1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: On today's episode, a full fledged preview of the upcoming

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: SEC schedule. Welcome to the solid verbal hell that for me,

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm a man, I'm forty.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 2: be happy. You want to be happy for Dake Edith state.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Is that whoo whoo? And no, Dan and Tie, welcome

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: back to the Celibrubber boys and girls. My name is

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Ty Hildenbrandt. As always that fine gentleman over there, you know, well,

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: his name is Dan Rubinstein. Sarah welcome, Welcome to our

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: first schedule preview for the twenty three season. How you doing.

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: It's a nice little signifier, Tie, right, that it's almost summerish,

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 3: and summerish means where we turn our gaze forward and

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: we've been doing like bigger picture shows with eightish win

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: Tennis win. We've been doing sort of deep dives on

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: you know, the year one debrief, but that's sort of

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: us floating around in information to just try to it

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: all out. But now, right as I just said, we're

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: adjusting our gaze forward and it feels like the first

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: right of.

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: The season is that. Does that make any sense?

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: Totally?

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: I'm excited for this look I'm so excited. My voice

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 3: is starting to go, so my body is overwhelmed.

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: That's what I'm telling you.

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Very excited to be with you all today. It is

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: sort of the preview to the preview. We're going to

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: be talking about schedules. Are not necessarily talking about over

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: unders or team expectations that type of thing, though some

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: of the conversation may lead there. Today it is s

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: E C. All things SEC scheduling. We're going to break

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: down the toughest schedules, the easiest schedules, the craziest stretches,

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: the teams that have traps, the teams that are gumpy,

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: will explain what that means, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

34
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,840

Speaker 1: and I do on a weekly and ongoing and continuous basis,

44
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: because college football never ever sleeps, sir, never ever sleeps.

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: This is it's sort of an accomplishment sound from techmos

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: super Bowl. You made the playoffs, and so this we're

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: going to repurpose as we made it to this point

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: of the calendar, and I'm I'm pretty happy about that accomplishment.

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: I am as well. So, Look, schedules are out now,

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: and when totals are out, we are beginning the slow

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: climb up the hill, slash down the hill into the

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season, and where we started last year

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: and many years prior is by looking at the schedule

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: and at least setting the stage here for what appears

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: to be. Look, it's the SEC. It's gonna be an

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: awesome season, and there are a number of non conference

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: games that we'll get into and talk about what the

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: ramifications are. Will obviously drizzle in win totals because I

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: think that as important context. But as you look across

60
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: the board here, I recall last year when we looked

61
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: at the Big twelve schedule. I recall even moments where

62
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: we looked at the Pac twelve and Big ten schedules

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: from a year ago where we said, Wow, this really

64
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: figures to be like kind of a crazy season, right Like,

65
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: we understand that we're going to get into week ten

66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: and things are going to feel like they're coming off

67
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: the swivel a little bit. And as I looked across

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: the SEC schedule this year, there are certainly moments of

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: that for teams that we can get into where it

70
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: feels like, Okay, if something's going to go south, this

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: is when it's going to happen. But on the whole,

72
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: I was really hardened by what I saw. You've got

73
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: teams like Alabama that are playing really tough non conference opponents,

74
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: LSU playing really tough non conference opponents, even weird games

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: like Miszoo Has I think Kansas State. There are some

76
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: interesting non conference that's fun man that they're just some

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: really interesting non conference opponents. And I think often the

78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: SEC gets a bad rap. You hear people talk about

79
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: it out on Twitter about I don't play anybody, or

80
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: they're playing Wafford or Samson or whoever. But there are

81
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: a lot of good non conference opponents on here that

82
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: I think will give the SEC a chance to.

83
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: Shine yeah, Miszoo playing Kansas State, by the way, is

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: sort of the La Gear border war, right where it's

85
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: not the full pump. You're like, look, Rebock pumps are

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: the full pumps?

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Alle Gear.

88
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: Yes, you made pumps, but it's not the real pump.

89
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: Listen as a proud owner of La Gear pumps. I'm

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: I'm fine with it, but there is something that's a

91
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: little bit off about those two teams. Look, I celebrate

92
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna watch that game.

93
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: I have a.

94
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: Request for you, so we're please. We're talking gumpiness, which

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: we can explain.

96
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: I think you. I believe you have a sound.

97
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: Much to drag me about fifteen to oct pemph.

98
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

99
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: The best way I can define umpiness is the team

100
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: that keeps finding itself in interesting situations, high profile situations

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: like Forrest Gump at various points of history with various

102
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: historical figures, and the team that finds itself sandwiched between

103
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: other big games or in a letdown spot or a

104
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: week before a buy where a team might be looking

105
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 3: ahead to that buy, something like that, where the team

106
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: just finds itself in a certain place. I have another introduction.

107
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: I have a thing I want to introduce that is

108
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: even stupider, oh beautiful than that. I want us to

109
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: identify the stretches that are especially tenuous for each team,

110
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: and those are going to be our Feticini Alfredo moments

111
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: to carbo load.

112
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: A'llah, Michael Scott.

113
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 5: I ate more Fetichini Alfredo and drank less water than

114
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 5: I have in my entire life.

115
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: If I'm in a down place and I think about

116
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: that specific moment on the office, it is an almost

117
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 3: guarantee to flip my mood. Michael Scott just demolishing Fetichini

118
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: Alfredo before running a five K.

119
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm down for that. Where do you want to start here?

120
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: Should we start with a defending champion Georgia Bulldogs?

121
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 2: I say yes.

122
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: George's over unders eleven and a half wins. One of

123
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: the categories that you and I called out here when

124
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: we were trying to put all this together is which

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: SEC team, which any conference team, as we go through

126
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: all of them, has the easiest schedule. You can make

127
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: a really strong case that the defending back to back

128
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: national champions have the easiest schedule. They will face Naria

129
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: challenge Dan in the first eight weeks of the season.

130
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: As I read through this thing, I kept waiting for

131
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: it to get harder, and it's kind of amazing because

132
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: it never really does, not when you're starting from a

133
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: point like where Georgia is starting from, where they've got

134
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: all the talent in the world. Of course, there's some turnover,

135
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: new quarterback, there are things that Kirby Smart needs to address.

136
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: But beyond that, beyond sort of that high level vantage

137
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: point on this looks easy in Georgia terms. You've got

138
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: obviously the Florida game that's a neutral cider in week

139
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: nine in Jacksonville against Florida. You've got Missoo at home.

140
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: You've got Old Miss on the road, You've got Tennessee

141
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: on the road in week twelve, which is probably the

142
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: toughest game on this thing, and then they close out

143
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: with clean, old fashioned hate another rivalry game against Georgia Tech,

144
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: but no real traps that jump out to me, and

145
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: I think a really good way to start this season

146
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: at home against UT Martin and ball State, to break

147
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: in a new quarterback, to work out any kinks that

148
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: they might have from some of the turnover that they've

149
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: had to endure. This seems like another really good set

150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: up here for the Georgia Bulldogs to make another run

151
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: this thing.

152
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a sort of capital I capital if right, Like,

153
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: if Auburn is pretty good, okay, then that that changes

154
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: the ten the tenor of what we think this schedule

155
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: looks like. Right if Florida is pretty good, they both

156
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: get to buy you know, it's hard to construct that,

157
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: you know, competence scaffolding right now for Florida's offense, we'll

158
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: see missoo they're not going to probably struggle with because

159
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: that's an ath this year. Tennessee, as you mentioned, is

160
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: the big you know, the circled game Ole miss is interesting,

161
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: but right now it's it's difficult to find the exact

162
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: scenario unless somebody is just over the top better then

163
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: I'll speak for myself, like, if South Carolina continues that momentum,

164
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: it'd be saucier. If that game we're in Columbia, it

165
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: certainly would be that would be the game I would circle,

166
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: given relatively recent history between those two programs. But right now, no,

167
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: this is this is all on Georgia. This is there's

168
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: very little out you know, outside external noise that is

169
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 3: affecting my pick to go over the eleven and a

170
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: half pick right now, just because you know, two games in,

171
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: three games in and we see that the offense isn't humming,

172
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: quarterback isn't working out whatever. All right, that's a different story.

173
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: But until we get to that point, I can in

174
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: good conscious take the under unless something to turns out

175
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: to be different than I perceive it to be in

176
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: this moment.

177
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they basically have seven weeks to get

178
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback thing figured out, right. They have seven weeks

179
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: to get it figured out before they go on by

180
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: and then they play Florida Zoo, Ol, Miss Tennessee, Georgia

181
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: Tech close out the season. That should be more than

182
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: sufficient for Kirby Smart.

183
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: So what's the scariest moment before the bye in those

184
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: first seven weeks.

185
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: Scariest moment before the bye probably early at home against

186
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Okay, because South Carolina feels like the ultimate wildcard.

187
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: We'll talk about them here Momentarily. South Carolina feels like

188
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: a big time wildcard to be I'm not so concerned

189
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: about Auburn. I know that's a rivalry game, but Auburn,

190
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: I think is going to need more time to get

191
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: their roster figured out. I thought about Kentucky as well.

192
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: We can talk about Kentucky. A lot of new at

193
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Kentucky that gives me cause for pause or favor. Maybe

194
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: good new, right, good new. But if you're Georgia, Fanny

195
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: gotta feelretty good about this.

196
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: I think South Carolina just because that'll be the first

197
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: time presumably Carson is going to see a full speed defense,

198
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: even though it's at home, which is nice, but that's

199
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: the first time. Really the weight of expectations, especially if

200
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: he is sort of up and down early on. Who knows,

201
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: but I think it's South Carolina that first moment. Though

202
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: again at Auburn a lot new I'm not crazy about.

