1
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: Kid you not. We've had this beautiful studio for like

2
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: half the year. Now, first time I've ever turned to

3
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: eat on. I've just been cold all day. Started the

4
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: day in New York City. A lot of you saw

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: us do get up this morning. Pleasure, Pleasure was all

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: ours to be there in Nashville. Now got to go

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: to Atlanta later tonight, got a big day, got a

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: big weekend in Atlanta. I'm not asking you to feel

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: sorry for me. I'm just asking you to feel a

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: little bit sorry for me. It is Thursday, it is

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: December fourth, the year of our Lord, twenty twenty five.

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Jam packed that hold on. That is the sound of

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: a stack of papers, the likes of which we could

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: only have in front of us. With conference championship weekend

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: and maybe just college football playoff chaos weekend on the horizon, Yes,

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: college football playoff. It's the talk of the town, Jesse.

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: Have you noticed talk of several towns. Albany, Georgia, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: two of the places they're watching this tonight. I'm gonna

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: talk about it at a lot of different angles. We're

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: gonna have cublic on Noil later. Of course, we're gonna

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: dive back into Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Alabama. I've got

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: some swinging theories about the committee itself, but we'll talk

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: about all that. I got a couple of big announcements.

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: It's just it is a monumentally big time around the show.

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: We surpass five hundred subs the other night on air

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: hoops to the thunket. So thank you guys so much.

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Talk about the live show more a little bit later.

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: They're watching us, like I said, in Albany, Georgia, but

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: probably Albany, New York, Harrisburg, PA, Flagstaff, Arizona, and Katie, Texas.

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: All right, mentioned a big announcement. Lock in on me

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: for a second. There are several big things happening around here,

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: but I would argue none bigger than what we're about

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: to do this Saturday SEC Championship Georgia versus Alabama, four

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern time kickoff there in Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia,

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: carried proudly on ABC. However, I can proudly announce that

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: if you take that remote control flip over to ESPN,

37
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: you'll see for the first time ever, yours truly, along

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: with Taylor Lawant and Will Compton and Harry Douglass providing

39
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: you an altcast right there on the field. The four

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: of us will be live on big ESPN. Not that

41
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: there's a small one, but big ESPN, the four letters

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: as big as it gets. Mike's in hand, live cameras.

43
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: Anything can happen, hopefully a really good football game. What

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: an incredible privilege. A big, big thanks to Pat McAfee

45
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: and his folks for making that happen. Big thanks to

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: ESPN for making that happen. Now we just have to

47
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: make it happen. But really, the pressure's not on us,

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: Caitlin de Bor, Kirby Smarter, you listening. The pressure's really

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: on you, guys. We're just there to narrate. You paint

50
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: the picture, we'll describe it. I would humbly suggest that

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: you guys check us out. We may not do a

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: half bad job Saturday. I'm gonna have a lot of

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: fun with that. Okay, let's dive in, I tweeted out

54
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: earlier today. I think that we've got some room for

55
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: mail bag. I mean, we've broken down the games already,

56
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: so everyone's talking about all sorts of different things, I said,

57
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Jesse dial up the mail bag, give me what the

58
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: people are asking. I put the tweet out. He picked

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: out the best replies. Let's start with this. Richard East Lansing,

60
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: Michigan said, I'm a Michigan State fan. I just want

61
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the college football playoff picture to burn. What should I

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: root for?

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: Richard?

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from. There, Brighter days are ahead.

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: Congrats on the hire of Pat Fitzgerald. You're going to

66
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: right a lot of wrongs over the past few years.

67
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: So Richard, you just want calamity. You're hurting. Richard says

68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: he's hurting, he's bleeding. He wants others to bleed along

69
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: with him. It's an unhealthy mentality, but I respect you

70
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: for being honest about it. Here's what you want to

71
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: root for. Clearly, to me, the biggest chaos mechanism in

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: this whole thing is not pictured on the graphic Bradley

73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: is showing you. What do you mean, did Bradley punch

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: the wrong graphic?

75
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: No?

76
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: Not this time. No, he never does. But Duke's not

77
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: top twenty five because Duke's not a top twenty five team,

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: nor a top thirty five team. But they are playing

79
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: in the ACC Championship. Game Saturday, and so Richard, I

80
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: would suggest to you the biggest chaos maker would just

81
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: be Duke winning the ACC championship. Now, for those of

82
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: you who don't really pay attention to odds, Duke's a

83
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: three and a half point dog. That's it against Virginia. Humbly,

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: I would lean Virginia in the game. But if you're

85
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: rooting for chaos, you don't want to lean favorite, Richard,

86
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: you want to lean underdog. Now here's why that matters.

87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: As we know, as most of us know, I've got

88
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: to assume someone's kind of coming back. Because you only

89
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: pay attention come playoff time. This is no way to live.

90
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: By the way. You need to be locked in from

91
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: week one. But if you are one that just came

92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: in from the countryside because you heard the playoff horn sound,

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: remember what the rules are and remember what the rules

94
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: aren't With the playoff, the rule is not all the

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: power for conference champs get in the playoff. Even though

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: an alarmingly high percentage of the the public believes that's

97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: the case, that is not the case. The rule is

98
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: the five highest ranked conference champs period get auto bids,

99
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: and then seven at large teams get auto bids now

100
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: or not autobids, they get a yeah at large bids.

101
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: It was always assumed by people, including me, that we've

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: only got four Power conferences. If you're giving five spots

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: to the highest ranked conference champs, surely anyone good enough

104
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: to win a Power for conference is going to be

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: among the five highest ranked conference champs. Most years, it

106
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: would be a slam dunk. It would be a no brainer.

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: This is not that year. If Duke wins this thing,

108
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: there is sure to be one G five champ ranked higher.

109
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: I don't even care who wins the American either team

110
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: will be ranked higher. And there is a distinct possibility

111
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: if jmu if James Madison just wins as a three

112
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: plus touchdown favorite against Troy, there will be two G

113
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: five champ ranked higher than Duke, which means Richard the

114
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: ACC champs out, which kicks in the ACC doomsday scenario

115
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: that the Committee could find themselves facing, and that would

116
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: be where the dust settles on Conference Championship Saturday. They

117
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: come in in the wee hours of Saturday night Sunday morning,

118
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: and they've got to figure out their rankings, and they've

119
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: got them all sorted out, except they realize oh, oh,

120
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: we put all the conference champs in. There's no ACC

121
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: in there. We've got a conundrum on our hands. Are

122
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: we going to be able to put an ACC team in?

123
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: And that's where we have to find out what Brigham

124
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: Young did. You're gonna have to follow me here. Brigham

125
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Young's not in the ACC. But here's what I'm thinking, Richard.

126
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: What I'm thinking. The committee will never admit it. But

127
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking is if they do get to that rubicon,

128
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: they may be willing to cross it and put Miami in.

129
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: And here's what would help them. What would help them

130
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: is if Brigham Young loses and they drop out of

131
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: the way and it's just Miami versus Notre Dame right

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: next to each other. I think some minds can change

133
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: at the eleventh hour in that room about how they

134
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: value head to head, and I think it would be

135
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: enough to catapult Miami over Notre Dame and put them

136
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: in the playoff to represent the ACC. Is it supposed

137
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: to work that way? Of course not. We've long since

138
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: stopped caring about how it's supposed to work around here. Frankly,

139
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: none of us even know. I mean, do you watch

140
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the playoff committee reveal on Tuesday night. Do you hear

141
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: those ridiculous explanations? So that's one thing. Here's another thing.

142
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: I just mentioned the concept of Brigham Young losing. It's

143
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: chaos potentially whether they win or they lose, Richard, So

144
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: you just root for the Big twelve championship game. You

145
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: can be like Rob Low. You just put on a

146
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Big twelve hat instead of the NFL hat. Because if

147
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: Brigham Young wins Saturday, then they're going to the playoff.

148
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: They'll be one of the five highest rint conference champs.

149
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: They're going to the playoffs, so is Texas Tech. That

150
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: means two Big twelve teams in the playoff, which we

151
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: didn't plan on, and that means someone's got to fall out.

152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: That someone is, in all likelihood Notre Dame. That would

153
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: be a mess. Now, there are some people out there

154
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: who believe, no, it doesn't have to be that way.

