1 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: How close are we to the season? I'll tell you 2 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: how close we are. If you're listening on podcasts, you 3 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: hear that sound. If you're watching, you just realize I'm 4 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: needlessly thumping the laptop. 5 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 2: But it's not needless. 6 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: This laptop happens to be the home of an email 7 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: that I just got earlier today from management to some 8 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: degree about booking SEC and Big ten media days travel, 9 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: which means we are ever so close to just being 10 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: able to talk about this great sport of ours on the. 11 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: Field and nothing but on the field. Welcome in, we 12 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: are jam. 13 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: Packed hiatap a stormy at last check downtown Nashville, Tennessee. 14 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: They tell me it's Tuesday, June seventeenth, the year of 15 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: our Lord, twenty twenty five. We are probably brought to 16 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: you by Academy Sports and Outdoors and smells like Big 17 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: Questions Season to me. Smells like Bold Prediction season to me. 18 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: And my nose does not fail me because both of 19 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: those are in the show tonight. We have got a well, 20 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: we've got a classic conundrum on our hands in the 21 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: sport of college football where the parents are fighting, and 22 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: by that I mean mother and father. SEC and Big 23 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: Ten not necessarily in lockstep with how the future of 24 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: the world ought to work. And you hate to see it, 25 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: don't you. Don't you really hate to see it? 26 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: Not so much? 27 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: So I'll talk about that tonight. We have also got 28 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: a storm chasing tale that I'm gonna bring you a 29 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: little bit later in the show because someone asked me 30 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: if a certain had ever happened to me, and it 31 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: jogged my memory. Oh, that thing has happened to me 32 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: in Lewistown, Illinois. No less good people in Lewistown. So 33 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: we got a jam packed show tonight. That's that's how 34 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: thick the piece of paper or the stacks of paper 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: in front of me are. They're watching us in Chula Vista, California, Florianopolis, Brazil. 36 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: There's no way I pronounced it right. There's no way 37 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: I accented it right. But that's the best that West 38 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: Georgia Public Education could do there. Conway, Arkansas, Raleigh, North Carolina. 39 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. And with that, I don't 40 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: have thirty seven other announcements. Let's just dive into the 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: show tonight, shall we. I do want to put this 42 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: piece of paper over here, Okay, I got bad news. 43 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: Parents are fighting. You and I are upstairs. Dear God, 44 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: please make us a bird so we can. 45 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: Fly far, far, far away. 46 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: Why because downstairs they're shouting and there's loud noises, and 47 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: there's stuff shattering against the wall, and mother and father 48 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: are at each other's throats. But we're not supposed to 49 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: know about it. Were the kids upstairs? 50 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: And what do I mean by all that? 51 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: Well, it seems it seems that college football's version of 52 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: this is just the Big ten in the SEC being 53 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: diametrically opposed about which direction the sports you take in 54 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: the future. I'm talking about football, but this may apply 55 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: broader than just the boundaries of football. So this is 56 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: playing out behind the scenes. It's supposed to play out 57 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. They don't necessarily want you to know 58 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: about all this, But it wouldn't be ethical for me 59 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: to have knowledge of such things and keep it from you. 60 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: I mean, after all, who would want that. 61 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: So if you are of the opinion that I am 62 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: an SEC homer, you're in luck, because I'm gonna go 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: against the SEC tonight. If you were of the opinion 64 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: that I'm a Big ten homer, you may be in luck. 65 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: I may also go against them. I find myself surfing 66 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: the fence. I'm not riding the fence. I am surfing 67 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: the fence because I am privy to what the SEC 68 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: wants on multiple fronts, and what the Big ten wants 69 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: on multiple fronts, and I find myself wanting to pick 70 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: some over there and some over here, and I'm guess 71 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm notre Dame. I'm independent. I'm not in any camp 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: right now. So we got two issues. And this is 73 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: not some of the boring courtroom stuff that we have 74 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: chosen to forsake on the show. 75 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: This matters. 76 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: So I don't even care if you're just a casual fan. 77 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: Not the casuals would ever be watching the show. But 78 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: if you know a casual fan out there, if you're 79 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, buddies with the few people you're gonna go 80 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: to work tomorrow and you want to talk about something 81 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: that interests them, this stuff's pretty important about the immediate 82 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: near future of college football. First issue not the biggest, 83 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: I would say, But the first issue is the whole 84 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: matter of the transfer portal. Right now, we have been 85 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: in a world that makes no sense, because we have 86 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: been in a world where you could transfer pretty much 87 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: any time you wanted to. But even if you went 88 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: within the classic construct of the transfer portal window, well, 89 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: what have we had? We have had had the pre 90 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: spring portal window, and then we've had the post spring 91 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: portal window. And what that's looked like is you go 92 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: and you get a guy and he comes in in 93 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: the spring. Oh, that's all well and good, but then 94 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: you go through spring practice and then two of your 95 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: offensive linemen bail afterwards, and you're like, wait, did we 96 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: really just go through all of spring practice and invest 97 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: our time and energy and reps in these guys and 98 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: they're not here anymore and we don't have any recourse left. 99 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: Now. 100 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: We're like, we're right up against the season starting and 101 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: our players just left. 102 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: What do we do? It makes no sense and never did. 103 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: So they're talking about changing this, but and this is 104 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: going to surprise a lot of people, there's not broad 105 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: agreement in the room. The SEC coaches. They are, in 106 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's words, steadfast, they want that thing in January. 107 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: Makes sense. You want it to be in January. Kirby 108 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: Smart speaks every time that we have him on the 109 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: show about this. 110 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: You want it in January. 111 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: Because you want to know who's going to be on 112 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: your team through spring so that you can work through 113 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: spring and develop that football team. And then you also 114 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: want to know that they can't leave you afterwards. If 115 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: they wanted to leave, they needed to do it in January. 116 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: We want to know who our football team is, what 117 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: our football team is, who's on our football team? Crazy concepts, 118 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: I know. We want to know that through spring, coming 119 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: out of spring, summer workouts, going in the fall. It's 120 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: just I remember when we had Kirby on the show 121 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, he said, is this 122 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: so much? 123 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: You just want to know who's on your team? 124 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: He also said there's no crying on the yacht, So 125 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: classic quote after classic quote from the head coach at Georgia. 126 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of merit behind that, all right. 127 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: So that's one school of thought. Then the other school 128 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: of thought is the Big ten school of thought, and 129 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: that is we need to rethink the whole concept. Okay, 130 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: first off, we need to think about the academic calendar. Yes, 131 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: at last check, these dudes are still going to school. 132 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: They may not be there to play school, but they 133 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: are going to school. They're going to class. So we 134 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: want to align it with the academic calendar and Also, 135 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: there's this pesky new concept in the room about the 136 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: revenue sharing era and the salary cap calendar and that thing. 137 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: If you watch NFL, you've been used to worrying about this, 138 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: but in college football, that thing kind of restarts every July. 139 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: And so the Big ten's looking at it and saying, well, 140 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: if we're paying guys, and if we're sharing revenue with them, 141 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: and if you have a hard cap that you can't 142 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: go past, why don't we align the portal more closely 143 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: with that date? And why don't we also align the 144 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: portal dates with the academic calendar. And look, frankly, I 145 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: was talking to an ad earlier today about this. I 146 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: used to be hardcore January portal window, and I may 147 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: still be on that side of the fence, but it's 148 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: only like sixty forty because the further you dive into 149 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: the more Big Ten oriented approach, I think there's a 150 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: lot of merit to it. Anyway, regardless of what I 151 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: think or what you think about it. They disagree, and 152 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: what do we know about this sport? You're not getting 153 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: movement if these two disagree to that extreme of an 154 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: extent on something. 155 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: So that's part one. 156 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: But that's not the big one immunity, that's not the 157 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: one that probably concerns you the most. What probably concerns 158 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: you the most is, hey man, what about the playoff? 159 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: What's going to happen with the playoff? 160 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: And by that not this year but twenty twenty six, 161 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: And be honest, what we're talking about? 162 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: What's going to happen with the playoff? 