But it's very rare that the NFL 20 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: has to share headlines with college football. Right once in 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: a while, when you get to the semi finals of 22 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 1: the playoff. Okay, yeah, but today, in the last twenty 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: four hours, is one of those days because of the 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: hecknicness and the craziness of what we saw with the 25 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 1: final college football playoff poll that came out, leaving Notre 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: Dame out Miami and Notre Dame flip flopping when neither 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: team played. James Madison is in, Tulane is in. Duke 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: does not get in even though they won, they have 29 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: five losses. Alabama somehow finds a way to get in. 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: They get blown out in the conference championship game, doesn't matter. 31 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: It has been all sorts of epic fails for college 32 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: football in the last twenty four hours. 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: Right, But the one. 34 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: Sympathetic subject, at least up until today was no Tre Dame. Right, you, 35 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: Notre Dame incredibly sympathetic. Right, Everybody felt bad they got 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: left out because clearly, look, in no world does anybody 37 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: think James Madison should be in the playoff over Notre Dame. 38 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 5: No. 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 4: I mean, look, they were I think either the fourth 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 4: or fifth favorite in terms of betting odds as of 41 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 4: last week. In terms of just what the team is 42 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 4: and how they're constructed. They've got a Heisman finalist in Love, Right, 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 4: all of those things coming to this in terms of 44 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 4: sympathetic figures, what you said with. 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: Notre Dame being a team that the two losses and 46 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: look your two laws. You lost to Miami. I get 47 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: the Miami had to get in over them Alabama getting in, 48 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: that's a thing. But you want the best twelve teams. 49 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: Best twelve teams didn't get in, no matter how you 50 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: want to cut it into. Best twelve teams did not 51 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: get in. Because you decided we're gonna do this, then 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna take the top five the conference winners. Okay, 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: Tulane and James Madison. It's really difficult. But Notre Dame 54 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: had all the sympathy, right, Notre Dame had all the 55 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: sympathy after it came out. How does Notre Dame not 56 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: get in? I don't understand. As I said, it would 57 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: have been a great TV show to have like presidential 58 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: debate style Freeman and Krystal ball and debor all debating 59 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: with a moderator town hall who should get in and 60 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: who shouldn't get in? The play right, That would have 61 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: been a great show. 62 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 4: Remember all those weeks ago we were talking about whether 63 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: Calin de Bor was gonna get himself fired. 64 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: But after today, Notre Dame and not only has gone 65 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: full heel. It's been the biggest turn probably since Anakin Skywalker, 66 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: and at least it took Anakin a little bit to 67 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: go from Hey, I'm the hero, I'm gonna save the 68 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna save the Force to Wow, dude, this guy's 69 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: Darth Vader Man. 70 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: Sorry spoiler, we got to get rid of this guy like. 71 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: This is an incredible heel turn by Notre Dame in 72 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: a very short amount of time. 73 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: It's like Grandpa and Willie Wonka. Oh, you like him 74 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: until you don't. Ah, he realized he's evil. So everybody 75 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 4: feels bad for Notre Dame. Right, feels bad for Notre Dame. 76 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 4: Then what happens, Well, last night, Notre Dame says, no, 77 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 4: we're not going to a game. Not gonna do it. 78 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: They want to sit here. Insite players would opt out, 79 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the same. Yeah, forget about the seniors 80 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: who play their whole career. Yeah, you don't want to 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: go to a bowl game for them. No, I'm holding 82 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: my breath because I'm upset. Okay, fine, you should probably 83 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: go to a bowl game. It's a lot of these 84 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: guys last chance to play football. But no, you want 85 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: to play politics. 86 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: I get it. I get it. You're mad at. 87 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: ESPN because ESPN did nothing but hate on Notre Dame 88 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: and all the things that have gone on, and you 89 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: don't want them in and you're replaying games where they lost. 90 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: All the last time. All right, all right? 91 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: Then today you get ad Pete Bavaqua on The Dan 92 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: Patrick Show and the two things that he let go. 93 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 3: You're like, are you kidding me? Bavaqua says that. 94 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: The decision for next year has kind of already been 95 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: made in that they've received assurances that if they're a 96 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: top twelve team next year, they're in the playoff no 97 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: matter what. 98 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: Oh wait, oh really, all that must be notic Is 99 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: this a handshake deal is? 100 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 4: Or is this you just putting it into the atmosphere 101 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 4: to see what no committee member wants to try to 102 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 4: refute it. 103 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: We're elitist, we're no Tre Dame. We're better than you 104 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: and we know it. They're the Globo Jim of college football. 