9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: dive heavily into the college football playoff eleventh hour scenario

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: at noon Eastern on Sunday, he made for TV Invitational

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: Tournament Committee. I'm not calling it a playoff. I never

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: have it, I never will. We'll announce the four winners,

Speaker 2: your prize. We'll talk about who controls their destiny, will

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: break down some matchups, and you know, it reminds me

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: of a story of two hunters out in the middle

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: of the forest and all of a sudden they see

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: a bear who starts to approach them. One of the

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: hunters reaches down into his duffel bag and puts on

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 2: a nice brand new pair of tennis shoes he just bought,

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: and his partner looks at him and says, Huh, you

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: really think those tennis shoes are gonna help you outrun

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: that bear. He looks at his buddy and says, I

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: don't have to outrun the bear. I just have to

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: outrun you. This is what reminds me of the daunting

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: task this playoff committee is going to have. Washington is

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: in and you know I want to I want to

28
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: take a minute to give them their flowers before I

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: get to we made history. And props to Jason and

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: Mike Tonight, really good stuff on their on their final

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: send off of the PAC twelve. Uh and in the

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: final send off, it's it just came down to this.

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: Oregon had no answer for any of the stud Washington receivers.

34
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: There's three of them, or their running back Dillian Johnson

35
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: thirty four to thirty one that final third down play,

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: eighteen yard rush. Michael Pennix throws for three nineteen and

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: these three receivers Jayalen mcbill and Roman and Doomsday and

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: Jalen Polk, they combine for twenty two catches in two

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety yards. If they match up against Michigan,

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kind of like Washington. But that's a that's

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: a conversation for a different day. We are gonna get

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: heavily into the college football playoff scenario again. Who controls

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: their own destiny the matchups my thoughts on what might happen. Obviously,

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: Georgia they hold their own destiny. Michigan holds their own destiny.

45
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: Florida State they might need help. I don't know what

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: kind of help, but they might win. You know, In

47
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff bylaws, the committee reserves the right

48
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: to omit a team if there are quote material changes

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: to the composition of their roster. Now, there's always been

50
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: a fund of a problem with this format because there

51
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: are five power conferences and only four slots. God forbid,

52
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: we would have had five undefeated teams. Well, doesn't look

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: like that's gonna be the case, right, So where am

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: I going with this? The ACC is by far considered

55
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: the inferior. Maybe that's not the correct word, but they

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: are not in the same class as the PAC twelve,

57
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: the Big twelve of the SEC, or the Big ten.

58
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: So hold that thought. Bottom of the r We're gonna

59
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 2: get heavily into this tonight and we'll cover everything from

60
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: soup to nuts. It's been an interesting twenty four hours

61
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: because we had an NFL game Thursday night that also

62
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: made history only the fifth time in the NFL regular

63
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: season history. Hey, have you ever had a game where

64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: there were no punts? Hasn't happened a lot? Both punters

65
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: hung around on the sidelines. They don't need to wash

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: your uniform. They got to play the may tag repair man.

67
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: I know that's a weak ass old timey reference. Google it.

68
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: Just google it. Get out your Commodore sixty four and

69
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: google the damn thing. Oh, by the way, if you're

70
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: also into historical minutia, the Seahawks the first team ever

71
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: in National Football League history to score thirty five five

72
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 2: points in a game, not punt once and still lose.

73
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: And I guess you give it up to the Cowboys

74
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: in mister November, mister October, mister September, Dak Prescott. He

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: is so good when it doesn't matter, although, well, I

76
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: guess look the Cowboys their victory over Seattle fourteenth in

77
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: a row at home. The last time they lost at

78
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: home was Week one of the twenty twenty two season.

79
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: And that was against a guy named Tom Brady in

80
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, during that same time period,

81
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, though, are only six and seven on the

82
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: road down including the playoffs where they went one and

83
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: one last year. Now, given that the Cowboys are likely

84
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: to win their division and make the playoffs as a

85
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 2: wild card, their reliance I think on their home Jerry

86
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: Dome Stadium could be a major liability for the Super

87
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 2: Bowl chances. And frankly, I think the Cowboys' real test

88
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: is yet to come. This was the first time the

89
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: Cowboys beat an opponent with a winning record since Week two,

90
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: that's when they beat Jason's New York Jets, who were

91
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: want to know at the time. However, the Cowboys gave

92
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 2: up thirty five points Thursday night to an offense Seattle

93
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: that was struggling mightily before Thursday's game, that less touchdown

94
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: before DKD Metcalf's seventy three yard touchdown in the first

95
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: quarter when he ran twenty three miles an hour. If

96
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: he's scoring at home, and I hope you are well.

97
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: The next three weeks, the Cowboys play the Eagles, not

98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: Glenn Fry, the Eagles. Jalen Hurts the Bills and then

99
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: the Dolph before taking on the lines of Week seventeen

100
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: and know by the way in Week eighteen they get

101
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 2: the Commanders on the road, another tough divisional game. Depending

102
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: on how well or badly they do in the next

103
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: four weeks, believe it or not, the Cowboys final game

104
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: of the season could mean whether or not they get

105
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: into the playoffs at all, depending on what happens the Cowboys.

106
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: They did need to beat the Seahawks to temporarily keep

107
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: their critics quiet, not me, but the next three or

108
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: four weeks will be the real test of how good

109
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: they can be. Those are my primary takeaways from Thursday night,

110
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: And in admission, you Seattle Seahawks fans, you might even

111
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: have an either tougher road because you got the forty

112
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: nine Ers next week it's at San Francisco. Remember they

113
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: got molly wopped, as Kevin Figures would say, Thanksgiving Night

114
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: at home against them, and then you got the Eagles

115
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: the week after that, forty nine Ers and Eagles back

116
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: to back. The Seahawks other games Steelers, Titans, Cardinals. I

117
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: would just say this, it feels like the Seahawks have

118
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: competed hard I'd like to thank them for competing in

119
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season. They're probably gonna be eight

120
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: to nine just the way I get, that's my guess.

121
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: They won't be in a wild card spot. Although you

122
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: know what, special recognition to DK Metcalf. He had a

123
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: career night. He doubled the season total for receiving yards

124
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: or checked out receiving touchdowns. He had three against the Cowboys,

125
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty four receiving yards, and uh, you know,

126
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: he's a stud, just you know a little. Maybe you

127
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: started the minding fantasy team. Good for you. But the

128
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: headline very simple. The Cowboys. They were able to hold

129
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: off the Seahawks a very penalty ridden game, forty one

130
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: to thirty five. The ultimate outcome it never seems certain

131
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: all the way to the very end, honestly, giving that

132
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: brilliant Mike McCarthy time management, and it didn't feel like

133
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: they were going to win. I mean, couple of minutes

134
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: into the fourth quarter they were down thirty five to

135
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: twenty seven, but they got some late drives, the defense

136
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: did get some timely stops. But it does feel a

137
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: little shaky. And by the way, the Cowboys and Seahawks

138
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: combined for nineteen penalties, including six defensive pass interference calls.

139
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: Maybe Cleete Blakeman needs to swallow his whistle once in

140
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: a while, But regardless, remember how Mike McCarthy said at

141
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season three years ago, we were

142
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: going to clean up. We're going to clean up the

143
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: penalty problem. That's one hell of a cleanup job. So

144
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 2: we shall see what we shall see. Coming up, We're

145

00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: This time is welcome and a gentleman from Denver, one

180
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: of my favorites. You hear him on one oh four

181
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: point three to fan talking all Denver sports very much

182
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: as interesting. Finger on the Pulse. Say hello to Chad Andrews. Chad,

183
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: good to catch up with you again.

184
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: Buddy, Good evening, Borney, how are you good?

185
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: And I want to start with something here that would

186
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: be right in your alley. When you heard that Dion

187
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: was named the sports person of the Year by Sports Illustrated,

188
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: what was your knee jerk reaction, especially since you have

189
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: another luminary in Denver that should have probably gotten some consideration.

190
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought they were in the right area code

191
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 5: here in the three h three, but maybe they're AI

192
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 5: messed up when they were choosing their sports person. So

193
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: you know, clearly, nicolea Jokish, I think with his accomplishments

194
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 5: and continuing to change the game in the NBA, whether

195
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 5: anyone will even acknowledge it or not on the national level,

196
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 5: would would have been a choice. If you were going

197
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 5: to look to the Rocky Mountain region, I would think,

198
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 5: and you know, nothing against Pat Forty, who I love

199
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 5: and as a great writer and has been awesome at

200
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 5: Sports Illustrated for so long. He wrote a great piece,

201
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 5: and I don't want to come off as anything against

202
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 5: him at all, but the choice I just found interesting that,

203
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 5: you know, it looked like it was something that is

204
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 5: probably designed for clicks more than it is for accomplishments.

205
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 5: Even though Prime is doing his thing to change the

206
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 5: game of college football somewhat, I think it's a little

207
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 5: bit of a stretch to call him sports Person of

208
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 5: the Year fair.

209
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: And I think the sensationalist aspect of the Colorado story

210
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 2: this year, although you can't tell the story without reminding

211
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: everybody they not only went one to eight impactful play

212
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: this year. They went one and eight impactful play last year.

213
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: But he put the world on its year in September.

214
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to give Colorado a mulligan this year. I

215
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: want to see what happens next year. But in light

216
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: of all the developments, players transferring out, we're not going

217
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: to be an ATM machine, et cetera, et cetera. A

218
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: couple of assistants leaving what is your narrative? What is

219
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: your headline for Colorado football? Chad in twenty twenty three.

220
00:12:52,760 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: Ooh, twenty twenty three. I suppose you could say the beginning,

221
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 5: and what is yet to be written is how long

222
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,119
Speaker 5: this is going to last and how much of a turnaround,

223
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 5: how big of a turnaround can be created while coach

224
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 5: Prime is there. But I don't know that you can

225
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 5: say much more than a beginning, because that's all it was.

226
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 5: It was the beginning of a season that was successful.

227
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 5: It wasn't a full season. It was the beginning of

228
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 5: a new process at Colorado with him in charge, in

229
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 5: the way things are going to operate, and it's the

230
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: beginning of a new area in college football where you

231
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: are going to see attempts at larger roster turnovers. So

232
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 5: I guess I would stick with that. You know, the

233
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 5: on field product, I have to say I was not

234
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 5: really impressed with.

235
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's fair and I think the record

236
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: speaks for itself. But to maintaining our objectivity, he really

237
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: injected life into the Colorado program, gave them hope, put

238
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: them back on the app, created a lot of attention.

239
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: Something Rick new Harzla guy like and Gary Barnett could

240
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: could not do. What is your outlook for twenty twenty four.

241
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: What will be the narrative if they're under five hundred

242
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: again or do you expect him to build on this

243
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: or was this just a flash in the pan jaed.

244
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 5: It's going to be interesting to see what kind of

245
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 5: talent comes, particularly in the transfer portal, because that's what

246
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 5: they're relying on because they want to win immediately while

247
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 5: shad Or Sanders and Travis Hunter are there, they want

248
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 5: a ten win or more season next year. I don't

249
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 5: think that's achievable no matter who comes through the transfer portal.

250
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 6: And the most.

251
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 5: Difficult part is after next year, Shadoor Sanders and Travis

252
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 5: Hunter are going to be gone. So where does that

253
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: leave you at the quarterback position? Where does that leave

254
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 5: you in terms of your passion to go out and

255
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 5: recruit and build a program with the class after class

256
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 5: after class of high school recruits. If you're going to

257
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 5: try to rely on transfers every year, I don't know

258
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: that you can have long term success when you have

259
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 5: a bunch of guys that haven't been through it together.

260
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 5: They didn't come in together. They haven't gone through the

261
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 5: weight training and the training table programs together. They haven't

262
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 5: gone through the good times and the bad times together

263
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 5: on and off the field. They're just kind of out

264
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 5: there for one season, right. I don't know that you

265
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 5: can have the kind of success that coach Prime wants

266
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 5: to have by building teams that way. I just don't

267
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 5: see it. Clearly hasn't been done, and I don't know

268
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 5: if I can provide the vision to see that it

269
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 5: can be done that way.

270
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: I think it's a very fair objective analysis. One last question.

271
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: You're correct after next year, no Travis Center, no shud

272
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: Or Sanders. So where does that leave you in a

273
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: head coaching position. Could you see Dion Sanders move on

274
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: after twenty twenty four?

275
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely, I could see him move on. But I

276
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: don't think he's going to move on anywhere else. I

277
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: don't think his agent, his health. I don't think he's

278
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 5: going chasing other big jobs and trying to start over

279
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 5: and coach players that aren't his kids. Whether it's after

280
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 5: Shader and Travis Leeve, or whether it's after Dylan Edwards

281
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 5: who was a freshman this year, a kid he's known

282
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 5: his whole life and coached quite a bit, and those

283
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 5: guys leave. I don't think it's a long term plan here.

284
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 5: He's not going to be coaching at Colorado for ten

285
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 5: or twelve or fifteen seasons. That's not going to happen.

286
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: Before I get your thoughts on this College Football TV

287
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: made for invitational tournament that I call and the selection.

288
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: I want to stay in Denver because a few weeks

289
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: ago when you had we had you on the Broncos

290
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: around the heels of giving up seventy points to the Dolphins.

291
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: They've just won five in a row with the defense

292
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: gave up communitaty cumulatively eighty points. I feel like Sean

293
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: Payton has really changed the culture and this team has

294
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: a shot to make the playoffs. You're there in the

295
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: belly of the Beast. What are your thoughts?

296
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's essentially a playoff game coming up on Sunday

297
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 5: in Houston, because if they win that game, they're going

298
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: to have a better than fifty percent chance, almost a

299
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 5: sixty percent chance to make the playoffs with five games

300
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 5: to go. If they don't, it's going to drop below

301
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 5: ten percent. So go ahead and look at Sunday's game

302
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 5: against CJ. Stroud and the Texans of the playoff game,

303
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 5: and I think the Broncos can stay hot enough to

304
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 5: get it done against the rookie quarterback and do it

305
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 5: on the road. That's going to give everybody renewed hope

306
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 5: around here. Right now, people are still kind of treading

307
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 5: lightly and really getting wrapped up in how nice the

308
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 5: story is and the fact that there's hope going forward

309
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 5: because Sean Payton was able to turn it around from

310
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 5: one to five and probably the worst team in the

311
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 5: NFL through six games, and now to even be having

312
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 5: this conversation. It provides hope for the longer term future.

313
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 5: If they win Sunday, it's going to hope for the

314
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 5: immediate future.

315
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: What's been the biggest factor? Obviously Russell Wilson has shown

316
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: flashes of the younger Russell Wilson and this top rated

317
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: defense last year is starting to find its stride again.

318
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 5: What change what flipped turnover differential? And the reason that

319
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 5: happened is Sean Payton started to coach this team to

320
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 5: the strength of the current personnel and not trying to

321
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 5: fit the square peg into the round hole of the

322
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 5: way he wants to play. I mean, he's not trying

323
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 5: to force the football down the field in the air. Instead,

324
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 5: they were lying on the running game. In a very

325
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 5: short passing game, getting the ball out of Russell Wilson's

326
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 5: hands very quickly, using fullbacks, using extra tight ends to

327
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 5: help the offensive lineout and provide protection and take away

328
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 5: really all of the decision making from russ it's a

329
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 5: one read and go or else use his legs, and

330
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 5: it's helped the offense eliminate turnovers. The defense has then

331
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 5: been able to be on the field less and they've

332
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 5: been more effective in forcing turnovers and set up the

333
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 5: field position they've made and their kicker has come through.

