00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: sixteen games on the slate this week. You pick them

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,279
Speaker 1: all against the point spread. We need to talk about

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: what gift we want to give away here.

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I gave away pies. I came up with pies

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: last week. What are you thinking for this week? I

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: don't know.

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: I think this needs to be organic. As we're going through. Yeah,

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: as we are talking about these games, if there is

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: anything that comes to mind as we go through, we

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: haven't come up with this yet. This is the first

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: week in like three years of doing this that we

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: have not come up with the prize yet.

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: So when I say I'd like to do this organically, Dan,

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: as we go through the episode, well let's just file

44
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: this away organically. I just said, a bitter cold chill

45
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: in the air, so maybe there's some sort of warming.

46
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: There's a jacket company of some kind or something to

47
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: keep people warm. You've done the solo stove thing, so

48
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: maybe that's a theme, but not everybody lives somewhere where

49
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: you need to be warmed constantly. Sure, sure, file that's

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: an option. Ok I got it, I got it jotted

Speaker 2: You can play for one week. You can play for

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: the remainder of the season.

61
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: We are going to have a bowllpool and a playoff

62
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: pool and all that stuff to come. But the next

63
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: couple weeks. Anyway, play around the board dot Com is

64
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: your quickest pathway in love it. We do have some

65
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: news to discuss. Oh, we have playoff rankings again, Dan,

66
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: your favorite thing in the universe.

67
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: It is my favorite tie.

68
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: Your top four is Oregon, Ohio State, Texas and Penn State. Okay,

69
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: followed by Indiana at five, Notre Dame at six, Alabama

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: at seven, the highest rated SEC team Miami at eight,

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Ole Miss and Georgia at nine and ten, followed by

72
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Boise at eleven and twelve. For what it's worth,

73
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: if you care, first four out as of now, SMU, BYU, Texas,

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: A and M and Colorado, it is the most wonderful

75
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: time of the year when everybody takes a dump on

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: the playoff committee, the logic and all of the arguments

77
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: that I think fall out of having these playoff conversations

78
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis every Tuesday night.

79
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: So if I'm looking at this correctly, Boise State would

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: get a first round by as the four seed, even

81
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: though in these rankings they are number twelve, but they

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: are more highly ranked in this ranking than the Big

83
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: twelve's highest ranked team. Yes, yeah, so the way it

84
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 2: works is ranking again, is different than seeding. The four

85
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: highest ranked conference champions will get a first round by

86
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 2: so by that rubric Dan, Boise State, Yeah, they would

87
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: get the first round by For what it's worth, if

88
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: you're listening, like, well, what happens to the Big twelve

89
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: or BYU or BYU? Right now is projected to make

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: the playoff coming out of the Big Twelve. They've got them,

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: I guess winning the Big twelve.

92
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: And if you look at the brackets right now, it

93
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: would be BYU traveling to Ohio State with the Winter

94
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: playing Boise. It would be Alabama traveling to Notre Dame

95
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: with the Winter playing Oregon. We could have a sOliver

96
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: Bowl on our hands. Is Georgia traveling to Penn State?

97
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: I think I saw that the projected points spread would

98
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: be a pick them in that Okay, Winter playing Miami,

99
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: and then the final matchup would be ole Miss on

100
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: the road at Indiana, your Indiana Houhu Hoosiers, with the

101
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: winner playing against the Texas Longhorn. Stand Who would be

102
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: the number two seed in.

103
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: This in this current seeded projection?

104
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Correct?

105
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 2: Have you been paying attention to the Indiana discourse? Tie

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: that it was a cute story until oh, they're not

107
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: the right team to have a good season. Come on,

108
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: look at this schedule? Come on, what are we talking

109
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 2: about here?

110
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: You notice it a little bit. I've been trying to

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: keep it at arm's length because you gets sucked into

112
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: those discussions and then you kind of lose track of

113
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: the day and you're four hours steep before you know.

114
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: It's trying to like stay away from as best I can.

115
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: We haven't really had that in earnest until now that

116
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: the conversation seems to have shifted to, well, if Indiana

117
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: is not competitive against Ohio State, how do you put

118
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: them in? Can we just say what we're all thinking

119
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: that the SEC, the strength of schedule, that it's Indiana's

120
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: a joke.

121
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: We want to live in a world.

122
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: Where Indiana gets into the playoff tie. It's pretty great.

123
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: It's it's it's a lot of this, it's a lot

124
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: of big da of the chug oh ting football. Brought

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: to you by Diane Harris tires. I just I don't know.

126
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: If you want to watch a bunch of SEC games,

127
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: I've got terrific news for you. They play each other.

128
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: If you want to learn about who's better between Ole

129
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 2: Miss and LSU. Great news. They play each other. If

130
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: you want to learn about who's better between Alabama and Vanderbilt,

131
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: get ready for this news tie. They play each other.

132
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: If you want to learn about who's better between Texas

133
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: A and M and Texas do we have to wait

134
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: for the playoff? We don't because they play each other.

135
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I think it's fun that teams

136
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: are having good seasons and there are different strengths of schedules,

137
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: and teams can't control how good their opponents are, and

138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: that you know, you do get some SEC big ten

139
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: games like LSU and USC, and LSU was right there,

140
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: ty LS was right there, but they didn't win, and

141
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: that's okay. So I don't know. It's one of those

142
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: things where there's the conversation the wins have shifted, and

143
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: everybody's sort of threatened by like, we're not going to

144
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: get nine SEC teams in what kind of playoff?

145
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: Is one of I think the joys of being an

146
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: independent show is that we're not really contractually obligated to

147
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: play nice with any one person or any any one

148
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: point of view.

149
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: I talked to forty three head coaches and they all

150
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: said the same thing about Indiana football.

151
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: Let me let me stayed in an another obvious point,

152
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: just so that our folks can take the necessary precautions. Yeah,

153
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: there is a moderate to severe case of I never

154
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: wanted this going around right now in the media. I

155
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: don't know if, of course this up. It's insidious, it's

156
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: all performative, but it's very insidious. People listening to this

157
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: may not even know they have it. Never want a

158
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: conference re alignment, never want a playoff expansion, never wanted this.

159
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know this version of college football saying you

160
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: never want a conference re alignment seems to center around,

161
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: at least for the moment, this notion of we need

162
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: to defend one conference strength over another. Right. A lot

163
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: of it is the SEC versus the Big Ten, versus

164
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: the Big twelve versus the ACC, to which I would

165
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: argue that is not a new thing. People, that totally not.

166
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: That argument is the same argument now as it was

167
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: nine months ago before Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC.

168
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: We've always had this argument about the SEC is what

169
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: the best conference?

170
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: That was my own ball.

171
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: We always had that argument. That is not a new thing.

172
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: That is not as a result of any changes.

173
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: Look at Kentucky is better than you think.

174
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: And there is also a case of this going around

175
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: with the playoff now. I never wanted this expanded playoff.

176
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: I would ask those people consider this year's season within

177
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: the framework of last because in that world we're not

178
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: arguing over like specific playoff order or rankings order, or

179
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: anything like that. We're arguing about are we leaving out

180
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: two or three Big ten teams? We're arguing trying to

181
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: figure out subjectively which SEC team is the best because

182
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: we can probably only pick one right. We're arguing about

183
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: does NC screw over or does notre name excuse me

184
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: screw over the ACC or the Big twelve and leave

185
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: that two of those conferences out entirely. We're probably arguing

186
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: about who Boise State's going to play in the Vegas Bowl. Well, sure,

187
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: that is a much different conversation than the one that

188
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: I think people are getting hung up on right now

189
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: when they say, oh, I would have never wanted this anyway,

190
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: I would ask for a brief moment of perspective if

191
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: such thing exists in today's universe. I would much rather

192
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: have this argument. I would much rather be arguing over

193
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: order and who the number twelve team is and if

194
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: number eleven gets in, or if Boise gets in and

195
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: takes their place, or something like that. I would much

196
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: rather have the argument now than the one we have

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: had for the last decade, which is somebody's going to

198
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: get screwed over big time and it's a bad choice.