203
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: I still wouldn't put money on the Tigers at this point,

204
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: but I think those are the trip up spots.

205
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: Obviously Georgia's rival. One of Georgie's rival, Florida are Florida

206
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Bulldogs Florida Gators. Excuse me, you're okay? Over under is

207
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: five and a half. That raised eyebrows. Vegas is not

208
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: giving the Florida Gators any benefit of the doubt here.

209
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: The schedule is one of the oddest things I think

210
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: I've come across. It's not quite gumpy from the standpoint

211
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: of Texas Tech last year being gumpy, catching all of

212
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: their opponents in weird situations. Every odd numbered week, Florida

213
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: has a tough football game. Week one on the road

214
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: at Utah. Two weeks later it's home against Tennessee. Two

215
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: weeks later it's at Kentucky, which I think with where

216
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: Florida's at will be a pretty difficult game. Two weeks

217
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: later at South Carolina that could obviously be tricky. Two

218
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: weeks later it's Georgia the neutral sider. Two weeks later

219
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: at LSU. Two weeks later they close out the year

220
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: with freaking Florida State. So not only is it a

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: very very difficult schedule, but there really isn't a long

222
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: stretch where they could get themselves together. They go right

223
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: from Utah down to McNee State, but then back to Tennessee,

224
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: down to Charlotte, on the road at Kentucky Vandy in

225
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: between going to South Carolina before bye week. It's a

226
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: very very complex schedule. There are a couple other teams

227
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: across the SEC that have a similar setup. This to

228
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: me is like I couldn't figure out if this is

229
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: a good thing or a bad thing. If you're a

230
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: Florida fan, obviously you want more easy games that means

231
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: more wins. But I totally get the five and a

232
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: half over under after looking at this thing. They've also

233
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: got Arkansas in a bit of a letdown look ahead

234
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: sandwich between Georgia and LSU, two teams that could definitely

235
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: be contenders.

236
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 2: And that's Arkansas coming off of bye.

237
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: To be clear, Arkansas coming off of bye. Absolutely, so

238
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: this thing, this thing is chock full of land mines

239
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: for the Gators, and I'm still inclined to say over.

240
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: I know this isn't the over undershow Florida as the

241
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: SEC oddball in the most literal sense because of the

242
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: way the schedule sets up is not something I had

243
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: initially thought of before I looked at the schedule.

244
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: So here's the good news.

245
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: Cam Raising might not be playing in that game he

246
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: towards ACL against Penn State. I don't know the status

247
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: of his rehabilitation, and even if he's playing, that would

248
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 3: be that's game number one for came Raising coming off

249
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: of torn ACL. The bad news is it's at Utah,

250
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: it's in Salt Lake City, it's at altitude. You know

251
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: how I feel about that. I don't expect you to

252
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: have your you know, hawk soaring sound right now at

253
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: the ready. Maybe you do, maybe you don't, as I

254
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: buy time, but you know, it's still tricky, it's still difficult.

255
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: It's still a Utah defense. You're right about the what

256
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call treacherous lily pads as they try to

257
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: hop over. So maybe some snapping turtles or something along

258
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: the way.

259
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: It's it's not great.

260
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: If you're going to construct six wins for me on

261
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 3: this schedule, I'm going to slide into injured came raising.

262
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: Utah has one, maybe McNee is two, Charlotte is three.

263
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: Fandy at home they recently lost a Vandy, but I'll

264
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: give us them at home. That's a loser four, right,

265
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 3: that's four. If you want to say at Miszoo, if

266
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 3: they're a bit discompopulated, that's five. And that's sandwich between

267
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: as you mentioned at LSU and Florida State, that's five.

268
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,119
Speaker 1: And then by the way, oh yeah, got that sandwich.

269
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm so hungry. I'm so hungry. Oh boy, I was

270
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: delinquent in my duties in not playing that sound. I

271
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: do have altitude sound, by the way, in.

272
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Case, oh oh that's good too.

273
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: Thank you. You're welcome.

274
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: So if we're gonna say, if they get more than

275
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: we think out of quarterback grammarts or whoever, if they

276
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: get more than we think, if they get B plus

277
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: quarterback play and the offense is more cohesive and the

278
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: running game is where it showed itself to be last year,

279
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: even with some new offensive linemen, what does that change

280
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: for you? Like, what does it swing on right the

281
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: over under? Is there a specific game that you've circled

282
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: on this Florida schedule like they're going over If quarterback

283
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: play is pretty good in the offense as a B plus,

284
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: that means they can beat Kentucky, they can beat South Carolina. Like,

285
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: what is that fifty to fifty game to you a

286
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: couple months out of the season.

287
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: I think it might be Arkansas just because because of

288
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: the way that game sets up. Yeah, because it's in

289
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: between Georgia and LSU, That to me is a really

290
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: really tender spot in this schedule. And you're right to

291
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: mention Miszoo also sandwiched between LSU and Florida State, two

292
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: really tough opponents that you know Florida is going to

293
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: be looking forward to playing both. That stretch to me

294
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: is probably one of the weirdest stretches.

295
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: You know.

296
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: One of the things we want to identify here is

297
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: odd stretches as well. After Florida goes and buy in

298
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: week eight, when they close out their season Georgia Arkansas

299
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: at LSU at Missoo, Florida State, that's where we're going

300
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: to find out what this team's made of. It's significantly

301
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: easier before that point in the season. And so I

302
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: think maybe we get to Arkansas and it's still an

303
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: open question.

304
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. And also let's just be clear. Look last year

305
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: they have.

306
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: An NFL starting quarterback and Anthony Richardson who obviously physically

307
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: more talented than maybe anybody in the country. But even

308
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: a down Florida team gave Tennessee all it could handle

309
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: on the road. Right now, they have the balls at home, yep.

310
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: And so I just assume, because Florida has had kind

311
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: of a weird offseason, though, I just assume in year

312
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: two things will be more cohesive in terms of Billion

313
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: Napier's vision.

314
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: They were all over the place last year. Oh yeah, totally.

315
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: So I think there is part of me, even though

316
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: there is a ton of reason for concern with Florida,

317
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: there is part of me that says the culture should

318
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: be more intact hypothetically and by the time they get

319
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 3: to the bye week, they'll have a better sense of themselves.

320
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: And even if you know they lose to Georgia by

321
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: two or three touchdowns or something, this is an Arkansas

322
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: team that had a pretty bad defense. This is an

323
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: LSU team that Florida always seems to compete with well

324
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: or not. Miszoo could have a terrible offense this year

325
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: and Florida State, even when Florida State is good and

326
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: Florida is down, Florida somehow makes that a game at

327
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: the very least. So if Billy Napier is able to

328
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 3: win those fifty to fifty types, we might be talking

329
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: about eight and four, nine and three Florida because that

330
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: defense could be that good in that fast if everything,

331
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: if everything breaks, I think it's Austin Armstrong as the

332
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: name of the new DC. I'm not ready to like

333
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: just sort of guess on Florida because I doubt them.

334
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: I can absolutely see this going comfortably over.

335
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: So cold so could I and I still think I'm

336
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: inclined to go over. But I get I get the

337
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: line a little bit more after studying the schedule. It

338
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: is one of the tougher schedules in the SEC. It

339
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: is also very odd for the reasons I described earlier.

340
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: Did you take the over under with Georgia?

341
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: By the way, I would be inclined to go over.

342
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: This is not the over under show.

343
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: I just have that.

344
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: I have it listed here. I haven't listed on my documents,

345
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: so that's why I asked.

346
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: But look, looking at this, I'd be inclined to go over.

347
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: I want to do a little bit more of a

348
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: deep dive. Okay, before I get out my picks, I've

349
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: be inclined to go over though.

350
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: Feels like so that'll happen during preview time, will make

351
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: our over under picks?

352
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: I think closer to that.

353
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

354
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: Great, When we have a little bit more information, where

355
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: do you want to go next? Dan? What team interests

356
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: you next?

357
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: Let's go to Alabama, Let's go out west. Let's go actually, no,

358
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: LSU on the west, LSU on the West.

359
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to your guy, Brian m I guy, Brian Kelly.

360
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: How dare you?

361
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

362
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: First off, LSU Florida State is an absolute weak one banger. Yeah,

363
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: I am fired up for that game. I saw the

364
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: early line is Florida State favored by one. That will

365
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: probably change a handful of times by the time people

366
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: listen to this, certainly by the time the game rolls

367
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: around first week of the season. But absolute banger. That

368
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: is a neutral site game. They're playing it in Orlando.

369
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: LSU will travel obviously, Florida State will travel as well.

370
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: Great atmosphere for a game. Here's the weird thing about

371
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: LSU schedule. LSU's over under his nine and a half

372
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: this year, which makes sense. A lot of good teams

373
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: on here. They've got the Florida State game to start

374
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: things off. They're also on the road at Bama in

375
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: week ten. Weirdly, it does not feel like it's that

376
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: tough of a schedule. To me, going to Bama is

377
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: going to be tough. You're not going to be in

378
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: the SEC West and come out of this thing without

379
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: a tough road game. You're not going to go the

380
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: full season without having a scare one or two times

381
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: from a team that you wouldn't expect to give you

382
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: a scare. But I look at this thing and I say,

383
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: the true road games outside of the neutral cider against

384
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: Florida State are Mississippi State, Ole Miss and MISSOI if

385
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: everything else is at home, and you've got non con

386
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: opponents like Grambling An Army and Georgia State, I feel

387
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: pretty good about their chances here. Dan. It gets significantly

388
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: tougher in the month of November. We'll know a lot

389
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: more by December, I promise you. In November, it's Alabama, Florida,

390
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: Georgia State, whatever.

