Man in Columbia, home 6 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: team off a bye week to start October. Wouldn't want 7 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: it to be me. We're jampacked high top a radiant 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on this Tuesday night for the rest 9 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: of you October, first year of our lower twenty twenty four, 10 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: probably brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors. And 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: I have concerns, friends, I have concerns that as some 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: of you gird up your loins to go to your 13 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: tailgates this Saturday, you're gonna be going there as a 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: double digit favorite, and you're gonna be in some cases 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: looking to your left and right because you have big 16 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: games coming up, or you just came off a big 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: game and you're not focused on the here and now. 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: And that's the kind of weekend. And I think we 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: have one coming up that is memorable for all the 20 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: wrong reasons. I just want us to be careful. I 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: got full week six predictions, of course, on the show tonight. 22 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 1: That's what we do on Tuesday. I've got a brand 23 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: new JP poll to drop on you in I would 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: say mere moments, but it's like thirty minutes down the road, 25 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: and I've got a couple of added best bets. We've 26 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: also got a big relief effort underway for our friends 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: in everywhere from Florida to Virginia to the Carolinas to Tennessee. 28 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: We're paying attention. If no one else in Washington is, 29 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: we're paying attention. So I'm going to give you some 30 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: details a little bit later on about what we're actionably 31 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: doing to help there. They're watching us in Oakridge, Tennessee, 32 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, California, Lewiston, Maine, and Flynnburgh, Germany. Happy 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: you guys are with us? Okay, we got a lot 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: of different directions to go. Let's see if this makes 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: a sound Colin, Yeah, I think you could hear that. 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: That's how thick the pad of paper is tonight. So 37 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: we got a lot of different things to talk about. 38 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: And now, normally on a Tuesday show, I would just 39 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: dive right into the first game that we want to 40 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: predict like last week. Of course, we led with Georgia 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: Bama this week. I do want to touch on something 42 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: just momentarily before we get into all the predictions for 43 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: the week. I think a volcanic Saturday could be coming. 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: I really think this Saturday could be detrimental, potentially catastrophic 45 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: as sports go for a lot of you. And here's 46 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: the problem. Stat's an info AKA producer Jesse tells me 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: that fourteen ranked teams are facing unranked conference opponents this weekend, 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: either Friday or Saturday night. And I just want to 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: remind you in this post Kentucky versus Old Miss World 50 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: of Ours, that almost anything is possible in college football. 51 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: Not everything, but a lot of stuff can go down 52 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: the way it's not supposed to go down. And so 53 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: last weekend, how did that happen? How did we get 54 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: the whole Kentucky over Old Miss upset plopped in our lap? Well, 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: what we had was we had a team we thought 56 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: we knew about. I'm going to include myself in this. 57 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: We didn't even predict a game on the show last week. 58 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: That's how that it was for us. So we had 59 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: a team we thought we knew some stuff about in 60 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: Old Miss. So you spend all of the spring in 61 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: the summer in the preview magazine season, as we like 62 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: to call it, and you gather your expectations and you 63 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: define your expectation for a team. Now, if we're lucky, 64 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: that team is like Georgia, they face Clemson right out 65 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: of the gate, so we see them against quality competition 66 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: right out of the gate. But that's not always the 67 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: way it works. So in Ole Missus case, they go 68 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: week one furman of two, three, four, They face competition 69 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: to varying degrees, but none of them equal competition. And 70 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: so we get all the way to week five, and 71 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: to be honest, Kentucky still came in there as a 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: double digit underdog like seventeen and a half point dog. 73 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: But the athletic profile of Kentucky's team, just the caliber 74 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: of athlete they put out there alone, was a huge 75 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: step up from what Ole miss had faced so far. 76 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: So what we had was the classic metaphor of maybe 77 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: some cracks in the old damn there that had always 78 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: been there, but your previous four opponents weren't apeable of 79 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: putting the water pressure on it to expose it. And 80 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: then Kentucky did, and voile. You got an upset. That's 81 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: how it happens in college football in the first half 82 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: of the season, all the time. So let's take a 83 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: look at this Saturday. Because the casual amongst you, every 84 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: one of you's got one in your life. Unfortunately, some 85 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: of us have multiple casuals in our lives, and they 86 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: will tell you this is not the week. This is 87 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: the week to go apple picking, this is the week 88 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: to go house hunting, this is the week to hang 89 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: out at home depot. Well it's not. That's what God 90 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: made Wednesday for. Take a day off work, you know, 91 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: good and well, you got some racked up Saturday. You 92 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: need to be locked in now. I'm not telling you 93 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: that Alabama's going to Vanderbilt to lose. There's only one 94 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: person in this building who's ever predicted something that foolish, 95 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: and it was Bradley the associate and he doesn't even 96 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: work on this show anymore. True story. Bradley was with 97 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: me down in Columbus in twenty seventeen or nineteen when 98 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: the poor kid over at Vandy called out Bama and 99 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: then Bama splattered him all over Nashville. Yeah, Bradley got 100 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: to off air short time after that, So not so 101 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: much the Bama at Vanderbilt because I don't think Vanderbilt 102 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: has the athletic profile to challenge Alabama. Even if Alabama 103 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: plays down. I don't think that could be wrong. The 104 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: rest of the games on your screen here. Iowa plays 105 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: at Ohio State this Saturday. Ohio State, what do you 106 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: know about him? We're gonna predict the game a little 107 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: bit later. What do you know about him? You probably 108 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: know Jeremiah Smith and whatever your preseason predictions were for 109 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Most of you, outside of being Buckeye fans, 110 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: have not watched them. Iowa, what do you know about them? 111 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: You know they can play good defense. Therefore you know 112 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: they can put themselves in games. Tennessee goes to Fayetteville. 113 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: Some call it Fayetnam, and they call it that for 114 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: a reason. I don't need to tell folks in the 115 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: South what a desperate Arkansas at home could mean. Auburn 116 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: against Georgia, Now this one's not in Jordenhare Stadium, So Georgia, 117 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: especially coming off the Bama game, back against the wall, 118 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: no more margin for air and conference games. It should 119 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: be it should be a get right week. But do 120 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: you really get right in rivalry games. Is that the 121 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: way this sport works. And also, if you listen to 122 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: Brother Freeze down there, he's not wrong. If you watch Auburn, 123 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: if you look at their team profile, it's not wrong 124 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: to say, and this is a big say, it's not 125 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: wrong to say, you know, if they could just cut 126 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: down the turnovers, that they're a pretty good team. Auburn's 127 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: a pretty good team. Auburn is a team that, if 128 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: they had a half a decent execution about themselves, could 129 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: be five and zer right now. So could Arkansas, by 130 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: the way, but they're not. But here's the problem. The 131 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: games they've lost during the rearview mirror. Those are games 132 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: that any given week or those are teams that any 133 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: given week are capable of putting a five and oh 134 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: caliber performance on the field, at which point you realize 135 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: those points spreads are a little bit too fat. Now, 136 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: Friday night, before all that happens, Michigan State goes to Oregon. 137 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: That's Jonathan Stewart's Michigan State Spartans going to Oregon. And 138 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: that's a guy he's very familiar with, Stuart versus Landing. 