1
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Memo told me a long time ago, a playoff built

2
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: on lives Josuate is not a playoff or participating it.

3
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: So enough enough we can't anticipate it. List And so

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with people so super perfect they

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: got perfect. I got flaws. One of my flaws is

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm just too truthful. And so on tonight's show, I'm

7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: gonna have some allegations thrown at me. I know it's coming,

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: Jesse and Colin, but don't try and stop me. I

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: know some allegations are gonna be thrown my way because

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: of my honesty on tonight's show. But if the worst

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: I am is honest, can you really get that mad

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: at me? Somehow? This all has to do with college football.

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: We're live as live can be Sunday night, November seventeenth,

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: theear of our lower twenty twenty four jam packed high

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: top a very crane filled downtown Nashville, every street corner construction.

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: We are pre brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors.

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: And George is back just up from the grave, Undertaker style.

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: And so that happened last night. We were in person

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: there on the sideline in Athens Georgia. To see that.

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: Got plenty of thoughts on that, got plenty of thoughts

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: on Oregon, Oregon. Are they shaken? Are they fine? What's

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: going on there? Well, if you watch the show last Thursday,

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: you already had a heads up that was coming. College

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: football playoff chaos is inevitable at this point, so don't

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: try and dodge it. You know it's coming. I know

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: it's coming. Everyone knows it's coming. Immunity. We got to

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: figure out what makes sense and what doesn't, what's right

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: and what's wrong. Who should be in this and who

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in this? You don't have to wait until

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: selection Sunday. I've got several thoughts on that tonight. Actually,

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: the AP polls out. Some of it's okay, some of

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: it not so okay. There are some teams that try

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: as they may to bump them up high enough, They're

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: still underrated. They're still very underrated. Alexandria, Virginia is tuned

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: in tonight. Commerce Georgia is tuned in San Clemente, California,

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: in Dallas, Texas. Thank you guys so much. Hey, if

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: you weren't following on Instagram yesterday, I don't know that

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: I brought you more plentiful behind the scenes coverage than

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: I did over the weekend when we were down at

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Georgia at Late Kick, Josh, you got to make sure

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: you're following over there. We got some really really good

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: stuff yesterday, and I will announce later in the show

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: where I'm headed this weekend. A lot of consternation out there.

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: No one knows yet, no one. We haven't even told

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: the university yet. Well, the head coach of the university knows.

46
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: But other than that, the university itself does not even

47
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: know that we are headed their way. And I put

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: it out there today. I let some folks guess, and

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: not many people guessed, right. So the whole New Saturday

50
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: tour will reveal the week thirteen destination in just a

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: little while. But in the meantime, let's you and I

52
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: do what we always do on a Sunday night. Let's

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: pop open an ice cold ZBA. What flavor are we

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: going with tonight, you might ask, Well, we're going with

55
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: black cherry, which is not exactly a Sunday tradition yet,

56
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: although I think I've gone with it like three Sundays

57
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: in a row. I'm going to probably drink that whole thing.

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: Tonight Georgia thirty one, Tennessee seventeen. So Georgia wins and

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: covers after all, hunh. I would give this game, I'd

60
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: say about three and a half challi on the one

61
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: to five scale. Good game, great game if you're Georgia.

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: We were on the sidelines for this one. Hey. By

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know necessarily who would be or

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: hoops would be in charge of this down there game

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: day operations. Hat tip. I've been to Georgia games before

66
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: they have upped their game. I'm gonna leave it at that.

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into the particulars of comparing

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: one's home field atmosphere versus the others. They're all pretty

69
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: good to really good. Georgia's up their game, so I

70
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: got to give them credit for that. Tennessee was up

71
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: ten to nothing in this game, and I thought that

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: they were well on their way to winning it. I

73
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: gotta be real with you. I was standing there. I

74
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: was talking to someone who shall not be named, and

75
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: hopefully that person maintains their confidence as well. And I

76
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: said to that person when Tennessee got up ten oh,

77
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I said, you know, this reminds me of last week.

78
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: What did I mean by that? Well, last week we

79
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: had been down in Baton Rouge and we had seen

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Alabama go into a rocous Tiger stadium death valley at night,

81
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: you know the thing, and they shut them up pretty quick,

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: and LSU never recovered. They never answered. Well, Tennessee gets

83
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: up ten to nothing and Tennessee comes in there. Now,

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: you gotta just remember how we frame this up. They're

85
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: thinking they've got the advantage defensively. Tennessee's thinking they can

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,559
Speaker 1: run the ball better than Georgia. Tennessee's thinking, when Nico

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: cleared to go, we've got the better quarterback in this game,

88
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: and unlike two years ago, we can physically impose our will.

89
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: They thought these things, but that's why you played the games,

90
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: to test your theories out. And then they get up

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: ten to nothing, and I forget about Tennessee. I was

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: thinking George's in trouble. I thought they were. I assume

93
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: most of you thought they were. And then they go

94
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: on I guess a thirty one to seven run to

95
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: end the game. I can't do anything but clap. I

96
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: can't do anything other th that this is not this

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: is not a Georgia team. That's been flawless by any stretch.

98
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: This is a Georgia team that frankly wants their down

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: ten to nothing. You have reason to doubt. I know

100
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: during the commercial break I talked to a couple of

101
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: you who were in the stands. You had reasons to doubt.

102
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: It was a lot of the uh oh, here we

103
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: go again. It was a lot of that vibe. And

104
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: then Georgia did what Georgia does, because what is the

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: one rule we have learned about the elite programs. Maybe

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: the version of the team they put on the field

107
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: every year is not elite, or maybe it is, but

108
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: you've got to cut the head off the snake. That's

109
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: what you gotta do to the big boys. Bama was

110
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: like that under Sabing Kirby's. Georgia is like that. They

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: won't win the title every year, but man to get

112
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: rid of them, you gotta make sure you just bring

113
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: the shovel down boom. It's got to be a clean

114
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: You gotta cut the head off the snake, because if

115
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: you think you killed it, it's not dead. And so Georgia,

116
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: a lot of folks stop. Maybe old miss delivered the

117
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: death blow, or are they out of this, and then

118
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: they're down ten oh, and it's like, oh, Tennessee's got

119
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: them on skates. And then they bit you. They bid

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: a lot of us. They bid a lot of us.

121
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: Because I was foolish enough too. I was on the

122
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: Tennessee side at the time. I was foolish enough to

123
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: sort of stand there with my arms crossed, and I

124
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: was just scanning Georgia's sideline. It's not like they're gonna

125
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: fold up shop or anything. It's a really really high

126
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: level competitive program. But I was looking and I was

127
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: just asking myself, I wonder what they're thinking over there. Well,

128
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: what they were thinking was we're at work, let's continue

129
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: to fight, and if we fight long enough, we're good

130
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: enough and we'll win. And they did. I got a

131
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: padlock stat for you. Eleven to one. Is the padlock

132
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: stat sounds like a baseball score. Well it's not that,

133
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: but on pass plays of fifteen plus yards, Georgia beat

134
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee eleven to one. That is your ball game. You

135
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: know how they did it. They did it with oft maligned,

136
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: turnover prone Carson Back. This was this is the first

137
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: time this year Tennessee has faced a legit pro style

138
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: passing game. I don't think a lot of folks realize that.

139
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: I'll give our buddies' college football nerds credit because I

140
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: heard them say that they're right about that. And you

141
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: know who else knew that. Georgia knew that I was

142
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: in the building Friday talked to several of their staffers.

143
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: They knew. Here's what else they knew. While they may

144
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: have thought there were plays to be made against that

145
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee secondary, and while they may have thought Tennessee hasn't

146
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: necessarily faced the ideal opponent to maybe expose those weaknesses,

147
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: Carson Beck's got a step up, or else we won't

148
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: be that team either. Carson Beck stepped up. That's really

149
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: the headline of the game. Carson Beck stepped up twenty

150
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: five of forty three forty seven three total touchdowns. It's

151
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: the kind of play that you expected from him. It's

152
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: the kind of play I expected from him since the

153
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. He did it without much of

154
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: a ground game around him. I think they were three

155
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: and a half about three point four yards per carry,

156
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: and they're just so eat to death at tailback and

157
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: really on the offensive line as well. You just you

158
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: don't see it because you don't have access to the headsets,

159
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: and you're not there on Tuesday or Wednesday. You're not

160
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: in their staff meetings. We don't even get to sit

161
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: on the outer perimeter of the staff meetings. But that

162
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: staff has been drugged through the mud this year, not

163
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: by the national people, not by the regional people, by

164
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: the local people, by the fan base itself. And I

165
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: have thought that a lot of it's valid. You established

166
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: the culture, you established the standard that you have at Georgia,

167
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: and then you don't meet it continually, your folks are

168
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: going to get mad at you. So there's been a

169
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: lot of criticism thrown out. Some of it's been stupid,

170
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: some of it I think it's been dead on the money.

171
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: So nevertheless, they heard it. And then you just throw

172
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: in the you just throw in the headphones and you

173
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: just keep plugging away. And last night was a prime

174
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: example I thought of that offensive staff in particular, just

175
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: continuing to grind, continuing to evaluate, and continuing to say,

176
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: all right, we didn't do this, this, tried this, that

177
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: didn't work. Look what are we gonna try next? Well,

178
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: they went back to what has worked for a long

179
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: time for Georgia football and that's the tight end position,

180
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: and that group combined had ten catches for one hundred

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: and thirty yards of two touchdowns. Now you can look

182
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: at that, just like you can look at Carson Beck's

183
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: performance last night, and you could say good for them.

184
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: It's also fair to say, why haven't we done this

185
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: a lot sooner? Or in Beck's case, why hasn't that

186
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: consistently been his level of play this year? I got

187
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: a million different answers for you. None of them would

188
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: be totally right. I don't even think that coaching staff

189
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: could give you an answer that's totally right. Point is,

190
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: with everything bad that's happened to them up until the

191
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: point last night where this game kicked off, and up

192
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: until the point last night where they were down ten

193
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: to oh, they were still in it. So with all that,

194
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: all that mess that's happened so far this year, they

195
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: were still in it. And so eventually it popped. It popped.

196
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: I have no idea what this means for the rest

197
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: of the season, but eventually it popped, and you got

198
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: what you had to get. All that planning, all that

199
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: game planning, all that preparation and recruiting, all that stuff.

200
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: It's just like purchasing ingredients and you throw them all

201
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: in there, but eventually you just you turn the stove

202
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: on and you hope what comes out is palatable. Last

203
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: night was very palatable. And also I will say this,

204
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: this is the second time this year, a Texas game

205
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: being the first and the Tennessee game last night being

206
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: the second. Of an example where Georgia's defense kind of

207
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: looked in the mirror and said, if offense gives us enough,

208
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: that's wonderful. We're going to assume we got to go

209
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: win this game, which should always be your mentality. But

210
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: some programs exhibit that more than others. Last night, they

211
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: had five sacks, they had half a dozen tackles for loss.

