1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: OOH America's college football show jam Packed tonight. As Uncle

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy would say down in Lineville, Alabama, if you start

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: at quarterback for the University of Alabama, your word is gold.

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Greg mcglroy started for quarterback for Alabama. His word sounds

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: like this.

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: If you're covering the sport the right way like Josh

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: Paid does.

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to your show.

00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: to be covered the right way. So we're gonna play

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: a game that Josh Pat's played for the last six

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: seven months.

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: That's what if. Thank you, Gregory. We are jam packed

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: high a top an excited downtown Nashville, Tennessee. And why

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: are we excited? Yes, we have college football on the horizon,

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: but we're also excited around here tonight because it is

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: time for us to reveal not only the name of

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: the twenty two T three Tour, but Week one destination

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: also on tap tonight. We'll do that at some point

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: in the show. Overrated Teams, Underrated Teams. I'm debuting the

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: JP pole Sunday night, but I'm gonna give you a

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: little sneak peek. We have leaks happening on the show tonight.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you eight teams. Four of them I

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: think are overrated, four of them I think are underrated.

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you exactly what the JP Pole

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: Slash Model thinks about it. Believe it or not, it's

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: not gonna be on the show tonight. The model is

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: lower on Texas than the AP Pole is. You will

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: not see a bigger upset this year. I got camp Intel.

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: I mean I got a loaded batch of camp Intel

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: for you. The Bama quarterback situation warrants its own segment tonight.

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: There are some rumors, there are some things floating around

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: out there. They got a big scrimmage this weekend. This

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: is legitimately a national championship caliber team and they have

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: no clue who's gonna start at quarterback. So I'm gonna

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: try and make some sense of that. As I said,

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: it is so jam packed tonight. I'm happy to have

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: you with us. Waksahatchie. Texas is tuned in and it's

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: not even the Hummer, so we got at least more

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: than one viewer there in Milton, Florida. Louisville, Kentucky, Salt

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Lake City, Utah. We appreciate you guys so much. Just

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: a little heads up, and then I gotta get moving

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: because we've got a lot to get to. Sometime in

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: the next seven days, the Pate State Store is opening,

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not announcing it. It'll just happen and it'll

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: be there, and I'll probably send you a little heads

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: up on the socials. We got some good stuff in there,

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: some limited supply stuff, put some good stuff in there.

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: I would just encourage you guys to be watching the

51
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: live show Sunday night. That's all I'll say right now.

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Camp Intel everywhere, stuff is starting to happen. Roster moves,

53
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: depth chart moves are starting to be made. I got

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: to start at Penn State, so getting a good batch

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: of intel from State College. Hearing really good things about

56
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: their tight end room wouldn't be the first time they've

57
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: had a good tight end room up there. But they

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: lost Brandon or Brent and Strange to the NFL. So

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: a lot of times in preview magazine season everyone's about

60
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: who you lost. And there may be some names like

61
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: THEO Johnson, for example. People have watched THEO Johnson there before,

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: and make no mistake, they expect big things from THEO

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Johnson this year. However, Tyler Warren is the name I

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: want you paying attention to if you're watching Big Ten

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: play this year, if you're watching Penn State West Virginia

66
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: Week one. There are people close to the Penn State

67
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: program who think Tyler Warren is probably the best kept

68
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: secret there. He played last year, but he played with

69
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I think it was an undisclosed injury. He's full go.

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: He is a mismatch. THEO Johnson and Tyler Warren both

71
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: make up a really, really good and probably underrated Penn

72
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: State tight end room. Keep an eye I believe number

73
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: forty four there, Tyler Warren. Keep an eye on him.

74
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: We're already really high on Penn State this year. I

75
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: have not given out our Big Ten predictions quite yet,

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: but he's one of many reasons why what's happened to

77
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: at Kentucky. I caught some grief today. I caught some

78
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: flak because I said, out of all the teams, I

79
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: mean every one of them, guys, out of all the

80
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: teams that I've gotten intel. In college football, there is

81
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: no program where it sounds like things are going better

82
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: than expected behind the scenes than Kentucky. Hearing a lot

83
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: of good things out of Lexington. So you know, Devin

84
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: Leary's coming in and he's starting at quarterback for them,

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: and he's replacing Will Levis. Now again, preview magazine culture

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: would lead you to believe that a program like Kentucky

87
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: quote unquote cannot lose a guy the caliber of Will

88
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: Levis and just keep on ticking. Well, I'm going to

89
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: do you one better. And I'm not alone in this,

90
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: by the way. There are people really informed around that

91
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: program and feel the same way. I'm going to suggest

92
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: to you they could lose Will Levis and improve at quarterback. Now,

93
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't just have to do with devinon Leary. I'm

94
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna get to him in a second, but bringing Liam

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: Cohen back as your offensive coordinator also has a lot

96
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: to do with this. But let me talk to you

97
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: about Devon Leary. So Leary comes in from NC State,

98
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: he started like a million games. He looked good in

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: the spring, but he was kind of like a quiet

100
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: sort of leader the spring. He's really emerged. Man Like.

101
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: Fall camp could not have gone better. It's probably been

102
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: a better than best case scenario. As it relates to

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: what Kentucky thought they were getting in Devin Leary and

104
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: what they have gotten in him. They haven't played a

105
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: game yet, I know they're ono. I get everything that

106
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: you're saying to me and the replies. I can predict

107
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: what the comments are going to say. Already they hit

108
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: a grand slam. Can you imagine if Devin Leary was

109
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: in Tuscaloose, Alabama right now, for example, Kentucky got him.

110
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: There's a world where Kentucky gets the best quarterback playing

111
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: the SEC this year, and I'm talking about pound for pound,

112
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: all things considered. There's a world where that happens. So

113
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: that means there's a world where Kentucky's really good. I

114
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: think their offensive line has come along, probably as good

115
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: or better than they thought it would. Again, getting Liam

116
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: Cohen back at offensive coordinator means a lot here, but

117
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Gershon has given us a lot of really good

118
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: feedback over at katspaws dot com. That's our Kentucky side

119
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: for those interested in the twenty four to seven Sports network.

120
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: Keeping all of your eligibles alive is always really good

121
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: feedback you get on the offensive side, Like when you're

122
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: trying to complement a quarterback and you're looking at him

123
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: in fall camp and he hasn't ever played for you before.

124
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: When when offensive minded people say things like he keeps

125
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: all of his eligibles alive, it just means he keeps

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: his options alive. He's really good about progressions, he's really

127
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: good about checking down, he's really good about spreading the

128
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: ball around, doesn't get too fixated on one target. They

129
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: got a really good quarterback at Kentucky this year. They're

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: over under win total seven and a half. So I

131
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: had some of you come at me and say, well,

132
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: it was the Texas thing except insert Kentucky. Will we

133
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: do this every year? We do what every year? Well,

134
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: we hype up Kentucky. I don't. Well, some people do

135
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: and they never deliver. Dude, They've got two ten win

136
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: seasons in the past five years there before that, last

137
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: time they did it was the late seventies. The last

138
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: time Kentucky won double digit games before this recent stretch

139
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: was the year rumors came out by Fleetwood. Mac's the

140
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: second show in a row. I've been able to reference rumors.

141
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? They've been great. It's Kentucky

142
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: just because they're not getting Alabama and Georgia results doesn't

143
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: mean they've underachieved. They've massively overachieved. It's Kentucky, that's the

144
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: whole point. So I hear really good things out of

145
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: the Bluegrass State. Now, I'm not gonna spend a ton

146
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: of time on Texas because we talked about him last show,

147
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: but I wanted to switch over to the other side.

