1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, one thing you always realize when you're around here,

2
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: round a bunch of people with a bunch of different agendas.

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Some are coaches, media, some our administrators. Is boyd. We

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: sure do define what's good and bad about college football differently.

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors brings us to Dallas.

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Texas, remember the ones that brought you here.

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: By the way, we got folks knocking on our door

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: left and right want to sponsor the show. Now, Academy

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: was there in the beginning, and we are presented by

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: them here in Dallas, Texas, Texas basically.

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: The home of Academy Sports and Outdoors.

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: So we appreciate them. It's good to be in business

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: with them. It's good to be with you. We're jam

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: packed HIATAPI busy downtown Dallas SEC Media days. The curtains

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: kind of coming down on it. You may even hear

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: some ambient noise in the background. That's the sound of

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: a lot of folks getting their work in and wanting

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: to get over to one of two major reports in

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: this town. Not us, though, we soldier on, even though

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: yes we are starting this show like four hours early.

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Wildcard teams in college football, not just the SEC but

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: like all over the place, producer Jesse wanted to call

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: them volatile teams. I just didn't feel the term clicked

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: as well, although it's probably a better term for some

25
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: of these folks. Mike Elko is here like he's in

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: the building right now. Has anyone talked about him? Have

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: you guys even been aware that?

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: You know?

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: Texas A and m fire Jimbo Fisher and they got

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: a new head coach. I got some thoughts on him.

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: You've heard me share it kind of before, but really

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: in depth today. Are we really ever gonna have a

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: commissioner of this sport? Is it possible? How many people

34
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: would have to relinquish power for us to have one?

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: Auto bids? Are they a good thing?

36
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: Even as I go on the air, the eye Josh

37
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: is lighting up with friends of the program talking about

38
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: how great auto bids are, how much hope it gives,

39
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: how many fan bases, and.

40
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Some coaches were on the record this week talking about that.

41
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: So I'll do it today as well. We got a

42
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: lot to get to.

43
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: They're watching us in grape Vine, Texas, Columbus, Georgia, the

44
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: by city over there tuned in Murphysboro, Tennessee, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

45
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys so much.

46
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: The socials have been lit up at Late Kick, Josh,

47
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to tell you if you

48
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: want the behind the scenes stuff, if you want to

49
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: see what it's like at this sort of thing, what

50
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: it's like on game day just in a random venue

51
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: in college football. I try and get you as much

52
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: access as we can, and if that's not enough, we

53
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: do Friday night lines on there as well, so we

54
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: probably make you a lot of.

55
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: Money at Late Kick, Josh.

56
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Okay, let's check in with something I've been waiting to

57
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: do for a little while. I've been waiting to talk

58
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: about this until we at least got some teams on

59
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: the record. We got to hear from coaches a little bit.

60
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: Who are the wild card teams in this sport this year?

61
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Not any given conference, just all over the place, the

62
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: ones where if you did your best and worst case scenarios,

63
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: there would be like a five or six game gap

64
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: between the win loss record. Strangely, I think Alabama belongs

65
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: on here. Not to the degree that you could sit

66
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: there and see him go twelve and oero six and

67
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: six or anything like that, But if you think about

68
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: what the norm has been. The norm has been you

69
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: sort of build that basement, you build that bottom floor.

70
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: A ten wins and it's a.

71
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: Good reason because they haven't been below that since two

72
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: thousand eight. I want to say it is stats an

73
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: info can check me on that. Now all of a sudden,

74
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Kaylin de bor' is there and a lot of us

75
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: think that he'll do good in time. I have said

76
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: several times, and I'll say one more time. I've actually

77
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: ironically got the most questions about his team this year.

78
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Then I think I will down the road, which is

79
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: weird because he takes the baton from a legend. And

80
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, in this post Larry Cooker world of ours,

81
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: you are to assume that the better your situation is,

82
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: the better statistical chance you got in year one and

83
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: then moving forward. But Nick Saban, who is like right

84
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: over here in another room right now, he said earlier

85
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: this week about the team he basically put together. If

86
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: they can stay healthy, they'll be good. It's the depth

87
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: you probably worry about a little bit.

88
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: And you know the whole Jalen Mill road. Does he mesh?

89
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: Do they get as much as you hope they can

90
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: out of the offense. Do they have.

91
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Difference makers up front? Can the secondary be retooled second

92
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: half of the season. The longevity you have to have,

93
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: the luck you have to have, will all that go

94
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: their way. If it does, they could win a national championship.

95
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, it could be like an eight and

96
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: team and all of a sudden you say, well, that's

97
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: not very Alabama of you. So I think they're a

98
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: little bit of a wild card. I think Wisconsin's absolutely

99
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: a wild card. We're gonna head up to Indianapolis next week.

100
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Luke Fickle and the boys. Tyler Van Dyk.

101
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Last time we saw him, we were down in Coral

102
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Gables playing catch with him doing to talk about how

103
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: he was gonna be the Miami quarterback this upcoming year.

104
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: What are you guys gonna do?

105
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Well, it didn't work out and they turned the ball

106
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: over too much, So now he's up there. Frankly, if

107
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: they do that again, Wisconsin won't be anything to write

108
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: home about this year. If he is a better player,

109
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: if they find a way.

110
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: To squeeze more. I've been using the whole sponge metaphor

111
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: a lot lately. If they squeeze the.

112
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Sponge and a lot more comes out than you, of

113
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: course have the normal year one to year two progression

114
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: under elite head coaches. Luke Fickle is one that you

115
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: would expect. And so Wisconsin. They play Alabama early in

116
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: the year. You see the schedule, or Colin.

