 1213 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame beats BYU. I think Notre Dame 1214 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 1: beats Indiana. Yeah, for sure. I think Notre Dame can 1215 01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 1: beat Miami. I think Notre Dame can beat Penn State. 1216 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: I think I think the cutoff for me is Georgia. 1217 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:38,720 Speaker 1: I think with where George is at right now, I 1218 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 1: think Notre Dame could win that game, depending where it is. 1219 01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: I got questions about Ole Miss and the way they're 1220 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 1: playing Oregon, Ohio State, Texas. I think that part goes 1221 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 1: without saying, Okay, Tennessee Georgia, Like one of those two 1222 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: teams is going to be in this poll next week, 1223 01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 1: not both, And so I'm I'm like that to me, 1224 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,440 Speaker 1: I think they can beat Tennessee and not so sure 1225 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,560 Speaker 1: about Georgia. Like, right, that's kind of the meeting middle 1226 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 1: for me. With respect to Notre Dame. 1227 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 2: Notre Dame is interesting. They've taken care of business against 1228 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 2: kind of nobody. Like the Louisville game is impressive period. Yes, 1229 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 2: the way they beat Louisville, good job Texa, A and 1230 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 2: M farther and farther in the rearview mirror, I don't know. 1231 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,919 Speaker 2: It's game one of a new coach, did a great 1232 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,520 Speaker 2: job winning on the road. They obviously have the embarrassing 1233 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 2: blip against NIU, and then it's just like Georgia Tech 1234 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:39,920 Speaker 2: backup quarterback, Stanford collapse team, Florida State Collapse Team, Miami Ohio, 1235 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 2: Purdue collapse team. The data points on Notre Dame don't 1236 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 2: have me super confident they can beat teams in this 1237 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 2: top twelve that have clear and obvious flaws. But like, 1238 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:57,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if they can beat Tennessee. Like, do 1239 01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 2: you feel good about Riley Leonard throwing into the Tennessee 1240 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,920 Speaker 2: defense a beat up offensive line trying to block the 1241 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:02,680 Speaker 2: Tennessee front. 1242 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,600 Speaker 1: I think he'd be running into this defense, is what 1243 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: he'd be doing, right. I think eventually you're gonna have 1244 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 1: to throw on third and twelve, though, I think that 1245 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 1: would be the mindset going up against some of these 1246 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 1: better defenses. 1247 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And Tennessee has their own flaws but just 1248 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,400 Speaker 2: when you look at what Notre Dame has accomplished and 1249 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 2: against whom they accomplish those things, like, probably take Bama 1250 01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 2: the decent chance, I take Georgia decent chance, I take 1251 01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 2: Ole Miss decent chance. I'd take Miami. 1252 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:33,480 Speaker 1: I think the matchup that frightens me is especially since 1253 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,680 Speaker 1: Notre Dame's got a bit of a patchwork secondary at 1254 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 1: this point, after losing Benjamin Morrison. Sure, they've obviously lost 1255 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,880 Speaker 1: some beef upfront as well. A mobile quarterback who can 1256 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:48,480 Speaker 1: extend the play and give talented receivers a chance to 1257 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 1: break off their root tree and find space. 1258 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,120 Speaker 2: What's kind of everybody on here? 1259 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 1: That's my point. 1260 01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 2: Oregon yes, Ohio State, yes, Texas maybe less so, Penn 1261 01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 2: State yes, Tennessee yes, Alabama yes, Georgia somewhat, Miami yes, 1262 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 2: Ole Miss Yes. 1263 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,560 Speaker 1: If you're talking about purely mobile quarterbacks, guys who have 1264 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 1: been guys are athletic enough to buy time, Yeah, guys 1265 01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:15,560 Speaker 1: who have been defined as dual threat. I look at 1266 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:19,120 Speaker 1: Ole Miss, so look at Miami. Yeah, obviously Alabama. 1267 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 2: I mean Tennessee. Nico's not fully that, but yeah he's athletic. 1268 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just a lot on here that I think 1269 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,760 Speaker 1: could give them a trouble. So it's about half and 1270 01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 1: half for me. Yeah, so look right in salverbagmail dot com. Again, 1271 01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 1: I've linked up the Overbowler Top twelve poll. If you're 1272 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,640 Speaker 1: ever so inclined to go back and use that as 1273 01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:43,120 Speaker 1: a reference point, maybe you would disagree with how the 1274 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 1: poll is ranked out. I don't know. You have an 1275 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to change that if you sign up at verbowlers 1276 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 1: dot com commit that to memory to it. This week, Dan, 1277 01:07:55,760 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 1: we have two games that are a little bit We've 1278 01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 1: got UCLA and Washington. Washington favored by three and a 1279 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,640 Speaker 1: half points. That'll be interesting. Nine o'clock on Fox Leave 1280 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 1: on Friday. Got Houston at Arizona, Arizona favored by about 1281 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 1: a point and a half. That'll be interesting contests sort 1282 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 1: of at the back end of the Big twelve. There 1283 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 1: are a bunch of other weekday games to be clear, 1284 01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:19,640 Speaker 1: but those are two that I pulled out that I 1285 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:23,840 Speaker 1: just wanted to make mention of our schedule for the 1286 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,479 Speaker 1: week ahead.

As far as 1294 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,960 Speaker 1: Week twelve's games go, we will, of course find plenty 1295 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 1: of reasons to be interested in these games. It is 1296 01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:58,080 Speaker 1: lacking for star power, though, Oh my god, I can't. 1297 01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 1: I totally disagree. Tennessee Georgia is the big one right now. 1298 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 1: Georgia is favored by nine points. You got Clemson against 1299 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 1: pitt You've got Arizona State at k State, which is 1300 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 1: that's great, really good game. You've got your Oregon Ducks 1301 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: minus fourteen and a half going to Madison. Are you 1302 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 1: going to that game? Did you decide? 1303 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:17,040 Speaker 2: I don't think I'm going to that game.