148
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about the bright, shiny objects. Everyone's talking about

149
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Texas and wide receiver room as are we, and running

150
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: back room and quarterback as are we. But our guy

151
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: Chip Brown over at Horns twenty four to seven. I

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: saw he put out his position group confidence meter, which

153
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: is almost a good enough idea where I think we

154
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: should steal it. By the way, but you know what's

155
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: crazy is out of all of the out of all

156
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: the position groups on that team, a guy that covers

157
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: the team as close as anyone thinks defensive line is

158
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the most confident position for Texas right now. Now, would

159
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: you just think that on the surface, I would have

160
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: thought wide out that's number two, by the way, So tech,

161
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: when you think about them in your mind over the

162
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: past few years, what do you think about Because I

163
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: think about them not being able to stand up for

164
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: four quarters defensively, I think about them getting thrown on

165
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: a lot. And yet, what have we been talking about

166
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: on this show? At least we've talked to fair amount

167
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: about the offense. But I told you and I'll tell

168
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: you again because it's the feedback I keep getting. It

169
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: has not been easy to run the ball in those

170
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: Texas practices. And I don't think it's caused their offensive

171
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: line is terrible. I don't think it's caused that running

172
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: back stable is terrible. I really think they've improved massively

173
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: the kind of bodies they have on the lines of scrimmage,

174
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: specifically on the defensive front, and starting to develop depth

175
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: there as well. They haven't had that. Folks can casually

176
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: tell you all they want to. Oh, Texas has always

177
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: had talent. We've gone over that. No, they haven't. Not

178
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: like this, they haven't. So offensive line. Look, I think

179
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: offensive line is going to be okay for him. I

180
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: think they're facing a really really overwhelming unit at times

181
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: in practice. And so the feedback we get right now

182
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: is it is not easy going trying to run between

183
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: the tackles against that Texas front. Let's keep an eye

184
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: on it. Let's keep an eye. What about West Virginia.

185
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: Michael Cazaza runs Earsports, and ear Sports is the place

186
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: you can go if you want a lot more on

187
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: West Virginia. But there's a lot of hot seat talking

188
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: around Neil Brown. We don't do a whole lot of

189
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: the hot seat stuff on this show. I reference it.

190
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: It's reality. There's a lot of pressure on Neil Brown

191
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: to win this year. He's on his third offensive coordinator

192
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: in three years. He will call plays this year. They

193
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: haven't been a great portal team. The reality is West

194
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: Virginia's probably going to have to be a great portal team.

195
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: They haven't been maybe until now, and I'm skeptical maybe

196
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: until now. They feel like they probably hit better in

197
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: this past cycle than they did the past few cycles.

198
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Devin Carter was a guy they got from the portal

199
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: who will probably be a number one receiver for them,

200
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: or at least an integral part of their passing offense.

201
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: He was the number seventy two rank transfer, who's the

202
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: number fifteen wide receiver. He came from NC State, so

203
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: he headed out when a lot of the other guys

204
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: headed out. They got a couple of DB's Anthony Wilson, Beanie, Bishop,

205
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: Beanie Bishop, really good name possible all name candidate there.

206
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: So if West Virginia hit on those guys, it's no guarantee.

207
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: It's not like all of a sudden you sound the

208
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: upset horn against Penn State in Week one. But those

209
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: kind of guys could be the difference in five wins

210
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: versus eight wins and Neil Brown being there next year

211
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: versus him not. So that's something to keep an eye on.

212
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: And at ole Miss, I didn't want to get past

213
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: this before mentioning Michael Trigg was their number one tight

214
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: end last year. And Trigg's running with the twos, or

215
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: at least he has been the last few practices, and

216
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: that's because Caden pre Scorn is running with the ones.

217
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: And I say that name very delicately. Cayden pre Scorn.

218
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: He comes there by way of Memphis and had six

219
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: hundred and two receiving yards seven touchdowns for Memphis last year.

220
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Depth at the very least being provided at the tight

221
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: end position, they have a defense. At ole Miss made

222
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: up almost entirely of transfers. Listen to this, so I

223
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: think it was yesterday or maybe today, just recently in practice.

224
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: If you look at the starting eleven on defense, eight

225
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: of the eleven transferred there within the last two cycles.

226
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: When we were at SEC media days, someone asked Lane Kiffin,

227
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: do you know the names of all the players on

228
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: your roster? And Kiffen was honest and said, I probably

229
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: couldn't pass that test right now. And look, that's not

230
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: really that big a deal in the transfer portal era

231
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: when you're as active as they are. If most guys

232
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: were honest with you, the ones who have to be active,

233
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: several of them would say that. And he was talking

234
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: about the spring, by the way. He was saying, in

235
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: the spring, we were on the practice field and wo'd

236
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: be watching post practice film and would be calling guys

237
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: by numbers because we literally couldn't remember their names, just

238
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: boom boom off the top of our head. Franklin, by

239
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: the way, is so I'm looking at Zachari Franklin not

240
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: practicing because I remember back in the spring. This is

241
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: still old, miss. I remember back in the spring they

242
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: had to dismiss Chris Marshall and they were needing help

243
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: out of the portal at wide receiver, and so they

244
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: got Franklin and he figured to possibly be a number

245
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: one for him. He hasn't practiced, so it's not like

246
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: an immediate crisis right now. But you got, you know,

247
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: you got chemistry to build. Hopefully you got Jackson Dart

248
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: still running with the ones at quarterback for those not

249
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: keeping track. So there are a lot of things in

250
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: a state of flux right now as it relates to

251
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: old Miss And that's what again, as memo said, that's

252
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: what God invented fall Camp for. We need to give

253
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: away a chalice right quick. This has been going great,

254
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: this has been going wonderfully. So a chalalice of supremacy

255
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: is earned when you support the show in a very

256
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: very public manner and when you promote the show in

257
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: a very very public manner. Maybe we should send macelroy one,

258
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: by the way, But tonight, tonight, we're sending a chalice

259
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: to our buddy Nathan. What has Nathan been up to

260
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: lately in his life? Well, he's been moved, moving from

261
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: somewhere in Indiana to somewhere in Utah. He provided the

262
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: GPS screenshot as evidence. He said, I'm moving cross country

263
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: and I put subscribe to late Kick all over my car.

264
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Is this chalice worthy? Well, Nathan, paper pop Challice on

265
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: the way, my friend DM me your shipping info and

266
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Jesse slash New Meredith whoever gets here first, we'll get

267
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: on that and we'll get a Chaalie cent your way.

268
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. The August of Chalai giveaway

269
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: continues on the Sunday Night Show. And I appreciate it.

270
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of you. I can't give one

271
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: to everyone. I've seen a lot of you, and I

272
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: sincerely appreciate it. Make sure you like the video. By

273
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: the way, if you're watching live here a growing audience

274
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: as we speak. Let's do some what ifs here. What

275
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: ifs have hit chapter twenty seven and they're getting more

276
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and more creative, as evidenced by this first what if tonight.

277
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Not quite sure what level of boldness this would be,

278
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: but Dylan said, what if a team not named LSU

279
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: or Alabama or ts A and M when's the SEC West, Well,

280
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: it would be an earthquake in the SEC. It would

281
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: be an earthquake. In the college football playoff picture, we

282
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: are of course, left with either Ole, miss Auburn, Arkansas,

283
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: or Mississippi State winning the division. That means one of

284
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: those teams play in Atlanta. Auburn's played there recently, obviously,

285
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: none of the others have been there recently. So Number one,

286
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: I think about who's waiting for them in Atlanta, probably Georgia,

287
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: And you would probably suggest that that means someone's being

288
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: served up to them. Again, that's all probably because that's

289
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: what August is about. Who would you think it is, though,

290
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: just for fun, would you think it's Auburn? Would you

291
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: think Ole Miss just struck lightning in a bottle or

292
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: found lightning in a bottle over there in Oxford. You

293
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: know my proclivity for loving Arkansas, love them, but I

294
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: felt a little Mississippi State energy on this. Mississippi State

295
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: is the one that gets LSU and Bama at home.

