1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Monday Dan and the 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: dan 's Dan Patrick Show. Doctor Rick Neuheisel College football 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: a list. He'll join us coming up here shortly. Sunday 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: Night Football. It'll be justin Jefferson and the Vikings against 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Dak and the Cowboys. That'll be at seven Eastern, non 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: NBC and Peacock. I mentioned with the NFL, it was 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: more about the teams that lost over the weekend. Certainly 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: the Colts losing and losing their quarterback. Chiefs lose last night, 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: Bengals lose in Buffalo, the Buccaneers lost at home, the 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: Ravens lost at home as well. You know, the Bears 12 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: had the best record in the NFC. They ended up 13 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: losing to Green Bay. And Green Bay is kind of 14 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: quietly becoming a very good team, if not great team. 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: And you know, I think we focus usually on the 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: offense and Jordan Love and is Jordan Love holding them back? 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: And the defense is playing well. But that's a big 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: You know that you're at home, Yes you're supposed to win, 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: it's against the Bears, and you end up winning. Because 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: when we look back on this season, there's going to 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: be a couple of teams where you're going to single 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: out one game, maybe two games, where you go, how 23 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: did you lose to them? Take care of the business 24 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: that's in front of you, and then you hope that 25 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: you're going to be able to get into the postseason. 26 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: You know the Steelers. Steelers aren't great, They're a little 27 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: better than average, it feels like, but that's a desperate 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: Ravens team. You're at home. You got to win that game. 29 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: You have to win that game. And what I have 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: given Isaiah likely a touchdown. I would have because it 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: felt like it was one step, two steps control of 32 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: the ball. Football moved to keep the ball away from 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: the defender and they decided to overturn that. But as 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said, maybe this will keep us idiots in 35 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: the media off Mike Tomlin for a week, maybe nationally 36 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: not locally. It'll be like, ruggled. We maybe shouldn't have 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: won that game, but that's a big win. But it 38 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: sounded like the Ravens are out of it in that division. 39 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: They're still in it. You went too in a row. 40 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: Did you see Ben Johnson, the Bear's head coach, and 41 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: Matt leafleour at the end of the game with their handshake. 42 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Frosty is the word that I would use. Keep in mind, 43 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: when Ben Johnson was sworn in as the Bear's head coach, 44 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: he was like, oh yeah, I always like beating the 45 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: Packers twice a year. That was when he was an 46 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: assistant coach in Detroit. Well, now you're the head coach here, 47 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: And I think that's why it was a little bit 48 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: of a frosty handshake at the end of the game. 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: And they play each other in two weeks. But I 50 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: was kind of surprised that when Ben got sworn in. 51 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, he's buying into that rivalry. Now 52 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: you've got to go out there and win. 53 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Paul, that barely counts as a postgame handshake. They 54 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: didn't even break stride or slow down. It was like, 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: in real time, a grab and go and they didn't 56 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: even give the good game turn in you just throw away. 57 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: I did like it, though, yes, because you know it 58 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: feels like, hey, everybody loves everybody. Every quarterback loves every quarterback, 59 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: every coach loves every that's not the keys. But I 60 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: like it when you don't like each other. I like 61 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: it when there's a little bit of a frosty nature 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: added to that. Packers' next game in Denver. In Denver, Nah, 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: that's what I want to see Jordan Love against that 64 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: Broncos defense. Is that Broncos defense. I think they're up 65 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: to like fifty five sacks something like that. This year. 66 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: They've been great, and they roughed up the Raiders yesterday 67 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: as well. All right, eight seven seven three DP show 68 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: more phone calls best and worst to the weekend, uh Seaton, 69 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: You got a poll question for the final hour, and 70 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: then we will talk to Rick Newheisel. 71 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, we got three of them up there right now. 72 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: Notre Dame either your options are got hosed, will change 73 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 3: the playoffs as being petty or all of the above? 