1
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: And welcome in Lake Keg is Live. It is Thursday night,

2
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: November eleventh, The over Lord twenty twenty one, jam.

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Packed wall to wall high a top downtown Nashville and unusually,

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: nay suspiciously crowded control room. Just be on this wall here, Finally,

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: actual people in the building aside from just director Colin

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: and I.

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm not speaking ill of Colin. I'm just saying, boy,

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: it gets lonely around here. So hey, if you see

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: an extra fancy graphic or two tonight, it's because our

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: friend Miranda came in and dropped kicking the control board

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: until we can get the sliders to work again. So

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: we're very excited to have a jam packed show and

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: very excited to you know, actually have personnel in the building.

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: Look, just when you guys think you have.

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: This playoff picture figured out, college football will go in.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: It will change the game on you. And so I

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: want you to be very careful as you weighe your

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: way into these second weekends and third weekends of November.

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: I know it looks like it's close. I know it

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: looks like conference championships just around the corner. Look, take

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: it from a guy who drove a twelve seater van

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: across Texas. Don't ever just unsuspiciously walk around any corners.

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: You never know what's waiting around the corner. And I

24
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: want to talk about a few of those games tonight.

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do some predictions that we didn't get

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: to the other night about some week eleven games. I

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: didn't even get to Georgia, Tennessee yet, I didn't even

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: get to Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State. I mean,

29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of potential, very treacherous hurdles out there.

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: And in that vein, we're also going to talk about

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: some playoff disaster scenarios. It's what we're gonna call them tonight.

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: I've got I think three, maybe even four of them.

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: One of them is just holistic like the entire Big ten,

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: or holistically the entire Big twelve. I mean, there's there's

35
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: some really messy situations that we could get ourselves in. Also,

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: the coaching carousel, we have not touched on in about

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: a week week and a half. I like to let

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: that breathe, but it is time to sort of re

39
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: up the intel and whispers and what we're hearing. LSU

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: obviously open USC open, but TCU open from the time being.

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: And as you know, a couple of those that I

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: mentioned are true keystone programs, and that when they make moves,

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: it's not over. That's the beginning of this massive ripple

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: effect chain reaction throughout the sport. And you may sit

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: there and laugh that someone's coach got taken, and then

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: uh oh, that program came and took your coach or

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: your coordinator. So yeah, it stands to reason a lot

48
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: of you should be interested in that Ramanuel Express. Adding

49
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: two more best bets tonight. Some of you thought that

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: I forgot to put the Roman Noodle Express in last

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: week's show or Tuesday night show. And to those of

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: you who think that, I'm gonna tell you, yeah, I

53
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: forgot the other night, so I'm not gonna forget tonight.

54
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: If I do, they are going to yell at me

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: physically through this wall, yell at me.

56
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: So we will remember that. And I'm gonna add two more.

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna have eight before we go off the air tonight,

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: and we're already want to know on the week mactionin

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: those Mac games have been very good to us. Remember,

60
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: be sure you're following because I already put two of

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: them out on Twitter today. If you're not following, I'm

62
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: not saying you're gonna miss them. We're gonna give them

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: out on I'm just saying you may miss a line

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: movement at Late Kick Josh Twitter at Late Kick Josh Instagram.

65
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: I figure that Instagram story is going to be pretty

66
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: lit up this weekend because I'm about to head to

67
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: Texas tomorrow morning, earlier flight than normal. They're making sure

68
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: they got a car for me out there this weekend.

69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm not having a repeat of last week's debacle. So

70
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: let's dive in here. Before I get to predictions for

71
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: the weekend on games that we haven't touched on already,

72
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk tonight for a couple of minutes

73
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: about some disaster playoff scenarios. I'm not talking about, Oh

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: what's the committee going to do with Cincinnati? Oh what

75
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: happens if Georgia loses the SEC title game? That stuff

76
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: is fairly easy to figure out in comparison to some

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: of the things that could happen. So let's walk through

78
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: some of these together because I want you to think

79
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: along with me, because I think our minds may go

80
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: down different paths. Depending on how you're guessing, a playoff

81
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: committee is going to handle some of this.

82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: The first one, which I.

83
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Think is by far the most intriguing, is the potential

84
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: for what we're calling the Big ten bumper car scenario

85
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: to play itself out. And the reason that that could

86
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: be in play is because right now you've got a

87
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: lot of teams that are in the mix. Ohio State's

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: up there, Michigan's up there, Michigan State's up there, but

89
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: they've all still got to largely play each other. For example,

90
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: the games I'm about to list, even though we've only

91
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: got three weeks left in the regular season, all still

92
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: have to happen. You've got, of course, Penn State playing

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: Michigan this Saturday. You've of course got Penn State at

94
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: Michigan State later on this month. You've got Ohio State

95
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: at Michigan to end the regular season. You've got Purdue

96
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: play Ohio State this Saturday. You've got Michigan State going

97
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: to Ohio State. All those games still have to happen now. Obviously,

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: if Ohio State decides to win them all, they're in.

99
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: If Michigan decides to win them all, they're in. Michigan State,

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: for that matter, decides to win them all, then in

101
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: all likelihood they would be in although they wouldn't totally

102
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: control that that still need I guess they would totally

103
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: control that, yeah, because they got the head to head

104
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: there over Michigan. My point is there's one factor that

105
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: you got to keep in mind here. Whereas Michigan already

106
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: has a loss, it is a conference loss, and Michigan

107
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: State already has a loss, Yes, it is a conference loss.

108
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: The Buckeyes they got a loss too, but it's not

109
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: in conference, so they are still unblemished when it comes

110
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: to conference play. Their only loss is to Oregon early

111
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: in the year, out of conference, and so Ohio State theoretically,

112
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: this is where the bumper cars start to really really

113
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: get put in motion. Ohio State, in theory, could lose

114
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: let's say to Purdue Saturday, or let's do a head

115
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: to head, they could lose to Michigan State in a

116
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and yet still if Michigan State were

117
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: to lose one more game, Ohio State, as a two

118
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: loss team is in your Big Ten championship game. So

119
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: you could have a two loss Buckeye team. This is

120
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: not out of the realm of possibility by any stretch. Guys,

121
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: you could have a two loss Big Ten champion there

122
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: in Ohio State, and then you have to ask yourself,

123
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: no longer is the Big Ten champ guaranteed to be in.

