I mean you're okay boy, figure 38 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: out what do you mean? 39 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: A year ago? 40 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: A year ago, we were destined to see each other 41 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 3: before the national championship game and in a matchup between 42 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 3: two blue blood schools. And look at where we are now, 43 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: in the same exact place. You know how disappointed I 44 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: was that y'all didn't make it. Then, after I accepted 45 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: the fact that y'all didn't make it, how happy I 46 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 3: was that I. 47 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: Would get to throw this in your face. Yeah, I'm joking. 48 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: I'm joking. 49 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean the difference is you've got a new 50 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 4: coach and we'll see what happens from there. 51 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: Well, we did get a new coach, but you know, 52 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: we were definitely not in a position to have which. 53 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 4: By the way, it's interesting that you're trying to distract 54 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 4: off of what you said Friday. Distract made its waves. Yeah, 55 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 4: well you mean distract. That's exactly what I said. There 56 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: is no words to be twisted. You broke out some 57 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 4: stuff Friday that not a lot of people were aware. 58 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: Of, and I'm glad that you were aheadline. 59 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 3: I'm glad you had some awareness of the awareness because 60 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 3: you know the way the segment played out, it was 61 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: almost everybody was at like, did you like put Q. 62 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: Up on what was going on? And I said absolutely not. 63 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 4: No. You people forget like like I know people, I 64 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 4: know things going on. People talk to me about stuff. 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: Indeed, and it was well well done. 66 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 4: It's one of the reasons why like people think a 67 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 4: lot of it. It's so funny to me about the 68 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: college football playoff and how people have reacted to things 69 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 4: that I'm saying in regards to like, oh, it's because 70 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 4: it's about Notre Dame. It's like, no, Actually, We're going 71 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 4: to have a nice little segment here, and I'm going 72 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 4: to teach you some things why if I was a 73 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: Miami fan, I would be very frustrated with being left 74 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 4: out last year and almost being left out this year, 75 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: and I'll explain why. And if I was a college 76 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 4: football fan, or if I'm a BYU fan, I'd be 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: very upset about being treated differently then Bama was treated. 78 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: And there's reasons why. So we can all act like 79 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: everything's on the up and up and that money's not 80 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: involved and there's not motivation to get certain conferences certain 81 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: teams and have certain things happen. I mean, we talked 82 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: about we've talked about the college fall playoff, how the 83 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 4: committee right doesn't want to have rematches because we've already 84 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 4: seen these games, Like, what's the point of having a rematch. 85 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 4: We literally have two of them in the first round 86 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 4: in this year. Two I like matches personally, Well, okay, 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 4: rematches when they're not orchestrated the way they are by 88 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 4: this committee. So if you had a rematch where they 89 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: have to win a game or two to get there, 90 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 4: that's one thing, but they then have a rematch where 91 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 4: it's like, we've seen Bama Oklahoma. Does anyone really care 92 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 4: to see that again? Besides Alabama Oklahoma? Oklahoma's offense stinks, 93 00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 4: Alabama's defense and really offense in the SEC championshiame stinks. 94 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 4: We watched that before. Do we need to see Ole 95 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 4: Miss blowout Tulane again? We've already watched that matchup. Well, 96 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: but this is how we this is how we construct 97 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 4: our national championship in college football. And it's crazy because 98 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 4: you know, the playoff and tournament format is obviously one 99 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: of the greatest things about men's basketball, women's basketball, like 100 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 4: that March Madness, and it's celebrated, it's awesome. And instead 101 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 4: we have a network in ESPN that makes this drama filled, 102 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: stupid show on Tuesday nights and they use it just 103 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 4: to make money off of and then we get into 104 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 4: the playoff we're like, yes, this is for the national championship. Well, no, 105 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: it's not. You don't have the twelve best teams in there. 106 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 4: And I'm not like advocating too for saying like, hey, 107 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 4: a team like Tulane shouldn't make it in or jam 108 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 4: you shouldn't make it in. But again, as we talk 109 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: about this, I will show you how the how messed 110 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 4: up the entire processes. 111 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, let's get into Yeah, let's do it. 112 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: Let's radio formatics. We got radio formatics. 