1
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't like to do the complaining show. Got plenty

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: of those out there, and I've got my brides in life.

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: I've got my bripes in college football. But I don't

4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: like doing that because I don't like listening to those

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: kinds of shows. I genuinely, I generally like finishing a show,

6
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: and I feel better about the world I live in

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: and the thing I love than when I first got there.

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: So I, as you may well know by now, am

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: not the biggest fan of the expanded playoff. But I've

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: tried as far as much as I could to stay

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: on the straight and narrow and just talk about the

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: here and now. It's a lot of words, Sally to say.

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: I hack and write nearly as much as I should.

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: But the one thing that I want to leave you

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: with as we open tonight's show is my main point

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: of contention with this thing is not just how big

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: it is immunity. My main point of contention is we're

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: in a situation right now, you and I as we

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: train headlong into conference championship Saturday and Friday, where a

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: Boise states only two scenarios are either they don't make

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: the playoff or they make the playoff and have a

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: first round by there in lies every issue, just at

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: the crux of it, at the very core of it.

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: There in lies every issue I have with this whole thing.

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: We're jam packed, We're high atapa frigid, icy downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Ironically,

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: my number one gripe with our set is how hot

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: it is in here. Let's just open a window. We're

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: fourteen floors up. But we could do it on this

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: Thursday night, December fifth, the year of our Lower twenty

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: twenty four, proudly brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors.

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: This sounds like paper, but I am willing to etch

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: my college football playoff final prediction in Stone tonight. And

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing it voluntarily. Management has not passed down an

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: edict where I have to do it, but I'm just

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I reserve the right to change my mind. No,

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're gonna stand on this one, Jesse

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: and Colin. This is gonna be the one time that

38
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: we go full, not eight, not in nine, but ten

39
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: toes down, and I'm gonna show you what I think

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: the playoff is gonna look like. But also I'm gonna

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: throw some chaos your way. National Signing Day was yesterday.

42
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: I do have several thoughts. North Carolina is looking for

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: a new head coach. Bill Belichick's name entered the equation

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: oh about three hours ago as I'm talking to you

45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: live or did it. I've got some speculation and I've

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: got some outright information that I'm gonna give you on

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the show tonight and Huge News. We are nothing if

48
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: not a show that gives second chances. We are nothing

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: if not a show that adheres to and believes in

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: the principle of forgiveness. And that's what we're issuing. Cole Kublick.

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: He's been quietly suspended from the show for two weeks.

52
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: And you know what, if he wants to explain why

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: he got suspended, he can explain. It's a hip of

54
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: violation if I explain it, or hippo violation because it's

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: masculine instead of feminine. They're watching us in Albany, New York, Buford,

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Orlando, Florida, Dothan, Alabama. Thank you guys so much.

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: Now as you see over in the corner here or

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcast on pointing to the corner

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: means nothing to you. We have a new set, and

60
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: I told you guys, I have no interest in designing

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: this set, so we kind of left the shelves bare

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: and I said, you design it for us. Our buddy Preston,

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: Preston Battle, who made some helmets for us last time around. Well,

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: we changed the logos and we changed the name of

65
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 1: the show, and we got Chuggy, our new mascot there,

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: which I think is one of the greater mascot names

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: and designs in the modern era of mascot designing. He

68
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: sent us two helmets helmi if you will, the plural

69
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: of helmet, and there they are right there next to

70
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: our YouTube thing that YouTube sent us a while back.

71
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate him because he's done this for us free

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: of charge, and all he's asked for is a chalice

73
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: of supremacy, which is on its way as of tonight,

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: and if you don't get it in time for Christmas,

75
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: that's on Jesse, That's not on me. Preston. I want

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: you to know that, and so we appreciate it. And

77
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: some others of you have sent stuff. Full disclosure, I'm

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: not in the building every day, so there is a

79
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: stack of stuff that I have not even opened yet.

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to get to it. We're still settling in here.

81
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on. Bear with me, all right,

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: that's the least of our worries. That's not a worry.

83
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: That's a blessing. That's a good thing. And I do

84
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys. However, there are some things I don't appreciate,

85
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: and that's what I want to start the show with tonight.

86
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: I think there's college football playoff chaos coming now. It's

87
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: not gonna be, you know, layer upon layer upon a

88
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: layer of it, because as the committee showed us Tuesday night,

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: they've largely determined that South Carolina's not gonna be in this,

90
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Miami is not going to be in this, Ole miss

91
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: is not going to be in this. There's no reason

92
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: to wait for Sunday with baited breath. We know they're

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: not We know Alabama's existence in the playoff is contingent

94
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: on something, or is it. I'll talk about that in

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: a second. But I decided tonight this is the last

96
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: show that we're doing before that bracket will be revealed,

97
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: and so I feel it's only necessary and only right

98
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: that I call my shot here, So I'm gonna do

99
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: a few things here over the next few minutes. I'm

100
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna show you my bracket. I'm gonna show you what

101
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: I actually think is gonna happen. But I'm also going

102
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that I have been wrong a time or

103
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: two in my life, and I could be wrong again.

104
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong, some other ways that this could

105
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: go are really messed up. Really, when you think about it,

106
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: depending on your college football worldview, let me put it

107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: that way, it could be messed up. So let me

108
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: start with what I expect. I already did all the

109
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: predictions earlier this week. If you missed it. I picked

110
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: Texas to beat Georgia. I picked Oregon to beat Penn State.

111
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: I picked Iowa State to beat Arizona State. I picked

112
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: SMU to beat Clemson. Like, if the ACC Championship game

113
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: goes the way I think it's going to go, a

114
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff is rendered moot and we're largely

115
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: just seeing who seeded, where Alabama would be in, SMU

116
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: would be in, and would be good to go. Now,

117
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you this the other night, but I

118
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: do want to tell you here. I'm actually picking UNLV

119
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: to beat Boise in the Mountain West Championship game. That

120
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: changes a lot. They're not favored. Boise's a three and

121
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: a half point favorite, so that would be a mild upset.

122
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: And however that goes is however it goes, but it

123
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: should stand a reason. I didn't tell you that the

124
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: other night. You to know, based on my predictions, that's

125
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: how those games would shake out. So here's how I

126
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: think that bracket would play out. And I know this

127
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: is a visual thing, and I know if you're listening

128
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: on podcasts and you're like me, you're gonna have a

129
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: tough time visualizing this because I gotta see it. So

130
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: here's the deal. If everything goes the way that I

131
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: think it's gonna go, you've got UNLV against Penn State

132
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: because Penn State has just you know, lost the Big

133
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Ten Championship game. So the broad strokes here is I

134
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: think Penn State's gonna remain ahead of Notre Dame. There

135
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: is a lot of talk right now if Penn State

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: loses the Big Ten Championship game, where do they fall?

137
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: Do they fall to the five seed, do they fall

138
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: to the sixth seed? The whole Notre Dame thing right

139
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: now is Notre Dame's fourth, but Notre Dame cannot finish

140
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: top four because it's reserved for conference champs. Okay, so

141
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: we know Notre Dame is not gonna be top four.

142
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: We know they're not gonna have a first round. By

143
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: the next order of business is we'll the committee drop

144
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: conference championship losers behind Notre Dame, like, for instance, Texas

145
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: if they lose to Georgia. I don't predict that to happen,

146
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: but if they do and Penn State loses to Oregon,

147
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: does Notre Dame just fall all the way down to

148
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: seven to make room for them at five and six.

149
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: The way I have it going is Penn State's the

150
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: five seed. There you notice they stay ahead of Notre Dame.

151
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: That leads us to Alabama going to South Bend in

152
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: round one, where it was twenty three today with a

153
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: blizzard warning in South Bend when I checked this afternoon.

154
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: Of course Monday, it's going to be in the low fifties,

155
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: so you know, it still is kind of a crapshoot.

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: I think one of the most funny bits of irony

157
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: in the history of college football playoff projection would be

158
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: if a Southern team had to go up to Northern

159
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: Indiana to play, and it just so happened to be

160
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: fifty two and clear unlikely, unlikely based on the extended

161
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: forecast I looked at, but possible. I want you to

162
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: notice a couple of things here in this scenario. Look

163
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: at the difference between five and look at the difference

164
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: in how you're seeded. Okay, Penn State, Penn State. If

165
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: they get the five seed, they play UNLV and then

166
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: they would advance to play Iowa State, the Big twelve team. Okay,

167
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: if you're the sixth seed. This is why it's it's

168
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: not either or, it's not flip a coin, it's not O.

169
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: Who cares? Would you rather play UNLV round one? Or

170
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: would you rather draw Bama in round one? Oh Josh,

171
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: Bama's not a big deal. They're down this year. Were

172
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: they down against LSU? Were they down against Georgia? My

173
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: question there, the framing of it is, if you catch

174
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: Bama on a good day, they're one of the best

175
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: teams in the country, they just hadn't had all of

176
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: those good days stacked on top of each other. They

177
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: normally would. What do you want to take a chance on?

178
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Though you want to take a chance on drawing Bama

179
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: on the wrong day, or take chances against unlv in

180
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: then Iowa State or the big twelve team period. It

181
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: could be Arizona State. What would you rather do? You know,

182
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: I think I know the way most of you go

183
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: on that in this scenario. Also, the number one seed

184
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: in this case, Oregon gets the worst draw of any

185
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: team in the second round. I think you are guaranteed

186
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: to play either Tennessee or Ohio State. And from where

187
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: we sit, by the way, that Tennessee Ohio State matchup

188
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: looks locked in no matter what else happens. Everything else

189
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: around them is moving around. It looks like Tennessee's gonna

190
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: play Ohio State. So you guys might as well go

191
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: ahead and start prepping for that. That whole one seed

192
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: versus the five or six seed, and which is more favorable.

193
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: That is going to be a very, very big topic

194
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: of conversation. Now, that's the way I think it's gonna go.

195
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: But let's say I'm wrong. I've never been wrong. If

196
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: I've been wrong, it's been kids, coaches, or officials who

197
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: have screwed it up. I've only made right predictions. But

198
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: let's say some kids coaches or officials screw up this

199
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: weekend and my predictions do not go as plan. We

200
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: could have the ac SED disaster scenario. The ACC Championship

201
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: game SMU Clemson for the not keeping track at home.