105 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: We're better than you and we know it. Why Why 106 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: wouldn't Ohio State get that? Why doesn't Michigan get that? 107 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 4: I think that's part of the reason that some of 108 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 4: the sympathy might have been tempered. 109 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: We want. We don't want to join a conference. 110 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: We don't want to play a conference championship game, but 111 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: we want to get We want to be judged differently 112 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: than every other school. 113 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 3: Right, We're not to Dame. We're elitist and we know it. 114 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: Right, So that's enough to make you go wow, man, 115 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: come on, dude, you live in reality. 116 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: You know we don't want to play another game. 117 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: We still want to be a be independent. And then 118 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: Bavaqua just does a one eighty on it when he 119 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: tells Dan Patrick how upset he was that the ACC 120 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: who was there conference partner in a. 121 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: Lot of sports. 122 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: But wait, I thought, you want to be judged by 123 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: yourself without joining a conference and get an assurance to 124 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: get in. No, no, no, now they want to be part 125 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: of the ACC, because now Bavaqua is very upset at 126 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: how the ACC pushed other schools over Notre Dame when 127 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: it came to the arguing that was done in the 128 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: last week. 129 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 6: I have tremendous respect for Miami, you know, great team, 130 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 6: great school, but we were mystified by the actions of 131 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 6: the conference to attack you know, their biggest really business 132 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 6: partner in football and a member of their conference. In 133 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 6: twenty four of our other sports. I wouldn't be honest 134 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 6: with you if I didn't say that they have certainly 135 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 6: done permanent damage to the relationship between the conference in 136 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 6: Notre Dame. 137 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: Okay, so Notre Dame is upset that the ACC pushed 138 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: their own schools ahead of Notre Dame and who should 139 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: be included in the playoff? Just understand, Oh, we're pushing 140 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: Miami or are other schools over you? 141 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 3: You're upset about that. 142 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: You're upset that you put out Did ACC put out 143 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: a tweet that of course they're going to back their school, right? 144 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: I didn't understand like mystified, an attacked or whatever else, 145 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: you know, talking about the replay of the game. 146 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: It's your network. It's the big moment for your network. Now. 147 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 4: Do we can argue about how they handled the tiebreaker 148 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 4: and all this stuff that could have solved all of 149 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 4: these mysteries, But that's not for twenty twenty five. In 150 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 4: this case, you have a full partner. You have a 151 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: member school of your conference in all sports, you know, 152 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 4: and including the important one of what's that one football 153 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 4: to where everybody gets a piece of a really sweet, juicy, 154 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 4: glorious oversized pie. 155 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: Whereas if you get in. 156 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: Oversized pie okay. Whereas if you get in I get nothing. 157 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 4: I get to say, hey, they're part of the track 158 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 4: and field championships for the conference. Later on fotball, I 159 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: get nothing. Ye I get the well then on again, 160 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 4: off again relationship they have in those other twenty four sports, 161 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 4: not including football. So yeah, the idea that I'm propping 162 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 4: up a resume that includes what's that, Oh yeah, beating 163 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 4: you get you mad, get over yourselves. 164 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: When I saw this, this is where I said, you 165 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: know what, now, I want Notre Dame to get left 166 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: out of everything. 167 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: I heard it live and just want to started laughing. 168 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: I want them to get left out of that. I 169 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: want them to get left out of field hockey. I 170 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: want to get left out of soccer. I want them 171 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: to get left out of pickleball. I get left out 172 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: of everything. They partner with the ACC and right because clearly, 173 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: you know what they want to give you something a 174 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: little bit different. They want out of this agreement with 175 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: the ACC. 176 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 4: Right. 