163 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: You know, there's so much energy that's been expended in 164 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: this conversation about how the Big ten and the SEC 165 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: get to decide the future of the sport that no 166 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: one's stopped to realize. What if they don't agree? Well, friends, 167 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: it seems that they don't agree. Again, you hate to 168 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: see this. You really do hate to see this, especially 169 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: those of us like me who love an expanded playoffs 170 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: so much. We hate to see this. So here's the 171 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: big issue. They both want to expand the playoff. Neither 172 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: of them agrees on how they want to expand the playoff. Now, 173 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: let me set it up for you, and then I'm 174 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: gonna show you something from Ross Dellinger earlier today. And 175 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: I really really let me wipe the smile from my 176 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: face because I'm not joking about this. 177 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: I really hope you're paying attention to it. I really do. 178 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: Before you decide which proposal, which format that you want 179 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: to cheer for and advocate for, man, I'm going to 180 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: use this platform as much as I can to warn 181 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: you about one of them. So anyway, the Big ten 182 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: wants the AQ model. That's the model where you've got 183 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: the four guaranteed for them and the four guarantee for 184 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: the SEC, the four four, two two one one whatever. 185 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: I am hardcore in favor of that. 186 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: If we're expanding to fourteen or sixteen teams, I could 187 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: not be any more in favor of that as opposed 188 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: to what the SEC is trying to push, and that 189 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: is the five plus eleven model. The five plus eleven model, 190 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: in my humble opinion, would be a disaster. The five 191 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: plus eleven model is I've got the five spots for 192 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: the conference champs and then the other eleven spots are 193 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: just at large spots. Now, back in the day, given 194 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: the ideology I used to partake in, I would be 195 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: a hardcore proponent of the five plus eleven model. 196 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 2: In fact, I would be a. 197 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: Proponent of take the top sixteen no matter what, because 198 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: back in the day, I told you any kind of 199 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: guarantee for anyone's stupid. But that was back when the 200 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: field was four or we thought playoff expansion meant only 201 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: six or eight. Once you get past that, if you're 202 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: going AQ, all you're doing is building a giant safety. 203 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: Or if you're going just at large spots, you're going 204 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: to giant safety. Now that's what you're building under the sport, 205 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: and you're just letting folks know. Go ahead and lose 206 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: a quarter of your games, it doesn't matter, you'll. 207 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: Be in anyway. The SEC wants one of them, the 208 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: Big Ten wants the other one. 209 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: Now I want to warn you because you remember it 210 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: wasn't too long ago. It was just just a few 211 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: weeks ago where everyone was up in arms because the 212 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: SEC and the Big Ten supposedly allegedly reportedly. 213 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 2: They both wanted that AQ format. Remember that, Remember when 214 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: it felt like it was like the Axis of Evil 215 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 2: over here in college football and they're all for guaranteeing 216 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: themselves four spots a piece in the playoff and everyone 217 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: has been out of shape about it. Then the SEC. 218 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: Came out and said, whoa, we don't want that, We 219 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: actually want the five plus eleven model. 220 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: Did you notice how that happened. 221 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: We talked about it on the show once, But were 222 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: you ever curious about why. 223 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: One would want one and the other would want the other? 224 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: With that in mind, as I tell you why I 225 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: think the five plus eleven would be a disaster, I 226 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: just want to remind you of something status quo is 227 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: not going to maintain itself. And I don't mean the 228 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: playoff format. Of course, the playoff format is going to change, 229 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: at least we think it is. We just don't know 230 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: what the format is going to look like. I'm not 231 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: even talking about the playoff format. As you decide which 232 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: of these formats you're a bigger proponent of, you need 233 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,359 Speaker 1: to remember the selection process itself is about to change. 234 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: And if the SEC being in favor of the five 235 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: plus eleven model doesn't already make sense to you, I'm 236 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: about to make it crystal clear why the SEC wants 237 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: the five plus eleven. This is from Ross Dellinger Yahoo 238 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Sports earlier today. I'm going to show you two things. 239 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: I want you to listen very closely. 240 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: Quote Clark. He's talking about Rich Clark and the. 241 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: College Football Playoff staff have spent the last several weeks 242 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: studying ways to create data points to be used in 243 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: playoff selection that are more heavily weighted on a team's 244 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: strength of schedule, even using outside mathematicians and data analysts 245 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: to assist in the endeavor. I've reminded you of this 246 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: a few times. It kind of congruent to all this 247 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: debate happening. They've been working behind the scenes to do 248 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: something that in and of itself I'm a fan of, 249 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: and that is streamlining the way we define strength of 250 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: schedule and strength of record so that we get beyond 251 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: the you are what your record says you are nonsense. 252 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: That is mostly a lie in college football because of 253 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: how different strength of schedules are. Okay, so what Ross 254 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: Dellinger's telling you here is the big boys realize they 255 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: play tougher schedules. Therefore they're more likely to have losses 256 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: on their resume than a team that's pretty good that 257 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: runs through a G five schedule, and they're looking at 258 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: it and saying, we need to be able to better 259 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: define what a ten and two means here versus a 260 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: ten and two there when it comes to playoff selection. 261 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: And on its surface, I got no problem with that, 262 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: but here's what you need to understand that right there 263 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: is the gateway for the SEC in a five plus 264 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: eleven model, getting six, seven, eight teams, getting half the 265 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: field in the playoff in any given year. Because, as 266 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, the SEC already plays a very difficult schedule 267 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: every year. They would move to nine game conference schedules 268 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: in this format, which just means they play another opponent 269 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: in the SEC. Now you think to yourself, well, that 270 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: would hurt them because that means that they add another 271 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: what eight losses. 272 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. 273 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: But here's what you need to understand at lossing and 274 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: to meet as much anymore when they are redefining how 275 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: strength of schedule and strength of record is calculated. Let's 276 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: continue Ross Dellinger Part two, College Football Playoff expansion to 277 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: sixteen may Hinge on the selection criteria change. What he's 278 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: saying is the se In fact, I'll just continue reading. 279 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: He tells you what he's saying, You don't need me, 280 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: he continues. The SEC's move towards an AQ heavy format 281 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: was steymied as pushback from even its coaches shifted the 282 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: league to a format with a bigger at large pool 283 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: if selection criteria is adjusted. Translation, the SEC coaches looked around. 284 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: The secads looked around and said, if we can redefine 285 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: how the playoff committee selects the teams, if we can 286 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: redefine how strength of schedule is calculated, if we can 287 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: crystallize it that the SEC gauntlet is tougher to go 288 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: through and that is mathematically baked in to playoff selection, 289 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: then we'd love the five plus eleven format cause we're 290 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: going to get our conference champion. But do you realize 291 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: how many more SEC teams would litter the top sixteen 292 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: in this in this format. I'm not even against the 293 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: recalibration of the strength of schedule metric per se. I'm 294 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: just warning you, if you were a proponent a five 295 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: plus eleven, you are advocating for a world where the 296 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: SEC is going to nominate the playoff field. Now, if 297 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: you want that, okay, I'm looking at it, and I'm saying, 298 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: first off, one conference is going to have a choke hold, 299 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: a death grip on the amount of teams they put 300 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: in the playoff field. But the second part is, not 301 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: only does that happen, it happens at the expense of 302 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: the regular season, because what kind of urgency do you 303 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: have on games anymore? What kind of urgency do you 304 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: have when you know, I mean s DC team's minimum 305 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: know they can afford to lose three games in that 306 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: format in a matter you remember how big a deal 307 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: your first loss used to feel like. 308 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: The second loss doesn't even feel like that anymore. 309 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: In this kind of format, you know you can still 310 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: afford to lose another one. So I can't overstate enough 311 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: how disastrous to me the five plus eleven model would 312 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: be for competitive balance, but also for the sanctity of 313 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: the regular season, which is really what I care about 314 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: first and foremost, Like I care about the regular season above. 315 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: And beyond the playoff itself. 316 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: So any playoff model I advocate for is gonna be 317 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: one that crystallizes maximum value on the regular season, which is, 318 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: by ten miles, the one that the Big Ten is 319 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: trying to push right now, and that is the AQ format. 320 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: But understand something, like I pointed out the other day, 321 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: we did an entire video on this, so I'm not 322 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: going to re explain everything now, But for everyone who's 323 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: so caught up on how antithetical that is to the 324 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: spirit of competition, it's the conference that's guaranteed a certain 325 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: number of spots. The Big Ten is guaranteed for spots. 326 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: The SEC is guaranteed for spots. No team is guaranteed 327 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: anything until the very end. And by that I mean 328 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: if you're doing it properly the way that I advocated 329 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: for it to be structured, with that first Saturday in 330 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: December being that play in weekend. The number three team 331 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: in the SEC as late as the first week in 332 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: December doesn't even know if they're going. 