202
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: That's the chaos game. That's the game that could throw

203
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: a wrench into everything. Maybe. So I think SMU is

204
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: gonna win that game. I think they match up very

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: well with Clemson. I picked SMU to win. Let's just

206
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: say they don't. Let's say they do a replay of

207
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: the Duke game and turn the ball over six times.

208
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: That's right, kids, SMU is minus six turnovers in a

209
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: game this year and one on the road. Anyway, Let's

210
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: say Clemson wins that game. Obviously, the first headline is

211
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: how far is SMU falling? This is what everyone's following

212
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: right now. How far are they falling? Do they fall out?

213
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: That'll that'll be the million dollar debate. Actually, it's the

214
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: multi billion dollar debate. That's what they paid for this thing.

215
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: Will they drop out so Alabama can remain in I've

216
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: got what I think should happen there, which is SMU

217
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: should stay in the playoff and Alabama should be out

218
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: of the playoff. That's what I think should happen, not

219
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: because I think their resume is better. Let me make

220
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: sure you understand what I'm saying, because I'm gonna get

221
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: lit up from tuscalucib before where we get off the air.

222
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: Not that it matters, but oh, I'm not saying that.

223
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Obama shouldn't or should I'm saying that

224
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: committee last Tuesday night put SMU above Alabama, knowing what

225
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: the strength of schedule looks like, already knowing what both

226
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: have and have not done, knowing how many quality wins

227
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: there are on SMU's resume in Alabama's resume. So if

228
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna sit there on Sunday after SMU's lost to

229
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Clemson and you drop them behind Alabama, you better just

230
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: tell me, well, we don't think they're as good as Alabama.

231
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: We want Bbama in more. Because if you start talking

232
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: about their resume, all I'm gonna do is shoot back

233
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: at you. But you're just telling me a bunch of

234
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: stuff you already knew last week. What they should have

235
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: done to alleviate this concern is if they believe that

236
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: they should have put SMU behind Alabama already, but they didn't,

237
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: so you'd just be flat out punishing a team for

238
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: losing their conference title game. I think the committee will

239
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: do it, not what I think should happen, what I

240
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: think will happen in this scenario. If Clemson wins, Clemson's

241
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: in the playoff, I don't think SMU is And this

242
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: is what I think the bracket would look like if

243
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: all that happens. Look at the draw for the eleven seed,

244
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: which would be Alabama. Look at the draw here, They'd

245
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: go to Notre Dame FanDuel confirmed for us the other night.

246
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Bama would be a three and a half point dog

247
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: right now. If they had to hang a line on

248
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: that game, Bama's got the better roster. Bama would be

249
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: a dog, and they'd be playing in cold weather. And

250
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: you get that whole thing. If they win that game,

251
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: they got Boise the second round. All right, now, I

252
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: want you to compare that draw with what again an

253
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Oregon has. They're drawing the winner of Ohio State Tennessee.

254
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: And by the way, in drawing the winner, they're drawing

255
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: the hot team. Either one of those teams has beaten

256
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: the other the week before, so then they're playing Oregon,

257
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: not in Eugene. They're going to a neutral site wherever

258
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: that would be. I just find it very interesting. There's

259
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: yet another there where Who would you rather be in

260
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: the second round? Would you rather be in Alabama? Would

261
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: you rather be an Oregon? Alabama had to play one

262
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: more game. Who knows how that game went in South Bend.

263
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Did you get banged up? Did you get injured? But

264
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: notice also what these rematches are. If you get Oregon

265
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: and Ohio State in the playoff, you don't get it

266
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: in the final. You get it in the second round.

267
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: If you get Georgia Texas version three, you don't get

268
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: it in the semi final or the final. You get

269
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: in the second round. And so what we could have

270
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: here is you could have Alabama, if they were to

271
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: pull a mild upset against Notre Dame. Here, you'd have

272
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: them playing Boise in the second round, who they would

273
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: be a double digit favored against. I can tell you

274
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: that now. And meanwhile, you'd have Georgia and or Texas eliminated.

275
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: You'd have let's just say Ohio State and or Oregon

276
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: already eliminated, and Bama would need to only get past

277
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: Boise and you would again very quickly realize how insane

278
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: the auto bid structure is in this sport, in the playoff,

279
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: having an auto bid bakes in such incongruency and I'm

280
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: gonna say it. I'm gonna say the word such unfairness. No, no,

281
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: strike it from the record. This is college football. We

282
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: can't be talking about fairness. I just put Boise as

283
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: a winner, by the way, in this one because they

284
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: are favored over UNLV. I picked UNLV. But whatever, if

285
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: Boise were to win, I think they'd be the three seed.

286
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: And the three seed. Remember, we don't receied this playoff

287
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: after every round for some reason, We've locked it in.

288
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: So you know, if it's Alabama at Notre Dame in

289
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: round one, they are playing for the right to go

290
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: face Boise. Either one of them win, they'll be a

291
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: double digit favorite in round two. Just interesting. Thirdly, what

292
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: if all the underdogs just roll. We got a bunch

293
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: of teams that are two and a half point dogs

294
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: this weekend, so all the conference championship games points spread

295
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: wise are very compacted. They're very tight. So what happens

296
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: if Georgia does win against Texas? That's not crazy, They've

297
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: already done it this year. If Penn State does win

298
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: against Oregon, They're a three and a half point dog.

299
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: Not crazy, not crazy. One of the main points of

300
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: contention people have had with Dan Landing is, oh I

301
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: can't win the Big Game, which is copied and pasted

302
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: for James Franklin. Well, one of them's gonna win. So

303
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: what if it's Penn State that one, along with Clemson

304
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: maybe winning in the ACC again a two and a

305
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: half point underdog. Nothing crazy, it's in their backyard, virtually,

306
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: it's in Charlotte. It's going to be a home game. Well,

307
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: there's a world where Penn State ends up the number

308
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: one seed. Do you realize this? They wouldn't be the

309
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: favorite to win at all, but they'd be the number

310
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: one overall seed. Now here's what's funny. The previous two

311
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: projections I showed you were kind of favorable for Penn State,

312
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: which is crazy because Penn State lost the Big Ten

313
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: championship game in the previous two projections I gave you. Well,

314
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: now they won it. What's their reward. They get Ohio

315
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: State or Tennessee in round two, whichever one was good

316
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: enough to beat the other, They get them in round two. Meanwhile,

317
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: Oregon plays Clemson in Eugene in round one. Notice, if

318
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: Oregon loses Saturday, they're not dropping past five or six,

319
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: So that means home game in Eugene. Everyone's focused on

320
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: Notre Dame hosting Penn State hosting. No. The most lopsided

321
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: home field situation that could potentially exist in round one

322
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: here is someone having to fly all the way to Eugene,

323
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Oregon and play in Austin Stadium in the third week

324
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: in December. That's what you want no part of because, oh,

325
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: by the way, you'd also be playing Oregon in Eugene.

326
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: It's not just you go to Eugene and it's a

327
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: regional and you just draw some team out of the blue. No,

328
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: you're playing Oregon up there. Yeah, that had happened, and

329
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: so Oregon would get someone served up to him in Eugene.

330
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: Then they go play Iowa State in round two. Meanwhile,

331
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Penn State's just got their hands full there with the

332
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: eight to nine winner. But let's not recede this thing.

333
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: By all means, let's hang onto this. Notice Texas in

334
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: the scenario host Alabama in round one and they would

335
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: be fighting each other. Two of the top five talent

336
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: rosters in this sport would be fighting each other over

337
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: the right to see who goes and plays Boise. Either

338
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: one of them again a double digit favorite. Now there

339
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: is someone somewhere yelling at me. Many someones are yelling

340
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: at me because I know the audience, especially the ones

341
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: that disagree with me a lot, because I hear from

342
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: you guys a lot, and you're yelling do away with

343
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: the point spread talk. Forget about who would be favored.

344
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: It's about who wins on the field, of course it is.

345
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: I've never suggested otherwise, but I do think a predictive

346
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: point spread or predictive modeling that spits out of point spread,

347
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: which is what oddsmakers use, I think it is a

348
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: nice tool. It's a nice resource to draw on. And

349
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: when you know that no matter who wins that game

350
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: Texas versus Bama, either one of them will be double

351
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: digit favorite against the team in round two that enjoyed

352
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: a buye in round one, it just says something. Whatever

353
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: it says is open to interpretation based on how you

354
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: think it should be modeled. A lot of you love

355
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: that that fourth highest ranked conference champ gets a buy

356
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: I hate it. I don't think any conference champ should

357
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: be guaranteed a first round by. I don't think anyone

358
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: should be guaranteed a first round by. Just give the

359
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: best four teams in the country a first round by,

360
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: if that's how you want to set it up. So

361
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: there is one thing that's interesting here. For all the fluctuation,

362
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State's pretty much locked into the eight seed. They

363
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: are minus two thousand at FanDuel to be the eight seed.

364
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: You can go do this, by the way, you can

365
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: go bet which seed a team will be. But as

366
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: for the odds to win that whole thing, sorry about that, Colin.

367
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: There's what I was just talking about, Ohio State minus

368
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: two thousand to be the eight seed. Georgia's got the

369
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: next best odds and it's plus eight fifties. Show me

370
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: that other one again, Colin, because that was odds to

371
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: win the whole thing. So, in case you're wondering, Oregon

372
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: and Texas are co favorites to win the national title

373
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: right now at plus three fifty. Ohio States right behind

374
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: them yet plus four hundred. Georgia's next at plus five hundred,

375
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: and then it's a little drop off to Notre Dame,

376
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: a little more drop off to Penn State, and then

377
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: a little more drop off to Alabama. And part of

378
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: what's baked in with Alabama is we're not guaranteed that

379
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: they're in. If they were guaranteed to be in right now,

380
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: I think their odds would probably it'll bump up to

381
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: twelve hundred or plus one thousand, even something like that.

382
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: What could I not be seeing here? I know you're

383
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing right now. I know you guys.

384
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: I know you're trying to map it out. You're trying

385
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: to predict if this win. If this team wins, then

386
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: where are they going to be. You're just making your

387
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: own bracket out. It's no different than you would do

388
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: in the NCAA tournament in March. But what could we

389
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: not be thinking of a couple of things that are

390
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: on my mind? Blowout losses in the Big ten or

391
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: the SEC. These are two and a half point three

392
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: and a half point spreads. Everyone thinks they're going to

393
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: be competitive, most people do. Anyway, If Penn State gets

394
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: beat forty to ten, how far could they fall? Because

395
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: they could be the one seed if they win, they

396
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: could be the five seed if they lose close, but

397
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: they could drop to six. I think the floor is

398
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: seven seven, even in a blowout loss. Is how far

399
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: I think Penn State could fall Georgia. If Georgia wins

400
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: the SEC championship game, they're like the two seed. If

401
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: they lose it close probably the sixth seed. But what

402
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: if they get blown out? How far could Georgia fall?

