1
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: One bit of feedback. I do want you to keep

2
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: checking me on many people who have watched the show

3
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: are listening to the show for a long time.

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 2: You know my thoughts on it. Playoffs maas streams.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: You're good and I swore to you now once we

6
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: come to the edge of the cliff and we go

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: over and we have expanded playoff, I'm going to jump

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: on board with it.

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cover it.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and complain about it every day.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: And I've tried, but apparently some disdain has slipped through.

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: So I do need you to check me on that,

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: because I do know from my own personal experience, I

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: don't like listening to shows where people have a slightly

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: negatively tilted tone towards whatever the subject matter is. I

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: don't like a negative show. I like a positive show.

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: I like to do one. So if I'm not doing one,

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: I actually do appreciate you calling me on it. Some

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: of you have so quality control is on it, Producer Jesse,

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: that's just code for you. We're on it. And if

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: we take a little turn towards negative town, we got

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: to jerk the car back onto the main road because

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: we're not going to do a negative show. We're jampacked,

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: We're high a top a just glowing downtown Nashville, Tennessee

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday night, December tenth, the O Our Lord

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. We are proudly brought to you by

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: those guys Academy Sports and Outdoors, making the show free

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: of charge for you forever and for all ways. I

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: have to apologize and just redo my bracket because I

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: got sucked into the content tornado Sunday when I was

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: down in Fort Lauderdale at CBS Sports HQ, and I

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: got all jacked up on mountain doing pixie sticks, and

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: I just threw all my predictions out there.

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: Well, I regret several of them.

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: So Mima always told me, until they've kicked the ball off,

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: you can change your pick and don't be scared to

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: do it. So I'm just changing my picks tonight. Sorry,

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 1: it is my constitutional right to do it. I'm putting

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: a new national champion out there. In fact, I'm picking

40
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: a team to win the national title I had eliminated

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: in the quarterfinals. I think the other day Jesse and Collins,

42
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: So yes, very bold steps being taken to correct what

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: I think was a wrongdoing on Sunday Bill Belichick. Is

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: he the head coach at North Carolina yet? Do we

45
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: have an update on this? Well, I'm hitting refresh over

46
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: here as we speak.

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: We'll see.

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm keeping an eye on it, as are you. The

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: transfer portals on fire. I almost had director Colin just

50
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: put fire in the monitor back here. Everybody and their

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: mother and grandmother and cousin and aunt and uncles jumped

52
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: into portal. I got a lot on these quarterbacks, big

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: time wide receivers. There are also some misnomers out there

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: about the portal and if your team's in the playoff,

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: then you escape this whole thing.

56
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: No, you don't know, You don't.

57
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: I got to remind you what the rules are. You know,

58
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: because they change every twelve hours. No one is escaping

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: the portal's wrath this cycle. And I'll tell you something else.

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Don't get comfortable with this college football playoff format. I'm

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: not going to be negative about it. I'm actually going

62
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: to be proactive about it. And in telling you there is

63
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: a piece out there that you need to be paying

64
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: attention to today. By for my money, the best newsbreaker

65
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: and scoop guy in the industry, right now, and it

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: is telling you. It is foretelling, it is red lighting

67
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: what's about to happen. A lot of your up and

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: arms about these autobids, I am too, probably won't happen

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: much longer. So they're watching this in Beaverton, Oregon, Springfield, Illinois, Smyrna, Georgia, Irvine, California.

70
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Just a quick question as I dive into the show tonight.

71
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: If you were me, let's just say you were blessed

72
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: enough to get to do this for a living. You

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: get to pick the first round playoff game you go to.

74
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Which one should I go to? I don't ever get

75
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: a signed I just go wherever I want to go. Again, blessed,

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: where would you go? Which game? I can be recruited?

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I can be swayed on this?

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: All right?

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: The first thing that I need to do on tonight's show,

80
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys watching live, If you are watching live,

81
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: if you're listening to the.

82
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: Replay, though, I appreciate that as well.

83
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: I need to just go back in time and if

84
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: you were watching us on CBS Sports HQ Sunday, I

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: just need you to forget everything I said because I

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: predicted my college football playoff bracket.

87
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: I regret it. I apologize. I think I was wrong.

88
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: I think I picked a winner of the national title

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: that is not going to win the national title. I

90
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: think I had a team eliminated in the quarterfinals that

91
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: may go on to win the national title. So just

92
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: listen to me. Three to two one. It never happened.

93
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome to the show. I am ready, for

94
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: the first time ever in twenty twenty four to predict

95
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: the national champion. Never done it before. Okay, that's the

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: deal you and I just made. It never happened on Sunday.

97
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: So here's the situation. Not only am I going to

98
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 1: just repredict this whole thing right quick, I am also

99
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: going to give you what the lines will be on

100
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: these games if they happen, because I did want some

101
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: newness to feature to you tonight. So I hit up

102
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Fan Duel. I said, Hey, here's what my bracket's gonna be.

103
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: Give me the lines if these games happen, give me

104
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: the lines. And they said, wait, didn't you predict it

105
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: Sunday night? And I said sh sh and I did

106
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: the fingersnap on them and they said, oh, okay, we

107
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: get what you're doing.

108
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: Okay, So throw the car in reverse. Here's what the

109
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: lines would be.

110
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: So the college football Playoff is seated, We've got the matchups,

111
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: we know where they are, we know what the lines

112
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: on the first round games are already going to be.

113
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: But here's how the bracket looks right now. It's very pristine.

114
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: No one's been eliminated. There will be chaos and anarchy

115
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: soon enough on a college campus.

116
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: Or CAMPI the plural of campus near you soon enough.

117
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: So up in this top region do we want to

118
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: call it a region Colin and Jesse whatever? In the

119
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: top part of the bracket. You got to visualize this.

120
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: If you're listening on podcasts, you know we got Clemson

121
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: versus Texas. Texas is favored by eleven and a half,

122
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: and you got Tennessee at Ohio State. Ohio State's favored

123
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: by seven and a half. Now, I haven't really changed

124
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: the way I think these games are going to go.

125
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: I do think Texas will beat Clems, just like I

126
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: already did. I am just utterly fascinated to see if

127
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian does a healthy assessment of his offense and

128
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: says I think I need to incorporate arch Manning more

129
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: here I would. I have called offenses for a grand

130
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: total of zero years in my life. I've played Xbox before,

131
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, so that makes me an expert, just like

132
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: I've watched Law and Order before, so I could do

133
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: brain surgery on someone or no, that's er. Yeah, you

134
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: get what you get the point I'm making though, So

135
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: Texas over Clemson, I feel confident about that one. I

136
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: don't feel nearly as confident about Tennessee Ohio State, but

137
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: why not. I'll take Ohio State. I'll take the seven

138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. I'm nervous about it, don't

139
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: get me wrong. Tennessee is that team in the first

140
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: round that I am having eliminated in the first round

141
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: as of now, that could go on to win the

142
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: whole thing. I'm uneasy, very uneasy about it. So that's

143
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: how I have it. I have Texas advancing to play

144
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Arizona State, and I have Ohio State advancing to play Oregon. Now,

145
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: we thought they were going to face off in the

146
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Big Ten title game.

147
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: They didn't.

148
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: As this stands, this would be the rematch of that

149
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: regular season game, and that one would be in the

150
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. By the way, just to let you know

151
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: where these games would be Texas. Arizona State would be

152
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: in the Peach Bowl or in Atlanta, and Ohio State

153
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 1: Oregon would be in the Rose Bowl. Those would both

154
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: be New Year's Day. I believe, I know the Rose

155
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: Bowl game would be New Year's Day. All right, so

156
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: freeze that in your mind. Nothing's really changed. That's what

157
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: I predicted Sunday. Now, in the bottom half of the bracket,

158
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that, we got all

159
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: these first round games.

160
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: We got Indiana at Notre Dame. All right.

161
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's favored by seven and a half. That's the

162
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: Friday night game, so that'll be the first playoff game.

163
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: Then we've got SMU at Penn State. That game happens

164
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: the first game on Saturday, so that's a noon, Eastern

165
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: time kickoff graduation week. I've seen those hotel rates in

166
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: state college brutal, brutal, So we know Penn State's favorite

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: eight and a half against SMU. I have got Penn

168
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: State beating SMU because I think they're the better team

169
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: and they have home field advantage. We'll break the game

170
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: down later. I'm just for broad strokes purposes. I'm letting

171
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: you know I'm picking my same winner there. I'm still

172
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: picking Notre Dame to beat Indiana. Notre Dame is a

173
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: seven and a half point favorite. That's another one that

174
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: makes me very nervous because the last thing that I

175
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: want to see here is me pick against Indiana and

176
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: then Indiana wins, because Indiana strikes me as a program

177
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna let you know about it if you pick

178
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: against them and then they prove you wrong, which I

179
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: would as well.

180
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: I would.

181
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Petate State never loses, you know, but I

182
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: would as well. So let's take Penn State going on

183
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: to face Boise. That would be in the Fiesta Bowl.

