Speaker 1: Best Buying more, or just visit JLab dot com. Their
Speaker 1: price points really good. Hi everybody, it's time for a
Speaker 1: Saturday reaction. Yeah, I'm working Saturdays now. I'm a little
Speaker 1: scruffy today, as you can see. I was out working
Speaker 1: out today and watching the game first on my phone
Speaker 1: and then the last three quarters. I'm sitting at home
Speaker 1: and Alabama's Alabama. I mean, I'm Nick saban to Kaylin
Speaker 1: de Boor is going to one of the all time
Speaker 1: great pivots. And by the way, through the years, Ohio
Speaker 1: State's had some you know, great coach to great coach.
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's done it a few times, but even for the
Speaker 1: great programs like a Texas or a Michigan. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: have a great coach, then you give the job to
Speaker 1: his top assistant and it just doesn't go anywhere. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of that. I tend to be like,
Speaker 1: if you've created a legendary program, then you go, you know, Michigan,
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Oklahoma, USC Alabama certainly they're just too
Speaker 1: big to give to an assistant unless you have like
Speaker 1: a Steve Sarkesian, which Bama had for a brief time,
Speaker 1: but he went and took the Texas job. Right, So,
Speaker 1: Caitlin de Boorr is a phenomenal coach. He got Washington
Speaker 1: into a national championship game last year. Now, they had
Speaker 1: some really good offensive pieces, Michael Pennix, the receivers. They
Speaker 1: didn't have NFL bodies on defense. Think how many great
Speaker 1: college football programs there's one hundred and thirty one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty one. There's eight to ten stacked rosters every year,
Speaker 1: NFL bodies both sides. Washington didn't have that on the
Speaker 1: defensive side, and they played for a national championship and
Speaker 1: beat Texas badly in the semifinal game. So this guy
Speaker 1: is this guy is really really good. I think strategically
Speaker 1: in player development. He is everybody as good as Saban. Now,
Speaker 1: Saban may be a better recruiter. Nick's got a certain persona.
Speaker 1: You see it on game day. I mean, Nick's great,
Speaker 1: the all time best coach, but I think you could
Speaker 1: have a best coach ever into best coach in college
Speaker 1: football with Kayln Dabor. I think that highly of him.
Speaker 1: And Jalen Milroll is a fascinating player. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's an NFL prospect. Here's what I know.
Speaker 1: He throws the prettiest, most accurate deep ball more consistently
Speaker 1: than anybody right now in college football. And you know
Speaker 1: he's going to have you Ryan Williams on the other
Speaker 1: end of those things. So, but Bama Saban did something amazing,
Speaker 1: and Kaylan Borr, I'm sure i'll hit on it. Is
Speaker 1: that Nick did a really good job to pivot when
Speaker 1: defense was running the sport to offense. You know, Ohio
Speaker 1: State and Bama are wide receiver you right now, and
Speaker 1: Bama has always got guys on the other end can
Speaker 1: developed quarterbacks. Now they've won national titles with okay quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: But the game is becoming NFL college more quarterback centric,
Speaker 1: more offensive and Kaylin de Moore. I don't know what
Speaker 1: Jalen Milroll is as as a pro prospect. I know
Speaker 1: as a college quarterback, he is exactly what Alabama needs.
Speaker 1: He's athletic in the SEC. Can't be a sitting duck
Speaker 1: in the pocket. The kid can move around and he
Speaker 1: throws a gorgeous deep ball. It's so pretty. And this
Speaker 1: is a really good year for the SEC. In terms
Speaker 1: of quarterback play, I think the Big Ten stacked, but
Speaker 1: the quarterback play, you know, Michigan's going to be down
Speaker 1: at quarterback. I like Ohio State's quarterback, I like Oregon's,
Speaker 1: I like USC's. We'll wait to see on Washington to
Speaker 1: make a big judgment on them, but I think the
Speaker 1: SEC has got some really good quarterbacks and Jalen Milroll
Speaker 1: is one of those. You know, Wisconsin's in a really
Speaker 1: interesting spot, so I think the playoff is good for Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: I think they need it because I never saw them
Speaker 1: as a playoff team having to go through Ohio State, Michigan,
Speaker 1: and Penn State, which always just recruited better place players
Speaker 1: than Wisconsin. The state of Wisconsin doesn't have many Division
Speaker 1: one guys. I don't know how many you have on
Speaker 1: annual year ten twelve, maybe Washington State maybe has ten
Speaker 1: to twelve. You've got to get a great coach and
Speaker 1: have big boosters in this era to get to a
Speaker 1: four team playoff with Wisconsin or a Washington you know,
Speaker 1: level of in state recruiting. Now, Washington obviously has the
Speaker 1: advantage the proximity to California where they take half their
Speaker 1: class or more. So that's always boosted Washington significantly. But
Speaker 1: now Wisconsin. Now you add usc which has better players
Speaker 1: than Wisconsin. They play, that's the next game the Badgers
Speaker 1: play in a couple of weeks. And now you add
Speaker 1: ore agaon which because of Phil Knight, is infused with
Speaker 1: huge nil money, top five nil money in college football.