333 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 2: To make the playoff. 334 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: Only the top two teams in the conferences are guaranteed 335 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: seats at the playoff table. Outside of that, they got 336 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: to earn their way in in the first Saturday in December. 337 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: So you tell me in that five plus eleven model, 338 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: I use Tennessee as just a random example the other day. 339 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: If you're in the second week of November and Tennessee's 340 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: nine to one, they're probably a top five team at 341 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: that point. CC team that late in the year being 342 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: a one loss team is probably a top five, top 343 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: six caliber team. If we're in the five plus eleven model, 344 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: or if we're just taking straight seeding and taking the 345 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: top sixteen, Tennessee knows they can afford to lose two 346 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: games from that point on. They know they're only playing 347 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: for seeding in the AQ model. As much as people 348 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: are so up in arms, oh man, the SEC is guaranteed. 349 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: This guaranteed that. Well, there's an SEC team the first 350 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: week of November that's ranked in the top five, and 351 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: they're not guaranteed anything because if they lose a game 352 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: or two down the stretch, they're out of the conference 353 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: championship game, which means the best they can do is 354 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: be active on that first Saturday in December, play in 355 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: one of the play in games, and if. 356 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: They win it, they're in. If they lose it, they're out. 357 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: So the urgency, even for the best of the teams 358 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: in the best conferences, is maximized through the finish line 359 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: of the regular season. You can either have that or 360 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: you can have the SEC with seventeens. I mean, you 361 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: can have a three loss team bank fourteenth in the 362 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: country and they're in anyway. Why well, because we're just 363 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: we're just taking all the at largest. Great, it should 364 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: tell you something, should tell you something. How steadfastly, the 365 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: SEC all of a sudden decided to get behind this thing. 366 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: Once they realized whoa wait, wait, you mean we can 367 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: expand to sixteen, have a bolt majority of those spots 368 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: be at large spots, and we can change the language 369 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: of the playoff selection criteria. 370 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 2: Sign us up. 371 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd sing the same tune if I were an 372 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: ad or an SEC head coach, but I'm not, so 373 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: I don't have to Academy Sports and Outdoors your one 374 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: stop shop for? Well, what are they not your one 375 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: stop shop for? I don't know, medical supplies? Maybe maybe, 376 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: But if you look, if you look long enough in Academy, 377 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: you'll probably find that too. Academy has been our presenting 378 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: partner for a long time. Academy Sports and Outdoors. It's 379 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: kind of kind of scattered all over the southern footprint, 380 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: but making big inroads up north and me in Academy, 381 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: we've opened several stores in northern markets. Got another, I 382 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: think twenty or so store grand openings coming up. And 383 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: it always excites me when you get a new Academy 384 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: opening up in a market because it's like the what 385 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: a Burger effect, It's like the in and out effect. 386 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: Whenever you find out one of those is opening in 387 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: your area, people embarrass themselves. I mean they snake their 388 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: cars around that thing and look at it, and you say, 389 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: is a two and a half hour wait really worth 390 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: it for Hamburger. To them, it is that's the principle 391 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: of the thing. Well, that's the academy effect, at least 392 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: in my perfect world. That's what it looks like when 393 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: an academy Sports and Outdoors opens up in your neighborhood. 394 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: So you got a lot of the you got a 395 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: lot of the typical outdoor sporting goods plus category filled there. 396 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of stuff you had no clue 397 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: you could get an academy that you get there. I 398 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: was on a campus spring somehow I left a pair 399 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: of shoes at home. 400 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 2: Oh we ain't got shoes at the academy. No big deal. 401 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: And if you can't get their in person, it's a shame. 402 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: But academy dot com is also there for you. We 403 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: appreciate them. They've always had our back. We appreciate them. Sincerely, 404 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: Let's move along. I did ask earlier today, had to cough. 405 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: I asked earlier today for questions. And it's also it's 406 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: also it's just question season, all right, Bradley, here's a 407 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: good endpoint for you. 408 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 2: It's big question season. 409 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: I do this every spring, and here we are at 410 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: spring and I'm asking what are the biggest questions in 411 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: college football in twenty twenty five, And we had a 412 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: really good submission that a lot of us have been 413 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: talking about. David from Athens, Georgia. He said, is the 414 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: era of truly dominant teams over? It may be, It 415 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: may be. It kind of depends on how you define dominant. 416 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: I do think you can do a little mental exercise here. 417 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: So for a long time we were defining this as 418 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: like the Nick Saban Alabama run, the vintage Saban Bama 419 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: teams where their second and sometimes even third strings had 420 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: guys that were future first rounders. You don't see that 421 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: in college football anymore. But they did a lot of 422 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: stuff that you didn't even see during their run elsewhere 423 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: they got beat, but usually when they got beat, it 424 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: was an upset, and it was a really huge deal 425 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: because no one was built like Alabama. So let's do 426 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: ourselves the favor of removing Alabama from the equation. So 427 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: pretend like Nick Saban and Alabama never happened outside of them, 428 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: what did we have. We had Dabbo and Clemson, they 429 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: built a monster in the mid twenty teens. We had 430 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: Kirby go to Georgia, he built a monster. The LSU 431 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen team was insane. I would say the best 432 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: versions of those teams are even hard to touch today 433 00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: from a roster construction standpoint. But it's more obtainedable, I guess, 434 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: than what Saban had built at Alabama, which was kind 435 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: of like a death star that twenty nineteen LSU team. 436 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna see that kind of collection 437 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: of talent either, no matter what the no matter what 438 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: the construct of the sport is, it's tough to assemble 439 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: that kind of talent. But I think the the rankings 440 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: are going to fool you because the way that the 441 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: portal has changed college football now. 442 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: Is such that you know you could you could go. 443 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: The next five years and guarantee me that fill in 444 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: the blank, Penn State, let's just say Penn State, or 445 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: let's use a team, let's say Georgia. You could guarantee 446 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: me Georgia is going to be ranked in the top 447 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: three every year for the next five years. And even then, 448 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if they were dominant because they're just 449 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: competing against other teams in their current era. I don't 450 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: know how how Georgia over the next five years would 451 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: have compared to themselves in twenty twenty one, or compared 452 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: to LSU twenty nineteen or BAMA twenty fifteen, sixteen seventeen. 453 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: My guess is they wouldn't compare all that well. Now, 454 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: the follow up is, you don't have to compare yourselves 455 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: to teams from seven or eight years ago. You're competing against, 456 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, teams that are across from you any given year. 457 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: But I think it's pretty obvious. You could use Georgia 458 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: as an example. Look at what's happened to their twos. 459 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: You've seen this with a couple of other teams too. 460 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: What the Portal does it doesn't so much take your starters, 461 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: It takes your second layer. So at a place like Georgia, 462 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: if a starter gets hurt and you used to have 463 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: a backup that himself would have been starting elsewhere, you're 464 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: going from a one to a three, and that catches 465 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: up to you really really quick, especially at positions like 466 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: the offensive line. It catches up to you really quick. 467 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: So I think the Portal has really shaved the second 468 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: layer out for teams that would have been dominant and 469 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: would have been elite, and instead they're still good, but 470 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: they're a little bit top heavy, and if you start 471 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: shaving via injury or transfer portal departure, you can really 472 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: expose vulnerabilities on those rosters pretty quick. Does it continue, 473 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't know with the new structure of the sport. 474 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. 475 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: I think there's also probably a term that we need 476 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: to start getting used to, the developmental discount. 477 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 2: Effect the DDE. 478 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: If we are in a world where in the revenue 479 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: share model, most teams have the same amount of money 480 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: to spend, look for the places that keep pumping talent 481 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: into the NFL. Look for the places that keep developing 482 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: at the highest level. Could be Georgia, could be Ohio State, 483 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: could be Alabama, could be Texas, could be whoever it is. 484 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: But the places that have a proven, established track record 485 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: of being able to develop. Those are the places where 486 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: a guy would be willing to play for two hundred 487 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: and ten grand over another place that's offering him two 488 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: seventy five because they know, yes, sixty five thousand extra 489 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: dollars I'd love to have in my pocket. But what 490 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: I'd really love to have is this place offering me 491 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: two ten develop me where down the road I'm pocketing 492 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: millions of extra dollars because they developed me and prepared 493 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: me for the NFL better than the program that was offering. 