184
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: And then let's take Georgia versus Notre Dame eight forty

185
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: five pm Eastern time, New Year's Night in New Orleans,

186
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: Louisiana in the Sugar Bowl. Obviously, that one would be

187
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: I have some hypothetical spreads here for you. That one

188
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: would be. Do you want to guess by the way

189
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: I've got him in my hand right now? Do you

190
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: want to guess? According to FanDuel? Now, let's just assume

191
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: with Georgia that it's Gunner Stockton playing quarterback. Georgia favored

192
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: by one and a half I've seen some contradictory lines

193
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: out there, I'm telling you, and you can tell because

194
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: I just thought the paper FanDuel hit us up within

195
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: the last hour, right Jesse. So these are fresh off

196
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: the presses. Georgia minus one and a half. If Penn

197
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: State plays Boise in the second round, Penn State minus

198
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: eleven and a half.

199
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm gonna give you all these right now.

200
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: Texas if they face Arizona State in the second round,

201
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: Texas minus fourteen and a half. Oregon if they face

202
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: Ohio State in the second round, Oregon favored by one

203
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: and a half. Do you notice on this screen something

204
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: that looks kind of incongruent? Do you notice that there

205
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: are two lines that are really sharp, really tight? And

206
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: then do you notice there are two lines that are

207
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: double digit spread and the teams that weren't playing the

208
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: week before are the ones that are double digit underdogs. Friends,

209
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you have a very jacked up

210
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: auto bid system or auto by system. But we're not

211
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: here to litigate that tonight. What I am telling you is,

212
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: as these games go, I will take Texas to beat

213
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: Arizona State in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. This would

214
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: be Texas's second game in that building in a month.

215
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: By the way, for whatever that's worth, I will take

216
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: Ohio State Oregon. I am switching my feel on that game.

217
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm switching my feel to Oregon. I think Oregon beats

218
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State in that quarterfinal game, they move on to

219
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: play Texas in the semi final. In the lower half,

220
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: I'm keeping it the same. I still like Penn State Overboisey.

221
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: Penn State eleven and a half point favorite. I still

222
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: like them over bois in the Fiesta Bowl. Nothing's changed there.

223
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Georgia is where I am swerving. I thought

224
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: about this more on the flight home Sunday night, because

225
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: I had just picked Notre Dame to beat Georgia, and

226
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: I've got a theory on Georgia that I really cooked

227
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: up mid flight, and I started to formulate some immediate regret.

228
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: In my mind, Georgia is the best football program in

229
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: the country, and I believed that coming into the year,

230
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: and I would still believe that if Texas had beat

231
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: him the other day. You don't tear down a program

232
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: overnight over the course of one season. So Kirby Smart

233
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: runs the best program in the country. The reason I

234
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: mentioned that is because it takes a lot more than

235
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: losing one player to tear down a program. And if

236
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: you have an incredibly strong program, and you've got veteran

237
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: guys in that program, including at the quarterback position like

238
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton, what you'll find sometimes is you'll find when

239
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: the starter goes down and the backup is inserted, it's

240
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: not nearly as steep a drop off as you thought

241
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: it would be. But let's just say from a raw

242
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: skills standpoint, there is a drop off. There was a

243
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: reason Carson Beck was starting, obviously, So let's say there

244
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,479
Speaker 1: is a drop off. If you are a quarterback centric team,

245
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: then you're screwed. But if you're not a quarterback centric team,

246
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: if you are a culture culture culture, high level program,

247
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: guys bought in willing to go over the cliff. If

248
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: you're that kind of program and you're ultra talented, what

249
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: happens is you got two or three weeks to lead

250
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: up to a game, there's this galvanization that is.

251
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: Really really bubbled over the surface.

252
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: When your backup that got inserted when you were trailing

253
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: Texas comes from behind and you as a team come

254
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 1: from behind and beat Texas to win the SEC championship.

255
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: So you're sky high emotionally, you get all the confidence

256
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: in the world, but you also have an understanding in

257
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: that locker room that quarterback's not going to be the

258
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: guy we asked to go win this thing for us.

259
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: We just got through multiple years of this with Stetson

260
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: Bennet at Georgia. By the way, how many titles did

261
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: they I think they went two national titles.

262
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: That's all they did with him.

263
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: They're used to this, It's what I'm saying, and so

264
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: I think there's a part of that program's DNA that

265
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: relishes the opportunity, not that you wanted to see your

266
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: starter go down, but that relishes the opportunity to go

267
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: in back against the wall. There will be a lot

268
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: of folks doubt them because they are playing with their

269
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: backup now. And I'm looking at the draw they have,

270
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at Notre Dame versus Georgia. Notre Dame's

271
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: not running away from you. Also, Notre Dame's not running

272
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: through Georgia because no one runs through Georgia. So I

273
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: actually like Georgia's ability to win that game. Carson Beck

274
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: or the backup Gunn of Stockton and that would move

275
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: them on to play Penn State in the semi final.

276
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'd picked Georgia to beat them.

277
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: I'd pick Georgia to beat Penn State in the semi final.

278
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: It's a roster game. You'd like Texas Oregon in one

279
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: semi final. You got Penn State Georgia in the other

280
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: semi final. From FanDuel, the odds on these games, the

281
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: numbers on these games would be would be Oregon favored

282
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: by one and a half against Texas and it would

283
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: be Penn State Georgia.

284
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: Pick them now.

285
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: It is my belief that if Gunner, Stockton and Georgia

286
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: play at a high level against Notre Dame, that would

287
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: be enough to move the market. I actually think Georgia

288
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: would end up being favored slightly in this game, but

289
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: it would be a tight spread. So those would be

290
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: your semi final matchups. We got a lot of folks

291
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: watching live. Let me remind you, guys, if you have

292

00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: we are able to do shows like this without all

298
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: the immense bells and whistles of sitting in a major

299
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: television studio and needing all that overhead and distribution. So

300
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: just subscribe to the podcast and the YouTube channel. It's free,

301
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: don't sign you up for anything. It just helps us.

302
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: How will these semi finals go? You know that I've

303
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: been high on Texas all year. The model was high

304
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: on Texas last year. I'm high on Texas this year.

305
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: I think that there's a little shift offensively in philosophy

306
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. If I'm right about that, I think

307
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: if Texas would have done that Saturday, they may have

308
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: beaten Georgia in the SEC.

309
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: Title game, but they didn't.

310
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: If they do it in the playoff, I think they're

311
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: going to play for a national title. So I will

312
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: take Texas over Oregon in this semi final, and I

313
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: will take Georgia over Penn State in the other semi final.

314
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: And guess what that leads us to, Ladies and gentlemen,

315
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: What it leads us to is a three match for

316
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: the national championship. It leads us to Texas versus Georgia.

317
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: Eighty percent of the country is irate, but they can't

318
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: argue with it because it is what the playoff bracket

319
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: spat out at us. And we would have Texas trying

320
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: to take a third bite out of the apple, but

321
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: there is no bite out of the apple because they

322
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: tried twice and they fell off the ladder.

323
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: This time.

324
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: Theoretically they would be facing Georgia's back up. I don't

325
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: really care because Texas led Georgia at the half Saturday

326
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: and that backup came in from behind. I cannot emphasize

327
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: this enough. It's not like Georgia was holding onto a lead.

328
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: They had to take the lead with Gunner Stockton in

329
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: and they did it. And there was a car crash

330
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line near the end of that game,

331
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: and he gets folded like a pretzel, but he holds

332
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: onto the ball.

333
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: They win. Anyway.

334
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: I think Georgia is going to end up winning the

335
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: national championship this year. And I did not say that

336
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: Sunday night, and for that I take full responsibility. But

337
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, I've sat here and picked

338
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Texas to beat these guys twice this year, and Texas

339
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: is going oh for two, and I will not allow

340
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: myself to be wrong on this match up a third time.

341
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: If I'm wrong, it's gonna because Sark and Texas proved

342
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: me wrong by winning. It will not be because Kirby

343
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: Smart proves me wrong by winning a third time.

344
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: Can't let it happen. Can't do it. There's too much

345
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: on the line.

346
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: And by too much on the line, I just mean

347
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: the sterling reputation of this program. So I am taking Georgia.

348
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Texas would be a two and a half point favorite

349
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: in that game according to FanDuel.

350
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: Don't care.

351
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm taking Georgia to win the game. I'm taking Georgia

352
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: to win the national championship. So that is my actual

353
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: up to the minute. It's seven sixteen pm on Tuesday night,

354
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: December tenth. That is my up to the minute college

355
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: football playoff bracket. I think there is something special now

356
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: that Georgia got into this thing. I think there's something

357
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: very special, and I want to emphasize again, I do

358
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: not think that you are happy that your starter goes down,

359
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: But there is a part of you that knows you're.

360
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: All you got you're all you need.

361
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: Like, that's exactly how Georgia's program should feel.

362
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: We're all we got, we're all we need. Starter's down.

