Speaker 3: jumping in the chat We had a great turnout over ballers.

15

17

Speaker 1: His name is Dan Rubinstein. Daniel, my man, what is up?

28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: I can hear you? Oh my god, what a technological

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: miracle that we're good to go with this. I love it.

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: I can't wait to do this show. We're doing it

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: all year long, all season long, right, yes, absolutely.

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: For those who are unfamiliar with us, we are the

33
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: Solid Verbal We run a college football podcast. Like Chris

34
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: Fowler at a Rage against the Machine concert. We are

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: in that mosh bit of college football all year long.

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: We do three episodes a week on our podcast and

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: starting today, Dan, as you said, yes, every Thursday, five

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: pm live on Spotify. I'm psyched, man, I'm ready.

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: Let's do it. What are we talking about today? It's Thursday,

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: the Big ten May seven trillion dollars. We have fall camp,

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: we have odds to talk about. We have our own

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: personal feelings about teams we irrationally love. Where are we starting?

43
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: We start with news time. Where are we going?

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: I look today, earlier today on our podcast feed, we

46
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: finished up ten of our preview episodes, the tenth of

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: our preview episodes with the PAC twelve South. So I

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: feel like we are all amp, We're ready, we're psyched,

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: We're ready to do this, and I think we should

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 3: just go ahead and start with news.

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: Heay, what happened? What Freddie Willard?

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: What happened?

53
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: Is that the Big ten God it's billions earlier today

54
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: with a big time media rights deal dan It includes Fox, CBS,

55
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: and NBC.

56
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: It is really the first of.

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: Its kind in a sense, at least in college football,

58
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: in that they're going to be breaking it up. It's

59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: not just going to be with CBS. It's not just

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: going to be with ESPN or one network. Fox is

61
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: going to get games, CBS is going to get after

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 3: noon games. NBC is going to broaden its reach in

63
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: the college football world beyond just its coverage with Notre Dame,

64
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: and they're going to be putting games on primarily in

65
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: prime time. Of course, they're going to stream a little

66
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: bit on Peacock too, because it's just the way of

67
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: the world. But I saw you posted something earlier today

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: on our solid Verbal Twitter account which I thought was interesting,

69
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: And the question that you raised was how many billions

70
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: do we need to be talking here before it's kosher

71
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 3: to start paying players, just straight up paying?

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: Is that number?

73
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: So much money is involved? Right?

74
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? What is that number? More importantly, when and I

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: know Gary Danielson and Brad Neesler are calling the CBS

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: the Big CBS game, right we have Joel Klatt and

77
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: Gus calling the Fox game. How many kids does Chris

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: collins Worth have available to call games for NBC? He had,

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: didn't he have another kid who played for Notre Dame

80
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: at least for a little while.

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh Awestin Yeah, yep, yep, yep.

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: The Collinsworth family runs deep with Notre Dame football, and

83
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: so he'll be calling games this year as part of

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 3: that normal NBC feed. But for sure, you know NBC

85
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: is going to have to add headcount at least in

86
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: some sense if they want to be doing these prime

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: time games.

88
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and it also look the reverberations with this deal

89
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: with the Big twelve and Pac twelve because the ACC

90
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: is locked up for a good amount of time. Now

91
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: we're talking I believe three decades worth down the line.

92
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: But the Big twelve and the PAC twelve, with the

93
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: Big twelve expanding and now the PAC twelve shrinking, is

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: that the proper terminology here?

95
00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: Sure? Why not?

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: The PAC twelve has the coveted late night window that ESPN,

97
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: not being in the business of the Big ten, is

98
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: going to turn its attention to the Big twelve and

99
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: PAC twelve. We're going to try to maximize things, both

100
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: because money is good and also to convince the bigger

101
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: schools that are left in those conferences to hey, it's

102
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: pretty good here, it's not bad. You can be a

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: big dog in the PAC twelve or Big twelve. And

104
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of arguments online. It's you know,

105
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: that's just how it works, about which conference is more attractive,

106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: who is the prettier option, batting their eyes at ESPN,

107
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: who now has money to burn? Tie money to burn?

108
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm always going to be partial to the

109
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: Pack ten. Pack ish. I don't know what we call

110
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: the conference move.

111
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 3: I mean, it could be the Pack six by the

112
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: time we get done with all this.

113
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: The six pack, and but it's fascinating the way college

114
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: football is moving. I don't think for the better in

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: terms of the structure of the sport, But I'd rather

116
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: just talk about the football and the story surrounding the

117
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: football itself. But what is your reaction to what has

118
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: become kind of a foregone conclusion?

119
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: You know, I mean I'm a long standing Notre Dame fan.

120
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: Everyone who listens to our show knows that, and so

121
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: for me, I think the interest in conference realignment in

122
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: these media rights deals. By the way, we know, thank

123
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: you for hanging with us through the media rights conversation.

124
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: When we talk numbers with all these zeros, it doesn't

125
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: play well in a non visual medium, but it is news,

126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: so we need to discuss it. The Notre Dame aspect

127
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 3: of this is what I find most interesting, right and

128
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: sure where they end up eventually, I mean, it does

129
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: feel like there is some sense of inevitability here in

130
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: that eventually they got to join up with a conference.

131
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: It would be like Notre Dame to zag and.

132
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: Decide they're going to join the ACC or start their

133
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 3: own I you know, but for sure, the next chapter

134
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: of this story is going to have several additional zeros

135
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: behind it, and whenever you've got that kind of firepower,

136
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: you know the next time around. I think the college

137
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: football alignment piece of this is only going to be amplified.

138
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: We're only going to see something that's greater and more

139
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: significant and more extreme than next time through, so we'll see.