494 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: Me to seventy five would have. 495 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: The developmental discount effect is something that could benefit the 496 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: places that it should benefit, which is the places where 497 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: they're developing football players. I got no problem with that. 498 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: If the sport's working that way, I got no problem 499 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: with it. I think dominant is also. I would define 500 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: it back in the days more to do with just 501 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: a stacking of talent on top of talent on top 502 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: of talent, And these days, I think about windows and 503 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: I think about retention. So Michigan, a couple of years ago, 504 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: the JJ McCarthy team, you got a bunch of guys 505 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: who they could have portaled out of there and probably 506 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: got more money. Someone could have gone in the draft. 507 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: They decided to come back for one more year together. 508 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: They won a title Ohio State Dido. Last year they 509 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: won a title. Penn State's trying this this year, Bama 510 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: is trying this this year. And will those teams be dominant? 511 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 2: I doubt it. 512 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they'll each lose. I'm pretty sure they'll 513 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: each play some close games and depending on which way 514 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: the ball bounces and which way injury luck goes for them. 515 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: That's probably what determines whether they can win a title 516 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: or not. But are they just gonna Are they gonna 517 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: beat people by an average of eighteen and a half 518 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: points per game? 519 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 2: Probably not? So Yeah. 520 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: I think probably we're out of that era with dominant teams. 521 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: But then again, I don't know what. I don't know 522 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: what the revenue sharing era is gonna look like, and 523 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: I also don't know how forcible a lot of these 524 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: rules are. Let's move merrily along. I'm gonna I'm gonna 525 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: pop the top on a greape zva if you don't mind. 526 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: Greg from Omaha, Nebraska, Oh, this is this is a 527 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: question I was looking forward to. 528 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 2: Hold. 529 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: Please, it's been a long time since we brought grape 530 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: zva back onto the show because I thought we were out, 531 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: but we weren't. We found a treasure trove of grape downstairs. 532 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 2: Okay, So. 533 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: Greg from Omaha said, I saw a dude get hit 534 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: by power lines in a tornado yesterday? How common is 535 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: that for you guys when you were chasing I am 536 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: so so glad. Greg asked this question because it jogged 537 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: my memory from just two years ago. I've never told 538 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: this story on the show. Jesse alleges that I told 539 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: him the story, but I have not told the story 540 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: on air. So we're in Lewistown, Illinois, two years ago, 541 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: Greg and I am with friend of the program Frankie, 542 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: who hails from northwest Arkansas. That's as specific as I 543 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: want to be about his location. Got to respect privacy. 544 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: We are coming in behind an EF three tornado. In 545 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: the video that I'm showing you right here, you see 546 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: this car off to the left. 547 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 2: That dude has just. 548 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: Been rolled in this tornado. We don't know what we're 549 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: coming up on, so we had to go check on him. 550 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: But we have come in right. We probably miss this 551 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: tornado by thirty forty five seconds. 552 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: So you see the fresh damage. You see the grain 553 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 2: silos that had just been chewed up by this tornado. 554 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: And that dude right there was okay. He was in shock, 555 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: but he was okay. Car had just rolled in that tornado. 556 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that guy uploaded his video of being 557 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: hit by that tornado on YouTube, and he's a lucky 558 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: guy anyway, So we checked and then we continued on 559 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: and this video is showing you video of us having 560 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: to drive around power lines. Greg, you just talked about this. 561 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: So we're having to drive around power lines. We are 562 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: in search and rescue mode here, So to give you 563 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: an idea, when we're chasing tornadoes, we're doing just that. 564 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 2: We're chasing them. But once we're in the damage. 565 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: Path, if we know houses have been hit, you're done 566 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: chasing and you're trying to make sure people are okay, 567 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: because oftentimes we're there before medical personnel are there. It's 568 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: happened a lot, actually, So there are houses further down 569 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: this road, so we're having to get around. There's a 570 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: freight train off to the right by the way that 571 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: stayed on the tracks. I don't know if you can 572 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: see that, but there are power lines down. We get 573 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: past these poles on the ground and we speed up 574 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: a little bit, probably thirty thirty five miles an hour, 575 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: and we're looking at homes that have been and partially 576 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: hit by this tornado, and we're trying to figure out 577 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: which ones do we need to go and check on 578 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: the people in. As we're doing that, I kid you not, 579 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: we come up on a power line that's not all 580 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: the way down, it's about it's about windshield height and 581 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: it is tensioned stretched across the road, and we hit 582 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: that thing going thirty five miles an hour. We couldn't 583 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: even see it until it was right there, and it 584 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: hits the windshield, goes up over the windshield and rips 585 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: the camper top off the back of our truck. So clean, 586 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: we don't even know it got ripped off. We go 587 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: all the way down the road, we check on the houses. 588 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: No fatalities, by the way, thank goodness. I don't even 589 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: think we found any injuries. We go in a cul 590 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: de sac, we turn around, we're coming back, and right 591 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: before we get back in the truck, Frankie looks it 592 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: and says, where. 593 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: Is my campertop? We know we didn't get hit by 594 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 2: this tornado. 595 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: We know we didn't even deal with any straight line 596 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: wind or like like rear flank down draft. We didn't 597 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: deal with any of that. We came in afterwards it 598 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: was pretty calm. So how did the camper top get 599 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: taken off? And then we realized, do we got like 600 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: JBL clotheslined by a power line? Did it rip it off? 601 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: Sure enough, it's just laying right in the middle of 602 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: the road. When we go back down. So to answer, 603 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: your question, Greg, Yes, yes, we do occasionally have about 604 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: with the power line, and I'm going to spoil the 605 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: ending for you for future reference. The power line wins. 606 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: No one beats the power lines. Electricity is just I 607 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: terrified of lightning, terrified of power lines, which makes you 608 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: wonder why I do that. But yeah, good question and 609 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: the answer is yes, speaking of electricity. Oh, Jimmy. Jimmy's 610 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: next up, He said, Well, CEEJ. Carr's arm take the 611 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: Notre Dame passing attack to a level we haven't seen 612 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: in a while. 613 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 2: Yes, it will. CJ. 614 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: Carr's arm absolutely will take Notre names passing attack to 615 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: a level that you hadn't seen in a while. This 616 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: will be Marcus Freeman's best passing at taxes he's been 617 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. That's what I think we're going to 618 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: see unfold here. 619 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: Now. 620 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: I went back over the three years he's been there, 621 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: and I looked at their passing yards per game, and 622 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: from twenty two to twenty three to twenty four they 623 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: went ninety eight forty ninth, and then there were one 624 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: hundred and first last year and went to the National 625 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: title game. Mind you, So it's not like they need 626 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: to light it up. They don't need to be top 627 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: ten here. But it's important to note they did not 628 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: go to the portal, so they had CJ. 629 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,719 Speaker 2: Carr. They trust CJ. Carr. 630 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: He won the job, he knows the system. It's a 631 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: great environment for him to be in. By that, I 632 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: mean I trust his surroundings. I trusted his offensive coordinator, 633 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: Mike Denbrock. You know, for a guy who was one 634 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: hundred and first in pass yards per game last year, 635 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: let us not forget it wasn't too long ago that 636 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: he was the one pulling the triggers as Jaden Daniels 637 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: won the Heisman down at LSU. Yeah, just in case 638 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: anyone's forgotten who Marcus Freeman went and got as a zociat. 639 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 2: They're probably gonna need to score a little bit more 640 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: this year too. 641 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: I don't think their defense will be quite to the 642 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: level that it was last year. So the other thing 643 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: to remember, much like the theme with Clumson, is this 644 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: wide receiver room will be as good as it's been 645 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: in quite a while. That's my expectation, at least for 646 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Great House is a good wide receiver there. 647 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: They got Faison Malachi Fields is a transfer from Virginia 648 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: that I think is going to be really good for them. 649 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: And the other thing about facing Notre Dame is they 650 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: play Miami early, got a new defensive coordinator there. They 651 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: play Texas A and M early defensive not an overhaul 652 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: happening there, But the A and M faltered badly defensively 653 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: down the stretch last year, and it's been a focal 654 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: point for them to try and get that right. But 655 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at these teams and I'm thinking about defensively, 656 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: what the approach is likely to be when teams play 657 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, knowing they got love in the backfield, the 658 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: approach is probably, if Notre Dame's gonna beat us, let's 659 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: make them beat us throwing the ball. I could see 660 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: a lot of folks thinking that the difference is this year. 661 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: I could see Notre Dame doing it. I could see 662 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: Notre Dame winning games throwing the football. Especially the play 663 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: action game should be pretty lethal with multiple pass catching threats, 664 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: with a workhorse tailback, really a good tailback room, and 665 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:29,240 Speaker 1: a guy in CJ. 666 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 2: Carr that you trust to pull the trigger. 