74 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: Right now, being petty has about thirty six percent, followed 75 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: by all of the above, which is thirty four. We 76 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: also have up there the Chiefs playoff chances are dead, 77 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: on life support or alive, and well fifty four percent 78 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: of the audience have them as dead. And the worst 79 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: loss this weekend Bucks, Chiefs, Colts, Ravens. It's in that order. Actually, 80 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 3: Bucks and Chiefs almost tied for the top. 81 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: Fritchie just reminded me The late field goal by the 82 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: Raiders put the game total over by a half. The 83 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: total was forty and a half. The field goal got 84 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: it to forty one, and the points spread was seven 85 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: and a half. They were down ten, they kick a 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: field goal and they lose by seven. This is where 87 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: Todd comes in. He goes, how did they do that? 88 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 4: Oh? 89 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: How did I do that? 90 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 5: Crazy? 91 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: Well, it's their job, Todd. 92 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 6: The last second, meaningless field goal somehow gets involved with. 93 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: I just can't. This is what they do. They have 94 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: to do this so they can make money. New Heisel 95 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: college football analyst works for CBS, joining us on the program. 96 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: All right, do we talk about what the committee got 97 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: right or what the committee got wrong? 98 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 7: I think the answer is we're all kind of lost 99 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 7: in a world that for six weeks we were told 100 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 7: that Notre Dame was better than Miami. We all made 101 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 7: our proclamations about how that game went on the field 102 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 7: to play in week one, but to do it for 103 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 7: six weeks and then choose the week after neither one played, 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 7: to make the adjustment. That to me is time for 105 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 7: a change. And I don't blame anybody, but all of 106 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 7: a sudden, you've teased Notre Dame for too long to 107 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 7: do this to them, And I see now they're taking 108 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 7: their ball and going home. They're not going to play 109 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 7: in a bowl game. This is bad for college football. 110 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: Well what do you make of that decision to not 111 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: play in the bowl game against BYU. 112 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 5: I think it's a sign of the times. 113 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 7: We saw Iowa State, we saw Kansas State also make 114 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 7: similar decisions. Obviously coaching changes there as part of it. 115 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 7: But I think bowl games are going to end up 116 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 7: being the first game of the year. Dan, I think 117 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 7: we're going to see a bunch of these bulls go 118 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 7: by way of the whales. And I also think the 119 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 7: college football playoff is going to go. As they extended 120 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 7: that deadline to January twenty third, I think we're going 121 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 7: to go right past sixteen all the way to twenty four. 122 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute, we're going to get rid of 123 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: bowl games. What do you mean by bowl games will 124 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: be the first game of the year. 125 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 7: I think we're going to have a hard time talking 126 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 7: a bunch of teams into playing in the postseason. Maybe 127 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 7: I'm wrong, and I hope I am, because I remember 128 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 7: vividly how much I enjoyed them both as a player, 129 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 7: and as coach. But I just think in this day 130 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 7: of transaction football, where people are coming and going, that 131 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 7: there are going to be a lot of teams and 132 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 7: we're going to see a lot of players that aren't 133 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 7: going to participate, and I think that's a shame. So 134 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 7: I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of these 135 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 7: bowl games get moved to the front end of a 136 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 7: college football season. 137 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: Does Alabama deserve to be in not? 138 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 7: Based on the eye test? They were not themselves. Give 139 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 7: Georgia a lot of credit for that, but that was 140 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 7: not a good looking football team. And you know those 141 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 7: two conference championship games, the Acid excuse me, the SEC 142 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 7: and the Big Ten. For there to be that little 143 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 7: movement in the CFP rankings meant that they were basically 144 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 7: not important enough to make changes. 145 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: That to me signals of time. 146 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 7: We're going to change those out, We're not going to 147 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 7: have those, We're going to end up having play in 148 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 7: games to replace the money. 149 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering about these weekly ranking shows that ESPN 150 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: has right, and I think it puts the College Football 151 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: Committee in a really precarious position because they have to 152 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: explain themselves and they don't do a very good job 153 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: explaining themselves. 154 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 7: No they don't, and the poor communicator in this case, 155 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 7: Hunter Yrchek, the CFP chairman, has to try to make 156 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 7: sense of things. And I mean, for the for six weeks, 157 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 7: you basically said that Miami is not as good as 158 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 7: Notre Dame because Notre Dame's on this fabulous run. Notre 159 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 7: Dame finishes the run, Miami finishes the season, and. 160 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 5: Then you flip them. 161 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 7: Uh. It brings into question all sorts of things, which 162 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 7: isn't fair to the committee, but ultimately they have to answer. 