11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: and welcome back into another Sunday. As recap, we recap

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: what was a wild weekend again as we're getting somewhat

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: used to now in the days of college football parody,

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: and another wild weekend, and we're going to be recapping

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: a lot looking around the country all the way from

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, Oregon honing on and beating Washington, to Alabama

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: struggling with ellis You to Michigan State going down to

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Giants slayer Perdue once again, and Purdue gets another opportunity

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and it's on the road, but Perdue again knocking off

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: a top five opponent, which puts them and keeps them

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: in the top five in the last twenty years. Of

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: teams that have beaten AP top five teams, I think

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: their fourth or fifth, surrounded by Oklahoma and USC and

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: teams of that caliber. But before I get into the

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: individual games and the breakdowns there, I do just want

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: to make a point about, you know, kind of what

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing from top to bottom, and when I look

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: around the country right now, I think there's one and

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: a half elite teams. You say, what do you mean

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: by one and a half? Well, Georgia to me is

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: an elite team all around, especially more that Stetson Bennett

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: is able to connect down the field. I know Missouri's

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: defense isn't very good at all, but the ability and

34
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: chemistry of him, with Burton coming back, Kiaris Jackson starting

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: to turn it on. You see the relationship between Bowers

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: and Darnell Washington in the tight end room they're in Georgia,

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: So to me, Georgia is an elite team. Alabama tends

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: to play elite on one side of the ball, whether

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: it be offense, whether it be defense, and they have

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: the capability to be elite on both. But right now,

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: the way that team is built, the way that team

42
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: looks is that on any given night, one side can

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: be elite, whether that's the offense and you saw that

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: against an m or whether that's the defense, and you've

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: seen that against LSU and a couple other times. But

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: this is the first time that Alabama really had to

47
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: rely on that defense. And look, I know LSU's not

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: world beaters on offense. We know that the roster situation

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: and the coaching situation that was going down when they

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: went to take on Abama. But but we do know

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: Alabama's talent. And I'm gonna get to the top four

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: in my opinion here in a second. But when you

53
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: watched that Alabama LSU game, excuse me, you can you

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: know the personnel that Alabama has. We all do. When

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: you accrued at that high of a level at each

56
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: position and you stack it year after year after year

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: after year, you're gonna have the capability. But like I

58
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: said last week, all last week and the week before that,

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: there are some vulnerabilities that Alabama has that they haven't

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: had in a while, especially up front on both sides

61
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: of the ball. But you do have to think that

62
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: half of Alabama's team any given day can be elite

63
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: because they've shown it to you, and then you have

64
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: to think they could be a fully elite team if

65
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: they put it together. But they have to put it together,

66
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, looking at my top four real quick before

67
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: we get into this right now, and we're obviously going

68
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: to be discussing this at length and getting into the

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: minutia on the show this week. But I don't know

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: how you don't go Georgia at one, Alabama still at two,

71
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: even though they didn't play well on offense. I think

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: you go Oregon at three and Ohio State at four.

73
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty solid top four. I don't

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to wade into the waters right now

75
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: of five and six and that merry go round seven, eight, nine, whatever.

76
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: But I think that's a solid top four and it

77
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: will change and it will change. So let's start with

78
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: this LSU Alabama game. You know, LSU comes out, they

79
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: run the fake punt, and they're playing with house money.

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: They're playing with house money, Edwards Geron, that staff has gone,

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: a lot of players are in the portal, a lot

82
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: of players are banged up. They're playing with house money.

83
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: Why not saw the fake punt early, the jump pass,

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: fake punt, love that off the two man shield. I

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: believe it was the two men shield. But Alabama to me,

86
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: and you very rarely see this, and you very rarely

87
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: say this about a Nick saman coach team, Alabama to

88
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: me look like they thought what the rest of us thought.

89
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: They were convinced what the rest of us were convinced of,

90
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: that LSU was a dumpster fire that is rolling downhill,

91
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: and they could be that that could be true. But man,

92
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: did LSU get up to play this one? I guess

93
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: it's the freedom of being able to play. But there

94
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: were some caveats in this game that if I was

95
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: an LSU F and I would look it and go,

96
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: why did it take this long for us to do this?

97
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: If you look at LSU defensively, Yeah, they played man

98
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: free cover one, whatever you want to call it, most

99
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: of the game. But they mixed it up as much

100
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: as they've ever mixed it up. They were as exotic

101
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: in the blitz package as they have been all years,

102
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: they have been the past two years, and they gave

103
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: Alabama a lot of looks that they hadn't put on

104
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: tape all year. Head O comes out and says, hey,

105
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: we're too predictable on offense, and defense. Well, offensively, you

106
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: didn't stray too far away from what you've always done,

107
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: but you couldn't. But you couldn't. But defensively, it looked

108
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: like a whole new scheme. It's like they were playing Madden,

109
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, for three years and running one defense and

110
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: decided to come in this one and choose multiple and

111
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: just pick a whole bunch of stuff. And it worked.

