1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in to Lake AGAs Live. It is

2
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: Thursday night, November, fourth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty one.

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: A little bit late if you're live, if you're listening

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning on your commute to work in Poka Tello, Idaho,

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: then you don't even know that we were late on air.

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: And thank you for hanging around in the live chat.

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: So it is Show two hundred. We do not have

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: the party planning budget to get balloons, but it is

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: Show two hundred. We have been here for two hundred episodes.

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. We have I think at least two hundred

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: more in our pocket column two hundred more at least. Yeah,

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: so over under two hundred and a half. Take the over.

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: Be smart. We have got a loaded show tonight High

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: Top downtown Nashville, and we are prepared to talk about bias.

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: Bias is being alleged. I can't believe this. What I

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: can't believe is a group of people put out a

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: list of rankings about something as important as college football,

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: and some people disagreed with it. There are some mad

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: folks out there. We're going to talk about bias allegedly

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: on the committee. I am going to give you several

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: week ten predictions. We have got a very very good

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: weekend coming up that does not feature a lot of

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: top ten versus top ten matchups. But what it does feature,

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: in case you hadn't already noticed, is a lot of

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: those highly ranked teams with really small point spreads and

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: a lot of cases on the road. I think disasters

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: coming this weekend. I'm just going to put it to

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: you like that, Absolute and utter chaos probably on deck

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: for Saturday, and we will predict it as best we

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: know how. Around here, the coaching carousel, this is the

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: new age. We don't wait until December or January. A

32
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: lot of folks have already been let go. There are rumors,

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: to varying degrees at least about maybe more coaches on

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: the hot seat. Now. We don't play the hot seat

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: game a lot around here, But what I do like

36
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: to do is when something has happened, I e. Gary

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: Patterson is no longer the head coach at TCU, we

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: can freely speculate and we can try and be as

39
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: informed with some intel and whispers as we can. Going

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: to talk about that, because already it's been crazy. I mean,

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: think about that. Now we've got USC and LSU already

42
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: opened up, but it could get infinitely crazier. If some

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: things were to go sideways for a couple of programs

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: of note down the stretch, it could get really, really crazy.

45
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: So I'm going to talk about that. We're going to

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: add four more best bets onto the Rama Noodle Express.

47
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: We are going to leave this show tonight having already

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: put ten on the Rama Noodle Express. I told you

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: no holds barred this week. We are not going to

50
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: be selective. We're going to trust the model. It's been

51
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: killing it. We have not so we're riding the model.

52
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: All that and more. Make sure you're following Instagram and

53
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: Twitter at Late Kick, Josh. I appreciate you guys so

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: much looking at basically all the numbers they send me

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: every day, shows doing great, above and beyond what we

56
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: ever imagined it could. So thank you for that. So

57
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: let's dive into this show tonight, because I got a

58
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: lot to get to and this is the kind of

59
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: show that could be thirty minutes, could be an hour

60
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: and a half. I have no clue where we're going

61
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: to go. The College Football Playoff Committee, of course, released

62
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: their initial rankings on Tuesday night, and that was met

63
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: with some agreement, but a lot more anger. Well, there's

64
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: no better way to put it. A lot of you

65
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: were angry, and I think it's the least surprising headline

66
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: in our society. A lot of folks were mad at

67
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: a list of rankings. Hey, there are worse things in

68
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: the world. You know that. I am a believer that

69
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: people being mad is not the worst thing in the world,

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: nor is people being mad automatically a reason to change anything.

71
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: So the college football playoff selection process, we watched it

72
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: go down, and we've already talked about the team, so

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: I'm not breaking down the rankings per se. But there

74
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: are allegations, of course, of bias out there, and I

75
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: don't really buy into it all that much. But that's okay,

76
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: because what I want to do is I want to

77
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: talk through it. I'm willing to listen. I've done a

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot of it over the past

79
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. There's a lot of allegations of bias.

80
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of allegations of G five hatred, and

81
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: they're being boxed out, you know the drill. So my

82
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: question now I want to open it with this is

83
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: are you and I'm talking to each individual along with myself.

84
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: Are we able to separate identifying something that is laced

85
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: with bias or an agenda versus something that we just

86
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: disagree with someone on. Because Colin can say the best

87
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: color is red, I could say the best color is blue.

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Is he biased against blue? Or does he just really

89
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: believe the best color is red? Two totally different worlds there,

90
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: Like has the red lobbyist got to him and lined

91
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: his pockets and he's against blue? Or does Colin just

92
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: say I kind of like the color red? More Two

93
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: different worlds there. So I think this is my premise.

94
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: There may be some maybe shades of bias that are

95
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: being cast over this process. Process being the key word

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: that may be unfair labels. There I go, defending the committee.

97
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: So you've got a chance to change in my mind.

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Let's dive in here. The first thing I want to

99
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: talk about is what has come to be known as

100
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: the Sensi conundrum, and I need to go ahead and

101
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: copyright that. So I think it could be a halfway

102
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: decent R and B group down the road. But right

103
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: now it is just the Cincinnati Bearcats being ranked outside

104
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: the top four and the top five, and they're all

105
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: the way down at number six right now. That's the

106
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: problem according to many. The problem, according to many Cincinnati

107
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: ranked at number six. The case against it is, well,

108
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: they're undefeated and they should be ranked higher because well

109
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: we just think they should. And therefore the conclusion is

110
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: G five hate, anti Cincinnati bias, anti G five bias.

111
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: The best argument I've heard is that that's the case

112
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: four since he being ranked higher, there are loads of

113
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: metrics that are against it. For the record, I agree,

114
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: since he is largely ranked where they should be right now,

115
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have a problem if they were higher. Personally,

116
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that win on the road it Notre

117
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: Dame's worth a whole lot, but I don't have a

118
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: huge issue with it. I'm kind of indifferent, to be

119
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: honest with you on all this. But the case against

120
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: anyone having since the outside the top four is just

121
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: automatically you hate the G five. You're against Cincinnati. Well,

122
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: I know I'm not. I mean, I have been beating

123
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati drum all year? So am I anti G five?