155
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: Alabama could get blown out in their conference championship game

156
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: and they drop out. I have to see that to

157
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: believe it. First off, because I don't think the Maama's

158
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: gonna get blown out even if they lose. Secondly, even

159
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: if they do, even if it's thirty five to ten,

160
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't think the committee's dropping them out, but for

161
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: reasons that I'll talk about in just a second. But

162
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: if Notre Dame is sitting there and they watch Brigham

163
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: Young lose, it's not cause for celebration quite yet either, because,

164
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: like I just said, five minutes ago, three minutes ago,

165
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: a Brigham Young win and they're in and Notre Dame's out.

166
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: A Brigham Young loss, then you start asking how bad

167
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: does Brigham Young have to lose for the committee to

168
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: drop them, because the Committee, generally speaking, is not in

169
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: the business of punishing you for losing a conference championship

170
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: game when everyone else is sitting home. Like I firmly

171
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: believe that, but look at him sitting right there at

172
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: number eleven as well as I do. The Big twelve

173
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: is not respected in that committee room as much as

174
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: the Big ten in the SEC. So while I sit

175
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: in here and confidently say Alabama can get blown out

176
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're dropping out, I can't say

177
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: that for Brigham Young. Also, it wouldn't pain the committee

178
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: nearly as much to drop them, because they're already not

179
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: in the playoff to begin with. You drop Bama, you

180
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: would be dropping them out of the playoff. Brigham Young

181
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been in the playoff unless they win their conference.

182
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: But if they drop them just one spot, that puts

183
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: Miami in Notre Dame head to head in that conversation

184
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: could get interesting, especially pending Duke or Duke's outcome. The

185
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: third thing is I think the same thing applies to Alabama,

186
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: not in the same sense. Okay, I just told you

187
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I think Bama's in either way. If they lose, We're

188
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: gonna find out how much it's possible to be penalized

189
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: for losing a major premiere Power two conference championship game.

190
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: Power two is a classification of college football that doesn't

191
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: officially exist, much like Area forty nine or fifty one

192
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: Area forty nine. I don't know maybe where the real

193
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: secrets are at, but it's not supposed to be power

194
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: to but it really is. We're gonna find out how

195
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: much you can get punished for losing that game. We

196
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: already talked about that. What happens if Bama wins blowout game,

197
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: close game. They're number nine right now. I've heard some

198
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: people I respect who have said they don't think Bama

199
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: can jump up past number five, and I completely disagree.

200
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Not only do I disagree, I think if they win

201
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: by one point over Georgia, they're gonna be a top

202
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: four seed and have a first round by Again, I

203
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: just want to remind you to suggest anything other than

204
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: that would be to be telling the SEC's one seed.

205
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: Even though they're ranked behind Georgia, they are technically the

206
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: one seed. You just won the conference as the one seed,

207
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: but we're not gonnavault you up there. Instead, what we're

208
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna do is a side note, how far do they

209
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: drop Georgia. Is that gonna be a world where Georgia

210
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: doesn't drop out of the top four, Bama doesn't rise

211
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: into the top four, and in the ad it's just

212
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: Texas Tech that sits there, or or what could happen.

213
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Just on the flip side of that is the committee

214
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: agrees with me, and so Ohio State and Indiana are

215
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna be one two either way. Georgia is either three

216
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: or four either way, because they're not gonna drop them

217
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: much at all, even if they lose and they Bama up.

218
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: And look what that gives us at the end of

219
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: the day. It gives us what we were penciling in

220
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: here a month ago. The big ten champ, the Big

221
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: ten runner up, the SEC champ, and the SEC runner

222
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: up as having the first round buys the alternative there

223
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: or the I guess the counter there is, well, what

224
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: about Texas Tech? I don't know. That's why we're speaking

225
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: in hypotheticals. What I don't think is gonna happen is

226
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Oregon is going to jump up there

227
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: in the top four at the expense of Alabama not

228
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: jumping up there if they win the conference. That's what

229
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't think will happen. So, yeah, there's there's a

230
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: lot stort out here, Richard. I think it's gonna be

231
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: a good weekend for you, but it has not been

232
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: a good month for you. But I think it'll be

233
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: a good weekend, especially Richard, if you stop by Quick Trip.

234
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Not mandatory, but you admitted it yourself. Live Spin kind

235
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: of poor. Is of late Live Spin on the skids

236
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: a little bit. And it's not your fault, Michigan State fan.

237
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: It's not your fault.

238
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: But you do control certain things, Richard. One of them

239
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: is where do you get your cold brew? You could

240
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: get it on tap at quick Trip. You could fuel

241
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: up at Quick Trip, you could fuel up the tummy

242
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: at Quick Trip as well. They are our ride or

243
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: Die partner. They're going to be on hand at the

244
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: live show tomorrow night in Atlanta. It could be tonight,

245
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: depending on when you're listening to or watching the show.

246
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: I love them. I don't say it enough, and it's

247
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: not Look, this is the ad copy they give me.

248
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: It says QT that's it. So I just roll with it,

249
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: and fortunately they trust me to do that, and I

250
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: just sometimes have to say I love them and I

251
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Quick Trip Joe. I don't tell you that enough, Bud,

252
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: but I love you, and so does our audience, especially

253
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: the one you give free guess to tomorrow night. Thank

254
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: you in advance. Maybe I'll be one. We had another

255
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: thing about the playoff that I wanted to hit out

256
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: of the whole batch that Jesse sent me. Kyle Knoxville, Tennessee.

257
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: He said, I need the commissioner to help us. How

258
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: would you fix the college football playoff? Now, hold on

259
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: a second, hold it, hold it, hold it, Kyle. It's

260
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: not the first time that you have presented a submission

261
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: to the show. That you have contributed to the mailbag.

262
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, but we happen to have record of

263
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: your submissions. You are an expansionist, Kyle. It's okay. I

264
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: fought against it, you fought, you beat me, you won

265
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: fair and square. Why does it need to be fixed?

266
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: You got what you wanted, didn't you. Oh you mean

267
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: it's not perfect out here? And imagine this, Kyle. Imagine

268
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: if a year and a half or two years ago

269
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: you would have seen this situation right now. What situation

270
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: is that, I'll tell you. The situation is you got

271
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: the expanded playoff you wanted at the expense of what

272
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: I wanted, and now you're asking me how to fix

273
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: the thing that you got that you wanted. And listen

274
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: to this, Kyle. I'm going to be the one to

275
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: tell you. I don't think it's broken. There are mechanisms

276
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: of it that I would love to overhaul, namely the

277
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: entire way the committee operates. But I don't think the

278
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: thing's broken at all. What's your evidence that it's broken?

279
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: Kyle's not alone on this. I know a lot of

280
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: you think the playoffs messed up. So do you think

281
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: the Committee's messed up? Or do you think the playoffs

282
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: messed up? I guess that's the first thing, because we

283
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: could fix the committee by just getting a new committee

284
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: or by redefining the process of the committee, but keep

285
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: the playoff the same. When I'm thinking playoff, I'm thinking

286
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: format and size. That's what I'm thinking. And if you're

287
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: saying it's messed up, that means we need to change

288
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: the bracket. And I don't think we need to. So

289
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: if you do think we need to, if you do

290
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: think it's messed up and it needs to be fixed,

291
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: what's wrong with it? That's my question. And my prediction

292
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: is people are going to talk about Texas, and they're

293
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: going to talk about Vanderbilt. They're going to talk about

294
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: Brigham Young. They may talk about Alabama. If Alabama were

295
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: to lose Saturday and they get left out, Notre Dame

296
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: absolutely could get left out of this thing. But my

297
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: question is, how does that prove there's anything wrong with it?

298
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: That doesn't prove there's anything wrong, that proves someone's upset

299
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: because they didn't make the playoff. But you see children

300
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: crying all the time at your local daycare. Just because

301
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: the kids crying doesn't mean anything's wrong. Sometimes kids cry

302
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: because kids pitch fits all the time, just because people

303
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: are upset. In college football, doesn't necessarily mean anything's wrong

304
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: with it. It's not necessarily evidence in and of itself,

305
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: then anything's wrong with it. So if you do think

306
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: that there's evidence just because Vandy's upset, they're not in

307
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: Texas or Miami is upset there or not? And if

308
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: you think that alone is evidence, well what do you

309
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: want to do? What's your answer? Is your answer to

310
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: expand it more? A lot of people think that, a

311
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: lot of people think, oh, we'll solve all these problems

312
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: if we expand to sixteen. Of course you won't completely

313
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: flawed logic, of course you won't. But walk me down

314
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: that road. What do you need? Do you just need

315
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: five plus nine? Like? Do we go from five plus

316
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: seven to five plus or I guess it would be

317
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: five plus eleven? Is that what we would do? Would

318
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: that be good? Would that solve it? Would you be

319
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: willing to swear under oath that'll take care of it?