403
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: Seven seed? Eight seed? Could they fall out of hosting

404
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: a home playoff game? I guess they could Notre Dame

405
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: is the one I think that's most interesting, but there's

406
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: not as much variability. They're at number four right now.

407
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: They don't play this weekend, they're gonna drop because they

408
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: can't be a top four team. You gotta win a

409
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: conference championship game to do that. Do they drop to five,

410
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: six or seven? That depends largely. In fact, that depends

411
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: totally on what happens above them, but it also depends

412
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: on you know, if Boise wins, they're gonna probably vault

413
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: in there, and that just bumps Notre Dame one spot

414
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: further down than they would have been. The Other thing

415
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: to think about here is injuries. We live in a

416
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: post FSU Jordan Travis world where the committee said, we've

417
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: seen Jordan Travis go down. Now in that line of

418
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: thinking last year they also saw FSU play a couple

419
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: of games without their quarterback. Let's not forget that, and

420
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: they said, no, this looks like a different team. We're

421
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna leave them out even though they're undefeed him. Well,

422
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: my advice to Kirby Smart with Carson Beck, or James

423
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: Franklin with Drew Aller, or Dan Lanning with Dylan Gabriel is,

424
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: if there's some scenario come Saturday where don't care if

425
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: you're winning or losing, your quarterback gets hurt, you got

426
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: to get them off the field as quick as possible,

427
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: and then if you need to, you just gotta lie

428
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: in the post game. You cannot let on that there's

429
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: any kind of status update. You just got to buy

430
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: yourself twenty four hours and then they've got to see

431
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: the playoff the next day. If one of your guys

432
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: is seriously hurt, it's terrible, But you got to keep

433
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: that stuff under wraps long enough for that committee to

434
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: not be able to bake it in. And I know

435
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: that sounds really messed up. It's because it is, but

436
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: that's because of precedent that the College Football Playoff Committee

437
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: decided to set last year. Think think about it this way,

438
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: Jordan Travis goes down, they announced that he's out for

439
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: the year. What if Mike Norvel would have done nothing

440
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: different other than say, Jordan's out indefinitely right now, but

441
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: we project that we may be able to get him

442
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: back in time for the postseason. What would the committee

443
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: have done? It would be a lie. But what would

444
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: the committee have done? We'll never know. We'll never know,

445
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: but it's worth asking and it's worth taking into account.

446
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you plan on everything from win direction,

447
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: to which way you want to kick, to which sideline

448
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: you want to which jersey color gives you a better

449
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: chance to win, to which way to cut the blades

450
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: of grass so that it can maximize your speed, then

451
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: absolutely you think about those scenarios. Academy Sports and Outdoors

452
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: is thought of every possible scenario. For example, you could

453
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 1: be a Georgia fan that wins this weekend and you're

454
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: head of the playoff. You lose, and you're hosting a

455
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: playoff game. Whatever you do, you want a tailgate, and

456
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors has you covered. And then copy

457
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: and paste what I just said for everyone. And like,

458
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: if you're an organ fan, you could say we don't

459
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: have an Academy in my backyard. That's true, But I

460
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: know one hundred percent that you have internet because you're

461
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: watching the show or listening to the show, which means

462
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: you can go to academy dot com. They are presenting partner.

463
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: They are the reason the show is free. They're the

464
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: reason the show exists, and they've been arm in arm

465
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: with us virtually from the beginning. We appreciate them, and

466
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: I strongly encourage you. Christmas approaching, but also Bowl season, playoff,

467
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: tailgate season approaching. A lot of you are headed to

468
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: strange lands because the powers that be in this sport

469
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: could not care less how much you have to travel

470
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: and how many games you have to buy tickets too.

471
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't really you matter to Academy at least, So

472
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: if you're gonna put yourself through all that, check out

473
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: Academy before you do it. This North Carolina coaching search

474
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: is interesting. So earlier today a headline comes across the

475
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: wire that you probably thought was fake, and it was

476
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick interested in linked to interviewing for the North

477
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: Carolina head coaching position, and you're thinking it's not a

478
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: not an NFL team in Chapel Hill that's true. They're

479
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: talking about the Tar Heels job recently vacated by Mac Brown. Involuntarily.

480
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: Involuntarily check which is appropriate, Jesse, This is probably not

481
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So did some did some digging around on this?

482
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: For you today, I put on the investigative hat. I

483
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: don't expect Bill Belichick to be the head coach at

484
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: North Carolina, but I do want you to know that

485
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty muddy over there right now. I say over

486
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: there because it's pretty parallel with Nashville, so it could

487
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: be up there or down there for you. The situation

488
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: at North Carolina is, Yeah, it's nice to see a

489
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: name like Bill Belichick and attached to that job. Bill

490
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: Belichick's not gonna be the head coach at North Carolina,

491
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: but I don't really know who is, because I don't

492
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: think they know who is right now because Bubba Cunningham,

493
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: the ad over there, has got a lot on his plate.

494
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of resistance. You know. Here's the

495
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: plus side of having a guy like Mack Brown around

496
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: is I love Mac Brown. The downside is a lot

497
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: of other people love Mac Brown, and so when you

498
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: get rid of him, there is still a lot of

499
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: allegiance to Mack Brown. I saw man Step I think

500
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: it was Godfrey earlier today that alluded to this, and

501
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: everything he said is the same stuff I've heard. There's

502
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: a lot of allegiance to Mack Brown still that is

503
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: slowing that process down. That's providing a lot of resistance

504
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: to a Bubba Cunningham's process up there the athletic director.

505
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: There are people trying to insert names. Some of them

506
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: you've heard of, like Belichick. A couple other ones that

507
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm not at liberty to share are totally out of

508
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: left field and you know, aren't going to get the job,

509
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: but they're getting looks as a favor as someone throwing

510
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: their weight around. So the question from the legitimate list

511
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: of contenders here is the same as it's always been

512
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: around North Carolina? Are you as serious about college football

513
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: as you think you are? Most people around programs think

514
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: they're serious enough about winning. Most of them are wrong

515
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: about that, some of them are right, some of them

516
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: go over the cliff. They're all in. They literally give

517
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: everything to try and win. It's not a guarantee they will,

518
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: but they are all in. So when they lose, it's

519
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: not because they're not invested enough. North Carolina's never been

520
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: invested enough in football. Some people there know that, other

521
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: people need to be shaken and made aware of that.

522
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: But then again, how do you tell someone else how

523
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: to spend their money? You know, that's the age old

524
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: catch twenty two in college football. There are a lot

525
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: of good names here that are interested. A lot of

526
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: them are public. It's not a matter of are guys

527
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: interested in a job. The North Carolina job has always

528
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: been attractive. I told you two weeks ago. It's more

529
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: attractive than you would think it is. But at the

530
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: end of any interview, or at the beginning of any interview,

531
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: it's the same four or five questions that prospective candidates

532
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: are going to ask and their representation is going to

533
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: ask to gauge how serious you actually are about nil structure,

534
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: how serious you are about football investment, how serious you

535
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: are about understanding football's got to drive the bus, not

536
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: just over basketball. Basketball is always going to be a

537
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: main stay at North Carolina, but there are some other

538
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: sports there that they take seriously, and God bless them

539
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: for it. But there are some sports there that they

540
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: take seriously and they allocate some resources towards those sports.

541
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: And if you play that sport, that's wonderful. These are

542
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: the kind of sports that not a ton of people

543
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: watch for entertainment purposes, and it does. It does redirect

544
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: some resource and attention away from football. That's a problem

545
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: if you're trying to get a guy that's in high demand,

546
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: that's a problem. Our friends over at Inside Carolina right

547
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: now have done a great job. They'll have several updates

548
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: per day on this. Inside Carolina is one of the

549
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: monster sites over in the twenty four to seven Sports

550
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: Team Network site, and I mean they kill it on

551
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: stuff like this. So they were the ones who reported

552
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: the Belichick news earlier today. There's a list over there

553
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: right now. I think Ben Sherman updated this earlier today.

554
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Belichick there. John Sumral from Tulane is absolutely involved in

555
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: this search. Not that you need it confirmed, but I'll

556
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: confirm it for you. Glenn Schuman, the defensive coordinator at Georgia. Yeah.

557
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: Jeff Monkin, Army head coach, Yeah. Freddy Kitchens is there already.

558
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: I believe Cain Womack is the defensive coordinator at Alabama

559
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: right now. Would not surprise me to see him get

560
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: a look there. And Mac Hambell the head coach at

561
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: Iowa State is very coveted. He should be, He's a

562
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: really good coach. I think some of those guys, in fact,

563
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys, if you listen to that list,

564
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: are involved in conference championship games some Friday, some Saturday.

565
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: Some of them are going to make the playoff. Are

566
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: you willing to wait if your guy makes the playoff?

567
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: Because the right candidate is probably viewing it as a

568
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: non negotiable that this search screw up his shot to

569
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs and compete for a national championship.

570
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Now there is a balance there. Like West Virginia's got

571
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: a search going on right now. UCS got a search

572
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: going on right now. They're probably a little more aggressive

573
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: and a little further down the road than North Carolina.

574
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: But those are the kinds of jobs where if you

575
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: take one of those candidates, there's probably a compromise where, hey,

576
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: if you're in the playoff, by all means, stay where

577
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 1: you are, compete as long as you can. But we

578
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: do need you to meet us in the middle. I e.

579
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: When Scott Frost took the Nebraska job when he was

580
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: at UCF, we need you to meet us in the middle,

581
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: and we need to be able to announce it and

582
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: then it's just kind of your swan song. And however

583
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: far you get in the playoffs, however far you get.

584
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: But we got the portal open in December ninth, so

585
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: we've got to have answers, we got to have something

586
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: to tell people, and we got to have a future

587
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: to be able to sell them. Some guys are on

588
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: board with that. Some guys wouldn't be on board with that.