117
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: Showed you the schedule I think a second ago. You

118
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: see what they have.

119
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: There's some games on there that you would pencil in

120
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: as losses that all of a sudden, if you were

121
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: to turn the corner on a a lot of the

122
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: tangible things that they fell short in last year, they

123
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: could be one of those. And then if they were

124
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: one of those, the age old talking point on this

125
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: show has been do we finally get a healthy Tier

126
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: two in the Big Ten. Wisconsin's not going to be

127
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: at the head table this year, but if they were

128
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: even a Tier two team, it'd be a welcome relief

129
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: because you've had some Tier one, You've had your Michigan's

130
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: and Ohio States, maybe Penn State in a Tier two,

131
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: but there's been nothing. It's been an immense falloff. That's

132
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: the difference in this conference, the SEC versus the Big Ten.

133
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Tier two any given years far more robust in the

134
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: SEC well, if Wisconsin starts doing their thing again, if

135
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: Nebraska started doing their thing again, I could easily.

136
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: Put them in this segment. That did go a long

137
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: way in helping us there.

138
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Arizona, with Brent Brennan and his staff coming over from

139
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: San Jose State, they've been written off, I think cause

140
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: everyone just assumes, well, with Jedfish walking out the door,

141
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: whatever magic Arizona had walked out the door. Well, the

142
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: thing about it is it didn't because the magic was

143
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: at quarterback. The magic was at wide receiver, among other things,

144
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: and those dudes stayed. Those dudes believed they didn't want

145
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: to leave Arizona, which is a good thing. You don't

146
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: have to just bolt because your coach bolts, although you

147
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: should have the right to do it. Arizona has a game,

148
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty early in the season. It's a Friday night game.

149
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: They go to Kansas.

150
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: State, and that one, right there will be one of

151
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: the sneaky mussy games of the year.

152
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Good luck calling that one right now, good luck picking

153
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: that one if anyone has a solid feel on that one.

154
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: But also you'll start to learn a little bit more

155
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: about the team. Even I'm not going to sit here

156
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: and be foolish enough to tell you, well, I think

157
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: I have pretty good read on what Arizona will be

158
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: this year.

159
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: That's why they're a wild card team.

160
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: They could win the Big Twelve, they could finish bottom

161
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: half of the pack, and neither of those scenarios would

162
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: surprise me. Since I'm in Dallas, I would be remiss

163
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: if I didn't pull up a figurative chair and let

164
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: rhet Lashly and SMU have a couple of seconds on

165
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: the program. Here they joined the ACC And I want

166
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: to remind you, guys, if you're watching the show, you're

167
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: not a casual, but you may have some folks in

168
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: your life that don't tune in to college football a

169
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: lot after January. For instance, I was at the downtown

170
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: YMCA last night and some guy just then found out

171
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: that Nick Saban's not at Alabama anymore. And by the way,

172
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: the dude, I'm dead serious. He said, who'd they get?

173
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: And the guy said, is the Washington coach de Boor?

174
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: And he said, man, wait till he finds out what

175
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: it's like recruiting in the South. So again, there are

176
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: some people who said six months behind the curve in

177
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: the sport. So my question to you is. Do your

178
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: friends in your social circle, does your family? Do your

179
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: loved ones know that SMU is actually a power for team?

180
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: Now?

181
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Are they aware that SMU is playing in the ACC

182
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: And let.

183
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: Me speak a little lower here, were all of you

184
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: aware of that? It's okay if you weren't. We don't

185
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: call each other out here publicly, we do privately. But

186
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: SMU could be one of those too.

187
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: You know, they don't have a typical G five elevating

188
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: to P four roster. They've got good players, They've been

189
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: active in the portal, they will continue to be active

190
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: in the They're a team to watch this year. We

191
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: could do the whole five years down the road thing.

192
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: They're a team to watch this year. Look at the

193
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fourth schedule. Look at how enticing a lot

194
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: of those matchups are. By the way, I know some

195
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: of you like to grid out your viewing patterns for

196
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: the season. You probably don't have a whole lot of

197
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: SMU on there. Just ride it in pencil, is all

198
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Not speaking for anyone over there.

199
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: Just write it in pencil.

200
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Because it could be that you get to the middle

201
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: point of the season kind of like a lot of

202
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: you were with Washington last year and someone's in the

203
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: thick of the race and you're saying, I haven't even

204
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: watched them this year.

205
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on USC.

206
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Yes, of course they belong here because it could either

207
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: go fantastically horribly wrong defensively again, or the moves that

208
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley made and bringing D'Anton lynn across town from

209
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Westwood that could pay off.

210
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: Sort of the same deal with LSU.

211
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: Even though there's not massive overhaul personnel wise, you just

212
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: hope the staff upgrades equal an upgrade in production. You're

213
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: not gonna be elite, but you just hope to be better.

214
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: If they're that a USC could be a contender in

215
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, they should be a contender in the

216
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Big Ten. The schedule is interesting because they don't play Oregon,

217
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: they don't.

218
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: Play Ohio State. They got a lot of question games.

219
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: USC against LSU in Week one, two teams ironically that

220
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: have some of the same questions when they go to Michigan,

221
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: do we fully know that Michigan will just be what

222
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be. They got Wisconsin, they got Penn State,

223
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: so like a lot of that where there are questions

224
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: on the USC side they could just diseasily say yeah,

225
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: but there are questions on the other side, and I

226
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: have to go, yeah, that's what makes you a wildcard team.