296
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: They don't play Georgia in the regular season. They get

297
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: ole Miss at home at the end of the year,

298
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: and really nothing is known about them, which is ridiculous

299
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: because you should know everything you need to know about them.

300
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: And I'm speaking as I'm speaking as the future college

301
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: football commissioner who tries to know all about every team.

302
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying the public is out to lunch on Mississippi State.

303
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: It's one of the most underrated teams in the country.

304
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to you about them later in

305
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: the show. No one knows anything about him, and like

306
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: eighteen or nineteen of their returning starter is going to

307
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: be seniors this year. It's wild. Also, you got like

308
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: a fifteen million yard career passer who's returning at quarterback

309
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: and people are like, oh, Mississippi State kind of enematic,

310
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: don't know much about them. They'd probably be the one

311
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: that pulled this off. If someone pulled this off, it's

312
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: a stretch, I'll grant you that. But if someone did it,

313
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe it's Zach Arnett. Oh, by the way, that's the

314
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: story of the year. If Zach Arnett takes them to Atlanta.

315
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: We saw Brian Kelly do it out of nowhere last year.

316
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it's maybe it's our next term. Next up. This

317
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: one gets a little this one gets a little spicy.

318
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Brayden said, what if Florida State trounces both Miami and

319
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: Florida in November? Pointspread alert, We got them for you.

320
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: FSU is minus fifteen at home against Miami. That's in

321
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: week eleven, so over a two touchdown favorite. In week thirteen,

322
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: they are favored by nine on the road against Florida

323
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: those are current lines. You could bet money on those

324
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: right now if you wanted to. Not quite raw Ma

325
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: Noodle Express material yet, we'll see. What does trounce mean?

326
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: Is it two touchdowns? Well, if it is, you just

327
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: pushed basically against Miami, like that's not out of the

328
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: Roman possibility at all, and you covered, but even not

329
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: significantly against Florida. FSU is favored pretty much to do this.

330
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: So if they do it, I guess they lived up

331
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: to expectation. That's the funny thing about it. Expectation all

332
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you have to live up to it

333
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: when it's higher. The second thing would be imagine recruiting.

334
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: Imagine what they're saying in recruiting. Imagine Mike Norvel and

335
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: his staff being able to go into living rooms and say, hey,

336
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: everything else they sell you is irrelevant. We're selling you results.

337
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: Look what we just did and it's not going to stop.

338
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: And whether they're right about that or not, they would

339
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: have earned the right to preach that in living rooms.

340
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: They would probably also, let's just be real about this,

341
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: they would also trigger a massive spike in donations. Their

342
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: NIO fund down there would massively benefit because of this,

343
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: So it would all be trending up for Florida State.

344
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: And then you also have to ask the very very

345
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: here and now question of well, if they trounced both

346
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: of them, was it en route to going undefeated in

347
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: the regular season? Like did they also do it to

348
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: Clemson hoom Stouts? Did they trounce? So that could be

349
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: fun times. Not in Gainsville or Coral Gables necessarily, but

350
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: that could be fun times. Next up, let's go to

351
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. Marshall said, what if Wisconsin upsets Ohio

352
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: State and win's the Big Ten West? Well, Luke Ficklestock

353
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: would go through the roof. I would argue it should

354
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: already be there, but it would validate his vision. They're

355
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: doing a lot of things different at Wisconsin this year.

356
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: Some like myself, think it'll pay off and pay off

357
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: pretty big time. I don't know about year one, but

358
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: they took steps to try and immediately win. They took

359
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: steps in the transfer portal, namely at quarterback, to try

360
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: and immediately win. So when does this game happen? This

361
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: little Ohio State Wisconsin tilled, Well, it happens. What week

362
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: is it, Jesse Colin, You don't have to put the

363
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: schedule up Week nine. Okay, so it's a little bit

364
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: later in the year. I think it's Ohio State's toughest

365
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: road game, at least in conference. They have to go

366
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame too. The line's nine and a half

367
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: on this game right now. You could also bet that

368
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: right now Ohio State minus nine and a half. It

369
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: would be a great sign for the Big Ten. It

370
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: would also be history because this is the last year

371
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: of divisions up there. And if Wisconsin wins, if they

372
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: go on, let's just say, to win the conference, the

373
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Big Ten West would break an oh for streak. They

374
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: are and nine. The Big Ten West is oh and

375
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: nine in the conference title game, they never won one.

376
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: So now how fitting would that be? And also what

377
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: kind of mess what kind of blender would this throw

378
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: Penn State, Michigan and Ohio State into if Wisconsin just

379
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: goes on. I know you just said win division. I'm

380
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: having fun with it. What if they win the whole conference?

381
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: And lastly, what about Washington? Talking Washington a little bit

382
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: later in the show too, so you want to stick

383
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: around for that. But in the meantime, Brooks said, what

384
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: if Washington wins the PAC twelve? Well, they've got the

385
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: number two odds to win the PAC twelve, and that's

386
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: recent They overtook Oregon in the odds market. Does someone

387
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: know something? I don't know. It wasn't me. I didn't

388
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: bet on him yet. So this means Michael Penny shined.

389
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: This means Michael Pennix changed his life forever. I mean

390
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: he's about to make life changing money and he was

391
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: not on a path to do that two years ago.

392
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: By this point, at Indiana, they will also Washington. They

393
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: may also become the only Pac twelve team to make

394
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: the playoff twice, and then they'll they'll speaking of two,

395
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: just keep holding those two fingers up. But then all

396
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's deuces to the PAC twelve. We gone,

397
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: We're headed to the Big ten. So it would be

398
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: like the one of the most cruel or appropriate curtains

399
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: to drop on the chapter of college football that was

400
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve, depending on your perspective. I got so

401
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: much to get to. We are going to announce a

402
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: tour destination, a tour name. I got a lot to

403
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: get to. Academy Sports and Outdoors is where I would

404
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: like to get you, probably after the show. Academy Sports

405
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: and outdoors. Also, I should remind you it is time

406
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: to gear up for tailgating season. And that's really to

407
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: me where Academy shines. Yes, the spring, sports, Yes, outdoor camping,

408
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: et cetera, grilling, et cetera. They're your destination. But man,

409
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: when I go to Campi, which is the plural of campus,

410
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: When I go to CAMPI in the fall and I

411
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: see those tents all over the place, I really learn

412
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: a lot about the character of someone based on whether

413
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: it's an Academy Sports, an outdoors tent, or just some

414
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: generic tent. Like if you're already going to buy one,

415
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: why not do yourself the favor of shopping with the best,

416
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: And by best, I don't mean highest priced either, quite

417
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: the opposite in most cases. And then you've got to

418
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: have the chairs as well. So they got the tents,

419
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: they got the chairs, they also have the thing you

420
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: have to grill your food on. In some cases, who

421
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: knows you stop buy Academy at the right time, and

422
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: they may have even more than that. But if you

423
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: can't get there in person, can't stress enough. Academy dot

424
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: Com is there for all of your outdoor sporting goods needs,

425
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: your tailgating needs your life needs. I'm told the cashiers

426
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: give really good life advice that's not in the ad

427
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: copy for me to read. And I know I'm putting

428
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on the Academy cashiers across the country,

429
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: but they can handle it. I know these people, they

430
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: can handle it. So Academy Sports and Outdoors they make

431
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: our show free for you. Feel free to give them

432
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: a visit. It's that time, people, It's time for us

433
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: to dust off the jpepole and Sunday night, I'm going

434
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: to I'm gonna show you the full JP pole. I

435
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: probably should refresh your memory as to what that is

436
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: because we have like tons of new listeners and viewers.

