1 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: I think we know all need to just be careful 2 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: and take one step back. There's that moment when you've 3 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: learned to swim, and therefore you can walk into the 4 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: deep end where your feet no longer touch the bottom 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: of the pool anymore, and you're like, oh, I'm swimming. 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: That's where we are right now. We've got to make 7 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: sure we can swim. So in college football terms and 8 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: practical worldview terms, that means you better know what you're 9 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: talking about before you run that mouth too much to 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: your friends. And I'm talking to me just as much 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: as I'm talking to you, guys. Let me give you 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: an example. Well, first, let me tell you it's Thursday, 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: November thirteenth, the Earl or twenty twenty five. Let me 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: tell you're jam Pack. Let me tell you what. Hi 15 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: A top an anxious downtown Nashville, Tennessee. I just chugged 16 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: an entire mug of coffee right before we came on air. 17 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: So I'm good, I'm great, I'm wonderful. Ignore me scratching 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: my neck. But the warning I'm trying to give is, 19 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: for example, I was walking through the office today and 20 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: I look up on the screen and I see a 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: lower third, and there is a network talking about whether 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: the SEC should get half a dozen teams into the playoff, 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: And I thought to myself self, are you partially responsible 24 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: for this kind of rhetoric? 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: Maybe? 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: So we're going to do our best to fire hose it. 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna put out the fire. We didn't start the fire. 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna put out the fire tonight. Because I think 29 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: I've identified some disaster scenarios for the SEC. Those are 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: always popular, Jesse, right, those always do good traffic, SEC 31 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: and poison. That's our thumbnail. 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: So we're going to do that. 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: Of course it's Thursday. We're gonna do upset alerts. We're 34 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna have Cole Kublick on a little bit later. We're 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: going to talk about the aforementioned chaos scenarios. That's just one. 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: I've got more, got some stuff on LSU. We're gonna 37 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: open the mailbag. It could become a constant. On Thursday. 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna open the mailbag. First time. I think we've 39 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: done it all. So, yeah, we got a lot to discuss. 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: And did you know they're watching us in Montgomery, Alabama? 41 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: Bradley does. He hails from Montgomery, Alabama. Salem Oregon, Munsey, Indiana, Charleston, 42 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: South Carolina. They're tuned in. We are right around four 43 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty thousand subs on the YouTube channel, which 44 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: means we got twenty k more to go before the 45 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: biggest party we've ever had here. We've never had a party, 46 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: so I don't really know any party would be our 47 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: biggest party. We got video the other night. I'm gonna 48 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: save it for like the Sunday Show, to play for 49 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: you of a guy parked in his parents' driveway and 50 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: he recorded himself getting out of the car walking into 51 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: his parents' house after they had already gone to bed. Respectful, 52 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: classy picks up their phones and subscribes to the channel. 53 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: It's wholesome, it's great content, it's legal, I think in 54 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: most states, and it helps us get closer to five 55 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: hundred K. And by the way, that should only be 56 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: done under the safest of precautions. But it also should 57 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: only be if you've already subscribed to the channel, so 58 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: make sure you have. I think we're about to start 59 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: the upset Alert segment, but I also think we're going 60 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: to go late on Friday night lines tomorrow night, so 61 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: our normal time, I'll make sure you know tomorrow, make 62 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: sure you're following on Twitter and Instagram at Josh PATCFB. 63 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: So I would I'd probably say like either halftime of 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: the late games or after the early games are over. 65 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: It'll be something like that. But in the meantime, let's 66 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: talk about games. Upset Alerts Week twelve edition. We like 67 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: to on Thursdays around here go over some games presented 68 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: by flex Power, generated by flex power best generators in 69 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: the business myflexpower dot com. If you're interested, and we 70 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: like to circle some games that you know, maybe we 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: haven't picked the upset, but we're concerned. Maybe on a 72 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: scale of one to ten, we're concerned. How concerned would 73 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: we be? For example, Michigan's playing Northwestern at Wrigley Field. 74 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: I've never been to Wrigleyfield. I don't know how it 75 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: plays for a football game. Just know Michigan's favored by 76 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: eleven and a half in this game. And I'm gonna 77 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: put my upset alert concern at about a six because 78 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: I've been following Michigan pretty closely and we have made 79 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: some money this year betting Michigan. Like in the Purdue game, 80 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: for example, they were favored by way too many points. 81 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: They won, and so they're favored by eleven and a 82 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: half here. Could they lose outright? 83 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: Sure they could. 84 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: No Justice Haynes eleven am kickoff. Northwestern run defense kind 85 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: of leaky, but it's kind of a condensed game as well. 86 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: So if you come out of the bye week and 87 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: you're starting to off a little slow like we saw 88 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: Alabama do last week, yeah, it could be that kind 89 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: of game. Good defense is here, though, Like Northwestern not 90 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: a bad team, not a bad team this year. They've 91 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: pushed some folks, they beat some folks. It's just the 92 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: kind of game where you find out how much your 93 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: team's been paying attention to the noise. The noise being 94 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: some people are starting to wake up to the idea 95 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: that Michigan is still in the running for a playoff spot. 96 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: Of course they are. They're still in the running for 97 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship. But now in November is when 98 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: you start to see the horizon and you can see 99 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: that Ohio State logo on the horizon, and everyone starts 100 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: assuming you'll just still be a ten and two team 101 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: when you get there. Make sure you're still a two 102 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: loss team when you get there. That is well within 103 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: your control. I'm putting a six on this because I 104 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: think Northwestern can make games ugly and Michigan should, but 105 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: will they That's kind of my vibe on this one. 106 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: Next up, South Carolina goes to Texas A and M 107 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: this Saturday. You know what South Carolina's record is right now, 108 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: They're sitting there at three and six. They got three 109 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: games left. By our math, they gotta win them all 110 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: if they want to make a bowl game. I've got 111 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: a piece of paper in front of me. You hear that. 112 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: That's the sound of nothing. Nothing on this piece of 113 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: paper indicates that South Carolina is getting ready to spring 114 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: an upset. We just watched A and M come out 115 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: of their bye. They went on the road last week. 116 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: They won in pretty convincing fashion. Look, Lenora Sellers could 117 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: have a Superman game here and A and M still win, 118 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: just kind of win closer, you know, maybe not cover, 119 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: but still win. A and M's ground game against the 120 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: number eighty two run defense in the country. I tried, guys, 121 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: I have a very hard time. I'm gonna put a 122 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: two on it, just cause South Carolina has good athletes 123 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: on the field. Technically, anything can happen. This would be tough. 124 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: There would have to be a lot of help given 125 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: to South Carolina by Texas A and M for this 126 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: to happen. 127 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: Who knows. 128 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a crazy minus four turnover game and it 129 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: goes down to the final minutes. But there's a lot 130 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: that has to go right. So I'm gonna put a 131 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: two on it and we'll just monitor it. Next up, 132 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: this one, I've got a little more concerned about. It's 133 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: NC State versus Miami. Now Miami's a fifteen and a 134 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: half point favorite. Miami's got totally new life. You thought 135 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: maybe when they were headed home from Dallas they just 136 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: lost their second game to SMU, they may be out 137 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: of the playoff picture. Then the rankings come out and 138 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: they were eighteenth, and you're like, wow, they don't really 139 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: have any big time opponents left either. How are they 140 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: gonna climb all the way up? Well, they climbed three 141 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: spots last week, and we did the little exercise on 142 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: Tuesday where we showed you everyone who's ahead of Miami 143 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: and the hurdles they still have to clear. There's no 144 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: doubt that some of the shrubbery will get cleared ahead 145 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: of Miami as long as they stay on the path 146 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: of ten and two. As long as they can do that, 147 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: then there will be a path for them. Well, this 148 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: is the first of their three remaining hurdles. It's their 149 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: last home game. They go on the road to Virginia 150 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: Tech next week. They go to at pitt the week 151 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: after that. So this profile similar to the SMU game 152 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,119 Speaker 1: I think from Miami. NC State's got the second worst 153 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: pass defense in the country. SMU's got the worst. So 154 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: remember we looked at that game and we said, Carson Beck, 155 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be his game against SMU. Because the plays 156 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: are there to be made in the secondary, you gotta 157 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: make them. Well, they didn't make enough of them, and 158 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: they ended up with a costly turnover down to the 159 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: goal line. So again, you should be able to throw 160 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: the ball effectively. 161 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: Here. 162 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: NC State's got a top twenty five passing offense. Can 163 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: they threaten Miami's secondary. It's not gonna be a situation 164 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: where you get up, you know, like seventeen to six 165 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: and just kind of wait it out. NC State can 166 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: score like they can't. They possess the capability to do that. 167 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: So you need offensive consistency, you need rhythm, you need 168 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: good effectiveness in your passing game. Will you get that 169 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: Their run defense at NC State has been decent, So 170 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: Miami probably needs to throw the ball to win this 171 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: game for that reason, because of some of the inconsistency 172 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: that's been there. I'm gonna put a five on this. 173 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: I have already seen Miami lose what a couple of 174 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: games as a double digit favorite this year, so that 175 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: it just cause that's a fifteen and a half there, 176 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't make me worry about this game any less 177 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: than I otherwise would have. I'm gonna put a five 178 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: on it now. If they win forty two to three, 179 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: then I start buying into the hype again. Florida at 180 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: ole miss got some buddies going to this game. They 181 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: circled it early in the year, in the summer even, 182 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: and they said, that's the one we've never been to 183 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: the grove, that's the one that one's really gonna pop off. 184 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: Florida Napier got lagway back man, one of the most 185 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: experienced teams, really talented. Nope. As it turns out, Nope. 186 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: Is Florida motivated or are they dead? Because we saw 187 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: him motivated against Georgia and we saw him dead against Kentucky. 188 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: I leaned towards the latter. I think it was a 189 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: tap out moment. Last week they were a no show. 190 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: It's the second leg of back to back road games. 191 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: Here. 192 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: Ole Miss has got everything in the world to play for. Also, 193 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: Ole Miss has got a revenge spot on their hands here. 194 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: They know if they win, they're in. It's not officially 195 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: labeled that. Nobody from the committee hit us up and 196 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: told us that, but Ole Miss. If they win this game, 197 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: they've got Mississippi State left. 198 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: That's it. 199 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: The worst they could be is ten and two. If 200 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: they win this game, and I think they're going to 201 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a three on it because of the 202 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: athletic profile that Florida has. But they're banged up. They 203 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: got guys that are probably out for the rest of 204 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: the year. I just would have a hard time seeing 205 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: Old Miss overlook this, and they're just they're the better team. 206 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: And Lane Kiffin, I don't know which of these teams 207 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna be the head coach for next year, but 208 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: I know he's the head coach at Old Miss right 209 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: now and that will matter. So give me a three 210 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: on the upset alert concern meter. Utah at Baylor told 211 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: you Utah has got a sneaky, tough road. The rest 212 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: of the way. Baylor, Kansas State, and Kansas are not 213 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: ranked in the top twenty five, but we've got them 214 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: power rated all in the top thirty five. So not 215 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: elite opponents, but not bad opponents. Utah's trying to get 216 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: one of those A large spots. They got an elite 217 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: pass defense, and that's gonna be how Baylor tries to 218 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: beat them. Sawyer Robinson, that Baylor passing attack, that's how 219 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: they have to win. They don't run the ball great, 220 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: and that, ironically is how you would challenge Utah. You 221 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: would challenge them that way, but you can't if you 222 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: can't run the ball. It's like the total inverse of 223 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: how we describe the Alabama Oklahoma game, where that is 224 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: strength on weakness. Well, we got weakness on weakness here. 225 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know that Baylor can fully take advantage 226 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: of what's there maybe to be taken advantage of. And 227 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: Baylor cannot stop the run. I don't think effectively enough 228 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: against Utah, and I think Utah can run it all night. 229 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: I'll put a five on it. The model actually loves Baylor. 