Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but there was a point
Speaker 1: today where I had twenty seven different windows pulled up
Speaker 1: in the browser, just practice report after practice report after
Speaker 1: practice report. I don't care that you're not wearing pads
Speaker 1: yet I am bathing in this stuff. We're jam packed,
Speaker 1: we're high top a very steamy, very humid, but still
Speaker 1: beautiful downtown Nashville, Tennessee. On this Thursday, August sixth, of
Speaker 1: our Lower twenty twenty six, you see a top ten.
Speaker 1: Some of you agree with it, some of you don't.
Speaker 1: But the coach's poll is out. The AP pole will
Speaker 1: come soon, the JP pole will come soon. Immunity, But
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, oh, this is et stone, this
Speaker 1: is dried concrete. That's not true. There are questions for
Speaker 1: every single one of you. I don't care how good
Speaker 1: you feel right now, and I know because I've got
Speaker 1: ten of them written. One at least one question for
Speaker 1: all the top ten teams. I've got camp intel. We
Speaker 1: could have five pages of it, but I'll try and
Speaker 1: get through it in less than four hours. Tonight, it's
Speaker 1: a huge, huge evening on the campus of Pate State.
Speaker 1: We're entering the fifth year because we can't count COVID.
Speaker 1: We're entering the fifth year where we will embark on
Speaker 1: a season long cross country tour. And every good tour's
Speaker 1: got a name. Guns and Roses did it, Fleetwood Mac
Speaker 1: did it, Pete State does it? And I tonight am
Speaker 1: proud to announce that we have arrived at a tour name.
Speaker 1: I think it's the best tour name we've ever had.
Speaker 1: I can promise you it's the best tour logo we've
Speaker 1: ever had. But ultimately my opinion doesn't matter. You will
Speaker 1: be the judge of that. We will announce it a
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. All that, plus, someone
Speaker 1: wanted some sleepers and I circled four of them and
Speaker 1: got vehement disagreement amongst the staff on at least two
Speaker 1: pretty anti American disagreement if you ask me. But we'll
Speaker 1: talk about it tonight. Greenville, South Carolina is tuned in Syracuse,
Speaker 1: New York, Spokane, Washington, and Flora, Mississippi. I, by the way,
Speaker 1: cannot pretend that I have not seen the rumors that
Speaker 1: we may be doing a show outside this studio next week,
Speaker 1: maybe even on a campus, maybe even I don't know,
Speaker 1: sitting down with a coach, you know how you are
Speaker 1: when you're on various CAMPI plural of campus across the country.
Speaker 1: But that's for next week. In the meantime, let's dive
Speaker 1: into the show. Appreciate you guys being here, like the video,
Speaker 1: and subscribe to the channel. That's really all I ask.
Speaker 1: It's free of charge, it doesn't sign you up for anything,
Speaker 1: and it helps us out a lot. The Coach's poll
Speaker 1: came out the other day. A lot of people were
Speaker 1: upset about it, mainly because poles make people upset no
Speaker 1: matter what order the teams are in. But I don't
Speaker 1: really care about that so much tonight. That's for later
Speaker 1: in the show. As for right now, I started thinking
Speaker 1: to myself self being ranked number one in the country,
Speaker 1: being ranked number six in the country, that's pretty lofty,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean you don't have questions. Everyone's got them.
Speaker 1: So I was asking myself, what are my biggest questions
Speaker 1: for at least the top ten teams, because I think
Speaker 1: this is important as we roll through camps, because hopefully
Speaker 1: we get some of them answered. But right now, like
Speaker 1: at Ohio State, Ohio State's loaded. Ohio State may very
Speaker 1: well go wire to wire and win the national championship.
Speaker 1: If I had to circle a question for him, I
Speaker 1: would ask about difference makers on the defensive line, not
Speaker 1: talent or lack thereof. It's Ohio State, so this is
Speaker 1: all relative. I'm looking at difference makers on the defensive line.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at star power on the defensive line. You know,
Speaker 1: James Smith, for example, is a guy that was once
Speaker 1: upon a time at Bama and he transfers into Ohio State.
Speaker 1: Am I watching at the midpoint of the season, going, man,
Speaker 1: this is kind of like Caleb Down's two point zero.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily position only because they play different positions, but
Speaker 1: just in terms of gaining big time impact players. Quai
Speaker 1: Rusol kind of forgot about that. He transferred in from
Speaker 1: Alabama too, But on the defensive line, I just want
Speaker 1: to know early on, like we're watching the Texas game
Speaker 1: and they're in town, what does it look like? Does
Speaker 1: it look like Ohio State? Does it look like a
Speaker 1: vintage Ohio State product? And I don't wear Frank have
Speaker 1: many questions with this team, So that's where I would
Speaker 1: go with them, Notre Dame. I'm just kind of rattling
Speaker 1: them off here, but we're gonna hit all the top ten.
Speaker 1: How dynamic are they going to be at receiver, because
Speaker 1: there are not a lot of questions with Notre Dame either,
Speaker 1: at least to me now Jesse. When we were talking
Speaker 1: about predictions the other night and my college Football Playoff
Speaker 1: version one point zero bracket had them winning at all,
Speaker 1: I was told I'm better someone, several someone said, Josh,
Speaker 1: you're better than this, Like predicting a top four preseason
Speaker 1: team to win the national championship. You're better than that.
Speaker 1: You know they don't play anybody like. Schedules are not teams,
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I'll remind you again. But for those
Speaker 1: of you who are schedule gazing and not looking at
Speaker 1: the team, let me spoil it for you. It's going
Speaker 1: to be a really good team. If you're counting on
Speaker 1: them to fall off into the ditch early and often,
Speaker 1: you're probably going to be disappointed. But if I were
Speaker 1: to circle a question, let's look at that receiver room there,
Speaker 1: Jordan Faizon Jaden, greathhouse. These guys, I said in spring
Speaker 1: I thought had the potential to be the best wide
Speaker 1: receiver room that Marcus Freeman's had to this point. At
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, they bring in some star power at tight
Speaker 1: end too, But I'm looking specifically at receiver. If we
Speaker 1: get later in the year, if they got to go
Speaker 1: up against Brigham Young, if they're backs against the wall
Speaker 1: and guys got to go up and turn fifty to
Speaker 1: fifties into thirty seventies and whatnot, can they do it?
Speaker 1: Can they do it against Miami? Can they do it?
Speaker 1: Maybe even in playoff situations? Because I got a hard
Speaker 1: time not seeing them in the playoffs, So Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: I'd say, how dynamic are they at wide receiver? At Oregon? Oregon,
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of preseason number one hype four.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are picking Oregon to win the
Speaker 1: National Championship. I don't have a problem with that because
Speaker 1: it's August. Offensive line certainly is going to be the
Speaker 1: key to how far they can go. But I would
Speaker 1: also say offensive line, yes, very fairly, is the number
Speaker 1: one question. Remember the rule that Memo always taught us,
Speaker 1: Questions are not weaknesses. Questions are questions. Weaknesses are weaknesses,
Speaker 1: So this is not a weakness. But I just, in
Speaker 1: my world of worst case scenarios, if I'm picking Oregon,
Speaker 1: I think, man, you know what I don't want. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get to that USC game. What is that, Jesse,
Speaker 1: like four weeks into the season or something like that.
Speaker 1: I don't want them to go on the road at USC,
Speaker 1: or maybe a couple of weeks later at Illinois, or
Speaker 1: way later in the year at Ohio State. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be sitting there saying to myself to this
Speaker 1: team so loaded everywhere else, but this offensive line's holding
Speaker 1: us back. So that would be a question. And also
Speaker 1: remember this is a very very high level team that
Speaker 1: will have a first year offensive coordinator and a first
Speaker 1: year defensive coordinator. Now they're not new to the program,
Speaker 1: but I think this kind of snake bit Oregon last year.
Speaker 1: They did such a good job that both of their
Speaker 1: coordinators got head coaching opportunities, and Tijs Lupoy took the
Speaker 1: col job and will Stein took the Kentucky job. But
Speaker 1: because college football is stupid, are hiring season overlaps with
Speaker 1: the playoff, and so you had guys doing two jobs
Speaker 1: and whatever. I still think Indiana probably the better team
Speaker 1: out of the two, but I don't think it helped
Speaker 1: Oregon all in that Peach Bowl matchup. So you could
Speaker 1: go the coordinator combo there as well, But I don't
Speaker 1: think Dan Lanning is foolishly elevating guys who aren't ready
Speaker 1: Texas Texas questions at Texas, well, everyone's got them. I
Speaker 1: could say offensive line as a question at Texas. I
Speaker 1: understand all the hype, I understand all the promise. I
Speaker 1: understand all the hope. I've got it too. Hype, promise
Speaker 1: and hope. I'm willing to buy into it at Texas.
Speaker 1: But remember the offensive line there. From a protection standpoint,
Speaker 1: last year, these are unfortunate paper poppers sixty first in
Speaker 1: the country and sacks allowed per game second unfortunate paper
Speaker 1: pop and you know how rarely that happens, especially with
Speaker 1: preseason top five teams. They were ninetieth in overall rushing
Speaker 1: yards per game last year. So again, hope springs eternal
Speaker 1: every single August, and there is definitely reason to believe here.
Speaker 1: But I just I go back to games like the
Speaker 1: Georgia game, because we were there, we were on the
Speaker 1: field for that one and realizing, oh man, Texas has
Speaker 1: still got a ways to go to match up with
Speaker 1: that kind of team physically, but they've emphasized it, and
Speaker 1: they've certainly recruited and they've certainly developed but offensive line,
Speaker 1: like they didn't go wholesale overhaul there. They liked what
Speaker 1: they had. Just need to get another year under the belt.
Speaker 1: We'll see. Speaking of Georgia, same question every year. This
Speaker 1: is a really, really good team. It's a really high
Speaker 1: level roster. It's an extremely high floor every year. I implicitly
Speaker 1: trust Kirby Smart to have a contender on the field
Speaker 1: every single year. And then you're gonna ask, man, but
Speaker 1: do they have a star wide receiver? Do they have
Speaker 1: difference makers at wide receiver? You'll notice this gets kind
Speaker 1: of repetitive year in and year out. You're not really
Speaker 1: gonna question them defensively. You could question pass rush. I
Speaker 1: mean the Maris Williams we thought was going to come
Speaker 1: in there, and he's hurt, he's out. But still Georgia
Speaker 1: finds a way to manufacture production defensively in the years
Speaker 1: where they don't have star power. This they do have
Speaker 1: star power even maybe if not at pass rush, they'll
Speaker 1: be fine there. This will be a high level defense.
Speaker 1: But again, if it comes down to big time championship
Speaker 1: or playoff type situations, because that's probably the conversation George
Speaker 1: is in again, do they have guys that can go
Speaker 1: over over the course of one big twelve play drive.
Speaker 1: Do they have a guy that can do what Indiana
Speaker 1: had guys do last year? Do they have guys that
Speaker 1: can do what in Miami, not not holistically, but in
Speaker 1: Spurts did My default is wait and see on that.
Speaker 1: It's not that Georgia needs it to win, It's just
Speaker 1: that's my biggest question. If I'm asking if they can
Speaker 1: go toe to toe and win three games in a
Speaker 1: playoff type situation. Indiana is outside the top five. Not
Speaker 1: my top five, but the coaches, the coaches across this
Speaker 1: country looked at Indiana and said six six at best.