124
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: That's when you start to have to ask yourself some

125
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: pretty uncomfortable questions, like, for example, if there's one spot

126
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: left and it comes down to undefeated Cincinnati against too

127
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: last Ohio State. You also could work yourself into a

128
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: situation where you've got.

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: The Big twelve there. We're going to go over the

130
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: Big twelve bumper cars scenario in just a second.

131
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: We've also got to ask ourselves how many spots is

132
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: the SEC taking up at that point? And so the

133
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Big Ten right now, and we have assumed for the

134
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: whole season is minimally going to have one spot.

135
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: It's not an automatic. It's a near certainty, but.

136
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: It's not an automatic because of the utter chaos that

137
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: could unfold in this last month of the season. And

138
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: keep in mind, as is the case nationally, maybe outside

139
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: of Georgia, we are not talking about elite teams here.

140
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Even though I know what these pointspreads look like. These

141
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: are not elite teams. Therefore, you insert a little more

142
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: variance and a little more potential volatility into these equations.

143
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: The next one I want to touch on is when

144
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: I put out on Twitter earlier today, Adam McClintock and

145
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Dave Bartu both do really, really good work. I would

146
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: encourage you to follow each one of those guys on Twitter.

147
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: We're not affiliated with them, but you know, hey, we're friends,

148
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: so that counts for something, right. They do a very

149
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: good job of crunching the numbers using the available data

150
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: that the College foota playoff committee goes by, and they

151
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: can let you know ahead of time what would happen

152
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: if this went down, what would happen if that went down.

153
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: They're also very good at pegging in pretty exact order

154
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: how the committee is going to release these rankings. So

155
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: I say that because I teed them up today and

156
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: I said, let's just pose a scenario. Everyone assumes George

157
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: is going to either win the SEC or at the

158
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: very least be in, and I do too.

159
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: One of those at least is going to happen.

160
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: But I wanted to know because if Georgia doesn't win

161
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: the SEC, everyone assumes it's Bama. That's going to take

162
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: it from them. But what if it was Texas A

163
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: and M. So let's just say Bama's going to lose

164
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: the Iron Bowl and A and M doesn't lose another game.

165
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: That would send A and M to Atlanta where they

166
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: would play Georgia in the SEC title game.

167
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: It would be an upset, I'll grant you that.

168
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: But if A and M were to just win out

169
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: and they win the SEC title game, here's what I

170
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: want to know. Georgia is still in. I mean unless

171
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: they drop another game before then, Georgia would be in.

172
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: They have a good enough resume to where they don't

173
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: even have to win the SEC to be in. What

174
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: I would like to know is if we had an

175
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: undefeated Cincinnati out there conference champ AAC champ thirteen to zero,

176
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: and we had Texas A and M eleven and two.

177
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: Included in those eleven wins is the SEC championship. Not

178
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: only have we never had a two loss team in

179
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: the playoff before, I think that two loss team's ticket

180
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: would be granted.

181
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 3: And if there was only one spot left, I think.

182
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: The committee would put Texas A and M with a

183
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: two loss resume in over an undefeated Cincinnati. Now that's

184
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: where I want you inserted into the equation because I

185
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: want to know what you think, because.

186
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: I floated that past some people today.

187
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: I did some radio hits all across the country today

188
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: and we were kind of chopping that up back and forth.

189
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: And what I found funny was no one was on

190
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: the fence. There were some people who immediately said, oh, Cince,

191
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: he's in two losses. Come on, now, Cincinnati's in. And

192
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: then there were people on the other side.

193
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: For that matter.

194
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: Dave Bartuo, who got back immediately think it's at CFB

195
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: Matrix on Twitter, got back immediately he said, well, number one,

196
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: this is not plausible. I understand that, but we were

197
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: having fun with it, and it is possible. Maybe not plausible,

198
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: but possible. And the second thing he said was, but

199
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: if it happened, this is A and M. I don't

200
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: have to give you my opinion on it. I'm telling

201
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: you the fact of the matter, based on the way

202
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: we know this committee operates.

203
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: A and M would be in. Now, can you stomach that.

204
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: I can.

205
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: That's where I would go. That's where I would lean.

206
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: If you take all the critical metrics, you don't have

207
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: head to head. Obviously, since these strength of schedule is

208
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: going to be in the hundreds. Wow, what just happened

209
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: to me? Did you guys see that you're not even

210
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: listening on podcasts? This sounds like weirdness, but I just

211
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: flew out of the screen for a second. I'm going

212
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: to go back and use that later. I know someone

213
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: sausage finger, They're way to a mistake in there, but

214
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm clipping it. I'm using it later. So I'm just

215
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: leaving that out there because I want to look at

216
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: the comment section. Probably not going to check it tonight.

217
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: I want to go there tomorrow morning. Give it a

218
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: good twelve or so hours to sizzle. Undefeated Cincinnati two

219
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: lost SEC champion Texas A and M. If there's only

220
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: one spot left in the playoff field and you gotta

221
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: choose one, you can't take both, WOMST would you put in?

222
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: How about the Big twelve bumper cars scenario? This is

223
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: one that looks maybe even more likely than the Big ten,

224
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: even if you don't think it's as juicy because it

225
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: doesn't include as many Top ten teams. Remember the games

226
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: that are still left to play. This is why I

227
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: intro the show like this tonight, even though it feels

228
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: like we're almost through, We're not. These games that I'm

229
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: about to list still have to happen. Oklahoma at Baylor.

230
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: That's where we're gonna be this Saturday in Waco, one

231
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: of those beautiful eleven am local time kickoffs. Oh. As

232
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: I said the other night, find someone. My wish for you,

233
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: guys is that you find someone who loves you as

234
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: much as I love noon kickoffs on the East Coast.

