1 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: I know a lot of your men I probably should leave. 2 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: I know a lot of your probably should be I 3 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: probably would be a buyer you. 4 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: Let's just talk this string. 5 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are coming here. 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 3: To watching live fresh off college football playoff rankings. And 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: by the way, we are live. We are presented by 8 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 3: Academy Sports Outdoors. Tuesday night, December third, the year of 9 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 3: our lower twenty twenty four. We're high a tap of 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 3: frozen downtown Nashville, Tennessee. We're all just trying to make 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 3: sense of it. People had theories whether Bama's gonna be in, 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 3: whether South Carolina is hot enough, what's gonna happen if 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 3: SMU loses and they're still gonna be in after Saturday. 14 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 3: I'll dive into it all. We got no time constraints 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 3: on this here's show. We got no heart outs, as 16 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: they would say in the business. So I'm gonna react 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 3: to the playoff rankings. I have several thoughts just like 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: you do. Doesn't always mean you're bias, doesn't always mean 19 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: you're a hater. You may just flat out have logic 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: based thoughts that someone else disagrees with. 21 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: It has happened before. 22 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 3: But also It's Tuesday night, the week of conference championship week, 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: and lest we forget what rankings are all about, They're 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: all about games played, or so. 25 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: They tell us. 26 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 3: We got big games this coming Saturday, so I'm predicting 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: them all on the show tonight. I in the midst 28 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 3: of all this chaos, am going to release a brand 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 3: new JP pole tonight. And the transfer portal's doing its thing, 30 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: some big rumblings today even as we're coming on air, 31 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 3: Like Jesse's in my ear well, in my ear piece 32 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 3: a few minutes ago, just get me updated. Matt Zenitz 33 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: is saying this, so and so saying that it's. 34 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: A lot to track guys. 35 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 3: Oh and by the way, Christmas is around the corner, 36 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 3: so do your shopping preferably at academy. We got a 37 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: lot to talk about. But also, you know what's happening 38 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: on tonight's show. The Joe Moore Award finalists are being announced. 39 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: As I now call it the only relevant award in 40 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: college football my words, not theirs. So we have got 41 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: a jam packed show. We could go three hours. I won't, 42 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: but I could go three hours. They're watching us in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 43 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: where I was yesterday. Yes, a couple of you talk 44 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 3: to me in the airport. 45 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: It was me. I was there. 46 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 3: Can't exactly tell you why I can. I went to 47 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: talk to James Franklin for CBS this Saturday, but I 48 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: was there. I was not in Johnson City, Tennessee. But 49 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: they're watching us there. San Juan, Puerto Rico is tuned 50 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: in Alexandria, Virginia's tune in. I have a question as 51 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: we open tonight's show. It's gonna be very quick. I've 52 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: got to get feedback from you guys. I'll look at 53 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: the live chat after the show's over, I'll look at 54 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 3: the comment section. But I need your feedback because I 55 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: let you determine the direction of the show. I enjoy 56 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: going back and forth with people, whether it be on Twitter, 57 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: whether it be in the comment section. I've got nothing 58 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: else to do. This is not my hobby. This is 59 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: my actual job. So I've got plenty of time to 60 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: converse with you guys. Some of you disagree with me 61 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: on stuff, some of you don't. When someone disagrees with 62 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: me and they take like personal shots at me, I 63 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: go back and forth with them. 64 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't care. 65 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's college football, and 66 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: you can't hurt my feelings, so it doesn't really matter 67 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 3: what you say about me. But I do enjoy going 68 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 3: back and forth. My question to you is, do you 69 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 3: want me to weave that into the show, Like, do 70 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: you want me to instead of doing that on Twitter, 71 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: to do it on the show because some of you, 72 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 3: I think will say yes. Who knows, maybe a lot 73 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: of you will say yes. But every time I go 74 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: down that road, I do get comments to the effect of, man, 75 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: stop worrying about those people. That's not why I tune 76 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: into the show. That's not the content I want. So 77 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: I got to I got to gauge the audience on that. 78 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: You guys, let me know what you think, cause there's 79 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: no shortage of haters out there. Peters versus haters segment 80 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: idea maybe, but yeah, let me know, cause I can 81 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: do it. We could take the entirety of January if 82 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: we wanted to, and we could do it. But in 83 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: the meantime tonight college football playoff rankings just got dropped. 84 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: This was kind of it. This is kind of it. 85 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: It sucked a lot of. 86 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: The drama, not all of it, but a lot of 87 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: the drama out of next Sunday, I guess it would be. 88 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: So here's the situation. There was a lot of talk. 89 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 3: There's a lot of arguing and just bickering and fighting 90 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: and accusations, hurtful accusations being thrown based on what your 91 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 3: opinion was of where South Carolina was gonna fall, Miami 92 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: was gonna fall, Old Miss was gonna fall, Alabama was 93 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: gonna fall. So now we know they just dropped. If 94 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: you're watching live and you know you've been living your life, 95 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: you're just getting off work. It's a good news if 96 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 3: you're an Alabama fan. It's terrible news if you're a 97 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 3: South Carolina, Old Miss or Miami fan. Because the latter 98 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: three are out, you are not going to go to 99 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: the playoff. I have no idea how you would go 100 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: to the playoffs. So South Carolina is done as far 101 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: as the playoff is concerned. Ole Miss done as far 102 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: as the playoff is concerned. I would think Miami is 103 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 3: done as far as the playoff is concerned. I listened 104 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: to Ward Manual and what he said. I'm always careful 105 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 3: though the whole never say never. Alabama is in. If 106 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: some stuff happens, like one thing I think needs to 107 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: happen for them. So there was a lot of really 108 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: like nasty, vitriolic conversation about this this week, which I 109 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: both participated in and laughed at. You guys who follow 110 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: me on socials saw a lot of this. To preface 111 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: all this with this is a playoff I didn't want. 112 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: So I'm not getting too worked up about whether you're 113 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: the thirteen seed or the twelve seed like it. If 114 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 3: you're even in that conversation, then you have long since 115 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 3: removed your right to really hardcore lobby like that was 116 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: long ago when you were a one loss team or 117 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: a two loss team. 118 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: That's when you could do that. 119 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: If you're a three loss team and you're in, great, 120 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: if you're out a well, But I was never gonna 121 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: allow myself to be sucked into the blank. 122 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: And it's not even close, and I was looking at 123 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: a lot of that. 124 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 3: I was looking at folks telling me South Carolina should 125 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 3: be in and it's not even close. Alabama should be 126 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: in and it's not even close. Ton of Miami and 127 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: it's not even close. It's close. It's are you people crazy? 128 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: Of course it's close if you if you've lost two 129 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: or three games and in Miami's case, if you've lost 130 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: a couple of games, but then you got by by 131 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 3: the skin of your teeth against Virginia Tech and like 132 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: cal I mean, if you blew a twenty one point 133 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 3: lead like five minutes ago. Yes, it's close, and in 134 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: the end or the semi end, the committee has decided 135 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 3: out of all that, out of all the wreckage, they're 136 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: gonna pluck Alabama. Okay, that's the way I would have 137 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: guessed it would have gone. I don't have a massive 138 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 3: issue with it. A lot of people when I've done 139 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: radio hits recently, they've said, okay, but who would you pick? 140 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: I did Ray. You know, I did two live hits 141 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: with Canal today. What am I doing? I need a secretary, 142 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: that's what I need. 143 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: Anyway, I did two different hits with Canal today and 144 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: they were asking back and forth, forget about the committee. 145 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: If you were putting teams in the playoff based on 146 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: your own criteria, who would be in. Well, I wouldn't 147 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: have Bama in. I'd have Old Miss in over all 148 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: of them. Because there is a part of me, it's 149 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: way back here in the back of my mind, there's 150 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: a part of me that still thinks Ole Miss at 151 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: their best is better than all those teams. So I'd 152 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: have ole Miss in for whatever that's worth, but they're 153 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: not going to be in. I did find it interesting 154 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: as we monitored fan duel, as we looked at the 155 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 3: way the odds were shifting today. I updated it several 156 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: times today on my socials up because there was a 157 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: lot of money that came in on Obama today. And 158 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 3: when I say money that came in, I mean FanDuel 159 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: was offering, yes, no, will this team make the playoff? 160 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: So Bama went from like minus one forty to minus 161 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: two sixty or two eighty or three hundred to day, 162 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: So fair amount of money came in on Obama. But 163 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 3: throughout the day, South Carolina Love waned and Miami Love 164 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: ticked up a little bit. I think that probably coincided 165 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 3: with Mario Christabaul doing some some like really really good 166 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 3: work on TVs. I'm on Sports Center when I was 167 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 3: in the gym earlier today, but I was very curious 168 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: about why ole Miss was like nowhere to be found. 169 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: So as recently as a few hours ago, you guys 170 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 3: probably saw me fighting for my you know, my well 171 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: being and my sanity and my good reputation. On Twitter 172 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: with folks coming at me saying you know it's your fault, 173 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: people like you. 174 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: I got the you people tag on me. 175 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 3: You people are the reason why ole Miss is not 176 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: involved in the conversation, and I tried to respond, Hey, Bud, 177 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: I'm higher on Old Miss than anyone is me. Of 178 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: all people, I am the least of your worries in 179 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: this particular situation. What I have been doing is I've 180 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: been reacting to the odds market. The odds market said 181 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 3: ole Miss had no shot, and I was reacting accordingly. 182 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: What I found interesting is for some reason, South Carolina 183 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 3: had better odds than ole Miss did. I didn't think 184 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: there was a world where South Carolina was ever going 185 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: to be ranked above Ole Miss, because there was a 186 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: definitive head to head I mean, like a definitive in 187 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: South Carolina's home stadium had to head data point. 