1 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: I want to give you guys a warning that I 2 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: think you're already aware of in your own personal lives, 3 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: but you don't realize how similar everyone else's life is 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: to yours. I know you guys very well. You know me, 5 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: and we know that each other. We know amongst ourselves. 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: We've been putting stuff off to next week for a 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: solid two weeks, you know, good and well. You've been 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: telling folks, we'll get to it after July fourth, We'll 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: get to it after the holiday weekend, is really what 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: you meant? Well, People in our world do that too. 11 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: People in the media world, yeah, duh are They hardly 12 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: ever work anyway. But people in the college football and 13 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: college athletics world have been doing that. So I know 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: this is vague. It's meant to be vague because I'm 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: not talking about anything in particular. I'm just telling you, 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: you know how, there have been some drip drip drips 17 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: about potential big news coming over the past I don't know, 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: like a few months. I think the dam is going 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: to start to break because I think a lot of 20 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: people have been putting things off, big decisions, big buttons 21 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: and levers they need to push and pull. I think 22 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: those have basically been put off to this week. It 23 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: starts this week, and there are going to be a 24 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: lot of really busy people behind the scenes this week 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: in your world where you work, but also in college 26 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: athletics and hoops amongst us. Knows what will come from that. 27 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: We're jam packed. Hi A top a well done downtown Nashville, Tennessee. 28 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: Will if you like your city's medium, you need to 29 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: look elsewhere. It's been really hot here today. It's Sunday, 30 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: July seventh, the year of our lower twenty twenty four. 31 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: We're just flat out going to do it tonight, top 32 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: fifteen programs in college football. But not for the past 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: three years. Friends, We've already done that, Jesse, I think 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: we did that like three or four months ago. Nope, 35 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: listen up tonight for the first time ever, I am 36 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: projecting the next three years. It's prediction Night here. A 37 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: number of prediction Nights are still to come, but Tonight's 38 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: Prediction Night is your program, not just this coming year, 39 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: but the next three years, the top fifteen in college football. 40 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: And there are some tough decisions to make, but we'll 41 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: make them because we're tough show. We're ready for that 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: sort of thing. I got several what ifs on the 43 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: show tonight. I got bold predictions. I got five underrated 44 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: offense I want to offenses. I want to talk to 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: you about. I just would like to ask what's up 46 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: with USC? In a very general sense. What am I 47 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: going to feel about USC in December? You're a Jampack show. 48 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: I didn't even mention all the things we're going to 49 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: talk about. They're watching us in Sharpsburg, Georgia, Monte Solo, Indiana, 50 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: Pine Top, Arizona, Venice, Florida. You really ought to be 51 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: following me on Instagram and Twitter, especially at late Kick, Josh. 52 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: Let me just bounce you a scenario as we start 53 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: tonight's show. What if, and this is strictly a what if? 54 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: What if there was something really big coming July nineteenth. 55 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Twisters, although that is coming July nineteenth. 56 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: What if they were dropping a really big video game 57 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: July nineteenth. What if we already had it? What if 58 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: we were playing it in the office today? Just to 59 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: what if? You know? It sure would give us the ability, 60 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: would it not to deliver some exclusive Dare I say, 61 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: behind the scenes pieces of content for you at some 62 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: point this week that you may not be able to 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: get anywhere else. Again, these are just generalities that I 64 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: speak in but if that were to happen, that would 65 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: be pretty wild, because I mean, what is it's the seventh. 66 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: That thing doesn't come out to the nineteenth, And if 67 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: we had said game in our possession already'd be pretty wild. Anyway, 68 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: let's dive into the show tonight. I thank you so 69 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: much for joining us. I want to do something tonight 70 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: that's probably dumb, especially in July, because I know what 71 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: this season is and what it isn't. It is not 72 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: football season yet, that means it is Steve spur your 73 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: trademark talking season, and therefore anyone who says anything remotely 74 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: controversial really is like taking a baseball back to a 75 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: hornet's nest. But I really don't think what I'm about 76 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: to say is controversial. I do think it'll be eyebrow 77 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: raising in some instances. So Colin, here's a good, nice 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: edit endpoint for our individual cut on YouTube. I want 79 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: to look ahead next three years and I just want 80 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: to flat out call my shot on the top fifteen 81 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: programs in college football. How do we define a program well? 82 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: Around Pate state. We define a program as a rolling 83 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: multi year blend of your on field record, So your results, 84 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: you're recruiting and you're portaling aka talent acquisition. How good 85 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: are you at getting good players? How good do you 86 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: evaluate them? How good do you get them? How good 87 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: do you develop them? We care about your resources. Don't 88 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: be broke. No poverty programs in our top fifteen, and 89 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: we care about synergy and culture. When we cut your 90 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 1: program open, what is it made of? What's the DNA 91 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: in there? And it's an insane challenge because, as you 92 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: will see in just a second or earlier today, I 93 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: asked a lot of you to do this for yourselves. 94 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: And as a lot of you found out after you 95 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: get passed about number five or six, is not like 96 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: you run out of programs. It's like you have a 97 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: big jumbled mess of like ten or fifteen more of them, 98 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: and you're saying, what order do I put these in? Well, 99 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: you didn't have to complete the exercise, but I did 100 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: because we had a show to do live tonight. So 101 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: here we go. Top fifteen programs in college football as 102 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: I see it over the next three seasons. When using 103 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: a rolling multi year blend of the factors that I 104 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: talked about there Georgia next three years. Number one program 105 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: in college football, top staff in the country right now, 106 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: led by I would say, the top head coach in 107 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: college football. They're forty two and two over the last 108 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: three years. They're an elite recruiting program. They're also an 109 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: elite development program, so you don't have to worry about 110 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: what happens to the four and five star talent when 111 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: it gets there, the potential will be maximized. A lot 112 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: of them will end up filtering out through the portal, 113 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: but that's only because there's an excess of talent already there. 114 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: They've got elite resources, I fully believe in their quarterback 115 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: room now and in the future, and they've got some 116 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: of the best internal energy and also program synergy in 117 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: all of college football. Slam dunk right now to meet 118 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: Georgia over the next three years. Number one program college football. Now, 119 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: it gets really fun because this kind of changed over 120 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: the past. I'd say a couple of months for maybe 121 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: a lot of people, what's the number two program in 122 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: college football over the next three years, we know who 123 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: it has been. Who will it be? Uh, I was 124 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: just waiting on you to roll the lower Colin's that way, 125 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: I didn't have to repeat it. Number two program in 126 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: college football over the next three years. It's Alabama. It's 127 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: the same as we would have called it recently, only 128 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: there was a coaching change there. So Nick Saban, a 129 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: legend hits the exit door, and then a lot of 130 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: casuals say, no one wants to take over for a legend. Well, 131 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: here's a little cheat, cheat Memah gave me. If the 132 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: legend leaves behind immaculate facilities and a top notch infrastructure, 133 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: take over for the legend, especially if you yourself are legit, 134 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: which Kaylin de Boor is. So the program is top notch. 135 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: Recruiting over the past three years has been number one 136 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: on average in the country. They will be top five, 137 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: I think now in moving forward because look at how 138 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: they're acquiring talent already that was the great unknown. And 139 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: so if I look Kaylin Debor's Alabama and you're telling me, yeah, 140 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: a talent acquisition, even if it does drop off, is 141 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: going to drop off minimally. I don't worry about them 142 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: on game day. I don't worry about their culture. I 143 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: don't worry about anything else in fact, beyond talent acquisition. 144 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: Once you answer that question for me, you may be 145 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: looking at one of the most high level handoffs of 146 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: the baton in the history of this sport from one 147 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: icon to another guy whose best chapters of his career 148 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: may be made in Tuscaloosa, So Alabama. Number two program 149 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: in the country over the next three years. For me, 150 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: we're not going too far before we head up to 151 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: Columbus Ohio. I got Ohio State right now. It's the 152 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: number three program in the country in the coming three seasons. 153 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: I love their positioning because everything's a lead up there. 154 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: The resource pool is elite. They spare no expense, whether 155 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: it be going and acquiring talent, whether it be being 156 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: active in the portal when they need to be. Certainly, 157 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: the recruiting is an elite tier. The staff, I would say, 158 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: is at an elite tier. Facilities, all that stuff, they got, 159 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: all those boxes check. But here's the thing. They're as 160 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: hungry as any program in America. So I get all 161 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: that which would normally border right up against complacency and 162 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: getting fat and happy, and there's none of that because 163 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: as folks will tell you, what if they won, Josh, 164 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: what if they won, Well, they've won a lot of 165 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: football games, but not the ones towards the end of 166 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: the season, at least this staff hasn't, and so they're 167 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: well positioned. They're like a rubber band pulled all the 168 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: way back and snap. Eventually it's gonna snap. Eventually the 169 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: dam's gonna break there and a lot of the have 170 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: nots will become halves and a lot of the cannots 171 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: will just disappear, and all of a sudden, Ohio State 172 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: wins them a title, and then you never know, they 173 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: go in a little Georgia, run a little bamm or run. 174 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: If they don't, it won't be because they didn't have 175 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: the pieces in place. Let me put it that way. 176 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: So Ohio State fully believe in them. The next three years. 