235
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: Love them, can't live without them. Oklahoma plays Baylor Saturday.

236
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma also has to play Oklahoma State at the end

237
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: of the year. Baylor goes to Kansas State before the

238
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: end of the year. Oklahoma State they got TCU this Saturday,

239
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: and of course they have Oklahoma. So there's a lot

240
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: of bumper car round robin craziness that could happen here.

241
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: But that's not the extent of it.

242
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: Because remember, whereas in the Big Ten they got your

243
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: division set up to where someone may go play Wisconsin

244
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: or may go play Iowa and be heavily favored in

245
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship game, that's not the way it

246
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: works in the Big Twelve, folks, they take the top two,

247
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: and so outside of the.

248
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: Scheduled games, I just read you.

249
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: We are also highly highly highly likely to see a

250
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: repeat matchup of Oklahoma versus Baylor, or Oklahoma State versus Oklahoma.

251
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: These things are all on the table, and so here's

252
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: what I would love to know. You can obviously paint

253
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: for yourself several disaster scenarios for the Big Twelve where

254
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: they get.

255
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: Left out entirely. Here's what I want to know.

256
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's at eight right now, seven or eight wherever it is,

257
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: and it's because of their strength of scale and lack

258
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: of game control. And I get all that. I'm not

259
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: even I'm not here to litigate that. But what I

260
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: do want to know is what if Oklahoma goes undefeated,

261
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: they win versus Baylor, they win versus Oklahoma State, and

262
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: they got a Iowa State coming up too. By the way,

263
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: I forgot to put that one in. Yes, that's a

264
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: little tidbit to know. Yeah, Iowa State still goes to

265
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma too, so they got a really good strength of

266
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: schedule boost coming. I want to know if it is

267
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: to the point where Oklahoma can afford to lose a game,

268
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: not regular season though, I want to know if they

269
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: would be punished more for losing a game than going

270
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: to win the Big Twelve or making it undefeated to

271
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve title game, then losing in the Big

272
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: Twelve title game.

273
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: And again, this is not in a vacuum.

274
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: You're not just meeting minimum baselines and Okay, you made

275
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: an eighty, so you get a b. That's not the

276
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: way this works. You are compared to the rest of

277
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: the field. So depending on how many spots we have,

278
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: it may still be a moot point. But if you know,

279
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: if let's say Bama does win out and they go

280
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: to Atlanta and they beat Georgia, well that's two spots

281
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: taken up already. If Georgia doesn't lose again, they're in.

282
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: If Oregon wins out, that be in. You know, Ohio State,

283
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: if they're winning out, they're probably in. But you see

284
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: what I'm doing, I'm crowding up that field already before

285
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: we've even gotten to a one loss non Big Twelve

286
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: champion Oklahoma whose only loss is in the title game.

287
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: So don't just assume if they get their undefeated yeah

288
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: it's a shoe in, they're in.

289
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 3: It may be it's not a shoe in.

290
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: Though, especially if they don't have that conference championship in

291
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: their back pocket and the last one I wanted to

292
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: touch on. This will trigger every single one of you.

293
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: It's why I saved it for the end. I call

294
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: it the Irish outrage scenario. I think you're pretty clear

295
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: with where I'm going here, Jesse. You know what, can

296
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: you throw up the rankings again? Because I forget where

297
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is. I know they're in the top ten somewhere.

298
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: You have not mentioned Notre Dame, nor have I to

299
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: be fair, in like a month. So Notre Dame right

300
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: now is sitting down there at number nine. They are

301
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: what an eight to one team? You know who their

302
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: only loss is to? It is number five Cincinnati at home,

303
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: and so if you want to believe in quality losses,

304
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 1: they've got one of those quality losses they've got to

305
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: I can't remember where the strength of schedule is. It's

306
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: not in the hundreds, I can tell you that, and

307
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: they've got very winnable games coming up.

308
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: So here's what I want to know.

309
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I want to know what happens if Notre Dame ends

310
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: up being in this thing. Clearly, what would have to

311
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: happen is the bomb goes off and there's just chaos

312
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: and alarms and screams all over the place, and then

313
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: you wait a few hours and the dust settles, and

314
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's movement over here. And then

315
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: there's some planks that are pushed to the left, and

316
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: there's a boulder or two push to the right, and

317
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: up pops Notre Dame and they say, we made it,

318
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: mark us safe, we survived. We're in the playoff again.

319
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: Every one of you would lose your mind because you

320
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: would say, no one invited you, you can't sit with U.

321
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: You would go full mean girls on them, you can't

322
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: sit with us, you cannot sit here. And yet they

323
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: would say who else you got this? This would admittedly

324
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: be due to a lack of options out there, but

325
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's not out of this.

326
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: Here's how I think this would go.

327
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: You would have to have Georgia went out, and I

328
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: think you would need Bama to lose their second game. Therefore,

329
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: you've got one SEC team in there, So you got

330
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: one SEC team. I think you would also probably need

331
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: a big ten and or big twelve bumper car scenario

332
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: to clear a path somehow for you. And I also

333
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: think it wouldn't hurt at all for Cincinnati to get knocked out.

334
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: While that would somewhat hamper the quality of your loss,

335
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: it would also knock Cincinnati out from in front of you,

336
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: and that have that head to head maybe over you

337
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: if it came time to judge one loss Notre Dame

338
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: against undefeated sinc. If those things happen, and I know,

339
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: granted it's a little bit of a long shot for

340
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: all them to happen, I don't think it's impossible, and

341
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: I certainly think we have some craziness coming Notre Dame.

342
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Let me spoil the ending of the season for you.

343
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: I've got it on good authority they're going to win

344
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: the rest of their games. Even though I think they're

345
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: like a five point favorite against Virginia Saturday. I've got

346
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: it on good authority they're gonna lose. Going to win

347
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: their games. However, that source has been wrong before, so

348
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: if it goes right, credit me. If it goes wrong,

349
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: credit the source. But Notre Dame could still be in this.