112
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: And you and you look at this game. You look

113
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: at the scorer. Game by game, Alabama was shut out

114
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: for two quarters and the third quarter they only scored

115
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: six points. Brian Robinson Junior was the leading rusher for

116
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: Alabama with eighteen yards. Alabama ended up running for six yards. Now,

117
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: when you lose your center, and Alabama lost their center

118
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: early and you had to replace as much as they

119
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: did up front, sometimes it can be an issue. And

120
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: was that the only reason that Alabama struggled on offense, No,

121
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: but it helped a lot. It helped a lot. And

122
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: seeing how how Alabama center's injuries gonna go, it's gonna

123
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: be huge for the big games they have coming up

124
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: in the future, Iron Bowl, SEC Championship, possibly playoff. Possibly

125
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: because it doesn't just affect you, you know physically where

126
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: you may not have as good of a player in there.

127
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: It affects calling protections, makes it solwer for the quarterback.

128
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: You lose chemistry in the middle. The cadence is a

129
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: little bit different. Even though the quarterbacks saying it's the same,

130
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: centers kind of handle it different. That was a big loss.

131
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: It's a big loss for any team. Take away the

132
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: starting center from any team, excuse me, and you'll you'll

133
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: be amazed at the results. Get a couple bads snaps.

134
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: We saw the ball in the ground a couple of times,

135
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: whether it be in the gun, whether it be under center.

136
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: So that's something you have to keep monitoring. They said

137
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: it was a lower leg injury, but Alabama only totaling

138
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: six rushing yards is wild now. Bryce Young Thu for

139
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: three h two, Jamison Williams Meschi. They did their thing,

140
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: but it just shows you that Alabama is not as elite,

141
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: are as dominant as they have been now. They have

142
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: the capability any given night to beat anybody because their

143
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: personnel's that good. But they'd have to play dad Gum

144
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: near perfect to beat Georgia the way they're playing right now.

145
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: And if you're only running for six yards against LSU

146
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: in that defensive line. May God help you against Jordan

147
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: Davis and the rest of the Monstars in the front

148
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: seven of Georgia. And then you look on the other side,

149
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Tie Davis Price runs for one hundred and four. Wasn't beautiful,

150
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: but they were able to get movement. And if I'm

151
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: an Alabama fen, that's where I worry about the interior

152
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: on both sides of the line of scrimmage right now.

153
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: That's from a little bit worried. And the Alabama defense

154
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: played really really well at times. Will Anderson, we know

155
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: he's a beast, but I'm telling you, guys, Christian Harris

156
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: and Henry Towah Towah will be the reason that Alabama

157
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: can give up rushing yards because the two gapping that

158
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: you've seen in the past and those linebackers flying downhill

159
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: and making plays. I was just watching the clips of

160
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: an Alabama played LSU when Fournette was there and Abama

161
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: ruined his heisman. Hopes there two gaping and linebackers are

162
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: flying downhill, flying downhill. You're not seeing that from this

163
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: year's team. So looking at these matchups coming up, remember

164
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: that so you know Alabama survives I'm gonna keep him

165
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: number two. Georgia just gonna hit it real quick, or

166
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: we know how bad Missouri's defense is. Missouri came out

167
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: and threw a punch, but you saw some guys starting

168
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: to get healthy making plays for Georgia on the outside.

169
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: You saw Stetson Bennett hitting on some downfield passes. And

170
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: if that element of the game starts to come in

171
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: for George and this offense, now they can attack you

172
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: from every area of the field, it becomes scary. And JT.

173
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: Daniels came in looked rusty. What did you expect was

174
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: behind on a slant then ended up being picked cost

175
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people the Georgia cover. But I'm sure

176
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: the more reps he gets, he'll get back in it.

177
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: But did not look crisp. You cannot say that. JT.

178
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: Daniels looked crisp. But Georgia continues to roll and look

179
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: like the number one team in the country by far

180
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: by leaps and bounds. It's the gap seems to widen

181
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: every week. But before we get to this AUBURNA and

182
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: M game, I do want to get to Michigan State

183
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: in Perdue. You know, Michigan State and Meltucker have kind

184
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: of been one of the darlings of college football, and

185
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: it's well deserved. But heavy is the crown. Heavy is

186
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: the crown. They've gotten a lot of pub We've heard that,

187
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: I've heard that, You've heard that Perduce heard that Perdue

188
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: took down the number two ranked, albeit overrated, number two

189
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: ranked IOWA team at home earlier and produced been a

190
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: giant slayer of late. If you're Michigan State, you realize

191
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: that you're running into a trap. Melt Tucker realized it.

192
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure they talked about it all week, But watching

193
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: that game, what it looked like to me is that

194
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: Michigan State, not that they were hung over from the

195
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: Michigan win, but this game they just looked slow. They

196
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: didn't look crisp, they didn't look explosive, not that they

197
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: weren't excited to play the game, but Perdue just looked faster.