334
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 5: He's a Special Teams Player of the Month. They've won

335
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 5: games based on effective field goal kicking and winning the

336
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: turnover battle, and if they continue to do that, they're

337
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 5: going to stay in the playoff BIS.

338
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: When they were one and four, there were rumblings he'd

339
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: lost the locker room. What's the culture in the locker room.

340
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 5: Now totally different? And I was one of those people

341
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: that was legitimately asking the question, because going up to

342
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 5: the trade deadline at Halloween, we were wondering if they

343
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 5: were going to ship out players, who they were going

344
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 5: to ship out, and if there were any of the

345
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: players that could command anything in a trade that really

346
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 5: wanted to be here and go through this at one

347
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 5: and four, one in five did they want to put

348
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 5: up with this with the way Sean Payton had started?

349
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 5: And clearly the answer was yes, because they were all

350
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 5: bought in, they were all engaged, and they've all contributed

351
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 5: and turning it around.

352
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: Let's dive quickly and you get your thoughts on the

353
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: college football playoff. We were in the eleventh hour. We've

354
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 2: got George's a short favorite over Alabama, Michigan twenty three

355
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: points over Iowa. Of course, Florida State very short favorite

356
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: one and a half over Louisville, and then Texas a

357
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: double digit favorite over Oklahoma State. It feels like there

358
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: will be one upset Saturday, which in your view, would

359
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: be the most likely where that upset would come from.

360
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 5: I think everyone's pointing at Florida State right potentially being

361
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 5: upset if their second quarterback can't play with becussing protocol

362
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 5: and they're down to a third string freshman. I think

363
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 5: everybody is looking there, and I think everybody is kind

364
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 5: of secretly maybe hoping that if they're fans of the

365
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 5: blue blood programs and they want the big boys in there,

366
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 5: they want to make it a little bit easier on

367
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: the committee's decision. But that seems to me easily the

368
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 5: most likely upset scenario, unless, of course, you want to

369
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: throw your chips in with Nick Saban playing in the

370
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 5: SEC Championship in Atlanta where he doesn't lose those games.

371
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: That's but he doesn't have two of Bryce Young or

372
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts his time. Last question, let's have a little fun.

373
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: Let's assume Florida State does get beat tomorrow, just for

374
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: purposes of this conversation, but Bama, Texas, and Michigan all win.

375
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: Michigan's in they're undefeated, so there's two of the four.

376
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: Bama will have beaten Georgia, they would be the SEC champ. Yeah,

377
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: I think you'd have to put him in as a

378
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: one loss SEC champ. But Texas would be the big

379
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: twelve to one loss champ and they've beaten Bama. However, Georgia,

380
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: the two time defending champ, would is be their only loss.

381
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: I know it's not a lifetime achievement. Ward, who gets

382
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: left out? Who's your final four? If Bama beats Georgia,

383
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: Texas beats Oklahoma State, but Florida State.

384
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 5: Loses, well, Bernie, someone must have gotten to you and

385
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 5: told you about this whole system being the bane of

386
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 5: my existence, because me too, year after year after year,

387
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 5: I have these conversations of what should happen, right, but

388
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 5: then what will happen? And obviously what should happen is

389
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 5: the games played on the field should count for something,

390
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 5: so Texas should get a nod in that scenario. What

391
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 5: will happen in that scenario is Alabama and Georgia will

392
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 5: be the third and fourth teams.

393
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think your instincts are probably

394
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: spot on. We'll have to see what happens on the field.

395
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: My humble opinion, I don't think Bama's beating Georgia. But hey, Chad,

396
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: as always, we greatly appreciate your stuff and we want

397
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: to wish you and your family happy holidays.

398
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 6: Thanks buddy.

399
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 5: Cheering for those rebels tomorrow go get that MBC title.

400
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are a three point underdog here at Legion

401
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: against Boise State. Thanks so much again, Chad. Appreciate you, buddy,

402
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: all right, Ernie, that is Chad Andres one oh four

403
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: point three defen in Denver. I really appreciate his ability

404
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: to break things down in bite sized pieces. Tonight's show

409
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: Slash match coming up, we dive into it. It's the

410
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: eleventh hour the College Football Made for TV Invitational Tournament.

411
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: But first let's go to our guy, Kevin Figures with

412
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 2: the latest.

413
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 7: Well, we have one entry into that College Invitational Tournament

414
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 7: that was locked up on Friday night. There, Bernie Washington

415
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 7: outlasting number five Oregon in the PAC twelve Championship game

416
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 7: thirty four to thirty one. The final score Dylan Johnson

417
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 7: rushing for one hundred and fifty two yards and two

418
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 7: scores for the Huskies. He also had a touchdown pass there.

419
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 7: Liberty also finished the season with an undefeated record at

420
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 7: thirteen to zero. They would beat in Mexico State to

421
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 7: win the Conference USA Championship the final there forty nine

422
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 7: to thirty five, and the NBA, the Nuggets won their

423
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 7: fourth in a row, a one to nineteen to one

424
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 7: eleven win over Phoenix. Nicola Jokis twenty one points and

425
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 7: sixteen assists. Memphis defeated Dallas one o eight to ninety four.

426
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 7: It was the Pelicans one twenty one and the Spurs one six.

427
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 7: San Antonio has lost fourteen games in a row wins

428
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 7: for the Knick, Celtics and Magic have won nine straight.

429
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 7: In college basketball, in Northwestern beat top ranked per Due

430
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 7: in overtime ninety two to eighty eight. Kansas beat Yukon

431
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 7: in a top five matchup, sixty nine to sixty five.

432
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: Back to Bernie Fredo.

433
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Kevin, appreciate you, buddy. All Right, here we go

434
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 2: noon Eastern on Sunday. The Playoff Committee, I'll call them

435
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: that for now to respect, they'll announced the four teams

436
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 2: that are be playing for the national championship. And to

437
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: a degree, it's anybody's guest who all four will be. Obviously,

438
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: Washington is in. I'd be shocked, beyond shocked if Iowa

439
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: beat Michigan. If Michigan loses there out they're not getting in.

440
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: But let's just assume Michigan is in alongside Washington. When

441
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 2: we woke up this morning, threecap briefly, there were eight

442
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: teams with no losses or one loss that actually had

443
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 2: a realistic chance on making the final four because the committee,

444
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: I thank Georgia, Michigan, Washington, Florida State, Oregon, fifth, Ohio State, Texas,

445
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: and Bama your top eight. It's not inconceivable other than Oregon,

446
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 2: now who's done that any of these could potentially get in.

447
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 2: Of the eight. Ohio State's the only one not playing

448
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: in a conference championship game this weekend. They would need

449
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of upsets if they hope to sneak into

450
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 2: the field. Georgia, Michigan, Washington locks to get in if

451
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: they win their conference titles. Washington is in, but it's

452
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: not a guarantee Georgia win, and it wasn't a guarantee

453
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: all three would win heading into today, so I think

454
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 2: when Washington won it spooked a lot of teams. But

455
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 2: Michigan's a three touchdown favorite in the Big Ten game

456
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: against Iowa. Georgia is favored by about five and a

457
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: half against Bama, and you already know what happened Washington

458
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 2: and Oregon. The last undefeated team is Florida State. They're

459
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: favored by one and a half against Louisville, but even

460
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: if the Seminoles win, they're hardly assured of getting in

461
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: to the playoff if they win, even if they win.

462
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: Now this is where the chaos becomes, because one or

463
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: more losses by the teams in the top four that

464
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: would create some serious chaos. But things start to get

465
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: really wacky, really wacky if the committee decides to stiff

466
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: Florida State. I think it would be a real gut punch.

467
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: If you're thirteen to zero and you're undefeated, and you're

468
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: a conference champion, but their quarterback is hurt and now

469
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: their backup quarterbacks and concussion protocol one I understand. I

470
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 2: think I'm not sure if he's going to play Saturday.

471
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 2: And again. In the by laws, the college Football Playoff bylaws,

472
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: the committee reserves the right to omit a team if quote,

473
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 2: there are a material changes to the composition of the roster.

474
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 2: So I don't know that Florida State's a great team anyway,

475
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: although they deserve to be where they're at in terms

476
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 2: of the rankings fourth based on what they've done. So

477
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: what do you do, best team most deserving? The committee

478
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: they want to put the best four teams in. You're

479
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 2: telling me Florida State with their second or third spring

480
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks better than Georgia even if they lose, better than Bama,

481
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: better than Michigan, Washington, better than Texas. How the Committee

482
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: views Florida State this is going to be one of

483
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 2: the most interesting and curious parts of this entire equation.

484
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: Now Florida State loses to Louisville in the season title game,

485
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: that makes the decision a lot easier. But I don't

486
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: think you could rule out I'm not predicting it, but

487
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't think you could rule out that the Committee

488
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: would decide to admit a thirteen and no Florida State

489
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: team from the playoff. That's because, let's just face it,

490
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 2: they relied heavily on their superstar quarterback Jordan Travis and

491
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: when he got hurt and there it was against North

492
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: Alabama of all teams, back on November eighteenth, a serious

493
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: leg injury. You can go right on the committee website

494
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: and it says cool it will consider factors such as

495
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected

496
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: a team's performance during the season or likely will affect

497
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: its postseason performance. That's not too hard to interpret. In

498
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: other words, if the Committee believes that Florida State was

499
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: one of the best teams in the country, with Jordan

500
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: Travis center center. But they reserve the right to drop

501
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: Florida State the rankings if they believe they are honest, formidable.

502
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: Excuse me. With t Rodemaker running the offense, or even

503
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: if he can't run the offense, who knows, I don't

504
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: know what the extent of his injury is. That really

505
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: puts Florida State in a difficult position Saturday night. So

506
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: winning the game really might not be enough to secure

507
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: a playoff spot. It would clause. I think it would

508
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: cause massive outrage, But I don't think it's an impossibility

509
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: that Florida State is left on the outside looking in

510
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: even if they win. Now this I believe, and thank god,

511
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: this is the last year it is GOOFY four team format.

512
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: I've never liked it never, I'll take it because it's

513
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: all we have. Because even though the committee with respect

514
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: to their own bylass, and if you go to a

515
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: bar and line up of twenty folks who've been hooked

516
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: up to a bunder since noon, but they have sports opinions,

517
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna ask them who's better undefeated Florida State team

518
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: or one lost Georgia, one loss Alabama or Florida State

519
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: one lost Texas Florida State. I don't know how many

520
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: people are gonna say Florida State, but if you leave

521
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: them out and they're undefeated, this will create a level

522
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: of controversy that no committee has ever come close to

523
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: taking on. How can Florida State maybe circumvent that from

524
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: happening by kicking the crap out of Louisville, which I

525
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: don't expect them to do. Remember, we had a similar

526
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 2: situation back in twenty fourteen. They were same discussions with

527
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State where they were down to Cardell Jones as

528
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: their third string quarterback, and then they went out and

529
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: beat Wisconsin, a very good Wisconsin team, fifty nine to

530
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: nothing on a Saturday night, and said, oh yeah, I

531
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: think we can hang with you guys for a while.

532
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: Then they proceeded to go to the play This was

533
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: before the fourteen playoff or maybe well I don't remember,

534
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: I'm lost. All I know is they beat the crap

535
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: out of Oregon, a very good Oregon team in the playoffs.

536
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: This is Urban Myers championship team after at Ohio State.

537
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: So if Florida State wants to really strengthen their case,

538
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: they got to beat the Cardinals they got to beat

539
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: the Louisville Cardinals by a ton. I'm talking twenty points

540
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: or more, and I don't know that's not going to

541
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: be so easy. I think you're gonna see Louisville. They

542
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: got an above average defense and they'll pull out all

543
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: the stops. They got plenty of trick plays in their arsenal.

544
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: A part of the reason Florida State's in such a

545
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: precarious position is again, as like you said, there are

546
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: plenty of one lost teams. Very Stewan resume is the

547
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: biggest challenge for this committee is going to be choosing

548
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: which one of the one loss teams should earn a

549
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: spot in the field in the event one or more

550
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: of the current top four lose this weekend, which you've

551
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: already had had well, we haven't had that happen. Excuse me.

552
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: Washington was third, Oregon was fifth. They would have been

553
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: a shoe in if they would have beaten Washington. The

554
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: more difficult question, I know I'm repeating myself, is what

555
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 2: do you do with a one lost Texas or a

556
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: one loss Alabama. That would have meant a one loss

557
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: Alabama would have won the SEC and been the SEC champions.

558
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: A one loss team Texas would have been a one

559
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: loss Big Twelve champion and they've eaten beaten Alabama in

560
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: Alabama earlier in the year. Coming up, we continue with

561
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: the college football playoff debacle. Who controls your own Destiny?

576
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: All right? Who holds their own destiny? In this Made

577
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: for TV Invitational tournament? Thanks to Michigan beating Ohio State

578
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: and UH Alabama advancing uh winning in well, Georgia, if

579
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: they beat Alabama, they are in. No one can dispute

580
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: that they hold their own destiny. It's presumed Alabama's in

581
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: if they win at one loss. I don't think you

582
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: leave out a one loss SEC champion, do you.

583
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 5: Uh.

584
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: Michigan they're in if they beat Iowa. Washington has already

585
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: beaten Oregon. But I actually believe Oregon would have been in.

586
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: Had they beaten Washington, they would have jumped. They'd have

587
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: gone from five probably to three, taken Washington spot. Now,

588
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: some we're gonna argue Florida State should be discredited for

589
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: being a less opposing contender if they don't have Jordan Travis,

590
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: But there are also plenty of people that say, man,

591
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: you just can't do that. If they beat Louisville, who's

592
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: a two to ten team, and they're gonna pose a

593
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: good challenge, mark my words, that's gonna be a really

594
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: good football game, then they'd be thirteen to zero. Folksfield,

595
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: Florida State deserves to be in. So maybe blah blah blah,

596
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: Georgia wins, Michigan wins, Washington's already run one, and Florida

597
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: State wins, you'd have four undefeated teams. I don't think

598
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: the committee tempts fate. I just think they go with it.

599
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: Most likely. Who knows what the hell they're gonna do,

600
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 2: But this has never happened. There's never been a fourteen,

601
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 2: you know, final the final four and they were all undefeated.

602
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: Never happened. Who could use help? Well, Texas, they're eleven

603
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: and one, and I don't know. I talked to a

604
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: lot of people who disagree with me, but I grab

605
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: when it got to fifteen points. Texas is laying fifteen

606
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 2: points against Oklahoma State. It opened up at eleven eleven

607
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: and a half. I like Mike Gundy in a underdog

608
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: role like this, and people saw how they stunk it

609
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: up against BYU for a half last week. But this

610
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: is what Oklahoma State does. They played down to the competition,

611
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: and they play up to the competition. I think they're

612
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: going to give Texas a battle that's going to be

613
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: a fistfight. I really, I genuinely believe that we shall see.

