00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal. I'll that for me. I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: be happy.

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for a day? Edo state

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: is that?

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: Whoo whoo?

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: And no dem and tie.

9
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: Dan Rebinstein, I interrupt our side chat talking about the

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: King of Kong documentary to bring Week twelve college football

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: previews to the verbalerhood.

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back, my friend. How are you? I'm good. I

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: don't even want to talk college football if King of

14
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: Kong is on the table to discuss. I have not

15
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: seen it. I know of it, but I have not

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: seen the doc. Order yourself a big takeout order of

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Thai food or something. No pun intended, but I appreciate

18
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: how on the nose it kind of sounds. Find your best,

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: most worked in cushion on the couch and just load

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: up for the best eighty two minutes of your life.

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, Okay, so we have week twelve? Am I

22
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: getting the week correct?

23
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: It is week twelve already if you can believe it.

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, We've got a long rundown of games that I

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: cannot wait to watch. With the asterisk if I'm able

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: to as the YouTube TV sort this out. I don't

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: believe so have you seen anybody here? It's insane? I

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: believe I am sane. I've got my my antenna hooked up.

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: It could not make the basement TV area look worse

30
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: as it's just lodged into a window pane in the well.

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: It's terrible, but it gets the job done for ABC

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: and i'd last two weeks ago, I did sling. I

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: guess I could do Fubo or something. I don't know

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: what my plan is in terms of a streaming carrier,

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: but in any case, I am in a lather. How

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: excited I am for Week twelve? How about that?

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: I am as well? Well, welcome back one and all.

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: My name is Ty, his name is Dan hit Fall

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: hit subscribe if you have yet.

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: To do so.

41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: We got a long way to go, partner. It's only

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: like the mid part I know of November. I mean,

43
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: this thing is longer than ever before.

44
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: We've got playoff news.

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: That we're going to talk about here momentarily. Of course,

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: We've got a bunch of games that we need to preview.

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: Got a whole host of fun oddities that I think

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: we will cover over the course of the next hour.

49
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: Hour and fifteen or so. Of course, we did an

50
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: hour and forty five great on the Tuesday episode, and

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: thankfully people didn't punish us too much for that.

52
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Excuse me.

53
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 2: We had a lot to get off our chest, and

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: we'll see where this episode goes. Of course, forballers dot

55
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: Com is where you can go if you want to

56
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: support what Dan and I do. We will talk and

57
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: do course about run the board, our week twelve Pick

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: Them game, and what the prize looks like.

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: But before we.

60
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: Dive into all of that, we have a little bit

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: of a time on our tradition here. Yes, we do

62
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: on the saliverbo College Football podcast where.

63
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: We give it a nickname.

64
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: This was started from the old practice I guess it's

65
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: probably still in circulation over ESPN, where they give very

66
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: specific weekends the nickname of Separation Saturday or like Showdown Saturday.

67
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 2: They only had like show Me Saturday. They had a

68
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: rotation of like three or four names that they went

69
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: with the try and act cool.

70
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: We took it, We ran with it.

71
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: We give much more appropriate and creative nicknames, and this

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: year I have abdicated any and all responsibility that I

73
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: had with giving nicknames over to you. Because I think

74
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: you're better at it. So with that preamble, Dan, what

75
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: do we got for week twelve?

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm unafraid to find a centaur Saturday if one

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: should exist. So I'm looking at week twelve. I'm looking

78
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: at the number of let down spots after last week.

79
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: So the number of teams I listed here BYU let

80
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: down in that they had a big opportunity on the

81
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: road and kind of fell flat. But it was more

82
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: that Texastach just happens to be very very good, Oregon

83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: in Iowa, each of them went. Oregon has a short

84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: week against Minnesota, Iowa was going across the country to

85
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: take on USC. Clemson a big win, I guess for

86
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Clemson against Florida State, short week now against Louisville. Louisville

87
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: an overtime loss against Cal needs to get its act

88
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: together quickly for Clemson. Georgia has played a bunch of

89
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: tough games in a row. Bama tough games in a row,

90
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Arizona chaotic win late now travels to Cincinnati. Do Glosta

91
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Yukon do they have it this week in a big

92
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: game against Virginia Miszoo, San Diego State. The list goes

93
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 1: on and on. And it's not just about let down

94
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: and do you have that same sort of burst after

95
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: being emotionally let down after last week or just tired.

96
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: It's November, right, It's what do you have in the

97
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: third quarter? What do you have in the fourth quarter?

98
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: And so when I think about the burst, when I

99
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: think about the speed, it's not necessarily what you have

100
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: in terms of the home run hitting or the pick sixes.

101
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: It's this is something I relate to immensely, Tie, who

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: is the least slow Okay, who has the ability to

103
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: stay up as we get into and it's not a

104
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: bad weather weekend. So I have this and this is

105
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: a dual nickname here because I'm also honoring you here.

106
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: Welcome to speed Test Saturday. I want that connection, Tie,

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: I want that connection to the reality of this home

108
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: stretch for a number of these teams. And so we

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: are in that place where you know, Oregon barely gets

110
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: by Iowa. Not that Minnesota has been terrific this year,

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: but it's short week against the quality team. Ish, It's

112
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: I love it. It's speed Test Saturday. Colin. What kind

113
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: of connection do you have or what's your connection? So

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: speed Test Saturday, I love it. Thank you love it, Dan, Well,

115
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: not a sponsor could be. This also honors Tie because

116
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Tie has finally upgraded his Internet to more modern speeds.

117
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: Somebody who works in.

118
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: This industry, I thought today would feel different. It just

119
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: sort of feels like a normal day. But yeah, it's

120
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: definitely live it in the future now that I get

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: three hundred megabits per second.

122
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: Up, look at you? Ooh yeah, give me that. So

123
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: you want that? You want to James speed test Saturday?

124
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 1: What was the what was the speed test Saturday? Colin?

125
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: What's your connection? What is your connection?

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: We got to start here at the very top though,

127
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: because this was not something that we had a whole

128
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: lot of a chance to address.

129
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: Because we couldn't. This New Eve will be so awesome.

130
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: We've got playoff rankings, Dan.

131
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: I believe there's a game on New Year's Eve this year?

132
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Is there not? I can look.

133
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: I think I remember the whole New tradition BS that

134
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: they tried to uh trumpet a couple of years ago. Yeah,

135
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: we had a game last year. It was Penn State

136
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: Boise State. We're gonna have another one this year. I

137
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: believe they're playing it in Arlington. I think it's the

138
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: Cotton Bowl that is being played on New Year's Eve. Nonetheless, Dan,

139
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: we have our second batch of college football playoff rankings

140
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: and they are as follows. Number one, two, three, and

141
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: four is Ohio State, Indiana, Texas, A and m in Alabama.

142
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: No big surprise there. Georgia remains at number five. This

143
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: is when we start seeing some mild changes as compared

144
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: to last week. Number six Texas Tech.

145
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: Of course, they.

146
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: Bump up two after dominating BYU. All miss at number seven.

147
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: Your Oregon ducks up one to number eight, my Notre

148
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: Dame fighting Irish at number nine. To round out the

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: top twelve, we've got Texas at ten, Oklahoma at eleven,

150
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: and BYU at number twelve. What this looks like in

151
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: terms of the projected bracket and I have projected in

152
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: all caps and in air quotes. I will get to

153
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: why in a second. The way that they have drawn

154
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: this thing up is.

155
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: A solid ver Bowl between.

156
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and Oregon, with the winner playing Ohio State

157
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: USF on the road at Georgia with the winner playing Alabama. Miami,

158
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: the projected ACC champion according to this and probably only this,

159
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: on the road at Texas Tech with the winner playing

160
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Texas A and M.

161
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: And then to round out the field.

162
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: Of twelve, number ten Texas Longhorns on the road at Ole,

163
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: miss with the winner playing Indiana Dan Rubinstein. So again,

164
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: you take a lot of this with the grain of salt.

165
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 2: We couldn't talk about it on Tuesday because we recorded

166
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: a Tuesday episode on Monday. We didn't know what theves

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: were going to look like quite yet. I don't know

168
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: if there are any huge surprises in here. The rankings,

169
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: based on what I'm seeing, based on what we talked

170
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: about on the Tuesday episode look a lot alike, a

171
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: lot of similarity there, so not anything in the way

172
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: of huge surprises. I do have some thoughts, but I'll

173
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: kick it over to you first. What's your reaction to this?

174
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: It all sort of makes sense. I understand if you're

175
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: a BYU fan why you might be disappointed. I mean,

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: obviously BYU still ahead of Utah, but BYU with a

177
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: top ten loss, exclusively being behind Oklahoma and Texas with

178
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: two losses, Notre Dame with two losses. Now, mind you,

179
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: these losses are not bad losses for these schools Texas, Oklahoma,

180
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. But you know you'd like a team with

181
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: one loss in a major conference that has only lost

182
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: to a top ten school to be maybe considered to

183
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: be a slightly higher level program or highly numbered program,

184
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: in this case, higher ranked program. The Miami thing is interesting.

185
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: The thing that works against Miami in this spot is

186
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: because you can speak more to this than I can.

187
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Their path to the AEC Championship game is pretty uphill, right.

188
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a three point seven percent chance, right,

189
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: so into it beforehand.