320
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: No?

321
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: No, you won't, No, you won't. All that does is

322
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: slide the Overton window a little bit. You know, there

323
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: was a time not too long ago where we had

324
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: a four team playoff, and a time before that where

325
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: we had a two team playoff, and any of us

326
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: in those eras would have looked down the road and

327
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: laughed hysterically at the concept of us debating which team

328
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: in the country should be eleven and which should be

329
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: ten at the end of the year. You know why

330
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: would laugh at it, because we would be looking at

331
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: it and properly saying, do any of those teams in

332
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: that cluster really deserve to play for a national championship?

333
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: Do they deserve it? Not saying could they get granted

334
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: an opportunity, but do they deserve it? Like, do they

335
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: have a legitimate gripe that they have met the baseline requirement,

336
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: They've met the threshold that it should take to compete

337
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: for a title. You would have laughed at yourself. But

338
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: we moved the Overton window of what is and isn't

339
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: acceptable as we expanded the playoff, And then if we

340
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: expanded it again, we'd move it again, and sure enough

341
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: to be a team ranked nineteenth and you would be

342
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: up in arms, and someone would be saying, you know,

343
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: the big tens idea to go to twenty four wasn't

344
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: so bad. It would happen within a year or two years.

345
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: You know that.

346
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: Because many of you are making arguments that you would

347
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: have laughed at three or four years ago. So what

348
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: format do you want? How big does the playoff have

349
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: to be to be fixed? A lot of people want

350
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: to go to sixteen cause they say they don't want

351
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: first round buys, And to that, I say, I think

352
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: that's what those conference championship games are for. Like if

353
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: you ever want to balance out, Hey, why should we

354
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: want to play for a conference championship? Well, because it

355
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: could be that win or lose, as long as you

356
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: make that game, probably got a first round by coming up.

357
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Indiana can say that. Maybe Georgia and

358
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: Alabama can say that if Bama wins, But you know

359
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: what Bama could have done taken care of business against

360
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and then would be saying the same thing about

361
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: both of them. Don't matter whether you win to lose,

362
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a first round by anyway. One of

363
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: you's gonna take some hardware home. One of you's gonna

364
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: have more favorable positioning. I just I zoom out every

365
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: time I start to do this. I'm not being a

366
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: hypocrite here. I've complained about a lot this postseason. A

367
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: lot of mine's been more procedural, a lot of mine

368
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: has not so much had to do with the fact

369
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: that I think there's this egregious misranking. I do disagree

370
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: that Notre Dame's over Miami. That's small like it's a

371
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: complete open and shut slam dunk case. There are arguments

372
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. I just happen to believe the argument

373
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: for Miami over Notre Dame has more merit to it.

374
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: But that's not what I've trafficked in. What I've trafficked in,

375
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: if I've got a big gripe, is the procedure of

376
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: the playoff, the way the committee claims it operates versus

377
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: the way it really does operate, that sort of thing.

378
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: But I always try and take myself back to five, six, seven,

379
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: eight years ago, whatever. And I just pictured myself watching

380
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: a future version of myself, which is supposed to be

381
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: an older, wiser version. And what am I doing. I'm

382
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: sitting here, having watched Miami loose to Louisville and SMU

383
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: and I'm about to pound my fist on the table,

384
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: claiming they're getting screwed out of something they're not. There

385
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: are varying degrees of deservedness that teams have when it

386
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: comes to the playoff, and I think Miami deserves a

387
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,239
Speaker 1: spot over Notre Dame. They're not getting screwed. If they

388
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: don't make it in. They screwed themselves. It may be

389
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: a little unfair. It's just like if you're a three

390
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: touchdown favorite in a football game and it's deadlocked, it's even,

391
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: and it's twenty to twenty and it's fourth and goal,

392
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: and you think the ball carrier made the line the game,

393
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: but they call him short and then they go to

394
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: the replay and there's no camera angle, and so you think,

395
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: oh man, the refs just screwed us. The refs didn't

396
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: screw you. You were a three touchdown favorite for a reason.

397
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: It never should have come down to that. So do

398
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: I think Miami should get in the playoff? Absolutely? I do, However,

399
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: and I want to stop singling them out like Vanderbilt.

400
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: Do I think it's a shame that they're not going

401
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 1: to get the playoff Texas? Do? They have a gripe,

402
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: of course, but the committee's not screwing them. They screwed themselves.

403
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: Texas don't go loose to Florida. Vanderbilt a little more

404
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: product of schedule than anything else. They've largely done the job. Miami.

405
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: Just mentioned those two games Alabama, not that I think

406
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: they should be left out, but the Oklahoma game. I mean,

407
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: you can't let that stuff happen and still claim to

408
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: have this orb, this protective orb around you. So if

409
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: you like opinions like that, boy, do I have news

410
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: for you Tomorrow night, Big Happenings. We are twenty four

411
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: hours away from our first ever live event in Atlanta, Georgia,

412
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Buckhead Theater, seven o'clock start time, Friday night, SEC Championship

413
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: Game EVE. I know a lot of Georgia fans live there.

414
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of Bama fans will be in town.

415
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: Those are two of our biggest viewer bases, along with

416
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State that we have on this show. And Ohio

417
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: State's not allowed to play in that game. So it's

418
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: up to you, guys. We got a couple of dozen

419
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: tickets left. This will sell out sometime during the day tomorrow.

420
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: Peatestatematerial dot com is where you can go to purchase

421
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: your tickets. Great romantic date night idea. Ladies of Peate

422
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: State welcome as well. But I want to emphasize this

423
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: is not a version of this show that we're doing live.

424
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: This is a completely different thing altogether. We got a

425
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: lot of special guests we have confirmed, for example, one

426
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: Cole Kublick will be joining us tomorrow night. One Taylor Lwan,

427
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: one Will Compton will be joining us tomorrow night. I'm

428
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: even told that Savannah State herself could be joining us

429
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, as well as several other close personal friends

430
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: of the show whose names you would recognize, but we

431
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: haven't quite firmed down yet. But we'll be in the neighborhood.

432
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: This will be really fun. It'll be really fun. It'll

433
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: be sort of off the record. We're not broadcasting it

434
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: anywhere like this is a live ticketed event. It's for

435
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: our ears and eyes only, and a couple of dozen

436
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: tickets remain. Gonna have a lot of fun with it.

437
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: Highly encourage you guys to be there. Why do I

438
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: encourage you because it will make me feel good if

439
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: you're there, and we'd like to hang out with you

440
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: as much as possible. All right, let's roll on really

441
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: really hard hitting pressing question here in the mail bag, Bradley.

442
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: It goes without saying, I don't need an individual cut

443
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: from this question, but we have, for instance, over my

444
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: shoulder here that we have the Peate State Freight's logo,

445
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: the little circular logo. You see that we have a

446
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: train right in the middle of it. What is that?

447
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: I freely acknowledge that there are new viewers and new

448
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: listeners to the show every single show. And so you

449
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: see that and you're like, I guess that's just some

450
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: inside joke. I don't get it, but don't worry. They'll

451
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: talk about college football. I do understand that. Like, why

452
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: is there a Twister movie poster on the wall? Well,

453
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: I'll explain Twister some other time. But Peate State was

454
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: kind of a name we came up with to describe

455
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: our entire community here, our entire family, our entire army.

456
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't think just a community gets five hundred thousand

457
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: subs across the finish line live on air Tuesday Night.

458
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: But then I thought to myself, we gotta have a name.

459
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: We gotta have a mascot. Peate State Frights kind of

460
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: rolls off the tongue. Some would say it rhymes and

461
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: we gotta have a mascot. Right, there's Chuggy right there.

462
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: Where do we come up with all that?

463
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: Well?

464
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: I love trains, I love trains. Have since I was

465
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: a kid. There are some things I've grown out of.

466
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: For example, I used to eat Vienna sausages all the

467
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: time as a kid. Can't stand them now, so I

468
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: grew out of that. I used to love eating play

469
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: though as well, and while I would still admit it

470
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: tastes good, my palette has matured and I don't eat

471
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: playdough anymore. But I loved freight trains, freight trains only,

472
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: no Amtrak here. Freight trains only I loved as a kid.