227
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: And LT's use another wildcard team since you see them

228
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: on the schedule there for usc, l's use an absolute

229
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: wildcard team over under win total. We've been looking at

230
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: this for a while now. They over went over under

231
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: Wintal's kind of fluctuated for them, and I've thought the

232
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: expectation level may be a tick too high based on

233
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: the amount of question they have, but I could be wrong.

234
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: About that as well.

235
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: You get your expectation built up in June and July

236
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: about every team in college football of note, and then

237
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: you watch them in Week one's it's like someone reaches

238
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: through the TV screen and grabs your shoulders and shakes

239
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: you and you're.

240
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: Like, WHOA, that's not the way I pictured them.

241
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: So maybe that's LSU, but they're overrun. The wint hold

242
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,479
Speaker 1: is nine and a half, and that's lofty. That's like Tennessee,

243
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: that's Alabama, that's Missouri, that's Old miss that's the neighborhood

244
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: they're hanging out in. And when you got questions up

245
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: front defensively, like they have. Then that makes your wildcard team,

246
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: because you could be ten and two and you can

247
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: be six and six. And I don't certainly think I

248
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: lean towards the ladder there. But those are some of

249
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: the wildcard teams. That's not an exhaustive list, because I'm

250
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: pretty sure you guys could go like another dozen deep

251
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: on those and probably get me to mostly agree with you.

252
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: Happy to have you guys in. It's a much earlier

253
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: show than usual.

254
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure that some people, even in my own immediate

255
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: family will tune in later tonight and say, where's the show?

256
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: Oh, it aired four hours ago.

257
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: We are beholden to what kind of flights we can

258
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: get out of here and what time we get out

259
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: of here, So subscribe to the channel. After all that,

260
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: I say, subscribe to the channel. Thank you so much

261
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: for watching and supporting. We have gotten just wall to

262
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: wall compliments all week here. A lot of people in

263
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: our industry enjoy what we're doing. I care that you

264
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: enjoy what we're doing, and I appreciate it so much. Okay,

265
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: So I would imagine about right now, teams are starting

266
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: to head down to their sprinter vans to get over

267
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: the airport they get a little bit different kind of

268
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: travel than we do. But nevertheless, Mike Elcho and Texas

269
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: A and M we're here today. They've flown under the

270
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: radar for months. Maybe some people don't even know ANM

271
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: made a coaching hire, and so we do, of course.

272
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: So here's what I want to do. I told you

273
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: guys this morning, Colin, if you're listening to me way

274
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: back in Nashville, keep this up for a second, immunity.

275
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: What I wanted to do was give you a little

276
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: taste of what the Lake Cack Extra normally is. And

277
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: that's mailbag. But I wanted to build our show around

278
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: it today. So you see the question there, what if

279
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Texas A and M bookends their season with home war

280
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: against Notre Dame and Texas. That's not promising anything else.

281
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: That's just what if Mike Elko's first game as head

282
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: coach at A and M is a win over Notre Dame.

283
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Notre Dame will be a consensus top ten team. I'd

284
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: imagine they are a bona fide playoff contender. They'll be

285
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: on the fringes of championship contention conversation.

286
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: So what if you do that?

287
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: That's part one it's one massive domino. That just means

288
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: there's just a ton of momentum. There's jews like everyone's

289
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: Jack Billy Lucci is the most booked guest on shows

290
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: coast to coast. But then what if you get to

291
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: the end of the year and who knows what they've done.

292
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they're a playoff contender themselves. But what if they

293
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: get to the end of the year and then Texas

294
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: comes to College Station and then they beat them as well.

295
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: That's one of those deals where you could you could

296
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: go eight to nine, you go eight and four. I

297
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: don't know how you'd win eight games with those two

298
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: being wins. You probably win more than that. But even

299
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: if you won eight or nine games and you didn't

300
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: go to the playoff, you didn't go to the SEC

301
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: championship game, Dude, in year one of Mike Elko there

302
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: when these are the games you fell short in too

303
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: often under Jimbo Fisher. If you got that done in

304
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: year one, then it would mean well, it would mean

305
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: you got the right guy.

306
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: And I don't think they're doubting it.

307
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: But honestly, guys, I don't think a lot of folks

308
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: who even watch this sport carefully and watch this sport

309
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: a lot understand anything about Mike Elko. I don't think

310
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: they know a thing about him. I think they think

311
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: of Elko as that dude who's been a high profile

312
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: assistant at Notre Dame in A and M. And then

313
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: they kind of snapped their fingers and they well, where

314
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: was he?

315
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: Where was he was at? Duke? Was that? What? Yeah? Duke?

316
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: And then you nod your head and they say, uh,

317
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't they beat Clemson or something like that. That's basically

318
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: the public recall on Mike Elko. Mike Elko, I've said

319
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: this a few times. I'll say it a few more,

320
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to the season. I don't have

321
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: to say it anymore. Mike Elko is a known commodity

322
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: amongst football people.

323
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: No one in the football space doubts him, No one

324
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: in college station doubts him.

325
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: But hey, everyone hires a coach and then believes in him,

326
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: so that alan's not proof he's going to do anything.

327
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: Think about what they liked there, They never liked resource.

328
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I've been a big believer that they've got the resources

329
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: to be a premier program. They've made bad higher after

330
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: bad higher, So I think they made the right higher here.

