Poll question, 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.480 play of the Day, stat of the Day, all of 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.480 that forthcoming. Michigan's win over Ohio State's going to have 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.760 a huge impact on the college football playoff picture, but 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.959 even more at stake for the Wolverines. After being dominated 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.000 for an entire decade, Michigan got a measure of revenge. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.800 Beating up on the buck Ice Saturday was a great 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.440 example what makes college football so special. You don't find 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.040 that kind of emotion in the NFL, but what you 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.320 saw in Ann Arbor, it's unlike any place else in 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.960 American sports. These are the kind of games that mean 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.720 more to more people. And the same could be said 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.080 for Alabama that great comeback against Auburn in the iron Ball, 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:03.120 Oklahoma State fending off Oklahoma another wild finish. Rivalries and 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.960 other sports have been watered down in recent years, They're 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.320 still going strong when it comes to college football. I'm 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.720 sure Wolverine fans won a couple more wins a national title, 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.280 but even if that doesn't happen, there has to be 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:22.000 a huge degree of celebration satisfaction and relieve by beating 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:26.399 the Ohio State. I wasn't surprised. I thought that this 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.240 was a Michigan team that matched up with Ohio State. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.400 Said that going into the game, and they were just 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.639 a better team. They dominated Ohio State and Ohio State 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.640 live and die by the pass, and they got manhandled, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.200 mauled when it came to the offensive line, defensive line 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.520 as well, and they ran the football. I said that 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.040 I didn't root one way or another other than if 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.840 I'm rooting for content, Michigan winning is better content because 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.760 now Jim Harball has got to win. Maybe now we 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.000 have a rivalry. What this means bigger picture from Michigan 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.959 going into the four they got to put away. I 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.000 won the Big Ten title game. What this can mean 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.480 for Michigan as we move forward, what happens to Ohio 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.519 State and what's going to happen you know, when the 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.360 smoke settles here. Alabama didn't have an impressive win. They 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.040 in fact just held on for dear life. Auburn lost 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.320 that game. It wasn't the feeling I had that Alabama 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.440 won it that surprised me because I'm watching going Okay, 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.080 when's Alabama gonna be Alabama and you're playing against a 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.760 backup quarterback with Auburn. You score three points in fifty 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:36.000 nine minutes, but Alabama wins that game, and that's what 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.280 you have to do. Stay alive. Now you have Georgia 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.240 coming up. They lose to Georgia, then they're out of 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.760 the picture. If they beat Georgia, then it's going to 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.200 get even more interesting here and those on the outside 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.880 looking in. Does somebody still get a chance to get in? 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.240 You still have these conference title games as well? Pole question, McLevin, 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.320 what do you have today? Okay, I don't know how 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.280 to word this exactly, but if you say that Michigan, Georgia, 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.320 and Cincinnati are in, who do you think the committee 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.200 would pick as a fourth team if they had the 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.560 following options? A one loss Oklahoma State team, a one 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.280 loss Notre Dame team, a two loss Alabama, or a 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:16.039 two loss Ohio State. Is it obvious? I'm gonna say 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:20.400 a one loss Notre Dame because you can still you 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.040 can validate that, like, you can back that up a 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.440 little bit. If you're gonna go, hey, we're putting in 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.000 a two loss Alabama team, all right, you know you 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.680 lose to Texas A and M and you lose to 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.400 Georgia if that happens in the SEC tinal game. Ohio State, 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.880 you know, you got blown out by Michigan. Now that 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.640 I think that's a little bit different there. Notre Dame 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.360 has been dominating teams. You know, granted they blew out 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.080 a bad Stanford team, but I would think Notre Dame 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:53.200 would be the team right now kind of hanging on 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.279 the Priffrey. Yeah, po. Oklahoma State's got pretty tough schedule 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.920 this year. They have one road loss at Iowa State 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.440 by three points and they were winning the fourth quarter 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.000 with three minutes to go. Baylor National TV this weekend. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.360 It's a TV show, Paul, I know, No, I agree, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.880 I'm talking. I think you're probably right. No, you're trying 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.240 to go with hey, you got the credentials. Yeah. I 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.159 always lean towards who's going to bring a bigger fan 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.400 base here, Who's gonna put more eyeballs on these games? 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.440 Who's going to care more about this? Nobody's gonna care 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.080 nationally about Oklahoma State or Baylor, even if they are 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.040 better teams, you know than Notre Dame. Yeah, the club, Yeah, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.000 they've proven the pass by the Big twelve. We've seen 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.440 that a couple of times. Yeah, all right, so we'll 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.080 talk to Pat forties in college football, and USC gets 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.000 their man, Lincoln Riley. You know, it felt like Lincoln 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.800 Riley's always his name comes up. He's only thirty eight, 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:50.760 and I thought that he was going to go to 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.240 the Cowboys a couple of years ago. I thought that 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.920 that would have been a really good pick because he's 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.760 developing these quarterbacks and that's what the NFL was all about. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.839 Takes over for Bob Stoops and you know, they don't 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.039 miss a beat. And now who comes in to help 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.440 out Oklahoma? Bob Stoops is going to coach Oklahoma in 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.840 the bull game. Now there's gonna be names that you're 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.279 gonna come up. You're gonna hear names that are not 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.279 interested in Oklahoma as much as they're using Oklahoma to 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.840 get a pay raise. That's what's happened. That happens every 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.320 single year at this time. But a name that I 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.640 was told keeping on, maybe Mark Stoops, Bob Stoops's brother, 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:34.200 as a possibility there, Cliff Kingsbury's name will be floated about, 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.440 probably by Cliff Kingsbury's agent, just so he can get 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:41.080 a pay raise with the Arizona Cardinals. Yes, Seaton. So 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:46.360 how does that process work? Right? Say you're hot shot 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:51.800 NFL coach and maybe you're rumored for two college football jobs, right, 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:56.200 does your agent just go into say the general manager's 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.559 office and say, okay, so a lot of rumors getting 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.159 some offers out there. What are we going to do 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.599 to make this feel better? Is it that direct? Is 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.360 it that blunt? Like? So LSU called we might take 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.679 that job? Well, it feels like just like with James 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.760 Franklin and USC and LSU, and I said, look, he 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.600 hired an agent whose job, Jimmy Sexton, is to leverage 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.880 the SEC and that's exactly what he did. He fell 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:25.240 off the radar with USC. And it's like, uh, can 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.640 I have my name in there? With LSU? LSU thought 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:33.880 they had Lincoln Riley. They thought they had him. Whatever 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.720 happened with USC Levinth Thauer and they got their man. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.920 Here is the press conference after Oklahoma lost Oklahoma State. 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.640 Here is Lincoln Riley getting the question, Lincoln, are you 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.760 shocked that you've gotten this far? Thought anybody asking you 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:53.560 about all the rumors this week? I'm just I'm gonna 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.400 I'm gonna ask you about it, so I might as well. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:00.800 It's NonStop. I mean, it's it's every day. Hold up, Kerry, 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.920 I'm not going to be the next head coach at LSU. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:10.280 Can I ask you next question? Okay? And he's not, 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.880 but he I think was going to be the next 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.760 head coach at LSU. Yeah. See, there was like fifteen 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:22.760 hours difference between that statement and the USC announcement. I know, 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.080 I know if you're an Oklahoma fan, you're probably going, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:31.080 wait what, Well, I love the reporter being like, I mean, 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.960 it is just NonStop, all these rumors, like what are 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.000 you gonna you have to come back? This like almost 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.960 like it's a huge problem. Just ask the question. He's 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.320 a grown man, You're a grown man. Just asked the question, coach, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:48.880 how do you address these, uh, you know, rumors? And 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.440 then if you want to get directed and say, you know, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.559 are you going to LSU? Have you been contacted by LSU? 