473
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: I still love them. I may love them even more

474
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: as an adult than I did as a kid. Let

475
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: me drop something along you one time. Emily Proud, who

476
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: we used to work with over at CBS, she asked

477
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: me one day, just straight dead serious, facius one, what

478
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: is it specifically about freight trains that fascinates you so much?

479
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: I said, firstly, logistics and power, those two things, but

480
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: also I think a manifest freight train, which is just

481
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of random cars. That style of freight train.

482
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: It's really analogous to watching a person walk by you

483
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: in a crowd, Like if you're at a sporting event,

484
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna see tens of thousands of human beings that

485
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: you'll never see again in your life. Okay, it's gonna

486
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: sound insane, but this is how my mind works. If

487
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: you walk, if you watch someone walk by you, like

488
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: in a food court, in a mall or something like that,

489
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: that person came from somewhere. They're on their way somewhere.

490
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: They're carrying things, of course, figuratively inside them, inside their mind.

491
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: They've got passion, they've got talent, they've got scars, they've

492
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: got experiences, likes and dislikes, traumas, victories, They've got all

493
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: those things you'll never know because you never even said hey,

494
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: and then they just move on. I think the same

495
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: thing when I'm watching freight trains go by. I'm just

496
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: utterly fascinated. This box car right here. Where did it originate,

497
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: where does it terminate? What's its destination, what is it carrying?

498
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: Who's the manufacturer, who's the supplier, who's the client? Always

499
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: fascinated me. So we needed a mascot. We chose a train.

500
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: That's the story. There was a question, by the way,

501
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: I didn't mention that I bury the lead. Someone asked

502
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: why peyt State frights, Well, that's why. And on a

503
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: very very related note, This was wise of you, Jesse.

504
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,720

506
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: pathetic now that I think about it, but you know what,

507
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: we got to keep going. We got to keep going.

508

Speaker 1: name of our children's line of clothing in the store,

511
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: and you could pick up some pate State Little Frights merch.

512
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: Right now. You may be thinking to yourself, Hey, where

513
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: I work, we can't wear novelty T shirts. Okay, it's

514
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: got to be blank, you know, kind of like I

515
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: wear here. But your kid, whether that kid is actually

516
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: alive right now or you have plans on a child

517
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: eventually being alive in your life, and congrats in advance.

518
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: By the way, that's how they should dress. All the

519
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: cool babies are dressing like that, and so look, I

520
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: don't want to tell your baby how to live his

521
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: or her life. I just want to tell you how

522
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: to dress them and pay State Little Freight's merch. Great

523
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: Christmas gifting idea, phenomenal. Jesse bought some Jesse bought some.

524
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: He looks terrible in it, but he bought some, and

525
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: I highly suggest that you do as well. Look, we're

526
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: gonna get cublic. I know he's standing right outside. I know.

527
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: I just want to remind you big consequential games this weekend.

528
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,239
Speaker 1: You get a FanDuel. You can bet it all. If

529
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 1: you're not interested in betting, that is completely fine. If

530
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: you're on the fence about it, just think long and

531
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: hard about it before you do. Don't be betting any

532
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: money you don't have. This is for entertainment, so be

533
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: responsible with it. But you can just go over there

534
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: and look at the numbers, like, if you're interested Ohio

535
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: State Indiana, what is the number on the game? You

536
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: don't have to bet to go over there and see

537
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: that Ohio State's a four and a half to a

538
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: five and a half point favorite, depending on when you're

539
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: listening to me. But we got all kinds of stuff

540
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: over there. And if you are a new customer, and

541
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: this is anywhere, this isn't just the state of Missouri.

542
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: This is anywhere that it's legal, you can go. You

543
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: can bet five dollars and you can get one hundred

544
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: fifty dollars in bone bets. If that five dollars bet wins,

545
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: you can go bet oh, what's one Jesse. Off the

546
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: top of my head, you can go bet James Madison

547
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: just to win. Don't even have to lay the points

548
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: just to win. They're probably going to, if history is

549
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: any indication, get one hundred and fifty bonus bets just

550
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: for that. So it's a nice little cause, you know,

551
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: you having more money is one of the causes that

552
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: we believe in around here, and I appreciate you guys there.

Speaker 4: Uh, just you know, live audiences and things or something.

Speaker 4: I'm just not used to. So that's gonna be a

584
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,440

Speaker 4: We're gonna try appreciate.

587
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: The shout out on Tuesday Date Night podcast. By the way,

588
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: the Live show got a shout out on Tuesday Date Night,

589
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: mainly from Catherine Tie.

590
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 4: So that's how we get mentioned on this show. I'll

591
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 4: jef that down.

592
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: This is a straight barter system. It always has been,

593
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: it always will be, all right. So they're talking a

594
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: lot about conference championship games in the Big Ten, I

595
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 1: mean the Big Ten. Obviously, those two I think it's

596
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: obvious those two teams are gonna be in. They're gonna

597
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: be first round bys. No matter how that shakes out.

598
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: Its just the order. SEC is a little bit different,

599
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: but broad strokes purposes. I don't think I've ever heard

600
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: more collective noise about the state of the future of

601
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: conference championship games. Now, I had you on the show

602
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: like five months ago, and we were talking about that.

603
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: We were all the way back at SEC media days,

604
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: kind of just trying to look across the landscape and

605
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: see how much longer is this world of conference championship games.

606
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: I think if they crystallize their value, they'll always have

607
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: a place. That's why I think this weekend and the

608
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: SEC is a really big test and it's kind of

609
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: a two way thing for Bama. It actually doesn't involve

610
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: Georgia at all to me because they're in win or lose.

611
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: But with Alabama, I know you chopped this up all

612
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: week like I have lose, and I still say they've

613
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: got to be in When this may even be it's

614
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: not quite as interesting, but almost as interesting as if

615
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: they lose. I think if they win, they got to

616
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: get one of those first round by spots. Otherwise, you

617
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: just told your top overall seed by seedings purposes in

618
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: the SEC that you just won our conference championship. But

619
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna put a third Big Ten team in the

620
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: top four that sat at home on conference championship Saturday.

621
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: So we'll get to the game in a second, but

622
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: just general thoughts on where we are on conference championship structure.

623
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned showing their value. I might look at

624
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 4: this as from the other side, the opposite end of that,

625
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 4: as to if this is shown to harm specifically one

626
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 4: of these SEC teams, what does the future of this

627
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: game look like and how quickly does it change.

628
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: Hypothetically, let's say the path you were.

629
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: Going to down there, Alabama drops this game, even if

630
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 4: it's ugly, even if it's you know, twenty one to three,

631
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: something along those lines, and they're left out. And I

632
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 4: ask you dead serious point, blaying, Josh, do we have

633
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: this game next year, or at least in the same format.

634
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 4: Do we have this game next year? Because I'm not

635
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 4: sure we do. I think things could change that rapidly

636
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 4: if it ends up costing the SEC a spot in

637
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: the College Football Playoff. I agree with you that they're

638
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 4: in no matter what, think they should be, specifically since

639
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 4: they beat this team on.

640
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: The road earlier this year.

641
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 4: But there are gonna be other intangibles, other variables that

642
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 4: are going to play into that. And then two, as

643
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 4: you mentioned, when it comes down to seating, it's only

644
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 4: gonna take one or two of these. I'll quote Brian

645
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: Kelly here, you only need one. It's only gonna take

646
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 4: one of these teams to be hurt from a seating standpoint,

647
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 4: or to actually be included. That it's not just the

648
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: SEC that we could potentially see some of these games

649
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 4: go away, and it's probably gonna be more towards the

650
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 4: protecting of the top of the league's as it is. Oh,

651
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 4: we want to make sure that one of the teams

652
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 4: that's number four, five, six had the chance to play

653
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: their way into this tournament. I think things could change

654
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 4: rapidly if we see more harm than good done with

655
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 4: these games here in the next year or two. And

656
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 4: it could it might only take one this year for

657
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: that to change significantly. And you know, just like I do,

658
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 4: one of these leagues does it the others are gonna

659
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 4: follow immediately.

