1
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: You know, if you think about it, you listen to

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: me say this. We've got a certain high profile program

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: with more off the field issues. We've got a brand

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: new college football video game about to drop that we

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: got our hands on early. We've got playoff conspiracy theories

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: being thrown around. It sounds like a show from about

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. Really, if you think about it, it

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: feels like a time warp of a show tonight, but

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: it is not. We're jam packed, we're high top an

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: ampt downtown Nashville, Tennessee. And this piece of paper in

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: front of me says Thursday, July eleventh, the Year of

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Our Lord, twenty twenty four. It's just that kind of

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: show tonight, Georgia embarrassed again, more issues off the field.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: You don't even have to have checked the news today

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: to probably be able to guess what kind of bad

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: headlines those are. So I'll talk about it. I'll talk

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: about certain conspiracies that are being floated about the college

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: football ether when it comes to the college football playoff.

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, conspiracy, it's already being thrown around. And it's July.

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: It's not even August. We haven't even broken fall camp yet.

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: I it hurt me, by the way, hurt me here.

22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I've had to keep it a secret from you guys

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: that we have had a copy of EA Sports CFB

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: twenty five. We got it well ahead of time. It's

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: why we flew down to Florida last week to do

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: some work with EA. But we unveiled a lot today

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: which goes to show you when I tell you better

28
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: be following on social at Late Kick Josh, you really

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: ought to be following at Late Kick Josh. I've got

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: some stuff about the SEC tonight on this show. How

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: many Tier one teams are there really in that conference?

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: In the ACC. I've got a follow up question for you.

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: How many teams are playoff contenders in that conference? Not

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: title you don't have to win it all, but make

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: the twelve team field. How many any of you can

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: do that? I got all that, I got some thoughts

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: on what you think Dion said versus what he actually said. So, yes,

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: we are jam packed no season inside around here. They're

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: watching us in Indian Past, Florida, Cheyenne, Wyoming, Westwood, California,

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Long Beach, New York, Long Beach, California, Long Beach, Mississippi.

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: We appreciate all of you. Guys. Hey, two bits of

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: news here. One is great, one's terrible. Our guy friend

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: of the program, Joe tessitur the new lead play by

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: play voice for WWE SmackDown and not even giving up

45
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: as college football job. So we got Joe tess doing,

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: in my humble opinion, the best play by play job

47
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: in the sport these days. But he's also going to

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: be calling wrestling on Friday nights, which we can call

49
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: it again. By the way, we can call it wrestling again.

50
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: That's great. And to shift gears entirely. Manti Kiffin passed

51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: away earlier today in Oxford, Mississippi, So prayers sent out

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: to the Kiffin family first off, and secondly, if you're

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: in high school, if you're in college, you know the

54
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: name Kiffin largely because of Lane. You may not know

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: so much about Monte Kiffin. After the show tonight, you

56
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: ought to do yourself a favor. Set aside twenty or

57
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: thirty minutes, just go read up on Monte Kiffin. What

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: an impact that guy had on the sport. You just

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: got thousands and thousands of former players that he's touched,

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: the lives of that I saw reaching out expressing condolences

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: but also sharing a story or two. I mean, we

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: ran that guy's defense in eight on eight football. That's

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: how great the Tampa two defense was. We loved it

64
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: and we didn't even have eleven guys on the field.

65
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: So rest in peace to Money kiff in, a big

66
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: time legend in the sport of not only college football,

67
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: but the NFL as well. All right, let's dive into

68
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: the show tonight. Uh yes, we have to start in

69
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: a not so glowing way. Uh well, well, you know what.

70
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: We'll just see where the segment takes us. George has

71
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: got more off field issues, namely, more guys have been

72
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: arrested for driving in ways other than ways that they're

73
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: supposed to. London Smile Mundon, I always struggled with the

74
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: pronunciation of his name. Smile. London and bo Huglely were

75
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: arrested on misdemeanor separate incident driving charges earlier this week,

76
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: misdemeanor reckless driving and racing for Smile Mundon. Here's what's

77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: wild about this Number one, it's been a chronic issue

78
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: with the program there. Number two. We have had people

79
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: lose their lives there because of this. Number three I'm

80
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: not sure this is public, but I'll tell you they

81
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: literally had someone come in there Tuesday to speak to

82
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: the team about this and not twenty four hours later.

83
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: You've got not stupid people, but you got smart people

84
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: doing stupid things. So we've talked about this before with Georgia,

85
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: because it's happened before with Georgia. It is mind boggling though,

86
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: how it keeps happening with the same program in the

87
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: same way. So a couple of things here. It happened

88
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: on apparently Broad Street in Athens, Georgia. It wasn't well

89
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: out of town, it was right there in town. And

90
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: smell Mundon racing at t according to the AJAC. These

91
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: details courtesy of the AJAC. De Melo Jones was involved

92
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: there as well. Here's what's bizarre, everybody, when they read

93
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: these headlines, the first thing they say is there's a

94
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: culture problem at Georgia. They got a big culture problem

95
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: at Georgia. Well, they got a big problem at Georgia.

96
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: They've had a big problem at Georgia on this front,

97
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: and apparently it's not cleaned up yet. But I've always

98
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: stopped short of calling it a culture problem because, in

99
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: my opinion, if it's a culture problem there, we'd see

100
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: it elsewhere. When I watched Titanic for the first time,

101
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: I remember when it strikes the iceberg and the you know,

102
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: you get the sergeant in arms, and you get the

103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: lead engineer, you get the captain. They're all in this

104
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: room and he's rolling out the schematic of the ship

105
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: and he's explaining how a breach here will force that

106
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: water to spill over the bulkheads, compartment by compartment until

107
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: the ship sinks. That's kind of how poor culture is

108
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: in organizations. It's not just isolated. If you've got piss

109
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: poor culture, normally it infe's the entire operation at Georgia.

110
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: The culture's been rock solid organizationally, it's a model program,

111
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: except they suck at this one thing, and it boggles

112
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: my mind. It's boggled my mind for a long time.

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: So you're looking at Kirby smart here, you're looking at

114
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: b roll of him at least Georgia head coach. If

115
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: you're watching on YouTube. Kirby's got to do something, man,

116
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: That's what everyone yelled today. Kirby's got to do something. Hey,

117
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: they've been doing something. I guess you could kick him

118
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: off the team, Like I guess you could do that,

119
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 1: you could kick the players off the team. But short

120
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: of that, I'll be real with you, and I've spoken

121
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: to enough people around Georgia and I've heard him speak

122
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: about it, and I've talked to him about it enough

123
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: to know they feel like they've done everything they can. Honestly,

124
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: that's the most disheartening part. I guarantee you that's the

125
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: most disheartening part for him. Is there's public accountability, and

126
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: there's the stuff you hear him say publicly, and then

127
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: there's the real stuff that happens behind the scenes, which

128
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: is punishing people to the degree that would end most

129
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: of you in terms of just physical exhaustion, also forcing

130
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: you and mandating you to go through this program and

131
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: this seminar and this and that, and you figure to yourself,

132
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: all right, I about killed this kid physically. I have

133
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: taken large portions of his free time and put him

134
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: through this mentally, He's already had to bear the burden

135
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: of shame and scorn by the way. He has lost

136
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: a teammate, and he has lost people and watched people's

137
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: lives get forever changed. Inside the program he's a part

138
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: of as a part of participating in this foolishness. If

139
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: he still does it, then what more can I do?

140
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: I can kick him off the team, I can do that,

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: But what more can I do? That's the disheartening part.

142
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: It happens at other schools, Josh. I had some Georgia

143
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: fans tell me that today it happens at other schools.