350
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: So I just want to know if we get to

351
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: a spot where we're struggling to pick for and Notre

352
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Dame is over there and they've just got their hand up,

353
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: they got their hand up, could we see the Irish

354
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: in Again, I'm sure everyone would handle that with class

355
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: and dignity. So those are some college football playoff disaster scenarios.

356
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: That is not an exhaustive list. I'll be very interested

357
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: to see where you guys go with that. I really

358
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: want to know where you're at on the whole undefeated

359
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: sense against maybe a two loss SEC champion in Texas

360
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: A and M.

361
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: Because you know what they'd say.

362
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: What that committee woulday is well, number one, it's the

363
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: SEC champ. But number two that start doing this thing,

364
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: that starts saying, well, probably someone stroking their chin as

365
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: they say that, Well, you know this kid, this is

366
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: that Kalzada kid. They learned his pronunciation probably fifteen minutes

367
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: before they went on air, This Kalsada kid.

368
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: He was rush off the bench.

369
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, they lost a couple of games, but now

370
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: they're a different team. Like I need the committee telling

371
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: me when a team was and wasn't themselves. Hey, for

372
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: that matter, put Wisconsin in. Now they're a different team.

373
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: But Sensity Flans, you know that's how that would go.

374
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: Cincy backers, you know that's how that would go. So

375
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see if and when we get to

376
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: that point how they justify it. Do they just say

377
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: deal with it? Cal Stone Cold said so, or do

378
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: they try and him haul their way around. You can't

379
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: use the old go to at that point. You can't

380
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: say this will all work itself out. No, you are

381
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: the person at this point who has to work it out.

382
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: So bookmark that to be continued. Academy sports and outdoors

383
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: is essential. You need it in your life or your

384
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: life is not complete. Now, they didn't tell me to

385
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: say that, but I think they'll be happy that I

386
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: did say it.

387
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 3: I just want you to know.

388
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: It poured in Nashville today this time of year that

389
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: normally accompanies a cold front, and yes, that's exactly what

390
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: came through here.

391
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 3: I was looking at.

392
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: The weather forecast for penn State hosting Michigan, and it's

393
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: just so gross beyond words, it is disgusting.

394
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: Jesse.

395
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how you people live with that in

396
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania your whole life. That's where producer Jesse grew up.

397
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: Low forties wind rain, that's the forecast. And so when

398
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: I was up at State College for the Auburn game

399
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, yeah, there was a lot

400
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: of academy gear up there. But most of you were

401
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: wearing short sleeve gear. It was a very very nice night.

402
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: That is not what you have in store, even for

403
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: a noon kickoff this Saturday. Don't be caught off guard,

404
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: and you don't even have to go anywhere to gear up.

405
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: Just go to Academy dot Com. May be hard at

406
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: this point to get it shipped to you, but even

407
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: even for future reference, if you guys need the hookup

408
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: on tailgate gear, if you need supplies, if you need

409
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: decor you know.

410
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: How rarely I use that word.

411
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: It's not written in the copy either, because all I

412
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: have is Academy written on this sheet. Academy dot Com

413
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: is a great supplement if you cannot get yourself physically

414
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: through the doors of an academy sports and outdoors. Right

415
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: before I came on air, I had someone at a

416
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: basketball game in Texas who was sitting behind a couple

417
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: of folks who were sitting in Academy chairs, and there

418
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: was a picture taken, and they sent me the picture

419
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: and said, got two fans of the show sitting in

420
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: front of me. Now, I cannot promise you that one

421
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: hundred percent of people who shop at Academy do watch

422
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: this show, but I can promise you one hundred percent

423
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: of people who watch this show do know about Academy,

424
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: And at that point it's up to you. How much

425
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: do you really want to be a part of the

426
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: lake Kick family here? Because I know you got an

427
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: extra five dollars laying around somewhere, and in the words

428
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: of Michael Scott, you don't need five dollars. You already

429
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: have five dollars or ten or one hundred. You know

430
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: you really really want to feel fancy about yourself. But

431
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: Academy dot Com when you need to gear up, that

432
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: is the place to go, one stop shop for everything.

433
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: They are the official outdoor sporting good supplier of the

434
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: Big twelve. That's where I'm going to be this weekend

435
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: of the SEC That's the footprint I reside in, and

436
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: lake Kick that's the show I represent. Thank you so

437
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: much for Academy being our one Ride or Dies sponsor. Now,

438
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: oh boy, I'm looking at some rumors that I can't

439
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: talk about on a sheet in front of me. They're

440
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: all crossed out, So let's get to the stuff I

441
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: can talk about, at least in good conscience.

442
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: The coaching carousel is something I.

443
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: Think we could have a better nickname for but to

444
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I haven't come up with anything better.

445
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,719
Speaker 1: So let's just talk about coaching, whispers and intel, shall we?

446
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 3: As usual?

447
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: It's November, so no, we don't have vacancies being filled,

448
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: but we do have vacancies if you're listening on podcasts

449
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: right now. As of this moment, the USC job is open,

450
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: as is LSU, TCU Washington State, and last, but not least,

451
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: the Akron Zips are looking for a new head coach.

452
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: And unlike the other jobs I listed, you may actually

453
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: be in the mix for the Akron job. So freshen

454
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: up those resumes, kids, anything as possible. Kevin Garnett, Let's

455
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: talk about the LSU job because some of you, let's

456
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: just be real, it's just us here.

457
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 3: You were made.

458
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: Fools of yesterday. You really thought, in the Year of

459
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: Our Lord twenty twenty one, that Scott Woodward was going

460
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: to travel to Norman, Oklahoma on a publicly trackable tail

461
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: number of a plane and interview Lincoln Riley and what

462
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: bring him back? Some of you you know better. You

463
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: know better, but when you're in love or intoxicated, some

464
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: of you are both when it comes to this coaching

465
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: search your mind and your heart can lead you to believe.

466
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 3: Some crazy things.