331
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: They hired a guy though that had to get it

332
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: done without all that. Duke development was key, evaluation before

333
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: that was key. Organizational structure was key. And when you

334
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: can take all that, you know how much we love

335
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: the grab claw machine. You can take all that, and

336
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: you take it from Duke respectfully to College Station, then

337
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: the world is full of things there are impossible all

338
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden that really didn't feel like they were

339
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: possible at Duke. So if you beat Notre Dame in Texas,

340
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: you're probably a contender for a lot more than just

341
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: good spirits. But if you're capable of nothing more than

342
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: doing that and elsewhere you falter, think about how that sells.

343
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: And then there's this other dynamic. There's this PTSD that

344
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: a lot of Aggie fans have in the back of

345
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: their mind about the history they've had being in the

346
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: same conference as Texas, And I had nothing to do

347
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: with it because I've never lived out there. I've never

348
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: lived here, I've never been a part of it, which

349
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: makes me perfectly qualified to speak on it. I keep

350
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: on trying to tell people, Yeah, the Southwest Conference was

351
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: what it was, and you took a back seat to them. Yes,

352
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: the Big twelve was what it was, and you took

353
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: a back seat to them. There there were literally strings

354
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: that Texas could pull that A and M couldn't pull.

355
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: If you get run over by Texas in this conference,

356
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: it's because you weren't good enough. It will not be

357
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: because the structure of the conference and the environment of

358
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: the conference was such that Texas got a front row

359
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: seat and you got put like in the third row

360
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: back here. That's not the way that's going to work here.

361
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: If you beat them in year one, as they're primed

362
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: as a playoff contender and you got a brand new

363
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: coach and they come in your building and you play

364
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: them for the first time in over a decade, if

365
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: you beat.

366
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: Them in year one, huge story there.

367
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: I would venture a step further and say it's one

368
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: of the bigger, maybe one of the biggest stories in

369
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: college football this year, because that's also one of those

370
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: rivalries that since it's so far away still and we've

371
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: gone a generation, which we define as a decade, we've

372
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: gone a generation without you, guys, seeing that you may

373
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: have forgotten at Texas versus Texas, A and M is

374
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: about look it up, kids, YouTube and if you have

375
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: to look it up, Academy Sports and Outdoors.

376
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: Brother, you want to go to Academy.

377
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Here, you see bern orange, you see maroon and white

378
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: all up and down the aisles, which is a beautiful thing.

379
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: There's an Academy on every.

380
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Street corner in and around Dallas and Houston and San Antonio.

381
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: I wish it was that way nationwide. And you know what,

382
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: maybe one day will make it that way. Until then,

383
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: they are the presenting sponsor of this show, especially when

384
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: we're here on the road at SEC Media Days, and

385
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: we appreciate them for that. Get there as soon as

386
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: you can. If you can't get there in person, if

387
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: you live in Pocatello, Idaho, and there's just not one

388
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: in your town, Academy dot com is your hookup, and

389
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: we have this great thing set up. Various shipping companies

390
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: can take Academy's products and get them to you. All

391
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: you gots to do is go on the internet and

392
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: order my Academy dot com if you can't get there

393
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: in person. But Academy I tweeted this morning because I

394
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,359
Speaker 1: had lunch with Alex.

395
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: And probably shouldn't be using his name.

396
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: But our guys are our rider dies at Academy. They

397
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: stopped by SEC Media day, so I'm eating with them

398
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: yesterday and they're appreciative and I'm appreciative.

399
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: Just total love fest.

400
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: It would have grossed you out, but I tweeted this morning,

401
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: remember the ones who believed in you in the beginning.

402
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: Academy was our first major partner that approached us when

403
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: the show is just first starting to do this a

404
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: little bit, first starting to scale, and they said, we

405
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: believe in it, we love it, we listen to it.

406
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: How do we get in business together?

407
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: Now?

408
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: It's like, man, we got to beat them away with

409
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: a stick at the door. Everyone wants to be a

410
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: part of it.

411
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: Now.

412
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: We are very careful with the filter that we used

413
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: to let folks in. As you can tell, we don't

414
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: do much advertising on this show.

415
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: We don't need to. Cause folks like Academy take care

416
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: of us. We appreciate them. They make the show free.

417
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: I humbly ask when you have your outdoor sporting goods needs,

418
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: check them out. And that includes grills, and that includes tents,

419
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: and that includes chairs and everything in between. Let's go

420
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: and play the what if game? Very popular on this

421
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: show this time of year. Appreciate you guys tuning in

422
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: live at a very irregular hour. Subscribe to Channel if

423
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: you haven't already.

424
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: What if? What are some of the biggest foot ifs

425
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 2: in college football this year? Well? I got one right

426
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: off the bat.

427
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Do you realize that george has been undefeated in the

428
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: regular season three consecutive years. They are thirty six and

429
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: oh in the regular season the last three years, So

430
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: what if they do it again? What if they make

431
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: it a fourth straight year of going undefeated in the

432
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: regular season. Well, Statson Info tells me thirty six plus

433
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: twelve is forty eight, so they'd be forty eight. No

434
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: the past four years. But this would mean, in a

435
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: more ground floor sense, Carson Beck may have won the Heisman.

436
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: If they go undefeated, they're in Atlanta. Of course, They're

437
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: in the playoff no matter what, and so Carson Beck

438
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: may have won himself the Heisman. He is right up

439
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: there on the fan Duel odds board as a preseason

440
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: favorite right now. It means those portal moves like Travis

441
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: etn at running back, it means they paid off big time.

442
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: It means Georgia got to dictate whatever style of play

443
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: they wanted to because unlike years past, this is not

444
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 1: a Georgia schedule.