139 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: That's a program Oregon. He's very familiar with facing. He's 140 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: played him tough in the past. Last year they had 141 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: that game against Washington and then they're gassed, and then 142 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: they got a play Oregon on short rest, so that 143 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: one Oregon got a little margin in What did I say, 144 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: I said, Jonathan Stewart, Well, that's not the head coach 145 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: at Michigan State. Did I say it once or twice? Oh? 146 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: Please don't tell me. I said it multiple times. We 147 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: did this last year in some moment too. Anyway, you 148 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: get it. Michigan State's going to Oregon. Now UCLA's going 149 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: to Penn State. No, I don't expect it to happen. 150 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: The spreads twenty seven and a half. I don't expect 151 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: it to happen. But Miami's going to cal That's where 152 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: game day is. And that one's a little more interesting, 153 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: especially because the last time we saw Miami they won 154 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: a game against Virginia Tech that was mighty sloppy. And 155 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: also because the Calgarithm has been hard at work. They 156 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: have labeled this thing. Those of you who are let's 157 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: call it forty five and over, maybe you remember Catholics 158 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: versus convicts, You remember the whole Notre Dame versus Miami series. 159 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: The Cal folks have taken it upon themselves to label 160 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: this game against Miami woke versus Coke T shirts available. 161 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm told in Berkeley right now Michigan goes to Washington. 162 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: That is your number ten Michigan Wolverines as a two 163 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: and a half point dog in Seattle. USC is less 164 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: of a favorite at Minnesota than Ole Miss is at 165 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: South Carolina. All these ranked teams eight, ten, eleven, twelve, 166 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: they're all on the road ten and a half point, 167 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: two and a half point dog, eight and a half 168 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: point favorite, nine and a half point favorite. You know 169 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. Okay, we know it's a mathematical certainty 170 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: based on college football history. It's gonna happen. Where is 171 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: it gonna happen? And it's not even over if we 172 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: just keep going. Do you realize this is the week 173 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: we were supposed to be in Tallahassee? This is the 174 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: week all due respect, I cannot wait to go to 175 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: A and M this weekend. But when I looked in 176 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: August and I looked at week six, I thought, Colin 177 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: and Jesse, I think we're gonna be in Tallahassee. Why 178 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: did I think that, well, Florida State was the preseason 179 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: favorite to win the ACC and this was the week 180 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: Clemson was coming to town. And it's still the week 181 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: Clemson's coming to town. It is not the week We're 182 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: going down there because Florida State's terrible. Clemson is a 183 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: fourteen and a half point favorite on the road. Looks 184 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: like Brock Glenn gets the start at quarterback. That's what 185 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: we think for Florida State. That's primetime game. Take that 186 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: for whatever it's worth. Is there one moment this year? 187 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: Is there one moment where Florida State just briefly plays 188 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: up to potential? And what is Florida State's potential? I 189 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: don't know. Baylor goes to Iowa State, Nope, SMU at Louisville. 190 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: Louisville kind of desperate right now. That wasn't a conference game. 191 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: They lost against Notre Dame last week. But that right there, 192 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: that's a new and Eastern kickoff on ESPN, could sneakily 193 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: be the best game of the day. And then Indiana 194 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: suspiciously only land thirteen and a half at Northwestern. The 195 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: model thinks it's wrong. I think it wrong. Producer Jesse 196 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: thinks it wrong. Kids are dressing up as cigarettes in 197 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: Indiana fandom this Halloween. That's what coach Sigg has done 198 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: to ignite the fan base, and yet they're only thirteen 199 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: and a half point favorites in Northwestern. Northwestern has been 200 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: horrific this year. Thirteen and a half. I mean, this 201 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: is top twenty fiveteen in Indiana. JP polagrees. We'll talk 202 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: about that later tonight. So all I'm saying is when 203 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: we feel a little minor tremor, when the water in 204 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: the town turns a little acidic, when it smells like sulfur, 205 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: and when we see puffs of smoke out of the mountaintop, 206 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: we should not ignore that because that is a precursor. 207 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: Pierce Brasenen taught us a long time ago. Do not 208 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: ignore the signs or else, all of a sudden, you've 209 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: got an terruption on your hands, and then you've got 210 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: mass panic and chaos. It'll be panic and chaos no 211 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: matter what kind of preparation we undergo. But I don't 212 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: want us to be surprised when it goes down Saturday. 213 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: Don't be caught in the apple orchard with questionable cell 214 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: service trying to text your buddy and ask them, what 215 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: the South Carolina scores, what USC's doing, what at Minnesota. 216 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: Don't be that guy. We've all been there before. Don't 217 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: be that guy. Academy Sports and Outdoors opening a new 218 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: store in fact this weekend. So I do give you 219 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: permission at least Saturday morning if you're in the Raleigh 220 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: Durham market, sell them in North Carolina, to be exact, 221 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: ten to four through ten six. So this week in 222 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: grand opening, told you we're opening up new Academy Sports 223 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: and Outdoors all over the country. And you guys know 224 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: it's hunting season. Man, it's right here. It's on us now. 225 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: I talk about sporting good supplies all the time, grilling supplies, 226 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: tailgating supplies, back to school clothing. Yes, they've got all that. 227 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: Get you a bicycle over there. They will stock you 228 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: up in hunting supplies as well, which we don't talk 229 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: about a whole lot on the show. But it's not 230 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: because they don't have it. It's just been because it's 231 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: been summer and spring for the past several months. So 232 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: they've got you covered there. Five of you if you 233 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: prove that you go there, several of you will, but 234 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 1: five of you are going to be chosen at random 235 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: to receive Chalai of supremacy as long as you prove 236 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: to me. Take a picture in the parking lot. Take 237 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: a picture of a receipt, I don't care. Tag me 238 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: in it, and I will I will respond accordingly, because 239 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: that is how much we appreciate Academy, the presenting sponsor 240 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: of our show. All right, now, let's predict some games. 241 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: Let's get into this. Got a big live crowd. Make 242 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: sure you subscribe someone, I mean someone in the live 243 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: chat is campaigning for Jeb Bush in twenty twenty four. 244 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: And you know you know how much I love being 245 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: political on the show. But tonight I'm gonna go ahead 246 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: and put him in time out. Ah Man normally a 247 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: heavily political show, but tonight we're just gonna lean a 248 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: different way. Missouri is at Texas A and M this Saturday. 249 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: I will be there the whole New Saturday tour will 250 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: be in College Station this Saturday. Very much looking forward 251 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: to getting back because we have a love love relationship 252 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: with Texas. A lot of you are haters of Texas 253 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: A and M. Now if you're a Longhorn fan, you 254 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: get a pass. In fact, I don't really care, I mean, 255 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: these people don't need me to speak for them. I 256 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: have just told you. For a long time, I watched 257 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: Texas A and M from a distance, and then I 258 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: finally got to go out there and I kind of understood. 259 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: I used to make fun of A and M all 260 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,359 Speaker 1: the time. Then I went out there and I understood. 261 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: And it's different. It's a different place. As they like 262 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: to say, if you're part of it, it doesn't need explaining, 263 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: and if you're not part of it, don't bother trying 264 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: to explain it. Perfectly said, I can add no more. 265 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: What I can do is I can tell you this 266 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: is the first time Missouri leaves home this year. They're 267 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: coming off of buy. We have gotten into that part 268 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: of the season now. A and M. To me, A 269 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: and M, what are they? They're ranked twenty fifth right now. 270 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: They seem to me like a click team. We see 271 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: them every October. It's the kind of team that has 272 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: a higher ceiling than the level they've played to so far, 273 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: and so they're the team that you look for a 274 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: little bit sort of the rubber band effect. Are they 275 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: the kind of team that's pulling the rubber band back? 276 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: And if so, when do they let it go. When 277 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: do we get that result that makes us go there 278 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: they are? Is this a there they are weekend? Or 279 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: could it be a there they are a weekend for Missouri? 