124
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Am I laced with all that bias? What I'm at

125
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: is this because this is what I keep getting thrown

126
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: at me. I keep getting thrown at me. If that

127
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: team right there in Cincinnati was a Power five brand name,

128
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: that'd be ranked a lot higher, Well, no, they wouldn't.

129
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: You know how I know that pretty definitively because I

130
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: looked a couple of ticks below Cincinnati at the number

131
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: eight spot, and you know what I found? I found

132
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: an undefeated Oklahoma Sooners team, undefeated brand name, Power five

133
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Sooners ranked all the way down at eight below Cincinnati.

134
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: How'd that happen? Was it an oversight? Did that Power

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: five lobbyist just happened to overlook Oklahoma there? Of course not.

136
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: The bottom line here is there's a process that was

137
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: adhered to since us where they're supposed to be according

138
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: to that process. You can disagree with the process, but

139
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't always mean someone's out to get you just

140
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: because you happen to disagree with something. The next thing

141
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: is a phrase that we've heard a long time in

142
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: the recruiting world, the old band I'm a bump. Bama's

143
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: at number two right now. A lot of you think

144
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: this shouldn't be. Obama has finished ranked number one in

145
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: the twenty four to seven Sports team recruiting rankings for

146
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: a long time, and inevitably you got a kid that

147
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: used to be ranked three stars. Nick Saban takes him

148
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: early in the process and he ends up with a

149
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: mid four star grade, and that's a Bama bump. Now,

150
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: what that allegation does not go on to do is

151
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: track the kid's career and when he ends up getting

152
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: drafted twenty first, overall, no one revisits it. No one

153
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: revisits the allegations of Bama's artificially inflated recruiting rankings when

154
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: those same recruiting classes are winning title after title after title,

155
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: because it's all about sound bites, it's all about snapshots,

156
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: it's all about momentary tweets, and then it's out of

157
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: the way and no one ever revisits that stuff. So

158
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: the allegations of the Bama bump in the recruiting world

159
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: I've always laughed at because it's backed up. The ranking

160
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: is backed up on the field. Well, in this world

161
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: here the Playoff Committee ranking world, Alabama's ranked number two

162
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: right now. And so the Bama bump theory is that

163
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: they really shouldn't be there, and if other programs maybe

164
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: had that resume, they'd probably be ranked like fifth or sixth.

165
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Look I looked at where Michigan State was. I looked

166
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: at where Bama was. Me personally, like my personal feelings

167
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: injected here for just a second, I could not care

168
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: less if you put in Michigan State at two, if

169
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: you put Bama at three, I wouldn't mind it. What

170
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you is according to a long and at

171
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: this point established track record of the process that they

172
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: go about using to define these rankings. Alabama's where they're

173
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be. I'm going to get back to that

174
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: in a second, long established track record of tangible process.

175
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: Now it's not just something that's made up spur of

176
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: the moment. I want to also address the big lie

177
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: or big lies, and to put a finer point on it.

178
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: The believers of the big lies in college football, those

179
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: lies are a a win is a win, and b

180
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: you are what your record says you are. Those are

181
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: the big lies in college football. You are not automatic

182
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: what your record says you are, and a win is

183
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: not a win. If a win is a win and

184
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: you are what your record says you are, then if

185
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: I go to Akron and beat them by three, and

186
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: you go to Bama tomorrow and lose by three. That

187
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: means I'm better than you on what planet? Does that

188
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: make sense? What happened quite a while ago is there

189
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: was a shift. College football blew up in the early

190
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: to mid two thousands in popularity. It just skyrocketed. Well,

191
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: guess what happened. A lot of folks who had been

192
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: covering pro ball their entire careers, they got reassigned to

193
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: cover college football, and some of them chose to. They said,

194
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: look at that burgeoning collegeport, I want to go cover it.

195
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: Some that was fine. The saloon door swings both ways,

196
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: that's fine. Here was the problem, and here still is

197
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: the problem today. Some of you, dare I say a

198
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 1: significant portion of you you brought the pro sports mentality.

199
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: You took the Sunday ideology, and you brought it into

200
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: the Saturday saloon. We don't have room for that here.

201
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: You have to have a lot more nuanced in context

202
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: in the discussion then your one. You know, I'm zho

203
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: in one. Hey, it is what it is. You must

204
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: be better than me, that's not it. You aren't what

205
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: your record says you are all the time in this sport.

206
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: If it were that easy, then my little five year

207
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: old Nephew could figure this stuff out and we wouldn't

208
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: even need a committee, and you don't need the AP

209
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: and you don't need the BCS or anything like that.

210
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: College football is different. It's okay to admit it. Secondly,

211
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: a win is not a win. If a win were

212
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: a win, then that team at number eight, the Oklahoma Sooners,

213
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: would be number one or number two? How is Oklahoma

214
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: number eight? How is Georgia number one? Their records look

215
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: the same to me, because a win is not just

216
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: a win, and you aren't just what your record says

217
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you are. Anyone who believes in that stuff, who has

218
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: an IQ above room temperature is either being willfully ignorant

219
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: or they really don't know what this sport's about. I

220
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: don't really know any other way to put it, because

221
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen some reasonable people out there that

222
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: have come at me with that, but after we talked

223
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: it through, I mean, most reasonable people understand. Yeah, Okay,

224
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: I guess we do have to put a little bit

225
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: more context into it than just what's your record and

226
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: did you win? Because that's the end all be all

227
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: that is important. Competition is supremely important. I'm not trying

228
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: to tell you it's not. That's why we're not letting

229
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: three or four lost teams in this thing. But if

230
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: you want to know, if a two loss Auburn were

231
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: to run the table, how would they get their way

232
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: back up into that top four whereas maybe an undefeated

233
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: or one loss Wake would be on the outside looking

234
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: at it's because of the two big lies being swatted

235
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: down as they should. But all that notwithstanding, you can

236
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: believe I'm wrong about all that. You can believe there

237
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: is a ton of Bama bias, and you can believe

238
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: there is a ton of G five hatred here, and

239
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: you can believe in both of those big lies. I

240
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: want to ask you a simple question if that committee,

241
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: because here's the third lie, here's the big playoff lie.