660
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, no, I completely agree with that. Like, there

661
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: could be a really, really violent shift. That's totally dependent

662
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: on how the committee handles this. All right, Bradley, For

663
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: future purposes, here's a good endpoint for you, Alabama Georgia

664
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: around two. The working theory is it's really hard to

665
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: beat a team a second time. I would argue it's

666
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: hard to beat a team like Georgia one time, especially

667
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: in their buildings. So Alabama did it. Then. I was

668
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: talking to some folks at Georgia earlier today say kind

669
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: of how do you guys feel? And the main takeaway was,

670
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: all right, Drew Bobo out starting center out. We can't

671
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: sugarcoat that. That's a huge loss for us. But remember

672
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: what we were missing the first time around against Alabama.

673
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: We were all banged up at our tackle spots. Pass

674
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: rush hadn't come on and yet, and then those lights

675
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: that were red are now kind of green, even though

676
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: you didn't see it last week. You hope that if

677
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: you need to put the game in gun or Stockton's hands,

678
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: he can get the job done. You just and this

679
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: is me talking now. I go back to last week

680
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: on the road playing the Iron Bowl. You get the

681
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: win if you're Alabama, but Auburn broke too defensively what

682
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: you would call pretty inexplicable explosives on you, and those

683
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: were yards after catch type explosives. And then I look

684
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: at what zachar Yah Branch could present in terms of problems.

685
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: Both teams are banged up. What's not funny. We were

686
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: talking about the committee earlier. What's funny is the losing

687
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: team could come out of this and weaponize the committee's

688
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: own protocol, their own stated protocol against them, and they

689
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: could say, well, you can't be punished in us. Man,

690
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: we were banged up. We'll be healthy for the playoff,

691
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, so we should have minimal punishment here. I

692
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: very very very slightly went Georgia in this game. I

693
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: did the first time. They lost on me the first time,

694
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna double dip on it and see if

695
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm right this time. I really think it's a close game.

696
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: Turnovers again, third down. Don't know if Bama's going thirteen

697
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: of nineteen again, know if George is going two of

698
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: eight again. Maybe a little progression and regression to the

699
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: mean there, but just a couple of bounds of ball

700
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: plays probably the difference.

701
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: To me.

702
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 4: Quickly, I'm just gonna note to write this down again.

703
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 4: You said the committee has and keeps protocol.

704
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: I let me rephrase, the committee has said some stuff loosely,

705
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: just making sure, Yeah, they would call that protocol. I'm

706
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: not gonna go that far. I'm gonna call it stuff.

707
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 2: Got it.

708
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 4: I think stuff is a much more technically acceptable term

709
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 4: there for what we have seen this season. I like

710
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: where you're going with some of the scenarios that are

711
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 4: almost exact and premise of what these two teams have

712
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 4: shown to either be good at and then what they've

713
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 4: shown to give up.

714
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take.

715
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 4: That a step further with you and go to a

716
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: couple more things go back to the LSU game for Alabama,

717
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 4: and I actually spoke to Kane Walmock after this game

718
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 4: and I said, is that the most you guys have

719
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 4: moved all season? I haven't seen your defensive line beyond

720
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 4: the move that much And he said, oh, by long shot,

721
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 4: wasn't even close. Well, go back to the Auburn game

722
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks later this past Saturday. That movement

723
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 4: cost them yards on a very consistent basis. Now, it

724
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 4: wasn't always the defensive line. Sometimes the nickel that was

725
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 4: supposed to be down and run support was out in coverage,

726
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 4: so there was some confusion other places. But especially with

727
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 4: those plus one quarterback runs. That was problematic at times

728
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 4: for the Alabama defense. What's Georgia gonna do? Plus one

729
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 4: quarterback runs? Flipped that around? Kane Wammack's vision defense is

730
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: based essentially in zone principles. Gunner Stockton did not see

731
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 4: coverage well when Georgia Tech played zone last week.

732
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: So here's what I'm struggling with, Josh.

733
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 4: Do we get caught just in the last week or

734
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 4: two or three, or do we look collectively where these

735
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 4: teams have been all season? Because you brought up the

736
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 4: last time that they met, I felt great about Alabama.

737
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 2: The last time these two teams met, felt pretty good

738
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: about Georgia.

739
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 4: Remember coming off that Tennessee game, we were like, I

740
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 4: know what Georgia is. My opinion hasn't changed, but my

741
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 4: opinion at Tennessee might be skyrocketing because we were probably

742
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 4: a little bit down on them going into the season.

743
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: I was pretty high on Bama then.

744
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if I feel as good about Alabama

745
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: right now due to some of those offensive line struggles.

746
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 4: This might not be five years ago Georgia front seven,

747
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 4: but it's turned into a pretty good front seven.

748
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 2: Christian Miller's making plays.

749
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 4: You got thirty three zero nine all finding ways to

750
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 4: get to the quarterback, and this Alabama offensive line has

751
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 4: just flat been inconsistent. So I would probably be with you,

752
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 4: even though I think there are strengths with both of

753
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: these teams that play into the weaknesses of the opposition

754
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 4: depending on which side of the balls on the field.

755
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: I'll go more philosophical with you here.

756
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 4: From my last point, this whole Kirby smart Bama in

757
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 4: his head thing can't last forever.

758
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: Right.

759
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 4: That's where I keep going with this is there's no

760
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 4: way that that's just going to continue down this path.

761
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart's too good of a coach. Kirby Smart has too.

762
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 4: Good And it's not that Alabama doesn't have good players

763
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 4: or Caitlyn de Bores not a good coach, but this

764
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 4: isn't gonna continue. It just isn't like college football history

765
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 4: doesn't say that one of the greatest to ever live

766
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 4: just couldn't do this for a very extended period of time.

767
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 4: So I think that potentially is another part of why

768
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: this reverse is. And I'm with you. In a game

769
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 4: that I could probably see going twenty different ways, I'll

770
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 4: take Georgia to sneak it out.

771
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: They dropped a stat on me this morning that really

772
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: hit me in the face. The trivia question was which

773
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 1: SEC head coach has lost the most SEC championship games

774
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: in the history of the game, which dates back to

775
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: ninety two. So the answer was Kirby. Now, the side

776
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: note to that is you know you have to get

777
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: there to lose them. But then I was looking at

778
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 1: that graphic there, so I guess Ricked okay, Ricked had three,

779
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: Fulmer had three, I think Spurriyer had three. They were

780
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: all tied and then.

781
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 2: Kirby's going to guess Spurrier.

782
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, Kirby's got like four or five point being

783
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: three of them are to Alabama. So you can even

784
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: take the trivia a step further. Kirby's got more SEC

785
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: Championship game losses just to Alabama than at the end

786
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: of the coach has in the history of the conference

787
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: playing anyone, one and seven all the time. Yeah, I

788
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: agree with you. I've never even thought about it like that.

789
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: I know it's very popular in Alabama circles to talk

790
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: about it, you know, the same way Bama folks talk

791
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: about playing on a road at Jordan Hare Stadium like

792
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: it's a curse. It's just a mental block. It's just

793
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: blocking and tackling an execution, and the other team happens

794
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: to have done it better than you. You know, maybe

795
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: a little justin Field's fake punt every now and then,

796
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: a little bit of head scratcher, but in general, I

797
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, but there's nothing. I think. The only

798
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: thing that would probably shock me is the blowout scenario,

799
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: and that's just because I never see it between these two,

800
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: So that's all that would surprise me.

801
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna one more real quick put this in

802
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 4: my journal, made note Josh had never thought of before got.

803
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: It, never thought of the blowout.

804
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say the health you brought up probably

805
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 4: like lt Overton yesterday, seeing his status for this game.

806
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 4: I think that kind of came out of nowhere. Bama

807
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 4: was a little bit dinged up. Not that George is

808
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 4: completely healthy across the board. You mentioned Drew Bobo, But

809
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: does that kind of catch up. And I don't know

810
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 4: if you can institute this into your team this way, Josh,

811
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 4: but Alabama probably needs the extra week more than Georgia

812
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 4: right now. Not that either team wants the extra game.

813
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 4: But if you're looking at health top to bottom, you

814
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 4: go back to two weeks ago when now Bama plays

815
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 4: that non con game and let us weekend, Bernard sits out,

816
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 4: brailsforst sits out. I mean, now what you're seeing on

817
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 4: the injury report, you're probably sitting there thinking to yourself,

818
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 4: if we could get that bye week, that would be massive.

819
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 4: How do you inject that into your team though, and

820
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: say this game's more important so you can have a rest.

821
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 2: I just don't.

822
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 4: I don't know if guys buy into that or play

823
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 4: any differently that way.