614
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: But I don't know that Oklahoma State wins outright. So

615
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: Texas gets a w but they have to fight for it.

616
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: They'd be in a nine and three Oklahoma State team,

617
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 2: Texas could move up. I see, I think Texas. Texas

618
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: beat Alabama and Alabama, which I consider to be the

619
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: best win of any school this year. Sure as hell,

620
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 2: not Michigan at Penn State, not Ohio State in Notre Dame,

621
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 2: even not Oregon at Washington or check that they didn't

622
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,959
Speaker 2: win at Washington. So you get my drift. Who else

623
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: needs chaos? Well, Alabama, they're eleven in one. Yes, they

624
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 2: could ply a ton of their own chaos by beating Georgia.

625
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: But see, here's what you don't know. Would that be

626
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: enough to jump Texas? If Texas is eleven and one

627
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: and Bama's eleven and one, Yeah, they're both conference champions.

628
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 2: But Texas beat Bama in Tuscaloosa. That doesn't happen Texas

629
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: did it? Texas all also has I think maybe the

630
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: best front seven in college football, and I suppose I

631
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 2: hate to I hate to say this. I don't want

632
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: to insult anybody's intelligence. I guess you can't entirely completely

633
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 2: eliminate the buck Eyes their idle Saturday, but you know,

634
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: but you know they lost it Michigan Saturday. They turn

635
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: the ball over twice, missed the field goal, but actually

636
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: outgained Michigan in an arbor. Right, So what would happened

637
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: if Michigan lost and Georgia lost, and Florida State lost

638
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 2: and Texas lost. That's a lot of losing, right. I wouldn't.

639
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't count on it. I just I

640
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: think oh Ohio State will be looking at other other

641
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 2: bowl games and coming up at the top of the hour,

642
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,959
Speaker 2: we're going to start to dive into some of these

643
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: matchups and give you what my thoughts are. But one

644
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 2: of the things that I think that I must find

645
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: interesting is that there might only not only be drama

646
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: on the field, but there could be drama on the

647
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: field after the game. What do I mean by that.

648
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: Let's say Michigan beats Iowa Saturday night, eight pm Eastern. Well,

649
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: it's highly likely that the commissioner of the Big Ten,

650
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 2: Tony Battiti, will be on the stage handing the trophy

651
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: to a guy by the name of Jim Harbaugh, who

652
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: he controversially suspended for the final three games of the

653
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: regular season. Irrespective of whether Harbaugh deserved it or not,

654
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: he saw how Michigan fans lost their mind. So those

655
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: would that be two peas in a pod. Pettiti would

656
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: have to exchange pleasantries also with Michigan athletic director Ward Manual,

657
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 2: who fired off a student protest statement when the punishment

658
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 2: was handed down. Believe me, if that happens, I will

659
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: want to watch that live. I don't think any single

660
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 2: human being in the sport will be booed as hard

661
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: as Petiti by the Michigan fans Saturday night if the

662
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 2: Wolverines win and he has to hand the trophy over

663
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 2: to Jim Harbaugh and or Ward Manual. And make no mistake,

664
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 2: I think Michigan. I really think Michigan's gonna win. And

665
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 2: just in case Iowa wins, I'll give him a five

666
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 2: percent chance, and that might be high. You're still not

667
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: gonna see a whole hell of a lot of podium

668
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: hugs between Iowa. Was ad Beth Getz in the Ferentz family.

669
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: Why Well gets forced Kurt Ferentz. He forced him to

670
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: fire his son and his ineffective coordinator, I guess Brian

671
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: in late October, but allowed him to finish coaching the season.

672
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: In response to that pink slip and a kind of

673
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: a weird goodbye Brian Ferents. You probably don't watch a

674
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: lot of Iowa games, and I don't really blame you.

675
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: He's coaching on the sidelines. He stopped wearing Iowa gear

676
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: during the games, and somehow if that's some sort of

677
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: personal protest as he continues to oversee the worst offense

678
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: in the country. You know that the over under on

679
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 2: Iowa's point total Saturday, it's seven and a half. It's

680
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: two and a half in the first half, which kills

681
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: the safety, so they can get a safety. But you

682
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: wouldn't go over right now. I understand that the athletic

683
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: director gets could be well within the rights to tell

684
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 2: Brian Ferentz, we don't need your services anymore after this year,

685
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: but I'll let you stay the rest of the year.

686
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: But you knows, the kid pete without some consequences. This

687
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: feels to me on a like a twenty eight to

688
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: nothing game. I don't you know, Michigan beat him two

689
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: years ago forty two to three, but that was a

690
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 2: much better Michigan offense, and the Iowa defense isn't bad.

691
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: So anyway, there's your Jim Harbaugh Theater, your Tony Pettiti Ward,

692
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 2: Manual Beth Getz Brian Farentz. Yep, there could be drama

693
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 2: on the field after the game, not just during the game.

694
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: Coming up, Let's dive into some of these matchups a

695
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: little more fervidly and we'll bring in the crew as well.

696

704
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: I do believe the committee will breathe them andrew sire

705
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: relief if Louisville beats Florida State as well a couple

706
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: of other teams vying to get in. So we'll start there,

707
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 2: not bringing the crew in. A second. Let me set

708
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: this up. Louisville's ten and two they very much thrived

709
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 2: in their very first season after under their new coach,

710
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: Jeff brom Brom. As you recall, led Purdue to the

711
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: Big Ten title game last year, and believe it or not,

712
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 2: they actually out of Gain Michigan. They got the stuffing

713
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: kicked out of him, but they got there. And now

714
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 2: he's done the same. Brom's done the same in his

715
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:40,479
Speaker 2: first season at Louisville, which coincidentally is his alma mater.

716
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: Louisville started out six to zero and they beat Notre Dame.

717
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: Then they dropped an ugly one on the road to Pitt.

718
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: From there, they won their next four. They clinched the

719
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: spot in the SEC title game. They beat Miami in

720
00:41:54,840 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 2: an impressive road win, and they were already in to

721
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: be an ACC in the a SEC Championship game until

722
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: you know, and then they lost to Kentucky last week,

723
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: which I think took some bloom off the rows and

724
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: cost people to look at him a little differently. So

725
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 2: they have two losses Pitt and Kentucky. Florida State Meanwhile,

726
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: they've had an incredible season. They had a very high

727
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 2: profile win Week one over LSU. They continued to mole

728
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: through ACC play. They didn't blow everybody out, but things

729
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 2: changed the weekend before Thanksgiving when Jordan Travis, or star quarterback,

730
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: he suffers a season in the injury. Against North Alabama,

731
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: of all teams, Florida did complete its undefeated regular season.

732
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 2: I consider to be a very impressive win to go

733
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 2: down to Florida and win in the swamp with Tate

734
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: Rodemaker quarterback. But clearly the ceiling of this team, the

735
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: dynamic nature of this team is much different with Jordan

736
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 2: Travis on the sideline. How do I see this game?

737
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: All right? I'm gonna I think I think we're looking

738
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 2: at it at I'm gonna call it thirty one to

739
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: twenty eight Louisville. I really believe Jeff brom He loves

740
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: a good upset opportunity. He knows that Florida State's vulnerable.

741
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 2: The Cardinals defense has not been great in recent weeks.

742
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 2: In their last three games are giving up six yards

743
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: of play. But I think you're gonna see a different

744
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 2: focused Louisville team, and Jeff Brohm's an excellent coach. In

745
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 2: these situations, we will see if Tate Rodimaker can effectively

746
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 2: move to Florida State offense, and that assumes he plays.

747
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 2: I understand their third string quarterback is a true freshman

748
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: who's only throwing a couple passes all year. But here's

749
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 2: the kicker. If the Louisville offense can take care of

750
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 2: the ball and not turn it over, they're gonna move

751
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: the ball. The Cardinals are ten to zero when they

752
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 2: don't turn it over, or actually when they turn it

753
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: over less than twice a game. And oh and two

754
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 2: they only, by the way, and they're both are losses.

755
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 2: They turned the ball over three times. Now, if this happens,

756
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: a mass sigh of relief, you know, spreads across college football.

757
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: I know that sounds horrible, but the truth of the

758
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: matter is is there is going to be controversy either way.

759
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: If it is the committee really letting and the four

760
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 2: best teams are the foremost deserving. And you heard me

761
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: read the disclaimers earlier about if key players aren't available

762
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 2: or the composition of the roster changes materially, Well, I'd

763
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: have to say it does. Kevin figures, who do you

764
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: like in this game? What are your thoughts about perhaps

765
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 2: Florida State getting upset and or if they win, do

766
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: you put them in regardless?

767
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'll handle the back endo that first. If they win,

768
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: I'll put them in.

769
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 7: You can have an undefeated Power five conference champion not

770
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 7: making to the playoff. I understand, you know, the idea

771
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 7: of look, if you are they the worst of all

772
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 7: the teams that are involved in this matchup, absolutely I

773
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 7: get it, they wouldn't be the most compelling. But based

774
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 7: on how the rules are set up, you can't justify

775
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 7: leaving out a Power five conference champion out of the playoffs.

776
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 1: So that that addresses that. Now, do I think they'll win?

777
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 7: I don't, and I think a big reason why whether

778
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 7: Rodenmaker players or not. If he doesn't play, I absolutely

779
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 7: love Louisville. But even if he does, you know, the

780
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 7: biggest weekends for Louisville as their secondary being able to

781
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 7: pick them apart. And one of the biggest strengths for

782
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 7: Florida State throughout the season has been their passing attack

783
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 7: with two studs at wide receiver. But if you have

784
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 7: inexperience at the quarterback position, you know, are you really

785
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 7: going to trust one of these guys to drive back

786
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 7: and throw the ball thirty three thirty four times against Louisville?

787
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 7: I'm not so sure. And you know, people talk, you know,

788
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 7: you talk about the loss to Pitt, you know, earlier

789
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 7: in the year, and that being a bit of a blimish.

790
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 7: I think a team like Louisville that didn't really have

791
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 7: a lot of expectation coming into the season were victimized

792
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 7: by that being a trap game. They had a big

793
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 7: victory against Notre Dame the week before, and they had

794
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,479
Speaker 7: a Duke team come in and they beat the breaks

795
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 7: off of them that next week in Duke. At the time,

796
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 7: I think was raked in the top fifteen, so I

797
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 7: think they were kind of looking ahead to that next matchup.

798
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 7: I think it's a solid Louisville offense. Jawar Jordan's one

799
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 7: of the more underrated running backs in the entire conference,

800
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 7: maybe even the country, and I think they can get

801
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 7: that running game going until your point, if Plumber doesn't

802
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 7: turn the ball over, you know, Louisville has a great

803
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 7: chance to win of the game, and I think they will.

804
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 2: Well, they have, that's been their m this year. They're

805
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 2: ten to zer when they turn the ball over less

806
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 2: than twice, and both their losses they turn over three times.

807
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: But before I go to Shay, I want to piggyback

808
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: on a point you've made, because they've never left an

809
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: undefeated conference champion out. But do we have extenuating circumstances here,

810
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 2: because it's difficult as this sounds, and is as much

811
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: of a gut punch as it could be. If it

812
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 2: ends up being Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and Florida State with

813
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 2: their second or third string quarterback, they're going to be

814
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 2: a double digit underdog, and I think the committee is

815
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: trying to avoid that. Would Florida State in their current

816
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: condition really beat Texas or Alabama? No? Absolutely not so,

817
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 2: irrespective of how painful it might be. Do you take

818
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: the committee at their word that they that they're that

819
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: they're charter is to put the four best teams in?

820
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's supposed to be. It's the And see, here's

821
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: the thing.

822
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 7: There's two different questions at play here, because there's the

823
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 7: team that offers the best opportunity for a quality matchup

824
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 7: and a chance to win versus the most deserving. So

825
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 7: is it do you want to put in a team

826
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 7: that has a greater chance of being successful, whether that's

827
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 7: a Georgia or Alabama depending on who wins the you

828
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 7: know the sec you know, Ohio State if they're a

829
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 7: factor in this this mix, or Texas versus a team

830
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 7: like Florida State. He would say based on just record

831
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 7: and merit, which is really the only differentiating factor, and

832
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 7: you're undefeated, you know it will be the most deserving

833
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 7: because they haven't lost the game.

834
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: So that's really a really tough metric.

835
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 7: So look, I would certainly understand the justification for leaving

836
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 7: Florida State out because you would say, what having a

837
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 7: backup quarterback, whether it's Rodimaker or the third stringer, they

838
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 7: just don't have a legitimate shot at beating the top seed.

839
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 7: I certainly understand that it's just very difficult to justify

840
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 7: having an undefeated team not making into the playoff.

841
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: That's difficult.

842
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 2: It's difficult, but you in a sense give the rational

843
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 2: ractionalization because without Jordan Travis they don't have a chance.

844
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 2: I don't think they have a chance to get to

845
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 2: any of the other top three teams. But let's set

846
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 2: that aside for now, because Florida State still has to win. Shaye,

847
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on this dilemma?

848
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 8: No, well, go ahead, I primarily agree with you guys. No, definitely, like,

849
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 8: because they're number one quarterback, who I think still is

850
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 8: in the running for the Heisman, which is crazy to me. Like,

851
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 8: without him, I really don't think they can even get in.

852
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, they should be in the College playoffs,

853
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 8: but I don't think that they should. Like the twelve

854
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 8: and zero, it looks amazing, but the he's the main

855
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 8: reason I feel like they are where they are. I

856
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 8: mean they're rush des Yeah, I don't even think they're

857
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 8: like rush defense is top forty. I think they're like

858
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 8: forty five or something like that. I was just looking

859
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 8: at it the other day because when he was just

860
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 8: saying Juan Jordan, I think he's number two in the

861
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 8: AEC with rushing yards or something. I think he's just

862
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 8: number two in the AEC just rushing all overall. So

863
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 8: with Louisville coming in, I really don't think they're gonna win,

864
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 8: Like I think Florida State's going to lose this game,

865
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 8: especially because I'm pretty sure Louisville outscores their opponents in

866
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 8: the first quarter like ninety one to like fourteen or

867
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 8: something like something absurd like that. And if they come

868
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 8: out strong and Juar Jordan's able to keep going, I

869
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 8: really think Louisville is going to lose. And I think

870
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 8: it's not going to be a very fair game either,

871
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 8: I think, I mean Louisville's gonna win.

872
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 9: I don't.

873
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 8: I really don't think Florida State really will come out

874
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 8: too hard. I mean, last week also against their rival,

875
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 8: they weren't doing too hot either, So just looking at

876
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 8: all that and then also on top of it with

877
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 8: Jordan Travis just completely gone, I really don't think they'll

878
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 8: be able to come out with a win.

879
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 2: I do give them credit for what they did last

880
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: week in the swamp in Florida. Florida is not a

881
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: great team, but that's still an extremely difficult place to play,

882
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 2: and they did enough to win. The question is now

883
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 2: that roddamakers on film and he would have been the

884
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 2: air apparent next year anyway, is what does Jeff Brom

885
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: do it that Brom's very created or let's flip to

886
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State Texas because obviously texas Is fortunes hang in

887
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 2: the balance as well. They're headed to the SEC next year.

