1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: College football apostles. We gotta talk about the college football

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: playoff rankings, and we have to discuss exactly what is

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: going on this week in college football because I believe

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: chaos is on the way. And I'm George Rerice, a

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: former NFL player, college football player, college football analysts over

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: at the c W, so you'll be able to see

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: me this weekend on Saturday as well. And Ralph Amazon,

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: resident savant, resident rain man of college football and knowledge

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: of things that you would not know. So we got

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. We're gonna cover the games

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: we got, you know, college football playoffs. You guys, make

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: sure that you like, subscribe, get notifications, tell a friend

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: about the show, and most importantly share. All Right, So, Ralph,

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: the college football playoff rankings came out last night, and

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put them up on the screen. But was

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: there anything out of the rankings that surprised you?

17
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: You know, these rankings mean absolutely nothing to me, and

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: I don't care about them at all, and I hate

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: every conversation about them, and.

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: So I don't understand why. I bet you cared about

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: them last year when Arizona's state.

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: No, it just I don't understand why everybody's so mad

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: about it. There's more stuff that has to happen. I

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: cannot imagine. And I saw, like Ari Wasserman said that

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: what's happening with Miami right now is the biggest injustice

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: in the history of the CFP rankings.

27
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the.

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: Word injustice is pretty heavy, Ari, like injustice. Here's what

29
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: I don't understand, George, I don't understand having a single

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: conversation about University of Miami until after they play pitt

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: After they played pitt If somebody does something wrong by

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: University of Miami, if they go and they win that

33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: game in Pittsburgh, they lose that game, what was the

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: point of everybody's gnashing of teeth and weeping? What was

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: the point? This is why I don't want to talk

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 2: about it. If Miami loses, what was the point? If

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: Ole miss loses the Egg Bowl, what is the point

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: of any of this? What is the point of any

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: of this? And so it's just it.

40
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: People are reacting.

41
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: Like a great societal injustice takes place every single time

42
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: these rankings drop. And number one, all they're doing is

43
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: sorting the teams by by win loss record.

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: That's it, Okay, that's the that's it.

45
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: So like we can't be surprised because they've done that

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: every week and number two, how can you breath on Miami?

47
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: How I have tried to explain this to somebody who

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the people who are upset about Noted Dame and Miami.

49
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: So here is the best that I can do for you.

50
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: When you go back to week eight in college football,

51
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Miami is ranked number two in the country. Okay, Notre

52
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Dame is ranked number thirteen. Notre Dame is four and

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: two their number thirteen in the country. Okay, Notre Dame.

54
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: Then I'm sorry. Miami then proceeds to lose to Louisville

55
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: and falls to number nine, and Notre Dame is at

56
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: number twelve. Okay, Because somebody said to me yesterday, George,

57
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: there is no way that you could have ever put,

58
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: at any point in time, put Miami behind Notre Dame.

59
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, let me explain this to you.

60
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: So here's the explanation. Miami falls to number nine, okay,

61
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: in week nine of the playoffs. Week nine, so then

62
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, cool, They're still in front of Miami.

63
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: Everything's fine. Week ten happens, Miami wins wins again, but

64
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: they drop a spot because BYU went in front of them,

65
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: and they were still in front of Notre Dame at

66
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: number twelve. Okay, Then they then proceed to lose to

67
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: SMU in week and then the week eleven rankings put

68
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: them at number eighteen and Notre Dame at ten. So

69
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, what was the committee? What was the ranking

70
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 1: supposed to do, Ralph? Were they supposed to drop Notre

71
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Dame down behind Texas who had just lost again Oklahoma

72
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Utah with two like? Were they supposed to drop them

73
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: behind teams that they didn't think were good because Miami's

74
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: trending in the wrong direction? And then when Miami wins

75
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: a couple of games, should then Miami jump up at

76
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: that point in time in front of Georgia Tech Louisville

77
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: who had just beat them, Utah, Oklahoma and Texas. Should

78
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: they have jumped in front of them? I don't understand

79
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: what people think. Yes, it is, it's two losses or

80
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: two losses, but Notre Dame's two losses are to Miami

81
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and Texas A and m by a total of four points.

82
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Miami's losses were too because you have all these people,

83
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: it shouldn't matter who you lost to. It matters who

84
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: you be. Both of them matter. And guess what, Unfortunately,

85
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: it matters when you do it because you're supposed to

86
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: be picking the twelve best teams at that moment. And

87
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: if Miami's trending in the wrong direction, even though they

88
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: beat a team who's now trending in a different direction,

89
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: what are we so suposed to do? This is a

90
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: nonsensical conversation to me, Ralph. And then you got after that,

91
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: then you got Old Miss people upset. They're like, oh

92
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe Oregon jumped them. In the

93
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Old Miss has played a bye and

94
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: the Citadel and they're head coaches in flux. Oregon looks

95
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: really good right now and just beat the fifteenth ranked

96
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: team in the country in USC who only fell to seventeen. So, yes,

97
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna jump in front of teams when you play

98
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: ranked teams. Isn't this what the SEC tells us?

99
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Also, if you're five through eight, who cares? Who cares?

100
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: If you're five through eight you get to host a game.

101
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: Right, okay?

102
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: So who cares?

103
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: You get?

104
00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: You have to it's a tournament. You have to beat everyone. Yeah,

105
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: I don't care if I'm one or twelve. If we're

106
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: the best team, we're gonna find out.

107
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: Well, I believe that this year that the that the

108
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: styles make fights is more evident than it ever has been.

109
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: But at the end of the year, the best team

110
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: will be the champion.

111
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because you would have survived the entire gauntlet.

112
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: So none of this, this just doesn't It just doesn't matter.

113
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: It does not matter at all.

114
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Until we see the.

115
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: Fol Zeros on the clock of Miami.

116
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: Then are you sure about that?

117
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: Do you? Are you one of the people that thinks

118
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: like it matters because bullying works.

119
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: Yes, bullying does work. That's why the committee is going

120
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: to hear this Notre Dame noise enough and they're either

121
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: gonna dig their heels in or they're gonna be like, ah,

122
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: they might be right as soon as they get close,

123
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: we'll flip them. Or here is the option. Okay, here's

124
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: the other option that I will present to you. Arizona

125
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: and Arizona State are both ranked. This is a big

126
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Territorial Cup, buddy. When was the last time that both

127
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: teams were ranked in the Territorial Cup and one of

128
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: them could end up with a with the New Year

129
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Six bawl. So you don't think this matters? Yeah?

130
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: Are you saying the college football playoff rankings factor into

131
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 2: who gets New Year's Six bowls?

132
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? On some level? Yeah, I mean.

133
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: I don't know it. Like, what do you think they

134
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: take two big twelve teams? Because the only way that

135
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: works is if they take.

136
00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: And we're like, yeah, there's different tie with the bulls,

137
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: and if it's the conference champion versus not and all

138
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: of this stuff, and if Notre Dame goes to the

139
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: college football Playoff, that opens up another spot for people.

140
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: So I have I guess I have two things to say.

141
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm adding anything to this conversation

142
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: because I, out of principle, I hate it. But I

143
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: have two things to say. I do not have a

144
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: retort for the argument that bullying works, because i'd probably,

145
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: like anybody else, based most of my life and how

146
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: I live off of sticking it to anybody who's ever

147
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: bullied me.

148
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: And and like the second thing is, it's so far,

149
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: it's so far outside of my control because the conference

150
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: has got too big. The discussion I would love for

151
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: people to be having right now is how disgusting and complicated.

152
00:09:54,559 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: Every single conference's championship game scenarios are with only one

153
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: week left to go, Like, Indiana might not make the

154
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: Big Ten championship.

155
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: How do you figure that.

156
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: If they lose to there's like two things that need

157
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: to happen, that's it.

158
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: Well, they're not going to lose to Purdue, so you

159
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that one.

160
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: No, they're probably not. But the idea that the number

161
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: two team in the country right now might not make

162
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: their conference championship game is psychotic. Like both the number

163
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: one and number two team in the country could both

164
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: miss They could both miss the conference championship game.

165
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Ay, but but the thing is, would they really be

166
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: the number one and number two team in the country

167
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: of Indiana lost to Purdue and Ohio State lost to

168
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: Michigan Because that exactly see exactly.

169
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: But the idea that we're one week out and like

170
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: Arizona State could make the Big twelve championship through a

171
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: series of convoluted scenarios don't have anything to do with

172
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: head to head. YEP, the secs, I, George, I read

173
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: the SEC championship game scenarios. I don't understand them at all.