363
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: Okay, if you really believe in next man up, it

364
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It does, but it doesn't because you put

365
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton in and like mikel Williams or Malachi Starks,

366
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: these are defensive players. They look at it and say,

367
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: we'll get it done.

368
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: We'll get it done. I mean, we're Georgia.

369
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: Last two times we played Texas, we put like thirty

370
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: sacks and seventy five tackles for Law on the board.

371
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: We'll get it done. Don't lose the game for us,

372
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: and we'll get it done. And if we got to

373
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: go through Notre Dame and Penn State in the meantime,

374
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: we outroster those guys without our starting quarterback.

375
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: That's how you should feel.

376
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: That's how you look at Notre Dame and you look

377
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: at Penn State and you think that one.

378
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: Of them's going through us. We're Georgia.

379
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: That's how they should feel. It's a competitive arrogance that

380
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: has been earned around there. I've picked against them twice

381
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: this year. Actually I've picked against them four times.

382
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: This year.

383
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean kind of got the Baman ole Miss games.

384
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: We'll forget about that though, the Texas matchups because Bam

385
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: and ole Miss aren't in this thing. Texas is, so

386
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Georgia to win it all. I know

387
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: a lot of you are Texas fans. A lot of

388
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: you are Georgia fans. A lot of your Oregon, Ohio

389
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: State fans, Tennessee fans, a lot of you have trips

390
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: coming up, maybe two unfamiliar places, but you're gonna do

391
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: something familiar when you get there. You're gonna watch college

392
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: football game. It's the greatest sport on the face of

393
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: the earth. It's not even debatable. We don't believe in

394
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: the phrase, and it's not close on this show, but

395
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: college football is the goat, and it's not close. And

396
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: academy sports and outdoors can gear you up for any

397
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of tailgating need that you may come upon. They

398
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: can gear you up for Christmas or both, you know,

399
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: because I don't think there's a better Christmas present that

400
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: you could pop on Little Mikey and Little Johnny and

401
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: father than a surprise trip to maybe a college football

402
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: playoff game. You got to gear up you got to

403
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: buy your canopies, your tents, your chairs, and all of that.

404
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: It is Academy Sports and Outdoors. That's the one stop

405
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: shop for it all. Why do I say that so emphatically? Well,

406
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Number one, because I go there all the time too.

407
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: Number two, not necessarily in this order. By the way,

408
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: they are the presenting partner of this show. They roll

409
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: with us. They were riding with us before we were

410
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: the most consumed college football show on the face of

411
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: the earth. And so we're not hopping off the bus

412
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: with them anytime soon. We appreciate Academy, and you will too.

413
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: Check them out before you wrap the Christmas shopping. Make

414
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: sure you check them out.

415
00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: All right.

416
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: We got a lot going on, a lot going on.

417
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: We got jampacked show. I'm just getting started. The transfer

418
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 1: portal is a blaze. The transfer portal is loading up

419
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: by the moment. There are over fifteen hundred names in

420
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: this thing. You can think what you want about it.

421
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be this way forever.

422
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: It's the way it is right now. I'm not here

423
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: to go grandfather on you. I'm not gonna prop my

424
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: leg up on my knee. Just talk about how much.

425
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: This sucks.

426
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: There are parts of it I don't like. There are

427
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: parts of it you don't like. I think that we

428
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: can have a world where players are free to move.

429
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: And it's also a little ridiculous that this much movement's

430
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: going on. I think there are very predatory street agents

431
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: that are in the short term profiting off of this vacuum.

432
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 1: And that vacuum was born through a lack of adults

433
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: in the room having their hands on the wheel. Okay,

434
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: so there's the commentary on how out of control this

435
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: is at the moment. However, you got to make your

436
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: roster work somehow, right, So here's the latest. I'm tracking

437
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot. I'm following a lot on this situation just

438
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: fascinates me. It fascinates me. Malik Murphy the quarterback at Duke.

439
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: They just went nine to three this past year, and

440
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: he's in the portal Auburn in Miami. By the way,

441
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: we here are two schools to watch for him. Auburn's

442
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna host him Wednesday, so he's going to visit Auburn.

443
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: We expect Auburn to make a major quarterback move. This

444
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: would qualify for Hugh Freeze as a major quarterback move.

445
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: Whoever lands. Malik Murphy has landed a big one, so

446
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: he's in there. Luke Cromanhape, the quarterback from down at

447
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: Florida State, very very high level player.

448
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: Last cycle, you.

449
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: Got Gus Malzon coming in as the new offensive coordinator

450
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: at Florida State. And anytime you have a new coordinator

451
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: come in, obviously you have to assess the roster. The

452
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: roster assesses the new coordinator, the new coach or whatnot.

453
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: Am I a fit?

454
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: And that's above and beyond just do I want to

455
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: stay around here regardless? And so at least one of

456
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: those answers looks like no for Luke Cromanhoak, so.

457
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: He's probably gonna move on.

458
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: And FSU is also reportedly in the market for Thomas Castaneos,

459
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: that's the quarterback from Boston College you got benched this

460
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: past year, but can play or cast Castianos Castellanos, What

461
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: did I say, Jesse. No one even came in my ear, Immunity.

462
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: No one even came in my ear and corrected me.

463
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: I just know I said the name wrong. Castianos. The

464
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: two l's. We don't like.

465
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: L's on the show.

466
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: We especially don't like back to back els. So FSU

467
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: is kicking the tires on castianos Ah, I did it again.

468
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 2: This is terrible.

469
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: Thomas Thomas the quarterback, the able bodied quarterback from Boston College.

470
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: So Jackson Arnold's in this thing too. So Jackson Arnold

471
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: goes and wins Elite eleven. We were out there a

472
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And then he goes to Oklahoma

473
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be the savior. And this is this

474
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: is other people's words, not his, Okay, So when you

475
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: call someone a bust, make sure you blame yourself for

476
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: hyping him up. I participated. Here we go, I'm raising

477
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: my hand. And then the season goes the way it

478
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: does this year. Dylan Gabriel, by the way, transfers out.

479
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: But that's okay because we got Jackson. Jackson Nornlald had

480
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: turnover issues in the bowl game. He had turnover issues

481
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: in spring ball. We reported as such on this show

482
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: and got lambasted slash basted.

483
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: For that, but it was true.

484
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: And then there were turnover issues during the season and

485
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: he got benched. Then he came back in, but it

486
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: was just a horrifically bad year offensively for Oklahoma. So

487
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: he's in the portal fresh start mode. Jeff Levy was

488
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: the OC at Oklahoma when they originally recruited him. If

489
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: you'll remember, he's now the head coach at Mississippi State.

490
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: They're trying to get in it with him. We'll see.

491
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: I know that Auburn has been mentioned there. Auburn is

492
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna be mentioned with a lot of these guys

493
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: because they've got to land one. So the question with

494
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold's going to be was he overrated all along?

495
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: Or was he just in a terrible situation? And to

496
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I don't know which it is.

497
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: I still think a lot of the book on him

498
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: can still be written. So he's in there. Dry and

499
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: Mensa is a name I think less of. You know,

500
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: if you're a G five fan, if you're a Tulane fan,

501
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: you know that he was a freshman down there, sixty

502
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: six percent completion guy over twenty seven hundred yards passing

503
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: twenty two touchdowns, six interceptions.

504
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: This year. He was very good.

505
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: They were in the playoff mix all the way until

506
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: the end. Got a visit lined up to Duke. So

507
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: Malik Murphy hits the exit door and the seats still warm,

508
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: and who knows who's to amongst us knows? Maybe Darien

509
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: Menza takes it. I imagine who have other offers. We'll

510
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: just see how that goes. I'm looking at Connor Wigman.

511
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: There are a lot of rumblings today about Houston. Maybe

512
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: Willie fritz Land's Connor Wigman keep an eye on that.

513
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: Still a lot of tread left on the tires there.

514
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: And Miller Moss. Remember Miller Moss transferring from USC. He's

515
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: in the portal. We're looking at Louisville and Missouri. I

516
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: think they're going to ge visits from him. But also

517
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: I think it was Pete Nakos earlier today that I

518
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: saw talking about the idea, and he's not the only

519
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: one that's mentioned this.

520
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: I just saw him talking about it.

521
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: The idea that maybe possibly there's the concept that multiple

522
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: guys from USC are coming with Miller Moss wherever he goes.

523
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see.

524
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: I know that they've had some guys going the portal today,

525
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: could have some more going the portal.

526
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 2: That's always a talking point. Far more rare is it

527
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: that it's reality. But who knows? This could be a

528
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: reality based situation.

529
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: Eric Singleton is the number one overall player in the

530
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: portal right now. That's the Georgia Tech wide receiver, and

531
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: he is looking strongly at Georgia. I would call Georgia

532
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: the leader in the clubhouse for his services right now.

533
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: He is a legit deep threat explosive pass catcher. And

534
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: I just did something I hope I never do again.

535
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: That's just baselessly blindly reading off a graphic on the screen.