667 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I think about Mike Denbrock watching teams saying, 668 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: you know, figuratively, if you're gonna beat us, you're gonna 669 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 1: beat us throwing the ball, and Mike Denbrock being like, Okay, 670 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: well we'll beach throwing the ball. 671 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Notre Dame will be that way this year. 672 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 1: So if they are to fulfill on that national championship potential, 673 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: they better be that way this year. They're watching us 674 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: in corinth Mississippi Downe a fair amount of storm chasing 675 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: there as well. Mineral Wells, Texas, Manhattan Beach, California. That's 676 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: managed country out in Manhattan Beach. Who appreciate you guys 677 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: watching wherever you are. Our next question in a series 678 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: of what will end up being dozens and dozens of 679 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: big questions, but our next question next question comes from 680 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: Zach Out in Little Rock, Arkansas. He said, on your 681 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: last show, you said twelve teams have a shot in 682 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: the SEC. Who are the biggest wild cards that could 683 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: actually win the conference? 684 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 2: Zack, did I say that that that doesn't sound like me. 685 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: I did say that there are twelve teams from the 686 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: FANDUL Odds perspective that are kind of in a group 687 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: that they could theoretically project to. 688 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 2: Win the secs. Yeah kind of said that. 689 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: So you want wild cards that could win the SEC, Well, 690 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: first off, let's look at the odds, because I'm not 691 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: going to pick teams from like the top five, because 692 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: that defeats the purpose of being a wild card. I think, so, 693 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, Texas, no Georgia, no Alabama, no LSU, no 694 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: Ole miss even like, let's take the those teams. 695 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 2: Let's remove them from the equation. 696 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma is the first team that comes to 697 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,919 Speaker 1: mind because they're all the way down there at plus 698 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred odds, and I legitimately think Oklahoma has 699 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: the team profile to compete for the SEC championship. You know, 700 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: the tough schedule is baked in here. It has to 701 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 1: be baked into the way you talk about them. It's 702 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: baked into their over underwin total, which is six and 703 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: a half. They face from the perspective of odds to 704 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: win the national championship. They face the number one, six, nine, ten, thirteen, seventeen, eighteen, 705 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 1: and twenty six teams in. 706 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 2: The odds to win it all. 707 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: That sounds fun, But if the quarterback position is B 708 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 1: plus or better for them this year, I trust them 709 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: at the skill spots I trust them. 710 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 2: At running back. 711 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: I tentatively trust that the offensive line will be better. 712 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: I trust the defense. Oklahoma is a wildcard team because 713 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: of a lot of that stuff turns from question mark 714 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: to plus. They've got a really good talent roster. They 715 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: could win the league. Texas A and M is also 716 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 1: a team that I would insert here. I've got no 717 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: doubt about Texas A and M's identity. Texas A and 718 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: M is going to be a bowling ball of a 719 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: team this year. That's what they intend to be. The 720 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: ground game should be there. I think you've got an 721 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: improving quarterback there who can hit the deep ball. Hopefully 722 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: the intermediate passing game is upticking, but he himself is 723 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a mobile threat. The defense I 724 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: have to count on elevating, and the profile of that 725 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: team should be that power run game, guy that can 726 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: hit you over the top, play dominant play plus to 727 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: dominant defense. 728 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 2: That should be A and M. 729 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 1: If they are that, then that's a very very hard 730 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: kind of team to beat because they're not doing it 731 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: with backups. They're not doing it with guys that you 732 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: passed on. They've still got a pretty good talent roster there, 733 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 1: and I trust Mike Elico developmentally about as much as 734 00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: anyone in this league. 735 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 2: And they don't have a rough couple of games to 736 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 2: start off. 737 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 1: With all due respect to UTSA, they don't play at 738 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: Notre Name until week three. They don't start conference playing 739 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: til week four, so they got some time to work 740 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: out the kinks. Auburn, ironically, who A and M plays 741 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: week four. I'm gonna do some ifs here that are 742 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: pretty irresponsible. If we go back to last year, if 743 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: Auburn's bounce of ballplays went their way, if the turnover 744 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: rate was a little bit different, I don't say luck, 745 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: because I think that was more than just bad luck 746 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: for Auburn, then they would have been a borderline playoff. 747 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 2: Contending team last year. 748 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: But as we know, those things did not go Auburn's 749 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: way and it was a very bad year last year. 750 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: Recruiting the past three cycles, those classes have been eighteenth, tenth, 751 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: and seventh, so there is really good talent baked into 752 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: this roster. They have a top ten portal class. It 753 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: all comes down to Jackson Arnold. It all comes down 754 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: to whether last year was just an example of oil 755 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 1: and water fit and he comes in and Hugh Freeze 756 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: reminds everyone why he was an Elite eleven MVP, why 757 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: he was a former five star quarterback. And if that's 758 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: the case, then if Auburn's good and Auburn's in the 759 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 1: running for the SEC, they're the kind of team that 760 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: can get there and win it. Plus that is quintessential Auburn. 761 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: Put them on the hot seat be picking him to 762 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: win seven seven and a half games. That's when they win. 763 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: Auburn doesn't win when they got high expectations. They win 764 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: when they got no expectations. So that's kind of this 765 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: year for them. I would put South Carolina in there. 766 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: I would put Missouri in there, but the question was 767 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: teams that are dark horses, kind of wild cards to 768 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: win the league. And I could be wrong here, and 769 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: I give those guys over at South Carolina full permission 770 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 1: to use this internally. I don't want this in any 771 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: hype video that goes public. But I don't know if 772 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: South Carolina. 773 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 2: Can win the SEC. 774 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: At their best. Don't know if they can win the SEC. 775 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if they backfilled it wide receiver good enough. 776 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 1: I don't know what the running back position is there 777 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: because I don't know the situation with whether guys are 778 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: going to be eligible or not. They lost a lot 779 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: of good defensive talent too, so the same thing with Missouri. 780 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: The schedule's favorable if Bopra Beulah pans out at at quarterback. 781 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 1: I really loved the addition they made at running back. 782 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 1: I always love Eli Drinkwitz's teams to be very sneaky good. 783 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 2: Are they good enough to win the league? 784 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: I didn't put him in that classification, So that's why 785 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: I didn't include those as wildcard teams. 786 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 2: I just wanted to be respectful. 787 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: Jesse, is are you actually typing something in the prompter 788 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: right now? 789 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:42,959 Speaker 2: Oh? I did? 790 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: No, I didn't, Yeah, I did, Okay, okay. I thought 791 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: we had breaking news, like I thought we were. I 792 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: thought we had breaking news out of the Middle East 793 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,760 Speaker 1: that Jesse was typing to the prompter. 794 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 2: We don't. 795 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 1: The breaking news was I forgot about Florida. That's that's 796 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: the breaking news. So yes, Florida is also in. It's 797 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: also schedule related. I think Florida would be in the 798 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: top five odds to win the SEC if their schedule 799 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: was a little bit lighter. 800 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 2: I am confident, highly confident. 801 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: If Florida had Missouri schedule, they would be in the 802 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: top five odds to win the SEC, and they wouldn't 803 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: even be in this segment. Wide receiver plus a running game, 804 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 1: plus offensive line plus, there's a lot to like about them. 805 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: DJ Lagway I had in preseason ranked as my number 806 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: one quarterback in the SEC, so I obviously think that 807 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: position is a plus. I think the defensive personnel is 808 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: really good. They've got twenty underclassmen who played two hundred 809 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: plus snaps last year, so they got a lot of 810 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: returning guys who are experienced, and they surged at the 811 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 1: right time at the end of the season last year. 812 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 2: They saved Napier's job. 813 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: Look, I don't think of them as a wildcard so 814 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: much like I'm counting on Florida. 815 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 2: I think they're going to be a really good team 816 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 2: this year. 817 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 1: It's just that the schedule is such that they're over 818 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: under win total seven and a half, so I guess 819 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: they technically classify as a wildcard. I got a coffee 820 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,959 Speaker 1: cup here, but it's just hot water. You can chug 821 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:04,319 Speaker 1: this stuff. 822 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:04,919 Speaker 2: It's luke warm. 823 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: At this point, we have partaken in some highly, highly 824 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: controversial activities on the show. As of late and it's 825 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: just been ranking quarterbacks. We did it with the SEC 826 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: and the Big Ten already and that didn't get us 827 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 1: in enough trouble. So I decided, at the request of 828 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: one of you, to continue this madness and we were 829 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: going to a new conference tonight. So the ACC quarterback 830 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: rankings as I see them, based on my expectations for 831 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: this upcoming year, are as follows. 