199
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: We hate doing it. But tell us who you think

200
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: that should be. Boomshaka, Laca cor Agan, right right. I

201
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: would much rather be in this moment in twenty twenty four,

202
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: Which is why I feel like all of these I

203
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: never wanted this arguments. All of them are performative.

204
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: I think it's way funnier that you're like, we have

205
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: the fifth best team. Yeah, like that is a funny thing.

206
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: It is about this all.

207
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: But if truly you care about not screwing over teams

208
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: or at least having the best teams in the tournament,

209
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: this still gives you the best option.

210
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: If you wanted the best teams, you'd have either a

211
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: smaller or bigger tournament. Yeah right, you'd have teams that

212
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: have gotten better but have two or three losses, or

213
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: you just reward the teams who have been the most bulletproof.

214
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: Twelve is just in the middle, and you get arguments

215
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: over which second tier in which conference is the most

216
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 2: deserving to get the benefit of the doubt, and why

217
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: a potential eleven to one Indiana has to perform on

218
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: a level against Ohio State that they have to meet

219
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: some vague bar to like, some competitive bar that they

220
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 2: can't lose by fourteen but if they lose by ten, ah, right,

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: you're in right, Like there is a very weird performative

222
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: bar that has to do with the at lart like

223
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: the nine to ten eleven type seeds.

224
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, which is completely It's great.

225
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 2: It really is great.

226
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: If you go through that mental exercise putting this season

227
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: within the framework of last we're probably crying for a

228
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: reform system afterwards. Sure, this season is very different from

229
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: the ones we have seen in the past. You know,

230
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: we have gotten to that playoff argument, that fourteen playoff

231
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: argument far too often, and we look at it and

232
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: we say, we know who's going to win. That was

233
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: kind of the argument against the playoff. A lot of

234
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: people made that.

235
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't we know who's going to win. It's

236
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: every year we're seeing the same three of four or

237
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: four of four teams. They're drawing from the same small pool.

238
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: There was this air of inevitability, right yeah, And that

239
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: was frustrating and it turned fans off. And I've heard

240
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: plenty of arguments against that as well. Yeah, this season,

241
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: it has not really gone that way. There's a lot

242
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: of variability this season. It doesn't feel like you've got

243
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: the bulletproof team. Even your Oregon Ducks undefeated, sure, right,

244
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: sixteen to thirteen victors a week ago. We have seen

245
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: all of these teams with flaws, and so my sense

246
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: is if we were at this stage now where we're

247
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: arguing about who the best four teams are, it would

248
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: be a much much different argument, and there would be

249
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: the same people, many of the same people saying I

250
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: don't want this, I hate this. They would be the

251
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: ones calling for reform.

252
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: I mean this year would be especially Remind me the

253
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: top four right now.

254
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Right now, You've got Oregon, You've got Ohio State, You've

255
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: got Texas, and you've got Penn State.

256
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: So it's four teams who are not in the SEC

257
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: last year.

258
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: Correct, that's right.

259
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the nightmare. That's why there's a little bit

260
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: of freak out. Not the Texas element to this, but

261
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: it's just like, well, what has.

262
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: Bet State done? What is an act done? Where can

263
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: you struggle with Wisconsin? Ole miss almost beat Kentuck here?

264
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: Okay? I think it's fun. I think it's fine. It's

265
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: all a TV show. We like having a varied cast

266
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: of characters on a TV show. It's fine, everything's going

267
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: to be just all right. I'm not a big fan

268
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: of an expanded playoff. This is what we have. I

269
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: don't know, let's accept it. Move on, Let's play our

270
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 2: pick of the.

271
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: Week sound and time for helm any of the week.

272
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: Don't forget to give a call on the reverbline eighty

273
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: five to five verbal three. We will play our favorite

274
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: messages as part of the live stream we do on

278
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: at night, I want to talk some college football with us.

279
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560

Speaker 1: the feed bright and early on Sunday morning. Dan. Yes,

281
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: one of the other things I'm adding here to my

282
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: list is some sort of calming quality. Oh so, along

283
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: with our warming and jacket idea for the prize, something

284
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: that also maybe has a calming quality would be nice edibles.

285
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: So you're edi saying that you are going to buy

286
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: people THCHC products. Yeah, okay.

287
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: First game on the docket, high noon Fox Indiana at

288
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Big noon game, Dan, of course, big noon game.

289
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pumped, right, Ohio say people love the noon game, love.

290
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: The nooners love it. Yeah, Ohio state favored by thirteen

291
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: and a half points. We should also add, if you

292
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: are at home looking for the full second screen experience,

293
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: you and I are doing a live stream on this

294
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: here YouTube channel for the folks watching the video h

295
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: noon Eastern time. We're going to do a watch along

296
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: for Indiana, Ohio state.

297
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: Why not do we have a custom URL that we

298
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: can point to to get people to the stream.

299
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: You've been advocating for smelltieshair dot Com.

300
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: I believe it currently points to the live YouTube page

301
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: that we have right smelltieshair dot Com. We'll make sure

302
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: it's mel tieshair t Ys, smell tieshair dot com. Stop on, buye,

303
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: stop on.

304
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: By the point spread as I said, thirteen and a half,

305
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: which I believe I called two or three weeks ago. Yeah,

306
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: at some point we have a video out there about that,

307
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: But it looked like it was going to be around thirteen.

308
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: Right now it's thirteen and a half. This one, I

309
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: believe open to a little bit lower, or at least

310
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: when I looked at it, it was a little bit lower.

311
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: Since then, we've seen money come in on Ohio State,

312
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: it has not moved on. The bad news for Ohio State.

313
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: That's Seth McLaughlin. Their center tore his achilles oh awful,

314
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: which is a really big deal. We should probably talk

315
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: about it, maybe not just within the context of this game,

316
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: but just more broadly speaking Ohio State and their line play.

317
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: He's arguably been their best offensive lineman this year. He

318
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: was the transfer from Alabama who had the snap issues

319
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: a year ago, but has been pretty good for Ohio State.

320
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: Has been very good.

321
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a bummer for them. What jumps out

322
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: at you when you look at this matchup because you know,

323
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: we both have access to the same stuff, the same

324
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: videos of previous games, the same spreadsheets and whatnot. There

325
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: aren't a whole lot of glaring weaknesses.

326
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: You hacked into Curtis Rock security system, so we do

327
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: have access to some pretty insane stuff.

328
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you look at the profile for Indiana, there's

329
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: not a lot of red flags that jump out the

330
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: spreadsheets right now. Very kind to the Hoosiers because maybe

331
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: because strength of schedule has been one oh five in

332
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: the nation, so it's definitely not been the toughest schedule

333
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: in the world. The trick is for you and I

334
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: and the reballer hood to figure out if that matters.

335
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: Does that matter?

336
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: Oh? I think it matters. I don't think it's the

337
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: only thing that matters, but I think it's an element

338
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: to all of this. Yeah, that you want to measure

339
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: yourself against high quality teams, high quality players. See how

340
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: you respond, see how you adjust. And the fact of

341
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 2: the matter is Indiana has played the Michigan front and

342
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: really struggled in that second half. They really did struggle

343
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: against the linebackers and edge guys, defensive tackles from Michigan

344
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: who got stronger over the course of that game and

345
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: really caved in the Indiana offensive line. I believe they

346
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: are too. Also down a starter maybe left guard I

347
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: want to say, is out for the year also an

348
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: Achilles injury. So that matters. That's all sample size, but

349
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: that is the only real sample size we have to

350
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: go off of, like a NFL quality front that Indiana

351
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: has taken on and did struggle against, especially in that

352
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: second half. What jumps out to me about Indiana is

353
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 2: there's a very specific blueprint to beat Ohio State because

354
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: a team has done it this year, and I don't

355
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: think Indiana is built like Oregon. Oregon was able to

356
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: succeed downfield, winning those one on one matchups. You know,

357
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: Evan Stewart and Ted Johnson succeeded against I think it

358
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: was Denzel Burke for Ohio State. I like Elijah Surratt

359
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: had a couple of key drops against Michigan. I don't

360
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: think he can do it alone. I don't think this

361
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: receiving core is quite on the level of Oregons if

362
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: that's a blueprint to take down Ohio State. But Indiana's

363
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: winning how Indiana wins, which is winning sort of completely

364
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: and thoroughly winning on defense, running the ball when when

365
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: they're running well, they seem to be scoring a ton

366
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: of points like most teams do. And Ohio State defensively

367
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: they've been pretty much much spectacular, But there is this

368
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: like weird behind the scenes push pull, or at least

369
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: there was between how the defensive line operates and how

370
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 2: the rest of the defense operates. And I don't think

371
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: you can have that against good teams, which I believe

372
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Indiana to be. So I don't know they performed admirably.