391
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: Close out at Alabama, to be clear, that.

392
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: At Alabama, and then close out the year against Texas

393
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: A and A M. So that that's where the rubber

394
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: meets the road. That's where we're really going to find

395
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: out what else he's made of deep into the season.

396
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: But beyond that, this to me feels like a really

397
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: nice setup to take another run at this thing.

398
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: I think so at Mississippi State is a bit of

399
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: a wild card, just because we don't know what to

400
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 3: expect out of Zach Arnett's program, what the offense is

401
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: going to look like. We kind of a concept of

402
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: what the defense is going to look like. But you know,

403
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: that's a wildcard just because that is always a tough

404
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 3: road environment. Ole Missus defense is not putting the fear

405
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: of life, the fear of death in me at this

406
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: moment at Missoo doesn't scare me terribly. No, you're right

407
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: that the first part of this schedule after Florida State.

408
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's easy. That Arkansas game was weird

409
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: and ugly and very losable last year, again on the

410
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: icy turf, the icy field.

411
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: I love this schedule.

412
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: I love this schedule for them with what they're returning

413
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: and a coach that I just can depend on. My

414
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: question to you, because I think it's still relevant. Did

415
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: you always feel great about Notre Dame in Week one

416
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: and some some of those bigger Week one matchups to

417
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: Brian Kelly have Notre Dame ready Last year he didn't

418
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: because of the special team's miscues. I think they had

419
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: like a like a two and a half quarter scare

420
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: against Louisville way back when maybe a puma pass game

421
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: something like that. That's a non sample size, but you know,

422
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 3: Week one in Orlando you should get it'll be more

423
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: Florida State probably. I feel really good about that being

424
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: an incredible game, And right now I think i'd lean

425
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: Florida State just because of the home field and you know,

426
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: the chaos of Week one. But I think Elsie's gonna

427
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 3: be better than they were last year. So I'm not confident

428
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: in that pick.

429
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: No, I'm not confident in that pick at all. And

430
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: I do think though I'll reiterate it. No, I think

431
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: Elsie's in a really good spot with the schedule schedules right,

432
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: It sets up about as well as you could expect

433
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: if you want to try and repeat on that side

434
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 1: of the conference. So I like it. I like it

435
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: three or two, and Brian Kelly, they will be better.

436
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: They've got to get through Florida State week one, but

437
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: if they do, it's pretty much smooth sailing. Now, I

438
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: say pretty much, because you always have land mines in

439
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: the sec that three out of four weeks on the road,

440
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: three out of four weeks series, say, that's the Fetichini

441
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: Alfredo moment to make.

442
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 5: I ate more Fetichinie Alfredo and drink less water than

443
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 5: I have in my entire life.

444
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 3: That you just have to make sure you're everything is

445
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: all right in your stomach, that you have the stomach

446
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: to go through that stretch, even though it's just a five.

447
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: Hey, ty, yeah, I think it's treacherous.

448
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: Still. All right, let's go over to Alabama. Now, Okay,

449
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: Alabama's over unders ten and a half this year. It

450
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: is undeniably one of the toughest schedules in the SEC.

451
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: It's spaced out fairly well. They are good buffers, got

452
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: some good buffers in there. I think the Texas game

453
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: in Week two could be a really good game. The

454
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: early line has Bama favored by seven at home, which

455
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: makes sense. I could see that one going up the

456
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: closer we get to kick off. But what I like

457
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: about this schedule for Alabama, despite the fact that they

458
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: play really good teams, is that most of the tough

459
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: games are at home. Most of them are at home. Texas, Tennessee,

460
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: and LSU. Those are tough opponents. All those games are

461
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: at home. A and M's on the road. That'll be

462
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: a challenge. Auburn's on the road obviously a rivalry, though

463
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: they don't scare me as much because they're kind of

464
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: starting over this year. But I like that setup, at

465
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: least for Bama. I did see some commentary this week,

466
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: and I think it was from our friends Josh Pate

467
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: who pushed back on the notion that there's anything to

468
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: worry about with Bama, especially given the fact that the

469
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: over under is ten and a half. I respect that viewpoint, sure,

470
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: but to paraphrase the wise profit eminem, he don't know

471
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: Tommy Reese and Tyler Buckner the way I do, Slim.

472
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: You don't know these two guys the way I know

473
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 1: them after watching the last couple of years, and so

474
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: that concerns me about Alabama. I get it, they're going

475
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: to have a ton of talent. I get it. You

476
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: can't really get that worried about Bama in its present

477
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: state under Nick Saban. They're in a really good spot.

478
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: They have talent in more places than any other team

479
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: maybe outside of Georgia and Ohio State. It's kind of comical,

480
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: but we've seen it happen before if you put the

481
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: wrong guy at quarterback, or if you've got a system

482
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: on offense that's out of sync going up against a

483
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: good offense or a good defense, or a team that's

484
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: maybe more together early in the season. Texas Texas A

485
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: and Texas A and M. Can't say Texas A and

486
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: M for that one, but you get my point. Anything's possible,

487
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: especially in the early weeks of college football. And if

488
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: Tyler Buckner is the guy I feel confident in the

489
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: under for Alabama. I am still not sold on Tommy Reese.

490
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: I've never really been.

491
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 3: You constantly, You constantly are making reference to, but not

492
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 3: specifically saying, the Golden infection.

493
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: Well, tomorrow you'll barely be able to breathe.

494
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: The Tommy Rees Tyler Buckner golden infection of Alabama continue.

495
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I think we should consider the

496
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: ramifications of that tandem for Alabama. That, of course, is

497
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: not the same conversation as the schedule. From a scheduling standpoint,

498
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot to like here, despite the fact that

499
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: I believe it's probably the toughest schedule in the SEC,

500
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: but Alabama will be fine. There's a reason the over

501
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: unders ten and a half. It's just does this schedule

502
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: scare you enough, Dan into a totally separate from the

503
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: conversation about offense and who's playing quarterback and that whole rigamarole.

504
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: Does the schedule sway you in one direction or the other?

505
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: Yes, I think so. I think I would take the under.

506
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 3: I think I see them going ten and two, just

507
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 3: because look, I'm not sold on any one of these

508
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: specific teams, but having A and M after the Mississippi

509
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 3: schools on the road at Kyle Field, Arkansas, Tennessee. I'm

510
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 3: not crazy scared of Arkansas in this moment in that

511
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: matchup because it's at home in Tuscaloosa. But look, if

512
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: Tennessee is just firing with Joe Milton, if LSU is great,

513
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: and that game is in Tuscaloosa one more time. So

514
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 3: like they lose those two games last year, both on

515
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 3: the road, both tight, they are like forty five seconds

516
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: in a gust of wind from being undefeated last year.

517
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: So I recognize that. But Bryce Youngin isn't walking through

518
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: that door, as you mentioned. So not terribly worried about

519
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: Kentucky or Chattanooga, not terribly worried about Auburn on the road.

520
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: But Iron Bowl always seems to be closer. You always

521
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: got to throw the records out.

522
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: Tie always got to throw the records out.

523
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 3: I always got to throw them out. So I just

524
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: think it's it's just too filled with danger right now,

525
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: and there's too much uncertainty on offense at quarterback right now.

526
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 3: That has me a little bit a little bit concerned. Ty.

527
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm not there with Alabama right now. I think they're

528
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: going to be really good.

529
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: But in terms of combining quarterback and schedule, you know

530
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: that it's the old made up phrase you are until

531
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: you aren't, and so Alabama is Alabama until they're not.

532
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: And I just you throw in that golden infection. I'm

533
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 3: not there.

534
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm just not there right now.

535
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: If Bucker's the guy, I'm a definite under. By the way, Okay, Stey,

536
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: I definite under.

537
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: Fair enough.

538
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: Which of the remaining schedules are many? Did you find

539
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: most intriguing?

540
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: Missou's is interesting, although I don't know if Missoo itself

541
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: is super interesting just because they're my gumpy team.

542
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 4: May about fifteen to Octo Pampas Missoo's.

543
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: Over under six and a half over unders. Ultimately come

544
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: down to belief, and do you believe in the team

545
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: and the roster and the coaches, and you believe what

546
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: they can do against the schedule. To that end, this

547
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: schedule is screaming infidelities to me, is screaming it is.

548
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: I can believe in four wings the Zoo cheating on

549
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, I could. They're cheating on me. I

550
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: could get behind four, five, maybe six wins if you

551
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: get a couple of drinks in me seven wins? Are

552
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: you kidding me? No chance? Not against this? Why is

553
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: Missoo gumpy to you?

554
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: Was that a very low key subtle drinkut's reference getting

555
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: some drinks in you?

556
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: Maybe?

557
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: Okay? Maybe okay?

558
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: So Missoo this year, so they have Vandy between when

559
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: Vandy plays Kentucky and they're at Florida. So they're sort

560
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: of sandwiched in there because Kentucky is hypothetically a winnable

561
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: moment for the Doors. This year, they have LSU after

562
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 3: LSU is at Ole miss and before they play Auburn

563
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 3: they are playing Kentucky. After Kentucky, it's Florida, and before

564
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 3: they're at Georgia. They have South Carolina between Florida and

565
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: when the game Talcks go to Texas A and M.

566
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: They have Georgia after Florida after Georgia has Florida Tennessee

567
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: after the Balls have Miszoo before Georgia, Florida before they

568
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: travel to LSU. Excuse me, after they travel to LSU,

569
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 3: before they travel to Florida State. Miszoo is just sandwiched

570
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: in there. They're just cold cuts this year cold cuts.

571
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 3: They are the boars head, the boar's head.