445
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: Well, they'll be favored by double digits the entire way.

446
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: They go to Texas, they got Clemson neutral, they go

447
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: to Alabama, they go to Ole Miss, so they will

448
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: have earned it and then some Frankly, no one has

449
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: any business going undefeated.

450
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: Against Georgia's regular season schedule.

451
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: So if they do, in a way, it may be

452
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: a better accomplishment than whoever wins the playoff, depending depending

453
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: on who wins the playoff, but it will also mean

454
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: they've grabbed the reins of the conference. One of the

455
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: overarching vibes around SEC media days this week has actually

456
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: been that even though Nick Saban retired, he's still the

457
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: voice of the sport. He's still the premier face of

458
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: the sport. And it's one of those deals for everyone

459
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: else is kind of looking around saying, who's gonna take

460
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: this thing?

461
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: Nobody, nobody. It's still him.

462
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: In fact, in the aggregate, he'll make more money and

463
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: you'll see more of him this fall than he ever

464
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: made and you ever did when he was at Alabama.

465
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: But if Georgia goes.

466
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: And just full on holts up on the conference this season,

467
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: maybe they go on and win a title along with that,

468
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: they put the conference in their grasp because Alabama's had

469
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: that for a while.

470
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: And even though Georgia has been a premier program in.

471
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: Their own right, going one and five against Saban and

472
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: Kirby did that when he was Obama never allowed him

473
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: to take the conference by the throat.

474
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: Maybe they do that in this scenario. So that's one.

475
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: Then we go up the road a healthy ways all

476
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: the way up to State College. Close your ears back

477
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: in Nashville, Jesse. But we got to ask this, what

478
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: if Penn State is not any better in big games?

479
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: What if they're not any more explosive offensively in big games?

480
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: Statistically last year.

481
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: One of the hidden I can't believe its stats that

482
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: exist in the college football ether is Penn State was

483
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: a top twenty offense last year.

484
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: Can you believe that?

485
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: Not by the metric system or anything like we're going on,

486
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: just good old fashioned stack keeping.

487
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: They were a top twenty offense. It's cause they padded

488
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: their numbers against inferior competition. Because you know as well

489
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: as I do.

490
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: When they went to Columbus one point nine yards per

491
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: attempt through the air, two of nineteen on third and

492
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 1: fourth down, it was, as Jr.

493
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: Would say, it was bowling shoe ugly.

494
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: And then they got Michigan come in there, run the

495
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: ball thirty times in a row on them. Why it

496
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Penn State can't move the ball, they can't

497
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: score for seventy.

498
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: Four yards total passing that day.

499
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: So they made the move to bring in Andy Koldalniky,

500
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator from Ile or from Kansas.

501
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: It's just if you know, you know on that chuckle.

502
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: They brought him in.

503
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: And that's supposed to be the Voila that's supposed to

504
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: be the Drew Aller is now another year older, another

505
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: year wiser, and we paired him up with one of

506
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: the most explosive coordinators in terms of yards per play

507
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve. So that'll take care of it, right, Well,

508
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: you hope it's not a guarantee though, That's why we

509
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: played the games, as me, mom would say, and everyone else.

510
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: So what if he's not well, If he's not, that

511
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: means that experiment failed. And if he's not I'm the

512
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: last one to ever talk hot seat. I'm not talking

513
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: about it here, but I think people would question James

514
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: Franklin in a little bit different way because, as you

515
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: also are probably aware if you watch the show, that

516
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: would coincide perhaps with an in state recruiting drought. They

517
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: are as of now zero for eight on in state

518
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: kids top eight kids in Pence, Svania this cycle. That's

519
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: never been the case by the way we went back

520
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: in chronicled recent history. They're normally landing some of those kids.

521
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: They don't lock down the Keystone State, but they're landing

522
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: some of those kids that could create kind of a

523
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: combination of uncomfortability. Now, I do expect them to be

524
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: significantly more explosive this year. So this here is not

525
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: a prediction from me. I actually think it'll be a

526
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: moot point. But if I'm wrong and it's not, that's

527
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: an uncomfortable December. It's a County Crows mode. It's a

528
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: long December for James Franklin. And lastly, what if our

529
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: good buddy at Kansas State, Avery Johnson becomes a star,

530
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: not just a good solid quarterback, not just a dude

531
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: who could do a PERP plus commercial because of the hair.

532
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean, legit, he's a star quarterback. Well, it made

533
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: me in Kansas State had the better quarterback than Ohio State.

534
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: Will Howard transferred from Manhattan up to Columbus, and if

535
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: Avery Johnson outshines him, it makes well Chris Climban already

536
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: looks pretty smart, but it makes him look like a genius.

537
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: Avery was fifty six percent completion guy last year, really good,

538
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: dangerous with his legs. But if he air is that

539
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: with sixty two sixty three percent completion percentage, it means

540
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: they upgrade it enough to perhaps be the solid number

541
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: one in the Big Twelve instead of what it looks

542
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: like right now, which is maybe Utah, maybe Kansas State,

543
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: maybe Kansas and then if you're talking to me, maybe

544
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: Iowa State. Maybe it's Kansas State, and then the pack.

545
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: That's not something we expect in the Big Twelve this year.

546
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: It also is a fact that, well it's an opinion,

547
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: but I think it's fact. Their schedules pretty easy by

548
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: Big Twelve standards, which means they could be in play

549
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: for a really really high seed.

550
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: They could win the Big Twelve, get a first.