174
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: Not at all. And more than that, Miami's currently fifth

175
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: in the ACC and there are something like thirteen different

176
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: ways they can make the a SEC Championship.

177
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: But they're all different. They're all like they they need

178
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: everything to come up right for them. And honestly, I

179
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: prefer that. And do you know why I prefer it

180
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: because then everybody can stop crying about the Notre Dame game.

181
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: Because if if Miami goes to the championship and then loses,

182
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you, fam try again

183
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: next year.

184
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: This is what's gonna happen. What I'm frustrated with is

185
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: I like the conference championship games. The conferences are so

186
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: big and head to heads aren't factoring in as much anymore.

187
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: And like last year's Big Twelve had four seven and

188
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: two teams and it and it was kind of convoluted

189
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: as to how you ended up with Iowa State in

190
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: Arizona State. What this is gonna do is it's just

191
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: gonna give more reason to eliminate conference championships.

192
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, And I don't we love that like that?

193
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: I love it because there are it makes more games matter.

194
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: So there are four big team teams still alive Ohio State, Indiana, Michigan,

195
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: and Oregon. Now, mind you, oh Indiana did not play

196
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Oregon did not play Michigan, and Oregon did

197
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: not play Ohio State. So here's the way. But Indiana

198
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: beat Oregon. So the Big Ten in particular, if Indiana can't,

199
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: can we just assume that Indiana beats Purdue.

200
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: We can, we can assume it. But the stranger things

201
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: have happened.

202
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel safe assuming that, right, I mean, we'll,

203
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: I will deal with chaos if we Yeah, I'm old enough.

204
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: I'm old enough to remember like an eleven to ozher

205
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: West Virginia with Pat White and everything falling apart right

206
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: at the end. So I don't know, it's not it's

207
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 2: obviously not gonna kick them out of college football playoff,

208
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: but it's you know, anything can happen, I.

209
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: Guess, yeah, okay, So yeah, So if Ohio State beats me,

210
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: if Michigan beats Ohio State, and Oregon beats Washington, Oregon

211
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: goes to go play Indiana in the Big Ten Championship.

212
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: Do you want an extra game? Oregon? Guy?

213
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: You gotta play an extra game regardless. That's the thing

214
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: about it. You either play your conference championship game and

215
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: win it and then you get a BUYE, but you

216
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: played an extra game, or you go to the conference

217
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: game and lose and then you're away, I mean, and

218
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: then you have a playoff first round game, so now

219
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: you've played one, like two extra games. Or if you

220
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: just don't make the conference championship, then you got to

221
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: play a first round game and then you play one

222
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: extra game. So either way, you got to play at

223
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: least one extra game, but you could have to, right,

224
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: So I'm.

225
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: Saying, if you don't make the conference championship, then there

226
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: is no two extra games. But if you make the

227
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: conference championship and win it, you probably get a buy

228
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: which relieves it. So would you be fine with not

229
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: even because it's out of your control. You can beat

230
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: Washington and it could not matter, right, So if it's

231
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: completely out of your control, as long as you beat Washington,

232
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: do you want to have to play in the conference

233
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: championship knowing that that could cost you health? It's a risk.

234
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: I thought about this, and I debated on it for days,

235
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: and then I was like, I don't care. I don't

236
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: if he dies, he dies, like I just wanted him.

237
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm not getting ready to like because I despise when

238
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: people try to manufacture like their path. I think that

239
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: if if the things align for you, they will align

240
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: for you. So I'm just gonna accept whatever comes and

241
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: it'll be okay.

242
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: I just want to point out that in the last

243
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: twenty seconds you have articulated my argument about why I

244
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: don't care about the college football playoff debates better than

245
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: I did. How because I don't care about people trying

246
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: to manifest their path whatever happens.

247
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, they're just trying to manufacture themselves in

248
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to manufacture ducks in. I'm just trying

249
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: to you know, live with whatever the result is. Think

250
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: about moms. Think about moms.

251
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: Who's like the dad is supposed to pick them up

252
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: every other weekend for his right, but he doesn't joke,

253
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: he doesn't show. And every single week the kid, you

254
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: know elasticity of memory, is like, man, when dad picks

255
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: me up this week, I hope we go get ice cream.

256
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: I hope we do this, I hope we do that.

257
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: And the mom is just like if he shows, if

258
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: he shows, like temper expectations, trying that not to have

259
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: you get let down and that's my message. That's my

260
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: message to Miami fans right now is Dad might not

261
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: show up. So let's not worry about where you're ranked

262
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: right now because you gotta beat Pitt first.

263
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: Brought. That's nasty work. That is nasty work. All right,

264
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, all right, all right, here is the bracket

265
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: right currently. Obviously this is nowhere near what the bracket

266
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: is gonna end up, because Miami could end up being

267
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: a placeholder. Obviously, Ohio State and Indiana are probably gonna

268
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: have to play each other. We don't know the Michigan result.

269
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 2: You know, ruin this whole thing.

270
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: You know what, Forget the bracket, Forget the bracket. It

271
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: doesn't even the bracket doesn't matter at this point in time.

272
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: That's the one thing I will agree with when we

273
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: get to talking about the bracket, and I do it too,

274
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: But it's not going to be in even if the

275
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: teams are the same, they're not going to be in

276
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: the same order.

277
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: So and you know, I'll talk about anything college football

278
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: at any time. I'll drop everything I'm doing to talk

279
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: college football. This is super uninteresting. I just want to

280
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: get through the final week. And I get like they're

281
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: trying to drum up conversation, but like all of the

282
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: conversation is super toxic and weird, and we're talking about

283
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: betrayal and injustice.

284
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: Those words you think they mean, Oh my gosh. All right,

285
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 1: let's get to talking about these games, right. So this

286
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: is the game that I believe has the biggest impact

287
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: on the college football playoff and how people think about

288
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: it at all. I did not give you the order,

289
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: so boom there it is Alabama Auburn. I believe that

290
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: this game is going to have the biggest impact because Ralph.

291
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: Because in this game you have Alabama who's less than

292
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown favorite, so you know that the odds makers

293
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: are expecting it to be close. This game is in

294
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: Jordan hare Wall Eagle. They have changed quarterbacks to deuce nights,

295
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: so that's a wild card. We don't know what the

296
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: hell is happening. And I in my bold predictions before

297
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: the season. Do you remember what my bold prediction about Alabama.

298
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 2: Was, They're gonna miss the College wall playoff.

299
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: So I stand on business. Auburn wins this football game. Ralph.

300
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: Auburn wins this football game, breaks the heart of the

301
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: Crimson Tide. And then Kaitlyn de Boor bolts the Penn State.

302
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's like, that's a lot of.

303
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: That's a lot of I'm not guaranteeing the second part

304
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: because he might both even if they win. Well, actually

305
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: he won't both if they win, because then they got

306
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: to go to the college football playoffs. But if they lose,

307
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: I think he might be out because he's gonna be like, Yo,

308
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: these people are psychoed down down here. This is ridiculous

309
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: that my family's not safe. I'm getting out of here.

310
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to to somewhere where football matters and the

311
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: people are saying.

312
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 2: Besides just manifesting your early season prediction, what do you

313
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: believe to be true about Auburn having a shot in

314
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: this game.

315
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: Alabama can't run the football. They've run for like eleven

316
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: hundred yards on the entire season. Auburn, they are not

317
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: great against the past. However, Auburn is really good against

318
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: the run. So if they can stop the run with

319
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: a lighter box and focus on the pass game, it's

320
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: This is very, very, very similar to the Oklahoma game,

321
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: except I believe that Deuce Night provides such a wild

322
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: card in this football game because he is so dynamic

323
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: with his legs and if he just has the game

324
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: of his life, like because he's too stupid and young

325
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: to like And I don't mean stupid in the bat,

326
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying like, he's so inexperienced and like, yeah, that

327
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: that you don't even know to feel the pressure. So

328
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: this is why I'm picking Auburn in this game.

329
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So when you said the Oklahoma game. What Oklahoma game?

330
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Alabama?

331
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: Which one?

332
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh my god, that was that was last

333
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: year Jesus Christ.

334
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, it was two weeks ago. Yeah,

335
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: they lost both times. But do you remember what happened

336
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: in last year's Oklahoma Alabama game?

337
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oklahoma beat the hell out of them, and and

338
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold ran for like the thousand yards.