373
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 2: Nebraska had a shot, I guess, and they did a

374
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: really nice job defensively against Ohio State and took advantage

375
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: of those offensive line issues. But if Ohio State can

376
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 2: somehow figure out offensive line shuffling, which is a big

377
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 2: if they're going to score, doesn't mean they're gonna win,

378
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: but they're going to be able to score. Chip Kelly

379
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: and Justin Fry, the offensive line coach, are going to

380
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: be creative enough get the ball out of Will Howard's

381
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 2: hands quickly enough to obviously extremely talented players in the

382
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: backfield in the receiving room that they'll score. To me,

383
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: the biggest question in this game is how does Indiana

384
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: see and absorb what Ohio State is doing and adjust

385
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: over the course of this game, because top to bottom

386
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: they have not played a roster like that and so

387
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: getting used to the speed, getting used to the line play.

388
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: And if they're down fourteen to three, can they diagnose

389
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: why that is quickly? If they're up ten to nothing

390
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 2: like Penn State was against Ohio State when after the

391
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: it was a pick six, right, if they're up ten

392
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: to nothing, do they have the wherewithal two step on

393
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: the gas even further like are they ready for that moment?

394
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: I think that's the question that remains because it's impressive

395
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: as Indiana's schedule has been on the road this year.

396
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: It was Friday night at a half empty Rose Bowl.

397
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: It was falling behind quickly, but then stomping Michigan State

398
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 2: on the road. And what am I leaving out here

399
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: in terms of Indiana's road schedule. I think they played

400
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 2: three road games.

401
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: I think this isn't a shanty game the full way.

402
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: It's at Northwestern's Temp Stadium, by the way, That's what

403
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: stood out to me, so really not road tested.

404
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: This is a trust game. Yeah, this is a trust game.

405
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean I'm trying to find things that I can

406
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: latch onto, and you know, you find tendencies that I

407
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: guess are interesting, right, Like Indiana's his zone heavy pass defense,

408
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: their second in pressure rate, they don't blitz as much,

409
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: So what does that mean. I trust that you're going

410
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: to see Ohio State running unbalanced sets, flooding zones, motions,

411
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that to figure out what's going on, maybe

412
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: quick stuff until Chip settles in and figures out the

413
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: game plan. I trust that Chip Kelly will figure it out.

414
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: And I don't trust that Indiana is going to have

415
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: an answer for all the different ways that Ohio State

416
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: can beat them. That is not to say Ohio State

417
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: is bulletproof. I think we know better at this point.

418
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: I think everyone is gettable the season. I just had

419
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: a whole diet trap about that. I'm just trusting the

420
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: talent here on the Ohio State side. I'm trusting the talent,

421
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: I'm trusting the coaching that they're going to figure this

422
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: one out. I'd also add that Ohio State trusts its

423
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: secondary and man coverage a lot more so than most

424
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 1: other teams in college football, and in a game like this,

425
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna trust that they have better athletes, athletes that

426
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: can go up there, that can win one on one.

427
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: That's why they blitz a lot more than a team

428
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: like in Indiana, because they know they've got the backstop,

429
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: or at least they believe in their backstop more than

430
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: I think Indiana does. Remember coming into the season, that

431
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: was a big question about Indiana. How are they going

432
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: to mitigate the fact that secondary is a question. They've

433
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: mitigated it by playing a ton of zone. That's how

434
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State in a much much different class with respect

435
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: to how they are guarding against the pass. My theory

436
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: is this, and it's not that complex. It's a Jimmy's

437
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: and Joe's thing for Ohio State. Okay, they have better players,

438
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: better players, and.

439
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: I don't think it needs to be more complex.

440
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: We could talk about all these tendencies till we're blue

441
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: in the face, and schedules and all that. For my money,

442
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: the scheduling argument doesn't even really make sense. Don't even

443
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: bring it up right now. It is not about who

444
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Indiana has played, even if they've had a chance to

445
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: test themselves, it doesn't matter to me. Their players are

446
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: not as good as Ohio State players. Ohio State wins

447
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: this one going away thirty eight to seventeen.

448
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have it somewhere in there as well. I

449
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: have thirty four to twenty barely covering well, it's thirteen

450
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: and a half. Yeah, thirty five to twenty, thirty five,

451
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: twenty one something in that, and even that might be

452
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: a little ambitious. I think it's just it's Jimmy's and Joe's.

453
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: But to me, it's just the Ohio State defense. I

454
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: think the Ohio State defense. You saw Indiana's struggle. It

455
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 2: was Zekeberry for Michigan. The corner like the Michigan corners,

456
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: and these are backup corners. We're smothering the Indiana receivers

457
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 2: for long stretches. I just think there is going to

458
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: be the physical nature of Ohio State's defense is going

459
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 2: to be too much. It's going to create opportunities. So yeah,

460
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 2: thirty five to twenty Ohio State.

461
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: We agree. We grew high noon ABC, oh Miss minus

462
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: ten and a half points on the road at Florida.

463
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: This isn't so much a trust game. This is a

464
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: vibes game. Dan is a vibes game. We've got high

465
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: vibes on both sides this. Yeah, we got ole Miss

466
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: beat Georgia two weeks ago on bye last week, but

467
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: two weeks ago beat Georgia. You know you're right back

468
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: in this thing after a couple losses if you're ole Miss,

469
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: so got to be happy about that. Now we've got

470
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: them in the playoff. The Committee's got him in their playoff.

471
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: So everything's coming up Old Miss. And my question to

472
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: you is about Florida though, mm hmm, because vibes are

473
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: also pretty strong in Gainesville, which, by the way, ol

474
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: Miss is getting Trey Harris back allegedly right, correct, Yeah,

475
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: that is correct, Billion Napier keeping his job. DJ Lagway

476
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: turn it into a full on dude just pulled the

477
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: upset of LSU a week ago. Yeah, barring disaster against

478
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: Florida State, you're going bowling, which in and of itself,

479
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: I think is an accomplishment for billion Napier.

480
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: Oh great.

481
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: It's a good team. It is not a finished product,

482
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: but the vibes are high. How much stock do you

483
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: put in the vibes of the Florida side?

484
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: I put a decent amount. When they've had a quarterback

485
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: that isn't Aiden Warner, they've been good, not great, but good,

486
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: and I should say after the Miami game, they've been

487
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: good with what they showed against Georgia, with obviously what

488
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: they showed against LSU. I discount the Texas thing because

489
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: I was an Aiden Warner game, and it's just unfair

490
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: to expect a ton from an offense with a third

491
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: string quarterback, no matter who that is. I guess short

492
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: of card L Jones, I put a decent amount of stock.

493
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: Florida is competitive with basically the best of the conference

494
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: when they have a healthy, ish quarterback, be it Tennessee,

495
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: be it Georgia, whoever. LSU maybe not the best of

496
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: the conference anymore, but a quality team. So the game

497
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: is in Gainesville, right Ty, Yeah, the vibes are there.

498
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: I think Florida can cover this game. What's the line

499
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: at the time, ten and a half recording ten and

500
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 2: a half points. I think they can keep this competitive.

501
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: And the thing I wore wry about which had me

502
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 2: leaning ole Miss initially, was just that old Miss pass

503
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: rush has been so great. And if DJ Lagway is

504
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: playing on a bum hamstring, which I don't think hamstring's

505
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: heel in a matter of six to seven days, that's

506
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 2: just a lot to ask of him. That's a lot

507
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: to ask of a freshman. It's a lot to ask

508
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: of any quarterback. Right now, staring down ole Miss's defensive front,

509
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: I think ole Miss wins this game thirty one to

510
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: twenty three.

