I'm your host Mike Calvaries, and this 11 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: is a special Week one episode for college football, leading 12 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: up to the full slate Week zero. Now in the book, 13 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm joined by Action Network's own college football insider Brett 14 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: McMurphy for a news and notes edition of the pod. So, 15 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, we're gonna run through week zero, we're 16 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: gonna tie up some loose sense. We're gonna get you 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: ready for the first full slate of college football starting 18 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: on Thursday, running all the way through Labor Day. And 19 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: we'll start with Week zero. Georgia Tech scoring their first 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: Top ten upset in nine years. It was a clean 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: game in Dublin. Zero turnovers between the two teams, Florida 22 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: State failing to register three hundred yards of total offense. 23 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: But I thought this was the stat of the game. 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: Florida State punted it away with six to eighteen remaining 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: in the third quarter. They would have the ball just 26 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: once for the remainder of the game. Georgia Tech played 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: keep away. They won an eleven play touchdown drive, and 28 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: then with an opportunity to drain the clock kick a 29 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: game winning field goal, they go for twelve plays. They 30 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: set up Aidenburgh for the game winner from forty four 31 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: yards out twelve minutes and fifty five seconds. That's how 32 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: much the Yellow Jackets burned on their final two drives 33 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: playing keep away. And now this really ties into something 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: that I think you and me are on the same 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: page here at the ACC we thought would be wide 36 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,639 Speaker 1: open a top ten team going down immediately only helps. 37 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: Do you feel even better about your Hokies ticket spread? 38 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? I do, Mike. But I'm surprised because I talked 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 4: to Mike Norvel over the summer and he told me 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 4: that he thought this was the best offensive line that 41 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: Florida State had. He thought defensively, even though they lost 42 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 4: a lot of guys in the NFL. They had a 43 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 4: lot of guys that had not necessarily had a lot 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 4: of starts, but had played a lot of plays last 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 4: year and didn't see a big drop off. But you're right, 46 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 4: Georgia Tech played keep away. You know, Brent Key said 47 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 4: after the game, run the damn ball. That's exactly what 48 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: they did. Eight possessions for each team, the fewest since 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 4: twenty twenty. I saw somebody reference that, So, yeah, it 50 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 4: was a perfect game plan by Georgia Tech. And yeah, 51 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 4: I for my preseason Bowl projections, I had playoff projections. 52 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 4: I had Miami went in the ACC, Virginia Tech getting 53 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 4: a large bid from the ACC, and I didn't have 54 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 4: Florida State getting into the playoffs. So they didn't show me. Look, 55 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 4: they can still get there, but certainly they've got to 56 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 4: be a different team. And something else, Mike, I'm sure 57 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 4: you saw this too, is Florida State either can't throw 58 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: the ball downfield or they don't have the confidence for 59 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 4: dju to throw the ball down the field. And that's 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: that's not a winning Daily Devil in my mind anyway. 61 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the air yard numbers were just shocking. That graphic 62 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: was thrown around on social media that he had negative 63 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: air yards at one point, I think twelve attempts into 64 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: the game. So it'll be interesting to see if they 65 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: take the governor off this offense they forced the ball downfield, 66 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: or if this is a known limitation that they already 67 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: have and they just need to get creative in terms 68 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: of stretching the field horizontally to try to get people 69 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: in open space. But certainly alarm Bell's going off for 70 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: all those fans in Tallahassee. Now. You mentioned that there 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: were so few drives on that game, one of the 72 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: lowest totals in the past five years. I saw something 73 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: this weekend as well, in Week zero that I had 74 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: never seen in the college football game, and it was 75 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: an ejection mid play for spitting. So Brandon Crossley from 76 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: SMU was tossed, but apparently it was retaliatory according at 77 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: least to his head coach, that people had been spit 78 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: on during the game. Jordan Hudson, a wide receiver, say 79 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: that he said that he was on the receiving end 80 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: of it. That wasn't a penalty, but certainly a Kepta 81 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: Nevada alive. They had multiple drives extended through penalties and 82 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: they throw a big scare into SMU. Were you surprised 83 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: that SMU, the first game in the ACC has a 84 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: huge favorite, did not come out and play all that well. 85 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: They looked for a long stretch of that game like 86 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: a really poorly coached team. And he addressed it a postgame, 87 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: he said, you know, we played emotionally and not passionately, 88 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: and there's a fine line between the two. But were 89 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: you surprised to see the Ponies nearly get upset in 90 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Week zero? 91 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean they were four touchdown favorite, and for 92 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 4: any Seinfeld fans out there, that was one magic loogie. 