888
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: They're looking to win their first Big twelve for the

889
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 2: first time since twenty oh nine, I think the Longhorn season.

890
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: Their signature win was the huge road win at Alabama

891
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 2: week two, and then they overcame their loss to Oklahoma

892
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 2: to reach the conference title game. They're eleven and one.

893
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 2: They can't Texas can't have a second loss. And I

894
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 2: think you know they survived when you weres being hurt.

895
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 2: They're three and oho since his return. They put up

896
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 2: fifty seven last week against Texas Tech. They seem to

897
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 2: be at the top of their game. But I think

898
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,760
Speaker 2: Mike Gundy is very sneaky. I think he's beaten Texas

899
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 2: like ten of the last eleven times. And even though

900
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 2: they started out two and two and they got beat

901
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: it home to South Alabama thirty three to seven, they

902
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 2: lost them home to I think Central Florida. They're not

903
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 2: great at quarterback with Alan Bowman, but you are seeing

904
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: the emergence of maybe the best running back in the country.

905
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 2: Ali Gordon. Only got like nineteen carries his first three weeks,

906
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 2: but he nowly leads the nation touchdown sixteen hundred yards.

907
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State is really dangerous in this situation. I really

908
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 2: believe that it's one of those one off games where

909
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 2: if Texas isn't careful, they could find themselves in a

910
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 2: fistfight in the phone booth in the fourth quarter. Do

911
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 2: I think Texas prevails, Yes, I think they're probably prevailed

912
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 2: by seven to ten points. But I'm not gonna rule out.

913
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna rule out that Texas could get beat here.

914
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 2: I don't give them a great chance Oklahoma State, but

915
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 2: I grab the fifteen points. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

916
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 2: To me there's real value there getting North of giving

917
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: Mike Gundy north of two touchdowns on a neutral field.

918
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 2: But let's go back to the earlier discussion. For purposes

919
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 2: of this, let's assume Texas wins. You've got a one

920
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 2: loss Big twelve champion. We've already agreed. Well, we didn't

921
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: agree that Florida State would win. But if Florida State

922
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: wins Bama or Georgia when it doesn't matter, I think

923
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: Michigan and Washington will be in. What the hell do

924
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 2: you do with Texas? Kevin?

925
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 7: Well, look, I mean if everything that you just mentioned holds,

926
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 7: I don't think Texas makes the cut.

927
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: Now.

928
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 7: The only the interesting thing is if Alabama finds a

929
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 7: way to beat Georgia. This is where the Alabama Texas

930
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 7: discussion comes in and where Nick Saban was lobbying for

931
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 7: an SEC team to make the cut and say there's

932
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 7: no way you can leave the SEC out and it's well,

933
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 7: look if Alabama wins the SEC. But Texas beat Alabama

934
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 7: at their home field earlier this season. You know the

935
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 7: you know, the biggest metric, the most objective metric that

936
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 7: we have is head to head and that's what we

937
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 7: have at this point in time. I would think, so

938
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 7: it should I mean it should be.

939
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. So Texas had would have beaten Alabama.

940
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how you leave them out. You got

941
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: two one lost conference champions. But then you got a

942
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 2: situation where people are gonna scream that Georgia should be

943
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 2: in there as well. So if it comes down to

944
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 2: Texas and or Alabama, who do you take Texas or Alabama? Oh?

945
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: I take Texas. I don't have to think twice about it.

946
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,720
Speaker 7: The one objectifiable metric that we have is at Texas

947
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 7: defeated Alabama, and the extra point or extra feather in

948
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,919
Speaker 7: their cap is they did it in Tuscaloosa.

949
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: There were no major injuries.

950
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 7: Every single key principal player that's playing now was playing then,

951
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 7: which is I know something that the committee takes into account.

952
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 7: Players are injured, and they weren't. Nick Sateen trying to

953
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 7: say like, well, we're playing better towards the end of

954
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 7: the season. Great you are and congratulations, but you have

955
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 7: the same record as Texas. Texas beat you head to

956
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 7: head on your home field, done over, no discussion to

957
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 7: be out.

958
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 2: So I'm not disavowing your rationale you want to see

959
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 2: a poopstorm because you're not wrong with you lay your

960
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: case out with deductive reasoning. In that case, you'd have

961
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 2: to leave Georgia out. And can you imagine your ful

962
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: with no SEC teams in the final four with a

963
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 2: one lost Georgia and a one lost Bama, but perhaps

964
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 2: the Florida State sneaks in and then you got Texas, Michigan,

965
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 2: and Washington. Can you imagine hold that thought? Shay your

966
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 2: thoughts on a one lost Texas versus a one loss Alabama.

967
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 9: No, I'd have to agree with Kevin here.

968
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 8: I mean, it's all about the head to head and

969
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 8: especially when Alabama's home, like, come on, they had no injuries.

970
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 8: It has to be Texas if you're looking at it

971
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 8: from a logical point of view. If you're looking at

972
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 8: it from just I mean, I don't know if you

973
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 8: just want an SEC team to be in there, I

974
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 8: feel like, yeah, that's.

975
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: Why I call it to mate for TV Invitational tournament exactly,

976
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 2: so they're going to put who the hell they want

977
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 2: in that.

978
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 8: But I think it's too close, I think, especially because

979
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 8: people are looking at the college playoff more than they

980
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 8: ever have, especially because I mean Pac twelve, I've never

981
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 8: seen more Pac twelve fans so closely look at the

982
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 8: college playoff. So it's almost as if if they do

983
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 8: do that, I feel like they get more hate than

984
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 8: they would if they were to put Alabama in just

985
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 8: to put an SEC in.

986
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 9: So to be honest, I think they're going to do

987
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 9: the smart thing.

988
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 8: Hopefully, if this was to happen, in this scenario happens,

989
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 8: Texas is one hundred percent going to be in it

990
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 8: in my opinion, But you never know.

991
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,479
Speaker 9: It's I mean, Hollywood, come on.

992
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 2: It is Hollywood. I agree with you. And so we'll

993
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 2: save this for a little bit later because it is

994
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 2: coming back. We're going to talk about Alabama Georgia. But

995
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 2: then what ultimately leads to is the inevitable qualitative discussion

996
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: is what do you think will happen versus what should happen?

997
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 2: Based on head to head, based on conference championships, based

998
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 2: on undefeated teams, what do you think they'll end up

999
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 2: doing versus what we think should happen based on our

1000
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 2: own moral compass. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to live

1012
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 2: to the game, let's do it backwards this time. Kevin,

1013
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 2: who wins tomorrow? Georgia or Alabama?

1014
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 7: I think Georgia wins as well as Jayala Milroe is playing.

1015
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 7: I think this Georgia defense is something special, and they've

1016
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 7: kind of hit their stride the last month, month and

1017
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 7: a half or so. I know they still going to

1018
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,479
Speaker 7: get off the slow starts, but neither here nor therek

1019
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 7: Carson Beck, I think is playing a lot better and

1020
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 7: doesn't get a lot of love just because you know,

1021
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 7: Georgia gets talked about about their defense and Kirby smart

1022
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 7: and all that, but he's playing a lot better. So

1023
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 7: I actually like Georgia to win this one. I think

1024
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 7: the spread is five. I think I like it. Alf Yeah,

1025
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 7: I think I like Georgia by about a touchdown.

1026
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 2: Fair Shay Georgia or Alabama.

1027
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 8: So yeah, Georgie's never won in this scenario, but I

1028
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 8: think they beat the odds and then they do it.

1029
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 8: I really think it's this is Georgia's ear to get

1030
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 8: that that thing off their back, and uh, I think

1031
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 8: they'll win. Kevin basically took it out of my mouth,

1032
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 8: but no, yeah, I mean I still find I like

1033
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 8: when someone told me that stat that Georgia had never

1034
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 8: won like at their at their house, and then also

1035
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 8: in the scenario they're in, I was like, Oh, there's

1036
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 8: no way, there's no way, especially with the history that

1037
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 8: these two teams have. But when I looked into it,

1038
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, wow, this is this is real.

1039
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 8: But no, I think I think Georgia comes out and

1040
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 8: they they finally break the curse.

1041
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bama, Look they don't. They don't have Tua, they

1042
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 2: don't have Jalen Hurts, they don't have Bryce Young. I think,

1043
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 2: uh Jalen Milroe has progressed. He's been more than serviceable.

1044
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: He's made plenty of big plays. Bama's heavily going to

1045
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 2: rely on their defense. Georgia will rely on their offense.

1046
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 2: Bama's defense is very good. Georgia's defense is slightly down.

1047
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 2: These are relative terms, but their offense is very good.

1048
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 2: Bama's offense is athletic, but they're not like they've been

1049
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 2: in the past. But Bama has won ten consecutive games

1050
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 2: since he lost to Texas at home back in Week two.

1051
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 2: They've had a few close calls, especially last week against Auburn.

1052
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 2: And someone who's been around Nick Sabe, and he's concerned,

1053
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: he said, going off the field, he says, you know what, Yeah,

1054
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 2: we practice that play, but we didn't play well today

1055
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 2: and somehow we escape with a win. And sometimes when

1056
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 2: that happens, the chickens come home to roost the following week.

1057
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: You saw what happened versus Auburn and the Iron Bowl

1058
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 2: and that game winning touchdown pass on fourth and goal

1059
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 2: from the thirty one yard line after the muffed punt

1060
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 2: after Jalen Milroe ran across the line of scrimmage and

1061
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 2: came back like it was some video game. You know,

1062
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 2: he's done that four times this year. But look, Alabama

1063
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,919
Speaker 2: deserves to be where they are. You don't just fall

1064
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 2: out of bed and end up in the SEC Championship game. Meanwhile, Georgia,

1065
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 2: the record speaks for themselves. They've won twenty nine consecutive games.

1066
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: They wrapped up their third consecutive twelve to zero season

1067
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 2: the Hammer Georgia Tech Saturday. The Bulldogs haven't lost since

1068
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 2: falling to Alabama on the SEC title game in twenty

1069
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: twenty one. Oh nothing, They went on to win the

1070
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 2: national championship that year. Okay, they went on to win

1071
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 2: the national Championship over Alabama and another national title last year.

1072
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: So George is trying to make it three in a

1073
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: row and trying to win thirty in a row, make

1074
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 2: thirty consecutive victories on the way to another playoff. So look,

1075
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 2: the SEC has led. It typically leads all of college

1076
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 2: football and soap opera drama and for a long time,

1077
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 2: but at top to bottom. It's the best conference in

1078
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 2: the country. I think the PAC twelve a second, the

1079
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 2: Big twelve and the Big ten fourth. That's just the

1080
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 2: way I see it. Sometimes you know it. You're not

1081
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 2: going to see the kind of drama in this game

1082
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 2: like I talked about with Iowa and Michigan and some

1083
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 2: of the Michigans that's going on there. Where you will

1084
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 2: see drama is if Alabama upsets Georgia and either one

1085
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 2: of them has left out. If Bama's left out Ian

1086
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 2: or Georgia's left out. Of course, the SEC could end

1087
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 2: up with two people play two teams in the playoff.

1088
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 2: If Alabama upsets Georgia and things break right elsewhere, right

1089
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: like Texas losing, Florida State losing, you get the drift.

1090
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 2: See what happens. I know Greg sank He's gonna lobby

1091
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 2: any way, But look, the SEC has won five of

1092
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 2: the last six champions championships. I'm with Kevin. I think

1093
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 2: it's a twenty eight to twenty one Georgia type game.

1094
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 2: This says a lot of the same elements of the

1095
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one SEC title meeting. But the Tide they're

1096
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 2: kind of wobbling in, They're kind of limping into this game.

1097
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,959
Speaker 2: They had a near death experience against Auburn last week

1098
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 2: and decided the underdog Auburn team Hugh Freeze in his

1099
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 2: first year, somehow their quarterback. You know, they decided to

1100
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 2: rush two drop nine. What a disaster to lose a

1101
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 2: game that way. That had to just kill those people.

1102
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,959
Speaker 2: And you know I have talkalked about that. I believe

1103
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 2: the Hot State Michigan is the greatest rivalry in all

1104
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 2: of sports. I it started as a land war. Well,

1105
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 2: I'm telling you the Iron bulls crazier than life or

1106
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 2: death as well. But the reason Georgia got shocked a

1107
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:17,919
Speaker 2: couple of years ago is because there was an all

1108
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 2: world performance by Bryce Young. I don't think history is

1109
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 2: going to repeat itself. With all due respect, Jalen Milroe

1110
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 2: is not Bryce Young. Jalen Milroe would not win the

1111
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy even though he has absolutely been clutch when

1112
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 2: he's needed to be. And Georgia twenty three is not

1113
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 2: as good as Georgia twenty one, But Alabama twenty three

1114
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 2: is not as good as Alabama twenty one. If you

1115
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 2: followed all that, it seems like we end up with

1116
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 2: a Georgia victory. We're not going to waste our time

1117
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 2: on Iowa Michigan guys. Coming back after Kevin's update, I

1118
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 2: want to get your guys predictions, not on what you

1119
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 2: think should happen, but what the commit is going to do,

1120
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,479
Speaker 2: what you think the committee is going to do. First,

1121
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 2: let's go back to our guy, Kevin figures with least.

1122
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 7: I will say, Bernie, I think I might take the

1123
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 7: under on the total points scored in the first half

1124
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 7: for Iowa, which I think is set at a half point.

1125
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 7: So I think I might go for that at least

1126
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 7: as a Friday morning, that's what's actually.

1127
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 2: Two and a half because they could get a safety, right,

1128
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: that's not a good So then you would you would

1129
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 2: need more than a safety. You could get two points

1130
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 2: and still go under. Go ahead.

1131
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 7: Oh, that's a tough one. We'll start with the Pack

1132
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 7: twelve championship. On Friday night, Washington headed to the college

1133
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 7: football playoff. We know that for sure. They pick up

1134
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 7: a thirty four to thirty one victory over Oregon, completely

1135
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,439
Speaker 7: the undefeated campaign at thirteen and oh, Michael Pitnick's winning

1136
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 7: the game MVP honors three hundred and nineteen yards passing

1137
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 7: and a touchdown. How about four hundred and eighty four

1138
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 7: total yards for a Liberty quarterback Cayden Salter forty nine

1139
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 7: to thirty five was the final as they beat in

1161
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 2: this time. Set your opinion aside, set your rationale aside.

1162
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 2: Who does the committee select this the final four ward?

1163
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 2: We wake up Sunday morning on the West Coast at

1164
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 2: nine am and watch the Made for TV Invitational tournament.

1165
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 9: So we know Michigan and Washington.

1166
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 8: I think those two are for sure in just because

1167
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 8: I'm assuming Michigan wins.

1168
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, no argument.

1169
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 8: Georgia, that's I feel like that's even if with a

1170
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 8: loss to Alabama, I think they have a chance. So Georgia,

1171
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 8: then I would probably. This is where it kind of

1172
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 8: gets tough because then you got Texas, Alabama, Florida State.

1173
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 9: I think Florida's I don't think Florida State is gonna win.

1174
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 2: So I don't think Alabama loses. They're not going to

1175
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 2: put a two loss team in.

1176
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, definitely. Yeah, So there, so they're a Texas

1177
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 9: is going to win.