163 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 7: So these shows to me ought to be one show, 164 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 7: the last one. And I understand how television works. We 165 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 7: like our cake and eat it too. We like people's 166 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 7: eyeballs and commercials and all that stuff. But that was 167 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 7: that was difficult. I knew the committee was in trouble 168 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 7: when bou Corrigan, as the committee chaired, Dan said, as 169 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 7: you know, we like wins and we value wins. When 170 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 7: he came up with that, Pearl, I said, now that's 171 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 7: common sense. 172 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: He's Rick new Heisl, CBS college football analyst, former college 173 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: football head coach. If I would have told you five 174 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: months ago, Indiana is going to be undefeated, number one 175 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: team in the country and they're going to have the 176 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner and Notre Dame is not going to 177 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. 178 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 7: You would have said, where's the statue of Signetti? The 179 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 7: guy has pulled a rabbit out of his hat. 180 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: Is there anything that's comparable to what he's accomplished, because 181 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: I do think it's being underrated what he did growing 182 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: up in the Midwest, knowing what Indiana football was and 183 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: they want to be a basketball school and what he's 184 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: done in two years time is working. 185 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we're working so hard to figure out 186 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 7: how it could have happened. And obviously with a transfer 187 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 7: poral in his experience at James Madison and a lot 188 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 7: of really good players, the sarat kid and others that 189 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 7: came with him from James Madison. But at the end 190 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 7: of the day, let's just stop and admire the work done. 191 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 7: It is phenomenal. It is out of this world. This 192 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 7: is a program that was the losingest program in all 193 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 7: of college football. No one had lost more games, and 194 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 7: for them to go and have this run that they 195 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 7: have enjoyed eleven and two last year and now sitting 196 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 7: there at thirteen and zero and the number one team 197 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 7: in the land going to a Rose Bowl. If you're 198 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 7: a Hoosier fan, you're going just don't wake me up. 199 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 7: Just keep this thing rolling. And now you know we're 200 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 7: going to be listening to Abba played Fernando for on 201 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 7: and on and on. 202 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: How many teams can win the title? 203 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 5: I think seven. I think I like maybe maybe eight. 204 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 7: I think the top seven teams are all absolutely good 205 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 7: enough to do it. And as we saw over the weekend, 206 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 7: defense plays right that those were games I think all 207 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 7: went under. So if you have the top seven, and 208 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 7: I think, if I'm looking, that's the seventh team, I 209 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 7: kind of like Miami. I think Miami is dangerous if 210 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 7: Carson Beck gets on a heater. 211 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: How did Penn State do in the big picture here? 212 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 7: A whole lot of a whole lot of you know, consternation, 213 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 7: and a whole lot of time and money spent to 214 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 7: get the same coach. I mean, Matt Campbell's a fine coach, 215 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 7: but he has no better resume than James Franklin when 216 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 7: he got there, and James Franklin had a great run. 217 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 7: I understand the whiplash of the three games and why 218 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 7: it happened, but Matt Campbell's going to have to go 219 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 7: aways to be better than what James Franklin is And 220 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 7: right now, if you're looking at Virginia Tech and Penn State, 221 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 7: the momentum is clearly with Virginia Tech. 222 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: I was told over the weekend that we're going to 223 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: sixteen teams with the playoff next year. 224 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 7: I think I think, you know, as the old saying goes, 225 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 7: the answers money Now what was the question? 226 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 5: Right? 227 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 7: But but you know, given the noted Aime situation, I 228 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 7: wouldn't be shocked if we go right through it. I 229 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 7: really wouldn't because to get to twenty four. Now you 230 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 7: can start supplanning some of these conference championship games, which 231 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 7: right now after the weekend we saw even with Alabama 232 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 7: looking that terrible, didn't move a spot. Ohio State lost 233 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 7: the game, but is the two seed and nothing really matters. 234 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 7: All they did is risk players. I think we're going 235 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 7: to look for games to supplant those, and in so doing, 236 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 7: we're going to end up at a number that's larger 237 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 7: than sixteen. Why would we stop knowing that we're probably 238 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 7: going to get there anyway? 