1
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not a big news breaker. I let

2
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: Pete handle that. I let Dellinger handle that. But sometimes

3
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: Pete State Investigates has to jump in the fray. You

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: may remember us from such investigative journalism as confirming that

5
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Connor Stallions was on the Central Michigan sideline with recordable glasses.

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Might I have some say we broke the Taylor Swift

7
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey engagement today. I think they may have had

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: that first, but I do need to tell you I'm

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: going to wait ti the end of the show to

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: do it because I may get a little worked up.

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: This is not a joke, this is not a drill

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: that Pete State Investigates is going to break some news

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: on the show tonight. And the reason I can afford

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: to wait, even in this cutthroat news of cutthroat world

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: of newsbreaking, is I know no one else has this scoop,

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: and it's not good scoop, people, but it is scooped

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: that we can fix before it goes over the cliff. Meanwhile,

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: we're jampacked. Hiya atap a sun drenched downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: On this Tuesday night, August twenty sixth, the Ear of

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: Our Lord twenty twenty five. Not a sad show, a

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: very happy show. College football kickoff Week one is here.

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: We've got game breakdowns tonight, So LSU, Clemson, Yes, Notre

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: Dame Miami, Yes, Bama, FSU Yes, Raminudle Express got three

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: best bets dropping on the show tonight. I see and

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: I mean this, nothing standing between us and A three

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: and oh start. I do see something standing between Dave

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Portnoy and accessing Ohio Stadium Saturday. And that's been a

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: big topic du jour today. I actually have some thoughts

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: on it. I knew about this. I knew about it

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I didn't say anything on the show

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: because frankly, I didn't think it warranted being talked about

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: on the show. But now that Front Office Sports is

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: reporting it and Yahoo Sports is reporting it, yeah, I'll

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: tell you what I think about it. Jap Pole dropping

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: on the show tonight. I told you this morning if

36
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: you were following me on the social site, it's going

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: to be a jam packed show. Friends and family. A

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: little worried, like, is the physical and mental health gonna sustain?

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: Not only are we sustaining, we're thriving, We're good. Are

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: you good? We're good. They're watching us in Elberton, Georgia,

41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: Osan Air Force Base, which I am reliably informed is

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: in South Korea. Thank you guys for watching. Harrisburg, PA,

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,160

Speaker 1: And Joplin, Missouri. Happy to have everybody on board. Listen.

45

Speaker 1: do that. And make sure you're following on the socials

Speaker 1: at Josh Paate CFB. You've noticed all of our feeds

49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: are blowing up. That's before games have started. We're gonna

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: be on the sideline at Ohio State Saturday, at least

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: someone is right unless we trash Ryan Day between now

52
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: and then, and we are not wont to do stuff

53
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: like that, so we'll be there. A lot of behind

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: the scenes stuff that you get, especially in the Instagram

55
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: story on Saturday afternoons Friday night lines in the Instagram

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: story Instagram Live on a Friday night, like what are

57
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: you doing? It's free Josh pat CFBO. There, okay, let's

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: dive in. Got a lot to get to you here.

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: You're at the thickness so we kind of made a

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: tradition of measuring the thickness of the show, the jam

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: pactedness of the show, by how loud the papers are

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: when they hit this new swivel desk in front of me.

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: By the way, I appreciate you guys for setting that up.

64
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: So which game should we open with tonight? And if

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: you're wondering, by the way, if you're listening to the

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: show and you somehow missed Sunday, apparently none of the

67
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: rest of you did, because we got huge viewership on

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: that thing. Texas Ohio State was in the Sunday Show.

69
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: The video is on the YouTube channel right now. So

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: we did that game. We did Auburn Baylor on the

71
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Sunday Show. But this is the Tuesday show. Let's dive

72
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: in LSU at Clemson Saturday, seven thirty Eastern kickoff on

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: a b C. This is fowl Herb Street. I do

74
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: believe on this game. Week one's been a struggle. I'm

75
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: not gonna really dwell on this too much, cause everyone

76
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: who follows college football religiously already knows all this stuff.

77
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: But Brian Kelly and LSU, well, mainly LSU lately, Brian

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: Kelly haven't won a season opener since twenty nineteen. Yes,

79
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: we know that. Yes, I think most of us remember

80
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: that Clemson was zero to three versus the SEC last year.

81
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: Even though they won the ACC they went to the playoff.

82
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: So I start with this and the interest of making

83
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: bowl season great again. Could we call this the Identity Bowl?

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: Could we call this that? Because there are two differing

85
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: philosophies on college football, maybe on life, but on college football.

86
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: Because I look at Brian Kelly and I look at LSU,

87
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: and they knew they had deficiencies and they went and

88
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: attacked the portal. Dabo Sweeney looked and he said, we

89
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: don't really have many deficiencies because we haven't leaned on

90
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the portal. We've gone and recruited, remember that, and then

91
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: we've developed and we have immersed our guys in a

92
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: rock solid culture that people mock Clemson for it. But

93
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: it is different up there. I'm not telling you don't

94
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: mock them. I'm just saying they're not lying when they

95
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: say there's a little different way they do things. I

96
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: know that roughs some people the wrong way. In the

97
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: personnel world, I know the trash talking behind the scenes,

98
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: behind their back shame on you. It is a little

99
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: different at Clemson. So anyway, it doesn't matter if you

100
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: don't win. So this is where the rubber meets the

101
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: road on the test of philosophies. Everyone at LSU believes.

102
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll be the first ones to tell you,

103
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: look at how much we spent in the portal. We

104
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: answered all of our questions. Okay, now you get to play.

105
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: Everyone at Clemson, I'll tell you we all need the portal.

106
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: We got us, We're all we need. Okay, Well, now

107
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: you get to play and you get home field at

108
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: your back. I think the vibe around both of these

109
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: coaches with those philosophies, to me is kind of trust.

110
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: But verify. Everyone's fully willing to buy into Brian Kelly

111
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: as long as his approach verifies everyone's how do you

112
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: not buy into Dablos twenty Everyone's still willing to ride

113
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: for Dabos Sweny and his way of doing things as

114
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: long as it verifies. But I mean, if they lose

115
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: twenty one to nine Saturday, then that's probably a little

116
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: different tune being sung. So what are the keys to

117
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: this game? Well, easily, to me, the most important is

118
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: not the quarterback matchup. The most important is it is

119
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: a classic time to find out sort of scenario you've

120
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: heard of, a time to kill. This is a time

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: to find out, and it's time to find out about

122
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: LSU's offensive line. I have bitten my tongue on this.

123
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it, But like I've just

124
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: said five times already, it doesn't matter how you feel,

125
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: cause the games are going to happen. So once we

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: get to Saturday night, twenty minutes to kick off, ten

127
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: minutes to kick off, LSU takes the field. Here we

128
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: go first and ten. That's when we find out there's

129
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: been a little mixing and matching. They've got some new pieces,

130
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: they've got some guys who come back. You do not

131
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: get a three week build up to this game. You

132
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: don't get ole missus schedule. All due respect, you got

133
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: to be hot right out of the gate. Clemson should

134
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: have on a paper you hear it there, I'm looking

135
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: at it. One of the best defensive fronts in the country.

136
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: So if i'm LSU, or if I'm trying to bet

137
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: money on LSU, or if I'm just rooting for him,

138
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: and I never bet a dime in my life and

139
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: never will I need them to at least force a

140
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: stalemate there, because what I can't have is a mismatch.

141
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: I can't have myself four minutes to halftime sitting here

142
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: saying we can't get anything going on the ground. Man,

143
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: it's last year all over again. Because the entire hopes

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: and dreams of anyone back in LSU in this game

145
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: and beyond is there will be more offensive balance, and

146
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: they won't be in the one hundreds and critical rushing statistics,

147
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: and Garrett Nusmeyer won't be asked to win the game

148
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: with his arm, because that's how that touchdown to turnover

149
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: ratio creeps up a little higher than you're comfortable with it.

150
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: Caden Durham's got to be a big time player here.

151
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: That offensive line's got to allow him to be a

152
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: big time player. And then the follow up to that,

153
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: the reason their offensive line at LSU so important is

154
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: because it answers the next question that I have written

155
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: down on this piece of paper, and that is what

156
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: does LSU require Garrett Nussmeyer to do? Great question for

157
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: the entire season, the question, the central question for this game,

158
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: what does LSU require Garrett Nussmeyer to do? Do they

159
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: require him to just stay on schedule because the offensive

160
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: line does play at the level they should. Because it's LSU.

161
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: Does the run game come through for him? Is it

162
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: second five? Is it third and two? Is he just

163
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: forced to make good decisions, manage the offense and then

164
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: pick his spots, play action, make a few plays here

165
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: and there because he is that good? Is it that?