511
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: I think this game looks a lot like the Georgia

512
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: game a few weeks ago. Okay, and you'll recall we

513
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: were watching that game when we were in the press

514
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: box at the Michigan Organ game. There's a case to

515
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: be made that Florida could have won that game. If

516
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: DJ Lagway doesn't go down with the hamstring, sure it

517
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: could have been a different game. It was a close

518
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: game most of the way through until Georgia pulled away.

519
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: I see Florida hanging on for a while against this

520
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: Ole Miss team. I do think there is a point

521
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: in the game though, when the Old Miss offense it's

522
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: just a little too much, or maybe when the Florida

523
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: offense is unable to pull its weight. That's my biggest

524
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: issue with the points spread here. Yeah, I feel like

525
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: there is a cap on that Florida offense around twenty points,

526
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: and if you're going to cover against Ole Miss, you

527
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: need to score a little bit more than that. Yeah,

528
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: if you want to win, you gotta score thirty. I

529
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: don't think they're scoring thirty against this defense, but if

530
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: you want to cover, you.

531
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: Got to get the I mean, Ole Miss has lost

532
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: a game in which a team got to twenty and

533
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: that's they have.

534
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: They absolutely have, So there's a case to be made

535
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: that that is possible here.

536
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

537
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: I just like I look at Florida, I see the

538
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: contrast between how many big plays they give up and

539
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: how many big plays Ole Miss is generating, and that

540
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: skes me out. I hear you, that is the thing

541
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: that really frightens me with respect to this point spread,

542
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: because that has been Old missus jam In twenty twenty four.

543
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: I went back and forth on this one. I think

544
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: all Miss wins. All Miss wins the game. The cover

545
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: the not cover, that to me is in question right now.

546
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: I've got it at thirty three seventeen Old Miss, and

547
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a blowout. It's not a crock potting.

548
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: This is a game that is close that Old Miss

549
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: pulls away late, maybe to cover, Yeah yeah, maybe, I

550
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: guess it'd be a front door cover, front door cover.

551
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: Excuse me.

552
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: This is a game that gets outside of that points

553
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: for a number late, but it is a good game

554
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: for most of the way through.

555
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The thing that gives me pause is it's

556
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: a road game. It's a tough environment. Florida's got some

557
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: good electricity going defense has been pretty good. Got to

558
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: Carson Beck repeatedly, I don't know. I think it's I

559
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: think it's relatively competitive, but I do give it not

560
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: to Ole Miss Florida covers. Maybe they're my home reptile

561
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: of the week.

562
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: Home reptile?

563
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: Isn't that what an alligator is?

564
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,239
Speaker 1: We don't have a sound.

565
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: The Yackers home dog of the week.

566
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: That's the best we can do.

567
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: Yes, fine, done?

568
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: Three point thirty ESPN. Let's get to the big twelve

569
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: portion this show, shall we? I would love to BYU

570
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: at Arizona YU State YU at Arizona State. Yeah, there

571
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: is a difference Arizona, especially if you're wagering. Yeah, Arizona

572
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: State favored by three and a half points, Dan, Does

573
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: that surprised you at all that they are favored over BYU?

574
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: Well, in this moment, we're coming off of a BYU

575
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: loss close to win the week before in rivalry game,

576
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: and we're coming off of strong to very strong ASU

577
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: vibes lately, so things seem to be trending in four

578
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: Key's direction. So I understand it. I definitely understand it.

579
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: You beat Kansas State, who we still perceive to be quality,

580
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: to be pretty good in the manner that Arizona State

581
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: was able to, especially immediately playing at home, giving ASU

582
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: fans or ASU students especially reason to get there and

583
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: make a ton of noise. Yeah, I get this line.

584
00:29:54,360 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of headspace ASU is in. I

585
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: wonder what their headspace is because coming off of that

586
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: Kansas State win now having kind of everything in front

587
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: of them, Truly, I wonder if Kenny Dillingham is able

588
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: to build on that. He seems like the kind of

589
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: guy who can the kind of guy who feeds off

590
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: of that, who is able to find a way to

591
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: transfer that energy over to his team. And that's part

592
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: of why I'm really afraid to go against Asu. I

593
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: really want to go Asu here. And I guess you

594
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: could ask the same question about BYU, because sometimes there

595
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: is a bit of a deflating effect of losing that

596
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: first game sometimes when you break the seal, and there

597
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: are other games that kind of get away from you.

598
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: And this strikes me as one where you've got two

599
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: ships going in different directions. That may be an unfair

600
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: way to characterize it.

601
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 2: I mean, BYU season has been so good, so strong,

602
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: it's probably.

603
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: An unfair way to characterize it. But I just I

604
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: wonder if there is some letdown effect as a result

605
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: of losing that game.

606
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 2: In dramatic fashion, in close dramatic fashion to Kansas, I.

607
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Am extremely torn here, extremely torn here.

608
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: Dan by the way, related I'm seeing here. The cam

609
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: scataburger debuts at cold beers and cheeseburgers except in Tucson, Okay.

610
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: So he has a signature burger which I always appreciate

611
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: Cam Scataboo did come back last week, wasn't a huge factor,

612
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: but made enough plays through the air and on the

613
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 2: ground to make a difference. I'm leaning ASU mostly because

614
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: it's at home, and mostly because I believe in ASU's

615
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 2: ability to run the ball against a BYU front that

616
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: has been better against the pass than they have been

617
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 2: in creating a wall and stopping the run. So I

618
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 2: look at that as an advantage for Arizona State. I

619
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: look at that that hangover. That's a late night BYU

620
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: lost too, right, Yeah, and so I don't know you're

621
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: eating into schedule that heading out onto the road. I'm

622
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: going with ASU to win this one outright, covering twenty

623
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: seven to twenty one.

624
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the other side of it, Okay, I'm

625
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: going to take the other side of it.

626
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: ASU two inflated, BYU two deflated or BYU two looked past.

627
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I BYU does not fit neatly into any box, right,

628
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: they don't. Just the way they're playing this year, they

629
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: just they don't. Their offense especially does not fit into

630
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: any construct that we are comfortable with. But you know,

631
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: I saw some positive signs in the game. I watched

632
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: a week ago. I still think Jake Retzliff's a playmaker.

633
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: I think you could use a little bit more support,

634
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: but I still think he is a big game player.

635
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: I still think based on what I saw with the

636
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: way they used the Running game or the way they

637
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: used it a week ago, it's probably better. It's it's

638
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: more specific to individual scenarios. They don't always use it

639
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: the same way, but the way they used it a

640
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: week ago, a'llbe it against Kansas, which isn't the world's

641
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: toughest defense. AESU clearly is a better defense. But I

642
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: just I thought they deployed it in a really smart way,

643
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: and so I'm just I'm not ready to bail on

644
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: BYU yet.

645
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: Oh I don't think you should bail on BYU. I

646
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: think a SU is quality and BYU is quality. I

647
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: also think and do we have the November sound?

648
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: We do? We do.

649
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: Order line erotic. So there's I think there's a weariness

650
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: that starts to set in around now. You have Thanksgiving

651
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: coming up. You're, however, many week twelve games or not

652
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: twelve games, but usually ten games, unless you're Oregon and

653
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: Washington randomly have played eleven. That's a nice little welcome

654
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: invite from the big ten. Everybody's beat up, everybody's injured,

655
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: and I sort of put a little more stock right now,

656
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: and which is why I liked Florida a little bit.

657
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: In home teams, are you just sleeping at home? You're

658
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: on a more normal schedule, You're not back and forth. Yeah,

659
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 2: there's a weariness that I like to wager against in November,

660
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: the road weariness. And so this sort of fits that

661
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: that worldview I have.

662
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take BYU plus the points. Okay, I don't

663
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: really know who wins the game. I mean kind to

664
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: say ASU wins the game. But three and a half

665
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: with BYU's just propensity to play these close games. I

666
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I want I want the points here. I

667
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: want to take the points. Let's stay at three point thirty.

668
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: On Fox, it is Colorado minus three at Kansas, another.

669
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: Big, big twelve album. Man, this is secretly one of

670
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: the best, probably three games of the day.