242
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: If that committee truly is going into the room and

243
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: just making it up as they go, and they're manufacturing

244
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: some rankings in order to justify other rankings, could you

245
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: tell me why guys like Adam McClintock and Dave bar

246
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: two are able to tell me what the playoff rankings

247
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: are going to be before they're released, Because those guys

248
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: have been doing really good work. I don't know if

249
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: you've been following their work, but Dave bartwo Adam McLintock

250
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter, I would highly advise you to look them

251
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: up if you enjoy spoilers, if you want to know

252
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: what the rankings are going to be before they're released.

253
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: Either the playoff committees leaking to them, which we know

254
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: is not true, or there is a process They figured

255
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: it out. They took the established data and metrics and

256
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: the step by step of that process and they apply

257
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: it to real world, real time results on the field,

258
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: and they're able to tell you where the teams are

259
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: going to be ranked. I watched them do it the

260
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: other night. Mcglenttok had oh you nailed well, while the

261
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: rest of America was shocked that Oklahoma was at eight

262
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: and that since he was at six, they nailed it.

263
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: How'd they know that? If it's getting made up on

264
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: the fly, how are their people out there who speak

265
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: mathematics fluently, who are able to figure that stuff out.

266
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't make a lot of sense, does it. So

267
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to believe that this is is not

268
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: buy it. You want to believe in the bias. You

269
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: want to believe there's a boogeyman in closet over there

270
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: out to get your program. In reality, there is a

271
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: set list of criteria, there's a process that committees following it.

272
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: If you've got a problem, you've got a problem with

273
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: the process, at which point we can have a different discussion.

274
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: But if you're trying to tell me that it's just

275
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: being made up as they go along, that's intellectually dishonest

276
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: and I'm probably not gonna proceed much further down the

277
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: road of that conversation. Colin. I didn't want to go

278
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: that long, but I did. Oh well, So I've got

279
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: some good news. Good news number one, We're heading to

280
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: College Station Saturday, and I'm gonna be there like I

281
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: should have should have yes earlier this season, I missed

282
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: the upset over Alabama. If you guys beat Auburn, I

283
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: will be in the house for it. So we're looking

284
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: forward to taking the Late Cake Renaissance tour there. But

285
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: here's the other good news. I'm meeting up with our

286
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: friends from Academy Sports as I'm in College Station, and

287
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: they are going to line my pockets not with money,

288
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: but with fresh batches of Academy gift cards for me

289
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: to hand out. Academy Sports and Outdoors. Of course, our

290
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: exclusive partner on the show. They make all of this

291
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: fancy stuff you see possible, and we appreciate it. I'm

292
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: trying to get some cardboard cutouts of various notable figures,

293
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: maybe a column cardboard cutout sponsored by Academy. A lot

294
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: of things were working on, but the point is what

295
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: we have now is we have Academy as the official

296
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: outdoor Sporting good supplier of not only the Big twelve

297
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: and the SEC, but of Late Kick. And it's been

298
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: beautiful to see as we go on the road, and

299
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: we'll do it again this weekend. It's been beautiful to

300
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: see the interaction between me and you guys, and it's

301
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: always Hey Josh, good to see you. Love the show.

302
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Check out this thing I bought from Academy. Usually in

303
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: that order, maybe a hou's the family mixed in there,

304
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: but it's usually somewhere in that order. Hey man, how's

305
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: an Academy? The other day? Meant to send you a picture?

306
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: Did you get the tweet? Did you see the receipt?

307
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: So I appreciate all that. I'm going to have some

308
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: gift cards. So if you're in town Saturday now, I

309
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: run into a whole lot of you, and I'm gonna

310
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: have a little bit more free time than I would

311
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: normally have this Saturday, just cause the way our pregame

312
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: and post game is working out. Wise. Just find me

313
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: and if I still have some, I'm going to hand

314
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: them out. It's really that easy. There's no string attached

315
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: to the card. You don't have to fill out a form.

316
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: It's just straight up free money from Academy to you

317
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: and no other questions asked. Just make sure you spend

318
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: it wisely, because those cards, it's beautiful when you have

319
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: it in your hand. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. I gave.

320
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: I gave one out today right here in Nashville. Gave

321
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: one out today. Beautiful thing. So we appreciate Academy for

322
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: making so so so much possible for us. Week ten

323
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: is upon us just mention that we're going to College Station.

324
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: We'll be there for Auburn at Texas A and M.

325
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: But we broke that game down the other night. If

326
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: you miss that prediction. We have the entire preview video

327
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: up on the twenty four seven Sports YouTube channel, which

328
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: reminds me before I get into the preview here the

329
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: numbers down to seventy nine, but seventy nine percent of

330
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: our viewers on this channel are still unsubscribed. Not going

331
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: to say I'm angry about it, because I'm not. I'm

332
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: just going to say I'm disappointed in you. And no

333
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: one wants anyone disappointed in them. So for those of

334
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: you who are subbed, all seventy one some one thousand

335
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: of you, thank you. I think that we can do better.

336
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: So please, it's free. You don't get spammed to death,

337
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: nothing bad happens, it's all good and nothing bad. Just

338
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: subscribe to the channel. It helps us out a whole lot.

339
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: With that in mind, now let's talk about some Week

340
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: ten predictions. Ohio State first up. They are fifteen point

341
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: favorites and it's floating that numbers floated from fourteen and

342
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: a half to sixteen. They're on the road. They're at Nebraska.

343
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: Nebraska pound four Pound's probably the most underrated team at

344
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: the Power five level when you take a ranking versus

345
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: power rating perspective, there's a big gap. Ryan Day knows it.

346
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Day at Ohio State this week has tried to

347
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: preach as much as he can. I do not care

348
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: that this team sub five hundred. It's a good team.

349
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: What he's seeing is he seeing past the record, that

350
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: old context in college football we talk so much about.