188 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: So when was that ever gonna happen? 189 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: But the odds market was saying, oh, South Carolina's got 190 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: a shot, ole Miss got no shot. 191 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: Well, now, neither of them have much of a shot. 192 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: But I was just curious because sure enough, the committee 193 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: ranked Old Miss ahead of South Carolina tonight, which indicates 194 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 3: South Carolina was never in this, but there was a groundswell. 195 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: I was part of it because I think South Carolina 196 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: is a really good team, but I think Old Miss 197 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: is a good team. So theoretically I should have been 198 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 3: part of their odds being inflated. I don't know how 199 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 3: that worked. So couple of thoughts here. I got a problem. 200 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: I got a problem with the way. I got a 201 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 3: problem with auto bidds period. I've got a problem with 202 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: the way that this buy structure is gonna work. You know, 203 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 3: the four highest rink conference champs get buys and whatnot, 204 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 3: And once upon a time people took that to me 205 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 3: and okay, the power for is going to get a 206 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: buy and the G five will get the twelve seed. 207 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: You remember in summer when you were mapping out the 208 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 3: way you thought the playoff would go, including me, that's 209 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 3: how we mapped it out. It's not the way it's 210 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 3: working out. I'm telling you that committee removed a lot 211 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 3: of the guests work Tonight, if Boise State beats you NLV, 212 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 3: they will get a first round by in the playoffs. 213 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 3: I think it's ridiculous, but they will get a first 214 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 3: round by. 215 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: And I think it's ridiculous. Not because I. 216 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: Got anything against Spencer Danielson or that team, got immense 217 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: respect for that team. You are not meeting the minimum 218 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: baseline requirement strength to schedule playing at that level, to 219 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 3: me to warrant you getting a first round by That's 220 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: all always been a belief I've had, even since before 221 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 3: the expanded playoff. Blah blah blah. But for those who 222 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 3: have been asking, Okay, if the Big twelve champion, Arizona State, 223 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: for example, if they win, will they jump Boise if 224 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 3: they're the Mountain West champion, they won't. 225 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: They won't. 226 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: Here's how I know, paper pop, the cake is already baked. 227 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 3: The committee told you tonight Boise is sitting at number ten. 228 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: They play number twenty Saturday, So if they win that game, 229 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: you really think they're gonna drop below number fifteen? 230 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: Who plays number sixteen Saturday. 231 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 3: They both have comparably ranked opponents this Saturday in their 232 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: conference title games, and one of them's ranked tenth right 233 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: now and the other one's ranked fifteenth. Fifteen's not jumping 234 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,599 Speaker 3: above ten. The only way to do that would be 235 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 3: to wipe the slate totally clean, and then just someone 236 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 3: in the room's got to say, yeah, we gotta bump 237 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: power forward team ahead. 238 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: We got to do that. 239 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 3: And if they were going to do that, if there 240 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 3: was even a chance of that happening in the room, 241 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 3: they would have made it muddier than this. They didn't, 242 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 3: so Boise. If they win Saturday, not only are they 243 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: in the playoff, obviously they're gonna have a first round by. Ridiculous, 244 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: but it's the way it is. So the Big Twelve 245 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 3: needs UNLV because UNLV and Barry Odom they can win 246 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: that thing. They can win the Mountain West and they'll 247 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 3: go to the playoff, but they would not get a 248 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 3: first round by because they're down there at twenty. So 249 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: that would require them to jump over the Big twelves 250 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: Champ because either team can win the Big Twelve and 251 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: they're both ranked above UNLV. Right now, there is on 252 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 3: a related note, no way this format can continue. Rehese 253 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: Davis pointed it out earlier tonight. I think everyone is 254 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 3: starting to realize it, but it, in fairness, should never 255 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 3: have taken this long look at this format right now now, 256 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: this is projected based on the rankings as they were 257 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 3: released tonight. There's no way they can let this formula 258 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: and they can let this format continue. Autobids to me, 259 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 3: as a practice, are a joke. I don't think anyone 260 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 3: should be guaranteed anything. I just love to give the 261 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 3: top four buys, no matter who they are or where 262 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: they're from. It could be four SEC teams, could be 263 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 3: four ACC teams. For all I care, the best four 264 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: in the country, give them a buy. If you want 265 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 3: to guarantee Conference champs spots period, go ahead, but guaranteeing 266 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 3: them first round byes, reserving those top four seeds just 267 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: for Conference champs. I know what you're trying to do. 268 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 3: You are failing. You're cutting off your nose to spite 269 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 3: your face. It's a very pennywise, pound foolish approach to 270 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: putting together a viable postseason format. Let me tell you 271 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: why I think that. Look at what we're faced with 272 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 3: in round one. So FanDuel just hit us up moments ago. 273 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 3: If Penn State loses the Big Ten championship game, they're 274 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 3: a three and a half point dog in that game 275 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 3: against Oregan. If they lose, they drop theoretically to the 276 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: five seed. You see them right there on the top 277 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 3: of your screen. They would play Arizona State in Central 278 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: Pennsylvania in the third week of December. 279 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: I was at Penn State yesterday. 280 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 3: It sucks up there right now. And I'm not from Tempe, Arizona, 281 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 3: although I am from Harris County, Georgia, which is frequently 282 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: referred to as the Tempe of West central Georgia. Arizona 283 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 3: State would go up there, and according to FanDuel, be 284 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 3: an eleven and a half point dog. I imagine money 285 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: would come in on Penn State. If Penn State wins 286 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 3: that they go play Boise State in the next round, 287 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: a team they would also be significantly favored over. Meanwhile, Oregon, 288 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: their prize for winning the Big Ten would be a 289 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 3: first round by but they get either Tennessee or Ohio 290 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: State in the second round. I know what's happening, because 291 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 3: we've talked about this every week. 292 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: I know what's happening. 293 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 3: A lot of folks are already cooking up that take, 294 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: a lot of them already stretching their typing fingers to 295 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: remind me that getting a buye in the first round 296 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 3: is worth more than anything. No, it's worth more than 297 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 3: almost anything. It's worth a lot, but it's not worth 298 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 3: more than anything. I promise you it's not case in point, 299 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: if you got a couple of teams teed up that 300 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: you're going to be significant favorites against, it ain't worth 301 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: more than that. 302 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: It is not. 303 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 3: And we've seen example after example of this kind of 304 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 3: situation crop up just in projected formats, just in projected brackets. 305 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: So it Oh, by the way, Jesse, do me a favor. 306 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: Never mind, I've got. 307 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 3: Him put user in time out. 308 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: I can't believe me. Of all people, I had to 309 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: ban someone in the live chat. Pathetic. 310 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 3: So I hate the format. I hate a strong word, 311 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: especially this time of year. I don't like the format. 312 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 3: So those FanDuel odds, by the way, I wanted to 313 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: give these to you right quick. Arizona State at Penn State, 314 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: Penn State minus eleven and a half, Bama at Notre Dame. 315 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 3: So these are the projected first round games right now, 316 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: and FanDuel immediately hits us with what their projected lines 317 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: would be on these games. Bama a three and a 318 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: half point dog in South ben Jaylen Milroe in fifteen 319 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 3: degree weather, Bama a three and a half point dog. 320 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 3: Indiana at Georgia, Georgia twelve and a half point favorite. 321 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: Tennessee at Ohio State to see a nine point dog 322 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: in Columbus. So the Buckey is favored by over a touchdown. 323 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 3: And I just told you, I'll tell you again. Arizona 324 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 3: State at Penn State would be Penn State minus eleven 325 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: and a half. Some more thoughts here. The only drama 326 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 3: really looks to be what happens in this ACC Championship 327 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: game this Saturday. So SMU were gonna break the game 328 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: down later. SMU plays against Clemson in Charlotte. There is 329 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: a lot of question about what the committee would do 330 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 3: if Clemson wins this game. The line on the game 331 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 3: is two and a half. I believe right now SMU 332 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: is favored by two and a half. It's really close. 333 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 3: Figures to be really competitive. Yeah, there it was. It 334 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 3: was on the screen in front of me. So if 335 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 3: Clemson loses, if SMU wins, it's done. SMU makes it 336 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: Alabama's in the playoff. 337 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: Let's go. 338 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 3: If Clemson beats SMU, SMU, what happens to them? 339 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of question out there. 340 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 3: Would the committee drop them out of the rankings entirely, 341 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: which means Alabama goes, or would the committee bump Clemson 342 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: in because they just won the conference but keep SMU in, 343 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 3: which essentially means SMU makes it, BAMA doesn't, and that 344 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 3: really boils down to an SMU versus Alabama debate, and 345 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: SMU would be punished immensely for bait for being in 346 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: the conference championship game in that scenario, I'm against that. 347 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 3: So I will tell you now, if SMU plays Clemson 348 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: and they lose, and SMU is already not just in 349 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 3: the top twelve, but in the top ten, there's no 350 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: world where they should fall behind Alabama shouldn't happen. They 351 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 3: shouldn't fall out of the top twelve. Because Bama's sitting 352 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: at home this Saturday. They might as well be Notre Dame. 353 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: They're not playing in a conference title game. And you 354 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 3: guys always used to complain about that, remember everyone from 355 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 3: the South, everyone from the Big Ten, you guys have 356 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: always complained that theoretically Notre Dame could sit there and 357 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: kick their feet up while you got to go play 358 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 3: a conference title game. 359 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: Well, now you're in that situation. 360 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 3: Now you didn't get the job done against Oklahoma, you 361 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: got skull drug in Norman. So you're sitting at home 362 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 3: and SMU is going to play because they earned the 363 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: right to do that, and they're ranked above you already. 