1 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: Those of you in the audience who struggle with like 2 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: low blood sugar a lot. You know what it feels 3 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: like when you have low blood sugar. But I didn't 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: grow up blood sugar issues. But pretty much everyone has 5 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: those three or four times per year where you just 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: get lightheaded or you get really hungry, and you know, 7 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: you get a little shaky. Ideally it doesn't happen right 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: before you start a show, but it happened for me tonight, 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: right before we started the show, so I had pres 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: run into the kitchen. It grabbed me a bunch of oreos, 11 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: the blonde oreo kind. So I've just been inhaling those 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: things right before the show. Very healthy. So we're jam packed. 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 1: We're reasonably stuffed, not double stuffed, but reasonably stuffed. High 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: atop of Sagi, downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on this Sunday night, 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: February fifteenth, the year of our lower twenty twenty six, 16 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: hope Valentines well for all of you. I don't know. 17 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: I guess the live chat will tell the tale on 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: that one. But there are some big scheduling debates happening 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: out there. There are some big I don't know. BIG's 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: a relative word. But there are some sizeable, some very 21 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: loud college football playoff debates happening, and I'm gonna not 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: be distracted by any of it because this is the 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: night that we had identified to unveil our brand new, 24 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: up to date twenty twenty six college football program rankings. 25 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: They were met with much debate a season ago, and 26 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: so we're not going to shy away from it. And well, 27 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: we're also not going to be distracted by the shiny 28 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: objects here and there, although we will talk about said 29 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: shiny objects later in the show. No, it's time to 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: let you know what the best programs in college football are. 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: Not to be confused with team the best programs in 32 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: college football. I'll do that in just a second. Got 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: some quarterback battles we're gonna be talking about a Morris 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: springball gets close to us. But I just want to 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: prime ourselves with some early thoughts on that tonight and 36 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: some observations from a trip that I took over the week. 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't a quick trip, although we stopped at several 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: quick trips over to the Broyles Award, which is a 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: very very overlooked event. It's not overlooked by the people 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: who go to it. But it's overlooked by maybe the 41 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: awards community because it happens in February. But it's smart 42 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: that it happens in February. So I'll talk about that. 43 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: Some observations. Mike Bobo, dude, he doesn't need to coach 44 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: anymore after the weekend I observed him having he doesn't 45 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: need to coach anymore. And that's not a criticism. That's 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: just saying Mike Bobo had a really good weekend. So 47 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: I'll talk about that later. They're watching us in Jefferson City, Tennessee, Garner, Iowa, London, England, 48 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: Gulf Shores, Alabama. Thank you guys so much.

It takes two seconds. 52 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: It costs you nothing, it signs you up for nothing, 53 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: and we appreciate it. Here we go. It is that 54 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: time of year we do this, Jesse. We do this 55 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: once a year, right, yeah, we only do it once 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: a year because we ranked teams a whole lot. I mean, 57 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: everyone ranks teams all the time, but does anyone ever 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: stop to rank programs. What we do, Bradley, here's your endpoint. 59 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: It's time for us to rerack all the pool balls, 60 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: and let's talk about the college football program rankings. We 61 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: do them on the show once a year. And the 62 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: way we define a program around here is a little 63 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: different than the way we define a team. So college 64 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: football programs, we try and nail them down on a 65 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: few pieces of rolling three year criteria. So we want 66 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: to zoom in on, for example, how good are you 67 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: at talent acquisition over the past several years, Over the 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: past three years. We want to know how are you 69 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: doing on field. You know, if you tanked in twenty 70 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: twenty three, but you really surged in twenty four and 71 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: twenty five. We're going to aggregate all that. We're probably 72 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: going to lean a little bit more recency bias. I 73 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: want to know how good your resource pool is you 74 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: broke In other words, we don't want there's no room 75 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: for Pooresi's in the top ten, top twelve of the 76 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: program rankings. Organizational stability matters a lot to me here. 77 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: For example, like Oregon, Oregon's had some churn. They're not 78 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: the only one, but Oregon had an offensive coordinator in 79 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham walk out the door to go be his 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: own head coach, and then they brought in will Stein, 81 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: and that showed me they really know what they're doing 82 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: in high RNK calls. Now will Stein is a head coach, 83 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: so that sort of thing. Ryan Day lost two coordinators 84 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: and backfilled them with really solid replacements. So that sort 85 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: of thing matters. And we take all of this stuff, 86 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: we put it in a blender. We add just a 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: touch of expectation, just a touch of forward thinking, maybe predictive. Hey, 88 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: where do we think the program's headed, and we pour 89 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: it all out and those are our program rankings. I 90 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: don't think I really left anything out there. Portal and 91 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: recruiting obviously matter combined when it comes to talent acquisition. 92 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: So here's how I see the top ten programs in 93 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: the country. Right now, I think oh Hi State's the 94 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: top program in the country. Ohio State is thirty seven 95 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: and six over the past three years. They've got a 96 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: national championship mixed in here. They are a top five 97 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 1: recruiting program in the country. They're a very very high 98 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: value portal program. Translation, they don't need to flood themselves 99 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: with a bunch of transfers because they recruit and developed 100 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: very well. But when they do need to, they can 101 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: be very selective, and they can be very effective in 102 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: the transfer portal. And they're just excellent at staffing. I 103 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: don't know that many programs at all are doing it better. 104 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: Just think about what's happened within this past three years 105 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: at Ohio State. You had two coordinator turnover situations just 106 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: this past year. It happened. And then you kind of 107 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: you lose Chip Kelly, who was a foundational piece of 108 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: that run, and you elevate from within. But then also 109 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: you go and you get Matt Patricia because Jim Knowles 110 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: moves on, and if anything, they improved defensively, which is 111 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: just really hard to do. So that is supreme organizational 112 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: structure there. Ohio State is here as long as Ryan 113 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: days there, and then even above and beyond Ryan Day, 114 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: not to overlook him one of the best doing it 115 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: right now, but even to move beyond him, Ohio State 116 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: as a program has been resilient over the past several 117 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: head coaches they've had, so it's just been a winning program. 118 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: I would move on to number two, and I would 119 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: say Georgia. George is the number two program in the 120 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: country right now, per the PATE State Program Rankings thirty 121 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: six and six. Over the past three years, you got 122 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: back to back SEC championships woven in here. They're a 123 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: back to back playoff team and it was a four 124 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: teamer in twenty twenty three year they would have been 125 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: in there by today's standards. Three years in a row. 126 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: They are the top recruiter in the SEC and the 127 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: nation blended over a three year rolling period, and it's 128 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: another excellent outfit when it comes to staffing. If we 129 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: did a head coaching draft and I had first pick, 130 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: I'd probably go Kirby Smart And if you made me 131 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: go second and I had to take Ryan Day, I 132 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't be upset with that at all. But bottom line 133 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: is you've got really really established coordinators there, really great culture, 134 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: really great way of doing things. So I got Georgia 135 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: at number two. This is where it gets a little controversial, 136 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: but at number three, I'm put in Indiana. I understand 137 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: that this is a very very extreme example, but Indiana 138 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: is at number three for me in the program rankings. 