140
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit salty that CBS is bringing the

141
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: SEC on CBS music to the Big Ten, like that

142
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: should go with Either ESPN takes that music and they

143
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: figure out a deal. I know that would probably never

144
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: happen because ESPN wants to do its own thing, which

145
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: I also understand. But bringing brad Nessler whatever, he hasn't

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: been that long, it'd be much weirder. If Uncle Vern

147
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: we're going to the Big Ten, that would be much

148
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: stranger for me. But the music going to the Big

149
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: Ten doesn't work for me. I don't know. I feel

150
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: like that should be the SEC's property. And may just

151
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: call me an old time er ty, call me a traditionalist,

152
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: but I don't want to hear that music ahead of

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: Penn State, Purdue, ahead of Minnesota, Indiana. Come on, that

154
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: music is reserved.

155
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: Tie Sam in the Chat, by the way, says hear

156
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: me out. Okay, what about the MAC twelve, I like it.

157
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: I think that's terrible. I think it's truly terrible. But

158
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: I think Sam is a person of great vision and fortune. Yeah,

159
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: so those I mean, all of this was to be expected,

160
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: and I think the big also expected thing was there

161
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: are room in that There is room in the contract,

162
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: in this agreement to negotiate with regard to future additions

163
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: to the contract, to the contract, to the conference. Excuse me,

164
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: be it Notre Dame, Oregon, Washington, Stanford, whoever you know, Virginia,

165
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: North Carolina. I don't know that it. The Big ten

166
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: is giving itself understandable wiggle room to tear this contract

167
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: up and add even more to it moving forward, which good,

168
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: good for the people getting the money.

169
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, get it. Well, it's good. Okay.

170
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 3: By the way, if you're listening on Spotify, if you

Speaker 1: That'll unlock a.

177
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: Whole new world, whole new series of tubes that'll let

178
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: you get down in the mud with us and mix

179
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: it up on college football. I do want to talk

180
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: about the AP Top twenty five. If you're cool to

181
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: move away from the big tens billions, Dan.

182
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: I'd love to.

183
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: The AP Top twenty five was released on Monday. Every

184
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 3: time we release one of these preseason polls, the twittersphere

185
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: goes berserk. Right, This means nothing. It means that preseason polls.

186
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: We've talked about time and again. Preseason polls don't really

187
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: mean a whole lot. It is fodder for Bozo's like

188
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: you and I to discuss on our podcast a couple

189
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: days a week. But of course people are going to

190
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: have some pretty hot takes as it relates to Top

191
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: twenty five. I would encourage folks in the chat to

192
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: weigh in and let us know what you think. I

193
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: will rifle through very quickly the top twenty five Bama,

194
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson, Notre Dame, number five, Texas A

195
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: and m Utah, Michigan, Oklahoma, Baylor, that's six through ten, Oregon,

196
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State, NC State, USC, Michigan State that's eleven through fifteen, Miami,

197
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: pitt Wisconsin, Arkansas, Kentucky sixteen through twenty, and then to

198
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: round it out, we've got Ole, miss Wake Forest, Cincinnati, Houston,

199
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: and BYU that is your top twenty five. I'm curious

200
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: upon hearing all of those. And I know we talked

201
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: about this a little bit before we went on air here,

202
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: but I'm curious, just can you give me the old,

203
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: tried and true who's too high who's too low?

204
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: Here?

205
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's hard to see Alabama finishing in the top ten.

206
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 2: Now the who's too high and who's too low? We

207
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 2: haven't seen anybody play. But I love Poles. I do.

208
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: That's my zag tie. We do zag episodes every so often.

209
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 2: I love a good poll. As I look at this,

210
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 2: I could see a universe in which USC no longer

211
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: looks like a top fourteen team, but rather a top

212
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: ten to nine type team, even with their defensive flaws.

213
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: It's hard to look at Clemson as a top four

214
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: team when so much is still unsettled at quarterback, where

215
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: you're in that top top seven range, I'd like to

216
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: see that more sure thing quarterback defense combination, which I

217
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: guess the same could be said of Texas A and M.

218
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: Among these teams, You're like, well, what do we actually

219
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: feel about where Texas A and M is at quarterback.

220
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: It feels very unsettled, and same could be said for Clemson. Otherwise,

221
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: I know you're a little bit and as is Vegas,

222
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: a little bit down on Baylor, which I don't think

223
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: I'm as down. I'm just sort of a believer in

224
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: Dave Randa and the aggression on both sides of the ball.

225
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 2: And in terms of teams that are too low, I'm

226
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: higher on Houston than twenty four. I think they're more

227
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: top twenty, top fifteen. Wake Forest is sort of a

228
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 2: shrug and we'll see what happens with Sam Hartman's health.

229
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,359
Speaker 2: Feel kind of awful about that Ole Miss quarterback. Unsettled.

230
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: I think we just as a college football universe, under

231
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: rate Kentucky annually. And so if you and I know,

232
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 2: maybe you're a little bit hesitant, but if you are

233
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: a person who feels good about Will Levis's prospects as

234
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: a higher level college and perhaps higher level draft pick

235
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: in the NFL, Kentucky surely should be thought of more

236
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 2: as top fifteen ish than where they are at twenty

237
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: right now.

238
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: As I said earlier, I'm a Notre Dame fan. You

239
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: know this. Notre Dame at five, I mean, come on,

240
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: it's a lot.

241
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: Come on, come on, man, what are we doing here?

242
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 3: Notre Dame's got a new starting quarterback, They're thin at receiver.

243
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: They had another big injury of Avery Davis blowing out

244
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: his knee again, which just sucks for him that he's

245
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: heard again. They're relatively thin at running back as well.

246
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: They've got a good line, so that's good, but they've

247
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: also got a new coach. Like, there's just so much

248
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: new at Notredame.

249
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: You're saying over ranked right now for.

250
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: Notre Dame time over ranked at five? You know, I

251
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: look again a root for the team, but come on,

252
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: five is way too high. I think Baylor honestly at ten.