212
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: They held Tennessee to forty yards or less, I think

213
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: on eight drives, so most of the game after Tennessee

214
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: got themselves on the board early, they just got shut down. Man,

215
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: it was impressive to watch from field level, because you know,

216
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: George is not necessarily playing with the kind of unit

217
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: that they had twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two individually,

218
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: but that doesn't matter if collectively they turn in the

219
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: kind of performance they did last night. And I thought

220
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: that it went a long way in reminding everyone, I

221
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: guess what that program's about, which is always my favorite

222
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: thing to watch. It's my favorite thing to watch in

223
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: individual sports, like in golf. In golf, I used to

224
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: watch Tiger Woods a lot. And I'm not some golf officionado,

225
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: but you can clearly tell when Tiger Woods was on,

226
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: he was a lap in the field. But there would

227
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: be Saturdays and Sundays Tiger Woods clearly is struggling, and

228
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: yet somehow he's bubbleguming and paper clipping his way to

229
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: being in the final group on Sunday. And you're watching

230
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: him and you're saying, I know this is far from

231
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: vintage Tiger Woods, but that dude is so good that

232
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: even his B minus effort, even with all this going on,

233
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: somehow he has still cobbled together an effort that has

234
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: him in the hunt at the end. That's how I

235
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: felt watching Georgia. Now, Georgia, if they were to heal

236
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: up a little bit, what would look a whole lot

237
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: more like the previous versions of themselves. But that's not

238
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: the reality right now. So the reality is they're doing

239
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: it the best they can with what they have, and

240
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: it's far from a perfect version. But even this version

241
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: of Georgia still good enough to be in it, still

242
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: in the hunt. And I know that there are a

243
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: lot of teams ranked ahead of them right now. But

244
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: I want to remind you, guys, I'm about to talk

245
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: about Tennessee. Don't you worry, But I want to remind

246
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: you there were differing schools of thought on playoff expansion,

247
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: and there were some people who said, oh, leave it

248
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: for I was one of them. There were a lot

249
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: of other people who said, expand it to twelve, and

250
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: I was not one of those. But they won and

251
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: I lost. So we expanded to twelve. But remember one

252
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: of the points of contention was if you expanded to twelve,

253
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: what do you think you're going to get? And a

254
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: lot of the expansion crowd thought that it would open

255
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: the door for new blood, and a lot of people

256
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: like me said, no, it will not. What you're doing

257
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: is you're opening the door for someone. You are going

258
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: to give a second or third chance to someone. But

259
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: it's a whole lot more likely going to be a

260
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: flawed Georgia team or a flawed Alabama team. And lo

261
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: and behold, here we are. Whether it would be right

262
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: or wrong In the previous version of the playoff, George

263
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: is probably out of it. In this version of the Playoff,

264
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: George has got themselves a prime seat at the table.

265
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: Now it is up to your perception of how all

266
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: this is supposed to work. Whether that's a good thing

267
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: or a bad thing. But it is a thing. So

268
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: just as we as we venture into these uncharted waters

269
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: of the expanded Playoff, understand you have given new life

270
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: to programs. It's just the same pros that had already

271
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: been there and have faltered, and you've given them new life.

272
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: So I was in Athens all weekend. I would like

273
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: to deliver a message to the expansionists courtesy of Kirby

274
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: Smart and his staff. Thank you from them through me

275
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: to you. Now, as for Tennessee, I'm around a big

276
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: game every week. I'm around a lot of these programs.

277
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm around them all the time. You need to understand

278
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: it's a very, very strange vibe in major college football

279
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: when a team loses a game, because it's like being

280
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: around an environment after someone died. I'm not stressing this.

281
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: This is not hyperbolic. If you've ever been around it,

282
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. If you've been around

283
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: the locker room, if you've been around the traveling party,

284
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: if you're around the sids, Like everybody has the body

285
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: language and the temperament as if someone just passed away.

286
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: And I've been in both environments, and trust me, they're

287
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: very similar. No one's talking, no one's making eye contact

288
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: with each other, everyone's kind of looking down at the ground.

289
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: And it's the beauty of winning. And it is equally

290
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: as bad if you lose. So against that backdrop, I'm

291
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: in Hypol's postgame press conference last night. Now, all these

292
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: coaches know that you can't tell the truth about officiating

293
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: or you will get fined because you have to be

294
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: accountable for your words, even if your words are about

295
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: a group of people who will not be held publicly

296
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: accountable for their actions. In this case, I am referring

297
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: to officials. So Hypel felt like they got screwed pretty

298
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: thoroughly last night on multiple fronts in the game. It's

299
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: not the first time a coach has felt that they

300
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: got the short end of the officiating stick. It happened

301
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: multiple times across the country yesterday. But I just got

302
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: to tell you how uncomfortable intense it was in this

303
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: whole post game environment last night when number one a

304
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: program has just lost a big game, so you already

305
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: have that vibe going for you. And then Hypel is

306
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: about as sore a loser as there is in college football.

307
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: And I mean that is the ultimate compliment, because I

308
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: cannot stand being around people who lose. Well, I've always

309
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: thought it's pretty overrated. You can lose with class and dignity, yes,

310
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: but the guys who kind of seem like they're okay

311
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: or they're normal, Oh, it'll be fine when you lose.

312
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: I've never been about that. I would prefer a guy

313
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: to be an ultrasore loser. So I'm never mad at

314
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: Hypel because Hypel acts like I would act if I

315
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: just lost, very short, wants to get out of there

316
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, has no real interest in talking

317
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: to media. But then you add into that they thought

318
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: they got hosed on some calls last night. So I'm

319
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: about to have director Colin queue up a piece of video.

320
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: But I want you to imagine all of this tension.

321
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: It's already really uncomfortable. Someone's phone, I kid you, not

322
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: goes off, not once, but twice in Hypel's postgame media conference,

323
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: and the ring tone is the Georgia fight song. It

324
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: goes off once one of the Georgia staffers, and then

325
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: it goes off again, and I'm pretty sure that they

326
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: just choke slam some poor lady behind a curtain. I

327
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: didn't see how it ended. But against all that, here

328
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: is Josh Heipel in his postgame prescott control a colin.

329
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: Can you repeat that look like a helmet popped off?

330
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: Next question of why it was called? Next question? Anything

331
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: else you coach? You want to ask about the twelve

332
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: men on the field? Okay, yeah, Now to his credit,

333
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: Bill Martin, longtime friend of the program sid at Tennessee,

334
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: sees that things are probably going down a path they

335
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: don't need to go. So Bill is steadily turning the wheel,

336
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: but it's a very very muddy road, so the car

337
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: is not turning as fast as he wants too. It

338
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: was very awkward. It was very uncomfortable. That's kind of

339
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: how losing is supposed to feel. But if you're listening

340
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: on podcasts and you couldn't see what was happening, what

341
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: was happening was the local you know, the assembled media

342
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: beat there. They were asking hypel about calls that went

343
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, and he felt like they pretty blatantly were

344
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: handled the wrong way. But since he can't say anything

345
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: because he knows who'll get fined, he was just physically

346
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: taking the microphone and turning it towards the beat writers

347
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: and kind of letting them say what he thought happened

348
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: instead of him say it. So here we are. Tennessee loses,

349
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: which was expected at least based on pointspread. Tennessee loses.

350
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: Georgia wins. Got a big live crowd. Watch him. By

351
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: the way, make sure you subscribe to the channel if

352
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: you haven't already, because we do the show free. I'd

353
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: love for it to remain free forever you. Subscribing to

354
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: the channel helps secure that, and it costs you nothing.

355
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: I just asked that you do it to help us.

356
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: So this is a really, really competitive game. It's really pleasure.

357
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: It was a pleasure to be there to see it

358
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: in person, these sorts of games. I know everyone talks

359
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: about standings. I'm not an idiot. I know that a

360
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: lot of this has importance for people based on conference standings,

361
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: based on playoff standings. But sometimes I wish that more

362
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: people thought like I do, which is sometimes a dangerous thing.

363
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: But I wish more people thought like I do about

364
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: these kinds of games, because I was there last night

365
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking like half a dozen times during

366
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: the game. You look around, you know it's a big

367
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: third down, crowds at full throat. These two teams have

368
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: played each other forever. You know, it's an established rivalry

369
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: game in the most tradition and history filled portion of

370
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: the country when it comes to college football, and it

371
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: just matters because of that. You know, it doesn't need

372
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: the playoff sticker on it. It doesn't need the implications.

373
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: They're there. We all know they're there, But I don't know.

374
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: I wish sometimes these games maintained their significance because of

375
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: the signific that's been baked into the game for much

376
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: longer than the playoff has been around. Another thing to

377
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: keep in mind is that this is yet another domino

378
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: that needed to fall in this whole two loss SEC

379
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: team mess, if you want to call it that that

380
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: is rapidly approaching, and Georgia now has beaten three of

381
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: my top fifteen teams in my own power ratings. Tennessee

382
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: beat Bama a little while ago. Tennessee is a very

383
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: very good team that I still don't think has played

384
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: their best football. So they're all going to be in

385
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: this mix. Both of them have very winnable games coming up.

386
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: I expect both of them to finish with two losses.

387
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: The updated odds courtesy of FanDuel to win the SEC

388
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: Championship now Texas number one, Alabama number two. If both

389
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: of those teams went out, that's who's playing in Atlanta.

390
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: At least that's the way it looks right now. If

391
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: Texas they just have A and M left right Jesse,

392
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: isn't that the only SEC game they have left? And

393
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: then Alabama's got at Oklahoma this week, which is not

394
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: a gimmey game. They've got the Iron Bowl, which is

395
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: not a gimmey game in a year like this. But

396
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: if those teams went out, they're going to Atlanta. And

397
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: then Georgia is third at plus three hundred, and that's

398
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: pretty much it. A and M is a distant fourth,

399
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: But right now FanDuel sees it as sort of a

400
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: three team race. That leads us to another question. I'm

401
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: not going to cap this right now, but that leads

402
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: us to the other question of obviously we are likely

403
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: to see at least one two loss team in Atlanta,

404
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: perhaps a couple of two loss teams in Atlanta. Someone

405
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: may suffer their third loss in a conference championship game.

406
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: How does the playoff committee handle that. I've heard some

407
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: wildly differing theories on that. I've got my own. We'll see.

408
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Time will tell, and it could be the Texas just

409
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: rolls and renders all of that moot. But I want

410
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: to also think everybody down at Georgia they hooked us up.

411
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: It was a great week. An Scott Sinclair just turned

412
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: the weight room over to us Friday. Man, I was

413
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: in there like three hours. I don't want to leave

414
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: those places. And George's got one of the best in

415
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: the country, and so appreciate them. Leland Mark, all the

416
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: guys down there, the Trey that take care of us.