351
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: What he's watching is that Michigan film, that top ten

352
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: Michigan team. Nebraska pushed him to the limit. He's watching

353
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: that Michigan State film. Nebraska versus Michigan State, Michigan State

354
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: right now in the top four, Nebraska pushed him to

355
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: the very limit. And he's also watching him play Oklahoma,

356
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: another top ten team right now undefeated. Nebraska pushed him

357
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: to the very limit. See, Nebraska is a couple of

358
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: bounces away here and there from being right in the

359
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: thick of this, but instead there's sub five hundred, and

360
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: they're out of every contention based metric. They're good. I'm

361
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: just telling you they're a lot better team, and Ryan

362
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: Day knows it. Their offensive line at Ohio State played

363
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: good enough to win the other night against Penn State.

364
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: Nothing to write home about, though, when it comes to

365
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: the Buckeye Standard, nothing to write home about. It is

366
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: a classic situation where, of course the coaching staff knows.

367
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: The coaching staff hopes they've hammered it home to their

368
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: team enough to know we cannot be going in here

369
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: and sleep walking. This is not any time for experimentation.

370
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: This is not a time to figure some things out.

371
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: This is not a time to pad anyone's stats. It's

372
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: going to be a knife fight if you allow it.

373
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: That's why fast starts really important. There are a couple

374
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: of games here we're about to break down, this being

375
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: one of them where it's imperative that you don't allow

376
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: that crowd to believe early, because if Ohio State allows

377
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: even a nicks worth of blood in the water earlier,

378
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: it's going four quarters. Nebraska is good enough to hang

379
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: in there, and if you give them a couple of breaks,

380
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: then that crowd and that team at home, they're good

381
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: enough to kick the rest of the thing down themselves.

382
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: So I'm going to take Ohio State to win this game.

383
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: The model thinks the number is just about right. It's

384
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: above two touchdowns. In terms of point spread, I'm gonna

385
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: go Nebraska plus the points, I will go Ohio State

386
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: to win. I think we'll know a lot by about

387
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: the ten minute mark in the second quarter. If Ohio

388
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: State's already settled in and they have established that early

389
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: lead and it's Nebraska trying to play keep up, that's

390
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: one thing. But if there's been an early turnover, and

391
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: then there's been another couple of throws down the field

392
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: against that Ohio State secondary. They got a guy out

393
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: in the first half. And so defensively, if there's some

394
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: weaknesses in Nebraska pops you early four quarters. It's going

395
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: four quarters. Most football games do. It's just sometimes they're

396
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: out of reaching the fourth quarter. That one I think

397
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: may go four quarters. LSU is at Alabama, and I'm

398
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: a little depressed here. I'm a little depressed because, well,

399
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: it's not noteworthy. We didn't even do an LSU Alabama

400
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: individual video breakdown. Why Bama's favored by twenty eight and

401
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: a half, which is about the same point spread that

402
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: existed on this game last year. And remember last year

403
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: it was one of our biggest best bets of the year.

404
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: Think about that Bama laying I think twenty nine last year,

405
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: and yet we said it's still nowhere close. And it

406
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: was bad, it was violent, it was terrible what they

407
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: did to LSU last year, straight up NC seventeen rated beatdown.

408
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: So now the game's in Tuscaloosa, there's another fat point

409
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: spread on this thing. I'm very interested to watch this,

410
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: not because of the outcome being in doubt, but I'm

411
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: very interested to watch what Alabama is coming out of

412
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: the bye week. I'm a believer that whatever they're going

413
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: to be offensively, you're gonna see it Saturday. I mean,

414
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: there is like I said with Ohio State, this is

415
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: no more time for experimentation. You're not trying anything else.

416
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: This is November. You are who you're going to be

417
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: as a team when you come out of that bye week.

418
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: Positions where it is for Alabama and you're in November.

419
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: If they've decided that we're not going to try and

420
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: rotate receivers in there, We've identified three or four and

421
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: we're going to ride them, this is where you'll see it.

422
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: If they're tired of seeing Julil Billingsley be somewhat of

423
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: a liability at times at tight end, they want to

424
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: ride a lot too, and they want to be more

425
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: physical in the run game, this is where you'll see it.

426
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: My point is if they want to inject more tempo

427
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: and they trust Bryce youngmore coming out of the by

428
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: this is where you'll see it. A lot of people think,

429
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: all they'll save some stuff for Auburn, they'll save some

430
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: stuff for the SEC Championship game. That's not how real

431
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: football works, especially when you have no margin for err.

432
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: That's not how it works. So I'm looking at this

433
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: and I see seventeen and a half right now is

434
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: the first half line. And if you'll notice the regular

435
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: line on listening's twenty eight and a half. Well, what

436
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 1: Vegas is doing is they're not going to allow repeat

437
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: of last year where folks just killed them betting Bama

438
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: first half because they knew a fast start was coming.

439
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: I still think Bama first half here is worth something,

440
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: so much so that I may look at it Saturday morning.

441
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to lay the hook above seventeen. I

442
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: want seventeen or less. But the model thinks Bama's role

443
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: in LSU. They think Bama by I think thirty three.

444
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: So we're taking Bama to win, even at twenty eight

445
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: and a half, we're taking Bama to cover. I still

446
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of residue, even from two years ago.

447
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: And it's funny that this is not a program, this

448
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: Alabama program. Historically, they are not a program that thrives

449
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: on that disrespect and fuel for motivation being you know,

450
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: you doing something to them. The one exception, not that

451
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: they needed it, but the one exception has been the

452
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: way LSU carried themselves and they're building two years ago.

453
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: I was there, I was in I was one wall

454
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: away from edwors Ron when he was being filmed secretly

455
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: in the LSU locker room. I was on the field

456
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: with him before that, so I experienced all that. Now.

457
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: What I didn't know is I didn't know that everyone

458
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: was going to be able to experience it because someone was,

459
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: you know, live streaming in the LSU locker room. So

460
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: I knew what was happening in there. But I hear

461
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: that stuff a lot. That's standard procedure when you're on

462
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: the road and you win a game like that, go crazy.