589
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: So we'll see. Nine days though, this has gone on

590
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: with Mac Brown being gone, and you'll notice this is

591
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: another good point Ben Sherman made. I was reading some

592
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: of his work earlier today, and he's right about this.

593
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: North Carolina is a really strong brand. It's a really

594
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: strong institution. And the way you know that is no

595
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: major players have left yet. You got guys entering the

596
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: portal all over the place, and look at North Carolina.

597
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: There's some good players on that roster. Don't be fooled

598
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: by the lack of results. There's some good players on

599
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: that roster and no one's left yet. And that's not

600
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: by accident. Like Pat Sutter's and the guys behind the

601
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: scenes over there, they know what they're doing. I feel

602
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: the same way about North care rely on the kind

603
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: of as I've felt about Florida. Just because you look

604
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: at them in the moment and you think maybe the

605
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: head coach isn't the right guy and they're not getting

606
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: the job done on the field doesn't mean top to

607
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: bottom everything about the program is wrong. Both of those programs,

608
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: I know fairly intimately are staffed with some really really

609
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: good home run hitters, guys that guys and girls who

610
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: would be in demand at many, many other high level

611
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: institutions that are currently winning. And so you have to

612
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: do a healthy assessment of that if you're going to

613
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: look to take the job. But also you're looking and

614
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: you're saying, wow, is the roster getting rated? Oh wow,

615
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: they're not running everywhere like an ant hill that's been

616
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: kicked over. They're sticking around. Well, that could bode well

617
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: for me. Much more to come on. This quick trip

618
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: has fueled the whole New Saturday tour all year. I

619
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: am leaving for Dallas tomorrow contingent on the DMV coming

620
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: through for me in the morning. Which is a little

621
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: side note. Any of you that work in and around

622
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: the Nashville DMV scene, you hit me up. I wouldn't

623
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: make it very much worth your while. I am calling

624
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: in one favor a year, and that's the favor I'm

625
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: calling in because otherwise my morning is going to be

626
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: ridiculous tomorrow. That's not Quick Trip's problem. Quick Trip is

627
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: about solutions. They've been given out free gas all year.

628
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: They have been fueling the whole New Saturday tour all year.

629
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: We're going to be at the Big Twelve championship game.

630
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: I'll head to Dallas tomorrow night. We'll be on the

631
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: sidelines for this game Saturday. Cotton Bowl folks, the Big

632
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: Twelve folks. They've been great to work with, and I

633
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: am meeting some of them for the first time in

634
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: person this weekend. So we're looking forward to this. And

635
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: we got more to give away over the becoming weeks.

636
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: Trust me, we got more to give away. They're watching

637
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: us in Sheffield, Alabama, Lubbett, Texas, Chicago, Illinois. We got

638
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: Cublic in the on deck circle. But first, I do

639
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: want to run through some National Signing Day takeaways. Hey, Jesse,

640
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: just an audible here, Colin, just an audible. The busted

641
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: bold prediction segment. We're going to scrap that one because

642
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: we have the entirety of January to go through that.

643
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: So this is live traffic. We're gonna do National Signing

644
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: Day takeaways and then we'll do FanDuel, we'll do Zvia,

645
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: we'll do FanDuel, and we'll do cold. That's how you

646
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: know we're live. Otherwise we would cut that out National

647
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: Signing Days in the books. I'm always interested in how

648
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: you want me talking about signing Day. I don't do

649
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: week by week updates on it, but yesterday came and went.

650
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting dynamic because if we talk

651
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: about portal on the show, it does a ton of traffic.

652
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: If you talk about recruiting, it does less traffic. But

653
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: yet recruiting is and still is and always will be

654
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of building rosters. Just observation from me. So

655
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: you know how we get to this time of year

656
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: and everyone wants to yell SEC bias. If you give

657
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt to an SEC team, and you

658
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: give benefit of the doubt to strength of schedule in

659
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: the SEC, here's why. Yet again, twelve of the top

660
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: twenty classes were from the SEC, and then five of

661
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: the top twenty were from the Big ten. So seventeen

662
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: of the top twenty classes were from the Big two conferences.

663
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: Fifty eight of the top one hundred players in the

664
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: country signed with SEC teams. Is that right, Jesse? Fifty

665
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: eight of the top one hundred. That is more than

666
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: all other power for conferences combined. That's why there's the

667
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: SEC bias piece. I'm just telling you when it comes

668
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: to an either or and I have to make a

669
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: call one way or the other, and you see me

670
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: lean SEC. That right there is why. And I'm going

671
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: to tell you because I know in advance what the

672
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: comments are going to say. Some of you are going

673
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: to say, oh, well, it's it's self fulfilling. The SEC

674
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: gets overrated, so then when kids commit to them, those

675
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: kids recruiting rankings are overrated. Here's how I know that's wrong.

676
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: Number one, because forever the SEC teams have then performed,

677
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: they've lived up to But also, if all of the

678
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: other conspiratorial nonsense is true, you've never been able to

679
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: sell me on the hammer. The hammer is you have

680
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: to sell me on the NFL being in on it too,

681
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: because they also dominate the NFL draft every year. So

682
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: either the recruiting industries in the Tank forum, the committees

683
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: in the tank Forum, the aps in the tank forum,

684
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: all the networks are. I'm in the tank forum. Every

685
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: NFL general managers in the tank Forum. Or it could

686
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: be that it's just a more talented league and a

687
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: deeper league and they play a little bit higher caliber

688
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: of football. You're in, You're out. It could be one

689
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: of the two. You guys can decide. But I always

690
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: harken back to National Signing Day and eighteen of the

691
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: top eighteen of thirty five five stars from the SEC too,

692
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: So that's great. It was a good day for the SEC.

693
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: It will not work for Clemson. When I was looking yesterday,

694
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: I keep waiting, all right, do something, Clemson, do something.

695
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: The twenty fifth ranked class in the country, no portal.

696
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna work. Man. I hate this,

697
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, because like I kind of root for Clemson,

698
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: but I look at them in the ACC Championship game

699
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: this weekend and I can't help but think like Clemson

700
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: will never be closer to their former self than they

701
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: were yesterday and then tomorrow. I'll say that about today,

702
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: which is a weird way of saying I think they're fading.

703
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: They had the fourth highest rank class in the acc

704
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: Clemson is not the class of this conference anymore. Georgia

705
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: Tech just out recruited them. And Georgia Tech can get

706
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: it done in the portal. It's a different it's a

707
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: different kind of ask to be able to get a

708
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: kid to get into Georgia Tech. That's the whole point

709
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: they're doing it. Anyway, Florida State didn't even have a

710
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: great class and they outrecruited Clemson. I mean, Miami did

711
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: not put a vintage Miami class together. They still out

712
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: recruited Clemson. Like, I don't know, I don't think it's

713
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: gonna change. I'd be surprised if it did. We do

714
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: need to check in on the program. We need to

715
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: check in on the program that used to be Alabama.

716
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: What happened in Tuscalooso, Jesse fifteenth twentieth BAMA finished top

717
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: twenty five. At least they had to have. I mean,

718
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: it can't fall off overnight, right finish what finish second

719
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: in what the state of Alabama? BAMA finished second in

720
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: the country. Well, that's impossible because I'm going back through

721
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: my notes and Alabama can't recruit under Kaylen de Bor.

722
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: They can't recruit the South specifically, can you do a favor.

723
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: Can you go to the website and check and make

724
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: sure that's right. That's probably just a type of Oh no,

725
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: it's not. Actually they signed the number one player from Texas,

726
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: Florida and California. Oh so they can still kind of

727
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: do it. You mean to tell me all that stuff

728
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: was kind of overblown. You mean to tell me that

729
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of cachet even post Nick Saban?

730
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: Or is that what you're telling me? Are you telling

731
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: me that at the end of the day, what it

732
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: really takes to recruit is being well resourced, which, contrary

733
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: to popular believe, this was never a poverty program that

734
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: was just getting benefit of the doubt, getting discounted rates

735
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: on players called Nick Saban. That was happening, but didn't

736
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: mean they couldn't do it when he left. And also,

737
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: are you telling me that brand means a lot still?

738
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: And are you telling me that it could be that

739
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: Caitlin de Boor when he got to Alabama decided, Huh,

740
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: I can staff a little differently here than I could

741
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: in Seattle. I can go after the kind of athlete

742
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: here that I couldn't in Seattle. Maybe that's even why

743
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: I took this job. You're telling me he was not

744
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: stupid the whole time, and they can kind of still

745
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: go and get a good player every now and then.

746
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: Auburn down the road finished number six. This is great

747
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: for Hugh Freeze because he's got the number eighteen, number ten,

748
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: and number six class his three years now, and that's

749
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: why the pressure's on him next year, and it should be.

750
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna go get a quarterback out of the portal.

751
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: They got Deuce Night in this class, which is not

752
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: a guy that I see them starting for them next year,

753
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: but they do need to go get a stopgap guy.

754
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: Six of their top seven signees were on defense, so

755
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 1: they are They are primed to be a really, really

756
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: big bounce back team this upcoming year. This is a

757
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: good signing class, but that means now three top twenty

758
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: classes are baked into the roster and they'll be able

759
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: to do things in the portal, including at quarterback. So

760
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: I like what Auburn and Alabama both did. How do

761
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: you not love what Oregon did? I asked Savannah State,

762
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: who has worked in this industry a long time. Actually,

763
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: I said, hey, did you see signing Day? If you didn't,

764
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: I want you to guess the top four ranked teams

765
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: in the country. She said, Texas has got to be

766
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: up there. Yep, they're number one, all right, Georgia yep. Three, Bama.

767
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: Of course you have Bama. Two. I say, of course,

768
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: because she worked there. Oregon, she nailed them four or four.

769
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: Oregon's just there now. They're just accepted as being in

770
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: that conversation. And so you can have two schools of

771
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: thought on that. You can either say, Wow, that's impressive.

772
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: This is the right school of thought, or you can say, oh,

773
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: Phil Knight, you know, like Oregon's the only place that's

774
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: got a big money guy throwing that money around. Don't

775
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: know if you check the headlines out of ann Arbor

776
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: last week. And congrats to Michigan as well, by the way,

777
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: but Oregon. Here's how I know it's more than that.

778
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: Here's how you'll know it's more than that. Watch how

779
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: they play a couple of cycles ago A and M

780
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: went and bought a class. How'd they play? Did they

781
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: look like they committed to play for A and M?