536
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: The graphic's right.

537
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm just if it's already there, Like, do I really

538
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: need to read it to you? Casey conception On from

539
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: NC State is also in the portal right now. Alabama

540
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: is in the mix with him. This was a freshman

541
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: All American at wide receiver in twenty twenty two, and

542
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: then no one had much of a shot at NC

543
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: State of doing anything noteworthy last year. So Bama's in

544
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: this A and M's in this A, and M's also

545
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: win it from Micah Hudson, the five star from Texas Tech.

546
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: These are all receivers. By the way, it looks like

547
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: a visit to A and M's lined up there. They're

548
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: going after a big time wide receiver, aren't we all?

549
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: So I expect A and M to be able to

550
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: hit on one of these guys, is.

551
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: Ole Miss gonna do it again? Old Mess?

552
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: Is Crystal bald As the favorite for the number three,

553
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: number five, and number eight players in the portal right now?

554
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: And they're all defensive, well, two of the defensive guys,

555
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: and then we got an interior offensive lineman that maybe

556
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe maybe Lin Kiffin just does it all

557
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: over again. I am very concerned with what's happening at Arkansas.

558
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: It does not mean the world if you retain your

559
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: head coach. If the players leave, that's happening at Arkansas.

560
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: That's happening at Kentucky. Florida State has had eighteen of

561
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: them going the portal. Now, Listen, I'm not dumb enough

562
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: to fail to realize not all of these are guys

563
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: that you are actually losing.

564
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: Many of them may.

565
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Be guys you encouraged to go in the portal, or

566
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: you did not lay on the ground behind their car

567
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: as they were backing out. But at Arkansas they're losing players.

568
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: LSU does not feel like they're in a great spot

569
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: to me. Virginia Tech does not feel like they're in

570
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: a great spot to me for different reasons. Programmed to program,

571
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: But at Arkansas. The vibe around there was a right,

572
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: we either want to win a bunch of games this

573
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: year or we want to lose enough to where Pittman's

574
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: not retained. Well, they landed somewhere in the middle and

575
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: Pittman is retained, But it doesn't feel like the energy

576
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: around the program is such that guys want to stick around.

577
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: It's early in the cycle, so I'm willing to wait

578
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: and see. But I don't have a lot of confidence

579
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: inspired in me right now about what's happening at Arkansas.

580
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 2: A lot of folks watch them, by the way, I

581
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: know a lot of folks will watch this.

582
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: Individual video on transfer portal because it's always a really

583
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: hot topic for us.

584
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: Just make sure you subscribe to the channel while you're here.

585
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: We appreciate you being here. It's free. It's free. It

586
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 2: doesn't sign you up for anything. It just helps us.

587
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: There is an important note with the portal here that

588
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: I want you all to take special time to pay

589
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 1: attention to. There's a misnomer. There's a very very big

590
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: misnomer actually that's floating around, and that is okay. The

591
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: portal opened on December ninth. The portal closes on December

592
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighth. Well, let's do some quick math. That means

593
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: if I'm in the playoff past December twenty eighth, then

594
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: my players are going to stick around. I mean, who's

595
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: going to hop in the portal when you're on a

596
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: playoff team, right, My players will stick around, and I

597
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: will have pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. The calendar

598
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: will have worked to my advantage, and whoo, we made

599
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: it to the semi finals. Our players are locked in

600
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: until being at least and we're good. No you're not, No,

601
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: you're not. I have in my hand the entire NCAA

602
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: rule book. No I don't, but I have a piece

603
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: of paper. You need to know something, whether you're playing

604
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: in a playoff game or whether you're just playing in

605
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: a late bowl game. Players have five days after the

606
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: end of their season to enter into the transfer portal.

607
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: So if you are, for example, Texas or Georgia or whoever,

608
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: and you go to the semi finals and you get eliminated,

609
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: you're still in the weeds here. A bunch of guys

610
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: can hit the portal the very next day or the

611
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: day after, or after, or after or after they have

612
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: five days to enter the portal. Now, that doesn't mean

613
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: you're in a situation where you're set up to lose guys,

614
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: but you can't take anyone. Remember the rule here, December

615
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: twenty eighth is just the day you have to have

616
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: entered the portal by, unless your season ends after that,

617
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: in which case you have extenuating circumstances and you have

618
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: a five day window that you can go in. But like,

619
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: if so, Alabama season is over right now, So Caleb

620
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: Odum goes in the portal from Alabama. I'm making all

621
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: this up. I don't know anything about where he's headed.

622
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 1: Caleb Odum goes in the portal. Well, Caleb Odam has

623
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: gone in the portal by December twenty eighth. He doesn't

624
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: have to be committed by December twenty eighth. So like

625
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: if Caleb Odam wanted to go to Texas and Texas

626
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: is playing until the semi finals and Caleb Odam just

627
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: wants to wait and see what their roster situation is,

628
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: and then Texas loses a bunch of receivers on January third,

629
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: Caleb Odom could wait till Valentine's Day for all he cares.

630
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: He just has to be in the portal by December

631
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, so that December twenty eighth, d eight. It's the

632
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: end of the portal. But it's really not. On multiple fronts,

633
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: it's really not. So stay locked in, guys, Stay locked in.

634
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: Drama that starts in twenty twenty four can roll over

635
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty five.

636
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: Speaking of rolling, how are you going to do it

637
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 2: with no gas?

638
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: Quick Trips got the answer. You know, with the gas

639
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: pumps outside and all, and a lot of you have

640
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: not been having to pay for gas because I have

641
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: been giving it to you for free courtesy of our

642
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: giveaway deal with quick Trip. How does it work? Well,

643
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: here's how it works. You ask for free gas, and

644
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: I give a lot of you free gas. It's very technical.

645
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of language in that contract there. Now,

646
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: for many of you, you have found that the best

647
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: way to put yourself in position for that gas is

648
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: to go to quick Trip, take a picture of yourself

649
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: in the parking lot and tag me and quick Trip

650
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: on social Yeah, that gets our attention. But I'll be real,

651
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: I've given free gas to some of you just because

652
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: I was in a good mood. I've given free gas

653
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: to some of you like there was a guy on

654
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: Twitter earlier today that said he had just resuscitated an

655
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: old lady and she said that she wanted to be

656
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: called me maw.

657
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: We're probably gonna send him a free take of gas.

658
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: Like general rule of thumb on the show has always been,

659
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: if you promote the show or save someone's life, we're

660
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna give you something for free.

661
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: Generally, that's what we've.

662
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: Tried to addhere to a few life savers may have

663
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: slipped between the cracks, but by and large, we reward

664
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: you if you promote the show or you say people's lives,

665
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: especially if they're asking to be called memo. So quick

666
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: trip has fueled the whole New Saturday tour all year. Someday,

667
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: when the dust settles and the season's over, I'll give

668
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: you some of the stories behind the scenes from the

669
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 1: whole New Saturday tour this year. Okay, Jesse, I need

670
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: to ask you a question, So wake up in the

671
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: control room.

672
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: We're doing the.

673
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: Show live, so I have to do this sometimes. Do

674
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: we have any news on Bill Belichick? Okay, we don't

675
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: have anything, all right. And then the other thing that

676
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: I need to remember, actually, just remind me.

677
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 2: To talk to you about it. Afterwards.

678
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: I spotted something on the screen, but I don't want

679
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: to change it right now. Bill Belichick in North Carolina

680
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: a month ago, whoms to amongst us is guessing that

681
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: this is a headline. So let me cut to the chase.

682
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick wants to coach in the NFL.

683
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: Again.

684
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: I think most people around football understand that. You probably

685
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: don't have to have been around football to understand that

686
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: don't appeared to be any immediate head coaching jobs opening

687
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: that either he can get or that he wants, but

688
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: the North Carolina jobs open, and apparently Bill Belichick wants it.

689
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: I have viewed this with skeptical eyes from the beginning.

690
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: I still do. But there is a lot of smoke here,

691
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: a lot of smoke. So let's walk through what we've heard,

692
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: because what we heard today was interesting to some and

693
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: an eye roll to others. There were a lot of

694
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: rumblings out there today that hey, well, first off, there

695
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: were rumblings that we could hear something last night, and

696
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: then there were rumblings the night before that that we

697
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: could hear something. And what's obvious is a lot of

698
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: cooks in the kitchen. It is North Carolina Athletics.

699
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: After all.

700
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of cooks in the kitchen

701
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick wants it, but he wants it conditionally.

702
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: And there are reports, unconfirmed reports that maybe he wants

703
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: a head coach in waiting title for his son. I

704
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true or not. It's just being

705
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: bandied about like a tumbleweed rolling around on Twitter and

706
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: the Internet in message boards, etc. But what's more realistic

707
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: is it's highly likely Bill Belichick has a lot of

708
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: guarantees that he wants in place.

709
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: That's not uncommon.