190
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: So the odds are and zero.

191
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: Okay, the odds are zero, and this is the ACC

192
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: so anything's possible, but true, Miami would need to win out,

193
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: root for Duke this weekend, hope that SIMU beats Louisville,

194
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: root for cal to beat SMU at the last week

195
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: of the season, and also cheer for pitt to beat

196
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech.

197
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: These are not crazy things. No, it's just it's a parlay.

198
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: It's it's a five, you know, six. I don't know

199
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: how many things you mentioned, but yes, it's a it's

200
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: a number of things needing to happen, which is very difficult.

201
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: And the thing that's also working against Miami just in

202
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: terms of an at large is that they don't have

203
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: a huge headline opponent left unless them vault them. Yeah,

204
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: unless Pitt beats Notre Dame this weekend, Right, that's what

205
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: they need, which would knock Notre Dame out completely and

206
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: would take Pitt into the top twenty, top seventeen or something.

207
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: Yes, would definitely make Pitt much more of a marquee

208
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: opponent when they meet the last week of the season

209
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. That's what they would need, I think to

210
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: vault their chances. But like to the point here, the

211
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: bracket that the committee put out has Miami as a

212
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: projected ACC champion. They're not going to win the ACC.

213
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: Right again, it's possible ability. I think there is a

214
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: stronger possibility that it's going to be somebody else, and

215
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: we will talk about that through the course of our

216
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: projections and predictions here today. I think the more likely

217
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: scenario for Miami is that teams in front of them lose.

218
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: Right.

219
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: You know, if you're a Canes fan, if you want

220
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: to get into the field, it's far more likely that

221
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: teams in front of you lose, that you root for chaos,

222
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: that a bunch of stuff breaks in the final couple

223
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: weeks and you kind of worm your way into it

224
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 2: by virtue of that as opposed to an ACC title game.

225
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: Yes. And the other thing is just when you look

226
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: at the other some of the other two loss teams

227
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: with which they might be competing for that spot, a

228
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: lot of them have a headline opponents left right. Texas

229
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: has Georgia this weekend, Oklahoma has Alabama like, there's a

230
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: lot of huge resume tent pole situation like Michigan as

231
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State, USC has Oregon and Iowa this week depending

232
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: on your opinion of an unranked Iowa at this moment.

233
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: But there's a lot there for these teams to help

234
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: their and so that's the difficulty for Miami specifically. But

235
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: all things considered, still a moderately successful year otherwise, I

236
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: don't have I don't think I have a ton to

237
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: complain about. I respect Texas Tech getting that bump up

238
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: to number six after their win against an undefeated power

239
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: conference BYU team. We talked a little bit about Indiana

240
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: sliding beneath Texas A and M. But it's not like

241
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: Texas A and M has blown everybody out right. They

242
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: had a couple close calls against Well, close call against

243
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and a close call against a less than

244
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: stellar Arkansas team, but the way A and M has

245
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: played recently in Indiana needing every second to be a

246
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Penn State team, lame duck coach, backup quarterback.

247
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: You.

248
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: I understand the case for A and M if we're

249
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: looking at a more recent resume structure. But again, I

250
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: don't have any specific problems because Indiana's win at Oregon,

251
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, beating a top ten team on the road,

252
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:59,239
Speaker 1: holding him to thirteen offensive points, it's a huge, huge deal. Otherwise,

253
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: I understand Virginia dropping like they did and the doubt

254
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: about their future with Chandler Morris's injury. I understand Louisville

255
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: dropping like they did, losing at home to an unranked team.

256
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: I guess I said I was unranked. I was ranked one, Yeah,

257
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: I was twenty one. Yeah, And let me direct myself

258
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: latest batch of ranking.

259
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: Can I circle back to what you said about BYU

260
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: for a second, Please do, please do, because I do

261
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: understand where BYU fans are are are coming down on this.

262
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: I understand the sentiment they are currently twelve. They are

263
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: on the outside looking in. The argument is, hey, we've

264
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: got one loss on the road against the top now

265
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: six opponent and we're now ranked below three two loss teams.

266
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: My counterpoint would be that I think all of the

267
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: teams in front of BYU are better than BYU. That's

268
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 2: my count, Okay, all right now, that is not necessarily

269
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 2: based on metrics.

270
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: That is based on I test.

271
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: I have watched all of the BYU games at this point,

272
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: after many BYU fans screamed at me to do so,

273
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: I have done.

274
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: So.

275
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: I am in prest by what they have done this season.

276
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: That does not necessarily mean that I have them in

277
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: the top twelve.

278
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: By the way, the metrics don't love BYU in terms

279
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: of like pure efficiency with the manner in which BYU

280
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: has played against quality teams. Yeah, the most impet portant

281
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: metric isn't really a metric. It's that they've won those games.

282
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: But in terms of in terms of the manner, they

283
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: have not been as lethal. Look they their net points

284
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: per drive is below Florida States in this moment. Now,

285
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: that I think is much more of a question about

286
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Florida State coaching. That they're able to move the ball

287
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: some and stop the ball some and not win games. Sure,

288
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: but BYU is not performing on a per drive basis

289
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: like Louisville, like Arizona, like Yukon, like Pitt, like North Texas,

290
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: and obviously there are different schedules. But BYU is really

291
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: well coached and executes really well at the end of games,

292
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: which should count for something. But to your point, they're

293
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: not performing like these other teams are more consistently.

294
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: Now, I don't think so, But listen, what I think

295
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: almost does not matter, because if you're a BYU fan,

296
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: you win out, you're getting in the Big twelve title game,

297
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: and then you get the rematch, presumably with Texas Tech.

298
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: So it's it's still a situation where you basically control

299
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: your own destiny, agree and you still have an opportunity

300
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: to get in.

301
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: You also.

302
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: Are in a situation where the teams in front of

303
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: you are probably going to lose. Like, if I'm a

304
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: BYU fan, I'm rooting like hell for Alabama and Georgia

305
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: this weekend.

306
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: Get Texas, get Oklahoma the hell out of there. Man. Yeah,

307
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: root for Pitt, Get Notre Dame out of there. You know.

308
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: So there's still I think a pretty good set of

309
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: scenarios that could get by into BYU into this thing.

310
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: All hope is not lost.

311
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: But got to take care of business, give yourself an

312
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: opportunity maybe as a Big twelve title contender, and if

313
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: nothing more, there are teams in front of you that

314
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: are probably going to lose. I do think style points

315
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: matter down the stretch. Is a big game coming up

316
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: next weekend on the road at Cincinnati that I think

317
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: will be really significant in this whole title chase, And

318
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: so it's still sort of there for BYU. If they

319
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: would play Texas Tech again, they would obviously need a

320
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: different result than what we saw right. I was gonna

321
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: say that could jumble things up as well if you

322
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: would beat Texas Tech the second time around, and Texas

323
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: Tech probably doesn't fall completely out. But this is going

324
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: like eight steps in the future. All I'm saying is

325
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: as opposed to the Miami conversation which we had before,

326
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: which is basically, you need teams in front of you

327
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: to lose or some crazy conference scenario to get you

328
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: into that title game. BYU actually has two ways in,

329
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: but it is getting late early. They need to take

330
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: care of business in order to accomplish one of them.

331
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Miami needs that like seven result parlay exactly. The

332
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: unfortunate thing for BYU is if they're making the national

333
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve championship game, it's likely against Texas Tech,

334
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: given Texas Tech schedule, and so that is a mountain

335
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: that they're going to need to quickly learn to climb

336
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: because Texas Tech finishes with I believe West Virginia and UCF.

337
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: Yes, it's very winnable. If you're a Texas Tech fan,

338
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: I think you're thrilled.

339
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: You're in a good spot. You'd have to have an

340
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: enormous letdown moment.

341
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And depending on how things go for Georgia

342
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: the remainder of the season, there is a likelihood that

343
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: Texas Tech could win the Big Twelve, could finish, you know,

344
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 2: one of those first four seeds. I don't think that's

345
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: completely out of the realm of possibility. If nothing more,

346
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: they could end up as a five seed and draw

347
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: the twelve, which right now they're projecting as USF. I

348
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: would project as USF as well. So if if you're

349
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: a Tech fan, it's everything's coming up Red Raiders right now,

350
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: and you got to feel pretty good about that. If

351
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: you're BYU fan, obviously there's still some work to be done,

352
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: but you do have multiple pathways in is all I'm saying.

353
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope we get Oregon, Notre Dame. It'd be

354
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: easy if there were. We have to go to that.

355
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: I think we have to I think we have to

356
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: go to that, right, So, I haven't been back to

357
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: Eugene in a number of years. Obviously, living in the

358
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: Chicago Burbs South Bend is very much drivable, and yeah,

359
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 1: just stay here. I think we would have to go

360
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: to that. We would have to go.

361
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: And by the way, I have been game planning and

362
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 2: trying to put together some scenarios, and I can come

363
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: up with about seven different ways that we do end

364
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: up with that game. Even though it's like way early

365
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: now and a lot's going to happen between now and then.

366
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: It there are a lot of possibilities that get us

367
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: that game, maybe not necessarily as an eight to nine,

368
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: but I could definitely see a couple different ways in

369
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: which we end up with that game.

370
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: I would love to I would love for that to happen.