139 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: They came from out of nowhere. They weren't top ten 140 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: last year because we kind of tried not to fall 141 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: victim to extreme recency bias. This time last year, Indiana 142 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: had come from out of nowhere and Kurt Signetti had 143 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: had risen them from the dead, and they went to 144 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: the playoff. But then they got beat pretty soundly in 145 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and we were trying to ask ourselves, Okay, 146 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: that means their team was great, But a program is 147 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: a three year rolling blend, right, so we tried to 148 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: not be prisoners of the moment. But now, what did 149 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: they do is the follow up act? They went and 150 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: won the Big Ten, They went to the play again, 151 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: they won the national championship. They steamrolled folks largely in 152 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: the process, and so now they're twenty seven to two 153 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: over the last two years. They just won the conference 154 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: in national title. The head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator 155 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: combination here may be as good as anyone in the 156 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: country has. The talent acquisition profile now is surging. And 157 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: so yeah, while I still technically have to define this 158 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: as a three year rolling blend, we've got to have 159 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: extreme two year recency bias here. And then the part 160 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: where I do allow myself to look forward a little bit, 161 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: they're programs in as good a position as anyone, and 162 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: the reason it's not some one hit wonder, the reason 163 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: it's not some unicorn Johnny come lately and now they'll 164 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: fade back off into the ABYSS type efforts is because 165 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: they've got elite resources there too, which we've just now 166 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: come to realize about Indiana kind of as a college 167 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: football public. I got Indiana at number three. I don't 168 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: really I know it's an extreme example, but everything about 169 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: what they have done is extreme or an outlier, so 170 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: to speak. So yeah, we have to have rules around here, 171 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: but we have to make room for an outlier that 172 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: kind of comes in and just challenges everything about your 173 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: college football worldview. Number four a team that they beat 174 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: twice last year. Oregon. I'd put Oregon as the number 175 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: four program in the country right now, thirty eight and four. 176 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: Over that last three year period, they got back to 177 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: back playoff appearances. They won the Big Ten two years ago. 178 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: They are the top recruiting program in the Big Ten. 179 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: Over that rolling three year snapshot. They have had coaching 180 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: churn there too. When it comes to really valuing organizational structure, 181 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: think about what they've gone through. Think about the fact 182 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: that Kenny Dillingham was there and he was so good 183 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: that he got his own shot to be a head 184 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: coach in Arizona State, and they had to go make 185 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: a hire and they brought in will Stein. Most people 186 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: hadn't heard of will Stein when Dan Lanning went and 187 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: got him, and then will Stein and his offense didn't 188 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: fall off one bit, so much so that now will 189 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: Stein himself has gotten a head coaching job, and now 190 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: they're promoting from within again, and you start to just 191 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: blindly trust that they really know what they're doing. They're 192 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: Dan Lanning's one of the best head coaches in the country. 193 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: They've got excellent resources, loved the culture there. Oregon has 194 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: one or two major hurdles to clear. You know, they've 195 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: got a lot that they have cleared, although nothing's guaranteed. 196 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: You start over from scratch every year, but they've got 197 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: that one big hurdle once they get to the playoffs. 198 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: Don't let an Ohio State be in your way. Don't 199 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: fall victim to what Indiana did to you last year. 200 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: But see outside of that, there's not much between them 201 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: and the top. And that's why I've gotten them behind Indiana. 202 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: I've gotten behind Ohio State. Speaking of the depth in 203 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: the Big Ten. Man, being fourth in the country means 204 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: being third in the Big ten right now in the 205 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: program rankings. I mean, for a show that reeks of 206 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: sec bias, I don't see it in the program rankings 207 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: at least, So I've got to work in at number four, 208 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: number five. We debated internally where to put this team. 209 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: This program actually not all that long. Texas is number 210 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: five for US got Texas as the number five program 211 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: in the country. They're thirty five and eight over the 212 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: last three years college Football Playoff in twenty three and 213 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: twenty four. They missed out last year, but they're a 214 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: top five recruiter in the country over that three year spam. 215 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: They're very elite in the portal, just crushing it in 216 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: the portal. They've of course got elite resources. And the 217 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: thing about Texas being at number five is you could 218 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: make the argument that you think their best is still 219 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: ahead of them, Like if you're doing the predictive thing, 220 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: if you're kind of cutting one eye over to the 221 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: side of twenty twenty six and beyond, there's still room 222 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: to climb for them. They really haven't realized their maximum 223 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: potential yet. So to be saying that about someone and 224 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,239 Speaker 1: they're sitting there. Number five hasn't been pretty good position. 225 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: I put Notre Dame at number six. I always get 226 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: pushed back on Notre Dame. You can't please anyone with 227 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Notre Dame number six program in the country 228 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: currently thirty four and seven the last three years. There's 229 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: a national championship berth mixed in there. Two years ago. 230 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: The recruiting keeps leveling up, like they were always a 231 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: very good recruiter, but they've kind of leveled up to 232 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: being a great recruiter. They had the number two class 233 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: in the country this last cycle. Per On three elite 234 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: culture could not think any more highly of the culture 235 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. You gotta love them this year. So again, 236 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: if you want to do the peak ahead thing when 237 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: you're defining a program's status, I'm not pushing back on 238 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: you if you say Notre Dame maybe should be a 239 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: tick higher. I think we got him right at number six, though, 240 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: first wheel breach of the show, yes, number seven. We 241 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: got Alabama at number seven. There was a little internal 242 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: debate here as well. Alabama the number seven program in 243 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: the country right now at thirty two to ten. Over 244 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: the past three years, You've got two playoff appearances there 245 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: at twenty three and twenty five. You got a conference 246 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: title in twenty twenty three. They've been the number two 247 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: recruiter in the nation over that three year span, and 248 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: there's been a handoff during that period from a legendary 249 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: head coach to a new head coach, and things didn't 250 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. You could say they regressed a 251 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: little bit, but I also argue there were some very 252 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: very unique challenges that weren't apparent on the surface, at 253 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: least to the handoff that came from Nick Saban stepping 254 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: away and handing it to anyone. It happened to be 255 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: Kaylin de Borr. So we're rolling three year snapshot here. 256 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: Alabama was never going to fall off overnight, even if 257 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: they did fall off, and I'm not suggesting that they are, 258 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: but it's important to remember now got him at number seven. 