253
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: I Baylor's over under a seven and a half. So

254
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: Vegas isn't even in on Baylor at number ten. That

255
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: just seems high to me. They're another team that's got

256
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: a lot of new right especially an offense new quarterback

257
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: who we saw last year and I think clearly has

258
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: a higher ceiling than Gary Bohannon, their previous starter, but

259
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: replacing some you know, production in the backfield, big time

260
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: production also out wide. I just have questions about them

261
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 3: as a top ten team. I also think Michigan State's

262
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: over ranked at fifteen over ranked. Yeah, I do, I do,

263
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: And I know disrespecting Michigan State is sort of in vogue.

264
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: It's kind of what they post on the bulletin board

265
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: up there. But you know, I think Michigan State to

266
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 3: some extent caught lightning in a bottle last season. They

267
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: were in a lot of games that could have gone

268
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: the other direction. To their credit, to mel Tucker's credit,

269
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 3: they played hard and they outlasted and they obviously had

270
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 3: a great season, you know, an incredible season. But it

271
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: would not surprise me if we have this conversation three

272
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 3: months from now and we're talking about Michigan State as

273
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: a top twenty five five team as opposed to a

274
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: top fifteen team. Feels a little high to me. As

275
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: for the teams that are too low, Utah is too low. Okay,

276
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: it's a tough schedule. Utah at seven is too low.

277
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 3: It is a tough schedule. But I'm all in on Utah.

278
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 3: I'm all in on Utah. Maybe we can talk about

279
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: that in a little bit. NC State at thirteen feels

280
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: low to me. NC State another one of those teams

281
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: that just sort of happens upon its way anonymously in

282
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: a sense, perhaps for a good long time overshadowed a

283
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: bit by Clemson and other folks in the ACC. But

284
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: I've now gotten to the point where this is a

285
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: really solid team, really solid team. I like their quarterback

286
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: and Devin Leary and I feel good about them. And

287
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if I forget if you mentioned Arkansas

288
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: at nineteen, but Arkansas is another one I could see

289
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: warming their way up into the higher levels of this

290
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: top twenty five, if only because kJ Jefferson is all

291
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: world everything in an incredible quarterback.

292
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. One of the things that I try to balance

293
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: when talking about teams in the preseason is if you

294
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: like a team, how difficult their schedule doesn't fully matter,

295
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: like you should speak with your chest and say if

296
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: I like them, I like them. I know it's difficult,

297
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: but I'm a believer in this case kJ Jefferson in Arkansas,

298
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: or the coaching staff, or what they've done in the

299
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: portal on both sides of the ball, and you just

300
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: got to stick with it. If they're good, they will

301
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: beat a good schedule.

302
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: Yes, if they're good, they will beat a good schedule.

303
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, absolutely.

304
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm good with Arkansas. Do I sound any better, Tie.

305
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: I think a little bit better. Yeah, okay, good.

306
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying here, Ty, I'm not as tech savvy as

307
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: you are. I'm just I'm just a wee audio mind.

308
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: We hear buzzes and zaps, and we know you're trying. Okay, okay,

309
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: So with that being said, please do way in on

310
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: the chat. I see a bunch of activity in the chat.

311
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: We read it.

312
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: Levi's saying Utah is going to obliterate Florida.

313
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Obliterate Florida.

314
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: I love it.

315
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: I might pick Florida in that game. Actually, Levi, you

316
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: know what else do we got here? Chase as Oklahoma's

317
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: too Oklahoma's at nine. You and I did a podcast

318
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: before this. You can make a case for Oklahoma being

319
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: too high at nine.

320
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: I am. I am good with Oklahoma with a healthy

321
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel and if I'm being assured that with the

322
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: healthier receiving core, I'm a little worried about the running

323
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: back room. I still think it's somewhat thin to me,

324
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: but I want more star power at receiver. And I

325
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: like Marvin Mams. I like THEO Weez who's now healthy.

326
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: But there's just the question of so much that's new,

327
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: like it's okay, Like, well, they lost a lot, but

328
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: you know, I'm trying to improve this one area of

329
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: their team that there needs to be more of a

330
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: proof of concept on defense talent wise, scheme wise, and

331
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna get it with Brent Venables. But because there's

332
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: so much new scheme wise, coaching wise, now quarterback wise,

333
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: jumping up a level in Dylan Gabriel, that to me

334
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: is like, man, are they able to corral all of

335
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: these different parts at the same time? And look, it's

336
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: the Big twelve. I don't think there's excellence at the

337
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: top of the Big twelve right now, but I think

338
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: there's a lot of competence in that top five to

339
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: six team spread in the conference. So that that worries

340
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 2: me about Oklahoma that they feel more fifteen sixteen than

341
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: eight or nine.

342
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: All right, let's keep going here. You know, we've got

343
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: so much else to talk about. We could rifle through

344
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: all the injuries that have been out there, but that's

345
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: kind of a bummer. There are a couple starting quarterbacks

346
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: that have been named. We mentioned Tyler Buckner. I think

347
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 3: a little bit earlier. Grant Wells is going to be

348
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: a new starting quarterback at Virginia Tech. He's the Marshall transfer. Interestingly,

349
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: at Clemson, they announced that dj Uyanga Lala is going

350
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: to be the quarterback. But my guy, Kade, club Nick,

351
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 3: you're gonna play, Now, play a little bit. I'm eager

352
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: to join the club level. I hope you all are

353
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: as well. I think it'll happen before the end of

354
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 3: the year.

355
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: What's what's the old adage? It's everything after the butt

356
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: is the truth? Right? That dju is the unquestioned start.

357
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: But but exactly, heyde club Nick will play and will

358
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: see time. So that's that's the truth of that sentence.

359
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: If you're gonna believe that old adage.