371
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: So I'm in and I guess it is. It's sort

372
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: of we got to come up with a rhyming scheme here,

373
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: but like the race to be seated fifth begins now, right,

374
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: that's the move. It is how do you how do

375
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: you align your schedule and not schedule, but how do

376
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: you align your results? How do you what do you

377
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: pray for in terms of teams losing ahead of you?

378
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: Right now? You want to be an excellent team not

379
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: necessarily playing in a conference championship game. Yeah, that's pretty good.

380
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 2: So Organs lined up real nicely for that. Yeah, Organs

381
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: line up well for that. Or miss is like definitely

382
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 2: rate for that. Yeah, it's uh, it's gonna get it's

383
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 2: gonna get interesting. We will, of course be covering this

384
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: as closely as we can over the next.

385
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: Couple of weeks.

386
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the way through to the conclusion once we

387
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: have our playoff field set in stone, but.

388
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 1: Strive for five there it is. I like that. I

389
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: like that.

390
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: And by the way, there are a bunch of other

391
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: teams here that we need even mention that could find

392
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: a way to a lot of leaping ability kind of

393
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: like worm their way into this thing. You know, Georgia

394
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 2: Tech is nowhere to be found. Georgia Tech stands a

395
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: great chance of being in this playoff field if they

396
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: go on to win the ACC the game that we're

397
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 2: going to talk about here in just a little bit

398
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: between Duke and for Gina is going to have I

399
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: think an outsized impact in who that game features. I

400
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 2: don't want to give away the game too much. Why

401
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: don't we get into our picks.

402
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: By the way, Georgia Tech has a resume tent pole

403
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: as well. They absolutely do in a top five Georgia. Yeah,

404
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's let's make some picks, all right, Dan,

405
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: and time to speed test Saturday? Call in Dan, Yes, uh,

406
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: what's the connection? What's give me the sound one more time?

407
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: Anytime we can incorporate a bod modem sound on this show.

408
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: We gotta do it. Yeah, just it's a no brainer.

409
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: Gotta do it.

410
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: We previewed two games on Tuesday. We previewed the Notre

411
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: Dame Pit game. Previewed the Tech or Texas. Excuse me,

412
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm getting my Texas schools mixed up. Please forgive me. Yeah,

413
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: the Texas Georgia game as well. We have had about

414
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: forty eight hours now to sleep on those picks, to

415
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: offer any further insight, to mention any additional items, anything

416
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: for you on the Notre Dame Pit game.

417
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so Notre Dame Pit. Wise, on our previous show,

418
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: I sort of expressed more and more optimism about Notre

419
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: Dame's chances here, even on the road. The more I

420
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: dug in things that I don't love about PIT. Terrible

421
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: in the red zone both sides of the ball. And

422
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: that's okay if you're able to prevent explosives and generate

423
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: them offensively, which they've done a good job of doing.

424
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: They go three and out way too often. They give

425
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: up too many big plays, and so that's not a

426
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: great formula. And Notre Dame being explosive themselves, never going

427
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: three and out and being pretty good in the red zone.

428
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: I just I think it's a nice connection, by the way,

429
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: there it is. I like that.

430
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: By the way, we did not mention patn Ardozy's comments.

431
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: Patnerdozy was asked whether it's a must win game for PIT. Quote,

432
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 2: absolutely not. It's not an ACC game. I'm glad you

433
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: brought that up. It's not an ACC game. I'd gladly

434
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: get beat one hundred and three or one hundred and

435
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: ten to ten in this game. They could put up

436
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: one hundred on us as although we win the next

437
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: two after that.

438
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: Quote, So maybe that public messaging is not necessarily a

439
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: big confidence builder. Internally to say, like, let's lock in

440
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: and beat Notre Dame.

441
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: I mean speaking of reverse jinxes. Yeah, is he trying

442
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: to put like anti bulletin board material out there? Is

443
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: he trying to get in Notre Dame's head by going

444
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: so one on what other coaches normally would say in

445
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: this scenario.

446
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: It's it's an interesting tactic that you don't often see

447
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: in the middle of a season, in the middle of

448
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: a team trying to lock in for a stretch run

449
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: as they're caning for a conference crown. It's it's unusual.

450
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: I kind of love this, by the way, I kind

451
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 2: of love it where everybody is used to.

452
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: The answer when you say is this a must win?

453
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: Is this a big game?

454
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: And he's like, ah, maybe, but really we're good.

455
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: It's also like the idea of taking the weight of

456
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: the game off of your team's shoulders. Right that if

457
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: he's sensing that they're too tight ahead of Notre Dame

458
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: and he's trying to loosen the mood and loosen the

459
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 1: culture and say like let's just play football, well we'll

460
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: see what happens. Let's just go have fun. Right.

461
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: Also, he's not wrong, Actually.

462
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: No, he's not wrong. But again, this is an unusual

463
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: public declaration.

464
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 2: I understand that you don't normally say this. I understand

465
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: that this is certainly not if you're a Pit fan

466
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 2: listening to this. Yeah, this is not what you want

467
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: to hear. However, he is not wrong. If they lose

468
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: this game but then win the rest of them, Pitt

469
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 2: is in all likelihood playing.

470
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: For the a SEC Championship. Yeah.

471
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: So I hear what he's saying, And as a Notre

472
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: Dame fan, I do wonder if there is like some

473
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: unmentioned voodoo going on behind the scenes that is causing

474
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: him to say this. But Pitt at Home is a

475
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: eleven and one half point dog. I am still gonna

476
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: stick with Pitt because I have too much scar tissue

477
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: from this game in the past. Our friend Tim Murray

478
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: over at Viisin has texted with me this week and

479
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: has said a couple times over the line tells the story.

480
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: Listen to the line, even if you don't bet. The

481
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: line tells a story.

482
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: Tim. I hear you, you are not wrong.

483
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: I cannot bring myself to do it, So I go

484
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: Pit plus the eleven and a half. But I've got

485
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: Notre Dame winning by about seven.

486
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: And if there is a likely blowout, which direction is

487
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: it going?

488
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: If there is a likely blowout, it would probably be

489
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: Notre Dame blowing out Pitt.

490
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's where I'm leaning. I'm leaning comfortable Notre

491
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: Dame win.

492
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: You got anything else on Texas Georgia the revenge spot

493
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 2: for Texas, i'd.

494
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: I still like Georgia. I said it was between like

495
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: seven and nine points. I believe somewhere in there. The

496
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: spread is around six six and a half depending on

497
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: where you look. Third downs when Texas has the ball. Okay,

498
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: Texas has been extremely average on third down. Georgia has

499
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: been extremely average defending third downs. This is sort of

500
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: like the movable force moveable. I'm gonna get that wrong time.

501
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: But you know where I'm going with that. I do.

502
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: I do the idea of Texas on the road, just

503
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: figuring out ways to find seeing eye singles on third downs,

504
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: whether it's with Arch's legs, whether it's baking in a

505
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: number of easy throws, especially early on on third downs,

506
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: to take the crowd out of it a little bit.

507
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm extremely excited to see how Texas and

508
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: Georgia handle. So it's Texas finding ways to stay on

509
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: the field. It doesn't have to be pretty, and Georgia

510
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: finding ways to make it unpretty. Shout out TLC for

511
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: Texas on third down. That to me is the big

512
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: deal because this we talked about this a little, that

513
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: george is not a big you know, edge rush, pass rush,

514
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: pressure team. That's not how their defense is built necessarily.

515
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: But if Georgia finds ways to confuse, to spy, whatever

516
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: they need to do to get this defense off the field,

517
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be huge. I have something

518
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: to add, please. I received an email dan uh Oh

519
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Caleb from Kansas City. I've been a huge Texas fan

520
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: for the last twenty ish years, following after my dad.

521
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: I had been growing my hair out since COVID with

522
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: trims here and there, but finally donated over fourteen inches

523
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: to Locks of Love. I am cashing in this donation

524
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: in hopes of breaking the Georgia curse. Now.

525
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: He did not offer an actual receipt, but he did

526
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: send me a before and after photo.

527
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: Dan, Okay, how did it turn out? Block of the week.

528
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 2: I was already going this way, but Caleb gives me

529
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: even more impetus to play the sound Georgia minus six

530
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 2: Man of the Week. Sorry George Lock, Sorry George, Now listen. Yeah,

531
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: the thought dawned on me while I was in the

532
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: shower before hitting go on this.

533
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: If we keep going on this path where the reverse.

534
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: Jinx actually works, and I mean it has worked truly,

535
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: I gotta make sure I got a double bolted door

536
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: that the mob doesn't come in here and try to

537
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: brough me up. I got to protect myself from some

538
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 2: fan bases out there.

539
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: Like we are. We are dealing with some true dark

540
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: arts here. Are there a lot? Is there a lot

541
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: of mafia activity in the Lehigh Valley.

542
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: No matter where you go. Okay, so let's just I'm

543
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: proceeding with caution. I don't want to flaunt this, but

544
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: since Caleb was charitable with his fourteen inches of hair,

545
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: I thought I could reciprocate. Here we're locking up Georgia.

546
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: By the way, we did get another message from somebody else,

547
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: another gentleman who donated a wonderful head of hair to

548
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: Locks of Love as well. He wanted me to jinx

549
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 2: notre dame. I'm not going to do that, but I

550
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: am going to send him that's just a consolation prize.