259 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: So if anyone pushes back, number seven's not number one, 260 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: number seven's not two or three. There are programs we 261 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: got ahead of Alabama right now. The reason I always 262 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: have to caveat with Bama and Notre Dame, it's because 263 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: Bama and Notre Dame are the two programs slash teams 264 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: that we always get the most wide variety of comments 265 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: for in any kind of video we do or any 266 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: kind of point we make about them. And you can 267 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: come up with your reasons as to why that is. 268 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: But I'll take Alabama at number seven right now. Where 269 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: would you put Miami was what we were asking ourselves earlier. Today, 270 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: I've got Miami as the number eight program in the 271 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: country currently. It's very tough to nail them down because 272 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: there's a seven win season factored in in the past 273 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: three years. We're valuing the past three years rolling blend 274 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: of the past three years when it comes to this. 275 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: But the thing about that seven win season is it 276 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: was in twenty twenty three, and then the following year 277 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: they went ten and three, and then the following year 278 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: aka this past year, they went thirteen and three. They 279 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: played for a national championship. They were at midfield, down 280 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: six with a minute to go in a chance to 281 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: win the thing against the best team in the country, 282 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: the eventual national champ in Indiana. They're the number one 283 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: recruiter in their conference by a wide margin. They're the 284 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: top portal player in their conference, in one of the 285 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: top portal players in the country, and they've made big 286 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: staff upgrades. You talk about organizational structure. Okay, they had 287 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: Lance Gidry down there as their defensive coordinator, not close, 288 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: and then Mario goes to Minnesota and gets Corey Heathman 289 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: and immediately, just overnight using some of the same players 290 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: they had the year before, they're one of the top 291 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: defenses in the country. So I think they're leveling up. 292 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: They're in the process of leveling up. I put Miami 293 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: at number eight right now. I'd say the same thing 294 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: about the next program. We got Texas A and M 295 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: at number nine, very similar vibe to Miami. Honestly, Miami 296 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: beating them in the playoff last year was probably the 297 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: tiebreaker we needed to put Miami ahead of them. These 298 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: are very comparable programs though, so A and M same 299 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: vibe as Miami. They've gone from seven wins to eight 300 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: wins to eleven wins in that three year rolling period 301 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: they went to the playoff last year. They've got back 302 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: to back top eight recruiting classes. They are a very 303 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: very elite portal player in their own right. And Mike 304 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: Elko when he was at Duke and then when he 305 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: came to Texas A and M. Two of the things 306 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: that we were counting on when we talked about it 307 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: on this show was they will evaluate very good, they'll 308 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: develop very good. The benefit to go into A and 309 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: M is you get this massive pool of resources just 310 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: tossed in the mix, and so that doesn't hurt. And 311 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: I think much like Texas really that I was talking 312 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: about a second ago, you could argue their best is 313 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: still ahead of them, so it's going to be really 314 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: fun to watch them moving forward. And then at number ten, 315 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: had a lot of programs in the mix. Here. We 316 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: could have put Tennessee here, we could have put Texas 317 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: Tech here. You could make some outside arguments for maybe 318 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: an LSU or in Oklahoma or a Penn State could 319 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: be in that mix. I put Michigan at number ten. 320 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: Still I care about the rolling three year blend. That's 321 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: why we're trying to factor that in when we define 322 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: program instead of just what did you do in the 323 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: last five minutes in the last three years. Yes, Michigan 324 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: has had a coaching change, but I would argue it's 325 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: a weird factor because they upgraded at head coach as 326 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: part of that coaching change. But there's a national championship 327 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: mixed in in the last three years. There's a two 328 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: to one record against your biggest rival in Ohio State 329 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: in the past three years. They're a top fifteen recruiter 330 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: in the past three years. It's a big year coming 331 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: up now. The difference with them versus some of these 332 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: other teams is some of these other teams you look 333 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: in you feel pretty good that they're about to kill 334 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: it this upcoming year. I feel great about Notre Dame 335 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: this upcoming year. I feel okay about Michigan. I mean, 336 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: you really got to take advantage of Bryce Underwood while 337 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: you have him, and they're trying everything they can. But 338 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: I put Michigan still at number ten. That's how much 339 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: we value, you know, things like winning a championship and 340 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: being very competitive, if not better than your rival over 341 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: a rolling three year stretch. See here's the difference. The 342 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: difference is, if you're just judging teams Michigan two and one, 343 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: how could they be ten with Ohio State at one. Well, 344 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: because of those other factors outweigh the on field head 345 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: to head as much as on field results or what 346 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: it's about. That's how you grade teams. We're grading programs 347 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,479 Speaker 1: here so there's more to it than just that. Like 348 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: I said, we'd put Texas Tech. There, couldn't argue with that. Tennessee. 349 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: I put it twelve Texas Tech and Tennessee would be 350 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: my eleven and twelve probably have LSU somewhere close Oklahoma, 351 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: Penn State. So those are the program rankings. Send them out, 352 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: send them in. Can't wait to get the feedback. Always 353 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: constructive feedback, you'll notice, yes, always constructive feedback. It'll sound 354 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: a little something. I'm not hating on people. We have 355 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: fun with this. I'm just saying the most popular form 356 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: of feedback we would get on this is let's take 357 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: A and M for example. A and m's way too low. Period. 358 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: That's it. You're crazy for having Oregon where you do. Period. 359 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: There is no follow up with here's how the entire 360 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: top ten should look. This is a comparative thing. You 361 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: can't just hate Oregon and say Organ's overrated. What are 362 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: they rated? What should they be rated? Who should be 363 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: above them? Do you define the criteria the same as 364 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: I do. If you don't, we're having separate, separate arguments here. 365 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: One argument we should all agree on is quick trip 366 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: is great. Quick trip one of the things that makes 367 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: this country great. Now, I had to head out from 368 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: Nashville and drive all the way to Hot Springs, Arkansas. 369 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: I didn't have to, I got to, but anyway, we 370 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: did that. This past week we went to the Broils 371 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: Award there more on that later and stopped at three 372 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: Quick Trips on the way and two Quick Trips back 373 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: and it was a great time. Cold brew on tap 374 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: every step of the way, reasonably priced gasoline every step 375 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: of the way. You know that they fueled the fall. 376 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: Don't lie to her this entire year. And the t 377 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,959 Speaker 1: shirt commemorating said tour can be found right now at 378 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: petstatemateial dot com. Let me get out of the way 379 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: there so you can see the beautiful graphic the guys made. Look, 380 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: there are very few relationships between show and brand as 381 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: the one that we have with Quick Trip. I go 382 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: as first to say it's almost romantic given the nature 383 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: of this weekend. Almost romantic. I don't know legally if 384 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: we can claim that, but we have a lot of 385 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: fun with them. They're the presenting partner of the show. 386 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what more you can say. You really 387 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: need to go to Quick Trip when you get an opportunity, 388 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: let's continue. I hate the piece of paper that I 389 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: hold in my hand right now because it's February and 390 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to be talking about this. But apparently 391 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: you guys do, because by the hundreds we got asked 392 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: about it, maybe thousands. I stopped counting. Douglas from Glen Allen, Virginia, 393 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: he said, what did you make of Pete Thamil's article 394 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: for the twenty four team college football playoff that the 395 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 1: big tennis pushing. I'm sure it got you excited, it 396 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: got me something. It did get me something. Now, I 397 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: did make a solemn vow to you over the past month, 398 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: and I said, when we went back and we looked 399 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: at all of our content from last year, we noticed 400 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: that there was a strong negative tilt in these months 401 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: that casuals would call the offseason. Because the theory is 402 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: only diehards are really living, eating, sleeping, and breathing college 403 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: football twelve months a year. We consider ourselves among that crew. 404 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 1: Since you don't have games happening in February, March, April, May, June, 405 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: you're kind of left to just talk about what's wrong. 