671
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: You ever run a five k a little too fast?

672
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: You up never accused me of running too fast? No,

673
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: I mean out of the gates. You're a little bit

674
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: too juiced up. You get out there before you you

675
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: know you're sucking wind about midway.

676
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 2: Through midway, yeah, and eighth of the way in.

677
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: And eighth of the way I feel like Colorado used

678
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: to do that, okay, and now they've figured out how

679
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: to pace themselves and they're better for it. It just

680
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: seems like there was a feeling out period, and maybe

681
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: it was all of last season, but they have kind

682
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: of grown into this version of themselves that is pretty good. Yeah,

683
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: it is pretty good. And you could probably make the

684
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: same case for Kansas a little bit. You know, they

685
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: were really feeling themselves last couple of years and this

686
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: season has been different for reasons that we don't need

687
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: to go into full description of right now. But Kansas

688
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: is on a run now too. They have figured themselves out.

689
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: They are playing better now. To that point, I have

690
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: not come away super impressed after having rewatched that Kansas

691
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: BYU game. You know, like red zone defense was good

692
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: for Kansas, was really good for Kansas. But between the

693
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: twenties there are a bunch of wide receivers for BAI

694
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: are just wide open, like unabated wide open. I also

695
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: really like Jalen Daniels. I'm glad he's healthy. He got

696
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: away with some throws last week to the outside, especially

697
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: if he tries those throws against his secondary there's pick

698
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: sixes that are coming at there. Okay, So I'm I'm

699
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: learly to get too high on Kansas, which is offset

700
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: by the fact that I think the big equalizer here

701
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: is coaching, and I really like Lance Leipold. I think

702
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: Lance Leipold is a much better coach in this game, Okay,

703
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: And I think he will come up with some sort

704
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: of scheme against Colorado that's gonna do to the Buffalo's

705
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: what they did to Iowa State a few weeks back

706
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: BYU last week did it again. I think because of

707
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: the coaching aspect of this, this is a close game

708
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't surprise me if Kansas is winning or

709
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: ends up winning late. Okay, where do you stand?

710
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 2: At first? I was looking for reasons for Kansas because

711
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 2: they've been playing well lately. They've been in control of

712
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: these games, even games they've lost, they've been up late

713
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: and certainly beating Iowa State and then beating BYU teams

714
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: upper ish tier of the conference for sure. So Kansas

715
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 2: belongs in that conversation that back half of the season,

716
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 2: they've been playing like one of those teams are better

717
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: than couple of those teams. They just have lost a

718
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 2: bunch of close games and started out just in a

719
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 2: very sloppy way. Whether it was the Illinois game, whether

720
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 2: it was I think they were up late against ASU.

721
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: I want to say, you feel free to fact check

722
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: me on that. I believe they were ASU scored with

723
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: like sixteen fifteen seconds left. So they've been in these

724
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: games with what we believe to be the top of

725
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: the conference. They just haven't closed it out. The game

726
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: is it's Arrowhead, right, it's Arrowhead Stadium. There's a big

727
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: rat poison week for Colorado, right, I think so Travis

728
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 2: Hunter overwhelming Eisman favorite. The odds are in his favor.

729
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: Got a Michael Irvin's story that says if the Cowboys

730
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: draft Shadoor Dion Wood taken open a potentially open it's

731
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: not open at the moment, right. No, mich McCarthy is

732
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 2: still somehow Someway the coach ye the Cowboys.

733
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: I think I think he's a dead man walking. But okay,

734
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: got an NFL guy, You're not.

735
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: A big like Cooper Rush that who the backup is believer? No,

736
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: and the chip was finest. There's some distractions. But I mean,

737
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: this has been a Colorado program that has welcomed the

738
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 2: spotlight these past couple of seasons, and they haven't been

739
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 2: sneaking by teams. They stuck my Baylor. But lately they've

740
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 2: been pulling away late at home on the road, They've

741
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: been behaving like a Power Conference champion should at this

742
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: point in the season. They've built up depth a little

743
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: bit more than they had last year. The defense is

744
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: certainly much better. This is going to be one of

745
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: the better, if not the best, rushing attacks that they've

746
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 2: faced this year, and they've handled a run decently well.

747
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's a complete defense quite yet.

748
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 2: I don't think I would go that far. I don't know.

749
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: Once again, the line and this moment, three.

750
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: Points, three points, Colorado on the road, I'm.

751
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 2: Gonna go with Colorado here. I'm gonna go with Colorado

752
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: just because I think the slot potential for Kansas is

753
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: a little bit brighter and I can't fully get behind

754
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: Kansas as a fully realized turned around aircraft carrier. I'm

755
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 2: going Colorado on the road.

756
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: I am watching Kansas specifically on first and second downs. Yeah,

757
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: because they have been pretty good this season. At staying

758
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: ahead of the change. Third down is when Kansas seemingly

759
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: stops protecting Jalen Daniels. Maybe he's just trying to make

760
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: a play and it kind of screws up the line stats.

761
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: But I just think trying to make a play against

762
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: this pass defense can mean bad things because they have

763
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: playmakers in the secondary.

764
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

765
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: I think this is a back and forth game. I

766
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of big plays. I think

767
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: we I have some turnovers that come back to bite

768
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: Kansas because of that thing I just described first and

769
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 1: second down, staying ahead of the chains and then trying

770
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: to make something happen on third down. Winning drive laid

771
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: in the game for Shador Sanders to Travis Hunter. Yeah,

772
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: Colorado squeaks it out on a thirty eight yard field

773
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: goal at the gun, thirty one to thirty, thirty one

774
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: to thirty they win a Kansas covers Kansas covers. Wow, Okay,

775
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: we disagree. Final big game here, seven pm. They're playing

776
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: it in Yankee Stadium. It is Army, it is Notre Dame.

777
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: It is the Irish favor by fourteen points.

778
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: Dan, I would take Notre Dame minus twenty four. I would.

779
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: I have Notre Dame minus twenty five. Really, I have

780
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: Notre Dame forty two to seventeen in this game.

781
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I was just saying if I were a rate

782
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 2: of a raging a waging human, a wagering human. Yeah,

783
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 2: that would be a line I might still be interested

784
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: in with Notre Dame. Now Notre Dame, maybe without Howard Cross.

785
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 2: He's questionable. Sho didn't play last week against Virginia.

786
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: Sure, what do you mean?

787
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 2: Sure? Is he not one of their best three defensive players? No?

788
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: No, no, he is, of course he is. I just

789
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. Okay, I don't think and

790
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to be disrespectful to the United States Army.

791
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: Of course.

792
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: I great season.

793
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: We've been reporting on Army football like more this year

794
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: than ever before.

795
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: Easily one of the best armies in this country. Continue.

796
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: This is probably the moment to mention that they've played

797
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty third toughest schedule in the country. Okay,

798
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: you did a little thing earlier on Slack where you

799
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: went team by team, I did his schedule and you

800
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: found some interesting factois that mainly interest Tom Hammond.

801
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: Did you not Week one Patriot League power Week two,

802
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: fired coach, Week three, fired coach, Week four, fired coach,

803
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 2: Week five, may fire coach. Week six, May fired, coach,

804
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 2: may fire coach week seven, fired coach Week eight historic

805
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 2: uncharacteristic bad year number nine fired defensive coordinator. That's their schedule.

806
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 2: I think Army is a good team.

807
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: I really like Bryson daily, I really like the offense.

808
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: I just they're in a different class in Notre Dame.

809
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: They just are, And I don't think it's particularly close.

810
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: We saw Notre Dame handled Navy earlier in this year.

811
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: Army is different. I'd say Army is better, but it

812
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: does give us a hint as to what might happen

813
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: in this one here against another option team. I think

814
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: it's forty two to seventeen. I think it's Notre Dame's

815
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: rushing attack that sets the tone. I think Army is

816
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: in a position of having to play ketchup. I think

817
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: option teams having to play ketchup generally doesn't work out.

818
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: Plus a lot of and defans in New York, this

819
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: is gonna be like a home game for Notre Dame.