551
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: Round by and do we whisper heisman with Avery Johnson

552
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: if he were to upgrade and become a start, well,

553
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: of course that's where star quarterbacks go.

554
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: They go to New York City at the end of

555
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: the year.

556
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: Just some what ifs that have been on my mind

557
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: here as we wrap up this third week in July.

558
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: Next up, Man, we went long on that, Colin and Jesse.

559
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: I normally go like two or three minutes if we're

560
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: doing mail bag, Shame on me. Next question is a

561
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: very very popular question in college football spheres, and they

562
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: ask it about me because I want the job, but

563
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: I can't have a job. So your thoughts right now

564
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: before I get into this, your thoughts whether you're driving

565
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: around in sus Saint Marie, Michigan, or you're just watching

566
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: in Tucson, Arizona, your thoughts on that just overarching idea

567
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: of a college football commissioner, independent of how realistic it is,

568
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: your thoughts on it.

569
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 2: Gather those.

570
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: Don't look in the live chat, just gather those amongst yourselves,

571
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: independent thoughts. Okay, I'm gonna read this question from Athens, Alabama.

572
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: Is their interest from Nick Saban about being college football commissioner.

573
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like he delivered a denial at SEC

574
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: Media Days. Quick tip out there, if anyone ever throws

575
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: your name into the pot for a role that would

576
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: land you a ton of money. Do not shoot it down.

577
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: Do not issue a denial, even if you have no interest,

578
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: Never issue a denial. Always keep your options open. I

579
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: heard what Nick Saban said, and they asked them, you.

580
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 2: Want to be commissioner, you think you should be comissioner?

581
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: And he said, del you better ask Miss Terry. Well,

582
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: of course that's not a denial.

583
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: And of course Nick Saban would be great as a

584
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: college football commissioner. If by commissioner we mean a guy

585
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: who truly got to make decisions.

586
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll happen.

587
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he'd want to be unless he just

588
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: loves the sport and loves headaches that much. Again, I

589
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: want to reiterate, Saban just got a raise to stop

590
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: coaching and go do TV. So it's a really, really

591
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: good position that he's in right now. But what job

592
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: would he do?

593
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: What is commissioner in college football? Hey?

594
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: I put my name out for it all the time,

595
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: but I only want to be elected if you're actually

596
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: allowed to lead.

597
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: Who has the power and how many people would have.

598
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: To give up power for a college football commissioner to

599
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: be what we actually want it to be. The answer

600
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: is television networks would have to give up a fair

601
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: amount of power, you know, So the commissioner could dictate

602
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: that the Penn State whiteout game is a night game

603
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: and it's whatever opponent they want.

604
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: Our TV networks going to give that up? Are we

605
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 2: ever going to look at.

606
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: A situation where not only conference commissioners but their bosses

607
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: league presidents. Do we ever see a Chris Low headline

608
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: one day where it says, Hey, all of a sudden,

609
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: those folks don't want power anymore. Take it, create yourself

610
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: a college football commissioner? Highly doubtful. And so that's what

611
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: would have to happen for that role to appear. Now,

612
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: if that role ever did appear and all that power

613
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: was just voluntarily given up, yeah, man, I'd love Nick

614
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: Saban to be there. I don't hear very many things

615
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: he says that we disagree on. He is an expansionist,

616
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: and that disappoints me, and I'd have to be happy

617
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: to back channel with him and offer my thoughts on that.

618
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: But broad strokes Saban gets it.

619
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: All these coaches are glad he retired because they don't

620
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: have to face him, but they're also glad because he

621
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: can be more influential as a non head coach behind

622
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: the scenes, advocating for the same stuff they want than

623
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: he ever was when he was active.

624
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: Has too much been done? Though?

625
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: Like when I say that, has too much of the

626
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: college football tapestry all already been woven? Or put another way,

627
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: If I were to snap my fingers and all this

628
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: stuff happened today and everyone relinquished the power, you'd still

629
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: have contracts. You still have massive long term media rights contracts.

630
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: The realignment would have already happened. What could a college

631
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: football commissioner really do now this point? Moving forward, it

632
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: would still be great. But what would a college football.

633
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: Commissioner really be able to do at this point? I

634
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know.

635
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: Also, is there ever going to be a person allowed,

636
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: whether it be at the conference level or the national level,

637
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: to have a job where they make a decision in

638
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: the best interest of the sport that includes turning down money.

639
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you.

640
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Guys have noticed this, but all the decisions that are

641
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: made in college athletics always happened to coincide with making

642
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: more money. Like when's the last time you ever read

643
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: a headline so and so declines so and so or

644
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: such and such, despite the fact that it would have

645
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: brought more money because they don't think it was in

646
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: the best interest of the game.

647
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: Don't hear it very often so.

648
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: College football commissioner fun to talk about. Not quite sure

649
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: it's imminent in any way. Next up, This was also

650
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: heavily talked about this week at media Days. And it's

651
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: not the first time I've brought this up a lot.

652
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do the same mental exercise you just had.

653
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: I just had you gather in your mind your thoughts

654
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: on commissioner. Well, auto bids. It's another thing I want

655
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: to talk to you about. By auto bids. I think

656
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: most of you get it. But if you don't, that's

657
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: if you do a certain thing in the season, i e.

658
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: You win your conference championship, they have a reserved seat

659
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: at the playoff table for you. Not just a reserve seat,

660
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: a reserved first round by top four seed. And it

661
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you went eight and four, If somehow

662
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: you snuck into a conference title game, hey you got

663
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: a seat. So Todd hit us up from Lutz, Florida.