467
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: So no, as far as we know, Lincoln Riley was

468
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: not picked up on a jet and interviewed yesterday for

469
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: the LSU job.

470
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 3: Who's to say he's not Monday. I don't know.

471
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: But here's what I do know, without giving names, what

472
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: I am being told. I continue to be told this,

473
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: and I've told you this for like a month now,

474
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: ever since Orgeron got the official boot. I continue to

475
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: be told, do not discount anyone. And so then what

476
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: will happen when I talk to this person. I'll bounce

477
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: some names. They'll say, don't discount anyone, and I'll say, okay,

478
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: what about and They'll say, don't discount anyone. And so

479
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: what I'm doing is I'm throwing names that I think

480
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 1: are untouchable at him, not quite Nick Saban, but not

481
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: far from Nick Saban, and they'll say, do not discount anyone.

482
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: So what that is speaking to without giving specifics, that

483
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: is obviously speaking to the attractive nature of the job,

484
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: which I think, even as highly thought of as it

485
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: is publicly, goes above and beyond in coaching circles. I

486
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: think people think even more highly of the LSU job.

487
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: I told you that same person as well as someone

488
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: in the agency world told me at the outset even

489
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: before Orgeron got fired. We think that job's going to

490
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: open up, and you need to know it is one

491
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: of the highest valued football jobs in American football period,

492
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: NFL or college just football period.

493
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: So I'm taking that advice.

494
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: And when I see a very very truncated list of names,

495
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm not limiting it there. I'm writing that list in pencils.

496
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: So you can throw out Matt Rule if you want to,

497
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: and you can throw out obviously you know, like random

498
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: names like Urban Meyer, but you're going to hear a

499
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: lot of Obviously, Lincoln Riley's big time candidate. Absolutely if

500
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: he'll listen, you talk to him. Mel Tucker is going

501
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: to be in that thing. Yes, Jimbo Fisher's a name.

502
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: I doubt that happens, but that's a name. All those

503
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: are out there. What I'm telling you, and I continue

504
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: to tell you as I have for a month and

505
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: a half, is without giving specific names, because I don't

506
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: know that there's any skill in that right now. To

507
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: be clear, there are going to be people out there,

508
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: both at the college and NFL level that are actual

509
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: candidates for this job whose names you may never hear

510
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: theoretically until they've already interviewed and are about to put

511
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: pen to paper.

512
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: That is how this LSU search could go.

513
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: I do not think that's how, let's say the USC

514
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: search is going to go, or if the USC search

515
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: were to go that way, I don't think it would

516
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: be a bombshell candidate. It's what I'm saying. You could

517
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: have an LSU bombshell candidate that you haven't even so

518
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: much as seen floated in a reputable message board thread,

519
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: which is obviously the lifeblood of coaching searches, and all

520
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden boom over the span of twenty four hours,

521
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: it happens. That's how the LSU search could go. So

522
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: unlike the USC search. I've also been told, and this

523
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: is not breaking news, there is one man making the decision.

524
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: There is some input, but there's one man, Scott Woodward

525
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: obviously making the decision there. I know he's got a

526
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: really good reputation for hires. But the important thing to

527
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: note is it's one man making the decision instead of

528
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: a committee of people who all want to have a

529
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: little bit of input and so you've got to get

530
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: fourteen different folks to sign off, and HR is worried

531
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: about this, and advertising and marketing's worried about this, and.

532
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 3: Then you got some donors over here.

533
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, that's just the way to expedite.

534
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: The next coaching search or a d search.

535
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Be careful. And so Scott Woodward, this is his hire.

536
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: It's absolutely his higher and there is virtually no one

537
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: off limits right now with the resources they have. Florida

538
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: does not have a job opening. To be clear, well,

539
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: they do when it comes to let's say, some coordinator

540
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: positions and often line coach. So Todd Grantham being let

541
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: go as defensive coordinator, John Hevesey let go as offensive

542
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: line coach quickly unfollowed Dan Mullen on Twitter. I mean,

543
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: come on, now, let's not get a little firing after

544
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: twenty some odd years of working together in the way

545
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: of a friendship. But when they want to talk, I'll

546
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: be happy to be the intermediary. I had a question

547
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: on the Late Kick Extra podcast that I recorded and

548
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: released this morning, and the question was, do you think

549
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: Dan Mullen's fate has already been decided one way or

550
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: the other.

551
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 3: And my answer was no, I don't think so.

552
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: Then the follow up was, do you think if he

553
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: wins the remainder of his games this year, dan Mullen

554
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: will be back in twenty twenty two. Now I had

555
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: to stop and think for a little while. My answer is, yes,

556
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: I do think Dan Mullen would be back. So I

557
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: do not think a decision has been made down there

558
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: if they're going to get rid of him, as it

559
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: turns out, I don't think that decision has been made yet.

560
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: So because I believe that, I also believe if he

561
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: does nothing more to further remove his name from the equation.

562
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: In other words, if they just keep winning, I think

563
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: he would remain there. They've got Samford, they got who Missouri,

564
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: and then they got Florida State, So you know, that's

565
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: what a seven win regular season. I was doing radio

566
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: with Mark Ryan today. We were kind of going back

567
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: and forth. Has Dan Mullen done enough? You know my opinion,

568
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 1: I think it is time for a change. There he

569
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: was on the other side, He's a Florida guy, and

570
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: he said his opinion was Dan Mullen has done enough.

571
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: And one of the things he threw at me that

572
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: I disagreed with on air there and I'll disagree with

573
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: here was the winning percentage, which I think is just

574
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: about seven hundred. And I remember when Lloyd Carr was

575
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: on the way out at Michigan and one of the

576
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: folks defending Lloyd Carr at Michigan. I remember this as

577
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: plain this day. It's like fifteen years ago. I remember

578
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: this as plane this day. I was listening to some

579
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: national talk radio and someone called in and said, how

580
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: can you fire a guy who's winning seventy percent of

581
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: his games? The way you fire him is because he's

582
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: only winning seventy percent of his games at Michigan. And

583
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: the way theoretically if you wanted to make a move

584
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: on Dan Mullen that you would justify it is he's

585
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: only winning a little over seventy percent of.