360
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 3: All right, let's keep moving through because we want to

361
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: get to our crushes here. We just went through, as

362
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 3: I said, ten preview episodes, and we've got some crushes

363
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: that we need to discuss, just things that we picked

364
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: up along the way. By the way, if you made

Speaker 3: us a follow. We'd love to have you along for

369
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: us on this weird ride that is the college football

370
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 3: regular season coming up in just a couple of weeks, Dan,

371
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: So let's talk crushes here.

372
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: I think we have a we have a set. What

373
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: is that from?

374
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: So, because I can't wait for the season time. It's

375
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: from Seminal late nineties movie can't hardly wait. The very

376
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: last scene in the train station. If you remember Ethan Embry,

377
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: Jennifer loved you It. Oh yeah, there are certain teams, Ty,

378
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: this is how I'm defining crushes. You can take a

379
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: different definition. There are certain teams that we're not expecting

380
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: playoff aspirations, national championship aspirations. But maybe just in terms

381
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 2: of sheer entertainment, sheer watchability on TV, or if you're

382
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 2: in you know, the club level phrase of the day,

383
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: that you're just like, I need to watch this team.

384
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm into this team. I for whatever reason, I think

385
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 2: they're going to be better than they were last year,

386
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: if that's the case, or I just I'm locked in

387
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: on this quarterback or this running back or this edge

388
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: rusher that you feel, or this coach or whatever that

389
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: I am. I'm feeling, you know, tingly things, even though

390
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: perhaps the rest of the world sees them as merely

391
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: fine or not so good? Who are you crushing on?

392
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm crushing on Texas Tech.

393
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: Man starting quarterback and TVD.

394
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm crushing specifically Texas Tech's schedule. Okay, so maybe

395
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: not so much the team, but this is one of

396
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: those things where I I I think I speculate I

397
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: was the first person to discover the novelty of this,

398
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: and so you know how that is when you find

399
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: something that you think you're the only one in the

400
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: world you found it. It's it's ride or die. Mm hmm,

401
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: you're just your inter You're out. TeX's over under is

402
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 3: five and a half. I am under no illusions here

403
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: that they're going eight and four. They're not going eight

404
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: and four. They've got a new coach, potentially Tyler Schuck,

405
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: running a system that demands good quarterback play, which is

406
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: is okay, okay, okay, I got questions. But you know

407
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 3: how Forrest Gump always happened to be at those historical

408
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: moments in the sixties and seventies.

409
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 2: That's right, very gumpy.

410
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 3: Texas Tech is gumpy man. They play a tough slate,

411
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: but most of their opponents are either coming off of

412
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 3: or looking ahead to bigger, more significant games.

413
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

414
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Oklahoma gets them a week after the Bedlam game.

415
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State plays them a week after Baylor. Baylor gets

416
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 3: them a week after or a week before Oklahoma. Excuse me,

417
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: case State has them in between Oklahoma and the Farminggedton

418
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: rivalry with Iowa State. West Virginia gets them a week

419
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 3: after Baylor, and TCU plays them a week before Texas. Again,

420
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: that's tough slate. Texas Tech is kind of starting over

421
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 3: here with a new coach and Joey Maguire, who I

422
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: think will be a master motivator and will be very

423
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: exciting to watch them play. They're gonna dump a couple

424
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: of those teams, I'm confident because of the way, and

425
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: we see this all the time in college. I'm sure

426
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: the numbers don't back me up. Maybe this is just

427
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 3: me talking, you know, shooting from the hip here, but

428
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna dump a couple of those teams,

429
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: if only because of the situational advantage that they're going

430
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 3: to find themselves in.

431
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 2: So what you're saying is the bug of Texas Tech

432
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: that what from the outside looks like a pretty brutal

433
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: schedule filled with tremendously scary stretches. Actually it's brutal. Yeah, thanks, Olivy.

434
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: Is actually a feature that because so many teams in

435
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: a row are getting Texas Tech, that when you reverse

436
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: it and look about and look to where those teams

437
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: are getting Texas Tech on their schedule, that in fact,

438
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: the Red Raiders are are the ones who knock shout

439
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 2: out Walter White that they are the scary ones just

440
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 2: because they've got nothing to lose. It's a first year coach.

441
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: Nothing is truly expected from the quarterback position in any

442
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: sort of meaningful way. They're just trying to establish new

443
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: systems and you know, get that defense more to competence

444
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: under Tim de Ruder that they're they're fully entrenched in

445
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: the conference's wildcard status.

446
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, yes, that's where I'm at here.

447
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: I like that. That's a good crush. We've all had

448
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: crushes on wild cards.

449
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: Tie this wild card.

450
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: Let he or she who has not cast the first up.

451
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not bringing tack home the mom right now.

452
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 3: I mean no, it's this crush is based exclusively on

453
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: the weirdness of their schedule, the gumpiness, if you will.

454
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: I'm going at the who's of Virginia. And if you

455
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: can throw the hell out of the ball and you've

456
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: got an experienced quarterback and you've got a versatile wide receiver,

457
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: that is you know our favorite Capitol M matchup Capital

458
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: and Nightmare in Keton Thompson. Yea, the acc once again

459
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: is going to be absurd, especially with uncertainty with Clemson

460
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: at the top. Clemson's going to have a tremendous defense,

461
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: but you give me that ability to throw the ball.

462
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: New coach so in their own way, kind of a

463
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: wild card in terms of what the scheme looks like.

464
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 2: Old offensive coordinator Off to Syracuse that there is something

465
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: about Virginia that excites me that when I watch a

466
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 2: Virginia game, I know most of the time they can

467
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: just score forty five, win or lose because they were

468
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: truly pretty bad against the pass last year winteror lose.