198
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: It's like Michigan State totally shot their wide against Michigan

199
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: like it it was all they had and they needed

200
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: two weeks to recover. Are three weeks to recover. The

201
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: hardest part about having success in college football and being

202
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: vaulted toward that top spot is maintaining and sustaining that success.

203
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: Heavy is the crown, the target on your back. The

204
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: more you win and the later you get into, the

205
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: season gets bigger and bigger and bigger. Because for some

206
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: of these teams, and I may be just you know,

207
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: speaking to the choir here or singing to the choir,

208
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: some of these teams are running out of big game opportunities.

209
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: They need something to hang their head on for this season.

210
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: They're trying to increase, while it may not be their

211
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: playoff chances, their chances to go to a great Bowl,

212
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: to get these seniors out the right way. And it

213
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: looked to me like Michigan State they thought they could

214
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: show up, run base and win the game, and Produce said,

215
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: you don't know. And if you watch what Produce did offensively,

216
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: they mixed in the play actually game, the intermediate passing game,

217
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: but they were breaking tackles and making plays. Michigan State

218
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: did not tackle well at all defensively, kind of like

219
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: we saw against Michigan early on in that game. And

220
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: if you're going to play the comeback game where we

221
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: have to come back eventually, that snake bites you, that

222
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: fire burns you, and it burned Michigan State. And we're

223
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: getting to the point of the season where conferences are

224
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: cannibalizing themselves and we've had, in my opinion, more teams

225
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: that are in the conversation. I think you'd agree with

226
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: me than ever before. The parody is at an all

227
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: time high, whether that be for the Super Seniors, whether

228
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: that be for the transfer portal, whether it be for

229
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: some other reason that I don't even know. But Purdue

230
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: did it again and now Michigan State to me, to me,

231
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: you have to hope for an unbelievable amount of chaos,

232
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: which is very possible in today's age. But Auburn A

233
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: and M and M wins the game twenty to three.

234
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: Auburn scored three points in the first quarter, did not

235
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: score a point after that. And look, this was a knockdown,

236
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: drag out fist fight until the fourth quarter. And to me,

237
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: we used to call them staring contests. These two teams

238
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: were staring down each other until one of them blinked.

239
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: But why did one blink? And you know, I don't

240
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't ever get personal or you know, individual with

241
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: players that often and this, that and the other. But

242
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: a spade is a spade. Texas A and M has

243
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: NFL players on that defense. All over that defense, especially

244
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: in that front seven. Auburton has maybe one offensive linemen

245
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: that will have a chance to maybe play a little

246
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: bit in the NFL. Brian Harson inherited a roster that,

247
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: while it in spots has some talent, is deficient of

248
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: talent on the offensive line. Auburn's offensive line is a

249
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: high level group of five offensive line. Not that they're

250
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: bad or terrible. They're not good enough to be able

251
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: to line up and run the ball against Texas A

252
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: and M. They're not good enough to be able to

253
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: line up and run the ball consistently even against a

254
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: Penn State. And they're sure as hell not good enough

255
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: to line up and run the ball against Georgia and

256
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: probably not Alabama. And this is what happens when you

257
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: take over a program. It's not Brian Harson's fault. Now,

258
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: was the offensive line the only part of the offense

259
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: that didn't play well? No, but the margin for error

260
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: for Auburn offensively, and if you look at the wide receiver,

261
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: they don't have explosive wide receivers. They have some good players,

262
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: but they don't have explosive wide receivers. You don't see

263
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: Auburn hitty explosive plays for touchdowns. Auburn's drives are always

264
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: ten twelve plays with a six yard touchdown run. It's

265
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: not like some of these other schools you see it's like, oh,

266
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: it's a seventy yard touchdown pass. Auburn doesn't have those

267
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: guys yet. The problem was with Auburn yesterday, and this

268
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: is a lot of kudos to Texas A and M's defense,

269
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: is that since you're not good enough to just be

270
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: better than people on offense, you have to play very

271
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: well in all position groups offensively. For example, bow Knicks

272
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: didn't play well. Auburn's not good enough to say, Okay,

273
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: bow Nicks, you're not playing well, we're gonna lean heavy

274
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: on the run game and we're gonna grind this thing out.

275
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: They don't have the guys up front to do that.

276
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean A and M's defensive line was punking Auburn's

277
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: offensive line the whole night, just like they got punked

278
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: against Georgia, just like they got punked against Penn State.

279
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: And there's nothing personal against offensive line. They're just not

280
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: as good as what Texas A and M has on

281
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: the defensive line and to be able to compete with

282
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: the Bamas and the Georges, and now you're seeing Texas

283
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: A and M start to step up in recruiting. You

284
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: have to have elite players up front. At some point,

285
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to say, Okay, well we're

286
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna lean on you. We have the capability to lean

287
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: on you. Auburn doesn't. And it's just physics. It's just physics.