417
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: Always nice to go back to my home state, and

418
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: hadn't been there in a couple of years for a

419
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: home game, so it was really really nice. Academy Sports

420
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: and Outdoors hooked me up. I know they hook you

421
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: guys up all the time, but I am about to

422
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: tell you a little short story. I'm not making any

423
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: of it up. Unfortunately, since I was four years old,

424
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: I've tried not to pack for myself, and for a

425
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: long time my mom did it for me and that worked,

426
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: and now I still have someone else do it for me.

427
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: I really don't want to get any more specific than that,

428
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: because I'll already get made fun of for this. But

429
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: said person was not in town this weekend because she

430
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: had to go home. There was a death in the family,

431
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: and so that's serious. But the unseerious part of it

432
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: is she wasn't around and I had to pack for myself.

433
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: And I did pack two black shoes, that's the good news.

434
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: The bad news is they were different shoes. I did

435
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: get a left and right and they were both black,

436
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: but they were different shoes. And I did not realize

437
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: this until I got all the way to Athens, Georgia

438
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, and so I was at a crossroads

439
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: and I got to tell you guys, for a solid

440
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: thirty or forty minutes, I did just consider wearing the

441
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: non matching shoes because chief among my priorities is hardly

442
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: ever wardrobe. I don't know if you can tell that

443
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: or not, but it's not exactly something that I fret over.

444
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: But I decided against it because I am representing more

445
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: than just myself. I'm out there representing Colin and Jesse

446
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: and you guys, so I do have to look at

447
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: least somewhat presentable and not like a hobo, although ironically

448
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: I see them a lot when we go hot freight trains.

449
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: So I go where anyone would go. I go to

450
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors, and I made several purchases. I

451
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: met seven of you in my short time there, because

452
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure our viewers just live at Academy now.

453
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: So that is my testimonial. The Academy was there in

454
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: a pinch for me Saturday and Friday nights when I

455
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: went over there. So the Athens, Georgia Academy comes through.

456
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: But it doesn't have to be Athens. It could be

457
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: anywhere around the country. And if you can't get there

458
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: in person, Academy dot Com has you hooked up. They

459
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: are the presenting partner of this show. They make it

460
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: free of charge to you. We appreciate them. Let's continue

461
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: to roll on. The voice is still here. I'm so

462
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: proud Colin. You remember back in the day, we could

463
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: never even make it to like week five or six.

464
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: Before before it sounded like that maybe it's dis eva.

465
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even need to know. I

466
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: just want to finish strong at this point. Oregon came

467
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: close last night. Oregon sixteen to thirteen, a win over Wisconsin.

468
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: It's a conference win. I give the game a three

469
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: on the Chalai rating system there and a lot of

470
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: you to uned in. I would imagine viewership of that

471
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 1: game went up and up and up as it went on. Now,

472
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things about Oregon. I think

473
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: Oregon's the number one team in the country. But I

474
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: also fully expected this to happen last night. Oh Josh,

475
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: that's easy to say after the fact. Everyone sounds like

476
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: a genius after the fact. Well, that's why I had

477
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: director Colin prepared this helpful clip from When Thursday roll

478
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: at Colin Oregon's favored by thirteen and a half. This

479
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: is a total ambush spot. I'm concerned about it, and

480
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: I don't think many people are. You don't think Wisconsin's

481
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: very good? Okay, you think Oregon's the best team in

482
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: the country. Hey, I do too, But I have a

483
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: little concern for a team playing their eighth consecutive game,

484
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: flying across two time zones for the third time in

485
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: the last few weeks against a rested Wisconsin team whose

486
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: preseason goals are sort of out the window, which just

487
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: means you've got a good coach in Luke Fickle with

488
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: two weeks to prepare and to gear up for basically

489
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. This is their playoff game, this is

490
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: their national championship, and they've run the ball fairly well.

491
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you, if Oregon comes in there

492
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: and plays B plus or better ball, they will win. However,

493
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: what we know about college football teams, even the best ones,

494
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: is over the course of a twelve game season, sometimes

495
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: you just toss your C plus or C minus effort

496
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: out there, and it's in these kinds of spots disproportionately

497
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: where it's more likely to happen. All right, thank you, Josh.

498
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: This was a sideline special for me. It was one

499
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: of those games you experienced this all the time. It

500
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: could be a home depot special, it could be a

501
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: Burger King special. It's the kind of game where you

502
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: are somewhere where you can't be watching it, but you're

503
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: getting updates. So last night, this game was happening while

504
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: I was at the Georgia game. So they got good.

505
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: They got good service in Sanford Stadium, so I was

506
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: able to actually stream the game on the sideline. Really

507
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: incredible how far we've come as a society. But I

508
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: wasn't glued into the game because I got one happening

509
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: right in front of me, and I want to be

510
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: respectful of the whole New Saturday Tour destination. So it

511
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: was largely a game that I'm not able to watch live.

512
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: I have a horse gone and watched the replay since then,

513
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: but it was a sideline special. And when you know

514
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: that Number one is on the ropes, even if you've

515
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: expected them to struggle, like me, there's a voice in

516
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: the back of your head as you're looking at them

517
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: Trail thirteen to six, and you're saying, they'll pull it out.

518
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: It's ugly, but they'll pull it out. And then they

519
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: do and you don't know how it happened, but you

520
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: just see, Okay, good they won. Duh, they won. And

521
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: you have not gone on the emotional roller coaster that

522
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: the live viewing audience went on. So I know a

523
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: lot of you, especially once you saw Blood in the Water,

524
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: you tuned into this game and you went through that

525
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: second half and there was really a period of time.

526
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: I went back and washed it. I know exactly what

527
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: that period of time was where it looked like Oregon

528
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: was about to lose this game, and then you have

529
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 1: the whole situation where it looks like it's over, then

530
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: it's not over in the fourth quarter, then it's over.

531
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: And I remember watching several of those games in my life,

532
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: and you guys watched one last night, and so we

533
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: have different thoughts on it. Okay, So I went back

534
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: and watched the game, and my thoughts on this are

535
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: this was Oregon sort of yeah, we can win Big

536
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: ten games in a Big ten matter sort of statement,

537
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: because Oregon's won some games in the Big Ten this

538
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: year playing their brand of ball, but their brand of

539
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: ball was not there. They left it at home. Oregon

540
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: was me. I got to Athens a couple of days ago,

541
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: realized I didn't pack my shoes. Oregon got to Madison,

542
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and realized, yeah, we're not going to really be

543
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: able to score a whole lot. We can't play the

544
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: style of football we've played. Also, we're really beat up

545
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: and because of the external dynamics that were in play,

546
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: like I just detailed in that video that we played

547
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: from four or five days ago. They pulled the pen,

548
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: they tossed the grenade and it was a dud. And

549
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: that is a little shocking because the grenade's gone off

550
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: for Oregon all year long and it didn't. And then

551
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: what do you do well when the grenade doesn't go off.

552
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: You don't have any other weapons. You roll up your

553
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: sleeves and it's hand to handk and Oregon had to

554
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: go hand in hand combat with Wisconsin. Oregon's better than Wisconsin.

555
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: Even on the road, they're better than Wisconsin. They beat Wisconsin,

556
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: they should beat Wisconsin. But in the aggregate, what they

557
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: learned is, huh, so we can win. Even if we

558
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: have to do that, we can win. Because all of

559
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: that sounds like a blueprint for Wisconsin to pull that

560
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: game out. And there's a I think a pretty big

561
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: misconception about games like this, especially teams like Oregon. There's

562
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: a misconception in college football in general, and that is,

563
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: if a team's really good, a pretty good effort will

564
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: still be enough. And you're thinking, if our quarterback isn't

565
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: quite as accurate, if our tailbacks don't quite make as

566
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: good reads as they normally do, if our offensive line

567
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: doesn't quite identify the mic the right way and get

568
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: into sets and pass pro the right way, but they

569
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: still do an okay job. If the receivers square in

570
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: the route at eleven y instead of twelve and a

571
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: half or thirteen, it'll still be okay. But that's not

572
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: the way it actually works. The way it works is

573
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: you could go from flying sky high one hundred miles

574
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: an hour, so the crowbar goes in the spokes and

575
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: you grind to a halt. That's what Wisconsin was able

576
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: to do to Oregon yesterday. And that's why when you

577
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: hear these guys preach attention to detail, timing precision, it's

578
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: cause they know it doesn't have to go off the

579
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: tracks entirely for the train to start slowing down. There

580
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: can be the least little grain of sand in the engine,

581
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: and things can get really discombobulated really quickly. And then

582
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: you're on the road. You're in a foreign environment, none

583
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: of your guys have ever been there before, and you're

584
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: out in the you're out in the deep end, and

585
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: you're a little fatigued, and it's tough to keep your

586
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: head above water. They did it. Tess Johnson not available

587
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: tell you how important the portal is, especially if you

588
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: use it the right way. You've still got the character

589
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: and competitive attitude in your building that you developed through

590
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: high school recruiting. But then you got guys like Evan

591
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: Stewart who who are not homegrown. You brought them in

592
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: from the portal. Ten catches ninety two yards last night

593
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: may have been the difference in the game for him.

594
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: Oregon's got about the best talent acquisition profile in the country.

595
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: They do it the way that I would hope that

596
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: I could do it if I ran a program. Majority

597
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: of my guys are going to come through high school,

598
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: but I'm going and getting guys like that if I can.

599
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: It's what I wish Dabbo would do it Clemson, because

600
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: I think you can do it effectively and maintain your

601
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: principles and values. Here's the good news. The good news

602
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: is Oregon got through it. Your eighth game in a row.

603
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: They're rested off of bye You got to go to

604
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: their building. It was tough, but you got through that.

605
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: Now you go into your bye week, and Oregon's got

606
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: a really weird situation here because they go into their

607
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: bye and then they got one game and then the

608
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: conference title game. Here's the good news. I promised good news.

609
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 1: Well that two pits of good news for Oregon. Here.