782
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: Or did they look like they committed to play for

783
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: a bag? Because I saw that and it looked like

784
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: the latter instead of the former. To me. I want

785
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: you to watch how these guys play for Oregon. Watch

786
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: how they have been playing for Oregon. Oregon is well resourced,

787
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: they're deep pocketed, and it takes that. But you know

788
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: what else it takes to win with them selling Oregon

789
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: the same way Texas has sold Texas the same way

790
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: Georgia has sold Georgia. Because see, when it really comes

791
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: to fourth and short and you need guys to bow

792
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: their neck and get a stop, the ones who are

793
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: going to be able to be counted on to do

794
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: that for you are not the ones that you just

795
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: paid the most money. So they're the most talented so

796
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: they came here. It's the ones who you probably paid

797
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: a fair amount. But it's also the ones that you

798
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: then said, Okay, here's the money we're willing to give you.

799
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: But here's really what we need to know. Are you

800
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: about this, this and this cause if you're not about that,

801
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: if you're not about Oregon and the way we do

802
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: things at Oregon, then we're wasting this and you're wasting

803
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: your time because you're gonna flame out and you're gonna

804
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: take a small bag here but cost yourself a big

805
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: bag down the road. That's how this actually works. It's

806
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: not just go buy a bunch of top fifty players.

807
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: It's use your money wisely, but also go find guys

808
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: that fit Oregon or any of a number of these

809
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: other classes. Michigan is number seven right now and they're

810
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,959
Speaker 1: still in it for another guy. It's a huge deal.

811
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: That's a higher finish than I remember them having under Harball.

812
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: Bryce Underwood, number one quarterback in the country, committed the

813
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: other day, think about ten days ago. So ten days ago,

814
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: Michigan does not know they're gonna get Underwood two weeks ago,

815
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: whoever that was. They don't know they're gonna get Underwood.

816
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: They think he's going to LSU. Still, they're a twenty

817
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: point dog against Ohios date, things are very bleak, and

818
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: now they just got their fourth winning a row over

819
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 1: Ohio State. They just finished with a top seven class

820
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: at least, and things are looking up. Things are looking up.

821
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: So you just got to keep chopping, man, got to

822
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: keep chopping. FSU at twenty fifth, I don't know there

823
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: was no I don't know FSU at twenty fifth. I'll

824
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: tell you this. Florida ended up being eleventh in the country.

825
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: Miami fourteenth, Florida state twenty fifth. You're telling me, Billy Napier.

826
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: You're telling me Olcadie down there, Brie and Billy Napier.

827
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: Not necessarily in that order, but not far from it.

828
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: They locked down the best class in the state of Florida.

829
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: Every one of them was run out of town on

830
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: every message board I saw like a month and a

831
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: half ago, and they just landed a borderline top ten class.

832
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: That's getting the job done. That's getting the job done.

833
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: I told you guys in spring, a lot of really

834
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: good folks in that building because they know in every

835
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: game HM National Signing Day. I cannot tell you how

836
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: many National Signing Days I have taken off from school,

Speaker 1: from work. It's a crack open a zvia. It's a fun,

838
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,600

839
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: first time I've tried it on air, not to be

840
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: confused with the first time I've tried it root beer.

841
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: There you go, zero sugar. The contest continues. Before we

842
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: get cublic in here, I'm gonna give you a couple

Speaker 1: of you are taking that plus a case of my

852

Speaker 1: favorite flavor, which is cream soda, plus a chalice of supremacy.

853
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: I would call it the most relevant Christmas zero sugar

854
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: soda contest in the modern era. At the very least.

855
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: FanDuel exclusive odds provider of the show. I got two

856
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 1: best bets I'm about to give you, but before I do,

857
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: I want to remind you. Of course, you've got the

858
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: new sign ups. You can bet five to win one

859
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: fifty and free bonus bets. But there's an interesting wager

860
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: that you can make on FanDuel right now. Penn State

861
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: to be the five seed in the playoff is plus

862
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: seven hundred. I actually think Penn State's gonna be the

863
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 1: five seed in the playoff, so I bet this earlier

864
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: today as much as I could. I don't disagree with

865
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: FanDuel a lot. I disagree the traders and I need

866
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: to talk after I put the bet in. Of course,

867
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: cause Penn State to be the five seed. I think

868
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. We'll see, all right. Here are two

869
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: games I'm on this weekend. I did not hand these

870
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: out earlier in the week, so this is the first

871
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: time I've shown both of these. I'm taking the under

872
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: in the ACC Championship game SMU and Clemson. I'm taking

873
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: under fifty five and a half. I actually don't think

874
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: that game gets over fifty. So I love fifty five

875
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: and a half, and I am laying the points with

876
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: Texas minus two and a half. I just love the

877
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: spot for Texas, So Texas minus two and a half

878
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: SMU Clemson under fifty five and a half. Sign Up

895
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: to say, it was a tough decision that I had

896
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: to make a couple of weeks ago. Someone was supposed

897
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: to be here and much like me sleeping through my

898
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: scheduled interview with Kirby Smart at Media Days a couple

899
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: of years ago, that someone did not show up, and

900
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: like any parent, I had to punish. And it's not

901
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: that I wanted to. I didn't relish in it, but

902
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,479
Speaker 1: I had to punish. So you know that someone's here,

903
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: and it's Cole Kublick. If you want to explain to

904
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: people why you've been suspended for two weeks. I'll let

905
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: you do it. I don't want to air out your

906
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: business and we could just move on with our life here,

907
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: but I will give you thirty seconds here, you have

908
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: the floor. Do you have anything you want to say

909
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: to all the people you let down?

910
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I would like to take this time to.

911
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 3: Apologize to absolutely no one for what has happened over

912
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks involving this show. The intrusion

913
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 3: on my personal life was unnecessary. The attacks on my

914
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 3: character were embarrassing, and you're lucky that I'm back.

915
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: All right, how about this SEC Championship Game? Are you

916
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: going to be on the field for this? Did I

917
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: hear that you're doing the mega cast?

918
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: You heard correctly. It's going to be fun. I'm excited

919
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 3: about it. It's I've done this now. This is a

920
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: third year a row that I've done it. So we

921
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 3: did TCU Michigan, we did Sugar Bowl last year, so

922
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 3: now SEC Championship Game. Of course, we know what happened Georgia,

923
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 3: Texas last time. Incredible game. Excited to see how it

924
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 3: might be a little bit different this time. Marty mcgeilll

925
00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: be down there with me.

926
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: It's gonna be cool. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

927
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: So my feel on this is I like the spot

928
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: for Texas a lot. I felt like when that first

929
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: game went down, situationally, the way it played out probably

930
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: not gonna be duplicated now that. I don't mean Georgia

931
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: couldn't go win by three touchdowns the next time they play,

932
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: just probably won't look like Georgia starting in plus territory

933
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: on their drives as much as they did the first

934
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: time around. But I am so interested with the way

935
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: Texas was able to run the ball on A and

936
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: M and just the overall challenge that Sarks said I

937
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: gave this entire organization when we self assessed a month ago.

938
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: We know where we want to get, we know what

939
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: elements we're lacking, and we think we should have those elements.

940
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: And they've run the ball better. And I actually think

941
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: it's Georgia probably that has the tougher time running the

942
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: ball this Saturday. I just like what Texas brings right

943
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,959
Speaker 1: now more man, I think they are ready to peak

944
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: at the right time. I think offensively, they need to

945
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: play at about a six level one to ten scale

946
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: because of how complimentary defensively they can be. I mean,

947
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: they can win a game like they did last week.

948
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: They didn't need to score twenty points and they won

949
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: a game. I just I feel like it's their time.

950
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: How do you see this?

951
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

952
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 3: I like Texas right now. I think some of this

953
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 3: is going to have to do with and you've seen

954
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 3: this happen. We've all seen this happen. Kirby Smart the

955
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 3: master motivator where he can make his team believe that

956
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 3: nobody thinks that they have any chance to win. They

957
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 3: come out and they just play like their hairs on fire.

958
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: I said coming out of that game last time on

959
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 3: my show that it felt like Georgia had a point

960
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 3: to prove that they just had a little more expletive

961
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 3: about them. And they went out there and they did

962
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 3: that like they they knocked Texas around, They pushed them around,

963
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 3: They punched first and punched last in that game.

964
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 2: Can that happen again? Can it happen to that extent?

965
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 3: I do feel like the Texas confidence should probably be

966
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 3: a little bit better. And I'm always intrigued with the

967
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 3: second time around, is that the team that has the

968
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 3: confidence from all right we beat you, we know we

969
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: can do this, we beat you last time. Or is

970
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 3: it the team that says, well, if we didn't do this, this, this,

971
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 3: and we can correct those mistakes and approach this from

972
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 3: a different angle, we have better opportunity. I don't think

973
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 3: Georgia has a lot of success running the football. If

974
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 3: they get in third and lungs, I think they're in

975
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 3: trouble because I think Colin Simmons tray More can give

976
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 3: the Texas tackles who have been a bit of a

977
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 3: liability in pass protection this year. Some real problems go

978
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 3: back to last week. Two things happened with the Georgia offense. One,

979
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 3: I think Mike Bobo did an incredible job hiding the

980
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,280
Speaker 3: tight ends and utilizing the tight ends in different ways,

981
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 3: whether it was quick throws, whether it's having extra blockers,

982
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 3: whether it was check down screens.

983
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: He used the tight ends extremely well.

984
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 3: The other thing that Carson Beck did is he checked

985
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 3: the football down and it sounds like we had our

986
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 3: Sunday meeting for read and react. That was the first

987
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 3: thing that I said about the Georgia game in Roman said,

988
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 3: I haven't watched it yet, you know whatever, And he

989
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 3: called me and he's like, man, I'm watching Georgia. He's like,

990
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 3: you're exactly right. He goes, I can't believe. He's like,

991
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 3: this is the game. He's like, these checkdowns are the game.

992
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 3: There was a first intent that went for a first down.

993
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 3: There were two second and tens. There was a third

994
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 3: and ten, all with Carson Begg just deciding to get

995
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 3: the ball down to the running back and let them

996
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,479
Speaker 3: go pick up yard. It's part of that was because

997
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 3: how Georgia Tech defended it. The other part was him

998
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 3: playing within the system. He hadn't turned the ball over

999
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 3: in his last four games. You know, he went for

1000
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 3: I think eleven interceptions in like a four game span

1001
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 3: in the middle of the season after having none the

1002
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 3: first few games.