144
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Yet does only one of them's known for it? Though

145
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: only George is known for it. You can float me

146
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: all the conspiracies you want to about Athens Clark County PD. Frankly,

147
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: i'd agree with you on some of them. You can

148
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: float me all the AJC's out to get us headlines

149
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 1: you want to. You can do all that, and case

150
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: by case, I'd listen to you. But at the end

151
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: of the day, they're not arresting folks for racing up

152
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: there who aren't racing, so I don't care. If they're

153
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: watching for you around every corner, they may very well be.

154
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: They're not popping you if you're not actually doing that thing.

155
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: So it's still happening there in and of themselves, these

156
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: are misdemeanor charges. I got pretty good detail on what

157
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: happened here in and of themselves. If you stood on

158
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: the street corner and watched what happened here, you would say, well,

159
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: that was pretty dumb. That would be the extent of

160
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: your reaction. But it's not any other situation. It is

161
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: a Georgia football player, or multiple football players in this case,

162
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: that are once again caught up in something we've seen

163
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: happen nineteen times since the tragedy that happened eighteen months ago.

164
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: That thing happened in January, where you see Evan will

165
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: look and you see Chandler Lacroix lose their lives. They've

166
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: had nineteen, according to the AJAC, nineteen separate traffic related

167
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: incidents since then. It's a problem. It's a problem, but

168
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: I don't view it as a massive cultural problem. I

169
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: really don't know what to make of it. I don't

170
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: know what they'll do about this. I'm sure Kirby Smart

171
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: will speak publicly. We're going to have him at SEC

172
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: media Days next week anyway. But I'll tell you this,

173
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: for all the Kirby's got to do something. The best

174
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: teams out there are player led. How about the locker

175
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: room do something that Dude's done everything he knows to do.

176
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to help him escape culpability. It's ultimately

177
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: a Kirby Smart's feat, it's his program, but really a

178
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: player's program as well. So outside of whatever punishment Kirby

179
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: Smart's going to dole out here, Hey, what are you

180
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: guys doing? What are you guys going to do in

181
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: the locker room about that? Hopefully you have an answer,

182
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: And it's none of my business to hear about it.

183
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: It's none of the public Blick's business to hear about it.

184
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: But you know, if George is operating the way it's

185
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: supposed to, Kirby Smart won't have to be the one

186
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: ultimately that handles this players in the locker room well,

187
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: and if they don't, maybe George is not the kind

188
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: of team we think they are. Moving on. Oh look, oh,

189
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: we got the R word written on the piece of

190
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: paper in front of me. Rigged. We've got this word

191
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: written in front of me, and you'll never believe what

192
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: it's about. Welcome in. If you're new to the show,

193
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: Thank you for watching and listening. We've got tens of

194
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: thousands of you that have just joined up this month,

195
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: So subscribe if you haven't already, and if you think

196
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: you're subscribed, do me a favor and check because we

197
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: would love to keep the show free, and the way

198
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: we do that is by you subscribing no strings attached. Okay,

199
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: So I've got in my hand a piece of paper

200
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: and it says College Football Playoff rigged. These are questions

201
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: that you were giving me a lot of. You hit

202
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: me like this yesterday, and I didn't know what you

203
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: were talking about it first, but then I found out.

204
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: So Big twelve Media Days was happening out in Las Vegas,

205
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: and they had the College Football Playoff Executive Director Rich

206
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: Clark out there. And sometimes they do this, they'll bring officials,

207
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: heads of officiating, they'll bring College Football Playoff people, and

208
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: they'll have their own little press conference and you get

209
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: to ask him questions. So Rich Clark is up there,

210
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: he's the CFP executive director, and he's taken questions about

211
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: the expanded playoff because we're gonna have twelve teams and

212
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: what does that mean, friends, That means we're gonna have well,

213
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: eight more than we normally have. We're gonna have first

214
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: round byes, but also we're gonna have first round games

215
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: on campus. We've never had that before. We've never had

216
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: a team in college have a home playoff game. We're

217
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna have four of those this year. So Rich Clark

218
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: gets asked a question by I think Barry Trammel, and

219
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: the question was basically, hey, what does a campus need

220
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: to have in order to be ready to host a

221
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: college football playoff game? Very fair question by Barry, and

222
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: I thought Rich Clark gave, in my opinion, a pretty

223
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: reasonable response. I'm gonna let you listen to the response,

224
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: but I don't think that it was received the way

225
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: that rich Clark and company thought it was going to

226
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: be received.

227
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: There's a lot of factors that are going to go

228
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: into this. Weather is going to be a factor that

229
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: they're going to have to consider because this game is

230
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: going to be later in the in the year, in

231
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 2: the winter than they normally were. Hotels are a factor.

232
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: Do they have the level of hotel that would be

233
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: expected for a playoff game? And do they have the

234
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: availability when we need it right practice space? Those are

235
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: the kinds of things that people need to keep in mind.

236
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: But also I mean everything from ticket sales to managing

237
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: how we distribute the tickets, all those kinds of things

238
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: have to come into play.

239
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: We got about seven billion people on this planet. Among

240
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: the last of them to ever be accused of care

241
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: eaing water for the college football playoff is me because

242
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: I wish it didn't even exist. I want to state

243
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: that as a preface so that you'll understand when I

244
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: tell you I listened to that and got nothing from it.

245
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: I really mean I listened to that and just thought

246
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: the guy gave a pretty reasoned answer. Most of you didn't.

247
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: By the dozens and dozens and dozens, perhaps probably into

248
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: a couple of hundred of you hit me up and

249
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: said this thing is rigged. I didn't even know what

250
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about. So then I looked at what he said,

251
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: and then I said, hold up, is this a thing?

252
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: Are people latching onto this? Yes? Yes, by the thousands

253
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: and thousands, it turns out publicly, a lot of you

254
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: took that to mean they're already chumming the water. They're

255
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: already baiting the trap so that they can screw me

256
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: out of a home playoff game and give it to them.

257
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Who is them? I don't even know yet, but a

258
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: lot of you took that to me, and they are

259
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: going ahead and they're putting weather or inability to sell

260
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: tickets proper or inability to host multiple teams practicing or

261
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: having adequate hotel space as a reason down the road

262
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: to yank a home playoff game off of your plate

263
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: and put it onto the plate of maybe an SEC

264
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: team or a Big ten team. And you know what

265
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: I decided to do today. I decided to go along

266
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: with it. I listened to that and I just thought

267
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: the guy gave an answer about logistics. It didn't occur

268
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: to you. I don't think that he said, this is

269
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: just what it takes to host a home playoff game.

270
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: It's not that he said, this is what you're going

271
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: to have to have, and if you don't have it,

272
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: we're yanking it from you. In fact, in an extended quote,

273
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: he went on to say, no, we've got a committee

274
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: that will actually be on the ground helping these teams

275
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: the moment they find out they have a home playoff game.

276
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: But you know what, that's not fun. That's not fun,

277
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: and it's too corporate of me to defend these people.

278
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: So you know what, let's do it. Maybe there's something

279
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: to this. We're out of tenfoil. But if I had

280
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: it here tonight, I'd put on my hat and I

281
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: would believe right along with you guys that the fix

282
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: is in. And if the fix is in, why are

283
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: you surprised? For non college football fans, this may sound

284
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: insane cause non college football fans would listen to Rich

285
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: Clark there and then say, well, you've got to be

286
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: able to sell tickets. Of course you do. Well, you've

287
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: got to have proper practice space and hotel accommodations will

288
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: of course you do, Like who would think otherwise? You

289
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to these people like that. You

290
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: are applying logic to an illogical situation. Logic is absent

291
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: totally in college football decision making to begin with, So

292
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: take your logic elsewhere. This is the world of the illogical,

293
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: and then the world of the illogical. There are conspiracies

294
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: in July that the yet to be seen playoff structure

295
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: and selection process is going to screw a team out

296
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: there that you happen to pull for. You know what,

297
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: I sat here and I didn't have a drum, So

298
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: I banged on this desk and I said, this thing's

299
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: not going to be what you think it's going to be.