230 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see it. I think Utah understands. Maybe, 231 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: just maybe that door is still cracked open. Now. I've 232 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: got empower rated as the best team in the Big 233 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: Twelve right now. Controversial, I know, but either way, if 234 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: you agree with that or not, they're still a good team. 235 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put a five on it, and then 236 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: the last one we'll stay in that conference. Nobody is 237 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: talking about this. Nobody is talking about BYU. Oh they're 238 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: talking about them, They're just not talking about who they 239 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: play this week. TCU is at Brigham Young. This week 240 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: at Brigham Young, with home field advantage factored in, BYU 241 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: is a three and a half point favorite. That's basically 242 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: implying their equal on the neutral field TCU. Two of 243 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: TCU's three losses are by a field goal, very close losses. 244 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: They just lost to Iowa State. I believe last week 245 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: They've got a top ten passing offense TCU decent run defense. 246 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: It may be the same script as last week. You 247 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: get a lead on Brigham Young, force them to try 248 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: and throw the ball to catch up. TCU's got one 249 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: hundred and fourth ranked pass defense in the country. So 250 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: if Brigham Young can throw the ball. They can win 251 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: this game and win it convincingly. Can they do it? 252 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Is the question? Can they do it? I think it's 253 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: a very dangerous game. So I'm gonna put an eight 254 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: and a half on this, I mean implied neutral field 255 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: equal team. So yes, I'm gonna put an eight and 256 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: a half on it. And everybody's looking at Brigham Young like, 257 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: oh man, And could they get back to Dallas, could 258 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: they get back to the Big twelve championship game? Do 259 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: they gotta win this week? And then they got Cincinnati 260 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: coming up. I believe they gotta win this week, So 261 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put an eight and a half on that one. 262 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: We will be in Athens, Georgia for Texas Georgia. We're 263 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: headed down there tomorrow, actually courtesy of our friends at 264 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: quick Trip, fueling us every step of the way. We 265 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: appreciate them so much. We're actually gonna hang out with them. 266 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: They are doing an activation down there right out front, 267 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: I believe, of the Miller Learning Center, and they're gonna 268 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: gonna have autographs not by me, by actual people who 269 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: played at the University of Georgia. Free coke floats not 270 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: to be confused with the movie Hope floats. They could 271 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: show it for all I know. They haven't told me 272 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna do that. Quick reminder, our best selling fall 273 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: Don't Live shirt to date was last week. It was 274 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: the Lubbock T shirt. The Athens T shirt is right 275 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: on its heels right now, available for about two more 276 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: days through Saturday, and it's gone forever. I can't even 277 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: get it after that. I probably could, but I shouldn't 278 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: be able to. So paystatematerial dot Com right now and 279 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: it'll be probably right there on the front page. You 280 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: can get it there. All right, let's move on. Do 281 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: you want chaos? Do you want playoff chaos? Well, there 282 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: are several ways this could happen. Just when that playoff 283 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: picture starts to look nice and neat and tidy, I 284 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: come to. 285 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: You with this. 286 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: Everyone out there seems to be talking about how many 287 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: teams the SEC can get in the playoff. We did 288 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: it last week, and I said, hey, there's a chance 289 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: there are as many as seven SEC teams that finish 290 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: the season with two or fewer losses. It's not that 291 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: hard to picture. Oklahoma goes undefeated the rest of the way, 292 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: Texas goes undefeated, Vandy wins out. You probably have A 293 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: and M Bama, Georgia, Olmess, Texas, ou Vandy. That's seven 294 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: SEC teams that finished with two losses or fewer. Everyone's 295 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: having fun with that. But no what I'd like to 296 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: do while everyone else is zigging, I'd like to zag 297 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: here for just a second. What about the SEC contender 298 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: collapse conundrum? Tough, but we powered through. 299 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 2: It there. 300 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: Because no one's talking about that, it seems you know, 301 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: Alabama plays Oklahoma this week. 302 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: They could lose the game. 303 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: Do you know the position that would put Alabama in 304 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: That would make them nine and two after they play 305 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: Eastern Illinois next week, going to Auburn with their playoff 306 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: lives on the line, needing to win the Iron Bowl. 307 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: I don't need to tell Obama fans what it's like 308 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: to have anything of consequence on the line going to 309 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: Jerdenhair Stadium. No one's mind is even going there. Everyone's 310 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: got Bama penciled in to Atlanta first round by maybe 311 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: or maybe they don't make the playoff. That's in the cards. 312 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: Georgia plays Texas day after tomorrow. They could lose the game. 313 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: They could play Georgia Tech and lose lost team out 314 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: not in the playoff. It's right there, Like that game 315 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: against Georgia Tech. I know it says at Georgia Tech, 316 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: it's really in Mercedes Benz Stadium because sadly, Georgia Tech 317 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: took a paycheck in exchange for moving the game. I'm 318 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: not gonna fault anyone. I just hate that it exists. 319 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: But those are both losable games. Georgia could be out. 320 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: They could be done just like that. What about Texas. 321 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: It's a lot easier to see Texas being out. They're 322 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: a six and a half point dog against Georgia Saturday. 323 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: They also play Arkansas, they play Texas A and M. 324 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: It's still a really tough road for Texas. Texas could 325 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: easily be out. Oh, you could lose to Bama this weekend, 326 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: or lose to Missouri or lose to LSU. They could 327 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: easily be out. Vanderbilt plays Kentucky and then goes to Tennessee. 328 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: One more loss there, they're done. My point there is 329 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: it's tough for me to envision A and M not 330 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: making the playoff. It's tough for me to envision Ole 331 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: miss not making the playoff. But outside of that, there's 332 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: easily path where Bama falls out or Georgia falls out, 333 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: or Texas falls out, or Oklahoma falls out, or Vandy 334 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: falls out, or a combination of all of them fall out. Yeah, 335 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: that can happen. And don't let the aggregation sites tell 336 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: you it can't. Don't let press conferences. 337 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 2: Tell you it can't. 338 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: It It most certainly can. Wouldn't be great for business 339 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: in some corners of this country, but it certainly could. Now, 340 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: on a related note, as we look to the SEC's 341 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: neighbors to the north, the Big Ten, what about what 342 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: we are calling the Big ten flood conundrum, not the 343 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: Great flood, just normal garden variety figurative flood. Here, follow 344 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: me on this. I know some of you are visual learners. 345 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: I am too, especially if you're on podcasts. I'm gonna 346 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: walk you through it. It's actually not that complicated, all right, 347 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: Right now, what is everyone thinking about the Big Ten? 348 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: They're thinking, Ohio State's in, Indiana's in Oregon gonna be in. 349 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: So they'll have three teams, you know, maybe maybe they 350 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: get a fourth team. That's kind of where the general 351 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: national consensus is. I've thought, all right, well, let's just 352 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: tinker with it a little bit. Immunity. Let's just move 353 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: some things around. Let's say USC wins out. What does 354 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: that include, Well, that includes them beaten Iowa, it includes 355 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: them going to Oregon and winning next week, and it 356 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: includes them beating UCLA. USC finishes ten and two. They 357 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: may even have found their way into the Big Ten 358 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: Championship game, but at worst they're at ten and two, 359 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,239 Speaker 1: almost certain to be an at large playoff team. What 360 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: if Michigan wins out, that means they beat Northwestern, they 361 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: beat Maryland, and they beat Ohio State at the end 362 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: of the year. And before you say it's improbable, I've 363 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: said it the last four years and been wrong, So 364 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait. I'm not gonna be that guy again. 365 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: Michigan would be ten and two. Now here's what you 366 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: really need to remember. Michigan's got one conference loss, So 367 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: does that point Ohio State? If Ohio State loses to Michigan, 368 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: they've both got one conference loss. Michigan's got the tiebreaker. 369 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: If Indiana's in Indianapolis awaiting their opponent, Michigan would get 370 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: the nod over Ohio State. The only question at that 371 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: point would be how does the USC factor into that? 372 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: And I don't even know the Big Ten tie breaker scenario. 373 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: But at the very worst, there's a ten and two 374 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: Michigan sitting there. They're going to the playoff if they 375 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: beat Ohio State. They've got the best win in the 376 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: country at the very end of the year. Ten and 377 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: two Michigan's going to the playoff if Oregon just loses 378 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: to USC, but otherwise they went out Oregon's ten and two. 379 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: That's it. That's all I have to say. 380 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: Okay, so I just need a couple of things to 381 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: happen that are well within the realm of possibility, and 382 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: the Big Ten with all of a sudden, have five 383 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: playoff caliber teams. Ohio State would be there, Indiana would 384 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: be there, Michigan, Oregon, USC, They're all there. And what 385 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: if the perfect combination happens. What if after all the 386 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: talk over the past month of how many teams the 387 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: SEC could get in half dozen or more maybe, and 388 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: after all the talk of hey, could it just be 389 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: Ohio State in Indiana and that's it? What if the 390 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: Big Ten has more playoff teams in the SEC? Woooo? 391 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: And then we haven't even talked about the ACC doomsday scenario. Well, 392 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: actually we did. We talked about it Tuesday night. The 393 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: ACC doomsday scenario is just where the ACC does not 394 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: get a playoff team. In what would happen in the 395 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: ACC doomsday scenario, I'll lay it out for you again 396 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: if you missed the Tuesday show, But what would happen 397 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: is two G five teams would make the playoff. And 398 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: since we're still so early in the playoff, what you've 399 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: really seen is you've seen one version of the twelve 400 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: team playoff. We've seen one year of it, and then 401 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: otherwise you've just seen projections and hypotheticals sketched on napkins 402 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: and pizza boxes. You haven't really seen the real thing 403 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 1: play out but once so, we really don't know what 404 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: can and can't happen. For instance, there is a crowd 405 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: out there that tells themselves G five Conference not G 406 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: five Power four Conference champs will always have a way 407 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: into the playoff. Most of America actually thinks Power four 408 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: conference champs are guaranteed a playoff spot. They don't even 409 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: know the rules. That is not the rule, that is 410 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: not the way it's written at all. That's not the 411 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: structure of the playoff. The structure is this, Remember this, 412 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: it's five and seven seven at large spots five spots reserved. 413 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: Follow me here for the highest ranked conference champions. It 414 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: didn't say Power four. It's just always been assumed that 415 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: if you're taking five conference champs, easily, the Power four 416 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: conference champs will be among the five highest ranked. They're 417 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: even giving you wiggle room there, like you don't even 418 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: need to be top four. A G five conference champ 419 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: could even be ahead of you. But surely two G 420 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: five conference champs would never be ahead of a Power 421 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: four conference champ. Well, I thought that too, enter Duke. 422 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: Duke right now has four losses. They're five and four, 423 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: but they only have one loss in conference play. Now, 424 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: it's still a little bit of a long shot, but Duke, 425 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: if they beat Virginia and North Carolina and Wake Forest 426 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: will go to Charlotte to play for the conference title. 427 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: That probably played Georgia Tech. We'll see about that. And 428 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: regardless of who they play, that'd be in Charlotte. If 429 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: they win the game, they would be a nine to 430 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: four conference champion, a four loss team. And at that point, 431 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: here's what we have to ask ourselves. I'm almost certain 432 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: the American conference champ will be ranked higher than Duke. 433 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: That may be Tulane, it may be South Florida. Either 434 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: one of them would be ranked higher than Duke. Already, 435 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: we know that South Florida's ranked twenty fifth in the 436 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: committee poll, so we know where they're ranked. So the 437 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: conference champ there is going to be in the twenty 438 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: to twenty five range they'd be in. Here's what we 439 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: don't know. If James Madison runs the table. I think 440 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: they play like Coastal Carolina there it is they play 441 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: app State, they play Washington State, and they play at 442 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina. If they run the table, the question is, 443 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: in this scenario, are they ranked higher than Duke. If 444 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: they are, the ACC's conference champ is getting left out 445 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: of the playoff. Now I've heard some theories on what 446 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: the Playoff Committee would do here. There is a theory 447 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: out there. It's a little conspiratorial, which is fine. It's 448 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: the playoff Committee we're talking about, after all. There's a 449 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: theory out there that if you watch the Playoff Committee 450 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: rankings or you look at them, you'll notice they don't 451 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: show you past twenty five. They show you one through 452 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: twenty five, and if there's no G five team in 453 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: the top twenty five, they let you know who the 454 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: highest ranked G five team is now in this case, 455 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: there is a G five team in the top twenty five, 456 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: it's USF. We don't know where James Madison is ranked, 457 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: but there are context clues, so it's not like we 458 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: don't have any idea where jmu is ranked. Right now. 459 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: The Playoff Committee rankings pretty closely mirror what the AP 460 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: pole is. The AP pole has USF twenty five as well, 461 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: it has James Madison twenty fourth. So either the Playoff 462 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: Committee rankings wildly deviate when it comes to James Madison, 463 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: or James Madison's pretty comparable right now in resume to USF. 464 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: And if that's the case and they both went out 465 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: and they win their conference championships, they're not dropping, They're 466 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: only going to elevate, So they would I would assume 467 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: both be in the twenty to twenty five range. At 468 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: that point, You've got to ask yourself how highly would 469 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: the committee put a nine to four ACC champ Duke 470 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: who has not played a murderer's row of a schedule 471 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: at all and has lost to Tulane and Yukon and 472 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: got smoked by Illinois. So they did nothing out of conference. 