1178
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm assuming Texas is gonna win, so digit favorite, right, yeah,

1179
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 8: So Texas is in. So that's that's four teams right there,

1180
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 8: and then all that would leave is the Florida State Louisville.

1181
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 8: And I think Louisville is gonna win that game, and

1182
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 8: I really don't think Florida State would get in, so

1183
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 8: at that point it would be Ohio State.

1184
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 2: I agree. Do you think the committee is going to

1185
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 2: take Ohio State? All right, let's come back to you

1186
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 2: in a second, Kevin. Uh Who's who's the committee going

1187
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 2: to put in? So?

1188
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 7: I so I believe Georgia b Telabama's Obama's out, Washington

1189
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 7: we know is already in. Michigan's gonna be Iowa. They're in,

1190
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 7: uh so at that point in time. And I also

1191
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 7: believe that Florida State is going to lose to Louisville,

1192
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 7: like we talked about earlier. So for me, that s

1193
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 7: lots of Texas in at number four. So I have Georgia, Washington,

1194
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 7: Michigan in Texas.

1195
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 2: I actually think we're in agreement. Let's give Shay. So,

1196
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 2: George Shay, you you've got Georgia, Michigan, Washington, right, who's

1197
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 2: your fourth?

1198
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 6: Not not?

1199
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: Who's your fourth who do you think?

1200
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 9: Who do you think who have to be Texas at

1201
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 9: that point?

1202
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 2: Okay, in your rationale, you're not.

1203
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 9: I guess it's not my rationale.

1204
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 2: It's more of their rational No, no, no, you're rationale

1205
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 2: for having that opinion. And that's what the committee will do.

1206
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, it's basically what it.

1207
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 8: I can't even think like the committee because I never

1208
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 8: agree with the Committee, to be honest, And it's yeah.

1209
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 2: But you've seen their patterns over the years, definitely.

1210
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 8: That's why I say Ohio State because it's such like

1211
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 8: a I don't know, it's just such a move like

1212
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 8: the Committee would do.

1213
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1214
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 8: It's like but with a Texas win, like you would

1215
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 8: have to put them in there, like there is no

1216
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 8: like you just would have to, Like there's there's no

1217
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 8: other rationale to it, to be honest. It's like if

1218
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 8: with the way we've gone, Michigan in there, Washington with

1219
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 8: Florida out, and then with Georgia in there, and with

1220
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 8: Alabama being a two loss team, it really would not

1221
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 8: make sense for any of these other teams to get

1222
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 8: and especially with Oregon with two losses.

1223
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, it would have to be. It would have to

1224
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 9: be Texas well.

1225
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be Texas. Also, I think

1226
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 2: it's going to be Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and Texas in

1227
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 2: that order. I actually think that the committee will swallow

1228
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 2: hard and they will admit Florida State in much the

1229
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 2: same way they omitted TCU back in twenty fourteen, and

1230
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 2: they put in a one loss Ohio State team even

1231
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 2: though that one loss Ohio State team had got beaten

1232
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 2: by two touchdowns against un rank virgin Virginia Tech.

1233
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: TCU.

1234
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 2: Yes, they had one loss that year, but they it

1235
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 2: was three points. They lost by three at Baylor. So again,

1236
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 2: why do I think the committee will do that. They're

1237
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 2: gonna take heat no matter what they do. It took

1238
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,439
Speaker 2: all kinds of heat from Nick Saban last year because

1239
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 2: he thought he should have been in even though two

1240
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 2: loss teams never get in. So you've got your obligatory

1241
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 2: SEC team in Georgia, which deserves to be there. Michigan,

1242
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 2: they will have run the table. They're your undefeated Big

1243
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 2: ten chant certainly deserve to be there. And then washing

1244
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 2: your undefeated PAC twelve champ who beat Oregon twice in

1245
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 2: Oregon's a team I think could beat Michigan. So there's

1246
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 2: your top three. That's not debatable. Bama will have had

1247
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 2: their second loss. Texas will be a conference champion, albeit

1248
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 2: a one loss conference champion, but they will have beaten

1249
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 2: Alabama in Alabama. What's Florida State's best victory. I'd have

1250
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 2: to say early on in the year against LSU. But

1251
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: I talked to people in Vegas. They would have played

1252
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 2: LSU last week. They would have been an underdog. So

1253
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 2: I actually think it's going to be what the committee's

1254
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 2: all said and done. It's going to be Georgia, Michigan, Washington,

1255
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:45,560
Speaker 2: and Texas. And I don't think anybody can disagree that

1256
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 2: those are the four best teams. Kevin, you put Texas

1257
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 2: in Florida State on neutral field, who's the better team

1258
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 2: right now?

1259
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 7: Texas easily would, and honestly, even if Jordan Travers were healthy,

1260
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 7: I still might take Texas.

1261
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 4: Well.

1262
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,560
Speaker 2: Say, let's hear your let's hear your thoughts that we

1263
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 2: got to deal with the here and now Florida State

1264
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 2: does not have Jordan Traps and by the way, the

1265
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 2: twelve team playoff can't get here found in next year.

1266
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 2: This was the year to do it. My god, Oh

1267
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:16,640
Speaker 2: my goodness. So, uh, Shay, let's go back to you.

1268
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:20,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to put words in your mouth. Is

1269
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 2: your fourth team Texas meaning you're for junking? Yeah?

1270
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 8: No, yeah, the fourth team. I mean, I just I

1271
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 8: don't know. I feel like they'll slip Ohio State in there.

1272
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 8: I don't know why, but like it's I mean, one

1273
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 8: loss to Michigan. Yeah, it's horrible, but Michigan, you're.

1274
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 2: Not a conference champ. Yeah, as long as you take

1275
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 2: a non conference champ over a conference champ who's undefeated

1276
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 2: and a one lost conference.

1277
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 1: Champions also do that. Yeah, Texas is also a blue blood.

1278
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 7: This isn't no disrespect to Baylor or a TCU, but

1279
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 7: you would not take Ohio State over Texas.

1280
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Texas is also a blue blood program who won a conference.

1281
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ohio State's best victory is maybe that Notre Dame

1282
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 2: or home against Penn State, who plays well enough against

1283
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 2: everybody else. Uh, but not you know, Michigan or Ohio State.

1284
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 2: So you got I think Ohio State is done? Yeah? Seriously, Well,

1285
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 2: unless Texas loses, Florida State loses, Washington already lost too,

1286
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 2: they would have needed Oregon to win, right.

1287
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 7: Even if Michigan loses, Michigan beat Ohio State had to

1288
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 7: hit they wouldn't put Ohio State, right, I don't.

1289
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 8: I don't think it's Michigan. Let's say that this Texas

1290
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 8: loss happens then, and then an Alabama loss happens as well.

1291
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 2: Well, then I think you got to take Florida State.

1292
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 2: They are a conference champion and they're undefeated. Ohio State's

1293
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 2: not a conference jam.

1294
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 9: Let's say all three leaders at that point, would you

1295
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 9: put in Ohio State?

1296
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 2: Who's who's all three?

1297
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 8: Florida State and then Texas and then Alabama. Oh boy,

1298
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 8: that's that's a tough one at that point, it would

1299
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 8: have to.

1300
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 2: I think you have to.

1301
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: I think you have left after.

1302
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 2: That if all three of those lose.

1303
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 8: If Texas, which is such a horrible that's not gonna happen, probably,

1304
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 8: But like let's say, if it's like if we're gonna

1305
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 8: we're talking like this, let's let's do this, like I

1306
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:56,599
Speaker 8: feel like it is that the only way Ohio State,

1307
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 8: Ohio State, it's.

1308
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 2: The only way. It's the only because you've got Georgia

1309
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 2: as an undefeated conference champion. Michigan.

1310
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 8: Oh no, you're saying if Alabama was to lose, if

1311
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 8: Florida State was to lose, and if Texas was to lose.

1312
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so our first three are still solid Michigan, Washington,

1313
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 2: right and Georgia. And Georgia are all conference champions who

1314
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 2: are undefeated. That leaves that fourth spot Texas would have

1315
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 2: had your second loss, Michigan or checked that Texas. Now

1316
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 2: I'm all confused. The bottom line is, you're right. I

1317
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 2: think you'd have to by default, but I just don't

1318
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:39,639
Speaker 2: see that happening.

1319
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,839
Speaker 8: I don't see you've convinced me though, if the Ohio

1320
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 8: State won't get in unless that happens.

1321
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 2: I mean again, they're they're on the list, but they

1322
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 2: need a ton of help.

1323
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that onoint, it would come down to Bernie.

1324
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 7: It would come down to one LASS Florida State and

1325
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 7: one LASS Ohio State, at which point I think they

1326
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,879
Speaker 7: would take Ohio State over Florida State.

1327
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 9: Just because of the injury. Like you think if if

1328
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 9: the QB was still there right.

1329
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 2: Well, and there again, if you put Ohio State, Ohio

1330
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 2: State out gained Michigan. They're only lost is at Michigan,

1331
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 2: who's undefeated. It was currently the number two ranked team.

1332
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 2: It's toald downright if Florida State doesn't win there and

1333
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 2: the I hate to say it, guys, because I think

1334
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 2: the ACC is better conference people get a credit for,

1335
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 2: but it's clearly five out of the Power five.

1336
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: Conferences, so easily I think.

1337
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 2: I think, I think we are projecting that the committee

1338
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 2: will end up with Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and Texas, and frankly,

1339
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 2: that's what I would like to see, and I think

1340
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 2: that's what we'll see and get ready for plenty of

1341
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 2: teeth gnashing, but you know what coming up, Let's have

1342
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 2: a little fun on what the twelve team playoff would

1343
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 2: look right now if they actually would have instituted it

1344
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 2: this year. I'm Bernie Fraddle, come to you live from

1345
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirerac dot com studios.

1346
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here, listening to the Bernie Frattle

1347
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 2: Show on Fox Sports Radio. All or back of the

1348
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Come to live from

1349
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 2: the Tirack dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Have

1350
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 2: a little quick fun here. Georgia's won, Michigan's two, Washington's three,

1351
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 2: Texas is four. If there was a twelve team playoff, Well,

1352
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 2: those four teams would have a buy. Georgia would play

1353
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 2: the winner of Missouri at Alabama. Remember now next year,

1354
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 2: next year, there will be championship games played on college campuses, okay,

1355
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 2: or playoff games played on college campuses in the first round.

1356
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 2: So Georgia would have a buy and they'd play the

1357
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 2: winner of Missouri Alabama. Michigan would wait at home to

1358
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 2: play the winner of Penn State, Texas Washington ranked third, well,

1359
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 2: they would wait at home to play the winner of

1360
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 2: Old miss Ohio State, and finally, your number four ranked team, Texas,

1361
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 2: they would be waiting to play Tulane at Oregon. Interesting.

1362
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 2: So let's say Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, and Texas all advanced.

1363
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 2: You'd have Texas played Michigan. You'd have Ohio State play Washington.

1364
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 2: You'd have Oregon play Texas. You'd have Obama played Georgia.

1365
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 2: Sign me up for that. It can't get here quick

1366
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 2: enough to go out to the phones, Kurt, you want

1367
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 2: to talk a little college playoff football? What are your thoughts?

1368
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 6: Go ahead, I think it's gonna pan out. Georgia is

1369
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 6: gonna get beat by Alabama.

1370
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 2: Why why? Well, it's stop there? Why you gotta tell me.

1371
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 6: Why because Alabama is seven and zero against Georgia.

1372
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't they don't have an NFL quarterback

1373
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 2: under center. Buddy, do you really think Jalen Milroe can

1374
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 2: beat this team?

1375
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 6: Yes, okay, go.

1376
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 2: Ahead, go ahead.

1377
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 6: And and I think it's gonna be really important that

1378
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 6: the tight end from Georgia. I don't think he's top hours.

1379
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 6: He's gonna play, he's gonna play.

1380
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, he's gonna play. He played last week, he

1381
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 2: played last week.

1382
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 6: Well, hopefully he's an honored percent and the.

1383
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 2: Other two lad McConkie and the other two receivers were resting.

1384
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:18,799
Speaker 6: Well, I really do think that Alabama's gonna beat Georgia.

1385
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 6: That's just my opinion.

1386
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 2: Okay, fair, that's fair.

1387
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 6: And I think I think Michigan is in, of course, Okay,

1388
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 6: and Washington has to.

1389
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 10: Get in because they're thirteen at all, so you gotta

1390
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 10: have to be up in Michigan in Washington, you gotta

1391
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 10: put Alabama in if they beat the number one team

1392
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 10: and they're the SEC champion. Fair, Yes, And I think

1393
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 10: Louisville was looking ahead to Florida State. Agreed, Florida State

1394
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 10: doesn't have their starting.

1395
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 2: Quarterback, So who's your number four team.

1396
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 6: Georgia, Michigan, Washingtonton, and Alabama. Those are the four teams

1397
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 6: I think they're gonna en.

1398
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 2: So you would you would take Alabama over Well first

1399
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 2: of all, so you take Georgia over Texas, even though

1400
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 2: Texas beat Alabama and Texas is a conference champion and

1401
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 2: Georgia would not be a conference champion, you would take

1402
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 2: Georgia over Texas.

1403
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 6: I would take Georgia over Texas, And I think Texas

1404
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 6: is going to have a hard time with Oklahoma State

1405
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 6: tomorrow because Oklahoma State is a very physical team and

1406
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 6: I don't think any The only team that I think

1407
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 6: that Texas played this year that was as physical would

1408
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 6: have been Alabama earlier in the year.

1409
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Kurt, and I will tell you this, you

1410
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:48,919
Speaker 2: might not be wrong. We could see Georgia, Alabama, Washington

1411
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 2: and Michigan, and I don't think there'd be some teeth gnashing.

1412
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 2: But if you got two SEC teams, come on, you're

1413
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 2: gonna see some good matchups. I guess they'd make Michigan

1414
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:05,040
Speaker 2: number one, probably Washington number two, Alabama three, and Georgia

1415
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 2: for So you'd have Georgia, Michigan out of the gate

1416
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 2: and Alabama Washington, Kevin, you'd sign it for that, wouldn't you?

1417
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Kurt might be right.

1418
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I don't share his optimism on Alabama,

1419
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna say he's wrong.

1420
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 1: No, that absolutely could happen.

1421
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 2: Sure sure. And and he also brings up another good

1422
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 2: point where you might take Georgia over Texas just because

1423
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 2: this is the stuff the committee does.

1424
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: Just figure him out.

1425
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 2: You'd feel bad for Texas because you're taking a non

1426
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 2: conference championship team versus a one loss conference championship team

1427
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 2: Texas in Big Twelve. But then when you wake up

1428
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 2: on New Year's Day and you see these matchups, you're

1429
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 2: not going to be pissed. I mean, you get over it.

1430
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 2: I think it would be a bummer for the Texas people.

1431
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 2: But man, oh man, oh man, I mean he might

1432
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 2: be onto something there. Shall you got the last word?

1433
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 2: You get about thirty seconds. Would you sign up for

1434
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 2: that for some I.

1435
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 8: Mean yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, if Oklahoma State gives

1436
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 8: them a hard time, gets Texas, we I think I.

1437
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 2: Think he's right. I took the fifteen points. I think

1438
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 2: I like Mike Gundy in this spot. I just do.