572
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: This is a tough schedule though for Miszoo. Yeah, it's

573
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: going to be tough to navigate this. We had this

574
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: conversation a lot last year we talked about Texas Tech,

575
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: and I do think there were moments where it did

576
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: work to their advantage, certainly from a betting standpoint, but

577
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: in terms of actually winning games, this is going to

578
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: be a pivol year for Eli drink Woodz. He's got

579
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: to get that offense figured out, and you know they're

580
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: trying to do so. They bring in a new offensive coordinator.

581
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: There is some conversation around who the opening day starter

582
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: will be. I don't think fans want to hear more

583
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: from Brady Cook. Everyone's ready to move on in that sense, right,

584
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: But it could be Eli Drinkwotz kind of gave him

585
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: his vote of vote of confidence here and after spring.

586
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: There's just so much that they got to sort out

587
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball, and they don't

588
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of time to do it. Week

589
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: one against South Dakota. Sure they can probably win that game,

590
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: but I do think we can have a conversation about

591
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee and Memphis being better, not necessarily pushovers. Kansas State,

592
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: we know was in a pushover. They won the Dan

593
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: Division conference last year. Did they twelve and then as

594
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: they crack into the SEC slate here they might be gumpy,

595
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: but there are some tough road games.

596
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: Take a bunch of unders with Miszoo, right, they might

597
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: just be the like whoopee cushion of the conference that

598
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: just sliding in and making things uncomfortable. Sliding in and

599
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: making things uncomfortable. They hit the Miszoo games last season,

600
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: hit the over thirty percent of the time. They were

601
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 3: one of the more dependable under bets last year just

602
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 3: in terms of scoring points obviously not over under win totals.

603
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: So I Missoo's gonna be interesting. They are going to

604
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: be They're going to be a team throughout the season

605
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: and be like, I know, they seem like they are

606
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 3: not going to compete with blobbity blah. But this is

607
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: a moment where like last year we saw with Georgia,

608
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 3: and that's one game that was you know, that was

609
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 3: relatively early on in the season, but the schedule as

610
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: such where it might be easy for teams to overlook

611
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: Maszoo at their own peril.

612
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's sort of Eli Drinquentz's m isn't it.

613
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: He's a fiery guy. He's able to get guys playing

614
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: for him. So my gumpy team, by the way.

615
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 4: I'm must to dragon me about fifteen to oct.

616
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: De Pampers Kentucky Wildcats.

617
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 5: HM.

618
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: Kentucky's schedule this year is tailor made to break in

619
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: a new quarterback, to reintroduce a new old coordinator in

620
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen, to go into battle with a lousy offensive

621
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: line that returns four guys from last season. When you

622
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: start your season ball State Eastern Kentucky Akron and at Vandy.

623
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: Pretty nice.

624
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: Kentucky's back, Baby, they're back. They're four to o. They're

625
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: four and oh, you're feeling good if you're a Kentucky

626
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: Wildcat fan. But then you keep reading it and it

627
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: starts to look a little bit more like they got

628
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: duped into agreeing to this in the first place. There's

629
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of an acc grant of rights feel

630
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: to this where it's like, wait, they're they're cool with this.

631
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: You look into this a little bit deeper. You've got

632
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: Florida then on the road against Georgia back to back.

633
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: You've got a closing stretch of Tennessee at Mississippi State

634
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: home against Bama at South Carolina at Louisville for the

635
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: Governor's Cup. That is a tough stretch, but it is

636
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: noting worth noting. Excuse me that Kentucky is kind of

637
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: gumpy maybe be Leary of Devin Leary. Oh Man, you

638
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: don't want to be foregoing Liam Cohne.

639
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: You want to end up in the cone zone. Yeah.

640
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: They get Georgia after Georgia play's Auburn rivalry. They get

641
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: missisz Urry after Missouri plays LSU Tennessee after Tennessee has

642
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: its big rematch with BAMA Mississippi State a week before

643
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 1: they play A and M Bama a week after they

644
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: play LSU South Carolina a week before South Carolina plays Clemson. Yeah,

645
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: So at least on that side of things, I would

646
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: probably give the nod to Kentucky in terms of gumpaness.

647
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: They have interesting situations, albeit a very difficult schedule the

648
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: remaining eight nine weeks of the year.

649
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's easier in the SEC and somewhat in

650
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 3: the Big Twelve. I would say to find gumpiness because

651
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: the floor is pretty high within the conference. You talk

652
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: about the start of Kentucky season and you penciled in

653
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 3: the win against Vandy. They almost beat Vandy last year. Ty,

654
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: So I don't necessarily pencil it in because that game's

655
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: in Nashville this year. I believe so Kentucky is trying

656
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: to improve things and Mark Stoops is absolutely a winning

657
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: coach and has led Kentucky teams who have been doubted

658
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 3: to eight nine ten wins. I'm just not penciling at

659
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 3: anything right now with Kentucky, just based on where they

660
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: struggled last year, getting absolutely annihilated by Tennessee the way

661
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: that they did. It's it's a sort of wait and

662
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: see for me with Kentucky because, yeah, as you met, like,

663
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: everything can be gumpy, right, Big twelve, there's those the

664
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: number of quality teams. I think Kentucky's quality, and I

665
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: think the teams that they play are quality. But the

666
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: phrase might be more apt in the ACC or the

667
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: Pac twelve or the Big ten when there are cushions

668
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: to be had.

669
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: Who else is interesting to you? I've got a long

670
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: list here, but I'm curious to pick your brain outside

671
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: of teams that are gumpy, right, are there any schedules

672
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: that look particularly trappy?

673
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: It's more Tennessee's.

674
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: I think it's their back half or their post buy

675
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 3: schedule that's they've.

676
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: Got the trappy right.

677
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: It's not even just trappy, it's feediccini alfredo. Man, they

678
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: got a carbo load, real thoroughly.

679
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 5: I ate more Fetichini alfredo and drank less water than

680
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 5: I have in my entire life.

681
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: I was going to bring up Tennessee if you didn't

682
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: bring them up next, Okay, continue.

683
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: So So Tennessee after thereby week in week six, I

684
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 3: believe it's Texas A and M at Bama, at Kentucky, Yukon,

685
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 3: we're talking about bowl YEP, America's true independent team at

686
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: Missoo Georgia Vandy. Now not terribly scared of Vandy if

687
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 3: I'm Tennessee. But it's both landmine and just filled with

688
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: that sweet, sweet alfredo sauce. So ty, give me your

689
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: thoughts on this stretch or somewhere else on their schedule

690
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: that has you intrigued.

691
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean on the road at Kentucky week after that

692
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: Bama rematch, let's talk about that for a second. I

693
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of Kentucky. I like Liam Cohen,

694
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: I love Devon Leary. I don't know what the rest

695
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: of the Kentucky often looks like we haven't gotten that

696
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: far with our prep. Yet we'll get there. I promise

697
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: you the over under six and a half for Kentucky.

698
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: We know what Vegas thinks of him. There's a six

699
00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: seven win team. But Kentucky's been pretty good on defense

700
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee lately, but for the overwhelming majority of the time

701
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: that the current regime has been in place, they've been

702
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: able to figure out defense. We need to pay a

703
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: little bit of attention to this situation. This is one

704
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: of the trappiest games of the year. The emotion in

705
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: that Tennessee Alabama game will be so freaking high after

706
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: what happened last year in Knoxville. Now they're going on

707
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: the road to Tuscaloosa for the rematch. I don't think

708
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee will be in the same spot they were a

709
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: year ago when they get to that matchup in Week eight,

710
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: But it's still gonna be a pretty good team, and

711
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: emotion is gonna run high. To come down off that

712
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: high in a rivalry game, to go on the road

713
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: to Lexington, m hm, dude, that's a trap if I've

714
00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: ever seen one. And then a week before going again

715
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: against Georgia, they're on the road at Missoo again, Miszoo

716
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: A little bit gumpy in their own right, and they

717
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: play with heart. I'm just saying those are two very,

718
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: very trappy games. Tennessee's over under is nine and a half.

719
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be so inclined to go over on that.

720
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: I could see them dropping one of these two games

721
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: that we mentioned, And there are plenty of other difficult

722
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: games on here, against Alabama, against Georgia, even against Florida.

723
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't think too highly of Florida. It's on the road, though,

724
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: it's on the road Texas A and M before Bama

725
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: after a bye in week seven. It's a really tough

726
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: stretch here for Tennessee the back half of the schedule,

727
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: and nine and a half feels pretty aggressive to me,

728
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: given some of the land mines here that may not

729
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: necessarily be that obvious.

730
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 3: It's it's weird you left one out, And I don't

731
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 3: know how I feel about this yet. It's going to

732
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 3: have to sort of marinate in my very dumb brain.

733
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: But Frank Harris is back for UTSA, is he not?

734
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 3: Oh man, your boy, Big Frank, seventh year Frank Harris.

735
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about the Roadrunners.

736
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what I what they have coming

737
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 3: back or what the roster is looking like right now.

738
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: But at Florida and South Carolina with UTSA sandwiched in there,

739
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: it's a Knoxville. I understand all of these things interesting.

740
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 3: It's just interesting. And also, just as it relates to

741
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 3: your Kentucky point, how that's just going to be tricky

742
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 3: in Lexington. It's not just Alabama before that they have

743
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 3: A and M defensive line, and then Alabama's defensive line

744
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 3: to contend with before that Kentucky game. It's just it's

745
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 3: just a lot to ask. And so if Joe Milton

746
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: is awesome and he's able to get rid of the

747
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: ball quickly, or he's just able to make those adjustments,

748
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 3: and if he has that command of the offense that

749
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: Hendon Hooker had last year, I'm not terribly worried. But

750
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 3: that's big if. That's big if because A and M

751
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: is going to be a problem on defenses.