820
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 2: And Army's not a tiny school that Marcus Freeman can

821
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 2: overlook In September, right, so he's not gonna lose this

822
00:42:58,920 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: forty two to seventeen.

823
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, we agree. Let's get to our next segment where

824
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: we pick our quads. Dan, I think about the heart,

825
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: pashion commitment and the energy you're willing to put into it.

826
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: That man is Tom Platz. He does the quad Father workout.

827
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: Do not do it.

828
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 2: You will be crippled. That is my exclaimer.

829
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: By the way, do we have a nickname for this Saturday?

830
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: Oh? I have Stay the Course Saturday. Yeah, because there

831
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 2: are a lot of games. There's not just a depth

832
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 2: of huge bangers and you know, top ten matchups, top

833
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 2: fifteen matchups, whatever, but there are a lot of moments

834
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 2: where when you look at teams heading into a tiebreaker,

835
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: you're either an SEC team playing Northampton High or you

836
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: are an ACC team with playoff aspirations or conference championship aspirations,

837
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 2: and like, you just have winnable games in front of

838
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: you this week and next week. So it's nothing dramatic.

839
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: It's just who can stay the course, who can read

840
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 2: their their compass and say, yep, we are we are

841
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: sailing at forty four degrees due north or whatever. That

842
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 2: to me is going this is one of those weeks

843
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 2: where you're just like, it's TCB, it's taking care of business.

844
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 2: I stay the course, Saturday Colon take care of business.

845
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: Yeah I was. I jotted this down when I was

846
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: giving my little Dia try before I would be inclined

847
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: to just call this a shut up and watch Saturday. Yeah,

848
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: shut up, shut up, let's watch the games man, shut up.

849
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: See what you can do. Put up or shut up.

850
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 2: That's not pure alliteration. That's a shit. It's shut up Shaturday.

851
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: I guess Shaturday. Go for it. Yeah, that's a different

852
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: connotation altogether. Here are wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.

853
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: It could just be Shatterday ty Hopes and Dreams. Ooh,

854
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: shattered in week thirteen, Shatterday Colon Hopes and Dreams get crushed.

855
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 2: Shatterday.

856
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah this is a new spig.

857
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, new spin for us. I like this. I think

858
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: we we worked on that together pretty successfully organically. I

859
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 2: like it, but it goes fully against stay the course.

860
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 2: Now I'm saying there's some somebodies are not going to

861
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 2: stay the course. Welcome to Shatter Day, Colon Hopes and Dreams,

862

Speaker 2: putting something that shatterproof. Okay, A new MacBook Pro.

864
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no no, yeah,

865
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: we're trying to keep this boat of Sorry, sorry, sorry,

866
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: a new Backbook Pro screen protector. Ah. Here are the

867
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: four games I pulled out for my quad. It is

868
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: slim pickens early. I don't want to say it is

869
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: your window of opportunity because I want people to come

870
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: to the live stream. Okay, just know that I'm kind

871
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: of thinking it if none of the if none of

872
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: the games that we discussed at noon, are really for you,

873
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 1: it's it's like not that deep of a okay slot

874
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: right now, smell Ties twelve o'clock Peacock Illinois at Rutgers.

875
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 1: Rutgers favored by one. We already played the borderline erotics sound.

876
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: I won't play it again. I had planned to play

877
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: it here, but whatever.

878
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

879
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: Also, twelve noon ESPN two SMU minus nine and a

880
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: half against Virginia. Twelve noon, Big ten Network, We've got

881
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: Iowa minus six and a half on the road at Maryland.

882
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: Twelve noon CW. We've got North Carolina minus three on

883
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: the road at Boston College. Dan. In those games, I'm

884
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: going Illinois because they sold my Rutgers stock a couple

885
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Okay, I cannot put into words why

886
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 1: smu Uva scares me, but that game scares me. Okay,

887
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,959
Speaker 1: and smu on the road with a lot to play

888
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: for Virginia just weirdly pesky. In some of these situations,

889
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: Virginia would be my home dog of the week. I

890
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: won't play the sound again.

891
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 2: They were not weirdly peski against Notre Dame. Not at all,

892
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: we should point out, not at all.

893
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: But the game scares me. I'm on Uva plus the

894
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: points plus nine and a half. Brendan Sullivan out for

895
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: the year for Iowa, so I guess back to Cade McNamara,

896
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: but I still like their defense, so I'd go Iowa

897
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: minus the number, and I go Boston College plus the

898
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: three at home against North Carolina.

899
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm Boston College is a better team at home. I'm

900
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: going BC. Virginia is my Tracy Chapman team of the week.

901
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 2: Although we don't think we can afford to roll.

902
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: We do not have the right clips, especially now.

903
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: I will say, though Ty, once I started saying like

904
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: the gimme a reason with Tracy Chapman, she had a

905
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: reinvigorated career. Right, somebody covered her song a country. Somebody

906
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 2: did Last Car.

907
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: So I believe it was Luke Colmbs did Fast Car.

908
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I remember liking it. If I listened

909
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 2: to I think it was pretty good. It was again

910
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 2: Tracy Chapman influencing the influencers. I guess I really look

911
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 2: for Virginia because it's such a great spot with how

912
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: well SMU has been playing and hosting SMU. I just

913
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: couldn't find that reason with Virginia. I just not enough

914
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 2: pop on a win to cover nothing either. Okay, I

915
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 2: think SMU is vulnerable this week, but I don't think

916
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: they're vulnerable against this year's Virginia.

917
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: Well, now you're gonna make me play the sound Okay.

918
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 3: The Kers home Dog of the Week.

919
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: That ending always just ruins my day.

920
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: It's that there's something about this game that that feels

921
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: off to me. I'm going UVA plus the points.

922
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 2: I looked at Weather, I could not find Weather. By

923
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: the way, it appears the best hot dog in Charlottesville

924
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: is Jack and Jill. If you're in the Charlottesville area

925
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: and looking for a hot dog and ties home Dog

926
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 2: of the week. Yeah, I couldn't pull the trigger. I'm

927
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 2: going to SMU here Boston College SMU What was the other? Uh?

928
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: It's Iowa on the road against Maryland. Yeah, I still

929
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna go Iowa here. I don't trust Maryland.

930
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: It's no member.

931
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 2: And Illinois over Rutgers as well, because I enjoy Brian

932
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: and the Pat Bryan experience. And there's just as much

933
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: as you were surprised by Rutgers beating Minnesota, I'm not there.

934
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: By the way. Also, of note, there are a I

935
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: guess pairing of two games that have forty two point

936
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: spreads in this window as well. Oh U Mass at Georgia,

937
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: Georgia favored by forty two UTEP at Tennessee Tennessee favored

938
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: by forty two points.

939
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 2: If that's anything, what brave scheduling to you? Next quad?

940
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: My question to you is how bad you're really won place?

941
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: I pulled four games out at the three point thirty

942
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: spot CBS Penn State minus twelve at Minnesota, ABC, Kentucky

943
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: at Texas, Texas favored by about three touchdowns FS one.

944
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: We've got Northwestern at Michigan, Michigan favored by twelve and

945
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: a half and Big ten network. We've got Wisconsin at Nebraska,

946
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: Nebraska favored by two and a half points. Here's why

947
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: I picked these games. I'm ready Penn State Minnesota big

948
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: time scar tissue dating back twenty five years.

949
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: I just did a video on this.

950
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this and you haven't seen it yet,

951
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: you can go out to any of our social media channels.

952
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be there.

953
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 2: Yep.

954
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: Three point thirty. The Texas at the Kentucky at Texas

955
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: game look ahead spot for Texas with A and M

956
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: on deck yep. The Northwestern at Michigan game look ahead

957
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: game from Michigan now Ohio State on deck. And then

958
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: Wisconsin at Nebraska. This is literally the battle of two

959
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: teams that have new offensive coordinators as of like a

960
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: week ago. It's true, Okay, So there are interesting points

961
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: within each of these games, even if they aren't obvious headliners.

962
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: There are other games in this window. Pit at Louisville

963
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: could be interesting. UCF at West Virginia could be a

964
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: fun game to watch, even Missoo at Mississippi State. Mississippi

965
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: State the Van Buren Boys I think are always interesting,

966
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: but agree as for these games. If Penn State is

967
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: actually good.