710
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: If I were taking the North Carolina head coaching job,

711
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: I'd want a lot of guarantees. Namely, I want to

712
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: be able to be guaranteed that I'm going to be

713
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: competitive and revenue sharing in anil. I want to be

714
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: able to put together competitive roster. That's what it's all about.

715
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: So he wants that not a shot. But earlier today

716
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: there were a lot of reports that he had delivered

717
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: a four hundred plus page bible to North Carolina that

718
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: detailed the structure that he wanted in payment plans and

719
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: how he was going to staff and more. And this

720
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 1: caught a lot of eyes and it raised a lot

721
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: of eyebrows, and it shouldn't have because this is very

722
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: common when you're trying to get a job in coaching

723
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: or elsewhere.

724
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 2: True story here.

725
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: I cannot share specifics, but once upon a time I

726
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: had a little insight into management. It's interview process at

727
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: this company, not management interviewing someone, although I've sat in

728
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: on that as well, but I sat in on management

729
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: being interviewed for the job. Fascinating process. Management came to

730
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: the table equipped and he had a plan for how

731
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: he was going to do this and that, and he

732
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: had answers to every question before we finished the sentence.

733
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: And that's how you get a job.

734
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: That's how you get the job done in the interview process.

735
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: And so it's no different in coaching. You got to

736
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: be able to answer the questions in many cases that

737
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: you know are coming your way before they even come

738
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: in you. Frankly, you need to know the questions that

739
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: they don't even need to know to ask, because an

740
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: athletic director or a board of trustee member has never

741
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 1: coached it down a football in their life in most cases,

742
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: and yet they're going to hire you and then maybe

743
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: fire you based on your ability to do all that.

744
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: So Bill Belichick has all these grandiose ideas, and to

745
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: someone who's not well versed in this process, you said,

746
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: oh man, four hundred pages, This dude's revolutionary in what respect?

747
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 2: That's my question?

748
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: In what respect is Bill Belichick bringing anything revolutionary to

749
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: the table at North Carolina. I don't have a particularly

750
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: awesome feeling about it, although I do have a couple

751
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: of North Carolina brethren who disagree. I just want to

752
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: know what is it that is overtly special that Bill

753
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: Belichick is going to bring to the table. No, no, no, no, no,

754
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 1: hold on, let me finish. I didn't ask what's special

755
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: about his Wikipedia page. I didn't ask what's special about

756
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: the fistfuls of rings that he has. I didn't ask

757
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: anything about the past. I'm asking, as it relates to

758
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: being a college football head coach twenty twenty five and

759
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: beyond at a second tier institution football wise, in the

760
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: third or fourth best conference in America right now, what

761
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: is it that's revolutionary or groundbreaking that he's going to

762
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: bring to the table. Because I know what the sell

763
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: point is. The sell point is, hey, if college football's

764
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: transaction now, if college football is like NFL light, if

765
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: It's all about staying inside the cap, understanding how to

766
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: allocate budget, understanding how to build and construct a roster,

767
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: understanding how to staff a front office. If you think

768
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: knowing that stuff's revolutionary, you need to go take a

769
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: look at the University of Texas. You need to understand

770
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: how organ's operating, or Ohio State or Alabama, or in

771
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: your own conference. You need to take a stroll around

772
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: the halls at a Miami. I'm not even saying all

773
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: these places are winning at a high level. I'm just

774
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: saying if you think understanding how to build the organization

775
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: to mirror the Sunday game is revolutionary, due they got

776
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: people inside the building at North Carolina who have already

777
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: been doing that. Maybe not at a high enough level.

778
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: Maybe they weren't turned loose enough. Maybe they weren't given

779
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: proper resource enough to make you notice or be competitive.

780
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: But guys, I talk to these folks every week.

781
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: I go to conventions with them, Like I listen to

782
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: the closed town hall Q and A sessions.

783
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: I've sat in on the panels.

784
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: This is old news, like understanding that you've got to

785
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: construct a college football front office to mirror the NFL

786
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: and bringing NFL people in to either consult with or

787
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: outright build it for you. That's old news. That's old news.

788
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: So that's not revolutionary. It sounds like it because you

789
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: rarely get to see under the hood of the car.

790
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: You just see whether it runs correctly or not. I'm

791
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: in a position where I do get to see under

792
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: the hood. That stuff's not revolutionary. So next you bring

793
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: some revolutionary offense in, you bring some revolutionary defense in.

794
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 1: Do you have a relatability or a connectability with high

795
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: school prospective student athletes that your peers in the conference

796
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: don't have. I'm open to be sold on that, by

797
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: the way, I just don't necessarily think that's Bill Belichick's forte.

798
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: By the way, as you attract talent to Chapel Hill

799
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: at every turn, the programs you're competing against are going

800
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: to be in kid's ears saying he's going to the

801
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: NFL the moment he hits the exit door. Now the

802
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: counter to that is, Josh, that would matter in the

803
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: old recruiting structure, that's not going to matter in twenty

804
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: twenty five and beyond.

805
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: It's all transactional.

806
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: Now, you know you're just going to sign free agents

807
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: to one year deals at a time, and if a

808
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: kid hears that the head coach is leaving in a year,

809
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: it really won't matter to him because he can leave

810
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: as well. That's true, but that's not how you build

811
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: a winner. The misnomer out there is that now that

812
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: college football is transactional is a really popular phrase and

813
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: buzzword right now, Now that college football is just like

814
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, relationships don't matter so much anymore. You know,

815
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: roster continuity doesn't matter so much anymore. It's bs, it's wrong,

816
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: that's incorrect. Oh, you can go get players that way,

817
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: and you can win some games that way. But I

818
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: want you to pay special attention to the little tournament

819
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: we have coming up called the college Football Playoff, and

820
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: I want you to watch is that as that field

821
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: thins out, I want you to watch the teams at

822
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: the end because they will be deep pocketed and they

823
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: will have paid a lot of money for that roster.

824
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: But they will not have always been the highest bidder.

825
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: Contrary to what the headlines say, they will not have

826
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: always been the highest bidder. What they will have done

827
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: is they will have offered close to fair market value

828
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: for kids, but they will have sold kids on playing

829
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: for the brand, the logo and what that logo means

830
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: and the culture that it reflects, and they will have

831
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: gotten kids to buy into that. And there is again

832
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: a misnomer out there that that's by gone. That concept

833
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: of creating a culture and then immersing kids in the culture.

834
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 2: Now that's twenty twenty one stuff. That's old recruiting fantasy stuff.

835
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: Now it's just paying kids the most money and having

836
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: them come in mercenary style and you just work for

837
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: the paycheck. And it's no different than clocking it and

838
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: a nine to five what the pro guys doing on Sunday.

839
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 2: Yes it is different, Yes it is different.

840
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: And I'd suggest to you that even at the Sunday level,

841
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: the strongest cultures disproportionately win, and therefore pick low in

842
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: the draft come draft time, and then the weaker cultures

843
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: are always in the top ten. Pick him unless you

844
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: had massive quarterback injuries and whatnot.

845
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying.

846
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick can't succeed at the college level. I got

847
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: no clue if he can. It's really hard to do it.

848
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 1: I got no clue if he can. But I'm telling

849
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: you there's nothing revolutionary in concept.

850
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 2: About the ideas that a lot of people are throwing

851
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: out about this. So we'll see if he gets the job.

852
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: But if he does, you've got to be doing something different,

853
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,959
Speaker 1: or you've got to be doing something that others are doing,

854
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: but you've got to be.

855
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: Doing it at a higher level than them.

856
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: That's the part I'm not necessarily sold on with the

857
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: idea of Bill Belichick at North Carolina. What I am

858
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: sold on is I was wrong and Zva was right.

859
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: I have admitted wrongdoing like three times on the show tonight.

860
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel great, and Jesse, we need to cut

861
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: a reel because there are those on the college football

862
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: streets who say I never admit I'm wrong. Well, tonight's

863
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: show has been like a case study. And the fact

864
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: that yeah, theories up in smoke Zvia comes to me

865
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago.

866
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: I said, we want to do a contest. I said,

867
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 2: I'm all ears, Hey.

868
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: Send me more great zvia swam I'm all ears And

869
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: they said, okay, well that's you know, you go buy

870
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: that stuff for very cheap. I said, I want it free,

871
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: so they send it to me. All right, So they said,

872
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: we want to do a contest. We want to give

873
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: away a bunch of stuff. It's December, it's the Christmas season.

874
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: We want to give away a bunch of gift cards.

875
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: We want to give away some child life supremacy. We

876
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: want to give away some ZV. I said, okay, how

877
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: are we going to do it? And they said, oh,

878
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: very easy. Just just tell folks that ZV is available

879
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: at Walmart nationwide. So toast it's great tonight it's available

Speaker 1: them a hundred dollars Walmart gift card. I said, well

887
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: that sounds easy enough, but I didn't think many of

888
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: you would do it.

889
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 2: I was wrong. Tons of you have done it.

Speaker 2: That is.

906
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: It truly would be a wonderful life if that was

907
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: how Christmas went for you.

908
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 2: It could happen. It could happen.