339
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 2: And and in the event that Deucenite isn't working out,

340
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 2: who is who is there waiting Jackson Arnold. I do

341
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: think that that's kind of an interesting like through line

342
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: that the biggest beating that Caitlyn de Bor has taken

343
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: in his time. You know, it also included the offense

344
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: not showing up and Ty Simpson, Hi Simpson. I don't

345
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: know if I've ever changed my mind more on somebody

346
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: during the course of the season than Ty Simpson. I

347
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: still think he's going to be a unique NFL talent

348
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: and he could easily go out at the end of

349
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: this year. But he now that we have the ten

350
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: thousand foot view on the full season, he hadn't really

351
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: beat anybody. George, Yeah, and he hadn't been playing all

352
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: that great lately. Uh, Missouri is the only top twenty

353
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: five passing defense he's played against an Outside of them,

354
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: Florida State is the highest ranked passing defense Ty since

355
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 2: has played against him their thirty third So maybe, I mean,

356
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: it absolutely could work out in Auburn's favor. Where where

357
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: I don't love it is that dj Dirkin has called

358
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: four different SEC team defenses against Alabama in his career

359
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 2: he has worked for. There are different SEC teams where

360
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: he's been the primary defensive play caller, and he is

361
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: zero and four against Alabama and one of those games

362
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: they gave up like sixties. So he's who I worry about.

363
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: Well, you shouldn't, because Nick Saban's not walking through that door.

364
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: The next most impactful game when it comes to the

365
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: college football playoffs, and this would be a This would provide.

366
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Notre Dame and Miami fans will be

367
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: sick if this happens. Sick if Michigan beats Ohio State,

368
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: Lord have mercy on their souls. Ralph, if this happens,

369
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: they are going to throw up in their mouth. Do

370
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: you think they can What do you mean do I

371
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: think that they can't? They have four years in a row, Ralph,

372
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: and Michigan's actually better this year than they were last

373
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: year in that improbable win.

374
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.

375
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: I just sometimes I forget this game doesn't make sense,

376
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 2: but I just don't.

377
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

378
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: They're they don't have like a big game breaker on offense,

379
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: so it's gonna have to be a rock fight, as

380
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: you love to use that term. Ohio State doesn't really

381
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: let you do anything. They their defense right now, their

382
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 2: defense right now would be the number one total yardage

383
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: defense every single season going back fifteen years, and they're not.

384
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: They don't create turnovers, they don't do anything other than

385
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: say no and shut you down. That's it.

386
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: That's that is a little bit concerning because they haven't

387
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: played a tough opponent yet. Well, they're their schedule. I mean, well,

388
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: I guess you would say Washington. But outside of Washington,

389
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: can you really point to anybody that you're because Texas

390
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: has taken multiple tumbles, who would you look at it

391
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: their schedule because and Penn State was still reeling at

392
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: that point point in time. They hadn't the dust hadn't

393
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: even settled, and then they played per So they got

394
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin when everybody was thinking that Louke Ficker was gonna

395
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: get fired and their quarterback sit situation was a mess.

396
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: Penn State was still in shambles and reeling from being

397
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: getting destroyed and gutted. And then you got Perdue, who's

398
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, on the rise, but they're better, but they're

399
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: still bad. Ucla, who's kind of giving up on the

400
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: season and didn't have Nico Rutgers. I'm not sure that

401
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: you can point to anything on their schedule that you're like, oh,

402
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: they're tested because somebody is gonna be able to put

403
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: up some resistance. But what happens when they get that

404
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: resistance is my biggest question.

405
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll give Michigan this. I think they're better in

406
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: a phone booth than Washington was. Washington actually moved the

407
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: ball pretty well, especially considering everybody else's experience against Ohio State.

408
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: But once they got within thirty yards the end zone,

409
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: it gets really ugly. I think this is a special

410
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: Ohio State defense, and I guess if they can't score points,

411
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: then it comes down to a kicker. Maybe that's the difference.

412
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: You know, Dominic Zavada was the leading scorer in last

413
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: year's game, but he's not been good this year. You know,

414
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: he's twenty one to twenty two last year. This year,

415
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: I think he's hitting fifty percent in his last five

416
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: or six games. So you know, even when the one

417
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 2: guy that you depended on last year also isn't showing up,

418
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: it just makes me super nervous. Bryce Underwood is young.

419
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: They don't really have like a dynamic offensive guy. But

420
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: I guess you just need one or two plays here

421
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: and there. It probably just comes down to defense. What

422
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 2: Michigan is able to do defensively, and they you know,

423
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: they they're decent. They're decent. They're fifteenth in points allowed

424
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: and twelfth in rush yards allowed. So this is it, George,

425
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 2: you wanted Julian Saying to have his heisman moment. If

426
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: they win, this could be it.

427
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: Ohio State's a ten point favorite. Bryce Underwood has some

428
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: turnover problems and he's gonna have to throw the ball

429
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: well in this game. I got Ohio Stay by two touchdowns.

430
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: Who after all that said, Ohio State's gonna cover, I'll

431
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: take I'll take Ohio State, but I don't think they cover.

432
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: Wow.

433
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

434
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: I think that they're gonna tear the cover off they

435
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: ass the next game up. Now. A lot of people

436
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: are counting this team out, Ralph, I myself am not

437
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: counting these boys out just because of last year's game

438
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: and because of and I believe that this could mess

439
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: up the college football talking points as well. Georgia Georgia

440
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: Tech game is in the Mercedes Been super Dome. Everything

441
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: about this game Ralph has like says that Georgia should

442
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: absolutely win this football game.

443
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, Georgia Tech stinks outside of one player.

444
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is a thirteen and a half point favorite

445
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: in this game. I'm sorry, Georgia is Georgia is. You

446
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: might cut Brent Key open and see what colors he bleeds,

447
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: and it might be Georgia Tech colors. But that doesn't

448
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: mean I am less convinced that he will be wearing

449
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: this logo next year, less him less convinced only because

450
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: he hasn't signed an extension yet. But I think that

451
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: Clark Lee and but but here's the other part. I

452
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: do believe that Brent Key at Georgia Tech and Clark

453
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Lee at Vanderbilt are waiting on everybody else to get

454
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: their deals to figure their deal out. So I think

455
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: that they've probably assured their people like, yo, I'm not leaving,

456
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: but what we need to do this deal right after

457
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: everybody else get gets their deals done, and they like

458
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: got a handshake, wek nod nod deal.

459
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: The I The only way I would want to see

460
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: Brent Kee leave Georgia Tech is if he gets a

461
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: wild hair in a pine box. No, no, not in

462
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: a pine box. That titan's job. It's just we've we've

463
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: seen how like some of these like you know, former

464
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, inspirational, heart on your sleeve leaders you know,

465
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: have done at the NFL level. And he's a good

466
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: leader of men. Maybe and maybe he'll he'll drag Haynes

467
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: King up with him and they can use him like

468
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: taysa mill exactly. I just Georgia Tech has not been

469
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: good anywhere except for.

470
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: And the getting scorched.

471
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine Georgia fans would be horrified.

472
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: Is there a situation where Georgia ends up three losses

473
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: and out of the college football playoffs?

474
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: No? I think that if they end up in the

475
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: SEC Championship, that you're that the two teams in the Oh, well,

476
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: one of the teams in the SEC Championship last year

477
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: didn't get in in tex A and m SO, but

478
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: that was their fourth loss. So I think both SEC.

479
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: A loss to Georgia Tech would end up being a

480
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: good loss and then they we'd get to go to

481
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: the A SEC Championship. Right, Maybe it's so convoluted. I

482
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be like, give me forty two to

483
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: twenty one Georgia.

484
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I believe that we're headed for chaos this weekend,

485
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: and this is a potential chaos game, even though I

486
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: don't see it happening. I just want everybody to acknowledge

487
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: and see, chaos is possible. It is definitely possible. All right,

488
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: let's get to the next game. All right, I am

489
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: there's an entire breakdown, just like of the Iron Bowl,

490
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: there's an entire breakdown of this game. Oregon versus Washington.

491
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: Oregon is a six and a half point favorite. Ralph

492
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: on my like, I have given my entire opinion about

493
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: this on a video, So with that, I'll say Ducks

494
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: minus six, Ducks by million. No, no, no, on a serious note,

495
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: more than two touchdowns.