832 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 2: Cave club Nick. 833 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: I've got number one in this league. That is the 834 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback at Clemson. Big jump last year, so 835 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: we saw from year one to year two he was 836 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: a nineteen touchdown to nine interception guy. He went to 837 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: thirty six and six last year. He's a pretty good 838 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: runner too. I think probably the most underrated part of 839 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,359 Speaker 1: his game is that I thought he played his best 840 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: game against Texas in the playoff last year, so he 841 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,760 Speaker 1: finished strong. Their wide receiver group, which was sorely missing 842 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 1: at Clemson for a little while in the twenty twenties, 843 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 1: is very good this year. And it's not just carried 844 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 1: by one guy. And you've got a guy here in 845 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 1: the biggest year of his career now multiple years in 846 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 1: the system, multiple years under the same coordinator. I think 847 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: k Klubnick is my number one guy at that position 848 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: in this league. He is plus nine hundred to win 849 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: the Heisman, third best odds to win the Heisman this 850 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: year as well. 851 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 2: My number two quarterback in the. 852 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: ACC this year based on expectation is Carson Beck at Miami, 853 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 1: which is not a sentence that I expected to come 854 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: out of my mouth this time last year. In fact, 855 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: if we go back to this time last year, this 856 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: was the guy. He was the preseason favorite to win 857 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: the Heisman. He was the preseason favorite to be a 858 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: top ten draft pick. He wasn't even supposed to be 859 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: playing college football anymore. Instead, they were very up and 860 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: down at Georgia offensively last year. Now, candidly, I think 861 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: a lot of the fault, a lot of the blame, 862 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 1: a lot of the lack of a better term, stink 863 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 1: of Georgia's offense last year is being carried by Carson Beck, 864 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: and they couldn't run the ball last year, and that 865 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: offensive line was very inconsistent last year, and that didn't. 866 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,720 Speaker 2: Have a whole lot to do with him, but yet 867 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 2: he was. 868 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: Inconsistent and they were inconsistent because of that. Anyway, he's 869 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: at Miami now. 870 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 2: Now if it. 871 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: Really is such that Carson Beck's game has just fallen off, 872 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 1: or he was overrated, Well we'll know this year. Or 873 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: maybe his injury isn't fully healed. That could also be 874 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,240 Speaker 1: the case. I can tell you what Miami thinks. Miami 875 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: thinks they got themselves a really good player here. 876 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 2: Miami. 877 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: Also, I don't know that they're wrong. Kind of low 878 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 1: key loves the headspace that he's in right now. And 879 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 1: this is going to be viewed as a wild card nationally, 880 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: but I'm telling you internally at Miami, they look at 881 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 1: some of the off the field stuff that's happened in 882 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: his personal life, and while it may be viewed as 883 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: a negative, what it has provided is clarity for him 884 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: all the more time to focus on football. There are 885 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: a lot of folks who doubt him. There are a 886 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,719 Speaker 1: lot of people who take all the blame from last 887 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 1: year's shortcomings at Georgia and they toss it on his shoulders. 888 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: Why because it's easy to do, and I think the 889 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,280 Speaker 1: guy's got a lot to prove. There's certainly no comparison 890 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: to cam Ward here, except for cam Ward came to 891 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: Miami last year with a lot to prove. Well, Carson 892 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: Beck comes to Miami with a lot to prove and 893 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: good talent now a good talent profile, playing under perhaps 894 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: the best coordinator in the league in Shannon Dawson, and 895 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: also in a situation where you got good players around you. 896 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: Unproven but good players around you. I think Carson Bett's 897 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: gonna have a good year, so I would put him 898 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: number two. I would put Haines King at Georgia Tech 899 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,840 Speaker 1: as my number three quarterback in terms of expectation in 900 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: league this year. There's not a lot of mystery about him. 901 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 1: You know Haines King's game. He feels like he's been 902 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,879 Speaker 1: around nineteen years, So what's won more. Not gonna put 903 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: up the passing numbers that the previous two guys are, 904 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: but he makes up for it. Number one and just 905 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: competitive spirit. Number two. 906 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,760 Speaker 2: He's a very very good runner. He's a very plus runner. 907 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 2: Go back and. 908 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 1: Watch his effort against Georgia last year they played that 909 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: multi overtime game. I remember coming away from that game 910 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, it is such a shame that kid 911 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: lost that game or he had to be on the 912 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: losing side of that game. He is a high percentage 913 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: Guy's third and fbs and completion percentage last year. He 914 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: ran for ninety plus yards in three of their last 915 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 1: four regular season games. And what I love is the 916 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,400 Speaker 1: way his competitive character sort of blends with the overall 917 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,280 Speaker 1: style of team that Brent Key has. I think Hayes 918 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,359 Speaker 1: King's gonna have a good year this year. I think, 919 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 1: partly because of him, they will be a surprise contender 920 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: in the conference title race. 921 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 2: I've got him there. 922 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: It will not surprise me if and when Georgia Tech's there, 923 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: but I think it will surprise some people. Number four 924 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,399 Speaker 1: and I'm doing ret lastly a huge favor by waiting 925 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: until number four to list Kevin Jennings. But I'm putting 926 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: Kevin Jennings number four in my ACC quarterback rankings. Three 927 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 1: thousand yards last year, sixty five percent completion percentage. It's 928 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,320 Speaker 1: there were some big moments last year, namely the playoff 929 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,240 Speaker 1: game where there were interceptions. They were an issue against 930 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 1: Penn State. That Duke game last year. It's a miracle 931 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 1: they won that game, but he had multiple I iNTS 932 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: in that game as well. Those were some of the downsides. 933 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: But it's his team now. This time last year, we 934 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 1: thought it was Preston Stone's team. So it's his team. Now, 935 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 1: I think that means a lot. I think the confidence 936 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 1: of having done it last year means a lot. I 937 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: think this is a guy also that although he got 938 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,959 Speaker 1: a lot of accolades last year, with the way it ended, 939 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: he still has a lot to prove. Lost in that 940 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: ACC championship game. There's a lot still to prove here, 941 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: and so I'd put him at number four, number five. 942 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: We debated for a little while, but I'm telling you 943 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 1: who it is. For me, Miller Moss is my number 944 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 1: five ACC quarterback. In terms of expectation, I blindly trust 945 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: Jeff brom with quarterbacks. I also think that, much like 946 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: Carson Beck, a lot of the shortcomings last year at 947 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: USC were just disproportionately thrown on his plate. And I 948 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 1: think about the lack of protection he had sometimes, the 949 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: lack of a ground game he had, the fact that 950 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 1: they had to score forty every game because defense wasn't 951 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:37,799 Speaker 1: all that great. 952 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 2: There were flashes last year that I don't forget. 953 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 1: Like I don't forget some of the plays he made 954 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 1: against Michigan on the road. I don't forget the way 955 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 1: he played against LSU in Week one. 956 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 2: Just go back and watch that game. 957 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 1: That is in him, and so if it's in him 958 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: and it just needs to be pulled out more consistently, 959 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: I trust Jeff brom to do that. He threw for 960 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 1: two eighty or more half a dozen times last year. 961 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 1: And let's just remember if this time last year I 962 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 1: told you Tyler Schuck was about to go in the 963 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: top forty or so of the NFL draft, you would 964 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 1: have laughed me out of the building. 965 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 2: But yet he did. It was Jeff. 966 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 1: Brahm who pulled that out of him. You got to 967 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: have a willing player who's capable. But I think Miller 968 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: Moss is in a really good position. Nineteenth best odds 969 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: to win the Heisman. I'm not gonna go as far 970 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,879 Speaker 1: as to say I bet it, but I will say 971 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 1: I won't laugh at you if you bet it. 972 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 2: So there you go. Top five acc quarterbacks. Zero debate, whatsoever? 973 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: Not about that? About the thing I'm gonna say next, 974 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,799 Speaker 1: zero debate. Quick Trip is the place to be. I 975 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: had a proud moment the other day. There's nothing like 976 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 1: being recognized in public adequick trip.

What a partner 1000 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: they've been, What a commitment.