824
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: I just wrote down three numbers on my piece of paper, like,

825
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: all right, Isaiah Horton's doing his job, Jeremy Bernard has

826
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: done his job all year, Lotsier Brooks seventeen, he's come

827
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: on strong as of late. And they all got the

828
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: number two written down here. And I don't know anyone's

829
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: guess is as good as mine as to kind of

830
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: what's happened to Williams. I think one of the most

831
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: shocked to the senses but not overly shocking type thing

832
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: that could happen in this game Saturday, is all of

833
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, he just re emerges, and if he does,

834
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: you like, I have not heard many people mention Ryan

835
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: Williams's name in this game breakdown because he really hasn't

836
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: done anything much as of late, but yet there he is,

837
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a hamstring thing all year,

838
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: but he's playing like he's on the field. That would

839
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: be the one thing where if we're at halftime and

840
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: he's got four catches for eighty three yards in a

841
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: touchdown already, you're going like, yeah, I just I don't

842
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: know that I expected that, which would be weird. Given

843
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: Ryan williams history against Georgia.

844
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 4: The reasoning that, I would say, well, first off, you

845
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 4: and I have had this conversation before. Nothing truly surprises

846
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 4: me in college football anymore because I feel like we've

847
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 4: just seen everything and always prepare for something bananas to.

848
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 2: Take place at that position.

849
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: I do think it's more mental than people believe, specifically

850
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 4: with the drops. It's not like this young man doesn't

851
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 4: know how to catch a football. It's not like he

852
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 4: hasn't caught one hundred thousand footballs in his lifetime.

853
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: He has, so, whether you want to relate.

854
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 4: It to a golfer with the yips, a baseball player

855
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 4: in a slump, whatever it is, somehow, some way, confidence

856
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 4: is what will bring this back. So if you get

857
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 4: him one on one early in this game and he

858
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 4: makes a move and makes a circus at catch, does

859
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: a three sixty, gets out of it, and goes for

860
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 4: a seventy two yard touchdown, it wouldn't surprise me from

861
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 4: that point on. If Ty Simpson says, all right, let's

862
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 4: try him again, and it works, and it works and

863
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 4: it works. Some of that will have to be with

864
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 4: Georgia managing coverage over him if he gets favorable matchups.

865
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: But I see that position like listen.

866
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not trying to dog on receivers here, but

867
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 4: let's be honest. Do we view them as the most

868
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 4: mentally tough players on most teams? Probably not, Like do

869
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 4: we have certain guys in the past that were that,

870
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 4: of course, Like there's no part of me that questioned

871
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase's mental toughness, Like I just don't think that

872
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 4: that it's a real thing, Like Calvin Johnson. I don't

873
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 4: question Randy Moss's mental toughness.

874
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 2: So like a Marquise Mays.

875
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 4: I've heard Maceilroy tell stories about him, like, would never

876
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 4: question his mental toughness, but we know collectively it's probably

877
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 4: not that across the board, which also tells me that

878
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 4: when something good goes their way, if that is the

879
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 4: hurdle that's in front of them, you can probably clear it.

880
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 2: For good very quickly.

881
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 4: Whereas you get an offensive tackle, you gotta be mentally

882
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 4: tough to even do the things that are asked to do.

883
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 4: You get beat a couple times by say a Will

884
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 4: Anderson or a wit Weeks early in the game, you're

885
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 4: probably done for the afternoon. Like you're not really bouncing

886
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 4: back from that because now you're constantly thinking about what's

887
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 4: going to be next, how it's gonna happen. I could

888
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 4: see that position having a quicker mental bounce back than

889
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 4: maybe a lot of others on the field.

890
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to go to the SEC Championship game.

891
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: It says it sold out. That's never really true. You

892
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: can go to seat geek right now, enter the code

893
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: paid ten. And the reason you want to do that

894
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: is not just because we get credit for it. It's

895
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: because you get ten percent off your order. Ten percent

896
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: off that purchase of tickets to the SEC Championship Game.

897
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: Mind you would be a pretty significant chunk of change that,

898
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: of course you could theoretically then use at the Peyate

899
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: State Store. I don't want to tell you how to

900
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: spend your money. I'm just saying it is the Christmas season.

901
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: There are a lot of really really good looking gifts

902
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: over there. So seat geek if you're going to go

903
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: to the game, If you're buying tickets to anything, this

904
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: weekend could be big twelve, could be big ten. Just

905
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: make sure you go to seat geek first paid ten

906
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: at checkout. All Right, two weeks ago, we had you

907
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: on and we didn't really plan what we were going

908
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: to say we never planned what we're gonna say, but

909
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: we really, really really didn't plan that day, and we said, hey,

910
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: let's just kind of randomly say what's on our mind.

911
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: Imagine that, by the way, So I'm gonna hit you

912
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: with one, and then I'll just hit the ping pong

913
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: ball over there and you can hit me with one.

914
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: Everyone is looking at the fact that the ACC could

915
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: potentially get a very very underwhelming team in here if

916
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: Virginia were to win the conference title. Everyone's looking at

917
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: how pathetic the conference title matchup is to begin with.

918
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: In the ACC. Everyone's talking about how outside of the SEC,

919
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: in the Big ten, the landscape just looks void of

920
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: premier teams, which is true. And yet I sit here

921
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: and just zoom out for a second and say, wait

922
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: a minute, are we really about to blame the ACC

923
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: for this? Are we gonna blame the Big twelve for this?

924
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: Conference realignment, which none of us really liked when it happened,

925
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: is still the real culprit over in the corner. It's

926
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: just you got so tired of banging on conference realignment

927
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: that you tried to look elsewhere. No, it's just conference realignment.

928
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: It's the reason why you've got teams in the ACC.

929
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was. It may have been

930
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: Duke in Miami that had two common opponents in conference play,

931
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: which is utterly insane. But you've also got high value

932
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: properties like Texas and Oklahoma. One will be in the playoff,

933
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: the other swears they should be in the playoff. Neither

934
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: are in the Big twelve anymore, mind you. And so

935
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: I've got way way bloated conferences, and I've got most

936
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: of the prize proper ease, most of them in two conferences.

937
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 1: And I don't know how I would ever do it again.

938
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: But man, if I could just take one of those

939
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: little cookie cutters and it's like it's pre cut to

940
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: give me all the conferences back, I would just like

941
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: to drop that thing down on the soft dough of

942
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: college football, because man, I'd love to be watching the

943
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: Pac ten championship game Saturday night, sometime way way way

944
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: after dark.

945
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 4: I would even take Pac twelve championship game or Southwest

946
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 4: Conference championship game.

947
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

948
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 4: I think if we could all hop in that door

949
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 4: and go back in time, and you go pro wrestling,

950
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 4: pre Vince McMahon and everybody has their regions, and then

951
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 4: we figure out a way for them to go play

952
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 4: each other in the postseason, and that's how we determine

953
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 4: who's actually going to be there and they're going to

954
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 4: go play against one another. But we know what drives

955
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 4: to sport now, and that's money. And the biggest difference

956
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 4: is there are certain brands, certain leagues, certain teams that

957
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 4: can drive more eyeballs, get more eyeballs, therefore demand more money,

958
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 4: and they're only going to continue to pull away from that.

959
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 4: The demand of being included, not just in this tournament,

960
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 4: but in the NCAA tournament and other tournaments is only

961
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 4: going to continue to rise. So I actually think as

962
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 4: we sit here today, we're actually closer to that breakaway

963
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 4: than maybe we've ever been. I do feel like at

964
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 4: times we kind of started to inch towards it, and

965
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 4: then people threw it out and said, nah, no, we

966
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 4: could never do that.

967
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 2: That's not going to work. To forget that.

968
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 4: I think we're actually maybe full speed ahead at that

969
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 4: right now. And when I hear more whispers of other

970
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 4: teams that are being discussed to go different places, it

971
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 4: only makes me think that that big picture idea is

972
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 4: probably closer than we think now. What I don't know

973
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 4: is that is there somebody sitting up in their throne

974
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 4: somewhere laughing at all of us, waiting for that to

975
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 4: actually take place.

976
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: I don't think that that plan is out there.

977
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a commissioner, an individual that has

978
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 4: planned all this out and said, Okay, we get to

979
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 4: X number of teams in these two leagues, that's when

980
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 4: we run.

981
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 2: That's when we take our ball and we go home.

982
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 2: So who actually can make it happen?