1439
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm a spot player. I always have been. I think

1440
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,560
Speaker 2: fifteen points is a bargain, and I didn't mean to

1441
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 2: talk over you there, but I think the key here

1442
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 2: is that if you got you put him in a tumbler.

1443
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 2: You got Georgia, Alabama, Michigan and Washington, you're gonna get

1444
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 2: some damn good matchups on New Year's Day, and then

1445
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 2: two weeks later and you know you might end up

1446
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 2: with Georgia and Alabama playing again. But you probably can't

1447
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 2: argue with that, although we did have that Alabama LSU

1448
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 2: stinker twelve years ago, like that nine nine to seven game.

1449
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 2: So anyway, guys, it's gonna be fun to watch and

1450
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens coming up. Deon Sanders, is he deserving?

1451
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here listening to the Bernie Frattle Show,

1458

Speaker 2: dot com the way tire buying should be just to

1459
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 2: quick aside. This is what I'm trying to avoid. If

1460
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 2: Florida State made it in, they'd be a fourteen hundred

1461
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 2: point underdog to Georgia, thirteen point underdog to Michigan, ten

1462
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 2: point underdog to Alabama. In either Oregon or Washington, it

1463
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 2: would have been a ten point underdog. And if Alabama

1464
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,719
Speaker 2: samon beats Georgia, well I think they'd be a fourteen

1465
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 2: point underdog to Alabama. All right, enough of that for now,

1466
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 2: let the games begin. We are just eight hours away

1467
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 2: from somewhat having this decided on the field. For what

1468
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 2: it's worth, you may have heard of Dion Sanders, but

1469
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 2: you may have never known that he'd never won the

1470
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 2: Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year during his NFL career,

1471
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 2: which was a Hall of Fame career, one of the

1472
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 2: most dynamic forces in the league period, Super Bowl champ

1473
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 2: multiple one year as the head coach of Colorado, though

1474
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 2: Sanders receives Sports Illustrated's highest honor, they announced him as

1475
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three Sportsman of the Year Thursday, becoming

1476
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 2: the first college coach and more than ten years to

1477
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:24,560
Speaker 2: win the award. Now, in terms of pure performance Sanders,

1478
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 2: you can't say his record on the field makes him

1479
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 2: accomplished enough to win the award. Colorado was just four

1480
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 2: and eight, They finished last in the Pac twelve, and

1481
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 2: they closed the regular season with six straight losses. Now,

1482
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 2: they blasted out of the scene. We all know that

1483
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 2: three straight wins a top twenty five appearance, but then

1484
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 2: they kind of limped down to the finish. They kind

1485
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 2: of whimpered to the finish, as it were. But pure

1486
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 2: win loss record really doesn't tell the whole story for

1487
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 2: what Dion Sanders brought the Boulder Colorado, I think above

1488
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 2: all else, and I said this early with Chad Andrews

1489
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 2: clearly deon Sanders. He injected life into a football program

1490
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 2: that's basically spent the last twenty five years. Is an

1491
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 2: also ran. No one talked about Colorado football. There were

1492
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 2: one and eleven and twenty twenty two. They were outscored

1493
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 2: by twenty nine points a game. They were lifeless. They

1494
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 2: were dead on arrival. But then all of a sudden,

1495
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 2: Dion shows up. There are sound bites everywhere, there's photo

1496
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 2: shoots everywhere, and the next you know, they're three to zero,

1497
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 2: and there was no hotter ticket in college football. By

1498
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 2: the way, Colorado what a Fox Sports Big New kickoff

1499
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 2: go other three straight weeks in a row. Colorado apparently

1500
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,600
Speaker 2: generated more than ninety million dollars in media coverage in

1501
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 2: September alone. So even though four wins are fairly well

1502
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 2: below what would have been Dion Sanders' own expectations, five

1503
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 2: of the eight losses came by just one score. Schador

1504
01:21:57,240 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 2: Sanders and Travis Huenter where they give the program two

1505
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:04,560
Speaker 2: foundational stars, became household names, It became fan favorites, and

1506
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 2: people got behind them Colorado in twenty twenty three, they

1507
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 2: played in packed houses. That's a big contrast to what

1508
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 2: they did in recent seasons. Colorado's football program sold out

1509
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 2: season tickets for the first time in history and had

1510
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 2: the highest average ticket price in all of college football

1511
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 2: in September. So Sanders was telling reporters that climax, we

1512
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 2: gave you early on quote, We're going to get you

1513
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 2: back because I know you liked that ride, didn't You

1514
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 2: were going to get you back there.

1515
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 5: Now.

1516
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 2: I believe that the honeymoon phase is probably over now.

1517
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 2: It always it never lasts long in sports. Four wins

1518
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 2: is acceptable in the first year when you're rebuilding a

1519
01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 2: program from scratch. The next step, Colorado's got to reach

1520
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 2: a bull game next year, and the next step after

1521
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 2: that they have to legitimately compete for a conference championship.

1522
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 2: Will do even be there? Colorado goes back to the

1523
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 2: Big twelve next season, and they were, you know, among

1524
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 2: the leaders of the Big the Pac twelve exodus. So

1525
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 2: next year's schedule is gonna be filled with brand new opponents,

1526
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 2: and you know everybody's gonna have Colorado circled. They're gonna

1527
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,720
Speaker 2: have Deon Sanders circle. Here's the question, how are they

1528
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 2: gonna handle it? How will Colorado perform moving forward? Will

1529
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 2: they validate Sanders selection as sports Person of the Year

1530
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 2: or is this kind of an over zealous prisoner of

1531
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 2: the moment type award. I'm not sure it's bringing the

1532
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 2: crew Kevin without overthinking it. Is Dion Sanders worthy of

1533
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 2: being Sports Illustrated sports Person of the Year.

1534
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't believe so.

1535
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 7: I mean, if you're gonna be the sports Person of

1536
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 7: the Year, there ask me some sort of sustainability as

1537
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 7: being the head coach of a major football program. I

1538
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 7: think It's great that he put Colorado back on the

1539
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 7: map for as poor as they as they were and

1540
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 7: got off to a great start at three and oho.

1541
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 7: But beyond that, what did he do other than, you know,

1542
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 7: throw his offensive line under the bus, which is his

1543
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 7: fault because he didn't recruit and didn't transfer guys in.

1544
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,719
Speaker 7: He got his son literally broke his back, literally suffered

1545
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 7: a broken back because they couldn't protect him all season long, and.

1546
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 2: They got starting left Tan just transferred out, you know that, right.

1547
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 7: I did see that hemorrhaging recruits left and right. They've

1548
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 7: lost I think they've lost two more since we signed

1549
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 7: on the show tonight. It's like, and this is not

1550
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 7: all I'm not trying to like shoot and be negative

1551
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 7: against Dion Sanders, but these are all facts, just based

1552
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 7: on how everything started, the we come in and all

1553
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 7: the things that he yelled out after they beat TCU

1554
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 7: and follow food up against Nebraska and Colorado State to

1555
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 7: hit the tank and only win four wins this season.

1556
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 7: What has he done to be considered the sports Person

1557
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 7: of the Year when there were so many other candidates.

1558
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: That's I don't calculate that. Well, let's let's talk about

1559
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 2: this for just a second, then we'll go to Shay.

1560
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:02,799
Speaker 2: I'm okay with you were Here's why. You could certainly

1561
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 2: give it to Nikola Jokic.

1562
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

1563
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 2: Hell Lisa Salter's claims she never heard of him before

1564
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs started, right. You could give it to Bruce Bochie,

1565
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 2: but no one watched the World Series this year and

1566
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 2: I love Boach. You can give it to Patrick Mahomes,

1567
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:19,919
Speaker 2: but he's won everything else. So when you land on Sanders,

1568
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 2: I'm kind of okay with it. But to your point,

1569
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 2: what we don't know, Kevin, is if we were to

1570
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 2: get Pat forty or whoever decides this thing in a room,

1571
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 2: I would just merely ask him, what is your criteria?

1572
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 6: Right?

1573
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 2: What's your criteria?

1574
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 1: And look is an impact? Is it social media buzz?

1575
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 7: Is it look transcending the sport where you're talking to

1576
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 7: Good Morning America and all these other people. And if

1577
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 7: that's your criteria, then you know what, Sure, I guess

1578
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 7: if you're talking about transcending sport and becoming a national phenomenon,

1579
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 7: but that's beyond the Sports Person of the Year, because

1580
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 7: are you doing something some standard of excellence within your field,

1581
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 7: which is college football. I think the answer to that

1582
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 7: is no, even with the turnaround on a minor scale

1583
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 7: from an exposure standpoint to Colorado for four games, it

1584
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 7: did not have the toughest schedule within the PAC twelve.

1585
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean they lost to some bad teams.

1586
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:16,720
Speaker 2: Well, your points duly noted. And as I said at

1587
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 2: the top, Colorado went one to eight and conference play

1588
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 2: this year. They win one eight and conference play last year.

1589
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 2: So that is not exactly all inspiring if you're looking

1590
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,560
Speaker 2: at the record, Shay, you had the last word on this.

1591
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 2: Deon Sanders deserving.

1592
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 8: I don't think he's deserving at all. And I'm kind

1593
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 8: of upset with both of you because you guys kind

1594
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 8: of forgot about the FIFA World Cup. Yes, it ended

1595
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty two December, but still it wasn't like

1596
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 8: it didn't count for that year. So I was assuming,

1597
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 8: and also MESSI was the biggest name for the first

1598
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:48,639
Speaker 8: like four months of the year. So I'm thinking also

1599
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 8: looking at the last two winners from Tom Brady Stephen Curry,

1600
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 8: like you would assume it's gonna be messy, like I

1601
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 8: assumed it was gonna be messy. But Deon Sanders just

1602
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 8: doesn't make sense to me. You could even give it

1603
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 8: to like the Moroccan team or something like like anyone

1604
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 8: over Deon Sanders. Like the FIFA World Cup, one of

1605
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 8: the biggest sporting events took place. Yes, it took place

1606
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 8: last year, but we were still celebrating it four or

1607
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 8: five months into it, Like I did you see those

1608
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 8: videos coming out of Argentina, Like I was honestly donfounded

1609
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 8: that Messa didn't. I don't think Messi's won it once either,

1610
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 8: so I think he was more deserving than Deon Sanders,

1611
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 8: like a thousand times more deserving than Deon Sanders. But again,

1612
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 8: the US doesn't care about soccer, so I.

1613
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 1: Wonder how much we lean towards domestic heroes when it

1614
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: comes to that.

1615
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 9: And that's probably why that's what I'm thinking too. So

1616
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 9: I don't know, I just I really think it's Angel Reese.

1617
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: If you wanted to, you could have gone.

1618
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 8: The had twenty twenty we had I mean she's technically

1619
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 8: not I mean she's tech I don't know Naomi of soccer,

1620
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 8: like she won and like that's probably the last person

1621
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 8: from Japan. And then we also had I'm looking at

1622
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 8: a list right now in twenty twenty from Canada professional football.

1623
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 9: I don't, I don't.

1624
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:55,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1625
01:27:55,240 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 8: This person's name is Lauren or Rene tardif. Yes, so

1626
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 8: they also won in twenty twenty. There was like a

1627
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 8: couple winners in twenty twenty. But I really do believe

1628
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 8: it should have been messy and I don't see I

1629
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:10,640
Speaker 8: don't see an explanation why, and I really don't get it.

1630
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 2: All right, Well, first of all, your messy comment needs

1631
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,679
Speaker 2: to be framed and hung on the wall to louver

1632
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 2: next to the Mona Lisa. That was some strong That

1633
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 2: was one hell of a strong take, because let's not

1634
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 2: forget MESSI had done everything, and you know, every year,

1635
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 2: at the end of the year, just for giggles, my

1636
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 2: final show of the year, I always talk about great

1637
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:35,759
Speaker 2: athletes who never won a championship, Tony Gwynn, Charles Barkley,

1638
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller, Dan Marino, Patrick Ewing, Barry Bonds, Karl Malone,

1639
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 2: right on down the line. Well, MESSI was about to

1640
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 2: follow that group. He had all the pressure in the

1641
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:46,560
Speaker 2: world on him, and not only led Argentina started, he

1642
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 2: came to the United States and he was packing the

1643
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 2: place outs, you know, showing up and scoring goals. Look

1644
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 2: at this is a subjective thing, and that's exactly why

1645
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 2: they gave it to Dion. But this this is a

1646
01:28:57,080 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 2: good discussion. So names are in the news a lot

1647
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 2: this week, not the least of which is I'm just

1648
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 2: gonna call this guy a jackass. And it's amazing. I mean,

1649
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 2: not only gets another high profile job, but he gets

1650
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,560
Speaker 2: a high profile job at the same place he was

1651
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 2: unceremoniously removed from eleven years ago. You're gonna want to

1652
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 2: hear this story. I'm Bernie Fraddle, were Comedy Live from

1653
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, tire act dot com studios.

1654
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here. You're listening to the Bernie

1655
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 2: Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. Sorry back at the

1656
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,560
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Coming to live to

1657
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 2: tirerac dot com studios here in Las Vegas. Take you

1658
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 2: up to two am Pacific, five a m Eastern. So

1659
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,879
Speaker 2: after leading Texas A and M's offense to a bottom

1660
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:47,599
Speaker 2: half ranked offensive production in twenty twenty three, he's now

1661
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:52,639
Speaker 2: back at Arkansas as their offensive coordinator. It's not from mayor,

1662
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Bobby Petrino, who says

1663
01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 2: you can't go home again. Remember back twenty twelve, Arkansas

1664
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:05,400
Speaker 2: was actually eleven and two, and they even got a

1665
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 2: victory in the Cotton Bowl. But then shortly thereafter, Bobby

1666
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 2: Petrino crashed and burned literally and figuraly during April first

1667
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 2: motorcycle ride that turned out to be anything but an

1668
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 2: April fool's joke. Now, Bobby Patrino allegedly is an avid

1669
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:29,960
Speaker 2: motorcycle rider, and he was on a two lane highway

1670
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 2: about twenty miles outside of Fayetteville, and in the wreck,

1671
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:37,439
Speaker 2: he crashed his motorcycle. Not making fun of that part.