364 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 3: There's no world where they should fall behind you. Now 365 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 3: that should that's me talking. Will they? I don't think so. 366 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: But there is one thought that I always have in 367 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 3: my mind, and that is a. 368 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: Few years ago. 369 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: It's actually twenty fourteen. It was the first year I 370 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 3: think of the playoff. Ohio State was thought to be 371 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 3: on the outside looking in going into that Saturday, they 372 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 3: play Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. The point 373 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 3: spread is like three or something like that. Ohio State 374 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: wins by fifty. I mean, they just blow Wisconsin's doors off, 375 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 3: And I remember the talk shifted that day so quickly 376 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 3: from Ohio State's not in to you can't keep Ohio 377 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 3: State out. Now, this is not an apples to apples thing, 378 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: but it kind of is, because there is a scenario 379 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 3: I could see Saturday where Clemson plays SMU. Clemson doesn't 380 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 3: just beat them, they win by twenty five or something 381 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 3: like that. I think then the talk would shift from 382 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 3: you can't leave SMU out just because they lost their 383 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 3: conference title game. You can't punish him for doing that. 384 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 3: It could shift from that to man, they got blown 385 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 3: out like Bama's a better team than them. You got 386 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 3: to put Bama in at this point, you got to 387 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 3: just put the best team in. I could see that happening. 388 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: Could see that happening. Don't advocate for it, but could 389 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 3: see it happening. So one more thing that I wanted 390 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 3: to point out. Let's keep this, keep this on the screen. Bradley, 391 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: Bradley coming off the bench tonight, Director Collins in Florida 392 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 3: for Signing Day. 393 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: Good luck, Bradley, don't screw up. We're live. 394 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 3: So the rankings right now Oregon's one, Texas is two, 395 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: Penn State's three, Notre Dame's four, George's five. I hear 396 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 3: the phrase SEC bias every hour of every day this 397 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 3: time of year. I can't sneeze on this show without 398 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 3: someone saying it. Sounded like an SEC sneeze to me, most. 399 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: Of its foolishness. 400 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 3: But I do want to ask someone does big ten 401 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: bias exist? 402 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: I just need to check. I just need to check. 403 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 3: I may get a seasoned desist from CBS by the 404 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 3: time the show's over, because we gotta deal with the 405 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: big ten. But I just want to ask does big 406 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 3: ten bias exist? Because I'm looking at Ohio State get 407 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 3: embarrassed by Michigan and they don't. 408 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: Fall past Tennessee. 409 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 3: This may very well cost Tennessee a home game in 410 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: the playoff, depending on how it shakes out. Big ten bias, 411 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 3: Is it real? Indiana is not only in the playoff, 412 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 3: they're comfortably in the playoff? 413 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: Big ten bias? Does it exist now? Of course? 414 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 3: Of course, if you are of sound mind, you're arguing 415 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 3: back at me, now, that's not bias. 416 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: That's just the way it's supposed to work. 417 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, that's the way it's supposed 418 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 3: to work. You're making my point for me. So a 419 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 3: lot still to figure out, but not nearly as much 420 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: to figure out this coming Saturday as maybe you thought 421 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 3: there would be to figure out if you were predicting 422 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: all this in August, because really we're looking at the 423 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 3: ACC championship game and then how far do you fall 424 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 3: if you lose your conference title game. We're looking at 425 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 3: if UNLV is able to beat Boise, then that means 426 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 3: a lot. But really it's a really good day for Alabama, 427 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 3: probably much better than they could ever hope to be 428 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 3: in position for. 429 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: So that's where we are right now. Yeah. 430 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 3: I also remind you, guys. We got a ton of 431 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 3: folks watching again. I think we may have had our 432 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 3: most watched show Sunday night. Ever, a lot of you 433 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 3: subscribe to the channel, which means you realized you weren't 434 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: subscribed already. 435 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: So I ask. 436 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 3: Anytime someone's watching the show for the first time and 437 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 3: a lot of you are, check and see if you're subscribed, 438 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 3: and if you're not, please do so. Because this is 439 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 3: college football all year round, nothing else. It is free. 440 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 3: We would love to keep it free. And the way 441 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: we do that is you subscribe to the channel. It 442 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 3: doesn't cost you a dime, it doesn't sign you up 443 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 3: for anything. It just helps us. Please and thank you. Okay, 444 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: we have something to do on the show tonight that 445 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 3: we haven't done before, but I'm very happy we. 446 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: Get to do it. 447 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 3: It's a ward season, as you know, we're getting ready 448 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 3: for the Heisman. We got all these other lists and 449 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 3: finalists coming out and whatnot. Some of them I agree 450 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 3: with most of them, I do not. But I got 451 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 3: to let you behind the curtain a little bit. So 452 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 3: I'm good friends with a lot of the guys on 453 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 3: the Joe Moore Award Committee, the Joe Moore Award goes 454 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 3: annually to the best offensive line in the country. These 455 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 3: dudes are awesome and they are about it. So I've 456 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 3: been able to sit in on the calls this year. 457 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 3: I've been able to watch the sausage get made, so 458 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: to speak. It is contentious, it is roll up your sleeves. 459 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 3: It's as aggressive as a zoom meeting could possibly get. 460 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 3: These are a lot of guys whose names you would recognize, 461 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 3: and they all played the position, and they are very 462 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: passionate about the award. This is not all due respect 463 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 3: a bunch of sports writers and people who never buckle 464 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 3: the chin strap, who don't watch ninety five percent of 465 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: the games and then just throw together a list at 466 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 3: the end of the year, tweeted out and you look 467 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 3: at it and say, this makes no sense. That is 468 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 3: not what this award is. So I'm walking through the 469 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 3: park the other day. I'm actually talking to Aaron Taylor 470 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 3: and I'm saying, he's walking through me the process, and 471 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 3: I said, you know, I've got an idea. And that 472 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 3: was a few weeks ago. That leads to tonight the 473 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 3: Joe Moore Award. Folks said, well, we don't just need 474 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 3: to put out a press release. Let's find a more 475 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 3: grendiose way to announce our finalists, and so when it 476 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 3: comes to the best offensive line in college football in 477 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: the year of our lower twenty twenty four, the Joe 478 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: More Award Committee has arrived at three finalists and we 479 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 3: will reveal them right now. 480 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 4: Welcome in everybody for this special Joe Moore Award Finalists announcement. 481 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 4: Adam Zucker joined by JMA co founder, my friend and 482 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 4: the JMA team captain Aaron Taylor at this is always 483 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 4: a special day for you and your whole group. 484 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 5: Oh man, it's so much work to get here, both 485 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 5: by the units themselves but also our voting committee. So 486 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 5: a big shout out and thank you to them into 487 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 5: our sponsor Don Joy as well. 488 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 2: All right, let's rock and roll. 489 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 4: Here a reminder of the semi finalists first announced earlier 490 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 4: this month. These are, in alphabetical order, Alabama Army in Indiana, Iowa, 491 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 4: Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Tulane. And 492 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 4: now we get to the three finalists again here in 493 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 4: alphabetical order. 494 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: Aaron, Who's up first? 495 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 5: Well, this has been a really inconsistent and rocky road 496 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 5: to the season in college football, and the old line's 497 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 5: been no different. But three units really stood out in 498 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 5: the first one it's maybe been the most consistent of 499 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 5: them all season long. Is the Army Black Knights. Play 500 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 5: one game one. You see what this award is about. Toughness, physicality, teamwork. 501 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 5: These are a bunch of zero stars that produce like 502 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 5: five star players. They're at their best when their best 503 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 5: is needed. They always punch up against Notre Dame. The 504 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 5: problems weren't in the box, it was on the perimeter, 505 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 5: so they were at their best when their best was needed. 506 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 5: Joe Moore said, there's no greater joy than moving a 507 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 5: man from point A to point B against his will, 508 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 5: and Army may have done that better than any of 509 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 5: the units we've seen this season. 510 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: That's great. 511 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 4: Army playing in the America a let A Conference championship 512 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 4: game Saturday in their first season in the conference, and 513 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 4: of course Army Navy on CBS next week. All right, 514 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 4: team number two show the world. 515 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 5: Oh boy, this team has had quite the year and 516 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 5: a big reason why the Oregon Ducks have been so 517 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 5: good it's because their offensive line, coached by Elit Terry, 518 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 5: has been masterful. 519 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: They started out struggling. 520 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 5: They got some injury bugs fixed when Paco came in 521 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 5: at center. 522 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: This unit really started to gel. 523 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 5: Their above average in pass protection, held Ohio State to 524 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 5: zero sacks, only two tackles for loss, and continue to get. 525 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: Better week by week. 526 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 5: Their best game was against Washington, which was the last 527 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 5: game of the season, which is going to help. 528 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: Them in the Big Ten Championship, and that was the 529 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 2: demon they had to vanquish. 530 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 4: And now they're playing for the Big Ten title in 531 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 4: their first season in the conference. That one on CBS Saturday, 532 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 4: of course against Penn State. Can I do the honors 533 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 4: for the third finalist? 534 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 5: Here here we go, so certain Brian Jones is gonna 535 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 5: be happy about this one because of Texas Longhorns, maybe 536 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 5: the universal unit that the voting committee liked the most. Now, 537 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 5: there were some contentious conversations that went back and forth, 538 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 5: but as the year war on, the physicality at the 539 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 5: point of attack, the great production that they had against 540 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 5: Texas A and M, the good production against Kentucky. 541 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 2: They really started a gel. 542 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 5: As the season went along and Texas runs so much 543 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 5: stuff out on the perimeter. What was really noteworthy was 544 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 5: how well they held up in the screen game in space. 545 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 5: You got these big dudes that are out there playing 546 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 5: like ballerinas man Texas, and they get another chance in 547 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 5: the SEC Championship game to prove that that first game 548 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 5: against Georgia. 549 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 2: Was a fluke. Quite a leotard there. 550 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 5: It hits a three X spanks and spandex is not 551 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 5: something you want to see. 552 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 2: Us for sure. 553 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 4: All right, So congratulations to you, to your whole group, 554 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 4: to Army, Oregon and Texas on being named Joe Moore 555 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 4: Award finalists.