113 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: I mean, let's fire off. 114 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: You know, we've already gotten the particulars out of the way, 115 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: the details of the show out of the way. 116 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 2: College Football Playoff is out. 117 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: For those of you that aren't aware, here's you're one 118 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: through twelve, with Indiana as the number one seed. You've 119 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: got Ohio State two. You're going to have Georgia sitting 120 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: at three, Texas Tech at four. The five to twelve 121 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: matchup will be Oregon and James Madison. You're going to 122 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: see as well Miami and Texas A and M You've 123 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: got Ole miss Tulane as Brady mentioned, and you've got 124 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: the rematch of Alabama Oklahoma, which we saw previous earlier 125 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: in the year as well too. So missing in this 126 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: whole conversation is Notre Dame, who, in my opinion, was 127 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: strung along and strung along and strung along. 128 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: And I talked to Brady about this actually off. 129 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: The air, and it was, you know, in the midst 130 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: of a hardware store fire near his house. That the 131 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: idea that after wins, you would then decide to flip 132 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: Notre Dame in Alabama was the first signal, Okay, it's 133 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: our this is a script. It's a scripted television show. 134 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: They were written into the script and now we're getting 135 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: towards the final episode where the switch is gonna happen 136 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: and Alabama goes out gets knifed in the SEC championship 137 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: game wasn't even close, not even close. They've got three losses, 138 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: but they're in and Notre Dame is on the outside. 139 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: Look it in god Q, I'm gonna let you have 140 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: it like it's not. So. 141 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 4: There's a number of ways of looking at this, Like 142 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 4: there's the case for Notre Dame. And I think a 143 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 4: lot of people who look at Notre Dame's case were like, well, 144 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 4: they lost the head to head to Miami. That's correct. 145 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: And I think you guys know, and no one who 146 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 4: knows that I've talked about the situation is the comparison 147 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 4: to me was never Notre Dame in Miami. I've always 148 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 4: said that like head to head does matter, and that game, 149 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: if it's purely the only thing you're looking at has 150 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 4: to matter. So Notre Dame was never gonna go over 151 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 4: to go in ahead of Miami because of the head 152 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 4: to head. Now, the idea that we needed a team 153 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 4: in between the two to compare those two things, that's 154 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 4: where we start like making this a mockery when you say, like, well, 155 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 4: because there was BYU in between them, we weren't able 156 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 4: to really compare those two teams. And trust me, I 157 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: know because I'm sure LeVar back in the day, you know, 158 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 4: when he was talking to one girl, if there was 159 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: another girl between him, he never could look across the 160 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: bar and another girl to compare the two, right bar. 161 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 2: I mean that never happened yesterday. Damn Godrich. 162 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 4: But think about how stupid that argument. And now we go, well, guys, 163 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 4: there was a buffer. BYU was in between them. It's like, no, man, 164 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 4: you're comparing all those teams. You were looking at Notre 165 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 4: Dame's case, you're looking at Miami's case, you're looking at 166 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 4: BYU's case, you're looking at Bama's case. But the truth 167 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: of the matter was, in a week where Notre Dame 168 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 4: was ahead of Alabama, both teams won one much more 169 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: convincingly versus a losing team versus another team who was 170 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 4: a losing team in Auburn and nearly dropped that game. 171 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 4: They jumped Alabama ahead of Notre Dame, and the rationale 172 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 4: behind that is inexplicable. Some would say, well, you know, 173 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 4: the College Football Playoff Committee penalized Alabama too much when 174 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 4: they lost to Oklahoma, so this was a way of 175 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 4: moving them back where they should have been in the 176 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: first place. There was that little spun narrative out there. 177 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 4: There was others who felt like, well, this was actually 178 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 4: a move to put Alabama in a position where, regardless 179 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 4: of outcome, they were going to make it into the 180 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 4: College Football Playoff because they're Alabama and they've got a 181 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 4: good resume of wins, which, all right, are we not 182 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 4: going to then factor into who they've lost to and 183 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 4: how they've lost? You know, how are we looking at 184 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 4: these teams as what they are as teams? Are we 185 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 4: looking at just their ceiling by what they've done when 186 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 4: they've won. Do we look at their floor? Because the 187 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 4: floor is pretty low at Alabama. I mean, let's just 188 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 4: look at their Week one loss to Florida State, another 189 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 4: losing team who's bad. I guess we don't take that 190 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 4: into consideration, at least not those Week one games for Bama, 191 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 4: just for Notre Dame and Miami. So when you really 192 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 4: start looking at how this committee had compared the teams, 193 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 4: there was things they did along the way that made 194 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 4: no logical sense, no rational sense outside of saying this 195 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: was purely for TV. There was no reason to wait 196 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 4: to move Miami ahead of Notre Dame in the rankings. 