473 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: They didn't accomplish anything out of conference just happened to 474 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: win their conference. That's the acc doomsday scenario and the 475 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: only hope there is maybe Miami grabbing in that large spot. 476 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: But Miami could drop a game too, like Pitt loses 477 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: to Notre Dame this weekend and then beats Miami. Very 478 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: very conceivable, is my point. So, man, those two G 479 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: five teams making it, and you know how angry and 480 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: irate people would be. Can you imagine selection Sunday where 481 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: a power for conference is told you're not in at all. 482 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: We're taking twelve teams and you're not not. Even your 483 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: conference champ is good enough to make it. That In 484 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: the words of Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park, that is chaos. 485 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: You don't have to live a chaotic life, at least 486 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to electricity. When it comes to power, 487 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: you can always have it and the city can either 488 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: provide it to you or flex power can through a generator. 489 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: Peate State runs on flex power portable generators. Some of 490 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: you don't know that, but we do. Longtime friends of 491 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: the show, these are people we deal with personally. These 492 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: are people who watch the show, who listen to the show, 493 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: who correspond with us regularly, so it's not some strange 494 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: company and some strange land and they just paid us 495 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: some money and we slap their logo on a monitor. 496 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: That's not what this is, candidly, that's not how any 497 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: of our ad partnerships work. So flex Power in classic 498 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: Peate State Partnership fashion has been asked to give away 499 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: generators by me. I want to give away generators, and 500 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: so they've said, hey, these things cost like eight hundred 501 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: bucks and I'm like, I know, and then they're like, okay, 502 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: let's give some away. So we've actually had a couple 503 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: of different ideas on how to give them away. Some 504 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: of you have already taken me up on this. The 505 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: one way, which I think is the easiest way is 506 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: just record a video tell me why you need a 507 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: free generator, and then post it on social use that 508 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: hashtag flex power. Flex gotten some good submissions already. You 509 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: can do that. We're gonna give one away each Sunday 510 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: for the next three Sundays. Or you can go to 511 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: my flexpower dot com slash pate and you can just 512 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: enter to win one in our November giveaway. So we're 513 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: trying as best we can to give away some really 514 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: really high commodity flex power generators to you. We appreciate 515 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: them generating the show. Like right now, Jesse, you couldn't 516 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: even see me if not for a flex power generator, 517 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: you may think to yourself, Oh, man, if y'all were 518 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: running that studio on a generator, i'd be able to 519 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: hear it. Not those flex power generators. We're not really 520 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: running the studio on a generator, but we could. That's 521 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: the point we could. Let's move on, got a lot 522 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: still to get to. Got cublic in the on deck circle. 523 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: He's just kind of warming up. Oh he's got a 524 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: donut on his bat that's adorable. I promised you guys, 525 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: I was going to answer some questions on the show, 526 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna answer some questions on the show. Matthew 527 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: from Baton Rouge, Louisiana hit us up. He said, how 528 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: fast have a turnaround could LSU have if they hire 529 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: the right coach? Pretty quick? You're gonna hire the right coach, 530 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: I mean, before you hire the right coach. I got 531 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: to know how the operation's working down there, I said 532 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: the other night, and I took some criticism for it. 533 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: The LSU search hasn't even had a chance to really 534 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: get started because there's been a mess behind the scenes 535 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: and the public spectacle of the lawsuit. I don't care 536 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: who's Sue and who. By the way, that public spectacle 537 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: is really ugly. It's a turnoff for prospective candidates. 538 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 2: Guys. 539 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: I'm not guessing on that stuff. I'm right on it. 540 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: I know what I'm talking about. I'm not just like spitting. 541 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 2: Into the wind. 542 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: Say oh, I think I'll say this on the show tonight. 543 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: So I am biased pro LSU. So if anyone wants 544 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,959 Speaker 1: them to get their act together, I do. But you 545 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: don't need to run to the message board and trash 546 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: me just because I said something you don't like. You 547 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: don't like that what was said was true, you should 548 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: not like me. I'm just telling you the truth. So 549 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: let's say they get their act together. I'm very hopeful 550 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: they will. Look at my fingers crossed him, very hopeful 551 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: they will. If they do, then yes, they could get 552 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: turned around really quickly. Lane Kiffin, I know you see 553 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: a lot of reporting on him. I know that there's 554 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: a lot of speculation in this and that Lane Kiffin 555 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: I think will have an opportunity to have this job. 556 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: That's what I think. I don't know that, because no 557 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: one from LSU has told me that, But I think 558 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: he will. You get enough, You get enough t leaves 559 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: since your way that I think he will. Don't know 560 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: if he's gonna take it or not. Don't even know 561 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: if he finds it the most desirable of the options 562 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: that are going to be on the table for him. 563 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: Let's just see how ole Miss also chooses to handle 564 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: Lane in the coming days. Because I mean, I've got 565 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: my theories on how I would handle it if I 566 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: were Keith Carter the ad there, which matters about as 567 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: much as any other words coming out of my mouth. 568 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: But if I were an ad, I gotta have an answer, man. 569 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: I can't just sit here and twist in the wind. 570 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 1: So that matters. How ls you've used Lane matters, How 571 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 1: Lane views LSU matters. But whether it's him, whether it's Freeman, 572 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: if you could get Freeman, that would be awesome, or 573 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: whether it would be John Sumrawler, whoever it would be, 574 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: that's desirable enough to you. Just remember the rules here. 575 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: The rules are. This is LSU. When it's operating functionally, 576 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: it is among the best, if not the best jobs 577 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: in college football. I believe that. And regardless of whether 578 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: you believe it, believe me when I tell you many 579 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: of the names on that list believe it, and many 580 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: names that aren't on that list believe it. Like even 581 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: guys who aren't interested in coaching in college would tell 582 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: you if I was interested in coaching in college, that's 583 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: the job I'd want. So we don't have to we 584 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: don't have to doubt whether it's an unequivocal upgrade from 585 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: the place most guys are at. If all the alignment 586 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: is there, that's the only obstacle here. The only obstacle 587 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: is in this day and age. In the modern day 588 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: and age, it's not nearly as common sense a move 589 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: to take the LSU job for guys, guys that are 590 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: in different positions than it used to be used to be. 591 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: You'd crawl over broken glass to go from having a 592 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: job at ole miss to having a job at LSU 593 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: or anywhere else. Now it's got to be an unequivocal upgrade. 594 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: And if you don't have that alignment, there's all this 595 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: infighting perceptionally or in reality. If the political scene looks 596 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: like it's a mess, and you're the least bit worried 597 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: about how it's going to play out down there, Unlike 598 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: years past, where you may bite the bullet on all 599 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: that because of the resources LSU offers you in return, 600 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: you probably got pretty good resources right now. If you're 601 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: good enough for them to be offering you the job, 602 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: you're probably at a place that you got pretty good 603 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: resources at right now. So it's got to be an 604 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: unequivocal upgrade. If it is that, if it has its 605 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: affairs in order, yes, yes they can get that thing 606 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: turned around. The other question I've had about this is 607 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: number one, it's all about the staff you bring in 608 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: with you. That's with any head coach. I don't care 609 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: who it is. I'm caring more about the staff than 610 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: even I am the head coach. And then number two, 611 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: there are some people already in the building down there 612 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: that are among the best in the world at what 613 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: they do. You could be talking about Blake Baker, that's 614 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. You could be talking about Austin Thomas, 615 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: who's the general manager. There are a lot of people 616 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: in that building that any coach would be very blessed 617 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: to have working alongside him. But that's not always the 618 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: way it works. Like I've watched many coaching changes. I 619 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: watched when Brian Kelly came into LSU, and quite frankly, 620 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: he flushed some people in that building just for the 621 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: sake of flushing them, and I thought handled very poorly, 622 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: and since then a lot of people have complained about it. 623 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, when you come in the building, there's 624 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: some good people who are told to look elsewhere sometimes, 625 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: and that's fully the prerogative of the future head coach. 626 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: I just think the guy who walks in at Florida 627 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: is going to have it the same way. There are 628 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: some really really high level, superstar type people at Florida 629 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: in their particular role that you might be best to 630 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: just keep around to board. Did this some at Alabama 631 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: he brought in his but he also kept some of 632 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: those folks around. Why well, they were good enough to 633 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: work for Nick Saban for a long time, so they're 634 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: probably pretty good at what they do. Some of those 635 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: people exist at LSU. So yes, like if you get 636 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: the right guy, the right staff, the proper alignment, and 637 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: the right people are kept on board and then meshed 638 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: with the new people and new ideas that you bring in, 639 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: yes they could be right back to where lsu' is 640 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be absolutely yes, there there. I want to 641 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: remind you of something, and then I want to tell 642 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: you something. We're pretty deep into the show here. It's Thursday, 643 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: so I always like to reward our Thursday crowd. Those 644 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: are our diehards. I appreciate you, guys. So I want 645 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: to tell you a couple of things. Of course, the 646 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: Peate State Store is rocking. We've had our best week 647 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: ever on the Peate State Store. We've got our brand 648 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: new Tiss the season line over there. Some of our 649 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: first Christmas sweaters aready to arrive, so we put them 650 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: on sale last week. They've started to arrive for people 651 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: who ordered them. Haven't had a complaint, haven't had a complaint, 652 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: So paytstatemterial dot com. You'll see it as soon as 653 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: you get there. But you know the other night, and 654 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: this is the part where I want you to lean in. 655 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: I want you to keep this amongst ourselves right now. 656 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: You know the other night when I told you I 657 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: think we're gonna have a live show. Can you imagine 658 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: if we really did that, Jesse, if we really had 659 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: a big live show. Let's just imagine to ourselves. It's 660 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: say Atlanta Georgia the night before the SEC championship game 661 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: in early December, and we have a big live show, 662 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: Several friends of the show join us as guests, and 663 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: we have it in a pretty sizable theater there in 664 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: the Atlanta area. And let's just say that if you 665 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: went to peytstatemterial dot com right now, there was a 666 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: banner right up at the top where pre sale was 667 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: already available, tickets were already available. Let's even say if 668 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: you entered the promo code peate state in all as 669 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,919 Speaker 1: no space you got to discount on tickets. That would 670 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: be crazy. It's all hypothetical, just all hypothetical. Let's continue 671 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: another good question here. I'm excited because I can take 672 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: this question a couple of different directions. Benjamin from Saint Hedwig, 673 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: Texas said, who are your dark horse national champion contenders 674 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: this postseason? Normally what this means is take a team 675 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: that no one's talking about, like USC or someone like 676 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: that Utah. But I don't really have that, Benjamin. If 677 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: you're talking about making the playoff, I could have those. 678 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: I don't think this late in the season, when you've 679 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: watched this many teams play this many games that there's 680 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: a team that you could never imagine winning the whole 681 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: thing that's gonna really go on to win the whole thing. 