551
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: Let's say yeah, to kind of reward his charitable efforts.

552
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: I love that we.

553
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: Got a couple other games here that we need to preview.

554
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: Let's start at three point thirty on ABC. This is

555
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: number eleven Oklahoma. It's number four Alabama. Alabama is a

556
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 2: six point home favorite. My initial gut was to go Alabama,

557
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 2: which was my cue to look a little harder at

558
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: Oklahoma fair. Oklahoma was off last week, as you know,

559
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: so they got the rest advantage. I don't know if

560
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: there is a letdown situation that exists for Alabama after

561
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: beating LSU, but I do think that's a possibility. This

562
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: is a game in Tuscaloosa, which is of course a

563
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: plus for the Crimson Tide. Yeap, what gave me cause

564
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: for pause the favorite pet charity. In my opinion, this

565
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: is the best defense on Alabama's schedule by a clear margin. Okay,

566
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: and Bama's a fairly one dimensional passing offense.

567
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: You know. I like Ty Simpson.

568
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: I saw Dan Brugler from over at the Athletic hasm

569
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: as QB one makes sense in the twenty twenty six

570
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: NFL Draft. There's obviously been a lot to like about Simpson.

571
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: There's obviously been a lot to like about this passing offense,

572
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: but I do not love the matchup of a one

573
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: dimensional offense against a Brent Venables defense, a defense, bhind

574
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: you that is fairly blitz heavy, very zone heavy. I

575
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: think he tries to speed up ty Simpson. I think

576
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: he tries to confuse ty Simpson. So with all that

577
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: being said, the big question on my side is whether

578
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: Oklahoma can create pressure with those blitzes in a way

579
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: that at like, for example, LS, you couldn't you know,

580
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: LS use an even heavier blitzing offense or defense. Excuse me,

581
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: And they only got pressure about half the time because

582
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: the Bama line is really good in pass protection. But

583
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 2: if you can pressure him, the numbers go way down.

584
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: He's not turning the ball over, but the numbers go down.

585
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: Like any quarterback college football, you actually get pressure on them.

586
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: Completion percentage, some of the other stats that we chart,

587
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: that stuff tends to go down. How do you feel

588
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: about this one? Is this something that Oklahoma can do

589
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: with great success?

590
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: I think somewhat. The Alabama offensive line has been inconsistent.

591
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: At times, they look dominant, obviously sort of opening things

592
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: up for a rushing attack, which I don't think is

593
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: on the offensive line specifically, but it's on you know,

594
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: the connection between the offensive line and the coaching staff

595
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: and what kind of priority the rushing attack has within

596
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: this offense. This is this is something that I've looked

597
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: at for this game. Georgia on the road, Vanderbilt Miszoo

598
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: on the road, Tennessee, South Carolina on the road, and

599
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: then there's a bye and then the LSU game. There

600
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: have been no weeks off for Alabama. It seemed like

601
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: the South Carolina game might be all things considered, Bama

602
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: needed a borderline miracle to win that game. And so

603
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: you talk about legs, you talk about speed, you talk about,

604
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, having it for the home stretch. I think

605
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: Alabama does. I kind of also think Oklahoma does. Like

606
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: if the Oklahoma defense may be the best thing in

607
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: this game, if John Matier is getting healthier, if that

608
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: hand is getting healthier, the thumb is getting healthier by

609
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: the week, I thought They're win at Tennessee was one

610
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: of the better wins of the season in the sports.

611
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: The loss to Ole Miss isn't great, but there is

612
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: something about Oklahoma in this specific spot. Alabama and second

613
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: halves has not been all that impressive on offense, and

614
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: you're adding that as you mentioned that singular dimension to

615
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: what Oklahoma's defense faces. I think it comes down to

616
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: a couple of drives late, and so I'm happy to

617
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: take the points, first of all, and then second of all,

618
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: to what degree do I like Oklahoma outright do? I'm

619
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: not happy to just take points. I think this is

620
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: going to be a folk hero game for Jeometer. I

621
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: have Oklahoma winning this game twenty three to twenty. Wow.

622
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: And it's just the like the number of games in

623
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: a row for Alabama, the lack of rushing black of

624
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: being able to win this game in multiple ways. The

625
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: second half lulls for Alabama. Not that Oklahoma's putting forty

626
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: five on teams, but you know, they struggle with Leonora's

627
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 1: sellers a little bit. And I don't think Oklahoma has

628
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: a receiver who's capable of having a big play moment

629
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: like Nick Harbor had in that Bama game. But there

630
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: is just something about this spot when it's happening. Oklahoma's

631
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: defense on the road, on the road, look at you.

632
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: They did it against Tennessee. They were much more impresive

633
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: against South Carolina on the road than Bama was Yeah,

634
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: I think Bama's really really good, but I don't think

635
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: they are unbeatable anywhere. So I'm going Oklahoma out right here.

636
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: Bill Connelly just posted a piece out at ESPN dot com.

637
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: Might have been earlier today or late yesterday, I'm not

638
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: sure exactly when it went off. And Oklahoma has been running,

639
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: by the way, they've been running a lot. They've been

640
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: running better. They absolutely been running better. Bill's peace was

641
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: ranking quarterbacks across college football. One of the nuggets that

642
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: he included about ty Simpson was just like a line graph,

643
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: and he was showing how there have been Actually, even

644
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: though ty Simpson has been very good, the returns on

645
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: the passing game have been diminishing over the last like

646
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: six games or so. And so I harken back to

647
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: what I said at the very top of this. Of

648
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: the defenses on the schedule, Oklahoma is not only like

649
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: maybe the best, but right now they are the best

650
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: at getting pressure with their blitz and just getting pressure

651
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: in general. I think ty Simpson is going to see

652
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: a bunch of different stuff against this Oklahoma defense, and

653
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a real test for him. I

654
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: think it'll be a real test for this line. The

655
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: other thing worth considering, And forgive me if you mentioned

656
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: this already. This is like a must win spot for Oklahoma.

657
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: You know, there's seven and two, they're eleventh in the

658
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: playoff rankings. You lose this one, you get the three losses,

659
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 2: your hopes going up and smoke. They're not going to

660
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 2: win the big or they're not going to win the

661
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 2: big prize in the SEC and not gonna win the conference.

662
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: But there's still a I think a pretty good chance

663
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 2: they could find the way into the playoff.

664
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: But they gotta win games like this. Yeah, I think

665
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 1: they are good.

666
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: Enough on defense to make this ugly. I think they

667
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: are tough enough on offense to keep this one close.

668
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: I've got a twenty three to twenty one final, also

669
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: in favor of the Oklahoma Sooners.

670
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: Oh man, Ty, what are we doing out here? I'm

671
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: congratultions Tobama. Congratulations Bama. I've got Oklahoma outright. I'm with

672
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: you on this one. Yeah. Look, though they have a

673
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: loss with Jah Matier and his throwing finger, throwing thumb

674
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: whatever to Texas where he threw three picks, I just

675
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it works out well for

676
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: ou and I apologize Tobama now on your behalf, or

677
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: not apologize. I apologize to Oklahoma on your behalf for

678
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: picking them. Congratulate Bama. Yeah, congratulations.

679
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: Let's go to three thirty Big Ten Network number twenty one,

680
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 2: Iowa number seventeen. USC USC favored by six and one

681
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: a half points.

682
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: This game's a bit of a letdown look ahead sandwich.

683
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: Oh luka, don sandwich. I'm so hungry. I'm so hungry.

684
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 2: It's just not the normal kind of letdown look ahead sandwich.

685
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 2: Oh okay, because it's a letdown for Iowa after almost

686
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 2: beating Oregon last week, it's certainly a look ahead spot

687
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 2: for USC with Oregon on deck next week on the road.

688
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it's a sandwich for us. S.

689
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. But for us, we'll take

690
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: a ranked college football playoff pole team. Seriously.

691
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, for us as passive observers, this is a little

692
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 2: bit of a letdown look ahead quality to it. But

693
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: this game's a Sudoku puzzle for me. Man, I don't

694
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 2: even know where to start. I don't like USC's offense

695
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 2: is incredible. There's still the number one S and P

696
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: plus offense. Iowa has the number six S and P

697
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: plus defense. They've already proven themselves more than capable of

698
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: holding down a really good offense, as they did against

699
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: Indiana several weeks ago, as they did last week against

700
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: Oregon in a monsoon. By the way, there is also

701
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: monsoon possibilities for this game. Is it full monsoon or

702
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 2: just rain? I didn't look at the nam the official

703
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: Oh that's okay. Yeah, the official forecast is periods of rain,

704
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 2: with rainfall potentially totally one inch.

705
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: In the span when this game is happening. I believe so.

706
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 2: Not at night, earlier in the day, I believe, Yes,

707
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 2: I believe so.

708
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna underthink this game, what would your

709
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: your brains tell you.

710
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: If I were gonna underthink this game?

711
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't dig in, just think about it. See.

712
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: My problem is I always underthink the games where I

713
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 2: see a really good offense and a really good defense,

714
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: and I always side with the offense. You side with

715
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 2: the offense, Okay, yeah, so me underthinking it in the past,

716
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: not to give too much away, in the past, I

717
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: would underthink this and I would say, us, he's gonna

718
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: kill him.