93 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 4: You know, there's one thing, and I know I know 94 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 4: Collins high on SMU. I think you are two season wise. 95 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 4: There's one thing again, just blindly including SMU. Over all 96 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 4: these teams moving into new conferences. We have a database 97 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 4: sixteen schools have made the jump in the last thirteen years. 98 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 4: Only three of those sixteen have had a winning conference 99 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 4: record in their first year in their new league. This 100 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 4: was not a conference game. But for people just to 101 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 4: automatically think SMU is going to jump up into a 102 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 4: power league and compete at the highest levels, I think 103 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 4: you're mistaken. Maybe they'll prove me wrong. Certainly, struggling against 104 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: Nevada is not a good debut. But again, at the 105 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 4: end of the year, nobody's going to care if you 106 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 4: won by five points or fifty points. They won and survived. 107 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 4: You know the old cliche if you don't have if 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: you have two quarterbacks, you don't have any quarterbacks. I 109 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 4: know your boy Preston Stone was in there most of 110 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: the game, but he, you know, did split some time. 111 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 4: Is that kind of you know, raise its head as 112 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 4: we get into ACC play, But you know, look they 113 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 4: survived in advanced I think Nevada made some strategic cause 114 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 4: that cost him in the game. They went forward around 115 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 4: midfield that I thought they'd punted deep the way their 116 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 4: defense was playing, But ultimately Smu found a way to 117 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 4: pull it out and Stone made a huge, huge pass 118 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 4: to the tight end backed up his own goal line 119 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 4: that really turned the game around. But yeah, I just 120 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 4: for people who just blindly think Simu is going to 121 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 4: come in here and you know, run roughshod over the ACC, 122 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: I think they're mistaken. They don't have the depth that 123 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 4: these other power schools have. Obviously, Nevada is not a 124 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 4: power school. 125 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: The one positive note I will toss in forsmu rg 126 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Merrill on their tight end looked incredible. He caught the 127 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: game winning touchdown. He seems like he's destined for NFL riches, 128 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, at least to be a mid round draft pick, 129 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: because he was a matchup issue on the perimeter. We'll 130 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: see how much they go to him and crunch time 131 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: throughout the season. Closing out Week zero, Nevada Montana State, 132 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: that game was electric and I think it was a 133 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: nice little surprise for College of Ball fans. That line 134 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: kept creeping up. I think it opened at nine and 135 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: a half, it closed at fourteen. There was a sense 136 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: that Montana State, who will be competing for the FCS 137 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: National Championship this year at least as a top five 138 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: team coming out of the preseason, that they were just 139 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: going to roll over the Lobos. They did not. Lobo 140 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: score two defensive touchdowns, but at the end of the game, 141 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: Montana State scores the final twenty one points, including I 142 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: believe it was a ninety three yard rushing touchdown. They 143 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: score with ten seconds remaining to win the game, and 144 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 1: New Mexico left points on the board, missing two field 145 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 1: goals and losing by four, but critically covering the number 146 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: there and then finally out on the island, tons of 147 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: winds coming off Hurricane hone grounded the Hawaii passing attack. 148 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: There was just no real opportunity to get into a flow. 149 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: Shager only completed fifty percent of his passes, but they 150 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: got out the win. They had no chance really to 151 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: cover that number. I believe it closed at forty one. 152 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 1: They end up winning by twenty one points. In that game. 153 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: Shager scores two on the grounds too through the air, 154 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: so at least some momentum headed into that Week one 155 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: matchup against UCLA. That's a game that Colin has talked 156 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: a lot about. Do you think the Rainbow Warriors have 157 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: a chance to throw a scare into Ucla in their 158 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: first game as a big ten number. 159 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? I do. 160 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: I mean I talked to Timmy Chang at Mountain West 161 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: Media Days and I asked him, are you are you 162 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: going to, you know, maybe not show your entire playbook 163 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: against Delaware State? And he smiled and he said no comment. 