177 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: They're right up there with the best in the country. Now, 178 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: as we see conference realignment and conference expansion happen, we 179 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: get to talk about a big ten program here, but 180 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: one all the way out on the Pacific Ocean. I've 181 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: got Oregon as the number four program positioned over the 182 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: next three years in college football, it is very likely 183 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: you're looking at the next superpower in college football. You 184 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 1: know the brand, you know, the duck on the motorcycle 185 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: you know, the fifty million different uniform combos courtesy of 186 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: Kenny Farr, big time fan of the program up there, 187 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: friend of the program. What you don't know is Oregon 188 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: Perennial National Championship contender. But that's what they are now 189 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: and moving forward, that's what they are. The recruiting piece 190 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: is in place, the talent acquisition piece with the portal 191 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: as well, is in place. They are becoming scratch that 192 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: they are now the dominant team on the West Coast. 193 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: It's a problem for anyone else out there. And it's 194 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: a kind of a sidebar, the side discussion when it 195 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: comes to usc OLPAC twelve schools that are now in 196 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: the pack or the Big ten, Oregon over the coming 197 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: three years will start to show you a lot of 198 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: the benefits of recruiting like they do and bringing in 199 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: guys out of the portal like they do. But also 200 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: if you were to go out there and you were 201 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: to have toured the SEC and toured Michigan and Ohio 202 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: State in the Big Ten, you would say, energy out 203 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: here feels just like it does down there. Wow, the 204 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: one and two deeps on the lines of scrimmage look 205 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: very similar to what I see over there and down there. 206 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: Landing's just built an SEC slash upper tier Big ten 207 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: program on the West coast. And you may say, well, duh, 208 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: they are a Big ten program. Yeah, But if I 209 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: would have told you five years ago Oregon's gonna be 210 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: in the Big ten, the first thing you would have 211 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: said is, man, they're really gonna have to upgrade. Now. 212 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: The physicality, the rugged wear and tear of that schedule 213 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: is gonna get them. They're gonna get folks there is 214 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: built or more appropriately built to withstand that. Then a 215 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: lot of the teams that they're gonna play. Landing and 216 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: his staff, by the way, just now coming into their own. 217 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: Dan Lanning is a head coach just now coming into 218 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: his own. I'd be careful the kind of language I 219 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: used to describe him, because he is not yet what 220 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: he will be. So we're talking about the next three years. 221 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: I think the next three years will look really, really 222 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: dominant for Oregon and they'll be in the conversation every year. 223 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: Haven't gotten to Texas yet? Where's Texas? Well, they're number five. 224 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: I've got Texas as the number five program in college football. 225 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: Over the next three years, they'll be there every year. 226 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: So We're talking obviously about programs that don't have to 227 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: build towards a season. They're not window programs, they're every 228 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: year programs. They're reload programs. Texas recruiting, you see what 229 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: they're doing, portal, you have seen and will continue to 230 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: see what they're doing. Resources they take a back seat 231 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: to no one there pedals fully down on the floorboard. 232 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: They'll do whatever it takes to win the resources. Being 233 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: unmatched is only part of it. Because they've had resources 234 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: for a long time. They needed to make proper hires. 235 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: I think they did in Steve Sarkisian. I don't think 236 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: very many people are questioning that anymore. But also the 237 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: year over year backfilling of the staff. Pay attention to that. 238 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: With the new rules in the NCAA and the new 239 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: guidelines for who is allowed to be on the field 240 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: coaching and how fat you can make your staff, Texas 241 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: is going to be one of the most well positioned 242 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: programs in America to to fit from that and not 243 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: only build roster depth with They've already been doing that 244 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: in recruiting, building coaching. Roster depth is one of the 245 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: more underrated aspects over the coming three years that a 246 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: lot of the big boys, including Texas, will take advantage 247 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: of I'll tell you the next thing to watch for 248 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: Texas developing a killer instinct and developing a true dominant 249 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: identity as a program. They're a step off of that 250 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: right now. They're not what Georgia has been yet. They're 251 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: not what Bama's been yet. They went into Bama last 252 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: year and beat them and showed signs that they're evolving 253 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: into that. That's got to be a twelve week thing, 254 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: and beyond that's got to be an every day of 255 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: the year thing. They're on the doorstep. That's the next 256 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: thing to do for Texas. Kick the door in. But 257 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: right now, right there, squarely in the mix with all 258 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: the other big time programs. Okay, and then let me 259 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: just turn that piece of paper over. I'm going to 260 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: be so interested to see where you guys went with this. 261 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: The number six program in college football over the next 262 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: three years to me is Florida State. They are right 263 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: there knocking on the door at being one of the 264 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: elite programs in America twenty four and two or twenty 265 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: four and four. The last four years, recruiting has gone 266 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 1: from good to really good, really good to great is 267 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: the next step that I'm looking for. And the thing 268 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: about it is you don't have to ask about them. 269 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: Should I believe in them? Do I have proof if 270 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm a prospective player, drive proof they can win? Yes, yes, 271 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: you've got It doesn't matter if the committee left them 272 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: out of the playoff. Last year, you saw them play 273 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: an undefeated regular season, so you saw them win the ACC. 274 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: You saw all this, You've seen Mike Norvel. That's not 275 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: in the future. That's the now. In the future is 276 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: do they start stacking seasons like that? I think it's 277 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: very likely they do. I think it may be likely. 278 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: We haven't seen Florida State's best teams. Does that mean 279 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: this year? Not necessarily, it does mean over the next 280 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: three years. I think they'll fulfill on that. Are they 281 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: going to be in the ACC? I have no clue. 282 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: Wherever they are. I don't care if they're independent, I 283 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: don't care if they're in the Big twelve. Wherever as 284 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: they are, they are going to play about as high 285 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: level football I think under Mike Norvel as any program 286 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: in America, and their defining signature moment for casual fans 287 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: is still ahead. We saw what Mike Norvel did last year, 288 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: and I think most anybody with a brain is sold 289 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: on him. But there's a group of people who truly 290 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: need to see you win a national championship, or in 291 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: the modern age, they need to see you win multiple 292 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: playoff games before they believe you're legitimate. That's coming for 293 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: Florida State. I believe it'll be that moment in the 294 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: mind of the casual fan that they've arrived. They've already arrived. 295 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put them number six over the next three 296 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: years if I didn't think they've already arrived. So Florida State, 297 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: as the ACC currently stands, Florida State to me projects 298 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: as the number one program in that conference moving forward. 299 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what moving forward means, but that's where 300 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: I've got him right now. Number seven. Speaking of conferences, 301 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: let's leave them all together. Almost lost my piece of paper. 302 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: The number seven program in college football over the next 303 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: three seasons is Notre Dame to me, nine plus wins 304 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: the last five years, so they've already been a high 305 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: level program. Top twelve class in recruiting four straight years, 306 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: so they've already been really good. They've been up there 307 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: in talent acquisition, future classes. I think will elevate even further. 308 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: I think they'll be more active in the portal than 309 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: anyone thought the University of Notre Dame would be in 310 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: the portal when it was first introduced to us AL 311 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: Golden and Mike Denbrock as a coordinator pair is about 312 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: as good as it gets in college football, and so 313 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: went to Brian Kelly moved on and Marcus Freeman elevated 314 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: the head coach. The big question was not only what 315 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: will he be as a head coach, what kind of 316 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: staff will he put together? Well, here we are a 317 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: few years later. He's got an incredible staff. They're putting 318 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: together really solid recruiting classes, they're evaluating and developing really well. 319 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: They've got maximum flexibility as a program. They're independent and 320 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: everyone wants them. So you've got that going for your resources. 321 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: Never a problem there. I think the brand of Notre 322 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: Dame could evolve. You know what the brand is right now. 323 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: The brand is they once were a big deal. The 324 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: logo still means a lot. There's a lot of prestige 325 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: and tradition, but there's an artificially built ceiling or a 326 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: self imposed ceiling on them. Notre Dame good, not great. 327 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: That's the ceiling. That's not the ceiling of Notre Dame 328 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: in the portaland nil Era especially, that's not the ceiling 329 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: of Notre Dame. And if you're the number seven program 330 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: in the country over the next three years, that means 331 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: you've done more than just contend, you know, just be 332 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: happy to make the playoff. That means you've done damage 333 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: in the playoff. I think Notre Dame could do that. 334 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: This is the area to me, past number seven. This 335 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: is the area where we get really really creative because 336 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: we can get really really loose with our opinions. There's 337 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: not a big gap. I'm telling you guys, between eight 338 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: and about fifteen, there's not a ton of room. So 339 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: these are interchangeable. But when I put the graphic out later, 340 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna see top ten and not top ten. That's 341 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: really what you're gonna see. Well, here we go, Oklahoma 342 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: is a top ten program over the coming three years. 343 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: I got them at number eight. I could be wrong. 344 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: I could be low on them. There is a big 345 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: misconception that because they're over under win totals, not quite 346 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: as high as Texas or Georgia, etc. Coming into this 347 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: first year for him in the sec that they're not 348 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: a high level program. They've been a top ten program already. 349 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: They've been a top ten program in recruiting and portaling 350 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: each of Britain Venable's first three seasons in Norman. There's 351 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: a reason they just locked him up to a longer 352 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: term contract. They've got equity like you wouldn't believe built 353 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: in that brand already. So benefit of the doubt already 354 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: goes to Oklahoma. Maximum investment in the program Jackson Arnold 355 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: I got him at quarterback for at least two more years. 356 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: Their win totals low this year because they play tough schedule. 