1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: I want you all to be careful. I want you

2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: to have fun. Welcome back. I know a lot of

3
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: you are back. You frankly, you selfishly recognize.

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: The off season. But that's okay.

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: We've been here the whole time. But it's okay. You

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: can come back now, a lot of folks coming back

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: to the college football table. But I want you to

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: come back with an open heart and an open mind.

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: And I give you the same warning that Mema used

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: to give me all the time, Me Mall when speaking

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: about week zero. Actually, week zero didn't exist in me

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: Mall's time. Me and Mall when speaking about week one,

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: used to always say, and I'm gonna say again. The

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: wise man makes observations. The foolish man draws conclusions. We

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: are jam packed, as jam packed as we could ever be.

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: We are high top a picturesque downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday Night,

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: August twenty fifth, the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Florida State Wow, Georgia Tech Wow. Same word, very different

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: meaning there. Do you think that this season is giving

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: off some pretty big chaos vibes? We're not even into

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: week one yet, but already I'm getting the sense we

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: kind of found out some stuff about Florida State. The

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: only difference between Florida State and several of our other

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: top ten, Top twenty, Top twenty five is teams is

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: we're about to find out about them. There's some posers

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: out there amongst us, and who knows who they are? Well,

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll try and pick through it. Tonight, I got

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: an updated JP Pole, unprecedented. I am releasing a second

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: edition of the JP Pole before ninety eight percent of

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: you have even played a game. But I thought it

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: was necessary because one of our top ten teams was

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: not and that's the way it goes. Power ratings are

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: not rankings, but sometimes you can fall pretty quickly down.

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: The power ratings if you well, if you do what

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: Florida State did yesterday. So I've got that.

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: I've got two, not one, two additions to weak Ones

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Noodle Express Tonight, Welcome back to the Rama Noodle Express

38
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: presented by Fan Duel.

39
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: Now they're watching us in Oxford, Mississippi.

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Silsby, Texas, spring Hill, Florida, Seattle, Washington.

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: I would recommend you, guys, it's mosey on over to

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: the socials and make sure you're following me at Late

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: Kick Josh. You know, some news broke yesterday, some rumblings

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: turned into reports that I will be collaborating with someone tomorrow.

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: I believe we're gonna record it later tonight. And look,

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to drop any names. I mean, you'll

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: probably hear him with Gus Johnson this weekend calling whichever

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: game Fox has.

49
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to drop any names, but I think it.

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I think it could be pretty groundbreaking, and so that'll

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: be fun. You find these things out if you're following

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: on Instagram or Twitter at Late Kick Josh. Okay, let's

53
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: dive into the show. I want to be responsible. This

54
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: is our first game breakdown of the year, so I

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: want to be very responsible. The way we do it

56
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: around here is a little different. So Georgia Tech, what.

57
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Does this say?

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Colin twenty four, Florida State two twenty one, So the

59
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: double digit favorite Seminole's go down in Ireland. It counts

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: even if it's in another country. You got to have

61
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: your head on a swivel. This time of year. There

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: are beliefs and then there are just these working theories.

63
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: And I've always been in the opinion that even though

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: we go through all of spring, and we go through

65
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: all of summer, and you go through media days and

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: you go through fall camp, the best you can hope

67
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: to have on these teams.

68
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: Are really these loose sets of working theories. For instance,

69
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: there was a strong working theory out there in the

70
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: college football ether that am I reading this piece of

71
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: paper right, Florida State had the best defensive line in

72
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: the country. Well, that was one way to look at it.

73
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: The other way to look at it is the view

74
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: that Georgia Tech had yesterday, and they said, no, not

75
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: so fast. This is a Greg mattic special of a game.

76
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: For those of you who weren't around.

77
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: Greg maddis used to routinely get them out of there

78
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: in under two hours and then make a nine to

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: thirty dinner time if they were on the road or whatever.

80
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Greg Maddox wasted no time. Greg Maddix did even seek

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: the strikeout. Greg Maddox wanted you put in the ball

82
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: in play the first two or three pitches of the

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: bat because that just gets the game over.

84
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: Quicker, That gets in back to the dugout. Quicker.

85
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: Listen to this our first paper pop stat of the year.

86
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: Fourteen total drives in this game. Seven drives were four

87
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: plus minutes, only two drives were less than two minutes. Now,

88
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm about to hit you with the first padlock stat

89
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: of the year. FSU in the final twenty one minutes

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: and nineteen seconds of this game one drive final twenty

91
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: one minutes, six nineteen to go in the third quarter.

92
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: From that point on, FSU touched the ball one time

93
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Sixty seven runs, forty three

94
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: passes in this game. So the most glaring aspect of

95
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: this to me was line of scrimmage play. I think

96
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: most of you who watched this game you think the

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: same thing. You think, Oh man, Georgia Tech really put

98
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: them on skates. Yeah, yeah, that's part of what stood out.

99
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: But that wasn't the alarming part. That was just a

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: football game. We'll see that happen every week this year,

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: to varying degrees. You want a padlock stat number two,

102
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: and then I'll tell you what alarmed me. Padlock stat

103
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: number two Georgia Tech. Imagine seeing this stat. For those

104
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: of you who were new around here, the padlock stat

105
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: is if I were to tell you this stat the

106
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: day before the game, you'd pretty well know how the

107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: game was going to turn out. Georgia Tech one hundred

108
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: and ninety to ninety eight, rushing advantage, Georgia Tech eighty

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: nine to twenty, eighty nine to twenty. They outrushed Florida

110
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: State in the second half. That wasn't supposed to happen.

111
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: Now here's the alarming part. Those are just stats. That's

112
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: just a football game. The alarming part is the closer

113
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: you got to this Florida State program over the past month,

114
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: the more confident folks sounded about their running game, and

115
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: the more confident folks sounded about their impenetrable defensive front.

116
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 1: Maybe my word not theirs, but we heard Pete Famil

117
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: on game day yesterday.

118
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: You think Pete Hamill didn't make that up.

119
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: Pete Tamil was regurgitating intel that was given to him,

120
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: probably from inside the program. Folks around the FSU program,

121
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: Folks on the FSU beat, Folks working for different team websites.

122
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: They were getting drug over the cohls last night. They're

123
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: members in some cases asking for refunds. Why because they

124
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: felt misled. Because a lot of folks who report.

125
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: On this team misled me.

126
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: You told me that we were gonna be good, and

127
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: then I saw us and we weren't. And so this

128
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: could be one of two things. I have my suspicions

129
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: as to which.

130
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: One it is.

131
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes a collective media beat around a team will just

132
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: get caught wish casting. Wish casting is absent any real information.

133
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: You just start making it up as you go, and

134
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: you end up painting a picture of a team that

135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: ends up further and further away from what the reality

136
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: of that team is. Now. The reason I don't think

137
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: that's what this was was because most time, if coaches,

138
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: if they're any anywhere near smart enough to rein it in,

139
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: if they start to sense that the hype bubble around

140
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: their programs getting too big.

141
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: They'll go pop it themselves.

142
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: They'll read an article, they'll look at a gallery on

143
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: a message board, they'll go look at a segment we do,

144
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, and they'll reach out and say, hey,

145
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: might I want to pump the brakes?

146
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: Now, pump it just a little bit.

147
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna make me look terrible because you're gonna build

148
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: us up to be something we aren't. And then Week

149
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: one is gonna come and we're gonna diappoint everyone, and

150
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: folks are gonna be mad at me because of the

151
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: hype you built. So sure, the folks around Florida State

152
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: and the media beat there, they could have been wish casting.

153
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: Pete Thamil could have been wish casting. He could have

154
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: just decided on the flight over to Dublin. You know,

155
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on national TV and I'm gonna say

156
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: I think this team's got the best defensive line in

157
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: the country. Yeah, that's one theory. The other theory, the

158
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: one I happened to prescribe to, is they were just

159
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: regurgitating intel that people inside the program gave them. Now

160
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: that is a little more alarming because that means folks

161
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: inside Florida State thought they had the best defensive line

162
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: in the country. Folks inside Florida State, folks who you know,

163
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: do football for a living. Those folks thought that they

164
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: were going to dominate upfront. Those folks thought that line

165
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and run game were going to be their

166
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: bread and butter here. And if DJ's not great, if

167
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: DJ can't stretch the field vertically, that's okay. We'll just

168
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: rock fight this thing early and then well we'll give

169
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: our offense timed a round into form, and that is

170
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: a little more alarming because that paints a picture of

171
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: a coaching staff that may not have a firm grasp

172
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: on what the football team was.

173
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: I don't know which the case is.

174
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: I just know collectively, a lot of folks got hoodwinked

175
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: on this, and I'm not as close to the program obviously,

176
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: it's like a lot of other people were talking about.

177
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: But even I watched it and I said, whoa, this

178
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: is not at all match up with what I heard

179
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: and what I thought I should expect here. So the

180
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: other side to that is, maybe maybe it's not quite

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: as bad as it seems. Because I was texting back

182
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: and forth with Danny Canel yesterday.

183
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: He's still alive.

184
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go as far as to say

185
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: he's okay, but I can confess he's still with us.

186
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: This is not a Daniel Canell memorial show just yet,

187
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: but I was texting back and forth with him. Look, honestly,

188
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: it's my job to nurse him back, to help emotionally

189
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: in times like these, And so I did say, Daniel.

190
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: Now, one of the big mistakes that people make.

191
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily mean this, but One of the big

192
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: mistakes people make is sometimes when there's an upset early

193
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: in the year, everyone talks about how the favorite was overrated,

194
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: but hardly anyone takes time to acknowledge maybe the underdog

195
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: was underrated. Maybe Georgia Tech's just a whole lot better.