682 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: Here's what I do think. We have two lanes right 683 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: now when it comes to the playoff lane. Number one 684 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,399 Speaker 1: is a boring lane if you're not an Ohio State fan. 685 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: And that is the lane where Ohio State really is 686 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,760 Speaker 1: as good as they look, maybe they even get better, 687 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: maybe they even peak at the right time. If that's 688 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: the case, Ohio State's going to win the national championship. 689 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: Case closed. There are very few teams that can match 690 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: up with them. Let's go the more exciting route and 691 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 1: the interest of you know, filling time here, creating something 692 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: that's interesting to talk about. Let's say Ohio State is 693 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: still pretty good, but let's say they show some vulnerability, 694 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: and let's say you end up looking at them come 695 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: playoff time and saying, hey, Ohio State's good. But you know, 696 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: I don't think of them the same way I thought 697 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: of them a month ago. I've seen them bleed a 698 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: little bit. I think they can be beaten. If we 699 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: live in that world, which is the world I want 700 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: to talk about here, how many teams could win the 701 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: national Championship. I'm gonna talk to Kublic about this in 702 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: a little while. I want to get his take on it. 703 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to put some higher stakes on Cublic than me. 704 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here trying to have fun with this. 705 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: But I went down the list. Right now, you see 706 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: the odds to win the whole thing are on the 707 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: screen right here. But I also have just the rankings 708 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 1: in front of me. All right, So in the world 709 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: where Ohio State's vulnerable, let's walk this through. Ohio State 710 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: can certainly win it all, no matter what. Indiana, though, 711 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: in that world, could win it all. That's a crazy sentence. Indiana, Yes, 712 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: is a contender to win the national Championship. I know 713 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: that we've gotten used to saying that. This year, I'm 714 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: still trying to get used to saying that period. All right, 715 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: So Ohio State, in Indiana, Texas, A, and M could 716 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: they win the national title? Yes? Could Alabama win the 717 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: national title? 718 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: Yes? 719 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: Could Georgia win the national title? 720 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 2: Yes? 721 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 1: So that's already five. There have been years in the 722 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: past where we couldn't even get that deep. So we're 723 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 1: already at five. Oregon, especially if they get healthy. Yes 724 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: for me, notre Dame is a yes for me. Texas 725 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: is a yes for me ole Miss, especially if they 726 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: got the right matchups and they got hot, and we've 727 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: seen Ohio State be vulnerable in this scenario, Very yes 728 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: for me. I think I counted nine that I would 729 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: put in there. I gotta be honest with you. I 730 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: skipped over Texas Tech. I still think if they have 731 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: to win three games in a row and they're facing 732 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: very very equal, if not more talented rosters, and the 733 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: staffs are really good, and quarterbacks eventually have to win 734 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: you games in the playoff, I don't know that I 735 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: elevate Texas Tech to that level. So I leave them 736 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: just outside my bubble. Good team though, I'm leaving Oklahoma 737 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: just outside that bubble. But here's the thing. If we 738 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: watch them play Bama Saturday, and Matier you rounds into 739 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 1: form again like his pre injury self. Oklahoma's one hundred 740 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: percent in this bubble. So can I have the right 741 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: to reserve or reserve the right to change? There are 742 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: no rules. We're making up the rules as we go. 743 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 1: The answer is yes, got Notre Dame in there. So 744 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: my point is we're sitting here with the second week 745 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: in November. And if we just change one thing about 746 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: the current state of the playoff, and that one thing 747 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 1: is we make Ohio State vulnerable. We got like ten 748 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: teams that could win the whole thing. Now that is crazy, 749 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: because I don't think we've ever seen a national championship 750 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: picture that wide open. We've seen the playoff picture that 751 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: wide open, not the national championship picture. Now. I left 752 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: out Miami, I left out USC. I still view them 753 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: as being on the outside looking in of being able 754 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,439 Speaker 1: to win three or maybe four games in a row 755 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: in that setting if they need to. It's a feel thing. 756 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: We could go down the list and break all the 757 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: reasons down, but that's just those teams were just on 758 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: the outside looking in for me. So I don't have 759 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: dark horses for you, but I do have a really 760 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: really wide net that I have to cast if you 761 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: just change one perceptional and that is that Ohio State's vulnerable. 762 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: Academy sports and outdoors not They're always there there as 763 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: consistent as can be. And again, in the interest of 764 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: giving a lot of free stuff away, I am happy 765 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: to inform you this Thursday evening that you need to 766 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: check your email because hundreds upon hundreds, but I don't know. 767 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: Maybe are thousand of you signed up the other night 768 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: to win the promo code? Well that twenty percent off 769 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: promo code? Was it twenty or ten? Jesse? I think 770 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: it was twenty percent off? Twenty percent off? Yeah, we 771 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: just we went to Academy and said, it's getting to 772 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,919 Speaker 1: be Christmas time, a lot of people are shopping. Can 773 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: we take twenty percent off of a bunch of folks's orders? 774 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: And they said, yeah, so we gave twenty of you 775 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,399 Speaker 1: twenty percent off. Check your email. We have sent those 776 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: promo codes out. And if you check your spam folder 777 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: and there's something there from Frate's pet state, that's not 778 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: a Somali pirate, that's Jesse. That's just Jesse is a 779 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: great country song from the nineties. That's Jesse. Is the 780 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: dude who sent you the email. So you might want 781 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: to check it because it's worth a lot of money. 782 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, Academy. We move on. Let's see I got 783 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: a one or two more things, gonna get some best bets. 784 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: Then we're gonna get a Cublick Colson from Dallas, Texas 785 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,959 Speaker 1: hitting me up. He said, give a breakdown on the show. 786 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: If you were the commissioner of college football and have 787 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: a proposal for improving the officiating mechanism across the sport. 788 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: We've heard your general issues with it, but give your 789 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: formal pitch on how you would make it better. All right, 790 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: Here's what I would do. Do we all agree with Colson? 791 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: I think we do that officiating in college football needs 792 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,919 Speaker 1: a lot to be desired. Right now. That means every 793 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: call is bad, not every game's bad, not every crew 794 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: is bad, but in general, it's my opinion that there 795 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: is really, really like an inexplicable amount of game deciding 796 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: bad officiating in college football right now. Most of you 797 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: agree with that. Most of the officials would even agree 798 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: with that truth be told. So here's what I would do. 799 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: I would get elected college football commissioner, and then I 800 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: would try and do three things. The first one is 801 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: I would nationalize officiating. It is the dumbest thing in 802 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: the world to me that we have conference officials, especially 803 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,240 Speaker 1: when we play out of conference games in college football, 804 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: and we also assign these officials to bowl games and 805 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: playoff games. And so why would I have big twelve 806 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 1: officiating crews officiating South Carolina versus Illinois in a Bowl 807 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: game makes no sense. If we're going to have it officiated, 808 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 1: why not have a top to bottom universal standard, which 809 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: I'll get into in a second. And therefore I don't 810 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: have to worry about any kind of rumor here or there, 811 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 1: or any kind of stigma here or there. Well, that's 812 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: an sec crew. That's a big twelve crew. It should 813 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,839 Speaker 1: be a college football crew. So that's the first thing 814 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: I would do. And there's a lot that comes with that. 815 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: I'll get to it in a second. Second. Thing, We're 816 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: going to be fully transparent with our officiating process. I'll 817 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: tell you why. Because we're not guarding state secrets here. 818 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: We haven't discovered a cure for an infectious disease that 819 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: we're trying to keep out of the hands of a 820 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: foreign government. It's not that secretive. We're fighting over a 821 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 1: football and trying to score more points than the other team, 822 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: and people who are dressed like zebras are trying to 823 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,959 Speaker 1: make sure some rules of the game are enforced. It's 824 00:42:55,120 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: utterly insane that we guard decisions and official in general 825 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: behind this like impenetrable curtain. Players have to answer to 826 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: the media when they screw up. Coaches have to answer 827 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: to the media when they screw up. But the official 828 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: screw up and they jet out of town. Why well, 829 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: the excuse that you're given is, well, they're just part time, 830 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: they're not even real full time employees. Make them full 831 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,399 Speaker 1: time employees. Then I'll pay each of them. Well, I'll 832 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: find some money, we'll round up some money. I'll pay 833 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,399 Speaker 1: each of them six figures per year. And therefore it's 834 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,879 Speaker 1: fully rational and fair to hold them to the same 835 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: standard that everybody else is held to. When you're paid 836 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: to do a job and you don't do it, like, 837 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,720 Speaker 1: if you don't like it, quit. Coaches have this happen 838 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: to them. Players have this happen to them. You do 839 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 1: a good job, you get praised. You do a bad job, 840 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: you get lit up. But officials, it almost turns up 841 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: the heat more. When something bad happens. There's an egregious 842 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: call or a no call, you don't even get an answer. 843 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: The closest you get to it is you're a and 844 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: you're on your message board on Monday and you're like 845 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 1: an Auburn fan. And Justin Holkinson has a news story 846 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: where he reports that he hears Auburn coaches got feedback 847 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: from the SEC that they messed up a call, according 848 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: to sources, like. 849 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 2: What are we doing? 850 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: So that's all scrapped and we are going to have 851 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 1: the white hat on the crew. The crew chief made 852 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: available to media after every college football game, and he's 853 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,879 Speaker 1: going to have to answer for the calls they made. 854 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: He's not a part time employee, he's a full time employee. 855 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: He's got salary, he's got benefits, he's living a good 856 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: life on Sunday through Friday. He's going to feel the 857 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: heat on Saturday. And you may think all that makes 858 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 1: an official's life miserable. You know what it would actually do. 859 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 1: It would make the bad ones lives measurable. The good 860 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: ones would be fine. Here's what else would happen. I 861 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 1: know this may come as a shock, but sometimes people 862 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: complain about calls that were right, but it's never properly 863 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 1: articulated to you that the call was right because the 864 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: entire functionality of the call was never explained to you 865 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: the officials made the call, it may or may not 866 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: have been articulated to the broadcast crew why the call 867 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: was made. Therefore, the broadcast crew doesn't tell you on 868 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: air why the call was made or what the call was, 869 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,280 Speaker 1: and then they're gone. They're in a van police escort 870 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: to the airport or the state line. As soon as 871 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: the game's over, and you don't hear anything. You know 872 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: what it would mean for a white hat to stand 873 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 1: in front of the media and get grilled about a 874 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,720 Speaker 1: missed call and then him be able to say, well, actually, 875 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: here's what happened. Here was the procedure, here's what we saw, 876 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: here's what the rule says, here's how we interpreted that, 877 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: and here's how we applied it. It would actually tamp 878 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: down a lot of the noise because a lot of 879 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: these calls are actually right, or at the very least, 880 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: they're within the framework of judgment at the very least, 881 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 1: or at the very worst, are there blown calls. Yeah, 882 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna chase you anyway, you might as well not run. 883 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: They chase far less if you don't run. What's the 884 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: worst it could happen? You stand there and say, we 885 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 1: may have messed that one up. 886 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 2: We know, we know you did. 887 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: Anyway, it helps to hear it. Then it helps to 888 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: hear maybe how you're gonna make sure it doesn't happen 889 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: moving forward. And then the third thing, which when I 890 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 1: talk to officials. Is the most important thing is I 891 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: would standardize the rules. Like I said, I would have 892 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,359 Speaker 1: national officials instead of conference officials. And the reason that's 893 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 1: so important is not just to remove the stigma of 894 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: favoritism one conference to the other. It's to standardize the 895 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,840 Speaker 1: enforcement procedure. Right now, the biggest hidden mess in college 896 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 1: football officiating is Conference USA officials are told to emphasize 897 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 1: things that Big ten officials are not, and Big ten 898 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 1: officials hold the flag on things that SEC officials throw 899 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: the flag for. It's so stupid. 900 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,439 Speaker 2: It's the stupidest. 