357 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: Don't be fooled by that as it relates to what 358 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: they're program is now in moving forward, Energy check, culture check, 359 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: intangibles check. That is Oklahoma football. They've also shown the 360 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: ability to win big portal battles, you know, like Dom 361 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: Williams for example, LS, you desperately needed that guy. Frankly, 362 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: a lot of teams desperately needed help on the defensive line. 363 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: Oklahoma when they needed to swing the biggest hammer, they 364 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 1: swung it. And in recruiting they've been swinging it and 365 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: on the field they won double digit games last year. 366 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: So in the coming three seasons, they could do some 367 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: very special things. In Norman, number nine was I think 368 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: one of the hardest ones to do. I had two 369 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: of them that I struggled mightily to place number nine 370 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: program over the next three years. For me is Michigan. 371 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: Michigan just won a national championship. And it's a very 372 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: not unprecedented, but borderline unprecedented situation because you have maximum turnover, 373 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: you got a head coach leave, you got the whole 374 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: staff leave except for Sharon Moore, who elevates the head coach. 375 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: I have got a lot of respect for that guy, 376 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: and I've got immense respect for the Michigan culture and 377 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: their way of doing things. And you can make whatever 378 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: comment you want to about last year. Off the field, 379 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: I got a mint respect for the way that program 380 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: goes about it's business. It's never needed to be a 381 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: top three recruiting program. It'd be nice if they were, 382 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: but they've never had to be that. So the intangibles 383 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: of what makes Michigan football are not going anywhere. And 384 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: if people are counting on that to just fade away 385 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: because there was a coaching change, I think those people 386 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: will be a little disappointed. But there's enough unknown around 387 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: the program that even I have to admit you got 388 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: to back off on them a little bit. It's just 389 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: tough to place them right now. You need proof of product. 390 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: You know, it could be that halfway into this season 391 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: Michigan is playing at a high level and the first 392 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: thing out of our mouths is, Wow, they haven't skipped 393 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: a beat. Saban to debor was a big deal in Tuscaloosa, 394 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: but it looks like Harbaugh to more has been a 395 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: seamless hand off. His vote could be the case. And 396 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: if it's the case, I'd be happy to be wrong 397 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: and bump them up few spots. Michigan football means something 398 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: to me, though, not just where they are located, not 399 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: just what they did last year. What it stands for, 400 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: and there is an immense amount of pride that will 401 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: be taken up there in the handing off of the batime, 402 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 1: it being taken and it being carried the way it should. 403 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: You know. That's why it probably don't sleep a lot 404 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: that staff right now, because there's immense pressure in where 405 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: in that block. M on your chest as the headman, 406 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: if you're Sharone Moore, do that means a lot that 407 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: program means a lot. What Michigan is means a lot. 408 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: That's not fading away. That's still a top ten caliber 409 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: program over the next three years. To me, I'm going 410 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: to get hate mail, even if you want to write 411 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: a physical letter to me. But I'm going to get 412 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: hate responses and replies for this one. That's okay, though, 413 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: that's okay. I'll be happy, happy to revisit the receipts 414 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: on this one. If you're listening on podcasts and you 415 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: can't see the screen right now, here's what I'm doing. 416 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: I think Texas A and M is going to be 417 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: a top ten college football program in the coming three 418 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: years because I have maximum belief in Mike Elko purely 419 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: looking forward, not what they have been. They've been the 420 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: biggest underachiever in America for a long time. They've always 421 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: had the capability to be a major program. I believe 422 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: that some of you disagree. Elko will prove me right 423 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: on that he's a top level tactician on the field, 424 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: no question, game day, no question. But what he did 425 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: at Duke is he showed the ability to evaluate and 426 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: develop talent at a high level. And all I'm doing 427 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: is I'm taking that and I'm dropping it into a 428 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: bucket with some of the deepest pockets and most endless 429 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: resources imaginable in college athletics. He won't lose those abilities. 430 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: That staff won't lose that ability. What they'll do is 431 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: they'll just put rocket boosters onto what they already are 432 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: and what he already is. I just add elite resources 433 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: to it. The hire went under the radar because of 434 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: the Bama change. Hardly anyone paid attention to what Texas 435 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: A and M did. They will notice it. They will 436 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: notice it because he is not having to start from 437 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: scratch there. In fact, I would argue it may be 438 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: one of the more enviable arrivals that we've seen in 439 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: major coaching changes in quite some time, because Jimbo didn't 440 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: leave the cupboard bear. Jimbo just didn't fully know what 441 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: to do with all the ingredients once he had gone 442 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 1: and gottenhim at the store Mike Elko does. Mike Elko 443 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: could win with less than Texas A and M has 444 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: and will have moving forward, but he won't have to 445 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: settle for that because they will have everything that they need. 446 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: I think what you'll come to know Texas A and 447 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: M as under Mike Elko is a program that recruits 448 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: really good to potentially great, but then they never get 449 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: out coached. They never have guys that fall through the cracks. 450 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: They're always at a maximum of development. Most of their 451 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: guys pan out and you'll look and you'll say, wow, 452 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: there is not a lot of fat left on the 453 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: bone with that program. They get every ounce out of 454 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 1: It'll be mikelco That's how you'll describe him at A 455 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: and M moving forward. There are a couple of programs 456 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: conspicuous in their absence right now. I know because I'm 457 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: looking at the live chat some of you have already noticed. 458 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: Hoops Ti'm talking about. I put LSU as the number 459 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: eleven program in America over the next three years. Very 460 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: intentional with this. Brian Kelly, I got no doubt about him, 461 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: well established, ton of accolades, all deserved. We are not 462 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: an anti Brian Kelly show. We're a pro Brian Kelly show. 463 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: The staff moves on defense were elite. Most upgraded defensive 464 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: staff in America to me is LSU. And while that 465 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: may not pay off in a top ten unit this year, 466 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: it will pay off moving forward if he keeps those 467 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: guys there. So the moves they made were great. The 468 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: portal moves they made were not and that's one mild 469 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: concern I have moving forward. But recruiting overall is very 470 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: good and it will continue to be. Bryce Underwood as 471 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: long as something terrible doesn't happen, will sign with LSU 472 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: and they'll have the number one quarter back in the 473 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: country over the coming three seasons. I think internal alignment 474 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: could be better within the program, and that is a 475 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: multi layered statement that I don't care to dive into 476 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: any further, but I think the local beat down there 477 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: could do a much better job than me at explaining that. 478 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: I think there are enough questions about this season and 479 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: what it could mean over the coming years that while 480 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: I still believe in everything that is LSU and I've 481 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: seen them win titles with the last several coaches that 482 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: have been down there, there's enough there's enough wobble in 483 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: the tire there for me to have them down to 484 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: the number eleven spot instead of a little bit higher. 485 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: I'm staying in the SEC for number twelve, not because 486 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: of homersm but because these are where most of the 487 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: best teams are. And if I were from Spokane, Washington, 488 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: I'd probably say the same thing. Tennessee my number twelve 489 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: program for the next three years in college football. Saw 490 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: someone hating on this earlier today. Why would Tennessee not 491 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: be there? Is my follow up question. Josh Hipel plus 492 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: a top level quarterback? What does that mean? Two years ago? 493 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: It meant they had the number one offense in the country. 494 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: Niko I Amaliava is going to be there for a 495 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: majority at least of the next three seasons. They made 496 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: sneaky good portal moves this past season, and I think 497 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: they'll continue to do that. They're a big player in NIL. 498 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: They're in a number of the big recruitments out there. 499 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: They're not far away now, like they got that signature 500 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: win a couple of years ago against Bama. But as 501 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: a program, I still don't think they've really arrived at 502 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: the head table, but they're not that far away. The 503 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: twelve team playoff era for Tennessee will be about as 504 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 1: beneficial as any program in the SEC, because they're going 505 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: to be the kind of program with the head coach 506 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: they have and the offense they run that has the 507 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: ability to get red hot in November, doesn't matter if 508 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: they have two or three losses. That's the one you'll 509 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: find yourself saying you don't want to play that's the 510 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: one that'll be the hot team down the stretch. That 511 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: quarterback don't want to run into him in the playoff. 512 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: That's the caliber that Tennessee could be at the low end. 513 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: At the high end, they don't need to be talked 514 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: about like that. You may just flat out find yourself 515 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: talking about him as a national championship contender wire to wire. 516 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: They have that high end ability. There are some areas 517 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: they take a back seat to. In other words, they're 518 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: not quite elite in all the categories that maybe a 519 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: Georgia is, but they're plenty close enough to where their 520 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: best shot is enough to take you down. Tennessee at 521 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: number eleven or twelve, Tennessee at number twelve, number thirteen, 522 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: this will go over well. I've got Miami as the 523 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: number thirteen program in college football over the next three years. 524 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: Ultra aggressive and talent acquisition. They've got an ultra aggressive 525 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: staff down there. I think it much more blends with 526 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: what the culture of the Miami program should be than 527 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: maybe some previous staffs. They've already been trending up so 528 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: year one to year two, the record improved year two 529 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: to year three. I expected to improve again. They're one 530 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: pop year away. That's all Lit'll take, mark my words. 531 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: If they win double digit games this year, if they 532 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: win the ACC, if they're in the playoff, if Cam 533 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: woard that big acquisition out of the portal, if he 534 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: blows up this year he's the best quarterback in the ACC, 535 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: that'll be it. That'll be it. They've been selling vision 536 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: down there. That's what they've been selling in the portal. 