463
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't care what you do. You earn the right

464
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: you won the game. But it got out and ed

465
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: or Zaran said some things that he has not been

466
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: able to back up since then. And this is AD's

467
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: last trip to Tuscaloosa. And you know, we've had Nick

468
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: Saban on the show a couple of times, and so

469
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: he's a friend of the program. I think we're ready

470
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 1: to say it. And one thing about Nick Saban is

471
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: if he can reach into your chest and pull your

472
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: heart out and hold it above his team while the

473
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: blood trickles down and that is your last experience against

474
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: the University of Alabama. He'll do it, and they're going

475
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: to do it Saturday. I do believe. Moving on, Georgia

476
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: Tech plays Miami Saturday. I want to put a bright

477
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: red emergency light on this game because I think it

478
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: is a huge upset alert game that no one's talking about.

479
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: As I say, hey that Miami Hurricane fans think I'm

480
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: crazy because Miami has been playing really good football. Tyler

481
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: Van Dyke is the answer at quarterback. I've seen it, guys,

482
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: I've been following up. We've been talking about Miami. Here's

483
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: the problem. I do this about one or two times

484
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: a year. I did it last year and we nailed it.

485
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, this is one of those games.

486
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: I've got a bad feeling about turnovers. I got a

487
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: bad feeling. And here's where it usually happens. It's usually

488
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: a very specialized situation where a backup quarterback gets hot,

489
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: like Tyler Van Dyke is right now, and then you

490
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: start getting further and further into the backups tenure and

491
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: there's a game that comes up where I mean, you're

492
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: feeling great, if you're Miami. Right now, you're looking at

493
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech and your mouth's watering because you think, not

494
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: only do we get to go back home and warm

495
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: weather instead of playing in Pittsburgh in late October, we

496
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: got Georgia Tech. They are beleaguered, They're coming in here,

497
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: so we'll be able to run it up a little

498
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: bit on them. And what happens is you get a

499
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: little loose, and you put the ball in a few

500
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: too many places it shouldn't be, and you get a

501
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: couple of balls that otherwise would have been tucked away

502
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: and run for you get them batted at the line

503
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and they fall into enemy hands. I've got

504
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: a feeling that Georgia Tech is going to be allowed

505
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: to hang around in this game a lot more. Number one,

506
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: because I think turnovers could be an issue. We never

507
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: predict turnovers. I do it like once or twice a year.

508
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: Think Miami is going to be minus and turnovers on Saturday.

509
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: That's one. Number two Miami when you've watched them, even

510
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: in this run, I really think Georgia Tech will be

511
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: able to run the ball enough on Miami to where

512
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: if you combine that, if I take that and I

513
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: combine it with turnover problems. Think they'll be able to

514
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: hang in the game, because I mean, I think george

515
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: really in the air. I think Georgia Tech in the

516
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: air will be able to make enough plays here, not

517
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: overwhelm them, but make enough plays in the air here

518
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: to where I think they're going to hang. The model

519
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: by the slimmest of Margins does have Miami winning the game.

520
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: But Georgia Tech's one of our best bets of the week.

521
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: So we're taking the Jackets. Plus nine and a half

522
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: is what we got it at right now. How it's

523
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: at ten and a half, so hey, if you can

524
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: get that, by all means take it. No, we did

525
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: get ten and a half, that's right. I thought he

526
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: had dropped to nine and a half, so we got

527
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: ten and a half earlier in the week. We like

528
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: Miami to win closer maybe than the experts. Thing. Moving on,

529
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: Tennessee Director Collins nervous about this game. Nervous, And I

530
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: can tell you Tennessee folks have been ready for this

531
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: one for a little while. Tennessee's at Kentucky, Kentucky opened

532
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: as a favorite. It's right at pick right now, e

533
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Kentucky just lost. Okay, so people are a little bit

534
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: off that blue bandwagon. Kentucky goes to Mississippi State and

535
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: they lose. They had bad turnover issues in their own right.

536
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: And so I remember men talking to some people around

537
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: the Tennessee program. Look, they knew when they were coming

538
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: out of that old miss game and they had to

539
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: go to Tuscaloosa and play Alabama. I mean, they didn't

540
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: have any grand illusions about going in there and pulling

541
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: the upset of the century. It would have been nice,

542
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: but they were looking at getting to the bye week,

543
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: getting healthy. In this Kentucky game, That's what Tennessee folks

544
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: have been ready for, because this is one that's to

545
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: do a lot more to tell them where they're at

546
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: than playing Georgia or play in Alabama. And so here

547
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: we go. On the surface, there's a lot to like

548
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: about Tennessee. Here. I was gonna pick Tennessee. I mean

549
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: I was really ready to pick Tennessee. A lot of

550
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: you were, apparently, because this line's moved all the way

551
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: down to pick from Kentucky minus like two. But the

552
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: more I get into it a little bit, I'm not

553
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: so sure I love the matchup for Tennessee. I'm looking

554
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: and the reason why I've watched Kentucky lose a couple

555
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: of games. Number one has been cause of turnovers. They've

556
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: won some games in spite of turnovers, to be honest

557
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: with you, but they've had teams that could stall them

558
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: on the ground. Now I don't know that Tennessee's equipped

559
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: to do that. So if Kentucky a rectifies turnovers, which

560
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: should be an emphasis in every sense of the word

561
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: this week because what happened last week, and B they

562
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: have more success on the ground, which they should against Tennessee,

563
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: And C it's going to be like fifteen degrees not quiet,

564
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be really cold they get back home.

565
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a more Kentucky dictate the terms kind

566
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: of game back and forth. Don't think it blow out

567
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: either way, Certainly don't think it's blowout. I think Kentucky's

568
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna end up winning the game here. As much as

569
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: I wanted to be on Tennessee coming out of that

570
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: buy and finishing strong, I actually think Kentucky's gonna win

571
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: the game. We're gonna make it one of our best

572
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: bets later in the show. We're gonna add it to

573
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: the Rominnudle Express. I'm not particularly happy to say it,

574
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: because this is one where the model is telling me

575
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: something I'm not crazy about hearing. Kentucky folks already think

576
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: I hate him, so why not lean into it at

577
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: this point? But I don't trust me. I don't and

578
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: we themed the entire set blue and see I'm picking

579
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: you to win the game. How about Baylor at TCU?