406 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: And we fell victim to that. I thought we fell 407 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: victim to that a little bit last year. And so 408 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: I told you guys, it's not that we're going to 409 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: ignore what's happening in college football, but we're going to 410 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: try and stay away from doom and glooming folks. No 411 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: need for it. It's the greatest sport on the face 412 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: of the earth, even with all of its blemishes. But 413 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: I cannot ignore this. Oh, I just want to float 414 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: a stat to you and if you've missed what was 415 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: being asked there. Pete tham all Over on ESPN got 416 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: a hold of an internal document that's being circulated around 417 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: the Big Ten where Tony Pettiti and his crew up there, 418 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: that's the commissioner of the Big Ten. They are really 419 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: really all in on this twenty four team college football playoff, 420 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: which of course would be a disaster. That's my personal 421 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: thought on it. I hate it. And just to give 422 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: you an idea of what we're talking about here in 423 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: this format, Oklahoma State would be a seven time college 424 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: football Playoff participant over the past twelve years. Whatever you 425 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: think about Oklahoma State, do they strike you as a 426 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: team that should have been to the playoffs over half 427 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: a dozen times in the past twelve years? My answer 428 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: is no. Maybe your answer is yeah. I would imagine 429 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: most people in Stillwater, Oklahoma don't think they should have 430 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: been to the playoffs seven times in the last twelve years. 431 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: But I digress. You can go read Themial's article. I mean, 432 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: it's not like an opinion, it's not a column. He 433 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: got a hold of a document and shared the information. 434 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: So for that, we're appreciative. I hate every bit of it, 435 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: but we're appreciative of it. So one thing that you'll 436 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: notice as you go and read that article is you'll 437 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: notice the internal document name. Every internal document that gets socialized, 438 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: as they say, it has to have a name. It 439 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: can just be unnamed doc. It has to have a name. 440 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: And according to that article, the unnamed document is called 441 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: quote a twenty four team CFP format compromise. You hear 442 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: that word compromise. Now you may be thinking to yourself, 443 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: twenty four teams is not a compromise. That's insane. That's all 444 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: the way to the left or all the way to 445 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: the right on the spectrum of believability or logic or 446 00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: anything that competitively should exist in college football. Who could 447 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: have seen this coming, Who could have seen the Big 448 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: Ten touting a twenty four team playoff and calling it 449 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: a compromise. Well, as I sometimes need to remind you 450 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: you're not wasting your time watching this show, So I 451 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: want to briefly take you back to last August. Last August, 452 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: I think also Pete family at that point reported that 453 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: the Big Ten was exploring playoff expansion. But you know what, 454 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: it didn't stop at twenty four. There was a twenty 455 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: eight team proposal thrown in there. Now at the time, 456 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: your uncle Josh here took to the microphone and I 457 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: said the following. So the Big Ten had an idea 458 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: they wanted a sixteen team playoff. How do you get 459 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: a bad idea across the finish line to people who 460 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: hate the bad idea? And the answer is give them 461 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: an infinitely worse idea. So let's say your uncle Frederick says, oh, 462 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: family vacation time this year. You know where we're going? 463 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: Spin the globe, say Lewis, Missouri for the entire week. 464 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to vacation in Saint Louis, Missouri. What is 465 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: Uncle Frederick to do? Buy tickets for the entire family 466 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: to go to Key West. He can't afford it. So 467 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: what Uncle Frederick does to make the bad idea seem 468 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: less bad, as he says, fine, we're going to Kosovo. 469 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: See how you like that, And then the kids start crying, 470 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: and then Uncle Frederick sits, there's stone walls for a 471 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: little while, and they cry and they cry and they crying, 472 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: and goes, Okay, Saint Louis it is, and the kids 473 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: are dumb enough to say, all right, I guess that's 474 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: not so bad. It is bad. Nobody wants to vacation 475 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. But when Kosovo's put on the table 476 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: as if it's actually a legitimate option that Uncle Frederick 477 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: is actually considering, go no, no, give us Saint Louis. 478 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: The two most popular bits of feedback I got on 479 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: that is what's your problem with Saint Louis. I've got 480 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: no problem with Saint Louis. It's just not a vacation destination. 481 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: And secondly, I had a big ten athletic director. I 482 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: went at it with him. I don't want to name 483 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: who it was, but I went at it with him 484 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: in good spirits. Okay, we shook hands and smiled at 485 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: the end of the day. But he was adamant, that's 486 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: not what we're doing. That's not what we're doing at all. No, No, 487 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: we're steadfast behind this thing. We're serious about it. Well, 488 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: you can't be serious about it because it's not even 489 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: a serious proposal. I don't doubt that you're serious about it. 490 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't doubt that you feel it. But it's not 491 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: a serious proposal. It's a pile of crap that got 492 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: dropped in everyone's lap. And I just want look. If 493 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: you're a sound bite person, I hope the sound bite 494 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: will do. If you're more of a snapshot person, Bradley, 495 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: show me what this playoff would have looked like. Many 496 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: of you that grew up in the nineties early two 497 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: thousands may have seen the movie Basketball from the creators 498 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: of South Park, and it just it blended the principles 499 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: of baseball and basketball, and it started as a sport 500 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: they played in their way, and they turn it into 501 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: a major League of basketball. Funny part about Basketball was 502 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: that they had this absurd, massive playoff bracket that you 503 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: had to zoom out to be able to see. And 504 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: they had like the East South Northwestern Division two man 505 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: sack race on consecutive Sundays if there's a tie at 506 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: the end of it, and I'm just telling you everyone 507 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: laughed at it the time. The Big Ten gets us 508 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: closer and closer every day to a true basketball situation. 509 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: We are drifting further from God's grace and closer to 510 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: basketball every single time the Big Ten floats a new 511 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: college football playoff proposal. You won't be too shocked, I 512 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: would imagine to discover that coaches and ads largely support 513 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: this in the Big Ten. I bet they do. You 514 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: know where else most of them would largely support it, 515 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: the SEC and everywhere. You know why coaches an ad 516 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: support it because it's not their job to look out 517 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: for the best interest of college football slash college athletics. 518 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: It's their job to keep their job if they're coaches, 519 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: and it's an athletic director's job to be able to 520 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: tout success. And what better way to tout success than man, 521 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: we've made the playoffs seven times in the past twelve years, 522 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: Because if you're the AD at Oklahoma State, you'd be 523 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: able to accurately say that if this had always been 524 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: the format. Mike Gundhy would have been able to accurately 525 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 1: say that if this had always been the format. Now, 526 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: the reality is the effort that was put forth that 527 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: ended up getting people fired at Oklahoma State still would 528 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: have been the same effort that had been put forth. 529 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: It's just when we changed the dynamics and we changed 530 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: the way we define success or we just made the 531 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: playoff big enough where everyone could be included. All of 532 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: a sudden, your Wikipedia page looks a little bit different. 533 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he's made the playoffs six times in the 534 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: last eight years. What a stud No. No, Actually, he 535 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: may have a program that's perennially recruited in the top ten, 536 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: but he's perennially finished outside the top fifteen. The guy's underachieving, 537 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: and by every historical metric, we would call that underachievement. 538 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: Until someone walks in with a twenty fourteen playoff. All 539 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're the nineteen seed. Congrats man, you've 540 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: made the playoff. Only an idiot falls for that, But 541 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: then again, most people who float these kind of proposals 542 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: out there think you are an idiot. What you will notice, though, 543 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: is once upon a time when they would float playoff expansion, 544 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: they used to talk about fan excitement. They used to 545 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: talk about doing it for fans, you remember that, And 546 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: they never really talked about what the players wanted, But 547 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: they talked about the fans. You know, when they expanded 548 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: from four to twelve, they talked about the fans, because 549 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: even though I didn't want expansion, then it is true 550 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: most fans supported expansion from four to Well, they would 551 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: probably have preferred eight, but even four to twelve, the 552 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: general public preferred twelve over four. Let me tell you 553 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: something about the general public. I know the general public 554 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: very well. I converse with them daily. The general public 555 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: watches the show. The general public hates this to a 556 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: super majority extent. And that's why you never hear fans 557 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: talked about as the motivation for expanding the playoff anymore. 