197 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 4: They could have done it all year. Miami beat Notre 198 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 4: Dame week one. There was never a reason to move 199 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 4: Miami behind Notre Dame. Notre Dame started off zero to two. 200 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 4: They always could have kept Notre Dame behind Miami. So 201 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 4: the committee purely did this for theatrics as a part 202 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 4: of ESPN because it's Notre Dame and using that brand. 203 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 4: That's where I think a lot of people are frustrated 204 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: with this, because it's not just about not making the playoff. 205 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 4: It was being upon in a TV show for a 206 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 4: network that has no ties to that brand or that school. 207 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 4: And then when you look at the brands, they are 208 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 4: propping up Miami, which would have been the if they're 209 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 4: not for them. They're the only team representing the ACC 210 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 4: who owns the distribution to. 211 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 3: The ACC ESPN. An it was s CC. I didn't 212 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: know it was ACC. I didn't who was the distribution 213 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: to the SEC ESPN. They owned both. So when you 214 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 3: really look at what occurred, and if you look at 215 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: the Big twelve, it's split, it's FOX and it's ESPN. 216 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: So when you look at that, you go, huh, that's 217 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 3: kind of odd. 218 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 4: You got two of the teams that you're really trying 219 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 4: to prop those conferences up. Which and then just to 220 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 4: dive deeper into it, let's just talk about how Miami 221 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 4: got where they got and how the ACC got where 222 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 4: they got. Because as as I'm making a case for 223 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 4: what I think Notre Dame was frustrated by, you also 224 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 4: have to understand, you know, and we'll get to the 225 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 4: Bama and the SEC Championship game. But if you look 226 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 4: at the ACC Championship and how it was constructed, the 227 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 4: reason why they only have one team in that's an 228 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: at large bid, not their conference championship is purely on 229 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 4: Jim Phillips. It's purely on the ACC for the manner 230 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 4: in which they construct their tie breaking scenarios to determine 231 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 4: who plays in that championship game. So congratulations to Manny 232 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 4: Diaz and Duke and those players. They won the ACC 233 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 4: championship this year. Were they the best team in the ACC? 234 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 4: Of course not. And mind you, not only are not 235 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 4: the best team in the ACC, they weren't the team 236 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 4: that was gonna end up going on to go play 237 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 4: for a national championship, which is a shame because it 238 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 4: kind of provided like a false sense of what these 239 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 4: players and coaches could achieve because eight and five you're 240 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 4: not getting in the playoff. You're not and because of 241 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 4: the tie breaking scenarios that were I believe head to 242 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 4: head and it's like, you know, percentage of record versus 243 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 4: common opponents and their win loss record. That's the ACC's 244 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 4: tie breaking scenario to determine that Duke and UVA were 245 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 4: best suited to go play for the a SEC championship. 246 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 4: We find ourselves in this entire situation where you get 247 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 4: Tulane and James Madison, this Sun Belt champion, both the 248 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 4: part of the playoff. Now you're gonna ask why is that? 249 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 4: It's because the AAC, for example, in their tie breaking 250 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 4: criteria to determine who plays off for their their conference championship, 251 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: it reads like this head to head. Okay, if that 252 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 4: doesn't break the scenario, you go to the next thing. 253 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 4: What's that College football highest ranked College Football Playoff teams, 254 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 4: which makes the most sense for every conference that's trying 255 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 4: to play under the college football playoff to play for 256 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: a national championship. Ultimately, your conference is trying to determine 257 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 4: who are those best two teams they're gonna play for 258 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 4: our conference championship and then go on to play for 259 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 4: a national championship to represent our conference. And because the 260 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 4: ACC wasn't able to identify that they could send a 261 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 4: team with five losses to their conference championship that if 262 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 4: they win, which again, congrats to Duke, awesome game, awesome 263 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 4: seeing them to be able to survive and still you know, 264 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 4: go get that thing in overtime. But they could not 265 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 4: foresee that if that team was going to win, they 266 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 4: were gonna end up being left out of the playoff. 