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.120 At least you're on record is saying it instead of 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.320 saying and I know it's different when you're low cool 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.680 and you're gonna see that coach and he's gonna see you, 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.480 and you want to be friendly to the program, and 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.760 I understand all those things. Although everybody's gonna be turning 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.080 on Lincoln Riley. Now everybody was like, hey, you know, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.839 I gotta ask the question here. Now they're like, yeah, 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.320 I asked about you know, he said he wasn't going 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.120 down my shoe. I didn't think about saying are you 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.640 going to USC? Yeah? That was genius by Lincoln Riley. 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.560 He jumped the question. He once the topic was up there, 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.200 He's like, okay, I gotta put this to bed quick, 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.840 and he jumped the reporter, getting specific and said, hey, 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.000 I'm not going to LSU, which he was telling the 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.320 absolute truth when he probably told that line, and he 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.800 didn't let them follow up with what about any other offers? 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:44.320 Are you committed to OSU? He jumped the whole topic. Yeah, 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.280 but you know it was a passive aggressive question to 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.719 begin with, and then he became just aggressive like I'm 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.680 gonna go grab it and I'm gonna put that to 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.640 the side. Next question, Okay, is somebody gonna go what 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:04.319 about what about USC? I give credit to USC. They 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.760 kept it quiet and swooped in again Lincoln's it's a 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.199 great hire. But I also think, you know, and some 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.200 of the USC people too, that I spoke to be 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.920 a text on Saturday said, oh my god, is this 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.440 as good as we can get? And I said, yes 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:28.360 it is. Who else are you thinking? You're not getting 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.840 Nick Saban? Who did you think you were going to 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:37.920 get Mike Tomlin. I think this was a great hire 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:42.440 for them. If you want to re establish yourself, first 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.240 of all, get a coach who's going to keep the 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.480 best quarterbacks in town. And Lincoln Riley's gonna help you 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.400 because he does a lot of recruiting in LA And 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.040 you've already got a five star commitment, you got, you 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.040 got three guys who were going to go to Oaklhoma 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.240 are gonna decommit, and then they're going to go to USC. 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.520 You're already winning. But I also think if I'm Lincoln 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:12.160 Riley and I'm looking at the SEC, we're pretty good 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.640 in the Big twelve. And you say I can get 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.200 to a national title, gag. I got a better chance 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.360 going to the Pac twelve with USC than I do 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:25.320 going into the SEC playing simple. And I think that 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.160 is the real story here. Lincoln Riley, small town guy 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.440 go into the big city. I got. I got a 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.840 chance going into the SEC that ain't the Big twelve, 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:42.320 but the PAC twelve you got a chance. Yeah. Shouldn't 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:46.040 the SEC be like the thing that's lowering you? Shouldn't 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.120 you want to go coach in the SEC rather than 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.559 I don't know, man, he's weekend and week out. I 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.400 don't know. But if so, then if it's a dude 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.200 that's scared to go to the SEC, is that really 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.160 the guy that you want coaching for you. I don't 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.559 know if that's the reason, other than I think it 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.360 and who's gonna say it, he's not gonna go coach 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.120 or a quick question here, I know I gotta ask 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:12.640 the question. Coach talking about it? Yeah, are you afraid 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.160 of coaching in the SEC? Coach? Yes, McLean. I have 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.080 a friend who's a USC fan, and I think they're 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.240 all crazy because he's like, well, he can't be that 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.800 good Oklahoma, let him walk. And he also said he 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.439 inherited a great team at Oklahoma. I'm like, he went 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.920 to four straight playoffs. Yeah, I can't believe they're not 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.439 thrilled with this hire. It's um and I think you're right. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.120 I think they're not thrilled. I think they're like, oh, 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.640 what else was out there? I think they're delusional to 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.840 think that they were getting. But this is when you 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.480 have a wish list of names and when you know 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.800 you all of a sudden see all of these names, Well, 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.360 these are the names that USC was interested in. Not 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:51.520 necessarily those people were interested in UNC. They would throw 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.480 out you know, as I mentioned dan Quinn. Dan Quinn's 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:59.600 the defensive coordinator for Dallas. Okay, they were interested in him. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:04.679 I don't dan Quinn was interested in them. They curious 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.320 about Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin wasn't interested in USC. And 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.880 that's where you get your hopes up. Like LSU. What 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:16.720 does LSU do now? Because they thought they were getting 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:21.400 Lincoln Riley? Now who are you getting? And it doesn't 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.760 mean that there's not quality coaches out there, it's just 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.679 in your mind. We look at the big ticket items. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.640 There are times when you'll see a coach and you'll go, man, 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.440 that guy's pretty good. Well he was. He was a nobody. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.000 You didn't know him. Then all of a sudden he 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.480 takes over and you go, oh, he can coach. We 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.240 love to know the names that are interested in our 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.199 alma maters, like we gotta have somebody better than that. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.880 We're USC, not always the case. Pat Fordy will join us, 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.400 talk to him about who's LSU go all in on 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:56.079 and we'll talk about that hiring and is Lincoln Riley 0:13:56.200 --> 0:14:02.400 running two or running away from the SEC. That'll give 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.240 Paul Feinbaum something to talk about today as if he 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.080 needs anything. Yeah, Paul Hohich, Everyone's talk about anything you're 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.360 afraid of, like a spider, SEC football.

Pat Forty, Sports Illustrated senior writer, 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.360 He's an insider. I want to be a college football 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.520 insider one day when I grow up, or maybe an 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.920 outsider is what I'm probably considered an outsider by the way, 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:53.880 I just found out what LSU offered Lincoln Riley. You 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.120 guys want a guest closest to the whole. Then we'll 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.920 get to Pat Forty, who was at the Alabama auber 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:04.320 In game. Mclovin ten million, ten million, Fritzie, I'm about 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:05.920 to say eight and a head, eight and a half, 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:15.440 Seaton ug eight eight, Paulie, twelve million dollars. Just found 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.760 out Lincoln Riley offered twelve million dollars. Dang. I don't 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.240 know what USC offered, but I'm going to guess housing 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.879 was included. Let's bring in Pat, forty Sports illustrated senior 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.639 writer and a college football insider. Good morning, Pat. A 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.679 lot to digest over the weekend. Where are you going 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.400 to start? Let's start with Lincoln Riley. Gotta start it there. 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.800 I mean, the biggest like college to college coaching move 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.960 I can remember. You know, usually people don't leave Oklahoma 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.000 unless they're retiring, maybe going to the NFL, maybe a 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.320 scandal chase them out to go leave Oklahoma for another 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.640 job is remarkable, and I think it says a lot 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:57.040 dan about where Oklahoma is heading. And I'd say Lincoln Riley, well, 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:01.000 he may be running to the beach and LA, he's 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.400 also running away from the SEC. And I don't blame him. Yeah, 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.920 I brought that up, and I don't know, I haven't heard, 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:10.000 but I just figured if you had a chance to 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.720 play for a national championship or continue your run, you 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.040 got a better chance at USC than I think you 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.840 do take an Oklahoma into the SEC. Is that fair 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.360 to say, though? Yeah, I mean I think it's fair 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.520 to say certainly I will hear what he says at 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.320 the press conference today, although i'd imagine, you know, it's 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.880 going to be all about why USC is a wonderful place, 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.480 which it is. But what's the one thing that has changed. 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:39.200 It's where Oklahoma is going to make its conference affiliation, 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:44.200 and he changed when that changed. So I look at 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.280 it and say, all the advantages that he had at 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.119 Oklahoma in terms of being able to dominate a conference, 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:54.200 recruit where you want and who you want, less competition, 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:59.640 less you know, just bloodthirsty weekend and week out battles, 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.440 and you can still play for a national championship, especially 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.160 if and when we get the expanded playoff, which should 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:10.359 be soon. I'd go to USC as well. How blindsided 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:15.000 was Oklahoma? I think they were pretty blindsided. You know. 