437
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: A long time ago, we got tired of the A people,

438
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the club, right. A lot of you have

439
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: felt that way for a long time. But why complain

440
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: when you can do something about it? And so I

441
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: started to do the jpeople, And that's really taking our model.

442
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not alone on this. I partner with someone

443
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: who does numbers for a living, just eats, sleeps, and

444
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: breathes numbers, looks at a calculator and is actually attracted

445
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: to that thing. That's how good this person is. With numbers,

446
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: and I partnered with this person and we developed our

447
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: own model. Over the years, we use it to bet

448
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: a lot. But that's not what this is about. This

449
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: is about power ratings. This is about developing a more

450
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: true North Star rating system than the very very happless

451
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: AP pole can sometimes be. The AP PO will let

452
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: you down. The JP pole will too, just not nearly

453
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: as often. Thus our motto. So what I wanted to

454
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: do is Sunday night, I'll debut that whole thing. But

455
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: tonight I wanted to give you four teams that I

456
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: think are underrated AP pole compared to JP pole, And

457
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you four teams that are overrated

458
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: in the interest to fairness AP pole versus JP Pole.

459
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: So Colin, here's your endpoint, paper stack. Let's look at

460
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: the AP pole. Let's compare it to our Inside Baseball

461
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: JP pole, and let's talk about most underrated teams in

462
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: the country. Out of all the teams in the top

463
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: twenty five where the AP disagrees with our model the most,

464
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: the Oregon Ducks are the most underrated team in the

465
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: top twenty five. THEP has them at fifteen. You know

466
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: where the model had the audacity to rank Oregon. The

467
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: jpeepole has Oregon at number five five people. I said five,

468
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: as in on the precipice of playoff contention. That's the

469
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: biggest discrepancy. I think bo Nix is still undervalued. The

470
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: model thinks bo Nix is still undervalued as a quarterback.

471
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: But also, and this is where I think Rubber probably

472
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: meets Road about the discrepancy, we think their line of

473
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: scrimmage talent both sides is still a little undervalued, and

474
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: that especially goes for offensive line because they're having to

475
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: replace a lot so in preview season, in August camp season,

476
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: people still sometimes can't get it through their heads that

477
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 1: just because you're replacing departed starters, it doesn't always mean

478
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: you fall off. We don't think Oregon's falling off a

479
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: lot there. And conversely, on the other side of the ball,

480
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: we think there's a pretty sizable improvement coming this year.

481
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: So the totality of the roster, the value of the

482
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: quarterback position, the year one to year two coaching, it

483
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: advantage that I think they'll get from Dan Lanning and

484
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: a lot of his staff having been there a full year,

485
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: and the energy around the program, which you can't really quantify.

486
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: That's got Oregon way up there in the model, way

487
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: up there, number five. Are you crazy? No, So stay

488
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: tuned on where we predict them to go in the

489
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: PAC twelve and beyond. Next up, I'm gonna do it.

490
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. Am I gonna do it? Yeah,

491
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. Texas A and M one of

492
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: the most underrated teams in the country. Someone call Louci

493
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: and tell them to watch the show. AP has A

494
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: and M at twenty three. Frankly, I was shocked they

495
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: ranked A and M so good on the voters. They

496
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: got A and M at twenty third. It's not high

497
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: enough the model. The jpeople has A and M at fourteenth. Now,

498
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: we just aren't baking in twenty twenty two. And if

499
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: you're an AP voter, what else do you have to

500
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: go on? Right, So you're baking in twenty twenty two.

501
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: We're all about where we think the team is now.

502
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: We're about where we think the team is going. So

503
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: whether you won close games or lost close games last year,

504
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: the model would just look at you as the same team. Roughly,

505
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: I know an AP voter doesn't think that way. We

506
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: love the roster. We think the staff upgraded. There was

507
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: a net upgrade there, and that counts. I'm not quite

508
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: at the Dave bar two level of, you know, properly

509
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: rating and grading every coach in America. Here there and Yon,

510
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: as A Jr. Would say, but we do think there

511
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: was a staff upgrade. This is a top five team

512
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: in blue chip ratio. It is a top five roster

513
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: in college football. I know the record was bad last year.

514
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: It's all the more reason to me to expect a

515
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: little bounce back. Number two defense projected by S and

516
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: P plus in the country this year. We think A

517
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: and M is underrated number fourteen. How about that again,

518
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: you want story of the year potential. There it is

519
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: right in front of your face in college station. I'm

520
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: staying in the SEC West, and this is where it's

521
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: time to crack the knuckles a little bit. Mississippi State's

522
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: the most underrated team on this list for us. The

523
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: AP had Mississippi State ranked fortieth preseason. We've got him

524
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: top twenty five at number twenty five. Actually so the

525
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: JP pole our internal model has Mississippi State as a

526
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: top twenty five team. This is one of those classic

527
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: logo and schedule flaw and logic conundrums. We don't have

528
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: an acronym for that right now, but we should so.

529
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: The logo in Mississippi State automatically has a connotation. People

530
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: are not apt to believe in it blindly. The schedule

531
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: is something that never should enter the equation when you're

532
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: ranking a team, and that goes a little something like this,

533
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: where should I rank Mississippi State. Well, let's look at

534
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: their schedule. I think they'll go seven and five. That's irrelevant,

535
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: totally irrelevant, whether they play a Connecticut high school schedule

536
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: or they play in the NFC West. They are the

537
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: team they are so in power ratings Land we couldn't

538
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: care less who they play because that it's a variable

539
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be baked into the quality of team they are.

540
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: Imagine this, though, when you want to know to me

541
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: how flawed the doubt is around Mississippi State, I want

542
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: you to imagine a more established ACC or Big ten

543
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: West brand that returns a ten thousand yard career passer.

544
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: Twenty of twenty two starters being seniors. They got grown

545
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: men everywhere nine wins last year. Their losses among those

546
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: four were to LSU Georgia. That's literally your SEC title

547
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: game Alabama, which won the Sugar Bowl in Kentucky. I

548
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: think if that team's in the Big Ten West, I

549
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: think if that's an ACC team during the preseason top fifteen,

550
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: they're not there because it's Mississippi State. And I would

551
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: also be remiss if I didn't mention the coaching situation,

552
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: a very abnormal coaching situation. So I think that's being

553
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: baked in the wrong way. I think that's a top

554
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: twenty five team. And by I I mean me and

555
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: the Model. And lastly, why not go to Lubbock, Texas

556
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: And I'm going there because Texas Tech is one of

557
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: the most underrated teams we have in college football this year.

558
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: Now the discrepancy is not as big, so the AP

559
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: has Texas Tech at twenty six. What a disgrace, Red

560
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: Raiders not even in the top twenty five. Well we

561
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: took care of him. We got him at twenty one.

562
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: Models love in Texas Tech coming off the most wins

563
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: since twenty thirteen. Now that doesn't necessarily matter when it's

564
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: baked into this year, but I want to remind you

565
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: this is not a team that's been left for dead.