164 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: So obviously you know they didn't show everything, and it's 165 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 4: that's an impossible game for WWHI. You know, what motivation 166 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: do you have your six touchdown favorites you're playing. You 167 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: got a power forward school coming to your place the 168 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 4: following week, you know, so, like you mentioned the weather conditions, 169 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 4: you add all that up. Hawaii did not have their 170 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 4: a game. Certainly, I think they can compete with UCLA. 171 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 4: I have questions about UCLA basically, the the entire coaching 172 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 4: staff is no longer there. The Sean Foster, you know, 173 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 4: did not make the greatest first impression at Big ten 174 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 4: media days. Does that mean he's a bad coach? 175 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: No? 176 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 4: Does that mean he's a great coach. No, We're gonna 177 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 4: find out in their first road game. What I think. 178 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 4: What's most alarming or not alarming. Most concerning for me 179 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 4: if I'm a UCLA backer, is I believe there's nobody 180 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: on the UCLA staff that has ever been a head coach. 181 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 4: And how that translate in game one, how that translate 182 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 4: through the season, We'll have to find out. But no, 183 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 4: I think Hawaii's fine. I certainly think they have a 184 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 4: chance to win this game. I believe it opened up 185 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 4: at seventeen, and the over the summer, I think it's 186 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 4: dipped down to twelve or thirteen. That makes sense, I 187 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 4: wouldn't I wouldn't take less than that if you like Hawaii. 188 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 4: But I think I think we're gonna get an entertaining 189 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 4: game in a much different Hawaii team than the one 190 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 4: those sicco's that stayed up at midnight Eastern watched last week. 191 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: Now you're still fitting in some season articles, and one 192 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: that you're working on is that there are twelve teams 193 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: this year with these new super conferences coast to coast, 194 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: there's twelve separate programs that have at least three consecutive 195 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: games versus ranked opponents. We know that Florida is one 196 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: of these teams being fed into the wood chipper, and 197 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: that's probably going to cost Billy Napier his job. But 198 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: of these teams that you were looking through, what would 199 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: you say the one that you're the highest on? But 200 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: you just keep coming back to that schedule. It's like, 201 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: how do you go through a gauntlet where you play 202 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: ranked teams for almost a month straight. Any of these 203 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: teams still positive for you? Or do you think it's 204 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: just going to swallow up most of these programs. Just 205 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: the body blow theory of having to play top ten, 206 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: top fifteen, top twenty five teams week after week after week. 207 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I really do. And of the twelve teams, only 208 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 4: only two of the teams are current that have to 209 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 4: face these consecutive ranked teams are currently ranked, and that's 210 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 4: Alabama and Oklahoma. I think they'll do. They'll do fine. 211 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 4: I really like Michigan State with Jonathan Smith. I think 212 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 4: he'll do. He'll do a tremendous job there. It may 213 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 4: take some time, but he's got back to back games 214 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 4: and consecutive weeks no off weeks against Ohio State and 215 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: against Oregon, South Carolina. South Carolina. Shane Beemer his future 216 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 4: somewhat questionable. Well, it doesn't help that he's got four 217 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 4: consecutive games against ranked opponents Ole Miss, Alabama, Oklahoma, and 218 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 4: A and M. Only one off week in that span. 219 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 4: And then, if you want to really feel bad for 220 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: somebody other than Florida Mississippi State, they have they have 221 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 4: three consecutive games against Texas Georgia and Texas A and M. 222 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 4: And then they have, you know, two games against non 223 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 4: ranked teams, and then they close with Tennessee, Missouri and 224 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 4: Old Miss. That's six ranked opponents in eight weeks. Jeff 225 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 4: leeby Welcome to the SEC, and. 226 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: A quick note on action pro if you listening and 227 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: you don't already have an Action Pro subscription, now is 228 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: the perfect time.

Another list that 241 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: you're putting together that I find to be really interesting 242 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: is most overrated and underrated teams of the past ten 243 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: seasons the college football playoff era, at least the four 244 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: team era, based upon preseason ap ranking and where they 245 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: finish at the end of the year. And I think 246 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: This is a good list to go off of because 247 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: also you can consider this in terms of public teams 248 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: and non public teams, and for the most part, when 249 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: you're on those non public teams, you're getting the best 250 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: of the number, where on a weekly basis with public teams, 251 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: you're paying a premium to go with these name brands. 