968
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: They should win.

969
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 1: By seventeen points over Minnesota.

970
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 2: Right.

971
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 1: The problem I have with Minnesota in this spot is

972
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: because their offense does not offer a whole lot of

973
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: big play potential. It allows Penn State to stack the

974
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: box and bring a bunch of guys close to the

975
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, play really tight man coverage that is

976
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: licensed for turnovers, that is licensed for Penn State creating

977
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: plays with the defense. I think this one looks a

978
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: lot like the Penn State game against Wisconsin a couple

979
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Is a really good Minnesota defense. Penn

980
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: State's not putting up forty. No, this is not like

981
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: a game that Penn State wins via knockout. It is

982
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: a ten round decision that they win and sort of

983
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: grind out, and it leaves everybody feeling unfulfilled. Twenty seven

984
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: to fourteen. They win, win, and barely cover, win and

985
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: barely cover.

986
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 2: By the way freezing temps in Minneapolis for kickoff in

987
00:51:58,400 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: this one.

988
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: I'll go pull points in that Kentucky Texas game because

989
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: of the rivalry spot. Why not crazy about the Kentucky offense.

990
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 2: But I mean it's a look ahead spot.

991
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, look ahead spot for Texas yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,

992
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: not crazy about Kentucky offensively, but the defense is stout

993
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: and Texas obviously has reasoned the look ahead.

994
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 2: So did you see did you see the Mike Elcho

995
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 2: quote about that game? Mike Elcho and his press are

996
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 2: because texts A and M has I believe Auburn this week?

997
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: Correct?

998
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 2: And he was like, make no mistake, our focus is

999
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 2: on Texas. And he's like, wait, no, it was good,

1000
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 2: and I believe him that his focus was on Auburn,

1001
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 2: but uh, it was just a slip that he just

1002
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 2: steered right into.

1003
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: Got to watch for the look aheads. Yep, I am

1004
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 1: going points Northwestern plus twelve and a half. Okay, let

1005
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: down or because of look ahead potential for Michigan.

1006
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's just also tough, Like Michigan comfortably beating somebody

1007
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 2: is not something we've seen a lot of this year.

1008
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 2: Give me points, Okay, I'm taking Michigan. I'm gonna give

1009
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 2: those points, but it's not based on a lot of

1010
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 2: track record.

1011
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go Huskers minus two and a half.

1012
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: I think this is a super ugly game. I think

1013
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: they win it by a field goal. I think they

1014
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: get both eligible for the first time. However long I

1015
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: think so too.

1016
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 2: I think Nebraska, somebody's got to win this game. Sixteen

1017
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 2: thirteen seventeen, fourteen thirteen ten go at the home team

1018
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 2: road weariness. Obviously Wisconsin coming off of a huge letdown moment.

1019
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 2: Nebraska certainly let down in the way they lost to

1020
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 2: USC but Wisconsin having that shot against number one team

1021
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 2: in the nation not getting it done. Firing the offensive

1022
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 2: coordinator maybe kind of a suspect hire to begin with,

1023
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 2: given how you know branded the Wisconsin offensive identity is.

1024
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to Nebraska to if Nebraska can win,

1025
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 2: which hypothetically Nebraska can win. I don't think there's any

1026
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 2: comfort to this win. It's going to be an ugly,

1027
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 2: ugly performance in a winning effort.

1028
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: Let's move to the next time slot, Dan, you have

1029
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: to achieve failure. You have to take it that far.

1030
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to go that far. It's too scary.

1031
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 2: Scan something I got news for you. That's where winning is.

1032
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question, if we are leaning

1033
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: into it being shatterday colon hopes and dreams are crushed,

1034
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 2: what is the likeliest hope and dream whose hopes and

1035
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 2: dreams will be shattered. If we are going to brand

1036
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: this Shaturday.

1037
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,479
Speaker 1: It could be Texas A and M the first game

1038
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: here of this squad.

1039
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 2: Wow, taking them out of the playoff consideration.

1040
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: Okay, it could be because I do not get this

1041
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: point spread. Okay, every week you got a couple of these.

1042
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: This is one of them. Texas A and M minus

1043
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: two and a half. That's it against Auburn. Auburn is

1044
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: not good, elite loser that way. We've been calling them

1045
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: I here, not good. Their offense is very limited. They're

1046
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: not really getting blown out, though, and that's the sticking

1047
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: point for me. They are good enough somehow, some way

1048
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: to muddy it up. And I just wonder if there

1049
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: is a dual look ahead spot or a singular look

1050
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: ahead spot going on here, because it's not just A

1051
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: and M. They've got a big one coming up at

1052
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: home against Texas. But Auburn's got the Iron Bowl, which

1053
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: we know is very meaningful to them. They've got two

1054
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: games at consecutive weeks now where they could they could

1055
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: ruin somebody's season. This is what I've been saying with

1056
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: this playoff. By the way, even though Auburn is not

1057
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: necessarily playing for a whole lot. At this point in

1058
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: the season, they can absolutely knock A and M out

1059
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: of it. They can definitely knock Alabama out of it.

1060
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 2: I don't think they can, but I'm glad that you

1061
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 2: feel that way.

1062
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: They have a shot.

1063
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 2: I mean they have a shot inasmuch as they are

1064
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: scheduled to play against them, and so technically they have

1065
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 2: an opportunity to win that game.

1066
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: But yes, I've got A and M twenty three two fourteen.

1067
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 2: You don't understand the line.

1068
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't understand the line, but I'm going to go

1069
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: A and M plus the A and M minus the

1070
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: points twenty three to fourteen.

1071
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a look ahead spot, and maybe that

1072
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 2: has something to do with it. You know, these are

1073
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: both beat up, as everybody is. Twenty four seventeen. I

1074
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 2: think they cover A and M.

1075
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: I've also got Alabama minus fourteen at Oklahoma. Maybe a

1076
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: look ahead spot for Alabama with the arm Bowl on deck.

1077
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 2: I really like Oklahoma to muddy this out and cover.

1078
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: I love Oklahoma plus the points.

1079
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 2: They're not going to do anything on offense of any consequence.

1080
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: No, no, they aren't.

1081
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 2: Alabama on the road coming off of bye double digit dog,

1082
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 2: what's the line fourteen points in face, double digit long,

1083
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 2: good defense, tough stadium to play in. Yeah, they can

1084
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 2: lose this game by seven to ten points. Sure they

1085
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 2: can tackle Jalen Milroe. Which else you couldn't That was

1086
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 2: Alabama's signature road performance this year. Yeah, or the Wisconsin game,

1087
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 2: I suppose, but signature SEC performance. I think there's a

1088
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 2: little bit of a come down. Alabama twenty three, Oklahoma sixteen.

1089
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't have I have two other games for the squad.

1090
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: I do have some options. You could tell me if

1091
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: any of these jump out to you, Okay, please, Cincinnati

1092
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: at k State K State favor by eight and a

1093
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: half points. Gimme your lean just quick. Let's just go

1094
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: quick here, gimme your lean. Hey State, they're still better.

1095
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Iowa State minus seven and a half

1096
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: at Utah, Utah, Utah, ty, I'll go again. They keep

1097
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: losing close because of a good defense other than last

1098
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: week against Colorado, I'll go Iowa State. Actually Utah here,

1099
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: Actually no, I'm going to Utah.

1100
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 2: I like it's a very stupid pick, but they still

1101
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 2: me I'm a sucker for And maybe it's just the

1102
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma thing bleeding over like a defense. No matter how

1103
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 2: bad the offense gets, still gets stops, still makes plays.

1104
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 2: They're not demoralized to the point of just giving up.

1105
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's a little that are embers there

1106
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 2: left for me.

1107
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: If Vandy beats LSU at seven forty five on SEC network,

1108
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: is Brian Kelly getting fired?

1109
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 2: Where's that game? Game is in LU?

1110
00:57:59,040 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: It's in LSU.

1111
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 2: They owe them a lot of money.

1112
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: If they lose at home to Vandy, they're firing Brian Kelly.

1113
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: I don't think they're firing. I think he is on

1114
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 2: the hottest of seats going into next year.