901 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 1: Problem to have. It's so easily preventable. But you have 902 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 1: these silos that exist because it's kind of political and 903 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of power in the vacuum, and so 904 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: you've got these conference heads of officials then in some 905 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 1: cases hate each other, so they have their own little 906 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: fiefdoms and the only authority they have in life is 907 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: that they oversee officiating at the league level in the 908 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 1: Sun Belt or the ACC or whatnot. I'm not even 909 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: speaking about anyone in particular. I'm just randomly pulling conference 910 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: names out of thin air. It's so stupid that that exists. 911 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 1: If you rebuilt college football today. You would never build 912 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: it like that, So why does it exist like that 913 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,839 Speaker 1: right now? If you would never build it like that, 914 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,359 Speaker 1: And then I would calibrate the hiring process where it's 915 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 1: pure meritocracy. And I couldn't care less if I have 916 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,720 Speaker 1: fifteen people all from making Georgia, if they're the best 917 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,879 Speaker 1: officials in the country, they're going to officiate and they're 918 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 1: gonna lead crews all across the country. You could be 919 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 1: a guy, you could be a girl. If you're getting 920 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: my calls right, you're going to be on the cruise. 921 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 1: And the ones who screw up, I don't care what 922 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 1: their last names are. I don't care what boxes they check. 923 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: They're sitting at home because it's too important and there's 924 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: too much of your money on the line. The Rama 925 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: Noodle expresses, money is on the line. A coach's salary 926 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 1: is on the line, a player's nil dollars are on 927 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,720 Speaker 1: the line. The integrity of the game is on the line. Sorry, sorry, 928 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 1: If you want to go work as an intern for 929 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: the summer at your dad's construction company, some nepotism is 930 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: okay there, we can't have it when it comes to officiating. 931 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: And if that's a controversial stance. It's just a controversial show, Jesse. 932 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: Let's save the frate's origin for another night. I will 933 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 1: tell you that FanDuel is the exclusive odds provider of 934 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: the show. We can confirm that sources are confirming that 935 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 1: there's a lot to see a FanDuel right now if 936 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 1: you go over there. I, for instance, went there earlier 937 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,919 Speaker 1: this week, and I bet some money on Marcel Reid 938 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,319 Speaker 1: to win the Heisman. Bet one hundred dollars. Why I 939 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: don't need one hundred dollars. I already have one hundred dollars. 940 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: I say that line often, and every time I say it, 941 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: someone hits me up and says, why do you keep 942 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: saying that it's a line from the office. I don't 943 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 1: need six hundred and forty five dollars. I already six 944 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 1: hundred and forty five dollars more or less. So I 945 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: did bet Marcel Reid to win the Heisman. I love 946 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: the odds. I got him an eight plus eight fifty. 947 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:14,839 Speaker 1: You don't have to go do that. You could go 948 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 1: look if you don't want to bet. If you do 949 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 1: want to bet, you go bet Ty Simpson. You can 950 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: go bet Julian saying Jeremiah Love would have been my 951 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,879 Speaker 1: next pick. I don't think ironically he's getting enough love. 952 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: But you also got all the games there. You can 953 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 1: go to FanDuel right now and two things. Number one, 954 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,359 Speaker 1: if you're a new sign up, you could sign up 955 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,720 Speaker 1: FanDuel dot com slash Josh Pate or use that QR code. 956 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,839 Speaker 1: You can bet five dollars. If you win whatever you 957 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 1: bet the five on, you get one hundred and fifty 958 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 1: dollars in bonus bets just for signing up. It's a 959 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: great deal. The second thing you can do is go 960 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 1: to the college football tab, the NCAA football tab, and 961 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 1: we have our own area, the Josh Paate tab. That's 962 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: where the Romanodle Express picks are. It's right there. There's 963 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: a picture of it. That's what it looks like. And 964 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 1: momentarily I will add another pick on the Roman Noodle Express. 965 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: Just if you miss the show and like you're right 966 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 1: pressed last minute games are about to kick off, I 967 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: just want to go bet the Romnel Express picks. 968 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 2: They'll all be right. 969 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: There, but don't miss the show. All right, before we 970 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 1: get cublic in here, here's what we're on. We got 971 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina plus two and a half earlier this week. 972 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,760 Speaker 1: We got Alabama minus five and a half earlier this week, 973 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: and we got UAB plus eighteen and a half earlier 974 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: this week. Now, those are the three that we've been 975 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 1: on so far. I'm about to add one here. Florida 976 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: Atlantic is going to Tulane. They're getting a lot of 977 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: points plus seventeen and a half. There's a lot of 978 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,759 Speaker 1: noise about John Sumrall, and all they need to do 979 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,839 Speaker 1: is win. They don't need to cover, so I think 980 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 1: it may be about a field goal too much to 981 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,399 Speaker 1: give FAU.

Also scaling. As they 1009 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:16,680 Speaker 1: say in the industry, I keep. 1010 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 4: Getting in trouble that you don't promote that, So it's 1011 00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,320 Speaker 4: not I'm just trying to make the wife happy. 1012 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 2: That's it. 1013 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: I saw the missed call log. Tuesday Date Night podcast 1014 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 1: is actually the first product that you put out that 1015 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: I listen to every week. So I'm well aware of 1016 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 1: Tuesday Date Night podcast. I am, in fact being pressured 1017 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,840 Speaker 1: to emulate Tuesday Date Night podcasts, not entitle but in 1018 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: concept with someone in my apartment hold and I don't 1019 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: want to be specific in name names as to who, 1020 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 1: but there is someone who wants me to traffic in 1021 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:44,320 Speaker 1: that concept. 1022 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 2: So will I podcast with a puppy? Would be? Podcasts 1023 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,799 Speaker 2: with a puppy would be really hard. I don't even 1024 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 2: know why you would consider that. 1025 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, pod with the pup mainly for the acronym. 1026 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 4: So see if you hold on, if you listen, let 1027 00:52:54,600 --> 00:53:01,240 Speaker 4: me ask sleep sheets tucked in mattress underfeet or feet 1028 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 4: out of sheets at night? 1029 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 1: Feet very much out of sheets. It's the first task, 1030 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,839 Speaker 1: no matter what the temperature. Yeah, no, no, don't, I don't care. 1031 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: It's a big fight. It's a big point of contention 1032 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,400 Speaker 1: to me. That's how you gauge the quality of a hotel. 1033 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 1: People rate hotels three star, four star, five star based 1034 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 1: on cleanliness, based on whether or not you get a 1035 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 1: continental breakfast and all this other stuff, And I'm like, 1036 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:26,360 Speaker 1: how hard is it to remove the sheets from being tucked, 1037 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 1: because like some of those maids tuck those sheets all 1038 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 1: the way to the other end of the earth. 1039 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 2: And oh done. 1040 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 4: It's it's yeah, well, my wife has a militant sheet tuck, 1041 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 4: and I need my sheets under my feet at night. 1042 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 4: So that's a that's a every evening. I'm almost tearing 1043 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,959 Speaker 4: the acl kicking the sheets up, and. 1044 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,360 Speaker 2: She's just like, what are you doing? Let it go? Yeah, like, 1045 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 2: I got to get them under. 1046 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: If you've ever if you've ever even mildly hurt yourself 1047 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,799 Speaker 1: doing something that is in line with adjusting sheets, it's 1048 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: a bad feeling. It's really really a sledgehammer to the pride. 1049 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: But then you realize, I'm not arguing about this. This 1050 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,440 Speaker 1: is a non negotiable, like breathing oxygen or drinking water. 1051 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna have the sheets untucked and under the feet. 1052 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: And since you're four foot seven, you don't have to 1053 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: worry about that. But if you're you know of the 1054 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 1: height that can ride roller coasters at six Flags, it 1055 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 1: can be a little bit of an issue. Okay, that's 1056 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 1: a paper stacker. There, We move on. We were just 1057 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,319 Speaker 1: having this conversation earlier, so I wanted to get your 1058 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I'm gonna put higher stakes on you 1059 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,399 Speaker 1: than I put on myself. So there is a world, 1060 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 1: of course where Ohio State is every bit as legit 1061 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 1: as they look, and maybe they'll be the favorite to 1062 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 1: go on and win the title, and maybe they'll win 1063 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 1: the title. But that's not fun for anyone who's not 1064 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 1: an Ohio State fan to talk about in November. So 1065 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: let's say that we were to rub the magic eight 1066 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: ball and we get truth spilled to us, and it's 1067 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 1: just known truth. Ohio State's pretty vulnerable. They can be 1068 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,360 Speaker 1: beaten just like everyone else. They're just one of the 1069 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: teams in the pack right now. They happen to be 1070 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 1: number one. If I were to tell you that's the reality. 1071 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 1: And I told you you have to create your championship bubble. 1072 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 1: You can put as many teams in it as poss 1073 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,879 Speaker 1: that you think can win a national championship. You're trying 1074 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 1: to put as few teams in there as possible, but 1075 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,879 Speaker 1: if you leave someone out of the bubble then ends 1076 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 1: up winning the championship you die. How many teams are 1077 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 1: in your bubble? Yeah, no, it's not lack. 1078 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 4: We're not giving up ice cream for a year anything. 1079 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,879 Speaker 4: We're just going We're going straight to the coffin here. 1080 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 1: No, God, you're dead. You are undertaker in the ground. 1081 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 4: All right, we're leaving this thing small. What is my 1082 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 4: reward for the smaller? It is to I get like 1083 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 4: extra years on my life, if. 1084 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 1: I know that's what she said. I don't know what 1085 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 1: the reward is. I know you get to live. You 1086 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:35,320 Speaker 1: do get to live. 1087 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 2: Fair enough, and that that's a pretty big bonus. 1088 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,799 Speaker 1: And I'll give you credential to the National Championship game, 1089 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,440 Speaker 1: so you get to watch the game that you predicted 1090 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 1: in your little bubble. 1091 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:44,920 Speaker 2: Gotcha? 1092 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:49,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Indiana's obviously going to be in there. Balance 1093 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:55,560 Speaker 4: on offense, elite quarterback play, efficient offense, enough on defense 1094 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 4: to be able to be disruptive, and I think go 1095 00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 4: win a game if they had to. Texas A and 1096 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 4: M obviously is going to be there. There are some 1097 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 4: falls I think you could bring up that you may 1098 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 4: be slightly concerned about. Some people are just going to 1099 00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 4: point to rushing yards allowed. I look at that more 1100 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 4: as when you have a high impact, high risk defense, 1101 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 4: and you understand going in that you're going to take 1102 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 4: these chances, you know you're gonna get hit with some 1103 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 4: bigger plays. I'm not overly concerned about that. They can 1104 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,280 Speaker 4: pressure the quarterback. They can beat you on the ground, 1105 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 4: through the air with high percentage throws and obviously a 1106 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:25,919 Speaker 4: mobile quarterback as well. 1107 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:26,880 Speaker 2: Alabama. 1108 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 4: Is there an offense that does everything, a defense that's 1109 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 4: still morphing this late in the season, Josh. 1110 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,720 Speaker 2: They dropped eight last week twenty three times. 1111 00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,760 Speaker 4: I believe in that game against LSU, the front moved 1112 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 4: on run stunts and pressures more than I've seen a 1113 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,439 Speaker 4: move all season. So they're still morphing and changing. They're 1114 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 4: gonna be there. George is gonna be there. Similar boat 1115 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 4: to Alabama offense does absolutely everything. I think the offensive 1116 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,839 Speaker 4: line is gonna continue to grow by the time they 1117 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 4: get to second third round of the playoffs. That could 1118 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,520 Speaker 4: be an old line that they just lean on and 1119 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,320 Speaker 4: just hammer people. It's been inconsistent through the course of 1120 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 4: the year, but it could be really good as we 1121 00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:01,479 Speaker 4: get through there later. 1122 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 2: I almost feel obligated to throw Texas Tech. 1123 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,279 Speaker 4: In here because of some injuries, bouncing back and forth 1124 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,920 Speaker 4: between some guys, there's been a little bit of consistency 1125 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 4: that wasn't there at one point. But I think they 1126 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 4: have explosive capabilities on offense and they have a defensive 1127 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 4: line that can take over a game. And those are 1128 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,800 Speaker 4: two qualities that I think you have to have right 1129 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,960 Speaker 4: now to go win a national championship. Is why I 1130 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 4: would have old Miss there. Old Miss is going to 1131 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 4: be able to do multiple things offensively to generate points, 1132 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 4: to stress your offense and defense, and they do not 1133 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 4: get good enough credit for how good they are upfront defensively. 1134 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 4: Between Eccles Franklin and what they have Perkins on the 1135 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 4: edge to do different things. I don't love the second 1136 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 4: third levels as much as I have in the past, 1137 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 4: third level specifically, but they have enough to disrupt upfront. 1138 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 4: Oregon is obviously their high profile quarterback in Dante Moore. 1139 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,560 Speaker 4: With an offensive line it's a semi finals. 1140 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 2: For the Joe Moore Award. 1141 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,920 Speaker 4: They can push you around for the most part and 1142 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 4: then have speed on the outside. The defensive line also disruptive. 1143 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 4: Notre Dame is still there. I think can control the 1144 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,680 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. It'll be a different style game for 1145 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,320 Speaker 4: them if they go win it. But I couldn't leave 1146 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 4: them out just because defensively they have a chance to 1147 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 4: be elite and one that can go takeover games. And 1148 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 4: now it starts to get I think a little bit 1149 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 4: tricky because I look at Oklahoma and Texas and I 1150 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,960 Speaker 4: want to put them both in. I think Oklahoma's ceiling 1151 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 4: is a little bit higher than the Texas ceiling because 1152 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,600 Speaker 4: John Mattier can just be that much more special, I 1153 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 4: think than maybe anybody not named Ryan Wington go on, 1154 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:31,439 Speaker 4: the Texas offense. 