280 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: Quite honestly, both of these teams kind of fit that 281 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: profile if you're a Missouri fan. By the way, can 282 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: I say this? I can say this. So powermassoo dot 283 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: Com has come into the twenty four to seven sports fold, 284 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: and I am told I have it on very good 285 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: authority that it's October first, next couple of days, seventy 286 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: five percent off signing up over there, folks in the 287 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: Missouri market. I get on that. So let's just talk 288 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: about these two teams. Are the profiles telling us the 289 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: truth here? A and M. So they've played much better competition. 290 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: A and M's played Notre Dame, they played Arkansas, Florida 291 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: Bowling Green's one of the better G five teams out there. 292 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: Missouri's played like Vandy and Boston College. So the rule 293 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: on this show is we certainly don't discount it just 294 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: because you haven't played high quality competition, but we can 295 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: be a little more skeptical at fully buying into your 296 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: stat profile. For example, so Missouri's leader Rusher has gone 297 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards nine out of their last twelve 298 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: games against power for competition A and M this year 299 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: already has faced top twenty five rushing teams and they've 300 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: still got a better run defense than the pass defense. 301 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: So the first thing I'm going to want to see 302 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: Saturday as Missouri, like most teams do, try and establish 303 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: the run, is are you about to do it against 304 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: that front? Because I think you've got a tough time 305 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: on your hands, and if that game script starts to 306 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: play out, well, then I look at quarterback from Missouri, 307 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: Brady Cook, thought to be one of the strengths of 308 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: this team coming into the season, and I don't know 309 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: how much Brady Cook will need to contribute here. I 310 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: just think it'll need to be more than whatever average 311 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: has been for him so far this year. Last year, 312 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: at this time early paper Popper of A stats, last 313 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: year at this time, Missouri had the seventeenth profile in 314 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: the country in explosive pass plays seventeenth. They were moving 315 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: the ball down the field pretty well. They're one hundred 316 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: and second in that stack category. This year, just hadn't 317 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: pushed the ball down the field enough and he's been 318 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: inaccurate at times. But kind of like we said with 319 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: the whole click philosophy, the potential is there. This isn't 320 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: a team that has shown all their cards, in other words, 321 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: and they're coming out of a buy and they got 322 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: a really good offensive coaching staff. They got a really 323 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: good coaching staff period up there. So I would expect 324 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: the best game or him to be put in the 325 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: best position to play the best game he's played all year. 326 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: A and M's a really good havoc team though You've, 327 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: of course, you've got home field at your back, and 328 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: you've got a team going on the road for the 329 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: first time. But their sixteenth in takeaways is Texas A 330 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: and M's defense this year, and they're I mean, I 331 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: would almost say this is a second paper popper. They've 332 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: got three games with no giveaways and multiple takeaways this year. 333 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: Now you do that, you're gonna win Saturday. I don't 334 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: think that's breaking news. But Marcel Reid or Connor Wigman, 335 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: who do we get at quarterback for Texas A and M. 336 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: Talk to people at A and M today, let me 337 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: tell you how I feel about it. Not to old things. 338 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: Let me tell you how I feel about it. I 339 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: would say I've changed my mind on how I would 340 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: like to approach it. So the other night I kind 341 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: of flippantly said, well, if Wigman's ready to play, don't 342 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: you have to play him. Don't you have to have 343 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: the guy who can push it down the field. More 344 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: thought about that a little bit more. Here's what I think. 345 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: I don't know this, but here's what I think. I 346 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: think Wigman will be able to play Saturday. I think 347 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: I'd still roll with Marcel Reid to start the game 348 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: because I think the combination of him and Le'Veon Moss 349 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: just running the ball against Missouri gives me the best 350 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: chance and puts me in the best position to win. 351 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: Missouri is a top twenty run defense on paper. I 352 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: want to test that because if I'm A and m 353 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking at him and I flat out don't think 354 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: they faced. I'm gonna what I'm gonna throw at him, 355 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: so to speak. And I've already got Wigman ready, so 356 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: if I need to bring him in the game, I 357 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: can bring him in the game. But I actually changed 358 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: my mind over forty eight hours ago. I think I'd 359 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: probably roll with Marcel Reid. Noah, Tom, if you want 360 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: to look at one thing that could turn this game. 361 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: Noah Thomas, his size versus these Missouri defensive backs, I 362 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: could see in a game if it's played in like 363 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: the low twenties upper teams low twenties now the over 364 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: unders forty eight and a half here, so they expect 365 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: some points to be scored. But that could be the 366 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: difference down there in the red zone. You know, one 367 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: jump ball one play or one fourth and five where 368 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: you throw a back shoulder over there, Noah Thomas grabs 369 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: it and moves the chains and you end up winning. 370 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: That could be the difference here. Colin, Let's take a 371 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: look at what the model thinks. I'm looking at A 372 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: and M minus one and a half right now at FanDuel. 373 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: The model is a little more bullish on Texas A 374 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: and M and I think because of the quality competition 375 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: they've already faced, being a little different level up and 376 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: home field at their back, and me thinking there's still 377 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: some scaling up this team can do. Even with how 378 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: much I trust Drink coming off a buy, and even 379 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: with how much I think Missouri does have the advantage 380 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: at quarterback, I think team advantage goes A and M's 381 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: way enough to where I slightly lean them to win 382 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: and cover with not a dime of money to be 383 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: wagered on this game. Right now, the odds to win 384 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: the SEC Championship, Missouri is sitting at fifth. There's a 385 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: big gap between four and five, so there's a clear 386 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: top four there of Bama, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, but it's 387 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: Missouri fifth and then Ole, miss LSU and Texas A 388 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: and M are all tied for sixth basically, and those 389 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: numbers will certainly move based on the outcome of this game. Now, 390 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: as I said, we're headed to College Station. In fact, 391 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna do the Thursday show a little bit early. 392 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: I'll give you those details. I think we're gonna do 393 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: it at three Jesse. Three Central time is when the 394 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: live show Thursday will air, So a lot of you 395 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: will show up at seven and you'll just see that 396 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: it's already there and you can watch the replay at 397 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 1: your convenience. We're gonna fly to Houston and drive over 398 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: to College Station Thursday night. Got a full day Friday. 399 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: Just make sure you're following at late kick Josh still 400 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: on Instagram, but make sure you're following. Gonna be a very, 401 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: very fun and event packed wekend out in College station. 402 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: I will let you know more when I can let 403 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: you know more. But we're headed there courtesy of Quick 404 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: Trip because they fuel the entire whole New Saturday tour, 405 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: and they are fueling our gas giveaway. We've been given 406 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: away tanks upon tanks upon tanks a free gas and 407 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 1: that's not going to stop anytime soon because as soon 408 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: as we partnered with them, I said, hey, good news everyone. 409 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: They've agreed to let us give away thousands of dollars 410 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 1: in free gasoline. So that's not going to stop, and 411 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: we're not going to stop. We're on the road every weekend, 412 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: so we need a partner like Quick Trip, and they 413 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: have been the perfect partner. Shall we say, let's move 414 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: on more games to predict. Let's take a sip from 415 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: the nondescript water jug which is very clearly from publics, 416 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: and let's talk about the CBS Game of the week 417 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: Saturday at three thirty Central time or Eastern time. Colin, 418 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: I'll just say it again for you, The CBS three 419 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: thirty Eastern Game of the Week is Iowa at Ohio State. 