719
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't think us he's gonna kill him. I almost

720
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: think Iowa this season against their opponents, I just don't

721
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be blown out by anybody. I think

722
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: they run the ball well enough this year. The offense

723
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: is not catastrophic. The passing game is catastrophic. Passing game

724
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: is non existent. But they run the ball really well

725
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: this year, and that's both because of the running backs

726
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: and because of Mark Ronowski and USC gettable on the ground.

727
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty sixth in defensive success rate against

728
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 2: the run.

729
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say so. Michigan was not able to

730
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: do it. Michigan's one of the better rushing teams. Iowa

731
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 1: is a different team on the road, it seems this year,

732
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: and USC is a different team at home, it seems

733
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: this year. I like USC to win this game, and

734
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: I think it's just a math problem. To me. I

735
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: don't see how Iowa scores twenty points, and I don't

736
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: see universe in which USC doesn't score twenty points. I

737
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: think there are too many ways. Look, King Miller got

738
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: beat up. I think he had a stinger who's been

739
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: good at running back for USC. I think they have

740
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: the best offensive player in this game in Makay lemon Us,

741
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: he does. I think they have the more varied number

742
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: of more varied number. They have a more varied offense,

743
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: they can succeed in more ways USC can. And defensively,

744
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: why keep two safeties super deep? Right? You can stack

745
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: box against Iowa and i as creatively scored points. But

746
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: on the road this year, you know, Rutgers scores like

747
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: thirty points. They lose to Iowa State. They just haven't

748
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: been the same team on the road. They're now traveling

749
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: a good distance in a letdown spot. I think I

750
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: have what did I write down here? I think USC

751
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: twenty four to seventeen, So I guess that's barely covering.

752
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: I have twenty one nineteen, oh, okay in favor of USC,

753
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna I'm gonna paint a very specific scenario

754
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: for the verbawler hood twenty one thirteen late Iowa scores

755
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: on a Mark Kronowski touchdown, they go for two to

756
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 2: tie it and they come up short.

757
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: That's how you get to twenty one nineteen, twenty one

758
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: nineteen okay. So yeah, I have twenty four to seventeen.

759
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: Maybe a busted player too for Iowa, like we saw

760
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: last week against Oregon. I think they're gonna be able

761
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: to run the ball some, but USC will tighten up

762
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: in the second half like like they did and have

763
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: done sometimes defensively. So yeah, I have USC here, even

764
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: in the rain. I think they figure out a way

765
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: and saying send Lincoln Riley off to Baylor or whatever

766
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: and good standing. Yeah, I mean, I think Iowa is good.

767
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: Enough on defense to hold down USC's offense. And I

768
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: just I agree completely with what you had to say,

769
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: almost all of it verbatim.

770
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 1: They're just they're not.

771
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: Going to get blown out, not with this defense, Okay,

772
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 2: And I don't think they're gonna win out right, but

773
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: I do think this ends up being a knife fight

774
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 2: to the death. So you know where I stand. Twenty

775
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: one to thirteen late Iowa won the late touchdown run.

776
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: I do think they'll be able to run some YEP

777
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: on this USC defense because USC is not good at

778
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: stopping the run.

779
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: YEP should point out Iowa did beat Wisconsin on the

780
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 1: road thirty seven nothing, so against teams with an offense,

781
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: Iowa hasn't been incredible. Against teams without an offense, Iowa's

782
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: been terrific on terrific. Yeah, so we agree again, Well

783
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: you have IOWA covering, you don't have IOA covering. What

784
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: do you now? Twenty four to seventeen? So what is that?

785
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: Is that USC suff having half a point? Okay, yes

786
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: we disagree. Well we got another three thirty game. Three

787
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: thirty is a very active block, this one on ESPN

788
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 2: two if you can watch it. I don't know what

789
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 2: the deal is with this. You could probably pirate this

790
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 2: game and get away with it. Number nineteen Virginia on

791
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 2: the Road at Duke. Duke is favored by five and

792
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 2: one half points this game. As I said at the top,

793
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 2: as I've been saying for three weeks running, now, this

794
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: game is going to help us solve the ongoing riddle

795
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: that is the ACC. So again, the winner of this

796
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: game wins out, there is a near certainty that they

797
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 2: will get into that ACC championship game against Georgia Tech

798
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: or Pitt or SMU. Louisville could stick still creep in there.

799
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: We talked about Miami still finding a way to creep

800
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: in there if you hit the seven game parlay or whatever.

801
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: The big unknown at time of.

802
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 2: Recording, and again we're doing this Wednesday at midday. Chandler

803
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: Morris for Virginia.

804
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: Yes Channel.

805
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: Morris went down last week came out of the game

806
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 2: in the first half of last week. Initially, it was

807
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: described as a head and neck injury. Tony Elliott referred

808
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 2: to it as an upper body injury when he talked

809
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: about Chandler Morris yesterday, but also mentioned he's going through protocol,

810
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: which would imply concussion. I have no idea what's wrong

811
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 2: with Chandler Morris right. Tony Elliott, though, did sound optimistic.

812
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: They didn't have him practicing on Tuesday, mentioned that they

813
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 2: hoped to get him back on Wednesday, maybe even Thursday.

814
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: So we're just going to have to.

815
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: Wait and see on this one. The uncertainty around Chandler

816
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 2: Morris is at least why partially why let's say sixty

817
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 2: five percent of the bets right now and eighty five

818
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 2: percent of the money eighty three percent of the money.

819
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: Excuse me, is on Duke, do you.

820
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: Prefer the Blue Devils who are crazy explosive on offense

821
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: and have a terrible deen in my dad, or do

822
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: you prefer the Who's which have an offense, which have

823
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: a defense that are just slightly above.

824
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: Average, you know, I mean, the defense is pretty good

825
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: for Virginia, But is it good enough to carry them

826
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: against Duke If they're not able to get to twenty

827
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: points to seventeen points or something like that, I kind

828
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: of have my doubts. Yeah. See, that's see.

829
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: I have problems with games like this where you've got

830
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: one team that's on the extreme yes end of offense,

831
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: no end of defense, right versus House seems a school

832
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 2: like yeah, half team versus a school like Virginia, which

833
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: is just sort of like.

834
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: Blase.

835
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: You know, they're not super sexy. I don't mean they're

836
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 2: not good, they're blase. I think they're quality. I don't

837
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: mean to apply they're not good. They're they're certainly quality.

838
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is from a number standpoint, you

839
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: look at it and you're like, oh, they're like forty

840
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 2: fifth best, Okay, Like it's it.

841
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: You don't have the extremes like you do on the

842
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: Duke side of things. Virginia rush is the passer very

843
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: very well. They play the pass very well. The thing

844
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: you need to understand, I think that I need to

845
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: understand or reinforce whatever, is that Virginia's played against some

846
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: very bad offenses. Right. I think some of these numbers

847
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: are a little bit inflated. You know, Wazoo and North Carolina,

848
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: cal Wake Forest, and against some of the better offenses

849
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: that they did play, they gave up points, they gave

850
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: up plays Florida State, Louisville, you know they won those games.

851
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: They give up thirty five to NC State, which has

852
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: a quality offense. Like if the Duke offense is quality,

853
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna score twenty eight thirty one points. And if

854
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: you're giving them short possessions three and outs, you know,

855
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: five and out whatever, and your defense is getting worn

856
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: down over the course of this game is scoring thirty

857
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: eight points. So I'm going to underthink this and say

858
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: thirty to seventeen. Now, Also, look, you're thrusting a backup

859
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: quarterback into action like Virginia did last week in a

860
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: losing effort against a tough defense, and that's tough to

861
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: immediately be good and fully realize. It's Daniel Kalin, that's

862
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: who came in. Yep, so he'll if he is the Yeah, well,

863
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's preparing like he's going to be the guy.

864
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: Depending on Chandler Morris's availability, he should be better because

865
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: he will have more experience, he'll have more practice reps,

866
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: and the Duke defense has been very bad this year,

867
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: so the opportunity is there for him to improve, and

868
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: so I don't want to discount that possibility. But in

869
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: this case, with it being at Duke, with Duke having

870
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: that path, I'm gonna go Duke care thirty to twenty.

871
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm covering.

872
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm on Duke thirty four to twenty three.

873
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: Okay.

874
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: I like the UVA story more than I like Uva,

875
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 2: you know, I like the idea of Virginia more than

876
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 2: I like the team.

877
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: And they have it been blowing out those teams that

878
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: I just mentioned. No, I mean, there's been a lot

879
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 1: of close games on this thing. It's sneaking by Wazoo,

880
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: sneaking by North Carolina. Cal was comfortable and of course,

881
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, scoring nine points against Wake Forest. I you know,

882
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a great story the Virginia season. Just

883
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: like you.

884
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 2: It's a fabulous story. And I got to give Tony

885
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 2: Elliott a ton of credit for it. But I just

886
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: I compare the numbers, and I've watched, you know, enough

887
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: of both of these teams. At this point you could

888
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 2: probably make a case that there are some big plays

889
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 2: out there for Virginia because Duke gives up a lot

890
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: of them. But also, Virginia is not really a big

891
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 2: play offense, you know, it's not really what they do.

892
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: Well.