909
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: Okay, speaking of things that could happen, speaking even of

910
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: things that we've talked about on this show, I have

911
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: to discuss.

912
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 2: Something with you.

913
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: Let me get this little quote over here ready. Okay,

914
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: just got it on standby.

915
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 2: The college football playoff is upon us, and there are

916
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 2: some things.

917
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: In fact, there are many things that people have been

918
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: pointing out that they don't love about it. Now, I

919
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: think by far the most popular takeaway from folks that

920
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: have some discontent is they don't like the format the

921
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: structure itself. I've got a big problem with it too,

922
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to continue to beat this drum cause,

923
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: like everyone's pointed it out, the fact that you've got

924
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: automatic buys for the four highest rank conference champs, that

925
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: format has flaws. You did, not, in my opinion, need

926
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: to get to last Sunday before you realized that was

927
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: a flaw. We said it the day the format came

928
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: out because they tried to sneak it by you, and

929
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: you're like, hold up, wait, the four highest rank conference

930
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: champs are the only ones that can get a bye.

931
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh huh.

932
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: What so if the number one and number two teams

933
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: in the country playing a conference title game, the loser

934
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: of that thing may not even drop out of the

935
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: top four in the rankings, but they can't have a

936
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: first round by. Meanwhile, like the number sixteen team in

937
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: the country, Clemson could end up winning the ACC and

938
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna get a guaranteed spot in the playoff. They

939
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: may even have a first round by and if not,

940
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: then Boise state, Yeah, that's how it's gonna work. Okay, Well,

941
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: if that's how it's gonna work, the format's gonna suck. Well,

942
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: breaking news, the format sucks. So a lot of people

943
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: think that. So a lot of people are just running

944
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: around saying this is gonna change. I'm one of them.

945
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna change. But it's important to remember

946
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: why we're here. It wasn't just that all of the

947
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: conference commissioners got together late one night and said, all right,

948
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: our format's due tomorrow. Let's just hastily throw something together.

949
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: That's not the way it happened. It had to happen

950
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: this way. I mean, you really think, you really think

951
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: Tony Pettiti or whoever was the commissioner of the Big

952
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: Ten at the time it was formatted, or Greg Sanki,

953
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: you really think the commissioners of the two most powerful

954
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: conferences in the country wanted the concept of only conference

955
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: champs having the first four seeds and the automatic Buyas

956
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: of course they didn't, but we were in a situation

957
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: where in order to change the contract in order to

958
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: get your expanded playoff, in order for everyone to become

959
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: more rich. And by everyone, I don't mean us I

960
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: mean them. For everyone to get their ultimate financial way,

961
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: there had to be concessions. This is no different than

962
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: watching House of Cards and watching Frank Underwood try to

963
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: push a bill through Congress.

964
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 2: This is the way it works. You have to give

965
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 2: so you can take.

966
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: In the end, the bill that comes out on the

967
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: floor looks nothing like what it originated as, but it's

968
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: a bill that you can get passed. Well, this was

969
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: the format they could get passed because you had to

970
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: get sign off on all of the major conference commissioners.

971
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: So the SEC had to sign off on it, but

972
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: so did the AAC. The Big ten had to sign

973
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: off on it, but so did the MAC. And the

974
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: MAC was not gonna sit around, And the G five's

975
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: were not gonna sit around and say, oh, sure, we'll

976
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: expand the playoff with no further parameters or caveats.

977
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. We need some guarantees.

978
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: So the G five got a guaranteed spot, and the

979
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: five highest rink conference champs were going to be in,

980
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: and the four highest rink conference champs were gonna have buys,

981
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: and that's what they had to sign off on. So

982
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: just a little backstory, a little FYI. That's why we

983
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: are where we are. But now people don't like it,

984
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: and you shouldn't because it's not a good format.

985
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: Although I admit they had.

986
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: To do it this way to get to the expanded playoff.

987
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: Alternative possibility, don't expand the playoff.

988
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: But I'm not going down that road. I promised you

989
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 2: not going down that road.

990
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: So Ross Dellinger is doing as good a job as

991
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: anyone in his space of breaking news, and unlike some

992
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: in his space, he actually cites people when he reports

993
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: news that's already been broken. I know it's a revolutionary

994
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: concept in the world of journalism, but not everyone practices

995
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 1: that Ross does. And he's a friend of the program.

996
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: So we love Ross over on yahoosports dot com. I

997
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: would strongly encourage you to go check out the piece

998
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: that he has up. So he sat down with Greg

999
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: Sanki today. They're out in Las Vegas. I think at

1000
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: the Sports Business Journal Forum. There's like a forum every

1001
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 1: week for these people, and Ross got with Greg Sanki

1002
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: and it was the first time publicly that the SEC

1003
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: Commissioner has spoken about the playoff. Okay, so Colin, keep

1004
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: this quote up for a second, because I'm gonna read

1005
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: it in a second but they to me. To me,

1006
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big Ten have had a solution

1007
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: that they wanted all along. They were just waiting for

1008
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: the problem to come along. Well, the problem came along.

1009
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: Now there are many listening to this who despise the

1010
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: SEC at a cellular level. So what I'm about to

1011
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: say is not to insind you that you all agree

1012
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: with this. I am speaking from the perspective of SEC

1013
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: Commissioner Greg Sanki. When they look at the way the

1014
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: playoff just went down, they think conference title games are

1015
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: losing their value. They're worried about conference schedules chewing up

1016
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: their best teams, I e. Ole Myths, South Carolina, Alabama

1017
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: and they're left out. The committee is very uncertain year

1018
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: at the year, and they don't know what they're gonna

1019
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 1: get there. Those are problems they already had the solution.

1020
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: Now with that in mind, I want you to look

1021
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: at the screen, and if you're listening on podcasts, don't worry.

1022
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: Uncle Josh has the book in front of him. So

1023
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read along. Greg Sankie spoke to Ross Dellingry.

1024
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: This is a very important piece. And as you go

1025
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: to guy who sports dot com and read this, even

1026
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: though I don't work for him. I plugged their website

1027
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,919
Speaker 1: multiple times. There was a little format that was thrown

1028
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: around in spring. Maybe you recall it. Of course, called

1029
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: for the playoff to expand again, so you can't sneeze

1030
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: a proposal without it including more playoff expansion, but baked

1031
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: to that.

1032
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 2: Do you remember it was a little while ago.

1033
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: Do you remember there were guaranteed amounts of spots in

1034
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: these new formats for the SEC in the Big twelve,

1035
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: there's like four guaranteed spots or something like that, And

1036
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people were up in arms about that

1037
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 1: because why should you have a guaranteed amount of spots

1038
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: at the table?

1039
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: And they were like, well, because.

1040
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: We're bigger and more powerful than you, and you thought

1041
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: whatever you thought about that. Okay, with that concept floating

1042
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: around again, I want you to listen to this paragraph

1043
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: from this Ross Dellinger piece today where he interviewed Greg Sninke. Quote,

1044
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: such a concept multiple automatic bids for these conferences may

1045
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: come with a reimagining of conference championship weekend. I don't

1046
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: want to yell I told you so, so I'm not

1047
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: going to. But those of you who have been around

1048
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: for a while you know, good and well we've told you,

1049
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: he continues, At the very least, officials have discussed a

1050
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: play in style conference tournament where winners would punch their

1051
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: bids into the play off. For instance, if the Big

1052
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 1: ten gets three automatic bids, perhaps their number three and

1053
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: four seeds meet in a play in game.

1054
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 2: What did I just read?

1055
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: What I read is where this is headed, and where

1056
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: I think those two leagues have known it's headed for

1057
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: a while, This little twelve team format that we got

1058
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: such problem with right now, some of us it's.

1059
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 2: Not of their concern.

1060
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: It's a stop gap twenty twenty six, and beyond that

1061
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: format is gonna look different. I would imagine the playoff

1062
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: will expand again, I'm numb to it. You ask me

1063
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: what I think about it, I'm numb to it. But

1064
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: I will give you some thoughts in a second. But

1065
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: I will tell you what I think is about to happen,

1066
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: because I've said the same thing for about a year

1067
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: and a half. Now, this is where this was always headed.

1068
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: If you've been watching the show for a while, that

1069
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: right there, what I just read you sounds very familiar,

1070
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: because it was pretty easy to see coming the idea

1071
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: that the conference championship games, We're gonna struggle to maintain

1072
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: their value. But they have to because the net works

1073
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: have paid a ton of money, a ton of money

1074
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: for them. And so ESPN cannot have the SEC championship

1075
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 1: game losing its value. CBS or Fox or whoever's carrying

1076
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 1: the Big ten championship game that year. They cannot have

1077
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: that game evaporating in their hands when it comes to

1078
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: how valuable it is and how important it is. So

1079
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: the way you do that is you reform at the

1080
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: playoff and you throw your weight around next year to

1081
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: do it, and you get yourself three or four guaranteed

1082
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: spots in the playoff.

1083
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 2: Because once you have that, you have everything.