420 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: Is this on everyone's radar? Should it be on your radar? 421 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: In this post Kentucky Ole Miss World of Ours, I 422 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: would say yes, very similar sort of point spread number 423 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: on the game, very similar profile in that you think 424 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: of team's coming in that can play fairly decent, you know, 425 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: hard nos football, but is limited in their ability to 426 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: score and they're facing a high octane offense. That's what 427 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: people said last week about Kentucky Ole Miss. Is that 428 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: a prediction for an upset here? Absolutely not. I'm just 429 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: trying to get you to tune in. How much of 430 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: America has watched this team, Ohio State? How much of 431 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: you or how many of you have watched Ohio State. 432 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: I think outside of Ohio State fans and like hardcore 433 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: Big Ten fans, most of America's impression of Ohio State 434 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: so far is you've seen some Jeremiah Smith highlights because 435 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: it's freak of nature, and then you've known what you've 436 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: expected from Ohio State and you've just kind of checked 437 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: the box every week. You didn't watch the Akron game, 438 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: you didn't watch Western Mission, you didn't watch Marshall. Most 439 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: of you probably didn't watch them at Michigan State last week. 440 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: You just know, I think Ohio State's really good so far. 441 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: The box scores look like they're really good. They've got 442 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: an incredible freshman receiver. Okay, and that's fine. It's fine 443 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: for you to feel that way. This may be the 444 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: first game you watched them this year. Under no circumstances 445 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: can IOWA allow this game to be put on the 446 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: shoulders of Cade McNamara. He is not good enough at quarterback. 447 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil this game for you. I'm 448 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: sure our folks will do a great job broadcasting it. 449 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: But one of the spoiler alerts here is they have 450 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: got to make it a quicksand special. A lot of 451 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: times in these big point spread games. What we do 452 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: in the breakdown, as we say, if the game's really close, 453 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: if an upset could happen, how would it happen? Well, 454 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: they have to turn it into what memal would call 455 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: a quicksand special. That's very, very descriptive, just a way 456 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: to limit possessions, same way Kentucky did against Ole Miss 457 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: last week. And the thing about those games is you 458 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: realize when you're getting into them, just like you realize 459 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: Hoops to amongst us hasn't found ourselves sinking in quicksand 460 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: literally or fitiguratively in life and known. I don't think 461 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm in a good place, but I can't manage to 462 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: get out. It's like watching that horse and never ending story. 463 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: It's a tough tough thing to watch, just like it's 464 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: a tough tough thing to see your offense bogged down. 465 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: But it can happen. Iowa can do it, so Cad McNamara. 466 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: The whole point here is if Iowa is trying to 467 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: win this thing throwing the football. Cad McNamara versus three 468 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: FBS teams this year, averaging just over one hundred and 469 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: twelve yards passing per game, four point seven yards per 470 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: attempt passing. He's still not thrown for a touchdown. He's 471 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: thrown for two picks. It's bad. You and I know 472 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: it's bad. They know it's bad. He knows everyone knows 473 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: it's bad. So Caleb Johnson is the hope. That's the 474 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: hope here. He's averaging eight point four yards per rush. 475 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: He will not average that against Ohio State. But even 476 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: if he averages like five yards per rush, and you're 477 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: really really good defensively and can turn them over special 478 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: teams as a net win for you, yes, that could 479 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: give you a shot. Here. Number one is Caleb Johnson. 480 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: Then number two has to be let your pass defense 481 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: win the game for you. So Iowa defensively fourth against 482 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: the run. There are only sixty ninth against the pass. 483 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: So it may sound counterintuitive if I'm asking a unit 484 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: that's barely in the top seventies to win it for you. No, 485 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: it's not counterintuitive. I'm saying that's your only shot. Ohio 486 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: State's probably going to beat you either way. But your 487 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: only shot is to shut down the run, make them 488 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: throw the ball, which they'll probably do effectively, but you 489 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: got a lot better chance to turning it over if 490 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: they put it in the air. More case in point 491 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: and the b roll here Ohio State will have to 492 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: throw here that at least creates opportunity for you. Here's 493 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: the problem with using the whole Kentucky Ole Miss thing 494 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: last week. Ohio State's better than Old Miss first off, 495 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: and secondly, Kentucky's probably a little better than Iowa. So 496 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: there's probably a little more gap between these teams than 497 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: there was those teams last week. Not to mention, Ohio 498 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: State's been built a little bit differently than Ole Miss 499 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: has been built. It is a signal game for the 500 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: Ohio State offensive line. Though, this is the kind of 501 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: game where even if the home team wins, they could 502 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: win in a manner that's a little uglier than folks expected, 503 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: and there could be things exposed about the team in 504 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: a win. That happens all the time, So if that 505 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: happens with Ohio State, it would probably be offensive line 506 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: that has that happened to it. If it happens, Colin, 507 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: let's take a look at what the model thinks right now. 508 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: FanDuel's sitting at nineteen and a half Ohio State minus 509 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: nineteen and a half. The model is dead on the 510 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: money with FanDuel, we've got Ohio State minus nineteen. I 511 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: believe that there is a very very competitive game here. Well, 512 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: let me say a hard fought game. I don't think 513 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: there's going to be a long stretch in the second 514 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: half where you're scared Ohio State's gonna lose. Even if 515 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: the game could be a one or two score game, 516 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: I believe there will be a late tack on here 517 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: and Ohio State will actually find a way to win 518 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,719 Speaker 1: this game and cover. But understand, twenty six to six 519 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: get you a cover here. So that's a kind of 520 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: game that's not very esthetically pleasing. In fact, I don't 521 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: know what world this game would ever be aesthetically pleasing 522 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: in give me an Ohio State win and an Ohio 523 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: State cover. I've got no money writing on this one either. 524 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 1: I've got very low confidence on that when I think 525 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: the number is pretty much right. They're watching us in 526 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: Hot Springs, Arkansas, Denton, Texas. They're watching us in beautiful Alabaster, Alabama. 527 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: There's some great people in Alabaster. There're some not so 528 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: great people, one in particular that I'm thinking of in Alabaster, Alabama. Huh. Anyway, 529 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: let's move on. I hold in my hand a piece 530 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: of paper that has a matchup on it that worries me. 531 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: The matchup is Tennessee at Arkansas, Saturday, seven thirty Eastern 532 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: six thirty local time, kickoff on ABC. I am scared 533 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: for Tennessee. Not too proud to admit it. I'm putting 534 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: it out there right now. I'm scared for Tennessee because 535 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: there's a real world where Arkansas's five and zero. There 536 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: is a real world where that's true. The Oklahoma State game, 537 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: I still have no idea how they lost. And they 538 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: played A and M last week and that's always a 539 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: nip and tuck, back and forth game. And they found 540 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: a way to lose that one slash A and M 541 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: found a way to win it. But what did Memo 542 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: always say? Games are not played in the rear view mirror? 543 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: So don't let a team that has five and zero 544 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: potential about itself fool you into thinking they're just an 545 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: above five hundred team any given night, especially with home 546 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: crowd at your back. I mean, you know, Herbstreet and 547 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: Fowler are calling this game. It's getting the primetime treatment. 