177 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: They want out of this because they want to be 178 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: able to partner with a conference that has a future, 179 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: and the ACC but they have a future. Who I 180 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: don't know, man, they need to be a little bit more, 181 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more selfish, a little bit more SEC 182 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: and big ten. Likely you may be upset with the 183 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: big ten in the SEC and how much they talk 184 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: about how important they are and everybody else can go 185 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: kick rocks, but the ACC needs a little bit of that. 186 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: They need to Hey, we got some big teams, man, 187 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: We got Miami in Florida State and Clemson. We're big 188 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: boys too, man. They need a little bit of that, 189 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: right And. 190 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 4: I also don't have. Some of it goes back to 191 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 4: the tie breaking whatever else is knowing that the landscape 192 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 4: is dominated from immediate perspective, coverage, powerhouse teams, all that 193 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: by the big ten at SEC. You need to do 194 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 4: everything you can in your power to protect your little 195 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 4: fief down right, and make sure you're fortified that when 196 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 4: you're being compared, contrasted, included or not, you put yourself 197 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 4: in the best position. And that's where they have failed 198 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 4: with the look ahead and foresight in the conference. 199 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: They I don't know what kind of future the ACC has, 200 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: and no tre Dame doesn't. So this is also a 201 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: shoehorn into Hey, we want to get out of this 202 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: agreement now for whatever reason, we want to get out. 203 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 3: We want to get out of this. 204 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: But mainly it's it's just I saw this, I said, 205 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: this is such. This is Notre Dame on brand to 206 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: a t, where it's we are better than all of 207 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: you and we don't care. We are elitist, we are 208 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: above the fray, and we want it how we want it. 209 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: We don't want to play nice with anybody. We don't 210 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: want to say, hey, we can all get rich here. No, no, no, no, 211 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: we want everything. And really they want to be part 212 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: of a conference, but now they don't want to be 213 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: part of it. We want to be part of a conference. 214 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: We want to be part here and get all this, 215 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: but now we're mad at you. But when it comes 216 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: to being part of a conference, no, no, we don't 217 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: want to actually join a conference to play a conference 218 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: championship game. We want to be able to just be 219 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: judged and get a berth in the playoffs without having 220 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: to worry about that like they want. This is so 221 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: incredibly outlandish behavior that I don't know that they live 222 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: in reality, right, Like Notre Dame. 223 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, Notre Dame is awesome. 224 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: If Notre Dame was really that big of a draw, 225 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: If Notre Dame was that great. They would have found 226 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: a way in. They would have found a way in 227 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: over a couple. 228 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 3: Of those teams. 229 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: Right, So I think Notre Dame is looking at their 230 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: at Lansco or we really as popular? We really that team? 231 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: Are we really that guy? But they think are and 232 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: they want to act that way. And I'm sorry, but 233 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm done with that. I'm done with Notre Dame. We 234 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: want to be independent all but oh we kind of 235 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: want to join, but only when it benefits us. They 236 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: are in it for nobody but themselves, and they're over 237 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: the top with it. 238 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 3: Right. 239 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: All of the schools are like Michigan's in it for themselves, 240 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: Buyer State, it is, Alabama is. But when they're so 241 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: over the top and in your face about it, yeah, 242 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: it rubs me the wrong way. So yeah, I want 243 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: to see them get left out of everything. Now, left 244 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: out of everything. We're above everything else in college football? 245 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: Why not just say, hey, next year, if we're in 246 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: the top twelve, give us a national championship. 247 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 3: Why should we even have to play those games? 248 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: Why we should have to play Ohio State or Texas 249 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: in some kind we no, no, no, not we We 250 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: had a tough enough sky. 251 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 3: We played Navy. 252 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, come on, we played Syracuse, We played 253 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: some of these tough teams. Just make us a national 254 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: If we finish in the top twelve, we're the national champions. 255 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 3: Just what, just say, why don't you want that? It's 256 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 3: just laughable. 257 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 4: You want to be independent, and with that comes is 258 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 4: fraught with some issues. Now you look at the composition 259 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 4: of these committees that are making these decision. You got 260 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 4: a couple of people that are football people and the 261 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 4: rest are lobbyists for lack of a better term. Right, 262 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 4: they're trying to figure out how things work best for 263 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 4: the conference with which they're affiliated, which means you need 264 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 4: to see it at that table, and you do because well, 265 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 4: Marcus Freeman was on the Today Show the other day 266 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 4: doing his stump speech, but VAK was on with Dan 267 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 4: Patrick in the morning giving his you know, crime a river. 