166
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: Or is it third and seven? All night? You just

167
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: answered to me how this game will go if you

168
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: give me the answer one way or the other. I

169
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,119
Speaker 1: think a fast start for those reasons is actually borderline

170
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: imperative for LSU. I'm not really interested in watching them

171
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: play catch up here. That does not interest me whatsoever,

172
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: because I do think if that's happening, it's probably because

173
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: we're getting a poor answer to these questions, and it

174
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: just doesn't lend itself to a happy outcome. Clemson's offense

175
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: needs to scale here, though. For all the doubt you

176
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: could have, for all the questions you could have about

177
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: LSU's offense you might have about Clemsons as well, total

178
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: in this game's fifty seven and a half. Yet there

179
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: are scenarios slash scenarios where I see both of them

180
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: struggling to move the ball a little bit. Clemson's offense

181
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: last year was explosive in general, but you got to

182
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: dive a little deeper into the book. You gotta lick

183
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: the index finger and flip a few pages to really

184
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: understand the story there. Because they had nine games last year.

185
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: That's worth a paper pop. That's a solid stat. Nine

186
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: games for Clemsons offense last year of five plus explosive plays,

187
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: top twenty in points per game. They moved the ball

188
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: very well, didn't they pull out the magnifying glass. They

189
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: played three SEC opponents last year. They were a combined

190
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: fourteen of forty on third down. They were two of

191
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: sixteen on third and long. There are a couple of

192
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: commodities they have at LSU that I trust with my life.

193
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: Blake Baker's one of them. That's the defensive coordinator there

194
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: for the unwashed, and I trust that they're right when

195
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: they say, hey, we went and got a lot of

196
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: really good pieces in the secondary. You haven't heard me

197
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: doubt that. I trust that, and I trust that they

198
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: can play a good ballgame here. LSU's transfers in the

199
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: secondary huge X factor. Huge X factor because if that's

200
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: stat profile for Clemson carries over again. If it looks

201
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: a lot more like the South Carolina game last year

202
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: or the Georgia game God Forbid last year, then again

203
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: that goes back to well, if you're going to hold

204
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: him to twenty one twenty three, I don't need Garrett

205
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: Nusmeyer to be superman. I don't have to run it

206
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: for two hundred and ten three touchdowns. So my feel

207
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: here as we get closer to a pick, my feel

208
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: is LSU's going to be pretty strong in this game.

209
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: My feel is that they will look prepared. I really

210
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: hope nus Meyer is put in a good spot. I

211
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: hope that he's good to go. He's one hundred percent.

212
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: He's put in a good spot, and he's given a

213
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: chance to play his game. Like I just said, bunch

214
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: of third alongs, that is no QB's game. I don't

215
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: care how good you are. That's not the sweet spot.

216
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: The sweet spot is a complimentary ground game, defense doing

217
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: its job, and Okay, then if you lose the game,

218
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: then I'm happy saying that's on Garrett Nasmayer. I just

219
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: hope he's given that opportunity. I think there will be

220
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: a swing moment late in this game kind of fell

221
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: It kind of feels like the USC game last year,

222
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: where there's a lot of optimism, Like you show a

223
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: lot through the first three quarters that lead you to

224
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: believe we're about to put this one away. And I

225
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: like what we've seen. Still got some stuff to work on,

226
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: but this is a good starting point, and then it

227
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: just swings in the fourth quarter. Let's take a look

228
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: at what the odds say FanDuel right now. Clemson minus

229
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: three and a half. The model could not agree anymore

230
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: with our friends at FanDuel. The model are Internal model

231
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: for those unfamiliar, also has Clemson minus three and a half.

232
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: You know the names I didn't mention yet that I

233
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: think will be the turning point in this game more

234
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: westco Williams. If you're banking on Clemson's offense being able

235
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: to get it done on third down more this year,

236
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: it's because I trust those guys to win contested balls,

237
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: and I think that'll happen here. And that is why

238
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to ride Clemson to win. I'm going to

239
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: ride Clemson to cover competitive game decided in the fourth quarter.

240
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: If I'm wrong, and if LSU goes up there and wins,

241
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: it becomes pretty apparent pretty quickly that JP Pole was

242
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: too low on them. I was too low on him,

243
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: and at that point it's off to the races. So

244
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: this is what God created big Week one matchups for.

245
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: We don't have to wait a month. Then we get

246
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: to find out immediately right now, that's number five versus

247
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: number seven in the odds to win the National Championship

248
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: at fandel If you want to drive over there, which

249
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: we could. We could. I'll be in Columbus, Ohio Saturday,

250
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: but we could drive over to Clemson. We could stop

251
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: at Quick Trip along the way. You know, they are

252
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: our partner. We are proud to partner with them. I

253
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: was just on the horn with Quick Trip Joe today.

254
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: QT Joe Bradley. I'm gonna ask you to do something,

255
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: but then I want you to go right back to

256
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: we call this camera one or three. Go to camera

257
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: two right quick. I have an idea that I'm work

258
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: shopping and it has something to do with the set

259
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: behind me. All right, that's as specific as I can

260
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: get right now, because we may not even be able

261
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: to do it. Okay, Bradley, back, go back to the camera.

262
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: They're actually paying us for so again. I know it's

263
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: week one, so I know a lot of people are

264
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: stopping by for the first time. And look, if you're

265
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: in the live chat right now, and a lot of

266
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: you are, You're around people who will become your friends.

267
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: We're all family here at Payte State. Many of you

268
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: were around last year when we committed a quick trip.

269
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: We did this full on recruitment, multiple gas stations vuying

270
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: for our services. Once stood out above and beyond. It

271
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: felt like home. The official visit was great. It felt

272
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: like home at quick Trip. We committed a quick trip.

273
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: It's been a great partnership ever since. They fuel the fall.

274
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: Don't lie to her, or they will because it starts

275
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: this Saturday on the road noon kickoff. I wouldn't have

276
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: it any other way, of course, especially when the high

277
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: is going to be seventy three in Columbus. They fuel

278
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: the fault. Don't lie to her. I'm going to drive

279
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: up there. Hey, look, some people fly, not me, not

280
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: your boy. Here, mister blue collar, roll up the sleeves,

281
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: get in the truck, drive up to Columbus and back.

282
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I It's going to be beautiful and a quick

283
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: trip is fueling us. The whole way there and back,

284
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: and we appreciate them. Let us continue. The other night

285
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: we did on the show, you may have seen or

286
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: heard a full range of SEC win loss record predictions. Now,

287
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: if you know me, you know I don't like doing

288
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: that stuff because I don't believe there's much skill in it. However,

289
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: we got pressed in the spring. I asked on the show,

290
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: what is it we don't do normally that you want

291
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: us to do? And everyone said, you need to get

292
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: more specific about your predictions. And I was like, but

293
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: that means that I could be proven wrong more and

294
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: they said exactly, and I said exactly. No, I don't

295
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: like that. I like credit. I'm not a big fan

296
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: of blame. Well, nevertheless, we don't stack the show for me.

297
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: We stacked the show for you. So the other night

298
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: we did by my estimation, I think right now it

299
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: is seven to fourteen PM, August twenty sixth, I think

300
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: there are sixteen teams in the SEC. So we did

301
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: all those the other night. There are eighteen teams in

302
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: the Big ten. So we're going to do those tonight. Bradley,

303
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: here's your endpoint. Some of the haters said we weren't

304
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: going to do big ten win loss record predictions. The

305
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: haters lose again, they stay losing. What do we think here?

306
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: This is not the model, to be very clear, you know,

307
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: normally I shirk responsibility onto the model for our predictions

308
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: on the show. No, this is one of those times

309
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: where I'm telling you what I feel here in the gut,

310
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: and here this is the heart speaking, and my heart

311
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: has led me down some terrible dead end roads in

312
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: the past, so why not follow it once more? First up,

313
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: the Michigan Wolverines. What do we think the win loss

314
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: record here is? Well, let's the Bryce Underwood era. We

315
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: know that he's going to start from bell one. They

316
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: got some tough road games in the first seven weeks

317
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: of their CEA at OU, that's Oklahoma at Nebraska at

318
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: USC and I cannot get a grip on them. I've

319
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: told you many, many times it feels like they're a

320
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: year away from really competing in the Bryce Underwood era

321
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: for a national title. But you don't have to compete

322
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: for a national title to have a really good year.

323
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: I think the wide receiver group, to me, is what

324
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: holds them back. They're not dynamic enough there. They don't

325
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: touch some of these other high level programs. When it

326
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: comes to wide receiver. If I'm wrong about that, they

327
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: could compete for it this year. I don't think I'm

328
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: wrong about that. What I envision is Bryce Underwood shows

329
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: flashes of what he could be, and what he could

330
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: be is the best in the country in time, and

331
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: then they sell that in the portal and recruiting, and

332
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: this time next year we're talking about a loaded wide

333
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: receiver room. I could see that, But in the meantime,

334
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: they've already lost a swing offensive tackle. They've got elite

335
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: talent to replace on the defensive front. On the other side,

336
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: I just think they're a year away. I got Michigan

337
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: going eight and four, so I do have them going

338
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: under that win total apologies, of course, will be due

339
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: in December if we're wrong about that. Next up, the

340
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: Oregon Ducks went up there a couple of weeks ago.