496
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Washington is so good at home, and I think

497
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: this will be closer than the usc Oregon game. And

498
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: you and I haven't had an opportunity to talk about

499
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: that game, but I actually walked away. I respect usc

500
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 2: Io that it was a good effort. They got beat

501
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: by a better team, but I actually thought they I

502
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: thought they did some things in that game that I

503
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: was like, oh, maybe they're on the right track. But

504
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: I think that Washington will will be closer in the

505
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. Then you're comfortable with them being I think

506
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: it's a ten point Oregon win, but I think it's

507
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: I think it's within one score in.

508
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: The fourth Ooh okay, no, Jacob Manu for them. They're

509
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: their linebacker. They're not going. Jonah Coleman is kind of

510
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: he had a you know, a lunch box size knee

511
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,239
Speaker 1: brace on in the UCLA game. Denzel Boston has been

512
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: beat up a little bit.

513
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm excited about in this game is

514
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: because of what Cooper Perry might play, right, So.

515
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: No, No, he's been playing every week, bro.

516
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: But he's like possibly like expanded role because of some

517
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: injury issues I heard. Yeah, is that?

518
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: Yes?

519
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: Is that true? Like maybe some more snaps than usual.

520
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: I've been covering Cooper Perry and des Roebucks since they

521
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: were like fifteen, and they're about to share a field together,

522
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: and I don't they I don't think they ever really

523
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 2: got to play against each other at the high school level.

524
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: So that that's the thing I'm really excited for in

525
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: this game. I hope everybody has fun Oregon safe regardless. Right,

526
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: they're going on college for player regardless at this point.

527
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: I think so. I think so, I think so. I

528
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: hope so. But let's let's not have to know.

529
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 2: Ye, that's just nice to know that you got a

530
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: nice cold glass of copium and the refrigerator waiting for

531
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: you just in case I don't have that. Yeah, if

532
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 2: he's this week, I'm gonna cry in the car, all.

533
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: Right, all right, the next game that we have to

534
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: talk talk about this one is I believe that this

535
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: is chaos incoming, Ralph, chaos incoming, because this is what

536
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: he deserves, because he's a chaos maker. That is Lane Kiffin,

537
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: an old miss in Mississippi State. He's a chaos maker.

538
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: He has made every bit of chaos that is surrounding

539
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: this team right now. It's of his doing. So, so

540
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: I am not gonna feel sorry for him or anybody

541
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: else at all.

542
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know. I like I like Jeff Levy,

543
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: I like Blake Shape, and I would like to see

544
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: Mississippi State win this game and go to a bowl

545
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 2: they're hosting. Yeah, why not? Why not? I actually don't

546
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: think Oh Miss is that good. I think their quarterback

547
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: is electric and has not received the Heisman hype he deserves.

548
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 2: Other than that, I think that they I think last

549
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: year's team would would curb stomp this year.

550
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: I do too, Ralph, I do too. This opens defense

551
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: is not great. They've been walking through the rain drops.

552
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: They got the they got the one win over Oklahoma

553
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: while while Jeometerier hasn't been playing well. But outside of that,

554
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: what do they have? They got Georgia State, Kentucky, Arkansas,

555
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: Twu Lane a just a. I don't even know how

556
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: you would describe LSU. They've just fallen apart. They almost

557
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: lost to Washington State only a three point win. They

558
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: lost to Georgia, then they beat Oklahoma and then South Carolina,

559
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: Citadel and Florida, Like, what are what are we doing? Yeah,

560
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: theys Oregon loses, they're not getting back in front of them.

561
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: You don't often have a team that's ranked in the

562
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: top ten at the end of the season that defensively

563
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: isn't touching any of those categories. They're fifty fourth against

564
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 2: the run, their twenty ninth in total points, they're pretty

565
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: decent against the pass, and they get out in front

566
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: of teams and that's kind of been their saving grace.

567
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's risky. It's risky. If All

568
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: Miss wins, nobody's gonna be surprised at all. But if

569
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 2: Ole Miss loses, there also aren't gonna be a lot

570
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 2: of people who are surprised.

571
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: No, because ed Laine kipikn come in here and talk

572
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: all the bullshit that he wants about, Oh oh, this

573
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: is a new era in college football. These kids don't care.

574
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: We literally see it every time that that when coaches

575
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: situation starts to get funny, teams start playing weird. So

576
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: we'll see if they start playing.

577
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 2: Weird because your players are thinking about where they're gonna

578
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: play football next year. Yes, that's the effect that it has,

579
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: Like am I gonna be here next year or not?

580
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: Would not be creeping into his players minds. The quarterback

581
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't have to go out and post on social media

582
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: that like, hey, we we just control what we can control.

583
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: I at this point, it feels like.

584
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: If you don't know, then that should be your answer,

585
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 2: Like what do you mean I got all the money

586
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: in the world being thrown at me and I don't

587
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: know if I should leave?

588
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Well, then you know what do you mean you don't know?

589
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: If you don't know that I should did stay your ass?

590
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: Put man like that.

591
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 2: This is like, yeah, you got you got a girl

592
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: at home and she cooks, and she takes care of

593
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 2: you when you're sick, and she helps with everything, and

594
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: you guys got a great relationship. And a girl walks

595
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 2: up to you at the club and asks if you

596
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 2: want to go home with her? This the second that

597
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: you're like, well, I don't know, then you know.

598
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: Yes.

599
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: And the fact that he's drugg out this long. I

600
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 2: think he just means he wants people talking about him,

601
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: and we are.

602
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: But it's not I believe with this dude, I told

603
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: you what, I believe. I think that he's trying to

604
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: get old miss people so fed like, whether it's conscious

605
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: or subconscious, he's trying to get old miss people so

606
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: fed up with with with him that they're just like, dude,

607
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: just freaking leave, Just just just just.

608
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: Go for permission. I'll make you hate me so that

609
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: I feel less guilty. Yeah, I guess. I just it's weird. Man.

610
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: He's got a really good thing going and he's gonna

611
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: step He's gonna step into a situation if he leaves

612
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: where there is no grace at all.

613
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: Ralph, can you please explain to me? kN And I

614
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: don't want this to sound anyway like I'm disparaging Lane Kiffin.

615
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: I believe he's a good football coach. I don't understand

616
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: why we're fighting O we is in the these schools?

617
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: Why Florida Old Miss? I mean, I understand why why

618
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: old Misses? But but lsu like, why are we fighting

619
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: this desperately over a dude who's made one conference championship

620
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: and NESSA when he was at FAU. He's a journeyman.

621
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: He has burned everything down where he's been all the time,

622
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: Like he's created chaos everywhere, Like why are we chasing

623
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: him down for that? I understand why people want him, like,

624
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: let's but but the level of desperation feels desperate.

625
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 2: The desperation feels desperate. Uh, it's scarcity. It's scarcity. I

626
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: didn't really care about having hand sanitizer in my house

627
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 2: till some dude who's buying it up and storing his garage.

628
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 2: It's that's all it is, Like what else is available

629
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: outside of this? We made the decision to fire our coach,

630
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 2: we better go and get the hottest name. If you

631
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: look at the hires that are happening right now across

632
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: college football, it's nobody who's name. You didn't hear. People

633
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: are not creative, you know, And so I don't know. Man,

634
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: You're just gonna walk into a situation where anytime anybody

635
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: tells him what's right or what's wrong, he's going to

636
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: look at his bank account and he's going to dismiss

637
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 2: them and he's gonna fall off in the way that

638
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly did. Because you have a level of security,

639
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: forever security that where you're not motivated to necessarily do

640
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 2: the best job anymore. You will have f you money,

641
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 2: and you are a man who is prone to saying

642
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 2: f year. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna give yourself an excuse

643
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 2: to be less than your best by leaving.

644
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

645
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: Did you see the Bretman Murphy thing where he asked

646
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: everybody and there's a lot of yellow and purple.

647
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: Yes, a lot of people, and then one one Titans

648
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: answer about where Lane Kiffen was going.

649
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Tom Delli and you need to have him

650
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 2: on this show. Yeah he's funny.

651
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he punted on the situation. All right, Next thing up,

652
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: This is an interesting game because people are going to

653
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: be punting. I mean, people are trying to dude, why

654
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: do people want Texas in the college football playoffs so badly?

655
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: This is the part that is so confusing for me

656
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: because they're like, oh, if they beat Texas, saying them,

657
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: they gotta be in. They gotta jump Vanderbilt, they gotta

658
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: even if Vanderbilt beats Tennessee, they gotta jump everybody to

659
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: get in. And I'm like, because they beat a team

660
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: who's beaten no nobody in the SEC. Texas A and

661
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: M for all of this caping that everybody's doing. Texas,

662
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: A and M. Think about this. They have not been

663
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: a team in the top seven or eight in the SEC.