300
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: A lot of you want a college foot playoff expansion,

301
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: I didn't. You got your way, and I told you,

302
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: there's no world where you get the playoff you want.

303
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: A lot of you wanted expansion because you wanted an

304
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: honest to god better shot at inclusion. You thought that

305
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: if you tried hard and you earned your way in,

306
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: the old model would have boxed you out. But the

307
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: new model was going to have a seat at the

308
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: table for you. It's not not to the degree that

309
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: you think. It is, the same folks who were screwing

310
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: you out of being in the four team playoff field

311
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: built the twelve team playoff field. So why are you

312
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: shot and surprised and shaken to the core. Apparently, according

313
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: to some of you, that they may jilt you out

314
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: of a first round playoff game. Hey, hey, in this case,

315
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: be glad you're in the playoff. Firstly. Secondly, some people

316
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: out there, bless your hearts. You still believe this thing's

317
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: about inclusion and access, and it's not. It's about inclusion.

318
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: It's about including more of the same. That's all it's about.

319
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: That's all it was ever going to be about. We

320
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: hit it a scenario the other day. Someone said, what

321
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: if we have two undefeated G five teams in the

322
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: playoff this year? I said, good luck picking which one's

323
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna make it. Both of them aren't making it. And

324
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: I said, Josh, there are twelve teams in the field now,

325
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: certainly if we have two undefeated G five's, I said,

326
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: sh you're applying logic. There is not room for that here.

327
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: That's not what this thing was built for. This thing

328
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: was built to house more of the big boys. Now,

329
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: you know me, I don't really even care about that

330
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: because my world doesn't revolve around the playoff. But a

331
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: lot of you enjoy the playoff more than you enjoy

332
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: the regular season. And for you guys, I think you'll

333
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: be disappointed ultimately in this product now in the room.

334
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: But to those of you who want to host a

335
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: playoff game, I would say, listen to rich Clark and

336
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: prepare for it. If you're a smaller community, if you're

337
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: a smaller program, and you look around and you say, wow,

338
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: based on what he said, if we had a home

339
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: playoff game next week, we wouldn't be ready. Well, you

340
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: don't have one next week. You may not have one

341
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: this year. You may have one next year, you may

342
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: have one three years from now. Develop the ability, have

343
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: a plan in place and be ready for it. Prepare

344
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: for it. That's the best advice I can give you.

345
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, you mean this may be a factor.

346
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: If it's fifty to fifty ticket sales, weather, that may

347
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: be a factor. Yeah, yeah, it may be a factor.

348
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: Anyone shocked by this? I am shocked at because these

349
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: are the folks who have always run this thing. Why

350
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: would you expect any different now. As poorly as you

351
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: think the playoff may be run, Academy Sports and Outdoors

352
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: far cry from that. We're gonna be at SEC media

353
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: days next week. Academy will be right there. Like seriously,

354
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: our folks from Academy will be at media days. And

355
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: I know they are just cripplingly terrified of being on camera,

356
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: so I probably can't pull them on camera. But they'll

357
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: be there offering en moral support nonetheless, and they're offering

358
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: you a lot more than moral support. They're just offering

359
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: you the tents, grills, chairs, bats, balls, goals, etc. That

360
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: you need, you know, the tangible assets that you need

361
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: to live a good, hearty outdoor life. They've got it

362
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: to Academy Sports and Outdoors. They've got your hookup, They've

363
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: got our back. They are one of the reasons we

364
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: can bring this show free of charge to you. We

365
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: get to talk college football all year and we get

366
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: to do it because Academy is there for us. And

367
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: if you can't get there in person, that's okay. They

368
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: thought of that. There's this thing called the Internet and

369
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: they're on it. Www dot academy dot com. Make them

370
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: a stop. It doesn't matter if you shop them first,

371
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: you shop them last. Make sure you shop Academy, and

372
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: I think you will be glad you did. We've got many, many,

373
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 1: many more directions to go tonight. I have promised director

374
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: Colin and producer Jesse no hour and twenty minute show tonight.

375
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: We're on a good pay so far. I mean we

376
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: went eighty minutes Sunday Night eight. Average audience retention was

377
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: incredible and our numbers are incredible in general. So thank

378
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: you guys. I know you're recruiting people. I can tell

379
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: you guys have taken it personal when I said bring

380
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 1: five of your friends. I can see our numbers and

381
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: I know good and will that's not me, so I

382
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Keep doing what you're doing, and when I

383
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: decide which gas station we're rolling with in gas station

384
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: recruiting wars, I will pay you back in free gas

385
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: because I don't want the irs just watching us exchange money.

386
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: But I can give it to you in the form

387
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: of tanks of gas. We will be giving out copious

388
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: amounts of gasoline on this show, not in literal form,

389
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: but in the form of gas cards this year. So

390
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: just hang type. Okay, biggest toy ifs in college football

391
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: this year, got one for you. If Michigan makes it

392
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: for in a row against Ohio State, what happens? What

393
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: is the fallout? So there goes the Richter scale off

394
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: the charts. But then what's the aftermath? Well, number one,

395
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: it would be a disaster in Ohio State. It will

396
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: be a disaster. There's this weird thing in college football

397
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: that's both beautiful and terrifying, and that is the impact

398
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: and the weight of rivalry games. And it's on no

399
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: bigger display than in this game right here. This game

400
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: is its own season. Michigan, Ohio State, Ohio State, Michigan

401
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: the game. It's its own season. And I love that

402
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: and I hate that that could be eroded somewhat with

403
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: the new postseason structure and the new conference championship structure.

404
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: But that's down the road. As for the game, I

405
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: love that, but it's a nightmare if you lose it,

406
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: because you could otherwise have had a really good year.

407
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: They could Ohio State could go eleven to zero that

408
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: game and they lose it. They may still be in

409
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: the conference title game if they lose it. They're absolutely

410
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: going to be in the playoff even if they lose it.

411
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: But yet there's this hole in the spot where your

412
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: heart and soul is supposed to be in your chest,

413
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: and that game means so much I'm not even sure

414
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: that winning the rest of your games fills it. An

415
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: interesting case study, by the way, two years ago this

416
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: could have happened. You know, they lose to Michigan, they

417
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: make the playoff. They're a field goal away from beating Georgia,

418
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: which would have punched their ticket to the national title

419
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: game to play TCU. They probably beat TCU, they would

420
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: have won the whole thing, but they would have known

421
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: they weren't able to go through Michigan to do it.

422
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: It's just a weird dynamic. It's beautiful, but it's also

423
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: really really violent when you end up losing that thing.

424
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: If they lose four in a row for Ohio State,

425
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: it would be a pretty unprecedented conversation happening around Ryan Day,

426
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: and there would be here's this word again. There would

427
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: be logic, and then there would be applying it to

428
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: an illogical situation. And if Ohio State loses to Michigan,

429
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: I don't care what they did elsewhere in the season,

430
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: it will be an illogical conversation for Ryan Day from

431
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: that point out. As for Sharon Moore, if they come

432
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: in in a year where they should lose to Ohio State,

433
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: now ear muff yourself. If you're in an arbor outside

434
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: of Michigan, pretty much everyone would be in agreement that

435
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: if you look on paper, fan duel included. If you

436
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: look on paper, this should be Ohio States year. Buckey's

437
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: got to get it this year. Yeah, but here's the thing.