983
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 4: Is there one, two, ten individuals that have to step

984
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 4: up and say okay, now's the time we leave everybody

985
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 4: else behind. I know it's only ten percent, eleven percent,

986
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: five percent, but five percent of a gigantic number is

987
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 4: still too much for us to share with you.

988
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: So we're not sharing anymore. Goodbye.

989
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 4: And then, as you and I've also discussed, who steps

990
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 4: up from the other leagues the rest of college football

991
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 4: and says here's our plan moving forward, That's what I

992
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 4: don't hear anybody talking about, because I think we would

993
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 4: all enjoy whatever you wanted to call it right now,

994
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 4: mid level college football, G five, whatever we've called it before,

995
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 4: for them to have a playoff you look at some

996
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 4: of those teams and how they're playing this year when

997
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 4: we enjoy that. Absolutely, would it be competitive, Yes, would

998
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 4: be compelling. Of course it would, and you strategically place

999
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 4: it around where the other games would be. I think

1000
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 4: it could work. I think it would be self sustaining.

1001
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,479
Speaker 4: It would just have to be in a very different way.

1002
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 4: So I'm kind of with you there, and it kind

1003
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 4: of hurts my heart to talk about it because I

1004
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 4: do long for the days of staring out there at

1005
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 4: the Pac twelve about how weak they were and the

1006
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 4: SEC would dominate them, or the Big ten was slow

1007
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 4: and there's no way they could keep up with the SEC.

1008
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: And then we see those teams play and somebody's proved

1009
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 4: wrong one way or the other, like you can't run

1010
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 4: the ball like we can up here, or what would

1011
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 4: what would olemiss do if they had to play in

1012
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 4: the cold and we have to go actually find that out.

1013
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 4: Then they put up forty two points and it's like, Okay,

1014
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 4: that narrative is dead. We can just move on talk

1015
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 4: about football again.

1016
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know if anyone's realized how

1017
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: completely ridiculously frigid it is in the South, Like it's

1018
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: gonna snow again in Nashville tonight. So we're looking at

1019
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: potential playoff games in Norman or Oxford or like maybe

1020
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: Athens or somewhere like that. And it still keeps getting

1021
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: presented to me as SEC teams earning the right to

1022
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: play in warm weather climates. Buddy, in September, absolutely, it's

1023
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: gonna be freezing. It won't be as cold as it

1024
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: would be in Madison, Wisconsin. But if anyone thinks players

1025
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: in Mississippi are going to be comfortable whenever that game

1026
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: kicks off, whatever day it is, against whoever it is

1027
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: Vaught Hemingway Stadium, I don't check your ten day, check

1028
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: your extended forecast every now and then. All right, I

1029
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: got another thing about the committee, But you can go

1030
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: next hit me with whatever's on your mind. That's of relevance.

1031
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 4: I want to know from you where you view Indiana

1032
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 4: right now, big picture, because I don't hear a lot

1033
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 4: of people talking about them potentially I don't even need

1034
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 4: you to say definitively potentially being the best team in

1035
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 4: college football. But as you know on the radio show

1036
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 4: I do with Macro in the morning, we have a

1037
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 4: computer formula that we plug in every week, and everybody's

1038
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 4: eyes got real big today when we started going down

1039
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 4: these parameters of how you gain points in this system

1040
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 4: of rush, offense, rush defense, event stuff, turnovers, which is

1041
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 4: go look at the turnover numbers, folks, penalties, and then

1042
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 4: third downs kind of even things out a little bit.

1043
00:50:55,480 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 4: But even past defense belongs to Indiana, and I I

1044
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 4: wonder why is it the lack of super high profile players?

1045
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 4: Because you and I had a conversation a couple weeks

1046
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 4: ago about what teams have things that no one can

1047
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 4: do anything about, and it was like A and M

1048
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 4: third down defense, Ohio State wide receivers, like everybody kind

1049
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 4: of had that thing, Oklahoma's movement up front with their

1050
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 4: front seven, Like you better have something to offset this

1051
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 4: one part of what they do or you never even

1052
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 4: got the engine started to try to pull the upset

1053
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 4: against them. Where is Indiana in all of these conversations,

1054
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 4: because you look at some of the numbers they aught

1055
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 4: to win this game Saturday night against Ohio State.

1056
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 2: Not a lot of people believe that's gonna happen.

1057
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 4: And would you not rather take a team a minus

1058
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 4: across the board than a plus plus in one spot?

1059
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 4: But maybe C plus in one or B plus or

1060
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 4: B minus in another, Like there's not a true weakness

1061
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 4: with that football team, but Josh, nobody's talking about them

1062
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 4: that way.

1063
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 2: And I just don't understand it.

1064
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: Are you gonna give the name of the model that

1065
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: you use. It's Rubik's Cublic If you're interested, could you

1066
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: say it again? It was really soft there.

1067
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 2: Rubics Cubulick.

1068
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they're the.

1069
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 4: Second and it is, like Josh said, it is advanced

1070
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 4: that algorithm. Don't try to figure it out this. It

1071
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 4: is more complicated than instagrams. You'll never get to the

1072
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 4: bottom of it.

1073
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: Does it do like quarterback matchups even though they're not

1074
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field at the same time? Does

1075
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: it really get that granular like.

1076
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 4: Peyton versus Tom Brady win? It's not the Auburn plainsman

1077
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 4: that you used to have to that quarterback. Don't running

1078
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 4: back check mark, wide receiver check mark. I used to

1079
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 4: always get that paper on Wednesdays whenever it came out

1080
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 4: and look at it and be like, our d lion's

1081
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 4: not playing there.

1082
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 2: Delon, wait a second, So I don't really understand.

1083
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: Letter to the Editor again from number sixty one, yeah, whatever,

1084
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: we just keep getting mail from this guy every week.

1085
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: I think they're the second best team in the country.

1086
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: I certainly think that, maybe even fairly. There's a burden

1087
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: of proof because of that right there. If you're listening

1088
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: on podcasts, all I'm doing is pointing to the logo.

1089
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: You've never seen Indiana do it. You saw him do

1090
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 1: it last year. But then everyone who thought it was

1091
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: superficial and cosmetic had their thoughts validated because they got

1092
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: run when they played Ohio State, and then they got

1093
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: beat pretty soundly by Notre Dame. This year, I feel

1094
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 1: is totally different. I felt that since the Oregon game easily,

1095
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: but really even before that, and they've motored their way

1096
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: through their schedule. You look at you know, we got

1097
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: our own model here at pales in comparison to the

1098
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: Rubik's cubelip. But we never would have had Indiana rated

1099
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: top ten, Power rated top ten last year. They're solidly

1100
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: number two now. And I just want everyone to remember this.

1101
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: Odds makers really couldn't care less about anything other than

1102
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: making sure they've got a sharp enough number on a

1103
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: game that they don't get buried in money. It is

1104
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: a total myth that the points spread on a game

1105
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: is merely meant to split the action fifty to fifty.

1106
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: That is a total myth, because if it were, then

1107
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: they'd be making you lay a whole lot more than

1108
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: four and a half or five and a half. With

1109
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State against Indiana this weekend. But I digress. I

1110
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: don't think people understand with this current version of Ohio

1111
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: State how hard it is to be under a touchdown

1112
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: underdog against them on a neutral field. You can play

1113
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: them in your own building, and it's hard to be

1114
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: under a touchdown underdog, and Indiana is. And I think

1115
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: it goes deeper than what you just said, but a

1116
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff gets thrown in a blender and

1117
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: it's not like there's this one area where their quantum

1118
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: leaps and bounds better than they were last year. I

1119
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: just think it's the grand sum of incremental improvement across

1120
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: the board, and a really good coaching staff gets that

1121
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: year one to year two. Ideally you get it every year,

1122
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: but especially year one to year two. So I mean,

1123
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and be shocked if

1124
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: they win. We talk Tuesday night about how many challenges

1125
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: Ohio State's defense poses for Indiana, and that's true, and

1126
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: I think Mendoza probably needs a better game through the

1127
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: air than he had against either Oregon or Iowa. But

1128
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 1: having said that, we think we know Ohio State's defense

1129
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: is elite. The paper tells us they're elite. They probably are,

1130
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: But there are some components, there are some combinations rather

1131
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: sort of being able to do multiple things well that

1132
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: Indiana's offensive possesses that Ohio State hasn't had to deal

1133
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: with this year. So you know what, if we're watching

1134
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: and it's thirty to twenty four midway through the fourth quarter,

1135
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: they've already scored more than you thought that score on

1136
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 1: Ohio State, but they're the one with thirty on the board,

1137
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: it would surprise me. I don't know that would outright

1138
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: shock me, just because it would have been Ohio State

1139
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: not dealing with a first incredibly.