288
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: You can look at the way George's offensive line looks physically,

289
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: you can look the way Alabama's, even Texas A and M's,

290
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: even though they got young guys, they all look better

291
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: than Auburn physically. They all look better than Auburn physically,

292
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: a lot more toned. You see it, you see you know,

293
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: a lot more strength, ability to move people off the ball.

294
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: The combos are stronger. You can see them, you know,

295
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: taking over the game. Auburn's offensive line doesn't have they

296
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: to take over the game and to set that tone.

297
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, Armon didn't have that, and A and

298
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: M knew that, but I was very surprised that Alburn

299
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: didn't take more shots down field. One way to help

300
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: that out or alleviate that is get guys out of

301
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: the web, or get guys out of the box. Well,

302
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: Auburn was looked like they were afraid to throw a

303
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: pass over fifteen yards. I mean, you overthrew one for

304
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown, then you never went back to it. And

305
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: A and M knew that, And A and M offensively said, okay,

306
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: Armur's doing a really good job shutting down the run,

307
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: which they have all year. They had a couple of drobs.

308
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Wademeyer dropped a couple, but A and M realized, listen,

309
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: if Auburn's gonna try and wait us out, we know

310
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: we have better players than Auburn, and eventually gravity takes

311
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: its place. And that's what you saw in the fourth quarter.

312
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: Eventually one damn was gonna break. A and M has

313
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: much better personnel in the offensive line than Auburn does.

314
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: And you saw in that fourth quarter when A M

315
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: scored fourteen. It wasn't magic, It wasn't anything crazy. And

316
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: if and if you're an Auburn fan, you got to

317
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: tip your cab to the defense. I mean, Auburn's defense

318
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: played about as well as they could possibly play. Offense

319
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: just didn't get off the bus. And they don't have

320
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: the personnel. And you know when you play good teams

321
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: or elite teams, you know, oh, missus defense personnel wise

322
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: isn't where it needs to be. Auburn is able to

323
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: take advantage. LSU was still in the proverbial car wash,

324
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: as they say, of the distractions and problems with EDO.

325
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: And it wasn't like Auburn dominated that game offensively. I

326
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: think they scored what twenty one points, twenty three points.

327
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna Brian Harson has got to hit the transfer

328
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: portal hert for offensive lineman. He's got to a lot

329
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: of these guys will move on, become pilots, you know,

330
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: get into their their professional business careers, not NFL careers,

331
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: but professional careers, and you've got to find guys who

332
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: replace them. But A and M really dominated. Got to

333
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: be in the top ten. We're gonna talk a ton

334
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: about that this week, including having Jalen Wademeyer on the show. Now. Also,

335
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: do want to get to Cincinnati. I'm going to continue

336
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: to beat the same drum that I beat last week.

337
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is an elite and cool story. They are not

338
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: an elite team. They didn't play well against Tulsa. I

339
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: think they would tell you. They didn't play well against Tulsa.

340
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: That makes now four weeks in a row really where

341
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: they've looked very average. You have game day coming up

342
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: there for the first time, and you're playing three and

343
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: five Tulsa, three and five Tulsa and you need to

344
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: fumble at the goal line up eight to seal the win.

345
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: This team is not playoff caliber. I am sorry. I'm sorry.

346
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: If you've watched them, and you especially watched them last

347
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: three or four weeks, and you're looking on the rest

348
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: of the country. Does Cincinnati beat Oklahoma State? No? Does

349
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati beat Tennessee No? Does Cincinnati beat Liberty? I don't know.

350
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: I don't think they'd beat All miss They're a good team,

351
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to rethink me thinking of them as

352
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: the greatest Group of five team ever the way they've looked.

353
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean a win to win, and you'll have people

354
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: that say, oh, well, you know you can only beat

355
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: who you play. Well, that's true, but you can look

356
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: a lot better beating them, because you shouldn't get get

357
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: in over anyone lost team that Power five. In my opinion,

358
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: that's worth their salt. But we see chaos happening all

359
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: around and it's going to continue to happen. Oregon still

360
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: got to go to Utah, Ohio State still got some

361
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: big games to play. Oklahoma's got some big games to play,

362
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: including Oklahoma State and Baylor. Bama if they go to

363
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship games got to play Georgia and that

364
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: could be lost number two. And they're not exactly killing

365
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: it right now. And then you got Notre Dame sitting

366
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: at ten, and you know what, to be honest with you,

367
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now. And if Bama goes

368
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: and loses SEC championship game and you have a two

369
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: lost Bama and you have George at number one, there's

370
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: a way that they're gonna put Cincinnati an entertainment in

371
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: this thing. And I'm gonna get to wake in a second.

372
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: But you do that, you might as well put the

373
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: other two. You might as well just let the other

374
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: two play in the national Championship. You might as well

375
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: not waste our time, our hell, you might as well

376
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: just set Cincinnati play Notre Dame so one of them

377
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: can can say they want a playoff game. But that's

378
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: what it looks like it's setting up for. But who knows.