438
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: It's looked that way on paper the last few years,

439
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: and they haven't. So paper, there's a reason they've never

440
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: played that game on paper. If they got it done

441
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: this year, alex Orgy knew at quarterback, whole staff's knew

442
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: lost a ton from last year. If that defense really

443
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: does come through and gives that offense time to jail,

444
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: and they go into Columbus in late November and they

445
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: win that thing, who are the legend of Sharon Moore

446
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: talk about writing a storybook beginning to a career. So

447
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: that's the first thing I'm what iffing. Another thing, I'm

448
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: what iffing. What if the ACC and the Big Twelve

449
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: only have one playoff team each from their conferences, so

450
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: they're conference champions and then that's it, that's all. How

451
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: would you feel about that? It probably means, well, it

452
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: obviously means that no truly elite Tier one really formed

453
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: in either of those conferences. I think it also means

454
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff Committee probably ended up heavily valuing

455
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: strength of schedule, strength of record, and they tilted the

456
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: table in favor of SEC Big ten teams. You probably

457
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: saw teams with the worst record in those conferences get

458
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: in over ACC teams with a better record, or certainly

459
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 1: Big twelve teams with a better record. That probably happened.

460
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: Notre Dame probably made it in. I would think G five,

461
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: maybe two G five teams made it in for all

462
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: I know, the Big Ten in the SEC got a

463
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: ton of teams in. And then think of the individual stories.

464
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: If this were to go down this way, did Clemson

465
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: make it in? Are they the ACC's participant, And if

466
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: they're in and Florida State's out, how did that happen?

467
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: And if they're in in Miami's out, how did that happen?

468
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: Or maybe Miami's the one that's in and FSU and

469
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Clumbson both got left out of a twelve team playoff,

470
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: or maybe Florida State's in the thing, and maybe Clemson

471
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: just put up an eight win season, and maybe Miami

472
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: couldn't take all that talent acquisition and translate it to

473
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: on field success no matter which combination there, if you've

474
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: only got one team in, then you got big problems elsewhere.

475
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: And that's not even to mention the possibility that a

476
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech could emerge or an NC State could emerge.

477
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: And all the big three there, Florida State, Clememson, Miami,

478
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: they're all three left out the Big twelve. It's a

479
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: little easier to see. I think most of you would

480
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: guess one Big twelve team will make it in, But

481
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: in the acc that'd be a bitter pill to swallow. Third,

482
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: what if here, let's go to Kansas for a second. Uh,

483
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: By the way, they hit me up yesterday and invited

484
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: me back up there. When we did the Pate State

485
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Speaker series. We drove right through Lawrence to go to

486
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: Manhattan to interview Chris Cleman, and we loved our visit there.

487
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: I didn't hear from anyone at Kansas. Well, we have

488
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: heard from Kansas, so we may have to get up

489
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: there in the not too distant future calls. They're doing

490
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: big time renovations. Anyway, As for this year, what if

491
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: Aalen Daniels is healthy at quarterback and he puts up

492
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: big numbers at Kansas. This has been a big question

493
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: for them, And I was listening to Lance Leipold, head

494
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: coach there. He was talking at Big Twelve media days

495
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: and talking about how much better a team they are

496
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: with him than without him. Now, Leipold said, I love

497
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: our quarterback depth, I love our quarterback room. Well I don't.

498
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't. He knows this team better than I do.

499
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't love their quarterback room. I love him. I

500
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: love that number one they have and if he's healthy,

501
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: total game changer in the Big Twelve because if he's healthy,

502
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: they return the top three wide receivers. Devin Niel's back

503
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: at running back, one of the best returning running backs

504
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: in the conference. They're a potential college football playoff team

505
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: if they've got a healthy Jalen Daniels. They also when

506
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: you look at their schedule and you look at the

507
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: fan duel odds to win the Big Twelve, this is

508
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: one of the stats I like to follow personally. They

509
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: play seven of the bottom eight teams in the fan

510
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: duel odds to win the Big Twelve. Those aren't the

511
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: end all be all, and those certainly don't pan out

512
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: on paper in that exact order, but for broad strokes purposes,

513
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: if you're talking about workable schedules versus tougher schedules, Kansas

514
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: with that quarterback and that returning talent and that offense

515
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: with that schedule, total game changer. So those are some

516
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: of the what IFFs I've got my eye on in

517
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: the sport this fall. You know, I've been getting some

518
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: really good content from the responses and replies to that

519
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: video because we have Colin cut that and we put

520
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: it on YouTube individually, and you guys have been giving

521
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: me what IFFs by the hundreds and the replies. I'm

522
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: not gonna say I've stolen any yet, I may have

523
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: taken them. Some of my ideas may have been inspired

524
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: by your ideas. Nothing unethical about that. They're watching us

525
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: in Robbins, Tennessee, Fairburn, Georgia, and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

526
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Make sure you're subscribed and no

527
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: matter where you're at, dropped a Late Kick Extra pod

528
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: on you yesterday. If you're listening on Thursday, we dropped

529
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: it on Wednesday a little bit later. Had a lot

530
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: going on, so busy around here for it to be

531
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: you live and you'll see why a little ways down

532
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: the road. But make sure you check that one out too.

533
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: Always love the mailbag, Always love the Late Kick Extra pod.

534
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: That's not on YouTube. You can only get that in

535
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: the podcast. Dion Sanders was a Big twelve Media Days

536
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: yesterday and Rob hit me up and asked a question

537
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: a lot of you had asked. He said, what do

538
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: you make of Dion Sanders? Saying his wins are different

539
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: than everyone else's. Shouldn't he get more wins before making excuses? Rob,

540
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: you almost got me on this. A lot of you

541
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: almost got me on this because I'll be honest, I

542
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: was not watching Big twelve Media Days live. So this

543
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: is this is a notorious event for out of context screenshots,

544
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: sound bites, et cetera. And if you're not careful, you'll

545
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: fall victim. And I almost got got on Dion Sanders

546
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: at Big twelve media days yesterday because this did get said.

547
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Dion did say that my wins are different than yours.

548
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: I get treated differently than you do. And I I

549
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: looked at it and I said, wow, well that's kind

550
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: of that's kind of ooh, I don't know if I

551
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: like that quote. Well, then I did something that we

552
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: try and practice a lot around here. I went and

553
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 1: I found the entire quote. And you're not gonna believe this,

554
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: but the entire quote sounds a little different than that

555
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: individual quote out of context, rollick Colin.

556
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm judged on a different scale. My wins are

557
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: totally different than your wins. Your wins you just judging football.

558
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: That's why I have to start out and give you

559
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: education and academics and so forth. I have to give

560
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 3: you those things so you understand there's a greater scope.

561
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: I can't win nine games, and we our GPA suffers,

562
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: our GPA can't be high, but we lose another eight games.

563
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: We can't not go and grab high school players. And

564
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: you got a bunch of guys in the portal, out

565
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: of the portal that's getting concerated. My win's a different

566
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: You have to win in every area. That's the way

567
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: we're judged, and I'm cool with that because we come

568
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: a little different. So the expectation is greater. But it's

569
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: not just football. It's been like that all my life.

570
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: I've always had a greater expectation for myself. So the

571
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: expectation you have for me would never outweigh the expectation

572
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: I have for myself.

573
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: They almost got me. But when I listened to that,

574
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: I realized why people took the quote out of context.

575
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: Because if you play that whole clip number one, you'll

576
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: lose like eighty percent of the crowd, because no one

577
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: listens past twenty seconds. Number two. The ones who are

578
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: around till the very end will say, well, there's no

579
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: headline here, like uh, I would hope my coach thinks

580
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: like this. You know what I took it to say.

581
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: I took it to say, this job's way more complex

582
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: than just the red light green light scale to judge

583
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: success that most people have. Most people you are what

584
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: your records as you are. You're a success. If you're

585
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: winning enough games, you're a failure if you're losing more

586
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: games than you should and at the end of the day,

587
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: that's fair, and I understand it, and Deon Sanders understands it,

588
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: and Gus smiles On understand They all understand it. However,

589
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: they also know something that I think the general public

590
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 1: sometimes struggles to grasp because you just don't get to

591
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: see from their vantage point. And that is the job

592
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: of being a college football head coach, especially has like

593
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: fifty seven million different layers to it. And there could

594
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: be some layers in there that you're really proud of

595
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: as your team goes four and eight, and you could

596
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: look at some of those individual layers and you could say,

597
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: you know what, we did not have the record we

598
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: wanted to this year, but and I'm proud of this.