196
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a healthy dose of both in play

197
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: right now. But I will say, solid, solid golf clap

198
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: for Brent Key and Georgia Tech. We've always asked the show.

199
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: We've always the question on this show, who's going to

200
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: figure out how to harness Atlanta, Texas A and M

201
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: is the biggest sleeping giant program in the sport. I've

202
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: always thought Arizona State's up there, and there are a

203
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: couple of other North Carolina Like if North Carolina ever

204
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: got right, I think they could be a really, really

205
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: solid program. Georgia Tech's pretty high on that list. They

206
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: always have been.

207
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: For me.

208
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: I grew up in Georgia, I grew up an hour

209
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: south of Atlanta. Boys had I thought a pretty good

210
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: read on the program. I thought Jeff Collins, for example,

211
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: I thought there was a half decent chance he'd come

212
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: in there and he'd do that. A lot of stuff

213
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: happened that I didn't necessarily expect and it didn't end

214
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: up being Jeff Collins. So now Brent Key takes over,

215
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: and what if I told you, well, first off, we

216
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: have a post it pop here boom, the first post

217
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: it pop of the year, Georgia techs all of a

218
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: sudden five and o versus ranked ACC teams under Brent

219
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: keyth Hello, that stat kind of snuck up on a

220
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: lot of you. I'm not done. They've completely remade the program.

221
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: Most of you found that out for the first time.

222
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: Yesterday they had listen to this. Now, they had five

223
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: scoring drives all of last year that were ten plays

224
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: and six plus minutes are longer.

225
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: All of twenty twenty three.

226
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: They had five scoring drives that were ten plays six

227
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: minutes are longer. They had three of them yesterday, three

228
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: of them in one afternoon. So who can harness Atlanta?

229
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Well maybe it was brin Key after all. Harnessing Atlanta

230
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: just simply means, do you understand how inexcusable it is

231
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: that we, for a long time have had a major

232
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: power four power five program at the intersection of the

233
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: SEC and the ACC, which is Atlanta, Georgia right there

234
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: in the heart of the hottest geographical recruiting bed in

235
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: the South, and it's been irrelevant. Georgia Tech hasn't even

236
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: been the biggest name in their own city in college

237
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: football for a long time. I always looked at it

238
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: and I said why, and all people could ever tell

239
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: me as well, academics, and I used to always tell them,

240
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: you're telling me that's the only place. I mean, this

241
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: is right smack dab in the middle of David Shaw

242
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: dominating at Stanford. By the way, you're telling me that's

243
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: the only place. It's a little tough to get into.

244
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: You're telling me that you can't find twenty to twenty

245
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: five kids any given year that are qualified to get

246
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: into Georgia Tech that can also do a few things

247
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: on the football field. I always thought that was stupid.

248
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: It is.

249
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: It has been stupid for a long time. So Georgia Tech, man,

250
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: let's see what they do this year. I'm going to

251
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: show you where they are on the JP pole a

252
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: little bit later. Where does Florida State go from here?

253
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Is a question that I'm not asking tonight, only because

254
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: I've seen it asked everywhere else today.

255
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: So it's semantics.

256
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not taking a shot in anyone, But

257
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys now, who are big

258
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: expansionists out there? Do you really believe in this twelve

259
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: team playoff or not? Because some of the same folks

260
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: out there who sold me on one game not being

261
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: the end of the world for a team because you

262
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: can afford to lose, or painting it is the end

263
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: of the world because Florida State lost. Florida State may

264
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: lose four games this year for all I know, or

265
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: they may never lose again for all I know. But

266
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: what's next for Florida State. Well, you get back to

267
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: work and you go play Boston College. As best I

268
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: can tell, that's what's next for Florida State. It's not

269
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: like they lost a boxing match and their next one's

270
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: a year and a half from now. It's not like

271
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: they had their souls sucked out of them. Well they

272
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: better not have. But everybody's piling dj Uyangalilea for being

273
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: basically the quarterback he's been his entire career. That was

274
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: the least surprising thing to me yesterday that dj Uyangala

275
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: didn't take over the game.

276
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: He's not a guy who takes over games.

277
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: He is a guy who probably needs help from his

278
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: supporting cast and didn't get enough of it. And look,

279
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: if I didn't know any better, and I'll watch that

280
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: game yesterday. Is almost like watching that Bama team back

281
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one where Bryce Young had to go

282
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: hero ball on every play because it seemed like after

283
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: the ball gets snapped, everyone just waits on him to

284
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: do something. Well, this is not the cat to do that,

285
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: So it's gonna have to be a collective effort there

286
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: at Florida State. But man three tackles for loss and

287
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: zero sacks for that defensive front. Meanwhile Georgia Tech racks

288
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: up seven tackles for loss. They're that much better than you,

289
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: are You serious? You gotta have some pride in that

290
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: defensive line room. It takes more. It takes more than

291
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: just going into spring and then everyone writing positive articles

292
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: about you and then you just kind of surf.

293
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: It's like ride a wave into the season.

294
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: The rents do every you don't get to do some

295
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: things and then rest on those laurels. You guys haven't

296
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: done anything, by the way, You're not last year's team.

297
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: You haven't done anything. So you got a spear on

298
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: the side of your helmet because they thought you were

299
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: good enough to wear it. That's not how football works, like,

300
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: that's not how being a big time team at Florida

301
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: State works. So now the ACC picture just to give

302
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: you some updated odds courtesy of our friends at FanDuel,

303
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: Clemson is now favored to win this conference. Miami is

304
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: right on their heels.

305
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: Second.

306
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: Florida State and NC State are tied for having the

307
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: third best odds, and Florida State just lost a conference game,

308
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: and Louisville and Virginia Tech are what one, two, three, four, fifth,

309
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: and sixth respectively. Rhett Lashly and the boys barely escape

310
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: Nevada last night with a win. They're at plus twelve hundred.

311
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: So now, all of a sudden, one two, three, four,

312
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: five six, we got two four, so we got seven

313
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: teams plus twelve hundred better odds. We got sixteen in

314
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: the single digit odds, which just means the ACC all

315
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden looks like a richer Man's version of

316
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: the Big twelve in a sense that you got a

317
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: bunch of teams that perceptionally could make a move. I

318
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: also thought Brad Crawford had a really good point today

319
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: and he pointed out that Florida State's got a conference

320
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: loss now, so down the road, they don't play Virginia Tech,

321
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: they don't play in C State, So both of those

322
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: teams could lose a game. As long as they beat

323
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, and both of them played Georgia Tech, they'd

324
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: have a tiebreaker over Florida State. Just to give an

325
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: idea of the eight ball that Florida State kind of

326
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: put themselves behind. Now Florida State wins every one of

327
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: their remaining games, they'll go to the ACC Championship game.

328
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: Can they win those games? What are they gonna look

329
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: like against Boston College? We shall see. We are going

330
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: to be in Gainesville, Florida. This suck it down there Friday.

331
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: I think wooish red in here, cane vibes, colin Wow,

332
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,239
Speaker 1: we should.

333
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: Get the Flames.

334
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: So I'm going to be in Gainesville, and I'm going

335
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: to be their courtesy of Quick Trip, because the whole

336
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: New Saturday tour is Howard by Quick Trip. And I

337
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: know a lot of you are watching right now, Like

338
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: we've got five or six thousand folks watching live. A

339
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: lot of you are new. We do this every week

340
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: of every college football season. Now Quick Trip is hopped

341
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: on board as our presenting sponsor for this, But I

342
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: go to most of the time, the biggest game in

343
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: the country every time, the game I choose to go

344
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: to every week, and so we try and get to

345
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: as many of them as we can. We're gonna be

346
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,479
Speaker 1: down there Friday. Friday night. Lines will emanate from Gainesville

347
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: in some hotel rooms somewhere in Florida this Friday night.

348
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: More on that later, but we're looking forward to this.

349
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: We have given away dozens and dozens and dozens of gallons,

350
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: multiple tanks tie I guess the plural of tanks of

351
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: free gas this week alone. You know how fun that

352
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: is when you partner with a major gas station corporation

353
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: and they just say, just go give away a bunch

354
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: of gas.

355
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: What are the rules?

356
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: There are no rules, just give away the gas. Really well,

357
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: I've had fun with that, and a lot of you

358
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: guys have too. Now my advice download their app. Download

359
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: their app because it's going to help you. Even if

360
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't give you free gas, it's going to lower

361
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: the cost your gas anyway. There's a QR code on

362
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: the screen right now, but you can just go download

363
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: the wrap on your own, if you're not watching, if

364
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: you're listening on podcast. Quick Trip's been awesome to work with.

365
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: It's almost like one of our staffers left us, went

366
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: to Quick Trip and then immediately partnered with us. That's

367
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: the kind of synergy we've had with them. That's been fun.

368
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: And the season hasn't really even started yet, so we're

369
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: looking really forward to getting on the road with them

370
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: this fall. Meanwhile, speaking of this fall, yesterday, fairly chaotic.

371
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of you were at

372
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: least surprised, if not outright shocked by what you saw.

373
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: So Colin, here's a good endpoint for you.

374
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: Florida State fall into Georgia Tech double digit favorite. Not

375
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: the biggest upset we've ever seen, but since it was

376
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: the first thing you saw this year, I think it

377
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 1: grabbed a lot of you by the shoulders and just

378
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: violently shook you, and you reminded you that this is

379
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: college football. Doesn't really matter what your preview magazine says,

380
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: and by the way, I've got Pick six previews right

381
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: here in front of me, thank you, Brett.