341
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: Oregon could very well have their best overall talent roster

342
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: under Dan Lanning. I think that. I believe that staff

343
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: feels that, but I think that staff looks at it conditionally,

344
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter if you've got your most talented roster,

345
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: if you have deficiencies that are glaring in one or

346
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: two areas do they have that. I don't think so.

347
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: I think Dante Moore will be a very very good quarterback.

348
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: Could be the surprise of the Big Ten, because I

349
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: think most of the country has just kind of forgotten

350
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: about him. It's been kind of weird Decorean. Moore could

351
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: be a star wide receiver. He could emerge this year.

352
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: They need that because I think they need that wide

353
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: receiver room to shake out and guys to figure out

354
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: their roles. And I don't really think that happens until

355
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one establishes himself, and I think it

356
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: could be to Koran Moore. Offensive lines should be a

357
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: strength here, and that was the real big question coming

358
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: out of last year. And they go get pregnant and

359
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: they go get world, and they have to hit on

360
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: both of those guys, and they did hit on both

361
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: of those guys. I was up there a couple of

362
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: weeks ago. I watched in practice though. That's what an

363
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: Oregon offensive lineman is supposed to look like. I said

364
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: it twice because I was talking about both of them.

365
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: Defense has a shot to be really good here. The staff,

366
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: I think, is another year older and wiser, and it's

367
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: just a program that's maturing, it continues to add layer

368
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: after layer of competitive depth. I got Oregon going eleven

369
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: and one this year. I got them going to the

370
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: Big Ten Championship game, and obviously they're going to be

371
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: squarely in the playoffs if they go eleven and one.

372
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: Next up, another place we went recently, what do we

373
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: think about Penn State. Penn State's not a tough team

374
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: to figure out. Penn State probably fewest questions out of

375
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: any of these teams. For me, I would call them

376
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: the Joe Moore Award favorite. We were tossing this around

377
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: the office earlier today. The Joe Moore Award goes to

378
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the best offensive line in the country, and preseason that's

379
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: my favorite to win the Joe Moore Award. It's either

380
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: their ten and two or eleven and one. You could

381
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: predict them to go twelve and zero, but that would

382
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: be predicting a win at Ohio State. I'm not that bold.

383
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: But outside of that, like flat out, they should win

384
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: the Oregon game in Week five. They're coming off a bye.

385
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: They've got it in a whiteout at night in Happy Valley.

386
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: That's Dan Lanning taking his team on the road with

387
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: a new starter at quarterback. Penn State should win that game,

388
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: and so I've I've just got to see the wide

389
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: receiver unit. Man If I see Trevor Pinyon, Devonte Ross,

390
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: and Kyron Hudson, along with a couple of those new guys,

391
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: If I see them able to battle for fifty to

392
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: fifty balls, if I'm watching them, change the dynamic of

393
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: third and five plus for Penn State, because right now

394
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: third and six is let's see what we can get

395
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: here and make it fourth and manageable. That should not

396
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: be the vibe around any kind of elite program, a

397
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: program that's contending for a championship. I've got him going

398
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: eleven and one. That game at Iowa, which people aren't

399
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: talking about. They pretend it's a two game season for

400
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: Penn State. That game at Iowa is not easy at all.

401
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: But this is a good team, and I got Penn

402
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: State going eleven and one. I actually do think they're

403
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: a contender for the national championship. Is Nebraska not a

404
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: contender for the national championship? Just is Nebraska back? Yeah?

405
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: They are back? Before I tell you what the record's

406
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: going to be, A great American college football brand is

407
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: set to return to the stage this year. You see

408
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: that empty chair over there, you wonder who it's for.

409
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: It turns out it's for Matt Rule and Nebraska. The

410
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: first thing to get excited about is we get Dylan

411
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Ryola back, but we get impaired with Dana Holgerson, new

412
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator there full year. Now, just the sum of

413
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: incremental improvement across the board has me excited. The Rule

414
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: Rule is real, Matt Rule year three. That's a real thing.

415
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: It's happened multiple times at lesser programs. So if he

416
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: did it at Baylor, he did it at Temple, He's

417
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna do it here. I don't expect a massive defensive

418
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: drop off. I am really high on their wide receiver unit.

419
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: I think it's very underrated. And what is it rated,

420
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but not as high as it should be.

421
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: Every offensive lineman that they're going to start, I believe

422
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: has ten plus starts under his belt. It's a manageable schedule.

423
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: I just look so forward to the Week four game

424
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: against Michigan because I think they'll be undefeated by Week four.

425
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: When Michigan rolls into town, might we roll into town

426
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: along with everyone. I've got Nebraska flying over their preseason

427
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: win total of seven and a half, which is egregious,

428
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: borderline criminal, even by the standards of our friends at FanDuel.

429
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: I got Nebraska going ten and two and making the

430
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: College Football Playoff next up. It's like a Frank Underwood

431
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: move there. I just don't have the presidential ring on

432
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State. This one's a tough one for me. Ohio

433
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: State has questions, but Ohio State has first world questions.

434
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: They don't have normal questions up there. When they're replacing

435
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: a ton of production. It's not like all due respect,

436
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: like backyard you when your local team is replacing a

437
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: ton of production. But the defensive line attrition is real here.

438
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: Replacing both coordinators is real here. Okay, that's going to

439
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: be a problem no matter what. You lose Chip Kelly,

440
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: you lose Jim Knowles, that's going to be a problem

441
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: no matter what. I think. Their offense is going to

442
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: flash greatness. When you have the caliber players on the

443
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: field they are this year, you can't help but flash

444
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: greatness occasionally. Jeremiah Smith's out there, Brandon Ennis, like guys

445
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: like that out there. Julian Sayin's a very talented quarterback.

446
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: You just hadn't seen him play yet. They will flash greatness,

447
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: will they sustain it? Will it be consistent across the board,

448
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: because frankly it wasn't last year. Like they weren't consistently

449
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: great last year. They lost two games in the regular

450
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: season last year, which I'm not quite sure has sat

451
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: with people. When you think about Ohio State last year,

452
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: what do you think about national championship? Do you think

453
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: two loss regular season in the process. So I'm looking

454
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: at them right now, I'm predicting that they'll go ten

455
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: and two, and I think I'll get a little pushback

456
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: on that. And my push back to the pushback is,

457
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: what are you disagreeing with? This is a less talented

458
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: or certainly less proven team, not as high caliber or

459
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff, and that crew lost two games last year.

460
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: I'm predicting them to match last year's win loss record.

461
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: I think that's more than fair. Next up, USC, do

462
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: you have any idea, if anyone out there have any idea, USC.

463
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: The collective attitude around that program seems to just be

464
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: You'll see what they led like five games last year

465
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter in Big Ten play they ended

466
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: up losing, which is just the most mind boggling stat

467
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: of college football this year, and yet they look around

468
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: and they say, you'll see, we were out there in

469
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: the spring. Lincoln Riley essentially said that on the show

470
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: You'll See I'm ready to see. I think the game

471
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: at Illinois is the hinge game of the season. That

472
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: is in week. That game is September twenty seventh in Champagne.

473
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: No one's talking about it nationally. The folks in LA

474
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: know about it. The folks that Illinois certainly know about it.

475
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: If they come out of that one and they're undefeated,

476
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: then it sets up because they got Michigan, Notre Dame,

477
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: Nebraska as their next three games, then they're thrust into

478
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: the national spotlight. Jade Maiava has a full year as

479
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: the starter now like it's his job. He knows it.

480
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: It's not Miller Mass and then he's the backup. I'm

481
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: excited to see that because Lincoln Riley is more than

482
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: proven himself with his ability to develop the quarterback position.

483
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: The defense is what excites me the most. It's not

484
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: a star studded, like star laden group, but the staff

485
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: is undeniable. The progress they made last year is undeniable.

486
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: I think that theme will continue this year. Offensive lines

487
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: probably my biggest question and their ability to win games.

488
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: And you think that's the most common sense thing you

489
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: could say. No, I mean in the one possession games,

490
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: the ones that are decided in the fourth quarter, which

491
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: most of theirs were last year, they were terrible. And

492
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: there is a skill, There is an innate ability for

493
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: some teams that know how to win to show it,

494
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: and then there's the lack of that from organizations that

495
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: just continue to lose and come up short in those spots.

496
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: Is USC really just like a loser program? I don't

497
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: think they are. Lincoln Riley's won. I don't think he

498
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: forgot how to win. Maybe it's taken a little longer

499
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: than they thought out there. I'm going to put a

500
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: nine and three projection on USC. Nine and three not

501
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: a playoff team. I got him just on the outside

502
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: of that bubble. But that is that's exciting because that

503
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: holds that recruiting class together and that probably springboards them

504
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: into some irresponsible level hype going into next year. The

505
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: rest of the Big ten I've got shaken out like this,

506
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: and you gotta bear with me because I just went

507
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: through six teams and it's only then that you realize, wow,

508
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: another two two thirds of the conference. So I looked

509
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: in Jesse and I said, we can't have a telethon tonight,

510
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: so let's do six teams individually, and then I'll just

511
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: tell you I got Illinois going eight and four. I

512
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: got Indiana going eight and four. I got Washington going

513
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: eight and four. So I got three eight win teams there,

514
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: good solid teams. Just someone's got a tote some l's.