I mean, let's be real now, 561 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 3: we wonder when would Zuck ever get on the show, 562 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 3: and lo and behold, he finds his way. 563 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: On there for an offensive line award of all reasons for. 564 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 3: Adam Zucker to make his first appearance on the show. 565 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 3: I appreciate those guys. Hey, let me tell you something. 566 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 3: The way that award is voted on the way that 567 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 3: award is decided. That's the way they all should be decided. 568 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 3: I wish you could have the view that I've had 569 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 3: this year. I don't know a thing about offensive line 570 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 3: play relative to those guys, but to just sit back 571 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 3: and put my screen on mute and listen to that. 572 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 3: There is no opinion that is given in those meetings 573 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 3: that they don't come with like all twenty two tangible 574 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 3: X and O logic based reasoning for and if you 575 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: don't come with it, you get called out. It's great 576 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 3: because everyone's friends on there, but they take the award 577 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 3: like way way serious, and so there's not a lot 578 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 3: of smiling, there's not a lot of laughing. It's like, 579 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 3: roll your sleeves up, get to work. Let's parse through 580 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: all this. I told Aaron Taylor, I'll tell those guys again, 581 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 3: you ought to have a panel and you ought to 582 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: do what I do, but you ought to do it 583 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 3: relative to this award. Anyone who disagrees, open it up, 584 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: open floor, just open Mike, come at us, present your gripes, 585 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 3: and then we're going to give you our reasoning and 586 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 3: let's go back and forth and watch how quickly that 587 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 3: would happen, and that would do deteriorate quickly for the 588 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 3: haters out there, So we appreciate those guys for letting 589 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 3: us do that. Okay, we got conference championship games coming up. 590 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 3: We got to get to work here. We got a 591 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 3: lot of show left to go. SEC championship game this Saturday, 592 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 3: four o'clock eastern kickoff in Atlanta. It is Georgia, it 593 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: is Texas Texas, a slight two and a half point 594 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 3: favorite at FanDuel. The funny thing is that this game 595 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 3: has already been played this year, and yet the first 596 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 3: thing in my mind is don't pay attention to the 597 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 3: first result. 598 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: Why is that, Well. 599 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 3: It's for the same reasons that I gave the day 600 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 3: after that game happened. The game was wonderful for Georgia, 601 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 3: but in terms of predictive value, it didn't give me 602 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 3: a lot because as great a win as it was 603 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 3: for Georgia, the route Georgia went to winning is so 604 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 3: unlikely to be duplicated that you almost start from scratch. So, 605 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 3: for example, Georgia had scoring drives that started at the 606 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 3: Texas thirteen, the Texas twenty eight, the Texas thirty four, 607 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 3: the Texas thirty and the Georgia forty five. They really 608 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 3: had to drive the link to the field like once 609 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 3: all night. 610 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: The defense was dominant. 611 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: So what I do care about is they held Texas 612 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 3: to one point one yards per carry. What I do 613 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 3: care about is because they got an early lead, Texas 614 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 3: had to play catch up and Georgia racks up over 615 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 3: half a dozen sacks and ten tackles for loss. Texas 616 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 3: is held to three of nineteen on third and fourth down. 617 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 3: Now that stuff I care about, And if you can 618 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 3: duplicate that here, Georgia is gonna win an SEC championship, 619 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 3: So can they? Very ironic opening question from me here, 620 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 3: this is my feel on the game. 621 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: Can Georgia move the ball? 622 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 3: Because Texas couldn't last game, So why in the world 623 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 3: would I be asking can Georgia move the ball? Well, 624 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 3: Trevor Etn was a massive part of this game for 625 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 3: Georgia had over one hundred yards on the ground, had 626 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 3: three touchdowns last time. I don't know his status. Sounds 627 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: like it's very much up in the air. I don't 628 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 3: know what percentage I get of him if he does play, 629 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 3: and if you remove Etn, Georgia is a very below 630 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 3: average rushing attack, and I've been. 631 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: Waiting on it all year. 632 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 3: I've basically been waiting on that block g to do 633 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 3: the work instead of the players. And they don't have 634 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 3: the horses this year. They don't have the horses to 635 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 3: the degree you would expect Georgia to have the horses, 636 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 3: shall I say so? If you don't have that ability, 637 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: then it radically shifts how I think this game goes 638 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 3: because without him, your rushing offense is in the one 639 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 3: hundreds and Texas is top fifteen against the run. I 640 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 3: should not expect Georgia to be able to run the 641 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 3: ball ultra successfully if they don't have Etn and it's 642 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 3: hard to do it with him, it's really hard to 643 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 3: do it without him. Carson Beck this last game when 644 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 3: they played Texas had three picks, which is kind of 645 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 3: forgotten cause they won. But he's got three picks in 646 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 3: the last game. And if they can't run the ball effectively, 647 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 3: and it's put disproportionately on his shoulders, I need to 648 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 3: remind you that's a turnover prone quarterback against the number 649 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 3: one pass defense in FBS in Texas. So that's one 650 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 3: dynamic that could radically alter this time around. As posted 651 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 3: the last time around. The second thing that I'm paying 652 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 3: attention to is Texas has to flat out play a 653 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 3: different identity game the way it went the first time. 654 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 3: If you just turned the game on in the middle 655 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 3: of it, Texas felt shell shock. 656 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: The crowd did. 657 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 3: They're completely thrown off their game script because of what 658 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 3: George is doing to him early when Texas beat A 659 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 3: and M the other night, afterwards, Steve Sarkisian said, about 660 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 3: a month ago, we realized we were going to have 661 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 3: to run the ball better, and we challenged our entire 662 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 3: organization to do it. And so you've got guys stepping 663 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 3: up that maybe you didn't even know about in the 664 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 3: pre season. They've got to have a different identity game here. 665 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 3: Texas has recruited and developed the kind of personnel that 666 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 3: should be totally comfortable trading blows physically with Georgia. That's 667 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 3: what they should be. Was not what they were the 668 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 3: first time around. I'm saying it's what they should be, 669 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 3: and I think a lot of people in that organization 670 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 3: are really glad they get a second shot at that 671 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 3: because they feel like they can do it, they can 672 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 3: control the game. I think a lot better on the 673 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 3: ground this time around than they showed they could the 674 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 3: first time. That would limit that pass rush greatly. That 675 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 3: would avoid catch up mode, getting down early and having 676 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 3: to disproportionately throw the ball. I think arch Manning is 677 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 3: going to have a pretty big role in this game. 678 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 3: He did last game against A and M. You could 679 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 3: tell they really specified the way they were going to 680 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: use him. I can't imagine Steve Sarkeesian and that staff 681 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 3: going back and looking at what Haines King did to 682 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 3: Georgia and not thinking to themselves, arch Manning can do that. 683 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: He got that skill set. With arch man we. 684 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 3: Probably have a better skill set, all due respect to 685 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 3: Haines King and arch Manning, just not as much experience. 686 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 3: So I expect him to heavily factor in here. Actually, 687 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 3: the level of play from Carson Beck is the most 688 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 3: important facet of this game. It's the kind of game 689 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 3: where you got to forget what he has meant all year, 690 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 3: because if you try and just think about what a 691 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: guy has been depending on you know, whether you're a 692 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 3: Georgia fan or you want him to lose, your mind 693 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 3: will just draw on highlight mode. He's got to play 694 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 3: his Tennessee game. That's what he needs. I thought he 695 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 3: played his best game in a year against Tennessee. I 696 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 3: don't know how it grades out, but the best I've 697 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 3: seen him look was against Tennessee all year. Forget everything 698 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 3: that's happened. You just need one four quarter version of him. 699 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 3: That is what he's capable of. We've seen what he's 700 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: capable of in the past. He's just got to give 701 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 3: it to me for four quarters. 702 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: Here. He's their edge. 703 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 3: When you look else where, there are several personnel advantages. 704 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 3: There are several position grouping and unit advantages that I 705 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 3: think Texas holds over Georgia. But the one place where 706 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 3: Georgia could have the edge that negates all of it 707 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 3: is at quarterback if Carson Beck plays at the level 708 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 3: that he's capable of playing. And the other thing about 709 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 3: the way this goes is if you try and visualize 710 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 3: what the sec what college football is like three years 711 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 3: from now, the way you're talking about it, you could 712 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 3: be saying one of two things, and neither would surprise me. 713 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 3: You could be saying, Wow, Texas has taken over college football. 714 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: That could be the first one. 715 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 3: Or it could be Man, Texas is really elite, but 716 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 3: they just can't get past Georgia man that Georgia hurdle, 717 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 3: which would sound a lot like what we've said about 718 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 3: Kirby Smart and Georgia relative to Nick Saban and Alabama. 719 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 3: You see, you can think you stack up with them, 720 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 3: you can recruit against them, you can staff against them, 721 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 3: you can build to face them, but until you beat them, 722 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 3: doesn't really matter. So Texas has got that to do Georgia, Dutton. 723 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 3: Georgia already did it in their building this year. Texas 724 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 3: has got that to do. This thing doesn't end in 725 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. These two programs will do that for 726 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 3: a long time. Bradley, Let's take a look at what 727 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 3: the model thinks. So Texas at FanDuel right now is 728 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 3: favored by two and a half. Model agrees, model has 729 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 3: Texas minus three. I think Texas is peaking at the 730 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 3: right time, and I do not feel the same way 731 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 3: about Georgia. I respect Georgia immensely, but I like Texas 732 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 3: better right now. I think Texas has the capability of 733 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 3: peaking at the right time, being the best team in 734 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 3: the country and winning it all. 735 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: So I'm going to take Texas to win. I'm gonna 736 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: take Texas to. 737 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 3: Cover, and if that happens, you better plug your ears 738 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 3: because if those boys win the SEC their first season 739 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 3: in the conference, oh this is I'm holding my nose, 740 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 3: not for myself, but for the rest of you. It 741 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 3: wouldn't be ideal. Let me just put it that way. 742 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 3: If you're not a big if you're not a big 743 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 3: horns Up person, it would not be ideal. The audacity 744 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 3: to come in this league and win it the first year. 745 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: Can you imagine? Do me a favor. By the way, 746 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: if you're watching the video, subscribe to the channel College 747 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: Football all year.