752
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: And now we will get to A and M here momentarily.

753
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: I we need to talk about Old Miss. I need

754
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: your help and classifying this Old Miss schedule. Okay, Ole

755
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: Miss is over under a seven and a half. I

756
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: was trying to think it through the best I could

757
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: do is that this schedule is equivalent to smoking near

758
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: the gas pump, at least in the early part of

759
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: the season. All Right, this is the type of schedule

760
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: that may not look intimidating, but you could see a

761
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: loud bang and the whole thing sort of exploding even

762
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: before we get to week six. Here's what we're starting

763
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: out with. If you're Old Missed, now, bear in mind,

764
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of new at Old miss There's like

765
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: a three way quarterback thing going on at the moment.

766
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: They've taken on some transfers, right, I mean, we know

767
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: Portal King Lane kiffins very aggressive, and talent isn't so

768
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: much an issue. But there's just a lot of new

769
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: and that always frightens me a little bit. Week one

770
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: home against Mercer, who cares. Week two at TWU Lane,

771
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: that's a good two lane team. They're over under US

772
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: nine and a half. Come back home the week after

773
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: that against Georgia Tech a week before going on the

774
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: road at our Alabama. The Alabama game's probably a loss, Okay.

775
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: The Georgia Tech game sandwiched in between feels very weird

776
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: to me. I don't think super highly of Georgia Tech.

777
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: But I'm also not sure what I think of Old

778
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: Miss at this juncture. So the Georgia Tech game to

779
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: me is just odd in between road tilts against Twulane

780
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 1: and Alabama come home week three, Georgia Tech Week four

781
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: on the road to BAMA, Week five, home against LSU,

782
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: Week six home against Arkansas kind of a trappy game

783
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: in and of itself before going on by Yeah, the

784
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: first half of the season for Old Miss feels like

785
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: it is potentially flirting with disaster. Potentially flirting with disaster.

786
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 3: Do you think there's a cliff there, like what happened

787
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: against LSU last year? Like, do you think there's a

788
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: game where if they win it, they'll be alright right,

789
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 3: that the autopilot will stabilize, but if something happens in

790
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 3: that game that you could see it falling apart. Just

791
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: because they collapsed last year does not mean they're a

792
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 3: collapsing program every year, to be clear, To be just

793
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 3: asking now that we've seen it, because the defense seems

794
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 3: like it'll be up a high wire act this year.

795
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 3: Is there that game you're like, oh, man, I could

796
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 3: see things going south if this game doesn't work out

797
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 3: for him.

798
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's week two against Tulane. It's week two against Tulane.

799
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: It's week two against Tulane. Toulne's a good team. I

800
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: don't think they'll beat Ole Miss, but they've got a

801
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback coming back. There's a reason they're over. Under

802
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: is pretty high. They're a good team. Beat case Stadi

803
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: rgo right. So m hmm, I don't know. That to me,

804
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: feels like it is a bit of a wolf in

805
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: sheep's clothing, and I'd be concerned about something being off

806
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: very early on.

807
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: Now.

808
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: I think they'll win that game. I think they'll be fine.

809
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: I think they'll go in probably undefeated to that Alabama game. Okay,

810
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: even if they lose two games back to back Alabama

811
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: and LSU, there's still and find you it's still okay.

812
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: But then they've got to stabilize the ship against Arkansas,

813
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: who we should talk about next, because Arkansas, I think

814
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: has one of the more interesting schedules in the SEC.

815
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: There are other interesting games on the schedule if you're

816
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: Old Miss on the road at Auburn later in the year,

817
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: when hopefully they get their act together. They're home week

818
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: ten against Texas A and M. They're on the road

819
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: the very next week at Georgia. They close out this

820
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: thing obviously egg Bowl against Mississippi State. This is probably

821
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: one of the tougher schedules in the SEC. This to me,

822
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: I look at this and I say, I don't know

823
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: how they're getting out of this. There's also plenty of

824
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: trap potential here all Miss, because we did see sort

825
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: of that cliff effect last year where suddenly it just

826
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: stopped working. All of it stopped working suddenly, and it

827
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: was a pretty dramatic drop off. You could envision a

828
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: situation in which they go through just the ringer with

829
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: Alabama and LSU and things fall off the cliff against

830
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas or even they go through the ringer with Texas

831
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: A and M and Georgia and then to close out

832
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: the year things bottom out against Sippy State.

833
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 3: Well, here's the other thing with Ole Miss's schedule where

834
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: you know everything could turn in a moment's notice, is

835
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 3: as of now, they have three quarterbacks they feel like

836
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 3: could be starters if something terrible, if the game against

837
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 3: Alabama goes terribly, which is certainly on the table, is

838
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 3: there a quarterback change there? Are they waiting till the

839
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 3: bye week to make a quarterback change. If they're three

840
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 3: and three, I think it's that many weeks and if

841
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 3: if my record's aligne So what does it does an

842
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 3: ole Miss quarterback? Here's my question to you. Does an

843
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 3: ole Miss quarterback start eight games this year?

844
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: Probably?

845
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 5: Not?

846
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: Wow? Probably not?

847
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: Okay?

848
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 3: That I mean that would prized right that this might

849
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 3: be your Brian Kelly moment because where you have the

850
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 3: the eternal season long question about who should actually be

851
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: starting a quarterback? Yeah, those are my thoughts there. Where

852
00:42:59,160 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: we go next?

853
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: A and M said, now I want to go Arkansas?

854
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: Well it's Arkansas. Yeah, for sure, I want to go.

855
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: This is possibly the craziest stretch.

856
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: This is your Fetichini Alfredo tam.

857
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: See my friend Fetichini Alfredo stretch.

858
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 5: Yeah. I ate more Fetichinie Alfredo and drank less water

859
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 5: than I have in my entire life.

860
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: From week four through week seven, here's what we got.

861
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: They are on the road at LSU week four. Week

862
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: five is a neutral site game against Texas. A and

863
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: M and R.

864
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

865
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: Week six on the road at ole Miss. Week seven

866
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: on the road at Alabama. Then they come back home

867
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: and play Mississippi State before it bye. That's four straight

868
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: weeks away from home. This is a team that also

869
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: on the schedule, has BYU in Week three, which is

870
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: not an easy non conference game. After the bye a

871
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the year, they go to

872
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: Florida and play Florida Auburn back to back close out

873
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: the year in that border war of sorts. Not only

874
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: is there a crazy stretch whether they're away from home

875
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: four straight weeks, but also just a lot of tough

876
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: teams on this thing to begin with. And I know

877
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: we have questions about Arkansas. I mean, we talked through

878
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: what those were just a couple episodes ago, so I'm

879
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: curious to get your take on this because i know

880
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 1: you did more of a deep dive on the Hogs.

881
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: This is a tester, to say the least.

882
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 2: It is.

883
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: It's just defense for Arkansas at this moment. So Alice,

884
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: who's going to have an offense? Textas A and M,

885
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 3: We'll see Ole miss will have an offense no matter

886
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 3: who's that playing quarterback. We presume Alabama's still going to

887
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 3: have an offense. Mississippi State returns enough on offense to

888
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 3: make me think they're going to have an offense. So

889
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 3: you're absolutely right, And even saying like it's a treacherous stretch,

890
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 3: like even with the buye traveling to the swamp and

891
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: then Auburn after the buy immediately, I think the Fattacini

892
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 3: Alfredo stretch continues. So to me with Arkansas is they're

893
00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 3: a good team. And if you are an optimist, which

894
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: I generally like to be with Arkansas football because I

895
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: enjoy when Arkansas is good because they seem chaotic fun,

896
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 3: you can go through this schedule and say, I think,

897
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 3: within reason or at least ask the question, does Arkansas

898
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: have the best quarterback today of any team on their schedule?

899
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: Would all of these teams on Arkansas's schedule in a

900
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: heartbeat except kJ Jefferson over what they have presumably in

901
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 3: the shotgun.

902
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: Under center or whatever.

903
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 3: That's a great question, so the only one that like

904
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 3: at LSU, if you prefer jade and Daniels to kJ Jefferson,

905
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 3: You're not going to get much of an argument from me.

906
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 3: He's a very good quarterback who won the SEC West

907
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 3: and came up big in big games last year, So

908
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 3: that's fine. So maybe outside of Jadeen Daniels, does Arkansas

909
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: have a better quarterback situation than everybody? On their schedule,

910
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 3: that's a reason for optimism. Now, kJ Jefferson was beat

911
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 3: up last year, and I hate putting everything on a

912
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 3: singular talent, especially when the defense likely isn't going to

913
00:45:58,200 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 3: hold up its end of the bargain. You're not going

914
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 3: to see a kJ Jefferson esque defense. But it's easy

915
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: to say, look at this stretch. You know, there's just

916
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 3: a lot of quality teams in the SEC. But I

917
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 3: don't know if kJ Jefferson, if they are able to

918
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 3: plug in receivers, if the line is better and gives

919
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 3: them more time, if the universe is a just universe

920
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: and evens itself out and allows them to be healthy

921
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 3: this year, that's a reason for optimism with Arkansas despite

922
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: this schedule. I'm not there because of the defense. But

923
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 3: big picture, yeah, I think kJ Jefferson is the better

924
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 3: of the quarterback situations on eleven of these twelve teams today,

925
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 3: which is something.

926
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: Crazy stretch though to say the least upset. Totally absolutely

927
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: crazy stretch. Let's start about A and M. Now we've

928
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: put it off for far too long. Please and M

929
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: won five games last year. This year, they're over under

930
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: a seven and a half. First thing that jumps out

931
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: to me. Good teams on this right SEC schedule, but

932
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: good buffers, not a whole lot of stuff back to back.