382
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter even what that says.

383
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: It matters that anything could happen in this sport, especially

384
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: early on. So I got the thinking, Okay, Florida State,

385
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: we've already seen them. Surely there'll be more upsets in

386
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: week one. Surely there'll be a whole lot more chaos.

387
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: How chaotic could this season be? See a lot of

388
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: you start me included, Not just a lot of you,

389
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: a lot of us. Watch that Florida State upset And

390
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: it's not just Florida State gets beat, it's Florida State

391
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: got beat? Is that the last time they're going to

392
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: lose this year? Florida State got beat? Wow, who's the

393
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: favorite in the ACC?

394
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: Now?

395
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: Florida State got beat by Georgia Tech. How good could

396
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech be? So there's this big ripple effect off

397
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: of everything that happens in this sport, some more chaotic

398
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: than others. And I'm asking myself, what are the real

399
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: chaos pivot points this year? What are the things that

400
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: if they happened, it would just blow the entire sport

401
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: up and would be on the fast track to two

402
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: thousand and seven two point zero.

403
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 2: If you don't know, look it up, kids.

404
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: So I got to thinking, and I've got some scenarios here,

405
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: but I'd love to hear from you guys as well.

406
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: There is this chance.

407
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Since we have the new expanded playoff, there's an auto

408
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: bid for the G five. You know, everyone's everyone's record

409
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: and everyone when they projected me included I put Memphis

410
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: in there. I had Memphis going like eleven and one

411
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: or something like that, and I thought they'd get in

412
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: over an undefeated Liberty. But hey, what if it doesn't

413
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: happen like that. What if the highest ranked G five

414
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: conference champ is ranked in the twenties, but they get

415
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: a spot just because some rule says they get a spot.

416
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: Now that sounds crazy, It's not crazy at all. Last year,

417
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: Liberty at the end of the year was the highest

418
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: ranked G five conference champ. They were twenty third. So

419
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: if nothing else besides last year gets copied and pasted here,

420
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: we're going to have a team ranked in the twenties

421
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: put in the College Football Playoff just because someone said

422
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: they deserve a shot. Tulane the year before, number sixteen,

423
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: they're in. So yeah, there could be a situation where

424
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: someone's ranked eighth and they get in, and it makes

425
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: perfect sense. There could also be a situation where someone's

426
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: ranked twenty fourth and they get in and it's at

427
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: that point you guys look around in Oh, that's what

428
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: that means. That's what the G five auto bid means.

429
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing at the end of the

430
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: year that could happen. But I'm thinking, like, what if

431
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: the ACC loses more Week one games? So Florida State

432
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: lost to Georgia Tech, but then we get into Week

433
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: one this coming week will predict these games? Tuesday night,

434
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Miami goes to Florida, it's a really big game for

435
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: the ACC. Clemson plays Georgia. What if the ACC goes

436
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: zero to two there? What if by the time the

437
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: dust settles on Week one Florida State, Miami, and Clemson

438
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: all have losses. Now, that doesn't derail your conference championship hopes.

439
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: In fact, these two Clemson and Miami don't even play

440
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: conference games in Week one, But what we'd be talking

441
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: about already before Week two even gets here. We'd be

442
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: talking about how the ACC is only going to be

443
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: able to get one team in the playoff. And it's

444
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: just I rub my temples already thinking about how we're

445
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: talking about the playoff and how many conference and spots

446
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have. It couldn't be me but it may

447
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: be so that could happen. But also, hey, in the meantime,

448
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: the conference race would be wide open. You're looking at

449
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: the odds to win this thing again this year. Louisville,

450
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, n C State, SMU would be even more

451
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: in the.

452
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: Thick of it.

453
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: And that's before we know what Georgia Tech does. Syracuse

454
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: floating around out there with one of the most workable

455
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: schedules this year. That right there, if we have Miami

456
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: and or but especially if we have Miami and Clemson

457
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: fall in Week one and then Tennessee plays NC State

458
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: the next week, that could be really really bad, really

459
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: really quickly. Or it could be a huge, huge momentum

460
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: shift for the ACC if they win them. Quarterback play

461
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. I'll tell you what would cause

462
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: a true chaos situation. What if the quarterbacks just aren't

463
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: good in the Big Ten this year. I'm talking about

464
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: all of them. I'm talking about what if Will Howard

465
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: is average at best at Ohio State and we're all

466
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: watching them play and it's one of the most talented

467
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: teams we've ever seen, except it's very obvious the relative

468
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: week link is quarterback, and we're all waiting for the

469
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: inevitability that they need to win a shootout in the

470
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: playoffs and it's not there. What if we have that?

471
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: What if Cade McNamara is what most folks expect him

472
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: to be and nothing more at Iowa. What if Alex

473
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Orgy is average and nothing more at Michigan. I'm Dylan

474
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: Gabriel at Oregon. Dylan Gabriel. I have a hard time

475
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: picturing him not having a good year. But what if

476
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel is the kind of guy where you're watching

477
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: him and Ohio State goes up there in week five

478
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: or week six and that secondary just shuts him down,

479
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: and you figure, well, this is a guy who's going

480
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: to rack up a lot of stats, but is he

481
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: really going to be there at the end of the day.

482
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: What if all that happens, Well, a couple of things.

483
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: Number one, it would it would probably put a pretty

484
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: low ceiling on the big tens odds come postseason. But

485
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: number two, I didn't mention USC for a reason. Lincoln

486
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: Riley is going to get good quarter back play, always has,

487
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: always will. So there is no world where to me,

488
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: Miller Moss is bad. Miller Moss is well below expectations,

489
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: so they may not be able to stop molasses in December. Like,

490
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: that's what remains to be seen about USC. But if

491
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the conference is down at the quarterback

492
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: position and Lincoln Riley's USC is not, then that's how

493
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: USC is in the Big Ten championship picture. That's how

494
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: US could all of a sudden boom. I mean, like

495
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: Tyler van Dyke is at Wisconsin. What if what if

496
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: I Drew Aler does not take any kind of next

497
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: step whatsoever at Penn State. All of this is foreseeable

498
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: like that could actually happen. And the other one is Nebraska. Nebraska,

499
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: what if Matt Rule in the midst of a lot

500
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: of mediocrity, pulls a really good freshman year out of

501
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: Dylan Ryola.

502
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 2: That is chaotic in the Big Ten.

503
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: What if we go to the SEC and we look

504
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: at all these playoff odds, and we look at the

505
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: rankings and the JP poll included, which is not a ranking,

506
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: and there are all these SEC teams up there. What

507
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: if none of these SEC teams are elite? That would

508
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: be chaotic. What if Georgia's really not all that much

509
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: compared to Georgia teams in the past upfront? What if

510
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: they get bitten by how inexperienced they are in their secondary.

511
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: What if that happens.

512
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: What if, for example, LSU really is not improved defensively,

513
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: What if Jalen Milroe does.

514
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: Not mesh with that Kaalin debor offense.

515
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: What if injuries test Alabama's depth early and it's just

516
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: not there, especially in the secondary on defense. A lot

517
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: of what ifs there that could actually happen. You know,

518
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: Texas at running back, what if that really is a

519
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: terminal flaw, a flaw in the overall balance and functionality

520
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: of their offense. Well, then you have a recipe for

521
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: a couple of things happening. You have the next tier

522
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: of teams that could easily jump up in the mix.

523
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: And you know, like I didn't mention Tennessee there, Well,

524
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: if some of those teams are down and Tennessee just

525
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: is what you expect them to be, you know, they

526
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: pop against NC State early, they all of a sudden

527
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: inject themselves in the conversation Miami against Florida. What if

528
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: Florida ends up winning that thing? No one's gonna expect

529
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: anything from Florida because of the schedule, but Florida could

530
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: at least be a nightmare for other teams to play.

531
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: What if Texas A and M beats a Notre Dame

532
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: by thirteen in week one, and all of a sudden

533
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: everyone saying, Mike Elko a contender, Well, that could happen.

534
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: The other thing is, we're gonna know pretty quickly. You

535
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: were watching Florida State yesterday and it's a closer game

536
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: than you expect, And maybe you're sitting there live betting

537
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: the game, and you still you expect Florida State to

538
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: pull away, but it's just not happening, and you're sitting

539
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: there your second guessing everything you thought you knew about

540
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: this team that early in the year. Well, what if

541
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: you're watching Bama versus Wisconsin in like week three and

542
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: you're already questioning Alabama. What if the week before, Texas

543
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: is at Michigan and Texas has got twelve points on

544
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: the board late in the third quarter and they're just

545
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: getting stoned. What if Clemson is in a dogfight with

546
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: Georgia in the fourth quarter and that one's really ugly

547
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: and it's like twenty three all then all of a sudden,

548
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: everyone is looking and saying, well, maybe there's not a

549
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: big gap between any one of these teams and the

550
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: rest of that field. And that's how Missouri's Shark Finn

551
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: just gets bigger and bigger offshore. That's how old Missus

552
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: Shark Finn just gets bigger and bigger offshore, Old Missus

553
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: Shark Finn actually comes on land.

554
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 2: Sometimes.

555
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: That would be chaotic in the SEC and then the

556
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: conference that is known for chaos, the actual chaos path

557
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve would be what if there isn't

558
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of it? What if instead of the

559
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: usual eight or nine team deep league of teams capable

560
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: of winning it, you're looking at the fan duel lodge

561
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: right now.