Speaker 1: You could certainly question Josh Hoover again. I want to
Speaker 1: repeat for the second time, but not the final time.
Speaker 1: Questions are not weaknesses. It is totally fair to say
Speaker 1: Josh Hoover huh well. Kurt Signetty obviously believes in him,
Speaker 1: that offensive staff obviously believes in him. Hasn't he turned
Speaker 1: the ball over a lot? Yeah? Thirteen interceptions? You see
Speaker 1: the graphic there. If you're listening on podcasts, you don't.
Speaker 1: But Bradley is confirming there by punching that button at thirteen.
Speaker 1: Its to his name last year. Here's the follow up.
Speaker 1: He had to throw the ball a whole lot more
Speaker 1: last year then he will be asked to do this year.
Speaker 1: He had to shoulder a lot more of the offensive
Speaker 1: load in theory than he would be asked to do here.
Speaker 1: But outside of that, because that's what everyone would go
Speaker 1: to and with good reason, I'd also say DiAngelo Ponds
Speaker 1: last year was insane, very very high level player, very
Speaker 1: very rarely did you see balls even going to his
Speaker 1: side of the field, And like, it's not that they're
Speaker 1: going to fall off a cliff there. But when you
Speaker 1: have a good corner that rotates out of your program,
Speaker 1: can go get in another good corner and you can
Speaker 1: largely one to one backfilm when you've got like a
Speaker 1: lockdown type guy. Those are hard to replace, not impossible,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you can go Oakland A's circle two thousand
Speaker 1: and two, just place them in the aggregate, but it's
Speaker 1: hard to replace. So I kind of wonder not early
Speaker 1: because no one will test them early. But when they
Speaker 1: get to the mid and latter part of the season,
Speaker 1: do we start to say, and that secondary maybe down
Speaker 1: a notch, especially at CB one, maybe down the notch. Miami,
Speaker 1: I gotta be very careful here. So Miami, I think
Speaker 1: the question would be offensive line play, to an extent,
Speaker 1: defensive line play. But when I say that, I don't
Speaker 1: know how you make an asterisk with your fingers. I
Speaker 1: don't have a pen. I got four of them, but
Speaker 1: I can't write. I can't write right now. The asterisks
Speaker 1: to that entire concept of it being a question is
Speaker 1: both of those may end up being strengths of this team,
Speaker 1: and Miami's O line and D line group of personnel
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to be among the best, respectively in
Speaker 1: the country at what they do. So it's definitely not
Speaker 1: looking at it and saying uh oh, it's looking at
Speaker 1: it and saying wow, hmm. But let's wait and see.
Speaker 1: You're going to start a true freshman at left tackle. Now,
Speaker 1: that true freshman looks like he could be in a
Speaker 1: second year situation with the Baltimore Ravens right now. But
Speaker 1: it is a true freshman at left tackle. You are
Speaker 1: certainly replacing a hillatious pass rush combo. But then again,
Speaker 1: lost production is relative in this sport, and it's relative
Speaker 1: to who you've got to fill those shoes, and in
Speaker 1: some places, iconic game changing players walk out and you
Speaker 1: got no answer. They've got answers at Miami, or they
Speaker 1: think they do. That would be the big question. If
Speaker 1: it's big, it's not a big question. It's like a
Speaker 1: lowercase question mark. Texas Tech's very obvious. Texas Tech would
Speaker 1: just be the quarterback. Texas Tech would be Will Hammond
Speaker 1: because this team's loaded outside of him. Now he may
Speaker 1: end up being part of the loaded equation. Again, we
Speaker 1: don't know. Again, you have an injury situation that he's
Speaker 1: coming back from, and then you had the Brennan Sowersby
Speaker 1: story just dominate Spring in summer. But Will Hammond they
Speaker 1: believe in. And I remember again, I'll remind people who
Speaker 1: weren't tuned in in the spring. When we went out
Speaker 1: there and I sat down with Joey maguire, it was
Speaker 1: during the Brennon Sowersby stuff, and it was before you know,
Speaker 1: like the injunction and before all the spectacle that ended
Speaker 1: up taking place. He and they were of the opinion
Speaker 1: that they probably weren't going to have Soresby, which ended
Speaker 1: up being reality. And so his viewpoint on it was, Hey,
Speaker 1: I got a really good team, regardless of who the
Speaker 1: quarterback is. I got a really good team. So like that.
Speaker 1: You could look at his coach speak. I didn't because
Speaker 1: he didn't have to say it. But they think they
Speaker 1: got a really good team. But they had a really
Speaker 1: good team last year and then they ran into a
Speaker 1: brick wall come playoff time. So the whole question is,
Speaker 1: does will Hammond offer them level up potential or do
Speaker 1: we watch them all year and say, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they're Big twelve good again. But what if they play Oregon,
Speaker 1: what if they play Ohio State, what if they play Texas,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Especially what if they play Texas Ole Miss
Speaker 1: Ole miss has got a tough schedule this year. But
Speaker 1: that's not the question. The question here. I think it's
Speaker 1: got to be pass rush. And it's okay if you're
Speaker 1: number three in sacks last year, it's okay to fall
Speaker 1: off a little bit. You got important guys departing for
Speaker 1: LSU and whatnot. It's okay to fall off a little bit.
Speaker 1: You're number three one year, you're number thirteen the next year.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Is there significant regression that's a problem. If so.
Speaker 1: The other situation is the interior of their offensive line.
Speaker 1: I feel okay about replacing both offensive tackles at the
Speaker 1: very least is a question mark coming into fall camp.
Speaker 1: And look, I don't want to call Trinidad Chambliss a
Speaker 1: question mark. Far be it for me too. I guess
Speaker 1: the only relative question you could have there for someone
Speaker 1: like me who thinks he's the most dangerous player in
Speaker 1: the country is what kind of adjustment does the league
Speaker 1: make having seen him? Now? Everyone's trying to adjust. Some
Speaker 1: of these dudes are so good you can't adjust to him.
Speaker 1: Like Cam Newton could have played five more years, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure the SEC would have adjusted all that much
Speaker 1: to him. How much adjustment happens to Trinidad Chambliss from
Speaker 1: opposing defenses? And then Oklahoma very very easily offensive line.
Speaker 1: I mean, if I had to circle question marks for
Speaker 1: Oklahoma offensive line and run game. Now, the trick here
Speaker 1: is kind of like I said, with other teams, their
Speaker 1: questions could end up being strengths. Doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: the question marks at best become below average production units,
Speaker 1: especially when you got a cat like Fasusi in his
Speaker 1: second year starting at left tackle. For all we know,
Speaker 1: they may have the best offensive tackle in the country
Speaker 1: by season's end, So it doesn't have to be that
Speaker 1: way for all, well, we know they watched last year
Speaker 1: that their struggles running the ball and said no more,
Speaker 1: and it ends up being a net neutral or maybe
Speaker 1: even a strength portion of their overall offensive output this year.
Speaker 1: But how do you not circle those two things? This
Speaker 1: question marks for Oklahoma coming end of the year. Think
Speaker 1: I did good, Jesse. It's fifteen minutes and I questioned
Speaker 1: the entire top ten skepticism everywhere. So I'd like to
Speaker 1: welcome you all into the show tonight. I appreciate you watching,
Speaker 1: especially if you're watching live. We need to have special
Speaker 1: badges of honor that we hand out for that. I
Speaker 1: had a question comment I don't even know. A stream
Speaker 1: of consciousness come in and I've got to address this,
Speaker 1: even though my instinct is not to, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: address this. Will from Princeton, Indiana said, I can't believe
Speaker 1: the SEC has seven teams in the top thirteen of
Speaker 1: the latest poll. Notice he didn't say which pole. That'll
Speaker 1: be important In a second, he continues, it's really turning
Speaker 1: me off from the sport. I guess it's what he
Speaker 1: tried to say there. This is where you really want
Speaker 1: to lean in. Why do you guys rig this thing?
Speaker 1: For the sec every year, despite the on field results
Speaker 1: being what they are. Confiscate that dude shoe strings. It's
Speaker 1: the first order of business, the second order of business.
Speaker 1: And just keep it up, Bradley, because I need to
Speaker 1: really dissect this. This is an example of a crime.
Speaker 1: In search of evidence. Will is already convinced of something
Speaker 1: that he can't possibly be convinced of because the the
Speaker 1: you guys that issued that pole was not media. The
Speaker 1: you guys that issued that pole the other day was
Speaker 1: nobody in this building. It wasn't the Associated Press, it
Speaker 1: wasn't anyone. It was the coaches, right Jesse. So at
Speaker 1: the very worst, even if the coaches are shirking their responsibilities,
Speaker 1: it's their sids filling out the poll for them. In
Speaker 1: either event, it's a smattering of people who represent conferences
Speaker 1: in universities all across the country, none of whom cover
Speaker 1: the sport for a living, none of whom talk or
Speaker 1: write for a living. They coach for a living. They
Speaker 1: don't have a mic in front of them. They gotta
Speaker 1: whistle around their neck. They're professionals at him and the
Speaker 1: last thing on this planet. That group of people hashtag
Speaker 1: you guys, the last thing those guys are looking to
Speaker 1: do is prop up the SEC. But Will's convinced that
Speaker 1: it's happening to the point where it's turned him off
Speaker 1: from the sport. So I would ask this, I would
Speaker 1: ask very simply for Will to number one, just step
Speaker 1: outside for five minutes. When you come back in, take
Speaker 1: a deep breath. It's not the end of the world.
Speaker 1: And then I would ask you, Will to pull out
Speaker 1: a pencil and paper, not a pen because it's probably
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of racing going on. And
Speaker 1: I want you to number it one through twenty five.
Speaker 1: And I'd just be interested to see your one through
Speaker 1: twenty five bias free SEC bias free, one through twenty five.
Speaker 1: And I'd just be interested to know how different it
Speaker 1: looks from the coaches poll, the SEC bias infested coaches poll.
Speaker 1: What do you have, Will? You got the poll, by
Speaker 1: the way, Jesse, Yeah, throw that up for me, so
Speaker 1: to refresh everyone's memory, the corrupted coaches poll, the SEC
Speaker 1: bias laden coaches poll had Ohio State Oregon one and two.
Speaker 1: That can't be right, Jesse, Is that right? Wow? Okay,
Speaker 1: So Ohio State, Oregon one and two. You got Georgia
Speaker 1: Texas three to four. It's pretty extreme. Notre Dame's fifth,
Speaker 1: Indiana sixth, Miami seven. So the next time I see
Speaker 1: an SEC team, there's a glob of them. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, thirteen.