We should 1002 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: probably play that video again sometimes for our new viewers, 1003 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,280 Speaker 1: because that was a you want to talk about National 1004 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,240 Speaker 1: Signing Day drama, recruiting wars. 1005 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:08,920 Speaker 2: This time last year, we're all the rage we had 1006 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 2: a question. 1007 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 1: I normally wouldn't answer questions like this, but you know what, 1008 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,880 Speaker 1: I took it as a personal challenge. 1009 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,239 Speaker 2: So let me take a little sip of the water here. 1010 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 2: For some reason, the. 1011 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 1: Voice has been weakness. I don't know what's happening, and 1012 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 1: we'll make it though. Jeff from up in Seattle, he 1013 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 1: hit me. He said, who would be on your preseason 1014 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 1: All Transfer team on offense? In terms of who will 1015 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,760 Speaker 1: have the biggest impact? These questions normally take too much work, Jeff. 1016 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 1: I normally just like to add lib the answer really quick, 1017 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: but I took it upon myself to fill my team 1018 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: out here. So at quarterback on the All Transfer Impact Team, 1019 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,359 Speaker 1: John Matteir at Oklahoma is certainly here. Oklahoma was one 1020 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,919 Speaker 1: hundred and nineteenth in pass yards per game last year, 1021 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: they were ninety seventh and points per game offensively. Yes, yes, 1022 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: we need help, John, We need help, and they'll get it. 1023 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:01,879 Speaker 2: They'll get it from him. 1024 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,919 Speaker 1: I also was just talking about Carson Beck a little 1025 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 1: while ago, so I'm not going to repeat everything I said, 1026 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: but backfilling cam Ward. If the help is good there, 1027 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: if he's focused, and I think he will be. I 1028 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 1: think these answers will be yes. I think John Mattier, 1029 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,759 Speaker 1: Carson Beck, Darien Mensa at Duke I could have gone 1030 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 1: him as well, but those would be the quarterbacks at 1031 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver Casey Concepcion at Texas A and M. 1032 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 2: By way of NC. 1033 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:31,479 Speaker 1: State, he had or they had at A and M 1034 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy four yards from the wide receiver 1035 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: one spot last year. 1036 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 2: He could double that. He has the ability to double that. Now. 1037 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: Their style of offense this year may be such that 1038 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: they don't have a thousand yard receiver, but if they do, 1039 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 1: he's capable of being that. I also think at Georgia, 1040 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: Zachariah Branch coming there from USC extremely fast player if 1041 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,399 Speaker 1: they use him right all right now, I can get 1042 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,799 Speaker 1: a lot of pushback on Georgia mess boards for this 1043 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 1: because they're not the biggest fans of Mike Bobo. But 1044 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: if Mike Bobo uses him right, then he's touching the 1045 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 1: ball a lot every game, and that speed is a 1046 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: difference maker every game, and special teams also is a 1047 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,360 Speaker 1: place I could see him shining. So I think Zachariah 1048 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,839 Speaker 1: Branch at Georgia is a difference maker if you used 1049 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 1: the right way I think Deuce Robinson at Florida State, 1050 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: by way of USC is a difference maker if used 1051 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 1: the right way. I think Florida State's losing either their 1052 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: their top wide receiver or their top two wide receivers. 1053 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 1: It was a bad team last year, so I'm not 1054 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,839 Speaker 1: sure losing guys from that team is necessarily a terrible thing. 1055 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 1: But this cat is six six two twenty jesse. Wasn't 1056 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,120 Speaker 1: he the guy when we went out to Elite eleven 1057 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 1: a few years ago and they had wide receivers just 1058 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 1: catching balls from the quarterbacks. Deuce Robinson was on the 1059 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 1: field and you got the best quarterbacks in the country 1060 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 1: out there. 1061 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 2: I think Bryce Young. 1062 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,840 Speaker 1: Was out there, like a lot of college guys were 1063 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,240 Speaker 1: out there, and I'm looking over at this wide receivers 1064 00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 1: and who is that us Deuce Robinson here to catch balls. 1065 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,359 Speaker 1: I think he'll do that a lot at Florida State 1066 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: this year as well. All Right, the running back position 1067 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: on my All Transfer Impact team a mad hardy at Missouri. 1068 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:11,759 Speaker 2: Learn the name. 1069 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: People I know goodwell, you didn't watch a lot of 1070 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 1: ULM last year, but this cat ran for through thirteen 1071 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:20,240 Speaker 1: hundred yards thirteen touchdowns as a true freshman and Eli 1072 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,799 Speaker 1: Drinkwitz goes, yes please, and he comes to Missouri. They 1073 00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: got Bo Pribula at the quarterback position. This guy thirteen 1074 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 1: hundred yards last year. I will bet he tops that 1075 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: this year. I think he's going to have a really, 1076 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,279 Speaker 1: really big year. Obviously, I think that if I say that, 1077 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 1: good offensive line around him, a good quarterback that can 1078 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: run as well, so he's not gonna have to do 1079 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,320 Speaker 1: it all by himself. So I'm gonna go a mod hardy. 1080 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 1: I would also go Justice Haynes at Michigan. At Alabama. 1081 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: I thought this dude would break out last year. He's okay, 1082 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,720 Speaker 1: but I think he's better than just an okay talent. 1083 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know what it was about Bama's ground 1084 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 1: game last year that was sort of dead on arrival, 1085 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: but Justice Haynes feels perfectly cut out to be Michigan's 1086 00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,399 Speaker 1: work horse tailback and they will lean on him. 1087 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,839 Speaker 2: I think he's able to be leaned on. I think 1088 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 2: he's a guy who if used the right way. 1089 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what that really means, because it's not 1090 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: like they didn't hand him the ball last year, but 1091 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot more in the tank 1092 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: than we've seen from him, and I think Michigan will 1093 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:24,760 Speaker 1: get it out of him, So I'll put Justice Haynes 1094 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 1: there at tailback tight end. Jack injuries at Texas, I 1095 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 1: could have gone with here, Okay, I want to have 1096 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,319 Speaker 1: him mentioned because he's not my guy. I'm gonna go 1097 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 1: with I'm gonna go with Max Claire, who's going from 1098 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 1: Purdue to Ohio State six four to two twenty. He 1099 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,359 Speaker 1: had six hundred and eighty five receiving yards last year. 1100 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,280 Speaker 1: That was more than Produce's top two receivers combined. Granted, 1101 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of bright spot on the Purdue 1102 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 1: Christmas tree last year, but he was the star on 1103 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 1: top of a dead tree of what vivid metaphorical speaking, 1104 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: by the way, more catches and yards than produced top 1105 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 1: two receivers combined. 1106 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,759 Speaker 2: Anyway, he don't have to worry about that. 1107 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,840 Speaker 1: On Ohio State's team, there is no shortage of wide 1108 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,439 Speaker 1: receiver talent to throw the ball to, and I think 1109 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 1: he'll just blend right in number one ranked tight end 1110 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: in the portal. 1111 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 2: No shock, Ohio State was. 1112 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,320 Speaker 1: Able to go get him at the offensive line spots. 1113 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 1: I put three names down here. Xavier Chaplin went from 1114 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech to Auburn six seven, three point thirty eight. 1115 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 1: Just looks like a monster. He's on a lot of 1116 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,439 Speaker 1: mock drafts already. He'll be a plug and play guy. 1117 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 2: I think he'll be a big time offensive lineman. But 1118 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:42,800 Speaker 2: at Oregon. 1119 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Oregon went and got Isaiah World from Nevada 1120 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,279 Speaker 1: at o tach at ot. They went and got em 1121 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 1: Manuel pregnant interior guy from USC. Both of those better workout. 1122 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: They expect both of them to work out. Those guys 1123 00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: you're looking at two names if you're looking for Washington 1124 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 1: on YouTube. Those guys will decide part of the Big 1125 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: Ten championship race. They'll decide part of the playoff picture. 1126 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,280 Speaker 1: Because those guys don't pan out, Oregon's losing some games 1127 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: this year. 1128 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 2: Those guys have to work out, and I think they will. 1129 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think they were just blindly rolling 1130 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 2: the dice when they went and got those guys. 1131 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Got a couple of more 1132 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: things we need to get to. Of course, of course, 1133 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 1: as you Bradley punching those punching those buttons pretty quick 1134 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 1: in there. It's bold prediction season. What do you believe 1135 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 1: not internally. What do you believe enough to be willing 1136 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 1: to say it, you know, out loud for the world 1137 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 1: to see. What are you willing to predict that we 1138 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,960 Speaker 1: could come back to and castigate you for, and make 1139 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 1: fun of you for, and drag you for. In December, 1140 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 1: James pattis part of the weather community here in the 1141 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: Tennessee in. 1142 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 2: The greater Nashville area. 1143 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,680 Speaker 1: He also watches football, and he said Tennessee will finish 1144 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 1: in the bottom four of the SEC this year. Well, 1145 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 1: that's hateful. Now, that is hate speech, and I think 1146 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,919 Speaker 1: it's pretty bold. I think this is a nine point 1147 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,439 Speaker 1: twenty five on the boldness scale. Now understand, I think 1148 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 1: the markets are too high on Tennessee, like I think 1149 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 1: fanduels too high on Tennessee. I already bet the under 1150 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 1: at eight and a half wins, and if they surprised me, 1151 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: they surprised me. I just think there were already a 1152 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: lot of question marks on that team. Then you had 1153 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback thing happen. I think it's a little bit 1154 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: of a rebuild year for Tennessee. So I'm already a 1155 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,959 Speaker 1: little bit down on them, but I'm not this down 1156 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: on them. Arkansas and Mississippi State and Vandy and Kentucky 1157 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 1: like they're in this league. So I don't think Tennessee's 1158 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 1: going bottom four. It's not that bad. Certainly it's not 1159 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: that bad. So I'm gonna go nine point twenty five 1160 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. There next up, very very interesting 1161 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:49,360 Speaker 1: Wayne from Erdenheim, Pennsylvania. Good people there, I'm told he 1162 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: says Penn State rushes for over two hundred yards against 1163 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 1: Ohio State in Columbus. 1164 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,920 Speaker 2: I put this in an eight and a half. This 1165 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 2: actually wouldn't shock me. 1166 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of retooling that Ohio State has to 1167 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 1: do defensively this year. Anyway, Penn State returns four offensive linemen. 1168 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,919 Speaker 1: They got two thousand yard caliber backs. But here's the thing. 