267 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 4: I mean, ESPN had a crew there waiting being like, oh, 268 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 4: we will see if Duke gets it. It's like, yeah, no, 269 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: there's no shot. There's no shot, Like what are you 270 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 4: talking about? And so, because of that and the way 271 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 4: it's word in the college football playoff, you had to 272 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 4: end up having the five highest rank conference champions get 273 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 4: access to the tournament. So you have the SEC, the 274 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 4: Big Ten, and the Big Twelve with Texas Tech, but 275 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 4: you still needed two more conference champs, so the ACC 276 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 4: gets left out. The AAC again, a better worded tie 277 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 4: breaking scenario allows North Texas and Tulane to play off 278 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 4: for it, and obviously Telane to move on into the 279 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: playoff and then James Madison from the Sun Belt, And 280 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 4: if they would have tweaked the language to be that 281 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 4: of the A in the ACC Championship, it would have 282 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: been Miami playing off against UVA. What would that have meant? 283 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 4: Miami probably beats UVA. There's an extra spot James Madison 284 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 4: doesn't get in. Notre Dame would have end up getting 285 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 4: into that large bit. It could have been byu that 286 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 4: would be then up for debate. So I'm not even 287 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 4: just making a case for Notre Dame, but based on 288 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 4: how the College Football Playoff Committee saw it, they did 289 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 4: rank Notre Dame ahead of BYU So that's who would 290 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 4: have gotten that final spot. So there's just one example 291 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 4: of the ineptitude of the ACC in that conference. Again 292 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 4: distributed by the ESPN ESPN has their hand in all 293 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 4: of this, and because of their own inability to determine 294 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 4: the best suited conference champion, they end up finding themselves 295 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 4: in the midst of all of this, completely fumbling it, 296 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 4: but then lucking out because the committee throws Miami in 297 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 4: there to save the ACC the representation, and again ESPN 298 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 4: for having a conference that was basically gonna be left 299 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 4: out because of the stupidity of those involved not being 300 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 4: able to figure out their own conference champion. 301 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 2: It they've kind of. 302 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: Spit on conference championship games basically is because they've they've 303 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: determined that well, look, you know as long as you 304 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: because anybody that watched the SEC title game that wasn't close. No, 305 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't competitive like atat like it never at one 306 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: point during that game did I look at it and go, oh, 307 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Alabama's got a shot here that 308 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: wasn't close. And so if you're using the same rationale 309 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 1: as to why BYU got left out or why. 310 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 2: It's okay, well then make. 311 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 4: It that that's the next part of the conversation is 312 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 4: why does BYU get like counter and knocked down after 313 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 4: the performance in their Big Twelve championship game and not Bama. 314 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 4: And in fact, on average over the of the four 315 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 4: team playoff for ten years, the average was teams that 316 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: lost in the conference championship would move down two spots. 317 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 4: And I just had someone send me a piece of 318 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 4: research and it was like the last three years, the 319 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 4: only team to lose in their conference championship and not 320 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 4: move down is Alabama. And to further that point, the 321 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 4: only team in SEC Conference Cheam championship history to not 322 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 4: score a point for three quarters is this year's Alabama team, 323 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 4: this year's Alabama offense. It was, by the way, Ty Simpson, 324 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 4: the passing game is the only thing that's kept that 325 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 4: entire offense together. They can't run the football, they can't 326 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 4: stop the run. This is not like your Nick Saban 327 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 4: Alabama teams. It's not I would be shocked if Oklahoma 328 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 4: and beat them again A and Oklahoma can't score poor 329 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 4: jeoh mateers got to deal with a surgey, grew repaired 330 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 4: thumb or a messed up thumb and their offense is struggled. 331 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 4: But like again, that plays to these ideas and thoughts 332 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 4: and conspiracy theories that this is what ESPN wants because 333 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 4: there are a lot of the teams that you know 334 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 4: they're beholden to, given their distribution within the SEC and 335 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 4: the ACC and how they wanted this whole thing to 336 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 4: work out. They didn't want to leave out of a 337 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 4: Bama team, which I think if you wanted to set 338 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 4: that precedent, you had every right to leave Bama au 339 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 4: based on that performance and laying an egg. But they 340 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 4: tried to send a message really to notre name that 341 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 4: they want to penalized teams for playing in a conference 342 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 4: championship weekend.