Speaker 1: Those are the SEC teams. Now, those teams are A
Speaker 1: and M, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Alabama, LSU five teams. They
Speaker 1: all got pretty high level talent rosters, which is largely
Speaker 1: what you're going on with a preseason ranking. They all
Speaker 1: did varying degre of good. Last year. A and M
Speaker 1: playoff team, Oklahoma, playoff team, ole Miss, playoff team, Alabama,
Speaker 1: playoff team, LSU went and got Lane Kiffin spent four
Speaker 1: hundred bazillion dollars to become a playoff team. So if
Speaker 1: not them, who who? Because the team's behind them. To
Speaker 1: let everyone understand what we're talking about here, USC's behind them,
Speaker 1: Brigham Young's behind them, Michigan, Penn State. I just want
Speaker 1: you to stop me, will when you hear someone that
Speaker 1: has egregiously been omitted in lieu of playoff Texas, A
Speaker 1: and M playoff, Oklahoma, playoff Old Mess, playoff Alabama, you
Speaker 1: get the whole, You get the story there. Who does
Speaker 1: SMU get the shaft here did Jedfish and Washington get
Speaker 1: robbed of their rightful place above four loaded rosters high
Speaker 1: spenders with a playoff ticket punched a year ago. I
Speaker 1: think what you'll find is that just because you don't
Speaker 1: like something doesn't make it invalid. I despise speed limits
Speaker 1: inside the major metro area of cities on interstates. Fifty
Speaker 1: five miles an hour is a joke. I remember asking
Speaker 1: a buddy of mine who was a cop one time,
Speaker 1: how can you justify this? How can they justify this?
Speaker 1: And he laid it out. I did not like the logic,
Speaker 1: but there was logic behind it above and beyond just
Speaker 1: we want to make a lot of money pulling you over.
Speaker 1: And likewise here, well, I don't get the sense that
Speaker 1: you have an SEC tramp stamp on your lower back.
Speaker 1: Could be wrong, but I don't get that sense. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that seven teams in the top thirteen
Speaker 1: being from the SEC is invalid or there's like an
Speaker 1: ulterior motive behind it. There's a pretty general consensus out there. Jesse,
Speaker 1: stop me if I'm wrong on any of this. There's
Speaker 1: a pretty general consensus out there. The Big Ten is
Speaker 1: the best conference in the country at the top right now,
Speaker 1: there's a solid chunk of the SEC that is right below, oh,
Speaker 1: the highest tier of the Big ten, but probably above
Speaker 1: the lowest tier of the Big ten. That's reflected here
Speaker 1: by the coaches who knew the coaches. And then I
Speaker 1: saw a lot of reaction yesterday, last couple of days,
Speaker 1: really saw a lot of reaction to this. And it'll
Speaker 1: happen again when the ap pole comes out. I think
Speaker 1: in about a week and a half, you'll see people
Speaker 1: say we shouldn't have preseason polls. I hear people say
Speaker 1: that every year. In fairness, a lot of you guys
Speaker 1: say that to me every year. It's one of the
Speaker 1: most popular questions actually when we ask for a Q
Speaker 1: and A is do you think we should have preseason polls?
Speaker 1: Why do we have preseason polls? We don't have preseason
Speaker 1: polls in any other sport. Why do we have in
Speaker 1: college football? Buddy, we don't have buffalo that charged the field,
Speaker 1: we don't have ducks that ride motorcycles in any other sport.
Speaker 1: I don't care what any other sport does this college football.
Speaker 1: It's one of one the reason we have preseason polls
Speaker 1: is because that's the way everyone's brain works. In July
Speaker 1: and August, I wonder who's good. I wonder who else
Speaker 1: is better than them? And I wonder who else may
Speaker 1: not be quite as good as them. I wonder who's
Speaker 1: going to be overrated. I wonder who's going to be underrated.
Speaker 1: This is how this sport has worked since God created it.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with it. It's fun and if you
Speaker 1: outlaw it, people are just gonna bootleg poles anyway, so
Speaker 1: you might as well try and do it responsibly. Preseason
Speaker 1: rankings and moderation never hurt anyone. Mem said that she's right,
Speaker 1: and so I look at this and I don't think
Speaker 1: the concept of preseason rankings is bad at all. Here's
Speaker 1: what's bad. Marrying them. Marrying your preseason rankings is bad.
Speaker 1: Take it from me, because I've learned this lesson the
Speaker 1: very very very bitter hard way long ago. I don't
Speaker 1: make this mistake anymore, as we all understand. But back
Speaker 1: in the day, WHO summers were so long, so long,
Speaker 1: and I'd go get my fil still preview and all
Speaker 1: the other magazines Pick six previews was not around yet,
Speaker 1: and I would just re every word over and over
Speaker 1: and over again. And you're talking about April, spring game concludes,
Speaker 1: and it is a death march to August. April and
Speaker 1: May and June and July in August, and what do
Speaker 1: you do. You got nothing to do but sit there,
Speaker 1: maybe spend time with family, but largely it's just reading
Speaker 1: college football preview magazines and you end up developing opinions,
Speaker 1: and then you end up really developing opinions, and then
Speaker 1: you end up verbalizing those opinions to your coworkers and
Speaker 1: your buddies and your family several times over the course
Speaker 1: of the summer, and before too long, you're married to them.
Speaker 1: And then Week one happens, and there's a result that
Speaker 1: flies in the face of everything that you came to
Speaker 1: believe over the past three months, but you refuse to
Speaker 1: divorce it, because mistakenly you don't understand that one quarter
Speaker 1: of football in week one is worth more than months
Speaker 1: and months and months and months of a hard belief
Speaker 1: system that you developed over the course of spring and summer.
Speaker 1: If you can get past that, if you can and
Speaker 1: have your beliefs and have your rankings, and have your
Speaker 1: thoughts and predictions, but be nimble and understand, have your
Speaker 1: head on a swivel. Week one Week two, Week three.
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with preseason rankings. I don't care that they
Speaker 1: don't do them in any other sport. And what how
Speaker 1: many times do I have to listen to that college
Speaker 1: football should change to be like every other sport, And
Speaker 1: these people would look at you and have the audacity
Speaker 1: to say, boy, I love the uniqueness of college football. However,
Speaker 1: I would love it to conform in every shape, form
Speaker 1: and fashion imaginable to what the NFL does or what
Speaker 1: the NBA does. No, No, you got to shout those
Speaker 1: people down. No, great news. We have a tour name,
Speaker 1: so I know a lot of people are new around here.
Speaker 1: We've had like I don't know how many thousand new
Speaker 1: subscribers over the past couple of days. Please continue to
Speaker 1: do so. It greatly helps us. It puts food on
Speaker 1: Bradley's table. It keeps Press's lights on Mitch. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it does for him, but
Speaker 1: it does so we appreciate it. Ever since we had
Speaker 1: a show, we have taken advantage of what we do
Speaker 1: for a living, and we've gone on the road every week.
Speaker 1: Like one of the main perks of covering college football
Speaker 1: for a living. To me is that you get to
Speaker 1: go to college football games on Saturday and claim it's work.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful, So I go. Man, I've done it for
Speaker 1: five years now. Ever since COVID stopped and we could
Speaker 1: go back out on the road, We've had tours. We
Speaker 1: had the Renaissance Tour, the Once Upon a Saturday Tour,
Speaker 1: the Every Given Saturday Tour, the Whole New Saturday Tour.
Speaker 1: Last year was the Fall Don't Lie Tour. So we
Speaker 1: give them names. It's like a concert. Basically, we make
Speaker 1: t shirts for it. It's fun and we're somewhere every week,
Speaker 1: and we will be again this year. Now what I
Speaker 1: like to do is I like to sometime around March
Speaker 1: or April, I start trying to think, where are we?
Speaker 1: Where's our mind? That right now? We love college football.
Speaker 1: Everybody who watches this show, you may not have a
Speaker 1: thing in common outside of this show, but if you're
Speaker 1: watching this show, you love college football. You live for
Speaker 1: Saturdays in the fall, and lately there's just been a
Speaker 1: little too much noise around that. There've been some hands
Speaker 1: on it that have no business being on it. And
Speaker 1: you deal with a lot of mess in your life
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, you live real lives. You may have jobs,
Speaker 1: you may have all kinds of things going on with
Speaker 1: your kids, you may be struggling to make ends meet.
Speaker 1: You got people you can't stand that you have to
Speaker 1: interact with every day. Traffic sucks. You got so many
Speaker 1: things on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday that are only manageable
Speaker 1: because you know what, well, you know what's going to
Speaker 1: happen twelve times in the fall. You know twelve times
Speaker 1: in the fall, you're gonna have that Saturday. And as
Speaker 1: long as they'll just leave that alone, you can grin
Speaker 1: and bear the rest of it. And it's just felt
Speaker 1: lately like there's some people that are even trying to
Speaker 1: corrupt that, and there's some people that are even trying
Speaker 1: to mess with that, and that's the non negotiable for
Speaker 1: folks like us. You can mess with a lot of things,
Speaker 1: you can tread on a lot of things, but you
Speaker 1: better not tread on Saturday. And so it seemed blatantly
Speaker 1: obvious to me that we need to call this year's
Speaker 1: tour that don't tread on Saturday Tour. And so that's
Speaker 1: what we're gonna call it. And we'll be on campus
Speaker 1: every Saturday this fall, and we'll be standing right there
Speaker 1: on the sideline every Saturday this fall, because Saturdays in
Speaker 1: the fall are why we got into this. Saturday's in
Speaker 1: the fall are what we love above and beyond almost
Speaker 1: anything else, especially up to an including fall weddings. And
Speaker 1: so I'm very excited gonna announce our week one location
Speaker 1: in the not too distant future, obviously because it's right
Speaker 1: around the corner. But this one's gonna be good. And
Speaker 1: the t shirts are going to be unlike anything that
Speaker 1: we've put in the pet State store, and those will
Speaker 1: come very very soon. See you soon, see you on
Speaker 1: campus soon. I hate this because normally when I have
Speaker 1: a post it note on a piece of paper, it's
Speaker 1: just the hometown shout out, like they're watching this in Tucson, Arizona,
Speaker 1: they're watching us in Reno, Nevada. Chickashe, Oklahoma is always
Speaker 1: one of my go tos, Valdosta, Georgia, you know, Long Beach, Mississippi. However,
Speaker 1: this post it note is not a hometown shout out.
Speaker 1: It's something unfortunate. So I'll get to it here. Fall
Speaker 1: camp intel is pouring in Okay first week of August.
Speaker 1: Let's burn the boat's time. Let's put a serious face
Speaker 1: on and let's figure out depth charts, and let's figure
Speaker 1: out who's starting to war. And it sucks, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with some injury news. We just
Speaker 1: got some today, But we start figuring out how much
Speaker 1: of what we heard post spring, throughout summer workouts to
Speaker 1: now was real and how much of it was just false,
Speaker 1: manufactured hypes. So I want to start at Oklahoma, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to preface I ain't paying a whole lot
Speaker 1: of attention to Oklahoma's defense. It's called I just take
Speaker 1: for granted that they're going to be good. So the
Speaker 1: questions I'm asking to our folks out in Oklahoma, is,
Speaker 1: you know, wide receiver rotation maybe behind like Isaiah Satagna.