239 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the conference championships have always been a 240 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: money grab sure, right, that's all. That's why they were 241 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: just like basketball. 242 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 7: Just like basketball, conference tournaments are a money grab. They 243 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 7: don't really mean that much when you're in the power 244 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 7: for structure. 245 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 5: Now for the ACC. 246 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 7: And the Big Twelve, they're important games because loser is out. 247 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 5: Uh and in this game even winner was out. Uh. 248 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 7: I wonder if they might make a deal with the 249 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 7: Notre Dame in the ACC. If the ACC doesn't have 250 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 7: a champion as as Duke was, that Notre Dame can 251 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 7: be their champion. Remember Notre Dame went as there as 252 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 7: an ACC team back in the COVID year. 253 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: Who would you make the commissioner of college football? Oh goodness, 254 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: is there somebody who can do that? 255 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 7: Jobs as big as it is, it's all it is 256 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 7: is given the bad news, right, It's it's the guy 257 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 7: who can come up and tell people, or or the 258 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 7: the woman who can come up and tell people things 259 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 7: that they. 260 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: Don't necessarily do. Exact their commissioner like somebody like Goodell, 261 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: like scheduling. You know he's running or they are running 262 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: everything here. 263 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,599 Speaker 7: I'm available, Dan, I just want to make you you 264 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 7: got a great life. 265 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: You don't want this. 266 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 5: I got, I got my I'm working on my grip. 267 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: Okay, enough people hate you. You don't need more people 268 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: to hate you. It's an excellent point. D It's an 269 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: excellent point. I don't need that nonsense. Thank you, buddy. 270 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. 271 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 7: Jo always wonderful to be with you.

They want to make 280 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: sure that these players are going to play in the 281 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: bowl games. Rick is talk about expanding the playoffs to 282 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: twenty four and I understand you may not like it 283 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: his logic, but I do understand it.

What role do the ACC play in any 303 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: of this in your opinion? 304 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 9: Well, I would tell you, I mean again, I have 305 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 9: tremendous respect for Miami, you know, the great team school, 306 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 9: their athletic director Dan Radikovich is a good friend, and 307 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 9: all the teams in the ACC great wonderful universities. We 308 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 9: have no gripes about any of the schools in the ACC. 309 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 9: But we were mystified by the actions of the conference 310 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 9: to attack you know, their biggest really business partner in 311 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 9: football and a member of their conference in twenty four 312 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 9: of our other sports. And I would tell you, Dan, 313 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 9: I wouldn't be honest with you if I didn't say 314 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 9: that they have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship 315 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 9: between the conference and Notre Dame. What do you mean, 316 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 9: just we didn't appreciate the fact that we were singled 317 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 9: out repeatedly and compared to Miami. 318 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 5: Not by Miami. 319 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 9: Miami has every right to do that, but it raised 320 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 9: a lot of eyebrows here that the conference was taking 321 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 9: shots at us, and you know, that's just not something 322 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 9: we chose to do. 323 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 8: We wouldn't choose to do that in the future. 324 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 9: People might disagree with us, but that's just not something 325 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 9: that we'd be comfortable with. And again, we have no 326 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 9: problem with any of these teams. These are all great teams. 327 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 9: You look at those teams, Miami, like I said, great season, 328 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,479 Speaker 9: they beat us. You think about Alabama, and nobody's had 329 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 9: more success in college football over the last decade than Alabama. 330 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 9: But Dan, you know, I mean, you follow the sport 331 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 9: so closely everybody was saying that we were one of 332 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 9: a handful of teams that could win this whole thing, 333 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 9: and that we have zero percent chance. Even Nick Saban, 334 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 9: you know, nobody knows more about college football maybe in 335 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 9: the history of the world than Nick Saban, you know, 336 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 9: and he said it yesterday, like, how is Notre Dame 337 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 9: not in this? I mean, everybody's just kind of confused 338 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 9: and perplexed, and we don't have good answers for the 339 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 9: kids on our team, for our student athletes. 340 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: Are you going to reevaluate your relationship with the ACC 341 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: the overall relationship. 342 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 8: I would just say it's been strained. 