1672
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,000
Speaker 2: He suffered four broken ribs, a cracked vertebrae in his neck,

1673
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 2: abrasions on his face, and then he had this news

1674
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 2: conference which is now infamous, where he appeared to be

1675
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,639
Speaker 2: in a net brace. He said the accident occurred because

1676
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 2: of the sun and wind caused him to lose control

1677
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 2: of the motorcycle. Arkansas confirmed the wreck. They went on

1678
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 2: to note that he was in stable condition and quote

1679
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 2: involved no other individuals. However, the April first non joke

1680
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 2: motorcycle ride turned out to be again anything but a joke,

1681
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 2: because you see a state police report shed more light

1682
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 2: on the incident and they actually disagreed and kind of

1683
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 2: countered with some of the sketchy details that the university

1684
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:34,680
Speaker 2: had publicly provided. Turned out, Patrino had been on his

1685
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:38,600
Speaker 2: motorcycle with someone, a young lady by the name of

1686
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 2: Jessica Durell, twenty five year old Jessica Durell, who, even

1687
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 2: though she had no football experience, Patrino had just conveniently

1688
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 2: hired the previous month as the Arkansas Razorbacks player development coordinator. Now,

1689
01:31:54,479 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 2: she was a former Arkansas volleyball player, and she previously

1690
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 2: worked for the Razorback Foundation, which was a fundraising arm

1691
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 2: of the university, and I guess worked on behalf of

1692
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 2: the athletic department. But as it turned out, Bobby Patrino

1693
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 2: and Jessica Durenro were more than just colleagues. You know,

1694
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 2: Bobby fifty one years old look for a little something something. Sure,

1695
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 2: he's a married father offore, but it turned out he'd

1696
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 2: maintained an inappropriate relationship with Jessica Durell, twenty five years

1697
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 2: old at the time, and apparently at one point, allegedly

1698
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 2: Patrino had given Durell a twenty thousand dollars gift. Hmm,

1699
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:47,599
Speaker 2: how about that about twenty minutes before the police report

1700
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 2: became public, Patrino admitted his relationship with Durel and being

1701
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 2: with him on a motorcycle. Here's what's interesting. There was

1702
01:32:56,920 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 2: a real conflict of interest here. Durell was hired for

1703
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:05,360
Speaker 2: that position that I just mentioned, but she was one

1704
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:10,679
Speaker 2: of one hundred and fifty nine applicants for the position. Yeah,

1705
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 2: but turned out to me she was very uniquely qualified

1706
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:17,080
Speaker 2: because of the one hundred and fifty nine, Durell was

1707
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 2: the only one who didn't have a master's degree and

1708
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 2: the only one that didn't have a football background. And

1709
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 2: not only that, Patrino he sought to bypass the university

1710
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:30,720
Speaker 2: affirmation action policy or check that affirmative action. Nice to

1711
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:31,800
Speaker 2: be nice, if I could talk, you know what I

1712
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 2: meant with that? Now, that requires a job opening to

1713
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 2: be posted for at least thirty days before interviews begin,

1714
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:44,519
Speaker 2: and Patrino sidestepped that as well. Further complicating this whole

1715
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:49,640
Speaker 2: mess was that Jessica Durell was reportedly engaged to a

1716
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 2: gentleman who was the athletic Department's director of swimming and diving. Well,

1717
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 2: I could go on, but the reality of it is

1718
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 2: Arkansas has rehired Bobby Patrino eleven years later. I guess

1719
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:11,360
Speaker 2: what God has joined together. Let no man put asunder.

1720
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:17,839
Speaker 2: This is where we are not judging, but I am reporting.

1721
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 2: Let's go out to the phones. Amit joined? Just from Olympia, Washington?

1722
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:24,679
Speaker 2: Are you celebrating the Huskies victory to night Emmitt?

1723
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 11: You know it's funny, Bernie, because my family grew up

1724
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 11: in Oregon, Like well, like I have family in Oregon,

1725
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 11: you know, I really grew up there, but I went,

1726
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 11: you know, would visit there.

1727
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 2: I'm a Ducks fan.

1728
01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 11: Actually went to the twenty twenty one Civil War between

1729
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 11: Oregon Oregon State. So I like panic but it's rough.

1730
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 2: All right? Do you wanted to talk about Dion anyway?

1731
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about DMB and Sportsman of the Year.

1732
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:53,360
Speaker 11: Bernie, It's ridiculous. I don't get it. I mean, to me,

1733
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:56,080
Speaker 11: the Sportsman of the Year is like somebody's like, you know,

1734
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 11: either like excelled in their coaching and excelled in their

1735
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 11: like in they're play on the fielder on the court,

1736
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:04,040
Speaker 11: you could say, And to me like, yeah, Deon's done

1737
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:07,960
Speaker 11: a lot for like Colorado, but it's just ridiculous that

1738
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 11: he won this. I mean they just falling. You know,

1739
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 11: they've pooped the bed, as Ben Mallards say, since like

1740
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:17,680
Speaker 11: the September. So I think it's ridiculous when you got

1741
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 11: guys like Nikola Jokic who carried their Nuggets to the

1742
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,360
Speaker 11: first ever title in the franchise's history. I mean Rob

1743
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 11: Parker brought that up yesterday. I thought that was a

1744
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:29,120
Speaker 11: great point show. Hey O Tahani, I mean Patrick Mahomes like,

1745
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 11: there's so many athletes to where do I like? Am

1746
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 11: I hating on Dion for winning it?

1747
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:34,280
Speaker 6: No?

1748
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 11: Because I like Dion as a coach and I like

1749
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 11: what he's doing. I just think there's a lot more

1750
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:40,719
Speaker 11: qualified individuals, you know, who could win the award.

1751
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for checking in. Appreciated Emmett And uh,

1752
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 2: you're not wrong in any of your assertions. I mentioned

1753
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:50,760
Speaker 2: some of those same players. What we don't know is

1754
01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:54,560
Speaker 2: what the criteria is for the award, And until I

1755
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 2: know what the criteria is, I'm going to assume this

1756
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:00,560
Speaker 2: is highly subjective. Because of the incredible white hot spotlight

1757
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 2: that Dion managed to put on Colorado Football Pac Stadium celebrities,

1758
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 2: ninety million dollars in media revenue, the uh you know,

1759
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,760
Speaker 2: the big noon kickoff team from Fox. There three weeks

1760
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 2: in a row ESPN Game Day people staying up till

1761
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 2: two o'clock in the morning Eastern time to see them

1762
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 2: go over time with Colorado State. They became a ay,

1763
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,120
Speaker 2: sure as he'll became a Hollywood production for at least

1764
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:30,160
Speaker 2: a little bit, at least a little while. And Dion

1765
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:32,679
Speaker 2: proved that, you know, he could, he could draw a crowd.

1766
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:36,800
Speaker 2: So I look, I'm okay with it. I Am not

1767
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 2: going to throw a flag because it's objective. I would

1768
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 2: just say this. I don't know what the criteria was,

1769
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 2: but any of the other people you mentioned, whether it

1770
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:47,639
Speaker 2: be Mahomes, whether it be Nicola Jokick, you know, even MESSI,

1771
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 2: like Shay said, I'm good with it, but I want

1772
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 2: to I want to wrap this up, this Bobby Petrino thing.

1773
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 2: I know that there were real there there was a

1774
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:00,720
Speaker 2: real dalliance between Urban Meyer and miss State. I don't

1775
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 2: care what anybody believes. He ended up not taking a job.

1776
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 2: Regardless of what happened throughout this process. There were people

1777
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 2: at Michigan State fans that were sanctimonius. How can you

1778
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 2: hire a guy like that when it ended the way

1779
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:17,240
Speaker 2: it did at Jacksonville, or it dto the way it

1780
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 2: didn't Ohio State, or into the way it did at Florida.

1781
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 2: If you saw the Netflix thing, et cetera, et cetera, Really,

1782
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 2: how the hell can you hire a Bobby Patrino this one?

1783
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 2: I kind of threw a flag on Kevin figures you

1784
01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 2: got any thoughts on this, because he usually have a

1785
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 2: pragmatic view of these things after what he did eleven

1786
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:40,559
Speaker 2: years ago, not even just closing during the hiring process,

1787
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:43,799
Speaker 2: his relationship with this young lady Durell or his payment

1788
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,400
Speaker 2: to her or Steve during this hire over one hundred

1789
01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 2: and fifty nine other candidates or probably more, probably more qualified,

1790
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:55,559
Speaker 2: and then he brings a bottom half offensive coordinator production

1791
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 2: from Texas A and M Darkansas. What am I missing here?

1792
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 7: Well, one word is desperation. That's literally a desperation of familiarity.

1793
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 7: Things are not going the way that they planned for

1794
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 7: Sam Pittman. They know that he has had a run

1795
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:11,320
Speaker 7: of success, you know, going back to Louisville, having the

1796
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:14,560
Speaker 7: Heisman Trophy, wonder with Lamar Jackson. They can kind of

1797
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:16,880
Speaker 7: blow off some excuses and say, well, A and M

1798
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:19,599
Speaker 7: wasn't necessarily his fault. There's so many things working against them.

1799
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 7: The quarterback got hurt, it was a Jimbo production, on

1800
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:24,880
Speaker 7: and on and on and on. So I think what

1801
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:26,840
Speaker 7: this sets them up to do is if things get

1802
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 7: off slowly next season under Sam Pittman, it gives them

1803
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 7: the right to be able to fire him and slide

1804
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 7: Bobby Petrino in on a quote unquote interum basis, if

1805
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 7: they have success, they can give him the job right away,

1806
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 7: as opposed to firings Pittman and bringing him in, which

1807
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 7: I so, I think this is kind of more of

1808
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 7: a softer landing to kind of bring him in to

1809
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 7: be the to be the head coach eventually if and

1810
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 7: when things go under for Sam Pittman.

1811
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: That's what I think they're setting themselves.

1812
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:53,920
Speaker 2: Up for here. He may well be right, and I

1813
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 2: agree with you. Desperate people do desperate things. But you know,

1814
01:38:57,240 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 2: in the past few years people there was teeth gnashed

1815
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 2: about Rick Patino. He actually won a national championship. There's

1816
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:06,599
Speaker 2: teeth gnashing about Urban Meyer won three national championships. I mean,

1817
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:10,840
Speaker 2: there's cat and teeth gnashing about Hugh Freeze and what

1818
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 2: happened with him. He actually had a lot of success

1819
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:15,720
Speaker 2: in the other schools. You're all right, he did have

1820
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, and even with Lamar in their final game,

1821
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 2: I think in their bowl game against Mississippi State, they

1822
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 2: didn't look great. I always liked Lamar. But Bobby Patrino

1823
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,920
Speaker 2: to me is thirty miles a bad road. He's gonna

1824
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 2: have to prove me wrong. Not for me to be

1825
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:34,960
Speaker 2: Arkansas's advisor. I will say this, Oh Shay, I'll tell

1826
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 2: you what we got about a minute. You got the

1827
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 2: last word. If if you care to weigh in on

1828
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 2: Bobby Patrina to Arkansas, Yeah, I.

1829
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:43,519
Speaker 8: Mean the guy has no loyalty. I mean, we saw

1830
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 8: what he did with the team before he came back

1831
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 8: to the Cardinals. It was Western Kentucky, right Falcons, he

1832
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:55,120
Speaker 8: leaves the dude, The dude has no loyalty. So I mean, yeah,

1833
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:56,920
Speaker 8: Arkansas is taking a gamble on him. Yes, he could

1834
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 8: be a good coach. But even if he does a

1835
01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:00,360
Speaker 8: good job, is he going to be there for longer

1836
01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 8: than a year? Like what's gonna happen? If he does

1837
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:04,680
Speaker 8: a bad job, they'll fire him. So no matter what

1838
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 8: I think, they lose on this, Like they get a

1839
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 8: guy that has no loyalty and the guy that's trying

1840
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 8: to move up and just make more money, in my opinion,

1841
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:13,240
Speaker 8: has no true love for the sporiter left for a

1842
01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 8: team he's playing with.

1843
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 9: That's that's really boud and speaking of loyalty.

1844
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:18,120
Speaker 2: To top it all off, you guys will get a

1845
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:22,920
Speaker 2: kick out of this. Their returning quarterback kJ Jefferson, who's

1846
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 2: been a three year starter. He's thrown for over eight

1847
01:40:25,080 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 2: thousand yards and seventy touchdowns, has one year left. He

1848
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 2: just entered the transfer report this week. Good luck.

1849
01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 7: If I'll play buying the offensive line, I would too.

1850
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 7: So guy got his tail kicked all season long.

1851
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, we got Chris Profets World of Soccer,

Speaker 2: coming up next year we've got the Olympics in Paris.

1880
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:02,240
Speaker 2: That's why each week time we bring you Chris Perffett's

1881
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 2: World of Soccer.

1882
01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 3: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international dramaim.

1883
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:23,799
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1884
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:28,400
Speaker 12: Exciting times here as we entered December, Bernie as across

1885
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:32,840
Speaker 12: the world, we get into the draws of sixteen. We're

1886
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 12: waiting here twelve of sixteen teams in the Champions League

1887
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 12: of punch of their tickets to the knockout round. And

1888
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:42,600
Speaker 12: we're going to talk about MLS Cup playoffs here in

1889
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 12: a little bit. But first, speaking of that exciting action

1890
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:49,440
Speaker 12: happening across the world, let's talk about a bit of honesty.

1891
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 12: Let's talk about a bit of honesty that I haven't

1892
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 12: really seen in a while. A very fun little incident

1893
01:42:55,200 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 12: happened Christiano Ronaldo's All Nasser was taking on Percopolis of

1894
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 12: Iran in the Asian Champions League on Monday and there

1895
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:10,439
Speaker 12: was a zero zero draw al. Naser ends up moving

1896
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:14,560
Speaker 12: on to the next stage here as the Group E

1897
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,320
Speaker 12: winner with one match left to play, but they've still

1898
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 12: locked it up. But a very interesting thing happened here

1899
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,880
Speaker 12: in what I really haven't seen before. In that Cristiano

1900
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 12: Ronaldo helped to negate a penalty that would have helped

1901
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 12: his team. Yes, in the world of soccer, where gamesmanship

1902
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 12: is everything, Cristiano Ronaldo's honesty came to the forefront. He

1903
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 12: went down in the box the opening moments and the

1904
01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 12: referee monning pointed at the spot, seemed to give a

1905
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:50,599
Speaker 12: penalty to Rinaldo to Al Naser, but Ronaldo instead joined

1906
01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 12: the Iranian players in disputing the penalty itself. Now only

1907
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:59,360
Speaker 12: if that honesty would help Ronaldo and Al Naser in

1908
01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:03,760
Speaker 12: their domestic league. A massive showdown between All Hallal and

1909
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 12: Al Nasser here on Wednesday saw Al Halal defeat Naser,

1910
01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 12: handing them their first defeat in twenty one games. And

1911
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:15,479
Speaker 12: now Al Halal sits about six points clear of Al

1912
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 12: Naser in the Saudi Pro League table. As it starts

1913
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 12: to get a little tight here in that league, maybe

1914
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 12: Rinaldo won't be able to bring them the crown here.

1915
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:27,240
Speaker 12: It's something you have to keep your eye on. Maybe

1916
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 12: actually has some interest in the Saudi leagues for once

1917
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:34,559
Speaker 12: Al Kalala, of course, featuring the famous left winger Naymar

1918
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 12: as part of the Saudi attempts from these past transfer

1919
01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:41,800
Speaker 12: windows to buy many, many, very big name players to

1920
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:46,479
Speaker 12: get more emphasis on their league. But something else is

1921
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:48,960
Speaker 12: starting to brew across the world of soccer, and that

1922
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 12: is the word sinbins. Now, if you are a fan

1923
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 12: of hockey at all, you might be familiar with the

1924
01:44:55,479 --> 01:45:00,439
Speaker 12: idea of sinbins, a fun way to describe penalty boxes

1925
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 12: where players would have to sit out the duration of

1926
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 12: a given penalty. Now, this isn't new to soccer and

1927
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 12: it's something that's being tested at a grassroots level in

1928
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 12: England and it has caused a lot of controversy here

1929
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:20,560
Speaker 12: this past week, partly because MLS seems very intent on

1930
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:24,200
Speaker 12: making it part of their own pro league as they

1931
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:28,560
Speaker 12: look ready to trial sinnbins in football, especially as the

1932
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 12: sports lawmakers and the International Football Association Board are trying

1933
01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 12: to continue these trials in the hopes to clamp down

1934
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 12: on player behavior. Now, it's drawn a lot of backlash

1935
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:46,360
Speaker 12: from coaches and managers in England who think the idea

1936
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 12: is just patently stupid and think that refs need to

1937
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:54,839
Speaker 12: stop interfering. Those are the words of ange Pasta Cooglu,

1938
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:59,680
Speaker 12: the Tottenham manager, who just sees this rule as just nonsense.