664
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: They've been UTSA, Utah State. The Notre Dame wins a

665
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: good win. But but but since Notre dame schedule is

666
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: so weak, even though that they played four currently ranked teams,

667
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: that's whole nother story that Auburn. Oh, so excuse me,

668
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: but then that SEC gauntlet Auburn, Mississippi State, Florida, Arkansas, LSU, Missouri,

669
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Sanford. Oh, it's Ralph. They've only played one

670
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: team that's currently ranked, and that's Notre Dame.

671
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: I have a couple of I got a couple. I

672
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 2: just I've got a couple of stats for you, George.

673
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 1: Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on. First. First, first,

674
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: who are you taking old old missus favor by seven

675
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: and a half points in the Mississippi State game? Who

676
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: are you taking I'm taking Misissippi State plus seven and

677
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: a half. I'm not sure if they're gonna win, but

678
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: they'll they'll scare them.

679
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 2: Ring the bells. I'm all in on the Bulldogs to

680
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 2: cover win.

681
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: All of it. Love, oh god, that would be Oh God,

682
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be great? Text A and M is only

683
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: favored by two and a half points in this game. There,

684
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: let's go with your stats.

685
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: One hundred and sixteenth in total turnovers for Texas A

686
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 2: and M. They're they're not a defense that goes and

687
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: gets the ball back. Yeah, here is the neighborhood they're in.

688
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give you the number, but I

689
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: am going to give you the neighborhood. In yards per play,

690
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: Texas A and M is right next to North Carolina,

691
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 2: Florida State, LSU, Old Dominion, and pitt as far as

692
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: yards per play given up. Okay, where do you think

693
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: that puts them? Like? What range? Some okay defenses there?

694
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: Okay, fifty five.

695
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 2: Twenty five is actually twenty five? Oh because nor North Carolina.

696
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: It's the one thing they've done right. But what about

697
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 2: your What about your rush defense? Because I think that

698
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 2: that's probably an indicator of whether or not you're a

699
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 2: dominant team. Do you think Texas A and M is

700
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: inside or outside the top twenty five and rush defense?

701
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: Well say that again.

702
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 2: Most teams that are most teams that are considered like

703
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: dominant college football teams, they stop the run. Yes to

704
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: say it is has played with the lead a lot

705
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: of the time, which means that.

706
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: People can't run against running as much. Yeah.

707
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 2: So where do you think they are in just total

708
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: rushing yards allowed? Top twenty five or outside the top

709
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 2: twenty five?

710
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: Outside's the top twenty five.

711
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: That is correct, two spots behind number twenty five Stanford

712
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 2: ooh and number twenty five.

713
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: That's interesting considering that they've played with so many leads.

714
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: They actually the place where they have excelled the most

715
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 2: this year is their past defense, where they are also

716
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 2: right next to Temple. They're point seven ahead of Temple

717
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: at the twenty third spot. They're not necessarily elite at

718
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: anything defensively, correct. You know this is a Mike Elko

719
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: coach team. It'll get there. I don't just don't think

720
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 2: it's there this year. And if Texas's offense is clicking,

721
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 2: I don't think a single person is going to be surprised.

722
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 2: You're saying don't let Texas into the College Football Playoff

723
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 2: because Texas A and M is currently overrated, And I

724
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: think that's a great argument. I'm saying you have to

725
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: consider it based on the body of work.

726
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 1: No for hell, no, hell, no.

727
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: You have I do think you have to consider it.

728
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 2: If they win, they're gonna be on the fringe, right,

729
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: they'll be there. It'll be a discussion.

730
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: That means, yeah, it'll be a discussion. But I need

731
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: then need Notre Dame to lose to Stanford. I need

732
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: Miami to lose. I need to I need about eight

733
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: things to happen before I even get to Texas getting

734
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 1: in the college football playoffs.

735
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 2: But it would mean it would be it would be

736
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: weird to have multiple teams in the college football Playoff

737
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 2: that Texas beat and not even have it via up

738
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: for discussion. That's all.

739
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and maybe Vandy.

740
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 2: And possibly Texas, A and M. You get a three

741
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 2: SEC teams that all lost to Texas while Texas is

742
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 2: out in the rain looking through the window like ye,

743
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: they would have if you if you took What's funny

744
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: is if they if you took away the losses, only

745
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: you took away everybody's losses, Texas would have the best

746
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: resume in the country.

747
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: Hm hmm, that's crazy. Yeah, that's interesting. Uh, you have

748
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: slightly changed my mind slightly.

749
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: You got you do have to win your games. We're

750
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 2: gonna run into the same thing where that we yelled

751
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 2: at Lane Kiffen last year. Yeah, like then you shouldn't

752
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 2: have lost.

753
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not getting ready to let common sense

754
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: getting to getting way away in my argument right now.

755
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: So who are you taking? Texas is a two and

756
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: a half point favorite?

757
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 2: I like, I like Texas in this game.

758
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: I like Texas in this game too. I don't trust

759
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: actually text A and M pulls this out and then

760
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: they get dog walked in in the college football playoffs.

761
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take text A and.

762
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 2: M if, but that that begs the question if Texas

763
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 2: A and M beats Texas.

764
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: Because no, tax A and M is a two and

765
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: a half point favor. Excuse me, I'm I misspoked.

766
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 2: But if they win and they go twelve to zero?

767
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 2: Is is do a lot of people vote on the

768
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 2: Heisman before the conference championships?

769
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: You can't any anymore? Okay, So it makes it makes

770
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: we get our ballots now like the day after, like

771
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: the like Jesus Christ. I have to check the date,

772
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: but they come soon like after.

773
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: But it's after those games have been played. Hold on

774
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 2: because that's my that's my thing is I think you

775
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 2: might have a lot of people make up their mind

776
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 2: if you got to undefeated Texas A and M.

777
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So ballots are distributed to electors on December fourth,

778
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: now first a December fourth, but so.

779
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 2: Like while the games are going.

780
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: On, hold on but online voting. The website doesn't open

782
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 2: Okay, so like that that you can vote. You could

783
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: technically vote while like the ACC Championship is being played.

784
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, two o'clock Pacific, five o'clock Eastern.

785
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 2: Interesting, Okay, it could be that could be it. That

786
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: could be could be Marcel Reid if they win this game,

787
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 2: and that could be wrapped up.

788
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: Yep, So next game up Miami at pitt number twelve,

789
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:01,479
Speaker 1: at number twenty two now patent art Nordoozy. I want

790
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: him to lose this game. He deserves to lose this game,

791
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: and only because of the way he treated the Notre

792
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: Dame game. I just don't like it. Like in terms

793
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: of competition, I hope they lose. I hope with everything

794
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: in my body. I don't care if Notre Dame beaches

795
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: by one hundred points. We're just worried about the ACC

796
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: champions Shut up. Miami's favored by seven points. I hope

797
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: they win by fifty, but they but this is Miami,

798
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: They're playing on the road. This is a game that

799
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: they're supposed to win. They're absolutely gonna lose this game.

800
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 2: Excuse saying you're rooting for Miami, but you think they're

801
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 2: gonna lose. Yes, okay, and you this is one of

802
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 2: your I think you you considered it as one of

803
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 2: your bold predictions. At the beginning of the season. One

804
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 2: of your what are your predictions was that Pitt would

805
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 2: finish in the top four in the ACC That's looking good.

806
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 2: That's looking good right now. I think I think I

807
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:02,760
Speaker 2: think it might be money.

808
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yes, we got to make a video going

809
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 1: back and revisiting the bowld predictions and see what boldness bolded.

810
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of them you might not want to revisit

811
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 2: for too long.

812
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: Like I hope Kansas State was not in my Bowl predictions.

813
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: No, that was just in your picked them to go

814
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 2: to the College Football Playoff. But Pitt, if you're a

815
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 2: fan of linebacking, this is the game for you. Best

816
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 2: linebackers in America are going to be out there, which

817
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 2: means I think it's probably gonna fall to what the

818
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 2: quarterbacks are able to do. And the one thing I

819
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 2: know is if that Pitt freshman has a good game

820
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 2: against Miami, you gotta have Miami fans that are that.

821
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 2: This is the crappy thing about. You can't play good

822
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 2: against Miami without getting an offer to play for Miami.

823
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, they are the definition of if you can't

824
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: beat them, join them. Yep, and they like.