343 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: That is going to go viral there with that comment. Now, 344 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: I did ask Pete to explain the decision name is 345 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: going to sit out their bowl game. 346 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 9: You know, we made the decision not to play in 347 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 9: a bowl game, as I know you're you're well aware, 348 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 9: and a lot of people have asked me about that. 349 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 9: And you know, when Marcus, we watched the presentation show, 350 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 9: the selection show with the team, and then Marcus, like 351 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 9: he always does, was wonderful, got up and for somebody 352 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 9: that always has great answers, he was brutally honest with 353 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 9: the team and said he didn't have a lot of answers. 354 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 9: Doesn't understand how this happened, Why this happened, Why a 355 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 9: team that thought it was doing what it needed to 356 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 9: do all of a sudden kind of woke up on 357 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 9: kind of the wrong side of this. And then just 358 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 9: as you're kind of dealing with that, you start getting 359 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 9: these calls from other bowls. 360 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 8: And you know that the. 361 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 9: Role of a captain on the Notre Dame football team 362 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 9: is a role that that the program and Marcus takes 363 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 9: very very seriously. And he talked to all the captains, 364 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 9: you know, I said, hey, what are you guys thinking, 365 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 9: What's what does the team thinking. 366 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 8: Let's talk about this, And you know. 367 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 9: To a person, the captains and some of the other 368 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 9: you know, underclassmen on the team said, listen, we are 369 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 9: such a close knit team. 370 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 8: We've done so much this season. 371 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 9: We overcame those two opening losses, we rallied, we dominated 372 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 9: in the last ten games. We can't imagine taking the 373 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 9: field not as that team. And it's reality, Dan, you 374 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 9: know that certain players wouldn't participate in that game. You 375 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 9: think about somebody with the future that he has, like 376 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 9: a Jeremiah Love, a Jadarian Price Eli Rared and you 377 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 9: know Emil Wagner, who's one of the most impressive people 378 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 9: I've met in my life, who hopefully after he's done 379 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 9: playing football, I hope he runs for president one day. 380 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 8: It just wouldn't be the same. 381 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 9: And you know, made the decision that it was time 382 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 9: to start thinking about next season. Give these these student 383 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 9: athletes a break. They have exams coming up, and then 384 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 9: you know, really hopefully they'll go home and spend Christmas 385 00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 9: in the holidays with their family. 386 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: And so that's Pete Babakway. He's the athletic director at 387 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. And whether you agree with him or not, 388 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: I wish they would have played in the ball game. 389 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: I do understand what he's saying. If you're not playing 390 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: for anything, then why are you playing in the bowl game, 391 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: Especially if you're Jeremiah Love and you're going to be 392 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: a top fifteen pick and some of these other players 393 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame, why are you playing? This is why 394 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: what Rick Newheiser was saying. If you expanded to twenty 395 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: four schools, now you have and they'll still be playing 396 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,239 Speaker 1: in bowl games, they'll be playoff games. But now all 397 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're relevant now I have more teams, 398 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: more players, and better games. Now, is that too many 399 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: twenty four teams instead of twelve or going to fourteen? 400 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: But this is what Rick Newhaisa was saying. I'm wondering 401 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: if we get to the point where we need to 402 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: schedule bowl games at the beginning of the season to 403 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: ensure that you get a good game site and you're 404 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: going to get players who are going to play. Now, 405 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: you know it's not during the winter time, and a 406 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: lot of these fans want to go to a nice 407 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: place weatherwise. Well, the weather would be nice in September 408 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: everywhere in the country, and then you could get them 409 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: to play in a bowl game as opposed to the 410 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: future of the bowl games might be in jeopardy here. 411 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, Marvin, Yeah, you could do the same thing college 412 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 10: basketball does every single year they have the Preeces Nit 413 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 10: Duke plays North Carolina or Kansas places Michigan State at 414 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 10: the beginning of every single season Madis Square Garden. They 415 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 10: always have a big college basketball game. So you can 416 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 10: kind of do the same thing to make sure you 417 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 10: have a big time matchup and put the name of 418 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 10: the bowl on there. 419 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think college football's changing and what happens. 420 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: It usually takes something that you know calls about change. 