1003
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 2: So if he plays within the scheme, plays.

1004
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 3: Within the system, that offensive line can keep him clean

1005
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: and they're not in third and ten and twelves and

1006
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 3: third and eight's the entire game, George's got a good

1007
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 3: chance to move the ball offensively.

1008
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,760
Speaker 2: But going back to that other side, the other.

1009
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 3: Thing that the Georgia defense did extremely well, Josh, they tackled.

1010
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 3: They tackled in the open field because Texas got dudes.

1011
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 3: I mean, they've got thoroughbreds that have real juice when

1012
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 3: they're in the open field, and sarkles how to get

1013
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 3: him in the open field. But the amount of times

1014
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: that a Georgia defender was one on one with a

1015
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 3: Texas receiver or ball carrier out in the perimeter on

1016
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 3: the flat and they made that tackle in the last game,

1017
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 3: that has to happen again if george is gonna win this.

1018
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: Hey, that first time they played, you were talking about

1019
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: what Georgia did physically, which we all saw. Did it

1020
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: surprise you they did that? It doesn't surprise me when

1021
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: Georgia does that to many people. To do it to

1022
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: the degree they did to Texas in Austin or on

1023
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: the moon, that surprised me a little bit. And looking forward,

1024
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: if Georgia wins Saturday, they win Saturday. But if they

1025
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: do it by imposing their will physically a second time

1026
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: on Texas a team you've seen in person, I've seen

1027
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: him in person like that, It's just very hard for

1028
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: me to imagine someone doing that to them once, let

1029
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: alone twice.

1030
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't.

1031
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 3: It was a little bit surprising, But when you watched

1032
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 3: it and you realized how Georgia made Texas wrong a

1033
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 3: lot in that game. Specifically, when Georgia was on defense,

1034
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 3: they did a great job of forcing them into the

1035
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 3: protections they wanted them to be in, and then they

1036
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 3: were able to get there like that corner crash that

1037
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 3: you see on your screen right there, and they were

1038
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 3: able to take advantage of it. Not overly surprising the

1039
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 3: physicality Jos, because how many teams have we seen over

1040
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 3: the years that, whether it's been some of those Nick

1041
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 3: Saban Alabama teams, some of these Kirby Smart Georgia teams,

1042
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 3: and we thought, ohoh, this is gonna be a good

1043
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: mass up, like this can be fun to watch, and

1044
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, here it comes, and that team

1045
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 3: wasn't ready for it. So some of these super physical

1046
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 3: SEC teams that we've seen over the years, you kind

1047
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 3: of got to get in there and throw a couple

1048
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 3: punches with them to really know what it's gonna be

1049
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 3: all about. Now, like you said, they should have an

1050
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 3: idea this time. Can they counter that be a little

1051
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 3: bit more ready, more prepared.

1052
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 2: We'll see.

1053
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 3: But I don't think I was super surprised, just because

1054
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 3: the last few Georgia teams, all those Bama teams, some

1055
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 3: of those LSU teams like they hit you in a

1056
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 3: different way, and if you don't know what that way is,

1057
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna look like that.

1058
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing I can't get out of

1059
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: my mind, although I picked Texas to win the game,

1060
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: is remember last year, George is waiting in Atlanta and

1061
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: it's Alabama who's on the ropes fourth and thirty one

1062
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: in the Iron Bowl, and they just get out of

1063
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: there somehow someway and they go to Atlanta and then

1064
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: they're totally transformed days later and they play as perfect

1065
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: a game as Alabama can play, but physically they match

1066
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: up with Georgia, probably lean on Georgia a little bit.

1067
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: And you're washing it. You're saying, this is the team

1068
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: that barely got out of Jordan Hare Stadium six days ago,

1069
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: And the answer is yeah. But they recruit against each other,

1070
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: they're perfectly built to face each other. They staff against

1071
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: each other, and to a degree, that's the Texas Georgia dynamic.

1072
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: And I mentioned in that because I got a buddy

1073
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: of mine who is like adamant that the team that

1074
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: showed up and struggled against Georgia Tech and went to

1075
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: nineteen overtimes against Georgia Tech versus the team that just

1076
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: really took it to A and M. That's a total mismatch. Well,

1077
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: I get where you're coming from, but we need to

1078
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: go back one year and one year only to watch

1079
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: a team that's struggling the week prior. Go face the

1080
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: team that looks prime. They're the number one team in

1081
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: the country, they're undefeated, and see who came out on

1082
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: the top. And then ask yourself, at the end of

1083
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: those four quarters last year in Atlanta, did anyone mention

1084
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: the Iron Bowl at any point that afternoon? And similarly,

1085
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: this Saturday, I could see a scenario where Georgia just

1086
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: goes and takes it to him again, and you're like, boy,

1087
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: that Georgia Tech game feels like it was nineteen years ago, which.

1088
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 3: Is why sark is one of the more important components

1089
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 3: of this game. So let's take that Auburn team last year,

1090
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 3: Hugh Freezing company, different formations into the boundary, a lot

1091
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 3: of misdirection, a lot of pen and pull. They stole

1092
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 3: the eyes of that Georgia defense. Go to what Georgia

1093
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 3: Tech and Buster Faulkner just did a week ago. They

1094
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 3: had that defense looking left, looking right, jumping out of gaps,

1095
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 3: not fitting the run correctly, and then if you don't

1096
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 3: do that to that football team, they're able to hit

1097
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 3: you a different way. When that confidence is there and

1098
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 3: they're able to rev that engine and get a full

1099
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 3: head of steam coming at you, you're not going to

1100
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 3: be able to withstand that. Now, if you catch them

1101
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 3: shifting gears and kind of looking through the GPS trying

1102
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 3: to figure out the coordinates, that's going to be a

1103
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 3: different kind of impact that you're gonna get. So if

1104
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 3: they can steal the eyes, if they can get that

1105
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 3: defense drifting lets the right just a little bit, they'll

1106
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 3: have that option or tunity not to let the physicality

1107
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 3: overtake them. Texas that is, but they cannot let those

1108
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 3: young men get their cleats in the ground and get

1109
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 3: downhill on them.

1110
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 2: If they do that, you're in trouble.

1111
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 3: If you can get them leaning that back a little

1112
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 3: bit and they can give them thinking just a little

1113
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 3: bit more, moving side to side a little bit too much,

1114
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 3: that's when you have the opportunity to hit some home runs.

1115
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 3: Because Texas runs on cutbacks have been fantastic this year.

1116
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 3: Some of the quicker throws of the perimeter where the

1117
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 3: defense is kind of thinking there might be something inside

1118
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 3: and they're able to get north and south. Those have

1119
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 3: been great to me. Think back Michigan throws of the

1120
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 3: perimeter explosive plays a couple of different games this year

1121
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 3: for Texas. You spit it out and you're able to go.

1122
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 3: They didn't do that against Georgia because Georgia wasn't thinking

1123
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 3: a lot in that game.

1124
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 2: They were reacting in that game.

1125
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 3: You want to try to find a way to make

1126
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 3: that defense think, and that's what hu Frees and Auburn

1127
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 3: did two years ago to Alabama's defense, kind of made

1128
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 3: them sit back so they didn't have to withstand that punch.

1129
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 3: It's what Buster Faulkners just did to Georgia last week.

1130
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 3: Didn't have to sit there and let them get downhill

1131
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 3: come right at them. So Sark and company have to

1132
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 3: make that defense think and not be able to just

1133
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 3: see ball get ball, because they're not going to be

1134
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 3: able to stand that if they do.

1135
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: This Big Ten Championship game up in Indianapolis, it's the

1136
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 1: last game that's going to be happening Saturday. It's Penn

1137
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: State three and a half point dog against Oregon. You're

1138
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: like me. You think this is going to be a

1139
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: really competitive game for some reason. The working theory nationally

1140
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: is this is comfortably Oregon, and if you believe that,

1141
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: that's your prerogative. But there's just free money if it's

1142
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: legal in your state, there's just free money sitting there.

1143
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: Oregon's only got to win by four guys. You think

1144
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: this is going to be a fight. I explained earlier

1145
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: in the week why I think that a unique pass

1146
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: rush situation. Here. You've got the number one team in

1147
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: the country in Penn State in seconds to pressure. Oregon

1148
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: had faced a team like that. I don't even think

1149
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State's pass rush, just pure pass rush presented that

1150
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,439
Speaker 1: kind of challenge. Love the matchup of those I love

1151
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: to watch the matchup of those two transfer corners, Penn

1152
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: State going two for two in getting starting corners out

1153
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: of the portal in Kimber and Harris, and those guys

1154
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: against like Evans Doert and Tess Johnson. You can say

1155
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: Penn State hasn't seen an offensive threat like that all year.

1156
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: I would argue Ohio State has the personnel, but they

1157
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: probably call the game different than the Oregon will. But

1158
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: I'd also argue it's a pretty unique defensive personnel set

1159
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: that Oregon deals with this week too. I think Oregon

1160
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: comes out on top. I think it's decided late. How

1161
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: do you see that.

1162
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 3: I think it'll be a tight game. Also, I think

1163
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 3: physicality might be a little bit on the side of

1164
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 3: Penn State here. I also think some of what Penn

1165
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 3: State does schrammatically on offense could be on their side.

1166
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 2: In my opinion, when.

1167
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 3: I watch Oregon, a lot of it is not necessarily

1168
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 3: individuals overwhelming you. A lot of the success that they

1169
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 3: have getting into the backfield, penetrating, disrupting is because of scheme,

1170
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 3: and then they have really good athletes on top of

1171
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 3: that that are doing it. And a lot of the

1172
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 3: ways that Penn State runs the football I think can.

1173
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 2: Offset that a little bit.

1174
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 3: Lack of mobility at quarterback concerns me some, but they've

1175
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 3: got to get the run game going. I think they

1176
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 3: have to maintain possession. The key is if they can

1177
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 3: find a way to get any sort of pressure with four,

1178
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 3: maybe even three up front, not let those deep balls

1179
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 3: get over the top, then Penn State has a chance.