537 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: And recruiting, that's what they've been selling. There's been plenty 538 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: good enough. They've got really deep pockets, they've got really 539 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: good resources. They are extremely aggressive in talent acquisition. The 540 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: big question is can you get it done once you 541 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: got the guys on campus? And that is a remains 542 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: to be seen proposition today. But they're going to get 543 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: it done. And when they do, all of a sudden, 544 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: that's not a question anymore, And all of a sudden, 545 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: it's selling guys, hey, come continue to be a part 546 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: of this. It no longer is it come here, So 547 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: maybe we can do this one day. College football and 548 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: what Miami means in college football could sound much different 549 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: three years from now than it does today Today folks 550 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: can still take their shots. There may be a day 551 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: not too far down the road where you don't get 552 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: to take those shots anymore. So I've got Miami at 553 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: number thirteen. That's what having a lot of really good 554 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: players on campus does. You can have all the other 555 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: questions you want to. If you got the horses on Saturdays, 556 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: you got a shot number fourteen. This was the toughest one. 557 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: So Michigan was the second toughest one. I think this 558 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: is the toughest one. I put Clemson as the number 559 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: fourteen program in college football over the next three years. 560 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: Toughest program to place to me, because I have insane 561 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: amounts of respect for the culture there. I don't want 562 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: to just gloss over that Clemson has a unique culture 563 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: onto any other program in college football. They've done it 564 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: a certain way, unlike most any other program in college football. 565 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: Same guy's been there, Dado's been there the entire time. 566 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: High level coaching staff there. Love some of the moves 567 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: they just made this past summer and past spring to 568 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: get guys on campus. They are a ten to fifteen 569 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: caliber recruiter. That's where their recruiting classes have been landing 570 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: in the ten to fifteen range. When you're in that 571 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: range and you voluntarily neglect the transfer portal, it is 572 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: tough for me to put you as a program projecting 573 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: you over the next three years above. Programs take advantage 574 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: of all the mechanisms at their disposal. When it's this bunched, 575 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: and the five to fifteen range over the next three years, 576 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: to me is very bunched. It's very clogged up, and 577 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: everyone else is taking advantage of the portal and you're 578 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: choosing not to. That's how you land at fourteen. They 579 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: got a bunch of big games this season. They got 580 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: an early hinge game against Georgia, Florida State, NC State, 581 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: So we'll know a lot to me about this particular 582 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: placement of Clemson over the next three years. Just in 583 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: the first month and a half of this season, Clemson 584 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: at number fourteen, that was a tough one for me. 585 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: Number fifteen got Penn State at number fifteen of the 586 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: next three seasons college football program rankings, there's just a 587 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: ton of B to B plus with Penn State. Good 588 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: solid program. They are a top fifteen staff. I think 589 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: they're a top fifteen recruiting program. They are a top 590 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: five to fifteen team. In any given year, that's enough 591 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: to place them in number fifteen. Big question is is 592 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: there anything that's going to fundamentally change. Is there a 593 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: noticeable uptick coming for Penn State football over the next 594 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: three years that would warrant me putting them higher than 595 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: anywhere in the ten to fifteen race. This could just 596 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: as easily have been number ten as number fifteen. That's 597 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: how tightly bunched I think a lot of the teams are. 598 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: Is the new offensive coordinator, Andy colt Nikki, Is that 599 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: going to be enough to elevate their explosive play rate, 600 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: thus giving them a shot in big games against Ohio 601 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: State and Michigan and the like. Because if the answer 602 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: is yes, they ought to be higher than fifteen, there's 603 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: no slam dunk evidence that's gonna happen. So for now 604 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: they hold down the fifteen spot with a full understanding 605 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: in the room that there's not a big gap between 606 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: number seven and number fifteen. So Penn State at number fifteen, Okay, 607 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: so that's the full top fifteen. Now Caleb's asking where 608 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: is Missouri? Missouri probably in the fifteen to twenty range. 609 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: I'd ask you this, Caleb, I very rarely do this 610 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: with the live chat. But I just asked that, all right, 611 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the combination of what 612 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: I talked about. Let's take a look at on field 613 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: performance over the next three years. Let's take a look 614 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: at talent acquisition numbers over the next three years. Let's 615 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: take a look at resource pool, and let's take a 616 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: look at program synergy and culture. Does Missouri have a 617 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: better blend over a rolling three year average coming up 618 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: twenty four, twenty five, twenty six than one of those 619 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: fifteen do If you believe that, then they should be 620 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: in your top fifteen. I couldn't put Missouri in over 621 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: anyone in the top fifteen, not to say it's not competitive. 622 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: Missouri probably places in the fifteen to twenty range for me. 623 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: And by the way, that's really good because I'll tell 624 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: you what that means. That means on the field, Missouri 625 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: could they could be eighth this upcoming year, and then 626 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: twenty second and then fourteenth, and that would land them 627 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: what's sixteen or seventeen on average, So that would be 628 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: really good. That's exactly where they should be. Like if 629 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: Penn State's fifteen right now, that doesn't mean they couldn't 630 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: have a season next year where they're the number four 631 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: team in the country and have a first round by 632 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,239 Speaker 1: in the playoff. It's a rolling three year average, that's 633 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: how that works. So I will look forward to seeing 634 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: where you guys land on this top fifteen programs over 635 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: the next three years. What an opening to the show. 636 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: We just decided to do that today. We just thought, 637 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: you know, it seems like a calm day, so let's 638 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: choose violence tonight. Let's just do it. We've got so 639 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: much more to talk about on the show, so I'm 640 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: not gonna waste a whole lot of time. I'm happy 641 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: to have you guys here. Just make sure. I mean, 642 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: let me explain to you guys something. We don't take 643 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: an off season. We don't even say the word. And 644 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: there are a lot of folks out there who go seasonal, 645 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: God bless them. That's fine. The beach is a fun 646 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: place to be, the mountains are fun places to be. 647 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: But I know you guys have to work all year. 648 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: You probably get two or three weeks vacation, but you 649 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: have to work all year. So if you don't get 650 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: an off season, then we're not taking one. As a show. 651 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: We do the show free it's just college football all year. 652 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: It probably sounds a lot different than you'd see on 653 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: the major networks. That's intentional. We don't want it to 654 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: sound like anyone else's show. If you like it, thank you. 655 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: All we ask you to do is subscribe to the 656 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: podcast and the YouTube channel that keeps the show free. 657 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: That lets management know that you like what we're doing, 658 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 1: and we get to do whatever we want to as 659 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: a result, and recruit five of your friends to do 660 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: the same thing. Okay, let's talk about big what ifs. 661 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: Look across the landscape of college football. This is what 662 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,719 Speaker 1: if season's July. That's what God made youly for fireworks 663 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: and what ifs in college football. At least I got 664 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: a question for you. What if the state of Florida 665 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: ends up owning college football this year and over the 666 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: next couple of years. Think about it before you just 667 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: start yelling. Think about it too late for some of you. 668 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: Some of you are yelling right now, and you are 669 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: just give me a shot, you are to just let 670 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: me plead my case before you shout this down. Okay, 671 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: follow me here. Let's say Florida State and Miami in 672 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: the ACC they both have over underwin total of nine 673 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: and a half, so this is not crazy. Let's say 674 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: they both are college football playoff contenders this year, so 675 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: they both have legitimate seasons. Okay, that's one. Let's say 676 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: Florida doesn't bomb. Let's say they go over their win 677 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: total and they end up winning seven or eight games, 678 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: and their losses are pretty competitive losses to the point 679 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: where your doubts are erased about Billy Napier. And they 680 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: end the season and you say, seven or eight wins 681 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: for Florida, Wow, that was really good. And then the 682 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: momentum starts to build for the coming year. Book mark that. 683 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: Let's say Central Florida is the total wild card in 684 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, because remember on one Big Twelve program 685 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: that gets to recruit in state in Florida and it's 686 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: Gus Malson and it's UCF. They've been really active in 687 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: the portal as well. They got the fifth best odds 688 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: to win the conference this year. And it's the Big Twelve. 689 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: This is not normal football. It's the Big Twelve. Anything 690 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: can happen. So let's say that stuff starts to happen 691 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: all at the same time, and maybe Alex's goal is 692 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: over there at USF maybe they're a player in the 693 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: G five ranks. If this stuff starts to happen, which 694 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: it already kind of has. Florida State's already at the 695 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: head table. Miami's already trending in the right direction and 696 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 1: certainly recruiting at a much higher level than they were 697 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: in the previous couple of staffs. Florida's recruiting well too. 698 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 1: They just haven't won on the field yet. So if 699 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: we start adding those blocks, you know what, that equals, 700 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: number one, It equals an incredible environment in the state 701 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: of Florida. But that doesn't really affect you as a 702 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: Clemson fan. It doesn't affect you as an Ohio State fan. 703 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: You're just kind of watching it from a distance. Right, Well, 704 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: you're wrong, because here's where it impacts you. You guys 705 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: at Ohio State or Georgia or Alabama or Clemson, you 706 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: know that you've relied pretty heavily on talent from the 707 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: state of Florida to make up your own recruiting classes 708 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: over the last number of years. Bama had a national 709 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: championship win in twenty twenty where their entire secondary was 710 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: from South Florida. Just the most insane thing that really 711 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: should never happen, Nick Saban or not. That should never 712 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: happen if the teams in Florida are taking care of 713 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: their own business. But they weren't. They were all bad, 714 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: and so teams came in there and just took whatever 715 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: they wanted and then you guys took the backups. And 716 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: I said then, and I'll continue to say, an expanded 717 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: playoff is not how you balance the sport. Teams in 718 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: Florida getting their act together collectively is how you balance 719 