Here here's my 776 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: patented smiley face to prove that I'm I'm watching. 777 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: I have my eye on you, guys. Man. My nose itches. 778 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 3: It's just like there's a sneeze there. I know it's there, 779 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 3: and I am at a critical point in the live 780 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 3: show where I've got to decide do you hold it 781 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 3: in or do you just say pause and then move 782 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 3: the mic. 783 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: And just embarrass yourself. 784 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with a former unhealthily. I'm gonna try 785 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 3: and hold it in. We'll see how it goes. Immunity 786 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 3: kind of big ten championship game in Indianapolis this Saturday night, 787 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 3: prime time placement on CBS. No less, this is Penn 788 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 3: State and Oregon. Would you say, Josh, you meant Ohio 789 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 3: State and Oregon? 790 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 2: No, I do not. 791 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 3: Some of you probably were on vacation last week like 792 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 3: inevitably with a show and an audience as big as ours. 793 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 3: Somebody just checked out last weekend and you're not even 794 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 3: aware of Michigan beat Ohio State. 795 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: Yes that person exists. 796 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 3: Boy, imagine that person checking back in and saying, James 797 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 3: Franklin could win Saturday and have the number one overall 798 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 3: seed in the playoffs. 799 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: Yes, it could happen. 800 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,959 Speaker 3: Not that it will. It could happen. Oh Oregon probably 801 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 3: about a ten point favorite here right, Oregon's favored by 802 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 3: three and a half. Kids, So if you think this 803 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 3: is a lot, there's your free money. This is the 804 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 3: first meeting of these teams since the Rose Bowl on 805 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 3: New Year's Day in nineteen ninety five. It's been a 806 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 3: long time, really good uniform game. So we all know 807 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 3: the James Franklin talking points. We know, and if you 808 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 3: don't know, I'm gonna tell you. He's one in thirteen 809 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 3: versus ap top five teams. He is also, this could 810 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 3: be good news depending on your perspective. He's thirty two 811 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 3: and one versus teams not named Ohio State Michigan the. 812 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: Last three years. Now, you could easily argue Oregon is 813 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: the caliber of team that those two have been. 814 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 3: But that's not what the stats said. The stat does 815 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 3: not recognize whether it's Oregon or not. It just says, 816 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 3: if you're not Michigan, you're not Ohio State. James Franklin 817 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 3: does really good against you. That's a nonsense stat. But 818 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 3: let me tell you what does matter, the great unknown. 819 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 3: So there are some known things in this game, like 820 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 3: Penn State has not gotten points versus really good defense. 821 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 3: It's when they faced them. The last four games against 822 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 3: ranked teams, they've scored twelve, fifteen, twenty one, and thirteen. 823 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 3: Not a shock, right. The better the team is, the 824 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 3: harder they are to score against. 825 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: So that's known. Penn State not an electric offense. That's known. 826 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 3: However, probably a little bit lesser recognized is Oregon defensively 827 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 3: against the best teams they've played. Shocker, they've given up 828 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 3: some points as well. They played Boise, now this was 829 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 3: like five years ago by this point. They gave up 830 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 3: thirty four against Boise, two to twenty one on the ground. 831 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 3: Then they played Ohio State. They gave up thirty one 832 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 3: against the Buckeyes three to twenty six through the air. 833 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 3: So teams have run on them, well, a team did. 834 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 3: A team threw the ball very well on them. Oregon 835 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 3: haven't played the toughest schedule in the world this year, 836 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 3: so there are not a lot of very comparable caliber 837 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 3: of teams here to draw on. Now, as I say that, 838 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 3: knowing our audience like I do, I can hear your 839 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 3: feedback already. 840 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: You're saying, yeah, Boise was a long time ago. 841 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 2: You're right. 842 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 3: I don't even value it a whole lot either. But 843 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 3: that's the last caliber of tailback you know next to 844 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 3: like Nick Singleton the way he's playing right now that 845 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 3: they will have faced jenty had some success against him. 846 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,919 Speaker 3: The other thing is you may be thinking, well, Penn 847 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 3: State's not those caliber of teams. Penn State is not 848 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 3: as good as Ohio State. We don't think Penn State's 849 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 3: as good as Ohio State. Okay, but they're in the 850 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 3: title game because they've had the consistency and performance enough 851 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 3: this year to warrant them being there. 852 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: They're not going to be an easy out. 853 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 3: Points are going to be at a premium too, So 854 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 3: it's not like Penn State has to hang thirty five 855 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 3: or forty on you. If they find some explosivity, if 856 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 3: Nick Singleton's able to have a little more success than 857 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 3: you expect, could be the difference in the game. A 858 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 3: couple of matchups here, Penn State's edges versus Oregon's tackles 859 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 3: is a huge focus for me. Abdul Carter and Old 860 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 3: Dennis Sutton up there, man, those two. I always always 861 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 3: call him Old Dennis Sutton calls I either want to 862 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 3: say Danny when he's deny, but it always comes out 863 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 3: Danny Dennis Sutton. I know it's denial, I know this 864 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 3: is live. I'm not correcting myself afterwards, but I always 865 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 3: want to say Danny Dennis Sutton, and it's not that 866 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 3: parents get really mad when you mispronounce the names of 867 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 3: their sons with good reason, so we have to we 868 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 3: have to check ourselves on the air sometimes. Penn State's 869 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 3: top eight run defense, like Organ's gonna have a tough 870 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 3: time running the ball here. And the reason I mentioned 871 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 3: that is because if Oregon can't run the ball, you 872 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,439 Speaker 3: give those edge guys room to tee off. And if 873 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 3: you allow them to do that, I mean Organ's got 874 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 3: to throw the ball a lot in this game. If 875 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 3: you allow them to do that, Penn State's a top 876 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 3: ten pressure team. And we were looking at this earlier today. 877 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 3: This is the kind of stat that's not publicly available, 878 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 3: but CBS plays like fifty million dollars to subscribe to 879 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 3: certain things. So Penn State two point three seconds to 880 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 3: pressure this year, it's number one in the country. They 881 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 3: get pressure faster than any team in the country. If 882 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 3: your offensive tackles cannot stand up, and Oregon's got good ones, 883 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 3: that's why it's a good on good matchup. If they 884 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 3: can't stand up, that's trouble matchup. Number two. This is 885 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 3: where you really flex. If you're Oregon, your wide receiver 886 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 3: is against their dbs. So one of the things that 887 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 3: just boggles my mind is Penn State had huge need 888 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 3: at corner coming out of spring or actually coming out 889 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,320 Speaker 3: of last year. Penn State had huge needs. They needed 890 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 3: two starting corners, and they went two for two. They 891 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 3: went and got Jalen Kimber, they went and got aj 892 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 3: Harris and two for two. They're playing exceptional football. That's 893 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,760 Speaker 3: so hard to do, that is so hard to do. Well, 894 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 3: you better be playing that caliber of football because Tedes Johnson, 895 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 3: Evan Stewart, you know, not just catching the ball. 896 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: Like air. Yards yards after catch I think will be 897 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: so huge in this game, and it is up to 898 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: you to tackle. It is up to you to. 899 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 3: I mean, Penn State right now is playing man at 900 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 3: a top fifteen rate in the country, so they trust 901 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 3: those guys. It's not a lot of z own from 902 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 3: Penn State. It's a lot of man yards after catch. 903 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 3: Oregon's forty ninth and explosive plays this year, they got 904 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 3: to make something happen there yards after catch. Penn State 905 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 3: I have mild to moderate concern about it. Right tackle, 906 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 3: run blocking in particular, sometimes I think that can make 907 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 3: you a little more predictable in play calling. Tyler Warren 908 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 3: at tight end will get his Oregon just can't let. 909 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: Him destroy them. 910 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 3: I think Nick Singleton is another big key here because 911 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 3: he's playing his best ball. Like he looks healthy, he's 912 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 3: been playing his best ball. Oregon's got the pop factor though, 913 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 3: Like if I think explosives, if I think those game 914 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 3: changing moments, I think of Oregon, and I also think 915 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 3: Oregon's built for this moment. Let's take a look what 916 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 3: the model thinks. Oregon is favored by three and a 917 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 3: half at FanDuel Model is much higher on Oregon. We 918 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 3: got organ all the way up at minus six in 919 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 3: this game, so model solidly leans Oregon to win and cover. 920 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 3: It's a big moment for both of them. Neither of 921 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 3: these collections of players have been on this particular stage now. 922 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: Oregon went to the PAC. 923 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 3: Twelve title game last year and lost, so they got 924 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 3: that going for him. Penn State, this is kind of 925 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 3: new for all those guys, and this time last week 926 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 3: they didn't even expect to be there, so house money 927 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,720 Speaker 3: vibes almost on the Penn State side of things. Their 928 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 3: penalty the losing team here, their penalty will be just 929 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 3: go hold down the five seed and play against a 930 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 3: team You'll be a double digit favorite against so there 931 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 3: is pressure, but there's not pressure, if that makes sense. 932 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 3: I'm taking Oregon to win and cover. I think Oregon 933 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 3: is the better team here. It's a neutral field. I 934 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 3: like them. I love that they lost twice against Washington 935 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 3: last year. Like I've felt, that's low key fuel for 936 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 3: that team all year this year. If I'm going to 937 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 3: take an organ to win a cover, Penn State should 938 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 3: not be doubted here. Penn State should not be counted out. 939 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 3: That defense can flip a game. That defense can do 940 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 3: in this game what Ohio State's defense did to them 941 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,880 Speaker 3: two years ago in State College could happen. Quick Trip 942 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 3: fueling the whole New Saturday tour. Quick Trip fueling you. 943 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 1: I gave out so many tanks of gas this past week, 944 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: with more to come. I'm not done. 945 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 3: Quick Trip has allotted thousands of dollars in giveaway budget 946 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 3: to me, And what that looked like is I still 947 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 3: remember the call Joe, our guy at Quick Trip. We 948 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 3: were talking and they all watched the show and he 949 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 3: was like, all right, we want to I mean, we 950 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 3: want to do it right, not just put Quick Trip 951 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 3: on some TV screen and have you read some ad copy, 952 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 3: how do we do it? And I said, you give 953 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 3: folks free gas. That's how you do it. He goes, 954 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 3: done here, Just start giving gas away. Just make sure 955 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 3: you tag us when you do it. And I said, 956 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 3: are you sure, Joe? And he said, I think. I said, 957 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 3: good enough for me. So we just started giving away 958 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 3: free tanks of gas and we've done it all year. 959 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: Most of the time. I do it. If you know, 960 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: take a picture in a quick. 