586
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: His games at Florida. That's not good enough.

587
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: I know, seventy percent sounds good. It's not good enough

588
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: to be only at seventy percent. Well, all the advantages

589
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: you have. If thirty percent of the sport had a

590
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: resource advantage over you, then it would be great. You'd

591
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: be par you'd be even par winning seventy percent. But

592
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: you don't.

593
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 3: You're in the top ten of the sport.

594
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: You gotta win more than seventy percent of your games

595
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: if you're in the top ten percent at the very

596
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: least of the sport. So with that in mind, he

597
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: could lose another game and then things could totally go

598
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: off the rails. It is my belief that they passed

599
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: the point of no return anyway. And to restate why

600
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: I think that, it's not an emotion thing, although it

601
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: has changed recently. It's because I'm looking at it and

602
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: understanding what it would take for Dan Mullen to turn

603
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: things around down there, and it would require some good

604
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: recruiting classes already in the house to save them. And

605
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know that those overly special classes have

606
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: already been brought on campus. I definitely do not think

607
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: any kind of recruiting momentum is building.

608
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 3: In fact, it's going the opposite way.

609
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: Staff overhaul is the main reason why I'm ready to

610
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 1: move on. It's because of what is needed that I

611
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be able to get done. To be clear,

612
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: what is needed is not only to fire some folks.

613
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: You've got to bring in better replacements, and they've got

614
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: to be not only on field, guys. They got to

615
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: be phenomenal recruiters. They've got to supplement what you, quite

616
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: frankly don't bring to the table. And I'm telling you

617
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: as plain as I can tell you, and trying to

618
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: be respectful about it. People don't view this place as

619
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: somewhere it's safe to go right now. The comparison I've

620
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: been given for a couple of weeks now was when

621
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, who is now the defensive coordinator at Notre

622
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Dame and was at Cincinnati last year. When he was

623
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: on the market, there was a lot he liked about LSU,

624
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: but he ended up at Notre Dame because enough people

625
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: got in his ear and told him that coaching staff's

626
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: got one more year max at LSU and they'll be gone.

627
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: Whoever that was was right, And I'm telling you they're

628
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: saying the same thing about Dan Mullen right now. And

629
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: because of that, the word around the assistant coaching water

630
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: cooler is I don't know that I want to go

631
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: down there, especially the ones with options at the top

632
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: of the food chain, who by very nature of what

633
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: you need, are the ones that you're going to try

634
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: and go get. Secondly, there is a thought out there.

635
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: I cannot personally attest to this because I've never worked

636
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: for Dan Mullen. But secondly, there is a thought out

637
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: there that Dan Mullin is not the most fun guy

638
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: in the world to coach for or to work with.

639
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: That is not first hand information. I've just heard that

640
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: from some people inside that industry. Now, Nick Saban's not

641
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: easy to work for either. What is the difference here?

642
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: You know you've got championships in your future with Nick Saban,

643
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: and at the very least, if you don't want to

644
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: stay there for a decade, you know that you've got

645
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: a next wrong or two on the ladder that you're

646
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: going to be able to climb because you worked with

647
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Where has Dan Mullen indicated to you if

648
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: you are a potential candidate that he can achieve that

649
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: for You see where I mean and where I'm going

650
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: with that. So that's where Florida is right now. I

651
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: also think that they've lost a majority of the fan

652
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: base down there, if that matters to you. I think

653
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: they've lost a majority of the fan base. So those

654
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: are the reasons why I think it probably is time

655
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: for them to move on at TCU very quickly. Sonny Dikes,

656
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: who we had on the show like a year and

657
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: a half ago, really really good guy.

658
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: The talk out in Texas was when.

659
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: TCU seemingly abruptly moved on from Gary Patterson. The closer

660
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: you get to that situation out there, most people understood

661
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: they made that move because they wanted to get ahead

662
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: of Texas Tech, because both of them were looking at

663
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: Sonny Dikes and what he was doing at SMU and saying,

664
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: if he can do that there, we could he do here?

665
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: And so TCU moved and it looks like they're going

666
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: to get Sonny Dikes. Nothing is finalized, at least when

667
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: it comes to pen on paper, but it looks like

668
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: that's where they're going to end up. So having said that,

669
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: then obviously if that happens, that opens up SMU. It

670
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: was reported last week and I think this is dead

671
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: on the money that Sunday Dykes has an extension offer

672
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: from SMU just sitting on his desk and it hasn't

673
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: been signed. I'm gonna let you guess why that hasn't

674
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: been done. But those are where some of those coaching

675
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: searches are right now. Look, I wanted to do ten

676
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: minutes on the Akron job. They told me we don't

677
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: have time. I said, don't we broadcast on the internet,

678
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: don't we have unlimited time? And then they ripped the

679
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: Akron notes up in front of me, really disrespectful. Tell

680
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: you what, you mess with the zips at your own peril.

681
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the week eleven spotlight, where I

682
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: will not break down an Akron game. Some games we

683
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: didn't get to the other night that I wanted to

684
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: get to. Tonight, Georgia is laying twenty at Tennessee. There's

685
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: been a little buzz around the South this week, mainly

686
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: because people have waited for Georgia to play an offense

687
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: with a pulse, so they finally do that Saturday at

688
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: Niland Stadium. It is the three point thirty Eastern Time

689
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: game of the Week on CBS. I'm very interested to

690
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: see how Georgia handles Tennessee's tempo in this because it's

691
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: just not something that they faced a lot. You know

692
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: what it almost feels like for Georgia. It almost feels

693
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: like all these teams in the Big Ten when they

694
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: face Ohio State, you say, ooh, how are they going

695
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: to deal with that passing game of Ohio State. Let's

696
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: go look at how they've dealt with other good passing

697
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: offenses this year. And then you look, and you look,

698
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: and you look. Oh, there is no other passing offense

699
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: up there like Ohio State. Well, when it comes to

700
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: Georgia's schedule, they really haven't faced an offense that replicates

701
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: or even comes close to doing what Tennessee does. That

702
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they won't be able to handle it. It

703
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: just means we have no clue how they'll handle it.