933
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: That's it's going to be frightening. They've got a stretch

934
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: of the neutral cider against Arkansas followed by Alabama, follow

935
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: by a road tilt against Tennessee. That's a rough patch.

936
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: Beyond that, they've got Miami week two on the road.

937
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: Miami's over under is actually higher. I don't know if

938
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: that means they're a better team than A and M.

939
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: Probably not, but they're over under is eight. Obviously, that

940
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: doesn't mean Vegas is expecting their situation to be ramped

941
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: up fully by week two, right Vegas is looking at

942
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: that and saying that could easily be a loss. Sure,

943
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,479
Speaker 1: the over under here for A and M at seven

944
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: and a half, to me feels like incredible value. I'm

945
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: really in on A this year.

946
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 2: I was just curious which direction you were to.

947
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: I could see nine to three, I could see eight

948
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 1: and four. I'm not sure about seven and five. Seven

949
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: and five to me is just it's just too far.

950
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: That stretch is tough, and I could easily see losses

951
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: against Alabama and Tennessee. I could even see a loss

952
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: later in the year on the road out this thing

953
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: against LSU. But honestly, with the amount of talent that

954
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: they have, there is no reason A and M should

955
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: not at least be hitting eight wins with this thing.

956
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: There's no reason. And look, copy paste whatever you choose,

957
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: Control C, control V. Stop me. If you've heard this before,

958
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: I get it. But again, I can't convince him. I

959
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: can't get myself to that mental place where I'm looking

960
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: at the schedule and I'm looking at this roster and

961
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: I'm saying, oh, yeah, this team's going seven and five

962
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: or worse. I just do not feel that authentically in

963
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: a way that I'm gonna speak it so tostretch but

964
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: good enough buffers. I feel like they're in a really

965
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: good spot. They just got to get that offense sorted out.

966
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: They got Bobby Petrino, like, lock Jimbo out of the

967
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: meeting room when they're putting together their offensive schemes every week.

968
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: Just keep him away from it, give him the fake

969
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: wheel like they gave Dwight on lake Wall and Paul

970
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: pack whatever. Just keep him away from it, let him

971
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: play offense, and provided the offense isn't a disaster. I

972
00:48:58,760 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: think they'll be fine to hit that over.

973
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 3: Okay, So a couple great things about Texas A and M. One,

974
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 3: If you're betting the over, that means you feel good

975
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 3: about Connor Wagman and you are hopeful for his health

976
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 3: because if that goes sideways, Texas A and M may

977
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 3: go sideways. Right, that's the reality at this point. Two,

978
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 3: no app state on the schedule. Great, hallelujah, wonderful, great, great.

979
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: Three.

980
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 3: Their rush defense wasn't great last year, to say the least.

981
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 3: We'll see on Miami. But like a lot of these offenses,

982
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: Alabama's got a good rushing situation. I presume Tennessee will

983
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 3: and that's on the road. But like I don't know,

984
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 3: South Carolina lost guys, Mississippi State is transitioning to a

985
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 3: new offense. LSU will see. That wasn't the strength of

986
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 3: the team last year as Jaden Daniels led the way.

987
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 3: So A and M at seven and five, it's really

988
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 3: just quite simple to say if you think A and

989
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 3: M is going to be better than they were last

990
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 3: year at five and seven, then saying eight and four

991
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 3: is the easiest and most secure pick for Texas A

992
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 3: and M football. Because that's what they've been generally speaking,

993
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 3: an eight and four program. When quarterback has been fine

994
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 3: and they've had talent on both sides of the ball.

995
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 3: They're gonna have a crazy good pass rush this year.

996
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm not a wagering individual necessarily, but eight

997
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 3: and four feels about right to me.

998
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm in, man, I'm in.

999
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 3: But here's my big old butt ty, a big old

1000
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 3: butt is you introduced Bobby Patrino to an ecosystem that

1001
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 3: is already fragile, we'll say, has some turnover, has had

1002
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 3: some cultural issues these past couple of years. In a

1003
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 3: matter of speaking, when you introduce a Patrino, specifically the Roberts,

1004
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: they are another cliff team to me that you spend

1005
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 3: an entire back half of last year saying with Texas.

1006
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: A and M really buy out Jimbo Fisher.

1007
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 3: And then you smooth things over a little bit in

1008
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 3: the off season because it seems like they found a

1009
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 3: quarterback the future, and you know, they essentially lose a

1010
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 3: bunch of players to the portal that weren't huge contributors.

1011
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 1: I love this. I love this comparison. It's like when

1012
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: you go to Hawaiian you're not supposed to take anything

1013
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: that could harm the exos.

1014
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 2: Correct.

1015
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 3: I love it, right, and so it's already fragile, right,

1016
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 3: And here we are with a little eye dropper and

1017
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: a Peatrie dishing.

1018
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 2: That's what happens when you.

1019
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 3: Add a little bit of active petrino to an already

1020
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 3: on edge. That's all I'm saying.

1021
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 5: Ty.

1022
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 3: So, if I'm going to say, if I'm going to

1023
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 3: bring up a cliff situation with ole Miss, I'm going

1024
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 3: to say with Texas, A and M. Look, the Arkansas

1025
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 3: game is always goes haywire, right, That's always going to

1026
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 3: go like it's always going to turn on a dime,

1027
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 3: It's always going to go to overtime. So I'm not

1028
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 3: really worried about that specific game as a cliff game.

1029
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 3: There is something about that specific maybe South Carolina matchup,

1030
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 3: that you're like, well, look, Alabama's tough, Tennessee's tough, Arkansas

1031
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 3: is always weird. We got to beat South Carolina. If

1032
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 3: they don't beat South Carolina at home, that to me

1033
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 3: is that the haywire moment for A and M. What

1034
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 3: do you think of South Carolina? Duane, I'm kind of

1035
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 3: in on Shane Beemer. Yeah, I'm kind of in on

1036
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 3: South Carolina.

1037
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know that I'm there with Are

1038
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: you there with the rattle.

1039
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: With SMITHA rattler like, No, No, I've never been.

1040
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 3: They lose our offensive coordinator to Nebraska. Yes, yeah, they

1041
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:34,959
Speaker 3: had some big transfers skill position wise on offense was Marshawn.

1042
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 2: Lloyd and Jahem Bell. They recruit well, active enough in

1043
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 2: the portal.

1044
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 3: Just a really tough schedule and it's just always going

1045
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 3: to have Clemson there stare and look, they're on a

1046
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 3: Clemson winning streak.

1047
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: They're on a Clemson win streak. Part of this, to me,

1048
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: when we do the schedule preview that I don't enjoy

1049
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: is looking at teams that I want to root for

1050
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: year and in year out who just have brutal schedules,

1051
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: and South Carolina often rises to that level. Georgia Tech

1052
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: has been there. We've seen that recently with Arkansas. Not

1053
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: necessarily this year, but we've seen that with teams like Arkansas.

1054
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: It just always is a bummer when you're excited about

1055
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: the players and the roster and you look at the

1056
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: schedule and you think there's just no way here. Here's

1057
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: the issue I see for South Carolina. They open up

1058
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: the year neutral site game in Charlotte against North Carolina.

1059
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: That'll be a tough game. It's must win, it's must win,

1060
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: must win one, must win week one. Now they've got

1061
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: enough guys to do that. I in North Carolina, we

1062
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 1: still don't know if they're gonna play defense this year.

1063
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: They haven't game. Guess why start now? Why start now?

1064
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: Why start now? But that could be a wild game

1065
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: North Carolina can score. Beyond that, South Carolina is on

1066
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: the road to Georgia at Tennessee at MISSOO, and Texas

1067
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: A and M back to back a little bit later

1068
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,399
Speaker 1: in the year. That's not to mention there's a game

1069
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: against Florida in there. You could be Florida still a

1070
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: tough game. There's Kentucky at home a week before. They've

1071
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: got Clemson at home, a little bit of a tough

1072
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: stretch there, and Vandy just sort of lurking South Carolina

1073
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: again over under six and a half. I wouldn't want

1074
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: to go anywhere near that. I could see Shane Beemer

1075
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: overperforming again. That has sort of been his calling card

1076
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: the first two seasons in Columbia. But this is tough schedule, man,

1077
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: This is not an easy slate for them by any

1078
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: stretch of the imagination.

1079
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: It's a rhythmic.

1080
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 3: So it's North Carolina neutral site not terribly far away

1081
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 3: in Charlotte. So then it's there's no real nice stretches

1082
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 3: until the Jacksonville State Vandy and maybe Kentucky. If they're

1083
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 3: not good stretch, it's a rhythmic in that they are.

1084
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,919
Speaker 3: They played two home games between Furman and Jacksonville State,

1085
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,479
Speaker 3: Furman's Week two, Jacksonville State's Week ten.

1086
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 2: Two home games.

1087
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 3: In that stretch, and so they're just all over the place,

1088
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 3: and I'm not geographically all over the place. So I'm

1089
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 3: in on Shane Beemer as a motivator. I'm in on

1090
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 3: Shane Beemer as the center of a good cultural squad.

1091
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 3: I just don't love how this is laid out. So

1092
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 3: them going three in two before the bye, I believe,

1093
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 3: kind of seems mandatory if they're going to be a

1094
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 3: team that leaps to like a comfortable bowl team consistently,

1095
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 3: So they need to go three and two. If they

1096
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 3: do go three and two, winning against Florida is not

1097
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 3: crazy despite last year, Jacksonville State Vandy, Kentucky. Like you

1098
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 3: can you can see eight wins on this schedule. But

1099
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 3: they need to.