515
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: I think those are all good records. I think Illinois

516
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: folks will probably want at least nine and three. I

517
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: think there's probably one more loss there. I don't think

518
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: it's just as easy as returning a bunch of starters

519
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: and you carry over all the momentum. I think it'll

520
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: be a little more bumpy of road. A good team,

521
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: but a little more bumpy of a road. Same with

522
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: Indiana this year. Minnesota and Iowa I both have a

523
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: seven and five. Iowa concerns me because I think their

524
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: potential is higher than that. So you know, out of

525
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: all these teams, if someone goes like two games above

526
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: what I'm projecting, I think it's probably Iowa going nine

527
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: and three instead of seven and five. Rutgers and Michigan State.

528
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: I both have it six and six and then we

529
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: get be low five hundred. I got Wisconsin at five

530
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: and seven, and that sucks. I hope I'm wrong about that,

531
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: but that's the toughest schedule in this league. Still don't know.

532
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm still asking the fundamental question, what is Wisconsin's identity?

533
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: UCLA four and eight, Maryland four and eight, Northwestern three

534
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: and nine, Perdue three and nine. So obviously someone in

535
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: that bottom group is going to shock the world. Happens

536
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: every year. Indiana did it last year. Who would it be?

537
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: My guess is Michigan State. If someone truly shocks the

538
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: world out of the ones I have projected like seven

539
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: and five or worse, I would say probably Michigan State.

540
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: But there's just a lot of bottom half of the

541
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: big ten. Hopefully that changes. Let's move on. Let me

542
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: pull something up here right quick. Okay, we're good. I

543
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: welcome constructive feedback on that. Remember the ruveryone. The rule,

544
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: just like we stated the other night, and I'll state

545
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: it again, is I'm happy to listen to you call

546
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: me an idiot. That's fun. I just need you to

547
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: make sure if you're calling me an idiot, for things

548
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: such as predictions. Give me your prediction. Don't just shout nonsense.

549
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: Give me your prediction. Because what we want to do

550
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: around here, this is an educational institution. After all. At

551
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: Peate State, we want to come back in December and

552
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: we want to revisit. It may be that you were right.

553
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: It may be that you got Ohio State going twelve

554
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: and zero and I was solid two games off and

555
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: you were right. But there's also the possibility that I

556
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: stumbled into some correct predictions and you're just a little

557
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: too high on a team. We just want to responsibly revisit.

558
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: That's what December is for. After all, Let's continue. You

559
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: know what Sunday Night's for. Well in week one for

560
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: standalone college football games, Notre Dame at Miami Sunday night,

561
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: seven thirty Eastern, kickoff on ABC. The table is set.

562
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: This is wonderful. I think people are talking about Miami

563
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: and I think they're half right, because they did miss

564
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: a chance last year. They had they had a great quarterback.

565
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: In ward, they had an opportunity with the overall skill

566
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: level that they had accumulated, and yet they dropped the ball,

567
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: and namely, they couldn't play defense. To save their lives.

568
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: So they did miss an opportunity last year. There's no

569
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: excuse for that team missing the playoff last year. So

570
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: there is that there are they're right when they say that.

571
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: I think they're incorrect when they say they missed their window.

572
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: Miami didn't miss their window. Miami is not a window team.

573
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: Miami has the kind of personnel that will allow them

574
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: to compete every year. So last year, make no bones

575
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: about it, they missed a shot. They could also give

576
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: themselves another shot this year and the next year and

577
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: the next year. That's like saying it about lscu oh

578
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: lsu had Jaden Daniels. They missed their shot. No, they

579
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: missed a shot. They'll be right back to having another

580
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: shot the year, the year, the year, the year. So

581
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: that's Miami. Then the follow up as you dive into

582
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: the game is you got a bunch of talk about

583
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: quarterback here. Carson Beck has transferred to Miami. He's the

584
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: starting quarterback there. CJ. Carr has been named the starting

585
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: quarterback at Notre Dame. The difference in those quarterback questions

586
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: is astounding. Like Carson Beck, I mean, well, CJ. Carr,

587
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: the question is what's he going to because we haven't

588
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: seen him start. Carson Beck this time last year, the

589
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: talk was enjoy him at Georgia one more year, enjoy

590
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: it hit headed off to the NFL after this year,

591
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: and instead he headed off to Coral Gables, Florida. Again.

592
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: There are no stupid predictions in college football because if

593
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: anyone would have predicted that last year, Carson Beck is

594
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: going to come back, but he's not going to be

595
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: playing for Georgia. Oh and Georgia people are going to

596
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: convince you that it's a good thing that he moved

597
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: on no one step, So no prediction is stupid this

598
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: time of year. Let's dive into the game. I think

599
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: that the focus for Notre Dame in this game does

600
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: not immediately go to CJ. Car as much as he's

601
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna be talked about, and yeah, I have a morbid

602
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: fascination with seeing how he fares in this game. The

603
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: Notre Dame run game against Miami's run defense is the

604
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: most important single facet of this game. I have implicit

605
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: trust in Notre Dame's offensive line. I saw everything I

606
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: needed to see last year. No matter how many guys

607
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: went down, they just trotted another one out there. And

608
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: it was like a machine. They just all played to

609
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: the same standard. Not only that, you want to talk

610
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: about predictions not meaning much. Man, most of us thought

611
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's offensive line might be a net weakness in

612
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: the preseason. They were gonna have to put freshmen at

613
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: tackle and everything, or start to start young guys along

614
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line. They're gonna go into Kyle Field in

615
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: Week one that passed rush was gonna get after him.

616
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: They won. They got better as the season went on,

617
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: little blip on the radar screen against Northern Illinois, go

618
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: all the way to the national title game. Guys getting

619
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: hurt left and right didn't matter. So I believe in them,

620
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: and I believe in mister Love and mister Price in

621
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: the backfield. I think they can run the ball on

622
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: almost anyone. Can they run the ball on anyone? Though?

623
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: So last year, little mini paper popper of a stat here,

624
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: they played, by our estimation, three top ten teams. We

625
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: didn't have Indiana top ten, which is convenient because that

626
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: would have bolstered the stat category. I'm about to read

627
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: point taken. But they played Georgia, Penn State, and Ohio

628
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: State last year and average three point one yards per carry. Now,

629
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: what they did do is they were top five in

630
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: rushes of thirty plus yards last year, so they had

631
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: the explosive run and it really doesn't matter if they're

632
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: stoning you Sunday night. If you break off a couple

633
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: of fifty plus yard runs, you probably win the ball game.

634
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: And that's tough to forecast. So if that profile carries

635
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame, that's interesting. But what if what if

636
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: they can't run the ball all that effectively and they

637
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: do have to throw the ball, Well, what is Miami's secondary?

638
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Would be my question there? If Notre Dame gets limited

639
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: running the ball here, it's a completely overhauled secondary for Miami.

640
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: Normally that would concern you. That's actually a blessing in

641
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: this case because they essentially didn't have one last year.

642
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: There were guys in uniform out there, but it was

643
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: largely aesthetic. Mimi didn't really have a secondary. So obviously,

644
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: if you like at CJ. Carr, Dud's never played meaningful

645
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: downs in his life, and you know that Notre Dame's

646
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: bread and Butter's running the ball. I mean, we're gonna

647
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: make him throw the ball to beat this. We're gonna

648
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: go heavy box. We're gonna make him prove himself. Miami

649
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: top twenty and sacks per game last year, and Baine

650
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: is back and Mesador's back. Three of their top five

651
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: sack getters are back. So you got the whole stay

652
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 1: on schedule thing that you got to worry about. But

653
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: Notre Dame has a low key, excellent wide receiver group.

654
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame fans would say it's not low key. I

655
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: think it's low key because nationally people don't they don't

656
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: characterize Notre Dame like that yet. Now, if you show

657
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: out Saturday or Sunday night, they'll learn about it. But

658
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: do you unlock the ability to take advantage of it?

659
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: Like CJ. Carr has the tools as well. CJ. Carr

660
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: is very very talented player. It's all got to connect,

661
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: like it's all got to come together on the field.

662
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: My point there is to remind you some of the

663
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: feedback we've gotten from Miami's camp is not only did

664
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: we overhaul the secondary, they went and got a ton

665
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: of portal guys, went and got a new defensive coordinator.

666
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: They actually believe the secondary could be a strength of

667
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: this team. And if they're even close to write about that,

668
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: then that's a whole new world for Miami, and that's

669
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: a whole new way to look at this game. It's

670
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: a big test for Shannon Dawson, offensive coordinator at Miami.