562
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: We got to go all the way down to Texas

563
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: Tech two four six eight.

564
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: We got nine teams with plus eighteen hundred odds or

565
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: better to win the thing.

566
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: Well, what if Kansas.

567
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: State separates themselves, Utah separates themselves, and let's just pick

568
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: one more TCU. There's a world TCU extremely underrated by

569
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: the way. I hadn't talked about him all summer, and

570
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm mad about it because we got him as a

571
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: top thirty team in the JP Pole and I haven't

572
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: spoken a word about him. So there's a world where

573
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: Kansas State, Utah on TCU could all go eleven and

574
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: one or twelve and zero because they don't all play

575
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: each other. So what if that were to happen, because

576
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: that's not what anyone expects. What we'll expect is a

577
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: jumbled mess and an inferior conference and you get one

578
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: team which is your conference champ in the playoff. But

579
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: what if that's not the case. What if all of

580
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, we look and we say, no, there's there's

581
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: three teams actually, and they keep winning every week. You

582
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: remember a couple of years ago, for example, you never

583
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: would have thought a team could afford to lose the

584
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: Big Twelve championship game and still make it in the playoff,

585
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: but they.

586
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: Did, TCU did.

587
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: TCU didn't win the conference, Kansas State did, and then

588
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: tc US still had a good enough resume where they

589
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: get in. So what if this year you get down

590
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: the line and you're thinking, all of a sudden, and wow,

591
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve could happen at large bid here, maybe

592
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve gets a couple of teams in because

593
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: instead of a convoluted mess, there was some separation, which

594
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: may not be great for entertainment. Sake, but it's great

595
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: for the conference's viability of getting more than one team in.

596
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: Is the reputation already baked in? A lot of folks

597
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: have already convinced themselves the Big Twelve is getting one

598
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: team in? Well, does the committee feel that way? Could

599
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: there be chaos elsewhere? That makes it even more obvious

600
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: that we got some pretty clean resumes here in the

601
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. And then there's this other nightmare scenario for everyone.

602
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: This isn't even chaos. This is a nightmare to me

603
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: because I'm a regular season guy. Over the playoff. There

604
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: is it's got to be like a specific situation. But

605
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: there are some situations out there where some really uncomfortable

606
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: conversations about load management happens late in the year and

607
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: resting starters happens late in the year. Now, I will

608
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: admit to you, number one, I hate this conversation. Number two,

609
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: I think it's unlikely to happen. Number three, it's not impossible.

610
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: Let me paint you a couple of scenarios. So let's

611
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: say you have a team that begins and ends their

612
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: season with non conference games. USC is a good example.

613
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: Clemson is a good example. So USC and Clemson. USC

614
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: plays LSU Week one. Clemson plays Georgia Week one. They're

615
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: both dogs in the game, so they could both lose.

616
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: They could both be oh to one, but that's okay

617
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: because it's not a conference game, all right. So then

618
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: let's say USC and Clemson start off oh to one,

619
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: but they both go through their regular season, they lose

620
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: one more game. It's a conference game. They lose one

621
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: more game, but they're good enough to where they get

622
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: to the end of the road. They don't play conference

623
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: games in the final week of the year, so they

624
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: know they've got a trip to the conference title game

625
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: locked up, all right, And especially in Clemson's case. Let's

626
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: say the accs down this year, so they go into

627
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: the South Carolina game, they're already a two loss team,

628
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: and before they even go to South Carolina, they know

629
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: their only shot of making the playoff is the next week.

630
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: Winning the conference title.

631
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: Game doesn't even matter because the only shot they have

632
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: is the auto bid they would get from winning the conference.

633
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: Otherwise they're not going to be in How do they

634
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: handle the South Carolina game? I know what you guys

635
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: are thinking to yourselves up in South Carolina or over

636
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: in South Carolina. You're thinking, this would never matter in

637
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: a rivalry game like this, The sanctity and integrity of

638
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: that rivalry game is worth more than it is to me.

639
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Is it worth more than that

640
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: to head coaches? Is it worth more than that to

641
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: people with incentives in their contract? Is it worth more

642
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: to universities that know they stand to substantially financially gain

643
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: from punching their ticket to the postseason, winning a conference title, etc.

644
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: It is. It is an outlier of a scenario. But

645
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: if you don't think that you could have a what

646
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: it be a nine and two Clemson. I'm using Clemson

647
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: as an example. Nine and two Clemson and they're going

648
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: into the South Carolina game, and you already know, regardless

649
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: of the outcome of that game, your postseason hopes are

650
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: riding on the next week because you're already in a

651
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: water down acc looking at the situation where only the

652
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: conference champ's going to get in. There is no at

653
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: large hope for you. You could you could beat clem you

654
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: could beat South Carolina into a coma. If you go

655
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: lose a third game, even if it's your conference title game,

656
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: you're not going to get in how are you handling

657
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: your rotation there? For the South Carolina game Utah. Utah

658
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: goes to UCF the last week of the regular season.

659
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: What if Utah already has a spot in the Big

660
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: Twelve championship game locked up and everyone's already come to

661
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: realize the Big Twelve is going to get one spot

662
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: in the playoff, it's going to be for the conference

663
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: champ Do they rest starters on the road even if

664
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: it's a conference game, if they know they're already locked in,

665
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: it's irrelevant, totally irrelevant. So we're in a situation now

666
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: where we get auto bids and that's how we determine,

667
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: and that's how we determined first round bys. And doesn't

668
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: matter if you've got six losses somehow, if you want

669
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: a conference, you get in. That could create some really

670
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: interesting and compromised positions for head coaches at the end.

671
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: Of the row. Hope it doesn't happen.

672
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: Could cause chaos, though Academy Sports and Outdoors not known

673
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: for chaos. They are known for well everything else. Let

674
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: me tell you what this company's done for me, pretty

675
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: much everything. They bring the show to you free of charge. However,

676
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: because of Academy Sports, and Outdoors, and standing in line there,

677
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: I was reminded that big league chew still exists. I

678
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: used to survive on that stuff. I used to watch

679
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: like Will Clark, former Mississippi State bulldog playing for San Francisco.

680
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: We have that huge chew in the side of his mouth,

681
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: and I'd say, Dad, can I get some?

682
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: And say no, you're six.

683
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: You can't have tobacco products and we don't use it anyway, kids,

684
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: but you can't have big league cheo. All right, So

685
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: I was six then, Well, the thing about it is

686
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: I never really grew out of wanting to have big

687
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: lead chew in my mouth, but I grew out of

688
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: knowing where to find it until I go to Academy

689
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors, where you can find pretty much everything

690
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: you need in life, sporting goods, outdoor camping, equipment, biking, grilling,

691
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: but you can also find big league chew in the

692
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: checkout line. This story is going somewhere. So this past

693
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: week I'm scrolling through my dms trying to reply to

694
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: some of you guys.

695
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: Guess who DM me. Big League qu DMed me and.

696
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: They asked my favorite flavor and I said yes, and

697
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: they said, say no more.

698
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: We're sending you a whole bunch.

699
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: And I gave this company my home address without a

700
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: second thought. They could be Somemalian hackers for all I know,

701
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: but they hacked the right account because I will open

702
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: my doors any day of the week for big league chew,

703
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: which came because of Academy sports and outdoors. So guys

704
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: are going back to school right now. You guys are

705
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: going back to sports right now. Most of you are

706
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: going to a game this fall. I know you're gonna tailgate.

707
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: I know, my audience. These folks are like tailgating headquarters.

708
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: Everything that you could need, even some stuff you don't

709
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: know you need, you got it at Academy. I mean,

710
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: what is a Saturday morning on campus without looking across

711
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: a sea of Academy chairs and grills and tents. And

712
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: Academy doesn't make their own grill, but they carry pitpaws

713
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: and trager and charboil.

714
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 2: They carry all of them. So we appreciate them.

715
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: All Right, let me put some trapstick on or some lipbom,

716
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: whatever that stuff's called. It's about to get really serious here.

717
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys watching. I see a lot of

718
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: people saying they don't have an academy in their backyard

719
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: in the chat Academy dot com.

720
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: You don't have one in the DMV.

721
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: I know you guys got internet up in Maryland, so

722
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: check out Academy dot com.

723
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: Thank you for your feedback.

724
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: So it's time to release the Week one edition of

725
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: the JP Pole. The JP Pole is not actually a pole.

726
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: You guys are right. I'm just not changing the name

727
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: because the name JP Pole is very catchy and it

728
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: is a marketing slogan. And if you don't like it,

729
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't really care. That's disrespectful. I care, but just

730
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: not enough to change it. The Jppole is a power rating,

731
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: no different than if we were an odds maker and

732
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: we ran our sports book over here. These would be

733
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: the raw numbers we use to generate point spreads. That's

734
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: how Washington kept winning last year. That's how Washington beat

735
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: Oregon last year, but stayed beneath Oregon. Doesn't mean they're

736
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: necessarily incapable of beating Oregon again.

737
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: In fact, they did two times.

738
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: The dirty little secret around Vegas is last year Washington

739
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: would have been a dog a third time if they

740
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: faced Oregon.

741
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: And if you disagree with these, you get to go

742
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: bet on them.

743
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: That's fine, But by and large, a power rating model

744
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: I have a lot more fun with than a ranking

745
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: model because your wins and losses don't matter here. Necessarily,

746
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: you aren't what your record says you are. Necessarily. It

747
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: is about a little bit different way to view teams.

748
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: So I've got our own model here, and it's got

749
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: everything could possibly have plugged into it. These are preseason numbers,

750
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: so they are as loose as we will have in

751
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: the numerical format all year. This stuff fluctuates a whole lot.