379
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: In today's college football, And speaking of today's college football,

380
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: watching literally watching Ohio State struggle with Nebraska the way

381
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: they did. And I know Nebraska got up for that game,

382
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: and Adrian Martinez is an older guy, and this, that

383
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: and the other, and I know that only gave up

384
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: seventeen points, But it's the big plays that I'm watching

385
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: this Ohio State defense give up to certain teams that

386
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: continue to shock me. CJ. Stroud, who's a young quarterback

387
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: that's still learning, got a little more under his belt

388
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: in Caleb Williams in Oklahoma who had a bye week,

389
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: but CJ. Stroud struggled. But Ohio State still has athletes,

390
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: elite athletes. And I'm looking around the rest of the

391
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: college landscape outside of Georgia, and you could say Alabama,

392
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, who who looks to the point where

393
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: you can say, oh well, Ohio State. You gotta move

394
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State now. And this other team is really playing better.

395
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: Don't know how State's got Purdue at home. That's a

396
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: big caveat for Purdue. But Ohio State's got Purdue at

397
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: home this week. You know it gets Penn State last weekend.

398
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: I know Penn State's pretty talented. Ohio State struggled a

399
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: little bit. But this week in Nebraska, I mean that

400
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: was a game that was a game well into the

401
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So it's it's you know, to quote Zak

402
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: Gallifanakis off the campaign, it's you better bring your brooms

403
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: because it's a mess. But speaking about messes, Kentucky loses

404
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: at home forty two to a Tennessee team that when

405
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: they get off to a hot start, if Tennessee scores

406
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: double digits in the first quarter, you're in trouble because

407
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: they're going to dictate the pace of the rest of

408
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: the game. Tennessee is like a great college basketball team

409
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: that makes you play their style. You may be a

410
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: slow it down, let's run our sets, let's get into horns,

411
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: let's do all this type of style of offense. But

412
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: you play against Tennessee and you realize, okay, we're in

413
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: a transition game. They're just running. This is a transition

414
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: basketball game. They're just running. And Kentucky had to play

415
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee style all night because they weren't stopping them on

416
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: early downs and early in the game. Tennessee had confidence.

417
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: It's almost like Tennessee goes into the game not wondering

418
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: if it's gonna work. But if it works early, it's

419
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: like everybody's like, oh my gosh, it's gonna work the

420
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: whole game. Even the team's on defense are like, how

421
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: are we going to stop this? Because you only have

422
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: a couple of answers when you're going that fast. What's

423
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: the first answer. We'll keep it simple on defense. Stay

424
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: in base. We'll let me give you a hint. That's

425
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: exactly what they want you to do. They want you

426
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: to stay in base because if you're in base, they

427
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: know what you're in. If you're in base, they know

428
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: you're average. If you're in base, they know who's open.

429
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: So the passing game doesn't have to be that complex.

430
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 1: How do you think Gus Malson got away with it

431
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: for so long? But the difference in Josh Hype and

432
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: Gus Malzon is Tennessee does have a more complex passing game.

433
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: In that warp speed style system, Tennessee is able to

434
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: run more plays. They're able to go to the well Moore.

435
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: The Wopple House menu has a little more options on it.

436
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: They can get their past smothered, covered, chunked, dunked, punked, plunked,

437
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: and all type of stuff. That's why Tennessee's dangerous. But

438
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: if you stop them early and you get him out

439
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: of rhythm, that's when they have to start playing your game.

440
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: But from the jump, from the first play, Kentucky had

441
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: to play their style. Now to me, Kentucky defensively has

442
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: fallen off a cliff. I mean, you scored forty two

443
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: points at home, Kentucky lost forty two. We'll love us

444
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: step for three seventy two. Now, the turns, we know

445
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: they've been hurting Kentucky. A lot of them were fumbles early.

446
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: They had one turnover this game, but it was a

447
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: huge one's pick six. Well, Levis, just stare down the

448
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: out a they excuse me to come back, Just stare

449
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: down the comeback on the outside. And it was a

450
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: great play by the Taylor kid from Tennessee to pick

451
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: it off and take it to the house. But with

452
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 1: Tennessee and you know, talked about it earlier in the season,

453
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: because when I look at things and look at things working,

454
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: I'm talking about working to be able to beat elite teams.

455
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm talking about working to be able to win championships.

456
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: You know, it's a couple of people on social media about,

457
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: oh you know, do you still think the system or

458
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: scheme doesn't work. Never said that Tennessee's scheme doesn't work.

459
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: What I have said and I will continue to say,

460
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: and I will maintain to say, is that Tennessee doesn't

461
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: have the defensive personnel right now for them to run

462
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: that system and beat elite teams are teams that have

463
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: elite athletes because they really still haven't. Now we know

464
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 1: Kentucky's or really good ball club. They're ranked the eighteenth

465
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: in the country. It's a huge win for Tennessee. But

466
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: Kentucky does not have the same players that Bama has.