671
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: It's a really big test for Carson Beck. I mean,

672
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: he's the real story that people are going to pay

673
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: attention to. But they are replacing their top half dozen

674
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: pass catchers. So the real, real, real story, the one

675
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: that'll go the furthest in determining Miami's fate here is

676
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: Mark Fletcher and Jordan Lyle and that Miami offensive line

677
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: specifically against the interior of Notre Dame's defensive front, because

678
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: if they do business Sunday night, that's where it'll be,

679
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: and you'll see him getting pushed inside, and over the

680
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: span of four quarters you'll start to say, Wow, Notre

681
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: Dame is not really They don't really have much of

682
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: an answer here, and that is an area of potential

683
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: vulnerability if you're looking for matchup edges. That is the

684
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: potential matchup edge here from Miami. Mark Fletcher. By the way,

685
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: if that's the case, that's the name at the end

686
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: of the night when they put up the fancy graphics

687
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 1: they have that could be the one that really really

688
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: showed out from Miami. Let's take a look at the

689
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: FanDuel odds Notre Dame minus two and a half. The

690
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: model is a little bit different in the way it

691
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: sees this game. It's got it as a straight up

692
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: pick them. I think Miami is going to be able

693
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: to run the ball, and I think it's going to

694
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: be a very very mixed result type game for CJ.

695
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: Carr and that Notre Dame passing offense. I actually I'm

696
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 1: going to buy in. I'm gonna buy into the intel

697
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: that we've gotten out of Miami about that secondary plenty,

698
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: good enough, plenty overhauled enough that I think they give

699
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: themselves a shot to win here, and I think they

700
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: are able to take over enough. They're not going to

701
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: dominate Notre Dame. I'm saying they're going to be able

702
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: to take over enough. And that ground game, I mean,

703
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: between the tackles is going to be able to be

704
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: effective enough to where Miami covers here, and I think

705
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: Miami's going to win the game. Out right, sold out

706
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: venue there on Sunday night. By the way, I need

707
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 1: to tell you something the other night, I nonchalantly announced

708
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: during the show that the Pate State store was back

709
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: and that we had added some Fall Don't Lie merchandise.

710
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: We added three shirts. You see them if you're watching

711
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: on YouTube. They're right there. There's a handy QR code

712
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: for you to use. I really under estimated the traffic

713
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: the site was going to see it didn't crash, but

714
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: we moved some shirts the other night, and just out

715
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: of curiosity. If you have it all that just goes

716
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 1: right back into the show. That's how we make sure

717
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: we're fully independent. We don't have to lean on private

718
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: equity around here. For example. You guys help us out

719
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: on that front. And we also have real fun because

720
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: the better the store does, the quicker we can get

721
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: new designs made. And you know, like someone gives me

722
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: a good idea on a Monday night and by Thursday, voila,

723
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: it's on the site. That's kind of the vision we've

724
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: always had for the store. So Paytstatemterial dot com is open.

725
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: These designs are great. That middle one especially is my

726
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: favorite one, the Fall Don't Lie logo. It's immaculate. I

727
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: have ordered them for my entire apartment hold and I suggest, well,

728
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't suggest it. I humbly request that you consider

729
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: doing the same. Paytstatematerial dot com. Great, great stop this

730
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: time of year. Let's continue. You know what has made

731
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: us suspicious appearance in this stack of papers in front

732
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: of me, The JP Pole. The JP Pole is here

733
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: just in time for week one. JP Pole for those

734
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: of you who have been around for a little while,

735
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: and makes you inhale and say, here we go. And

736
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: for those of you who are new around here, this

737
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: is really where you determine how mature you are as

738
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: a viewer slash listener of this show, because it is

739
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: largely a disaster every single year, and it's not our fault,

740
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: not our fault. Watch for instance, or listen for instance.

741
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you exactly what this is. What

742
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: this is is a power rating of neutral field favorability

743
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: as determined by this model. If that sounds like Portuguese

744
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: to you, then what it is is a way of

745
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: stacking these teams up in order of how they would

746
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: be favored against each other on a neutral field if

747
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: the model were to spit out a point spread, just

748
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: like FanDuel for example, only we're not using FanDuel's numbers.

749
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: We generate our own numbers. They're going to look a

750
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: lot like fanduels because everyone's kind of using the same data.

751
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: We're just waiting it slightly differently here or there. There

752
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: is no gut involved here, there is no heart, there

753
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: is no brain. There's just data that is properly weighted.

754
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: The model doesn't even know what conference these teams are in.

755
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: In fact, the model doesn't even know who the team is.

756
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: The model just knows a set of data. I think

757
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: that's fair. Like, I think that's a fair way to

758
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: describe what the model is. And then we use it

759
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: and we generate the JP pole, which is a play

760
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: on the AP pole. I will get pushed back dozens

761
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: of times per week. Why do you call it a

762
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: pole that there's no voters? Because it sounds good? Why

763
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: does anyone call anything anything because it sounds good? But

764
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: don't you think it's irresponsible? No, I think it's a

765
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: fun thing we do on a college football show. I

766
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: think you're overthinking the room a little bit. Calm down,

767
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: you're acting like your mother. I think you're overthinking the

768
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: room a little bit. If you get bent out of

769
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: shape on what we're calling a fictitious poll, that's real

770
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: to us. But I digress, Bradley, without further ado show

771
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: us the JP Pole because we've had some movement. You know,

772
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: we're constantly baking in injury information and intel that we

773
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: get and we're tossing it into the old model here,

774
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: and so we do have a little movement. That's why

775
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: I felt it necessary to sort of re debut the

776
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: week one edition of the JP Pole. Texas and Ohio

777
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: State are still one two. Do not let the AP

778
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: lie to you. We absolutely have number one versus number

779
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: two this Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. We will be there,

780
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: all right. It's not one three. Forget all that nonsense.

781
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: Don't believe what the TV screen graphic tells you. It's

782
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: number one versus number two. Penn State's number three. They

783
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: moved one up, Georgia moved one down. For the record,

784
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: that is two tenths of a point that separates those two.

785
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: So before you start scrawling out the hate mail to

786
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: send to me, it's two tenths of a point. If

787
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: it makes you sleep better at night, flip them, flip them.

788
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: The model wouldn't even know the difference. It's less than

789
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: half a point. At Alabama five that is unchanged Oregon

790
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: is number six. They are now one spot ahead of

791
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Florida is now number eight. Look at the

792
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: eye rolls all over. There's no one in the studio.

793
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm just I've got that kind of connection with the audience.

794
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you're not buying Florida, and

795
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: that's okay. In due time, like the old man said

796
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: in Jurassic Park, I will be accepting your apologies. Don't

797
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: embarrass me, Florida, Billy, don't embarrass me. Clemson is at

798
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: number nine. They are down one again. These are very

799
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: very minute movements, like less than half a point on

800
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 1: all of them. Oklahoma's number ten. Now an important note here,

801
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: paper pop of the worst variety Oklahoma. Last year the

802
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: JP poll had pre season number twelve. Classic example of

803
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: don't blame me, blame the model. There is going to

804
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: be There is going to be fool's gold somewhere here.

805
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: It's inevitable. Doesn't matter how good your model is. Someone's

806
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: going to be dead on arrival, and someone's going to

807
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: be outside the top twenty five and make a move.

808
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: I just hope it's not Oklahoma again, because at that

809
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: point we have to ask some uncomfortable questions about Oklahoma

810
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: number eleven. Miami total wildcard team here, because if that

811
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: secondary is retooled and Carson Beck is frankly just what

812
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: we expected him to be last year, Miami could be

813
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: a top five team. Model doesn't really know. Model looks

814
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: at Carson Beck and it just has a giant question mark,

815
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 1: so it doesn't know. LSU number twelve. I think LSU

816
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: is the biggest potential exposure that I have and that

817
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: the model has, because I have LSU going eight and four.

818
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: They are the team that's actually capable of eleven and

819
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: one that I'm the lowist on. I fully acknowledge, yes,

820
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit lower on LSU than the market.

821
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: I acknowledged that they could make a fool out of

822
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: me and the model not in that orders you has

823
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: me concerned. Miami has me a little concerned having him

824
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: outside the top ten. A and M at thirteen, I

825
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 1: could kind of say the same thing, but I think

826
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: A and M's properly placed. Okay, there's a lot of

827
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: potential there, it's still got to be born out. Ole

828
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: Miss at fourteen. Largely agree USC's at fifteen. Do you

829
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: know where the AP has USC for all the USC

830
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: hatred that we get accused of on this show, and

831
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: for all of the USC slurping that the AP gets

832
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: accused of, we got him fifteen. The AP has USC

833
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: at thirtieth thirtieth. So once USC starts winning this year,

834
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: which they will enough, and the AP starts bumping them up. Remember,

835
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: in fact, let's have a side prop bet market on FanDuel.

836
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: How long does it take? How many weeks before the

837
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: AP ranking of USC surpasses the JP poll rating of USC.

838
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: Where do you say, Jesse, I must say week six.