469
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 2: Virginia's giving me TV. They're giving me a show, and

470
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: I'm kind of great with that. I'm kind of great

471
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: with that as an identity, and I'm sure they're trying

472
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: everything they can do to improve their defense. Tony Elliott

473
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: hired I think Air Force's defensive coordinator, and they did

474
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: a great job for air Force for the Falcons. But

475
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: it's hard to fix in a year. But again, if

476
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna if I'm gonna stick with that sort of

477
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: you know, snake in the toilet, scorpion in your shoe, whatever,

478
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: I think Virginia fits that. I think they're just not

479
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: gonna be fun at all to play. They didn't have

480
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: a crazy amount of explosive plays last year, but just

481
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 2: completed a ton of passes. They were efficient, They moved

482
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: the ball down the field. They kept that offense on

483
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: the field. I'm gonna I'm gonna tune in to whoever's

484
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 2: calling that ACC Network game. EJ Manual freaking out over

485
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: the Who's good? Great by me?

486
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: All right? Another one for me?

487
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 3: If I could you Anthony Richardson quarterback Florida. The problem

488
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: with doing ten preview episodes where each episode is focused

489
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: on a specific division in a specific conference is that

490
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: I could only talk about Anthony Richardson once. He's big,

491
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: he is lightning fast, and usually those guys are pretty good.

492
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 3: They're pretty usually yeah, usually needs to get better as

493
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: a passer, granted, but it's all there.

494
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: It's all there. The line in front of them should

495
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: be good enough.

496
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 3: Florida. I think will be good enough out wide running back.

497
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 3: You can talk about running back later, but it's not

498
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: The thing is, whenever you've got a team that swaps

499
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: out a coach, there is this kind of this, this

500
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 3: sort of like aura that the cupboard was bear.

501
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: The cupboard is not bear.

502
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: It's not bear for billiy Napier. I actually think they'll

503
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: be quite solid on offense. And I know you feel

504
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: similarly about LSU. LSU now falls into this category as well,

505
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: where yes, tough schedule is there, Yes it's a new coach.

506
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: Yes there's turnover, and there are things that we need

507
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: to figure out, but there's so much damn talent on

508
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: the field. There's so much talent out there there that

509
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 3: it feels like the floor is higher than you might

510
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 3: expect for a team that's basically starting over with a

511
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: new coach.

512
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: I hear you. I think it's a good answer. I'm

513
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 2: a little bit worried again though about so many new

514
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: things happening at the same time with where the locker

515
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: room was last year, and I'm glad. Look, there appears

516
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: to be a good amount of energy in Gainesville. Recruiting

517
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: has really taken a turn in the right direction. That

518
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: Billy Napier and that staff have done a really good job,

519
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: especially in that area of Gainesville, of locking down some

520
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: legacy types and people who grew up wanting to be

521
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: Gators guys. They should be getting pulling in those kind

522
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 2: of dudes. So that the return on that and what

523
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: that indicates about the culture and gains well, I think

524
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 2: is quite positive. Anthony Richardson is electric at his best.

525
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: He is one of the you know, the elite few

526
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: at quarterback in the country. It's just a matter of

527
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: who steps up at different places when they've had, you know,

528
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: some pretty huge playmakers recently. And is the scheme maximizing

529
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: who he is rather than what Billy Napier or what

530
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: the coaching staff wants to do. Is it fully built

531
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: around and optimizing the Anthony Richard Anthony Richardson experience. I hope.

532
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: So that's my question.

533
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad that he's gonna get first team reps.

534
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're gonna get to see more of him.

535
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: I'm sort of in that camp that believes we should

536
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 3: have seen more of him last season. I know he

537
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: had a hamstring issue and he was hampered a bit

538
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 3: by nagging injuries. But you know, I just think the

539
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 3: guy's electric. I want to see what he can do

540
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 3: out there. And it looks like we're gonna get our

541
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: opportunity this year, So.

542
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: I State, can I stay on the beaten path with

543
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: the crush.

544
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

545
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 2: So this is a team that's going to be very good,

546
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 2: and why they're going to be very good is pretty obvious.

547
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: But there is something novel about Michigan this year, and

548
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: that's the sheer number of offensive playmakers, the recruiting, the development,

549
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: the evaluation a receiver, running back, the tight end room.

550
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: I remember, I'm positive Penn State fans remember Eric All

551
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: running free at the end of that game last year.

552
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: Late that they have more options on offense. It seemed like,

553
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: you know, they were running those comically large spreads of

554
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, putting nine offensive liman whatever on the field.

555
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: They don't have to do that anymore. And whoever the

556
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: quarterback is, you're a JJ McCarthy guy, You're a K

557
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: McNamara gal, whatever, whatever you are. The fact is Roman Wilson,

558
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: Ronnie Bell's back healthy. Blake horm If he's not the

559
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 2: best running back in the Big Ten, he's in that

560
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: conversation Donovan Edwards can be used in a number of

561
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: different ways. They bring in the tall receiver from the

562
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: West Coast, Darius Clemens, like, there's a lot of interest

563
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: from me to you from.

564
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: Here's the thing about Michigan. You can't say anything bad

565
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: about Michigan.

566
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: No, you could never say paths.

567
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: If you say anything bad about Michigan, you're going to

568
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: get a thousand emails.

569
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: So my wife's uncle is an enormous Michigan fan. And

570
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: I said, how you feel, how do you feel about

571
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: you know, Mason Blue this year? And he said, look,

572
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: if the offensive line remained pretty good, they're gonna be

573
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: fun to watch. We made the playoff last year. It's

574
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: all gravy right now. No matter who the quarterback is,

575
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: he should be behind a pretty good offensive line. They've

576
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 2: got fun dudes on offense. That's what he said. I

577
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: don't know if he said fun dudes. He doesn't say

578
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: fun dudes.

579
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't say that night and see dudes.