893
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: If I saw more indications that they could do that

894
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 2: consistently than I would say, that's obviously something that could

895
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: come back to bite Duke. Duke has done a really

896
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: good job this year shooting itself in the foot, and

897
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 2: we can't rule out the fact that maybe Duke will

898
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: find a couple of those in this game the gift

899
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: wrap to Virginia and give them a few extra opportunities.

900
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: I think they probably will. It's just will that be

901
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 2: something that Virginia can capitalize on? Will Channeler Morris be

902
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: out there to help them capitalize on it? So I

903
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 2: too much uncertainty for me. Virginia has felt for a

904
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: while like an LRO team where the luck's going to

905
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 2: run out. We did see the luck run out against

906
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 2: wake Forest. Maybe it was partially because of injury, who knows.

907
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 2: But I do like Duke a little bit more in

908
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 2: this moment thirty four to twenty three, I think is

909
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 2: where I'm at. Okay, so we agree, we agree, let's

910
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 2: go rapid fire through I don't even know how many games.

911
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 2: These are might be a dozen games or so. Yep,

912
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: High Noon on Fox, number eighteen Michigan and eleven and

913
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 2: a half point road favorite against Northwestern. They are playing

914
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: this game in Wrigley Field, Dan Rubenstein, are you're taking

915
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: the boys?

916
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: Go into not taking the boys? I know a ton

917
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: of people. I gotta watch a lot of games. I

918
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: think there are birthday parties, maybe a basketball game. I

919
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't keep track time. We've got a

920
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: schedule for this Wriggly will be maze and blue. There

921
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: will be some purple, but it will be largely Maze

922
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: in blue. There's a huge population of Michigan people here.

923
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: It will be a u not a de facto home game,

924
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: but a comfortable experience for Michigan people for them to

925
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: watch Northwestern cover the spread in this game. Wins are

926
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: swirling at about twin ty miles an hour time woo breezy.

927
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: You've watched Cubs games, you know how it is it wrigularly,

928
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: you've watched Northwestern games, you know how it is. I

929
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 1: think there is going to be something to Michigan. Michigan

930
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: hasn't had like a late season swoon or something like that.

931
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: But this is not a team that has taken care

932
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: of business efficiently, especially not on the road. Northwestern is

933
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 1: going to look too shorten this game like they should,

934
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: so I just think it's going to be low scoring,

935
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: and I think it's too many points to give in

936
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: a low scoring affair. Michigan. How many points better was

937
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: Michigan than Perdue? Five points better than Perdue? I think

938
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: Michigan is a pretty good team, but I don't think

939
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: they're going to blow out a team in Wrigley that

940
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: is looking to get to a bowl game, that is

941
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: still playing with fire. So I'm going to say Northwestern

942
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: keeps it within seven to ten points. Let's call it

943
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: twenty three sixteen Michigan. Yeah, I've got it.

944
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 2: Twenty four to fourteen Michigan.

945
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they win. I think they cover.

946
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 2: Let's go to another game at high noon, FS one.

947
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: This is Arizona on the road at number twenty two Cincinnati.

948
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 2: Cincinnati favored by six and a half points. And while

949
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 2: you give your pick for this game, Dan, I'm gonna

950
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 2: briefly jolt off screen and turn off the space heater

951
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 2: that I have because I am I am sweating bullets

952
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 2: in here right now, I'm afraid to put my arms

953
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 2: up for fear that I've got a whole thing like

954
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: pity's going on. So please give me your pick here,

955
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 2: and I need to like give myself a little bit

956
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 2: of relief.

957
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: This is Yeah. If you're watching on YouTube, it looks

958
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: like Tis being interrogated, like he's under the lamp and

959
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,720
Speaker 1: he's like, I wasn't at that salon that Holy crap,

960
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: is it hot in here? Continue? I'm sorry. I like

961
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati season, not like Arizona season quite a bit. I

962
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: actually think Arizona covers this game. I think Arizona's defense.

963
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,760
Speaker 1: You saw Brendan Storesby struggle with confusion and turnovers against Utah,

964
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: a game in which Cincinnati had opportunity, and I think

965
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: it was something twenty four to fourteen, kind of deep

966
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: into the game, and then Utah just busted it open. Arizona,

967
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: I think is gonna make things chaotic enough in a

968
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: nooner to keep this one closed. I think Cincinnati escapes,

969
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: but I think it's close.

970
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 2: I am with you on Arizona, and I also think

971
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 2: that there's a little bit of a look ahead situation

972
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 2: going on here. Cincinnati's got a big one on deck

973
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 2: against BYU, and this is an easy game to overlook.

974
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 2: Arizona is an easy team to overlook. But bear in mind,

975
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 2: if Arizona wins out, they finish nine and three, which

976
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: would be a huge success story a year after going

977
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 2: four and eight, where there was some speculation about firing

978
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 2: Brent Brennan.

979
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: YEP.

980
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 2: So Arizona is just as good of a story, if

981
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 2: not better than many of the other teams that are

982
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: getting way more love across college football. I have to

983
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 2: credit Brent Brennan for the job that he has done

984
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 2: so far this year, and Danniganzalez by Way and Danny

985
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 2: on defense, they're very good on defense, especially against the pass.

986
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 2: I can only assume they brought in forty three UTEP

987
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 2: transfers and they brought in the correct forty three.

988
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: Everybody's got like forty three UTEP transfers.

989
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 2: Yes, but this is the reason why I put this

990
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 2: one on the under the radar slate when we talked

991
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 2: about these games on Tuesday.

992
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's juice to this one. There's real juice.

993
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 2: So give me Arizona plus six and a half YEP,

994
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 2: twelve forty five. Because the SEC and SEC network like

995
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 2: to be a little bit different. This is Arkansas on

996
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 2: the road at LSULSU, favored by five and one half points. Dan, Look,

997
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: there aren't huge stakes attached to this one. I just

998
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,919
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be fun. I think this is gonna

999
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: be a fun game. I think this could be the

1000
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 2: week that LSU finally gets to thirty points against an

1001
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 2: FBS team.

1002
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I think you're right. I also think Arkansas

1003
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: is winning this game. Hoggs lock of the week? Whoa baby? Okay,

1004
00:51:55,640 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: luck of the week? Where are you going Arkansas here?

1005
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's something about the times, Ty. The

1006
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: times just seem ripe for Arkansas right here, with LSU

1007
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: dealing with quarterback change potentially. I haven't seen the latest

1008
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: on Nussmeyer MVB, but everything off the field happening at LSU.

1009
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: The offense looking listless for long stretches, to the point

1010
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: where they had to bench the quarterback against Alabama. Not

1011
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: that Arkansas offers anything defensively, but I think Arkansas should

1012
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball. I think Taylor Green

1013
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: should be able to make plays. This is an out

1014
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: This is a game that has had outcomes that are

1015
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: inexplicable over the years. I'm going to Arkansas to win

1016
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: this one thirty four to thirty one.

1017
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to go LSU thirty one twenty four. Okay,

1018
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 2: I think LSU wins and covers. But look, it's going

1019
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 2: to be an entertaining game one way or the other.

1020
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 1: I agree. And by the way, Arkansas has played good

1021
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: teams tough this year outside of Notre Dame, in which

1022
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: I think I liked Arkansas.

1023
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Road, I like Darkansas. I like Darkansas too.

1024
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: This is true. So Arkansas is coming off of a

1025
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: bye on the road this year. Arkansas tight against Ole Miss,

1026
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: tight against Memphis which they should have won both of

1027
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: those games, perhaps tight against Tennessee. And here we are

1028
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: now at LSU in the midst of a lot of uncertainty.

1029
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to another game of high noon ESPN two.

1030
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 2: This is number twenty four South Florida. This is unranked Navy.

1031
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 2: South Florida is a ten and one half point road favorite.

1032
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 2: Navy won this game a year ago twenty eight to seven.

1033
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: I believe that was a game without Byron Brown on

1034
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 2: the USF side. I like USF a lot. Here, you too,

1035
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 2: A lot pains me now with you saying I know

1036
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm expecting that Blake Horvots is going to be back

1037
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: for Navy. He was a game time decision last week.

1038
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 2: I would think if you give him a week to recover,

1039
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: he'll have an opportunity to play here against the Bulls.

1040
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that for sure. That's just me making

1041
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: an assumption. Notre Dame moved the ball at will at

1042
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 2: will against Navy, and more specifically for this game. I

1043
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: don't think the Navy defense has what it takes to

1044
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 2: contain Byron Brown, who can run. He is the leading

1045
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 2: rusher for USF. He also can throw it, and they've

1046
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 2: got a really good cast of characters out wide. Yeah,

1047
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 2: so I'm looking for a lot of shots downfield. I

1048
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 2: don't think Navy has what it takes to go toe

1049
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 2: to toe with this South Florida team, and I think

1050
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 2: they win this one going away.

1051
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: I like them a lot. I think I do too.

1052
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: The noon thing worries me a little bit. Obviously, Annapolis

1053
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: can be a bit of a trap for a lot

1054
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: of programs, but yeah, I don't think they have the

1055
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: defense to get off the field and sort of inflict

1056
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: pain via the offense, and South Florida's played the run

1057
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: really well this year. Todd Orlando has done a good job.

1058
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: So I'm going USF here by I don't know, seventeen.