839
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that's when Michigan comes in there, Give me week

840
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: give me week seven. I think week seven is when

841
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: the AP surpasses US. Let's go sixteen through twenty. So

842
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: we got Michigan at sixteen, we got South Carolina at seventeen,

843
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee at eighteen. These are unchanged. Nebraska is now in

844
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: the top twenty of the jpeople. Really really good returns

845
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: from camp about wide receiver. I think the offensive line

846
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: is getting shaken out. It just may not be the

847
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: starting five that were projected in preview magazines, but they'll

848
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: get the right starting five there and Georgia Tech number

849
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: twenty for the record, just like I said with usc AP,

850
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: we're doing your show prep for you. Here the AP

851
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: has Nebraska outside the top thirty again a dereliction of

852
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: duty covering the sport, and the AP has Georgia Tech

853
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: thirty first. I get it. You got to see it

854
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: to believe it. We believe it before we see it.

855
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: That's what faith is all about. And to a lesser degree,

856
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: the japeople the rest of them. Just if you're curious

857
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: where teams were or weren't Auburn's twenty one, they're just

858
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: outside the top twenty SMUs right behind them Illinois and

859
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: Indiana or in the twenty six to twenty seven range.

860
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: Utah has me concerned because we got Utah at twenty third.

861
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: The ceiling on Big twelve teams is going to be

862
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: a little lower because a lot of this is about

863
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: talent roster, and the Big twelve teams aren't going to

864
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: match up. I think Utah could make some noise. They

865
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: could also lose five games. This isn't necessarily about wins

866
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: and losses. It's about quality of team and neutral field favorability.

867
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, Utah at twenty three, it wouldn't surprise me

868
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: if there was some Big twelve team that ended up

869
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: cracking the top fifteen a few weeks in. If it

870
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: was Utah, hooms amongst us knows. That's why we're gonna

871
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: play the games. Happy to have you guys in. Make sure.

872

876
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,240

Speaker 1: us out. We appreciate it. We move on. Game predictions continue.

882
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: I got something at the end of the show. I'm

883
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: telling you, I'm looking at it right here. It's it's

884
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the show for a reason. It's

885
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: not the portnoys stuff. I'm gonna talk about that, but

886
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: it's not the portnoise stuff. In the meantime, Game predictions continue.

887
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: Alabama is at Florida State, Saturday, three point thirty ABC,

888
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: Joe Tess on the call. Power rated number one in

889
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: the PATE State play by play ratings. We'll see if

890
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: he holds on to it. It's hard to get a

891
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: read on Florida State for obvious reasons, So I mean,

892
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: what are you expecting from them? I got loose ideas.

893
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone knows what to expect, like I

894
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: certainly don't think they're back to their vintage twenty twenty

895
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 1: three ways or anything like that. But it's just hard.

896
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you got Gus Malzan the offensive coordinator there,

897
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: now you got Tony White the defensive coordinator. Probably the

898
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: most important coordinator higher that was made is Ryan Grubb

899
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: for Alabama out of all of them, and we get

900
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: to see them all on display here. It's the dawn

901
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: of the Ty Simpson era at quarterback Forbama. It's the

902
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: dawn of the Tommy Castellanos era. How many are going

903
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: to go soft on the els remains to be seen.

904
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: Another good solid FanDuel prop bet there there is a

905
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: world where this game is fundamental. So for the record,

906
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: Bama's a thirteen and a half point favorite right now

907
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: with good reason. So there's a world in the interest

908
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: of predicting this game where it doesn't take long, and

909
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: there's a world where this thing becomes really fundamental. Florida

910
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: State doesn't know their defensive identity, and that becomes obvious early.

911
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: Bama is fully in touch with their offensive identity, and

912
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: that becomes obvious earlier. They outmann Florida State. They can

913
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: just lean on them, they can take their pick. It's

914
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: really good balance play action games working, Bama ground games working.

915
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: It's a good plan for ty Simpson. They get several

916
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 1: pass catchers involved, take the crowd out of it. That's

917
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: one possible way this game goes. That's the way Bama

918
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: wins forty two to seventeen or something like that. But

919
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: that's not fun. So a lot of times, if you're

920
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: new around here, what we'll do on these double digit

921
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: type spreads, these two plus touchdown or thereabout type spreads

922
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: is we will just acknowledge there's a reason some teams

923
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: favored by double digits. We'll ask ourselves, do we think

924
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,959
Speaker 1: there's a shot that the underdog can win outright? And yes,

925
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: there is an outside shot that Florida State could win

926
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: this game outright, or we wouldn't be talking about it

927
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: on the show. So what we like to do with

928
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: the game breakdown is we like to ask, what would

929
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: that scenario be not to see Florida State cover? What

930
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: would the scenario be a Florida State actually won this game?

931
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 1: And I think it's pretty clear. I think it would

932
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: be Gus Malsan pulling a Vanderbilt two point zero. Quarterback

933
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 1: runs kill Bama. A quarterback scrambles on broken plays kill Bama.

934
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: The just mobile quarterback problem in general continues to bite them.

935
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: The option game is lethal. Third down is a nightmare.

936
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: Do you remember that Vandy game last year? Paper popper

937
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: of a stat here, Vandy was twelve of eighteen on

938
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: third down? Bamacan eighteen third down attempts is like half

939
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: a month. If you got to buy it could be

940
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: a whole month. Vandy had it in one afternoon. They

941
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: led twenty three to fourteen at the half. They beat

942
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: him forty to thirty five. This is the type of

943
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: game with Bama folks thinking their defense as improved as

944
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: we think it is, where they're saying, oh, I think

945
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: we'll win thirty five thirteen sort of, you know, thirty

946
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: eight to seventeen well, the way this goes sideways is

947
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: Malzan puts you in a blender in the first half.

948
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: He's been cooking something up all spring in summer, and

949
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: he pops it on you, and it's twenty to seventeen

950
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: at halftime already, and then the second half continues to

951
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: play according to script. A couple of interesting subplots here.

952
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: In the interest of just talking about all the ways

953
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: this game could go. There is also a world where

954
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: Bama wins the game, but there are all kind of

955
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 1: red flags on it. Kicking could be one of those.

956
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: I'm not very comfortable with the Bama kicking situation right now.

957
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: What if Bama wins the game but penalties are a

958
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: chronic issue because that was a chronic issue for them

959
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: last year. There could also be a scenario I'm not

960
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: trying to preach moral victory here for you, but Florida State,

961
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: if they lose the game thirty eight to ten, that's

962
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: not good. That's not good. Beyond just week one. What

963
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: if it's twenty four to twenty three, really really hard fought,

964
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: just dogfight of a game. They're up twenty three to

965
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: twenty one. Speaking to the Bama kicking game, like maybe

966
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: Bama hits a field goal at the buzzer, Quarterback Tommy

967
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: Castellano's backs up all the talking over the summer. That

968
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: actually gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling about Florida State

969
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: moving forward. So you can't just tell me they win

970
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: or they lose. I got to know how plays out.

971
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what the model thinks. The

972
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: FanDuel number right now is Bama minus thirteen and a half. Model.

973
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: It misled us badly on Florida State last year, so

974
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: let it be known the Model did not sink its

975
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: teeth into Florida State's issues until way too late in

976
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: the year. Models got Bama minus twelve. I fundamentally disagree.

977
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: I think there is an interesting way to bet this

978
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: game if you're so inclined, and I may talk about

979
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: it on Friday Night Lines at Josh pat CFB on

980
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: Instagram Live. But as for the whole game, I'm taking

981
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: Bama to win. I'm taking Alabama to cover. I think

982
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: they win the thing by sixteen seventeen plus something like that,

983
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: but I don't know that that's how the game starts.

984
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: And just leave it at that for now. Academy Sports

985
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: and Outdoors regardless of which fanbase you're in, there is

986
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: probably gonna be one in your backyard. It's time to tailgate.

987
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: And I cannot stress enough how comfortable and how manageable

988
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: the outdoors scene will be across most of the eastern

989
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: third of the country Saturday, and so it's late August.

990
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: But yet you get to get outside and you don't

991
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: even need a fan. You could purchase one at Academy,

992
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: but you don't need one. You just need chairs. You

993
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: can get them there. You need tailgate equipment, grilling equipment.

994
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: The canopy is the tents that just dot the tailgating landscape.

995
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: You can get it at Academy Sports and Outdoors. A

996
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: little bat and ball for the kiddos to play in

997
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: the background, keep an eye on them. You can get

998
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: it at Academy Sports and Outdoors. Clothing, footwear, Yeah, you

999
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: got all of it, Academy Sports and Outdoors. If you

1000
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: can't get their in person, Academy dot Com has your hookup.

1001
00:52:54,719 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: Longtime partner of the show, we appreciate them. Cleveland, Ohio

1002
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: is tuned in Fort Worth, Texas, Pensacola, Florida. Let's continue

1003
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 1: to roll on. Oh Boy, a good old fashioned topic

1004
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: on the show. Normally Tuesday Night is mostly game predictions,

1005
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: but every now and then something happens. Show me the tweet.

1006
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: Bradley can't believe. I actually can believe someone asked about this.