961 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 3: Trip parking lot and tag me on social that's usually enough. 962 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 3: Quick Trip is fueling the whole New Saturday tour. We've 963 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 3: been all over the country all year. At last check, 964 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 3: we have logged a little over twenty three thousand miles, 965 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 3: so by the end of this year, actually as of 966 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 3: last week, we were over twenty four thousand. We've circumnavigated 967 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 3: the globe courtesy of quick Trip. Obviously not all of 968 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 3: the globe is navigable by car, but you get the point. 969 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 3: We've done that equivalent. Let's move along. We've still got 970 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 3: a lot of show to get to. A lot of 971 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 3: folks in the live chat, a lot of folks watching live. 972 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 3: I know a lot of you. In fact, a vast 973 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 3: majority of our audience watches the next day. But there's 974 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 3: something special about watching live, you know, because if I 975 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,399 Speaker 3: do something overly egregious, we're just going to edit it out. 976 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 1: And so there's only really one way. 977 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 3: If the thing burns to the ground fantastically, you're only 978 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,439 Speaker 3: going to see that live. 979 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: Fortunately it hasn't happened tonight yet. 980 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 3: Got a new JP poll out. The committee's putting their 981 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 3: rankings out. Why wouldn't I put power ratings out? This 982 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 3: has nothing to do with the committee. If I were 983 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 3: on the committee, point blank, my rankings would not look 984 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 3: like what I'm. 985 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: About to show you. 986 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 3: This right here is like JP sportsbook is being run 987 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 3: and I am releasing our internal data. This, according to 988 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 3: the model, is how these teams would stack up on 989 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 3: a neutral field in terms of favorability. We have a 990 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 3: new number one and it's Texas. Texas, according to the 991 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,720 Speaker 3: JP pole is the number one team in the country. 992 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,720 Speaker 3: The model would favor Texas against anyone, even Oregon. Ohio 993 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 3: State has fallen to number three, and I know that 994 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 3: shocks some of you, but remember it's not a ranking. 995 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 3: If it was a ranking, Ohio State wouldn't be three 996 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 3: for me, they wouldn't be top five, notre Dame is 997 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 3: at the highest point I think we've ever had them, 998 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 3: Notre Dames at number four. Don't ever call me an 999 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 3: Irish hater again. Look at this. 1000 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: This is my poll and I got Notre Dame top five, number. 1001 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 3: Four, above Georgia. Models favoring Notre Dame against Georgia neutral field. 1002 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 3: And by the way, remember the Playoff committee put out 1003 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 3: their rankings tonight. It would project that Alabama goes to 1004 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 3: Notre Dame in round one and FANDUELLL hit us up said, yeah, 1005 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 3: Notre Dame minus three and a half in that game. 1006 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 1: So I mean, it's not out of the. 1007 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 3: Realm of possibility or out of the realm of believability 1008 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 3: that Notre Dame would be favored even neutral field against 1009 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,240 Speaker 3: some of these SEC teams. Penn State is number six, 1010 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 3: so the model's a little bit lower on Penn State 1011 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,840 Speaker 3: than the playoff rankings committee is not a bunch, but 1012 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 3: a little bit. 1013 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 1: Bama is at number. 1014 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,399 Speaker 3: Seven, Ole Miss is at eight, so I'm flat out 1015 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 3: higher on Ole Miss South Carolina than the committee was. 1016 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,719 Speaker 3: I get why they're down there, but this I don't 1017 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 3: care that they're three loss teams. Like the model doesn't 1018 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 3: even see wins and losses, nor does it see brands, 1019 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 3: nor does it see what conference you're in. You're just 1020 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 3: a data set and it's properly weighted and properly calibrated. 1021 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 3: So Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee. There's like a little 1022 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,240 Speaker 3: glob of SEC teams there, seven, eight, nine, ten. SMU 1023 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 3: is at eleven. SMU plays in a conference title game 1024 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 3: this week. They're at eleven. Indiana is at twelve, and 1025 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 3: I think the noteworthy thing about both of those teams 1026 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 3: is you'll notice you will not see Boise in the 1027 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 3: top twenty five because we do not view them in 1028 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 3: a power rating world as being valid in the top 1029 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 3: twenty five rankings. 1030 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 1: That's fine, power ratings. 1031 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 3: We got twenty five teams we would favor against Boise, 1032 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,840 Speaker 3: not SMU in Indiana. Both of those teams are legitimate 1033 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 3: being included up here, Like they're not hollow, they're not there, 1034 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 3: and yeah, but they're just where they're supposed to be. 1035 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 3: They have both played really really good football this year. 1036 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 3: Miami's at thirteen is that Miami was twelve in the rankings, right, 1037 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 3: so that's kind of close to where they'll committee had 1038 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 3: them clumbson at fourteen. They're down four spots. Iowa States 1039 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 3: at fifteen. Okay, check out sixteen. I got Florida all 1040 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 3: the way up at sixteen. Now, the model has loved 1041 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 3: Louisville all year, So Louisville is still seventeen. Michigan is eighteenth, 1042 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 3: and remember you can see if you're watching on the screen, 1043 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 3: Michigan is eighteenth. They're up five spots, which means what 1044 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 3: we already had him in the top twenty five last week. 1045 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 3: So yes, it was a shock that they beat Ohio State. 1046 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 3: But please understand in terms of just raw power rating. 1047 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:28,759 Speaker 3: Ohio State lost to like the twenty third team in 1048 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,359 Speaker 3: the country in power ratings format, which is not as 1049 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 3: egregious as it looked, but it was still really egregious. 1050 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 3: Arizona State's at nineteen. Models a little bit lower on 1051 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 3: Arizona State than the committee is. Model is a little 1052 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 3: bit lower on Arizona State than FanDuel is because, as 1053 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 3: you'll see later in the show, Arizona State's favored on 1054 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 3: a neutral field over Iowa State. The model disagrees with that. 1055 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 3: Baylor is at number twenty. Dave Ireenn has got Baylor 1056 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 3: at number twenty, my goodness. And then twenty one through 1057 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 3: twenty five. TCU good late season, Sir Tulane dropped to 1058 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:07,320 Speaker 3: twenty two. LSU's number twenty three USC the model cannot 1059 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,879 Speaker 3: quit them. They're still at twenty four, lost another game 1060 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,879 Speaker 3: at twenty four and Minnesota at twenty five. Minnesota could 1061 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 3: so easily be in this thing if just one or 1062 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 3: two things had gone their way. I think this is 1063 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 3: pretty well calibrated itself out now. Again, Boise is not 1064 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 3: in this Boise is not in our top thirty. So 1065 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 3: there's just a huge difference. They're a detachment team, as 1066 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 3: we call them, huge difference in where they're gonna be 1067 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 3: ranked justifiably versus where they're gonna be power rating. They're 1068 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 3: just there's gonna be separation, and that's okay. That's why 1069 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,000 Speaker 3: these are two different concepts. Let's move on. I need 1070 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 3: I forgot to open my ZBA earlier. That's why my 1071 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 3: throat was so parched, Bradley, you're supposed to remind me 1072 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 3: of that. I honestly, when ZEBA told me they were 1073 00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:00,799 Speaker 3: sending the salted caramel mispronounced by some as carmel, I 1074 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 3: had doubts. It is grown on me. It's not gonna 1075 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 3: pass cream soda, but it's grown on me. Also a reminder, 1076 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,440 Speaker 3: cause like I think a thousand of you have done 1077 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 3: this already. 1078 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 1: We're given away stuff. 1079 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 3: You'll notice the theme with every partner we have on 1080 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 3: the show is I just give a bunch stuff away 1081 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,880 Speaker 3: through them. So Zvia has hit us up and they said, 1082 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 3: look best zero sugar soda on the planet. 1083 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:24,800 Speaker 1: That's a fact. 1084 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 3: We wouldn't be in business with them. I wouldn't be 1085 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 3: consuming this stuff every night if it weren't. But that's 1086 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 3: not enough. We got to give stuff away. So for 1087 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 3: those of you who are unaware, Zvia now available in 1088 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 3: Walmart's nationwide. We have already had a lot of you 1089 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 3: partake in this. I just want to give every one time. 1090 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,279 Speaker 3: We're gonna do this for a little while longer. I 1091 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 3: want to give everyone fair warning. I'm giving away a 1092 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 3: bunch of money through Zevia, one hundred dollars gift cards. 1093 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 3: Twenty five of you are gonna win one three of 1094 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,879 Speaker 3: you are gonna win a grand prize of one hundred 1095 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 3: dollars gift card to Walmart, whole case of cream sodas Zevia, 1096 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 3: which is my personal favorite, and a chalice of Supremacy, 1097 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 3: which is like the best Christmas package ever. 1098 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: Here's how you do it. It's very simple. 1099 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 3: Go to Walmart, buy some of it, take a picture 1100 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 3: of it in the parking lot, tag me and them 1101 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 3: on social hashtag zva paate state a shocking amount of 1102 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,920 Speaker 3: you have done this, like a shocking amount. I'm floored 1103 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 3: with how many of you have done this because I've 1104 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:22,759 Speaker 3: really underestimated you guys. 1105 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 1: That's all I'll say. 1106 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,840 Speaker 3: So we're can let that roll for a little while longer, 1107 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 3: and then we'll just start passingn one hundred dollars gift 1108 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 3: cards and three Chiwlive Supremacy. Let's get back to predictions, 1109 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 3: shall we. I've also got some portal stuff coming up. 1110 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: The portal. It feels like it's. 1111 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,919 Speaker 3: Heating up pretty quickly, so we'll get to that later. 1112 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 3: The ACC Championship game is this Saturday night in Charlotte. 1113 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 3: There's a lot of intrigue around this game. This is 1114 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 3: Clemson versus SMU, whom stood tofunk it right, SMU's favored 1115 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,320 Speaker 3: in the game. That's the first biggest takeaway is SMU 1116 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 3: is It's not like there's some flu like confluence of 1117 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:02,240 Speaker 3: events and. 1118 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:03,760 Speaker 1: Oh look a cute story. 1119 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,279 Speaker 3: SMU's in the game like Pitt was a few years ago, 1120 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 3: but there were a big dog an nah, not SMU's 1121 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 3: there in their favorite by two and a half against Clemson. Preseason, 1122 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 3: jpeepule I went back and looked, if we had these 1123 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 3: two teams matched up, it only would have been Clemson 1124 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 3: minus six. So like SMU has been a pretty wired 1125 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 3: wire team this year. What is Dabos Swinny's record in 1126 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 3: ACC championship games? Does anyone want to guess? He is 1127 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,839 Speaker 3: eight and one and the loss was his first year there, 1128 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 3: which kind of doesn't count but kind of does. So 1129 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 3: he's been deadly in this spot. And he's a dog, which, 1130 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 3: as we all know, is literal oxygen to Dabos Swinny 1131 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 3: at Clemson. 1132 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 1: If you even. 1133 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,719 Speaker 3: Whisper the word doubt, he will hear you from two 1134 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 3: counties over. This is about which team is more explosive. 