825
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 2: It's like when you invite IMG at the high school

826
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 2: level to come play against you, and then all of

827
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 2: a sudden, anybody who played good against them is at

828
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 2: IMG the next year.

829
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 1: Yes, that that's how they do. So be careful.

830
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 2: Pitt look good, don't look too good. I'll pick Pitt

831
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 2: just for the sake of chaos. I want Miami to

832
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 2: just clear this whole thing up and get a win,

833
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 2: get a spot in acc championship. Like they are very talented.

834
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 2: These players I love on that team like a key messador.

835
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: I want to see them do well. But it would

836
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 2: it would go against everything that I've experienced watching Mario

837
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 2: Christabaal coach games in November.

838
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: That's this is my issue. He has a chance to

839
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: break the narrative about him. He has every chance to,

840
00:53:51,760 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 1: but will he do it? Won't he do it at noon? Yeah,

841
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. So who are you taking? Oh yeah, yeah,

842
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: you said that all right?

843
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 2: At the Larry Fitzgerald photo behind me. I gotta I

844
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 2: gotta rep Larry.

845
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: Okay upset potential Ralph upset potential LSU at Oklahoma. I

846
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: don't know how LSU finds enough offense to win, but

847
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: they might have enough defense to keep it close, and

848
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: then anything can happen from there. Because Oklahoma's offense is struggling.

849
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:47,720
Speaker 1: Their running game is struggling. They are Oklahoma is Georgia

850
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: Tech with a defense. It is all quarterback. No running

851
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: game outside of that, and then the and the quarterback

852
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: is if he's throwing. Sometimes Haynes King actually might be

853
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: a better passer than than than John Matterir. You know,

854
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: I like John Matier, but he's been awful mechanically wise

855
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: this year. We knew this.

856
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 2: We knew also though he wasn't gonna have like they

857
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 2: didn't do the greatest job in the portal. Yeah, bringing

858
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 2: receivers in. I think they you know, they blew the

859
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 2: whole bank account on getting here there. Do you trust

860
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 2: Michael van Buren?

861
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: No, I don't trust him. I don't trust not smart.

862
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: But it's not even about them. Something is wrong in

863
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: the water in l s U. How do you get

864
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: Garrett Nessmyer to go from four thousand yards to nothing

865
00:55:55,760 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: to getting benched. We're like Brian Thomas and uh and

866
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: it's the other kids name in New York. Neighbors neighbors. Yeah,

867
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: they were that good. Oh wait no no, no, no, no no,

868
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: Actually they were already gone last year, not that I

869
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: think about it. Yeah, they were already gone, So I

870
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: can't believe it on that. Yeah, I think that that

871
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 1: old lineman that went early obviously played a big role

872
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: in making sure that Nesmeyer wasn't always beat up. And

873
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 1: then you have all this pressure coming into the season

874
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: telling him he needs to run more. The receiver talent

875
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 1: isn't what it was, and you don't do a great

876
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: job in the portal, and your head coach isn't super

877
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: engaged and he's just yelling at people.

878
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 2: And here we are in mid November, late November, coming

879
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 2: off a thirteen to ten wins over Western Kentucky. They

880
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 2: did not finish their No, okay, so what do you

881
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 2: think the line that's why miss? In my imagination, if

882
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 2: I was to set the line for this game, I'd

883
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 2: have Oklahoma eight and.

884
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,959
Speaker 1: A half Oklahoma minus.

885
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 2: Ten Okay, okay, and I think that they oh, you

886
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 2: think they cover? You know what, LSU the last two

887
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 2: weeks is won by a total of four points against

888
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 2: Arkansas and Western.

889
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: Kentucky ralph I have one hundred percent agree with you.

890
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: I think that Oklahoma covers. I wanted this to do,

891
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 1: but but I would not be surprised if chaos broke

892
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: out there too. And then you because dude, imagine a

893
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: mess of the SEC if Old Miss loses, Oklahoma loses,

894
00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: Alabama loses Tenant and and then Georgia lose it. I mean,

895
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: all of those things can't have I'm predicting chaos, but

896
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: all of those things can't happen in the same week,

897
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: can I I hope so. And then you have Vanderbilt

898
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: beat Tennessee and everybody's like, Vanderbilt is the best team

899
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: in the SEC. So this is what Vandy season is

900
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: built around. This game. This game is what Vandy's whole seaton.

901
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 2: They've they've been They've been doing a great job week

902
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 2: to week game plans. I think they've maximized the potential

903
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 2: of this team. I'm not I'm still probably one year

904
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 2: away from giving Diego Pavia grief for being a grandfather

905
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 2: in college football.

906
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: Well, he's trying to get another year, buddy, he says.

907
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: And if not, but he is.

908
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, if he does, I'll be critical. But at this point,

909
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 2: like we still got, you know, like Jeff Simms at

910
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 2: Arizona State is in year six. We get we still

911
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 2: got from the class of twenty nineteen. There was a

912
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 2: game the other day where chub A Party and Jacob

913
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 2: Connover both got in and I watched them play against

914
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 2: each other in the twenty eighteen Arizona High School state championship.

915
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, we maybe have gone.

916
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: To somebody in their ninth year at college football too.

917
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: So it gets it gets hectic out here in these streets, man, But.

918
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 2: This is what this so, this is what Vandy was

919
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: built for. Was this game. I feel like Tennessee has overachieved.

920
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 2: I'm actually super impressed with what Tennessee was able to

921
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 2: do this year.

922
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

923
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for you, but I feel

924
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 2: like that's where you're at.

925
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: I would agree. I would agree. Yeah, I've told you

926
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: there's a.

927
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 2: Lot of pressure on Vandy here. Do you think he'll backfire.

928
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee is a three point favorite in this game. Vanderbilt's

929
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: defense is not very good. They've given up a lot

930
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: of points this year. They gave up thirty to Bama,

931
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: twenty four to Low LSU, they gave up thirty four

932
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: to Texas ralph They gave up thirty eight points to Auburn,

933
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: twenty one to Georgia State, twenty to Virginia Tech in

934
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. Bro this team's this team's defense,

935
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: they give up points.

936
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 2: So you're trying to say Vanderbilt is the ole miss

937
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 2: of Georgia techs.

938
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: There we go. I don't know how I take Vanderbilt

939
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: to win this football game outside of like just dumb

940
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: luck like, but they may.

941
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 2: Have against the past one hundred and thirteenth against the

942
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 2: pass Joeyaguilar loves too, and.

943
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: All Tennessee does his pass. There's I'm gonna go with

944
01:00:56,120 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: no chance Vanderbilt wins this game without without Aguilar throwing

945
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: multiple interceptions. To me, this is what.

946
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 2: Vandy was built for, and so I'm gonna trust the process.

947
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 2: Let's go Commodorees, whatever those are.

948
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: It's a bird all right, game you care about? Huh?

949
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 2: Or is it. Yeah, Okay, I don't. All right, I'm

950
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 2: gonna trust you.

951
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 1: Let me google, but I'm pretty sure. All right, Ralph,

952
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: tell us about.

953
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 2: This motoon band from the seventies.

954
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: Ralph in the preseason. In the preseason, if I told

955
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: you that Arizona versus Arizona State for the Territorial Cup

956
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: would be a ranked game, would you have believed me? No?

957
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: And not from the Arizona State side.

958
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 2: I would have channeled all of the like nervous energy

959
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 2: from hearing that into the biggest I told you so

960
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 2: of all time to all of the Arizona fans who

961
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 2: wanted to fire Brent Rennan. Ooh, because I actually really

962
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 2: really liked that guy, and I thought it was an

963
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 2: awesome hire. And you have been speaking like life into

964
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 2: like Noah Fafida since he was I don't know, like

965
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 2: a sophomore in high school as long as I've known you,

966
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 2: and so you know it'd be one of those things

967
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 2: where we could tag team and I told you so.

968
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 2: But it still makes me very nervous. This is a

969
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 2: big deal. This is a huge deal for University of Arizona.

970
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 2: They won ten games two years ago and then everyone

971
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 2: left except for like five guys, and.

972
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: So yes, I come with bad nos.

973
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 2: You never hit record.

974
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: No no no no no no no, that would be

975
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: tragic news. The Vanderbilt Commodore's mascot is named mister Commodore.

976
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: But this doesn't say because you can have like Auburn

977
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: be the Tigers. But then their mascot is an eagle,

978
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: so I'm still not one hundred percent sure. And then

979
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: and then Alabama's mascot is a it's the Crimson Tide,

980
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: but their mascot is an elephant. So the SEC does

981
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: some weird things. So the original mascot is mister Commodore.