610
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: The first bit of good news is you're in your

611
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: bye week now and you got one game, and then

612
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: you're going to go to Indianapolis to play They probably

613
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State will see but let's just say it's Oregon

614
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: versus Ohio State in Indianapolis. You will catch them on

615
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: the absolute flip side of the dynamic that you just

616
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: went through last night, because you will be coming off

617
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: a bye one game then to Indy. Ohio State will

618
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: be playing their seventh consecutive game if they play in

619
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship game, and their previous two games

620
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 1: will be physical fights against Indiana and Michigan. So as

621
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: bad as that felt last night, shee may be on

622
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: the other foot if you play Ohio State. But here's

623
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 1: the other part of this that some of you may

624
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: find interesting. Ohio State is still the favorite to win

625
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. And I'm pretty confident in telling you

626
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State, if they do face Oregon will be a

627
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: point spread favorite on that neutral field in Indianapolis. That

628
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything other than that's what the line on

629
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: the game will be. You take that and do whatever

630
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: you want to with it. You can bet it, you

631
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: can joke about it, you can trash it. If you

632
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: trash it, I would suggest that you bet it. Otherwise

633
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: your words don't mean a whole lot. So there you go,

634
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: There you go. The whole New Saturday Tour has been

635
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,239
Speaker 1: fueled by Quick Trip all year long. Yesterday, though, got

636
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: to give the folks at Georgia credit. Yesterday. I think

637
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: it's the first stadium we've been to all year where

638
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: there was Quick Trip signage in the stadium because Quick

639
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: Trip is an ad partner with the University of Georgia.

640
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: I can't prove that's why they won last night. You

641
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: can't prove that's not why they won last night. We

642
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: were able to help, ironically, an Oregon fan go cross

643
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: country again to make it not only to the Michigan

644
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: game he made it there early in the year, but

645
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: now to the Wisconsin game. They said, hey, we'll do

646
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: the cross country thing again if Quick Trip will give

647
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: us free gas. So quick Trip stepped up gave them

648
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: free gas. Bada bing bada boom. Appreciate them and they've

649
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: been fueling our whole New Saturday tour. We went to Athens.

650
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: I got back at five o'clock this morning. You think, oh,

651
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee touches the state of Georgia. That's an easy trip,

652
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: one of the hardest trips we make cause it's drive.

653
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: But it's a four and a half hour drive with

654
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 1: traffic not factored in and a night game last night.

655
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I

656
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: just want you to feel a little bit sorry for me.

657
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: But it'll be different this week. There are several games

658
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: on the radar this week. Of course, we've got Army

659
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Ole, Miss Florida is interesting. We've got of

660
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: course Indiana, Ohio State and the drum roll builds in

661
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: suspense in the background. Okay, well, where are we going?

662
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: Well the answer is none of them, because the whole

663
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: New Saturday tour is headed to Tempe, Arizona for Brigham

664
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: Young versus Arizona State. Why because I've never been there

665
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: before and sorry, I had a nose itch And also

666
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: I'll give you the other the other whine. Kenny Dillingham's

667
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: a big friend of the show. That's part two. Part

668
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: three is I checked the forecast earlier today. You know

669
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna snow in Columbus, Ohio this week. Meanwhile, Saturday

670
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: in Tempe, Arizona, it will be seventy seven degrees not

671
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: a cloud within six hundred square miles of Sun Devil Stadium,

672
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: and at one thirty in the afternoon for that local kickoff.

673
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: There's nowhere else I'd rather be. I may come back

674
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: mildly sunburned. It's a great thing. I want summer to

675
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: extend into November as long as it possibly can, and

676
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: the best way we can do that is by going

677
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: to Arizona State. And not only that, I'm told, I'm

678
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: told just through the grape mind we may do our

679
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Thursday show from out there. So that's the hot rumor

680
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: floating around. So there you go. We're headed to Arizona

681
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: State for the first time ever, first time that we

682
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: have been to Arizona State. Let's continue some interesting games

683
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: here to talk about. Still, I got to take another

684
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: sip of this. The black cherry has really grown on me.

685
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: And I'm not really a black cherry guy, although I

686
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: guess I am now called ZeVA kind of nailed it

687
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: zero sugar black cherry. I know who whom stood of

688
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: unk it. But here we are South Carolina beat Missouri

689
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: in a four and a half Chili Classic yesterday. Thirty

690
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: four to thirty was the final score. So I'm at

691
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: the Georgia game and this game's ending as that one's

692
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: about to begin, and I'm up the tunnel. I'm in

693
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: the media the field media suite, and you've got the

694
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: countdown to kickoff clock that's on the wall, just like

695
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: it would be playing on the scoreboard. And then next

696
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: to that, you've got a TV show in South Carolina, Missouri.

697
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: So initially South Carolina is up like twenty one to six.

698
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: I say, of course they're gonna pull away with it.

699
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 1: Then I go, you know, get food. I look back

700
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: and Missouri's got the lead. That's got to be a typo. No,

701
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: it's not. Missouri's got the lead. And then South Carolina

702
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: comes back and they end up winning this game. Just

703
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: an instant classic, back and forth. There were four touchdowns

704
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: in the final ten minutes. There were two in the

705
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: final seventy seconds. If you're not watching these South Carolina games,

706
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: you are missing out. I don't care if you root

707
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: for them. I don't care if you live in Alberta, Canada,

708
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: watch South Carolina. They're a rapidly emerging team. They're a

709
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: dynamic team. They got good pass rush. Leonora Sellers is

710
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: not going to be he is a star in college

711
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: football now at the quarterback position. But just watch them.

712
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: It's one of the most fun coaching staffs to watch.

713
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,959
Speaker 1: Even though Shane Beemer credited Kublick and gave the JP

714
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: poll nothing publicly today, I know it was an omission,

715
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: not born out of hate. I know it was just

716
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: the way things are. And he is apologized already today

717
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: and I've accepted the apology. He knows that we'll ride

718
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: for him. October has extended well beyond October. And here's

719
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: South Carolina, lo and behold in conversations that many of

720
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: you never thought they'd be in. I want you to

721
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: tell yourself what I'm about to tell you. But pretend

722
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: it's Saturday morning. Okay, Pretend that you look at the

723
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: point spread. South Carolina's favored by Missouri is coming in

724
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: and we don't think they're a good road team, and

725
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: South Carolina's surging, So this is Carolina's game, right, Okay.

726
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: Some dude tells you that. Then some other dude walks

727
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: up to you and says, pregame paper pop. South Carolina

728
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: will have two turnovers on downs inside the Missouri thirty five.

729
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: That's not ideal. And then they tell you Missouri's gonna

730
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: outrush South Carolina too, And then they're gonna tell you

731
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: Luther Burden the Oise. They're gonna have fourteen combined receptions.

732
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, Brady Cook's going to start

733
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: from Missouri. Didn't think that during the week, but Cook

734
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: warms up, He's able to go. And so Missouri's got

735
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. Obviously, the receivers are gonna go off.

736
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball well. South Carolina's gonna burn

737
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: two opportunities and plus territory. What I'm thinking at that

738
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: point is, forget about the point spread. Carolina's going down.

739
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: And they didn't. And they didn't, and they didn't because Leonoris.

740
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: I know that sentence doesn't make sense chrammatically, but it

741
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: does if you watch the game. They didn't go down

742
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 1: because Leonora's sellars. He had nearly four hundred total yards,

743
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: five passing touchdowns. You are watching a star emerge in

744
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: real time. South Carolina has finally got the quarterback they've

745
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: been waiting on, and they knew it two years ago,

746
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: and they didn't rush it, and they developed him the

747
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: right way, and now he has stepped up multiple times

748
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: in big games. He's got them playing about as good

749
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: a football as almost any other team in the country

750
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: right now. They lost games earlier in the season. Had

751
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: they lost one fewer games, South Carolina is in the

752
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: thick of the playoff race right now. Like, if you're

753
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: not watching them, you're less likely to believe that the

754
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: folks who are watching their games you know good and well.

755
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: Whether they belong in a playoff conversation or not is

756
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: independent of the next point. If they were in the

757
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: playoff conversation, they'd be a nightmare to play. So it's

758
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: their fifth win over team in my top forty five,

759
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: for whatever power ratings are worth. If they win against

760
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: Clemson in a couple of weeks, that would be six

761
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: wins against teams that I have power rated top forty five.

762
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: There's not playoff talk. That's fine. Not everything has to

763
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: be about the playoff. So if you don't think that

764
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: a three loss team will get in or will ever

765
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: get in, that's ok. You're probably right. You're probably right.

766
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: They probably do to have no shot. I'm not so

767
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: much worried about that. I am looking at the caliber

768
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: ball they're playing right now. I don't think there are

769
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: twelve teams playing better football right now than South Carolina.

770
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you that should be the criteria for

771
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: the playoff. Forget about the playoff. I'm just telling you

772
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: let's focus on South Carolina for a second and just

773
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: give them credit. Also, I have a scenario for you.

774
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: I put this out on Twitter earlier. Let me go

775
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: get the results right quick, because I have been fighting

776
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: some of you on this. So let's just float the scenario. Okay,

777
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: we're at seventy thirty. Oh, I cannot believe this. The

778
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: poll feature is both the best and worst thing that

779
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: Elon has ever done on here. So let's just say,

780
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: for the sake of argument, let's say you face the

781
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: number twenty four team in the country. Okay, and you win.

782
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: You beat the team that's ranked number twenty four. Then

783
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: the next poll comes out and the team's not ranked anymore.

784
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: Did you get a ranked win? I'm giving you time

785
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: to think about it. You play number twenty four, you

786
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: beat number twenty four, then they cease to be ranked

787
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: because you beat them. Did you get a ranked win?

788
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: I posed that earlier. Today, only seventy percent of you

789
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: said yes. Thirty percent of you whose opinions I respect,

790
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: even though I vehemently disagree with it. Right now, thirty

791
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: percent of you have said Nope. If there's not a

792
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: number next to their name, even if you're responsible for

793
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: beating them and removing the number, it doesn't count as

794
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: a rank whim What what if Jesse will go back

795
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: to the scenario of Jesse fighting a child. If Jesse

796
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: fights a ten year old and the ten year old

797
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: beats Jesse until Jesse's just no more, I mean, the

798
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: ten year old should get credit for what he did

799
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: to Jesse. And then I come along and say that

800
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: doesn't count. Look, he's not even breathing. You didn't even

801
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: you didn't even fight someone who's alive. The ten year

802
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: old goes, I'm the reason he's dead man, and the

803
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: ten year old would be right. Sucks for Jesse, but

804
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: the ten year old would be right well. In the

805
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: same vein, if you were ranked and then I beat you,

806
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: and the immediate aftermath is you're no longer ranked. I

807
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: beat a ranked team, I'm getting credit for that ranked whin?

808
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: Then people try if we got twenty two thousand votes

809
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 1: on this. By the way, I did this an hour ago.

810
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: Then people tried to attach all sorts of other things

811
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: onto it. They said, oh, so, I guess you're saying

812
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: this is always fun. By the way, so I guess

813
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: you're saying that Georgia Tech should have a ranked win

814
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: because FSU tenth when they beat him in week one. Sir, Actually, no,

815
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything more than I said. I gave

816
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: you a scenario, and I said exactly what I said

817
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: in the scenario, and nothing further. I didn't say about

818
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything about what happens in subsequent weeks.

819
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: I just said, in the here and now, is that

820
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: a ranked win or not? And a solid thirty percent

821
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: of you said Nope, not a ranked win. And I

822
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: think you and I could still go to lunch together,

823
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: but we'd have to really limit the sorts of things

824
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: we talk about, because I'm convinced this kind of logic

825
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: spills over into other areas of life and it gets messy.