599
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm proud of that, and I'm proud of him. General

600
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: public doesn't care. General public says you want four games,

601
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. Conversely, Dion could go eight and four

602
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: this year, but look at some of them those layers

603
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: and say, you know, we went eight and four, that's great. Well, actually,

604
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: he wouldn't say that's great. Most people would say they overachieved.

605
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: But Dion may look and say, you know record, notwithstanding,

606
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm not so happy with this layer. I think that

607
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: layer there is kind of a failure. And that was

608
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: the point he was trying to make. It's a whole

609
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: lot more than just the wins and losses on the

610
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: scoreboard come fall when you're judging how a man's running

611
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: this program. That's the first thing. The second thing was

612
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: just about standards and having high ones for yourself, and

613
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: how in the world would you ever want to coach

614
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: or any leader to think any way other than that.

615
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: I can promise you we think that way around here,

616
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: like we do a college football show. We're not even

617
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: running a program. Well, Pete State notwithstanding, we're not even

618
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: running a program around here. But there are times where

619
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: folks slap us on the back around here and say

620
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: we're doing a good job, and we take it and

621
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: we appreciate it, thank you so much, and then we

622
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: close the door and we hate the show we just produced.

623
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: Not because it wasn't good, not because it didn't get

624
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: good traffic, It just didn't meet our standard. Your standard

625
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: should be higher than anyone else's expectation level for you,

626
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: in fact, to the point where frequently you feel like

627
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: you failed. When the entire world is calling you a success.

628
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders is saying that, and it helps that he's

629
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: been viewed as one of the best his whole life,

630
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: So if you're anything but the best, you're viewed as

631
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: a failure. And even then he's saying, hey, expectation doesn't

632
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: really bother me so much because I exceed some of

633
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: your expectations and still haven't even met mine. So certainly,

634
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: if I meet mine, I have well exceeded yours. It's

635
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: always the attitude to have. That's not it's controversial. If

636
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: you don't think that way, it's a problem. If you

637
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: don't think that way, everything's not a controversy. You know,

638
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: even with Dion Sanders, even with Schador Sanders, even with Colorado,

639
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't all have to be a controversy. You don't

640
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: have to miscontextualize every quote out of the guy's mouth.

641
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: Sanders is flamboyant. They are flashy. They are a showman program.

642
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna give you plenty enough to talk about. They're

643
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: gonna win games, they're gonna lose games. They're going to

644
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 1: be interesting while they do it. I promise, promise, promise.

645
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: If you just take the stuff that's real and talk

646
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: about it. You'll get enough traffic, you'll get enough clicks

647
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: with Deon Sanders. You don't have to make stuff up.

648
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 1: I promise you don't have to make stuff up. Let's

649
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: move along. I did want to touch on that because

650
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: several people had asked about that, so I don't think

651
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: we spent too much time on it. But I don't

652
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: think we wasted time either. Let's continue. I had a

653
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: question about the SEC Colin. I don't even let the

654
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: way my voice inflected there, So don't include that in

655
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: the individual cut. Let me ask you, guys, how many

656
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: Tier one teams do you think there are in the

657
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: Southeastern Conference this year? I mean, if you were to

658
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: do it, it's very simple by tiers. How many of

659
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: them would you put in Tier one? Georgia clearly with

660
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: an over underwin total of ten and a half, maybe

661
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the conference in Carson Beck. They

662
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: poured a guys like Colby Jung at wide receiver, trevorytn

663
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: at running back. Those are impact starter guys even at

664
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: Georgia that they portaled in offensive lines top notch there.

665
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: It's easily a top three roster, if not better. In

666
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: college football it's an elite coaching staff, so certainly they're

667
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: a Tier one team in the SEC. Texas I got

668
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: some pushback on, but I don't know why Texas has

669
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: the second highest win total courtesy of FanDuel in the

670
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: SEC preseason. I think it meant something that they went

671
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: into Tuscaloosa and did what they did last year. It

672
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: certainly meant something that they made the playoff last year

673
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: and they didn't ultimately finish the job. They didn't win

674
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: at all. But there's not the newness factor anymore. They're

675
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: not wondering internally. I wonder if we can do that.

676
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if we can measure up. I wonder if

677
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: we are capable of this. They've already done it. A

678
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: lot of those guys are back. It's an elite quarterback room.

679
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: Even if you don't think quinn Ewers is the top

680
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: guy in the country, collectively, that room is very high level.

681
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: And all that that means is if quinn Ewers is

682
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: underachieving this year, he will not remain the starter there

683
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: because the guys behind him are too good. So quarterback

684
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: one way or the other is not dropping off all

685
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: that much for Texas this year. If it drops off

686
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: at all. They portaled in impact players at wide receiver,

687
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: tight end, edge safety. The offensive line has been totally

688
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: rebuilt there over the last couple of years, and they're

689
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: built for this challenge. Texas absolutely not only as a

690
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: Tier one team, they enter the SEC as a Tier

691
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: one team. I got some pushback on Bama, which basically

692
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: is just telling me, you guys wanted one team in

693
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: Tier one and that's all. That's not the way my

694
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: Tier one shakes out. Bama's at nine and a half

695
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: wins over under right now, they got the third best

696
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: odds to win the SEC. Kaylin de Bor's offense year

697
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: one at Alabama, it's very ironic, but I have more

698
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: questions about them this year than I think I'll have

699
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years. Next couple of years.

700
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: I know his offense is going to be explosive, and

701
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: I think it will be in time this year early on.

702
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: Is it how long does it take them to establish

703
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: go to names at wide receiver? Could there be names

704
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: there that have underachieved so far that they turn into

705
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: seven hundred plus yard per season type guys. You know

706
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: that's not a superstar, but that's a big time role player.

707
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: Not everyone can have fifteen hundred yards receiving. I think

708
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: there are some guys like that Onbama's roster that have

709
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: the capability that are now in the right offense to

710
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: take advantage of that. There are a lot of places there.

711
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: Edge Rush is one of them where I don't look

712
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: at them as being weak. I look at them as

713
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: being unknown. There are some big time names from recruiting

714
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: classes passed Yonza Pierre just randomly, Kean Keeley just randomly.

715
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: These are former five star caliber guys. So there's not weakness.

716
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: It's not lack of depth. It's just lack of proven guys.

717
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: Dallas Turner's not there, Will Anderson of course from two

718
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: years ago. You don't enter the season with one of

719
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: those guys. But once upon a time those guys didn't

720
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: have much experience under their belt either. So you gots

721
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: some really talented guys there. It's just like, what is

722
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: Caine Walmack t that into defensively? What is Nick Sheridan

723
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: and Kaylyn de Bore what do they turn that into offensively?

724
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 1: I still think it's a Tier one team in the SEC. Though.

725
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: These are very very first world problems, and you got

726
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: them at places like Alabama and you know what else,

727
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: Old Miss is a Tier one team entering twenty twenty four.

728
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: Some folks are struggling with this one. Everybody wants to

729
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: put that word out there. Everybody wants to make sure

730
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: they're on the record saying now watch out for Old Miss. Well,

731
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, plant your flag Tier one or not. I

732
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: think Old Miss is a Tier one team. It's not

733
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: a Tier one program. To me, it's a Tier one

734
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: team though. This year they needed the portal pieces. That

735
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: went and got the portal pieces. They got to have

736
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: them gel and there's no possible way for me to

737
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: know if that's going to happen. I trust that it'll happen.

738
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 1: They trust that it'll happen. They've built towards this year.