252 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: Out of the SEC, a name brand like usc LSU, 253 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: you just have to pay a little bit extra for 254 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: the helmet. So just walk us through the top five. 255 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: We'll start with underrated teams that you were able to 256 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: unearth from this College Football Playoff era. 257 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, so real quickly. Like you said, this is based 258 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: on the preseason rankings and the AP pole since twenty fourteen, 259 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 4: the first year of the College Football Playoff, and where 260 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 4: they finished in the final AP pole. So obviously the 261 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 4: most underrated teams are going to be teams that were 262 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 4: not ranked in the preseason kind of no name team. 263 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 4: So you look at the top five, shouldn't surprise you 264 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 4: Northwestern the most underrated team in the last ten years. 265 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 4: Cincinnati comes in at secondc third surprising. Two SEC teams 266 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 4: are next, Missouri and Kentucky. But again, the reason those 267 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: guys are up there is because historically they haven't been 268 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 4: ranked in the preseason. They finish in the final ap pole, 269 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 4: so then they get positive points, if you will, in 270 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 4: coming up with the most underrated team. So I guess 271 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 4: that's no surprise. It's hard to be ranked a lot 272 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: in the preseason and be on the underrated list. Of 273 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 4: the list of that I've got that, I'm not going 274 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 4: to run through it the top twenty five, we'll have 275 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 4: it on actionnetwork dot com today. Oklahoma State actually is 276 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: tied for seventh, and they've had They've been ranked in 277 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 4: the preseason probably more than anybody in the underrated top 278 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 4: twenty five. So they've been able to not only been 279 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 4: ranked in the preseason but exceed those expectations for the 280 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 4: But for the most part, this is a laundry list 281 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 4: of teams that are not ranked in the preseason but 282 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 4: finish in the top twenty five. 283 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: And as for the overrated teams, I would agree with 284 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: you a lot of this list. It's kind of common sense. 285 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: But just share the number one team because I would 286 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: have figured it would have been a higher profile team 287 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: in the SEC. But this team apparently can never live 288 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: up to expectations. 289 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the Auburn Tigers. They are the most overrated 290 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 4: team in the last ten years, and it's not even close. 291 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 4: They've been ranked once eight times in the last ten 292 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 4: years and they have failed to live up to those 293 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 4: rankings and six of those years, and by drastic measures, 294 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 4: by not even finishing in the top twenty five after that, 295 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 4: probably not surprising. USC is next Wisconsin's third. Maybe a 296 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 4: little bit of a surprise Texas A and M. We 297 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 4: saw what happened with Jimbo Fisher, the only coach in 298 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 4: the history of college football to have three teams ranked 299 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 4: in the preseason top ten and finished the year un ranked. 300 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 4: Two of those happened at A and M, once at Florida, 301 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 4: and then fifth is LSU, which may be kind of 302 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 4: somewhat surprising, but again, these teams are highly thought of 303 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 4: in the preseason and maybe don't live up to those 304 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 4: expectations at the end. 305 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: Of the year. 306 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 4: One other little note on this about teams that are 307 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 4: in the top twenty five. Of the most overrated teams, 308 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 4: USC has been ranked nine seven of the last nine years. 309 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 4: They finished ranked lower in the final poll in seven 310 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 4: of those nine years than they were in the preseason, 311 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: and Clemson the only team congrats Dabo, the only team 312 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 4: that is finished lower in the final ap pole ranking 313 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 4: in each of the last five years compared to where 314 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 4: they were in the preseason. Will they continue that streak 315 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four. 316 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: Let's go through a few headlines just in the past 317 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: week leading into the season. I think this is kind 318 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: of the end of the silly season talking season, but 319 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: we had at least one big moment. The Alabama kicker 320 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: Graham Nicholson, who comes over from Miami of Ohio. He 321 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: wins the gros Award last year. According to their head coach, 322 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: he was stolen his quote unquote, we didn't lose. 323 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: Him again, you media people. It's all pretend like, no, 324 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 2: Alabama stole our kicker. They illegally recruit our kicker and 325 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 2: stole them from us, and we live in this la 326 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: la wld, like, hey, let's not talk. I don't know why. 327 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: Everybody knows what's going on. So, yeah, Alabama stall our kicker. 328 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: A couple other schools try to steal them, but they think, okay, 329 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 2: what's the question. 