826
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: It gets really messy. So I'll say another thing that

827
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: will be controversial, but that's okay. I've thought Missouri is

828
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: one of the more overrated teams in the country. For

829
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: a while, the AP had had them floating in the

830
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: top twenty five. The I think the Playoff Committee had

831
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: him floating in the top twenty five. I've had him

832
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: in the forties, so power rating wise, I have not

833
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: had Missouri up there, but that means while the AP's

834
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: dropping them because of a performance like this, I thought

835
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: Missouri played their best game of the year. I upgrade

836
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: to Missouri in my own numbers after this game. It

837
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: was their best game of the season to me. They

838
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: happened to lose, but the effort they gave I thought

839
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: was the best game of the season. I think I

840
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: upgraded them several spots. Now, the follow up is you

841
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: have to remain bought in. They go to Mississippi State

842
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: and they got Arkansas. That's the one guarantee you can

843
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: never have. Once you get later in the season, you

844
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: lose your third game. Remember, this was a team that

845
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: was thought to be a contender in the SEC and

846
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: they had by far the most workable path, and they've

847
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: fallen short. I think it's safe to say they've underachieved.

848
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: I think it's very safe to say that, well, they

849
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: stay bought in. That's the great unknown that's a case

850
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: by case basis. South Carolina, though, Man, they're bought in,

851
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: they are surging, they're playing their best football at the

852
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: right time, and I think there's a lot of attention

853
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,959
Speaker 1: right now, rightfully. So that's on a couple of weeks

854
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: from now when Texas goes to Texas A and M.

855
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: But I will tell you the game that could steal

856
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: the show that day is South Carolina at Clemson. I

857
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: don't even know what the kickoff times are. I don't

858
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: know that they've announced that yet. But if we were

859
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: in a situation where we can only go to one

860
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: game and we had to choose against each other, I'd

861
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: probably just give you your first pick and I'll take

862
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: whatever's left over, because there's no losing choice that day.

863
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 1: They're watching us in lats in South Carolina. They're watching

864
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: us in Flagstaff, Arizona, and Belvidere, Ohio. Belvidere, Ohio is

865
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 1: in a movie, maybe Silence of the Lambs. Belvidere, Ohio, Belvidere,

866
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: West Virginia. This is not the time for me to

867
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: have a stream of consciousness. Okay, let's continue. When we're

868
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:47,479
Speaker 1: sip of black cherry ZeVA. If you will. I thought

869
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: that we should maybe wait till the end of the

870
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: show to talk about this, but I don't think so.

871
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: I think it's time to talk about it now because

872
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: you can tell in all these game not game previews,

873
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: but in all these game recaps, it's sort of spilling

874
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: out anyway. So why not? All right, just let's broach

875
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: this college football playoff chaos is not theoretical anymore. It

876
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: is coming. It's on the horizon. You can see it

877
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: as sure as you can see the skyline of Nashville

878
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: when you're coming up twenty four driving back from Athens

879
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: last night. It's going to be here. The only question

880
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: is how chaotic will it be, who'll be involved, who'll

881
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: be victimized? But it's coming. It's unavoidable. Now. I want

882
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: to say something. I'm going to say this once, and

883
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let it be. I didn't want this. You

884
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: all who have followed the show a long time, you

885
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: know I didn't want it. I was very happy with

886
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 1: college football remaining the way it had been, because even

887
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: with the way it had been, I've never defined the

888
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: value of this sport, nor the games in the sport,

889
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: by how much playoff significance was riding on them. I've

890
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: just loved the games because they're the games. I love

891
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: Fall Saturdays because they're fall Saturdays. I never even needed

892
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: a national championship game. Now many of you will disagree

893
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: with this, which is fair. I'm in the vast minority here.

894
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: I'd be okay if we just play conference championship games

895
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: and that was it. I don't even need it. I

896
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: don't even need a national championship because it's not like

897
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: pro sports to me. But most of you disagree. So

898
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: we have it the way we have it. But I

899
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: want you to remember one thing because it's very important

900
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: for the context of where we're about to go over

901
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. You'll remember when the twelve team

902
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: playoff announcement came. I didn't fight it. I fought it

903
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: up until that point, but once it became official that

904
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: we were going that direction, I made a promise on

905
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,479
Speaker 1: the show. Many of you will remember this, and I said,

906
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: you will not have to listen to me relitigate this.

907
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: I'll not do that, I told you. So it is

908
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: what it is. We're headed where we're headed. Most of

909
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: you wanted this. I didn't get my way, but the

910
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: majority got their way, that's fine. But then what I

911
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: said was I will not have one toe in the

912
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: water with this new format I'm diving in. And so

913
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily want to move into this neighborhood. But

914
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: since you guys made me move into this nameihborhood, I

915
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 1: want to have the best house in the neighborhood. I

916
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: didn't want to go down this road, but since you're

917
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: making me go down this road, I'm going to go

918
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: faster than anyone. So I'm going to be at the forefront.

919
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: And so I'm all in. I'm fully embracing it, even

920
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: though I didn't want to be here. And that means

921
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: being honest, and that means being truthful about what's happening.

922
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: The SEC is the best conference in this sport by

923
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: a wide margin. This year, there are probably no elite

924
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: teams in the SEC, which has fooled some people into

925
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: thinking the league is down. Now what you have is

926
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: you have no teams in what we would classically define

927
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: as Tier one. You got over half a dozen of

928
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: them in what we would define as Tier two. It's

929
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: a very very deep and competitively balanced league this year

930
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: at the top of it, and then you've got your

931
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: usual also rans, But you've got insane depth in the

932
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: league this year. I've watched all of these teams in person.

933
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: I've gone across the country this year. I've seen the

934
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 1: other leagues. There is nothing common to what's being played

935
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: week in and week out in the SEC right now.

936
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: You cannot tell the truth about this without being accused

937
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: of SEC bias or SEC homrism, to which I respond,

938
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: how would you fairly stack teams right now in a

939
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: merit based ranking system and not have it loaded with

940
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: SEC teams? And it always devolves into this abstract nonsense

941
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: and name calling, And hardly anyone ever gives you a

942
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: logic based, tangible response because you can't because your eyeballs

943
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: and the basic data and even just common sense will

944
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: not allow you to refute the simple point that they're

945
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: way more really good SEC teams than there are collectively

946
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: teams from other conferences this year. That doesn't mean one

947
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 1: of them is going to win the title or anything

948
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: like that. Maybe they will, maybe two of them will

949
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: play for the title. I don't even care how it ends.

950
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: But when we're talking about seeding the playoff, we're going

951
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: to have a mess on our hands because we only

952
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: got two regular season games left with these teams. And

953
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: so you know, South Carolina right now is the seventh

954
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: best team in the SEC, they'd probably go win the

955
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. So there's a very dishonest conversation going on

956
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: right now. One of the dishonest labels is the label

957
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: of power four. P four is the label that you

958
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: put on the SEC, the Big Ten, the ACC, and

959
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. And we are supposed to continue to

960
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: pretend like the same caliber football is being played, and

961
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: a win is a win and a loss is a loss.

962
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: In ten and two here is equal to ten and

963
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: two there, And it's not it's not at all. I

964
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 1: had one of my close, dear friends tell me earlier

965
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: today the SEC and the Big twelve look very similar. No,

966
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: they don't. There is a grand Canyon's difference in the

967
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: caliber of football being played in these two conferences. And

968
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: they said, well, Josh, look at the top. It's really

969
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: really muddy and competitively balanced at the top. That's not

970
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: the same thing, man. That's like where I grew up,

971
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: there's a dirt track called East Alabama Motor Speedway. That's

972
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: like saying East Alabama Motor Speedways kind of like the

973
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: Daytona five hundred. Well, there are cars that go in

974
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: circles there. That's about the long and short of comparing

975
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: East Alabama Motor Speedway to the Daytona five hundred. The

976
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: caliber of ball being played in the SEC this year

977
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: is light years different then the collective caliber of football

978
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: being played in the Big twelve. Ten and two in

979
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: the SEC is not equal to ten and two there.

980
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: The conference champ from this league is not equal to

981
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: the conference champ in that league. There are people who

982
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: don't like that that will argue against it, but they're

983
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: not arguing against the sound logic of it. They're just

984
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: arguing that they don't like that's the way it is.

985
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: And guess what, I don't either. I don't either. I

986
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: never wanted to go here. I never wanted playoff expansion.

987
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: I never wrote a conference realignment. I never wanted the

988
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: death of the PAC twelve, so much so that I

989
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: used to wear a name tag that said PAC twelve paate.

990
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: I didn't want any of it, but it happened against

991
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: my will. So what I said was, since this is

992
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: the way it's going to be, I'm not gonna lie

993
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: about this stuff. It was very easy to see when

994
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: the SEC added Texas and OU and then the Big

995
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: Ten made the moves they made that the caliber of

996
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: football they were going to play was going to be

997
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: much different in quality than the caliber of football the

998
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: other conferences played. That's exactly how it's played out. I

999
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: think the Big ten's a little down this year, but

1000
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: I think in future years the Big Ten will be

1001
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: talked about just like the SEC is being talked about

1002
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: right now, and it'll be them and it'll be everyone else.

1003
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: So this coming month is going to determine to a

1004
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: large degree how the future looks. To remind you, we

1005
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: have a twelve team playoff this year. We have a

1006
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: twelve team playoff next year. After that, nothing is decided whatsoever.

1007
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: There are looking clauses. There's the ability for these conferences

1008
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: to drastically alter this thing if they want to. My

1009
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: theory on all this is the SEC wants to blow

1010
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: it up. My theory is they are waiting. They're almost

1011
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: daring that committee to leave one of their teams out

1012
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: in lieu of an other team from another conference, so

1013
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: that they can reasonably say, you know what, we did

1014
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: things the way you wanted to. One of our member

1015
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: institutions got screwed. We are so much better, We are

1016
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,240
Speaker 1: so much deeper. We're so much more committed and invested

1017
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: than the rest of you. We recruit better than you.

1018
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,959
Speaker 1: We pump out more NFL draft picks by a mile

1019
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: than any of you. We've got a higher caliber product.

1020
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: It's not being respected by the committee. We're gone. We're

1021
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 1: going to go do our own thing. It's my theory.