752
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: You gotta be if you're gonna be resolute behind this stuff,

753
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: you've also got to be willing to pivot on a dime.

754
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: So I'm about to show you because we got Florida

755
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: State's new rating into this, so I'll show you how

756
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: far they fell. So let's start off, Jesse and Colin,

757
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: let's roll through this. Let me give you a little

758
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: idea of the gap between teams as well. I see

759
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: the disclaimer on the screen. I appreciate that number one

760
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: through five is unchanged. So Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas,

761
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: and Alabama are the first five.

762
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: That's the same as it was a month ago.

763
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: Now all I've done is I've talked to as many

764
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: people as I can from fall camps.

765
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 2: Injuries have been baked in here.

766
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: Texas, even with the running back injuries, wasn't enough to

767
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: drop them below Alabama. Just give you an idea of

768
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: the gap here. We would have Georgia favored by about

769
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: six point seventy five points against Alabama right now, so

770
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: close to a touchdown. Gap one through five, now six

771
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: through tens. Where it gets interesting. You would think Penn

772
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: State being the number six team is really high. I

773
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: think it's a little high too, not absurdly high. But

774
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: if I were to rank these teams, I'd have a

775
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: few of these teams ahead of Old Miss or ahead

776
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: of Penn State. But the model is like sky high

777
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: on Penn State. Penn State's the new Texas. Apparently the

778
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: model was high on Texas forever and now everyone's high

779
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: on Texas. So the model had to find a new

780
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: pet project, and apparently it's Penn State. Here's what's interesting.

781
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: There's not a whole lot of drop off between BAMA

782
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: and Penn State. The drop off is between Penn State

783
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: and Old Miss. There's a two point drop off between

784
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: number six and number seven. Which just means on a

785
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: neutral field, the model would favor Penn State by two

786
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: over Old Miss. Then all of you would proceed to

787
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: go bet Old Miss plus two. I know that this

788
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: is what the model thinks, and we all know I've

789
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: always been right on this. If anything was ever wrong,

790
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: it was the model's fault that it was wrong. So

791
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,479
Speaker 1: Ole Miss is number seven, Notre Dame is number eight.

792
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: Virtually unchanged. They drop one spot. They I think changed

793
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: places with Old Miss Michigan. I bumped them up too,

794
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: had them at eleven, they're at nine now A and

795
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: M bumped them up three or four spots. I think

796
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 1: something like that. That was just due to Camp Intel

797
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: didn't change them a lot. I mean to get bumped

798
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: up one or two spots, you probably get bumped up

799
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: a quarter of a point on your power rating. So

800
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: that's just a good old fashioned camp Intel bump. There,

801
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: number eleven through fifteen. What do we see here? Camp

802
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: Intel bump from Tennessee, which is interesting because they had

803
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: a big injury to their nickel in fall Camp but

804
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: in the aggregate heard enough things that Tennessee I think

805
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: got a half a point bump. Not huge, but it's

806
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: enough to bump you up three spots. Oklahoma's twelve. Miami

807
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: pretty good bump there better depth and versatility in the

808
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: offensive backfield than I thought they had. Elijah Arroyo, really

809
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: good player, and so I also think that they got

810
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: they got some young dbs with a fair amount of

811
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: hope there, especially one corner. So they're up five spots.

812
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: They're at number thirteen, Miami's at thirteen. LSU's at fourteen.

813
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: LSU a little too much talk about turnovers with nuts

814
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: in fall camp for me to just remain unchanged on them.

815
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: So they dropped four spots, which means they dropped three

816
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: quarters of a point.

817
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: Not a huge deal. Missouri's at fifteen. Let's continue.

818
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: Oh by the way, by the way, as Colin rolled

819
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: the slide there, just to finish on that, Miami's thirteen.

820
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you in a second, we've got Florida

821
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: at twenty one. Miami goes to Florida, which means we

822
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: have to bake in home field. The model has Miami

823
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: minus one and a half Miami winning by one and

824
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: a half this Saturday, which is close to what the

825
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: point spread is, so in other words, it would not

826
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: be at all shocking, and it would not invalidate anything

827
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: in the model's eyes if Florida at home as the

828
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: number twenty one team beat Miami. However, I know what's coming.

829
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: If Florida wins that thing twenty four to twenty this Saturday,

830
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: I will get inundated with people who call Miami overrated

831
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: and it was a farce, and where's your JP pole now?

832
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: And don't worry, We'll be right back your Sunday to

833
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: defend ourselves as only we can. But just understand, if

834
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: that happened, it's not too far out of line with

835
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: what the model would expect with these teams rated where

836
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: they are now number sixteen through twenty, Kansas State sixteen,

837
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: same as they were, Utah seventeen, same as they were.

838
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: Hearing some half decent things on USC some people, and

839
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: it's been hard to get out there for fall camp,

840
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: but there are some people who have been able to

841
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: see some practices USC maybe just a little bit better,

842
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: maybe just a hair better than the old model thought

843
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: they were. So we bumped them up two spots. Clemson

844
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: is the same. There's Florida State. Florida State plummeted, Florida

845
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: State fell all the way to twentieth. That was a

846
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: three and three quarter point drop. Pretty substantial, Pretty substantial.

847
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: Now there are some who will look at this and say,

848
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: why is Georgia Tech not ahead of Florida State. Well,

849
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: that's because Florida State would still be favored against Georgia

850
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: Tech if they played tomorrow by a pretty healthy them

851
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: out by six or seven points probably. So this is

852
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: where you figure out whether this may make sense to

853
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: you or not. There is no odds maker in his

854
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: right mind that would favor Georgia Tech on a neutral

855
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: field against Florida State if they played tomorrow, even though

856
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: they just played on a neutral field and Georgia Tech

857
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: won the football game.

858
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 2: Which they fully deserve to.

859
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: And if I were ranking the teams, I would have

860
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech ahead of Florida State. But this is not

861
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: a ranking. It is everyone a power rating. So that's

862
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: the difference. Josh, Well, what sense does it make to

863
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: power rate? If it doesn't make sense to you, this

864
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: is not the video for you.

865
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: It's very simple.

866
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: I like to do this because it's a different kind

867
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: of exercise and it's a lot more data based and

868
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: not so emotion based. That's why twenty one through twenty five,

869
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: Florida's number twenty one unchanged, Oklahoma State twenty two, Wisconsin

870
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: twenty three, Iowa twenty four dropped him down two spots

871
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: simply because their projected starter at quarterback actually is starting

872
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,959
Speaker 1: for them, which disheartens me a little bit. And Iowa

873
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 1: states at twenty five. I just tweeted the JP poll

874
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: out even though I'm live on air as we finished

875
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: the segment, just because I want to see my phone

876
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: light up over here to my immediate left as the

877
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: show goes on. So there you go. Now, my promise

878
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: to you a lot of fluidity in these numbers, so

879
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: my promise to you there will be movement. Georgia plays

880
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: Clemson this Saturday. Ohio State plays Akron. Oh prayers for

881
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: Akron early running for Sarah McLaughlin special Akron getting fifty

882
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: and a half against Ohio State. Oregon plays I can't

883
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: remember who Overgon plays Texas Bama. So probably won't have

884
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: any upsets in the top five unless Clemson pulls one

885
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: off against Georgia. And by the way, man, if that happened,

886
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: if Clemson were to beat Georgia again, not the biggest

887
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: upset in the world. Just remember we did the most

888
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: Talented teams thing the other day, Clemson, at least, if

889
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: you believe the twenty four to seven Sports Talent Composite,

890
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 1: fifth most talented roster in the country, getting nearly two

891
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns against Georgia, the number two most talented roster in

892
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: the country. Let us move on, let us move on. Oh,

893
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: by the way, Colin, did I show you this? Let's

894
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: see how this pops in here. So the good thing

895
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: about running your own store is you get the early prototypes.

896
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: I think that the patches on the hats look great.

897
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: So if you're listening on podcast, oh it smells great too.

898
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: I think that we're about to reopen the pet State store,

899
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: and these hats are sweet. I think we're going to

900
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: sell roughly seventy five million of these, so they're going

901
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: to sell out whenever we put them up. Peytstatemterial dot com.

902
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: It's not open yet. I'll let you know when it's opening.

903
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: But these things right here, i'd wear this now, I'd

904
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: wear this all kind of different colors. Talk to a

905
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 1: certain outdoor camo company today about a partnership. So yeah,

906
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: I listen to your feedback and a lot of the

907
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: products you have asked for and longed for will be

908
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: in there. Big week coming up around here. I got

909
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: a bigger announcement than that before the show goes off

910
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: the air.

911
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 2: Actually huge week around here.

912
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's dive back in so reports today as we

913
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: sit here on Sunday whatever, this is the twenty fifth

914
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: of August. Reports Michigan receives NCAA notice of allegations. Well, well, well,

915
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: the NCAA can be sloppy about every other thing under

916
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: the sun, but they will not be sloppy about timing.

917
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: Because friends, this is also the week that the Connor

918
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: Stallion's Netflix documentary drops. They don't care about that, I

919
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: promise you. These are the most fragile, vein people on

920
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: the face of the earth. The NCAA very much cares.

921
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: They probably got a countdown clock in their facility to

922
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: the Connor Stallion's Netflix documentary. I don't care if that

923
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: thing has nothing in it or if it's loaded with bombshells.

924
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: These people very much care. So what's happening here, Well, nothing,

925
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: probably quickly because Michigan gets this thing and that standard

926
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: operating procedure.