558 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: What's the motivation? Well, the motivation is, of course money. 559 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: Money being a motivator is not inherently a bad thing. 560 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: It is a bad thing when you've got a group 561 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: of people that lack any kind of creativity and any 562 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: kind of ingenuity, and they can't come up with a 563 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: good idea if their lives dependent on it. So they 564 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: just look at the atm over there that's disguised as 565 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: a playoff, and their only answer to get themselves out 566 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: of financial issues that they created for themselves is to 567 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: just print more money. Or in college football terms, make 568 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: the playoff bigger. That's it. That's the only idea to 569 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: save college football. Every time you get in a little 570 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: bit of a trouble financially, just make the playoff bigger, 571 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: Make the playoff bigger. Well, Josh, what would you do? Well? 572 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: How would you fix it? Well? I'm not the commissioner, yep, 573 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: but let me just float this to you. Let's say 574 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: I am the college football commissioner. One of the first 575 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: things I would try and do is burn every bit 576 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: of equity I have, and burn every resource necessary to 577 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: wrap every major media rights deal that exists in this 578 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: sport as soon as possible. And I know what the 579 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: ink says on some of those contracts, but I also 580 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: know what desperation does to contracts, and I try and 581 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: wrap those things as soon as possible so that every 582 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: major conference is sitting here wide open. Could be twenty 583 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: twenty eight, could be twenty twenty nine. I probably if 584 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: I ever needed to use private equity money in this sport, 585 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: I'd use it to bridge the gap between now and them, 586 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: and I'd renegotiate a college football media rights deal just 587 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: like the NFL's done. Instead of each of these conferences 588 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: being siloed off in their own media rights deals, come together. 589 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't care if you hate each other. If you 590 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: want to rid yourselves your financial issues, then come together 591 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: and sign a deal that brings you three or four 592 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: x the value that your current individual media rights deals do. Also, 593 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: as just a fun little byproduct of that, it may 594 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: greatly ease the concerns that you keep having when you 595 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: try and get agreement and cooperation from Congress about hoarding 596 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: and about about inability to distribute money properly. If all 597 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden you got three four x revenue and 598 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: it's bleeding down, and not just SEC or Big ten 599 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: players are benefiting from it, but a player there at 600 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: sam Houston State or a player there at Missouri State, 601 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: they're benefiting from it too. Just a sidebar, it's not 602 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: really what we're talking about here. So how about exploring 603 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: more things like that and trashing more things like this? 604 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: Those would be my humble thoughts. They're watching us in Rossville, Georgia, Troy, 605 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: New York, San Diego, California. Thank you so much for 606 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: being tuned in. I didn't even bother going over all 607 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: the normal reasons I'm against playoff expansion, those are some 608 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: new ones. Let's see. Paul is in Pittsburgh. He said, 609 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: I saw Paul Finebom say Bama and Ohio State are 610 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: likely to cancel their regular season series? Is this a 611 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: trend we will see moving forward? So I did not 612 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: actually see this, I heard did it happen? So I 613 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: don't know where Paul was when he said this, but 614 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: he said something along the lines of, if what he's 615 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: heard out of Alabama is true, they may be looking 616 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: to cancel their upcoming home and home with Ohio State, 617 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: which I believe is in twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight, 618 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: so it would be a year after this upcoming year. 619 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: And Paul's asking, is that something that's going to be 620 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: the norm? And I'd say probably. It's maybe a case 621 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: by case thing, but I'd say probably, Paul. If you've 622 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: got SEC schools that scheduled home and homes out of 623 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: conference when they used to play eight conference games and 624 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: now they're going to play nine conference games, yeah, I 625 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: would imagine you would see some of that at least. Also, 626 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: I went and looked at least one of those years, 627 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: Jesse and Bama play in Oklahoma State too, so they 628 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: still have they got nine league games and still have 629 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: a major out of conference game. If they played Ohios date, 630 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: it would have been an eleven of them. No one's 631 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: doing that. It's totally impractical. So it'd be fun to watch, 632 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: but it would be totally impractical. You remember for a 633 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: long time, if you've watched the show, or if you've 634 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: listened to the show for a long time. I appreciate that. 635 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: And if you've watched or listened for a long time, remember, 636 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: Probably the single biggest beef I've had with the whole 637 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: concept of the Playoff Committee is that I have never 638 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: believed they properly account for strength of schedule and strength 639 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: of record. I don't think they properly define it, and 640 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: I always pushed for an overhaul of the way they 641 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: define strength of record strength of schedule and incorporate much 642 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: more of a Vegas profile about that. And what I 643 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: meant by that is I wish we had an environment 644 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: where we really understood like a Texas last year, for example, 645 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 1: they play Ohio State Week one, Well, they lose the game, 646 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: and there's a mentality that looks at them and says, 647 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: oh they're ohe to one man. Well, win's a win. 648 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: A loss is a loss. It's so stupid to think 649 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: that way in college football, in college football specifically, but 650 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: kind of college athletics too, but especially college football. It's 651 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: not pro football. You are not what your record says. 652 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: You are merely in college football. But that's kind of 653 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: the way people think. And even when the committee said, O, 654 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: we're going to overhaul our protocols and the way we 655 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: go about defining that, they really didn't all that much. 656 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question. I try and 657 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: stay away from this debate because truthfully, very few people 658 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: are capable of having this debate. Logically, it just devolves 659 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,479 Speaker 1: into a crap throwing fest between SEC fan and Big 660 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: ten fan, and everyone's carrying a torch and pitch fork 661 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: for one or the other. It just gets stupid. But 662 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: let me try here, not even necessarily taking a side 663 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: on this. Like, personally, I love that the SEC went 664 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: to nine league games, but I get someone who has 665 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: a problem, and I certainly get someone who's opting out 666 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: of future out of conference games because they went to nine. 667 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: I don't have to love it to understand it. In 668 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: other words, but let me ask you a question about 669 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: Texas last year. This will kind of determine how you 670 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: land on this whole debate. Do you think Texas cost 671 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: themselves a playoff spot by scheduling Ohio State last year 672 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: and losing the game? I understand that's an important follow 673 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: up and losing the game. So do you believe Ohio 674 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 1: State or do you believe Texas cost themselves a playoff 675 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: spot by scheduling Ohio State and losing that game last year? 676 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: I think the answer is yes. Sark thinks the answer 677 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: is yes. Obviously, there are many people who think the 678 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,479 Speaker 1: answer is no. There are many people who would push 679 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: back on that, say no, because they still had plenty 680 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: of opportunity to make the playoffs. After that game was over, 681 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: they were only zero to one. They still had a 682 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: whole season left ahead of them. They shouldn't have gone 683 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: and lost to Florida. They shouldn't have gone and lost 684 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: to Georgia. Well, it's true that had they not lost 685 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: to Florida or Georgia, they would have made the playoff 686 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: even with the Ohio State loss. However, if you keep 687 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: both of the conference losses and remove Ohio State and 688 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: put UTEP or well, UTEP was on the schedule, so 689 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: put someone else. I don't know to put. I always 690 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: say Sam Houston State, and they get pissed at me. 691 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: So I don't want to do that anymore. So put 692 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: Arkansas State on there. Put Arkansas State in Week one 693 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: instead of Ohio State. Keep everything as is the remainder 694 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: of the way. Give me their two losses. Where's Texas 695 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. They're in the playoff. 