566
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: They showed signs last year. I personally think we probably

567
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: have Tyler Shuck rated higher as a quarterback than maybe

568
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: an AP voter does in his or her mind. And

569
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: I just want to remind you, guys, you're free to doubt.

570
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: It's your constitutional right to doubt a quarterback. It's one

571
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: of the amendments actually, according to three year letterman. And

572
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: I just want to remind you guys as you decide

573
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: who to doubt and who not to doubt. Tyler Shuck

574
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: is eight and oh in games he starts and finishes

575
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: at Texas Tech, it gets no better. I guess the

576
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: health could get better, but the record gets no better.

577
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: There's an energy around the program. I'll also non quantifiable, unquantifiable,

578
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 1: maybe even inquantifiable. They're better than twenty six. That's what

579
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. This dark horse Big twelve title contention

580
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: energy around Texas Tech this year. And I know that

581
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: sentence was a little bit too convoluted to put in

582
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: the hype video, but I believe in Texas Tech, so

583
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: you can put that in there. However, as we know,

584
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: with every batch of underrated comes a batch of overrated.

585
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: So sorry, Colin had to reach for the chapstick, very unprofessional,

586
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: still a very low do point in Nashville. That's about

587
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: to change. So these are the kinds of things that

588
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: I get accused of never doing, speaking negatively of people.

589
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: So I do want to I do want to warn

590
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: you about to say some mean things about some teams,

591
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: and I just want to remind you it's not me.

592
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: Don't take it personal. When good things are said, feel

593
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: free to quote me. When bad things are said, it's

594
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: the Model. Hold on just a second, hey, Cole Cuberly,

595
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: how can I help you? Sir? Do you steal my idea?

596
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: Yet you don't ever give me ideas? Goodbye? There were

597
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: some allegations that I was going to steal an idea

598
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: from Cole cublet. Whether that idea has already been stolen

599
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: and used in the show yet, don't ask me. I'm

600
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: a very very bad source on that. All right, So

601
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about some overrated teams, and remember, if your

602
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: feelings get hurt, it wasn't me. It's the Model. One

603
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: of the more overrated teams as it relates to the

604
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: AP poll versus the JP pole is North Carolina. The

605
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: AP has North Carolina at twentieth. The JP pole has

606
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: North Carolina outside the top twenty five, barely at number

607
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: twenty six. This is a Drake May ranking to me.

608
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: I think them being at number twenty is a quarterback ranking,

609
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: which is fine because you're not gonna hear me say

610
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: anything negative about that guy. But the defense may still

611
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: be a mess. Guys, we're talking top twenty now. You

612
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: put him in the top twenty, I don't know about that. Also,

613
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: Antoine Green and Josh Down's combined for over eighteen hundred

614
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: receiving yards last year. Now, I am the first to

615
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: tell you, just because you lose players at the college

616
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: game does not really mean much of anything. You may

617
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: have replentished the coffers with better players than you lost,

618
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: and they tried to do that with Devontes Walker. Well,

619
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: my problem, which is really an NCAA problem, is his

620
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: waiver hasn't been approved yet, so I don't even know

621
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: if he's gonna play. As of now, he is not

622
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: on their roster, and so I don't know what to

623
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: do with that. I will tell you that's not gonna

624
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: make a massive difference in a team rating, obviously, but

625
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: they lost fifteen defenders to the Portal. I just I

626
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: don't know that I see the caliber of athlete defensively here,

627
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know that Drake May can single handedly

628
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: carry a team to a top twenty level performance this year.

629
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: So we got him at number twenty six. Next up,

630
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna admit to you this surprised me a

631
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: little bit. But we got Washington as one of the

632
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: most overrated teams in the preseason. Now again this surprised me.

633
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: But the model knows what the model knows. So the

634
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: AP has Washington all the way up at number ten.

635
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: The jpeopole has Washington at twenty three. For the record,

636
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: that's a gap of about four point seventy five points,

637
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: which is not small immunity. I look at what Michael

638
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 1: Pennox did last year and it was wonderful. I look

639
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: at what Washington did last year and it was wonderful.

640
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: I think what the model sees is this is not

641
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: a stacked roster talent wise, and it's always going to

642
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: factor that in. And also, when you perform that far

643
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: above whatever your talent expectation would have you performing at,

644
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: unless you've done it ten years in a row, it's

645
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: gonna think that you probably were above your skis a

646
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: little bit or actually not, that's not that's the wrong metaphor.

647
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: You probably were, as Memo would say, a little bit

648
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: too big for your breeches one year, and so your

649
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: results are probably going to come back more towards where

650
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: they should be the next year. That's not all encompassing.

651
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't always happen that way. But they had a school

652
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: record in totally yours last year. Penix was on fire

653
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: last year. Is it more likely that you have a

654
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: team that's just about to do that out of the

655
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: gate again, or is it more likely that you look

656
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: at them and say, hey, they're good again this year,

657
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: but just not quite at the level that we saw

658
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: them last year. They're still top twenty five, they just

659
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: I think they need a better talent level to warrant

660
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: that top ten consideration. And also pass defense was a

661
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: problem last year. Is that the kind of unit that improved?

662
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 1: How much did they improve? Still believe in them again,

663
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: They're not off a cliff, but I got them much

664
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: lower than the AP. What about Kansas State? Man? This

665
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: one also surprised me. Are we anti Purple's valid question?

666
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: I think at this point the AP has Kansas State

667
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: at sixteen and the JP Pole has them all the

668
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: way at thirty three. I know some folks on that staff.

669
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna hear from them, and this is

670
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: exactly why I'm ready to throw the Model under the bus.

671
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm not taking any blame for this. Okay, go Wildcats.

672
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: That's a quote from JP here. But as for the

673
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: JP poll down on Kansas State, duce Vaughan was a

674
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: really important player there. Now, big time players go to

675
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: the draft all the time. At a place like Kansas State,

676
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: where they're not parenially parked in the top ten of recruiting,

677
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: it matters more when they walk out the door. They

678
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: lost their top corner. They lost a great pass rusher

679
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: to the first round. I believe in Chris Kliment. I

680
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: believe in the program. Actually, I think it's one of

681
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: the most solid programs in America. However, we're talking about

682
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: a top fifteen sixteen, a top sixteen caliber performance here

683
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: according to the AP. I have a hard time seeing that,

684
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: and so does the JP Pole. It's pretty much as

685
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: simple as that. Guys, they lost too many high impact players,

686
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: and the Model doesn't think that you just readily replace

687
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: those guys in Manhattan, Kansas. That's the long and short

688
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: of it. And lastly, this was pretty easy to understand.

689
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: The model thinks Twu Lane's way overrating the AP. I

690
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: think Jesse I had it written down backwards. So the

691
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: AP has him at twenty four and we got him

692
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: at forty nine. But this is almost like its own

693
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: separate category. When you have G five teens, they're held

694
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: to a different standard. It's not fair, but it's like

695
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: when when I had a sister three years younger than

696
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: me growing up. My sister could walk up to me

697
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: and slap me in the face if I so much

698
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: as thumped her on the ear. I'm getting in trouble.

699
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: She's just held to a different standard. She could get

700
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: away with things that I could not get away with.

701
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: This is well documented. Anyone around our household would know that,

702
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: but her and so with a G five team, you

703
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: know their talent roster does not match up with a

704
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: team in the SEC. You know they would not be

705
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: able to withstand an SEC schedule. You're just as an

706
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: AP poll voter. You're willing to overlook all that. You're

707
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: willing to hold your nose or plug your ears and

708
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: close your eyes and vote them up there anyway, because

709
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: you're actually willing to allow them to operate based on

710
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: a different standard. Past success has a lot to do

711
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: with this. Record projection has a lot to do with this.