1059
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 2: For PM ESPNU if he and find the network on

1060
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 2: whatever your streaming thing is. Memphis at ECU, Yeah.

1061
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: ECU favored by three.

1062
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 2: They are whisper quiet and six and three this season.

1063
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 2: They play at an absolutely blistering pace. They are tops

1064
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 2: in all of FBS in plays per game on offense eighty.

1065
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: Damn, which is a lot. That is a lot of plays.

1066
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 2: They've also got a solid defense. Their issue is giving

1067
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 2: up big plays. They've been giving up a lot of

1068
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 2: them this year. The question for you is is this

1069
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 2: a situation where Memphis is licking their wounds after losing

1070
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 2: to Tulane a week ago. We also saw earlier in

1071
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 2: the year a very clear look ahead loss when they

1072
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: lost to UAB and they were looking ahead to a

1073
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 2: big game with USF, which they did win. By the way,

1074
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 2: I think there's a possibility we could see a real

1075
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 2: letdown here on the road at ECU.

1076
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: What do you think? I went back and forth in

1077
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 1: this one. I like that ECU is led by their defense.

1078
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: The game is at home. My problem is ECU kind

1079
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: of can only win in a very specific way. I

1080
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: don't like when. I mean, it's it's smart to rely

1081
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: on tempo. Like you said, they play very quickly, but

1082
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to generate bigger plays, so the

1083
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: tempo sort of acts as a way to give a

1084
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: boost to this offense. Yes, I just think Memphis has

1085
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: more ways to win, and I think I trust their

1086
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: quarterback situation a little bit more, even though it's on

1087
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: the road here, I'm going to Memphis seven pm ESPN.

1088
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: Is this gonna be Laye Kiffen playing against this future

1089
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: team Dan? You know, I kind of hope so, because

1090
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 1: I would love some spice added to this coaching carousel.

1091
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd be great if Lane Kiffin were to

1092
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: stay in Oxford and say I got it good here.

1093
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 1: He's been on the record of saying he's not gonna

1094
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: make a decision for money, so I think he's got

1095
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: it good at Ole Miss. I think, if I had

1096
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: to guess, I think he's gonna stay at Ole Miss.

1097
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: But it's just a guess, but certainly it's on the table.

1098
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: He didn't give a like an answer of nope, I'm

1099
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: happy where I am. I'm gonna be back here next

1100
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: year if they'll have me. He said something like I'm

1101
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: not even thinking about it, Like I'm going to think

1102
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: about that another day. It's like some version of that

1103
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here. I think ole Miss rips him apart.

1104
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: Before last week, I would have told you, you know,

1105
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: Florida's not great. They're not well coached, the offense isn't

1106
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: called well, but they compete. They've got good players. It's

1107
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: really tough to blow this Florida team out because they're

1108
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: two talented in too many spots. Then they got blown

1109
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,919
Speaker 1: out by Kentucky. Yes, and I think I'm just out

1110
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: on this Florida season in terms of salvaging relevance. It's

1111
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: also a revenge spot for ole Miss. Obviously, Jackson Dart

1112
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: no longer on the team, but the way that game

1113
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: ended last year, I could see Lane being particularly locked in.

1114
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: So I have ole Miss here thirty five seventeen.

1115
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 2: The line is sixteen and a half points in favor

1116
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 2: of ole Miss. It does sound like DJ Lagway is

1117
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 2: going to get the start. Remember he got unceremoniously benched

1118
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 2: a week ago. Saw that in that game against Kentucky.

1119
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 2: I think Florida could be the one, two three can

1120
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,439
Speaker 2: kun team of the month, Like, I wonder what their

1121
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 2: motivation is here to really go hard at any of

1122
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 2: these opponents. I'm with you on Old Miss. I am

1123
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: with you on Old Miss. I don't know if Lane's

1124
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 2: going to Florida. I don't know if anybody is going anywhere.

1125
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 2: As we've been recording this today, I see news out

1126
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 2: there from Chris Lowe, from Brett McMurphy and Pete Nakos

1127
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 2: that Louisville is working on a contract extension for Jeff Brohm.

1128
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 2: So nobody's going anywhere. So yeah, it could be that

1129
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 2: nobody is going anywhere. And if you threw your hat

1130
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: in the ring trying to hire a big coach away

1131
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 2: from somebody else, you might to have to take a

1132
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 2: high profile coordinator.

1133
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's what's Penn State's interim Terry Smith? Terry Smith? Yeah,

1134
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: new head coach? Don't think so.

1135
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, but stranger things have happened and could happen. Okay,

1136
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: seven pm, ESPN two Utah minus eight on the road

1137
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 2: at Baylor. Do we have a reason to pick Baylor here?

1138
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 2: To you?

1139
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what kind of de facto

1140
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl situation. It is for Baylor. You can bring

1141
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: up their schedule, but no, Utah is coming off a

1142
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: bye correct. Utah is off of bye week. Yeah, I

1143
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: think I like Utah a good amount. Here. I think

1144
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: Baylor season has been a mess after I think a

1145
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: somewhat promising start. Yeah, I'm gonna go Utah here. I

1146
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: think they're just too well coached, too locked in. I

1147
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: think they're straight at Baylor. They're gonna run all over them.

1148
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna run all over them. They're gonna win by

1149
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: fourteen points. Yeah. I wrote down thirty five to twenty one,

1150
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: and twenty one might be too many to give to

1151
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Baylor in this spots, maybe even like thirty eight seventeen.

1152
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 2: I will probably probably post at some point on Saturday

1153
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 2: morning that I am making Utah one of my bets

1154
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: of the week. Okay, so take note everyone. I went

1155
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 2: zero to four a week ago, I went three and

1156
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 2: one the week before. There's a pretty good chance that

1157
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: you should bet on Baylor. This is a public service

1158
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: that we're doing here. I have no ego about this.

1159
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 2: By the way, Baylor to be right, but if I

1160
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 2: can help other people make money, then so be it.

1161
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Whatever. So Baylor the second half of Baylor's season since

1162
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: like a not great performance on defense against what Oklahoma

1163
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: State gave up nearly thirty points. Yeah, so they were

1164
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: right there against a healthy ish ASU team and lost.

1165
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: Beat Kansas State with a weird ending. We're back and

1166
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: forth with TCU and a loss destroyed by Cincinnati. You know,

1167
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: three touchdown loss. Offense was not good at all against

1168
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Cincinnati on the road, and then they just demolish UCF.

1169
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Maybe not out of nowhere, but they're also coming off

1170
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: of a buye so maybe something happened before that UCF game.

1171
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1172
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to seven forty five on SEC

1173
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 2: network because they like to be a little bit different.

1174
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll be able to watch this game.

1175
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, Mississippi State on the road at Missoo Miszoo

1176
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 2: favored by seven and a half points.

1177
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Bit of a.

1178
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 2: Letdown look ahead situation maybe for Missoo had the A

1179
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: and M game a week ago, they got a Oklahoma

1180
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 2: on deck. I also think it's worth noting Mississippi State's

1181
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 2: gonna be super up for this game because they only

1182
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 2: need one more win to get Bowl eligible.

1183
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: They got two left It's true.

1184
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 2: This one on the road against Miszoo. They close out

1185
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 2: the year Egg Bowl at home against Ole Miss. Seven

1186
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 2: and a half is the points bread, Dan, who do

1187
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 2: you got?

1188
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: I actually like Missoo here ooh. I like Miszoo here

1189
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: because of the specific matchup of what they can do

1190
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: on the ground versus what Mississippi State allows on the ground.

1191
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: I think Matt Zohlers made a couple of nice throws

1192
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: last week and a great effort against a tough obviously

1193
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: A and M team, But I think we'll see some

1194
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: improvement against this Mississippi State defense. I think Misssippi State

1195
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: will compete, but ultimately I think the Missoo running game

1196
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: and defense is a formula that is going to be

1197
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: a mountain that's just a little bit too high to

1198
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: summit for Mississippi State. So I have Missoo here twenty seven,

1199
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven that wouldn't cover it. Excuse me, thirty

1200
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: to twenty one. I'm going to take Mississippi State outright. Wow,

1201
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: okay in como.

1202
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm taking I'm taking Mississippi State out right.

1203
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: This team's just playing with fire. They're playing with fire, man.

1204
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't mean that in a bad way.

1205
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: They're just they're hard out.

1206
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what state MISSOO is in after that

1207
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 2: loss a week ago against Texas A and M. But

1208
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 2: I like the grittiness with which Mississippi State's gone about

1209
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 2: its business, and partially I am rooting for them to

1210
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 2: win this game so that they can get to a

1211
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 2: bowl because I think they deserve it.

1212
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Man, I don't know how are they going to block

1213
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Maszoo up front? I mean, I know, Arkansas Dan or

1214
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: where's my sound? Where's my sound talking about this? Some

1215
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: things do not need to be mentioned on this preview podcast. Okay,

1216
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: So Mississippi State is one hundred and twenty ninth and

1217
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: sacks per drop back allowed? Yes, and they get them

1218
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: Mazoo front.

1219
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 2: Okay, ten fifteen ESPN if you can find it, TCU

1220
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 2: at BYU Battle of the acronyms here. Yeah, BYU, as

1221
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 2: we mentioned earlier, the twelfth ranked team in the latest

1222
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 2: batch of college football playoff rankings, there are four and

1223
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 2: a half point favorite. What are we betting on if

1224
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 2: we bet on TCU at this point?