Speaker 1: Parker Livingstone is a big name there, Parker Livingstone, formerly
Speaker 1: Texas now Oklahoma. Like, I've seen a lot of people
Speaker 1: pencil him in as wide receiver too, which it may
Speaker 1: very well be how it falls, but that's not what
Speaker 1: we're interested in. What we're interested in is putting our
Speaker 1: ear to the ground and listening for some hoof beats
Speaker 1: maybe that other people aren't picking up on. So many
Speaker 1: choice is six' four one ninety and it would not
Speaker 1: surprise me at all if come midpoint of the, season
Speaker 1: many choice is stat line looks a little bit more
Speaker 1: robust and impressive maybe than your local preview magazine would
Speaker 1: you lead you to. Believe and that kind of goes
Speaker 1: back into what the overall offensive production is going to
Speaker 1: be Here John matteer coming off. Injury of course we
Speaker 1: could talk about health. There, LOOK i have full trust
Speaker 1: and confidence In John mattire at running. Back that goes
Speaker 1: right back to what the problem was last year offensive
Speaker 1: line rushing production being way. Down if it's a carbon
Speaker 1: copy again this, year well Then john matiir is being
Speaker 1: putt in an, untenable sort of unwinnable position to. Me
Speaker 1: But Jonathan hatton is a top one hundred true freshman
Speaker 1: and he's six, foot he's two, fifteen somewhere between two
Speaker 1: five and two. Fifteen you understand how waterweight works this
Speaker 1: time of, Year, Jesse it fluctuates. Greatly this is a
Speaker 1: situation because of the room he's walking into where he
Speaker 1: could come in and elevate and be a difference maker really.
Speaker 1: Quickly that is not me sitting here saying THERE'S rb
Speaker 1: one in week once not. That who, knows maybe he will,
Speaker 1: be but it's going to be very hard to keep
Speaker 1: that guy off the field this year out AT. Usc
Speaker 1: this is where the post it note comes. In it
Speaker 1: brings me no. Joy killian. O'Connor as of like this
Speaker 1: morning was the projected starting center For oklahoma this year
Speaker 1: OR usc this. Year and it was Actually Lincoln riley
Speaker 1: who confirmed this afternoon he's out for the, season which
Speaker 1: again happens Every. August there is no way to avoid.
Speaker 1: It you just client cross your fingers and hope it's
Speaker 1: not going to be your. Team and this is a
Speaker 1: big deal because the big takeaway that we keep hearing
Speaker 1: out OF, usc and kept hearing in the spring is
Speaker 1: it's the first year you're gonna have the, size you're
Speaker 1: gonna have the depth that, Frankly Lincoln riley hasn't had.
Speaker 1: Before now why he hasn't had it is up to,
Speaker 1: interpretation but he hasn't. Now he does look at us
Speaker 1: on the lines of scrimmage and still even with the
Speaker 1: injury that is the. Case it's just that hurts a little,
Speaker 1: Bit it may hurt a, lot but there's no. Guarantee
Speaker 1: see here's the point early on in fall. Camp what
Speaker 1: you're looking for is validation of your beliefs or you're
Speaker 1: looking to change your beliefs based on updated. Information so WITH,
Speaker 1: usc IF i believe AND i do that this roster
Speaker 1: is going to be the most physically. Impressive they're going
Speaker 1: to be the best and sturdiest along the lines of.
Speaker 1: Scrimmage they're going to have the most Quality Big Ten
Speaker 1: championship caliber depth that they've ever. Had WHAT i want
Speaker 1: to hear IS i want to hear people who are
Speaker 1: at practice, saying, man this team looks, Different like, man
Speaker 1: look at this, Size look at the guys running with the.
Speaker 1: Twos look at the guys running with the twos on this.
Speaker 1: Side that's what you want to. Hear that's what we've
Speaker 1: heard FROM usc so. Far now here's the follow, up
Speaker 1: important follow up that guarantees you nothing that doesn't guarantee
Speaker 1: you any wins this. Fall not having it does guarantee
Speaker 1: you losses this. Fall so that's where you are in
Speaker 1: the first week of fall. Camp, also kind of in the,
Speaker 1: spring we were talking about wide receiver AT, usc and
Speaker 1: They've hines And anderson are a really good one. Too
Speaker 1: so those GUYS i think they can count on and
Speaker 1: did in the. Spring my bigger question is how does
Speaker 1: that wide receiver room shake out behind? Them because they've
Speaker 1: got some big time talent coming in as true, freshmen
Speaker 1: a very heralded recruiting, class number one ranked recruiting class
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty six cycle Per on. Three maybe
Speaker 1: a bunch of line of scrimmage talent is not immediately
Speaker 1: able to be difference makers cause they're true. Freshmen wide
Speaker 1: receivers can AND i think there are players out of
Speaker 1: that wide receiver Group they're going to have to be
Speaker 1: impact players FOR usc to realize their potential this. Year
Speaker 1: so that's What i'm listening for out Of Los angeles In, Athens.
Speaker 1: Georgia there's nothing wrong with What i'm about to, say
Speaker 1: nothing wrong at all with, this but it is a
Speaker 1: sign of the. Times it looks Like georgia is on
Speaker 1: track to start a three star true freshman at right.
Speaker 1: GUARD i want to pump the. BRAKES i want to
Speaker 1: pump the brakes really. Hard people think that's some kind of.
Speaker 1: Insult i'm trying to take some kind of. Shot no
Speaker 1: Zyche helton is on scholarship At georgia and probably making
Speaker 1: a little money on the sidecause he's a really GOOD.
Speaker 1: Pla if he, wasn't he wouldn't be. There i'm just
Speaker 1: giving you his recruiting. Ranking you can do with that
Speaker 1: whatever you. Want the only Reason i'm trying to make
Speaker 1: that point is because, anecdotally it's just not something that
Speaker 1: you would have heard yourself saying five years. Ago five years,
Speaker 1: ago even if he is a good, player there's probably
Speaker 1: a dude in front of him and maybe another dude
Speaker 1: behind that, dude And Zychie helton's coming in and he's
Speaker 1: giving you good looks and he's getting good reps in
Speaker 1: and you're, saying man as a, sophomore he's going to
Speaker 1: be a player as a, junior and NOW i can see him.
Speaker 1: Starting but now you come in and start as a true.
Speaker 1: Freshman that's not, confirmed like he's running with ones right,
Speaker 1: now but it makes One gaston a very very important.
Speaker 1: PLAYER a lot of these offensive linemen in spring and
Speaker 1: summer got really good. Feedback we heard good intel about
Speaker 1: the conditioning. Piece then, again how frequently do we hear
Speaker 1: guys got, Fatter guys are out of, shape guys look.
Speaker 1: SLOPPY i guess that's just the. Guys you don't hear
Speaker 1: anything about but we did hear really really good returns
Speaker 1: About georgia from a conditioning. STANDPOINT i know what those
Speaker 1: guys are put through down, there SO i don't doubt.
Speaker 1: It but one Gat, stone if this is how the
Speaker 1: right side of the offensive line shakes, out it's a
Speaker 1: huge year for him because you got a guy at
Speaker 1: the very least who is green at right, guard and
Speaker 1: that just puts all the more emphasis on him at right.
Speaker 1: Tackle i'm waiting on names to pop it wide. Receiver
Speaker 1: that's going to kind of be an evergreen theme as
Speaker 1: you're Following georgia Throughout Fall. Camp not surprising at. All
Speaker 1: Elijah griffin is a. Monster you could see that as
Speaker 1: he played in high. School you could see it when
Speaker 1: he came To. Georgia six' four, three ten that's the
Speaker 1: kind of guy that is supposed to Wear a. Georgia
Speaker 1: uniform and once you see him play like he's the
Speaker 1: number two overall prospect a cycle ago that's like a
Speaker 1: quintessential pumped right out of the lab on a conveyor
Speaker 1: Belt type. Georgia Player. Dwight phillips also at, running back
Speaker 1: They got fraser, back there They got bowers. Back There
Speaker 1: Josh dwight phillips just kind of interested when we Get
Speaker 1: to november how much production has, he HAD because i
Speaker 1: think his, skill set just in terms, of versatility home run,
Speaker 1: play potential he's got a little different package of skill
Speaker 1: set maybe than Your traditional, Georgia tailback so looking forward
Speaker 1: to seeing Him Play Texas Tech. Texas tech the majority
Speaker 1: of the conversation will revolve Around. Will hammon he. Did
Speaker 1: practice by the way he has practiced so far brace on,
Speaker 1: the knee but has, been practicing so that's trending in the.
Speaker 1: Right direction that's not Really what i'm focused ON because
Speaker 1: i kind of think he's been on the same trajectory
Speaker 1: for a little, while now and then ultimately we'll see
Speaker 1: what his top end. Potential Is But micah hudson is
Speaker 1: a guy who kind of played some last year but
Speaker 1: could be a star. This year, six three two. Oh
Speaker 1: five that was the number twelve overall prospect in the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four class per. On three this is the
Speaker 1: YEAR that i think he could blow up if. He's
Speaker 1: healthy that's the kind of guy who midpoint of the
Speaker 1: season you could be, looking at saying man du blittant
Speaker 1: cough Conversation For, michaeh hudson and it is a crowded
Speaker 1: blittan the. Cough conversation. This year, DEFENSIVE line i know
Speaker 1: they lost a lot. OF production i just don't want
Speaker 1: you to be surprised when defensive line is a strength of. This,
Speaker 1: team again we counted ten of their eleven starting on
Speaker 1: defense to be fourth year players. OR older i think
Speaker 1: their starting defense is going to be the oldest at
Speaker 1: least in terms of attorney production in the country, this
Speaker 1: year or right up there. With them like if you
Speaker 1: did a blind resume and you looked at the amount
Speaker 1: Of Experience texas tech's gonna have on the, field defensively,
Speaker 1: you'd say that's got To Be. Brigham young. They're old
Speaker 1: every year it's got to be. Bringing, Up no i'm
Speaker 1: not saying they won't, be That But texas tech will
Speaker 1: also be that this year And at alabama a couple
Speaker 1: of practices in the. FALL camp i don't know how
Speaker 1: many questions we're getting about the quarterback position there unchanged very,
Speaker 1: very Slightly And austin mack right now ultimately think It'll Be.
Speaker 1: Keelan russell doesn't matter because nothing all that meaningful has,
Speaker 1: happened there, so, FAR so i got a couple of scrimmages,
Speaker 1: coming up and we'll ultimately see how that. PLAYS out
Speaker 1: i don't think that's the biggest focal Point of alabama's,
Speaker 1: fall camp which is kind of what we said in.
Speaker 1: The spring whoever wins that job is going to be
Speaker 1: a really. Good player they got two guys they could
Speaker 1: start and win with if and then everything after. The
Speaker 1: if that's actually the biggest question there because there's a lot,
Speaker 1: of newness including the. Position coach on the, Offensive line
Speaker 1: they've got a kid five star out of. High School
Speaker 1: crow First Name. Jesse crowell Last Name, Xavier Crowell. Xavier
Speaker 1: crowell they talked him up immensely when they. Signed him
Speaker 1: they talked him up immensely until the point where he
Speaker 1: got banged up and there was like limited spring action
Speaker 1: and he's been trying to recover. Throughout summer and if
Speaker 1: you listen to the feedback from people who, watch him
Speaker 1: keep in Mind what alabama's weakness was. Last year you
Speaker 1: listen to people who, watch HIM it's i was Looking
Speaker 1: At clint lamb talking about him. Earlier, today yeah he
Speaker 1: looks different than any. Running back they have moves different
Speaker 1: than any. Running back. They, Had, yes yes that's what.