467
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: Kentucky does not have the same players that Georgia has.

468
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Kentucky does not have the same players that Florida has.

469
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: And don't worry, I'm about to get into Florida in

470
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: the second. But a huge win for Josh Hypel in

471
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 1: Tennessee and you can start to see the confidence in

472
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: that program growing and growing and growing. And could Josh

473
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: Hypel be the guy I was a little bit doubtful

474
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: at first, still got to see a lot more body

475
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: of working. You have to understand this, and I'm gonna

476
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: talk about this on the show this week. You have

477
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: to understand this Josh Hypel's first year in the league,

478
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: it's Brian Harson's first year in the league. The book

479
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: is an out on them. Yet, just like when a

480
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: pitcher gets up to the bigs, and typically the first

481
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: couple outings where the new pitchers get up to the

482
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: major leagues, they do well, and it's like, how are

483
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: they doing so well where they're talented? We know that

484
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: they're getting coached while we know that, but the book's

485
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: not out on them yet. You get one shot to

486
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: get in the league. For your first year in Tennessee.

487
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: You will now have a whole season of Tennessee and

488
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: Josh Hypel play calling in the SEC to be able

489
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: to prepare for so now you find out as you

490
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: go on. That's why we always say if you're not evolving,

491
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: you're dissolving. Now we'll find out as we go on

492
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: in year two and year three are they good enough

493
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: to be able to mix it up enough to stay fresh?

494
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: And that's cost a lot of coaches, a lot of coaches.

495
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: Gus Mason's another great example. Eventually defenses catch up. Now

496
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: that does that mean they catch up a all the way? No,

497
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: but they're going to take away what makes you most

498
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: effective and make you trouble with your left And for

499
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: all the new coaches, you get one shot to come

500
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: in show what you can do unless you make a

501
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: change at OC But you will see defenses be more

502
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: prepared to play Tennessee next year. But Josh Hypol can

503
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: evolve that offense. That's what makes them special. But Dan

504
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: Mullen and Florida, No, that's a different story. What happened

505
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: to Florida and what is happening at Florida? To me,

506
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: while it is shocking, I guess maybe shocking is not

507
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: the word. While it's very surprising, it's not overwhelming. Are

508
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: something to me that can be viewed as an anomaly

509
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: this season? To me that this is an an additive

510
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: or an aggregation of a lot of things. And I'm

511
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: going to dive into that, but first I do want

512
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: to say something about Sam Pittman and Arkansas getting to

513
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: six wins. You know, Sam Pittman early on in this

514
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: football season, when Arkansas, you know, beat Texas and beat

515
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: A and M, you know that they had quickly become

516
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: the media darlings and they should have for college football.

517
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: But Arkansas hasn't been Bowl eligible in a while and

518
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: beating Mississippi State, and in Mississippi State miss three field goals.

519
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't the prettiest game from Arkansas, but it's one

520
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: they had to have thought. kJ Jefferson was really efficient

521
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: under two hundred yards passing, but really efficient. Had one

522
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: hundred yard rusher brookside eighty two. Will Rogers did what

523
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: he does through for over four hundred yards. But you know,

524
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: watching Arkansas and watching the way that they're recruiting, watching

525
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: the way that they played for Sam Pittman, watching the

526
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: standard be raised, watching the expectations be raised, Arkansas is

527
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: going to be a problem. Arkansas is going to be

528
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: a physical problem. To me, Arkansas is going to be disciplined.

529
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: I think you'll see Kendall brows there for at least

530
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: one more year, and Sam Pittman knows how to hire.

531
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: How long Bariotam will be there, I don't know. But

532
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: this is a huge win for Arkansas and the fan base,

533
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: not only to get off the proverbial schneide. I know

534
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: they'd beat Pine Glove before the bye week, but you know,

535
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: I'd lost three SEC games in a row, I'd lost

536
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: at home game to Auburn. This was huge for them

537
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: to get over the Hump Bowl eligible for the first

538
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: time in a while, which you have to feel good

539
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: for not only Sam Pittman and the team, but the

540
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Arkansas fan base. Hell, even if it's shreveported somewhere right,

541
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: a lot different than Chad Morris going into the tank.

542
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: They had to win it close. At the end, Mike

543
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: Leach announced that there will be kicking triots and the

544
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: Mississippi State University campus at the football facility. So if

545
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: anybody's interested, got any eligibility, drive on down to Stark

546
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: Villa and see if you can make the squad. It's

547
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: a tough loss from Mississippi State. You know, again, you

548
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: had chances at the end the fourth down, tough penalty.

549
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: They threw a little defensive holding penalty on fourth down.