704
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: Very interested, so number one to see how Georgia deals

705
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: with that, because it could be that Tennessee stings them

706
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: early and george is a little staggered, you know, the

707
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: old cattle pride to the neck effect. But listen, there's

708
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: a reason why that's risky and why every team in America.

709
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: Doesn't do it.

710
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: It could really snowball on Tennessee early too. It could be.

711
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: Three and out, three and out, three and out.

712
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: Georgia's all of a sudden, got a twenty five to

713
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: seven plays run advantage at the end of one quarter.

714
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: Zero And by the way, this is where I want

715
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: to remind you that Tennessee's defense was on the field

716
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine play against Kentucky last week. So yeah, it's

717
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: high risk, high reward, but there's no other way Tennessee

718
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: knows how to play. I think though, quick passing, tempo based, rhythmic,

719
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff that you normally talk about Tennessee.

720
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: I think it's important with Georgia too, because one of

721
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: the edges, if you want to call it an edge,

722
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: that Tennessee has, is they've been really good at generating pressure.

723
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: They've been really good at disrupting quarterbacks. And so I'm

724
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: looking right now and I'm looking at Stetson Bennett, and

725
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking at where Georgia can have the most success.

726
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: And they lost Arian Smith, who I really thought was

727
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: coming on for him, and that's a very very big

728
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: blow for them. May not matter Saturday, but it's a

729
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: big blow for him down the road. Absent just that

730
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: home run, grand slam deep threat. What they need to

731
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: do early is they need to hit themselves about five

732
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: or six quick slant passes, or they need to work

733
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: out on the perimeter screen game, and they need to

734
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: loosen that box up a little bit. Because I can

735
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: tell you I don't care what stets and Bennett's done

736
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: so far. Every defensive coordinator you face for the remainder

737
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: of the season is going to make that guy prove

738
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: that he can beat them with his arm before they

739
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: adjust philosophically.

740
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: And so I think that's what they have to do.

741
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Georgia and that offs for

742
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: coaching staff specifically will do Saturday. So here's where I

743
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: am on this game. I plugged it into the model,

744
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: and the model, of course, likes Georgia to win, so

745
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily smelling an upset, but it is smelling

746
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: a Tennessee cover. And so it's got Georgia by about seventeen.

747
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: So I'm taking Georgia to win. I will take Tennessee

748
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: to cover. This is a classic example of a game

749
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: where even if the favorite were to win a lah

750
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: Alabama over LSU last week, Yeah, Alabama won, but you

751
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: looked at that and all kinds of alarm bells went

752
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: off in your head. So I'm not saying it's going

753
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: to be this drastic in this game. It's an example

754
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: of a game where possibly you come out of and

755
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: you say, do you see the Georgia game?

756
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 3: No, what happened?

757
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: Well, they won, but man, Tennessee did this this and this.

758
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: Just keep that in the back of.

759
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 3: Your mind down the road. It's that kind of game.

760
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: Possibly or Georgia could win to nothing like they did

761
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 1: the last time I was up there for that game.

762
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: Michigan is now a one and a half point favorite

763
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: on the road at Penn State. So, as I said,

764
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: this is a new and eastern time kickoff, I believe

765
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: the network is ABC. Yeah, listen, our model loves Penn State.

766
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: So am I mad a little bit that we could

767
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: have waited later in the week and gotten points instead

768
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: of taking it at a pick. No, not really, because

769
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: I think Penn State's gonna win the game either way.

770
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to go in reverse order obviously, where I

771
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: give you the pick and then justify it. But the

772
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: weather is not a question here. The weather is just

773
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: going to be sketch aff all afternoon. You're gonna have wind.

774
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: It's a low forties, it's rain, it's disgusting to everything

775
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: you would expect Michigan at Penn State in early to

776
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: mid November to be. So here's what Penn State has

777
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: to bank on. Because a couple of things you probably

778
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: know coming into this is Michigan's probably gonna be able

779
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: to run the ball, okay, and Penn State's not because

780
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: that has been the identity of these respective teams all year.

781
00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 3: Penn State's won some games in spite of that.

782
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: But what they need to do is, at its very core,

783
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: the same thing Michigan State knew they needed to do

784
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: against Michigan. Remember when we were just sitting here, we

785
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: were making up metaphorical phrases for that Michigan State Michigan game,

786
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: and I said, it's kind of like Python versus popcorn dropper.

787
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: Michigan will just choke you to death, whereas Michigan State's

788
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: got a big play you to death. Well, Penn State,

789
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: in theory, has to do the same thing. The difference

790
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: is Penn State does not have a Heisman caliber running

791
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: back like Kenneth Walker to find the end zone five times.

792
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: What they do have is Seawan Clifford. Now, stop laughing,

793
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,959
Speaker 1: because Seawan Clifford has played his best football, at least statistically,

794
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: over the last couple of games. They lost at Ohio State.

795
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: I'm not blaming it on him. They beat Maryland last week,

796
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: had another good game. Let's just assume he's getting a

797
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: little bit more healthy and they've all of a sudden

798
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: realized up there, No, we're not going to have Dotson forever.

799
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: Let's use him as much as we possibly can. Let's

800
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: make sure we get him the ball. John Dotson even

801
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: had a great song come out. Not sure what record

802
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: label it was on this week, but it came out,

803
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: and so why not follow that up with about eleven

804
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and seventy nine yards and two scores.

805
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: Even through the wind and rain.

806
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: I think Penn State's going to win this game, and

807
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: obviously I think they're going to cover in the process.