1180
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 3: And that's where Oregon just absolutely devastates you. They get

1181
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 3: the explosive plays they break your back by going up

1182
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 3: top and then you don't have anything that you can

1183
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 3: do about it. So, like you said, getting to the

1184
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 3: quarterback quickly is gonna be massive, especially if that happens

1185
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 3: with that defensive line. They have a weapon in Tyler

1186
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 3: Warren Penn. State's gonna be able to move around, utilize

1187
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 3: him in different ways.

1188
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 2: You can widen the.

1189
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 3: Surface, some carry the ball, catch the ball a lot

1190
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 3: of different ways that you can make that defense think

1191
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 3: about him, which might calm them down just a little

1192
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 3: bit as far as what they're calling and how they're

1193
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 3: calling it.

1194
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 2: But Drew Aller can't get in trouble. He's got to

1195
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 2: get the ball out quickly.

1196
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 3: He can't try to be somebody that manipulates the pocket,

1197
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 3: moves around, holds the ball.

1198
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:43,919
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna work for him in this game.

1199
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So anytime I put out the JP pole on

1200
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: the show, it doesn't matter how thoroughly I explain it.

1201
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna look at it and they're gonna see a

1202
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: team that's lost three games above a team that's undefeated

1203
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: or with one loss, and someone's gonna yell, we'll why

1204
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: even play the games if we're gonna put three loss

1205
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: teams above one loss teams? Why do we even play

1206
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: the games? It doesn't matter that I explained, it's not

1207
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: merit based, and this is not a reflection of what

1208
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: I think the rankings should be. So that's my version

1209
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: of that. Your version of that is you dared to

1210
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: have a take on Alabama South Carolina and I just

1211
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 1: so happened to tune into the show in time to

1212
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: hear some lady basically yelling the same thing at you. Well,

1213
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: if we're not gonna honor head to head, if you

1214
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: think South Carolina may be playing better ball, why don't

1215
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: we even play the games? So I ask you, I

1216
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 1: ask you, why are we even playing the games?

1217
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:33,479
Speaker 2: Why do we or better?

1218
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Yet?

1219
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 3: When we play the games, why don't we just stop

1220
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 3: after that game? So, if the head to head is

1221
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 3: so important with one individual team, let's just shut it

1222
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 3: down and go have a playoffs right now?

1223
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 2: Why do we play the rest of them?

1224
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter at that point. Listen, head to head's important,

1225
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 3: it's the most important.

1226
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 2: Factor, but there are other factors.

1227
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,479
Speaker 3: Because if you only lean on head to head, why

1228
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 3: is Vanderbilt not ranked ahead of Alabama?

1229
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 2: Why's Oklahoma not ranked a head of Alabama.

1230
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 3: Oh, because that's where our asterisks begin to come in,

1231
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 3: and that's where we put parentheses, and we have to

1232
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 3: explain ourselves, like well, head to head matters when it's

1233
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 3: two teams that have similar or the same record, that

1234
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 3: have gone through the season in the same way or

1235
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 3: on the brink of doing something similar in the postseason.

1236
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 2: Gotcha.

1237
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 3: So with all those qualifiers, now, head to head is

1238
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 3: what's the most important.

1239
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 2: Head to head.

1240
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 3: We'll always trump everything. I'll never argue that. I'll never

1241
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 3: say that it won't. We saw it on the field,

1242
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 3: it actually happened. But when you look at the all

1243
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 3: encompassing portion of this, you have to at least open

1244
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 3: up the discussion of who's playing the best right now.

1245
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 3: I think South Carolina's playing the best right now. Who

1246
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 3: has the best resume? I think Alabama has the best resume.

1247
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 3: Alabama also has head to head, so our argument was

1248
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 3: actually Alabama, South Carolina, Old Miss with a little bit

1249
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,959
Speaker 3: of Miami sprinkled in, which made it even more complicated.

1250
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 2: I take Miami out of that just based on the resume.

1251
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 3: And if you want to talk about the close losses

1252
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 3: down the stretch, We should also go talk about your

1253
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 3: four close wins, which all could have easily been lost

1254
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 3: this but nobody wants to mention those anymore. It's like

1255
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 3: they don't really account for anything. So I just think

1256
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 3: that it's you have to at least open it up

1257
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 3: and talk about all aspects of it, all parts of it.

1258
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 2: Do I think Alabama is getting in?

1259
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Yes?

1260
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 2: I do.

1261
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 3: Do I think that is a home run? One hundred

1262
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 3: percent right way to handle it? And should that be

1263
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 3: the team? Hell, Josh, I don't know this whole This

1264
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 3: whole thing is just beating your head against a light

1265
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 3: pole and then running three circles around it and then

1266
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 3: beating your head against it again. Because we're gonna go

1267
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 3: to head to head, then we're gonna go to resume.

1268
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 3: Then we're gonna go to who's playing the best right now?

1269
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 3: Who's won against the most top twenty five? Who won

1270
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 3: the most against top twenty five when they were ranked? Well,

1271
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 3: those teams are on the top twenty five, Now, where

1272
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 3: was it? So on, so forth.

1273
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 2: We could go on for days.

1274
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 3: It's literally a never ending discussion, and that's why it's

1275
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 3: fun and that's why we love it, because there is

1276
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 3: no period on that discussion.

1277
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 2: It doesn't stop. It's a run on sentence. It just

1278
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 2: goes and goes and goes.

1279
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 3: Because everything you say, I'll have something to say back,

1280
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 3: and then everything I say back, You'll also have something

1281
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 3: in return to say. There is no exclamation point on

1282
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 3: the end that stops the discussion.

1283
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you feel like you are fluent enough in

1284
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 1: both sides of these arguments that you could win either

1285
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: side of the debate on a given topic if I

1286
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: just told you which side to take, Because I feel

1287
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm well beyond that at this point, I

1288
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: could argue pro anything.

1289
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 2: Easily. Oh, miss, I can get them in South Carolina.

1290
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 3: I can get him in Miami would be more difficult,

1291
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 3: but I could probably get him in Alabama. Of course

1292
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 3: I could get him in no problem at all. Let's

1293
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,439
Speaker 3: talk about it. Your quarterback runs twenty three miles an hour,

1294
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 3: all right. He's got maybe one of the most physical

1295
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 3: offensive lines in college football. Yeah, they had in some

1296
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 3: issues early in the season, but their left tackle was out,

1297
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 3: their right guard was a little bit dinged up. They

1298
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 3: have great running backs, They have a dual threat offense.

1299
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 3: They can be a power run team. They can be

1300
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 3: a team that stretches you down the field. They have

1301
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 3: pass rushers on defense, they can win one on ones,

1302
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 3: speedy linebackers.

1303
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've lost the safety across the course of the year,

1304
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 2: but look at.

1305
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 3: This team what they've done against top level opponents. Who

1306
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 3: else knocked off Georgia this year but also has other

1307
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 3: wins like Alabama does?

1308
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 2: You could go on forever. What do you want? South Carolina?

1309
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 3: Lenora sellers how he's superman at the end of the

1310
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 3: game and just beat a team that might be the

1311
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 3: ACC champions.

1312
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Man, what a boss? Unbelievable?

1313
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: What else do you want? You want?

1314
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 3: Maybe the best combo of edge rushers in college football.

1315
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 3: A tight end in Joshua with Simon that's a Swiss

1316
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 3: Army knife.

1317
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 2: They can do everything.

1318
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 3: A running back that's been playing sec football for fourteen

1319
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 3: years and know us how everything operates and how it works,

1320
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 3: is proven, battle tested. That may be the most active

1321
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 3: group of defensive tackles in college football. As you're talking

1322
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 3: about depth and just what they're capable of doing. A

1323
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 3: group of linebackers that can all just fly around the

1324
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 3: field and play like their hairs on fire and eat

1325
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 3: glass and breathes fire and just destroy people, What do

1326
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 3: you want ole miss most talented group of wide receivers

1327
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 3: in college football? A running back that just had the

1328
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 3: longest play from scrimmage in the SEC this year.

1329
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 2: That has barely even played this year. They's plugging him in.

1330
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 3: He goes, sure, the offensive line is terrible, but they

1331
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 3: got an edge rusher they can get you. They got

1332
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 3: a d tackle they can get you. A defensive coordinator

1333
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 3: that's got them play in the right way. What else

1334
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 3: do we need? A quarterback that's season, that understands it's

1335
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 3: a system, a tight end that can do everything.

1336
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 2: Need I say more?

1337
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: No, someone told you to shut up in the live chat.

1338
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: So Rhet Lashley the other day goes on, I forget

1339
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: which show it was, whatever, but he made a point

1340
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people have made, and he said, wait,

1341
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: am I understanding this right? We're ranked Jesse? What are

1342
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: they ranked? Ninth? Where's SMU? They're ninth or tenth? Right, eighth,

1343
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: ninth tenth somewhere around.

1344
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 2: SMUs is eight.

1345
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: SMU's eighth right. Now, Okay, So I'm Rhet. Lastly, I'm

1346
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna improvise and I'm gonna do him from the other day.

1347
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: He said, am I understanding this right, we're eight, and

1348
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: if we were eight, then we weren't playing in a

1349
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 1: conference title game this weekend. We would be guaranteed to

1350
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: be in the playoff. Yes, everyone nods their head yes

1351
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: in the room. But we are playing in a conference

1352
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: title game. So they're telling me if we lose, we

1353
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: could drop out. Yeah, that could happen. He said, well,

1354
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: why don't we just sit out the game? What if

1355
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: we all got COVID this week? His words, not mine,

1356
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: and we just sit out the game? I mean, like,

1357
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: would we not be in? And you know the point

1358
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: he's making, and I know the point he's making, and

1359
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: it's a sound point, which is why I ask you,

1360
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: first off to reiterate your stance, because I think we

1361
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: agree with this. You think if SMU lose this Saturday,

1362
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: they're going to drop out and Bama's gonna be and

1363
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: that's what you think the committee will do, right? Yes, okay,

1364
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: I think the committee will do that. This is independent

1365
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: of what we think should happen, but that's what we

1366
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: think will happen. All right, So if that's gonna happen,

1367
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: do you think Ward Manual and or the Playoff Committee

1368
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: or whatever, do you think they're gonna go on TV

1369
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: and they're gonna say we dropped SMU out because they

1370
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: lost their conference championship game. Is that what you think

1371
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: is gonna come out of their mouth?