330 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: So real big talk from coach Martin Klein. De Bor 331 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: basically has denied it. If Flatley the whole time he goes, 332 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: he entered the portal, we reached out to him. That's it, 333 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: that's how it goes. So I guess a part of 334 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: me is a little bit shocks because in the NIL 335 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: era and the transfer portal era, you're just used to these, 336 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, contacts between coaches and players, and I understand 337 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: there's still rules and they're still guardrails, but for him 338 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: to come out this strongly, particularly talking about his kicker, 339 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: at least made me chuckle because it seemed to me 340 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: he was either going NFL, you win the Grozi, you 341 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: might as well give it a shot at the pro level, 342 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: or go ahead and get a bag to kick for 343 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: a potential national champion. So it seemed as though coach 344 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: Martin was the only person who didn't know he was 345 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: headed out. What were your thoughts on this stealing accusation. 346 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: I know that it is. There's not a lot of 347 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: value right now in he said, He said arguments, and 348 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: the NCAA seems pretty toothless. But do you think there'll 349 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: be any more of this, even just a customary investigation 350 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: or do you think that's going to be swept under 351 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: the rug. 352 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't see it. And technically technically, Mike, stolen 353 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 4: means you didn't pay for it. He was paid for 354 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 4: so technically he wasn't stolen. Look, Jeff Trailor Utsa Meat 355 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: Meat and j Norvela Colorado State, they've both been outspoken 356 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 4: about Power Conference schools coming after their guys offering money. 357 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 4: But that's the way, that's the way it works. 358 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 5: I thought. 359 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 4: What was fascinating during the NFL draft coverage, Nick Saban 360 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 4: was talking about the corner from Toledo Mitchell and basically 361 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 4: said he kind of I don't think he meant to 362 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 4: say this, but paraphrasing, he said, basically, we tried to 363 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 4: get him, but we could so we tried to get him. 364 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 4: So yeah, this goes on everywhere. But you know, I 365 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: love Chuck Martin. He's incredible. He doesn't give you coach speak. 366 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 4: He tells you what he thinks, and I appreciate that. 367 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 4: I love that. But sorry, Chuck, if you pay for it, 368 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 4: technically you're not stolen. But I can see his outrage, 369 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 4: and yeah, Mike, it's going to continue, and there's really 370 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 4: nothing that can be done to stop this. 371 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: Speaking of breaking rules, when it comes to the transfer portal, 372 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: Kirk Farns and his assistant coach, John Budmeyer are taking 373 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: a self imposed one game suspension for illegally contacting of 374 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,239 Speaker 1: old people Kate McNamara out of the portal, who is 375 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: apparently going to be their starting quarterback this year. Farence 376 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: is the longest tenured FBS head coach and if this sticks, 377 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: this will be his first Level two violation since taking 378 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: over the program in nineteen ninety nine. Is it shocking 379 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: to you that parents flubbed this one? Do you think it? 380 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: First of all, it seems to me that a guy 381 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: who hasn't broken rules in twenty five years probably is 382 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: a stickler for it, and this could just, you know, 383 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: be an actual mistake situation where they contacted him thirty 384 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: six hours early. He leaned on an assistant coach. I'll, 385 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: I asked a pointed question. Do you think this self 386 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: imposed suspension will be enough and this will just blow 387 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: right over and then Caa'll move on to bigger things? 388 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 4: Yeah? 389 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: I do. 390 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 4: And look, Kirk Farnce is incredible integrity and every coach, 391 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 4: every current and past coach, has violated in CIA rules. 392 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: I mean, the rule book is thicker than Warren Peace, 393 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 4: so it's impossible not to violate a rule. You know, 394 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 4: on the scale of rule breaking between one and one hundred, 395 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 4: this is a negative forty seven. So they self imposed 396 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 4: the penalty. He got up in front of everyone, he 397 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 4: discussed it. He didn't shy away, he did no comment, 398 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 4: he didn't do any of that. He did it with integrity. 399 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 4: You can make jokes about his offense last year. I 400 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 4: actually joked with him last big media day. I said, Man, 401 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 4: I go, I think you guys are going to be 402 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 4: a lot stronger on offense. You know, McNamara is not injured. 403 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 4: You know, if you've got the new coordinator coming in. 404 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 4: And I kind of joked and said, yeah, last year 405 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 4: it looked like you kind of had one arm tied 406 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: behind your back. And he laughed at man, he goes, yeah, 407 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 4: sometimes two arms behind her back. So this this will 408 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 4: pass over, and you know, they can start concentrating on 409 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 4: the Iowa State game coming up in a couple of weeks. 