580
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: But he to him, he's just like Michigan's somebody good

581
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: and fun to watch. And so he wasn't terribly worked

582
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: up about whatever the quarterback battle will be Replacing Aiden

583
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: Hutchinson replacing the guys they do on defense because recent recruiting,

584
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: maybe not recruiting this year, recent recruiting, is you're able

585
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: to say, Okay, we can move on from Aiden Hutchinson,

586
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: David o'jab oh. Maybe not one to one replacement, maybe

587
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: not fully replaced with Dax Hill meant especially in the

588
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: open field. But there are enough guys you feel confident

589
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: like Michigan's gonna win a bunch of games. Do they

590
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: have the firepower on offense of Ohio State? They do not.

591
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: Those receivers though they're good, man, they have options. I'm

592
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: I'm getting a little work up.

593
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 3: By the way, we got a great one here from

594
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 3: Grant in the chat. Oh ready, he's crushing on Hunter

595
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: Deckers for Iowa State. Can we can we pause for

596
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 3: a second and bow at the altar of the left

597
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: handed quarterback?

598
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: Oh?

599
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah?

600
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: Can we can we do that here? Can we have

601
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: an appreciation for left handed quarterbacks? Hunter Decker he's big,

602
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 3: he's lefty. He's taking over for brock Purty. So Rip

603
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: Broctober will come up with some other weird name for

604
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: whatever Hunter Deckers does to Booie Iowa State. Iowa State's

605
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: problem is not Hunter Deckers. Iowa State's problem is that

606
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: Brice Hall got eight hundred touches, which was the most

607
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 3: in FBS college football over the last three seasons, and

608
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 3: now he's being replaced by a running back by committee,

609
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: four guys who presumably are fine and good, and they

610
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: will do their best to replace that kind of production.

611
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 3: But between losing Brice Hall and his production also losing

612
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: the spine of that defense Mike Rose alongside you know,

613
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: other guys on the offensive side who have been there

614
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 3: pretty much forever since the start of the Matt Campbell era,

615
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: and Chas Kohler as we like to call him, and

616
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 3: Chase Allen, the big tight ends. I will state, we'll

617
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: have its work cut out for it in that sense.

618
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: But Hunter Deckers, I like that one. Grant, that's a

619
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: pretty good one.

620
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. The big thing, if I'm just going to speak

621
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: for myself here, it's not the lefty quarterback as much

622
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: as it is the beefy lefty quarterback. Oh yeah, it's

623
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: the Scott Mitchell. It's the Pillsbury throwboy, hefty lefty. It's

624
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: you know, hold Naylor's. I don't think it's super tall

625
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 2: at ECU, but beefy, a little bit beefy Tim Tebow beefy.

626
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: Beefy left there. There was a beef there.

627
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: That to me, and I drop it in the comments

628
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: your favorite beef lefty quarterbacks. It's a very very specific

629
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: interest of mine, but I can always appreciate a beefy

630
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 2: lefty quarterback making his mark on the sport. And Hunter Deckers,

631
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's good. I remember he was

632
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: relatively well thought of coming out of high school. He

633
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: came in in relief, I believe in the Iowa game

634
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: in the Sihawk game last year, and it was sort

635
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: of like the Matt Campbell's looking for answers. However he

636
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: could get them. And then I think Hunter Deckers threw

637
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: a couple of terrible passes too, but he wasn't the

638
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: full time guy. Yeah, I hope it works out for

639
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: Iowa State and Hunter Deckers. That would be cool because

640
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: once again I talk about the depth of competence in

641
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: the Big twelve Iowa States firmly in that conversation.

642
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Of course they are.

643
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: By the way, We've had a long fascination with lefty quarterbacks,

644
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: including the surprisingly left the surprisingly lefty receiver who throws

645
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 3: a pass as part of a trick play.

646
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you would have no idea.

647
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: Unbelievable.

648
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: All right, I see people lining up here to speak.

649
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 3: I promise we will get to that. We do have

650
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: one other thing, though, that we need to cover. Dan.

651
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: This is your This is sort.

652
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: Of your your your love child in a sense of

653
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 3: as it relates to weird segments that we could as

654
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: part of this. You've been championing this for at least

655
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: the last three weeks on our podcast because I'm a

656
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 3: guy likes to make a couple bets, not over the

657
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: top with it. This isn't a betting show, but I

658
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: do pay attention to it. I believe it's important information.

659
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: I too like to win a few bucks on the

660
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: side here and there, and so I care about things

661
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: like over unders and advance point spreads and things of

662
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: that nature. And we've been talking about it throughout the

663
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: course of our previews. You invented this game. What is

664
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: this game that? What are you going to put me through?

665
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: Here?

666
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: It's tie versus the world? And all I want you

667
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: to do is check your gut, make sure you're picking games,

668
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: picking you know, win totals, picking something in the wagering world.

669
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: And then I want people to raise their hands and

670
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: ask to speak in the chat and make their own picks.

671
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: And so I think during the season it'll be a

672
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: weekly thing of you picking a game or you picking

673
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: five games, and we're going to keep track of it

674
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 2: all year long. And then each person that comes to

675
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: the stage, we got to have them do something like

676
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: Dan patricky right. We have to say like, what is

677
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: your name? And who is a player who has haunted

678
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 2: you forever? What is your name? What do you plan

679
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: on eating this weekend? What is your name?

680
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: What?

681
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what anybody else could say? Do you

682
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: own a dog? Something? And I want them to make

683
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: their pick. So I want the collective audience listening and

684
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: participating in the show to have five picks. And I

685
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: want you to have five picks. And I want to

686
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: see if you can do better than America. I want

687
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: to see if this hot shot.

688
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: Podcaster, hot shot PI, Oh my god.

00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,719

691
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 2: I always knew that about you. I always did.

692
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: Here is the sound the show in live singer I love.

693
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: That, of course, mister crabs plural crabs, of course. Yeah.