Speaker 1: They needed, that's why even when they were signing that,
Speaker 1: recruiting class people were already penciling him into starting rotation
Speaker 1: looks at, running back because that's how it. Works nowadays
Speaker 1: That's what i'm. Watching for i'm watching for continuity. Offensive
Speaker 1: line i'm watching for the kind of practice reports, that,
Speaker 1: indicate man it does. Look, different wow it's a noticeable
Speaker 1: uptick in. Production here and they're doing it against an
Speaker 1: revamped and overhaul. Defensive front and that's the other thing
Speaker 1: that people who Are watching alabama practice down there keep
Speaker 1: coming back, and saying it's. THE stuff i went and
Speaker 1: watched him in. The spring it's the FIRST thing i
Speaker 1: SAID when i. Came back that looks nothing Like the
Speaker 1: alabama defensive front from. Last year they went And Got,
Speaker 1: devin tompkins they Went Got. Terrence green, they're, huge man
Speaker 1: they are big on the. Defensive front it's the longest
Speaker 1: secondary in, the country so linebacker obviously their. Big. Question defensively,
Speaker 1: it's early we have to. Pace ourselves it's early in.
Speaker 1: Fall camp but those are some of the things we're,
Speaker 1: looking at some of the feedback that. WE'RE getting i
Speaker 1: know several things about. Our audience and one of THE
Speaker 1: things i know about our audience is one hundred percent of,
Speaker 1: you eat but not all of you eat healthy all.
Speaker 1: The time. That's unfortunate it doesn't have to be. That
Speaker 1: way i'm also perhaps describing myself so. Great news over
Speaker 1: the past couple. Of months one of the partnerships that
Speaker 1: we were able to form is with factor because, LIKE
Speaker 1: you i don't really have many days that stack up.
Speaker 1: Exactly ALIKE if, i did it'd, be WONDERFUL and i could, structure, breakfast,
Speaker 1: Lunch dinner i'd. Be good that is not the way.
Speaker 1: It works so sometimes you sacrifice and you just eat
Speaker 1: terribly and you don't have to. Do that you can
Speaker 1: actually eat real food in a, time crunch and that's
Speaker 1: how you. Do it factors how you. Do it those
Speaker 1: are chef Crafted. Meals jesse just in case, you're unaware
Speaker 1: chef crafted dietitian designed ready, to eat two minutes ready.
Speaker 1: TO eat i know you have, two minutes, no prep,

Speaker 1: the entire, catalog here you've got over one hundred nutrient
Speaker 1: dense menu items to. Choose From, salmon bergers One of,
Speaker 1: mitch's favorites, shredded pork. Collared greens there are chicken dishes

Speaker 1: Dot com you can see the website for. More details
Speaker 1: always pro food on. This show so we're talking About,
Speaker 1: CAMP intel a lot of lists, going around a lot
Speaker 1: of rankings. Going around if you had to circle the
Speaker 1: breakout players, this year who would? THEY be i threw
Speaker 1: this Out on twitter. Earlier, today man we got a ton,
Speaker 1: of responses a Lot Of devin sanchez fans. Out there
Speaker 1: i'll get to him in. A second i circled a few,
Speaker 1: of them Like, At Oregon kenyon sadiq just went first
Speaker 1: round IN The nfl draft at, tied END and i
Speaker 1: could find you some people inside the organ program who
Speaker 1: would get close. To you they whisper in, Your, Ear
Speaker 1: Hey jamari johnson could. Be better he could. Be better he's, six'
Speaker 1: five he's, two fifty seven which if you hear that, makes,
Speaker 1: you think oh probably, not, as explosive right probably. Not,
Speaker 1: as quick well he's. A former quarterback he actually can.
Speaker 1: Move very well probably in totality has a better package
Speaker 1: Of potential than Sadik did And kenya and sadik. Was
Speaker 1: a freak just goes, to show you along with the
Speaker 1: wide receiver, room up there what. They could have and he.
Speaker 1: PLAYED last year i had five hundred and ten receiving. YARDS
Speaker 1: last year i just you could call him the best
Speaker 1: tight end player in the country that most people, don't
Speaker 1: know about which is weird because He. Plays FOR oregon
Speaker 1: so i think he'll break out in a massive. WAY
Speaker 1: this year I think at texas sarks. On the money
Speaker 1: I've Always said Steve sarkisian knows texas about AS well.
Speaker 1: As i do and he knows. His defense Too jesse.
Speaker 1: So jelani McDonald he is going to be a key
Speaker 1: piece in their. Secondary he's crazy he's one of the
Speaker 1: younger players in their second even though, he's not young
Speaker 1: it's just he's, he's a really Really good play actually,
Speaker 1: he's A, Senior right jesse I'm thinking about I'm Thinking
Speaker 1: about Sanchez Sanchez. At ohio state i'll get to him.
Speaker 1: In a second all of You Got to. Devin sanchez
Speaker 1: today we heard Like Five hundred devin. Sanchez is. Today
Speaker 1: jelani McDonald he was. Good last year so If you're
Speaker 1: a texas fan, and you're, LISTENING you're saying i. Know,
Speaker 1: ABOUT him yeah i don't think the rest of, the
Speaker 1: COUNTRY does and i think they. Will this year. Staff
Speaker 1: loves him they talk. Him Up constantly So i'd. Go
Speaker 1: jelani McDonald At, texas ian premire we threw around the
Speaker 1: pronunciation earlier today because this is the. Kind OF guy
Speaker 1: if i didn't, KNOW any better i would just straight
Speaker 1: up THROW. A soft r I. Would go prime but that's.
Speaker 1: Not his name but he is a five star true
Speaker 1: freshman tight, end six. Five two forty the camp reports,
Speaker 1: are really good and this is where it. Gets Really
Speaker 1: Interesting the notre dame PASSING. Game s cj carr preseason
Speaker 1: height has. Been favorite quarterback you've got a lot of
Speaker 1: promise in, the receiver room but you don't have like
Speaker 1: a returning fifteen hundred yard, reception type guy which makes
Speaker 1: you wonder what kind of stat line could he put
Speaker 1: up as. A true freshman i think he walks in
Speaker 1: a room and there are. OTHER guys there i think
Speaker 1: he's their most, dynamic Option there so. I'D circle him I,
Speaker 1: think at miami with all the talk about guys, That
Speaker 1: Are leaving, RUBEN bain's Gone mani, keem mesidor's, gone and
Speaker 1: hey we Went And. Got damon wilson that's. Been the
Speaker 1: talk it's been like a one. To two three Everybody
Speaker 1: who Describes Miami and marquise lightfoot's just, kind of, there
Speaker 1: six five, two thirty five just. Kind of there not
Speaker 1: all lost production. IS the same i. Said that earlier
Speaker 1: you lose production the Likes of which miami is losing
Speaker 1: and you don't have anything, to, replace it well. Then
Speaker 1: you're done but they've got premier talent that's. Already been
Speaker 1: there it's already. Been sitting there he had two and
Speaker 1: a half. Sacks last year he had five and a half.
Speaker 1: Tackles for loss he played more rotationally he would have
Speaker 1: been a breakout player for other playoff teams last year
Speaker 1: had he not been behind who. He Was, Behind so
Speaker 1: mark i've got, very little doubt, like barring injury that
Speaker 1: he'll be a household. Name This year devin. Sanchez Already
Speaker 1: is devin sanchez was like every OTHER reply when i
Speaker 1: asked you, Guys, earlier, today hey man give me. Some
Speaker 1: Breakout Players so devin sanchez, six' to two, right at two.
Speaker 1: Hundred just prototypical player he's a sophomore that's a youngest
Speaker 1: player on a more veteran laden, defense kind of deal
Speaker 1: but yet probably their best defensive player because. He's just
Speaker 1: that good he played, as a true, freshman locked down
Speaker 1: corner and it's not that we haven't seen that kind
Speaker 1: Of Skill set. At ohio state before it's just it's.
Speaker 1: The NEXT in line and i don't have to do,
Speaker 1: much to convince people because, judging by our. Replies Everyone's,
Speaker 1: Already Convinced at oaklana michael fasusi last year comes in
Speaker 1: starts as a true. Freshman at left tackle enters his second,
Speaker 1: year here, six.' five round three twenty he could end
Speaker 1: up being the top offensive tackle. In the country this
Speaker 1: year would not. Surprise me in the least and if
Speaker 1: you Listen to, the people around oklahoma talk they'll be
Speaker 1: sure to talk. Up all his physical attributes he's, a, professional,
Speaker 1: in both categories mentality. Physically everything you would need it's
Speaker 1: just a SURE fire future first round nfl type guy
Speaker 1: that is working his way through, the college ranks right
Speaker 1: now and he's part of what Needs to be. Greatly
Speaker 1: improved oklahoma, offensive line if it's not it. Won't Be,
Speaker 1: because of him at washington you know not to. Overlook
Speaker 1: Another offensive tackle here, cody green's, coming in there six,
Speaker 1: six about. Three twenty five. True freshman he'll start immediately
Speaker 1: he won that job and there wasn't a whole. Lot
Speaker 1: of doubt about that and that's another team that, if
Speaker 1: you're asking for sleepers you know everyone has to go
Speaker 1: past The Big. Three, in the big ten well Then
Speaker 1: you get down to washington and he's one of the
Speaker 1: first names out. Of people's Mouths right Now and At,
Speaker 1: michigan saveon hitter or HIDER is a name that i
Speaker 1: feel like he's, a sophomore or a junior even though.
Speaker 1: He is a true freshman it's just that they've talked
Speaker 1: about him so much since he. GOT on campus that this,
Speaker 1: i put his name last but. He could have been,
Speaker 1: first he seems so inevitable and it seems, like he
Speaker 1: barring injury again like if. He's healthy the whole season
Speaker 1: he seems like such a slam dunk to end up,
Speaker 1: being the workhorse for them being a thousand plus yard,
Speaker 1: guy as a. True, FRESHMAN which is Rare like, i
Speaker 1: UNDERSTAND what i'm saying but i also know the kind
Speaker 1: of talent. That We're talking about, here jordan marshall's still
Speaker 1: there so he doesn't have to carry it thirty five.
Speaker 1: Times a game or anything be fun, to, Watch Them
Speaker 1: do it though so i'd say. Those are, some breakout
Speaker 1: players you know we've been in. Partnership For A, LONG
Speaker 1: time with quick trip i will intentionally let the needle
Speaker 1: go a little bit past e, and pass up other,
Speaker 1: options which are fine options but, there's only One Right.
Speaker 1: Option and, THAT'S quick trip you know i. Love COLBRE
Speaker 1: on TAP there sometimes i think i work our audience
Speaker 1: Into thinking They Only, serve colbrew at quick. Trip AND
Speaker 1: they do not and i. Bring You great News Tonight
Speaker 1: the big Que fountain. Cup one of jesse's favorites When you.
Speaker 1: Download the quick trip app you get that bad. Boy
Speaker 1: for forty nine cent now that's a coupon code that's,
Speaker 1: only available on the app so you're. Gonna To Download,
Speaker 1: The app BUT quick trip joe and i still, maintain
Speaker 1: a solid texting relationship and very frequently you guys will
Speaker 1: hit me up and document that you just passed up
Speaker 1: visiting another Establishment To. Hold out for quick trip occasionally you.
Speaker 1: Guys run out of, gas but you, know what in
Speaker 1: the end IT'S all worth it because i many times
Speaker 1: have been able to, screenshot not. The past tense Screenshot It.
Speaker 1: Send it to quick trip, joke MAKES everyone feel good
Speaker 1: and i. Appreciate that they, do too let's move along
Speaker 1: got a. Lot to get to see this Is the
Speaker 1: kind of show jesse that We. Clip a lot come,
Speaker 1: november because they're, breakout players we got. Sleepers We got
Speaker 1: toughest schedules and i'm going to be right, about a
Speaker 1: lot of this and you will have been, wrong about
Speaker 1: some of it but nevertheless it will get thrown Back,
Speaker 1: in our face in november so we. Need to proactively.