1007
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: Let me take a sip of water. Okay, Rich, Sorry,

1008
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: Rich from Muskegon, Michigan. He said, what do you make

1009
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: of this story about Dave Portnoy being banned from Ohio

1010
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: State week one? Can you break out paid state investigates

1011
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: and get to the bottom of it. Well, there's already

1012
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: been a lot of investigative journalism about this today. Rich, Now,

1013
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: if you are unaware of what we're talking about here,

1014
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: Dave Portnoy runs barstool built barstool. I think it's fair

1015
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: to say he leans Michigan. I think he's fair to say.

1016
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: Recently Acquire sired by Fox to appear on Big Noon Kickoff,

1017
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: which is their counter programming to College Game Day. As

1018
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: you can imagine, you're looking at Dave Portnoy this, it

1019
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: doesn't exactly sit well with certain institutions in the Big Ten.

1020
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: So earlier today, front Off of Sports reported that Ohio

1021
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: State was banning him from their stadium, which is noteworthy because,

1022
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: to give you a little inside Football. The way that

1023
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: these pregame shows work and the way it will work

1024
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: Saturday is anytime they're at a noon kickoff game. A

1025
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 1: lot of times, what they like to do is set

1026
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: up outside the stadium, do their first hour as they

1027
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: normally would outside the stadium, but then because the game

1028
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: is going to be starting in, all the crowd that

1029
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: they use to basically provide the ambiance is going to

1030
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: go in the stadium, they go inside the stadium for

1031
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: the final thirty minutes or hour of programming. They have

1032
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: an entirely different set built in the stadium. So Fox

1033
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: does that, ESPN does that. They'll both be their Saturday.

1034
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: I assume that they'll both do that. I know Fox will,

1035
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 1: it's a Fox game, and I assume ESPN will as well.

1036
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress. What's happening here is some people

1037
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: at Ohio State looked around and said Portnoy's coming in

1038
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: our stadium over our dead body he is, and front

1039
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: Off of Sports reported that, Okay. Then Dave Portnoy calls

1040
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: one of his classic emergency press conferences and he says, yeah,

1041
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 1: they banned me, and they also banned the barstool pregame show.

1042
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: They have their own separate pregame show that emanates from

1043
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: various CAMPI plural of campus across the country. And then

1044
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: Ross Dellinger swoops in, like Shawn Michael's on the zip

1045
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: line at what was the WrestleMania at twelve I believe,

1046
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: and it was in Anaheim. Anyway, he comes in and

1047
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 1: he says, nope, more breaking news. According to Ross Bjork

1048
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: the ad at Ohio State, and according to Fox themselves,

1049
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: this was a network decision. Fox just decided, Hey, our

1050
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: protocol is for guys who are going to be at

1051
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: the desk at the end of the show, those are

1052
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: the ones who are cre go inside the stadium. They're

1053
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 1: on the field. And we didn't plan on Dave being

1054
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: on camera at that point, so we weren't gonna have

1055
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: him in there either way. Much ado about nothing, right, Yeah,

1056
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: So I heard about this last week. This was brewin

1057
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: last week. I didn't say anything on air about it

1058
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: because I didn't really think it was a topic for

1059
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: the show. I was not surprised when I saw this

1060
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: headline pop up today. So what do we have here? Well,

1061
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: we have what Fox banked on. That's what we have.

1062
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: Fox looked around, they said college Game Day got a

1063
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: lot of juice right now, College Game Day went and

1064
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: got Pat McAfee. I don't really particularly care what you

1065
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: think about him. The results, the added viewership, the traffic,

1066
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: the attention, the profile of that show has increased net

1067
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: result of Pat McAfee being on air. They said, how

1068
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: do we respond to that? They thought to themselves, Dave portnoy,

1069
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: it's a good, solid chess move, right. The problem is,

1070
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 1: Dave Portnoy is not looked at nearly as fondly across

1071
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, maybe as Pat McAfee would be looked

1072
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: at across the SEC, because there's no allegiance that Pat

1073
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: has to any SEC program, And there is definite, like unapologetic,

1074
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: cut your chest open with a machete and bleed maze

1075
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: and blue type allegiance that Dave has with Michigan. This

1076
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: is not the football business. This is the entertainment business.

1077
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: This is what you banked on. If you're Fox, Fox

1078
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: knew pulling this string, they were about to piss off

1079
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: most of the Big Ten. They did it anyway. They

1080
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: did it anyway, and you know what the worst thing

1081
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: to do now would be to back off of it.

1082
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: Now you made your decision you ride with it. Ryan Day,

1083
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: for instance, I know hates this. I would if I

1084
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: were him. I don't think it's soft. Okay, A lot

1085
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: of people said, oh, this is soft, this is such

1086
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: a soft move. You'd do the same thing if you

1087
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: were them. If you listen to a guy trash you,

1088
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: if you listen to a guy call you crying, day

1089
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 1: over and over again, then found out, oh oh, our

1090
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: media partner hired him for their pregame show. Huh you

1091
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: think you just sit back and say, oh, well, I

1092
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: think you pretend like you'd say that. You wouldn't say that,

1093
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: you'd be just as petty and small as they are.

1094
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know that. I call it small. So

1095
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: I think both of the trade offs here, both sides

1096
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: of it are fair. Fox wants to roll the dice,

1097
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: you know. Fox wants to show a new side of

1098
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: themselves and put Portnoy on air. That's a gamble, it's

1099
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: a risk. It's edgy for a reason. You don't get

1100
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: to make those high risk decisions without any risk. Part

1101
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: of the risk is you're gonna make some people mad,

1102
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try and pull stuff like this. So

1103
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: if I'm okay with you making the hire, I'm okay

1104
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: with the counter to that. It's all entertainment. It's all

1105
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: the entertainment business. Day's not taking the field Saturday at kickoff, Okay,

1106
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: so it's not affecting the football game. So as long

1107
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: as it's not a in the football game, that means

1108
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with football. It has to

1109
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: do with entertainment. And for as much as you may

1110
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: hate this, like if you're Ryan Day, if I were

1111
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Day, as much as I may hate this, as

1112
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: much as it may really really aggravate me that this

1113
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: is even a thing that's on my radar that I

1114
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: have to worry about. Well that I am worried about.

1115
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm making ten plus million dollars a year because I'm

1116
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: in the entertainment business. I Am making ten plus million

1117
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: a year because of the attention that this stuff gets.

1118
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: And trust me, it's not always your zone blocking scheme

1119
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: that attracts the eyeballs. It's the spectacle of it all.

1120
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: It's the tradition, it's the pasgengtry, it's the storylines. Maybe

1121
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: some stuff that you could do with or without, but

1122
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: I guarantee you, when you look at that check you

1123
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: cash when ross Byork when any ad out there, when

1124
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: any administrative type, when any assistant coach, when you look

1125
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: at those checks, you cash those extra few zeros. I'm

1126
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: not saying it's because Dave Portnoy brought them to the table, well,

1127
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: but because of that culture, because of the fact that

1128
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: it exists, because of that entire ecosystem, you get to

1129
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: live the life you live. This is the trade off.

1130
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: So he trashes Ohio State. They put him on TV.

1131
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: You don't want him anywhere near you. That's all fair

1132
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: to me. That was like, that was my takeaway. It's

1133
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,919
Speaker 1: all fair to me. I'm just ready to kick off

1134
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Saturday like that. That's an eleven am, eleven fifteen am,

1135
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: eleven thirty am thing. I'm ready for twelve pm. That's

1136
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: what I'm ready for. Yeah, Jesse, he made a good

1137
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: point in my ear. Do me favor and like the

1138

Speaker 1: What I'm gonna get paid for licking the video? Yes,

1141
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: in a way, I hold in my hand very important

1142
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: piece of paper. Ladies and gentlemen, The Rama Noodle Express

Speaker 1: Payte State is just a less fancy way to describe

1147
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: our best bets of the week. We have profited every

1148
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: year but one since twenty seventeen off of riding the

1149
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: model to make our best bets for the week, and

1150
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: I've got three of them for you tonight. This is

1151
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: not exhaustive, so we update this all throughout the week.

1152
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: It will culminate with Friday night lines, which will emanate

1153
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: from whichever hotel I'm staying at in Columbus this Friday night.

1154
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: You need to be following, so like, check the Instagram

1155
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: story throughout the day. I'll let you know when I

1156
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: get in what time we're going to fire it up.

1157
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: It's usually I can tell you it's going to be

1158
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: halftime of the Auburn Baylor game. That's when we'll do

1159
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: it this Friday night. Imagine how great is that? How

1160
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: blessed of a college football people are we You're watching

1161
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Auburn and Baylor. Who in the world knows what that

1162
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: thing's going to look like? And then you get to halftime,

1163
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: Then you fire up Instagram live for twenty twenty five minutes,

1164
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: and I said, there in some ill lit hotel room,

1165
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: a nondescript part of Columbus, Ohio, what could go wrong?

1166
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I got the model pulled up and I am just

1167
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: taking live chat after live chat suggestion, let me know

1168
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: what you think about perdue ball State and I say, well,

1169
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: my goodness, produce favorite by eighteen and a half. The

1170
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: model thinks they should only be favored by twelve and

1171
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: a half. That's a Rama Noodle Express best bet. That's

1172
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: the vibe. Only you won't hear me say that exact

1173
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: thing Friday night, because I'm saying that exact thing right now.