421 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: If you believe this call is about change, it's Notre 422 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: Dame and it's a controversy. And I think you can 423 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: actually understand Notre Dame's side of this, just from the 424 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: standpoint of Miami didn't do anything, but they jumped Notre Dame. 425 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: Why wasn't Notre Dame in front of them for the 426 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: last month? Alabama loses and really was never competitive in 427 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: the SEC title game and they don't drop. Why not? 428 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: Because history shows teams that lose in those conference title 429 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: games almost always drop. Twenty out of the last twenty 430 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: two have dropped in the rankings. The only two that 431 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: didn't Alabama. And then I think you can go back 432 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 1: to TCU a couple of years ago. That's it, but 433 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: they didn't drop. I'm going to go back to what 434 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: my source said, and he said it during the week 435 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: it felt like the committee was setting Notre Dame up 436 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: for disappointment. That was the quote, and it stayed with 437 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: me the entire weekend, and when I realized Notre Dame 438 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: wasn't in, it just felt like ACC was against Notre 439 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: Dame and maybe the college Football Playoff Committee to a 440 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: certain degree was but put Miami ahead of them, then 441 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: we don't have that controvert Alabama shoot a drop down. Yes, 442 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: they're in the SEC title game and that's the most 443 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: demanding conference and to do that is quite an accomplishment. 444 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: But you were not competitive in that game. You should 445 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: have dropped at least a little bit there. Yeah, see agree, 446 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: full stop, Paulie. 447 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: You know the other thing you could do if you 448 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: wanted to make a sixteen team playoff, you could remove 449 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 2: the conference championship weekend and make those into a series 450 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: of play in games for the last two spots and 451 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 2: those could be called bowl games or something like that, 452 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 2: because right now the conference playoff weekend is becoming semi relevant, 453 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: but it doesn't really matter in your rankings. You could 454 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: lose and still stay where you are. 455 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 5: Though. 456 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 2: What used to be a great weekend and impactful weekend 457 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: is kind of like high end exhibitions. 458 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 11: Yeah. 459 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: I hate the conference championship games. 460 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 5: I do. 461 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: Some conferences have a conference championship game, some don't. Can 462 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: you schedule another game? You know, Vandy tried to do that. 463 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm curious if Notre Dame tried to do that. It 464 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: just make it all equal. There's millions and millions and 465 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: millions of dollars at stake here. 466 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 3: Yes, all that's really being highlighted, though essentially on an 467 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 3: annual basis, is how stupid this whole setup is. Okay, 468 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 3: the idea that we've just gotten to a point where 469 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 3: you said, you know, I actually hate the conference title games? 470 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: What are we doing? 471 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 6: Oh? 472 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 3: I've hated him for years? What are we doing years? 473 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 3: It is the dumbest thing in the world. But it 474 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 3: generates money, and that's all they care about. That's all 475 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 3: the playoff is about. It's about money. Yes, it's generating money. 476 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 3: It's not no one actually cares who is the real winner. 477 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 3: It's how much money can we make it till we decide, Well, 478 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 3: you're the winner, then okay. 479 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody're gonna get a nice shiny trophy at the 480 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: end of this. But then all these schools are going 481 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: to make millions of dollars because they're in, you know, 482 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs, And you're right. I mean, they went kicking 483 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: and screaming from four to twelve, remember that. 484 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 3: Four to twelve, getting to four and they screened the 485 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 3: entire existence of college football. 486 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: Percy Lean, when I go, wait a minute. When we 487 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: went from two to four, I did say on on 488 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: the radio show, all right, I'm good, like I'm we 489 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: accomplished something. And then all of a sudden it was 490 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: four to twelve, and I go, oh my god, this 491 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: is awesome. I don't want us to go to twenty four, 492 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: but I do want these games to mean something. And 493 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: college football has so many games that don't mean anything. 494 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,479 Speaker 1: But maybe you put a bowl game at the beginning 495 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: of the year. Maybe that's your bowl, your bowl month 496 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: celebrated espnos sell it. 497 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 10: Yes, Marvin, Yeah, the a SEC championship meant nothing. Duke 498 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 10: won great. You want in front of fifteen thousand people, 499 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 10: you won a trophy.