1100
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 2: They need to start off picking up where they left off.

1101
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: To me, yeah, and like you said, Week ones, must win.

1102
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: It's absolutely must win. And I think they can win.

1103
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: They can beat in North Carolina, they absolutely can. But

1104
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 1: it will test their offense. It will test Spencer Rattler,

1105
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: will test what they can do on that side of

1106
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 1: the ball. They have had some turnover there.

1107
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 3: North Carolina was not ready to play defense to start

1108
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 3: the season last year. They will be this year.

1109
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: Not at all, not anywhere close. We've got three teams left.

1110
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: We've got Vandy, We've got Auburn, We've got Mississippi State.

1111
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,439
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Mississippi State. We even't mentioned a whole

1112
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: lot about right, Mississippi State. The best thing that I

1113
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: can say about this schedule, Dan, is that I took

1114
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: absolutely no notes on it. I took no notes on it.

1115
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't too far a cry from what I'd expect.

1116
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: It wasn't anything that I looked at and I said, wow,

1117
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: that is just a brutal slate. It's about what i'd

1118
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: expect for a team in the n SEC West. So

1119
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: the way that this thing is set up, both LSU

1120
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 1: and Alabama at home. They've got a road game at

1121
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: Texas A and M, which will obviously be challenging a

1122
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: road game back to back road games after a bye

1123
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: against both Arkansas and Auburn. Their only other road game

1124
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: is at South Carolina week four. They've got a non

1125
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: conference game in Week two against Arizona, which feels like

1126
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: it should be winnable.

1127
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 2: They won the last year, but yeah, different coach, different system.

1128
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, close out the year obviously Egg Bowl against Ole Miss.

1129
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: So decent buffers I think for the most part, like

1130
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: I feel okay about that zone. I don't see any

1131
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: gigantic traps if you're Mississippi State. The one thing I'd

1132
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: say about Misissippi State, and perhaps this has just been

1133
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, anecdotal and something that's bothered me about the

1134
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: team over the last couple of years, but it feels

1135
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: like there have been moments where they've let us down

1136
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: where we expected. Moore, I know you're really high in

1137
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. Last year, Dan and the year before. It

1138
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: feels like you're always high in Misissippi State, and maybe

1139
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: they have got risen to that level for you. So

1140
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: bear in mind this is you know, new coach. Given circumstances,

1141
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: we wish them well. I'm curious to see how quickly

1142
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: they can get this thing up and running. We know

1143
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: he wants to take things in a bit of a

1144
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: different direction, so I think that in and of itself

1145
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: is a reason and maybe stand back and take a

1146
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: look at at things before we come to any conclusions

1147
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: on course the Bulldogs. But the schedule as it stands anyway,

1148
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: it's it. It's just sort of like very anonymous with

1149
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: respect to the other ones that we've described here today.

1150
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty great. I think that you like

1151
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 3: it pretty awesome. Okay, so here's what you need to

1152
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 3: know about Misissippi State. They're on the road once before

1153
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 3: we gat right, that's right, it's exactly right. So in

1154
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 3: terms of working in a new head coach and a

1155
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 3: new sism, everything like that, and just the the tragic

1156
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 3: nature of the circumstances surrounding the program, that seems ideal.

1157
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 3: If they go four and two to open the season

1158
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 3: before the bye. If they do so, that's Southeast Louisiana Arizona.

1159
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 3: Would you say William and Mary is right before the

1160
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 3: bye before, I don't.

1161
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: Know if it's William and Mary or Western Michigan.

1162
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 3: Sorry, I have WMU here WMU okay, so tell me

1163
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 3: who WMU I find as I'm talking. They also have

1164
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 3: like a gumpiness to their schedule, which is nice. So

1165
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 3: they're at South Carolina between LSU and Alabama, which is tough.

1166
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 3: South Carolina has Mississippi State between at Georgia and at Tennessee.

1167
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 3: That's a nice sandwich. Western Michigan, by the way, Western Michigan. Okay,

1168
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 3: so if we're saying Mississippi State, they're more talented than

1169
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 3: Western Michigan. Game is in stark Vegas.

1170
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 2: Great.

1171
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 3: They're on the road against Arkansas after a bye. Arkansas

1172
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 3: is at Alabama before that game. That's a nice situation. Kentucky,

1173
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 3: we circle because that's at home as a potentially winnable game.

1174
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 3: Kentucky the week before Mississippi State Tennessee the week after Alabama.

1175
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 3: That's a little bit gumpy.

1176
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 2: In the West.

1177
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 3: The Texas A and M game with Mississippi State. I mean,

1178
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 3: it's appline Christian is part of a sandwich. But it's

1179
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 3: after at Ole Miss for Texas A and M and

1180
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 3: then Mississippi State with the Egg Bowl at home. Certainly

1181
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 3: always preferable. So I don't know. I think it aligns

1182
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 3: relatively well if you if you consider the very much

1183
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 3: at home nature of the first you know, eight weeks,

1184
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 3: and then situationally where they get some of those potentially

1185
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 3: winnable games. If Mississippi State is pretty good, it lines

1186
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 3: up pretty well.

1187
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: It's sufficient for Mississippi State, and it will provide a

1188
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: challenge obviously it always does in the SEC. But over

1189
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: under six and a half feel pretty good about that,

1190
00:59:59,560 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: to be honest.

1191
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:04,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look though the back half road wise are again

1192
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 3: I've used the word high wire a bunch. Arkansas might

1193
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 3: have an extraordinarily bad defense. Again, Auburn might be still

1194
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 3: finding itself in year one under Hugh Freeze despite the

1195
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 3: talent upgrades. Both those games on the road, both those

1196
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 3: places are very tough to win games. But just in

1197
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 3: terms of where they are on the schedule, And I

1198
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 3: mentioned at A and M adding that droplet of Petrino

1199
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 3: and getting A and M near the end of the season,

1200
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 3: if things are going poorly for them, that's when I'd

1201
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 3: prefer to get them. So I don't know, I don't

1202
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 3: know how good they're going to be, but I don't

1203
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 3: hate how this is all.

1204
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: Laid out part of why I'm really intrigued by the SECS.

1205
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: You've got a bunch of teams that Vegas thinks are

1206
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: six win or seven win teams. Sure, so there's a

1207
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,919
Speaker 1: decided acc feel to that, which means that things could

1208
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: go in any number of one thousand different directions. Auburn's

1209
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: another one of those teams. Auburn six and a half,

1210
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: new coach, new circumstances have been active in the transfer portal.

1211
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Auburn has what may be the most interesting stretch. I

1212
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: don't know if it's the toughest, but at a minimum,

1213
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: it's interesting. I still think Arkansas has got that tougher

1214
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: week four through Week seven stretch I described earlier. But

1215
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: Auburn does go to A and M back home against Georgia,

1216
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: then on a bye, than to LSU before they come

1217
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: back home against Old Miss, Hugh Freese's former team, so

1218
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a storyline if you had

1219
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: to go to Old Miss. But coming back home, that's

1220
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: a tough stretch.

1221
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 3: I think why you're at that point that's six to

1222
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 3: seven win range. How many teams in the SEC of

1223
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 3: these fourteen teams are positive they know what they have

1224
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 3: at quarterback, not that four four and a half. So

1225
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 3: if you look at the teams here, Florida, no Georgia,

1226
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 3: no Kentucky, no Missoo. Kind of yes, Kentucky knows as

1227
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 3: they have with Devin Leary. Not for Kentucky. Okay, he

1228
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 3: threw a lot of short passes, won a couple of bits. No,

1229
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, I totally buy that, but continue, Okay,

1230
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 3: they know he's of a quality nature. Ty about that,

1231
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 3: weirdly phrasing's okay, So Kentucky, Miszoo, South Carolina, I'd say

1232
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 3: Tennessee at that's four, Arkansas five, LSU six If I'm

1233
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 3: giving you Kentucky, so let's say six, and then I

1234
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 3: guess it depends on how you feel about If Jackson

1235
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 3: Dart is starting, then it's seven.

1236
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: So that the teams I wouldn't put Miszoo anywhere close

1237
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: to a quarterback.

1238
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 3: Now, I'm just saying they know what they have, oh man,

1239
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 3: not that they're confident in what they have. If you

1240
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 3: if you want to say they're confident in what they have,

1241
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 3: that's a different question.

1242
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Miszoo is not confident in what they have.

1243
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 3: I know they're not confident what they have, but at

1244
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 3: least they can game plan to what they perceive to

1245
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 3: be Brady Cook strangths if he is again the starter.

1246
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 2: Sure, I don't know who's they.

1247
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 3: Brought in ja ye Okay, So I'm just saying I

1248
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 3: think that's a reason why I think, you know, a lot,

1249
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 3: a lot hinges, a lot. You know, there's sort of

1250
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 3: a quarterback seesaw in the conference right now, and then look,

1251
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 3: I think we know what we have in Connor, Wagman,

1252
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 3: Fray and m but adding in Bobby Petrino and I

1253
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm not positive we do. So that's why

1254
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 3: I think we're up in that air that there's just

1255
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 3: not a lot known about what these teams are going

1256
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 3: to look like.

1257
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: And Auburn's in the same boat.

1258
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.

1259
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean Auburn took on Peyton Thorn, that.

1260
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 3: Was the big I don't know if they know what

1261
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 3: they have in him.

1262
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: No, I don't know if we know what we have

1263
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: in him. Sure, we know that Peyton Thorn has been

1264
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: effective in spots. We know that he's been a gamer

1265
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: in spots for Michigan State before he transferred down. I

1266
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: don't I'm presuming maybe he's got more talent around him

1267
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: at Auburn. I don't know if we can say that definitively.