580
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: Very important game. Here, A lot rides on where we

581
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: will be a week from Saturday. Based on the outcome

582
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: of this game. Baylor is favored by six and a

583
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: half to seven depending on where you look. They're on

584
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: the road at TCU. TCU has lost five of the

585
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: last six. Team's a mess. They just fired Gary Patterson,

586
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: so he's out the door. Everything's against TCU. And yet

587
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: that line with top fifteen Baylor is under a touchdown.

588
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: And so what do we make of this? Well, you

589
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: got Oklahoma next week. That's what I'm talking about when

590
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: I say a lot rides on where we'll be because

591
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: I'd love to be at McLain Stadium next week for

592
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma at Baylor, and that'd be the biggest matchup of

593
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: the week next week. But here's the problem. I think

594
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people at Baylor are aware of that too,

595
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: and they got a hurdle right here. And it does

596
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: not ever tell you what to expect when a coach

597
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: is fired. Everyone thinks coach is fired, program in disarray,

598
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: it's an automatic play against. How's that working out for

599
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: you with Washington State? Like Rolovich was gone and the

600
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: Washington State covers and everyone's I can't believe this. Football

601
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: players know how to play the game by this point

602
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: the season. They don't need a guy to tell them.

603
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: All right now, now I'm gonna put you in. I'm

604
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: gonna put your at receiver. So what I want you

605
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: to do is when they snap that ball, I want

606
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: you to run as fast as you can until you

607
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: get fifteen yards downfield and they want you to turn in.

608
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna throw the ball to you. No one needs

609
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: to be taught that at this point. So a head coach,

610
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: they're making some in game decisions. But they got Jerry

611
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: Kilm at TCU. He's been a head coach, so it's

612
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: not like it's a massive downgrade over a four quarter

613
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: sample size. TCU could win this game. The model loves TCU.

614
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: The model thinks TCU's got upset outright potential. I'm not

615
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: going that far because I love the way Dave A.

616
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: Randa is able to manage his team Baylor, I think

617
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: now and moving forward, as long as he's there. I

618
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to be a team of extreme

619
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: highs and extreme lows. I think they mirror his personality,

620
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: and so I think they'll be able to go in there,

621
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: and I do expect them to be able to win

622
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: the game. I don't think it's going to be without

623
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: sweat and maybe some fingernails chewed to the Nubs late,

624
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: but I do like Baylor to win. I don't really

625
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: have any opinions strongly one way or the other on

626
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: the spread. There two other games that we're not going

627
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: to break down. I just want you to keep an

628
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: eye on him. Oregon's going to Washington and also Michigan

629
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: State's going to Purdue, and these are games where you've

630
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: got top ten teams. Michigan State is favored by three

631
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: at Purdue, Oregon's favored by seven at Washington. I'm just

632
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: telling you, like, these are games that they're not on

633
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: your radar until they are, and all of a sudden,

634
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: your buddy text you and it's midway through the third

635
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: quarter and it's tied, and you're saying, when are they

636
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: gonna pull away? And they don't, because really, neither of

637
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: these offenses probably is built. If they're in one of

638
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: those we call them slog fests. If they're in a

639
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: slog fest, they're not gonna pull away. I mean, there's

640
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: a reason why these numbers are as low as they are.

641
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: Pay attention to Michigan State Saturday. They got Ohio State

642
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: the week after. I mean, they got Ohio State two

643
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: weeks after. They see it on the horizon, they see

644
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: it coming. None of these games are a gimme. Michigan

645
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: State can win every one of them, but none of

646
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: them is a gimme. And Oregon, likewise, that offense has

647
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: not been built and not been able to just pull

648
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: away from inferior teams out there. That's how the likes

649
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: of Stanford end up coming up and biting you. So

650
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: just keep an eye Michigan State, Oregon. There are a

651
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: lot of teams this Saturday that are highly ranked but

652
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: not highly favored. And that's a recipe for upste city there.

653
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: You see Oregon schedule there, Oregon, listen, they still got

654
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: to go to Utah on the twentieth, may have to

655
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: play him again for all I know, in the PAC

656
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: twelve Championship game. I mean that's not easy. Now. Oregon

657
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: still got some tasks ahead of them, and there's one

658
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: obviously this Saturday. Now listen Oregon, you guys. I hope

659
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: you do well athletically, because it's been well established this week.

660
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: You'll never measure up academically. Shame because if there's one

661
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: thing that we watch for on Saturdays, it's the GPA.

662
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: That's all I'm watching for. If you win the football game, whatever,

663
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: I want to see you at the academic to cathalon

664
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: on a Monday morning. That's what I want to see.

665
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: That's why we love this sport so much. Not the

666
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: best of weeks for Jimmy Lake. Let's move on. Jimmy

667
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: Lake is the head coach at Washington. I don't think

668
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: he's going anywhere right now. Some Washington fans would suggest otherwise,

669
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: But here we go, Colin, here's the real endpoint the

670
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: coaching carousel. Yep, it's already time to start talking about

671
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: that kind of alliteration. Even though it's early November. We've

672
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: already seen multiple moves get made. It's already been a

673
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: fast start. I'll grant you that we've got USC open,

674
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: we've got LSU open, we got TCU now open. But

675
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: there are major eyes in the coaching industry on the

676
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: states of Texas and Florida. And the reason is because

677
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: as fast as the start has already been to the

678
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: coaching carousel, it could get really crazy. I mean, it

679
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: could get really, really wild. It could go from just

680
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: garden variety crazy to kind of earth tilting crazy. So

681
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: here's what's happening inside the industry. No one knows what's

682
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: going on at Florida. No one has a good gauge

683
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: on it. The best thinking is that Dan mullen is

684
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: certainly not at risk of being fired tomorrow or anything

685
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: like that. But it feels very weird Florida. The situation