694
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 2: So I think right now we could do we could

695
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: do win totals, but we won't know till the end

696
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: of the year if we're keeping track. But we got

697
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: to keep track anyway, So it's up to you if

698
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: you want to do win to go.

699
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: I got five. I got five for you.

700
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm ready to roll here h and again, as

701
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 3: Dan said, raise your hand. I see people are winding up.

702
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: I promise we're going to get to it right after this.

703
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: Thank you for wanting to be part of this. We're

704
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: excited to be part of it as well. My five

705
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 3: picks real quick, and they're going to be more. We'll

706
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 3: talk about them on our podcast. Again, go and follow

707
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 3: if you haven't done that. But the first one is

708
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 3: Colorado under three, three and a half. It really depends

709
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: where you look and when you look. These things tend

710
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 3: to vary. But right now the win total that I

711
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 3: saw for Colorado is three. Here's the problem with Colorado.

712
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 3: They're best running back Jack Broussard, transfer their top two

713
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 3: wide receivers transferred out. They hired Mike Sandford to replace

714
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: the offense.

715
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: I don't like that Ate.

716
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: Nate Landman, they're big guy on defense.

717
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 1: He's gone.

718
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 3: Carson Wells also gone at linebacker, Christian Gonzalez, Makai Blackman

719
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: gone at cornerback. The baby Buffs, as I'm calling them,

720
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 3: have the least returning production of any PAC twelve defense.

721
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: That's why the over under is so low, and the

722
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: schedule looks brutal, it looks awful. There is a legit

723
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: chance of oh to twelve. I've been sounding the alarm

724
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks. Now, do not bet over Colorado.

725
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: If anything go under, that is pick number one.

726
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: Okay? Should I be writing this down? Do we have

727
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: it like an official stenographer?

728
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 3: Stenographer? We definitely do not. We don't have that kind

729
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 3: of budget.

730
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm writing this down. Hold on Colorado, win total

731
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: three and a half under, Yes.

732
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, three, you can go three. Let's just call it three.

733
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: Okay, win total three. Tye says under, all right, Next.

734
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 3: I see thumbs down coming in the chat. Appreciate that.

735
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 3: Appreciate that. No, that's good.

736
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: They're saying under.

737
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: Oh under under runner. Okay, no thumbs down to your pick.

738
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: Thumbs down coming, boys and girls, Army, I'm going over

739
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: eight the United States Army. Dan Okay, I said this

740
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: on our preview. I can imagine a world in which

741
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: Army wins eleven games. They do have some losses along

742
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 3: the offensive line, which is a little concerning given the

743
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: nature of the offense. It is entirely based on the ground,

744
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 3: so they got to gotta patch that up. But all told,

745
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: I think this is an experienced enough group that's just

746
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 3: gonna grind people down. I'm gonna grind people down. Watch

747
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 3: Army for that style of football as like an interesting

748
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: zag to keep teams on their toes. Also watch on

749
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 3: defense because Andre Carter is a monster, the third team

750
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: All American last season. He's got stats that put him

751
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 3: in the Will Anderson territory of things here. You know,

752
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 3: our boy Woo Anderson on Alabama. Andre Carter is a

753
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 3: bit of a beast. So Army over a give me

754
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: thumbs up in the chat. If you're also on you

755
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 3: can't go against the US Army.

756
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, okay, I have that down official stenographer.

757
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: A lot of thumbs up.

758
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 2: Thank you guys, thank you you. You're preaching to the choir.

759
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: This one goes out to our guy Chris, who's helping

760
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 3: us with the chat Utah over eight and a half

761
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 3: baby go Utes. I am all in on the Utes

762
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 3: this season because of how physical they are.

763
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: And here's why.

764
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: If you look around the PAC twelve, then and you

765
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: know the PAC twelve better than I do, look around

766
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 3: the PAC twelve and tell me maybe, with the exception

767
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 3: of Oregon, is there any team in the Pac twelve

768
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: that they can't play that bully ball against and win.

769
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: Okay, so they're on a San Diego State losing streak,

770
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: and San Diego State should have another good defense. They

771
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 2: return a lot no that specific band. I don't think

772
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 2: anybody has the the beef we talk about, beefy lefty quarterbacks,

773
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 2: the beef up front. Other than Oregon, who they handled

774
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: pretty well late last year a couple times, Florida I

775
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 2: think has it. That's the thing. To me. Florida has guys.

776
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: Oregon has guys as well, but excuse me otherwise. I

777
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: think Cam Rising is arguably the best quarterback in the conference.

778
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. There are let's say, one, two, three

779
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: and a half clearly losable games on this schedule, So

780
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 2: it almost feels trappy that Utah is finally the hunted

781
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: and that there's more pressure on Utah than there's ever been.

782
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: They win the conference, they break through last year, they

783
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: play in this memorable Rose Bowl, and then they have

784
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: to follow it up with a much brighter spotlight. I

785
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 2: don't know what that does. I mean, they've consistently almost

786
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: always won with Kyle Whinningham. They're just a winning program

787
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 2: year over year. They're a dangerous team. But you know,

788
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 2: they lose to Oregon State in that weird game last year,

789
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 2: like they sort of annually drop a very silly game,

790
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: and so then if you give silly game dropage, if

791
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: you put that on top of them, please keep going

792
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: barely English. Barely English is what I'm speaking at Oregon

793
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: USC at UCLA, and those two games are in a row,

794
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: with Oregon State coming the week before that in Florida

795
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 2: and San Diego State to start the season. They are

796
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: right now, on paper, better than all of those teams.

797
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 2: But I don't know, man, there's some droppable quarters halves

798
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: in there that I don't know if they can afford

799
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: to have a week off and suddenly they wake up

800
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: and they're nine to three. That's and they're still covering, right,

801
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: They're still hidding that over. It feels a little trappy.