1022
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: The SEC wants to do that, and they are looking

1023
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: for a reason. They are trying to reverse engineer their

1024
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: excuse to leave and do what they wanted to do

1025
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: all along. And it may be given to them because

1026
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks from now, we'll be sitting there

1027
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: after Conference Championship Saturday, and it will be Selection Sunday,

1028
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: and at high noon Eastern you'll hear Rhys Davis and

1029
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: that panel there on ESPN. They'll seed that bracket and

1030
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: you'll have ward Manual, the playoff Committee chair come on

1031
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 1: and give the reasons why or why not a fifth

1032
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: SEC team was included, and how they measured the SEC

1033
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 1: teams against the other teams. And it's going to be

1034
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: a problem. It's going to be a problem. I just

1035
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: want to pose a scenario for you in a couple

1036
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: of minutes that could explain how muddy this could get.

1037
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: Indiana's going to be a problem. Indiana plays Ohio State

1038
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 1: this weekend. It's my opinion that if Indiana loses that game,

1039
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be included in the playoff, the final playoff,

1040
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 1: the twelve team playoff. And the reason is because it's

1041
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 1: not their fault. Their schedule is so soft this year.

1042
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: But it's not anyone else's fault either. Indiana is one

1043
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 1: of very few teams that would ever find themselves in

1044
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: this situation. Being from the Big Ten. Your conference schedule

1045
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: will normally take care of any of this. It just

1046
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: so happens. Indiana's conference schedule is not good this year.

1047
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: And here's how not good it is. If they lose

1048
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: this Saturday, and they are a double digit underdog at

1049
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State. If they lose, they will have their best

1050
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 1: win will be against Michigan, and they will have played

1051
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: the bottom six teams in the Big Ten. Their out

1052
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: of conference schedule will consist of FIU, Western Illinois and Charlotte.

1053
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: There's no meat on the bump, there is no resume there.

1054
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: You get your shot. It's almost like the way we

1055
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: used to talk about Boise in the vintage Power five

1056
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: G five days, these G five teams that everyone thought

1057
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: was good, but they had a garbage schedule relative to

1058
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: the big boys that have like one power team on there,

1059
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: and everyone understood, Okay, they've got to really perform well

1060
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: against this one power team and that's their only shot.

1061
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: Indiana should never be in that situation, but because the

1062
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: Big Tens league schedule has let them down this year,

1063
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: they're in that situation. So that's not their fault, but

1064
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: it's not my fault either. If Indiana is eleven and one,

1065
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: let's say they lose close Saturday. If they're eleven and one,

1066
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: there are differing opinions out there. I think the committee's

1067
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna leave them out in the cold, but not everyone

1068
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 1: agrees with that. A lot of people think there'll still

1069
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: be room at the table for Indiana. If there's room

1070
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 1: at the table for Indiana, I am telling you, mark

1071
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 1: my words. If Indiana gets in over a fifth SEC

1072
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: team and the reason is well, Indiana's got one fewer

1073
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: loss than that SEC team, all hell will break loose.

1074
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: And in that particular scenario, I wouldn't even blame the SEC.

1075
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: But in an overarching scenario, it's gonna break loose somewhere

1076
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: for some reason, and it remains to be seen how

1077
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: I'll fall on that based on what it is. But

1078
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: a few of these games, just look at these games.

1079
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: Notre Dame plays usc at the end of the year,

1080
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: they play Army this week. They got two losable games left.

1081
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: Those are gonna be door openers because right now Notre

1082
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: Dame's comfortably in this thing. They probably have a home

1083
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: playoff game if they win out. If they lose another game,

1084
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: they are out. You are also going to have those

1085
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: sec folks in that league office that watch no Notre

1086
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: Dame have the freedom to lose to Northern Illinois at

1087
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 1: home and not have to expose themselves to a conference

1088
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 1: title game, and they just cruise right on end there.

1089
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: And they're going to have a problem with that if

1090
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: a one loss Notre Dame takes one of their spots,

1091
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: why because the Notre Dame's only got one loss. Now,

1092
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is going to fire right back and say, hey,

1093
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: you see this game at the beginning of the year,

1094
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: we went into one of your places in one and

1095
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: to me, that'll be the nail in the coffin cause

1096
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: they're not wrong about that. Notre Dame's got a valid

1097
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: argument there. Southern or South Carolina at Clemson is going

1098
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: to be another one. I don't think that South Carolina's

1099
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: argument has much oxygen. But if there is going to

1100
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: be some three loss team out there that has an argument,

1101
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: it will be them. And if they go into Clemson

1102
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: and win, that'll be Jesse. I think we counted it

1103
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: up in our own internal numbers. That'll be half a

1104
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: dozen wins over top forty five teams and a few

1105
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: of them over top twenty five teams. But the other

1106
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: thing to remember was South Carolina one of their losses

1107
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: by two Alabama. Another loss was when Sellers went down

1108
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: in the LSU game and they still almost won, and

1109
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: officiating was very shaky there, Like they're only they're only

1110
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: loss loss. Now that doesn't make sense. They're all losses,

1111
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,919
Speaker 1: but they're only definitive loss, they're emphatic loss. Was ole miss.

1112
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: South Carolina's gonna sit there and they're gonna make a

1113
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: bunch of good arguments about the strength of schedule, and

1114
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna make good a bunch of good arguments by saying, well,

1115
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: if we exposed so and so and so to our schedule,

1116
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: what would they have done? All that is hypothetical and

1117
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: it's useless, but it still is emotion based and it

1118
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: will be thrown around. But what is South Carolina's final

1119
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: act is a thirty four to ten win at Clemson

1120
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: and they closed the season just red hot. You know

1121
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: what's gonna be said. And lastly, and this is the

1122
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: game that's most important, Texas at Texas, A and M. Okay, So,

1123
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 1: right now Texas has the inside track. Texas is still

1124
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: the slight favorite when the SEC. Texas is that team

1125
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: in the SEC with the softer schedule. They've got one loss.

1126
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: Their final regular season game will be on the road

1127
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: in Kyle Field. It'll be an environment of the year.

1128
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: If Texas goes in there and loses, they may very

1129
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: well do that. If they go in there and lose

1130
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: and the rest of these games play out as we

1131
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: think they will over the next two weeks, the SEC

1132
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,439
Speaker 1: will be sitting there at the finish line with half

1133
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: a dozen two lost teams the tiebreakers at that point,

1134
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know how it would work. I know

1135
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,479
Speaker 1: Bama would be in against somebody A and M. Maybe

1136
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: I think is the way that would work. But nevertheless,

1137
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: think about that playoff picture. Those are six deserving teams

1138
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: based on your own criteria, based on the way you

1139
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: built the structure. Those are six deserving SEC teams. It

1140
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: will not matter to them if they get five of

1141
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: six in. It will not matter if they get four

1142
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: or five in. They will focus on the one that

1143
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: gets left out. It'll be what everyone talks about. They'll

1144
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 1: probably have some ballid arguments, and if you don't fulfill

1145
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: their wish, they will immediately start to take action to

1146
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: find their own way of doing things. That is how

1147
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: this works. I don't like it. I never wanted to

1148
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: go down this road, but we're here now, and I

1149
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: think you're being a little dishonest if you don't acknowledge

1150
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: that's probably the way that's going to go. I appreciate

01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Let's continue to move on. I told you guys the

1157
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: other day something I told not a story, but I

1158
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: gave you a detail on the show, Jesse. It turns

1159
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: out people thought I was kidding about the paid fifty thing.

1160
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I went to management, I said I

1161
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: want a discount for our people, and he said okay,

1162
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: and then they worked it out. So signing day's coming up,

1163
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: the transfer portals about to open, coaching carousel seasons coming up.

1164
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: This is the time of year a lot of people

1165
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: get subscriptions to twenty four to seven sports dot com

1166
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: because when you get a subscription, you get access to

1167
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: all the team sites, all the VIP stuff, not just

1168
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: one site. And so whatever it costs, enter promo code

1169
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: paate fifty when you're checking out, and it shaves it

1170
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: down more than fifty percent. No catch, that's it. I

1171
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,919
Speaker 1: just worked that out for you guys. But I said

1172
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: that on the show the other night. I guess because

1173
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: I was joking about it, people thought it was a joke.

1174
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: I was joking about it. It is not a joke.

1175
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: Try me paid fifty at checkout. All right, let's get

1176
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: back to these games. Florida, Florida did it? Florida. Hello,

1177
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: Florida's got a pulse, a big pull. Florida's sitting up

1178
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: Florida's running out of the hospital bed twenty seven to sixteen.

1179
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: They beat LSU. I give this game three chali on

1180
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 1: the one to five scale. I said three weeks ago,

1181
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: when I put the JP poll out and I have

1182
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: Florida in it, I said, oh, this is going to

1183
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: be controversial, cause people know Florida's lost a lot of games.

1184
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: And I was of the opinion and the mob back

1185
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: to me up that Florida with DJ Lagway is a

1186
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: much different caliber team and they are. Then as soon

1187
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: as I put Florida in the top twenty, Lagway gets

1188
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: hurt and he doesn't play against Texas, and everyone refused

1189
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: to be honest about what it was. They're just a

1190
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: dead team on arrival. In that game without Lagway, they

1191
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 1: get smoked. Well, now Lagway's back for last night's game

1192
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: and Florida did what they should do with him, and

1193
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: that's when at home. I'm gonna give you a hidden

1194
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: padlock stat because there's a lot of stuff that's in

1195
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: your face about this game. Hidden padlockstat average starting field position,

1196
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: because Florida was eighteen yards better on average. Florida started

1197
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: on average at their own thirty eight LSU at their

1198
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: own twenty and it was a big play game. Because

1199
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: the box score will lie to you. It will lie

1200
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: to you about this game. Big plays are what matter,

1201
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: not the box score. Florida set themselves up with big plays.

1202
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: They scored touchdowns when they needed to. It was a

1203
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 1: swamp special. I don't know that they've trademarked that I

1204
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: will breed Katie Turner. Whoever's listening down there, let's trade

1205
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: swamp special sounds like a skinnered song. I don't know

1206
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly has that memorized. He seemed to have the

1207
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarter song memorized down there. A big petty fan

1208
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: that Brian Kelly maybe just petty in general. Who knows.

1209
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: I kid because I care. I got a lot of

1210
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: validation out of this game. I didn't have rooting interest,

1211
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: but I had a validating feeling coming out of this game.

1212
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Because you'll remember, we went down there in spring, had

1213
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Napier on the show. We hung out down there for

1214
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: a day, and I came back and I was very

1215
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: adamant that I love the makeup of the program. I

1216
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: was adamant that they're doing things the same way that

1217
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: George and Alabama do them. It's just that the wins

1218
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: haven't followed yet they got great people in the building. Well,

1219
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: what I was trying to say by that is they

1220
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: are wired the right way. Well, if I was wrong

1221
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: about that, this team would have checked out a long

1222
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: time ago. Frankly, I think a lot of people are

1223
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: stunned that Florida is still playing at the level they're

1224
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: playing and everyone's still bought in at the level they are.