808
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: It's one of our best bets of the week, so

809
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: they better. What about Miami at Florida State? Boy, I

810
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: am longing for the day where we have reason to

811
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: break this game down on our feature Tuesday show instead

812
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: of waiting for Thursday. Miami is a two and a

813
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: half point favorite. This is a three thirty Eastern time

814
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: kickoff on ESPN. Miami survived what was a very underrated

815
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: ambush spot last week. We were on Georgia Tech with

816
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: plus the points four reasons that we spelled out last week. Look,

817
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: Miami had a shot to lose that game last week,

818
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: but they didn't. Now, some of you trashed them because

819
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: they only won by three or whatever the final score was.

820
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: We were impressed by that because we just viewed the

821
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: game differently. So now they go on the road, and

822
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: now we're looking at one key factor to me in

823
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: this game, and that is how well can Florida State

824
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: run the ball? If they're running it early, I don't

825
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: necessarily think there's an adjustment coming that stops it.

826
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 3: And so Florida State's going to.

827
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: Have a good afternoon. Probably not going to run for

828
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: four hundred yards, but I think it would stand to

829
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: reason they've got a good shot, and you'll know early

830
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: on if they're getting stoned against the run versus five

831
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: and a half or six yards per carry big difference.

832
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: And here's why it's a big difference. On the Miami side.

833
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: Tyler Van Dyke, the quarterback there, has played well. He's

834
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: come in, he's played well. How much pressure is going

835
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: to be on Tyler Van Dyke in this game because

836
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: he's already played under pressure a couple of times. But

837
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: the more you go on the road in this game

838
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: and face some pressure and face some half two third downs,

839
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: the more likely you are, as a first year starter to.

840
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: Make some game costing mistakes.

841
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: Florida State's got to be able to run the ball,

842
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: to put up an off offense and therefore points on

843
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: the board, and control the game enough to where it

844
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: is one possession either way, at least to where Tyler

845
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: Van Dyke has to beat you instead of oh, Miami

846
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: beat him. Van Dyke had an OK afternoon. They didn't

847
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: really need him. That's what you can't have. Also, very

848
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: curious about what kind of factor dope Campbell's Stadium is

849
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: in this game. Not a night game. Three point thirty

850
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: should be a good atmosphere. There's no reason for it

851
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: not to be. We'll see right now. Miami minus two

852
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: and a half is one of our favorite bets of

853
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: the week, So obviously we're taking Miami to win, and

854
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: we're taking Miami minus the points. Last game I wanted

855
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: to touch on because I'm going a different way in

856
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: this game than what.

857
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 3: I can tell.

858
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: The majority of the public is perdue at Ohio State.

859
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: Ohio State is minus twenty one. Right before we came

860
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: on the AR, I was looking at some books out there.

861
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: There are even some twenty and a half's out there. Saturday,

862
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: three point thirty Eastern ABC. My immediate feel on this

863
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: game is Ohio State blowout because of a very very

864
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: bad dynamics spot. Normally, you know, it's a rubber band

865
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 1: effect both ways in this game, and that spells bad

866
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: news for Purdue. Here's what I mean. Last week, you

867
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: and Ohio State have to survive on the road at Nebraska.

868
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: That is obviously an underachievement relative to point spread expectation. Now,

869
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: typically you have a progression regression to the mean. Well,

870
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: that would rubber band Ohio State upwards. Perdue meanwhile pulls

871
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: off the outright upset over Michigan State, and that was

872
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: well above point spread expectations, which means you would figure

873
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: they rubber band down and they pass each other in

874
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: the process. And I know that's a big number. You're

875
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: looking at Ohio State. Oh they almost lost last week,

876
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: and oh Purdue, they already took down two top five teams.

877
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 3: They don't even have to win.

878
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: You're giving me twenty one points just telling you what

879
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: I love because I'm going to take Ohio State to

880
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: win and cover. And the reason I love the Buckeye

881
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: so much this week is because that offensive line, which

882
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: make no mistake, has the capability to play at the

883
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: best level in the country on any given Saturday, has

884
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: been trashed all week. And Caleb well, I mean not

885
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. We'll talk abou him a little bit later. CJ.

886
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 3: Stroud has been trashed all week.

887
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: I mean there have been some really derogatory terms being

888
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: thrown around Columbus, Ohio in the surrounding area about his unwillingness,

889
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: not inability, let me stress, unwillingness to grab an extra

890
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: yard or two. And these folks are not wrong, by

891
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: the way, when they're questioning I'm not gonna say toughness,

892
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: well they are, I'm not doing it. But some people

893
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: are questioning toughness. And there have been some times, like

894
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: I said on the Sunday Show, where I watch CJ.

895
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: Stroud and I see an extra chunk of green and

896
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't take it. I'm not talking about like I said,

897
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: Calzada lowering his shoulder into a safety. I'm not talking

898
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: about that. And he was asked about it this week

899
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: and he said, I'm not here to run the ball.

900
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm here to play quarterback. I'm here to throw the ball.

901
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So I'm not interested in that anyway. Whatever

902
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: he said public notwithstanding, I think he'll get one of

903
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: the best performances from CJ. Stroud in that receiving core

904
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: of the season this Saturday, and I think Ohio State

905
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: will win and I think they'll cover. So those are

906
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: some more games we're looking at, and of course, as usual,

907
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: a game that we did not mention is probably going

908
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: to end up being what we lead the show with

909
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Let's get out of here with the latest

910
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: best bets on the Rama Noudle Express. We're already one

911
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: to oh on the week. This time last week, we

912
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: were already two and oh on the week. So let's

913
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 1: just go ahead and circle Central Michigan. Thank you very much, Chips,

914
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: they covered the three. These are the games we're on quickly,

915
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: I'll read the ones we've already handed out, and then

916
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: i'll give you the two new ones. We've got Penn

917
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: State right at a pick. We are on Texas Tech

918
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: plus ten. We're on Miami minus two and a half,

919
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: Central Florida plus seven and a half. East Carolina plus six.

920
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: Those are the games we're already on as of a

921
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: couple hours ago. You already got these if you follow

922
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: on Twitter at late Kick Josh. We are adding Kentucky

923
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: minus twenty one. Hold off. If you are looking at

924
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,879