927
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 2: If you've got an.

928
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: NCAA investigation into you, they wrap up the investigation. Then

929
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: they send you a notice of allegations. Basically, here's what

930
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 1: we think you're guilty of. You've got ninety days to respond.

931
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: Most of the time, that's just code for okay. Now

932
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: the lawyers can go to work. So the reports are

933
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: that pretty much what Pete Thammel and Dan Murphy put

934
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: out a couple of weeks ago is what is in

935
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: this thing, which is just brilliant because the word from

936
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: the NCAA and their statement today was for the sanctity

937
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: and respect for integrity of the investigation. We're not releasing

938
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: any details, mainly because we already leaked them a few

939
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Very convenient anyway, so the NCAA is not

940
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: accidental about this timing. I am in wait and see

941
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: mode on this. I've gotten some very fiery responses from

942
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: you guys because I told you, well me personally, based

943
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: on what I've heard so far, I've heard definite evidence

944
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: that Michigan had wrongdoing and they cheated. I've told you

945
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: that there's a certain threshold, you know, beyond which the

946
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: allegations have to go for me to view their title

947
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: as tainted. Thus far, it hasn't gone beyond that. Okay,

948
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: I had some really good emails sent to me, a

949
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: couple in particular, you know who you are. Of people

950
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: arguing the opposite, of people arguing that, well, it all

951
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: becomes relative. Once you allow for an ounce of it,

952
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: you you allow for an ocean of it, because once

953
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: you start down the slippery slope, there's no coming up.

954
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 2: And you're not wrong, you're not.

955
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: In fact, a lot of you made really really good

956
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: points that I thought candidly were better than mine. Having

957
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: said that, okay, let's say you've got your opinion on this,

958
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: I've got mine. My point has been I'm in wait

959
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: and see mode on this. I'm not team Michigan. I'm

960
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: not team anti Michigan. I'm looking at it. I saw

961
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: him win the title last year. It's my personal feel

962
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: that what I saw was pretty pretty legitimate and authentic.

963
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 1: You can disagree with that. That's fine, reasonable minds can disagree.

964
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: But I'm in wait and see mode because there is

965
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: a world where some stuff comes out of this that

966
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: you and I had never heard of before.

967
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: There is that world.

968
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: There's a world where the craziest, most fanatical rumors that

969
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: have ever seen the light of a message board actually

970
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: come true, there's another world where it's pretty procedural and

971
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: the NCAA just wants financial restitution. But there is a

972
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: there's a third thing that I'm looking at here, and

973
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking at that documentary coming out this week, a

974
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: couple of approaches. All right, let me get to the

975
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: documentary in a second. I wouldn't put it past the

976
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: NCAA to know the endgame here. And the endgame is

977
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: we don't bring the hammer down on anyone. Even if

978
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: we did, they'd crush us in court, because we stay

979
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: getting crushed in court.

980
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:26,959
Speaker 2: So we know this is going.

981
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: To end with them agreeing to a financial settlement with us,

982
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: and we're gonna find them, and Sharon Moore is going

983
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: to sit out a meaningless game and that'll be it,

984
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: and we'll be able to say, look, we got one

985
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: in Michigan to be able to say that's all.

986
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 2: So that's probably how they know this ends.

987
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: But if they know it ends that way and they

988
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: know Michigan chuckles walking out the door, what you can

989
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: do is you can punish them procedurally. And what that

990
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: means is if you know you're really not going to

991
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: get the maze blue scalp on the wall that you want.

992
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: You can just drag them through all kinds of mud

993
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: in the process. For example, you can leak reports ahead

994
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: of a documentary, or you can serve a notice of

995
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: allegations checks watch the week of their first game, to

996
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: distract as much as you could possibly try and distract,

997
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: so you know, you.

998
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 2: Don't really have them at the end of the day.

999
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: You can just make their life as miserable as you

1000
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 1: can in the aggregate. And maybe that's a little bit

1001
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: of Maybe that's the pound of flesh that you want

1002
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: to exact. Now, as for this documentary, a couple of

1003
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: you when this news came out today and I just

1004
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: all I tweeted out, I think was nothing about this

1005
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: timing is coincidental. A couple of you said, you ULCAA

1006
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: don't care anything about the Connor Stallion's documentary.

1007
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. They care about it.

1008
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: They care about it because they're probably a little more

1009
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: aware of some of the stuff that could be in

1010
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: it than the average Joe. Now, this documentary could be

1011
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: a clown show, could be an In fact, I expect

1012
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: elements of it to be a clown show. It's not

1013
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: going to be the most hard hitting piece of Netflix

1014
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 1: journalism that you've ever been slapped in the face with.

1015
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: So what I expect this week when I watched that

1016
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: thing is I expect to laugh a lot. I expect

1017
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: to say what in the world is this dude doing

1018
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: on camera?

1019
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 2: A lot?

1020
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: But I also expect to say, hold on, rewind that,

1021
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: hold on, he's got what they got? What? Now? That's

1022
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: the kind of documentary you're probably in for, not the

1023
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: most revealing piece of content that you've ever seen in

1024
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: your life.

1025
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: However, normally I would understand.

1026
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,720
Speaker 1: You, guys when you'd be saying, well, the nc DOUBLEA

1027
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: doesn't care what's in this documentary. Well, they care about

1028
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: what's in the documentary if they're in the documentary, and

1029
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: I think they may be in the documentary, is all

1030
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So Hoops amongst us knows what any of

1031
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: that means. But I don't think this timing is a coincidence.

1032
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: So another one of you asked me today, Hey, are

1033
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: they gonna drop the hammer on Michigan or what?

1034
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 2: No.

1035
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: No, dropping the hammer is very much a bygone metaphor

1036
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: for what the NCAA used to do punitively to programs.

1037
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: The conference is not going to allow that. The networks

1038
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: are not going to allow that. At this point, some

1039
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: of my Michigan viewers are saying, are you kidding me?

1040
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,479
Speaker 1: The conference didn't stand up for us at all during

1041
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: this investigation. Well, that's because you, as an asset really

1042
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: weren't hurt. Last time I checked. Michigan ran the table

1043
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: and won the national title. Last year, viewership was through

1044
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: the roof. You as an asset were not hurt last year.

1045
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: If they were to strip you of scholarships, if they

1046
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: were to try to impose a bowl ban on you

1047
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: and all that sort of thing in a postseason ban,

1048
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,959
Speaker 1: well that hurts you as an asset. All of a sudden,

1049
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: Michigan football, in my content portfolio is not worth what

1050
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: they used to be worth. That's not an option. NCAA

1051
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: doesn't run this sport networks do. And so if a

1052
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: network or conglomeration of them, in the Big ten's case,

1053
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: look and say, hold on, these folks in Indianapolis think

1054
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: they're about to do what that's not happening. Whatever backroom

1055
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: dealings and phone calls need to be made will be made,

1056
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: that's not going to.

1057
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 2: Be allowed to happen.

1058
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: So it is very very very likely that dropping the

1059
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: hammer in CAA style in twenty twenty four just means

1060
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna hit you financially. You know, the other member

1061
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: institutions are no friends of Michigan right.

1062
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 2: Now, Make no mistake about it.

1063
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: There are no friends of them. But they know that

1064
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 1: in a roundabout way, Michigan's worth is tied into their worth.

1065
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: So they're not going to allow them to be damaged

1066
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,959
Speaker 1: as an asset. What they would allow is they would

1067
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: allow them to be hit individually financially, which is probably

1068
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: the end game here. So my follow up as it

1069
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: relates to this season on the field is is the

1070
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: NCAA about to do the same thing again? Are they

1071
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: about to arm Michigan again? Because last year, that team

1072
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: and that program bottled that whole deal up about as

1073
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: well as anyone could in on us against the world moment,

1074
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: and they won versus the world? By the way, are

1075
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: they doing that again this year? Will it even matter?

1076
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: Does that stuff even matter? Do we make too much

1077
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: of that? They've played Fresno State this Saturday in the

1078
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: Big House. They play Texas two weeks from now. In

1079
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 1: the accounts, that'd be a pretty good game to do too.

1080
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: Imagine being there, They're watching us in Lawrence, Kansas, Ackworth, Georgia,

1081
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: Van Buren, Arkansas, and Trinidad, Colorado. Thank you guys so much.

1082
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: Question question for the room here. Got a lot of

1083
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: you watching live. Do me one favor. As you're watching live.

1084
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you have come back to

1085
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: college football. Welcome back.

1086
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 2: Happy to have you.

1087
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: Do me a favor and check and make sure you're

1088
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: subscribed to the channel and the podcast. Some of you

1089
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: think you are, but check anyway, because it's at this

1090
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: moment you realized, oh wait, I'm not subscribed.

1091
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 2: Do me a favor.

1092
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: It costs you nothing, it does nothing, there's no string attach.

1093
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: It's a favor to us. Subscribe to the channel or

1094
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: the podcast, and that's it. That's my request.

1095
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

1096
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: John hit me up from Glendale, Arizona. He said, could

1097
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 1: you rank the top quarterbacks this season?

1098
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? I could.

1099
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: I think Carson Beck's the best quarterback in the country

1100
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 1: to come into this season. Seventy two point four percent

1101
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: completion guy last year, two eighty one passing yards per game,

1102
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: twenty four to six touchdown to interception. Does all that

1103
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: carry over? Sometimes it doesn't, I think it will. He

1104
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: was in a top five scoring offense last year. I

1105
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: don't have any reason to believe that would drop off.