268 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 4: You might as well have had a guy with a 269 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 4: violin behind him as he did it and started talking 270 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: tough about the conference and everything else. 271 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 3: It's like you're not in it. 272 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 4: So their job is to stand for their conferences as 273 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 4: everybody was in that building, which is why you're always 274 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 4: going to have all these issues. And it's going to 275 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 4: be fraught with controversy. He's definite a perfect system. You 276 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 4: had it in terms of the numbers, but you couldn't argue. 277 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 4: You then wanted to argue about coefficients and how that 278 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 4: worked out. Right, There's no perfect solution. There's always going 279 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 4: to be problem unless you go undefeated. Just don't get 280 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 4: to that point. Don't let it go to the because 281 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: as soon as you do, it's done. And in this case, 282 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 4: when it got muddy, you know, you got you had 283 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 4: the opportunity to go to the trump card, which was 284 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 4: always Now we compare them side to side, head to head, 285 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 4: and you get left out and that's the end of it. 286 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: But all of it brought on by the fact that 287 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 4: the independence and the schedule, and we can do all 288 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 4: of that. 289 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: You lost the two. 290 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 4: Games off the front and by a total of four points, 291 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 4: and I would argue, yeah, you're one of the top 292 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 4: teams in the country. 293 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, this is the way. 294 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 4: It's fuzzy math, as we love to say on the show. 295 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 3: To where you lose. 296 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: Now, I will say this positive for Notre Dame because 297 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: this is a positive for the rest of college football. 298 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: As I always say when something big, controversial, happens to 299 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: one of the big movers and shakers in a game, 300 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: a popular team. That's when we get changed is effected. 301 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: Right when we got instant replaying Major League Baseball, when 302 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: the Yankees were involved in a game where a home 303 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: run went off the foul pole and it was we 304 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: could go back and look at it again. Hey, and 305 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: if all the Yankees we got changed, right, no tre 306 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: Dame getting left out of the playoff. We are one 307 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: hundred percent going to a sixteen team playoff next year. 308 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: All the difficulties that college football had this year, all 309 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: the different conference commissioners. For some reason, I don't know 310 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: how people can't get on board with the fact that 311 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: way we can all make more money with more games 312 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: and more teams in the playoff. I don't know how, 313 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: but anyway, that's reality. No tre Dame getting left out. 314 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: They will magically, they will wave a magic wand and 315 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: they will magically find a way to settle all their 316 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: grievances and say, hey, guess what, sixteen teams in the 317 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: playoff next year, So this doesn't happen again. 318 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 4: Well, to be fair, they've already evidently been guaranteed in 319 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 4: play exactly. 320 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: But so this doesn't happen, and what if Notre Dame 321 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: is fourteen next year? Right, But just because like when 322 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: it happens to the big teams, you get changed. If 323 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: this happened to Texas Tech, if this happened to Wisconsin, 324 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: and this happened to even a team like Auburn or no, 325 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: it's not happening, but it happens in Nore Dame and 326 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: it's so front and center, and they've they've sucked all 327 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: the oxygen out of the story because it's Notre Dame. 328 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: We will get changed. That will happen next year. It 329 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: will be an easy decision. It's not gonna be well, 330 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna look at sixteen. We're gonna see if it 331 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: works for us. It's gonna be one day you're gonna 332 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: wake up sources NCAA to go to sixteen teams.

Look, we get a little bit 725 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: more NFL coming up in a minute, But look, today 726 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: it's going to This is not gonna be the end 727 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: of the story because the controversy surrounding the college football 728 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: Playoff and how awful done it was is going to 729 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: continue to evolve over the next coming days until we 730 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: get to the games. But I don't think there's anybody 731 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: that could deny that this is an absolute epic fail 732 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: top to bottom. You know, you've decided to let teams 733 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: in that aren't part of the top twelve, Notre Dame 734 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: getting left out, Notre Dame Miami flipping when neither of 735 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: them played last week. It's it's just done so hamhandedly 736 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: by the College FOOTBA Playoff committee. And what I really 737 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: had a hard time understanding was a number of people 738 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: in the last twenty FROs that were completely taken aback 739 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: and then shocked by. 740 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 4: This because it was just a matter of what the issue. 