982
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: He's a naval officer who represents the university's namesake, Cornelius Vanderbilt,

983
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: who was nicknamed the Comedy.

984
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I was gonna say, I've been to Nashville

985
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 2: and I don't remember seeing the.

986
01:03:58,640 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: Navy, but.

987
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. A rich guy's nickname.

988
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 2: It makes more sense than most college mascots.

989
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, cool.

990
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 2: That'd be like the Oregons, the Oregon Swooshes, the Oregon

991
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 2: Uncle Phil's.

992
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're talking about. All right,

993
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: all right, all right, Arizona State Arizona. This game is

994
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: in Tempe, you know, I mean after this game, we're

995
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna find out where If you listen to the national

996
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: media where Kenny Dillyham is gonna coach next and it's

997
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: Arizona State, dummies, guess what the line on this game is.

998
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 2: If I if I was setting the line, I would

999
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 2: favor Arizona.

1000
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: Are you a witch? Arizona's favored by two and a

1001
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: half point. Okay, give me your pick, Ralph, you're on

1002
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: Adult Rated. First of all, I want to say how

1003
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: proud I am of Noah Fafida for bouncing back after

1004
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: last year's trash can season and not hopping in the portal,

1005
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: not running from it and just manned up and figured

1006
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: it out. And he has his team eight and three

1007
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: right now.

1008
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 2: It bothers me so much. How likable this University of

1009
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 2: Arizona team is. Like their leading receivers Chris Hudson, who

1010
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 2: like Boomers all over America love because he took a

1011
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 2: tongue lashing from Mario Cristobal at one time and just

1012
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 2: ate it.

1013
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:45,479
Speaker 1: Yep.

1014
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 2: And they're like that that one on our team exact,

1015
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 2: someone who can get just shredded on the sideline. While

1016
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 2: the camera's on them and just be like, yes, sir, yes, sir.

1017
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Same thing about Malik Benson at or in this last

1018
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: week after he got that personal foul and Dan tune

1019
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: him out. See that's how you do it, and he

1020
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: just stood there, yes, sir, Yeah.

1021
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 2: I just again, I hate how likable they are. I've

1022
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 2: always liked Brent Brennan, and we talked a lot about

1023
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 2: him and his San Jose State and all the rumors

1024
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 2: to you know, him getting a Pack twelve job in

1025
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:22,959
Speaker 2: the early years of our podcast. You know, Ismail Madi

1026
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 2: is a great addition from Texas State. Bobby Wade's their

1027
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 2: receivers coach. Danny Gonzalez, their defensive coordinator, was Arizona State's

1028
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. He's fantastic. However, however, he runs a three

1029
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 2: three five. We're not going to be able to throw

1030
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 2: on them anyway. So I think it really comes down

1031
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 2: to doing the one thing that causes trouble for the

1032
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 2: three three five, and that's running the ball forty seven times.

1033
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm gonna give Arizona State the edge because

1034
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 2: they're at home, and because I think they have no

1035
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 2: other choice but to run the ball. And they are

1036
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 2: two games moved from a two hundred and forty yard

1037
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 2: rushing performance from Jeff Simms and one game removed from

1038
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 2: a two hundred and fifty five yard rushing performance from

1039
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 2: Early Brown. So you know that that's what they're gonna do.

1040
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 2: Jordan Tyson's healthy, so maybe you get a big play

1041
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 2: here and there. But if you're watching this game and

1042
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 2: you're betting this game, watch out for there's a couple

1043
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 2: of Arizona players who are on a tear right now,

1044
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 2: trading Stokes as a safety and Genesis Smith on the

1045
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball as well. And then every

1046
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 2: once in a while, you'll, if you're a baseball fan,

1047
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 2: Tray Spivey, the son of Junior Spivey, he will make

1048
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 2: a play early in the game, he'll score a touchdown.

1049
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: And in those games they tend to be playing pretty well.

1050
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Arizona State. I even outside

1051
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 2: the fact that I have to.

1052
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: Why do you have to? I could pick against the Ducks.

1053
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 2: Are yeah, yeah, Okay, let's hope we never we Let's

1054
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 2: hope we never have to find out.

1055
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: You did you did before the season.

1056
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 2: You did make a prediction that there was a game

1057
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 2: they would lose that you changed your mind on once

1058
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 2: you saw how that team was playing. So that's the

1059
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 2: one time I've seen you do it, and it was

1060
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 2: Penn State.

1061
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

1062
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, and hey, Arizona, since we're talking about people

1063
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 2: haven't beaten anybody, since we're talking about people that haven't

1064
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 2: beaten anybody outside of Cincinnati on the road, I don't.

1065
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: I am taking Arizona State. Thanks Jason Sheer, good job,

1066
01:08:54,200 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: hey man. Shots shots must be taken sometimes, never forget.

1067
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: All right, we got a couple games left, we got ooh,

1068
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't foresee this being and I don't I put

1069
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: this in the no doubt game. But let's discuss anyway quickly.

1070
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

1071
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: Texas Tech West Virginia. Texas Tech's favored by twenty three

1072
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: and a half. Cover or no cover, I'm gonna say.

1073
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say cover. I don't want them to. I

1074
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: love Ridge trod to be feisty here, but all he

1075
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: does is what George rich Rod loves to what run

1076
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,879
Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, and Texas Tech is giving up seventy

1077
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game this year. There's sack numbers factored

1078
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: in that obviously, but we're looking at one of the

1079
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: greatest rushing defenses of our lifetime.

1080
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 2: Yes, so I think this one can get really ugly.

1081
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is like hunting in the zoo, Buddy, hunting

1082
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: in the zoo. I'm taking them twenty three and a half.

1083
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:58,839
Speaker 1: You've never heard that statement?

1084
01:09:59,800 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 2: No?

1085
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:08,600
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, well I like it though. Okay, sneaky game, Ralph,

1086
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: sneaky game. There's no cant Can you look up the

1087
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: line on this game? Because what I saw shocked me.

1088
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: It absolutely shocked me. You see F at BYU. There's

1089
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: no way that what I have is correct.

1090
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Ooh three scores seventeen and a half actually moved down

1091
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 2: from opening at eighteen and a half. Okay, people are

1092
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 2: picking b Why you up?

1093
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 1: Okay, okay. This is how I knew something was up

1094
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: because I was looking on my little sheet and there

1095
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 1: must have been a misprint because it says you see

1096
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: F by a point and a half. They must have this.

1097
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 1: They must have accidentally put the basketball score on here

1098
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: or something.

1099
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, no, I think this is a Since UCF

1100
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 2: laid the wood on North Carolina at home, they are

1101
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 2: two and six and they, I mean.

1102
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: North Carolina has almost a generationally bad offense right now.

1103
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:31,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so UCF Oklahoma State last week seventeen to fourteen.

1104
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 2: That's probably not a good omen to then have to

1105
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,799
Speaker 2: turn around and go across the country to provo.

1106
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm taking and BYU wants to make a

1107
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 1: statement to to the College Football Playoff Committee that this

1108
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 1: is going to get ugly. This is going to be

1109
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: a blood bath. So how funny funny if it wasn't

1110
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: to who.

1111
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,600
Speaker 2: Well, if airs on a theate wins, I think it

1112
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 2: would matter quite a bit if you see I pulled

1113
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 2: off the impossible. Very true, all right, Although I and

1114
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: you you think that I'm weak for saying this, I'm

1115
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:16,799
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sure I want to play Texas

1116
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 2: Tech a second.

1117
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: Time, Dude, Nobody wants to play Nobody honestly wants to

1118
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: play to Texas Tech right now, if you're being honest,

1119
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 1: can you see the spread on this game? I don't

1120
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:34,560
Speaker 1: have this one in front of me, but Virginia Tech Virginia.

1121
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 1: I picked Virginia to go to the ACC Championship a

1122
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, and I've been sticking with him. But

1123
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: I am afraid that that that the glass Slipper is

1124
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: going to fall off of this team. So I am confused,

1125
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: and this is the only way it falls falls off?

1126
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: Is a game like this eight and.

1127
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 2: A half for Virginia is favorite by eight and a half?

1128
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 1: I wonder.

1129
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna look up the history of this game

1130
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 2: real quick, because I feel like the Hokies have been

1131
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 2: for the most part, pretty heavily on the winning side. Yeah,

1132
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 2: over the years. And okay, so here here we go.