1106
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: He is an NIL gift. Carson Beck is not playing

1107
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: college football this year if it were twenty fourteen instead

1108
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four Nil has made it possible for

1109
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: a lot of these late first early second round type

1110
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: talents to come back instead of testing the waters. So

1111
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: it's not all the devil. He's got an elite offensive line,

1112
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,720
Speaker 1: good pass catchers here, tight end, even without brock Bowers,

1113
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: one of the best tight end rooms in the country.

1114
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 2: Again, I just think sometimes we need to pause and understand.

1115
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: We just said we watched a truly a generational tight

1116
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: end talent overused word, but not in brock Bower's case.

1117
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: We watch him go to the NFL and the room

1118
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: he vacated is still one of the top tight end

1119
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: rooms in the country. Wow, Dylan Gabriel, I struggled with

1120
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: where to place him here. He couldn't ask for more

1121
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: man from a surroundings standpoint, will Stein is one of

1122
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: the hottest rising offensive coordinators in the country. He will

1123
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: probably have the best one to two receiver combo to

1124
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: deal with. He's got an all conference tight end to

1125
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: throw the ball to. He was top ten last year

1126
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma in completion percentage, pass yards per game, pass touchdowns.

1127
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 2: The NFL guys.

1128
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: I talked to a number of NFL scouting types to

1129
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: get their read on college players. Dylan Gabriel does not

1130
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: project to some superstar at the NFL level. He is

1131
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: a star at the college football level, probably like lower

1132
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: tier arm strength, size, etc. It's not like he's Cam

1133
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: Newton two point zero or anything like that. But at

1134
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: the college level, the guy can win a national championship.

1135
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: I look so forward to seeing him, and they're only

1136
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: a couple of these tests coming per year, but like

1137
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: against Ohio State secondary of having to thread it and

1138
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: having a zip it in a window that's a lot

1139
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: tighter a due respecting the ones he had to fit

1140
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: it in in the Big twelve.

1141
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: Look forward to that. But he's up there.

1142
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: Cam Ward at Miami's up there now. The difference with

1143
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: cam Ward is last year he's fourth in pass yards

1144
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: per game. He's number one I think Jesse amongst quarterbacks

1145
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: who returned twenty five to seven touchdown to I ratio

1146
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: last year. That was up at Washington State. So he

1147
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: comes down to Miami, maybe he'll hit the ground running.

1148
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: My feel around Miami, and like cam Ward in the

1149
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: offense is I actually expect a little bit of clunkiness

1150
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: in the early part of the season, just sort of working.

1151
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 2: Kinks here and there out.

1152
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: I think eventually, maybe week one, maybe week five. He

1153
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: is right up here with the best quarterbacks in the country,

1154
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: and their offense is up there with one of the

1155
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: best offenses in the country. It'll be very balanced. They've

1156
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 1: got really good talent and versatility in their running back room.

1157
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: But also I mean again, Elijah Arroyo tight En waited

1158
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: for him last year. He got hurt in the preseason.

1159
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: He's not hurt now, and so I look for him

1160
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: to be one of the best weapons along with you know, Rostrepo,

1161
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: the brown kid they got from Houston. A lot of

1162
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: good players there. Jackson Dart, Where would you put Jackson Dark?

1163
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 1: Because I came to this part Jackson Dark, quinn Ewers,

1164
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: you know which one goes goes squere. Jackson Dart is

1165
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: the by far the best duel threat on this list.

1166
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: Twenty three to five touchdown to I int last year

1167
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: through the air, but he also ran for eight touchdowns

1168
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: and he's got just weapon after weapon out wide. He

1169
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: is the unquestioned leader I think of that offense they

1170
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: have got. I think in Ulysses Bentley an elite running

1171
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: back talent. So it's not on his shoulders. He's a

1172
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: guy who could take it on his shoulders, but the

1173
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: entire weight of the load is not on his shoulders.

1174
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: Quinn Ewers, I just mentioned him at Texas. This is

1175
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: the guy who has the biggest year on his hands,

1176
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: because I've seen it from some of these other guys,

1177
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: I've seen it.

1178
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 2: I have not seen quinn Ewers top end game. I

1179
00:56:59,280 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 2: don't think I have.

1180
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: If I have, then we've overrated him a little bit.

1181
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: He was top twelve last year in completion percentage in

1182
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: passing yards per game.

1183
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 2: Top twelve.

1184
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: Okay, that's great, but we're trying to talk top five

1185
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: or top six.

1186
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 2: Here is he?

1187
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: That is he that He's got the same system for

1188
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: a third year in a row, same program, same coordinators,

1189
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: so the consistency is around him.

1190
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 2: It's a familiar environment.

1191
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: They did as good a job as they possibly could,

1192
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: losing those pass catchers to go backfill, he's got it

1193
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: to do. He's workable schedule, he's got it to do.

1194
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: Still some work to be done to be a top

1195
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: five in the country though, and then there's just the

1196
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: other list of guys like Milroe could be in here.

1197
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 2: Shador, I mean Shador.

1198
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: You know I looked at this and if I put

1199
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: Shadoor Sanders on any of these teams, Shadoor Sanders.

1200
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 2: Is a lock to be a top five quarterback.

1201
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: So it wasn't strictly like a power rating system of quarterbacks.

1202
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: I did take that into account, but I also took

1203
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: your surroundings into account. And who knows, man, maybe should

1204
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 1: will be that regardless, but Brady Cook at Missouri, Drew

1205
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: Aller at Penn State, cam rising back for his nineteenth

1206
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: season at utah FA Fida out of Arizona, wouldn't be

1207
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: surprised at all to see him pop up there. Garrett Nusmeyer,

1208
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: I know, I said that maybe turnover has been a

1209
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: bit of an issue in fall camp. That's fall camp, man,

1210
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: you work that out. Maybe he just comes out and

1211
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: throws for four touchdowns against USC, And Garrett nuss Meyer

1212
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: is immediately in the conversation, all that could happen, All

1213
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: that could happen, big moment in the show here. So

1214
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: a couple of things I need to tell you the

1215
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: first thing I need to tell you, Colin, let me

1216
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: make sure I'm where I need to be.

1217
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 2: Yes, i am. So the first thing I need to

1218
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 2: tell you is.

1219
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm about to give you the first two picks on

1220
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: the ram Ma Noodle Express this year, which means I

1221
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: need to explain to a lot of you who are

1222
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: new around here what the ram Noodle Express is way

1223
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: back in the day.

1224
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 2: I'll explain more.

1225
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: About this on Tuesday, because on Tuesday Night I'm gonna

1226
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: do an entire explainer on all the inside jokes and

1227
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: nomenclature of the show. Everything that's on the show that

1228
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: makes no sense to you, I'll do it all at

1229
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: the end of Tuesday Night show. I'll just explain it

1230
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: all in the meantime. The Raminul Express, because of times

1231
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: that were more impoverished for me down in Columbus, Georgia,

1232
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: is the name of our segment for the games that

1233
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: we move on and we bet every week, and it

1234
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: could come at any time. It is imperative that you're

1235
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: following on social at late Kick Josh because during the

1236
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,959
Speaker 1: week normally I'll just tweet these out at random because

1237
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the lines over at FanDuel, and when

1238
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: they move where we want them, we move. It's not

1239
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: always when I'm live on air. In fact, most times

1240
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: it's not when I'm live on air. So at late Kick, Josh,

1241
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: make sure you're following. But since we're back to college football,

1242
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: and since it's Sunday night and we got the Week

1243
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: one lines pretty well hammered out to where they're gonna be,

1244
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: I figured we'd go ahead and move on a couple

1245
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: of these first pick of the year. Who do you

1246
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: think is going to be? There's a drum roll for you.

1247
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: Who you think is gonna be gonna be Bama? What's

1248
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,959
Speaker 1: gonna be USC? Is gonna be Kentucky? No, it's gonna

1249
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: be Kent State plus twenty four and a half against

1250
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: pitt in Week one. That line is available Boom, I'm

1251
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: looking at it right now at FanDuel Kent State plus

1252
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: twenty four and a half next up on the Ramannudle

1253
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Express powered by FanDuel. Everybody seems to be warning Colorado

1254
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: about this Week one game against North Dakota State. This

1255
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: is a time in history where you have to sort

1256
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: of kind of lay a little bit of a premium

1257
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: to bet Colorado actually I'm doing that.

1258
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 2: In Week one.

1259
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: I think Colorado is going to beat North Dakota State

1260
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: by double digits, So.

1261
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 2: I'm laying nine and a half with the buffs.

1262
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 1: That line has come down, and I think it probably

1263
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: is on its way back up. We're comfortable with the

1264
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: line where it is, so Colorado minus nine and a

1265
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: half Kent State plus twenty four and a half. Those

1266
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: are the early best bets on the Rama Noudle Express

1267
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 1: this week. Do not bet money you don't have on this.

1268
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: Don't be parlaying these. That's my advice. FanDuel would be

1269
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: happy to take your parlay action. My advice is these

1270
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: are not meant to be parlayed. Also, don't be don't

1271
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: be looking at these and thinking, well, Okay, I'm gonna

1272
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: pick out the ones that I agree with them on,

1273
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna bet the ones I don't agree on.

1274
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: My advice is bet them all or don't bet any

1275
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: of them. If you're gonna just cherry pick, you might

1276
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: as well bet the games that your gut tells you

1277
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: to bet. So that's always It seems to be a

1278
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: winning strategy. I know.

1279
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 2: I used to do it.

1280
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: I used to subscribe to the touch sheets when I

1281
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: was in high school and say, now.