1155 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,919 Speaker 2: Is going to be able to operate that way. 1156 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 4: Our defense is that can mitigate that limit what he's 1157 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 4: able to do by either caging him in the pocket, 1158 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 4: utilizing spy or spyes poral like we've seen Old Miss 1159 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 4: two at times of Pete Golden this year. And then defensively, 1160 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 4: if something happens and they take that Texas game plan 1161 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 4: into a postseason game and decide not to move as much, 1162 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 4: I think other teams could find the way to generate 1163 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 4: some offense. 1164 00:58:58,840 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 2: I'm not I don't have texts. 1165 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 4: I don't and I listen, Colin Simmons can take over 1166 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 4: a game. 1167 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 2: I love Tray more love Ethan Burke. 1168 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 4: I think I think Hill is maybe the best off 1169 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,480 Speaker 4: the ball linebacker in college football. 1170 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 2: The offense has been too inconsistent. 1171 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 4: I don't know if you're gonna be able to generate 1172 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,560 Speaker 4: these explosives and make people miss and get in the 1173 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 4: open field and create explosive plays. 1174 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 2: I do think it's gotten better. 1175 00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 4: But if we're talking about a playoff run against these 1176 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 4: other teams that we've mentioned, I don't think I'm gonna 1177 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 4: have the Longhorns there, and I think I'll probably cut 1178 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 4: my list off there as well. 1179 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: All right, so you're a no on USC right, correct? 1180 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:33,120 Speaker 2: Right? 1181 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: I am too. I'm about to add one more rules, 1182 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: so stay tuned. Are you a no on Miami? 1183 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 4: Unfortunately? Yes, And it's consistency only. It is not big 1184 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 4: time talent. It is not the ability to own the 1185 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. I think they can do that on 1186 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,240 Speaker 4: both sides of the ball. Consistency decision making by Carson Beck, 1187 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:54,600 Speaker 4: which consistently has not been great, have big play capabilities 1188 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,240 Speaker 4: on the perimeter, love to run around and hit people, 1189 00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 4: but just have not seen it week in week out 1190 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:00,600 Speaker 4: the way that I would. I need you to believe 1191 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 4: that you're going to run through the college football playoff 1192 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:02,959 Speaker 4: and win. 1193 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 2: All those games. 1194 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Utah, I assume no. 1195 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 4: There's a lot to like what they rely on offensively, 1196 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 4: I think would be a little bit easier to take away, 1197 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 4: even with Spencer Fano in a really physical offensive line. 1198 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 4: Devin dan Pire to me, just add libs a little 1199 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 4: bit too much, Waits holds the ball a little bit 1200 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,400 Speaker 4: too long. I think that'll have a chance to get 1201 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 4: them in trouble in one of those games we're referencing 1202 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:26,960 Speaker 4: on the way to a national championship. 1203 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,560 Speaker 1: All right, I forgot to tell you this is competitive. 1204 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 1: So the reason you have to make your bubble as 1205 01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 1: small as possible is because if anyone else in this 1206 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 1: case my bubble ends up being smaller than yours, you 1207 01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 1: also die. So I have to inform you, in the 1208 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 1: interest of fairness, I have one fewer teams in my bubble. 1209 01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:47,520 Speaker 2: Than you do. 1210 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,840 Speaker 1: Right now, are you interesting? 1211 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,360 Speaker 2: And I guess the team you left out? 1212 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 1: I let go ahead. 1213 01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 2: It's not Texas Tech. 1214 01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 4: Because we know you fell in love with Lubbock last 1215 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 4: weekend and the things you've been saying about that place. 1216 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,440 Speaker 4: You would never do such a thing to that football team. 1217 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 4: But I will go Oklahoma. I think you left Oklahoma 1218 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:07,800 Speaker 4: out and they are on my list. 1219 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 1: I left Oklahoma out, but I have Texas in, So 1220 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,280 Speaker 1: we canceled each other out there. I left Texas Tech 1221 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: out number one cause Ubbck's not playing in the playoff 1222 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 1: game Texas Tech is. And number two they're playing the 1223 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: game in Miami and not Lubbock. So I I think 1224 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,320 Speaker 1: quarterback would end up getting them in trouble in one 1225 01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 1: of these bigger games. I don't think that they could 1226 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 1: push the ball enough. I think, and you remember, you 1227 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 1: got to win three of them minimum, so you've got 1228 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 1: to stack those games on top of each other. I'm 1229 01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,560 Speaker 1: willing to bet against them doing that consistently enough where 1230 01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,200 Speaker 1: I can eliminate them and make my bubble smaller. 1231 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 4: See, I like your mission accomplished by Tee and me 1232 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 4: up to look bad in front of certain fan bases, 1233 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 4: So I wanted to make my tea higher than yours 1234 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 4: after all the play cating you did to Texas Tech 1235 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 4: fans and get it right there on top of that 1236 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 4: Tee for you to just knock them off, and they 1237 01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,080 Speaker 4: realized that that belief is just not there. 1238 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:04,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, what's crazy is how vastly you underestimate my ability 1239 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,560 Speaker 1: to seamlessly transition into taking credit from motivating a team 1240 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,760 Speaker 1: and then be right back into good graces with that 1241 01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 1: fan base. You really underestimate my ability. 1242 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 2: Good luck with that. 1243 01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the nature of good All. 1244 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 4: Right, Well, our bubbles said, have not mastered that because 1245 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 4: trust me, the fan bases that don't like me, it 1246 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 4: has been. 1247 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 2: Years and they still hate me. 1248 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 1: So you even name squirrels after yourself on various CAMPI 1249 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,920 Speaker 1: you pay the money for it out of your own pocket, 1250 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:30,200 Speaker 1: and they still hate you. 1251 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:32,480 Speaker 2: We tried, man. 1252 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 1: All right, here we go.

I don't think you do. I know, 1279 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:35,680 Speaker 1: I know how you run. 1280 01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 4: I think I think I got a credential Saturday night. 1281 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 4: If not, Josh Max is going to be in some trouble. 1282 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the last game you what's the less sporting 1283 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: event you paid to go to? 1284 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 2: Ooh? What probably calls there? 1285 01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:54,680 Speaker 4: A Braves baseball game two summers ago against the Nats. 1286 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:56,560 Speaker 2: NAT's one three to two. Yeah. 1287 01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 1: In extras or just in nine. 1288 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 2: No, it's regular nine. Okay. 1289 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 1: I went to Braves Mets in nineteen ninety three and 1290 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 1: saw Jeff Blauser hit a home run but still lose 1291 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 1: to the Mets in ten. So that was my Fulton County. 1292 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,960 Speaker 1: Fulton County Stadium only experience there, I think. 1293 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 2: Was that Piazza. 1294 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,240 Speaker 1: Uh No, he was not there. He was in LA. 1295 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: He was in LA at that time. Gotcha, good solid player, 1296 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:24,800 Speaker 1: good solid player. All Right, here we go Oklahoma Alabama. 1297 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 1: I am very nervous about because I've exposed myself because 1298 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 1: I went Alabama to win. I went Alabama pretty solidly. 1299 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 1: Now it could go way sideways with turnovers, as most 1300 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,360 Speaker 1: any game can. I'm going to count on Ty Simpson 1301 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: being able to operate that offense like he pretty much 1302 01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 1: has done all year absent a traditional ground game. People 1303 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 1: keep throwing the ou run defense in my face. I 1304 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,440 Speaker 1: have this like twisted view on this game where I 1305 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: would be more concerned about it if rushing was a 1306 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 1: more integral part of Bama's offensive profile. It's already not. 1307 01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 1: You've done a great job on this show when you've 1308 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 1: come on it documenting how they do accomplish what is 1309 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: the equivalent of running the ball. They just do it 1310 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,000 Speaker 1: different than here run through the B gap. They don't 1311 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,360 Speaker 1: do it that way, but they still accomplish it. So 1312 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,280 Speaker 1: I watched Old Miss play Oklahoma. I watched Tennessee play Oklahoma. 1313 01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: Those are the two passing attacks I would most readily 1314 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 1: compare to what Alabama can throw at you. Both of 1315 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,680 Speaker 1: them were three twenty or greater through the air, I think, 1316 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:23,520 Speaker 1: so I trust that to manifest itself into some offensive 1317 01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: production for Alabama. I also go back and watch the 1318 01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,160 Speaker 1: LSU game, which I know you have several times, and 1319 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,400 Speaker 1: you just look at how many missed opportunities there were 1320 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 1: in explosive plays downfield by like fingertips, just by inches 1321 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: here or there. So I just imagine the focus on precision, 1322 01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,680 Speaker 1: the focus on accuracy, the focus on execution and route 1323 01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 1: running and throwing the ball. This week, I for some reason, 1324 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 1: I really think it manifested itself in one of their 1325 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,880 Speaker 1: most complete looking finals on the scoreboard this week. So 1326 01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win. And it's not like some 1327 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,200 Speaker 1: blowout or anything like that, but I think they'll win. 1328 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,120 Speaker 1: I think they'll cover that five and a half. I 1329 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:01,800 Speaker 1: actually think they're going to win the game by ten 1330 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,120 Speaker 1: or more. How wrong or right do you think that is. 1331 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,400 Speaker 4: I think you're probably wrong in thinking that it's going 1332 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 4: to be a big win. There are a lot of 1333 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 4: things that could be problematic for Alabama in this game, 1334 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,800 Speaker 4: but there are not a lot of other things that 1335 01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 4: I think Oklahoma can do to say, extend the lead 1336 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,520 Speaker 4: or just walk past Alabama in this game. I love 1337 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 4: the Alabama defense being able to do some different things 1338 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 4: than they were doing six seven weeks ago. I think 1339 01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,640 Speaker 4: some of those can actually help against John Mattier. I love, 1340 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,919 Speaker 4: like save Jordan Jefferson at linebacker and his ability to run, 1341 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,440 Speaker 4: how fast he is, being able to utilize him as 1342 01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 4: somebody who sort of just negates what John Mattier can 1343 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:42,760 Speaker 4: do on the ground. We say spy all the time 1344 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,440 Speaker 4: and it doesn't always work, but understanding you guys can 1345 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,479 Speaker 4: watch Leonora's Sellers against Old Miss Pete Goding did something 1346 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 4: I'm not sure I've ever seen. 1347 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 2: He had double spies for a lot. 1348 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 4: Of the game, and I don't think people oftentimes Josh 1349 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 4: see the fact that even though the spy doesn't make 1350 01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,280 Speaker 4: the tackle, there were multiple instances. Romano I talk this 1351 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 4: on Read and react where you see Lenor Sellers kind 1352 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:04,960 Speaker 4: of start to tuck the ball and look to run. 1353 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,200 Speaker 4: You can see his helmet turn and he sees that 1354 01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,000 Speaker 4: guy four or five yards off the ball, off the 1355 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,880 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, and immediately turns to go a different direction. 1356 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 4: Like spies can operate in that instance as well, where 1357 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 4: you're just a deflector to be able to get the 1358 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 4: quarterback to leave the pocket a different way so he 1359 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,200 Speaker 4: doesn't have those direct north south runs when he decides 1360 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:23,960 Speaker 4: to tuck the ball and run, which is usually when 1361 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 4: they're most dangerous. You don't want Jometier to be able 1362 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,160 Speaker 4: to do that. If he wants to run three sixties 1363 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,240 Speaker 4: around the pocket. Try to go back and forth and 1364 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:34,080 Speaker 4: zigzag great, because the longer that lasts, the more likelihood 1365 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:35,240 Speaker 4: it is that it's going to be a play that 1366 01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,840 Speaker 4: goes into your favor to the rushing yards. It was 1367 01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:39,840 Speaker 4: interesting you said people are giving you the rush defense 1368 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 4: numbers for Oklahoma, to which everybody tells me that They'rearth's 1369 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 4: falling in going to cave in for Alabama because they 1370 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 4: can't find ways to run the football when you do 1371 01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 4: all the other things as well as Alabama does. I 1372 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 4: think it offsets a little bit of that. The goodness 1373 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:57,320 Speaker 4: for Alabama is where Oklahoma is most problematic is between 1374 01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,840 Speaker 4: the tackles and off tackle, and depending on the health 1375 01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 4: of a Mason Thomas, may not be as effective off 1376 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 4: tackle as they have been. They can work their way 1377 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,800 Speaker 4: around all of that quick throws on the perimeter. They're 1378 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 4: great with the screen game against LSU. You saw Quavis 1379 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,320 Speaker 4: on a little quick dump up the seams to the 1380 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 4: tight end. You have a receivers that can hurt you 1381 01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 4: down the field. Ty Simpson loves to work the middle 1382 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:24,000 Speaker 4: of the field, and as busy as Oklahoma is adding 1383 01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 4: defenders to the box, utilizing numbers in the box to 1384 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 4: take away the run or pressure, there will be spots 1385 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 4: over the middle of the field that are open for him. 1386 01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,160 Speaker 4: This will come down to the album offensive line just 1387 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,040 Speaker 4: keeping him clean. If they can keep defenders off of 1388 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 4: him and escape a sack, fumble, strip sack for a touchdown, 1389 01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,439 Speaker 4: a hit that sort of deflects the ball up in 1390 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,479 Speaker 4: the air and Oklahoma can intercept it. Because I still 1391 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 4: don't know how good or great the Oklahoma secondary is. 1392 01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 4: The defensive tackles are incredible, The edge defenders are really good. 1393 01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 2: The linebackers can fly. 1394 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 4: The secondary hasn't had a ton a true test this 1395 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,240 Speaker 4: year because that group has been so good. So if 1396 01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 4: Alabama can utilize quick game, quarterback run, a little bit 1397 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 4: of run game here and there, keep them off balance, 1398 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,400 Speaker 4: force them to sort of calm things down as much 1399 01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 4: as possible. 