550
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: Are you to close the game out? If you Arkansas

551
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: six and three Mississippi State, you know it was ranked

552
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: seventeenth at five and three, while they drop out of

553
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: the top twenty five. Now you have to go play

554
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: Auburn and that's your reward. It's typically how it is

555
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: in the SEC and we'll get We'll get to this

556
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: Missisipi State Urburn game later because it's still a huge

557
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: Auburn game, A huge game for Auburn and Missi State,

558
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: but especially Auburn because you do still have a path

559
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: and there is some sneaky good games this next Saturday.

560
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: But congrats to Arkansas on the Florida. No, I'll get

561
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: to Oregon for a second set it during the week

562
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: set it on this show, Dan Mullen is much better

563
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: suited for the NFL. In my opinion, You're you're seeing

564
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: the not reckoning, but really you're to me, you're seeing

565
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: Dan Mullin's last days at Florida. I didn't think it

566
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: would happen this fast, But to me, it almost looks mutual.

567
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: It almost feels like Dan wants out and now Florida

568
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: wants Dan out. I don't think he likes recruiting. I

569
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: don't think he enjoys the academic side of it, having

570
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: to keep up with it, having to monitor the players

571
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: instead of them just being at the facility all day

572
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: like they are in the NFL. To me, you may

573
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: get a mutual break, but to lose to South Carolina,

574
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: a South Carolina team that, while they're playing hard, A

575
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: South Carolina team that, while they may believe, a South

576
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: Carolina team that played in front of a crazy house

577
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: there in co be able with the new coach that

578
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: needed a big win. They don't have the personnel to

579
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: be able, or should not have the personnel to be

580
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: able to line up and treat Florida the way that

581
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: they treated them. They shouldn't be able to do what

582
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: they did to Florida, yet they did. Florida still can't

583
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: stop gap scheme. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Kevin Harris went

584
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: for one thirty White went for one twelve. Both averaged

585
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: over eight yards of carry. Hell Marshawn Lloydon was average

586
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: seven yards a carry. Jason Brown came in the Saint

587
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: Francis transfer, came in and bald fourteen to twenty four

588
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: for one seventy five and two tuds. Then you look

589
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: at Florida and they're leading. Russia has thirty nine yards.

590
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: I think Florida's quit. I think the team's quit. I

591
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: think they see the riding on the wall. And if

592
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: you're a Florida fan, you know what you do. If

593
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: something spoiled in the refrigerator, you throw it away. You

594
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: throw it out, you make a change. And while I

595
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: would still be surprised to see Florida come out and

596
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: fire Dan Mullin. It's starting to turn into that. It

597
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: turned from a small kitchen fire to a five alarm

598
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: fire last night. Does Dan survive after this season? I

599
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I would have told you there's no chance

600
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: they'd fire him two three weeks ago. But now you're

601
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: two and eight in your last ten Power Five games,

602
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: and those two wins are against Tennessee and Vanderbilt. And

603
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to sit here and believe, and Florida's fan

604
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: base is supposed to sit here and believe that you

605
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: have any chance to compete against Kirbian recruiting. You think

606
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: it was bad last year after y'all won, and he

607
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: still out recruited you, What is he going to do

608
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: to you this year? What Tennessee gonna do you? With

609
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: Josh Hypel building up a program that's confident. I mean

610
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: you look around Kentucky. I know they lost to Tennessee,

611
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: but Mark Stoops isn't sewing down anytime soon. What I

612
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: saw was in Columbia Saturday night last night from Florida

613
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: was an amalgamation of a coaching staff and players that

614
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: I think either don't want to be there or don't

615
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: want to be there with each other, and both of

616
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: those results are equally horrifying if you're a Florida fan.

617
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: And I'll say it again, like I said before the

618
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: year Emery Jones, isn't that dude? I went seventeen for

619
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: thirty and had two fifty and two touchdowns in a

620
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: pick But when you had to have it, when you

621
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: need that drive, you're not gonna get it. You're not

622
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna get it. And you know what, it's okay to

623
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: miss on a quarterback, as Dabo Sweeney, it's okay. But

624
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: this isn't just that. This isn't just we missed on

625
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I think this relationship is souring. And we're

626
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna look ahead to next week here in a minute.

627
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: But at what point, at what point do you reach

628
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: the point of no return if you're a Florida at

629
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: what point does that happen? Because I'm looking at it

630
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: right now and it's mighty interesting, it's mighty interesting. I

631
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 1: do want to touch on Oregon. Watch that whole game.

632
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: Washington is not a very good football team, especially offensively,

633
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: but Oregan survived in the rain on the road with

634
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: the target on their back now, in my opinion, are

635
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: they an elite team? No? Can we say any team

636
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: outside of Georgia and half of Alabama depending on which

637
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: half shows up, is elite. No. So as we're perusing

638
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: toward the playoff, and I know Notre Dame beat a

639
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: terrible Navy team and they'll somehow sneak in. But here's

640
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 1: the way I see this right now, just a full

641
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: overview and we're gonna talk about it all week. We

642
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: have David Pollock, Peter Burns, a bunch of people coming

643
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,400

Speaker 1: go check it out. Just type in the volume on YouTube.