712
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: You know full well, if I hadn't play Arkansas schedule,

713
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: they're over underwind, total would not be nine and a half,

714
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: and yet they're up there. Any I have no problem

715
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: with Tulane. I know it sounds like I do. If

716
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: we're trying to power rate teams, there's no way that's

717
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: a top twenty five team. So in other words, what

718
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying is I think there are more than twenty

719
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: five teams who I could put on a field with

720
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: them tomorrow and it would go the way of them

721
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: and not two Lane. That's all that means. Still a

722
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: good team, a very good G five team. It's just

723
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? I guess it's the question

724
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? I'll tell you what we're

725
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: doing here, And this coming from a guy who went

726
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: to a tu Lane game last year on the Every

727
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: Given Saturday Tour, I'll tell you what we're doing Right now,

728
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: it's time to announce the twenty twenty three Tour name,

729
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: and it's time to announce where we're going week one,

730
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: so we had a lot of submissions. I put the

731
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: call out in the spring, give me submissions, what do

732
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: you think the tour name should be? We had some

733
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: really good ideas Before I tell you what the winner was,

734
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: Like three of you came up with an idea that

735
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: was the twenty three and Mema Tour twenty three and

736
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: me is that genealogy DNA quiz that they sell and

737
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: you hear me reference Mema on the show all the time,

738
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: and it's the year twenty twenty three, and so some

739
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 1: of you thought it should be called the twenty three

740
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: and Mema Tour, which is wonderful. It didn't win because

741
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't think enough people would have the slightest clue

742
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: what that means, but it was wonderful. What I wanted

743
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: to do this year is I wanted to hit on

744
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: the finality of an era of college football. I think

745
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: this will be big time storytelling material one day, like

746
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: for better or for worse, wherever you stand on the

747
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: future of our sport and the current state of our sport,

748
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: think about this year and how significant it is, and

749
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: then also think about how chaotic this season could be.

750
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: Make no mistake when they don't know who's going to

751
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: start for them at quarterback yet in places like Tuscaloosa

752
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: or Ohio State, when Clemson has a lot of questions,

753
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: so much so they had to fire a coordinator one

754
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: year in and bring the guy from TCU in. When

755
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: there are that many questions at major programs, you could

756
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: be setting yourself up for the kind of year you

757
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: tell your kids about one day, kind of like we

758
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: talk about two thousand and seven. So I thought, how

759
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: do we mix that romanticism and finality and sort of

760
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: mysticism and storytelling into a game that's played on Saturday.

761
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: And what we came up with is the once upon

762
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: a Saturday tour. And where I'm going with the once

763
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: upon a Saturday tour in Week one is not even

764
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: a Saturday game. We're headed to Salt Lake City, Utah

765
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: for Week one. That is Florida at Utah. And why

766
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: are we going there? Because they're having the good sense

767
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: to play a major out of conference game in a

768
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: home venue instead of a neutral site. There are other

769
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: good games in Week one, a lot of them are

770
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: at neutral sites. I've never been to Utah, never been

771
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: to a game in Utah. We're gonna change that we

772
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: get to go to Ricycle Stadium. We get to go

773
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: watch Billy Napier and the Gators. About an eight point favorite,

774
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: could be seven, could be nine. By kickoff, Kyle Whittingham

775
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: coming off. Yet another Pack twelve championship out there. Just

776
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: ho hum, another Pac twelve title. This was a classic

777
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 1: last year. I remember sitting in a public's parking garage

778
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: in downtown Nashville listening to the end of the game

779
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: on a radio because I had just gotten home from

780
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: my Week one game, and I think this one could

781
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,479
Speaker 1: be as well. Just a sneaky feeling that we picked

782
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: an instant classic for Week one. So the once upon

783
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: a Saturday tour is upon us, looking very forward to it.

784
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: It would not surprise me at all if there was

785
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: merch with that insignia on it in the Pate State

786
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: Store when it opens sometime within the next week. I'm

787
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: so happy college football is almost here, and yet there

788
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: is so much left to be decided. So we did

789
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: the camp Intel to open the show, which we do

790
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: to open pretty much every show. In August. We were

791
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: going to talk about Alabama. I have fielded so many

792
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: questions about Alabama, and I've gotten so much feedback, which

793
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: led to much of nothing from Alabama. I thought we

794
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: should do our own segment on this for a second tonight. Colin,

795
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: here's a better roompoint for you. Wild wild times are

796
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: unfolding in Tuscaloosa because they've got a championship roster down there,

797
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: except they don't have the slightest clue who their quarterback's

798
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: going to be. And I mean that, I mean Nick

799
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: Saban steps to the podium the other day in a

800
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: post practice press conference and says, Hey, I've been telling

801
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks force me to play you. He's just begging

802
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: one of them please emerge. I have recruited my tail

803
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: off at every other position, and we thought we had

804
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: this position sewn up. Think about that. By the way, guys,

805
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: these were not scrubs. Ty Simpson had offers from coast

806
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: to coast. Jalen Milroe did a Tyler butner as well

807
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: when he went to Notre Dame. And yet you want

808
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: to know what the most frequently texted question to me

809
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: has been from some people who should know better over

810
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,959
Speaker 1: the past seventy two hours. Josh is Dylan Lonergan gonna

811
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: end up starting for Alabama? No, he's not. Budd he's

812
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: a really good player, and I know some of you

813
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: saw him in that spring game, and he's for the record,

814
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: if you don't know who that is, that's a four

815
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: star true freshman probably playing out of his mind right

816
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: now because there's really not the same pressure on him

817
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: that there is on those other guys. And I think

818
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: folks who got access to that scrimmage and folks who

819
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: have seen the spring game and folks who understand the

820
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: mechanics of quarterback have looked at him and said, well,

821
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: if everyone else is a question mark, what about this dude? Hey,

822
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: if we're gonna bite the bullet anyway, why don't we

823
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: do it with a true freshman. Well, I'll tell you why, Couse,

824
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: true freshmen make catastrophic decisions, and on a team that's

825
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna probably be a pretty low margin for error outfit

826
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: this year, they can't afford that. So in a world,

827
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: for here's what I'm trying to tell you, in a

828
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: world where the head coach there, once upon a time

829
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't even start to a tongue of iloa over Jalen Hurts,

830
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: I highly doubt that Nick Sabans all of a sudden

831
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: rolling the dice on Dylan Lanigan in time, that guy

832
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 1: could be a star. I just don't think it's Week

833
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: one against Middle Tennessee State. So I want to move

834
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: past that. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong because I'm

835
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: not saying he hasn't shined. In fact, quite the opposite.

836
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: I think he's opened a lot of eyes in fall camp.

837
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: There's a big difference in opening eyes in the first

838
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: scrimmage or the spring game and Nick Saban saying you're

839
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: my guy. That I don't think's happening there. But they

840
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: do have a really key scrimmage coming up Saturday. When's

841
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: the last time you saw Alabama not be a quarterback

842
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: centric team? Because they were with Bryce, they really were

843
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: with Mac Jones. They certainly were with Tua. They were

844
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts, especially in the latter portion, although I

845
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: would argue that was a little bit different dynamic on

846
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: that team. But I'm talking about like Jake Cocher circa

847
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: Alabama and before you scoff at that, that twenty fifteen

848
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: team won a national championship, And so I'm thinking to

849
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: myself since spring, I've thought to myself, might they have

850
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: the kind of team that can win regardless of who starts,

851
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: and if it's really that close or the competition down

852
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: there is really that close, I'm thinking to myself, well,

853
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 1: well who would I go with? And you know, famously,

854
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: I've changed my mind on this a million times now.