739
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: Their preseason is baked in. And what are you talking

740
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: about there? They don't have a preseason. What will they

741
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of do? Colin? Could you? Yeah? Yeah, show me

742
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: their schedule right quick. Yeah. There's no official preseason in college.

743
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: But when you play Furman and then you follow it

744
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: up with Middle Tennessee and then you go to Wake

745
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: Forest and then you play Georgia Southern, that's called a

746
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: preseason by major college football standards, and then when they

747
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: dive into conference play Kentucky at South Carolina. These are

748
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: no gimmes, but it's a great way to dive into

749
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 1: conference play. Hey, guess what I've gotten you through half

750
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: the season so far? That's already half. That's six games

751
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: under their belt, and everyone would pencil in w's there

752
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: so far. Then they go to LSU on the twelve.

753
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: Later down the road, they got Georgia at home. If

754
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: you tell me they're splitting those games, that's probably a

755
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: playoff team to they probably aford to lose one more.

756
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: It's twelve teams this year, guys, so a lot of

757
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: them get in ole miss especially with Jackson Dart and

758
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: at wide receiver room they have and you watch Quinn

759
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: Shawn Judkins walk out the door. But yet there's really

760
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of drop off because they've got

761
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: guys that can be plenty productive, multiple guys that can

762
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: be plenty productive in that back room. Defensively, how good

763
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: can Pete Golding have those guys playing this year? The

764
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: gelling with the portal, with how much they lean on it,

765
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: that's what matters. And I am blindly assuming until I

766
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: see otherwise that they can get it done. So I

767
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: would put Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Old miss those are my

768
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: Tier one teams this year. LSU upfront is a notch

769
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: below something that I would allow myself to call a

770
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: Tier one team. Missouri, the collective athletic profile of the

771
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: team is a notch below that of Alabama, that of Georgia,

772
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: that of Old miss that of Texas. People think I'm

773
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: hating on Missouri. No I'm not. No, I'm not. I

774
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: think the world of them. We are talking about bona

775
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: fide tier one teams. Tier one teams can have a

776
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: lot go wrong and still win because that much raw

777
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: athleticism just makes up for it. Missouri is not that

778
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: kind of team. Missouri is a team that could win

779
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: any game they play, but they've got to have a

780
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: whole lot more go right on any given satan Georgia does.

781
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that, It's just acknowledging the obvious

782
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: to me. Tennessee solid tier two team to me, does

783
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: not warrant Tier one consideration. So like, that's where my

784
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: mind's at. I'll be interested to see where you guys

785
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: go on that. No, No, Missouri doesn't suck. Who is

786
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: this Silas in the chat I saw you, You didn't

787
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: think I was watching. No, Missouri doesn't suck. This not

788
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: a ten or trash mentality around here. Ten or trash

789
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: mentality is a disease that has stricken college football. You know.

790
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: That's the guy who lives next door to you that

791
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: watches someone like Dan Lanning or Ryan Day and they

792
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: say things like, what if they won, you know, because

793
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: they haven't won the literal national title? What have they won? Well, man,

794
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: they've won a lot of football games. No, man, they suck.

795
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: What if they won?

796
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: Now?

797
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they don't suck. I'm pretty sure that

798
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: they're missing the last puzzle piece. And so what it

799
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: could be is, instead of a ten, they're just solid

800
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: nines right now. They don't suck Missouri right now. That

801
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: they may not win the SEC doesn't mean they suck.

802
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: It's not what that means. We will be at SEC

803
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: media days next week. We're gonna have a Tuesday show

804
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: and a Thursday show, and I have a sneaking suspicion

805
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: that we will do those shows earlier in the day.

806
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: And I also have a sneaking suspicion we'll have some

807
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: really big names on the show, and certain sids out

808
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: there need to check their phone because I will be

809
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: texting you later tonight. Who knows who's to amongst us,

810
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: knows who could show up on the show next week.

811
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, Tuesday and Thursday, I'm gonna give you shows

812
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: from Dallas. You have been put a smile on my face.

813
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: Dallas has always been good to us. And then we'll

814
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: be an indie the next week for Big ten Media Day,

815
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: So we're stoping. In fact, I'll probably produce more shows

816
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: for you, but we will have a wide variety of

817
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: content coming your way. Okay, kind of a related note here.

818
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: When we were doing that whole SEC thing earlier today,

819
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: we started talking about things other than the SEC. So

820
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: follow up question here. How many playoff contenders are there

821
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: in the ACC? I mean teams that you look at

822
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't surprise you if they made the playoff.

823
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: Clemson's one of them, Florida State is one of them.

824
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: Certainly they're over under win totals or nine and a half.

825
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: You know that the conference champs in automatically, so one

826
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: team's in automatically. There's a big point of conversation in

827
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: college football right now. How many teams will this conference

828
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: have in the playoffs? Some people think five from the SEC,

829
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: three from the Big whatever. No one can figure that

830
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: out right now. But will the ACC have more than

831
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: one in there? Well, I'm asking how many are capable

832
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: of it? Florida State yes, Clemson, yes, Miami. You guys

833
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: may not like it. They've got the same over underwent

834
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: total as Florida State and Clemson. Yes, clearly, Miami is

835
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: a playoff contender. Doesn't mean they can't screw it up,

836
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: but they're a playoff contender. So those three are out

837
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: of the way. North Carolina State's a playoff contender here now.

838
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: North Carolina State's one notch below with a winter of

839
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: eight and a half. This is a really sneaky good offense.

840
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: This could end up being one of the best offenses

841
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: in this conference. And it's a team that's known for defense,

842
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: and I think that may regress a little bit this year,

843
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: but it'll be made up for in the aggregate. Because

844
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: Grayson McCall transferred there. That's a guy over the past

845
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: three seasons that's been at least twenty touchdowns in three

846
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: picks or better each of those years. Veteran presence established

847
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: he's been there, He's done that. Kevin Concepcion probably a

848
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver you don't know about that you should know about,

849
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: because if he played in Austin, he would be a

850
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: star and he'd probably be on the cover of magazines

851
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: this year. They've got a really strong offensive line, they've

852
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,959
Speaker 1: got a good secondary. They what does ten and three

853
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: do for them? By the way, I was throwing this

854
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: at producer Jesse earlier today. Let's say they went ten

855
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: and two regular season and then they were in the

856
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: conference title game. Let's say they lost to Clemson or

857
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: Florida State someone like that. Would ten and three be

858
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: good enough? Because you know what would happen there. If

859
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: NC State was ten and two, they'll probably be sitting

860
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: there as the tenth or eleventh Ranke team in the country.

861
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: And then they would say, well, wait, so if the

862
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: playoff were decided today, we would be in right, But

863
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: because we earned a shot in the conference title game,

864
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: if we lose that, we're going to be out. That

865
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: makes no sense. Again, the incentive to play in the

866
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: conference title game as it relates to playoff inclusion, could

867
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: be a big story if they don't address that. Virginia

868
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: Tech yes, playoff contender in the ACC. One of the

869
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: best defenses in this conference. Their identity makes so much sense,

870
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: play rock solid defense. They can run the ball, may

871
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: have the best rushing offense in the conference. That's especially

872
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 1: true if Kyron Jones gives them what we here think

873
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: he can give them at quarterback. So you got a

874
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: elite run game, got a high level defense. They're hungry.

875
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: They've got a very manageable schedule. Colin, I think you

876
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: may have that in there. If you've got Virginia Tech schedule,

877
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: could you throw it up for me, even though I

878
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: didn't tell you I needed it, So we may not

879
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: have it all right, So they need a second So

880
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: until then I will commiserate about how I have not

881
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: been able to go to a game up there yet.