741 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: When we previewed this last week, I said, you know what, 742 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: I don't think people are understanding just how crazy of 743 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: a blank show this is going to be. Because college 744 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: football is a sport with no rules. There are no 745 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: rules in college football. There's no ruling governing body. It's 746 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: just conferences making their own decisions. There are no rules. 747 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: N il is here transfer Portal era, there are no rules. 748 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: So in a sport with no rules, do you really 749 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: think we're gonna get Hey, the College Wall Playoff is 750 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: gonna be done nice and neat and tidy. 751 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 3: Now, uh yeah, not so much. This is completely expected. 752 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: You should have expected it that it was going to 753 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: be this kind of a mess because the sport has 754 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: no rules. 755 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 4: Well, no guardrails, no guidelines, and you're in a new forum. 756 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 4: So you're also not able to rely on years upon 757 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 4: years of precedent to say, well, this is how we've 758 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 4: done thing, except for the fact normally, when you've lost 759 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 4: a conference championship game most of the time, virtually all 760 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 4: of the time, you lose at least one or two 761 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 4: slots in the rankings. So as soon as Alabama showed 762 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 4: up at old number nine when they did the reveal, 763 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 4: It's like, oh boy, here we go. So but given 764 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 4: all everything else that transpired thereafter, they slipped out the 765 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 4: back door without Nria mention at this point because it 766 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 4: becomes the discussion of the rest of the cluster. Look, 767 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 4: you got only a couple of football people. Everybody else 768 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 4: is a lobbyist, which means now it's becomes the one 769 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 4: of the great arguments that I'm sure we'll get plenty 770 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 4: of stories. Well, they made a really well reason well 771 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 4: impassioned case here there because they did the break glass 772 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 4: in case of emergency. The head to head was always there, 773 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 4: and they waited until they actually had to play that 774 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 4: card before they actually did so, even the flip flopping there, 775 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 4: are we really that shot? 776 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: No, you shouldn't be this is this is what college again. 777 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: If you don't like college football, you wait five minutes. Again, 778 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: there are no rules to this sport. So you should 779 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: have seen that it was gonna be this much of 780 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: a tire fire coming from a mile. I didn't think 781 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 1: that was that much of a look at it. Look, 782 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: we're ahead of the curve all the time on the show. 783 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: I didn't think that was that much out of the curve. 784 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: I thought this is something. Oh yeah, yeah, I know, 785 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. 786 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 4: This goes back until you actually have a single person 787 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 4: or at the head of the snake that isn't the 788 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 4: SEC commissioner pulling the strings. Then this you're gonna have 789 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 4: recurrences of all of this. 790 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 3: Right, This is. 791 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 4: A nice, sudden, little snapshot as to the world of 792 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 4: chaos in the NIL as it trickles down to the 793 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 4: rest of the bulls as you have a bunch of 794 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 4: opt outs and concerns of that side of things. So yeah, 795 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 4: huge changes in the offing here. Sometimes you gotta take 796 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 4: the pain to get to that next step. 797 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: Now, the other part of it is this, the last 798 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: twenty four hours, you have seen a lot of things. Well, 799 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: with this being butchered so much, it's the end of 800 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: the bowl system. It's the end of conference championship games. Right, 801 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: I've seen that. End of conference championship games, end of 802 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: weekly rankings and weekly ranking shows, and all these. 803 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 3: Things are ending now. 804 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 4: As every guy stands up, going, my rankings are really good. 805 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 4: I can't wait to be the predominant. I'm gonna be 806 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 4: the woes of rankings. 807 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: Look I get everybody is mad. I understand that. I 808 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: understand everybody's looking for something really crazy to say. None 809 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: of those things are happening. We're gonna have bowls, We're 810 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,760 Speaker 1: gonna have weekly shows, We're gonna have conference championship games. 811 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: None of them are going away. All of those things 812 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: are making money. They're all part of what's going on 813 00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: in college football. This playoff and this final poll, it 814 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,359 Speaker 1: just becomes part of the lore of the nil era 815 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: in college football. It becomes a big storyline and a 816 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: big moment. I'm not saying it's not a big moment, 817 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying we're not gonna have changes, because 818 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 1: there will be some changes, But none of this is ending. Really, 819 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: We're not gonna have com college CHAMPIONSI games are over now. No, 820 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 1: they're not over.