1133
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 2: It's sixty two thirty eight Virginia Tech and it is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

1134
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 2: nine ten. Well, going back to two thousand and four,

1135
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:38,719
Speaker 2: Virginia has won this game one time. In twenty nineteen. Well,

1136
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: they've won nineteen of the last twenty. It looks like

1137
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech has.

1138
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,560
Speaker 1: And Virginia Tech hasn't even been good.

1139
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 2: Not really. Yeah, this game was actually more competitive when

1140
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:03,440
Speaker 2: you had Beamer at Virginia Tech, which is so counterintuitive,

1141
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 2: but it's true.

1142
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: I wouldn't dare bet this game would not dare. But

1143
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: with that said, I'm riding with my boys, who I

1144
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,839
Speaker 1: don't know anybody from there but Virginia.

1145
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 2: I like it.

1146
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: The butler that I am gonna take Virginia Tech plus

1147
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: at eight and a half, though.

1148
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for Virginia because the player that my son

1149
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 2: backs up on his varsity team, which is playing in

1150
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 2: the quarterfinals on Friday against Thomas Davis's son. His name

1151
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 2: is Dallas Brandon and he is committed to UH to Virginia,

1152
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 2: so uh and one of my all time favorite quarterbacks,

1153
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 2: almost all time favorite college fotball players, Bryce Perkins is

1154
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 2: a is Cavaliers. So what do they say? Who's up?

1155
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 2: Or who? Who will? Whatever? Go go Virginia?

1156
01:14:55,720 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Know what they say? All right? Next game up? This

1157
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 1: is I don't even think this is worth talking about

1158
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 1: outside of them being ranked. But Indiana is a twenty

1159
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:11,560
Speaker 1: eight and a half point favorite against Perdue Indiana. I

1160
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: actually think Purdue will cover well, will be the spread

1161
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 1: here plus Purdue plus twenty eight and a half, but barely.

1162
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:26,919
Speaker 1: I think that half point is gonna come into play.

1163
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 2: Man, we see what Indiana does the teams that they're

1164
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 2: supposed to be. Yes, but this is why you hire

1165
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 2: Barry Otam. Give me Purdue to cover, yeah, because what

1166
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 2: is it to lose? Then it could be a really

1167
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 2: really bad game.

1168
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Yep. Oh my gosh, Ralph, we almost left out this

1169
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: game here. Buddy. Maybe it's because both of these teams

1170
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,719
Speaker 1: are so far in my rearview mirror that it didn't

1171
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: even matter shot shot shots UCLA at USC. USC's favored

1172
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: by is this right? Twenty one and a half? I

1173
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: believe that UCLA quit last week versus Washington. I don't

1174
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 1: know if they can reget it because they're into the

1175
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: season stretch after they got hot was so tough, and

1176
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: now they know that they're not going to get those

1177
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: the job.

1178
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so USC, what's the highest they can finish because

1179
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 2: they don't they don't have the tiebreaker with Oregon, but

1180
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:51,600
Speaker 2: they do have the tiebreaker with Michigan. Right, Yes, So

1181
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 2: the highest USC can finish is fourth in the Big Ten.

1182
01:16:58,840 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: Correct.

1183
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what that's worth, like the maybe like

1184
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 2: the rely Quest Bowl or something like that. That was

1185
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 2: pretty good ones in Michigan last year.

1186
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're team. Yeah, it'll be finished fifth

1187
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: last year because the SEC got the big Tank got

1188
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: four teams in a playoff.

1189
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 2: Okay, hmmm, this will be interesting, So I think, yeah,

1190
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 2: so maybe there'll be one spot behind the rely Quest Bowl.

1191
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 2: But I I don't sneeze at that. I I actually

1192
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 2: thought I think this is a pretty decent year for USC.

1193
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 2: But here's what I here is what I think. You

1194
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 2: beat U c l A Cool. We'll come back to

1195
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:50,640
Speaker 2: them in a second, but you beat U c l

1196
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 2: A Cool. I think we're gonna see what this team

1197
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 2: is truly about when we see who decides to play

1198
01:17:58,000 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 2: in that Bowl game.

1199
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Ralph, I was wrong. Michigan finished seventh last year, Oregon, Indiana,

1200
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: Penn State, Ohio State, Illinois because they all finished in

1201
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: the top sixteen, Iowa, Michigan, and then Michigan was five

1202
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 1: and four as well. Wait, so that's one, two, three, four, five, six, yes, seven,

1203
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: and then Minnesota, then USC.

1204
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 2: So this is a pretty decent performance for USC, and

1205
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 2: what I feel like has kind of been a down

1206
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 2: year for the Big ten overall.

1207
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: I can, I can, I can give you that. I

1208
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 1: can give you that. USC right now is currently fifth.

1209
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: If they lose this game, they would stay in fifth,

1210
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: depending on what happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they would stay

1211
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: at fifth because Washington. If Washington beats If Oregon beats Washington,

1212
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,759
Speaker 1: Washington goes to five and four.

1213
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:07,839
Speaker 2: Iowa, Iowa, Yeah.

1214
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So the lowest that they can finish is fifth,

1215
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 1: and they could have finish as high as fourth. Huh.

1216
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,839
Speaker 2: They will have defended home field right pretty much undefeated

1217
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 2: at home. Yep, it's not I know it doesn't meet

1218
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 2: their expectations, but it's not a bad year. But I

1219
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 2: think we'll I think we'll learn a lot about this

1220
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 2: team and who decides to actually like play in the

1221
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 2: the whole game. Yes, if everybody bails, then you know

1222
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 2: that like this is this is like ice skating uphill?

1223
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, because then the next year is gonna be

1224
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: light light all right? So who are you taking? I'm

1225
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: taking UCLA plus twenty one and a half. I think

1226
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: that they will have some level of fight, but if

1227
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,879
Speaker 1: they get down early, they're gonna quit and lose by forty.

1228
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 2: I have two questions for you. Is Nico playing?

1229
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 1: Yes?

1230
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 2: Okay?

1231
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: In question two from I understand, where would you expect

1232
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 1: Nico to be a quarterback next year? Arizona? If I

1233
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: had to guess first, Arizona State.

1234
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 2: There you go.

1235
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: It's like, damn, that was It was a quick answer.

1236
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 1: You spend no time thinking about it because I had

1237
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: already thought about it.

1238
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 2: I would love I would love to know how Arizona

1239
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 2: State fans would feel about that possibility.

1240
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: All right, and then there are two more games. I'm

1241
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 1: not even gonna put them up on the screen because

1242
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 1: I don't think that they the first one. There's no

1243
01:20:53,600 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 1: chance that this happens a Notre Dame at Stanford. That'd

1244
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: be pretty funny if it did, though, after not giving

1245
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: us any energy. Yes, Notre Dame is a thirty two

1246
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. This would be worse than

1247
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 1: This would be, honestly to me, worse than the NIU

1248
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: lost from last year. Not because Stanford's worse than NIU,

1249
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,439
Speaker 1: but because you had everything on the table and then

1250
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: you laid a gigantic freaking egg.

1251
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 2: In an ideal world, all of the people that have

1252
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 2: been putting me through hell arguing about Notre Dame in

1253
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 2: Miami all are forced to argue over them both being

1254
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 2: nine and three next week. Who should be the number

1255
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 2: eighteen versus number nineteen team? That would be ideal for

1256
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 2: me to have everyone who wasted their breath have to

1257
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:56,680
Speaker 2: continue fighting about it when it fools over into and

1258
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:58,639
Speaker 2: then they meet in a bowl and have to play

1259
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 2: it out again and it just never ends.

1260
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: Yep. You know what team I'm counting out but Utah

1261
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: at Kansas Kansas State rushed for damnar five hundred yards

1262
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 1: on Utah last week and lost fifty one forty seven.

1263
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't trust this Utah program. They get into the

1264
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: college football playoff is gonna be an easy loss behind anybody.

1265
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 2: Can I tell you what I did not post when

1266
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 2: Joe Jackson was in the process of getting three hundred

1267
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 2: yards against Utah?

1268
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 1: What this is good?

1269
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 2: Go to show you how far my impulse control has come.

1270
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:50,719
Speaker 2: H I almost posted damn Joe Jackson treating Utah's defense

1271
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 2: like little Michael, but I didn't hit said.

1272
01:22:55,360 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: All right with with that? With that, we have to

1273
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 1: end the show before Ralph gets the show canceled on YouTube.

1274
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Like you can't even get things canceled on YouTube, really,

1275
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 1: but he's trying. So you guys enjoy the games this weekend.