1169 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 1: They did this last year against Notre Dame and lost. 1170 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 1: They did this last year against Oregon and lost. Penn 1171 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 1: State could run for over two hundred against Ohio State 1172 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,360 Speaker 1: and lose. Not that that would make the prediction any 1173 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 1: less accurate, but I'm just saying this sounds like it 1174 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 1: correlates with a Penn State win. Maybe it doesn't hurt 1175 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 1: to run for over two hundred, but it doesn't guarantee 1176 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 1: a win. I'm gonna make this an eight point five. 1177 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,360 Speaker 1: They averaged two hundred and two rush yards per game 1178 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: last year. The defensive coordinator that was at Ohio State 1179 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 1: is at Penn State now, So I went and looked 1180 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 1: last four games Penn States had against Ohio State rush 1181 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 1: yards per game one twenty forty nine one to eleven 1182 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 1: thirty three. So they would have to do much better 1183 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: than that obviously. But this is not crazy. It's not 1184 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 1: eight and a half. I think it's about right. It's 1185 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 1: not crazy, but it also didn't guarantee anything. Next up, 1186 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:14,080 Speaker 1: This is from Jeru, probably the right pronunciation in Greer, 1187 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 1: South Carolina. I know I did nail that immunity. ACC 1188 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 1: runner up will not make the playoff this year. This 1189 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 1: almost happened last year. If SMU would have beaten Clemson 1190 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,200 Speaker 1: in the ACC title game, this would. 1191 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 2: Have happened last year. 1192 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 1: The only team at fan duel right now that has 1193 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 1: minus odds that is technically like quote unquote favored to 1194 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,280 Speaker 1: make the playoff is Clemson. So right now, if you 1195 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:44,800 Speaker 1: just strictly looked at the odds market, it's very seeable. 1196 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 2: It's very very possible. 1197 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 1: That the ACC could be a one bid league and 1198 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,880 Speaker 1: you got a small pool of teams. Like in the SEC, 1199 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 1: you got like a dozen teams that can make the 1200 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,640 Speaker 1: playoff or that you could see making the playoffs. 1201 01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 2: In the ACC, who is it. 1202 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 1: It's Clemson, It's Miami, SMU, Georgia Tech, Louisville. 1203 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 2: After that, there's a big drop off. 1204 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,520 Speaker 1: So I'm not saying that, you know, like Virginia Tech 1205 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:10,440 Speaker 1: couldn't make it, but it would be a big surprise 1206 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 1: if they did. I'm gonna put an eight point seventy 1207 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 1: five on this. A lot of it has to do 1208 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: with how. 1209 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:16,400 Speaker 2: The Big Twelve looks. 1210 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,480 Speaker 1: So if the Big Twelve is a one bid league, 1211 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 1: then obviously the ACC's probably sending more than one team. Lastly, 1212 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 1: here speaking of the Big Twelve, Kurt from Rexburg, Idaho 1213 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,680 Speaker 1: hit me. He said, three Big Twelve teams make the playoffs, 1214 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 1: and none of them will be Arizona State. I just 1215 01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 1: want to know how in the world this happens. This 1216 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,439 Speaker 1: is a ten. If you just told me two Big 1217 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 1: Twelve teams make it and neither of them are Arizona State, 1218 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,040 Speaker 1: this would be bold. But three of them, in fact, 1219 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 1: just three teams from the Big Twelve making it is 1220 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 1: already a nine. Point five on the boldness scale, so 1221 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 1: this would be a ten. The best way I figure 1222 01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 1: this is you have to have like a group Kansas State, 1223 01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 1: BYU Texas Tech, Baylor, Iowa State, a combination of those. 1224 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 1: You probably need three teams that are eleven win teams 1225 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,360 Speaker 1: and you know, two of them go on and play 1226 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve title game or whatnot. But you 1227 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 1: probably need that to happen, and a couple of them 1228 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 1: need to have beaten Arizona State in the process. I 1229 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 1: just I think Arizona State is either one of or 1230 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 1: the best team in that conference preseason. 1231 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,480 Speaker 2: You know who knows what injury does, but. 1232 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,480 Speaker 1: You can't forecast that, So maybe that has to happen 1233 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,960 Speaker 1: like morbidly, maybe Arizona State injury luck has to be 1234 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 1: bad for this to happen. 1235 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 2: That's a ten on the boldness scale. You can find 1236 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 2: all those odds at FanDuel. FanDuel is the exclusive odds 1237 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,720 Speaker 2: provider of this show.

John 1280 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 2: for Louisville, Kentucky. 1281 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 1: I had a big time argument with my friend about 1282 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 1: this hypothetical. So you need to break the time who 1283 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 1: wins a national title first, Dan Lanning or Kaylen de 1284 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 1: boor My answer is Kaylen de Bor. I think he'll 1285 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 1: win a national championship first. And then you did you 1286 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,600 Speaker 1: expect me to be so quick with that? Well, maybe 1287 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 1: you should be surprised because normally I beat around the 1288 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: bush and I. 1289 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 2: You know, I hedge my bet. 1290 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 1: There's no way of knowing this. Obviously, there's not a 1291 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 1: whole lot of skill in this. I'll tell you what 1292 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,800 Speaker 1: it comes down to for me. I trust Dan Lanning 1293 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 1: to load his roster every year. I trust Kaylen de 1294 01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Bor to load his roster every year. I trust Dan 1295 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Lanning to be in the Big ten championship race, in 1296 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,560 Speaker 1: the playoff picture every year. I trust Debor to be 1297 01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 1: in the SEC championship picture and the playoff race every year. 1298 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot that I trust both of them to 1299 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 1: be doing in terms of checking these boxes. They're both 1300 01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 1: gonna be players, They're both gonna be in there. 1301 01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 2: Either one of them could win it this year. 1302 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: So if there's a tiebreaker that I need, it's gonna 1303 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:04,479 Speaker 1: be head to head. 1304 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,160 Speaker 2: Have I ever seen him coach against each other? I 1305 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:11,280 Speaker 2: have de Bor's had Landing's number, and in the interest 1306 01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:16,000 Speaker 2: of knowing Dan Lanning like I do. Very unmotivated, low 1307 01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 2: energy guy that Dan Lanning is. 1308 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,919 Speaker 1: I think he needs this, So I'm gonna publicly doubt 1309 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 1: him on the show tonight. I'm gonna say Debor wins 1310 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,320 Speaker 1: a title before him, and then after the show I'm 1311 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 1: probably gonna clip this and text it to him, and 1312 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. 1313 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,480 Speaker 2: You're welcome, have a good summer. 1314 01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,919 Speaker 1: But no, Lie, if you think about this stat here, 1315 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,800 Speaker 1: you want a paper popper of a stat. Not only 1316 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 1: is Dubor three and oh against Landing, he is six 1317 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 1: and oh against Landing. Steve sarkisian and Kirby Smart. Now 1318 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,320 Speaker 1: he does not have Clark Lee's number, but he does 1319 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,280 Speaker 1: have Kirby's number and Sark's number and Dan Lanning's numbers. 1320 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 1: So don't I don't think Vandy's gonna make the playoff, 1321 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,040 Speaker 1: So Bama probably don't have to worry about running in 1322 01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:04,480 Speaker 1: Clark Lee. Brenton Venables tough time beating Brent Venables last year, 1323 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 1: but he's beaten Landing three times. And I remember two 1324 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,480 Speaker 1: years ago, You remember how foolish I was made to look. 1325 01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,640 Speaker 1: I wasn't alone, But remember two years ago I picked 1326 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:18,880 Speaker 1: against Washington like five different times, and they just kept 1327 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 1: winning and kept winning and kept winning. And I remember 1328 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,880 Speaker 1: I went up there when they played Oregon at home. Now, 1329 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,440 Speaker 1: it was a classic game. It was one of the 1330 01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,800 Speaker 1: games of the year. That's when I learned how loud 1331 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,880 Speaker 1: Husky Stadium was, by the way, and they beat Oregon, 1332 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,560 Speaker 1: but they beat him close, just right there at the buzzer, 1333 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,920 Speaker 1: they beat him close. You remember what you said, You 1334 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 1: remember what I said. I don't know if you agreed, 1335 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 1: but I said it. I said, Well, all Organs got 1336 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:44,040 Speaker 1: to do is get to the PAC twelve title game. 1337 01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 2: Rest in peace, old friend. 1338 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 1: All Organs got to do is get to the PAC 1339 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 1: twelve title game, cause that'll be on a neutral field. 1340 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 1: And I still think they're better than Washington, and didn't remember. 1341 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: The entire lead up was I was still putting Oregon 1342 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:02,320 Speaker 1: above Washington, and the JP Vegas kept telling you, if 1343 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,680 Speaker 1: they play again, Oregon's gonna be favored by more than 1344 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Well, they played again, and Oregon was favored 1345 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 1: by I think nine points by the time the game 1346 01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,240 Speaker 1: kicked off. And it didn't matter then either. And not 1347 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 1: only did Washington beat them, they outrushed them, which is 1348 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: a huge surprise to everyone but Washington. So given that, 1349 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 1: I think they're both studs, I think they're both legit. 1350 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,120 Speaker 1: The Boor's got the edge until further notice because he's 1351 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,680 Speaker 1: out coach Landing, So until further notice on the seesaw 1352 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:37,559 Speaker 1: of prediction, I'm going slightlyan Caitlin de Boor because he's 1353 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 1: earned it, because, unlike me two years ago, I have 1354 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,120 Speaker 1: to honor his on the field accomplishments. 1355 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,479 Speaker 2: That was a nightmare for me. That was a nightmare. 1356 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:51,760 Speaker 1: I remember we were staying at the hotel for the 1357 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 1: National title game that a lot of Washington fans were, 1358 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 1: and I mean it had just been like a running 1359 01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,080 Speaker 1: hate fest all year. Every time I pick Washington and 1360 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,080 Speaker 1: to lose and then win, I'd hear about it from 1361 01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:03,760 Speaker 1: their fans and some of their players. 1362 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 2: I was at media day. 1363 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,720 Speaker 1: Some of their players walked up to me, appreciate you 1364 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:08,559 Speaker 1: doubting us all year. 1365 01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 2: Thank you. 1366 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 1: They were nice about it. That was the worst part. 1367 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,240 Speaker 1: I wanted them to trash me, but they were nice 1368 01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,679 Speaker 1: about it. But then I was in the hotel working 1369 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:19,040 Speaker 1: out around a bunch of Washington fans before the game 1370 01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:23,719 Speaker 1: against Michigan, and I had picked Michigan, and I remember thinking, 1371 01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 1: if you guys win this game, I am done. I 1372 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 1: will be banned from the state of Washington. I cannot 1373 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,599 Speaker 1: show my face in Seattle again. And it's a great city. Man, 1374 01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 1: I actually want to go up there again. But finally 1375 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,679 Speaker 1: got one. At the end, picked Michigan to win. Michigan 1376 01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 1: finally won. Curses broken. I don't know how in the 1377 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: world we got to talking about that in relation to 1378 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 1: Bama Oregon.