1282
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 2: Wait a second.

1283
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: If I bet what that guy tells me to, but

1284
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: I only filter it through what I agree with, I'll

1285
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: bet I'll hit sixty percent, No problem, No you won't.

1286
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: You'll hit the exact percentage you always would have hit.

1287
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: So right now at FanDuel, and I want you to

1288
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: listen up. I want you to listen up. If you

01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: I have other chores to tend to Tonight, Colin, you

1322
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: got that Herbstreet question. Very rare that we do a

1323
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: segment like this. Mike kitted me up and said, Hey, lol,

1324
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: how awesome was it hearing NOL fans boo Herbie every

1325
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: time he spoke on game day? Not all that awesome,

1326
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I guess was the kind of secret that no one

1327
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you guys yesterday. It signed a kind

1328
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: of lame. I'm all for you doing it. That's fine

1329
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: with me. I've I've always loved the Will Muschamp quote.

1330
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: I'd much rather have to tell a horse whoa boy

1331
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 1: than have to constantly tell the horse giddy up. He

1332
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: was talking about football players. I feel the same way

1333
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: about fan bases. So if the worst thing a fan

1334
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: base does is act overly passionate and enraged because they

1335
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: perceive a wrongdoing, fine by me. I had it directed

1336
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: at me, not to the degree Herbstreet did. I mean,

1337
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: there are people who paint Herbstreet is like the face

1338
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: of the deep state of college football. Now shockingly he

1339
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: is not. But I know a lot of you believe that,

1340
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: and you couldn't be told otherwise. We experienced it though,

1341
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: remember because I did my little flip flop on Florida

1342
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: State last year, and I at one time said, no

1343
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: matter if Jordan Travis is hurt or if he's playing,

1344
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: if Florida State's undefeated, they belong in the playoff. But

1345
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: then at the end of the day I said, I

1346
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: thought Alabama should have gotten in. So that sounded hypocritical,

1347
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: that sounded like a flip flop. So then everyone came

1348
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,479
Speaker 1: after me as well, and let me let you guys

1349
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: do on a little something.

1350
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 2: I know a lot of you orchestrated.

1351
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: Going and downvoting the videos and the podcast that actually

1352
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: helped us, So I would appreciate you to continue doing that.

1353
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: My advice if you're trying to hurt us is probably

1354
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: find another way, just a little friendly piece of advice

1355
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: that actually helped us, that actually boosted us a lot.

1356
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 2: I don't know how, but it did.

1357
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: So there was really no reasoning, like it didn't matter

1358
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: at that point for me to explain myself. There was

1359
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: no reasoning. But the trade off for people being passionate

1360
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: is sometimes this stuff happens. So if Herbstreet gets booed

1361
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: on game day. He's an adult. He can take it.

1362
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: He can get on his private.

1363
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 2: Jet and fly home.

1364
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean, what a life to live, right, So I

1365
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: did see him fire a tweet off, probably somewhere over

1366
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: the Atlantic, and it was it was it takes a

1367
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: big man to tweet that.

1368
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 2: And he didn't.

1369
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: He didn't address it. He didn't address the booing. He

1370
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: just said, oh, tough loss for the Knowles. And I

1371
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: looked at it and I smiled, and I said, I

1372
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: know what he's doing.

1373
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 2: I know what he's doing.

1374
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about it. I used to traffic

1375
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: in this stuff, real talk. I grew up in Atlanta

1376
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: Braves fam, and I used to swear to you that

1377
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: ESPN was out to get the Braves. You could never

1378
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: tell me otherwise, and I would cherry pick where they

1379
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,479
Speaker 1: got placed there in the Sea block of Sports Center,

1380
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: whereas the men are in the B block, even though

1381
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: the Mets are fifteen games out of first place and

1382
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: the Braids are right and thick of it. I had

1383
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: no shortage of evidence, just like you guys have no

1384
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: shortage of evidence that there is a grand media conspiracy

1385
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: and was last year around FSU I got inside the

1386
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: media business. Here's what changed my opinion of it. Number One,

1387
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: I kind of saw behind the scenes and I realized, Yeah,

1388
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: most of that stuff's fake. And then the other thing is,

1389
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: I got accused of a lot of it. And I

1390
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: know me, if nothing else, I know me. I know

1391
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: how I feel about Florida State. I know you know

1392
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: how I feel about any given matter in this sport.

1393
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: And so like I get accused of, I get accused

1394
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: of Homerism all the time, being a hater, sometimes with

1395
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: the same teams. But I remember having a conversation with

1396
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: Jesse and management and I actually said, you know what's

1397
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: dawned on me. These people are accusing me of the

1398
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: same stuff I used to accuse like espn of and

1399
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: I know I'm not guilty of it. I laugh at

1400
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: most of it. So I'm sitting here knowing me. And

1401
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: then I started asking, wait a second, was I.

1402
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 2: Wrong about that stuff all those years?

1403
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: And then furthermore, are most of these grand media conspiracies

1404
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: just that grand media conspiracies?

1405
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 2: So let me go back just a.

1406
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Second to flip it back to Herbstreet. Yao, can boo

1407
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Herbstreet all you want to All he did was sit

1408
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: on TV and give you his opinion. McElroy did the

1409
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: same thing. You came after him. I did the same thing.

1410
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: You came after me. How many of you went after

1411
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: Bill Hancock. I'm not suggesting any of you go after anyone.

1412
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: By the way, let me state that very clearly for

1413
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: the record, mean tweets should be the extent of you

1414
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: going after anyone. Here's where I flip flopped for a

1415
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: little refresher course. You want to know why I sounded

1416
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: like a hypocrite. You want to know why I flip flopped.

1417
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: It's because for this entire process, I was of the

1418
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: opinion I was under the notion even that we were

1419
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: taking the most deserving teams in the playoffs.

1420
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 2: I just thought that was the language. I thought that

1421
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 2: was what they always had done.

1422
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Let me take you back to November twenty eighth, the

1423
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: week of Rival Week last year. Bill Hancock, on his

1424
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: way out the door, I believe the chair of the

1425
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: playoff committee said quote most deserving is not in our lexicon.

1426
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: We're taking the best teams. He didn't have to say that,

1427
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 1: he voluntarily said that. So then I listened and I thought, well,

1428
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,839
Speaker 1: if that's your criteria, that's totally different.

1429
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: If we're taking the best teams.

1430
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: I think Bama would be Florida State at the end

1431
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: of the day when I compare their resumes and I

1432
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: think they're the better team. We all of a sudden,

1433
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 1: I didn't change status quote. Herbstreet didn't change status quot.

1434
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:39,719
Speaker 1: McCorry didn't change status quot.

1435
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 2: They looked at.

1436
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: The guy with the playoff sticker on his lapel and

1437
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: listen to what he said. At least this is what

1438
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: I did. And I said, whoa, that's a game changer.

1439
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: We did two segments on it on the show. I said,

1440
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: Bill Hancock said what now At the eleventh hour, he

1441
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: said what. So I got to the end of the

1442
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: finish I got the finish line and I said, I

1443
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: think a couple of things. I think they got the

1444
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: right four teams based on their stated criteria, and I

1445
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 1: think they screwed Florida State, which was perceived by some

1446
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: to be fence riding.

1447
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 2: No it wasn't.

1448
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, based on my understanding of the thing

1449
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: from the whole time, that Florida State should have gotten in.

1450
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 1: They changed the language at the eleventh hour, and all

1451
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they say, it's not about deserving which

1452
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I thought it had always been about no, so they

1453
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: changed the score. So based on that, yeah, I thought

1454
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 1: Bama should have been in, but that was like five

1455
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: minutes old because I had never heard anyone talk like

1456
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: that before. So yeah, congrats, you bowed Herbstreet and then

1457
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: you got beat as a double digit favorite. So he

1458
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 1: still looks the same today, you don't. I'm not sure

1459
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: who we declare the winner there?

1460
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 2: How about this?

1461
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: You have just watched the last episode ever of Late

1462
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: Kick Live. Do you realize that? No, you don't, because

1463
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,919
Speaker 1: I have not told you this. We're not going anywhere.

1464
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: We'll be fine. We'll be here Tuesday night, same as always.

1465
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of tired of the name Lake Kick.

1466
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: And honestly, for those of you who forget the title

1467
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: of the show, you probably go on Google and search

1468
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Josh Pat's College Football Show anyway, So we're just gonna

1469
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: change the name of the show to Josh Pat's College

1470
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: Football Show. You should also know that I wrapped up

1471
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: negotiation with CBS last week and we've entered into a

1472
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: new deal with them. That deal has seen us take

1473
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: complete ownership of this channel, take complete ownership of our

1474
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: podcast feed. That's ours now that's ours.

1475
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 2: We own it. We're changing the name of it to what.

1476
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,680
Speaker 1: It is, which is Josh Pay's College Football Show. I

1477
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: know that just indicates my name. It's ours, we own it.

1478
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: I just had for seo purposes to put my name

1479
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: in there. So here's what's up Tuesday night. We're predicting

Speaker 1: Thursday Night. I hate to tell you this this far

1482
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: ahead of time, but yet col Kutz will be back

1483
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. I'm going to bring Cubliccka in, but

1484
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: instead of just pandering and asking him questions, we're just

1485
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: going straight to the live chat. It'll be like the

1486
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: last part of the Thursday show. I've got a probably

1487
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: a couple of more announcements to give you this week.

1488
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,679
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot changing around here. But yet

1489
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: the thing that's going to remain the same is the show.

1490
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: We're going to remain the exact same there. So I