410 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: Speaking of nothing, Burgers, if you've been reading the news 411 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: Flora State and ac the ACC completed a court ordered mediation, 412 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: which basically means nothing. It was the Leon County Judge 413 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: John Cooper who initiated this in the hopes of a 414 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: quick resolution to the case. We all know that this 415 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: is not going to have a quick resolution. ACC Commissioner 416 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: Jim Phillips has said over and over again four months 417 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: that the ACC is going to fight tooth and nail 418 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: against Clemson Florida's state attempting to leave the conference early 419 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: without paying those massive exit fees. For perspective, it's alleged 420 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: that Clemson's exit fee just on their own would be 421 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: over one hundred and forty million dollars. Do you see 422 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: any movement in this or is this going to be 423 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: a real slow slog through the courts? 424 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? 425 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 2: I know. 426 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 4: The ACC's taking the playbook out of one of their 427 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 4: former coaching legends, Dean Smith, and that is four corners offense. 428 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 4: They are going to stall, stall, stall, because the last 429 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 4: thing in the ACC wants is for Florida State to 430 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 4: get to the end where they know what the number 431 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 4: is to get out, what they need to do to 432 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 4: get out. Because once that happens, then you've got a 433 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 4: lot of uncertainty going. If the longer you can delay that, 434 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 4: the longer Florida State remains in the conference, maybe you 435 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 4: have a way to rally keep the troops together. Whatever. 436 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 4: But yeah, Mike, this is not going away anytime quick. 437 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 4: If the ACC has something to say about this, and 438 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 4: they certainly do, so this is this is going to 439 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 4: be an ongoing issue, and unfortunately that's going to impact Yeah, 440 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 4: I think negatively, Florida State, the perception of Florida State. 441 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 4: You sought on social media. One Florida State, you know 442 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 4: struggled and you know somebody I don't want to say 443 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 4: his name, but his initials were Brett McMurphy put out 444 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: a tweet that said, weird stat it's the first time 445 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: that a team suing its own conferences never won in Ireland. 446 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 4: So you're going to see a lot of those those 447 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 4: dumb tweets like that. But yeah, it's it's going to continue, 448 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 4: unfortunately for a long time. 449 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 5: This podcast is presented by bet MGM used bonus code 450 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 5: action when signing up to get up to fifteen hundred 451 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 5: dollars back in bonus bets if your first bet does 452 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 5: not win.

Terms and conditions apply. Must be twenty one 455 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 5: plus gambling problem called one eight hundred gambler. 456 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: Let's finish with a bit of a feel good story. 457 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll returning to USC not to coach, but to 458 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: teach a class. According to university officials, he has agreed 459 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: in principle, but the class itself, the topic has not 460 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,239 Speaker 1: been selected. I'll phrase it too you this way. If 461 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: there was a current FBS head coach offering class, whose 462 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: class would you want to sit in and which topics 463 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: would you like them to cover? Me? Personally, I want 464 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: to go brand marketing with Coach Prime. I want to 465 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: know how to brand myself, how to increase my exposure 466 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: because it seems like he's just a natural fit for 467 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: a role like that, and it could be interesting. I 468 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 1: know for a fact there wouldn't be any media crashing 469 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: that course. So just be me at Coach Prime and 470 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: the kids circling up trying to build our own personal brands. 471 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: Is there a coach and a topic that you would 472 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: like to be a part of as a college student? Yeah? 473 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: It look good, look good, you play good, play good, 474 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: pay good, pay good, live good, live good. You know 475 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: he good, that. 476 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 4: Good, the late great Mike Leech. Actually he did teach 477 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 4: courses while while he was coaching. Look, there's a million 478 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 4: former coaches. I could come up with one real quick. 479 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 4: Urban Meyer. I'd love to make a class with him 480 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 4: dealing on ethics. Uh, you know for the current coaches, 481 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 4: I guess there's three here, Dion Sanders dealing with the media. 482 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 4: I'd love to attend that class. Dabo Sweeney how how 483 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 4: to traverse the transfer portal ins and outs of really 484 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 4: succeeding at that. And finally, you know, one guy close 485 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 4: to my heart, Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State. I'd love 486 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 4: to see him teach a course on how to dance 487 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 4: after a game doing the Gundy. So also his press 488 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 4: conference moments. Maybe he'll he'll go into that a little bit, 489 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 4: but those those would be three real quick off top 490 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 4: of my head. 491 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: That'll do it for us.