1135 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 3: So Clemson's offense fifteenth in the country, SMU's defense eleventh 1136 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,240 Speaker 3: in the country. Here's where the rubber meets the rogue. 1137 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 3: SMU's offense is nineteenth. Clemson's defense is one oh seven 1138 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 3: in that category. So that's where if SMU handles this 1139 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,799 Speaker 3: moment correctly, they can find themselves some separation. And then 1140 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 3: the other part of it is SMU is just a 1141 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,439 Speaker 3: really good team. So you're like, wow, groundbreaking analysis there, 1142 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 3: But it matters specifically in the context of Clemson because 1143 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 3: their performance level has not scaled this year. They've been 1144 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,320 Speaker 3: very good against inferior competition and they've been very poor 1145 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 3: when they face equal to or better competition. They have 1146 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 3: faced three teams I would power rate in my top 1147 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 3: twenty this year. They played Georgia and got the door 1148 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,319 Speaker 3: slammed in their face. They scored three points. They played Louisville, 1149 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,359 Speaker 3: they scored twenty one, and honestly, a lot of that 1150 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 3: was backdoor. They played South Carolina and scored fourteen. So 1151 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 3: against top twenty caliber teams by my estimation, twelve point 1152 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,399 Speaker 3: seven points per game, SMU is that caliber team and 1153 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 3: it is a caid clubnit game because of that. 1154 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,160 Speaker 1: The Clemson quarterback there said the. 1155 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 3: Same thing when they face South Carolina last week, he 1156 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 3: is the most important player on the field to me, 1157 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 3: and it last week was a situation where they they 1158 00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 3: got someplace, but it was either an explosive player nothing, 1159 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,959 Speaker 3: They didn't sustain drives, it was feast or famine. South 1160 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,439 Speaker 3: Carolina was able to get after them and pressure them. 1161 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,480 Speaker 1: SMU can do the exact same thing. 1162 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,839 Speaker 3: I need you to know that that's the number two 1163 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 3: pressure rate team in the country, number one by some 1164 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,239 Speaker 3: metrics like SMU is right up there in all of 1165 00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:36,319 Speaker 3: FBS with leading the country in pressure rate. And you 1166 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 3: you do that, you're gonna win this game. The turnover 1167 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 3: profile needs to hold too, though, because Clemson is eleventh 1168 00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 3: and takeaways and SMU is eighty fifth in giveaways. So 1169 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 3: there is a world there where Clemson just flips the 1170 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,319 Speaker 3: game on it's ear and they get out gained and 1171 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,760 Speaker 3: the box score looks one way, but Clemsons through takeaways 1172 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 3: has made it look the other way. I I think 1173 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 3: the presure rate really matters. I think you think about them. 1174 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,040 Speaker 3: Most of America hasn't watched them play. If you're being honest, 1175 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 3: you think points and really they get after it defensively. 1176 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 3: I'm not sold on Clemson being able to run the ball. 1177 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,919 Speaker 3: I am sold on SMU being able to run the ball. 1178 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 3: Forshard Smith is six yards per carry at tailback right now, 1179 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,319 Speaker 3: Kevin Jennings at quarterback is a true dual threat. I 1180 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 3: mean Clemson is going to try and ride film offa 1181 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,760 Speaker 3: I think it'll be tough sledding for Clemson on the ground. 1182 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,840 Speaker 1: And the other question as we go into what the 1183 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 1: model thinks about the game, is Clemson still a big 1184 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,959 Speaker 1: game program. I know they'll put this in the hype video. 1185 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 1: That's fine. It's fair to ask. 1186 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 3: Though they're three and seven in their last games against 1187 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,400 Speaker 3: top ten teams. Is Clemson under Dabos Swinny still a 1188 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 3: big game team? Because there was a once upon a 1189 00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 3: time where I knew I was gonna get their absolute 1190 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,720 Speaker 3: best in the biggest moments. I hadn't gotten that this year. Actually, 1191 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,200 Speaker 3: it's been quite the opposite. So let's take a look 1192 00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 3: at what the model thinks. At FanDuel. SMU is two 1193 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 3: and a half point favorite right now. The model is shorter. 1194 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 3: The model has SMU minus one. I disagree with the model. 1195 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 3: SMU is going to win this game, and they're going 1196 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,800 Speaker 3: to cover because they're the better team and I trust 1197 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 3: them more. 1198 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 1: That's the long and short of it. 1199 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,760 Speaker 3: They're watching us in Huntington Beach, California, Columbia, South Carolina, Ringgold, Georgia. 1200 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 3: A lot of folks tuned in tonight we appreciate it. 1201 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,160 Speaker 3: We continue. Oh, man, got a bad itch on the 1202 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 3: back of my neck. Man, I've talked so much. I 1203 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,640 Speaker 3: gotta take a sip of water. And the thing about 1204 00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 3: it is, I'm pretty antisocial, so I don't talk a 1205 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 3: lot when I leave the studios. Just all in here, 1206 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 3: Big twelve championship game. I'm so ready for this. I'm 1207 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,959 Speaker 3: gonna be there. The whole New Saturday Tour is going 1208 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 3: to Dallas. It's an eleven am local kick. Oh, it's 1209 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 3: Iowa State, It's Arizona State. Neither team has really breathed 1210 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,640 Speaker 3: this air. This is pretty lofty. Iowa State hasn't been 1211 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 3: to this game. Arizona State hadn't been in any kind 1212 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 3: of conference championship game in quite a while. So there's 1213 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 3: the first factor that's unknowable, and that is big game. 1214 00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 3: Who makes too much of it, who overthinks the room, 1215 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 3: who makes uncharacteristic mistakes, There's no way to know that, 1216 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 3: there's no way to know that. One of the tendencies 1217 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 3: that players, both individually and teams collectively have when they 1218 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 3: get in these moments is they convince themselves more is 1219 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 3: necessary than what got you there, so flawed your performance 1220 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 3: level was good enough. 1221 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 1: That's why you're in the game. 1222 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,960 Speaker 3: You don't try it and be any more aversion of 1223 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 3: your stuff than you've already been. That's where mistakes come 1224 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 3: into play, and that's relevant for both teams. You can 1225 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 3: see the key to this game from the space station. 1226 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 3: You don't have to know a thing about football to 1227 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 3: look and say, uh, Cam Scataboo known as Cam Scatterboo 1228 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 3: by some on this staff who shall remain nameless. 1229 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 1: He looks like a stud. Yeah he is. 1230 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 3: Ooh, Iowa State, they're what they're ninety six against the 1231 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 3: that's the game. 1232 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 1: You can't stop him. 1233 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 3: Everything else is fundamental. That's the game. So that part's easy. 1234 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 3: Here's the kicker. The devil is always a little bit 1235 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 3: deeper in the weeds there. It's in the details. He 1236 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 3: can run the ball phenomenally. But let's say it's the 1237 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 3: kind of game where between the twenties, Arizona State is 1238 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 3: running the ball six point five yards per carror. But 1239 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 3: they get down in the red zone a lot. What 1240 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 3: is Arizona State do in the red zone? Not a 1241 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 3: whole lot. They're one hundred and sixteenth in red zone 1242 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 3: offense this year. That'll win or lose this game for them. 1243 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 3: I believe that could be in a given game, just 1244 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 3: like a one game scenario. That could be a ten 1245 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 3: or fifteen points wing in one game over the course 1246 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,919 Speaker 3: of a season, not so much one game. Yes, here's 1247 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 3: the good news for Iowa State. Your offensive strength is 1248 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 3: their defensive strength or weakness rather. Iowa State top forty 1249 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,240 Speaker 3: passing attack not elite, but if you're looking at a strength, 1250 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,160 Speaker 3: that's it for them. Arizona State is sixty ninth or 1251 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 3: so past defense, so there will be plays there to 1252 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 3: be hacked. You need a career game like you need 1253 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 3: a highlight real game from rock O beck You just 1254 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 3: need the ceiling game, kind of like we said about 1255 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,640 Speaker 3: Carson Beckett Georgia. That needs to be the kind of 1256 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 3: afternoon that rock O Beect has. It's not being played 1257 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,480 Speaker 3: in Ames, Iowa. It won't be seventeen degrees at kickoff 1258 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 3: like it was the other night. Neither team really turns 1259 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,360 Speaker 3: the ball over historically like this year they haven't. I mean, 1260 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 3: anything could happen here, but you can't count on that. 1261 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 3: And then on a related note, I just want to 1262 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 3: let you guys know picking this game is one of 1263 01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,000 Speaker 3: the hardest things I've done. It's one of the hardest 1264 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 3: things I've ever had to do in my life. I 1265 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 3: haven't had a very hard life. I'm very close with 1266 01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 3: both of these coaching staffs. I'm very close with both 1267 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 3: of these programs. I've never called myself a journalist on 1268 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 3: this show, if you'll notice, and that is because I 1269 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 3: absolutely have favorites. 1270 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 1: I have rooting interest. 1271 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 3: Bradley, do you have that picture like a case in 1272 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,959 Speaker 3: point here, this has been me at various points this year. 1273 01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 1: These two pictures were. 1274 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,400 Speaker 3: Taken in totally different months of the year, but I 1275 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 3: have been photographed wearing both Iowa State and Arizona State 1276 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:09,880 Speaker 3: garb at certain points this year. So I said to 1277 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 3: myself this morning, you got to be a man, you 1278 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 3: got to be professional, you got to make a pick 1279 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 3: on this game. But then as the show approached, I 1280 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 3: thought to myself, no, I don't because I'm scared. 1281 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 1: I just want to go enjoy things. 1282 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 3: Basically, I want to have a consequence free Saturday, so 1283 01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 3: I don't want to lose so anytime that I don't 1284 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,920 Speaker 3: want to have personal responsibility on this show. I just 1285 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 3: let the model take the fall. So Bradley, let's take 1286 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,400 Speaker 3: a look at what the model thinks about the game. 1287 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 3: We're just gonna put a bandana on our face and 1288 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,040 Speaker 3: we're gonna let the model decide. Well, what do you know? 1289 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,960 Speaker 3: The model thinks the wrong team is favored at FanDuel. 1290 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,360 Speaker 3: Right now, Arizona State's favored by two and a half. 1291 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 3: The model has Iowa State winning by two. I cannot 1292 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 3: stress enough. The model hates you, Arizona State. The model 1293 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,280 Speaker 3: thinks you're trash and oh good, this is this right here. 1294 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:03,640 Speaker 1: You hear it. 1295 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 2: It exists. 1296 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 3: There is a physical model here, and if it's right, 1297 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 3: I will take full credit. However, if it's wrong, it 1298 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 3: ain't on me. Remember I've never made a wrong pick 1299 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 3: in my life. I've either won or the model has 1300 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:22,880 Speaker 3: failed me or kids, coaches and officials. So kids, coaches, officials, 1301 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,800 Speaker 3: and the model lose games. I win games. I've always 1302 01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 3: thought that was a fair compromise, and for some reason 1303 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:29,880 Speaker 3: a lot of people disagree with that. 1304 01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 1: You can bet that game at FanDuel. You can bet 1305 01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:33,760 Speaker 1: any game at FanDuel. 1306 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,040 Speaker 3: We got conference championship games all across the board right now. 1307 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,880 Speaker 3: You can go over there this weekend bet five to 1308 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 3: win one point fifty.