He said, 370 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: you know why is the question is why was Notre 371 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: Dame knocked down a spot and why were they swapped 372 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: with Alabama? Like that's and he tried, you know, he 373 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: tried to make the argument to be fair and balanced. 374 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: And Greg McElroy's like, well, I think they were just 375 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: correcting the fact that Alabama was punished too hard, dropping 376 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: from four to ten for their loss to Oklahoma. 377 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 2: It's like, all right, so what are we doing? 378 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: Are you script doctors Like hey, you know, we wrote 379 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: this thing out, but we didn't like how that went. 380 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: So after the fact, we're gonna go and then we're 381 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: gonna start correcting things like you did. 382 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: Like, is that how this whole thing is done now? 383 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 5: Like? 384 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: Is that is that? 385 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: Because if that's the case, then why waste anybody's time 386 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: in the build up until we get to the final rankings. 387 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: Just release the final rankings, figure out what you guys 388 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: want to do, and don't spend time discussing in a meeting, 389 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: Go to television, announce your rankings, and then a few 390 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: weeks later, decide, you know what, upon further review, we 391 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: were too harsh on them, We'll go ahead and swap 392 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: them the spot. Still think none of it makes sense. 393 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 3: The problem with what you're saying is it still runs 394 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 3: into the problem that Q was presenting, and that there 395 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 3: is it clearly showed itself this year. The agenda is clear, 396 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 3: it's clear and and and waiting to do the rankings. 397 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 3: I don't think that that rectifies it. Like the fact 398 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: of the matter is you want the teams in that 399 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 3: you want and they're representing the bottom line that it's 400 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: going to represent. I think it's very simple. I mean, 401 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: you just explained that the like gave y'all like a 402 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 3: class on it, And if you're taking notes on it, 403 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 3: you can understand more. 404 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: Of the why. 405 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, the dilemma is 406 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 3: you have conflicting interests with the people who own the 407 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: college football playoffs period, and they're going to make decisions 408 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 3: that are are weighted on how it benefits them most 409 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 3: because they are the platform that that has the control 410 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 3: over it. 411 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: I mean, that's just you know, it's about state something 412 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 2: real crazy. He now notre Dame knows what it feels 413 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: like to be. 414 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 3: I really was, now, b why you knows what it 415 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 3: feels like to be against the establishment. 416 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 417 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 4: Like, well, that's here's the reality to it is fight 418 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 4: we make a case that ESPN here you go, Budd, 419 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 4: you can equally hate the case that ESPN just hates 420 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 4: any religion. They hate Mormons, all of them. 421 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 2: There you go. 422 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 4: That's the thing is they hate all of them. 423 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: There you go. 424 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 4: Disney's become so sacrilegious that they just hate every sort 425 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 4: of a sense of faith. And that's that's what they're 426 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 4: puss pushing. 427 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 2: I knew we could get him there. I knew we 428 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 2: could get him there. 429 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 4: I mean, we could call it a conspiracy theory, but 430 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 4: it seems rather obvious to me that any form of 431 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 4: a belief and a higher being they're just trying to 432 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 4: push out, get them mad at there. Last time I checked, 433 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 4: is is TCU involved.

I just think ESPN hates God and 439 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 4: that's they're trying to take over, trying to act like 440 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 4: they're got out there in the college football playoff and. 441 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: The truth Shell said, you free. 442 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, how about them apples, ESPN, you just hate God, 443 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 4: You hate us Mormons, hate the Catholics. 444 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: Tackle to mapples. 445 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 446 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 2: Remember the Catholics, Well, those those believe in nothing. 447 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 4: Hurricanes fans, remember that ye blowing coke down in Southeast. 448 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 4: Let's let's go. 449 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: Remember the Catholics versus convicts.