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: the sport. Because if most of that talent in Florida 720 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: does not leave Florida, and you look at rosters like 721 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: Clemson in Alabama, in Georgia and Ohio State and they 722 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: don't go to you know what, they just lose a 723 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: couple of big time impact players per cycle that stay home. 724 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: So you know, every Calvin Ridley that doesn't go to 725 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa is one that goes to Miami or Florida State 726 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: or Florida. And then all of a sudden, over two 727 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: or three year period, the sport looks different. It's like 728 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 1: you've shaved at the tops of the highest canopies in 729 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 1: the sport and then you've built up the underbrush, and wow, 730 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: how competitively balanced this looks all of a sudden, Well, 731 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: what if that actually starts to happen? Million other factors 732 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: in play in the sport? What if that were to 733 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: start to happen? The secret to competitive balance in the 734 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: sport has been the state of Florida's programs getting their 735 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: act together for a long time, and then to a 736 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: secondary degree Texas and then to wait for it, a 737 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: tertiary degree. Mm hmm, that would be California. So the 738 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: jury's way way out on California. But Texas and especially 739 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: Florida goes are the keys, always have been, always will 740 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: be next. What if, Oh the nightmare scenario this is 741 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: for many, many friends of the program. What if a 742 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,879 Speaker 1: twelve team college football playoff is filled with more blowouts 743 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: that can't happen? Well, it statistically is less likely to happen, 744 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: but it can. So Producer Jesse breathlessly ran into the 745 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: studio minutes before airtime. This doesn't deserve a paper pop. 746 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: It's just a thing that happened, he said. At least 747 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: ten games in the playoff era have been decided by 748 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: twenty one or more points, so it's all already been 749 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: blowout city. Right, Okay, I don't need to tell you 750 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: that you already know that. So what's your response, Yeah, 751 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: we're tired of blowouts. Hey, I was too. I was too. 752 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: We had a difference of opinion, you and many of 753 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: you and I on what the answer should be, but 754 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: we were all tired of watching blowouts. But I never 755 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,959 Speaker 1: fell for the straw Man argument. The straw Man argument was, Josh, 756 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: aren't you tired of blowouts? And you were waiting for 757 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 1: me to say yes, so that I would then have 758 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: to listen to you say, well, I've got the answer, 759 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: expand the playoff more games. Therefore we'll have to have 760 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: close games if we have more of them. Right, Well, 761 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: it never mattered to me to begin with, so you 762 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: guys never got me on that. However, you did get 763 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: your expanded playoffs, So congratulations to all the expansionists out there. 764 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: You're not bad people. You just think differently than I 765 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: do on this front. But but this is what if time, 766 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: So my question, my proposition, my scenario. I still don't 767 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 1: even know if any of those the right terms. But 768 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: my thing that I want to put out their immunity 769 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: is what if we still just have a bunch of blowouts. 770 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is to that. I 771 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: don't know what the recourse. What do you do? Expand 772 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: it further? You go from twelve to eighteen, probably gonna 773 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: happen anyway. At some point. Do we just keep expanding 774 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: until eventually we're playing like a twenty four team multi 775 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: game first round? If finally someone goes to overtime tied 776 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: at twenty one, and someone somewhere says, AH, told you, 777 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: look at that eight and four Kansas State just one 778 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: in double overtime. I told you expanding the playoff was 779 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: the key to more competitively balanced games. But they're still 780 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: gonna get their head beat in against Georgia eventually, aren't. 781 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: They just gonna take a month and a half for 782 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: it to happen. January, I promise will be fun around here. 783 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: December will be fun. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna 784 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 1: pooh pooh on the playoff parade when the playoff gets here. 785 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: That's why I'm speaking my mind fervently about it now. 786 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: And the third what if that I would like to 787 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: float your tonight. Everyone talks about sleeper teams this time 788 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: of year, Big ten sleepers, that CEC sleepers, We've even 789 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: talked about ACC sleepers. What if Georgia Tech is actually 790 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: the sleeper team in the ACC. They're over under win 791 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: totals five and a half. So you may hear that 792 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: and say that's not even Bowl eligible. Why are you 793 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: talking about them as a sleeper. Remember, not only are 794 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: you not always what your record says you are in 795 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: college football, you're not always what your win total says 796 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: you are either in the preseason because some of us 797 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: play really difficult schedules. This is worth the paper pop. 798 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech this year plays Florida State in Ireland, they 799 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: play Notre Dame, they go to Louisville, they go to 800 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, they play Miami, they play n C State, 801 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: and they go to Georgia. Well, what would your over 802 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: under win total be if you had that schedule? Liberty 803 00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: and so yeah, they got a low over run win total, 804 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 1: And I got news for you, it's juice to the under. 805 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: So it'll probably go down to four and a half. 806 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: I don't care because I think it's a rapidly improving program. 807 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: Brent Key and the guys last year had their first 808 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: winning season in five years, and they had close losses 809 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: to Georgia and Louisville and Old Miss game was close 810 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and then Ole Miss pulled away. 811 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: So there's always that conference or a couple of conferences 812 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: every year where there's that Tim Brando special to fly 813 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: in the ointment team doesn't mean they themselves are capable 814 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: of contending for the conference crown. I don't think Georgia 815 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 1: Tech's going to be in the mix for the conference 816 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: title this year. I just think they may be able 817 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 1: to take a crowbar to a couple of your shins 818 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: and keep you out of the conference championship game. And 819 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: once again, like Mema always said, if you yourself can't 820 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: win it, Joshua, take a crow bar to someone else's 821 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: knee so that they cannot win it. Wise beyond her years, 822 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: was me mo. So, Yeah, maybe it's Virginia Tech over there. 823 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: Maybe we're overthinking the room in virgin you text the 824 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:06,439 Speaker 1: sleeper team. Or maybe it's another tech that would look 825 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: halfway decent on a T shirt down there. Maybe it's 826 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: another tech absent the context. It's probably not such a 827 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: good idea, more good monologue than actual idea. We've had 828 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: amazing traffic this month, guys. I'll talk to you about that. 829 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: Later in the meantime, I got to talk to you 830 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: about Academy. I just mentioned traffic because I see the 831 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: live I see the live chat over here. Just appreciate 832 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: you guys. Academy Sports and Outdoors. They were there for you. 833 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: I know. I saw many of you, many of you 834 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: screenshat your receipts, which is the past tensive screenshot for 835 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 1: those new Many of you screenshat your receipts going to 836 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors over the July fourth weekend and 837 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,839 Speaker 1: week and they took care of you. I mean, some 838 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: of you down near the beach went and bought sand 839 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: castle equipment, which even I didn't know they carried. So 840 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: Golf clapped to all of you guys, including some who 841 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 1: actually bought golf equipment. Golf clapped all you guys, and uh, look, 842 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna stay open the rest of the year. It's 843 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: not like an Independence Day special. It's not a fireworks stand. 844 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: It's not like the Bang Bang Lady down on Highway 845 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: four thirty one just south of Phoenix City. They stay 846 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: open all year. And so I ask you to continue 847 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 1: to shop Academy Sports and Outdoors all year, not near 848 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: Christmas right now, but it will eventually come. You want 849 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: to get a head start on that Academy Sports and 850 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: Outdoors fall Sports just around the corner. You want to 851 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 1: get a head start on that Academy Outdoors. Do you 852 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: just want to grill Hamburgers tomorrow? Go buy your grill 853 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: at Academy Sports and Outdoors Academy dot com if you 854 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: don't have one in your backyard. And the reason I'm 855 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: asking you to do this is not just because I 856 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: randomly had Academy on the mind today. They are one 857 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: of our exclusive partners. They've been with us for a 858 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: long time. And you're not paying a dime for this 859 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: show because Academy pays the freight for you. So that's 860 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 1: called a sponsorship in Layman's terms. We thank them and 861 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: I ask you to visit them. We move along. Got 862 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: a throw this piece of paper back in the stack. 863 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: It's a paper stack, not a paper pop. We have 864 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: some terminology we like to use around here. In One 865 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: of the terms is hinge game. Hinge game is just 866 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 1: one of those creaky games that, depending on which way 867 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: it swings in the season, will have a big impact. 868 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: And we got to find out which way they're going 869 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: to Swing and I got five of these games, but 870 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: this is not an exhaustive list, so I'm happy to 871 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: take feedback from you. We don't normally have hinge games 872 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: in week one because no one knows anything in week one, 873 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: but Week one has a massive hinge game this year, 874 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: unique circumstances. Miami goes to Gainesville in Week one, they 875 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: go to Florida. Miami at Florida in Week one, and 876 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: we've got a line on this game. FanDuel sure enough 877 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 1: has a line on the game. If you haven't seen it, 878 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 1: what do you think it is before I show it 879 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: to you, before I say it? Miami at Florida. This 880 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: game's in the swamp at three point thirty. It's a 881 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: if they die, they Die special, probably one hundred and 882 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: seven degrees before you fact in heat index. Who do 883 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 1: you think is favored? The answer is Miami minus two 884 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 1: and a half at FanDuel. You can bet that right now, ironically, 885 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 1: unless you're in the state of Florida. But do we 886 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: think that number is gonna stay there? I don't know. 887 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: And it's not Friday Night lines right now, which is 888 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 1: one of many reasons you should follow on Instagram at 889 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: late kick josh Oh Friday Night lines. How great is 890 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 1: that gonna be? This fault? But this is about hinge games. 891 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: Do you understand how toxic things are gonna get for 892 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 1: the loser of this game? Way too toxic, way too toxic. 893 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: Because it's one game, it's an out of conference game. 894 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: Everyone's hopes and dreams are still in front of them 895 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: no matter if they win or lose this game. Candidly, personally, 896 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 1: I think this game is a not a must win. 897 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,720 Speaker 1: It's more of a must win for Florida than Miami 898 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: in my opinion, and I'll talk about that in August. 