1225
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: But it's because humbly, I was right with what I

1226
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: told you I saw in the spring. Not a lot

1227
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: of people get to see behind the curtain like we

1228
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: did some places. It's not like that Florida. It's like

1229
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: that their record hasn't been good. There have been points

1230
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: this year they've been terrible, but they're still checked in.

1231
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: You take that for granted. You don't until you see

1232
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: a team that's checked out. It happens more and more

1233
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: in college football. So you've got to give blame where

1234
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: it's due, And there's been a lot of blame to

1235
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: go around this year down there, But you got to

1236
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: give credit as well. They're still fighting as hard as

1237
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: any team in the country, and now with one more win,

1238
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: they're Bowl eligible. They got Old Miss coming in there

1239
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: this weekend. That could be really fun. But I'll tell

1240
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: you what else is fun. Look at how many lies

1241
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: are in this box score. Florida won the game by

1242
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: double digits, and yet they ran forty three plays. LSU

1243
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: ran ninety two. LSU had more total yardage, rushing yardage,

1244
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: passing yards LSU, and yards after catch one sixty five

1245
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 1: to fifty five advantage. They had twelve more first downs

1246
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: than Florida. Big plays, big Place, which leads me to

1247
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: my next point, and that is I do the show solo,

1248
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: but sometimes I'll bring in a guest and she wheels

1249
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: her piano in here, and she is here again. Tonight

1250
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: we got a little deeper in the show than usual.

1251
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: Some of you in the chat thought I had forgotten.

1252
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: How could I forget the Sarah McLaughlin special, And it

1253
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: falls once again on the head of LSU. Do you

1254
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: know LSU last night struggled finishing drives. If you need proof,

1255
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 1: they went on a thirteen play, six minute forty five

1256
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: second drive missed field goal, fifteen plays, seven minute forty

1257
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: four second drive field goal, fifteen play, eight minute forty

1258
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: second drive field goal. They had three drives last night.

1259
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm bind forty three plays twenty two minutes and twenty

1260
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: nine seconds of game clock, more than Florida had the

1261
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: whole game. They totaled six points in those three drives.

1262
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: LSU could not finish a drive to save their life

1263
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: last night, and because they couldn't finish last night, LSU

1264
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: kind of is finished now as a team for this year.

1265
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: I hate to do it, but everyone who watched this

1266
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: game knows that's reality. LSU is a team in transition

1267
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: right now. LSU there is definite reason to be optimistic

1268
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: about the future of this program. I'm not selling LSU stock.

1269
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything like that. I know there's a

1270
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: lot floating around about how discombobulated or not the program is. Internally.

1271
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: They don't know. Folks don't know. I'll keep my mouth

1272
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: shut on a lot of things. Folks don't know. I've

1273
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: seen a lot of the stuff circulating today. They don't know.

1274
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: They don't know. We're live. I have to be care.

1275
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: Like any program, LSU have some warts. The ones who

1276
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: win all the time still have warts. The ones who

1277
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: lose probably have more warts. LSU is no different than

1278
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: any other program. They have some warts internally. Normally, what

1279
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: I've observed with LSU is the stuff that people talk

1280
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: about on the internet doesn't come close to nailing what

1281
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: the real warts are and the ones they think exist

1282
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: are largely imagined. And I think it's still the case.

1283
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: So they got the right people in the building. He

1284
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: hired the right folks defensively or wherever that process win.

1285
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: They got the right folks in their Defensively, they don't

1286
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: have good enough players right now. They just the personnel

1287
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: defensively is not good enough. If you think that's an

1288
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: excuse whatever, I'm making an excuse for LSU defensively. But

1289
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't think those guys forgot how to coach. I

1290
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: just think they need better players. They'll get them. They'll

1291
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: get them in time. They haven't fallen off in recruiting,

1292
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: and they got as of this moment, they got Bryce

1293
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: Underwood coming in there. They'll be okay, just not this year.

1294
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: It started started better than expected, and then there was

1295
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: a period of time where I started calling them the

1296
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: biggest wildcard team in college football. But the thing about

1297
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: being a wild card is that doesn't mean you're guaranteed

1298
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: to succeed. It could be just as easy for you

1299
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: to fail. And they failed. They have run out of gas.

1300
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: LSU played a twelve game season and they had about

1301
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,640
Speaker 1: nine weeks worth of gas in the tank, and now

1302
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: it's running on empty a little bit. Let's continue. I've

1303
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: got a lot of other games. I'm not gonna go

1304
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: like really really in depth on these, but just some

1305
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: added takeaways. Uh yeah, Brigham Young went down last night

1306
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 1: seventeen to thirteen. The Big twelve is really the biggest

1307
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: loser here because this virtually guarantees they only get one

1308
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: team in the playoff. But bring it. Look, guys, say

1309
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 1: this out loud. I mean, we talked about this Thursday,

1310
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: Brigham Young was playing Kansas at home than they were

1311
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: favored by two and a half. I was watching game

1312
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: day in my hotel Saturday morning, and one of them said, ooh,

1313
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 1: someone knows something. No, they don't. Kansas and Brigham Young

1314
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 1: are very comparable teams. One just happened to be undefeated,

1315
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: the other was three and six, But the caliber of

1316
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: teams were not that dissimilar at all, to the point

1317
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: where odds makers were telling you, if this game's on

1318
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: a neutral field, it's a Pickham game. You I keep

1319
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: saying this. I'm not blue in the face yet, I

1320
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: will say it until I'm blue in the face. You

1321
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: can believe you are what your record says you are.

1322
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: You're just believing a lie. This game was yet another

1323
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: example of that. That point spread on the game was

1324
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: another example of that. Here's all, here's the difference in

1325
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Brigham Young has been a positive bounce

1326
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: of ball team all year. They got They've largely been

1327
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: the beneficiar if plus turnovers, good fortune, opportune calls, and

1328
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: last night it didn't go their way. That they out

1329
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: gained Kansas, but they lost the turnover battle. They were

1330
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 1: not as good in the red zone. They were two

1331
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: to four in the red zone and had two turnovers.

1332
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 1: Kansas was three and three in the red zone, seventeen points.

1333
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: That's the difference in the game. Their life as a

1334
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: team is on the line. This week we will see

1335
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: them in person. This week. They're going to Arizona State.

1336
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: I think it could be the game of the weekend.

1337
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: That's why we're going there. Texas I thought was going

1338
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: to run the score up on Arkansas, and they didn't.

1339
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 1: They beat them twenty to ten. But I really thought

1340
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: it was a good spot for Texas to roll. They

1341
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: had no turnovers, they only had two penalties. They played

1342
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: a clean game. They held Arkansas to two thirty one

1343
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,799
Speaker 1: yardage wise, they had six sacks, they had nine tackles

1344
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: for loss. Defense won the game. Really, there's just something

1345
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 1: when I watched Texas that I keep waiting to click

1346
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. It's not bad, it's just not elite,

1347
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: and I keep waiting for it. And maybe I'm waiting

1348
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 1: for something that'll never come. But I'm still willing to

1349
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,640
Speaker 1: give benefit of the doubt because I think Texas has

1350
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: the ability to be the best team in the country.

1351
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 1: I think Texas has the ability to win an national title.

1352
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: I think there's a different level of quarterback play they're

1353
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: going to have to get because eventually they're going to

1354
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: run into a team like they did it is Georgia

1355
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. That really puts it on them physically,

1356
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: and they are going to have to outduel a team.

1357
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: They're going to have to outscore a team, and that's

1358
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 1: going to happen in the postseason. Will they be able

1359
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: to do it? I still am very much up in

1360
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: the air on that. Colorado. I'm not up in the

1361
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 1: air on they are peaking at the right time. They

1362
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: won forty nine to twenty four against Utah yesterday. Shador

1363
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: as usual. He's thirty of forty one, three forty three touchdowns.

1364
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: They held Utah to thirty one yards rushing. If I

1365
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: told you that at the beginning of the year, that's

1366
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: a typo. Colorado defensively is going to hold Utah to

1367
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: thirty one yards rushing. Travis Hunter is now the overwhelming

1368
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: Heisman favorite at FanDuel. He is minus three point thirty

1369
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: on the odds board. He's getting it done. I was

1370
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: the opinion that he was going to need to play

1371
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: in the conference championship game to win that award. Now

1372
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: he probably will play in the game, but it may

1373
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: not even mean necessary. He may have the thing locked

1374
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: up before them. So good for Colorado. They are in

1375
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: obviously unchartered territory right now. Clemson almost dropped one to

1376
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: Pitt yesterday. The officiating was bad in this game. I'm

1377
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: telling you because you won't hear another word about it

1378
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,879
Speaker 1: from people who you should hear from about it. Clemson

1379
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: could not run the ball and they still won. They

1380
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 1: had fifty eight Pitt had eighty eight rush yards, and

1381
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: they out rushed Clemson significantly. I don't know what to say.

1382
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: They kind of are who they are. The top gear

1383
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 1: is not there for Clemson, but they're good enough to

1384
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 1: win these games. Credit for winning the game, they still

1385
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 1: need help. They still need Miami to lose to either

1386
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: Wake or Syracuse if they want to make the conference

1387
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 1: title game. That's the picture right now in the ACC.

1388
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Not much to say. I don't know. I watched a

1389
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,799
Speaker 1: majority of this game too. They were on the ropes

1390
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: and then there's some some weird stuff that happened in

1391
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: this game. I'd suggest you go watch it. Kay Clubnett.

1392
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: There he goes, there he goes. He ends up getting

1393
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: the job done by any means necessary. Next up, Arizona State.

1394
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: Had I thought the outcome of the day. Arizona State

1395
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: goes into Kansas State. They're about an eight and a

1396
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 1: half point dog, they get up twenty four to nothing,

1397
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: and they end up winning. They have come back from

1398
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 1: the complete and total abyss as a program. Just being

1399
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: honest with you, Arizona State has no business even drawing

1400
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 1: breath right now. The situation that program was in. When

1401
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham got hired, there a lot of people looked

1402
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: and said, oh, good for Kenny he gets to go

1403
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: back to Tempe. But man, they're doing to him like

1404
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: that dude who they gave the SMU job to when

1405
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: they came off the death penalty. No, no, no one,

1406
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 1: Old Kenney Dillingham. That because Kenny Dillingham was foolish enough

1407
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: and ignorant enough to go in there and try and win.

1408
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,679
Speaker 1: And they're winning. They're right back like it never even happened.

1409
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 1: Arizona State. I want you to pause and listen to

1410
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: this headline. Matt Berry was first with this news. Arizona

1411
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: State controls their own playoff fate. Arizona State. They win,

1412
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: and they're in the Big twelve championship game. It's all happening.

1413
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: To quote Kate Hudson and almost famous, it's all happening.

1414
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: They got Brigham Young. This Saturday, we will be there

1415
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 1: in person, and then they go to Arizona to end

1416
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: the regular season. I can't believe it. But then again,

1417
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, I can. There are short memories

1418
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: in this sport, so I want to help you remember.