1400 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,280 Speaker 2: That's the recipe for Obama to go win this game. Now. 1401 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:21,280 Speaker 4: I we'll say this offensively, Oklahoma's kind of finding their 1402 01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 4: way a little bit the last two three games hat 1403 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 4: on a hat with that offensive line finding some space 1404 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:28,800 Speaker 4: in the run game, it's a little bit of a 1405 01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 4: different group. I think they're going to be playing from 1406 01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 4: a front seven perspective. But if they lean on that 1407 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 4: and it starts to go and I'm not talking twenty 1408 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,760 Speaker 4: thirty yard clips or twenty carries for two hundred and 1409 01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 4: eighteen yards, they just need to be in second and six. 1410 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,680 Speaker 4: They need to be in third and fours. And with 1411 01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,800 Speaker 4: John Matteer's ability to move around, if they can do 1412 01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 4: those things, I think Oklahoma can maintain possession. Then it 1413 01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,280 Speaker 4: could end up being a long day for Alabama. But 1414 01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 4: have to have those first and second downs go first consistently. 1415 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,919 Speaker 4: If Oklahoma's going to find a way to be competitive 1416 01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:58,960 Speaker 4: or win this football game. 1417 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,400 Speaker 1: Have you stood Have you done an Oklahoma game this year? 1418 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 2: No? Yeah? 1419 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 1: So have you have you watched You have not watched 1420 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 1: Matier from field level? 1421 01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:08,679 Speaker 2: Right? 1422 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 4: Not in personal? I met him at Media Days, but 1423 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,599 Speaker 4: I haven't. I haven't seen him play in person. 1424 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,599 Speaker 1: I remember I sent you that video from the Michigan 1425 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 1: game when we were there, and like everyone, everyone was 1426 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,599 Speaker 1: making a big deal about Matier's release point and how 1427 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 1: crazy it was, not low it was now. They were 1428 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:27,280 Speaker 1: using that to like disqualify for him from any legit conversation, 1429 01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:28,720 Speaker 1: which I thought was dumb. I begged him to win 1430 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: the Heisman, so obviously I was high enough on him. 1431 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: Then he got hurt and he hasn't really been the 1432 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 1: same since. But to my knowledge, like I'm trying to 1433 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,120 Speaker 1: think back, there hasn't been Has did there been that 1434 01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 1: Oklahoma game where they are like four or five balls batted? 1435 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,559 Speaker 1: It just becomes a chronic issue in game. It may 1436 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,639 Speaker 1: have happened, and I don't recall it. But I keep 1437 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,559 Speaker 1: also waiting for that game because when I sent you 1438 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,760 Speaker 1: that video, it is so glaring when you're standing there 1439 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,600 Speaker 1: and you watch how different the ball comes out of 1440 01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,680 Speaker 1: his hand, how much lower the release point is. And 1441 01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:00,719 Speaker 1: the video I sent you, I did it on purpose 1442 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 1: because you're looking at it looks like a squirrel weaving 1443 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 1: his way through trees. To watch the football weave its 1444 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 1: way through, you know, extended arms of defenders. Now, it 1445 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:12,800 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if no one gets a hand on it. 1446 01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: But as like, as much as I'm concerned about, oh, 1447 01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 1: what if this defensive pressure, what if Bama's offensive line 1448 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 1: can't hold up, what if mister one interception all year 1449 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,599 Speaker 1: ty Simpson has two of them in the first half. 1450 01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 1: As much as I think about that, I keep thinking 1451 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,679 Speaker 1: about the same thing with him, and I think about 1452 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,640 Speaker 1: how opportunistic Bama's defense has been, Like you got a 1453 01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 1: I think you got a top ten turnover ratio team 1454 01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 1: here against one in the one hundreds. And the one 1455 01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,400 Speaker 1: in the one hundreds is the road team, I think 1456 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,680 Speaker 1: we said the other night. So that's the other thing 1457 01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:41,559 Speaker 1: I think about with mateir. And then the third thing 1458 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about because you kind 1459 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,160 Speaker 1: of mentioned justin Jefferson and you mentioned the role he 1460 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,760 Speaker 1: could play in this game. Bray Hubbard got like one 1461 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:50,879 Speaker 1: of the player of the Week honors in the SEC 1462 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:51,760 Speaker 1: which is just. 1463 01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 2: Why Gray last week. 1464 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, like you think about how we were talking about 1465 01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,519 Speaker 1: him after Week one, though, think about if you were 1466 01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 1: to it fast forwarded and you showed yourself a glimpse 1467 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,800 Speaker 1: of mid November, and this is how we're going to 1468 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:06,280 Speaker 1: be talking about the Bama defense and individually, this is 1469 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,080 Speaker 1: how we were going to be talking about this player 1470 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:09,920 Speaker 1: or that player. Oh, by the way, russav is going 1471 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,640 Speaker 1: to be out, so they're going to lose him for 1472 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,200 Speaker 1: a little while, and that's still going to be the 1473 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 1: state of that defense. How surprised are you at where 1474 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,799 Speaker 1: they are right now relative to how they started the season. 1475 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,680 Speaker 4: The only reason I'm not is because we had the 1476 01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,400 Speaker 4: Ulm game and we got to go in that facility. 1477 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,080 Speaker 4: We got to talk to Kaitlyn to Bor, talk to 1478 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,320 Speaker 4: Kane Womock. I spent a lot of time with David Below, 1479 01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,360 Speaker 4: the strength coach, that weekend, talking to him at practice 1480 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 4: and hearing everybody's message be exactly the same that came 1481 01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:41,840 Speaker 4: out of nowhere. We had the best offseason from a 1482 01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 4: weight room perspective, nutrition perspective. We had the best two days. 1483 01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,639 Speaker 4: They don't do two days anymore, but the best fall 1484 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:52,320 Speaker 4: camp we had the most physical camp we've had. Everything 1485 01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:56,040 Speaker 4: was the most and the best, and it was completely unexpected. 1486 01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,120 Speaker 4: And having known Kailn for a while, I didn't think 1487 01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,640 Speaker 4: he was lying to me. Having known coach Wamack for 1488 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 4: a while, I didn't think he was lying to me. 1489 01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:05,960 Speaker 4: Having known Grub for a little bit, I didn't think he. 1490 01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:07,400 Speaker 2: Was lying to me. I've known Blue for a while. 1491 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 2: He wouldn't lie to me. 1492 01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:10,760 Speaker 4: So that forced me to kind of take a step 1493 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:12,960 Speaker 4: back and say, all right, we need to give them 1494 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 4: a chance to write this, because if it was that 1495 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 4: wrong based on what the whole. 1496 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,280 Speaker 2: Staff thought they were gonna get. And you know, Josh, 1497 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:20,519 Speaker 2: most staffs know what they have. 1498 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:22,639 Speaker 4: They might not want to admit it, and they might 1499 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,800 Speaker 4: lie to themselves every single day until it's all over 1500 01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,960 Speaker 4: with and they're fired. But that staff did not think 1501 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,880 Speaker 4: that was feasible to put that kind of performance out there. 1502 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 4: So I kind of said to myself, we need to 1503 01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 4: give him a chance, We need to give him a second, 1504 01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 4: take a step back. We weren't going to take a 1505 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 4: ton away from the ULM game. But they responded, so 1506 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,560 Speaker 4: that was job number one. Came back put it on 1507 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,000 Speaker 4: the way they were supposed to handle their business. Then 1508 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:48,960 Speaker 4: I said, all right, now we're about to learn what 1509 01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:51,679 Speaker 4: this team really is. They have my attention again, let's 1510 01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:53,080 Speaker 4: at least see what it is from here on out. 1511 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,880 Speaker 4: So from that perspective, I'm not overly surprised. I think 1512 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,840 Speaker 4: I'm just more surprised that we got We have outliers 1513 01:13:58,880 --> 01:13:59,559 Speaker 4: all the time in this. 1514 01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,080 Speaker 2: Sport, individual position groups, teams. 1515 01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,479 Speaker 4: We always have those funky losses, or an offensive line 1516 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,680 Speaker 4: that just lets guys run through like a turnstile, or 1517 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 4: DB's that gets smoked for the course of the game. 1518 01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,320 Speaker 4: We have it all the time, So I'm more surprised 1519 01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 4: that it was that week one. But again, this is 1520 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,200 Speaker 4: where the retraining of the brains still needs to come 1521 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:23,000 Speaker 4: around and happen, because Week one is going to be 1522 01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,800 Speaker 4: a lot different for so many teams moving forward. There 1523 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 4: are these guys in this locker room that have known 1524 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,639 Speaker 4: each other for four or five weeks, not played football together, 1525 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,599 Speaker 4: like they probably don't know each other's names when they're 1526 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 4: lining up next to them in an actual football game. 1527 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,599 Speaker 4: So that takes your continuityway the field, the chemistry, the rhythm. 1528 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,479 Speaker 4: Then all of a sudden, if you're getting different looks 1529 01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,400 Speaker 4: on defense, and the guy that I thought I was 1530 01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:44,960 Speaker 4: going to be iding in the mic is not even 1531 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 4: in the game, and they're running a totally different front 1532 01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 4: than we prepared for. 1533 01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:50,519 Speaker 2: All of a sudden that changes in a hurry. 1534 01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 4: So I'm more surprised that it was that much of 1535 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 4: an outlier than the am that they've been able to 1536 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 4: bounce back only because I had those conversations. 1537 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 1: It's crazy also, the ingreedy that only the season can 1538 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,720 Speaker 1: give you, and I could just as easily we may 1539 01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 1: end up saying this about Indiana last week against Penn State. 1540 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 1: You could practice as well as you possibly could, You 1541 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 1: could lift as well, eat as well as you possibly could. 1542 01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,400 Speaker 1: There may, for all you know, be an ingredient that 1543 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:17,320 Speaker 1: it's mandatory. The season provides you could be a loss, 1544 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,479 Speaker 1: could be a close win. But it's what you get 1545 01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 1: out of that ingredient that you could never have replicated. 1546 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,160 Speaker 1: You go in Alabama's building now, like I've asked several 1547 01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,800 Speaker 1: of their guys point blank, do you think you would 1548 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,360 Speaker 1: be remotely the team you are without the FSU outcome? 1549 01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 1: Everyone of them says no, No, didn't know we needed that, 1550 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,720 Speaker 1: certainly didn't hope we needed that, but as it turns out, 1551 01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:38,000 Speaker 1: there's an edge here. 1552 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:38,240 Speaker 2: Now. 1553 01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,639 Speaker 1: I don't think we would have had try as we might, 1554 01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:43,080 Speaker 1: we probably would not have had that without the Florida 1555 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 1: State game. My thinking there is, Okay, who else do 1556 01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:48,320 Speaker 1: I apply that to during the season? And it may 1557 01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,519 Speaker 1: be Indiana. It may be that Indiana sitting there in 1558 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 1: the national championship game and they've won three back to 1559 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,160 Speaker 1: back to back close games to get there, and you're like, wow, 1560 01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:58,600 Speaker 1: would we have been able to do that without that 1561 01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:01,559 Speaker 1: Penn State game? Called a weakness they called a flaw 1562 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 1: at the time. 1563 01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,439 Speaker 4: Why do we outweigh that though by how incredible it 1564 01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,679 Speaker 4: was for Indiana to come back and win that game? 1565 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 4: I don't know, Like why do we outweigh the closeness 1566 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,479 Speaker 4: of it against the lower tier opponent, which that should 1567 01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,200 Speaker 4: even be an outlier in and of itself. 1568 01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:19,000 Speaker 2: It's kind of like playing for SEC fans. 1569 01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,880 Speaker 4: That would be like playing a close game against LSU 1570 01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,800 Speaker 4: or Florida right now, Like, yeah, they fired their coach, 1571 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,800 Speaker 4: but let's go through the litany of first round draft 1572 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,000 Speaker 4: picks that they have on their rosters. It's a lot 1573 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:33,000 Speaker 4: of them combined, especially so you don't think talent can 1574 01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,680 Speaker 4: catch up with you consistently on a regular basis like 1575 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,960 Speaker 4: I do. It's not gonna happen every week because we 1576 01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,040 Speaker 4: don't know where their brains are. 1577 01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:39,960 Speaker 2: We don't know if they're. 1578 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,679 Speaker 4: Mad, happy, sad, want to leave, don't like the fact 1579 01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,479 Speaker 4: that their coach got fired, elated that their coach got fired. 1580 01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 4: We never know what that is. Penn State still has 1581 01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,760 Speaker 4: talent at the end of the day. That environment is 1582 01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 4: still very difficult to go play in no matter what. 1583 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,760 Speaker 4: But we outweigh that by the the ifs and butts 1584 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,439 Speaker 4: ors of why didn't they go in there win by forty? 1585 01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 4: What's wrong with them? What's their problem? How many teams 1586 01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 4: in that spot could have done what that team did, 1587 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,960 Speaker 4: specifically taking a sack on first down to that two 1588 01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,040 Speaker 4: minute drive. That's the part that nobody's talking about. 