1372
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 3: It will be a portion of it, and then what

1373
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 3: will the rest of it be? They didn't plan with

1374
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 3: the strength to schedule that those other teams did. When

1375
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 3: they watched those teams play, they didn't see a team

1376
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 3: that was as capable as they were, and they didn't

1377
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 3: do as many impressive things across the course of the season,

1378
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 3: and so on and so forth, other football technical related

1379
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 3: jargon about voting for teams that we don't understand.

1380
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and data point, data point, data point. In other words,

1381
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna say a bunch of stuff that we already

1382
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: know now, and that they already know now, because none

1383
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: of what you just said is going to change between

1384
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: now and Sunday morning, so they already know it. So

1385
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: my question, if that's the way they're gonna go, and

1386
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: you and I both agree they would, why don't you

1387
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 1: already have SMU behind Alabama? Look, why would you set

1388
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: yourself up to this?

1389
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 3: It's what you just said as to they already know

1390
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 3: that is where I just I can't, and those aren't

1391
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 3: your words. You're saying that they've already stated that, which

1392
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 3: they did, and that is whether it's been fourteen, twelve,

1393
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 3: team whatever committee. By far, I think the most egregious

1394
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 3: thing that has been stated in any of these conversations

1395
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 3: on a Tuesday night since it's happened, because it's just

1396
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 3: flat wrong. If Clemson wins the ACC Championship, everyone who

1397
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 3: has paid Clemson their strength of schedule changes drastically. Not

1398
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 3: only do they get an extra win, they either defeated

1399
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 3: or lost to a conference champion at that point, same

1400
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 3: thing with every other team on that list. So to

1401
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 3: say that nothing changes, and then to backtrack in and say, well,

1402
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 3: we've already accounted for that, but you can't account for that,

1403
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 3: because then they couldn't be ranked where they're ranked right

1404
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 3: now if that had already been accounted for. I just

1405
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 3: it felt completely unnecessary to fast forward like that and

1406
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:19,719
Speaker 3: to move ahead and try to offset what may happen,

1407
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 3: to go ahead and justify it ahead of time. I

1408
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 3: don't know why you would even want to attempt to

1409
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 3: do that. You and I have talked about this. My

1410
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 3: mindset is hit the reset button every week, literally start

1411
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 3: over from scratch, look at it all again, take whatever

1412
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 3: data you take, I test you take, and then go

1413
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 3: through the schedules again, and then you lay it all out,

1414
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 3: because I do think it significantly changes if you're talking

1415
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 3: about a team that won another game.

1416
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 2: Like this Texas and Georgia situation.

1417
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 3: So we're not gonna we're not looking at either one

1418
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 3: of those two teams any differently. Well we are, because

1419
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 3: one's probably gonna get a bye if they win this game,

1420
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 3: and one, if they lose this game, is probably not

1421
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 3: going to sow. How can we say that the outcomes

1422
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 3: of these games don't affect those things?

1423
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 2: They absolutely do.

1424
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 3: It's just and RHTT made a great point on our

1425
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 3: show when he said I had not thought about it.

1426
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 3: Now we have thought about coaches who maybe said, do

1427
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 3: we play our starting quarterback? Do we play our running back?

1428
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 3: That's a little bit dinged up.

1429
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 2: Our left tackle had tightrope six weeks ago.

1430
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 3: He hadn't gotten all the way back, but he's been playing.

1431
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 3: Do we need him in this game? Do we just

1432
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 3: rest him and then get ready for our playoff run.

1433
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 3: We haven't had a real conversation about a coach saying

1434
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 3: why are we playing this game, and it has nothing.

1435
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 2: To do with health.

1436
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 3: It has to do with it feels like all we

1437
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 3: can do is play our way out.

1438
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 2: Now.

1439
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 3: You can counter that by saying, well, no, you win

1440
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 3: and you're in. He would counter that by saying, well, no,

1441
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 3: we're in now.

1442
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are we doing? Yeah.

1443
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 3: So that's why you cannot fast forward and try to

1444
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 3: move ahead and say that those things don't matter, because

1445
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 3: then you get into the conundrum that you and I

1446
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 3: are discussing right now, and it's ridiculous.

1447
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: The reason why I don't think it's a slam dunk,

1448
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: you said that as well, So neither you nor I

1449
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,719
Speaker 1: think it's a slam dunk that Alabama's in if SMU loses.

1450
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: We think it's more likely than not they're in if

1451
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: SMU loses. The one thing that I come back to

1452
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: is number one, it could just be a really really

1453
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: competitive overtime thriller in the ACC championship game. And they

1454
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 1: say we can't drop them out. But let's say they

1455
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: lose by ten, all right, whatever, and there is an

1456
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: argument being made we got to drop them out. We

1457
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: think Alabama's a better team. Well, someone in the corner

1458
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: of the room could logically say, all right, but if

1459
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: we thought that we already should have had Bama ahead

1460
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: of SMU last week, and then someone else could say, hey,

1461
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:38,719
Speaker 1: is anyone considered this? Head coach was like on live

1462
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: TV and radio this past week, actively claiming it would

1463
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: be reasonable for them to skip the game. Lane Kiff

1464
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks ago, when they were still

1465
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: in the mix, was actively saying, I don't even know

1466
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: if we want to go to the conference championship game.

1467
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 1: If we drop SMU out, we are crystallizing every conspiracy

1468
01:10:54,840 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: theory or every outright theory that devalues conference championship games

1469
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 1: that those networks have paid millions upon millions of dollars for.

1470
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 1: We're about to set a precedent here that we will

1471
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 1: punish you for making your conference title game if you

1472
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: lose it by dropping you out of a playoff that

1473
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 1: you were in when the day began. Do we really

1474
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: want to do that? I think there is a scenario

1475
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: where there are enough voices in the room that say, oh, yeah, man,

1476
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 1: we probably do think Alabama's better in a vacuum, but

1477
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 1: we can't set that precedent. That's not what we want.

1478
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: We want to maintain the value of those conference title games. Now,

1479
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: of course, we have long since detached ourselves from the

1480
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: reality of how this process should play out. That's another

1481
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: way I could see it going. There's no way to

1482
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: know because we've never done this before.

1483
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 3: No, and this is just next in line of the

1484
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 3: hundreds of things in college football, specifically the last three

1485
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,759
Speaker 3: to five years, that we have made a massive decision

1486
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 3: and not looked at the underbelly of what could possibly happen.

1487
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 3: And then, oh, no, you mean we can form this

1488
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 3: thing called a collective and they can just give kids

1489
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 3: money for being around and just hanging out here and

1490
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 3: that's the work. Oh okay, wait a minute. They can

1491
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 3: play in four games and then just go sit out

1492
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 3: the season and say they don't want to play football

1493
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 3: anymore because they know they're gonna go somewhere. We're supposed

1494
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,480
Speaker 3: to be helping these guys so they can get some

1495
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 3: play in time and see what they're like. And then

1496
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 3: if they still need that red short, if they get

1497
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 3: that injury, they could This is just next in line

1498
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 3: of the things that we haven't thought through and didn't

1499
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 3: think about what the actual impact would be. The difference

1500
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 3: is when it was four teams Josh Or when it

1501
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 3: was the mythical ap Pole or whatever bawlgame he ended

1502
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 3: up playing in and somebody decided who the national champion was.

1503
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 2: Is that you knew?

1504
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 3: Not many teams had an opportunity, So your conference championship

1505
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 3: meant alone. When I played football at Auburn, it was

1506
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 3: the first thing that we thought about because just being real,

1507
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 3: the national championship felt so far away. It was almost

1508
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 3: like we were gonna have to go to Jupiter to

1509
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 3: actually win that thing. So the conference championship meant a lot.

1510
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 3: Dare I say almost as much, because it just felt

1511
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 3: like it was more attainable. And that doesn't even mean

1512
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 3: winning it on the field. It just meant you handle

1513
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 3: your business. You know you're going to be there, you

1514
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 3: may handle your business, and the other stuff not even

1515
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 3: going to be there no matter what. And now with

1516
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 3: all these other opportunities that have presented themselves, it does

1517
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 3: not feel like it's as much of a priority. I

1518
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 3: don't know how you change that. I don't know where

1519
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 3: that goes back. And somebody says, no, it has to

1520
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 3: mean this because of this, because it would still mean

1521
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 3: a lot to me. I still think being the SEC

1522
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 3: champion is something that you can carry with you the

1523
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 3: rest of your life.

1524
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 2: Is something you should be proud of.

1525
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 3: Does it mean it means more than a playoff berth

1526
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 3: if you get smoked.

1527
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 2: In the first round. We don't know.

1528
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 3: We won't know maybe for ten, fifteen, twenty more years

1529
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 3: how people react to that.

1530
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 2: Maybe people there.

1531
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 3: Will be SEC Big ten ACC champions. They get put

1532
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 3: out of the first round and they can still lean

1533
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 3: on the fact that they, you know what, we were

1534
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 3: SEC champions, we're Big ten champions, and they're proud of that.

1535
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 2: Down the road and it still matters. Is it going

1536
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 2: to I don't know, You don't know, None of us know.

1537
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 3: But what we do know right now is there's a

1538
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 3: lot of people looking around saying do we need to

1539
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 3: be doing this based on what.

1540
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 2: Else is out there?

1541
01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 3: Because before there was no conversation about what else was

1542
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 3: out there. It was the Mini Key Carcare Bowl or

1543
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 3: the pooh Land weeded or Independence Bawl. So you wanted

1544
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 3: at least that conference championship game because you didn't want

1545
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 3: to have to worry about those things.

1546
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 1: How's Cube Show doing? How you guys doing over there

1550
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 3: into a wall. I'm not really sure what that is.

1551
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 3: Still hadn't hit fifteen thousand. We're just kind of plodding

1564
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,639

1565
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 1: which other YouTube channels have confirmed, and we know that,

1566
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: and they won't mention you by name because they don't

1567
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 1: know your show's name, but they have confirmed that sometimes

1568
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: you say things that mean other things. But that's okay,

1569
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,640
Speaker 1: that's okay. It's just very very illustrative and we appreciate it.

Speaker 1: is Big twelve Championship game ends, I hang around a

1595
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: so those may be up on the YouTube channel earlier

1596
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: than they normally would be because we're all about service.

1597
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: The actual show for Sunday will be full college football

1598
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: playoff reaction. We'll have the brackets out, will know the matchups.

1599
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,400

01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: should just move all their games to Monday. They did

1606
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,519