Speaker 1: Do it you got it, if they can't chase, you
Speaker 1: if you don't run what are the toughest schedules. In,
Speaker 1: the country this year now we could do the thing
Speaker 1: where we JUST throw a bunch of sec schedules out
Speaker 1: there and. A few big ten. Schedules THAT'S not as
Speaker 1: fun so i kind of WANTED to go AROUND the
Speaker 1: p four and i wanted. To look conference by conference
Speaker 1: what are the toughest schedules by, our own internal? Metrics,
Speaker 1: HERE conference by conference now I, will start in the
Speaker 1: sec because they have a lion's share of the. Toughest
Speaker 1: schedules in the country i'd say, Out, Of, the Entire,
Speaker 1: league Texas, Arkansas and Kentucky or texas kentucky, and arkansas
Speaker 1: in that order, have the three toughest schedules just by
Speaker 1: the metrics. We like to use here texas may have
Speaker 1: the best team. In the, COUNTRY this year they also
Speaker 1: i think have the toughest schedule. In the country this
Speaker 1: year they play eight of the top seventeen teams in
Speaker 1: the fan duel odds, to make the playoffs incredible and
Speaker 1: five of Those, games Are Away from austin so. Ohio
Speaker 1: state comes in there, but look at That stretch LIKE
Speaker 1: going To. Knoxville playing ou in dallas THEY got, to
Speaker 1: go to lsu late THEY got TO. Go to a
Speaker 1: and m late it makes you wonder what a nine
Speaker 1: To three this. Year for texas would mean you, guys,
Speaker 1: hope to avoid that obviously? But what would it mean Because.
Speaker 1: THAT is no joke arkansas i know we have an.
Speaker 1: ENTIRELY new coaching staff here i know not, much AS
Speaker 1: expected of them and i know this. Feels like an
Speaker 1: evergreen topic, when we do toughest schedules it Is. Like
Speaker 1: a birthright for Arkansas But outside of that north Alabama game,
Speaker 1: and maybe the tulsa game it's tough to find the wins, because,
Speaker 1: you're used to, thinking oh in classical scheduling you'll have
Speaker 1: eight league games. And, then four cream puffs maybe, like
Speaker 1: in the old. School you could do that now they're going,
Speaker 1: to PLAY nine LEAGUE. Games including A, and M, TENNESSEE,
Speaker 1: at auburn at texas lsu. They're going To play them
Speaker 1: they Got georgia, coming in their week three. But they're
Speaker 1: out Of Conference Sends. Them to salt, lake city egregious.
Speaker 1: Can't Happen, but it's happening so jesse do you remember
Speaker 1: off the top of your head with their win totals, is,
Speaker 1: three and a half right and that, seems, low, And,
Speaker 1: you're like oh man. Arkansas they recruit decent talent. You,
Speaker 1: GOTTA go over, THERE okay i see two i gotta
Speaker 1: get Two more to go over and even the, games
Speaker 1: you would, normally, circle you Would. Say well, They play
Speaker 1: vanderbilt First off vanderbilt's. Better, than arkansas right now secondly They.
Speaker 1: Got to go to nashville it's not, Easy. To come
Speaker 1: in here jesse it's not even the citizens around Here. Avoid, coming,
Speaker 1: into downtown nashville so yeah That's. A tough road in
Speaker 1: kentucky I. Want to know about kentucky how difficult does.
Speaker 1: That close end Up being SO they've GOT alabama at
Speaker 1: a and m first three weeks. Probably going TO be Difficult, They've.
Speaker 1: GOT lsu at oklahoma vanderbilt i want To know. Starting
Speaker 1: with that vanderbilt game So ten Twenty, Four on Vandy At.
Speaker 1: Tennessee florida at, missouri louisville because you know a big
Speaker 1: criticism of sec strength of schedule gazers is they prop
Speaker 1: up all these teams in the preseason because. Of recruiting
Speaker 1: rankings and stuff but by the end of the year some.
Speaker 1: Of it was fool's. Gold sometimes that's. A stretch sometimes
Speaker 1: it's valid if, it ends up being valid There is
Speaker 1: a world where florida is not. That grade in year
Speaker 1: one There's A world where the austin simmons experiment Does.
Speaker 1: Not work out for missouri There's a world where the
Speaker 1: tennessee quarterback battle doesn't really yield anyone, who's a Big Difference,
Speaker 1: Maker and post diego pavia vanderbilt's just not all that
Speaker 1: great point being if any or all of that comes,
Speaker 1: TO fruition this Back third i guess of kentucky's schedule
Speaker 1: doesn't end up being nearly as beefy. As it looks
Speaker 1: right now so that's why we. Write all This In,
Speaker 1: Pencil In the big ten ohio state plays The Toughest.
Speaker 1: SCHEDULE in THE, Big, ten I think usc. Michigan, And Oregon, In, ORDER,
Speaker 1: actually Ohio state michigan usc and oregon in order play
Speaker 1: the Four Toughest. Schedules in the big ten this is
Speaker 1: very rare because those are for The Best. Teams, in the,
Speaker 1: big ten normally percentage wise it's a Whole lot More
Speaker 1: likely That northwestern or nebraska or purdue or someone like
Speaker 1: that Plays The toughest schedules Because Ohio state can't play
Speaker 1: ohio state you know How Hard it is for ohio
Speaker 1: state to have The Toughest, schedule in the big ten
Speaker 1: knowing They. Can't play themselves Or, oregon Oregon can't play
Speaker 1: oregon whereas northwestern theoretically could end. Up playing both of
Speaker 1: them and yet even, with that being the case there's
Speaker 1: such a round robin nature about this to where they all. End, Up,
Speaker 1: Playing Each other Enough plus ohio state and michigan have big.
Speaker 1: Time out of conference. Games, They Got tough schedules Man
Speaker 1: ohio state goes, to texas in week two but listen To,
Speaker 1: these Road, games At, texas AT iowa At. Indiana at
Speaker 1: usc at nebraska and that's Not to mention, they get
Speaker 1: Oregon at home. They get michigan at home. THAT'S an
Speaker 1: extremely tough schedule i Don't Remember the last time ohio
Speaker 1: state played. A tougher schedule than that usc, Plays a
Speaker 1: difficult stretch too and yet, when people look at, It,
Speaker 1: What do, they, do Jesse they say, Boy, start september.
Speaker 1: Twenty sixth no it doesn't You, Have To fly to
Speaker 1: pescataway new. Jersey for a conference game shake, Your, Head
Speaker 1: all you. Want mitch it's. Not easy it's not easy
Speaker 1: how Many Times you've been in new jersey recently as
Speaker 1: an as a As. A, resident of. SOUTHERN california buddy
Speaker 1: it's tough i know they're not. LOADED up on covered
Speaker 1: wagon i Know that they have a united plane to.
Speaker 1: FLY in there And. Back I think it's united but
Speaker 1: i Don't Just look at a greg chiano coach team
Speaker 1: playing at home early in the year where they still
Speaker 1: believe in, themselves and say LAY up having said, that,
Speaker 1: usc should start four No and then they play Oregon
Speaker 1: and then they play washington And Then. They play at
Speaker 1: penn state that's. A tough three game stretch and That's
Speaker 1: Not even to, mention luke fickle gets well they get
Speaker 1: him Off Of a bye but Luke. Fickle gets, him
Speaker 1: in madison that's again that's another, two time, zone trip
Speaker 1: there that midpoint that Midpoint, Stretch, Here You're, Playing, Oregon Washington, Penn.
Speaker 1: State wisconsin ohio state indiana, there's a buye in, there
Speaker 1: but other than that. There's no break in There At
Speaker 1: Least they move san, jose state to week zero so
Speaker 1: they do get to bake in, a two bye week year.
Speaker 1: Whereas everyone Else Has one, michigan plays Oklahoma, week two
Speaker 1: big game man and then four Of their Final seven
Speaker 1: Brutal Indiana at oregon at Ohio State all lumped in penn.
Speaker 1: State's there on the seventeenth, so it. Gets very difficult
Speaker 1: very quick but this offers you the opportunity in the
Speaker 1: world where we Still Want to. Know what bryce underwood is, We,
Speaker 1: still want, to know hey a man. Five star sensation
Speaker 1: freshman tailback if it doesn't click out of the Gate
Speaker 1: and you lose to oklahoma, at home in week two you,
Speaker 1: got the opportunity TO, regroup get right Against utep get
Speaker 1: ready for iowa to come, in not an easy opponent
Speaker 1: but an opponent. You should beat at home. You'll be
Speaker 1: favored against Him you should. Go to minnesota and, win
Speaker 1: you should do that and then The next time, most
Speaker 1: of America Watches you it'll be. Penn state coming in
Speaker 1: there one of very very very very very very very
Speaker 1: Very Very few tests. For penn state this year. You
Speaker 1: ought to be ashamed that's. What you ought to be.
Speaker 1: You ought to be ashamed so. That's not an easy
Speaker 1: schedule oregon does. Not Have an easy schedule, in, oregons
Speaker 1: finish is Really Really, Really tough At Ohio State. Michigan
Speaker 1: at michigan state washington that's the final four and the
Speaker 1: first time you'll PROBABLY watch Them as. At usc in
Speaker 1: week four that'll probably be A tricky little visit To.
Speaker 1: Illinois mid, To late october but yeah big ten's got
Speaker 1: several tough. Schedules this year As Well, now in the
Speaker 1: big twelve we do have to mention. The relativity Of It,
Speaker 1: all in the big Twelve The. Toughest Schedule is. Arizona
Speaker 1: state that's Part One part two is arizona state schedule
Speaker 1: would BE the easiest in the sec and it would
Speaker 1: be well into The Bottom. Half, of the big ten
Speaker 1: again just, In The interest of RELATIVITY arizona STATE plays
Speaker 1: At a. And m in Week Two. They play at
Speaker 1: texas tech later in The Year they play at brigham
Speaker 1: young so their three toughest games, probably are on the.
Speaker 1: Road so that's not enviable five of the Top seven
Speaker 1: teams in the Big Twelve odds, are on arizona state
Speaker 1: schedule so that's our reasoning for. Having them where THEY
Speaker 1: are and in the acc? Who else would It Be.
Speaker 1: Of course it's Florida State does. Anything Go mike norvel's
Speaker 1: way florida state's got THE, toughest schedule in the acc at.
Speaker 1: Least as we See it They go. To bama IN
Speaker 1: week three they've got SMU, as the opener for smu
Speaker 1: it's their second Game because they, play A week zero
Speaker 1: Game but smu and. At Bama back, to back, THERE
Speaker 1: week two week three i guess it's week one and.
Speaker 1: Week two to everyone else this. Open includes Those two games.
Speaker 1: They've got virginia At home They go to louisville To
Speaker 1: miami And, then play clemson on halloween so they could
Speaker 1: be A. Several lost team by, halloween and as you
Speaker 1: know there's a little bit of a Hot Seat. Dynamic there,
Speaker 1: with mike norvel oh boy so this is the year
Speaker 1: that We Needed. The layups at florida state This Is
Speaker 1: the year that mike norvell needed, a good eight and,
Speaker 1: four even, if it's hollow you know you can't fire the.