686
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: feels very off, and the right things can be said,

687
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: but you know, if you're close to that program, or

688
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: if you're far away and you're observing it, it doesn't

689
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: feel right at Florida. Now, what you have that we

690
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: cannot know that's in play here is we cannot know

691
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: where Dan mullen head is really at. You know, for instance,

692
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: Dan Mullen is the kind of guy where it wouldn't

693
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: be the biggest shock in the world if at the

694
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: end of the year he were to say I'm gonna

695
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: go try something else at the pro level. I don't

696
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: know anything about that. I'm not speaking first handedly. I'm

697
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: telling you you can't fully know where his head and

698
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: heart is. Secondly, you also don't know what would happen

699
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: if disaster strikes. Example, Florida plays South Carolina Saturday. South

700
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: Carolina's off a bye, they're at home, got a night

701
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 1: game there, I believe, and Florida's coming in there as

702
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: like a seventeen or eighteen point favorite. What happens if

703
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: Florida loses the game? It's what I'm asking you, because

704
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: right now, if they win out, they can go eight

705
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: and four. They could be nine and four with a

706
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: Bowl game win, and they should win every game remaining

707
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: on their schedule. But what if they don't. You know,

708
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: what if disaster, what if the worst or beyond worst

709
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: case starts to unfold. Because I can tell you if

710
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: Florida loses Saturday, it's probably a pretty good indication. It's

711
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: because the locker room's no longer there. The team's no

712
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: longer there, and Dan Mullen has lost critical assets of

713
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: his team. And at that point, we've seen it happen

714
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: before where you go from saying so and so is

715
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: safe to over the span of four quarters and then

716
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: subsequently the Monday and Tuesday after that, you just feel

717
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: it goes so sour so quick that you have no alternative.

718
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: So I can see here and tell you right now, Oh,

719
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: I think Dan Mullen's safe, but I can also tell

720
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: you that could change. And I can tell you also

721
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people in the coaching industry

722
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: and the agent industry that are watching that job. So

723
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: you got Florida there. How about Manny d As at

724
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: Miami though, that's been one that's most interesting because there

725
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: are two very clearly differing schools of thought right now.

726
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: One of them has been many d As. It's a

727
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: foregone conclusion. If he loses another game, he's going to

728
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: be out. Well, that talk happened, and it preceded Miami

729
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: winning back to back games. They won against NC State

730
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: by a point, then they go to pitt they pull

731
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: the four point up set last week and it kind

732
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: of subsided a little bit. Thought Manny Tovarro had a

733
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: really interesting column with The Athletic this week. It was

734
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago go. We hadn't spoken about

735
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: it on this show yet, but he talked about how

736
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: there is a feeling around the Miami program that, barring

737
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: just total disaster, Manny Diaz is safe this year and

738
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: maybe beyond. That wasn't my biggest takeaway, and that's not

739
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: why a lot of eyes are focused on Miami. A

740
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: lot of eyes are focused on Miami because of something

741
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: else that was said in that article. Again it was

742
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: Manny Navarro. It's over on the Athletic. He quoted people

743
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: inside the Miami program as saying, if we do make

744
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: a move, if we had to hire a coach, finances

745
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: would not be an issue. That is where the differing

746
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: schools of thought come into play. There is a camp

747
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: out there, and they're not just you know, whistling past

748
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: a graveyard or anything like that. They've got reason to

749
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: believe this that can't believes Miami talks a lot and

750
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: they got a lot of bluster, but they will not

751
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: write the check when the time comes. They're not that

752
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: serious about football, and their track record for a long

753
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: period of time now has established it that's one school

754
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: of thought. You can very well understand why someone would

755
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: think that. But then there's the other school of thought.

756
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: The other school of thought is when Donna Shalala was

757
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: in charge down there, her kind of mode of operation was,

758
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: we will only put into athletics what athletics brings us.

759
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: We are not dipping into the university coffers in order

760
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: to fund athletics. Well, that's where the many Navarro article

761
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: comes into play. That's why there's a lot of interest

762
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: in the coaching industry. A lot of coaches have looked

763
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: and said, Miami is not really a great job anymore.

764
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: But Manny Navarro wrote the other day, the thinking now

765
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: around Miami is money won't be an issue because they're

766
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: willing to dip into their health fund down there, and

767
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: that think generates nine figures per year, and if we're

768
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 1: willing to dip into that, then all of a sudden,

769
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: money really isn't an issue if you're serious about it.

770
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: See Miami's talked before. Are they serious about it? The

771
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: thinking in the industry is number one, if Diaz is

772
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: let go, and number two, if they're serious about that,

773
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Miami becomes an infinitely more attractive

774
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: place to land. So keep an eye on that because

775
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: those are two coaches still in place that people are

776
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: watching closely because if one or either of those jobs opens,

777
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: that's a big ripple effect throughout the industry. TCU's open

778
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: right now, TCU is viewed as very underrated in the

779
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: coaching industry. There is a unique combination of things that

780
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: maybe you've thought about before, maybe you haven't. Number one,

781
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: it's a really good place to live. Okay, it's situated

782
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: in Fort Worth, so that's just a good place to live, period.

783
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: But number two, they're in the Big twelve. Texas is

784
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: about to leave. Ou is about to leave. There are

785
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: some people who think that's going to be the best

786
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: job in the Big twelve once those two exit. The

787
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: third is you're going to get a really good salary there,

788
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: You'll have the ability to hire a pretty good staff,

789
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: and you don't have to deal with the kind of

790
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: elevated expectation level that exists at some of these traditional

791
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: powerhouse Power five programs. There is a lot going for

792
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: that TCU job. And also in the state of Texas.

793
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: Now here's where it could get wild. You got Texas

794
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: Tech already open, you got TCU already open, and you've got,

795
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: for instance, Trailer over at UTSA who just got a

796
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: new ten year deal. Doesn't really matter a whole lot.