1084
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 1: So if I'm the SEC, if I know I've got

1085
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: let's just say it's three, if I've got three guaranteed spots,

1086
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: or call it four, if I've got four guaranteed spots

1087
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: at the table. At that point, I don't have to

1088
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: worry about the committee anymore. I've got to worry about

1089
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: my conference standings. That's all that matters at that point.

1090
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: Greg Sinki went on in that piece, by the way,

1091
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: on ironically to say, hey, hey, if all of the

1092
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: rest of this is subjective. Let's just go back to

1093
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: the one thing that's crystal clear. Conference standings. Well, the

1094
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: only way they can do that is if they know

1095
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: they got a guaranteed amount of seats at the table.

1096
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: But if you know you got a guaranteed amount of

1097
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 1: seats at the table, Colin, keep this up here, then

1098
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: all you have to do is look at the SEC

1099
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: standings and the way you would figure this out and

1100
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: the way you would reward your teams for having a

1101
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: good years. You take Texas at number one, they get

1102
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: one of the chairs. They don't have to play another game.

1103
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: Georgia number two, they get one of the chairs. They

1104
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 1: don't have to play another game. You may say to yourself, Josh,

1105
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: aren't they going to go to the SEC championship game? Nope,

1106
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm getting to that. Hold on, those two are already

1107
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: in now. Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Alabama are

1108
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: the next four highest ranked SEC teams in this given year. Well,

1109
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: here's what you do with your conference championship weekend. You

1110
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: actually create two games instead of one. But they're not

1111
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: conference championship games anymore. They are play in games, and

1112
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: so three would play, six Tennessee would face Alabama in

1113
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: one of them, winner gets the third chair. South Carolina

1114
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: would play Ole Miss winner gets the fourth chair. That's

1115
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: how you figure out how your four SEC teams are

1116
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: going to be in the dance. Same things happen and

1117
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: simultaneously in the Big Ten. So what you've done there

1118
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: is you've actually added inventory for your media partner. You

1119
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: changed what Conference Championship weekend used to be into what

1120
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: is called play in weekend, whatever you want to call it,

1121
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:30,240
Speaker 1: and you crystallized the idea of your conference championship race

1122
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: having maximum meaning and more teams being involved all the

1123
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: way to the finish line. Now, this is going to happen.

1124
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: I promise you this is coming. Either this is coming

1125
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: or something much more radical is coming. That right there

1126
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: is not radical based on where we are now, that's

1127
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 1: common sensical, that's practical. They won't sign off on anything

1128
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: beneath that moving forward.

1129
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 2: I hope everyone understands that. So what do I think

1130
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 2: about it?

1131
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: Well, of course I don't want like it because I

1132
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: don't think anyone should be guaranteed anything at the table.

1133
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't think any conference should be guaranteed anything at

1134
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: the table. If the Big ten's great, they ought to

1135
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:10,240
Speaker 1: be able to have eight.

1136
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 2: Teams out of the twelve team field. For all I care.

1137
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: If the SEC sucks, they should have one or two teams.

1138
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: If they're great, they should have seven or eight teams.

1139
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: I am for this, very very very radical idea, that is,

1140
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: we should just take the twelve highest ranked teams at

1141
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: the end of the year and put them in the

1142
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: playoff I know, right.

1143
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 2: Ugh, Oh, it would never work. Yeah, yeah, it'd never work.

1144
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: It never worked because the folks that exert control over

1145
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: the sport wouldn't have control over it.

1146
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 2: That's why it would never work.

1147
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: Well, when i'm college football commissioner, all that's out the window,

1148
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 1: but I haven't been elected yet.

1149
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 2: But that is where we're headed.

1150
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: People, many play in formats in those major conferences to

1151
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: decide who gets guaranteed spots at the playoff table. If

1152
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: that sounds attractive to you, okay, if you hate it, okay,

1153
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating for it. I'm just that's probably scratched.

1154
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 1: That definitely where we're headed. Where are you headed this

1155
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: championship season, this playoff season? Many of you are scouring

1156
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 1: the internet. I know, I know my audience very well.

1157
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: Many of you are scouring the internet. Why are you

1158
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: doing that because you want to go to the playoffs.

1159
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: You're an Indiana fan. You live in Tera Hate just

1160
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: beautiful this time of year, and you want to go

1161
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: up to South Bend for the playoff. Oh my goodness,

1162
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: the ticket market is outrageous. However, I can at least

1163
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: tell you where to go to get a little discount

1164
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: over at seat geek. Any of you who are looking

1165
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: for could be looking for playoff tickets. You could just

1166
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 1: you could just want to go see justin Timberlake for

00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: all I care. You go there, you use the code

1168

1169
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: You get ten percent off. There's no catch here, Okay.

1170
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: It is a fact that most of you are going

1171
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: to some kind of entertainment based event in the near

1172
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 1: future that you're gonna need tickets for them. And if

1173
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: you don't have an end with your boss, or if

1174
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: your company doesn't get a guaranteed amount, if you're one

1175
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: of us normies and you just got to buy them

1176
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: the old fashion way, buy them the old fashion way,

1177
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,839
Speaker 1: but just do it a little bit cheaper by going

1178
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: to seat geek and using Peate State ten as the

1179
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: promo code on.

1180
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 2: Your way up.

1181
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: I would suggest telling all your friends about that as well.

1182
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: It'll make us look great and it will save them

1183
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: some money. Now that's the good news. The bad news is, oh,

1184
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: you got screwed it up in your predictions this year.

1185
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 1: And we have talked long enough tonight about where I got.

1186
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 2: It wrong this year.

1187
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: So let's talk about where you got it wrong. Let's

1188
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: save me for a little while. We do bold predictions

1189
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: every spring and summer. I put a rating on how

1190
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: bold the predictions are, and then we just bookmark it

1191
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: and we come back in December. And that's the fun part.

1192
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: This is the not fun part. Like, for example, the

1193
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: first one that I want to hit tonight is from

1194
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: Tyler in Austin, Texas. He said, we'll have a matchup

1195
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: of undefeateds for the national championship. Now I put a

1196
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: nine and a half on this out of a one

1197
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: to ten boldness scale. The rule here is if I

1198
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: rate your prediction nine and a half or bolder, and

1199
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: it happens, you get a chalice of supremacy. Well, Tyler,

1200
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: it's not happening for you because we only got one

1201
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: undefeated team left. That's Oregon. That's before the things even started.

1202
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: This time last year, we had Michigan still undefeated, We

1203
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: had Washington still undefeated, and they did play for the title.

1204
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: So this did happen last year. FSU was undefeated, but

1205
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: they weren't in the playoff. So this happened last year.

1206
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: It's not happening this year. And I think that we've

1207
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: probably come close to seeing the end of that era.

1208
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: With how deeper these major conferences are and how thinner

1209
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: the depth is, relatively speaking.

1210
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 2: Than in years past.

1211
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough to get those undefeated matchups late

1212
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: in the year. So that one busted, next one was just, oh,

1213
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: it's terrible. The next one was not all that bold

1214
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: to me. Tyler from Maryville, Tennessee said Ohio State will

1215
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: beat Michigan by two plus touchdowns. Now you see the

1216
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: date there. This is from June. It's not from late November,

1217
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't have even been bolded in late November.

1218
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: I only gave this a seven on the boldness scale.

1219
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 2: Tyler.

1220
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: If you would have texted me this the morning of

1221
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: the game, I would have given it a five or

1222
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: a four. Ohio State was favored by twenty and a half.

1223
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: They didn't even need to cover to win by two

1224
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: plus touchdowns. And I think we all remember how this

1225
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: went down. I will never have confidence in this game again.

1226
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: Ohio State could play a high school from the state

1227
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: of Michigan, and I will be nervous if I'm betting

1228
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State for the foreseeable future. My confidence is shaken

1229
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: mightily in the balance of power in that rivalry. It's

1230
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna take a while for me to fill my confidence

1231
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: tank back up.

1232
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 2: I mean this is a tank. Even quick trip could

1233
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: not fill up. Next up. This one was a ten.

1234
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: This one was never gonna happen.

1235
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: Jake hit me up and said, Deon Sanders will take

1236
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,439
Speaker 1: another job before the end of a season. If there's

1237
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: one thing Dion is good at knowing, it's when the

1238
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: ship is sinking and getting off of it quickly. He

1239
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: sent me this on May fifth, and I said, you

1240
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: are wrong. This is ten on the boldness scale. Well,

1241
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Dion is in Boulder, Colorado tonight and he is wrapping

1242
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: up a nine and three regular season. I don't know

1243
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: in what scenario this was ever gonna happen, because if

1244
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: the ship was sinking, what job was he leaving to take? Firstly,

1245
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: and secondly, the ship didn't sink. The ship's fine, man.

1246
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: They actually built like layers onto this ship. It's a

1247
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: bigger ship. It's nine and three. He was never leaving.