1174
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: That is the first best bet of the year on

1175
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: the Rama Noodle Express, and that is ball State plus

1176
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: eighteen and a half. I love Barry Odom love him.

1177
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: He's got like eighty two new players on that team,

1178
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: and ball State is not exactly leading the country and

1179
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: returning production either. We just think eighteen and a half

1180
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: is way too many points for ball State to be totin.

1181
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take ball State plus eighteen and a half. Also,

1182
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: a game that concerns me is taking place in Atlanta,

1183
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: neutral site game the bane of my existence as future

1184
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: college football commissioner. This game would not be in Atlanta,

1185
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,479
Speaker 1: but until then, Syracuse is getting thirteen and a half.

1186
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: Syracuse is expected to fall off this year. They're playing Tennessee.

1187
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee's going to be looking to make a statement. Blah

1188
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: blah blah. Yeah, that's not how we see this game going.

1189
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: We think Tennessee should be a ten point favorite, not

1190
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,919
Speaker 1: a thirteen and a half point favorite. So we're taking

1191
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: Syracuse plus thirteen and a half. And you already heard

1192
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: me earlier tonight say I think Miami's gonna beat Notre

1193
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Dame outright. So if Fandel's going to give us two

1194
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: and a half, we're going to take two and a half.

1195
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: Sprinkle some on the money line as well. But as

1196
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: for the romanul express slash record keeping purpi plural of purpose,

1197
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna go Miami plus two and a half. More

1198
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: to come this week, immunity. That's all available at FanDuel.

1199
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Obviously the exclusive odds provider of the show. I was

1200
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: doing k Adams Show earlier today because it's Future's Day

1201
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: at FanDuel. I told you about that Sunday night, So

1202
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Future's Day, which still got about four hours left in it.

1203
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: In Central time zone is basically a holiday where they

1204
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: give you all kind of value on the futures markets

1205
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: over there. So like, if you think John Mattier could

1206
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: win the Heisman, this is the day you want to

1207
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: be betting it. Personally, I bet it like three months ago,

1208
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: but this is the day you want to be bettingan

1209
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: So we appreciate FanDuel, the exclusive odds provider of the show.

1210
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: I got asked, you know, do you think that there's

1211
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: a team out there that could have the national title

1212
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: and Heisman winner? Now you can say Texas, you could

1213
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: say that, I said Florida, Because if Flagway is good

1214

1216
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: to get in the playoff, they'll be good enough to

1217

Speaker 1: have terrible news. They're at it again. They're at it again.

1234

1236
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: my thoughts here. I'm not happy about this. Uh, this

1237
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: happens too often in our sport. Stop filibustering. What are

1238
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: you talking about? Well, here's what I'm talking about. Paul

1239
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: hit me from Dover, New Hampshire. He said, what were

1240
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: you talking about with people wanting to do away with

1241
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 1: the Pharmageddon name. Great question, Paul, I will tell you

1242
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: Farmageddon just got played in Dublin, Ireland. Farmageddon is the

1243
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: name of the Iowa State Kansas State rivalry game. All right,

1244
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: if you were following me on Twitter earlier today, you

1245
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: saw what Paul's talking about. Here. It is right here,

1246
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: Bradley's showing it to you. Oh big hiccup. I said.

1247
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: Any official from Kansas State or Iowa State or the

1248
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: Big twelve that has lobbied ESPN to not use the

1249
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: term pharmageddon is a completely unseerious person. This is a

1250
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: real thing that's happening. It's a serious thing. These are

1251
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: not serious people, but it is a serious thing. So

1252
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Rhys Davis, I believe, was doing the College Game Day podcast,

1253
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: and I believe it was today or yesterday. It was

1254
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: the most recent episode. There was a little snippet that

1255
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: caught some people's attention where he was talking about the

1256
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: game and they mentioned form again. They said the term

1257
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: and Ryes Davis revealed that there was a push by

1258
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: certain unnamed sweater vests in the room to have them

1259
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: not use that term on air, but he didn't get

1260
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: really specific about who it was, because he's too respectful

1261
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: and he's too professional. But I'm not so pate. State

1262
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: investigates went to get to the bottom of it today,

1263
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and I am telling you it has nothing to do

1264
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: with ESPN, and it has nothing to do with the

1265
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Big twelve. But there are, in fact people, There are,

1266
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: in fact folks moving in the shadows who are trying

1267
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: to do exactly what he suggested, and that is take

1268
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: great rivalry game names and eradicate them like the old

1269
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: dudes sitting on the cracker barrel logo. As of two

1270
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: hours ago, the old dude on the cracker barrel logo

1271
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: is back because common sense prevailed. Golf Clap to all

1272
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: of you bullying works. Memaw taught me that a long

1273
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: time ago. So it's time to bully your local Big

1274
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: twelve sweater vest because they're trying to do it to

1275
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: your conference America's college football conference rivalries are the best

1276
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: thing about college football. Rivalry names are some of the

1277
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 1: best things about the best things in college football. And

1278
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: you got folks who have no clue which way is

1279
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: up when it comes to tradition and pageantry. You got

1280
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: folks wearing school colors that have no clue what those

1281
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: colors represent. And I'm telling you, as much as you

1282
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: made to test some of these people, you do not

1283
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: detest them enough. Nobody hates college football more than some

1284
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: of the people that try and run college football. So

1285
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: the types of people we're talking about here are not coaches,

1286
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 1: They are not media executives. Even in this case, Na,

1287
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: it's your good old fashioned campus sweater vest. The kind

1288
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: of people who you don't see a whole lot. You

1289
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: don't see them because they wait until mid first quarter

1290
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: to arrive at the stadium and they leave mid fourth

1291
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: quarter so they don't have to rub shoulders with you.

1292
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 1: They will pose with the concession food, but then they

1293
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: toss in the trash after you put the phone away

1294
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,719
Speaker 1: because they're still full from brunch at the country club.

1295
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: Their job exists because of you, but they can't stand you.

1296
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: They have nothing in common with you. They could not

1297
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: care less about you. And they look at a name

1298
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:23,799
Speaker 1: like farm aged and they say it's got farm in it, farming,

1299
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: Who farms? Farmers? That's who farms. Check your fridge. Check

1300
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: it where you think that came from. It didn't come

1301
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: from Lower Manhattan. A lot of folks marketing degrees, and

1302
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,799
Speaker 1: that's the worst thing they could peep they could possibly

1303
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: be equipped with, because they've got degrees and a bunch

1304
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: of stuff that's hanging on the wall. What they are

1305
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: not degreed in whatsoever is basic human nature. They don't

1306
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: know real people. They don't They might as well be

1307
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: your kid playing with a bubble set, those bubbles floating

1308
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: through the air. That's the extent of their social circle.

1309
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: And they don't want it to be any other way.

1310
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: They got nothing with you. And it's okay if they

1311
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: exist outside college football. But every now and then one

1312
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 1: of these folks weasels their way into a decision making

1313
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 1: position in college athletics and they look around and they say,

1314
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: oh good, I can make a lot of money over here,

1315
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: but I don't like this world. It doesn't look like

1316
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: a world that I want to have anything to do

1317
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: with it. And so what do they do? Do They leave? No? No, Instead,

1318
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,679
Speaker 1: they try and fundamentally change everything about this world. Things

1319
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 1: that we would consider great they consider a nuisance. Rivalry

1320
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: game names being one of those. And I am here

1321
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: to tell you that as Pate State investigates looked around

1322
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 1: this issue earlier today, I uncovered some troubling news. While

1323
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: there may be nameless, faceless sweater vests at Iowa State

1324
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: and or Kansas State that would like to do away

1325
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: with the rivalry game name for him, aged that's not

1326
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: the only rivalry game name that is under threat, even

1327
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve. So let's take a lesson from

1328
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel protocol. The old Dude's back, the old logos back.

1329
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: But at least at least there we had to watch

1330
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: and suffer through all the cringiness all week where we

1331
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: watch people painfully out of touch with a brand and

1332
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: its mission try and torch it and its credibility, only

1333
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,759
Speaker 1: to be saved at the eleventh hour. And the Big twelve.

1334
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Don't let it come to that. You got to bully

1335
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: these people, not physically, but verbally, and not in necessarily

1336
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: a harassing way. But you just gotta let them know.

1337
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: Let them know what Big twelve football means, let them

1338
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 1: know what college football means. When they throw around those

1339
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: words tradition and pageantry just cause they focus group, well,

1340
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 1: let them know they mean more than just the needle

1341
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: ticked up in their focus group meter. Those aren't just

1342
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 1: tested words. Those words mean something to people, culture, ways

1343
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: of life. That stuff means something to people like us,

1344
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: and so I would recommend you speak up long and

1345
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: loud on this sort of thing, or else you may

1346
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 1: find yourself on the defensive. Like our fine friends at

1347
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel did so they prevailed. I hope we will

1348
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: on this front. That's how I'd like to end tonight's show.

1349
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys. We're gonna start to show an hour

1354
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:32,840