1939
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:03,679
Speaker 12: MLS itself, however, might be more amenable to the idea.

1940
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:06,599
Speaker 12: Now it's been in works. As I've said, at lower

1941
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 12: levels in England's grassroots games, if you are shown up

1942
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:12,559
Speaker 12: a yellow card, you have to go out and sit

1943
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:16,759
Speaker 12: about ten minutes in the sinbin as the penalty is served.

1944
01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 12: After that, they'd have to watch from the touch line

1945
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 12: before being waved back on during play. Now, I have

1946
01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 12: some mixed feelings about this. For one, I'm not sure

1947
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 12: what exactly it accomplishes in stopping player interaction with officials. However,

1948
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:39,880
Speaker 12: the Football Association of England disagrees, saying that seventy two

1949
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 12: percent of players and seventy seven percent of managers eighty

1950
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:46,040
Speaker 12: four percent of reps in the grassroots game approved of

1951
01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:48,240
Speaker 12: the sinmen rule and that it led to a thirty

1952
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 12: eight percent decrease in descent, which has become a very

1953
01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 12: big problem recently. But a lot of that, honestly is

1954
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 12: part of the ongoing questions about how soccer itself should

1955
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 12: be officiated at all levels. We have issues with var

1956
01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 12: we have issues with officials and the specter of gambling

1957
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:12,960
Speaker 12: across the entire world Right now as it is, the

1958
01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:17,479
Speaker 12: IFAB wants to trial this at a high professional league,

1959
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:19,200
Speaker 12: it doesn't sound like they're going to be able to

1960
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 12: get it with the Women's Super League in Europe or

1961
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:25,720
Speaker 12: the FA Cup, but MLS could very well be the

1962
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 12: place where it starts. As of course, the American League

1963
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 12: is close to other leagues that have penalty box ideas already,

1964
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:38,559
Speaker 12: and in general has seen itself more open to innovation,

1965
01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 12: to different ideas on how to run these things. But

1966
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:46,680
Speaker 12: again I approach this with a air of skepticism about it.

1967
01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 12: I'm not quite sure what this resolves. They say they

1968
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:53,880
Speaker 12: want to make these sin bin offenses for specific things,

1969
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:57,840
Speaker 12: especially for tactical fouls, if say, a player tugs on

1970
01:47:58,120 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 12: another player's shirt and brings them down well in a

1971
01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:05,760
Speaker 12: scoring position, but the ideas in general just seems to

1972
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:14,320
Speaker 12: invite more conflict, more disputes of official officials and their decisions. Nevertheless,

1973
01:48:14,320 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 12: at the grassroots game it seems to be working. However,

1974
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:20,519
Speaker 12: I always believe that that changes quite differently when you

1975
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 12: move up to the professional ranks, where the stakes are

1976
01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 12: much higher. The money is so much more involved and

1977
01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 12: the audience is much more blood frenzied in their thirst.

1978
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:31,719
Speaker 1: Finally, we must say.

1979
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:36,519
Speaker 12: Congratulations to FC Cincinnati superstar and captain Luciano Acosta, named

1980
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 12: MLS MVP this week here, twenty nine year old attacking

1981
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 12: midfielder with seventeen goals and ten assists, as FC Cincinnati

1982
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 12: will be taking on a sleeper pick I had in

1983
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 12: the MLS Cup playoffs, the Columbus Crew here on Saturday

1984
01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,960
Speaker 12: as part as we start to get ready to see

1985
01:48:56,040 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 12: who is going to the MLS Cup Final. LAFC of

1986
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,680
Speaker 12: course also taking on Houston Dynamo on Saturday, as well

1987
01:49:03,720 --> 01:49:05,719
Speaker 12: as for the Western Conference side of things.

1988
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:09,559
Speaker 1: We'll check in with that all soon enough. We'll see

1989
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:10,800
Speaker 1: you next time in the world of soccer.

1990
01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:15,360
Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, Chris Purfet's World of Soccer.

1991
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:19,960
Speaker 2: Coming up, we wrap up the show final thoughts on

1992
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:25,040
Speaker 2: the remaining conference championship games on Saturday. We'll put some

1993
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:30,480
Speaker 2: percentages on what's likely to happen, but they aren't my percentages.

1994
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how you feel about that All State predictor,

1995
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:37,200
Speaker 2: but according to them, Oregon had a seventy six percent

1996
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:40,360
Speaker 2: chance of winning Friday and a seventy percent chance of

1997
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 2: getting into the playoffs. Washington had a twenty four percent

1998
01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:47,320
Speaker 2: chance of winning the game and a twenty six percent

1999
01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 2: chance of winning of advancing to the playoffs. Now Washington

2000
01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:55,640
Speaker 2: has one hundred percent chance of being in the playoffs.

2001
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 2: Plus we'll talk about it. Is it better to be

2002
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:01,599
Speaker 2: hired or fight? Well, it depends on how you feel

2003

Speaker 2: and of course Our focus is the college football conference championships,

2016
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:52,519
Speaker 2: but we've got a bizarre world coming up. I'll be

2017
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 2: back on these airwaves Saturday night at eleven pm on Pacific,

2018
01:50:57,479 --> 01:50:59,559
Speaker 2: and boy do we have a jam Pack show as well.

2019
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:02,840
Speaker 2: We are heading into a Sunday of NFL bizarre world.

2020
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 2: If you don't believe me. You've got a ten to

2021
01:51:06,320 --> 01:51:10,160
Speaker 2: one team that's a home underdog. That would be the

2022
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 2: Eagles catching three from the forty nine ers. You got

2023
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 2: a Bill Belichick coach team who's a home underdog against

2024
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 2: the team who's under five hundred. By the way, the Broncos,

2025
01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:21,960
Speaker 2: they gave up seventy points in one game a few

2026
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:23,880
Speaker 2: weeks back. Now they've only given up eighty points in

2027
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,479
Speaker 2: the last five and they're five in a row. It's

2028
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,719
Speaker 2: going to be a fun NFL Sunday. But we've still

2029
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:33,440
Speaker 2: first got our Made for TV Invitational Tournament Committee selections.

2030
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 2: So since this playoff format began in twenty fourteen, twenty

2031
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:44,599
Speaker 2: nine of the thirty six participants have been conference champions.

2032
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:50,120
Speaker 2: So Washington took care of business Friday night, Michigan, I

2033
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:53,000
Speaker 2: expect to take care of business if Florida State takes

2034
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 2: care of business and Georgia takes care of business. He'll laugh.

2035
01:51:56,040 --> 01:52:01,599
Speaker 2: Four conference champions, I think, regardless of what happens, because

2036
01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:05,679
Speaker 2: if Texas wins, they'll be a conference champion. If Alabama wins,

2037
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 2: they'll be a conference champion. Oregon got beats, so they're

2038
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:13,400
Speaker 2: done in Ohio State. No again, I don't know how

2039
01:52:13,439 --> 01:52:17,519
Speaker 2: you feel about the All State. With all the respect

2040
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:21,639
Speaker 2: the All State, what do they call them? The playoff predictor?

2041
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:24,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how they do this because they had

2042
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:27,400
Speaker 2: Oregon seventy six percent chance to win, which I think

2043
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:29,559
Speaker 2: a lot of people thought they were. They were laying

2044
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:31,519
Speaker 2: nine nine and a half and seventy percent chance to

2045
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:33,920
Speaker 2: make the playoff. Well, you've already got one team in that,

2046
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,040
Speaker 2: according to them, had a twenty four percent chance of

2047
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:38,800
Speaker 2: not only winning Friday Night, but only a twenty six

2048
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 2: percent chance of making the playoffs. That's Washington Michigan. They're

2049
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 2: projected to have a ninety three percent chance to beat Iowa.

2050
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:47,920
Speaker 2: Feels more like one hundred ninety three percent. I feel

2051
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:53,360
Speaker 2: like Michigan's in Georgia. Alabama's tight. They've got Georgia is

2052
01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 2: a fifty two percent chance to win the game, but

2053
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:58,160
Speaker 2: a fifty six percent chance to get to the playoffs.

2054
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:00,840
Speaker 2: Rule in Alabama as a twenty eight percent. If you

2055
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:03,679
Speaker 2: want the higher probabilities, they've got Texas at forty eight percent.

2056
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:07,519
Speaker 2: In Florida stated seventy percent to make the playoffs. It

2057
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 2: feels like there's going to be a monkey wrench here.

2058
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,640
Speaker 2: And again, with all due respect to Florida, you know,

2059
01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 2: the committee hasn't out if there is a you know,

2060
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 2: a substantive composition change, a change in the composition of

2061
01:53:23,080 --> 01:53:27,519
Speaker 2: the roster. Right, so I don't know what's going to

2062
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:30,639
Speaker 2: happen Saturday, marching out Rodamaker or their third string quarterback

2063
01:53:31,080 --> 01:53:34,120
Speaker 2: any way, a slice it. It feels rough. I think

2064
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:37,120
Speaker 2: our consensus was we believe at the end of the

2065
01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 2: day of the committee will select Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and Texas.

2066
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:45,639
Speaker 2: And I don't think how you can argue with that. Now, Kurt,

2067
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:51,160
Speaker 2: one of our callers, he had he likes Georgia, Alabama, Michigan,

2068
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:54,720
Speaker 2: and Washington. Now that would leave Texas out and you'd

2069
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:58,280
Speaker 2: have a non conference champion, one loss champion in there

2070
01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:03,560
Speaker 2: versus a Texas conference champion. But this is why this

2071
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 2: this twelve team playoff can't get here soon enough. All Right,

2072
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:12,679
Speaker 2: college football's regular season is over and here we go. Baby,

2073
01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:17,719
Speaker 2: you're not gonna believe it. So far college football coaches

2074
01:54:18,479 --> 01:54:24,520
Speaker 2: who have been fired this year, we'll be collecting accumulative

2075
01:54:25,040 --> 01:54:30,240
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighteen million dollars in buyouts. Oh man,

2076
01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:32,760
Speaker 2: that your mama's let your babies grow up to be

2077
01:54:33,080 --> 01:54:38,560
Speaker 2: college football coaches. Hell, you thought Jimbo Fisher was the star.

2078
01:54:38,720 --> 01:54:41,840
Speaker 2: Seventy six point three million. He's gonna get twenty seven

2079
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:43,800
Speaker 2: million of it within four months, and then they've got

2080
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:46,720
Speaker 2: till twenty thirty one to pay him out. He gone,

2081
01:54:47,040 --> 01:54:49,880
Speaker 2: jimble Fisher gone. But he's not the only one that

2082
01:54:49,960 --> 01:54:54,360
Speaker 2: gets the party this Christmas. Indiana, the Hoosiers, they finished

2083
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:56,680
Speaker 2: with the record of three and nine this year. They

2084
01:54:56,800 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 2: fire their head coach Tom Allen, who agreed to a

2085
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:04,400
Speaker 2: fifteen point five million dollar settlement. I say settlement because

2086
01:55:04,760 --> 01:55:07,800
Speaker 2: I believe his buyout was twenty million, but he's not

2087
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 2: going to complain. Fifteen point five goes a long way

2088
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:14,320
Speaker 2: in Bloomington if he stays there. Michael Pennix didn't stay there,

2089
01:55:14,440 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 2: Kaitlin de Boor didn't stay there. I'm sure Tom Allen

2090
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:21,480
Speaker 2: will land somewhere and he'll he'll pull up and find fedle.

2091
01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:25,040
Speaker 2: You're Houston. Cougar's ended the season with a four and

2092
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:30,320
Speaker 2: eight record. They promptly fired their coach, Dana Holderson. He'll

2093
01:55:30,360 --> 01:55:33,880
Speaker 2: receive a tidy fourteen point eight million dollars in buyout money.

2094
01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:37,440
Speaker 2: Those two figures alone are worth a combined thirty point

2095
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:41,280
Speaker 2: three million. That takes this season total of bout money

2096
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 2: owed to coaches more than one hundred and eighteen million,

2097
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:48,360
Speaker 2: which blows past the single season record of ninety four

2098
01:55:48,440 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 2: million back in twenty twenty one, with of course, by

2099
01:55:52,840 --> 01:55:56,440
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher getting the getting the the all time Booby

2100
01:55:56,480 --> 01:56:00,400
Speaker 2: Prize seventy six point eight million. But it's not Tim

2101
01:56:02,160 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 2: Mississippi State. Remember we remember two three Saturdays ago when

2102
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:09,560
Speaker 2: Texas A and M blew out Mississippi State fifty one

2103
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:13,080
Speaker 2: to ten. That's when the good folks down in College

2104
01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 2: Station says, Okay, we've had enough of Jimbo Fisher, which

2105
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:17,720
Speaker 2: my moles had told me had been pretty well decided

2106
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 2: with the minute he didn't win the SEC West. They'd

2107
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:23,280
Speaker 2: seen enough, they'd had enough. They didn't feel he was

2108
01:56:23,320 --> 01:56:26,840
Speaker 2: a fit in Texas. In retrospect, didn't recruit Texas that well.

2109
01:56:26,920 --> 01:56:29,520
Speaker 2: They pissed away thirty million in nil money, came up

2110
01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 2: with a great program called Amplify. You can't buy a love,

2111
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:37,640
Speaker 2: can you? You can't? And I really am curious where

2112
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 2: the NFL the nil ordeal goes the next few years.

2113
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:45,919
Speaker 2: But Mississippi State Zach Arnett, he was on the opposite

2114
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:48,000
Speaker 2: side of that fifty one to ten ass whooping against

2115
01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:51,960
Speaker 2: jimbo Fisher and Texas A and M and his Swan song.

2116
01:56:52,400 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 2: He walks away after being fired the next day as

2117
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 2: well with four point five million. Dino Baber's one of

2118
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:04,120
Speaker 2: the better offensive mines. Had some good highlights in Syracuse,

2119
01:57:04,400 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 2: knocked off Clemson a couple times, had their day and

2120
01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:10,560
Speaker 2: his sun. But he's let go. He's gonna walk away

2121
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:14,840
Speaker 2: with four million Boise State and Diavolos and commedially enough

2122
01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:17,839
Speaker 2: Boise State later today playing the mount and West Conference

2123
01:57:17,960 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 2: championship game against UNLV's a three point favorite. They let

2124
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 2: their coach go about four weeks ago, three million dollar buyout,

2125
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:27,520
Speaker 2: and maybe it was the right decision. I don't know.

2126
01:57:27,600 --> 01:57:29,680
Speaker 2: One of the wide receivers who quit the team Underravalos

2127