664
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: He said, do you think college football powers would ever

665
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: get rid of the auto bid system?

666
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: For conference champs.

667
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: With an expanded playoff, put the premium on wins and

668
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: losses and strength of schedule. There's plenty of bowls to

669
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: go around to put people in that didn't make the cut.

670
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, Todd. I think that's still in a

671
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: remains to be seen category because you got to see

672
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: how this plays out this year. You know, there's been

673
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: a lot of noncommittal language from a couple of very

674
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: noteworthy conferences in college football about the system, the whole

675
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: auto bid system.

676
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: They think they love it.

677
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: But what if we see this year a bunch of

678
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: nine and three teams that are really good in the

679
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: SEC get left out because you got to put the

680
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: conference champion from somewhere else. I say a bunch let's

681
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: say one, even one or maybe two. Well, then all

682
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I think the language from the SEC

683
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: would be a lot different.

684
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: Ditto for the Big Ten.

685
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: What if the Big Ten has teams that everyone knows

686
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: would have been plenty good enough to win the ACC

687
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: or maybe they're plenty good enough to have won the

688
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, but because they happen to be in the

689
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: Big Ten, because they happen to not be better than

690
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: Oregon or Ohio State. They're either left out or they're

691
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: way down the tote pole, and we're looking at a

692
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: nine to three team from the Big twelve lockdown a

693
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: first round.

694
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: It's artificial, is the point.

695
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: Nick Saban was one of several here this week is said,

696
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm fine with twelve team playoff, but I just want

697
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: the best twelve teams in the thing. That's always been

698
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: my mentality. You speak personally here, no matter how big

699
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: the field is, whether it's two or four or twelve,

700
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: I'd love for it to be smaller. However large the

701
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: field is. I've always been a proponent of doing away

702
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: with autobid language entirely because I think it's dumb, and

703
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: I would love for the best twelve to be in

704
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: there because I think about it this way.

705
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 2: Yes, it's great to reward.

706
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: Someone for winning a conference championship. It's called a conference

707
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: championship trophy. That's what you hand them for winning the thing.

708
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: If you seriously go and win a conference and you

709
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: otherwise don't have a good enough resume to be in

710
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: the twelve team field anyway, there's no system known to

711
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: man that makes logical sense that would grant you a

712
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: spot in a tournament that apparently is built to decide

713
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: the best team in the country. Never made sense to me.

714
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: I do not think, to go back to the question,

715
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: I do not think it's decided, you know, if the

716
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: autobid thing plays out, And yeah, it does again artificially

717
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: enhance a lot of people's hope. And in the Big

718
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: twelve or in the G five ranks, for example, there

719
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: is a really really tight jockeying of positions, so to speak,

720
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, and it's just because

721
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: they know that first round buy is on the line

722
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: of conference titles on the line.

723
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: That's their only way in.

724
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: I guess that you could case by case sell me

725
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: on that enhancing visibility and viewership and whatnot. But it's

726
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: pennywise pound foolish logic to me, because in the end,

727
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: if i'm you know, if I'm watching, you have to

728
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: go on the road because you went ten and.

729
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: Two in the SEC.

730
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: But Liberty happened to win their happened to be the

731
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: best G five, or Kansas State happened to win their conference,

732
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: even though Vegas is telling me they'd be a thirteen

733
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: and a half point underdog against four teams in the sec.

734
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: That makes no sense to me. It never has made sense.

735
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that everyone's going to agree with me

736
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: on that, even at the administrative level. I think they're

737
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: in a weight and see mode, and they're on a

738
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: lot of fronts. I think they're in a weight and

739
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: see mode to see how this thing plays out, and

740
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: it may take one or two years before you got

741
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: a good enough case study on it in their mind.

742
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: Having said that, if you do want to bet on

743
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: conference winners, if you want to bet on conference champs,

744
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: you can do it over at FanDuel Right now. You

745
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: can bet liberty over under ten and a half wins.

746
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the screen right now. Fanduels got it

747
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: up already. They are the exclusive odds provider of Peate State,

748
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: and it's nice to have them on board. It's also

749
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: nice to be able to even if you don't bet,

750
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: and if you don't feel like it, don't do it.

751
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: But you can go over there for information gathering purposes

752
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: if nothing else. I think it's a good substitute. I

753
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: for a while have looked at their over underwent totals

754
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: or preseason lines of the year more so than I've

755
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: leaned on preview magazines because those are live, those are

756
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: up to the minute. It's not print and done. They

757
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: actually have to let you bet on their opinion, so

758
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: they can't afford to be wrong.

759
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: I've always enjoyed that, So.

Speaker 2: You got to kiss three fingers and touch the clot

790
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: so before we wrap up here.

791
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: Bold prediction time, the things you claim you believe that

792
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: you bet your own money on. This is the boldest

793
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: set of predictions.

794
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 2: We've had so far this year. We do four per show.

795
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: I do them one to ten on Boldness scale nine

796
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: point five or higher if it comes true, gets a

797
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: chalice of supremacy. I have three nine point five's and

798
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: a nine and a quarter on the show tonight. So

799
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: first up, Tennessee has the number one offense in the

800
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: country and a top twenty defense. Now, I think I'm

801
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: about to read you a stat that surprises you. Last

802
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: year Tennessee's offense was rated lower than this defense. They

803
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: had the number twenty two defense in the country. They

804
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: had number thirty five offense.

805
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 2: In the country. But two years ago they did.