797
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: He's still in play for these jobs. Sunny Dyke's at

798
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: SMU is in play for these jobs, and so obviously

799
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: stands to reason if either of them take either of

800
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: these jobs, then you got other Texas jobs that just

801
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: came open by default. So there's this big round robin

802
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: that well it's not a round robin. There's this big

803
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: ripple effect and chain reaction, if you will, and the

804
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: coaching carousel just in the state of Texas. There's a

805
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: good article on twenty four to seven sports dot com

806
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: about just the state of Texas right now. I'll tell

807
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: you a name that I heard today that I was

808
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of asking around and reading around, and a couple

809
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: of people have floated Billy Napier, head coach at Louisiana

810
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: right now for the TCU job. Obviously, that would be

811
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: contingent on whether or not he got a look at LSU.

812
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: If he gets the LSU offer, he's going to LSU.

813
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: But if he didn't, is Billy Napier content with just

814
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: staying at Louisiana or would he take the TCU job.

815
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. That would be

816
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: I think a little more intriguing an offer and an

817
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: option on the table for him than you think, given

818
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: the programs that he has turned down in the past.

819
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: What about LSU. Where's LSU right now? I think a

820
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: lot of the legwork has been done behind the scenes.

821
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: I think, Scott Woodward, the ad there has a clear

822
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: number one. There are many people who believe that is

823
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher, and even though Jimbo has turned him down.

824
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman the other day was reporting that, Eh, I

825
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: know what Jimbo said, Scott Woodward, there's some people around

826
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: LSU who believe you're gonna have to tell him to

827
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: his face. You're gonna have to get a no out

828
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: of Jimbo Fisher to my face. Maybe Jimbo still do it.

829
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, Jimbo tells you no,

830
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: it will not just be no. It'll be no, and

831
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: then it'll be four pages of text after that that

832
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: come out of it. Jimbo Fisher could not use a

833
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: one word sentence. There's no way that one word sentence

834
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: could ever come out of his mouth. He's just not

835
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: programmed that way. He's gonna tell you no, he's gonna

836
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: tell you why, and he's gonna give you three other

837
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: just kind of porting arguments for why. But if they

838
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: don't get Jimbo Fisher, now I don't think they will

839
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: for the record, so let me state that. But if

840
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: they don't, I think there's a list of candidates there,

841
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: and I think some of them have been floated around.

842
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: I still believe that there are some candidates whose names

843
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: have not even been spoken that could be in the

844
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: LSU search. But I do think that they are pretty

845
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: far down the road, even though it doesn't feel like

846
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: anything's happening. I think a lot of the legwork has

847
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: been done to the point where I think you've just

848
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: got your list and you start going down the list.

849
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: I think Scott Woodward knows what every one of them

850
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: would want. I think they've already worked that out internally,

851
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: and at that point it's just going to be a

852
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: person A, here's your offer, we got turned down. Person B,

853
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: here's your offer. That's where they are. USC. I do

854
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: not think is at that point USC. I think it's

855
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: miles behind LSU, not just in terms of the attractiveness

856
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: of the job. I do think LSU's better job the

857
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: better job, but I also think USC is behind LSU

858
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: in terms of the legwork that they've done. At ALSU,

859
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: there's one dude driving the bus right now. At USC,

860
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: there are several folks with their hands on the steering wheel.

861
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: And I still think when it comes to that process,

862
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: I still think they're deciding what they want and who

863
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: they want, what those characteristics are, which in and of

864
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: itself is not the best thing to be saying several

865
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: weeks into a coaching search. But the more people you

866
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: get involved, obviously, the more messy it could get. Here's

867
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: what's ridiculous. Okay. I had one person telling me when

868
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: I asked about James Franklin, well, you know, yeah, Franklin

869
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: was high on their list, but now he's lost a

870
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: couple of games. Let me tell you something. This is

871
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: probably common sense. If you have coached for over a

872
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: decade and my opinion is still changing on you game

873
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: to game. I'm the one without a clue, not you.

874
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: You are who you are. I'm the one without a clue.

875
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm the one with no business in deciding whether I'm

876
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: going to hire you or not if over a decade

877
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: into your career, I'm still changing my opinion on you

878
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: over each individual four quarter set of football. That can't

879
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: be what's happening there. I hope that's not what's happening there,

880
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: because a good USC is good for me, as I

881
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: hope that's not what's happening there. But that's just some

882
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: of the stuff that we're following here. And that's why

883
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: when we have a weekend coming up, like we have

884
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: this weekend, just to go back to that Florida game,

885
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: you may look at Florida at South Carolina and say

886
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't really care much about that game. You should?

887
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: You should, because what if there is disaster in that

888
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: game that were to lead ultimately to action being taken

889
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: on Dan Mullen that leads to Florida hiring a new

890
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: coach that either comes from your program, or that new

891
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: coach takes a coordinator and an assistant coach from your program,

892
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: takes a couple of recruits from your program. These are

893
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: keystone programs. What happens there, what happens at Florida, what

894
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: happens at LSU, what happens at USC. It has a

895
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: ripple effect that can somewhat impact the entire profession, the

896
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: entire industry, and the entire sport. So keep an eye

897
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: on that, because this is that time of year. We're

898
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: going to be talking about that a lot. All Right,

899
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: it's time for Ramnudle Express and we're going to get

900
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: out of here. We've already started two and zero on

901
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: the week. We got Eastern Michigan in the bag already

902
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: plus nine. They won outright. We had Central Michigan plus

903
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: nine and a half in the bag. They won outright.

904
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: So here are the eight remaining games so far. I

905
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: may add more no prisoners this weekend. Kansas State minus

906
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: twenty three and a half at Kansas we already posted

907
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: that one. USC plus eight and a half. We're already

908
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: on Georgia Tech plus ten and a half. East Carolina

909
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: minus fifteen and a half. Here are the new best

910
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: bets that have just been released today. Stanford plus eight

911
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: and a half at home against Utah. Penn State we

912
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: finally got it under ten. Penn State minus nine and

913
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: a half at Maryland. We are not worried about the letdown.

914
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: We like the matchup. We think the number is too low.

915
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: Penn State minus nine and a half. We are taking

916
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: Kentucky at pick at home against Tennessee Kentucky, just take