855
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: I'm not on the Tyler Butner train, haven't been since

856
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: he transferred there. Have never thought he was going to

857
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: win the job. But Jalen Melroe, ty Simpson, we're no

858
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: closer really to an answer than I feel like we

859
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: have been. I think if they started the season today,

860
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: I think Milroe would be the starter. Doesn't mean much

861
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,959
Speaker 1: of anything. I mean that could change, That could change,

862
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: drive to drive this Saturday. But what I will tell you,

863
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 1: and I'm going to keep arping on this, is there

864
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of folks out there and just someone's

865
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: going to be really right on this and really wrong.

866
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: There are a lot of folks out there who doubt

867
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: that this team can be a championship caliber team because

868
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: they think there's this massive hole at quarterback. I certainly

869
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: agree with you if you say they don't have a

870
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: star caliber quarterback. What I am also confident in is

871
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: I think they got a legit offensive line. And I

872
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: keep hearing more and more things to make me more

873
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: and more confident in that, Like Caden Proctor, for example,

874
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: that left tackle out of Iowa is going to start

875
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: for them at left tackle and is going to be

876
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: a stud Ferguson, I think it left guard has really

877
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: come on. I think they go, like Nick Saban said,

878
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: about seven or eight deep with guys they feel they

879
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: can win with in the SEC and you have not

880
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: said that in a long time. I think they've been

881
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: pounding the ball in practice like they hadn't been able

882
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: to count on doing in a long time. And I

883
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: think their defensive backs are playing at the caliber and

884
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: really linebackers as well, that they haven't in a long time.

885
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: There's also this understanding and frankly, I think this has

886
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: happened in at two places. I think it's happened in

887
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: at Bama and I think it's happened in Ohio State

888
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: right now, where those teams have known since opening spring camp.

889
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: We don't have a CJ. Stroud or Bryce Young here,

890
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: but all of us were former four and five stars.

891
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: So the collective makeup in this locker room is good

892
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: enough to win a title. Like there's J. T. Twomloa

893
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: over there in Columbus, there's Dallas Turner down here. They

894
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: got half a dozen former five stars just at the

895
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: edge position. At Alabama, those guys I think have been

896
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: aware since spring if we're gonna win a title, it's

897
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: not going to be a quarterback carrying us this year.

898
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: You would be amazed at what that awareness does to

899
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: pull a collective extra gear out of a team. Now,

900
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: if you have a Bryce young and he goes down

901
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, a deer in the headlights,

902
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: true freshman's in at quarterback and you haven't conditioned your

903
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 1: mind all year to be ready for that. That's one

904
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: thing that crew there has known since spring. We don't

905
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: really have much of a guy that can carry a

906
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: team at quarterback, but we got a squad full of

907
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: guys who can collectively. And it's why I'm so fascinated

908
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: to watch what Bama looks like. I think they can

909
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: look ugly in Week one, Like I think they can

910
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: look terrible and probably be up on Middle Tennessee State

911
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: like sixteen to six or something like that, and everyone

912
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: just punts on the season. And I think that they

913
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: could probably play the most most physical game you've seen

914
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: out of Bama in like a decade against Texas that

915
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: goes either way. I think there is the potential or

916
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: even the most hardcore of Alabama fans to completely give

917
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: up on this team early in the year only to

918
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,720
Speaker 1: see them become the best team in the country, because

919
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: I think that eventually the style that they want to

920
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: play with will take its toll, and I think they've

921
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: got the depth to play that way. I think they

922
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: got it offensive line. I think they got it running back,

923
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: and I think whichever quarterback starts for them will round

924
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: into giving them above average play. And that's about what

925
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: I'd expect from whoever they start at quarterback. Anything more

926
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: than that is wonderful. Don't count on it. Count on

927
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: an assault style ground game and a quarterback that can

928
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: play in a complimentary fashion to that instead of the

929
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: other way around. And count on that secondary being as

930
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: deep and talented as you've had it in a while.

931
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: If you can get that, you got a shot in

932
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: every game you play. But it's going to be radically different,

933
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: radically different. And I will ask a question in closing

934
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: that I asked to start this show. Can you imagine

935
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: if Alabama would have gotten Devin Leary instead of Kentucky. Wow,

936
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: they're watching us in Cartersville, Georgia, Springfield, Missouri, Ames Iowa.

937
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: I salute you guys. I know it's tough up there

938
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: right now. We're all in this together. Everyone else has

939
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: sold us down the river, but we're still in this together.

940
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: Let's predict a record, right quick. Let's do this. Let's

941
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: go to the Pacific Northwest. Let's talk about Oregon. Oregon's

942
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: coming off a year where they got blown out by

943
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: Georgia and Dan Lanning's first game and then the rest

944
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: of the way. They lost a three point game to Washington,

945
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: and they lost a four point game to Oregon State

946
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: and that was it. They won the Holiday Bowl. They

947
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: ended up going ten to three, and there's a really

948
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: really wide range of prediction and expectation for them this year.

949
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: I told you and I'll tell you again, I think

950
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: it's the most underrated team in all of the top fifteen.

951
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: And the apopole, well, we've got Oregon as a top

952
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: five team. The AP's got him number fifteen, so I

953
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 1: think very highly of them. So naturally, when I go

954
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: with best case out of the potential record scenarios for Oregon,

955
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if best case happens, there's an undefeated

956
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: regular Sea in the cards for them, Twelve and zero

957
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: is the best case for Oregon. There is strong disagreement

958
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: in the building on this, but there's only one microphone here,

959
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: and you know how much I would love to put

960
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: Jesse and Colin on air if I could, but we

961
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: only had budget for one mic I'm sorry. So I'm

962
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: looking at Oregon and I'm asking myself. Anytime I want

963
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: to know best case scenario, I want to know who

964
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: are your toughest games. Obviously there is no Georgia on

965
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: the schedule this year. Now they go to Texas Tech

966
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: in Week two, and that features two of the most

967
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: underrated teams in the country for me, by the way,

968
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: but if I look later in the year, because it's

969
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: a backloaded schedule, if I look later in the year,

970
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: they go at Washington They're a two and a half

971
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: point dog or two, depending on where you look. They

972
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: go to Utah one and a half point dog. They

973
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: play USC at home, They're favored by two over USC.

974
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: They play Oregon State at home, they're favored by seven.

975
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: So if if you're not projected to be any more

976
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: than a two point dog at any point this year,

977
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: of course, wh there's a path for you to go

978
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: undefeat him. And as I talked to you about before

979
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: in the show, I think line of scrimmage talent is

980
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: being overlooked for them right now. O line specifically because

981
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: that's a perceived weakness by folks who saw him lose

982
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't think it's going to be as

983
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: big a weakness. And I also think they're stacking defensive

984
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: front talent that allows them to be a lot more

985
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: multiple than they were last year. And I love bo Nicks,

986
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: so you know, I, for example, look at the Heisman

987
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: poster they put all over New York City, and I say,

988
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: good for them. I think we got an open wall

989
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: in here, if you guys want to explore that in

990
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: experiment with that. But what about the worst case? Okay,

991
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: we we pumped them up a little bit there, let's

992
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: deflate the tires. Now, the worst case for Oregon would

993
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: be seven and five. Admittedly, I got a lot of

994
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: faith in what Landing is going to do in year two,

995
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: but there is also the risk that it just doesn't fire,

996
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: doesn't click, and you're left with with yourself asking the question,

997
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: was year one the aberration. Is this really what we got?