1115
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I think he's cooked.

1116
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 2: They lose at home to Vandy at night, Well you

1117
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 2: couple that with the like sideline stuff, with jawing back

1118
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 2: and forth at a player. It's the vibes are pretty

1119
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 2: down right now at LSU.

1120
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: Did you see the jomboy thing by the way where

1121
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 1: they did the lip reading and the analysis of the jump?

1122
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I thought I sent it as a joke

1123
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: or as like a real thing. Oh no, this was fabulous.

1124
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: John Boy doesn't work, but this was one of his best. Okay,

1125
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: all right, Virginia Tech minus three and a half at.

1126
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 2: Duke I like Duke here. I like them at home.

1127
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: I just there's not much I can trust about Virginia

1128
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,919
Speaker 2: Tech at this point, both because of health and because

1129
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 2: of Lake game performance.

1130
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Tech. Why not?

1131
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 2: Okay?

1132
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Was Zoo minus twelve and a half at Oregon State

1133
00:58:54,720 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: the two two holdovers Wazoo lock of the week, making

1134
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: a double lock by the way, double lock, yeah, lock

1135
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: of the week. Of all the games I looked at

1136
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: this one, it jumped off the page to me as

1137
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: my blck of the week for Wazoo.

1138
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: As disappointing as last week was for Wazoo losing to

1139
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 2: New Mexico. Yep, the ability to run straight at through

1140
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 2: and over, the grouping of chemistry tutors on the Oregon

1141
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 2: State defensive line. Yeah, gimme Wazoo.

1142
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: Baylor minus eight and a half at Houston, I'm going Baylor.

1143
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm going Yeah. This was another Tracy Chapman moment for me.

1144
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 2: I was trying to find that reason with Houston. I'm

1145
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 2: going Baylor.

1146
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: USC minus five against UCLA and the rivalry ten thirty

1147
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: on NBC DAN.

1148
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 2: That game's in the Rose Bowl. Yes, USC minus five.

1149
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 2: Technically it's not a real road game because it's just

1150
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: a crosstown game going and it's not even that far

1151
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: downtown to Pasadena. It might even be closer USC to

1152
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 2: Pasadena than UCLA going from Brentwood, not Brentwood, from Westwood

1153
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 2: to Pasadena. I'm gonna go Ucla here. There is something

1154
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 2: that scares me about Jade Mayava and the throws he

1155
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 2: got away without. It's game one for him as a

1156
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 2: starter for USC. I don't know. I think Ucla. I'm

1157
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 2: pretty sure they did a good job on the ground

1158
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 2: against Iowa. Do they really held down Caleb Johnson?

1159
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Right, they did. Do you think that Mayava will at

1160
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: all be at all be put off by, at all

1161
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: be intimidated by the raucous home crowd for UCLA?

1162
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 2: I mean, this is going to be the one game

1163
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 2: of the year where they actually are raucous, that people

1164
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 2: are going to show up. It's not a Friday night game, right, No,

1165
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 2: this is an actual Saturday game. It's against your crosstown rival.

1166
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 2: UCLA has shown signs of life the back half of

1167
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 2: the season. They are going to show up for the

1168
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 2: USC game. They'll always show up. I know I'm leaning

1169
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 2: into what you're saying Iowa. Caleb Johnson had eighteen carries

1170
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 2: for forty nine yards against UCLA. Now, Brendan Sullivan got

1171
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 2: hurt in that game, and so that the Iowa offense

1172
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 2: was a little bit, you know, discombobulated. I'm going to

1173
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 2: Ucla here as a home dog, and they'll be able

1174
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 2: to stop Woody marks enough on the ground and Ethan

1175
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 2: Garber's will extend enough plays at home. USA as just

1176
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 2: better give me the Bruins here outright, twenty eight, twenty seven.

1177
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm going USC. Okay, thirty one to twenty four.

1178
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 2: Okay, we just agree.

1179
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Final game here in this block that I wanted to

1180
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: call out Colorado State at Fresno Fresno minus three. There

1181
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: is ten thirty CBS Sports Network. It's going to be

1182
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: going on as we're doing our livestream, as will that

1183
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 1: USC UCLA game.

1184
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 2: By the way, yeah, big implications.

1185
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: This game is huge implications. We talked about it on

1186
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: the Tuesday episode. But Colorado State right now stands to

1187
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: play in that Mountain West title game. This is really

1188
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: the last remaining hurdle for them. It seems as if

1189
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: they've got a pretty clear pathway if they can make

1190
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: it through this week. But this is real significance for

1191
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: a team like UNLV, which U and LV needs a

1192
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: loss from Colorado State in order to find their way

1193
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: into that Mount West title game. I like Fresno here.

1194
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't loved Colorado State schedule and road games

1195
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 2: against a down air force, a frisky but not great

1196
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 2: Nevada Oregon State and in a losing effort losing to

1197
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Oregon State. And I was a different Oregon State roster

1198
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 2: at the time. I'm going with the home team in

1199
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 2: the San Joaquin Valley. Oo.

1200
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: I like it. That does it? That does it for

1201
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: your Week thirteen action, Dan, make sure that you get

1202
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: in on our play run the board game. By the way,

1203
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: I've been sitting here, I've been trying to think of

1204
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: all right, well, what speaks to the themes of keeping

1205
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: warm and keeping calm and being shatterproof? And why don't

1206
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: we give away a one hundred dollars gift card to

1207
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: YETI Oh, I like that. Chatterproof mugs and tumblers and coolers.

1208
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: You can put something in the Eddy that'll keep you calm,

1209
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: can also keep it warm, if that's something that you're into.

1210
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: YEDDI not a sponsor, absolutely could be. Some of their

1211
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: stuff is a bit pricey. If memory serves so, one

1212
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:17,919
Speaker 1: hundred dollars gift card goes a long way. You could

1213
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: buy some some fun stuff to take you with take

1214
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: with you to the tailgate.

1215
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 2: Who would you fill up like a gallon yetti tumbler

1216
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 2: with with something calming like cam a meal teal cam

1217
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 2: a meal tea, bring gallon.

1218
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: Just maybe maybe some like hard side or something. Keep

1219
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: it warm. That's true, you know something. It's that time

1220
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: of year, depending where you're at fair enough.

1221
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 2: I like that. That's a good gift. One hundred bucks

1222
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 2: to YETI.

1223

1224
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: on that, Dan. There is one more segment on this show. Yeah,

1225
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I forgot to jot down the matchups on our shared document.

Speaker 1: we have the Gators losing last week because their record

1234
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: was so abysmal and then they pulled out a win.

1235
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: Am I thinking of the right circumstance here?

1236
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 2: I think Fordham was abysmal and they pulled out the

1237
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 2: win against Georgetown. Well, two different schools entirely.

1238
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Still give me Coldgate. I'm going You're going Colgate going

1239
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: cold now back in the day out at North Dakota State,

1240
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: So give me Coldgate.

1241
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all about the Loo for me. So I'm

1242
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 2: going buck Now. Fordham at two and nine, welcoming Merrimac College.

1243
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 2: It's true, maxin to Jack Coffee Field in the Bronx

1244
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 2: forty seven degrees would kickoff ty chunko.

1245
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna go with that logic. Fordham is on

1246
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: a run, Dan, They're looking to be off the momentum

1247
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: from a week ago.

1248
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 2: Let's go Hammies here, Georgetown multi sport field, you know

1249
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 2: how it works. Holy Cross coming in at five and six.

1250
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 2: Georgetown five and five, but holy Cross four and one

1251
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 2: in the pat League, whereas Georgetown's two and three. Ty Yeah,

1252
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 2: what do you think?

1253
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking for Georgetown to end their two game losing streak.

1254
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: I should add they lost forty three to six and

1255
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: thirty one to three in back to back weeks. Now

1256
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: for those playing the home game, that is a margin

1257
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: of seventy four to nine. It has not been a

1258
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: good offensive showing, but last week was on the road.

1259
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: Now they get back to the comfy confines of multi

1260

Speaker 1: sports field. Give me the Hoyas.

1261

Speaker 1: i believe, four in a row over the last couple