696 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: They're in the playoff, so you could really make the 697 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: argument that, yeah, they cost themselves by scheduling up. Now, 698 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: someone like me looks at that and says, if I 699 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: were on the committee, I can't one hundred percent say 700 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: if Texas would have made the playoff, but I can 701 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: say Texas's profile would have been a lot more impressive 702 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 1: than the one the committee probably had spat out in 703 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: their piece of paper in their packet, by the way 704 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 1: they currently go about doing things. Cause my way of 705 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: doing things would be, I look at the fact that 706 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: they went and played Ohio State in Week one, What 707 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: were they one or two or something like that. Jesse 708 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: and I would have agreed with that. You voluntarily go 709 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: on the road to play the number one team in 710 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: the country to start the year, and you lose by 711 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 1: a possession to them. I'm not punishing you one bit. 712 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm rewarding Ohio State for beating you. But the worst 713 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna do is just draw a blank from me, 714 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: because I know what you could have done. I know 715 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: you easily could have scheduled Northern Arizona, and you can 716 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: especially do that as an SEC program because you know 717 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: the rest of your strength of schedule is going to 718 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 1: be more than enough. Then as long as you take 719 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: care of business, you'll be in. So Texas didn't have 720 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: to play that game. Now, if you listen to that 721 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: and say, oh, that's pathetic, they should do it anyway. 722 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that I agree with that, even though 723 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: the Texas Athletic director does. I give full credit to 724 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: Chris del Conte. He came out recently and just flat 725 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: out said, I don't even care if my head coach 726 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: doesn't like it. We're going to continue to schedule this 727 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: way because we think the fans deserve it. That's what 728 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: you come to Texas to do. And look, I wish 729 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: that attitude existed everywhere. That's my personal attitude, that's my 730 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 1: personal desire. I like that the SEC went to nine 731 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: league games. I'd love to still see Alabama and Ohio State. 732 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: I personally selfishly wanted. The question is, is that how 733 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: I'd operate if I were an athletic director. I don't 734 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: know that I would. It's largely contingent on the Playoff 735 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: Committee following through on what I always thought the SEC 736 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 1: should have demanded from them. The SEC's got a lot 737 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: of sway here, they got a lot of pull, and 738 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: I always thought the SEC probably moved a little too 739 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: quickly to that nine game league schedule without full guarantee 740 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: from the committee that they were going to properly factor 741 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: in strength of schedule and strength of record. And I 742 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: still don't think they do it. And there are a 743 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: lot of people in the SEC upset, There are a 744 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: lot of coaches in the SEC upset that they just 745 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: went They almost it's almost like they got baited into 746 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: going to nine league games. Now, there are many reasons 747 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 1: why they did it, but it doesn't matter what the 748 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: real reasons were. The perception is, y'all got made fun of, 749 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: and you took the bait, and you took the league 750 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: to nine conference games per year without any solid, tangible 751 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: guarantees from the committee that quote unquote understand it and 752 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: then take it into account strength of record, strength of 753 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: schedule will be properly weighted. And then you got another 754 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: growing class of people out there who just claims the 755 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: SEC schedule is really not anything it's cracked up to be, 756 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: and so what's the difference eight or nine? It's an 757 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: overrated conference to begin with. I kind of dismiss that, 758 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: like I still think the the average SEC league schedule 759 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 1: is the toughest league schedule you're gonna play in the 760 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: country on average. Now here's the thing about that. Nobody 761 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: plays an SEC schedule. Nobody plays a Big ten schedule. 762 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: A team plays their schedule. So Florida's schedule this year 763 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: and Missouri's schedule this year aren't the same. So it's 764 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: kind of lazy to say, oh, they're playing SEC schedules. No, 765 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: here's what we know. Each of the gonna play nine 766 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: SEC teams, and likewise, in the Big ten Maryland and 767 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: Ohio State they're gonna they're gonna play nine Big ten teams. 768 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: But you've got disparities still in strength to schedule there. 769 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: But I'll just tell you this, The answer is not 770 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 1: playoff expansion. The answer is not oh don't worry, Yeah, 771 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna play a tougher schedule, Your teams are gonna 772 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: average more losses. But we'll just expand the playoff and 773 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: we'll take care of it. No, urgency is still a 774 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: good thing. It's a very good thing. It's the bedrock 775 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: of what makes college football's regular season the best regular 776 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 1: season on the planet. But logic is okay too. It 777 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: is okay to come in and say, well, wait a second, now, 778 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 1: Texas had the stones to schedule Ohio State, and they've 779 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: got them again this year, by the way, when they 780 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: don't have to, and you're telling me because they lost 781 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: that game on the road by one possession, that was 782 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: just treated as a loss. Like, how many people did 783 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: you hear at the end of the season last year 784 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: say you can't let Texas in with three losses. Really, 785 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: it all still boils down to that win lost column. 786 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: It still all boils mostly, I'm gonna say mostly, It 787 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: still mostly boils down to your what your record says 788 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: you are. It is a tough mentality to divorce yourself from. 789 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: So if that's the way it's gonna be. I can't 790 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: hate on these athletic directors that opt out of these 791 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: out of conference games because I don't know that I 792 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 1: wouldn't do the same thing, even as I sit here 793 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,840 Speaker 1: selfishly behind his microphone and say, I hope none of 794 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: them do. Got bad news for you. There are no 795 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: college football games this month. Now the good news is, 796 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 1: and I've confirmed this with seat geek, there are several 797 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: concerts all over the country.

Yes, Hey, I got 813 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,480 Speaker 1: an idea for the rest of the show, maybe some 814 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: actual football talk. Yeah, our research indicates it does work. 815 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: Got a lot of quarterback battles we're looking at. Someone 816 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: asked us, you know, we're kind of trying to head 817 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: towards springing. Hey, which quarterback battles do you have your 818 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: eye on. I gotta think Alabama's is the most high 819 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: profile quarterback battle that's gonna happen here. And now, remember 820 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: when they played Indiana in the Rose Bowl. They got 821 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: smoked so bad and then Ty Simpson gets hurt and 822 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: he's out of the rest of the game. Who came in? 823 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 1: Austin Mack came in. Now, I got to tell you 824 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 1: what I was thinking. What I was thinking was, I 825 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: think Keelan Russell is the future of that program. Austin 826 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: Mack is gonna play a half in the playoffs here, 827 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: and it's basically his audition tape, and he didn't play bad, 828 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: and I was just sure that he was gonna go 829 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: in the portal. And it turns out Austin Mack kind 830 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: of loves to be at Alabama, so he stayed at Alabama, 831 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a really high profile quarterback battle 832 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: this spring. It is still my belief that Kielan Russell's 833 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna win that job. But that's just that's belief, and 834 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: that's me being really high on him as a player. 835 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: But I mean, Austin Mack is a really really good 836 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: player too, and I think that's gonna be one that's 837 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: looked at and there's gonna be a lot of people 838 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: who use like their own slant on things for whoever 839 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: loses the job. Let's say Austin mac finish his runner up. 840 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: Let's say he goes into the season as the backup quarterback. 