548 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: I am very very concerned. Okay, not scared. Maybe I'm 549 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: a little bit scared too. Tennessee's coming off a bye. 550 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you need to treat this thing like 551 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: it's a marquee game. I don't think they'll overlook this 552 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: at all. I'm just I'm mainly talking to people in 553 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: my social circle who I know good and well are 554 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: already talking about the Bama game in two weeks, and 555 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, they'll play Arkansas and Florida, don't you, boy, 556 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't it make their season to take a bite out 557 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: of you. Don't let it happen, guys. Tennessee is not 558 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: established enough where they can afford to start thinking that way. 559 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: I know it's fun to bathe in that orange kool aid, 560 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: but I mean you got to dry off for just 561 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: a second eventually. Two things that need to be corrected here. Now, 562 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: let's talk about how Arkansas actually does it. So Taylor 563 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: Green versus Texas A and M. So the Arkansas quarterback 564 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: last year or last week versus A and M. This 565 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: is not a typo. Jesse thirteen carries for six yards, 566 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: even with the sack yardage factored into college football. That's 567 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: not good enough. Absolutely not good enough. Da Quentinnin Jackson 568 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: ten carries for thirty seven yards. That's not good enough. 569 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: So one thing for certain, if that's the profile of 570 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: this Arkansas offense this Saturday night, it's a really, really 571 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: good and comfortable night for Tennessee. This has to be 572 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: a huge, one night only kind of energy game for Arkansas. 573 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: And if you don't know what I mean by that, 574 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: you really do. You just never heard it phrase that 575 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: way every week in this sport, much less every season. 576 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: Every week in this sport, you turn on a game 577 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: and there's a result slapping you in the face and 578 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: you're saying, where has this team been all year, or 579 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: you're saying, wow, that's actually what I kind of expected, 580 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: or you're saying, boy, I knew if this guy or 581 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: this unit played up to their potential, this was possible. 582 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: That's one night only energy. Most teams don't possess the 583 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: ability to play at a high level every week. Most 584 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: of them don't. There are some of them who play 585 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: at a high level four or five times a year. 586 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: There's this huge glob of teams, though, that are going 587 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: to turn in a random, a minus to a plus 588 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: performance on you, like once or twice a year, and 589 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna pull a big upset. They'll go right back 590 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: to losing the next week. So at the very least, 591 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: we need one night only energy from Arkansas here, preferably more. 592 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: Here's what concerns me, Colin. You got that quote from 593 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: Sam Pittman earlier in the week. So at his press conference, 594 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: which was yesterday. As I'm looking at it, Sam Pittman 595 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: not one to beat around the bush. He's talking about 596 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: his offense. He says, we got a confidence problem. We 597 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: have a quarterback that's not confident. There's times when he 598 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: can stand in the pocket and and there's one there, 599 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: and there's times when he stays in the pocket and 600 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: he gets hit, so probably in between, and we tried 601 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: a lot of quick passing game as well. It's talking 602 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: about last game. So basically, there's really no consistency or 603 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: confidence in what Taylor Green is feeling or seeing right now. 604 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: So that's where we are. If we're Arkansas. Tennessee eighth 605 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: in the country in defensive pressure rate. Arkansas might as 606 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: well pop the paper on this one. Tennessee eighth best 607 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: in the country at pressure in the quarterback Arkansas one 608 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: hundred and third in sacks allowed. Offensive line's not good 609 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: and they've been banged up, so they're really not good. 610 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: Tennessee's got a good run defense. They will force Arkansas 611 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: to throw the ball, and at that point, no one 612 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: has any idea what's going to happen. It could be great, 613 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: it could be horrific. That's Arkansas offense right now. Tennessee. 614 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: I will say this, if if you find Arkansas making 615 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: plays through the air, it's because Tennessee secondary is still 616 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: not been tested. We still think there could be vulnerability 617 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: back there, and we don't know because they hadn't faced 618 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: anyone including Oklahoma, that had any kind of capability of 619 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: testing it out. Now, we could be wrong about that. 620 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: That's the whole point in finding out about the structural 621 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: integrity of the dam. They got to have the water 622 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: pushed against it first. Sometimes it holds up, hopefully it 623 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: always does, but we have at least got to have 624 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: a competent guy throwing the ball against the secondary, and 625 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: we haven't had that so far. So this is the 626 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: kind of game where you make Nico throw it to win, 627 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: and there is a big chance that if you make 628 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: him throw it, he does beat you. But statistically, you 629 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: put yourself in a better position than just letting Tennessee 630 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: run it down your throat all night. You got to 631 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: count on that. Plus you got to count on what 632 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: we like to call some good old fashioned Petrino magic. 633 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: And if you look that up in Webster's trust me, 634 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: it has many, many different meanings. But on this night, 635 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: we just want to limit it to the football field. 636 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: Is it too much to ask? Let's take a look 637 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: at what the model thinks. The FanDuel number is pretty 638 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: big right now, especially to be going on the road. 639 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: FanDuel has Tennessee minus thirteen and a half. The Pate 640 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: State model only has Tennessee minus eleven and a half. 641 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: Now here's my thinking on this. There is a thing 642 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: called BVS in the Internet world that stands for a 643 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: battered Vall syndrome, and that is basically any Tennessee fan 644 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: that is of age who has lived through the past 645 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: twenty years, who understands how it feels emotionally to just 646 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: have your dreams dashed year after year after year, and 647 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: there is no uptick, just all bad, just terrible. That 648 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: part of your heart and your psyche does not go away. 649 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: Director Colin will tell you, big Tennessee guy, it doesn't 650 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: go away. And so no matter how good you feel, 651 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: no matter how great it felt that you did what 652 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: you did against Oklahoma and then you go to the 653 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: Morgan Wallen concert and then you got a bye week, 654 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: no matter how good you feel, it only takes a 655 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: few minutes for a good old fashioned BVS to creep 656 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: in the back of your mind. No, I didn't grow 657 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: up a Tennessee fan, so I don't have to deal 658 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: with it. I just picked Tennessee and if they lose, 659 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: I move on. But I think very highly of Tennessee 660 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: this year, and I think Arkansas is head of the 661 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: wrong direction. So if I'm right about Tennessee, then battered 662 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: vall syndrome shouldn't matter. If we're right about them being 663 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: a legit SEC and national title contender, then that means 664 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: this team's different than all the other teams that gave 665 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: you battered vall syndrome to begin with. So what we 666 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: have to do here is we have to see a 667 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: team go into an extremely hostile environment and have it 668 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: be hostile and have them take the opponent's best shot, 669 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: kind of like you did in Norman a couple of 670 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and you just withstand it. Anyway. It's not easy, 671 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: in fact, it will be very hard immunity, but you 672 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: withstand it, and then in the fourth quarter you pull 673 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: away and you win it by seventeen twenty points something 674 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: like that, and then you move on because that's what 675 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,959 Speaker 1: really really good to great teams do. As much as 676 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here warning everyone who will listen that I 677 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: think this week could be a vaultcan panic weekend, I 678 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: am going to pick Tennessee not to be victimized. I 679 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: think they'll win, and coming out of the by I 680 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: think they'll find a way to cover this number. And 681 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: that's a big number. And I am worried, but I'm 682 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: not scared. I'm not so scared that I'm gonna let 683 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: it talk me off of what I think is gonna 684 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: happen in this game. Give me Tennessee to win, give 685 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: me Tennessee to cover. Now you may hate that prediction, 686 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: but on a much more serious note, we're going to 687 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: do something here. So I told you Sunday night. I 688 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: don't have to tell you. Anyone who's looked at any 689 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: kind of news out of Appalachia, which is a very, 690 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: very large geographic area, knows that they were devastated by 691 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: the remnants of hurricane and then tropical storm and then 692 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: tropical depression Helene. It's been a disaster there. It's been 693 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: nothing less than their Hurricane Katrina. So those of you 694 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: in New Orleans, note that still lingers with you. Now. 695 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: Anyone who grew up on the coast down in Mississippi 696 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: and Louisiana, you know that still lingers with you. Now. 697 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: If you go through there and you know what you're 698 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: looking at, you can still see the effects of Katrina 699 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: on the Gulf Coat today. That's the way it'll be 700 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: in East Tennessee and portions of Florida and far East Georgia, 701 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: but especially Virginia, the mountains of North Carolina, South Carolina, 702 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: they're going through it right now. So we're going to 703 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: try and help out as best we can. Now. I 704 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: encourage you guys who are able to personally find ways 705 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: to help out here. The way we're doing it is 706 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: if you go to the Peate State store right now. 707 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: We've got I think three shirts already up. We're putting 708 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: two more up because we've been designing these today. One 709 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: hundred percent of the proceeds from those shirts are going 710 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: to disaster relief, so we're not keeping a penny from it. 711 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: And we've made one for Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, 712 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: and Virginia. We've expedited those those are in there now, 713 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: peytstatematerial dot Com, all the other stuff that you can 714 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: normally buys there, but we're not prioritizing that right now. 715 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: So we've bumped this right up to the top and 716 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: we're doing as much as we possibly can for a 717 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: lot of our friends who've been longtime viewers of the show, 718 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: but just citizens over there in general, because I think 719 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: the response has been piss poor and so we will 720 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: not so much complain about that because it's out of 721 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: our control. We will do whatever we can to help. 722 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: So peystatematerial dot com. Those shirts are there now. One 723 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: hundred percent of the proceeds, one hundred cents on every 724 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: dollar we'll go to disaster relief. All right, let's move 725 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: it on. Hate to have to talk about that, but 726 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: we've got to. Someone's got to JP Pole, brand new 727 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: JP Pole has dropped tonight. Here we are on a 728 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: Tuesday night in week six. What do we think, Well, 729 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: we know what the AP thinks. But these are not rankings. 730 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: These are power ratings. These are neutral field favorability numbers 731 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: that are spit at us by the model. And this 732 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: is just how we would stack teams up based on 733 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: how the model thinks they would be favored on a 734 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: neutral field if they played tomorrow. And I can tell 735 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: you controversy is about to unfold right here in the 736 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: top five. We've got a new number one team, but 737 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: it's not Alabama. We've got Ohio State at number one. 738 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: Georgia is still at number two. Alabama has bumped up 739 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: but only one spot. Alabama's at number three, Texas is 740 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 1: at four now, and Oregon's at five. Couple of things 741 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: you need to know. There is a four point gap 742 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: between these teams right now, very small gap. What we 743 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: just had is we just had a Georgia team that 744 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: was favored by about one or one and a half 745 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: points go to Alabama and they lost, and that implied 746 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: that they'd be about a four and a half point 747 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: favorite on a neutral field. That outcome did not shift 748 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: the gap between those teams four and a half points. 749 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: So Georgia wild still be a slight favorite over Alabama 750 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: on a neutral field today. They may play on a 751 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: neutral field down the road, so we'll see if the 752 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: time comes. Texas at four is interesting because they didn't 753 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: really drop in their power rating at all. Bama and 754 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: Georgia are just above them, like they just bumped up 755 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. So Oregans at five they're virtually unchanged. 756 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee's at six, nothing really changed on the power rating there. 757 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I know good and well, Jesse, you know goodwell. 758 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: Someone's going to come in the comments section and say, 759 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: how could we drop when we didn't play. The answer is, 760 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: you didn't. Your ratings the exact same as it was 761 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: last week. We just had movement around you. Miami's at 762 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: seven unchanged? Is the model in the tank for Miami? 763 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: Do we want to talk about that? Like, do we 764 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: want to start a conversation? Because I watched Miami the 765 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: other night. Now I was wholly unimpressed. Now, we do 766 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: know that everyone's got to play their worst game of 767 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: the year at some point, right, Maybe that was Miami's. 768 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they overlook Virginia Tech. Maybe all these things are true. 769 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: If that's true, we will see them shine on Saturday 770 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: against Cal in what is a conference game? Mind you, 771 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: We've got a team in Coral Gables, Florida, traveling to 772 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: Berkeley to play in a conference game. Fun times here 773 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,399 Speaker 1: in college football. It's all for the kids, though, it's 774 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: all for the kids. So USC's up three spots to 775 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 1: number eight, Clemson's at nine, Penn State is at ten. 776 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: The big takeaway from here is Clemson is now in 777 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: the aggregate about a point better than we had them 778 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: in the preseason. And remember they've got a huge loss, 779 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: a blowout loss baked into that now, So good on Dabbo, 780 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,760 Speaker 1: Good on Clemson. Maybe not going away so easily. Number 781 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: eleven through fifteen. I still think Notre Dame's a little high. 782 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: But the models got them at eleven. Ole Miss dropped 783 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 1: four spots to twelve. LSU is still thirteenth. Ole Miss 784 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: goes to LSU in a few weeks. By the way, 785 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: Kansas State is up two spots to fourteen. I like 786 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: where Kansas State is right now as a team. Louisville's fifteen. 787 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: They are unchanged now at sixteen, probably the most important 788 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 1: team in the country because it may very well be 789 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 1: your Big twelve champ. Nothing's wrong with the audio. I 790 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: just want to pause for effect. Iowa State potential future 791 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: Big twelve champ. I think I may have said big ten. 792 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 1: Big twelve champ is at sixteen. Kentucky is a massive riser. 793 00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: Kentucky jumped nine spots to number seventeen. We've got the 794 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: Georgia game, which wasn't an anomaly because now we got 795 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: the old miss game baked in as well. And Kentucky's 796 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 1: all the way up to number seventeen. Iowa is right there. 797 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: They're at eighteen A and M and Missouri nineteen and 798 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: twenty and they play each other this week, and so 799 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: what should we expect there? Well, as I told you, 800 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: the model thinks it's razor tight. We've got we got 801 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: a and m and Missouri right there next to each other. 802 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: We had a couple of matchups like that last week. 803 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: How about twenty one through twenty five, Utah is down 804 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: seven spots. Is Cam Rising alive? We don't know, will 805 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: he ever play again? We don't know. We cannot get 806 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: dependable quarterback information out of Salt Lake City, so we 807 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: have I mean, we have inserted the backup into the 808 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: profile of Utah right now. When Cam Rising gets back, 809 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 1: Utah would be bumped up, but we had to manually 810 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: downgrade because we don't know when the starting quarterback is 811 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: going to be back. Indiana coach sig got him at 812 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: number twenty two. Oklahoma unchanged at twenty three. Rutgers the 813 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: AP is cowards. They will not rank Rutgers, but we 814 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: don't want either because these aren't rankings. But we will 815 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:14,320 Speaker 1: power rate Rutgers number twenty four and any is everyone 816 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: listening to me, and I especially Colin unprofessionally, I want 817 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,720 Speaker 1: to touch the mic there. I want to make sure 818 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: that certain interests, certain people out there are listening to me. 819 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: We've got Boise State in the top twenty five. Mister 820 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: antig five over here has Boise in the top twenty five, 821 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: and you know what, good for us for being brave 822 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: enough to put the Broncos in the top twenty five. 823 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: There is to me, by far, the biggest takeaway on 824 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: this whole thing is there is not a lot of 825 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 1: separation in the top six. Really, Ohio to Ohio, State 826 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: to Tennessee. Not a lot of separation. So if you're 827 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 1: sitting here arguing someone's two spots lower, two spots too high, 828 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 1: there is no separation. In fact, if it makes you 829 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 1: feel any better, put Bama ahead of Georgia or put 830 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: Texas ahead of both of them. There's not much separation 831 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,760 Speaker 1: at all. Home field in the top six, home field 832 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: would make any of those teams a favorite over the other. 