882
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: But it could change. Look at November nine, if you're

883
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: listening on podcasts yet later in the year. But what

884
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: if Virginia Tech welcomes Clemson to town and it's a

885
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: top ten, top fifteen showdown. It's not hard to envision, really,

886
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: because until that point, Virginia Tech's toughest game is at

887
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: Miami and that is Week five, and then they go

888
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: to Stanford. They go Why are we doing this. I

889
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: live in Blacksburg, Virginia. I'm gonna have to fly to

890
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: Miami and then come home, and then I'm gonna have

891
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 1: to fly to Palo Alto, California with no bye week.

892
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: I have to do that really well. Be that as

893
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: it may. They should still win the game. Then they

894
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: come home bye week, Boston College, Georgia Tech at home

895
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: at QS, and then Clemson. They may be favored in

896
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: all those games, or at least have a really good

897
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: shot to win all of them. So yeah, that game

898
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: against Clemson November ninth. The point I'm making to you

899
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: is they could split the Miami and Clemson games and

900
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: be in the ACC title game. This is a playoff contender.

901
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: The tier below the playoff contender to me is North Carolina.

902
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: Pretty workable schedule. I just don't know how good the

903
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,760
Speaker 1: team's gonna be this year. SMU first year in total

904
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 1: wildcard Syracuse the most workable schedule in the ACCT. Kyle

905
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 1: mccorderck quarterback, will see Louisville. They got the fifth best

906
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: odds to win the conference. I still put them a

907
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: tier below. They've got better odds than Virginia Tech. So

908
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: FanDuel would disagree with me here, but I give Virginia

909
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: Tech a better shot to make the playoff personally than

910
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: I do Louisville Georgia Tech wildcard team. I would also

911
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: put them a tier below playoff contender status. Okay, I

912
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: know why a lot of you are here. I pushed

913
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: this to later in the show because I wanted some

914
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: of you who have never been here before to see that.

915
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you like it, maybe you want to subscribe, and

916
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: you should. You absolutely should not because I said so,

917
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: but just because I really need YouTube. There you go.

918
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: That's a good cell job. It hurts me to keep

919
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: secrets from you, guys, but I've had to keep a

920
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: secret locked away for it feels like weeks now. I

921
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: think we have the EA Sports CFB twenty five game,

922
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: that video game that come out to like next week

923
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: or a couple weeks from now. We've got it. Okay,

924
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: like we played it earlier today, we've got it. I'm

925
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: showing you footage from it right now. If you're watching

926
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: on YouTube, and if you're listening on podcasts, just just

927
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: picture it or go look at the YouTube channel later.

928
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: Because I uploaded a whole bunch and I got a

929
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: whole bunch more coming for you over the next couple

930
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: of days, because we did something with all the top

931
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: twenty five teams, not just the first five I released

932
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: earlier today. This is why you need to be following

933
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: on social By the way, at Late Kick, Josh, I

934
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: put all that out earlier today before the show, and

935
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: if you're not following, you miss all of it. You're

936
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: not getting that anywhere else. What other show's doing that

937
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: for you? Anyway, I've got some thoughts on the game.

938
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: We've played it. We have taken as deep a dive

939
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: into this game as we possibly can. They took care

940
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 1: of you, guys, is the first words out of my mouth.

941
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's not a string in my back. Okay,

942
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: the folks at EA didn't pull it. There's nothing in

943
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: a teleprompter anywhere. They haven't instructed me on what to say.

944
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: In fact, they haven't told me anything to say other

945
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: than get the name of the game right. So I'm

946
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: shooting you straight here now. They took care of you.

947
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: They adhere to tradition in this game. There is immense

948
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: detail on the playbook, the individual offensive playbooks. If you

949
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: run it, if it's specific to your guy, if it's

950
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: specific to euroc it's in that game custom celebrations. You know,

951
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: the shador watch check. That's just attention to detail. Man,

952
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: that's in the game. Ton of attention to detail in

953
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: Dynasty Mode and Road to Glory. If you guys were

954
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: interested in that, you're gonna love both of those. Home

955
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: field is crazy important. Like, for example, you take Ohio

956
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: State into Penn State and you line up and it's

957
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: third and six and you want the slot to switch

958
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: to the hot route. You can call the hot route

959
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: if you want to. But if that place is on fire,

960
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: like we know State College to be on a game

961
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: day Saturday, hot route may not even go through. It's

962
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that would actually happen to your

963
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,439
Speaker 1: team on the road. That will happen to your team

964
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: on the road in this game beautifully done. The home

965
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: environments are great true to life, but also the impact

966
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: of playing on the road is really true to life.

967
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: In the game. Your Madden fears can go ahead and

968
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: be put to rest. This is not Madden. This is

969
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: this is EA, NCAA College foot or it's e CFB

970
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: twenty five. This is not the Madden game. A lot

971
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: of you were scared about that. One of the first

972
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: things producer Jesse said to me when the news came

973
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: down that it was back is I hope this isn't

974
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: just Madden two point zero. Hope they don't use the

975
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 1: Maden engine. They didn't. This is the college football engine.

976
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: It's very unique to this game. We think the offense

977
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: feels more challenging. You know, if you're good at this game.

978
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: You know, in the past running the ball was a

979
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: little bit too easy. No longer. No longer. You know,

980
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: in the past, if you're good at this game, you

981
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: don't throw many picks, no longer. So running the ball

982
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: is a chore. Accuracy in the passing game is a chore.

983
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: You're going to throw picks, So go ahead and get

984
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: your mind right or stock up on extra controllers, because

985
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: it's going to happen even to the best of you, Yes,

986
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: even you. The gaps also in quality are more glaring.

987
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 1: So if you have a relative weakness on the left

988
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: side of your offensive line, and I got one of

989
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: the best edge rushers in college football, I could wreck you.

990
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: And that is something that happens in real life. But

991
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: when you used to get on the sticks, you used

992
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, but I mean I'm good enough at

993
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: this game that that elite edge rusher combo won't affect me.

994
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: If you got poor offensive tackles, it will. Don't care

995
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: who you are, it will. The pop passes on the

996
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: jet sweeps, let me just give you. Let me just

997
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:19,919
Speaker 1: give you a little spoiler effective effective. So you put

998
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: that wide receiver in jet motion a little pop pass.

999
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 1: Very low risk, by the way, as it play. Tough

1000
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: to stop. It's not quite half back direct of the

1001
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: mid two thousands, but it's tough to stop. Field goals

1002
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: are no longer gimmes. Extra points no longer gimmes, not

1003
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: that they were total gimmes ever, but those are more difficult,

1004
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: Like I would encourage you to practice those. And it's

1005
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: the game you wanted. Okay, that's the thing I wrote

1006
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: down because I don't have many notes on this. It's

1007
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: the game you wanted, and we got more coming on this.

1008
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you, and I'm gonna give you some

1009
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: some juice and some scoop and some gameplay footage for

1010
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: team's number six through twenty five. At some point over

1011
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: the next seventy two hours, you need to be following

1012
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: on social at late kick Josh and you need to

1013
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: be subscribed to the YouTube channel, because when I tell you,

1014
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: we bring you stuff other people can't tell or can't

1015
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: bring you. This is what I mean. There's a you know,

1016
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: there's a reason why EA reached out to us. It's

1017
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: because you've made this show gigantic and they want to

1018
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: reach you. And so here you go. We're reaching out,

1019
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: giving you as much as we possibly can before this

1020
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 1: game drops. Our friends at FanDuel know as well as

1021
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: I do, know as well as you do, that the

1022
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: season is almost at hand. Forty eight hours from now,

1023
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: I guess about thirty six hours from now, I'll be

1024
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,240
Speaker 1: tweeting out the Cornfield picture and it will be Saturday

1025
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: morning and it will say, I think six Saturdays until

1026
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: college football. We got six Saturdays left. And if you

1027
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm talking about, it is one of

1028
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: the great traditions that we do here. You need to

1029
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: be following to see it. But they've got so many

1030
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: games already on the board, all the weeks zero and

1031
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: week on games up. They've got totals up, they've got

1032
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: point spreads up. But you've of course got the odds

1033
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: to win your conference. But what I have loved over there,

1034
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: and I keep watching the odds market because it keeps shifting.