899 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: But be that as it made. If Miami loses, Mario 900 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 1: is just gonna hear a whole lot of the same thing. 901 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 1: You can go get the players, but you can't win 902 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: with them. If Florida loses, it's gonna be well first 903 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,399 Speaker 1: of many Bowl season out the window for us this year. 904 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,439 Speaker 1: Fire billy, blue chip billy, no sun belt billy. It's 905 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 1: gonna be gross toxic. Luckily, I'm not either one of 906 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: those guys, so I don't have to worry about it personally. 907 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a hinge game, an unprecedented hinge 908 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: game in week one, nonetheless, but it's gonna be a 909 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 1: hinge game. Now I go to Week nine, which is where, 910 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 1: far more often than not, the hinge games are the 911 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: middle to the latter portion of the season. Week nine, 912 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 1: you know who plays in the Big Ten. And Week 913 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,879 Speaker 1: nine Nebraska at Ohio State. Now, Nebraska's over underwent total 914 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: of seven and a half. Nebraska may be favored in 915 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: all eight games before they play this one in Week nine. Now, 916 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't think many people realize that favor doesn't mean 917 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: a whole lot, especially given Nebraska's recent history in one 918 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 1: possession games. I understand if you want to make that point. However, 919 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: statistically that's got to turn over sometime. So I'm gonna 920 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: read this to you reight quick. If you're listening on 921 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: pod UTEP Colorado, Northern Ira, Northern Iowa, Illinois. That's a 922 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 1: Friday game against Illinois at Purdue, Rutgers at Indiana. That's 923 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: the first eight games before they go to Ohio State. 924 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: Now they go to Ohio State, they'll be a sizeable underdog, 925 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: even if they're undefeated, and even if Ohio State's already 926 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: lost like to Oregon, they'll be a double digit underdog. 927 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: I believe But here's the thing. What if they pulled 928 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: that out or what if they just played them close. 929 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: I'm a believer that in a season like this, Nebraska 930 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,360 Speaker 1: can lose that game and win. They can't lose it 931 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: fifty two to three and win. But if they lose 932 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: it thirty five thirty one, they go in there and 933 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: go toe to toe with Ryan Day and Ohio State, 934 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 1: who will settle for nothing less than a national title 935 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: this year. Nebraska as a program's kind of sort of 936 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 1: off to the races. Oh And, by the way, if 937 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: they were good enough to hang close with Ohio State 938 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 1: that day probably means they're good enough to challenge for 939 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: a spot in the Big Ten Championship game, even if 940 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 1: they're not, even if they're just a good, solid eight 941 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,959 Speaker 1: win team this year. That's really good, really good sign 942 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 1: because it also means they rode a true freshman quarterback 943 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: in the process of doing that. So that's a big 944 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: hinge game because also Ohio State will have already faced 945 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: Oregon and they'll still have a trip to Penn State 946 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: and a home game against Michigan to round out the season. 947 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: So that's certainly not an affordable slip up spot for 948 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,879 Speaker 1: Ohio State, whether they're undefeated or not. So I think 949 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: Nebraska Ohio State one of the bigger hinge games in 950 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 1: the Big Ten this year. Back to the ACC for 951 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,439 Speaker 1: an actual conference game. This one's easy to see coming. 952 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: Clemson at Florida State Week six, huge hinge game. It's 953 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 1: not a division game anymore because we don't have divisions, 954 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 1: so they could play again, so it's not a knockout game. 955 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 1: That's a good thing. We like that. That's a good 956 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 1: move by the ACC. This is a chance for a 957 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,240 Speaker 1: trend reversal for Clemson because the trend has been Florida 958 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: State on the way up, Clemson on the way down. 959 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,439 Speaker 1: One of them uses the portal constantly. The other one 960 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: can't even speak the word portal without having to wash 961 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,839 Speaker 1: their mouth out with soap. Well, here's the thing about that. 962 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 1: As long as you we get to find out, we 963 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 1: get a referendum. Florida State won this thing last year. 964 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 1: If they win it again, then the chorus only intensifies. Dabbo, 965 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: you gotta change your ways, Mike, you got it figured out. 966 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: Keep doing what you're doing, buddy. But if they go 967 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,919 Speaker 1: down there, if they go into Doke, if Clemson goes 968 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 1: into Tallahassee and they win, probably as a point spread underdog. 969 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: Then Dabo gets to go to the podium. Not only 970 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 1: does he get to do that grin that Dabo does 971 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 1: when they win, and we've seen a lot of it 972 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,919 Speaker 1: over the years. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I don't, 973 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 1: depending on if I picked him or not. He gets 974 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 1: to go to the podium. And he would never say this, 975 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: He's far too classy to say it. But imagine if 976 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,320 Speaker 1: Clemson won the game in Tallahassee and Dabo goes to 977 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 1: the podium and says, wow, not only did we beat 978 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: Florida State's recruits, we beat all those transfer players. And 979 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, we may not use the portal a whole lot, 980 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: but we sure do know which players to let hit 981 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,479 Speaker 1: the exit door, because in this scenario, they just beat 982 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 1: their old quarterback dj U Angili lay Again. Daba would 983 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: never say that, it'd be a very mean thing to say, 984 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: but he could be in a position. He could be 985 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 1: in a position to told you so to death. So 986 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: depending on where you fall on that, that's a big 987 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: hinge game. I got one in the sec. I I 988 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys realize Georgia's got a really 989 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 1: hard schedule this year, and it's being masked because Florida's 990 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: got the hardest one this side of the NFL. Georgia's 991 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,839 Speaker 1: got one of the hardest schedules in college football this year. 992 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 1: By the time they play ole Miss in Week eleven, 993 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: Georgia will have already played Clemson at Alabama, Auburn at Texas, 994 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 1: and Florida. That's just the games they already will have played. 995 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 1: Then they play at ole Miss before they turn around 996 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 1: to play Tennessee the next week. So that is a 997 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: far cry from what life in the good old SEC 998 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: East used to serve up on the platter for Georgia. 999 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 1: So this is a hinge game because unlike Georgia, ole 1000 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 1: Miss has got a very manageable schedule. I think if 1001 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 1: you were to tell me they beat Georgia, they're in 1002 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 1: the SEC Championship game, That's what I would think, because 1003 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,439 Speaker 1: elsewhere on the schedule they got back to back road 1004 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,319 Speaker 1: games at South Carolina at LSU, a bye week, then 1005 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: they play Oklahoma, they go a two out of those three, 1006 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 1: and then beat Georgia, They're in the SEC Championship game. Like, 1007 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,320 Speaker 1: to me, that's a no brainer unless just massive amounts 1008 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 1: of injuries pile up. But as for Georgia, well, they 1009 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: look like they undefeated. By the time they go to Oxford, 1010 00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: they're a one loss team. Could they be a two 1011 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 1: loss team just gasping for air, knowing they have do 1012 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 1: or die like back against the wall, no room for error, 1013 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: like any of those scenarios could be the case for Georgia. Here, 1014 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: it's not a typical Georgia schedule. Guys. They could be 1015 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: a really really good team this year and lose two 1016 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: regular season games just because they play a bunch of 1017 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,479 Speaker 1: really really good teams. So that's a big hinge game. 1018 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: And then, because I will not do one of these 1019 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 1: segments without talking about our dear friend, the Big Twelve, 1020 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: America's college football conference, Kansas State goes to West Virginia 1021 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,239 Speaker 1: in Week eight. What is this doing on your list, Josh, Well, 1022 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 1: the simple answer is it's my list, so I have 1023 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 1: a constitutional right to make it however I want. But 1024 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 1: also I think it's a Big Twelve schedule, and it's 1025 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: a Big Twelve special in terms of schedule, the Big Twelve, 1026 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,439 Speaker 1: it's just pure demolition derby, so anyone can win the thing. 1027 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 1: There's no elite team, there's several really good teams. It's 1028 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,720 Speaker 1: like a Tier one's got nine chairs at the table. 1029 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 1: So that means you just have this incredible conference slate. 1030 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: And unlike the SEC where you circle Georgia versus Texas, 1031 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: there's not that kind of game in the Big Twelve, 1032 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 1: but they're a whole bunch of like Tier two type games. 1033 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: So here's the schedule dynamics. When Kansas State goes to 1034 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,880 Speaker 1: West Virginia in week eight, Kansas State will be in 1035 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 1: the second leg of a back to back road stretch 1036 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,799 Speaker 1: that takes them to Boulder, Colorado, and then all the 1037 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,280 Speaker 1: way over to Morgantown, West Virginia, back to back weeks. 1038 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, they play Kansas the next week, 1039 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 1: no bye in between all that. So it's a really, 1040 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: really tough It's one of the rare back to back 1041 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 1: road let down slash look ahead rival sandwich spots in 1042 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 1: college football. One of the great I am not even 1043 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 1: gonna pretend to say that again, but it's one of 1044 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: those great situations. And then West Virginia, if that's not enough, 1045 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,280 Speaker 1: West Virginia's in the middle of a four game stretch 1046 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,959 Speaker 1: here where they go at Oklahoma State, then Iowa State, 1047 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: they play Kansas State and then they go to Arizona. 1048 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,399 Speaker 1: Their season will be made one way or another there. 1049 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: And you know what, had they not had the bye 1050 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 1: before Oklahoma State, we could have added Kansas in there. 1051 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 1: They play Kansas before they played Oklahoma State a couple 1052 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,160 Speaker 1: weeks later. So the Big Twelve so beautiful. Why won't 1053 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: you guys just latch onto the Big twelve like me? 1054 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,320 Speaker 1: I've got time to recruit some of you. I've got time. 1055 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 1: It's America's college football conference. Just it doesn't have to 1056 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 1: have a bunch of national title contenders. I promise, okay 1057 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 1: to watch good, solid, three loss teams play to the 1058 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 1: bitter end in college football. It's okay. It used to 1059 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 1: be okay, and it still is okay. We've had amazing 1060 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: traffic this month. I wrote down some of the numbers, 1061 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: but frankly, it's a little boring to read numbers on air, 1062 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,920 Speaker 1: So I'm just telling you July has been amazing. I'll 1063 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 1: tell you what. I've seen, an uptick m subscriptions to 1064 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 1: the YouTube channel. I think it's just because we've been 1065 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,359 Speaker 1: asking for them. Management notice is that I have been 1066 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:32,399 Speaker 1: summoned to management's house after the show tonight. It could 1067 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 1: be about anything and everything. Don't know, you guys may 1068 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,359 Speaker 1: never hear from me again, although I don't typically think 1069 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 1: they conduct business behind a gate, and I will have 1070 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: to go through one to get to management's house. But 1071 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 1: management notices when you subscribe to the channel, and if 1072 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,800 Speaker 1: you want to keep the show out of management's reach, 1073 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 1: you gotta sub to the channel. That's the best thing 1074 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,440 Speaker 1: you can do, because look, even management won't mess with 1075 00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 1: something that brings management money. Even Memle used to teach me, 1076 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 1: so I appreciate you guys. All seriousness. Numbers are great 1077 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: for July. Keep them going. Recruit as many of your 1078 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,759 Speaker 1: friends as possible. It's everyone show, not just for a 1079 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,800 Speaker 1: certain few around here. They're watching us in Eugene, Oregon, Robins, Texas, 1080 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: Corpus Christi, Texas. Got my eye on that hurricane, guys. 1081 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 1: I expect Kat two at landfall pulling for you. Guys. 1082 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 1: You've been here before, act right, you know how to 1083 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,320 Speaker 1: handle yourself, and we'll get through this. I have got 1084 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: like a ton of questions that we've been asking this 1085 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,359 Speaker 1: time of year, but I got one here. I need 1086 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 1: your sage advice on this, especially those of you out west. 1087 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 1: I need you to humor me for a second. Here's 1088 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,360 Speaker 1: one of the biggest questions to me in the sport 1089 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 1: this year. How are we going to feel about USC 1090 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: and Lincoln Riley in December, so the whole season's happened. 