1225
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: What's the hook is there? Yeah? I mean it's potentially

1226
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: a letdown spot for BYU after having their season altered

1227
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: disappointing loss to Texas Tech and you know, being both

1228
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: a letdown and a body blow theory situation, after being

1229
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: physically dominated for stretches of that game against a TCU

1230
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: team that they're not going to overlook. But that is tough,

1231
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: has playmakers on both sides of the ball. My problem is,

1232
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: I think BYU is just better, and they're playing at

1233
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: home and they're very good. I believe on third down

1234
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: on offense, TCU is real rough there and in terms

1235
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: of like winning is a skill, I don't see it with.

1236
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 2: TCU, No, And that's that's sort of where I came

1237
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 2: down in this one, you know.

1238
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: Especially on the road, losing the way they did to ASU,

1239
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: losing the way they did to Kansas State, barely getting

1240
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: by West Virginia. I just it's not an offense that

1241
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: I love scoring seventeen in a lost Iowa State and

1242
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: that was a special team's loss as well. There's too

1243
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: many ways for them to have brain farts.

1244
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 2: I mean, they're consistently inconsistent. Yeah, and it's kind of

1245
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 2: the opposite of what BYU is. BYU isn't always sexy,

1246
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 2: but they are pretty consistent. Just are consistent in that

1247
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 2: they find ways to get it done, and they didn't.

1248
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 2: Last week they played Texas Tech. Texas Tech was clearly

1249
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 2: better in that game, but BYU has been pretty rock solid.

1250
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm going Cougar's here. I think it's something like thirty one,

1251
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 2: twenty four. Yeah, I'm with you, ten thirty CBS Sports Network,

1252
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 2: late late, late game here, Boise State at San Diego State.

1253
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 2: San Diego State favored by three Dan.

1254
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Obviously disappointing week and now so this is it's

1255
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: a big travel week for San Diego State, even playing

1256
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: at home because they came back from Hawaii, which I

1257
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 1: assume is the closest you know, major FBS school too

1258
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: of the Islands. But even still Froyd got Troy. I

1259
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: don't think Boise State is gonna have much of an

1260
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: offense with their continued Maddix Madison absence, So I'm gonna

1261
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: go San Diego State here to keep Boise's offense down

1262
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: with their still very good defense even after a really

1263
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: nice story in Hawaii, not just last week but the

1264
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: entire season, had their way with the Aztecs. So I

1265
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 1: have San Diego State here twenty three to ten.

1266
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm looking for a big game out of Lucky Sutton,

1267
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 2: the running back for San Diego State, the big, bruising,

1268
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 2: downhill type of running back that they've got. Huh, they're

1269
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 2: a three point favorite. Gimme San Diego State minus the three.

1270
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree? And one more game here, if we

1271
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: could travel back in time, Dan, please, seven thirty ESPN

1272
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights, Clemson at number nineteen, Louisville, Louisville. We're

1273
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna talk Oregon Minnesota. You talk about it. We're not

1274
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: gonna give me the beauty of talking about Minnesota not

1275
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: scoring a road big ten touchdown in almost three hundred

1276
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: and sixty five days.

1277
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: I believe the point spread in that game is twenty

1278
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 2: four and a half in favor of your Oregon Ducks.

1279
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 2: That's nine PM at nine pm on Fox on Friday Night.

1280
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: Do you have a lean that one? I might actually

1281
01:06:55,440 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: take the points that Oregon. I don't. We're curtball Oregon is.

1282
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,479
Speaker 1: So it's short week off of a road, a tough

1283
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: road spot, a letdown spot a little bit for Oregon.

1284
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't think Minnesota's offense is all that good at all, so,

1285
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: and I like Oregon's defense a good amount. Oregon's still

1286
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna be without a bunch of key dudes on offense,

1287
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: so they're gonna play rotation dudes. This is just gonna

1288
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: be like, get your guys healthy, play some twos and threes.

1289
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: The defense is gonna show up against Minnesota. Dante mor

1290
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: Is still playing quarterback. They'll score points, but it almost

1291
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: feels like a twenty eight to seven type where they

1292
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: just they're not going to keep the horses in because

1293
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: they have the finish against USC and Washington coming up.

1294
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 2: All right, Clemson, Louisville, Clemson, Louisville. Uh, I'm going Louisville. Okay,

1295
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what Clemson is right now, what they are.

1296
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 2: They did beat mean Florida State. They did beat Florida State,

1297
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 2: and I was all in on Florida State. I'm gonna

1298
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 2: go Louisville here. Louisville finds a way to play in

1299
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 2: just all one score games against teams that they are

1300
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 2: both better than and worse than, so I believe this

1301
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 2: will be close. I also feel like every Louisville game

1302
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 2: ends thirty one twenty four, so I'm gonna go thirty

1303
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 2: one to twenty four, Louisville winning this one at home.

1304
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: I may go Clemson here mostly because you took Louisville.

1305
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: You're not wrong, man. If there is something to like

1306
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,919
Speaker 1: about Clemson this season is Bloe do they love leaving Clemson.

1307
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: So they had an opportunity, obviously, and I think they

1308
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 1: had the postgame win expectancy against Georgia Tech, a good

1309
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech team, blow out North Carolina, blowout Boston College

1310
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 1: obviously to not good teams at all, but I think

1311
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: there is a little bit of belief after beating Florida State,

1312
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: not a good team at all, but Louisville the way

1313
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,839
Speaker 1: that they ended, they're missing their best play maker on offense.

1314
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think Clemson right here in

1315
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: this spot is in a good spot. So I'm gonna

1316
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: go Clemson to score some points, not a ton of

1317
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: points against the good Louisville defense. So Clemson twenty four

1318
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: to twenty one.

1319
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 2: Dan Rubinstein, if you've got something going this weekend, I

1320
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 2: would try to get out early, unless you've got a

1321
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 2: specific rooting interest, like I don't apply for this for

1322
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 2: this here segment because I've obviously I do this for

1323
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 2: a living, but Notre Dame Pitt That game is early,

1324
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 2: clearly I care about that, so I would not be

1325
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 2: going out on the town to watch Cats again in

1326
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 2: that early window.

1327
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:42,839
Speaker 1: But if you are.

1328
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 2: Not in the situation where you got a team plane early,

1329
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 2: I would probably try to get out early. Do what

1330
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 2: you gotta do. See the community showing of Cats or

1331
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 2: the producers or whatever it is that you're into. Go

Speaker 1: Soul Patch.

1340
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 2: So early I think is the target for you. I'd

1341
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 2: want to get back late. I'd want to watch Texas Georgia.

1342
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 2: I'm pretty excited about that matchup. Agree the quad though

1343
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 2: would be in the afternoon three thirty ABC, Big ten Network, ESPN,

1344
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 2: two CBS.

1345
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: You could watch those networks.

1346
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 2: I do see that the Athletic is reporting that there's

1347
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 2: potential momentum for a YouTube TV ESPN deal to be

1348
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:42,759
Speaker 2: finalized relatively soon as size move a little bit closer crazy.

1349
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 2: That's from Andrew Marshand, So we'll have to hope for that.

1350
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 2: If you are one of the YouTube TV people, out

1351
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 2: there as Dan and I are not a sponsor.

1352
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely could be.

1353
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 2: You've got Oklahoma, Alabama, Iowa, USC, Virginia Duke, and Penn State,

1354
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 2: Michigan State, which we didn't mention it. That's that the

1355
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 2: Land Grant Land Grand Trophy. That's all at three point thirty.

1356
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 2: You can also sub in Memphis and ECU if you're

1357
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 2: a G six fan.

1358
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,759
Speaker 1: I saw some Brian Kelly Michigan States team. Yeah, did

1359
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: have a current coach Michigan State. Did you see that after.

1360
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 2: Brian Dable got fired from the Giants, he was walking

1361
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 2: out of some building, maybe his home, wearing a Penn

1362
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 2: State Nitney Lions sweatshirt.

1363
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: Maybe is that true? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, does he have

1364
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: a connection.

1365
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a connection, but he was

1366
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 2: wearing Penn State Nitney Lions sweatshirt.

1367
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: New York Post got him. Maybe it's just I would

1368
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: not hate that. I would not hate that. Brian Dables

1369
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:43,679
Speaker 1: from roch No, he went to Canadian Yeah, he grew

1370
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: up in New York, upstate New York somewhere. Has coached

1371
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL largely, But did you know Bill's recently

1372
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 1: Giants recently coached for a season in the SEC at Alabama.

1373
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 2: He's almost definitely going to be an NFL defensive coordinator

1374
01:11:58,240 --> 01:11:59,799
Speaker 2: or offense offense codinator.

1375
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But I.

1376
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 2: Would not hate an offensive minded coach taking the reins

1377
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 2: of a pencil. I would not hate that at all.

1378
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if Dabel is necessarily the kind of

1379
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 2: guy that you'd want for that job, but of some

1380
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 2: of the names that I have heard bandied about, I

1381
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 2: would not hate that one at all.

1382
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: Maybe that was a signal like, hey, it was really

1383
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,719
Speaker 1: nice when Saquon was here. Thanks for trading away Saquon Barkley.

1384
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,200