1589 01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:16,840 Speaker 2: Josh. You know how many teams on. 1590 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,320 Speaker 4: A two minute drive ninety something yards to go win 1591 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,960 Speaker 4: the game back against the wall hadn't done anything all 1592 01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,000 Speaker 4: day that take a sack on first down? 1593 01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 2: Like done? 1594 01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, take away those weathers coming back from that. 1595 01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,840 Speaker 1: You're just not one more game I wanted to get 1596 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,639 Speaker 1: to here. Texas got two shots at Georgia, leave sorry, Bradley, 1597 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 1: I'll give you a chance to change the lower. There 1598 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:39,080 Speaker 1: we go. Texas got two shots at Georgia last year, 1599 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 1: went oh and two, had sixty combined rushing yards in 1600 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 1: the process, and the ladder of which was the conference 1601 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 1: title game, and they got beat by a backup quarterback 1602 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,799 Speaker 1: income from behind fashion in the second half. That backup 1603 01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 1: is now Georgia's starter. Really interesting to see how you 1604 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:56,400 Speaker 1: see this game. I had several reasons that my mind 1605 01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 1: wanted me to take Texas, had some reasons why the 1606 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 1: model won me to take Texas in the interest of 1607 01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,160 Speaker 1: Georgia playing all these one possession games. Who knows, if 1608 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 1: I had to bet the game against the spread, may 1609 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 1: even take Texas plus the points because it just has 1610 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty one written all over it to me. 1611 01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,839 Speaker 1: But at some point, man, I almost have the tendency 1612 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,559 Speaker 1: to zoom out on games like this. I'll leave it 1613 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:19,639 Speaker 1: to you to talk about all the matchups, like I'll 1614 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 1: leave it to you to point out specific players. My 1615 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:25,599 Speaker 1: nature is, if you're Texas or Georgia, you get to 1616 01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,160 Speaker 1: decide how you play. You get to decide the offensive 1617 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 1: defense you run because you get your choice of athletes 1618 01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:32,479 Speaker 1: to do whatever you want to. You get the staff 1619 01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,559 Speaker 1: however you want because you've got the biggest staff pools 1620 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 1: in the country. You have endless resources. So the way 1621 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,479 Speaker 1: you're doing it is the way you would do it 1622 01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,320 Speaker 1: if you could do it anyway. This is the way 1623 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,719 Speaker 1: Georgia chooses to do it. This is the way Texas 1624 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,799 Speaker 1: chooses to do it. So it's almost like a culture test, 1625 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,639 Speaker 1: like a culture game. It's like a program game every 1626 01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,599 Speaker 1: time this stuff happens. So Georgia's run up against Bama 1627 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 1: and had trouble Texas. Now I'm watching them run up 1628 01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,559 Speaker 1: against Georgia. Smaller sample size, but they've had trouble. And 1629 01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,599 Speaker 1: so I had someone ask me earlier this week, well, 1630 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,799 Speaker 1: who do you think Texas is? Just pause for a second, 1631 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 1: because I could answer that about Kirby and Georgia. I've 1632 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:10,760 Speaker 1: long since been able to answer that. How do I 1633 01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,519 Speaker 1: answer that? How would as we get into the game 1634 01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,800 Speaker 1: breakdown here? How do you answer what is Texas under? 1635 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 1: Steve Sarkesian to you? Because I think the data is 1636 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 1: still incomplete or maybe like to get to the finished 1637 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 1: version of the answer, you have to you have to 1638 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,080 Speaker 1: be on the right side of outcomes like this eventually. 1639 01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 4: And I think they can be because the talent has 1640 01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,200 Speaker 4: the ceiling for them to be. This comes down to 1641 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:37,320 Speaker 4: consistency again, and last year's team was very consistent at 1642 01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 4: doing things when asked to do them inside of that 1643 01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:43,679 Speaker 4: system allows them to win games. Take a swing pass 1644 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 4: in the flat, take a crossing route, take a toss 1645 01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:49,160 Speaker 4: sweep or an outside zone to the running back, making 1646 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 4: two three defenders miss instead of going for four yards, 1647 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:53,360 Speaker 4: it's twenty. 1648 01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,679 Speaker 2: Four yards or forty four yards. 1649 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 4: There's a small amount of games that Texas has done 1650 01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,519 Speaker 4: that consistently this season. I've told you you go back 1651 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,440 Speaker 4: and put the UTEB game on. It's the best individual 1652 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 4: tackling performance still that I have seen in college football 1653 01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,160 Speaker 4: this year. The amount of one on one tackles that 1654 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 4: were made against Texas ball carriers didn't feel like it 1655 01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:13,600 Speaker 4: was real it. 1656 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,040 Speaker 2: I feel like it was cgi when I was watching it. 1657 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,719 Speaker 4: You put the Vanderbilt film on, and all of a sudden, 1658 01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,400 Speaker 4: five guys can't get one guy down. And I don't 1659 01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 4: know exactly where that comes from, or how that's derived, 1660 01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:27,400 Speaker 4: or what makes one or not the other playing together 1661 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,639 Speaker 4: understanding angle system, just having done it before. Ryan Wingo 1662 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 4: looked like Superman last week. If he looks like that again, 1663 01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:36,960 Speaker 4: Texas probably gonna win this football game. I think this 1664 01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 4: will come down to a couple of things. Number One, 1665 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:42,439 Speaker 4: for me, I like how you sort of leveled this 1666 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 4: game out, like went back to an elementary flour level 1667 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:46,000 Speaker 4: with this game. 1668 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:47,519 Speaker 2: Because I agree that a lot of that is what 1669 01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:48,200 Speaker 2: it's going to be. 1670 01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,719 Speaker 4: Last year, Texas basically ran into a team that said, 1671 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 4: we're about to see what you're about, Like do you 1672 01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 4: have the s about you that we know we do, 1673 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,559 Speaker 4: because we're gonna put it on display and we're gonna 1674 01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:03,240 Speaker 4: test yours. 1675 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,559 Speaker 2: And I don't think Texas had it. I really don't 1676 01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:07,880 Speaker 2: do they have it this year. If they do, they'll 1677 01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 2: play with them. It'll be a competitive game. 1678 01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,120 Speaker 4: And at that point it comes down to some sychromatic 1679 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,839 Speaker 4: things that may be a mistake or two, but Texas 1680 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,640 Speaker 4: has to prove that to me first. It's kind of 1681 01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,880 Speaker 4: is it's not as elementary or for ground level. When 1682 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,920 Speaker 4: I was in college, my offensive line coach Rick Trickey 1683 01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:24,840 Speaker 4: should go to the whiteboard in certain games like this 1684 01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:28,600 Speaker 4: and he would say them law Tech, he's Auburn and 1685 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:29,639 Speaker 4: he would circle Auburn. 1686 01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:32,600 Speaker 2: He's like, were's Auburn, you win this game? And like 1687 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 2: that was it. 1688 01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,439 Speaker 4: That was how he broke the game down. I wish 1689 01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,960 Speaker 4: it would have been that easy. It wasn't always that easy. 1690 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:42,800 Speaker 4: But this game, to me, starts out being simplified to 1691 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:48,280 Speaker 4: that level. Will Texas match the grit the physicality? Are 1692 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:49,680 Speaker 4: they hard enough to be able to go out and 1693 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:50,320 Speaker 4: win this game? 1694 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:51,040 Speaker 2: Ultimately? 1695 01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:52,640 Speaker 4: I think that's what it comes down to, because if 1696 01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,320 Speaker 4: they're not that Josh, they don't have a chance to 1697 01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 4: win this game. If they are, then we can talk 1698 01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,920 Speaker 4: about the lost players on offense, like a Dylan Bell 1699 01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:02,920 Speaker 4: or a Jack injuries, because so many other guys are 1700 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:04,840 Speaker 4: going to get so much attention and they're going to 1701 01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:06,599 Speaker 4: have their chances to make some plays and if they 1702 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:08,280 Speaker 4: make big plays, they'll be able to do that. And 1703 01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:11,040 Speaker 4: offensive line being able to pick up Colin Simmons or 1704 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,320 Speaker 4: being able to play up Georgia pressures, all those things 1705 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 4: come into play after that. But if Texas isn't that, 1706 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:18,800 Speaker 4: there's really not a lot else for us to talk 1707 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 4: about as far as it came concern. 1708 01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the other thing I've listened to a lot of 1709 01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:26,439 Speaker 1: folks out of Georgia talk about trying to manufacture as 1710 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 1: best you can this late in the season, some kind 1711 01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: of pass rush. It's been very very well documented how 1712 01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:34,760 Speaker 1: much they've struggled in that category this year. Now, to 1713 01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,080 Speaker 1: their credit, they've kind of resurrected their ground game. Think 1714 01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,519 Speaker 1: they were twenty fourth in the country coming into this week. 1715 01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:43,920 Speaker 1: I know it's very very not in vogue to give 1716 01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,760 Speaker 1: Mike Bobo credit for anything, but you know, maybe a 1717 01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:49,519 Speaker 1: little crumbsworth a credit to him and that offensive staff. 1718 01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 1: But with so with Georgia, all right, So anytime you 1719 01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:55,719 Speaker 1: go to a place like Georgia, you see these young 1720 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,160 Speaker 1: guys walking around the building that you know are not 1721 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,280 Speaker 1: going to be ready to go week one, you always 1722 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:02,320 Speaker 1: think to yourself, right, not every one of these guys 1723 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,360 Speaker 1: is gonna red shirt. So some of them are just 1724 01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:07,719 Speaker 1: going to randomly pop on my screen, usually on special 1725 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,800 Speaker 1: teams Week three, week four. Then some injuries happen, or 1726 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,280 Speaker 1: maybe you're just not performing up to expectation, and they 1727 01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 1: get in the rotation against the team they're up by 1728 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: thirty five against, and then all of a sudden, Texas 1729 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,760 Speaker 1: comes to town and some young kid ends up in 1730 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,880 Speaker 1: the backfield and you're like checking your play card to 1731 01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:25,880 Speaker 1: make sure you've got the name and the number right. 1732 01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 1: I always think about that possibility. What Yanza Pierre's been 1733 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,280 Speaker 1: doing this year, not a freshman, but all of a sudden, 1734 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:34,640 Speaker 1: just kind of coming on and doing what he was 1735 01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 1: projected to do out of high school. George's got those 1736 01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,639 Speaker 1: guys too. I just wonder, like from a ground level, 1737 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,080 Speaker 1: when you're sitting in a defensive staffing room and you're 1738 01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:47,240 Speaker 1: trying to throw everything against the wall, saying, guys, we're 1739 01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:49,880 Speaker 1: not gonna lead the sec in sacks this week. Let's 1740 01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:52,559 Speaker 1: not even pretend we have that high level capability. How 1741 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,320 Speaker 1: do we do more than we're doing right now? What 1742 01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 1: are some simple steps they can take here, if they 1743 01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:58,400 Speaker 1: can take any at all. 1744 01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,759 Speaker 4: The first thing I thought of is, man, this happened 1745 01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 4: a week early for Georgia, and it was number ten 1746 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,719 Speaker 4: a tight end last week, and you're just like, hold 1747 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 4: on a second, who is that and where has he been? 1748 01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 4: He looks like he's an NBA small forward out here 1749 01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,799 Speaker 4: in pads, knocking people down on the goal line, catching 1750 01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,479 Speaker 4: balls over in midair, over to the sideline, tiptoe before 1751 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,120 Speaker 4: he goes out of bounds, like that shouldn't be allowed. 1752 01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,639 Speaker 2: At his size to via that athletic in that fast. 1753 01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,960 Speaker 4: As far as the pass rush is concerned, there are 1754 01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,160 Speaker 4: ways to generate it, and one of the reasons I'll 1755 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:30,559 Speaker 4: always give Georgia an advantage to be able to find 1756 01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,320 Speaker 4: it is the precision in which they run their pressures. 1757 01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,200 Speaker 4: A great example of that, A great counter to that 1758 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,120 Speaker 4: would have been Mississippi State last week and what they 1759 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:40,600 Speaker 4: attempted to do to Georgia. 1760 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:41,840 Speaker 2: A lot of their three. 1761 01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 4: Man games, a lot of their two man pressures very 1762 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:47,559 Speaker 4: wide around the penetrators that were trying to basically clog 1763 01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,559 Speaker 4: up space and allow for a gap or an alley 1764 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 4: for them to be able to run through. That thing 1765 01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,080 Speaker 4: would come around the tackle instead of just hugging that 1766 01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:57,120 Speaker 4: butt cheek of that defensive tackle right over the guard. 1767 01:24:57,479 --> 01:24:59,120 Speaker 4: And so when you do that, you obviously give the 1768 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:00,599 Speaker 4: quarterback more time to operate. 1769 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:01,680 Speaker 2: There is. 1770 01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:07,439 Speaker 4: I guess, less selfishness and more precision with the way 1771 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 4: Georgia runs their pressures than almost any other team in 1772 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,720 Speaker 4: college football. They just they know how to operate it, 1773 01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 4: and they don't do it for themselves. You can tell 1774 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,439 Speaker 4: they understand the assignment and it is to either occupy 1775 01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:21,800 Speaker 4: these two offensive linemen or keep this offensive lineman from 1776 01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:23,200 Speaker 4: being able to get into this gap. 1777 01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 2: And they do it well because. 1778 01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 4: They play fierce football with authority, So the individuals might 1779 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,080 Speaker 4: not be there, but the way in which they do it, 1780 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,559 Speaker 4: and I will say Texas is a team that relies 1781 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:35,679 Speaker 4: a lot on two things. 1782 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:40,559 Speaker 2: Pull protection and slide protection. Those are gettable because if. 1783 01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:43,160 Speaker 4: You're trying to pull an offensive lineman around to one 1784 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:45,640 Speaker 4: pick up an edge dude for me coming off the 1785 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:47,400 Speaker 4: edge us where Jalen Walker got him a couple of 1786 01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:51,719 Speaker 4: times last year. And when you pull that backside guard 1787 01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,200 Speaker 4: on that, the center and the tackle then have to 1788 01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:57,400 Speaker 4: close two gaps again. That takes time, and that's a 1789 01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,559 Speaker 4: lot of space that is created for a short amount 1790 01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,960 Speaker 4: of time you can attack that you want to side 1791 01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,720 Speaker 4: the protection. All of these decoordinators have ways figured out 1792 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,760 Speaker 4: how to get past that to occupy offensive linemen, and 1793 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:09,400 Speaker 4: you're not gonna have somebody in the gap when you 1794 01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:11,519 Speaker 4: retrace the defender back over where they should have been, 1795 01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 4: because they're. 1796 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,320 Speaker 2: Playing like robots and only going to one spot. 1797 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:18,000 Speaker 4: So I would say the pressures that they're gonna draw 1798 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:21,080 Speaker 4: up the precision in which they will run them, and 1799 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,280 Speaker 4: the authority in which they will run them with almost 1800 01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,880 Speaker 4: takes away the personnel part of it. Because George has 1801 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:29,400 Speaker 4: been that good at that part for so long. They 1802 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 4: still have a chance to find a way to get 1803 01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:32,599 Speaker 4: home by doing those things. 1804 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:35,640 Speaker 1: Now, I want you to tell the people how to 1805 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:36,400 Speaker 1: find Cube. 1806 01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:39,519 Speaker 2: Show Lost in Space. 1807 01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:44,439 Speaker 4: There is a podcast that talks about SEC football every Sunday, 1808 01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 4: Monday or Tuesday. It all depends on FAA flight regulations 1809 01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,960 Speaker 4: and flights getting canceled. It depends on flights being moved up, 1810 01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,599 Speaker 4: It depends on read and React on Mondays and how 1811 01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 4: many games we have to watch on Sunday. 1812 01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:57,080 Speaker 2: But it is called Cube Show.