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:19.359 I talked to somebody there last week who took great Umbridge, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.320 and I really I was inquiring about LSU because that's 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.200 where the smoke was. But it took great Umberage. So 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.479 why do people always say that our coaches would leave? 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.239 They said that about Bob Stoops need to leave. Now 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.480 they're saying about Lincoln. I don't think he's gonna leave. 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.359 There's no indication he's gonna leave, then all of a 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.240 sudden he's going to leave. So it's something at the 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.880 very end of the week, whether it's Friday, whether it's Saturday. 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.960 I think things started to percolate and there became a 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.879 little bit of turbulence there. But I don't think Oklahoma 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.560 saw this coming until very late in the game. All Right, 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:53.119 what's Oklahoma do? What's LSU do? Pooh? Those are great questions. 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.840 It's interesting to me that Bob stoop steps in is 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.119 the interim and he may just do like Barry Alvrez did, 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.840 just say, Look, I'm gonna coach this bowl game and 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.360 enjoy it and that's it. What if Bob steps says, 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:06.200 you know what, I like this, I'd like to stay. 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.440 I'd like to be the head coach. I mean, I'm 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.760 not sure that's out of the question. I know the 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.119 release from Oklahoma yesterday did not say I am only 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.479 coaching the bowl game period, just said he would be 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.520 the interim coach for the bowl game. If not him, hey, 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.199 his brother is doing a heck of a job at 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.000 Kentucky and maybe realizing he's scraping the ceiling of what 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.240 Kentucky could do. What better place to go than Oklahoma. 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.960 Have the backing of your legendary brother there, who knows 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.040 everyone and everything about that program. The other option, I 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.880 think Matt Campbell, who's at Iowa State and has had 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.359 five straight winning seasons there, which hadn't happened at that 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.120 school since the nineteen twenties. So I think that's where 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.400 that list starts. LSU, I don't know, man, I mean, 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:49.159 Mark Stoops could be in play there. I still have 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.960 some people saying that they may take a last ditch 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:56.159 swing at jimbo Fitcher. There's been some talk about NFL candidates, 0:20:56.240 --> 0:21:00.479 but the LSU situation has gotten really intriguing. All right, 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.280 let's look at what you think the playoff rankings are 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.399 going to look like tomorrow night, and then let's handicap 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.439 as we move into the following weekend. So how's it 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:14.720 play out tomorrow night? I think Georgia one, Michigan two, 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:20.200 probably Cincinnati three, and then the real intrigue. I'm sorry, 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.040 you can probably have Alabama still in there. I would 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.520 say that whether the three or four, the intrigue to 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:27.040 me is who's going to be five and six and 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.800 in what order between Notre Dame and Oklahoma State because 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:33.639 I anticipate Alabama losing to Georgia and opening up that 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.439 fourth spot and then is it Notre Dame or is 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.399 it Oklahoma State. And I do think it's interesting that 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:42.600 in both of the human polls the top twenty five 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.359 so that Oklahoma State jumped ahead of Notre Dame in 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.239 those and so people maybe kind of setting the stage there, 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.480 especially since Notre Dame doesn't have another game, for Oklahoma 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.520 State to slide into that fourth spot if Alabama does lose. 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:59.440 The fallout from Michigan's win is what. It's huge, I think. 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:02.480 I mean just massive for Jim Harbaugh's finest day obviously 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.000 in that job, something they've been waiting for for six years, 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:08.760 you know. And I think ever since that fourth and 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.960 one spot for JT. Barrett in twenty sixteen, his program 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.920 stalled and then declined, and now this shoots it back 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:19.800 up with a vengeance and they're sixty minutes away against 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:21.960 Iowa if they don't have a letdown from going to 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.560 the playoff. And let's be frank, Michigan has been a 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:26.159 great program for a long time, but they haven't been 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.760 a national championship competitor in a long time. It's been 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.080 quite a while, and now they've got a shot to 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.439 do it. You finally get over on your nemesis, you 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.080 get into the playoff, you take those defensive ends in 0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:41.400