998
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: Why did we extend this guy? Who else was coming

999
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: after him? You know that whole song and dance? And

1000
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: what if they can't replicate or replace that skill and

1001
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: starting experience on the offensive line, that's always a potential

1002
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: injury could pop up. That's everyone's worst case. You could

1003
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: just get bad bo Nicks. Hey what if losing Kenny

1004
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: Dillingham as your offensive coordinator down to Arizona State is

1005
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: the new head coach there? What if that has a

1006
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: much bigger impact maybe than someone like me expects. And hey,

1007
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: while we're at it, maybe the rest of the PAC

1008
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: twelve was just better than everyone thought they were going

1009
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: to be. That all could be baked into having a

1010
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: seven and five record for Oregon. But what's the most

1011
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: likely record? I toyed with eleven and one. Here they're

1012
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: over unders nine and a half. I actually toyed with

1013
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: eleven and one. I went with ten and two as

1014
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: the most likely. There is a strong lean as a

1015
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: result of that wards me picking them to win the

1016
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. I just I love the personnel they have defensively,

1017
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: like it is not a finished product over there. I

1018
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: like the personnel they have I've told you guys since

1019
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: spring and a league that is really stacked at quarterback,

1020
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback is going to be the key

1021
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: to winning the Pac twelve. And I think that Organ's

1022
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: going to be able to do it. And so I

1023
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 1: think ten and two is the most likely path here.

1024
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 1: That's an over if you're keeping track on the Vegas

1025
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 1: board and you know that's flirting with playoff contention, that

1026
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: may very well be good enough to win the Pac twelve.

1027
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: Oregon really high on them this year, really high on them.

1028
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: They start with Portland State before they go to Texas

1029
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: Tech in week two. Let's round out this show, as

1030
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: any well rounded show would end with bold Predictions, And

1031

1039
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: thirty two. The things that you think will happen so

1040
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: much so that you may bet your own money on it.

1041
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: We've got a very, very bold segment tonight. Actually there

1042
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: is no bold prediction tonight below a nine on the

1043
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: one to ten scale. The first one comes to us

1044
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: from Amarillo, Texas. That's where Reht says the Big twelve

1045
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: will lose every out of conference game in the Power

1046
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: Five in week two. It's a loaded Week two. The

1047
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: Big twelve is getting after it. In Week two, Texas

1048
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: is at Bama, Texas Tech plays Oregon at home, Oklahoma

1049
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: States at Arizona State, Kansas plays Illinois, Iowa State plays Iowa.

1050
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: Since he goes to pitt Baylor plays Utah. Big Twelve's

1051
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: probably favored in two, maybe three of these games. This

1052
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 1: is a nine point seventy five on the boldness scale.

1053
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: You're trying to do a six. You're trying to do

1054
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: a seven way money line parlay. Parlay's one of the

1055
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: many tools of the devil. Don't do it, kids or adults.

1056
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: But if you're trying to do it, this one's great.

1057
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: Now in a nine point seventy five. I don't know

1058
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: what more to say. It's just tough to do. Just

1059
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: think about, think about it if you go one for seven.

1060
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: But the one is Texas winning at Alabama, Like that

1061
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: would make up for and whitewash the entire rest of

1062
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: the losing weekend for the Big Twelve. Next up, we

1063
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: got to go down to the Bayou for a second.

1064
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: Aaron from Jacksonville, Florida, Well, the prediction has to do

1065
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,720
Speaker 1: with LSU. At least. Aaron from Jacksonville said, Molik Neighbors

1066
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: leads Power Five and receiving yards. Who this is a

1067
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: good player, now, but you gotta be really good to

1068
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: do this. So last year, Malik Neighbors LSU, he had

1069
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: seventy two catches, just over one thousand yards, three touchdowns,

1070
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: which sounds like a flawed stat line, but he only

1071
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: had three touchdowns. The leader in college football trivia question

1072
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: to end all trivia questions here, who led Power five

1073
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: in total receiving yards last year? And if you said,

1074
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: Charlie Jones of Purdue, you don't win anything but pride,

1075
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: but wow, you earn my respect. There were eight. There

1076
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: were at least eight. We couldn't dig the whole way

1077
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: because we were pressed for time. Today we found at

1078
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: least eight guys who had more receiving yards last year

1079
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: than Eliite Neighbors, so he has to have a dynamite season.

1080
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 1: They play eight of the top forty defenses in college

1081
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: football preseason this year, so he's gonna have to do

1082
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: it against really quality competition. JT. Jaden Daniels, not j

1083
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: Not JT. Who deepened the show, Guys, Jaden Daniels the

1084
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: starting quarterback down there at LSU. He had ten times

1085
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 1: last year where he had under two hundred fifty passing yards.

1086
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: So things just have to get better. And he was

1087
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: already good last year, like Neighbors was already good, but

1088
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: he's got to get better. So that's a nine for me.

1089
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,439
Speaker 1: A Milik Neighbors leading all of Power five in total

1090
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: receiving yards. That's a nine, maybe a nine point two

1091
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: five even Next up, let's go to let's go to

1092
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 1: an upset in week five. This would be a really

1093
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: big upset, actually one of the biggest upsets of the season.

1094
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: Harris is from Enid, Oklahoma, and he said Nebraska is

1095
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: gonna upset Michigan in week five. We have a point

1096
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 1: spread on this game. Nebraska is an eighteen point home

1097
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 1: dog to Michigan. This will be the first road game

1098
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: for Michigan this year. Nebraska will have already played at

1099
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 1: Minnesota and at Colorado. So if you believe in being

1100
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: battle tested, I guess they have that edge. Nebraska's too

1101
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: thin to do this. I think they're too thin to

1102
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: do this, and so I'm putting a nine point five

1103
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: on it. I think this line will creep up more

1104
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: towards three touchdowns when more people actually bet it. So

1105
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,919
Speaker 1: But but if it were to happen, Jeff Simm's coming

1106
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: out party at quarterback Matt Rule gets the gatorade bath

1107
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: there and man, it's off to the races at Nebraska.

1108
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: And lastly, and you want to know about you want

1109
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: to know about a shock. You want shocking, In the

1110
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: words of Vince McMahon, tonight, you'll get shocking. How about

1111
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: Joe's prediction from Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Joe just put

1112
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: it out there. He said, Duke will make the ACC

1113
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: title game. Well, Joe, this is a nine point five

1114
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. But I love you. I love

1115
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: you Joe for predicting this. Unfortunately, I think their best

1116
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: shot was last year because last year we still had

1117
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: a divisional format. Last year, they did not play six

1118
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 1: of the top seven preseason teams in the ACC. And hmm.

1119
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: The thing about it is Duke's good. This is a

1120
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: good team. They could have the upset of Week one

1121
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: if they were to knockoff Clumson. And the only reason

1122
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: I haven't been talking about that game more is cause

1123
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: I hit on it like five shows in a row

1124
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: back in July, and you guys told me to knock

1125
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: it off, Like, we get it. They could win. So

1126
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: but Duke could win that game. So you're over under

1127
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: win total six and a half. They've got the eighth

1128
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: best odds in the ACC, so they would need to

1129
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: massively overachieve. This is a nine point five. And the

1130
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: reason that's not higher is cause I know about Mike Elcho,

1131
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: I know about Riley Leonard. I know those guys could

1132
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: pull something crazy off. But that would be really crazy.

1133
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: Can you imagine and being a Duke fan, being a

1134
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: Duke alum and buying ACC tournament tickets and then also

1135
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: just using some of that left over to buy ACC

1136
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: championship tickets in football? Yeah, play it in your backyard

1137
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,760