Speaker 1: Guy at eight and four but it's a win total.
Speaker 1: Of five and a half and we think it's the toughest. Schedule,
Speaker 1: in the league, there now as you know all of
Speaker 1: those games, are gonna happen in stadiums meaning there are,
Speaker 1: seats that you could fill which means you need tickets,
Speaker 1: unless you got. A really really good hookup if you,
Speaker 1: got a really good Hookup. You don't need seat geek
Speaker 1: the other nine to nine point nine, percent of you
Speaker 1: need tickets and what you ideally want to do is,
Speaker 1: save money on THOSE tickets which is, where i come,
Speaker 1: in because as you'll notice with every, brand partnership we
Speaker 1: take on it just includes, ways to save you money
Speaker 1: because that's. What we tell the agency we. Want to
Speaker 1: save people money ideally we just want, to give our
Speaker 1: audience money but if we, can just hand them money we.
Speaker 1: Want to save them money so you guys are going to.
Speaker 1: Go to games this fall you, may even go to
Speaker 1: concerts you may go TO a play For, all i
Speaker 1: know on broadway but you're definitely looking at. Going to
Speaker 1: college Football, games and at seat geek they've got tickets
Speaker 1: to any event that. You're trying to go to enter
Speaker 1: the code paid. TEN that's back this year a lot of.
Speaker 1: You been asking about that the. Code is back this
Speaker 1: year pate one zero that gets you ten percent off
Speaker 1: your orders. UP to two hundred dollars i know if
Speaker 1: some of you're going to, SPEND more than two hundred
Speaker 1: i can't do anything. For you past two hundred so any.
Speaker 1: Order above two hundred bucks i'm just, getting you twenty
Speaker 1: bucks off but anything, below two twenty. Percent off there
Speaker 1: you go Somebody asked. ABOUT this whole akron deal i.
Speaker 1: Can't help But, Admire this brett, from marshall, oklahoma hit
Speaker 1: me he? Said what's your reaction, TWEET or rather he
Speaker 1: said i saw Your reaction? Tweet to the akron giveaway why? Do, You,
Speaker 1: NOT like it. OH brett i. Love it i love

Speaker 1: lot of you may Not be. Aware of what akron

Speaker 1: did the? Landing Gift crash our system so, akron looked around,
Speaker 1: And Decided, You know what we're akron. We're just going
Speaker 1: for it and so they put, out an offer where
Speaker 1: like if you. Here's, what THE tweet said okay because

Speaker 1: conference being miked up with, a headset and play sheet

Speaker 1: sports personalities have. Taken part in the promotion it is
Speaker 1: one of the big REGRETS of my life that i
Speaker 1: didn't get, in on this early Enough. Which is mainly
Speaker 1: on jesse the ad leaders are SCHEDULED To appear on
Speaker 1: McAfee espn radio as. The popularity continues to grow anybody
Speaker 1: who knows me knows this is the kind of thing.
Speaker 1: THAT'S right up my. ALLEY i don't hate it i.
Speaker 1: DON'T hate it. AT all i love it i especially
Speaker 1: think that this is a great reminder to people who are. In,
Speaker 1: similar positions out there Look, if you're working at MIAMI,
Speaker 1: if you're working at usc probably don't. Need to go
Speaker 1: this route Probably, if you're working at oregon you're not
Speaker 1: gonna let someone from just down the Road and bend
Speaker 1: roll into eugene and Call. The first drive. Against boise
Speaker 1: don't need To, but if. You're AT akron you do Because.
Speaker 1: I don't really know jesse they could have. Signed a
Speaker 1: five star Kid They. Could have signed jared curtis they
Speaker 1: could have Got him To decommit from georgia And. Vandy
Speaker 1: and come to akron they, wouldn't have? Sold sweets out
Speaker 1: wouldn't they and INSTEAD they're sold out and i don't,
Speaker 1: Know how full. They'll be but doesn't matter that money,
Speaker 1: those checks Cash, either way Good. For akron great for
Speaker 1: akron Could We, go onto. Seat geek. NO we couldn't
Speaker 1: could we i Don't think we can buy akron. SEASON
Speaker 1: tickets and still qualify i don't. Think that's how that works.
Speaker 1: We need. TO call somebody quick reminder i announced on
Speaker 1: the show, the, other night that many many many of,
Speaker 1: you for several years now since, We've had a merch
Speaker 1: store you've ASKED to design shirts and i didn't really.
Speaker 1: Know how To do it and then alex, came to,
Speaker 1: us and said you idiot. You just started Design, contest she's,
Speaker 1: talking to jesse not me and so. We started a
Speaker 1: design contest we got flooded because one thing about our
Speaker 1: audience is we've never put a call to action out
Speaker 1: in the history of existence that you haven't, gone above
Speaker 1: and beyond answering because the loyalty is. Off THE charts
Speaker 1: around here and i looked at some of the early
Speaker 1: submissions and some of, them are kind. Of insulting others
Speaker 1: are great there's. Some really really good ones so this
Speaker 1: is Going to go for what, JESSE like, eleven more
Speaker 1: days i think because. We gave it two weeks. Go
Speaker 1: to paintstatemterial dot com YOU can also buy a, T
Speaker 1: shirt while you're there but if you want, To enter
Speaker 1: the design contest i'm handing out cash to the winners
Speaker 1: and you're going to, determine who, The winners are not
Speaker 1: me so you can. Go over there right now someone asked? Today,
Speaker 1: is at too late. No it's not. Too late paytstatematerial,
Speaker 1: dot com by. The way follow the instructions alex tells
Speaker 1: me some. Of you submitted good designs. You didn't follow.
Speaker 1: The instructions, follow the, instructions all right. That's it and.
Speaker 1: That's all we, move, on important question here boy it
Speaker 1: would have been important for us to. Know the, Answer
Speaker 1: to This last year michael from, PHILLY hit us and said,
Speaker 1: i want. To make money don't we all there are
Speaker 1: fourteen teams at FanDuel with plus three hundred odds or.
Speaker 1: Better to make the playoff michael wants to know which
Speaker 1: teams below that? Could you see, making it and he Said.
Speaker 1: Please don't be. Super, CHALKY love the, Show, well I
Speaker 1: love you michael and i appreciate. That you love the
Speaker 1: show you get asked me to. Do one of these
Speaker 1: things you cannot. Ask me to do both you can't
Speaker 1: make the top, fourteen teams off the board, but, then
Speaker 1: also tell me, hey, don't, pick team. Fifteen sixteen SEVENTEEN
Speaker 1: and eighteen So if I can't Pick, miami OR lsu
Speaker 1: or oakland, if I can't do that and i've got
Speaker 1: to pick from. The best of the rest it Came
Speaker 1: To my attention that penn state's not in the top
Speaker 1: fourteen of, the college football. Playoff odds, which surprises me.
Speaker 1: You Know Schedule and all so penn state's, got to be, The,
Speaker 1: team do they not michael that's got to be one
Speaker 1: of the, first teams that you circled if. Nothing, Else
Speaker 1: because of schedule now i'm the first guy to sit
Speaker 1: here and tell you don't be picking teams go to,
Speaker 1: the playoff merely on schedule because the team. Is what
Speaker 1: makes the. Playoff the schedule does Not, But when You
Speaker 1: got marshall temple and buffalo sitting there, looking you IN
Speaker 1: the eye when when i can roll out of bed
Speaker 1: and start three to zero And then need, to handle
Speaker 1: wisconsin at home and then, if it wasn't soft enough
Speaker 1: my Introduction, To conference plays at northwestern now that could
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a booby trap because they're,
Speaker 1: opening the new stadium there. So it, could be charged
Speaker 1: but still where would? You rather open conference play that's
Speaker 1: going to be. Put in the, Hype Video that's okay though.
Speaker 1: Matt campbell can stand it and then YOU come Home.
Speaker 1: And FACE usc at michigan if i SPLIT those games
Speaker 1: and then i go undefeeded, the, rest OF the way
Speaker 1: man could? I could, MAKE the Playoffs So yeah i
Speaker 1: think penn. State's got to be one this is where
Speaker 1: a lot of people took exception with. My next team
Speaker 1: earlier today remember, we're, looking for sleeper teams okay and
Speaker 1: remember THE playoff rules are a g six team has
Speaker 1: TO make, It, And as g six josh i'm sitting
Speaker 1: here saying forget About. The power FOR gimme navy and man,
Speaker 1: i SAID it earlier today and i got Some of
Speaker 1: the most anti american looks across the table. That You could, ever,
Speaker 1: get and i'm like sorry sorry for loving my, country
Speaker 1: and in the process Maybe given a look at. Navy
Speaker 1: to make, The playoffs by the way navy has the
Speaker 1: third BEST odds out of any g six, Team, To
Speaker 1: make the playoff jesse so how do they? Not, Qualify
Speaker 1: as sleeper status, no I'M waiting on you but i
Speaker 1: came with. Like ammunition, ABOVE and Beyond. Just hey i.
Speaker 1: Like navy let's MOVE on i'm, not a p four
Speaker 1: shill unlike some people. BEHIND the glass In. There i
Speaker 1: look at navy YOU want to Know, What. I like
Speaker 1: about navy jesse you DO want to Know? What i
Speaker 1: like about navy twenty, one WINS last two years which
Speaker 1: i rattled off the top, of MY head earlier today
Speaker 1: and i did not need anyone to. Look Any, of
Speaker 1: this up brian newberry you think. He's in his third
Speaker 1: year he's in his fourth. Year there, as head coach
Speaker 1: of course we all. Know he was there. Before that
Speaker 1: Veteran Offensive, line they play notre name but you know
Speaker 1: what they Could Afford to lose a notre dame game
Speaker 1: and still. BE in the playoff MIX i know that
Speaker 1: Because jmu got, housed by louisville last year didn't play
Speaker 1: anyone else in the top fifty in strength of schedule.
Speaker 1: And still made the. PLAYOFF so this could happen i
Speaker 1: may have. Just, taught myself into it Houston we're. Back.
Speaker 1: In The big twelve. Houston connor wegman is back first
Speaker 1: ten win seasons in. Twenty Twenty One last Year. Love willie,
Speaker 1: fritz and houston right now they're over unders like eight
Speaker 1: and a half. To even make the playoff their plus
Speaker 1: eight hundred, that's the thirtieth best odds so they. Certainly
Speaker 1: fit The Description Here they're at texas Tech week, three
Speaker 1: on a friday Night So let's just say texas tech's.
Speaker 1: Gonna end up being great. But maybe they're wobbly Early
Speaker 1: If you're gonna, play texas tech this year you kind of,
Speaker 1: want to play them early even though it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a really tough environment On the. Road on a friday
Speaker 1: night their three. Toughest are on THE road this is
Speaker 1: why i think their odds. Are a little bit Lower So,
Speaker 1: they go to Texas Tech, they go to Kansas. State
Speaker 1: they go to utah that's. The difficult, part of this
Speaker 1: but again remember like if they can somehow Find their
Speaker 1: way to, the big twelve title game anything can. Happen
Speaker 1: on any given day AND the other one That. I
Speaker 1: look at is florida this is not a prediction for,
Speaker 1: them to make the playoff but it's My obligation to always.