650
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: It's really easy. You'll see we put out a ton

651
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: of content on the Volume YouTube channel, and it's gonna

652
00:39:54,640 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: keep coming. It's only going to increase. But but when

653
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: I look at the landscape and I look at it

654
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: all together, I've given you my top four Georgia Bama

655
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: two Oregon three, Ohio State four right now, and you

656
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: look ahead to next weekend, and you look ahead at

657
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: these games, it tends to always work itself out. But

658
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: it's almost like it's setting up for Alabama gonna get

659
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: in with two losses. Here's why. Let me take you

660
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: through it. Oklahoma is going to lose a regular season game,

661
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is it next week at Baylor? Is

662
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: it Oklahoma State? They are going to lose one the

663
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: acc now that Wake has lost, and again, when you

664
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: don't have a defense, eventually it catches you. And Wake's

665
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: schedule was on the front side, was very easy. Now

666
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: on this backside, we're really going to find out. They

667
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: could lose every game they play winding out the season.

668
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: But I think Oklahomama loses a game. Ohio State doesn't

669
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: have the easy schedule to close out. They get per

670
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: Due at home next week. Michigan State took that loss.

671
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: We all know. But there's a couple of games I

672
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: want you to keep your eye on this weekend. Notre

673
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: Dame goes to Virginia, Virginia coming off a bye. I'm

674
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: putting Notre Dame officially today early in the week. Whether

675
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: you're listening to this Sunday or Monday, I am putting

676
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame on upset alert this week. Go ahead and

677
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: call the dogs out on that one. A and M

678
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: goes to Old Miss, And let's look at this SEC

679
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: West situation for a second, because it is fascinating as

680
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: we're coming down the stretch, especially after seeing the way

681
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: that Alabama just played. So let's look at Old Miss. First.

682
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: Old Miss has lost to Alabama and to Auburn. Okay,

683
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 1: we know that's that's that's pretty easy because there's three

684
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: teams that are really kind of involved down in this

685
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: stretch run that can have a chance to win the West.

686
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: And you look at Old Miss the rest of their schedule.

687
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: They get A and M at home, they get Vandy

688
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: at home, and they go to Mississippi State. Okay, they've

689
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: already lost to Auburn and Alabama, and if you look

690
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: at their overall record A SEC losses, they've lost one

691
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: SEC game over excuse me, two SEC games overall. Auburn

692
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: and A and M beat Tennessee beat LSU. This is

693
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: a huge game for them in A and M because

694
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: because if an M wins out, they've got Ole Miss

695
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: and LSU that Old Miss an LSU. If A and

696
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: M wins out and Auburn beats Bamma, A and M

697
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: goes because they beat Auburn and Bama, and you'd each

698
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: have two SEC losses in the West. If A and

699
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: M goes and loses to Old Miss and Auburn wins

700
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: out including beating Pama, Auburn goes to the SEC Championship

701
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: with two SEC losses because that would give A and

702
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: M three SEC losses that they lost at Old Miss.

703
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 1: All Alabama has to do is just went out. That's it.

704
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: They control their own destiny. Alabama is now the only

705
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: team in the West that controls their own destiny. So

706
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: you could possibly see there are two chances from two

707
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: different teams of a three loss overall team going to

708
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: the representing the SEC West in the championship game. And

709
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: then you look at the rest of the matchups. Next week,

710
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: Auburn gets Mississippi State at home in a huge game,

711
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: and that's a scary one for Auburn. That's a scary

712
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: one for Auburn. I must win the proverbial must win.

713
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: You've got NC State going to Wake Forest, and what

714
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: should be a good game not as big now because

715
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: we know Wake Forest lost, Washington State goes to Oregon.

716
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't see Oregon having a problem with Washington State,

717
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: especially the way Washington State's playing lately. And there's some

718
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: good there's some other good games mixed in. I mean,

719
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: you've got Minnesota and Iowa and a couple here and there.

720
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: But when you look at next week, you got Cincinnati

721
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: at South Florida, and I'm telling you, somebody is gonna

722
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: beat Cincinnati, whether it's SMU. South Florida put up a

723
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: ton of points against Houston, probably played as well as

724
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: they've played all season, especially offensively, and Jeff Scott, even

725
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: though they're two and seven, they're playing much better football

726
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: than they did at the beginning of the season. But

727
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: there is a sneaky game in here. Everybody there is

728
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: a sneaky game. George has got to go to a

729
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee team that believes right now and they play a

730
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: style that I am very interested to see how Georgia

731
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: plays it. The difference in Georgie and everybody else they've

732
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: played is that Georgia has a lot of depth. That's

733
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: one way to be able to combat that warp speed

734
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 1: is to have depth. Now, is that the only answer

735
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: is that the only saving grace. No, no, but it's

736
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: great to have. It's great to have, just like it's

Speaker 1: college football. We'll haulate you later. The