1248
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: It was never gonna happen in that scenario. So this

1249
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: was a ten on the boldness scale. No child of

1250
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: supremacy being sent out there. Next up, this one's pretty

1251
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: painful too. This one was an eight and a half

1252
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. This one takes us to Lee County, Alabama.

1253
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: Jacob said, well, Jacob actually hails from Indianapolis, but he

1254
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: made a prediction about a team in Lee County, Alabama.

1255
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: He's at Auburn, wins nine games, and they knock on

1256
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: the door of the playoff. Auburn went five and seven.

1257
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: The follow up there, they did not knock on the

1258
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: door of the playoff. They're knocking on the door of

1259
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: a local shelter. They are not in a bowl game.

1260
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: And so that's the way it went. Now, what's painful

1261
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: about this is it's not a bunch of blowouts. The

1262
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: cow game change one play, change, one play in the

1263
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Arkansas game, one play in the Missouri game. The Oklahoma

1264
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: game still haunts me because I bet Auburn that week.

1265
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 2: There's a world.

1266
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 1: Where you know, you just just go in there and

1267
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: reverse engineer like four or five plays, and Auburn's an

1268
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: eight or nine win team, and maybe they would have been,

1269
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: maybe they would have been in this little group of

1270
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: teams in the ten through fifteen range that was begging.

1271
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: They were knocking on the door, as you said, of

1272
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: a playoff spot. But alas that is not how it

1273
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: turned out. How it turned out is poverty and then

1274
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Auburn next year. FanDuel does

1275
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,919
Speaker 1: not have an over underwent total on Auburn for next year,

1276
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: but buddy, they have a lot of other odds up.

1277
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: I gave you all the hypetheticals on the games that

1278
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: may happen tonight in the playoff. I gave you numbers.

1279

Speaker 1: course go bet the point spread. You could go bet

1288
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: over unders on these games. Bowl games are right here

1289
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,960

1291
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: to go bet over there. In fact, if you're unsure,

1292
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,600

1293
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,880

Speaker 1: questions here, but I do want to tell you with

1315
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: the way we'll format December, a couple of things, I'm

1316
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna get to a ton of your questions. I am

1317
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: going to have several special conversations in the month of

1318
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: December coming up. I'm excited about that. It's a new

1319
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: format we want to try out. So stand by on

1320
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: that get little sip of grape Zeba. I can't just

1321
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: look at that can over there. Oh, every time I

1322
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: take a sip of grape it rechallenges cream soda for

1323
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: my favorite. Okay, Benji hit me up today, he said,

1324
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: does it take a national title for Oregon to become

1325
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: a blue blood? No, Oregon could win every game by

1326
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: fifty in this playoff. They're not a blue blood, and

1327
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: they could win the title again next year and they

1328
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: still wouldn't be a blue blood, because that's not what

1329
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: a blue blood means.

1330
01:04:58,080 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 2: Now.

1331
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: They could be a dynasty or or something like that.

1332
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: They could be on a really, really unprecedented heater, they

1333
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: could be on a hot streak to be a blue blood.

1334
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: Does that not happen over decades? I think daboswiny and

1335
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Clemson next to Alabama, they had the best run in

1336
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: the twenty teens of any team.

1337
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 2: I don't even think they're a blue blood, like you've

1338
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 2: got to do it decade decade, decade.

1339
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: So Alabama is a historic blue blood, Notre Dame I

1340
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: would call a historic blue blood USC.

1341
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 2: I would call that.

1342
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: These are programs that mattered when your grandfather was alive

1343
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: and when your dad was a kid and you and

1344
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: they may have had dips, but they've mattered nationally. They

1345
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: have been winning at a national level multiple decades. Oregon's

1346
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: not that this is no knock on them. Here's the

1347
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: follow up. It doesn't matter you think. Dan Lanning sits

1348
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: around saying, man, I wish we would have done more

1349
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: of this program in nineteen eighty three, but we didn't,

1350
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: so we can't be a blue blood. No one even cares.

1351
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: No one cares about that anymore. It used to matter

1352
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: a lot more in college athletics than it does now.

1353
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what matters now. What matters now

1354
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: is having juice in the moment. What matters now is

1355
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: being relevant and being able to attract talent and being

1356
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 1: able to do the same things that have always won.

1357
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: But your history as a program is not nearly as

1358
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,439
Speaker 1: big a recruiting factor or a talent acquisition factor.

1359
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 2: As it used to be.

1360
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't but maybe just a generation to go that

1361
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: if it came down to it heads up on the

1362
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: recruiting trail, the team or the program that had the

1363
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: richest history and tradition may be able to ride that

1364
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: factor as the tipping point on the recruiting seesaw, it

1365
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't matter anymore.

1366
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: If Alabama recruits heads up with Oregon. The factors that

1367
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: are going to decide the recruitment of a five star

1368
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver from Denton, Texas when those two are going

1369
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: at it have very little to do with what those

1370
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: programs were doing in the seventies. You probably we have

1371
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: to teach that kid who Paul Bryant was. You probably

1372
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: have to teach him who Mike Bellotti was. So No,

1373
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: it will not make you a blue blood to win

1374
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: a title this year. It doesn't matter if you're a

1375
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: blue blood whether you win a title this year or not.

1376
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Quack quack.

1377
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Next up, we've got a question. Well, actually, man, how

1378
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: about this. I got this late in the show. I

1379
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: didn't even tell you they're watching us in Lincoln, Nebraska,

1380
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 1: Park City, Utah, Tacoma, Washington, and Anderson, South Carolina.

1381
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys.

1382
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Chip hit me up, he said, I heard what you

1383
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: said about coaches claiming they don't want to play old miss.

1384
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Why would they worry when that team couldn't even beat

1385
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: Kentucky and they went nine to three. Well, Chip, because

1386
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: there's still a team that could beat anyone. That's why

1387
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: they'd be worried about it. If you're not picking up

1388
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: what Chip's putting down. The other night on the Sunday

1389
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Night Show, we had just gotten a playoff bracket in

1390
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: our hands, and we had Bama's not in there. South

1391
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: Carolina's not in there, Miami's not in their old Misses

1392
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: not in there, and I said on the show, yeah,

1393
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: I think the committee got it right. No one proceeded

1394
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: to hear me, because for the next forty eight hours

1395
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: everyone claimed that I said the committee got it wrong

1396
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: and these SEC teams should.

1397
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 2: Have been in.

1398
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: I didn't say that they shouldn't be in. But what

1399
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: I did say is everyone's talking about Alabama being the

1400
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,560
Speaker 1: one that got left out. But I had actually corresponded

1401
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: with some coaches and they were saying Ole Miss was

1402
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 1: the team they were glad got left out. Ole Miss

1403
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: was the team out of all of those teams that

1404
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: they least wanted to play. And the reasons they gave

1405
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:37,560
Speaker 1: me were Jackson Dart is a very dynamic thread at quarterback.

1406
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 1: They've got good tailback, excellent wide receiver talent. They have

1407
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: also got the most dynamic group of pass rushers that

1408
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: they think they would have to deal with in the

1409
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: entire playoff field, including all the teams that made the playoff.

1410
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 2: And that makes sense to me.

1411
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: So you could listen to that and you could say, oh, wow,

1412
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: they actually do have a point, like on paper, all

1413
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: of those things exist, or you could say, yeah, but

1414
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: they lost to Kentucky, Well we know they lost to Kentucky.

1415
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,600
Speaker 1: That's why they're not in, or that's one of the

1416
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: reasons why they're not in. But does one Saturday define

1417
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: a team? Does the fact that you lost to Kentucky

1418
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: guarantee that you would perform that way if you played

1419
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: against Tennessee in the playoff?

1420
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 2: Of course it doesn't.

1421
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: I watched an Ohio State team lose to Virginia Tech

1422
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: one year, and I think they went on to win

1423
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: the national title. Well, how dumb would it have looked

1424
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: if as the confetti was raining down? I said, No,

1425
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: this team didn't really just do this. How could the

1426
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: team that lost to Virginia Tech do this?

1427
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 2: Well?

1428
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Probably because the team that showed up that night to

1429
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: play for a title played differently than the team that

1430
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 1: lost to Virginia Tech. Like the old miss team that

1431
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 1: skull drug Georgia that's also the same team that lost

1432
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: to Kentucky.

1433
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 2: Is it not? Yeah?

1434
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 1: Did it matter to Kirby Smart when he went to

1435
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: Oxford and toe to that l Did it matter that

1436
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: Mark Stoops went in there and.

1437
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 2: Got the job done? No, it didn't.

1438
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: To understand how this game worked is not that difficult, guys.

1439
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: You got a lot of moving parts. The ball is

1440
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: shaped very weirdly, it bounces in strange ways. You score

1441
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: in threes and sevens instead of ones. So a couple

1442
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: of mistakes here and there can make a game that

1443
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: was close look very lopsided, or a game that shouldn't

1444
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,640
Speaker 1: have been close look very close. Ole Miss would have

1445
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: worrieds and Folkes, but they're not in so it doesn't matter.