1091 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 1: How do you think you'll feel? How will I feel? 1092 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,279 Speaker 1: This is very open ended because they could go a 1093 00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:02,839 Speaker 1: number of different ways. I've got three legs of concern here. 1094 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: The first is just on field, So I have on 1095 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 1: field concern, how are you gonna play this season? I've 1096 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 1: got recruiting concern, which is ramped up significantly in the 1097 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,800 Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. And I've got program stability concerns. 1098 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,879 Speaker 1: Let me hit all of them for just a second here. 1099 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 1: The on field's obvious. They start with LSU, and then 1100 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 1: it's the first year in the Big Ten after that. 1101 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,359 Speaker 1: So they got a game at Michigan in week three, 1102 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 1: they got Wisconsin a week later, a very very rapidly 1103 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,799 Speaker 1: ascending Wisconsin program. They got Penn State coming in there 1104 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: in October. They have got a game at Washington, They've 1105 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,520 Speaker 1: got Notre Dame later in the year. They don't play Oregon, 1106 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 1: they don't play Ohio State, so they could go seven 1107 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,560 Speaker 1: and five, or they could make the Big Ten Championship 1108 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 1: game depending on how much that defense progresses. So that's 1109 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 1: the on field piece. They're over underwent total seven and 1110 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 1: a half, but maybe they overachieve according to odds makers. 1111 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 1: Maybe that happens. That's only part of it. If they 1112 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,359 Speaker 1: go nine and three or ten and two, I'd feel 1113 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,520 Speaker 1: good about the on field part come December. Recruiting is 1114 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 1: another thing we weren't just guessing when I did that 1115 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,399 Speaker 1: segment three weeks ago. I think most of you picked 1116 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,359 Speaker 1: up on that. I mentioned three names. Two of them 1117 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,200 Speaker 1: immediately decommitted, had little heads up that was coming. The 1118 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: third still there for now. So Justice Terry and Isaiah 1119 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 1: Gibson the two big time five star defensive linemen, and 1120 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 1: I think one of them's an edge. They've both decommitted. 1121 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 1: It was going to be tough to hang on to them. 1122 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,440 Speaker 1: Juju Lewis, the quarterback, is still committed for now. But 1123 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean every day I'll look at the kids' social 1124 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 1: media is posting pictures wearing someone's shirt other than USC, 1125 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: So who knows what's going to happen there. The class 1126 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: is ranked twenty fourth right now, how are they going 1127 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:45,120 Speaker 1: to finish this cycle. In fact, what does the program 1128 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: project to be as a recruiting outfit over the next 1129 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 1: three years? Good? Really, good? Great? Elite? Where's it going 1130 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 1: to be? Which leads me to the third part. So 1131 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 1: had Lincoln Riley on the show? I don't think I've 1132 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,400 Speaker 1: ever spoken to Lincoln Riley in my life, so I'm 1133 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 1: certainly not carrying water for Lincoln Riley here. I will say, 1134 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,960 Speaker 1: when I get feedback from people around the USC program, 1135 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,120 Speaker 1: it's almost like they say, you got a minute when 1136 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,400 Speaker 1: they're trying to describe what it's like around there, you 1137 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: got a minute. My whole thing with USC is you 1138 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 1: need to act like USC. So USC was thought to 1139 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 1: be one of the big players when you find out 1140 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 1: the portal is going to overlap with NIL. Do you 1141 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 1: remember how big a giant people thought USC was gonna 1142 00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 1: because you Hollywood, Southern California in the NIL era, think 1143 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: about what we can sell. Well, that's great, that looks 1144 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 1: good on marketing materials. But if you don't have your 1145 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 1: you know what together behind the scenes, if you don't 1146 00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: have the right people making decisions. I'm talking about the 1147 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 1: head coach there, I'm talking about the people above the 1148 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 1: head coach. If you don't have that in order, if 1149 00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 1: you don't have your finances in such a way, if 1150 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 1: you don't have your donor class equipped to participate in 1151 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 1: such a way that it leverages INIL, what in the 1152 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: world does in IL mean as it relates to USC. 1153 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,919 Speaker 1: So I look at USC right now, and I look 1154 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: at these other big time programs. I don't think USC 1155 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: is anywhere close to touching what Texas is, or what 1156 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 1: or what Ohio State is behind the scenes Oregon. They 1157 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,040 Speaker 1: could not tote Oregon's jock in NIL right now. And 1158 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,960 Speaker 1: the reason is not because they're poor or they're broke, 1159 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 1: quite the opposite. It's just because you take for granted that, well, 1160 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 1: once INIL is a part of the equation, USC will dominate. Now, No, 1161 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 1: they won't. USC won't do anything without acting like USC. 1162 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't mean act like USC is of recent I 1163 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 1: mean act like USC that I knew when I was 1164 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 1: growing up. Pete Carroll USC terrified, scared to death, like 1165 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 1: Pete on the side of your leg. When you see 1166 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,920 Speaker 1: them line up across from USC, that's the USC. I 1167 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: grew up watching them. It hadn't me, and it meant 1168 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: in that long time could could. I readily will admit 1169 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 1: to you. I look around and like, this era should 1170 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 1: be in USC's wheelhouse. Look at what Texas is doing. 1171 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 1: USC ought to be what Texas is. Texas is just skyrocketing. 1172 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 1: Why because well, number one, they're fully aligned behind the scenes, 1173 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,520 Speaker 1: and I don't want to just overlook that because alignment 1174 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 1: is the name of the game. But then number two, 1175 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 1: they've realized, wow, like everything about the sports built for 1176 01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 1: us right now, it's a launching pad. Let's just position 1177 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 1: ourselves on him. There's the launching pad at USC too, 1178 01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 1: and everyone's standing over there going, uh, I don't know. 1179 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 1: We'll get out of the room, then get someone in 1180 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,400 Speaker 1: the room that does know. So I am hard on 1181 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,800 Speaker 1: USC sometimes casuals mistake that is me hating on USC 1182 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 1: when it's the total opposite. I love for him to 1183 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 1: be dominant again. I'd love for him to be elite. 1184 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 1: They're not going to be at this rate because they 1185 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:59,240 Speaker 1: don't have their self in line administratively, and I don't 1186 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 1: think they have them in line top to bottom as 1187 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 1: a program. That program extends so far beyond just the 1188 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 1: players and the coaches. I mean, if I'm the head 1189 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,880 Speaker 1: coach there, one of the first things that you do 1190 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,800 Speaker 1: if you take over a job, one of the first 1191 01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 1: things you do is you're introduced to like ten to 1192 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 1: twenty people who are the difference makers in that market 1193 01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 1: and in your program. It doesn't matter if you're the 1194 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,920 Speaker 1: head coach at Clemson or at USC. It's the same way. 1195 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 1: Some places. Those people are just all singing from the 1196 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,000 Speaker 1: same hymnal and it sounds great because when everyone's singing 1197 01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: from the same hymnal, is just one universal chorus. And 1198 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 1: at that point you're just a freight train while a 1199 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:42,280 Speaker 1: hunter cars moving the same direction. Other places, it's disjointed, 1200 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 1: and some alto thinks he's a soprano and this dude 1201 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 1: over here should just be mopping the floors, but he's 1202 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 1: trying to sing baritone. And then my best singers don't 1203 01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,400 Speaker 1: even have their mouths open. And that's kind of usc 1204 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 1: behind the scenes right now. So Lincoln Riley can't talk 1205 01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: like that because they'll sound like a whiner. If he does, 1206 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:03,720 Speaker 1: I will, I'll say it for him. So yeah, it's okay. 1207 01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,120 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's the face of the program, and he bears 1208 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 1: the brunt of the criticism, and he makes a whole 1209 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,960 Speaker 1: lot of money, and so that comes with the territory. 1210 01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: Having said that, is it totally fair to criticize the 1211 01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 1: guy when he doesn't get what was kind of pitched 1212 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 1: to him as the reason to come to USC. It 1213 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 1: is my belief he doesn't have all of that in 1214 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,080 Speaker 1: line right now behind the scenes. Of course, I could 1215 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:36,560 Speaker 1: be wrong. We move along. Actually, I didn't want to 1216 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,360 Speaker 1: mention this to you, guys. I mentioned I meant to 1217 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,240 Speaker 1: say this like an hour ago. It is college football 1218 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,440 Speaker 1: preview magazine season. I'm a big believer in the physical magazines. 1219 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,080 Speaker 1: I've bought him for a long time. Protocol around here 1220 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 1: is you buy the magazine, you open it, and you 1221 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 1: sniff it. And I saw Anthlon shifted to a different 1222 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,280 Speaker 1: style of paper this year. I was a little disappointed 1223 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 1: by that. But be that as it may. I buy 1224 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: all the physical magazine I'm a big, big supporter of that. 1225 01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 1: But a lot of you guys ask me which preview 1226 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 1: magazine should I buy, Josh, and I've told you for 1227 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 1: a little while now. Just within that space, I think 1228 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 1: a lot of the digital products have met and maybe 1229 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,680 Speaker 1: even surpassed a lot of the store bought products that 1230 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: you would get off the shelf, and I mentioned a 1231 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 1: few of them, and one of them I want to 1232 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,640 Speaker 1: mention to you is the guys over at CFB Focus. 1233 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,920 Speaker 1: Their preview magazine is available now. They sent me an 1234 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 1: advance copy. Love it really easy to understand, easy to digest. 1235 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,600 Speaker 1: It's digital, so you can download it whenever you want 1236 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 1: to cfbpod dot com. It's cheaper than the ones you'll 1237 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,240 Speaker 1: buy in the store, same amount of information, maybe more 1238 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 1: information in some cases then you'll get in the store. 1239 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 1: So check out a bunch of them. Just like the 1240 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,240 Speaker 1: shows watch our show, watch a number of shows, but 1241 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 1: make sure you're up to date on the digital products. 