Once again, we're dealing with a fluid topic 665 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: in the college football Playoff committee, So I don't want 666 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: to throw out, you know, possible scenarios here until we 667 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: get to that and it's in the formulative stage of 668 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: this where we're actually trying to do something like this. 669 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to go, well, you could have a 670 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: AQ and then you could have the highest and that, 671 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, then all of a sudden, that's not good radio. 672 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: But I do think if we got to make the 673 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: bowl games mean something, the players will play in those 674 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: Bowl games if it means that they're in the playoffs. 675 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: But I don't even know. The other bowl games won't 676 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: matter for a lot of these kids. I just worry 677 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: that these bowl games will become obsolete. And that's why 678 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: I'm saying, why not do something like college basketball does 679 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: and they have these matchups. It'll be the Big Ten 680 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: in SEC. They'll meet at the Garden, they'll meet in 681 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: random sites. Okay, nothing's really accomplished there. But if it 682 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: means I can have the Rose Bowl and you're gonna 683 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: have Oregon play throw out a team at Miami and 684 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: they're going to play in the Rose Bowl, and that's 685 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl, and you get a good matchup against 686 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: two teams that wouldn't normally play each other. That's what 687 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: we want. We don't want these games where you go, 688 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: who are you playing? You know, we're playing Tennessee Valley 689 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: State University, you know Northeast. It doesn't help now, it 690 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: helps those schools because that's their big payday. But we're 691 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: talking about big boy football here and a lot of 692 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: money at stake, So play quality opponents here, yes, Marvin, Yeah, 693 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: and a lot. 694 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 10: Of those smaller bulls. You can just turn it into 695 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 10: the pop Tart Classic, the Pinstrike Classic. You don't have 696 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 10: to put even a bowl and you just have two 697 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 10: pretty good teams just play each other. 698 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: Let's see Ted and Nevada. 699 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 6: Ted, Hey dad, how are you doing this morning? Pay 700 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 6: quickly with the. 701 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 15: Whole Notre Dame Miami. Does anybody really think that Alabama 702 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 15: with one more loss and neither one of those two 703 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 15: teams should be in the playoffs? I mean, you can 704 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 15: argue all day long who had the better loss, who 705 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 15: had the better schedule, who had it's another loss, one 706 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 15: more than the other two teams? 707 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 5: What is it? 708 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 1: Why are we playing the games? If wins and losses 709 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: don't matter? These are all good topics, they're relevant topics, 710 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: And it becomes we don't know what goes on behind 711 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: those closed doors. I mean, i'd I'd love to make 712 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: it transparent, but it's never gonna happen. But you know, 713 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: you're just trying to understand exactly what is what are 714 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: there formulas for this? Just help us understand that. I mean, 715 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: I don't think any of us have a problem if 716 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: we at least understand what the rules of the game. 717 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: You can't play monopoly, but you're you know, using shoots 718 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: and ladders rules like it doesn't make sense here, and 719 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: it feels like college football is shoots and ladders. It's like, 720 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: wait a minute, how did we end up down there? 721 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: And how did they end up up there?