841 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 1: There're gonna be a lot of folks who look at 842 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: it and say, oh, what a mistake on his part. 843 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,359 Speaker 1: The only mistake would be him doing what he didn't 844 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 1: want to do. That would be the mistake there. So 845 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,919 Speaker 1: let the man live his life, or maybe he wins 846 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: the job, you know, and then Keilan Russell is the 847 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: one who has to wait another year. What about Clemson, 848 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: Kate Klubnick's moving on, So we'll have our eye on 849 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: this one because they brought in Chad Morris at offensive 850 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 1: coordinator too, So Garrett Riley's out and Chris Vazina was 851 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,439 Speaker 1: a guy that we talked about several times a few 852 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: years back, and he came in and he was pretty 853 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: high profile recruit. He was number one fifty five overall 854 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,879 Speaker 1: per the ON three rankings in twenty twenty three. All right, 855 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: now he's immersed himself in the program. He's six', four 856 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: he's two. Ten he's ready to take the. Reins. NOW 857 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: i Know Chris dentson And Tate reynolds are, there but 858 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 1: it's It's Chris vazina's job to lose to. Me and 859 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: he played AGAINST smu last year seventeen and three touchdowns 860 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: in that. Game, AGAIN i don't know how much of 861 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: a battle this, becomes but it's a quarterback. SITUATION i 862 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: Guess i'd say THAT i have my eye On tennessee's 863 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: kind of the same way because At tennessee we got 864 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: to find out what's gonna happen With Joey. Aguilar because 865 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,359 Speaker 1: in today's college, football you don't just get to pick 866 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: up your preview magazine and find out who's in the. 867 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: Mix now you have to follow court, cases you. Know 868 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,840 Speaker 1: so Whatever Joey agilar, though that, situation like if he 869 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 1: gets granted another season of, eligibility he's the odds on 870 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: favorite obviously to win that. Job they brought In Ryan 871 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,879 Speaker 1: stobb From colorado as of, NOW i don't expect him 872 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: to be in the mix for the starting. Position But 873 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: george McIntyre And Fazing, brandon those are the ones who 874 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: are going to battle it. Out brandon comes in, there 875 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: give me true, freshman high profile, guy five star caliber, 876 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: guy And george McIntyre has been there a little while. 877 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: LONGER i think right, now if it's Not Joey, agilar 878 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: my guess If i'm throwing darts at a board In, 879 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 1: february is That george McIntyre EN's up winning that job 880 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: If Joey aguilar is not. There but the other thing 881 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,399 Speaker 1: you always got to pay attention to with legitimate five 882 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,800 Speaker 1: star caliber quarterback talent is it's one. Thing if the 883 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 1: guy's ready to play In, august that's, great but not 884 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 1: everything is just set in stone as it's always going 885 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,879 Speaker 1: to be by week, one especially if you're a true 886 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 1: freshman in your head, swimming sometimes the light comes on 887 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 1: in week five or week, Six So Faison brandon week 888 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: one versus the same guy in week eight could be 889 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 1: two totally different. Stories so that's something else to keep 890 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: our eye On nebraska had a very contentious situation there 891 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 1: for a little. While Dylan ryola transfers, out and then 892 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: it Was Kenny. Minschee Kenny minshei is going to be 893 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,439 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback At, nebraska and the graphics went out 894 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 1: and the announcement went, out and then all of a, 895 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 1: sudden the breaking news went. Out, no he's. Not he's 896 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 1: actually going To kentucky Will stein Will Stein Breaking hearts 897 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: And Lincoln. Nebraska so Then ANTHONY i call Him, calandria 898 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 1: but it could Be. Colindrea i'm A calandria. Guy he 899 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 1: comes in and they really really fell in love with 900 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: him now partly because they have to love. Him he 901 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 1: has to be the. Guy this has to work out because, 902 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: CANDIDLY i KNOW Tj latif stepped up last. YEAR i 903 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 1: Know Daniel kaylin's still. THERE i think for them to 904 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,319 Speaker 1: maximize any kind of potential as a team this, year 905 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna have to be Old ac. There if 906 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 1: we can go that far as to use initials In, 907 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: FEBRUARY i think it's got to be. Him and if you, 908 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: think if you think about the opening they have to 909 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 1: their Season Ohio Bowling Green North dakota At Michigan, State. 910 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 1: Maryland they don't play in all. LIKELIHOOD i guess they 911 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,399 Speaker 1: don't play a ranked opponent Until indiana comes in, there 912 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: and that's in the second week Of, october so there's. 913 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: TIME i actually didn't know that About nebraska's schedule Till 914 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: bradley threw it up, there so there's. Time what About. 915 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: DUKE i wanted to talk about this Because duke is 916 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: one one of Those they were a beneficiary of the 917 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: way the portal works a year. Ago now they're a 918 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,240 Speaker 1: victim of the way the portal. Works So dary And mensa, 919 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: leaves and it's very significant that he left first, off 920 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 1: because you lost your starting, quarterback but also because their 921 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: backup had already transferred, out Thinking i'm not going to 922 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 1: beat Out darry And mensa not knowing That mensa was 923 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 1: going to just disappear and go To. Miami so the 924 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: BACKUP wo had already, left so they had to go 925 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: To San Jose. State they Got Walter egitt Or Walker Egret. 926 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: Egoitt egret's an, animal, right, yeah never owned. One don't 927 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: know if they're legal In, nashville at least In david's 928 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 1: In County williams And county is a different that's a 929 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: different world down, there all kinds of exotic pet ownership down, 930 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 1: there but In Davidson, county no. Egrets, however At Duke 931 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 1: Walker eget he's there by way Of San Jose. State my, 932 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,799 Speaker 1: guess this is just a guess at this point is 933 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 1: that's probably the, guy but he still needs a, waiver 934 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 1: so we don't even know Many dias does not even 935 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: know if that's his guy. Yet and if if we're 936 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: Down Darien mensa and the backup and Then egot Or, 937 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: egret either one of them don't get a, waiver then 938 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,800 Speaker 1: what are we? Doing, well we're looking at a transfer 939 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: From North alabama and we're looking at a red shirt. Freshman, 940 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: translation not great vibes ahead For. Duke AND i also 941 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 1: want to put something else on your.

On and so 953 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,840 Speaker 1: there are many staffs that are moving forward with plans 954 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 1: to make moves after the spring period is, done with 955 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,320 Speaker 1: the thinking that as long as we can get a 956 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 1: kid enrolled in fall, SEMESTER ncaa is not going to 957 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: be able to stop.

Conference notre dame schedule is insanely soft this. 973 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 1: Year And i'm normally the one pushing back on people 974 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 1: who Say Notre dame doesn't play, anyone because most of 975 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 1: the time that's a. Lie most of the time people 976 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 1: are just hating On Notre. Dame Notre dame actually normally 977 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: plays legitimate. Schedules this is not one of those. Years, 978 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 1: now part of this IS. Usc that game, disappeared so 979 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 1: there is NO usc on the. Schedule here's what is 980 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 1: on this. Schedule one team in the top twenty of 981 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: The FanDuel odds to win the playoff one and That's, 982 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 1: miami and that's In, november and that's at.

Schedule those are the only teams in like 985 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 1: the top. Forty and then there's this massive cliff and 986 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,840 Speaker 1: it's just a bunch of produced And stanford's And navies 987 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,919 Speaker 1: And Boston colleges is In. Syracuses this is it's ridiculously, 988 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: soft to the point WHERE i could see a debate 989 00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 1: If Notre dame were to lose two games. Again in, 990 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 1: fact it wouldn't be a. Debate they probably missed the playoff. 991 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 1: Again the exciting follow up IS i Have Notre dame 992 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,359 Speaker 1: rated number one right now in my preseason, poll AND 993 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 1: i don't think they're going to lose two. Games so 994 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,919 Speaker 1: take that. Haters next, up what about The Big? TEN 995 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 1: i Think Penn. State Penn state's probably WHO i would 996 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 1: say has the easiest schedule in The Big ten this. 997 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 1: Year there's No Ohio, state there's No, oregon there's No. 998 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:30,280 Speaker 1: Indiana the out of conference is a complete. Joke Marshall 999 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: temple In. Buffalo there's no back to back road game. 1000 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,399 Speaker 1: Here they GET usc at, home and we are trying 1001 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,319 Speaker 1: to figure out what the whiteout's going to. Be no 1002 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 1: word on that. Yet, UNFORTUNATELY i do not have the 1003 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 1: power to just dictate what the white out game is 1004 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 1: going to. Be but that is a very workable. Schedule 1005 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 1: and listen To november At washington's not, EASY i will 1006 00:53:55,200 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: grant you. That But, Purdue, Washington, MINNESOTA Us, maryland those 1007 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:06,400 Speaker 1: are the final five games they. Play SO i Like 1008 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 1: Penn state's odds to sneak around the playoff bubble this, 1009 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: year even though it's year one and the ceiling of 1010 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,240 Speaker 1: that team is probably well beneath that of national title. 