Speaker 1: Insert florida Into the, CONVERSATION and with florida specifically i
Speaker 1: want you. To look at their schedule don't pay attention
Speaker 1: to over under, seven and a half. Wins it'll just scare.
Speaker 1: You look At the schedule, They got fau Week one
Speaker 1: They've got the camels. Of CAMPBELL in week two now
Speaker 1: i want you to think about how. This could start
Speaker 1: For them they go. To auburn in week three auburn
Speaker 1: a lot of newness this will Be the toughest challenge
Speaker 1: for auburn. So far in the year let's just say
Speaker 1: they were to go in. There and get the win
Speaker 1: They come home to face Ole miss that's AN old.
Speaker 1: Miss team Post lsu game so at missouri The Very
Speaker 1: next week and south carolina the week after that are
Speaker 1: both games that they could be favored in and you
Speaker 1: could look up if, this falls the right way You
Speaker 1: Could look up and John somerl's rolling into, mid october
Speaker 1: six and oh still doesn't make Me love their odds
Speaker 1: At texas still. Solidly lean georgia against them. Oklahoma comes
Speaker 1: to the Swamp But, think about at texas georgia if
Speaker 1: you were to start six and oh, You split those
Speaker 1: games there oh you's. Got to come To You you go,
Speaker 1: to kentucky Vandy At. Home and at florida state you ought.
Speaker 1: To win those three games florida's probably gonna go. Eight
Speaker 1: AND four this year but i JUST painted a path
Speaker 1: where i didn't even bake In the possibility that maybe
Speaker 1: texas shitn't as good as we. THINK they're going to
Speaker 1: be i didn't even Do the thing where maybe george
Speaker 1: IS down and not because i don't think, they will
Speaker 1: be but again we're looking, for dark horse this. Year
Speaker 1: we're looking for sleepers florida's got the nineteenth best, odds
Speaker 1: to make the playoff and they got the roster to
Speaker 1: make her run if. Some things fall their way we're not,

Speaker 1: Okay this is what i was talking. About here a
Speaker 1: second ago i've got bold predictions from. You guys in
Speaker 1: my hand the rule is any of these bold predictions
Speaker 1: that are nine point five or boulder in hit earned.
Speaker 1: You a chalice of supremacy three out of the. Four
Speaker 1: tonight fit that description let's get, to the first one.
Speaker 1: First as You, Often, Do travis from springdale, Arkansas texis
Speaker 1: misses the playoff sark will not be the head coach at.
Speaker 1: The end of the Season so not only does, Texas
Speaker 1: not make the playoff sark is gone before. THE end
Speaker 1: Of The year a, LAH Hugh Freeze Last, Year A
Speaker 1: Lah billy napier allah, Brian kelly in the like i'm
Speaker 1: putting a nine. Point twenty five. On this it sounds,
Speaker 1: insane it would, be insane by The way in any unless,
Speaker 1: texas goes like five. Hundred it would be crazy sark's
Speaker 1: a great coach and they're. Probably gonna make THE playoff
Speaker 1: the only reason i, hesitates because of the schedule. Not
Speaker 1: the quality of Team but you could believe texas is
Speaker 1: the number one team in the country and still give this,
Speaker 1: a little bit of air still give this, a LITTLE
Speaker 1: bit of oxygen because i think it's the toughest schedule.
Speaker 1: In the country this year, and even if you disagree
Speaker 1: you'd have to agree it's like a top five toughest
Speaker 1: strength to schedule. In the Country This year They, Play,
Speaker 1: ohio State at Tennessee oklahoma neutral Florida, and ole miss
Speaker 1: before halloween so they get tested out of the gate
Speaker 1: and they don't stop. Getting tested the whole year and if,
Speaker 1: they go nine and, three which is very possible and
Speaker 1: they miss, out on the playoff again There's a different.
Speaker 1: Standard At texas this year, and i'm just telling you,
Speaker 1: nine and three looks. Good especially against that schedule. It's
Speaker 1: a really good year. THOSE people would not care a,
Speaker 1: lot OF them wouldn't care so i it would be
Speaker 1: utterly insane if. He GOT fired for THIS but, i
Speaker 1: SAID what i Said and i MEAN what, i'm saying
Speaker 1: when i say it's kind of a championship or Bust
Speaker 1: kind of, vibe around texas right now because those folks are, looking, at, us, saying,
Speaker 1: no, no no. No no no no no we've done everything
Speaker 1: you should ever need to do. To win a national
Speaker 1: title if you're missing the playoffs entirely, two years in.
Speaker 1: A row you're. The problem you're telling me you COULDN'T hear,
Speaker 1: people Saying that i could so i'm only making that.
Speaker 1: A nine point twenty five i would immediately hire, sarc
Speaker 1: if they, fired him by the way he would, be
Speaker 1: here coaching for us and you'd never lose a game.
Speaker 1: Because we, don't play Anyone next Up, This was tyler
Speaker 1: from wildwood. Missouri threw this out here oregon will be Two.
Speaker 1: And two heading into october that's. A nine. Point seventy
Speaker 1: five that's bold that'll get your chalice If it Happens
Speaker 1: They Play Boise at OKLAHOMA. State, portland state at usc
Speaker 1: now you're not supposed to assume Anything, in The month
Speaker 1: of august but i'm going To assume some things with
Speaker 1: oregon because. Of How experienced they are so i'm gonna
Speaker 1: assume they're Not. Going to lose against boise i'm going
Speaker 1: to Assume They're not going. To oklahoma state and losing
Speaker 1: and therefore it makes IT a moot point Because I
Speaker 1: can promise you portland state will not breathe more than
Speaker 1: one or two breaths before they're done. Splattered all over
Speaker 1: the place so if, they start two. And oh this
Speaker 1: can't happen but what if what If the improbable happens
Speaker 1: and boise goes, in there and beats him or What
Speaker 1: If they go to oklahoma state And it's Just crazy
Speaker 1: and drew mess america throws for four seventy new coordinator on. The,
Speaker 1: road blah blah blah WELL then that makes. That usc game,
Speaker 1: pretty crazy by The way we hit up FanDuel earlier
Speaker 1: today trying To kind of map. Out oregon's first four
Speaker 1: games we know What the line, on THE boise game
Speaker 1: is But usc they. Play him september twenty Sixth what
Speaker 1: WOULD you think oregon at usc would be right now
Speaker 1: if you had to. Put, a number on that well.
Speaker 1: We don't have to guess. FanDuel might hit us up this,
Speaker 1: number is not available yet but he said if they
Speaker 1: had to, Put that number up today Oregon Minus Six In.
Speaker 1: The los angeles memorial coliseum so, if they GET upset
Speaker 1: early here's why i don't think. This is Going to
Speaker 1: happen even, if oregon gets upset early they would be.
Speaker 1: On fire in that game and if, they don't get
Speaker 1: upset early it doesn't matter because the prediction is they're going.
Speaker 1: To Start two and two so i'm gonna put a
Speaker 1: nine point seventy. Five on that next up not. Done
Speaker 1: with THE hypotheticals Yet Everything. School iu from FISHER'S indiana
Speaker 1: that's not What I heard from the. New purdue Ad
Speaker 1: earlier today He Says vandy Goes into sandford stadium in
Speaker 1: week six and Wins By double. Digits with jared curtis
Speaker 1: starting curtis beats, The Program He, passed on so jared
Speaker 1: curtis five star true Freshman quarterback was committed To georgia
Speaker 1: decommits signs with vandy probably going to. Be their starter
Speaker 1: this year this is. A nine point seventy five this
Speaker 1: Is an extremely Bold Prediction vandy going into sandford stadium.
Speaker 1: AND winning by Double digits I hit, Up, FanDuel and,
Speaker 1: i said hey this game you don't have. An number
Speaker 1: on it yet what would it? Be if it happened
Speaker 1: today georgia. Minus eighteen and A half so we're asking
Speaker 1: vanderbilt to go in there and not only win as
Speaker 1: an eighteen, and a half point dog they got. To
Speaker 1: win by Ten plus the last time georgia got beat
Speaker 1: that badly at Home. Was twenty fifteen by alabama the
Speaker 1: last time, they lost a game period it was by
Speaker 1: it Was. At the hands of. Vama it was last,
Speaker 1: year it was very close. And Consider what it took
Speaker 1: ty simpson was like thirty eight to thirty nine on.
Speaker 1: Third downs in that game that's What it took to
Speaker 1: Beat georgia at home and i'm about to watch true
Speaker 1: freshman walk in. There and do it comfortably there's no
Speaker 1: way outside, of like a minus four Minus. Five turnover
Speaker 1: day by georgia there's. Just No way that happens so
Speaker 1: i'm going to put a nine, point seventy five on that.
Speaker 1: And then the last one this one probably chewed up.
Speaker 1: Most of My. Time TODAY andrew From Louisville the acc
Speaker 1: and big twelve will combine from MORE. Playoff Teams than
Speaker 1: the sec now i'm gonna put a. Nine point five,
Speaker 1: on this so calm down, stop yelling at your phone
Speaker 1: and just. Consider this for a second FanDuel. Odds to
Speaker 1: make the playoff out, of the top seventeen teams eight OF,
Speaker 1: them are from the sec two Of them are FROM.
Speaker 1: The big twelve And acc so, you got Miami In
Speaker 1: there you. Got texas tech IN there there are. Eight
Speaker 1: SEC teams in there now, I, was thinking to myself
Speaker 1: okay what would, the worst case scenario be what would
Speaker 1: HAVE to. Happen, for the, sec here well. To me
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple georgia and texas are elite teams and
Speaker 1: the rest. Of the league is average that's pretty much.
Speaker 1: What Would Have to happen so georgia texas are undefeated
Speaker 1: or one Lost, teams they play in atlanta, they're both
Speaker 1: in the playoff and then the next best team is
Speaker 1: like eight and four, the nine game league schedule just
Speaker 1: choose everyone up and there's. No other playoff, caliber team
Speaker 1: if that happens then this, is possible because you know
Speaker 1: you've got to have AT least one from the Acc And,
Speaker 1: one from the big twelve so she'd. Already be two
Speaker 1: to two but REMEMBER the prediction Is The acc and
Speaker 1: the big twelve combined to have MORE, playoff teams than
Speaker 1: the sec. So they. Need three minimum could. Happen here's
Speaker 1: what's more likely what's more likely is even if, the
Speaker 1: SEC's down this year they. Probably get three, teams in
Speaker 1: that's More Likely which MEANS the big twelve and acc.
Speaker 1: Have to combine for FOUR and that's really. Where i
Speaker 1: have a problem Like You got To Have. Texas tech and,
Speaker 1: brigham young they separate entirely and it's Like, undefeateds facing
Speaker 1: off in arlington or maybe undefeated versus one loss and
Speaker 1: the one loss team wins the conference title and they,
Speaker 1: both go To the playoff and then miami RUNS, the
Speaker 1: LEAGUE in The acc but smu or Louisville. Or a
Speaker 1: surprise like. Clemson they're in the mix that's kind, of
Speaker 1: what has to happen and it's just tough to. Have
Speaker 1: All that come together so i'm gonna put a nine,
Speaker 1: point five on, that one lengthy show tonight But necessary
Speaker 1: because it is august and so we are getting very Very,
Speaker 1: close to fall camp scrimmages which is. Really when, the
Speaker 1: season starts to me but. Appreciate you guys so. Much