1035
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,919
Speaker 1: Is you've got several teams and they've got a yes

1036
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: no proposition on the teams odds to make the playoff

1037
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: or miss the playoff. So if you take Clemson, we

1038
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: were just talking about them, you think they're gonna make

1039
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: the playoff, you can go click yes right now and

1040
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: it'll give you the odds. Click no right now, and

1041
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: it'll give you the odds. And so it's not just

1042
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: betting teams to make something anymore. If you hate these

1043
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 1: teams with a white hot passion, that's fine. FanDuel said,

1044
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: bring your hatred and your money and bet no. If

1045
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: you're that kind of person, just bet no on all

1046
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: of your most hated rivals to miss the playoff and

1047
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: actually profit off their misery. It's not an official tagline

1048
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: at FanDuel, but it could be. So misery is not

1049
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world as long as you

1050
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: bet no ahead of it. FanDuel the exclusive odds provider

Speaker 1: We wrap up the show as we frequently do this

1075
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,760
Speaker 1: time of year, Bold prediction time. What do you believe

1076
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,919
Speaker 1: and what do you believe hard enough that you would

1077
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: bet your own money on? This college football season rapidly approaching.

1078
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: I got one right here that qualifies as a nine

1079
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: point five on the boldness scale. Remember the rules. If

1080
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: you predict something nine point five or higher and it hits,

1081
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: you get a chalice of supremacy. Austin from Cape Coral?

1082
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 1: Is it Cape Corral? Thinks? Cape Carral, Florida? No team

1083
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,240
Speaker 1: north of the Mason Dixon line will make the final

1084
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: four in the playoff. For our purposes, and this is

1085
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 1: going to be debated. For our purposes, we took the

1086
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: Maryland Pennsylvania state line, and we just drew a line

1087
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: straight across the country. That's our Mason Dixon line. You

1088
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: know what sue us because it is for simplicity's purposes.

1089
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: And here's what it basically boiled down to Ohio State's

1090
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: north of this thing. So they can't make the final four.

1091
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: Michigan can't make it, Penn State can't make it, Notre

1092
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: Dame can't make it, Oregon, Utah, they can't make the

1093
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: final four. None of them are allowed to make it,

1094
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: or this production or this prediction goes up in smoke.

1095
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: They got it. Look, here's what could happen. I suppose

1096
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: Ohio State could win their conference, but that have to

1097
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: lose the first game they play, they get a buy

1098
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: in the playoff, they'd have to lose or they'd already

1099
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,439
Speaker 1: be in the Final four. So yeah, these teams could

1100
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: technically make the playoff, and they could lose and be

1101
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: out and the prediction would still be alive. I just

1102
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: think this is way too bold. Tell me we're gonna

1103
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: have a final four with none of the major Big

1104
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: ten teams. You're telling me we're gonna have a Final four,

1105
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: Like what happened? Did USC make a run? Did the

1106
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: Big Ten just get knocked out entirely? I don't know.

1107
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: This is a nine point five on the boldness scale

1108
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: for me. Next up, we've got a two parter here.

1109
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: Nicholas from Athens said Clemson will beat Georgia in the

1110
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: opener and they'll win the ACC title, which means they

1111
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: make the playoff. This is a nine Jesse, I'm gonna

1112
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: change it, nine point twenty five on the boldness scale.

1113
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: We have a line on this game at FanDuel. Clemson

1114
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: is a thirteen point five point underdog to Georgia in

1115
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: Week one. They are the second odds on favorite to

1116
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: win the ACC right now, long shot to beat Georgia.

1117
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: Pretty competitive to win the acced Clemson. They turned the

1118
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: ball over a lot last year, but they forced a

1119
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: lot of turnovers as well. So if they can cut

1120
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: down on one and then they can continue, you to

1121
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: force the other game against Georgia, who knows what could happen.

1122
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: That's a tall task. Georgia comes into those things completely

1123
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: tuned up. They're playing in Atlanta. If they do beat Georgia,

1124
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: though there's some correlation here. If they are good enough

1125
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: to beat Georgia, they're probably good enough to be the

1126
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: best team in the ACC. So you know, if comes

1127
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: and beats Georgia week one, they'd be the immediate favorite

1128
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: to win the conference. But you gotta beat Georgia, and

1129
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: that's a nine point twenty five because that alone is

1130
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: gonna be tough next up. It sounds bold, but is it?

1131
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: Cj from Atlanta. Two SEC quarterbacks finished number one and

1132
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: number two for the Heisman this year. I made this

1133
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: an eight point five. Although it's never happened before. I

1134
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: don't think it's it's like out of the realm of possibility.

1135
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: Because if you look at the FanDuel odds to win

1136
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: the Heisman right now, how about nine SEC quarterbacks are

1137
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen of the Heisman nods. Six of

1138
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: the top eight eight Heisman favorites are SEC quarterbacks. Carson

1139
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Begs up there, quin Ewers, Jackson Dart, Jalen Milroe, Nico Aya, Maliava, Garrettnusmeyer, Wigman,

1140
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold, even Brady Cooks fifteenth. So if cam Ward

1141
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: at Miami doesn't blow up, you know, if Dylan Gabriel

1142
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: at Oregon doesn't blow up, this could happen. And even

1143
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: if they do, a couple of these guys have big

1144
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: time years that could happen. That's an eight point five

1145
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale for me. And that's a really

1146
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: creative prediction, by the way. And lastly, let's go to

1147
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: the big twelve for just a second. Carson from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

1148
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State finally wins its first Big Twelve championship since

1149
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. Two Big twelve teams make the playoff. Nine

1150
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: point five on the Boldness scale here. Oak State has

1151
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: the third best odds to win the conference. That's not crazy.

1152
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: They are extremely experienced on offense, especially the O lime

1153
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 1: they need defense to improve. Do you get conference championship

1154
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: game magic here? Because that, I think is what would

1155
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: have to happen. Let's say Kansas State goes twelve and

1156
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: zero and they're in the conference title game. And let's

1157
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: say Oklahoma State goes ten and two, but they make

1158
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: the conference title game and win it. There you go,

1159
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State won the Big Twelve, but Kansas State, if

1160
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: they were twelve and one, they may still make the

1161
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: conference or the playoff as well. That's how you would

1162
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: probably have to go about getting your two Big twelve

1163
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: teams in there Conference championship game magic. Notwithstanding, that's a

1164
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: nine point five on the bowld in the scale. A

1165
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 1: little too rich. No bigger Big twelve fan than me,

1166
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: but a little bit too rich. Appreciate you guys watching

1167
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: our show on the dot tonight. We've got a ton

1168
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday, we'll be here and then we'll fly

1169
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: to Dallas and we'll be there. We'll do a live

1170
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: show Tuesday. We'll do a live show Thursday. We'll be

1171
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: back here for Sunday. We'll go to Indianapolis. We'll do

1172
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: something Tuesday, we'll do something Thursday. Are we back to

1173
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: three shows per week? We kind of sort of are,

1174
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: but not officially. Now, let me tell you one more

1175
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: thing we're talking about internally here. I'm thinking about making

1176
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: my playoff prediction Sunday. It is on the table. It

1177
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: is well within the realm of possibility that we throw

1178
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: the template just out. And I normally do it the

1179
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: last week of August. I may just go ahead and

1180
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: predict because I feel pretty halfway decent about where I

1181
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: think the season is going to go. And it may

1182
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:32,919
Speaker 1: be that I changed my mind in August. Who knows.

1183
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: But we may do playoff predictions at least one point

1184
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:40,919
Speaker 1: zero on the show this summer. So wow, what made