1268
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: It's year one under Hugh Freeze. There's been a lot

1269
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: of roster turnover.

1270
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 3: I'm also positive Michigan State fans watched Michigan State games

1271
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,919
Speaker 3: last year and watched the passing game and turned off

1272
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 3: the TV at times.

1273
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. So here's what I like for Auburn. Okay, now,

1274
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: with all that being said, UMass on the road at

1275
01:03:55,240 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: Cal and Samford first three weeks of the season, and

1276
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: that gives them a chance to soft launch whatever new

1277
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: thing they're trying to install. Okay, soft launch it. Get

1278
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: your schemes up and running before you got to go

1279
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: on the road to A and M, and then to Georgia,

1280
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: then to buy then on the road to LSU. That's

1281
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,439
Speaker 1: when it gets tough after week three. But that gives

1282
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 1: him at least enough of an opportunity to get things,

1283
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: get things going in the right direction.

1284
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 3: I have no comment on Auburn in terms of where

1285
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 3: the roster's at, what the systems look like with a

1286
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 3: new coach, new coordinators, everything, maybe a new full time

1287
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 3: starting quarterback. If they go four and one, that means

1288
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 3: they're beating A and M likely on the road, that's

1289
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 3: a huge success story. But the stretch of A and

1290
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 3: M Georgia Bye week LSU or the Mississippi schools, it's

1291
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 3: a media middle tie, it's a medy middle. Although, like,

1292
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 3: I don't hate how this schedule lands. I mean, I'm

1293
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 3: still talking about the Mississippi Schools at Vanderbilt, at Arkansas,

1294
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 3: New Mexico State, Alabama.

1295
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 2: Like, I don't don't hate it.

1296
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 3: I just there's too much up in the air for me,

1297
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 3: and I don't trust where they are at quarterback, and

1298
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 3: so I don't know if if they're a Boll team

1299
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 3: this year, if they go seven and five, I say great, yeah, great,

1300
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 3: first step, that's where they should be. This is a

1301
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,959
Speaker 3: tough schedule after the UMAs, Cal Samford, whatever you call.

1302
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: Your soft launch. After the soft launch. Yeah, of course, I'm.

1303
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 2: Not even sold on them beating Cal.

1304
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: No, No, interesting.

1305
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 3: Cal could beat Auburn and go two and ten, because

1306
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 3: that would be just an extraordinarily cal thing to do.

1307
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: That'd be very cal.

1308
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 2: Justin Wilcox exclusively wins in September. Yeah.

1309
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: Final team here is Vandy over Unders three and a

1310
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: half Vandy. Vandy has the distinction of having the easiest

1311
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: four game stretch to start its season. They go, Okay,

1312
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: they're going against to Why week zero, then Alabama A

1313
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: and M the following week at Wake at UNLV for

1314
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: four games of the season. Now, when I say the

1315
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: easiest four game stretch to start at season, I'm not

1316
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: saying Vandy will go four to oh. I'm just saying,

1317
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: relative to other SEC teams that have, you know, a

1318
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: couple teams they should beat in the first couple of

1319
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, Andy's appears to be the easiest.

1320
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it is drawn to scale given where Vandy's been

1321
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: at these last couple of years. After Week three, it

1322
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: toughens up, you know, then they start getting into their

1323
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 1: SEC schedule. It's not horrible. It's not horrible. In terms

1324
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: of the home road split, I'm not saying they're going

1325
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: to go seven and five. I'm just saying their road

1326
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: games are Florida, all Miss South Carolina, and Tennessee decent

1327
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: buffers in between. Does not appear to me like there

1328
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: is any kind of like murderers row here. There's back

1329
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: to back weeks. It gets Florida, Georgia. This is all

1330
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: to say we're still talking about Vandy, So maybe keep

1331
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,919
Speaker 1: things in perspective. Tie, get that, I get that. I'm

1332
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: just saying they could start off, they could win a

1333
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: couple of games. And if you are thinking of this

1334
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: from the perspective of over unders, Vandy was plucky in

1335
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: moments last year. There is a world in which Vandy

1336
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: wins three games to start at season. Vandy goes three

1337
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: and one to start at season, and they only need

1338
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: to win one somewhere the rest of the way. Maybe

1339
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: it's on the road itself Carolina, maybe it's home against Auburn,

1340
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: maybe it's a game against Missouri or Kentucky. But there

1341
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: is a world in which they could hit that over

1342
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: relatively early on in the season and then not win

1343
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: any other games.

1344
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 2: Are you not a Timmy Chang believer? Is that what

1345
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 2: I'm hearing from you?

1346
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: I might not be a Timmy Chang believer? No. Yeah.

1347
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 3: It is kind of funny when a team has like

1348
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 3: a must win September, because if you're trying to get

1349
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 3: to a bowl game, if you're trying to get closer

1350
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 3: to a bowl game, and a mass four or five

1351
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 3: wins and hope for a six and a fifty to

1352
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 3: fifty matchup. I'm kind of enamored with the Vandy over. Yeah,

1353
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 3: don't again. I don't hate the September must win situation

1354
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 3: we'll see on Wake. I just think it's very easy

1355
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 3: annually to say, like, ah, Wake, who's Wake, what's Wake

1356
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 3: going to do? And they just keep winning games and

1357
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 3: pushing around better teams, even losing efforts. So I'm I'm

1358
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 3: not writing in Wake. I'm not sure here you are either,

1359
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 3: But like getting Kentucky when they do, getting Missoo when

1360
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 3: they do, getting Auburn when they do, like, it's a

1361
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 3: nice you'd rather get your I think you're more winnable

1362
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 3: games at home. I know that goes counter to some

1363
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 3: line of thinking, but I don't know it really secure

1364
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 3: the wins.

1365
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: If you're Van your death hit right, if you'r Vandy,

1366
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: you'll take it.

1367
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of enamored with the over right now

1368
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 3: over they do have teams, they do have teams at

1369
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 3: ideal spots.

1370
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 1: I think I'm in on Vandy three and a half. Yeah, yeah,

1371
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: this could morph into an over under show anyway. If

1372
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 1: it does, I apologize, but that's okay.

1373
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 3: I'm the problem is, I think we took a lot

1374
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 3: of overs, and we need to hit some unders here

1375
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 3: as well, so do you. We can do that on

1376
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 3: another show, But I don't know. Auburn feels like a

1377
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 3: candidate right now.

1378
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: To me, Missoo's a good candidate for under.

1379
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 3: Missoo's a good candidate. Ole miss might be a good candidate. Yeah,

1380
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 3: Kentucky quietly might be a good candidate. But that I

1381
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 3: hate that they start with Ball State, Eastern Kentucky and Akron,

1382
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 3: so they might just hack their way to seven wins.

1383
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: All right? Fair enough, Of all the teams that we

1384
01:08:55,240 --> 01:09:01,759
Speaker 1: discussed here in the wide world of SEC football, which

1385
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: is the singular most interesting team for you, given what

1386
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: we're discussing here, given schedule, given circumstances, given whatever, If

1387
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: you have to pick one out right, we've already called

1388
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: out easiest and some of the toughest and craziest stretches

1389
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: and gumpiness and trappe'es and odd balls and all that stuff.

1390
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: But which is the one team that, when you went

1391
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: through this, raise your eyebrows the most?

1392
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 2: Oh A and M.

1393
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's easily an M both because of what the

1394
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 3: roster looks like, what the coaching staff looks like. But

1395
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 3: getting that week two opponent in Miami at Miami. Having

1396
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:41,759
Speaker 3: that Arkansas game as always like a crazy game. Getting

1397
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 3: to see Auburn early on. Is that Auburn's Yeah, that's

1398
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 3: Auburn's first Like not not to throw shade at cal

1399
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 3: or whoever, but that's Auburn's first real game. So we'll

1400
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 3: get a great sense of Auburn via A and M.

1401
01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 3: Getting Alabama at home is great, The game against Tennessee

1402
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 3: at Tennessee the following week is great. I love that stretch.

1403
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 3: I love that Auburn Arkansas, Alabama Tennessee stretch. And I

1404
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 3: just think there is more potential for entertainment with A

1405
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 3: and M schedule than most of the teams across the conference. Now,

1406
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:15,480
Speaker 3: I think they're fascinating.

1407
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: For me, it's Florida. I think it's an easy one.

1408
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: It's Florida. The schedule If you're a Florida fan. The

1409
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: schedule features some of the better teams in the country.

1410
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Is a great schedule just as a casual observer. Maybe

1411
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 1: if you're not a Florida flan Florida fan, excuse me,

1412
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:33,600
Speaker 1: it's better. But there's a lot of high profile matchups

1413
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 1: on this thing, and so that makes it in and

1414
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: of itself interesting and because of the way this thing

1415
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: is spaced out, not necessarily a murderer's row. Wounders, baby

1416
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: wounders row, wounders row is very much in play for

1417
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,679
Speaker 1: the Florida Gators. Every other week there is a good matchup.

1418
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: I still feel pretty adamantly that five and a half

1419
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: sells them short. I still believe a great deal in

1420
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Billy Napier could very easily see a world in which

1421
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,839
Speaker 1: you know, Florida is what three and three and everyone's

1422
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: wondering like, what the hell, what the hell is this

1423
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:09,759
Speaker 1: thing going to turn around?

1424
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 3: Or Florida for you is fast and the problem with

1425
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 3: I considered Florida the problem when you ask whose schedule

1426
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 3: is fascinating, I have to consider gram Mertz. I have

1427
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 3: to factor the Mertz factor into the equation. I know,

1428
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 3: and I prefer not to at this moment, at this juncture.