1011 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 1: Caliber but it's JUST i, mean it may be a 1012 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:22,439 Speaker 1: product schedule in year One. VANDERBILT i guess it's where 1013 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 1: we go in THE. Sec we. Look i've been one 1014 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,399 Speaker 1: to hate on the schedule and maker is a time 1015 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 1: or two in my. Day THE sec schedule maker this. 1016 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 1: Year AND i don't know if IT'S ai, GENERATED i don't, 1017 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: know if it's some dude whose name we don't. KNOW 1018 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 1: i don't know if it's a whole cabal of. People 1019 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,719 Speaker 1: they did a pretty good job of flattening out the 1020 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 1: easiest and hardest schedules in THE. Sec like, everyone everyone's 1021 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,160 Speaker 1: really really crunched. Together the REASON i Chose vanderbilt is 1022 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 1: their big out of conference game IS Nc state at, 1023 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: home so don't know what to expect from them. Necessarily 1024 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 1: but there's a long stretch everyone pretty much everyone only 1025 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,359 Speaker 1: has one by this, year so you're trying to find 1026 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 1: out where's the Buye and these teams are inevitably playing 1027 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,640 Speaker 1: a chunk of like seven or eight games in a 1028 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,319 Speaker 1: row at some Point Vandy, LIKEWISE i think they play 1029 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:16,799 Speaker 1: either seven or eight games in a row at one. 1030 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,280 Speaker 1: Point it's important to note that the last two teams 1031 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 1: on their long stretch Are arkansas And. Kentucky if you're 1032 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,399 Speaker 1: picking teams out of THE, sec those are probably two 1033 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 1: of the three or four that you would pick if 1034 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,280 Speaker 1: you could hand pick how to end your long. Stretch 1035 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: florida And auburn are on this. Schedule those are total wildcard. 1036 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 1: Teams they could win nine, games they could win five. 1037 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 1: Games if You're, vanderbilt obviously you're hoping for the. Latter 1038 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 1: So i'd Go vandy in THE. SEC i thought about 1039 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 1: going IN C state in THE acc because they don't 1040 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 1: Play miami Or louisville Or Florida, state they don't Play Notre. 1041 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 1: Dame Notre dame plays FIVE acc. Teams that's WHY i mentioned. 1042 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 1: Them they're big out of conference GAMES, ucla but IN 1043 00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 1: C state that travels not easy and they end the 1044 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 1: season with well no hold on. Cal col was the, 1045 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 1: one so take EVERYTHING i just said and that applies To. 1046 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 1: CAL i landed ON Nc state BECAUSE Nc states schedule 1047 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,400 Speaker 1: travel wise is not nearly as tough AS. Col so 1048 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: there you. Go N C. State also No, MIAMI Nc, 1049 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 1: state NO, smu also No Notre. Dame we think they 1050 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 1: probably stand to have the quarterback edge in every. GAME 1051 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 1: i could make the ARGUMENT. Cj bailey has the edge 1052 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 1: quarterback wise in every game they're going to play this. 1053 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 1: Year they play back to back road games to end the. 1054 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 1: Year but these are not long. Trips It's Florida state 1055 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: and It's North carolina for. Them side note Because North 1056 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 1: carolina look like by the end of the. Year and 1057 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,240 Speaker 1: then in The Big, twelve this is very. Easy Texas 1058 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 1: tech is far and away the best program slash team 1059 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,480 Speaker 1: in The Big twelve right, now and they cannot play, 1060 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 1: themselves so you will not See Texas tech On Texas tech. Schedule, 1061 00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 1: now this is cutting edge analysis That i'm giving you right. 1062 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 1: Now But tech tex got the, softest, easiest whatever you 1063 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,439 Speaker 1: want to call it schedule in The Big twelve because number, 1064 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,359 Speaker 1: one they don't play themselves and number, two they don't 1065 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 1: Play Brigham. YOUNG i don't need to go any further than. 1066 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 1: That there could be some fine forensic analysis of, this 1067 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: Like Pete mundo and the guys who covered The Big, 1068 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,799 Speaker 1: twelve they could break this down. Further i'm just telling, 1069 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 1: you there's No Texas tech Or Brigham young on the. 1070 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,880 Speaker 1: Schedule that's gonna qualify as the easiest schedule in The big. 1071 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 1: Twelve let's move. Along, sorry just looking at text, there 1072 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: we had A i would say a concerning question From Winston, 1073 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 1: Salem North.

Playoff you were right. There you 1089 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,000 Speaker 1: were one of the first two or three teams. Out 1090 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 1: now there is that small matter of going four and 1091 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 1: eight last. Year, yes that's not. Great, no that doesn't 1092 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 1: make anyone feel. Good and it doesn't matter that you 1093 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 1: almost beat them or you almost beat that. TEAM i get. 1094 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,120 Speaker 1: That So Shane beemer about to enter a sixth, season, 1095 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: right seven, wins eight, wins five, wins nine, wins four. 1096 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 1: WINS i know What indiana has done to. Everyone indiana 1097 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: has poisoned the reign of everyone because everyone is now 1098 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,479 Speaker 1: saying If indiana can do, it we should be able 1099 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,480 Speaker 1: to do, it WHICH i would say is kind of 1100 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 1: disrespectful to What indiana. Did BUT i do get the. 1101 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 1: Point the point is, taken total offense last year fell 1102 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,680 Speaker 1: off a. Cliff it went from forty fifth to one oh. 1103 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 1: Nine they were one hundred and thirty first in sacks 1104 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: allowed last. Year so here's what they have to. DO 1105 00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 1: i Mentioned indiana for a reason, there partly because they 1106 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,600 Speaker 1: just won the national title and made everyone look. Foolish 1107 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 1: but the other part is everyone's got a theory about 1108 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 1: Why indiana won last year and Why indiana's flying at 1109 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,320 Speaker 1: the level they are right. Now and some people, say, 1110 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: oh they got a bunch of old, players and other people, say, 1111 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,400 Speaker 1: well most people just flat out pointed out the experience 1112 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 1: level last, year and, YEAH i mean that was a 1113 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:49,400 Speaker 1: big beneficiary for. Them here's what they. Did they found. 1114 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 1: Edges they found program. Edges that's what everyone has to, 1115 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 1: do unless You're texas and you just get to cherry 1116 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 1: pick the best players in the country every. Year unless 1117 01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:06,120 Speaker 1: You're oregon Or georgia or Like Ohio. State these teams 1118 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 1: that just get to cherry pick and fill their roster 1119 01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 1: with the best players in the country every, year you 1120 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,320 Speaker 1: got to get creative and you've got to find program. 1121 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 1: Edges And i'm a full. Believer i'm firmly convinced that 1122 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:23,560 Speaker 1: the Way Kurt signetti Runs indiana has found them a 1123 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 1: few edges that they have unique To, indiana and that 1124 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: when you add them all, up the cumulative effect of 1125 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 1: small edges ends up pouring out what you saw them 1126 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,840 Speaker 1: achieve on the field last. Year that's the lesson people 1127 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,840 Speaker 1: should be learning From indiana right. Now it's not let's 1128 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,840 Speaker 1: go get a bunch of twenty three year. Olds it's 1129 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:47,560 Speaker 1: let's define our. Edges, okay So indiana DOES. Abc how 1130 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 1: do we do def better than? Anyone how do we 1131 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 1: find a way to where someone thinks about something and they, say, 1132 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: oh That's South carolina's, thing, Man South carolina's perfected that 1133 01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: this could go for. Anyone but that's kind of what 1134 01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 1: you can do, there because you can't possibly think that 1135 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 1: you're about to start acquiring talent at a top ten. Level, 1136 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,880 Speaker 1: look they went and got You carry's peak best tackle 1137 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 1: available in the. Portal that's. Wonderful and they do Have 1138 01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: Dylan stewart, there and they do Have Leonora sellers. There 1139 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,560 Speaker 1: they got great players. There they don't have a great, 1140 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 1: roster but they've got great. Players. Now they got a 1141 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: good enough roster to improve a four and, EIGHT i 1142 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 1: promise you. That but they shook up the offensive coaching. 1143 01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,680 Speaker 1: Staff there's a new, Coordinator Kendall browles is. There by the, 1144 01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 1: way in case you had me keeping, score running backs, 1145 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,920 Speaker 1: coach offensive line. Coach they have to find. Edges AND 1146 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 1: i say that generically Because i'm not claiming to be 1147 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:42,440 Speaker 1: coming to you with the specific edges. Tonight that, IS 1148 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,880 Speaker 1: i have always argued one of a few Reasons Shane 1149 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 1: biemer gets paid way more than we.