Speaker 1: So now Oregon gets better players than Wisconsin and Penn
Speaker 1: State and Michigan and Ohio State on an annual basis,
Speaker 1: you know, whereas Wisconsin's going to sort of recruit in
Speaker 1: the Washington level. So then you get down to having
Speaker 1: the six or the seventh best roster on an annual basis.
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be, and I mean I
Speaker 1: truly believe. I had this conversation with somebody at the
Speaker 1: gym today that Notre Dame eventually, over the course of time,
Speaker 1: will join the Big Ten. I think the ACC is
Speaker 1: gonna unravel. I think Florida State, Clemson, you know they're
Speaker 1: gonna head to the SEC. My guess is over time
Speaker 1: in Notre Dame. Academically, it's a good fit with a
Speaker 1: Big Ten. There's a lot of money in the Big Ten.
Speaker 1: I think they liked the Big Ten. Stanford thinks the
Speaker 1: Big Ten wants them. But what the Big Ten wants
Speaker 1: is Stanford level academics Notre Dame. But they want the
Speaker 1: football program and the identity and the marketing of Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: So could that's not gonna help Wisconsin. So Wisconsin's in
Speaker 1: a tough spot. And you saw it today. There was
Speaker 1: two moments in this game that really defined Wisconsin. In
Speaker 1: Alabama end of the first half, Alabama has no time
Speaker 1: in the clock. Boom boom, boom, touchdown, three big plays touchdown.
Speaker 1: Because they have so many playmakers, they're an elite recruiting school.
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's most impressive drive was the seventeen play drive. And
Speaker 1: that's how Wisconsin doesn't have layer after layer of wide
Speaker 1: receiver running back talent, so they have to just pound
Speaker 1: on you and lean on you. And a seventeen play
Speaker 1: try is great, but a seventeen play drive, how many
Speaker 1: times a game can you do it? How many times
Speaker 1: a year can you do it? You're going to have penalties.
Speaker 1: You know you're going to have fumbles. You want to
Speaker 1: be able at college and pro football to score multitude
Speaker 1: of ways. You want to be able to have a
Speaker 1: run game. You want to be situationally smart. You want
Speaker 1: to be able to go over the top. And that's
Speaker 1: what the top programs in the country can do, the
Speaker 1: top seven eight nine programs can do because they have
Speaker 1: multiple playmakers. You know, they've got NFL bodies both sides.
Speaker 1: They've got I mean like Wisconsin may have at any
Speaker 1: one time a really good running back and a strong
Speaker 1: tight end. Okay, maybe one great receiver, your rollover cover,
Speaker 1: it's taken out of the game. So Alabama's ability to
Speaker 1: strike at the end of the first half, that's Alabama.
Speaker 1: That's Georgia, that's Texas. That's what the top teams can do.
Speaker 1: That's Ohio State. Wisconsin doesn't have that kind of personnel,
Speaker 1: so they got to grind stuff out. And I think
Speaker 1: you ask a lot of a program when you have
Speaker 1: to score on long drive after long drive after long drive.
Speaker 1: So this game was you know, now Georgia is Alabama's
Speaker 1: next game. That's Alabama a couple of weeks to prepare
Speaker 1: play in Georgia. That's gonna be a good football game.
Speaker 1: That's a top three or four football game of the year.
Speaker 1: Georgia plays Texas later, they play Alabama early, so Georgia
Speaker 1: is going to earn their way into that playoff. They
Speaker 1: could split those games on FS one. I have my
Speaker 1: big ten bets of the week. I really like the
Speaker 1: over in Bama Wisconsin today, and it hit. I think
Speaker 1: in the third quarter it hit. But I think I
Speaker 1: think Wisconsin's always been a really proud program, great fans,
Speaker 1: amazing support, tremendous athletic department, and Luke Fickel is more
Speaker 1: than capable of winning nine ten games a year. But boy,
Speaker 1: you put them up even at home against an Alabama,
Speaker 1: it's a big gap, and I think you're going to
Speaker 1: see a gap like that, maybe not as great, but
Speaker 1: you're going to see a gap against USC and Ohio State.
Speaker 1: I think Penn State's got really really good defensive talent.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to move the off of Wisconsin
Speaker 1: against the Nidney Allons. So that's what we got today
Speaker 1: on Saturday. I'm gonna try to on most weekends give
Speaker 1: you a little updates and thoughts on what we're seeing.
Speaker 1: I know I'm a little scruffy today. Hey, you're tossing
Speaker 1: around iron. You know you're throwing weights all over the gym.