Oh really, what's the catch. 1318 01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,280 Speaker 3: There's no catch. We just want exclusivity. We want you 1319 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 3: to feature us and no other sports book. Like, who 1320 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:20,840 Speaker 3: in the right minds turning that down? 1321 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,360 Speaker 1: What do you are?

All right, lastly, but 1355 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:17,280 Speaker 3: not leastly, do you hear that rumbling in the distance. 1356 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,920 Speaker 3: That's the transfer portal, the transfer portal starting to heat up. 1357 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:25,120 Speaker 3: Miller Moss usc quarterback hopped in the portal. He's the 1358 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:29,040 Speaker 3: number seven ranked player right now in the portal, and 1359 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:33,480 Speaker 3: I'm very intrigued by him because at his best, he 1360 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:36,640 Speaker 3: is a really good quarterback. The narrative shifted on him 1361 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 3: a lot this year. I thought kind of unfairly he 1362 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:43,800 Speaker 3: got benched eventually, and I know that I've watched him 1363 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,680 Speaker 3: at times this year. I watched him play Michigan, and 1364 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 3: I thought, at various times, man at kid's a stud. 1365 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,680 Speaker 1: But he ended up being a little turnover prone. 1366 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,240 Speaker 3: And then also he had an offensive line that really 1367 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 3: wasn't anything to write home about. And he just got 1368 01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,520 Speaker 3: battered this year and he got benched, and I didn't 1369 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,720 Speaker 3: think it was totally his fault. But that's okay, So 1370 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,120 Speaker 3: he'll go somewhere else. I think this could be a 1371 01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:10,320 Speaker 3: rare example of a quarterback that leaves Lincoln Riley and 1372 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,480 Speaker 3: goes and achieves more success elsewhere. It normally happens the 1373 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,680 Speaker 3: other way around, but I'm looking at that. Pete Nakos 1374 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,080 Speaker 3: reported that Michigan, Iowa, Auburn, and Louisville are in the 1375 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,400 Speaker 3: mix there, so let's keep an eye on that. Cayden 1376 01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 3: Salter at Liberty's hopped in the portal as well. He's 1377 01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,400 Speaker 3: already done that one time and then hopped out, but 1378 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 3: he's at Liberty. 1379 01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 1: He had a bad year this year, man. 1380 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:33,919 Speaker 2: Yea. 1381 01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,919 Speaker 3: I never got definitive word on that, but I think 1382 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:37,760 Speaker 3: he had to be hurt. 1383 01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 1: There had to be. 1384 01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 3: Something wrong because this is the same dude that a 1385 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 3: year ago threw for twenty seven hundred yards, thirty one touchdowns, 1386 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 3: five picks, and he was also one thousand yard rusher 1387 01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:52,320 Speaker 3: and this year just not good. Jamie Chadwell's the head 1388 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,760 Speaker 3: coach there right now. His name's been involved in some 1389 01:06:54,760 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 3: coaching searches, most notably UCF, and let's keep an eye 1390 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 3: on that. I'm not saying package dealer or anything. I 1391 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 3: think just one thing's impacting the other by far. If 1392 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:09,000 Speaker 3: you look at the transfer portal right now, the deepest 1393 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,920 Speaker 3: position is wide receiver. Like there are already some big names. 1394 01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 3: Kevin Concepcion from NC State has already gone in. That 1395 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 3: was the ACC Freshman of the Year in twenty twenty three. 1396 01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 3: Colorado in the mix. There Bama, Auburn, Kansas State, Penn State. 1397 01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 3: He's a number two overall player in the portal. There 1398 01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,000 Speaker 3: are seven wide receivers in the top twenty overall players 1399 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,520 Speaker 3: right now. Eric Rivers from FIU, I like him a lot. 1400 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 3: Malachi Coleman's a former top one hundred player from Nebraska. 1401 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,120 Speaker 3: A couple of former five stars here, like Micah Hudson 1402 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 3: from Texas, Texas in the portal. Johntey Cook at Texas 1403 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,440 Speaker 3: is in the portal. But I got to tell you 1404 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:49,680 Speaker 3: digging around today, by far, the names generating the most 1405 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,840 Speaker 3: smoke behind the scenes are names that aren't in the 1406 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,240 Speaker 3: portal yet. So that means we don't know if they're 1407 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 3: going to hop in. Like this happened in spring, and 1408 01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,840 Speaker 3: it burned me because there were a lot of feelers 1409 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,520 Speaker 3: and put out behind the scenes, and so I'm thinking, Okay, 1410 01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 3: this is an inevitability that he's going to eventually enter 1411 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:10,360 Speaker 3: the portal, so I start speaking in coded language. Well, 1412 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,520 Speaker 3: a lot of guys never entered the portal. I look stupid, 1413 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,600 Speaker 3: So I'm not doing that again this cycle. I am 1414 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,559 Speaker 3: just telling you relative to the names I just listed, 1415 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:19,720 Speaker 3: a lot of the names that are being talked about 1416 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 3: in the most behind the scenes are guys who are 1417 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 3: not in the portal yet. I'm not about to run 1418 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 3: my mouth and list those names and then they don't 1419 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,759 Speaker 3: go in the portal. That wouldn't be good. Connor Wigman, 1420 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 3: though as of the past couple of hours, hasn't entered 1421 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 3: the portal. Texas a and M quarterback, and it feels 1422 01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,559 Speaker 3: kind of mutual. It feels like an example of thanks 1423 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 3: for your service, thank you for allowing me to play here. 1424 01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:43,160 Speaker 1: We're both going to go. 1425 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:47,680 Speaker 3: Our separate ways. He's got a lot of ability, just 1426 01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,680 Speaker 3: probably a classic example of a guy who needs a 1427 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,680 Speaker 3: fresh start. There will be no shortage of programs out 1428 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 3: there in need of a quarterback. And remember there are 1429 01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 3: several teams right now. Alabama is their quarterback of twenty 1430 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,559 Speaker 3: twenty five on campus. Miami is their quarterback of twenty 1431 01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:10,680 Speaker 3: twenty five on campus. Auburn absolutely not. Their quarterback of 1432 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five is not on campus. So there are 1433 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 3: a number of teams that are immediately able to spend 1434 01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 3: big and may or definitely will be in the. 1435 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,040 Speaker 1: Market for a quarterback. 1436 01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:26,800 Speaker 3: So then you got to look at the inventory available 1437 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,799 Speaker 3: and say, do any of these guys look like difference makers? 1438 01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,760 Speaker 3: Or here's another way to ask it, are there any 1439 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 3: guys out there who aren't in the portal yet that 1440 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,000 Speaker 3: would make sense for those teams. That's the way you 1441 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,519 Speaker 3: need to be thinking about this. If what I've been 1442 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,640 Speaker 3: told over the past twenty four hours is any kind 1443 01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:46,000 Speaker 3: of indication, oh, caveat, none of that's really happening because 1444 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:46,839 Speaker 3: that would be tampering. 1445 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:48,360 Speaker 1: Just caveat. 1446 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 2: There. 1447 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 3: We live in a world full of angels. They would 1448 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 3: never do such things. Appreciate you guys. Okay, So Thursday 1449 01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:01,599 Speaker 3: shows at the same time.