802
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, c a b Admiral wlackbar All right, I'm going

803
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: over over on Ohio State ten and a half. This

804
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 3: is not this is not exactly going out on a limb,

805
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 3: But buck guys are my pick to win it all.

806
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: I think that the offense is going to be the

807
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: best in America. The defense, I mean, the defense has

808
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: to get better. It wasn't Yeah, I mean it'll probably

809
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 3: be better. They brought up Jim Knowles from Oklahoma State.

810
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 3: It wasn't like a bad defense. It was a bad

811
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 3: in spots defense last season that ran up against a

812
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 3: couple physical opponents. And those are the ones that did

813
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 3: him in, namely Michigan, Oregon, even Utah to some extent

814
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 3: in that rose ball game, even though they won. There

815
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 3: are six really tough games on this schedule. I don't

816
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 3: want to undersell the schedule. I think on an earlier

817
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: show I said I love the schedule. I don't love

818
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,959
Speaker 3: it as much as I thought it first. But here's

819
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 3: the thing of the six really tough games. I don't

820
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 3: know if any of them scare me. Notre Dame Week one,

821
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 3: they're going to beat Notre Dame Wisconsin. I have no

822
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 3: faith that Wisconsin can run an offense. Michigan State. I

823
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 3: think they handily beat Michigan State.

824
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: Iowa.

825
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 3: They're better than Penn State. On the road is interesting

826
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 3: to me, if only because it's at Penn State, and

827
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: I think they're going to get one over on mission

828
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 3: in this year. You know, I think they'll get back.

829
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: I think they'll redeem themselves for what happened last season.

830
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not too worried about any of those games.

831
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 3: I think if they lose, it's probably that Halloween weekend

832
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 3: game on the road at Penn State.

833
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: Okay, but I feel really good about the Buckeys.

834
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 3: And you know who would I be if I didn't

835
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 3: put my money where my mouth is here saying Ohio

836
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 3: State's winning at all and then betting under ten and

837
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 3: a half.

838
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: So I'm over Ohio State ten and a half.

839
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 2: Well, you're pretty confident Notre Dame is going to beat

840
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 2: him soundly opening weekend.

841
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no no no. We

842
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: never said that, never said that.

843
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 3: The final one, by the way, is Auburn under six

844
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 3: and a half. And that's because I don't like their quarterback.

845
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 3: I don't know who he's throwing to. Their defense is

846
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 3: big time turnover, the schedule is murder, and I think

847
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 3: their coach is soft.

848
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

849
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 3: Okay, he could have been in Alabama last year and

850
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 3: he kicked the extra point.

851
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's inexcusable. I agree with what am.

852
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 3: I supposed to get? How are you supposed to earn?

853
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 3: I respect if that's against your biggest rival, You've got

854
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 3: nothing to play for other than beating the rival. You

855
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 3: got a quarterback out there on one leg. You don't

856
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 3: go for the win. So I agree my stance on Auburn.

857
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 3: If you look at the schedule, if you consider the circumstance,

858
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 3: it is far easier to count seven losses than seven wins.

859
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 3: With an over under of six and a half, I

860
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: go under.

861
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: So the counterpoint is Auburn should have a pretty good defense, right,

862
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: I think they should. I don't know if they have

863
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: game changers up front. They don't Derek Brown this year,

864
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: you know a guy like that. In the same way,

865
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 2: Ohio State is still sort of searching for whoever the

866
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 2: next Chase Young is, which is an impossible find. But

867
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: a good defense and an ability to run the ball.

868
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 2: I don't know what their home road splits look like.

869
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 2: I know they have Penn State on the planes. But

870
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot of change in the SEC this year,

871
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of teams. You look at Ole Miss,

872
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 2: you look at A and M. There's a lot of

873
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 2: teams who are not the strongest at quarterback, or not

874
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: the most set, not the most decided right now at quarterback.

875
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: And Auburn is certainly one of those teams. But it's

876
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 2: a good year to have an interesting, promising defense and

877
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: to get to seven eight games. You give the ball

878
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: to Tank Bigsby, whoever it lands on at quarterback. If

879
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 2: it's Zach Calzada healthy because he was beat up at

880
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 2: the end of last year with that shoulder injury. If

881
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: it's a healthy Zach Kalzada, who takes that job, which

882
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: is the probable outcome, hand it off, you know, win

883
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of games seventeen, thirteen, twenty three, seventeen, something

884
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: like that. You can see them getting to seven or

885
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 2: eight games. If their weird offseason oddly galvanizes the team.

886
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: If if if that's just all my counterpoint has But

887
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: I'm okay with you going under. But that's a that's

888
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 2: a that's a swing ty. That is a you're going

889
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: to have a if you're betting Auburn either way, you

890
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 2: were going to have an emotional roller coaster of a

891
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 2: season watching this team.

892
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, yeah, there's there's a lot of Iowa

893
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 3: football in Auburn football in twenty twenty two. In that

894
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: I feel like there are gonna be a lot of

895
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 3: close games. It's gonna be a lot of games with

896
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 3: defense and running the ball. And I'm not a Zach

897
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 3: Calzada believer. I wasn't last year. I mean, he beat Alabama,

898
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 3: Good for him, but that win over Alabama is doing

899
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 3: a lot of heavy lifting.

900
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 2: Well, if you're if you're an Auburn fan, you go

901
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 2: into every season knowing you're gonna beat somebody you absolutely

902
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: shouldn't or will be in it to beat somebody you

903
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: absolutely shouldn't, and you're gonna lose to at least a somebody,

904
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: if not somebody's plural that you shouldn't be losing to,

905
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: which is why they should always be you know, six

906
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: and a half, seven and a half as a win

907
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: total over under. So have fun with this ty, because

908
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: now it's not just all fun and games you're the