1419
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: Back in spring, there was a big headline out of

1420
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: Arizona State and it was Jadeen Roshada, former five star

1421
01:14:54,720 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: quarterback Jaden Rashada is transferring. He's leaving everyone freaked O out.

1422
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 1: I texted someone really quick about that, and I got

1423
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 1: back what I already suspected, and that was he's not

1424
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 1: leaving them high and drive. He's getting beat out for

1425
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: the job. Called Sam Levitt's the better quarterback. And so

1426
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: there was no ill will, there was no animosity. They

1427
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: wished him, well, it will help you out the door

1428
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: if you need help. But he realized, long before most

1429
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: people realized, Kenny Dillingham had himself a better quarterback in

1430
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: the stable. It just wasn't the one that was listed

1431
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: as the starter in the preview magazines that were being released.

1432
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: Well now here we are several months later, and Sam

1433
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: Levitt has that team on the brink of history for

1434
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: the Arizona State Sun Devil program. And then he's got

1435
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 1: us coming to town for the first time ever. Penn

1436
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:55,719
Speaker 1: State just smoked Purdue yesterday forty nine to ten. Mainly,

1437
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you it's a Tyler Warren show.

1438
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: We are a Tyler Warren show. He's their leading rusher

1439
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: in this game. He's their leading receiver in this game.

1440
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: He's a tight end. By the way, one hundred and

1441
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 1: ninety total yards. He had two touchdowns, just a machine.

1442
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 1: And I don't think that there will come a game

1443
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 1: again this year where they go down without firing the

1444
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren bullet. I may not win every game they play,

1445
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 1: but they will not have an Ohio State goal line

1446
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: two point zero situation occur again where forty four doesn't

1447
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: get multiple shots. They go to Minnesota and they got Maryland.

1448
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: This team is as primed to host a home playoff

1449
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: game as anyone in the country. This situation is Taylor

1450
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: made for Penn State to be sitting there sixth or

1451
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: fifth or seventh or whatever and hosting a home playoff game.

1452
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: That's probably the way this is going to fall. Okay,

1453
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: all the odds on the show presented by FanDuel, of course,

1454
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 1: I had a guy DM me yesterday and he was

1455
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: talking about the Romanutele Express. Now, the Romanuel Express has

1456
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: won money the past two weeks. Slight, but we've won money.

1457
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 1: We've been above five hundred over the past two weeks. Well,

1458
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 1: one of our citizens took it upon himself to cherry

1459
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: pick games, and he hit me up, used a bunch

1460
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 1: of inappropriate language things I would never let me mar

1461
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: read and he said, I am three and nine betting

1462
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: your picks, and then he wanted to blame me, and

1463
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 1: I said, well, if you're cherry picking them, then you're

1464
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: not betting my picks. Because if you're just betting the

1465
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 1: games I give out that you agree with that equals

1466
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: you're betting your picks. So you went three and nine, Bud,

1467
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: I am above five hundred the last two weeks. Also,

1468
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 1: you're a full grown adult who makes the decision to

1469
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: bet or not. There's the side note there. I with

1470
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: that in mind, that's not from FanDuel. That's for me

1471
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 1: from FanDuel. The Ramanuel Express comes your way again this week,

1472
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: and again we are going to get on a game early.

1473
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: This time, I am adding Texas Tech minus three three

1474
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 1: and a half to the board. They're on the road

1475
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma State. I will take a look at that line.

1476
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: I'll add several more throughout the week. It all culminates

1477
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: with Friday night lines, which I do live as live

1478

Speaker 1: can be on Instagram live on Friday nights at Lake

Speaker 1: One more thing I wanted to talk to you about

1501
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: before we get out of here. Oh my, I smelted

1502
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: and that's a shame. Still good. The AP pole has

1503
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: dropped for week thirteen. I have some thoughts. The one

1504
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,679
Speaker 1: through five is unchanged. I did notice though, Oregan's one

1505
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Texas, Penn State, Indiana, I think Jesse. That's

1506
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: the same as they had last week. The the Ohio

1507
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: State strength of schedules off the charts. If you look

1508
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: at this Oregon, They've played them, they played Penn State,

1509
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: they got Indiana Saturday. Ohio State maybe sitting here with

1510
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: three top five wins. It's like the strength of schedule

1511
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 1: likes of which we've never seen before. Notre Dame and

1512
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 1: Bama are six and seven. I got no problem with them.

1513
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: Then we get into the eight nine ten range. Georgia

1514
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: is at eight. I have taken a sneak peek at

1515
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: the JP pole for this week. Georgia will be higher

1516
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: than eight. Suffice it to say, ole Miss is still

1517
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 1: the most underrated team in the country. Ole Miss will

1518
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: be at their highest point they've been all year. For me,

1519
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: this upcoming week Tennessee's okay. I got Tennessee at ten.

1520
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: They're okay. They drop four spots in the AP pole.

1521
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 1: I still think they control their destiny. But we'll see

1522
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: Miami's at eleven, Boise's at twelve. I'm very detached on

1523
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 1: Boise State. My numbers have Boise in the thirties, I think.

1524
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: But we understand we have long since established power. Ratings

1525
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: and rankings are two different things. Don't even send the

1526
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: clip to Canal SMUs. Thirteenth BYU is fourteen BYU is

1527
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: still really high. Now, I will tell you this the

1528
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 1: JP pole, I did a little manual override, so I

1529
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: had been putting brigham Young higher than the model actually

1530
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 1: had them. The model has never had Brigham Young in

1531
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 1: the top twenty five, in the twenty five to thirty range,

1532
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 1: but never in the top twenty five. Because of that,

1533
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: the model did not drop Brigham Young at all. In fact,

1534
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking and they are actually Brigham Young went up

1535
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 1: two tenths of a point because they had a close

1536
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 1: game yesterday, lost the turnover battle. The way that pans

1537
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: out is they're not going to get punished for it.

1538
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: In the model. They're still overrated at least as the

1539
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: model sees things by where they're ranked. They're still at fourteen,

1540
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: but they dropped in the apopole. They didn't drop in

1541
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 1: the JP pole. In fact, they rose a spot. We'll

1542
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: see how this ends, because if they lose again this week,

1543
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: they'll drop again, And depending on how that game goes

1544
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 1: in Arizona State's favored by three and a half against them,

1545
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: I may still not drop them. And what may happen

1546
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: is it takes two or three BYU losses for the

1547
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: AP to bring them down to where the jpeople just

1548
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 1: had them all along. Could happen that way or it

1549
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: could not. We've got A and M at fifteen. They

1550
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 1: are in the most treacherous spot of all this week.

1551
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 1: Do you know who A and M plays this week?

1552
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: Is it Texas? No? No, no, No, that's in two weeks.

1553
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: Do you know who they play this week? Do they

1554
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 1: even play? I think they're off right. No, they're playing

1555
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 1: Oh it must be an FCS team. No, they play Auburn.

1556
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 1: They're favored by two and a half. Guys, you need

1557
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: to be heads up, you need to pay attention. A

1558
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: and M going over there at Hugh Freees and the

1559
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: boys got a big win against Lujiiman wrote yesterday they

1560
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 1: got a big win. They're rolling now. If they win again,

1561
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: that's two in a row. That's called a winning streak,

1562
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:57,600
Speaker 1: and it has happened before. Clemson is sixteen or no

1563
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: Colorado sixteen. I'm fine with that. Cleumbs in it. Seventeen.

1564
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Armies at eighteen. I have no

1565
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: clue how to judge Army. I don't even have them

1566
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 1: power rated because we don't do the surface academy teams

1567
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: as a standing rule military exemption on the model. South

1568
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 1: Carolina is at nineteen. It's them in Ole miss the

1569
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 1: two most underrated teams in the country, South Carolina. I'm

1570
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: looking at the tentative JP pole here. Yeah, they will

1571
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: be well higher than nineteen. Tulane is surging. Tulane's at twenty.

1572
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: I've got them higher than that in the JP pole.

1573
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: Tulane smoked Navy yesterday. You know two lanes allowed three no, no, no,

1574
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: TWU lanes allowed nine points in their past three games.

1575
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: John Somerral would call this rat poison. He does not

1576
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: even allow us talking about Tulane to be played in

1577
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 1: the greater New Orleans area. It's very it's very like

1578
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: North Korean vibe around the TWU lane program. Cannot talk

1579
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: great about them, that's rat poison. But they're really good.

1580
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: Tulane's really good. I don't know how this G five

1581
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: spot's going to shake out in the playoff. All I

1582
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: know is Tulane's the best G five team in the country.

1583
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: Whether they get in or not, whether their resume is

1584
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: good enough or not, they're the best G five team

1585
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 1: in the country. Arizona State's at twenty one, good with it.

1586
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: Iowa State, I think, is a little bit low at

1587
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: twenty two, but I do know why they're at twenty

1588
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: two because they've lost two games. In fact, they weren't

1589
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: even ranked last week. I've got them. We bumped them

1590
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,720
Speaker 1: up two points after yesterday and the JP poles, So

1591
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 1: we'll see where they land. The next two teams I

1592
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 1: think are way high. UNLV's twenty third. I don't have

1593
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: them power rated nearly that high. Illinois is really oh

1594
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 1: by the way, so I got Illinois overrated. Illinois to

1595
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:47,759
Speaker 1: me is in the forties. Notice what's happening with Illinois.

1596
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: I just want to point this out. If Illinois were

1597
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: an SEC team that's played the big boys and they

1598
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: had three losses and the AP was sneaking them back

1599
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: into the top twenty five. There. You know what would

1600
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 1: be said. What would be said is here they go.

1601
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,799
Speaker 1: Here they go manufacturing more ranked wins for the SEC

1602
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: teams by putting a three loss team there in the

1603
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: twenty four spot, so they can brag about it. But

1604
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 1: since it's a big ten team, no one says anything.

1605
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:20,799
Speaker 1: Anyone's spotting that and paying attention to that. Okay, Washington

1606
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: State's at twenty five, down six spots. They lost, but

1607
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: still hanging out there. Don't have a huge amount of

1608
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 1: issues with the AP pole this week. But also no

1609
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: one's paying attention to the AP pole anymore because the

1610
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 1: college football playoff rankings are out and that will happen

1611
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday night and we'll be reacting to that. I think

1612
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:43,639
Speaker 1: we'll be in Fort Lauderdale Tuesday night too, so looking

1613
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 1: forward to that. Had a good show tonight. If you'll

1614
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm going to go sleep for about fourteen hours.

1615
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: People that really have it since last night, So I

1616
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:56,719
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys trying to think, trying to think Tuesday

1617
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: or Thursday. No, we're good this week. Just carry on

1618
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,799
Speaker 1: business as usual, We'll just be in Fort Lauderdale Tuesday

1619
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:06,240