1242 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Just like in our world, you can go watch TV 1243 01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 1: all you want to. It is my humble opinion some 1244 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 1: of the best shows in the college football space are 1245 01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:01,200 Speaker 1: in the digital space now. And likewise, in magazine culture, 1246 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: some of the best preview magazines are not actual physical magazines. 1247 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 1: They're in the digital space now. Cfbpod dot Com. Those 1248 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,080 Speaker 1: guys do a good job. They didn't pay me a dime. 1249 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 1: They did give me a free copy. They didn't pay 1250 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 1: me a dime for that. I just I liked the product. Okay, 1251 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 1: let us move along. Hey, we got a good segment here. 1252 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 1: We got a good one that I have a whole 1253 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,360 Speaker 1: lot written down on this piece of paper, because there's 1254 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,800 Speaker 1: a lot you need to know about underrated offenses. Jeff 1255 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: hit me up, he said, give us more football talk. 1256 01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 1: Wish granted, Jeff. He continues, what do you think will 1257 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 1: be the most underrated offensive unit that will be surprising 1258 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,200 Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty four season? Colin, Actually, keep this up, community, 1259 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 1: keep this up, because I didn't even come close to 1260 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,800 Speaker 1: reading that the way he wrote it, So for post 1261 01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 1: edit purposes, Jeff hit us up and he said, what 1262 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 1: do you think will be the most underrated offensive units 1263 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,919 Speaker 1: that we will be surprised by for the twenty twenty 1264 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 1: four season. Jeff, I got five of them. North Carolina 1265 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 1: State's the first one. North Carolina State most anonymous college 1266 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:05,240 Speaker 1: football program in major power for which is its own 1267 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 1: side note. I talked about that the other week. But 1268 01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,200 Speaker 1: could be the most underrated offense in college football this year. 1269 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: They're defensive team. You think NC State, you think defense. 1270 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,000 Speaker 1: That's been their identity. Maybe not this year. Grayson McCall 1271 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 1: transferred there from Coastal Carolina, where it felt like he 1272 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 1: spent in the last decade of his career. He was 1273 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 1: a twenty touchdown, three interception or better quarterback each of 1274 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 1: the last three seasons, So very consistent. You know what 1275 01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: you're getting there. Kevin conceptsi On is a slot receiver 1276 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 1: that also runs the ball a fair amount for them. 1277 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 1: He had a thousand combined yards last year in ten touchdowns. 1278 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 1: He's still there. They're under a second year offensive coordinator 1279 01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 1: that I think they're ready to do some things under. 1280 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,919 Speaker 1: They got a good offensive line. They added a five 1281 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 1: point four yard per carrey tailback out of the portal. 1282 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,040 Speaker 1: They got a tight end that was third in the 1283 01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 1: country and receptions last year. NC State they've always played 1284 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 1: good defense there. Defense, maybe not quite to that degree 1285 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 1: this year. Maybe it's offense that lights it up for 1286 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 1: NC State. So I've got them go down the road 1287 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,600 Speaker 1: a little ways to Knoxville. This should not be the case. 1288 01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,680 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to mention Tennessee here, but our friends 1289 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 1: over at EA failed to put them as a top 1290 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 1: twenty five offense. And so, man, if we're living in 1291 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 1: a world where folks are telling me Tennessee's not a 1292 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,280 Speaker 1: top twenty five offense, then pop that paper. Tennessee's an 1293 01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 1: underrated offense. They were the number one offense in the 1294 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: country two seasons ago. And they've added Niko Iamaliava, who 1295 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,800 Speaker 1: I think will be a better quarterback in time than 1296 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,959 Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker was. And that's not to discount the many 1297 01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,120 Speaker 1: accomplishments of Hendon Hooker. But Brew McCoy is still there, 1298 01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 1: Squirrel White still there, Dante Thornton still there. They added 1299 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:46,080 Speaker 1: Chris Brasel from Tulane. Huge addition, big time addition. They 1300 01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,680 Speaker 1: want to keep it quiet, so I'm not saying his 1301 01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 1: name loud. Chris Brasel, the second six', five about two 1302 01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,320 Speaker 1: hundred pounds out of twu. Lane love.

Tackle they're 1304 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 1: AT lsu going to be a really good offense that 1305 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 1: will improve week over week this year In. Knoxville AND 1306 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,440 Speaker 1: i don't know why it is that people are going 1307 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,400 Speaker 1: to end up being surprised by. This you shouldn't. Be 1308 01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 1: don't ever be surprised That Josh hippel teams do things, 1309 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 1: offensively but some of you will. Be AND i just 1310 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 1: want this is proof that we, did in, fact try 1311 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 1: and tell you so Still, Water, Oklahoma you're up Next Oklahoma. 1312 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:27,920 Speaker 1: State all five offensive linemen. Returning they're all red shirt. 1313 01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,840 Speaker 1: Seniors they are fully grown men who probably have, wives multiple, 1314 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,600 Speaker 1: children sensible, mortgages and yet they are playing college. Football. 1315 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Still we're approaching two hundred combined starts just on the 1316 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,919 Speaker 1: offensive line For Oklahoma. State pretty. Insane and Then i've 1317 01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 1: got the nation's leading rusher In Oli gordon returning behind. 1318 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Them but it's not just a bulldozer of a runout 1319 01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 1: fit because they've Got Brendan presley at the. Slot they've 1320 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 1: Got Shot. Owens that's their top two receivers. Returning Alan 1321 01:07:56,120 --> 01:08:00,080 Speaker 1: bowman last year at. Quarterback fifteen, touchdowns that's, okay ke 1322 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 1: and interceptions was. Not so IF i protect him and 1323 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,400 Speaker 1: give him, time AND i got a, solid dependable run, 1324 01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 1: game really good run, game AND i got two receivers 1325 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,200 Speaker 1: That i'm very familiar. With CAN i just keep the 1326 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 1: touchdowns but cut down on the? Turnovers SO i have 1327 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,960 Speaker 1: inside sources that tell me they worked on not turning 1328 01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,719 Speaker 1: the ball over in spring And. Stillwater don't tell anyone, 1329 01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 1: that but that's WHAT i heard at. Least SO i 1330 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Think Oklahoma state's. UNDERRATED i Think Penn state's. Underrated it's 1331 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,120 Speaker 1: not just A jesse special. Here it kind of, is 1332 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,120 Speaker 1: BUT i would not allow this in the show IF 1333 01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,960 Speaker 1: i didn't believe. It it's an easy team to. Peg 1334 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,200 Speaker 1: we've known What Penn state is really good, defense good 1335 01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 1: offense against the lesser, teams shut down against the better. 1336 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:44,600 Speaker 1: Teams that was what they were last. YEAR i was 1337 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,840 Speaker 1: at both of the shutdown, games SO i should. Know 1338 01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 1: Andy koldlenicky coming there From kansas as the offensive coordinator 1339 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,920 Speaker 1: is a very very big move in college football assistant coaching. 1340 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,800 Speaker 1: Hires that's a very big move because they've got one 1341 01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:59,559 Speaker 1: of the best one to two combos at running back 1342 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,680 Speaker 1: in the. COUNTRY i have not sold an ounce of 1343 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,320 Speaker 1: My Drew aller, stock AND i take heat for it every. 1344 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Day you guys have been using the poop emoji talking 1345 01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:10,599 Speaker 1: About Drew, aller and you should not be doing that 1346 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 1: because number, one don't trash talk college kids on the. 1347 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,439 Speaker 1: Internet but number, Two Drew aller's very. Good, guys you've 1348 01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,160 Speaker 1: seen one year of, him still got a chance to 1349 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,880 Speaker 1: be very. Good Tyler warren's a top ten tight. END 1350 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,000 Speaker 1: i think they got good talent at. Quarterback he didn't 1351 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,000 Speaker 1: turned the ball over a lot even last. Year they 1352 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 1: just couldn't move the ball down the. Field, well they've 1353 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:32,599 Speaker 1: got enough at wide receiver and they certainly have enough 1354 01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 1: raw talent at quarterback that if that offensive coordinator hired 1355 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 1: just takes root a little bit quicker than, ANTICIPATED i 1356 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,240 Speaker 1: think they can scheme some. Explosivity so some of the 1357 01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,519 Speaker 1: players were there last year just couldn't get it done 1358 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,360 Speaker 1: with your. Sich so Now Colton nicki is the. Guy 1359 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,960 Speaker 1: it's his, term AND i like to take a stop In, 1360 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 1: Lexington kentucky this time of year because it's one of 1361 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 1: the most experienced offenses In, america and we've Added Brock 1362 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:02,559 Speaker 1: vandergriff at, quarterback the transfer from Jo Dane Key Daveon 1363 01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 1: brown top two wide receivers return. Here the offensive line 1364 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:11,520 Speaker 1: returns four starters with fifteen plus. Starts they're all upperclassmen 1365 01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,719 Speaker 1: on the offensive. Line they did good in the portal 1366 01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 1: to it wide. RECEIVER i forgot to mention that they've 1367 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 1: got a good one to it running. Back so EVERYTHING 1368 01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,360 Speaker 1: i would need to believe In Mark stoops and his 1369 01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:25,479 Speaker 1: offense up, there they've. Got every TIME i Mentioned, kentucky someone, says, 1370 01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,679 Speaker 1: well they're still going to be the same Old Kentucky 1371 01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,720 Speaker 1: like that's a bad.

Odds it returns at a plus sixteen, 1540 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,160 Speaker 1: thousand seven, hundred which means if you bet ten dollars on, 1541 01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 1: this you win one, thousand six hundred and seventy. Dollars 1542 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,760 Speaker 1: this is a nine point. Five even though all these 1543 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:36,720 Speaker 1: teams individually have a good shot at winning, this it's 1544 01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:38,800 Speaker 1: a nine point five. Calls think about. It even if 1545 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:42,160 Speaker 1: they make their conference title, games they're really playing the 1546 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,200 Speaker 1: second best team in that. Conference it's no divisions. Anymore 1547 01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:50,559 Speaker 1: so Like oregon doesn't Play iowa or something like that 1548 01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,040 Speaker 1: just because The big Ten west is not. Good, no 1549 01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 1: they Play Ohio state, again or they Play michigan or 1550 01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 1: something like. That putting a nine point five on that 1551 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,280 Speaker 1: the call for management on air. Unbelievable next, up this 1552 01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:07,920 Speaker 1: one wasn't all that bold to. Me stefan From Hersheypa 1553 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,320 Speaker 1: Penn state misses the. Playoff oh, OH i didn't see 1554 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:16,040 Speaker 1: this parenthesis because Of James franklin's terrible. Coaching, okay, well 1555 01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,599 Speaker 1: if they go nine to, three that's not. Terrible it's 1556 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,479 Speaker 1: just not good. Enough this is not ten or trash. 1557 01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,719 Speaker 1: Mentality we don't practice that around. Here there is room 1558 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,439 Speaker 1: between being elite and being terrible where most of the country. 1559 01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,680 Speaker 1: Resides but this is an eight on the boldness scale for. 1560 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:37,920 Speaker 1: Me Penn state is one of seven teams with minus 1561 01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:41,599 Speaker 1: odds to make the, playoffs so they're technically favored quote 1562 01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 1: unquote to make the. Playoff they got a nine and 1563 01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 1: a half win. Total that's probably. It fanuel's probably doing 1564 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 1: the work for you. There if they hit the over 1565 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,200 Speaker 1: and their ten wins are, better they're probably in if 1566 01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,880 Speaker 1: they hit the under nine wins or, worse they're probably not. 1567 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,200 Speaker 1: In they'll probably be favored in eleven out of their twelve, 1568 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,240 Speaker 1: though so some upset have to be mixed in here or. 1569 01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,600 Speaker 1: There maybe some lines have to change between here and. 1570 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,640 Speaker 1: There But Penn state missing the, playoff it's not hard to. 1571 01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,760 Speaker 1: Envision having said, that penns they making the playoffs not 1572 01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:11,639 Speaker 1: hard to. Envision so it's right in an. Eight it's 1573 01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,799 Speaker 1: not all that. Bold it's an. Eight it's just a 1574 01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:20,759 Speaker 1: fairly solid bold.