833 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: Let me put it that way. Now, I do think 834 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: that the odds market is going to disagree with me 835 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 1: on that. Like I think at FanDuel right now, you 836 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: could go look at Bama, Tennessee, Bama, even at Kneeland 837 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: slight favorite. The model may disagree with that. And you 838 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: know what, in a couple of weeks, the time will 839 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 1: come for us to break that game down. In the meantime, 840 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: let's get right back to business as it relates to 841 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: this week. Ole Miss is going to South Carolina to 842 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: open October. Can you think of a worse place to 843 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: be desperation mode? You just lost to Kentucky. The calendar 844 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: has flipped from September to October, which is just a 845 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: nightmare to have to go into WILLIAMS. Brice Stadium during 846 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: And then on top of all that, South Carolina is 847 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: off a buy. So it looks like all of the 848 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: signs are there, all of the hallmarks are there for 849 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: an upset, except that maybe they're not. What a tease. 850 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: By the way, Ole miss stat profile just shattered last week. 851 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: It's not the craziest concept in the world to think 852 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: that a team looked really good on paper, but they 853 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: hadn't played anyone. So they played semi quality competition and 854 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: got exposed a little bit. That's happened before. Okay, so 855 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: everything plummeted. They were four sixteen on third down, they 856 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: allowed four sacks, three point two yards per rush. Just 857 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,479 Speaker 1: they were bad and Kentucky was the reason they were bad. 858 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,959 Speaker 1: So Ole Miss I think now goes on the road, 859 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: and it's the first true road environment they will have 860 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: been in. All due respect to Wake Forest, I mean 861 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: all due respect, They're going on They're going into Williams 862 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: Brice this weekend. It's a three thirty game, so people 863 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: will be fired up. This is the best pass rush 864 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: they will have faced, So we get to see ole 865 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 1: Miss's offensive line, hostile environment, best pass rush they faced. 866 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: That's one thing. The next thing is South Carolina has 867 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,919 Speaker 1: to run the ball, and ole Miss has the number 868 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: one run defense in the country. And this is where 869 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: this game could get out of whack in favor of 870 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: the Rebels, because if South Carolina can't run the ball 871 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: effectively here they are one hundred and twenty sixth in 872 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: sacks allowed, and ole Miss is number two in the 873 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 1: country at garnering sacks. So as much as we may 874 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: focus rightfully so on South Carolina's pass rush, Ole Miss 875 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: pretty good at getting the quarterback as well. Now the 876 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: flip side of that is, Josh, maybe just maybe they've 877 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: gotten to the quarterback against inferior teams as well. Maybe 878 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: that's that's why we play the games, obviously, but I 879 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: think there are plays to be made against that ole Miss. 880 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: Secondary question becomes what do we have at quarterback with 881 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: South Carolina Leonora Sellers his help is still a matter 882 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,399 Speaker 1: of great concern around there. You know, the last time 883 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: you saw him, he was hurt and he was out, 884 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 1: and then they had the bye week. Will he be back? 885 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: Sounds kind of like yes from Shane Beemer, but we 886 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: don't know for sure, and also how good is he 887 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: when we get him back? Rocket Sanders running back. They're 888 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 1: also kind of in wait and see mode on him 889 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,320 Speaker 1: as well, So I think the ole Miss defense matches 890 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,719 Speaker 1: up well here. I actually like the matchup for ole Miss. 891 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: There's a reason why they're a nine and a half 892 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: point favorite here. They need to spread the ball around. 893 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: Like they're passing profile heavily tilted towards one player, so 894 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: they need to spread it around a little bit more. 895 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 1: Lsu threw the ball fairly effectively against South Carolina, so 896 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: they need to do the same here. Colin, let's take 897 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 1: a look at what the model thinks. The fan dual 898 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 1: number right now is ole Miss minus nine and a half. 899 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: The model has ole Miss minus nine and a half. 900 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 1: You know the immense amounts of respect in admiration I 901 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: have for South Carolina football, But during October, even if 902 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: you hate him, you know they're not to be trifled with. 903 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: But I think somehow Ole Miss is going to find 904 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: a way to go in here and win. I'm talking 905 00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: about a nine and a half point favorite in these terms, 906 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: some way lankiff and can't lose this game. Old Miss, 907 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,479 Speaker 1: can't lose this game. Just walk yourself down that road 908 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: for a second. This is a team in Oxford that 909 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 1: thinks it's the best version of itself they've had in forever. 910 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: This was a team with SEC championship playoff contention, consideration 911 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,399 Speaker 1: about itself, all that stuff. Colin, you got, you got 912 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: Old Miss a schedule. I think you probably already threw 913 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, do you understand? Let me just remind you, guys, 914 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 1: nothing's changed about the expectation there. So in August, the 915 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: way you looked at this, you know you did. You 916 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,439 Speaker 1: looked and said, all right, Furman, Middle Tennessee. Wait, Georgia Southern, 917 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: that's four. O. Kentucky at home now that's five. And 918 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 1: oh they go to South Carolina. That's already middle of 919 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: the season. South Carolina didn't have the depth. That's six, 920 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 1: and oh that first test will be at LSU. That's 921 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: the way you looked at it. If they've already got 922 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 1: two conference losses before they go to LSU, and that 923 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: game at LSU, let me remind you, is their seventh 924 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 1: consecutive game, and LSU will be coming off a buye 925 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 1: at home to welcome them in. They would be in 926 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,399 Speaker 1: a position no one thought that'd bem. They can't lose 927 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: this game. Ole Miss is going to find a way 928 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 1: to win it. I think South Carolina will keep it 929 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: close enough to cover. I think ole Miss will find 930 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: a way to win it. You can right now go 931 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: to FanDuel and you can wager on that game.

Don't think for a second I'm 976 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 1: overlooking that one. But we're not a very SEC centric 977 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 1: show here, as you guys know, so we mostly focus 978 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: outside of the South. I'm saying that mockingly. Let me 979 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 1: address something. This is going to be very unprofessional. So 980 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: you guys know what happened last weekend. Last weekend, we 981 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: had what was called a main event card, and in 982 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: pro wrestling, that means the main event is the only 983 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: good match, and the rest of the undercard is kind 984 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: of it. Last week in college football terms, that's what 985 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 1: we had. We had a marquee mega main event. It 986 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 1: was Georgia versus Alabama. And for those of us who 987 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: are diehard fans of the sport, of course we cared 988 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,879 Speaker 1: about all the other games, but a more casual mind, 989 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: at a P two P three style fam to use 990 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 1: industry terminology, they cared about Georgia Obama. The next biggest 991 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: story in the sport last weekend, I would say it 992 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 1: was probably Kentucky over ol Miss. So I did the 993 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 1: show Sunday night. I gave a good twenty five to 994 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,240 Speaker 1: thirty minutes to Georgia Alabama. Our audience retention never stopped rising, 995 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 1: which is just indicative and reaffirms that we did it 996 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: the right way. Then I did not even put Kentucky 997 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 1: Ole Miss second. I put UCF in Colorado second. So 998 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 1: because I'm thinking to myself, I don't want to stack 999 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: the first forty five minute of the show with all 1000 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 1: SEC even though technically those are the two best stories. 1001 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,720 Speaker 1: So I even anti SEC the show. Well, it didn't matter. 