1140
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 4: Well, it's gonna be fun to watch, And at first

1141
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 4: I thought you were pointing at the old Dominion game

1142
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 4: that was the reason that we should all be impressed

1143
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 4: with Indiana, But nonetheless it was the logo I guess.

1144
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 4: So either way, I don't know who's gonna win that game.

1145
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 4: I'm excited to watch it because I think it could

1146
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 4: go either way. I'm with you on Ohio State's defense.

1147
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 4: When I watch them, I feel like they're elite. But

1148
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 4: one of the tests that we point to to say,

1149
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 4: that's why I know very elak because of what they

1150
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 4: did against them.

1151
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 2: There's just not a lot of those on the schedule.

1152
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: I want to just present one more thing to you,

1153
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: and then we got to run. I listen to everyone

1154
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: gripe and moan about the committee with good reason, because

1155
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: every time the committee chair has opened his mouth this year,

1156
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: it is given a lot of ammunition to the haters.

1157
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: The haters are a plenty, and the ammunition has been

1158
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: a plenty.

1159
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 2: Now.

1160
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: I made the point the other night. I don't even

1161
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: think I said it on the show. I think I

1162
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: said it on Twitter, which was a waste of a

1163
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: good point. I said, you know what's really funny is

1164
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: it strikes me that we've got all these coaching searches

1165
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: going on, and athletic directors are involved in those, and

1166
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: every detail of these coaching searches eventually leaks and you

1167
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 1: just learn all of the ugly truth behind the curtain

1168
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 1: of a coaching search, or most of it. Those same

1169
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: athletic directors allegedly are locked in a room where they

1170
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: debate each other. You heard Hunter tuesday night, he said,

1171
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: boy Reese, that Notre Dame Alabama debate, that was something

1172
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,919
Speaker 1: of the fiercest, most contentious debating that we've had over

1173
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: several years that I've been on this committee. None of

1174
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: the details ever leak. Have you ever noticed that all

1175
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: the details of the coaching searches leak, But allegedly we've

1176
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: got these like at each other's throat level contentious debates

1177
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: going to the eleventh hour about one team versus another team,

1178
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: and no one ever even hears what the specific merits

1179
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: of the respective sides of the debate were. My grand

1180
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: theory is that's cause it's not happening. My grand theory

1181
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: is they get a computer, they get a computer rating

1182
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: spat out at them, which finishes about ninety eight percent

1183
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: of their job, and then they just kind of like

1184
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: the checkerboard at Cracker Brill, it's kind of moving around

1185
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. And because they really didn't do the work,

1186
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: they're ill equipped to explain their thinking because they didn't

1187
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: do the thinking, so the numbers are going to be

1188
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: what the numbers are. The reason I know that is

1189
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: because we got several folks we follow on Twitter right

1190
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: now that to about a ninety eighth percentile accurately predict

1191
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: what the rankings are going to be using simple computer formulas. Truthfully,

1192
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: it's mostly just the old BCS formula. And so that,

1193
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: my friend, I hate to disappoint you, is what is

1194
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: really going on. That is the playoff Santa Claus and

1195
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: someone had to someone had to pull the curtain back.

1196
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 4: I thought Santa Claus delivered gifts, not ruined things for people.

1197
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 2: Depends on how you feel. You want to be Santa

1198
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: yet you're the grinch. But that's okay.

1199
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 4: Let me just counter it with this. In coaching searches,

1200
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,919
Speaker 4: certain information is beneficial for one side or the other

1201
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 4: correct when it leaks. As you stated, so we either

1202
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 4: want you to take your hound dog that direction to

1203
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 4: try to figure out where were going for a coach,

1204
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 4: or that direction because we're actually going to go the

1205
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 4: other way, or the other side gives you something to

1206
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 4: make you think that this is a done deal, it's finished.

1207
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 4: Don't come talk to our guy because he's already locked

1208
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 4: down yet we're off talking to somebody else, or we

1209
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 4: didn't know as on but we want that side to

1210
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 4: think it is. Whatever it is, What would it benefit

1211
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 4: the committee for any of this information to get out

1212
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 4: of what people are actually saying or what people are

1213
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 4: actually doing.

1214
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I.

1215
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 2: Don't know what if it would or not.

1216
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 4: First but we don't think they would want anybody to

1217
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 4: know what that information was because, like you said, then

1218
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 4: they would have to answer to it.

1219
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 2: So that would be my understanding of why it wouldn't

1220
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: get out there.

1221
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, first off, what do you know about coaching

1222
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: searches anyway? Secondly, I would say I've It's not like

1223
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: I ever talked about it on air. I've straight up

1224
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: talked to athletic directors after the searches conclude and gotten

1225
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: all the details I could ever want. It's not like

1226
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: they're not forthcoming with the details that I fully grant

1227
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: your point. During a coaching search, there's a ton of

1228
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: motivation for someone to tell you a certain thing, to

1229
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: get you to look a certain way, or get you

1230
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: to say something that shapes things a certain way. But

1231
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: after it's done, it's done. They got no problem if

1232
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: they trust you coming forth with the information. And yet

1233
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: the same one sit on that committee and it's like

1234
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: pulling teeth trying to find out how you guys really

1235
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,959
Speaker 1: met Baylor in TCU that one year a decade ago.

1236
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 1: What were the specific points? Who was specifically arguing either way?

1237
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 4: Uh uh oh okay, now I'll back up your point,

1238
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 4: and this is I think there's reality to this as well.

1239
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 4: They refuse to use common sense. And I've said for

1240
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 4: a long time that if whoever stands in front of

1241
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 4: a television camera does an interview to discuss what happened

1242
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 4: in this room, would just utilize common sense, a lot

1243
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 4: of the anger, the rage, the questioning.

1244
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 2: Would all go away.

1245
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 4: Let's take probably our number one debate throughout this entire

1246
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 4: season as it pertains to the college football playoff rankings,

1247
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 4: and that would be obviously Notre Dame in Miami, right yep.

1248
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 4: So what's not common sense? What do you and I

1249
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 4: never utilize when we debate or talk about or want

1250
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 4: to know more about anything in life? Data points Like

1251
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 4: if I want to ask you about where you grew up,

1252
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 4: or I want to ask about how you plan your wedding,

1253
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 4: I don't say, well, give me the data points on

1254
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 4: how you picked your reception venue. And you would say, well,

1255
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 4: if you carry the two and you put a decimal point.

1256
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 2: Those aren't real things.

1257
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 4: So if a committee member would sit in front of

1258
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 4: a camera and say, yeah, guys, Notre Dame lost that game.

1259
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 4: The reality is when we watch them operate right now,

1260
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 4: we feel like they're a better football team. Do you

1261
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 4: have another question? And that would be the end of that.

1262
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 4: Now people are still going to debate it, talk about it,

1263
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 4: wonder about it. But when you come up with these

1264
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 4: hypothetical analytical decimal point math problems to try to explain

1265
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 4: your points of how you debated things, first of us,

1266
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 4: none of us understand that none of us know what

1267
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 4: those things are. Data points are not real life conversations.

1268
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 4: Real life conversations are that team operates great in the

1269
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 4: red zone. They manage situational football the way that you

1270
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 4: should be, They control the line of scrimmage, and they

1271
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 4: don't turn.

1272
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 2: The ball over like they operate as a better team

1273
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 2: right now.

1274
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 4: They have more efficient quarterback play, their defense doesn't allow

1275
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 4: teams to get first downs, specifically on third down, on

1276
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 4: a very regular basis. We love that about them. Whilst

1277
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 4: of that game early in the season, yes, but look

1278
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 4: what they've done here and here. That to us points

1279
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 4: out that they're a better football team. We don't get

1280
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 4: answers like that, and to me, that's all it would

1281
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 4: take for a lot of the nonsense to go away.

1282
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 4: But as you said, there are deflections to the hows

1283
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 4: and whys of things being discussed, and maybe that ultimate

1284
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 4: deflection is what you pointed to, and that is we

1285
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 4: use math. We just don't want to tell you we

1286
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 4: use math.

1287
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Cole Kublink is his name known as Cole Kublick in

1288