806
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: Have the number one offense in the country. So we

807
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: need offense to be number one, we need defense to

808
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: be top twenty. That's a nine point five. You've got

809
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: to have a first year starter at quarterback lead you

810
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: to the best offensive production in the nation. They will

811
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: be a prolific offense being the best in the country.

812
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: That just requires a really, really big stretch, even for

813
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: someone like me who believes in Tennessee the top twenty

814
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: defense yet James Pierce there, they have to replace one

815
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety six combined starts in the defensive.

816
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: Backfield though, So that's tough.

817
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: It's not out of the realm, but both of those

818
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: things happening together, that's a nine point five for me.

819
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: If they are that, we're looking at a national championship contender.

820
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 2: Do you get that.

821
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: That's Tennessee contending for at all, not just the SEC.

822
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: If they're number one offense and number twenty or better defense.

823
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: Next up?

824
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: All right, be careful with the language here. Be careful

825
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: with the language. Pay attention. Next up, there will be

826
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: more Big ten teams than SEC teams in the final four.

827
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: More so.

828
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: If it's equal, they lose. If it's less, they lose more.

829
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: That's a nine and a quarter. So the SEC, let's

830
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: just say.

831
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: Gets at least one in there in the final four,

832
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: Big ten needs at least two.

833
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: Ohio State's a candidate, Oregon's a candidate. Obviously do they

834
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: avoid each other? This comes down to bracketing as well.

835
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: How does the bracket get constructed. Is there a lot

836
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: of SEC versus SEC? Is there a lot of Big

837
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: ten versus Big ten where they have to knock one out?

838
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: Or is it a setup where they could all just

839
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 2: merge and then meet in the what do we call

840
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 2: this Elite eight Final four? I don't even know what

841
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: the language is. I think it's contingent on bracket.

842
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: I think there are more viable SEC Final four teams

843
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: than there are Big ten.

844
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: So for the Big ten to.

845
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: Have more, it's not crazy, it's bold. It's a nine

846
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: and a quarter. That's how high I go on that

847
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: next up. Now, this one's gonna stir my folks down

848
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: in Florida up a lot. Graham Mertz has a better

849
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: season than cam Ward. Cam Ward's the transfer of Miami,

850
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: came there from Washington State. That's a nine point five

851
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. Mertz was about a seventy three

852
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: percent completion guy last year, twenty nine hundred yards twenty

853
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: three TD to good player, probably the most overlood quarterback

854
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: in the country because his team was not good. He

855
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: was very good last year. He's back this year. Cam

856
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: Ward seven thousand yard passer. Over the past two seasons,

857
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: Miami has the more dynamic player.

858
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: Cam Ward can do more things.

859
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: Cam Ward has the higher probably pro upside. I think

860
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: to myself about style of play, Florida seems to me

861
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: like they'll be in a ton of grinded out sort

862
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: of games this year. They may play from behind, though,

863
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: which means maybe they'll have to throw the ball a

864
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: little bit more so, maybe that inflates Merch's stats passing wise.

865
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: Cam Ward, though, I feel like he faces a far

866
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: more favorable schedule, far more favorable defenses, and if injury

867
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: is not a factor on either side here, boy, I

868
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: can't think cam Ward could be a Heisman guy. And

869
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: so that's a nine point five to tell me Graham

870
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: Rch is going to be better than him. And lastly,

871
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: it's been a while since we saw this happen. A

872
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: non quarterback wins the Heisman. DeVante did it back in

873
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Derrick Henry did it in twenty fifteen. So

874
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: seven of the last eight have been quarterbacks. Twenty of

875
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: the last twenty four have been quarterbacks. This is a

876
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: nine point five as well on the boldness scale. And

877
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: here's why it's not that a non quarterback talent couldn't emerge.

878
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: Absolutely they do every year. I talk about it on

879
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: the show every year. The people who vote on this

880
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: are all around me right now.

881
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: They're sports writers.

882
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: The top twenty four Heisman odds guys right now are quarterbacks.

883
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: There's not even a token wide receiver or running back

884
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: thrown in there. All twenty four of them are quarterbacks.

885
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: So what you have to do is, not only do

886
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: you have.

887
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: To perform at a high level, a really high level,

888
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: you've got.

889
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: To overcome the perception because they may not even know

890
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: about you right now, and you'll either need a defensive

891
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: player to be the one who does it or a

892
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: running back, or you're got to have it as a

893
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver, which is more likely, which means a quarterback

894
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: out there had to be the one that got you

895
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: the ball, and chances are if he's got those numbers

896
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: like you do, he's got numbers with other guys on

897
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: your team.

898
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: Therefore he's the more likely candidate. It's so hard.

899
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: Even when Devonte Smith won it, his own quarterback was

900
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: a finalist as well. Mac Jones mean, think about that

901
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: and a QB wide receiver combo there. So that's a

902
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: nine point five on the boldness scale as well for me.

903
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: So three nine point fives potentially three chali that we

904
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: may have to deliver if any of these much us,

905
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: all three of them come true. Tonight, Okay, here's an

906
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: update on what we're doing. We're going to be back

907
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: in Nashville Sunday night. Then we're going to Indianapolis next

908
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: week I need your help on something. We will have

909
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: our usual thing where we do the extended sit downs

910
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: with pretty much all the head coaches. Who do we

911
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: need to hear from Big ten coaches exclusively? Who do

912
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: we need to hear from on the show? I'm open

Speaker 1: to suggestion because I'm not doing all of them, and

914
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 1: we can pick which ones we want and we can

915
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: carve out some time.

916
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: Who do we want to hear from? Who you want

917