1002 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: Some people complained. Some people said, man, this it's too SEC. 1003 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,400 Speaker 1: Heavy tonight and you put Oklahoma Auburn in there like 1004 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 1: it's too sec heavy and so friendly. But sternly I responded, 1005 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 1: how would you have stacked the show? Let's just pretend 1006 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: you got yourself a national college football show and it's 1007 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: not a charity, it's a business, so you actually want 1008 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 1: to keep people tuned in? How would you have stacked 1009 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 1: the show? So I'll ask any any one of you 1010 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,879 Speaker 1: who complained about that. I haven't responded to all of them, 1011 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 1: how would you have stacked that show? Folks thought you 1012 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 1: took talk a little too long about Georgia Obama. It 1013 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,720 Speaker 1: was the game of the year, the game of several years. 1014 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 1: How do you not go long winded on Georgia Obama? 1015 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 1: What it's not. I'm trying to be mature about this. 1016 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 1: We didn't handle that the wrong way. That's what I'm 1017 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: trying to tell you. Now, there is going to be 1018 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,720 Speaker 1: a reality that a lot of us have to face. 1019 00:51:58,400 --> 00:51:59,839 Speaker 1: And you can believe me or not when I tell 1020 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 1: you that I don't like stacking a ton of sec 1021 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 1: stuff in the show, but there is a reality, and 1022 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, the Big Ten as well. And 1023 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: that is the way the sport's constructed right now. It's 1024 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,720 Speaker 1: gonna be SEC heavy, and it's gonna be Big ten heavy. 1025 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: Anybody who's doing national content on this stuff is gonna 1026 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 1: have a disproportionate lean towards SEC and Big ten content. 1027 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 1: I actually don't like it. I don't like it, but 1028 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:26,879 Speaker 1: as sure as you can say, well, if you don't 1029 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: like it, do something about it, I also am going 1030 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 1: to do what you tell me to do, and with 1031 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: your viewership habits, you guys, tell us plain as day 1032 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 1: what you're interested in and what you're not interested in. 1033 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 1: The data is totally incontrovertible. Sometimes I will go against 1034 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 1: the grain on it, like you better believe. If Iowa 1035 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: State wins the Big twelve championship, dude, we will have 1036 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: a marathon about Iowa State. And I don't care if 1037 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: any of you watch it or not, because that's just 1038 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 1: selfish me looking out for me. But outside of that, 1039 00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm kind of looking out for you guys and what 1040 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,280 Speaker 1: you tell me you want want with your viewership habits. 1041 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 1: So that explains why we stacked the Sunday show the 1042 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 1: way we did. I am told there's a week coming 1043 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,799 Speaker 1: up pretty soon where Ohio State plays Oregon on the 1044 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 1: same night as Penn State plays USC and I just 1045 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: have a sneaking suspicion that it'll be a big ten 1046 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 1: heavy show the next Sunday. Just a guess. I could 1047 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 1: be wrong, just to guess. Michigan at Washington this Saturday, well, well, 1048 00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: well seven thirty East Coast time, four thirty local kick 1049 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 1: on NBC. I got flooded with a request about this game. 1050 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 1: I got flooded with questions about the game. Here's the question. 1051 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 1: Sounds a little something like this, why are we an 1052 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 1: underdog at Washington? Yes, yes, that's right. Washington is a 1053 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,760 Speaker 1: two and a half point favorite at home against Michigan. 1054 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 1: Some people call this a National Championship game rematch. In 1055 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 1: terms of logos, it is virtually none of the players 1056 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 1: and coaches are still there. So I didn't even think 1057 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,359 Speaker 1: of this game as a National title game rematch until 1058 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: I was doing a NHQ hit today and Amanda Garris said, Hey, 1059 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 1: national title rematch, and I was like, oh, that's right. Wow. 1060 00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: How are you a dog to Washington? Is what my 1061 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 1: Michigan folks are asking. Well, i'll tell you will Rogers 1062 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,840 Speaker 1: is kind of sort of back the quarterback that you 1063 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,840 Speaker 1: probably last remember as being at Mississippi State under the 1064 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: late Mike Leach. He didn't disappear. He's at Washington and 1065 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,399 Speaker 1: he's playing pretty good this year. Seventy four percent completion guy, 1066 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: averaging two hundred and seventy pass yards per game, nine 1067 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,840 Speaker 1: point two per attempt, ten touchdown passes, no interceptions. The 1068 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 1: problem is they are twenty first in yards per game. 1069 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,759 Speaker 1: Now that doesn't sound like a problem. It's not. I'm 1070 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 1: not done. They're twenty first in yards per game. They're 1071 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 1: eighty ninth in scoring. Washington can't finish the drill. They 1072 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 1: can't finish drives. They're eighty second in the country on 1073 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,840 Speaker 1: third down convert they're one hundred and sixteenth in fourth 1074 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,919 Speaker 1: down conversion. So they can get to the door. They 1075 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 1: just can't kick it in or they haven't they haven't 1076 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: well enough. That's Michigan's route. That's it. That's it. Let 1077 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,400 Speaker 1: them do whatever they want to between the twenties, but 1078 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,319 Speaker 1: you get them down there and you turn them over 1079 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: a couple of times on downs. They're not good kicking either, 1080 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: and that's your route to win here. If you do it, 1081 00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:28,400 Speaker 1: you'll win. Alex Orgy quarterback there at Michigan thirty two 1082 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: pass yards versus USC eighty six, so he more than 1083 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,640 Speaker 1: doubled the output against the USC last week and still 1084 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,760 Speaker 1: did at top one hundred yards against Minnesota. They cannot 1085 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,759 Speaker 1: let Washington flip the script here. Okay, Colston Lovelan is 1086 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 1: Michigan's leading receiver, He's their tight end. This is a 1087 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 1: mind blowing, bonkers level number that I'm about to give you, 1088 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:56,720 Speaker 1: but it's true. Colston Loveland tight end for Michigan, more 1089 00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,799 Speaker 1: receiving yards than the next four guys combined, and he's 1090 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,839 Speaker 1: missed one and a half games. So when I tell 1091 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 1: you it's Colston Loveland or just run it and hope 1092 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: for the best, I really mean there is no other 1093 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,439 Speaker 1: option here. Washington struggled against the run. That's really good 1094 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 1: news for Michigan. Rutgers ran it for one hundred and 1095 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,399 Speaker 1: eighty four on them. The game plan from Michigan would 1096 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,759 Speaker 1: be very similar here to what Rutgers did. Washington has 1097 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 1: allowed nine runs of twenty plus yards. So Khalil Mullins, 1098 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 1: who is the best tailback on that team for Michigan, 1099 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,319 Speaker 1: he has been all year. This has got to be 1100 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 1: his game. It's got to be Michigan red zone defense. 1101 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,239 Speaker 1: It's got to be that kind of day for him. 1102 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 1: Special teams edge Michigan, it's got to be that kind 1103 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,359 Speaker 1: of day. This is Michigan's first time leaving home under 1104 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 1: this new coaching staff, first time this year leaving home 1105 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: cross country flight. I don't know what that actually matters, 1106 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 1: but I'm just gonna say it because it's a reality. 1107 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:55,320 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. All this stuff about not finishing drives 1108 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,400 Speaker 1: that matters until it doesn't. So again, the college football 1109 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,919 Speaker 1: rule is, you're looking for the snap week, You're looking 1110 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 1: for the click week. And Washington has been doing a 1111 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,359 Speaker 1: lot of good things. When it finally snaps into place, 1112 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,800 Speaker 1: and it could happen against Michigan when it finally snaps 1113 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,880 Speaker 1: into place. They don't need to score forty five, you know, 1114 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 1: if you can, if you can guarantee twenty four offensive points, 1115 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 1: you take those odds. If you're Washington, Colin, Let's take 1116 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: a look at what the model thinks, Fandel right now, 1117 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 1: is Washington minus two and a half? Model agrees, we 1118 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 1: got Washington winning the game by two. I think they're 1119 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna find a way to win the game. It would 1120 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 1: look like an upset, but it would not be an 1121 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 1: upset number ten team in the country against unranked Washington. 1122 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: They're a dog, and depending on game script here, obviously 1123 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,840 Speaker 1: this could shift violently one way or the other. I 1124 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 1: think Will Rogers is gonna find enough, and I think 1125 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,440 Speaker 1: that they're gonna find a way to win this game 1126 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 1: in home field is going to matter, and that is 1127 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 1: the most them in South Carolina, two of the most 1128 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 1: underrated home fields in the country, and Michigan still got 1129 00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 1: the fifth best odds to win the Big Ten. I 1130 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 1: think that inverts a little bit. Not that Washington's going 1131 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,600 Speaker 1: to challenge for this thing, but I think if if 1132 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: Will Rogers can just give me enough, I think somehow, 1133 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,200 Speaker 1: some way, Washington finds a way to win that thing 1134 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: and cover all right. Hopefully we didn't whiff on every 1135 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 1: one of those, but I do think a volcanic Saturday 1136 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: is on the horizon.