We appreciate all the support from our families 522 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: and fans, and we're hoping to bring the twelfth national 523 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: title to South Bend in twenty twenty six, and they've 524 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of heat for that, you know, the well, mostly. 525 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 4: From ESPN folks. I think there's some other people who 526 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 4: want to like take a shot, take a hot take. 527 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 4: What's odd is this has actually happened for a number 528 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 4: of teams throughout the years. This isn't like the first 529 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 4: time a team has done it. They're just like, oh, 530 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 4: it's the first time a team's doing it because they 531 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 4: just found out they not didn't get in the playoff. 532 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 4: They're like the other teams like Kansas State and Baylor 533 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 4: and Iowa State. They've known for a while now they're 534 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 4: not going, so it's it's different. It's like, no, dude, 535 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 4: here's the reality of it. If you are Notre Dame 536 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 4: and you were propped up to think you were getting 537 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 4: into the playoff for no reason whatsoever other than for 538 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 4: TV dramatics, and now the very same network that has 539 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 4: shunned you wants you to come be a part of 540 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 4: an exhibition game. I'm sure there was a lot of 541 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 4: players who sit there and go, yeah, I'm good because 542 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 4: if you read the statement, this isn't just an athletic 543 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 4: director decision. It's not just a head coach decision. The 544 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 4: team decided not to. So for all the people out 545 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 4: there who don't know how this works, because Notre Dame 546 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 4: is not a part of an affiliated with a conference, 547 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 4: a partial affiliations with the a SEC, which maybe should 548 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 4: be up for debate after how things went this year, 549 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 4: there is you know, unless like when I was there, 550 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 4: unless it was a BCS like you didn't go. Now. 551 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 4: We went my sophomore year after Ty Willingham got fired. 552 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 4: But we had to vote because we were boeligible and 553 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 4: there was a young group of guys who wanted the 554 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 4: chance to try to practice and prove and get better. 555 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 4: And the older classmen were like, no, this is disrespectful 556 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 4: to the past players. If you weren't playing for a 557 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 4: national championship, it doesn't matter. That's how That's how a 558 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 4: lot of those players were and felt. We voted. It 559 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 4: was like a sixty to forty split. And here's the 560 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 4: thing that I'll say, after going through that experience, we 561 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 4: never should have went to that bowl game. And it 562 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 4: wasn't because of the experience. The experience was fine. We 563 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 4: had a ton of fun, No, I mean none of 564 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 4: the older upperclassmen took it seriously. The coaches were trying 565 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 4: to find new jobs, and that's you know, that's and 566 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 4: that's again that's part of that conversation too, where it's 567 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 4: like it's just a bad time of year for you 568 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 4: to play an exhibition game if you're not playing for 569 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 4: a national championship. This is like the type of thought 570 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 4: that people would have back PREBCS, where you'd play your season, 571 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 4: you'd declare who was the conference champ and then you'd 572 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 4: go and you play in a bowl game and they'd 573 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 4: declare who the national champion was. We're not in that 574 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 4: era anymore. We we have a playoff format. So what's 575 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 4: interesting from this the noted purely Notre Dame, is it's 576 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 4: always been how we've thought about things because that's all 577 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 4: we have to play for. Every year, you're either playing 578 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: for a national championship or you're not. So I don't 579 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 4: begrudge or I don't look at any of the players 580 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 4: coaches who've made this decision and going to judge them 581 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 4: for that. A because they're not the only school doing it. 582 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 4: There's other schools, And then they have other reasons. There's 583 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 4: new head coaches, you know coming in or they've just 584 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 4: had their head coach leave. So there's some pretty solid 585 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 4: rationale for it. But also I think we have to 586 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 4: look at bowl games a lot differently. These are exhibition 587 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 4: games that have no ties for doing anything that's going 588 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 4: to help these players outside of the young guys getting 589 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 4: a little bit additional practice and maybe some burn time 590 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 4: to play in a game. The risk is too great 591 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 4: for guys getting injured. A lot of these players they're like, hey, man, 592 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 4: I signed up and I'm getting paid now to go 593 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 4: play and win for a national championship, no different than 594 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 4: an NFL player going to play for a Super Bowl. 595 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 4: Once that's over, we done. And that's why guys are 596 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 4: opting out of the Pro Bowl. The risk is far 597 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 4: greater than the reward. It's why I at no other 598 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 4: level in college football, not FCS, not D two, not 599 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 4: D three, do we sit there and try to make 600 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 4: teams who are not playing in the playoff for a 601 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 4: national championship or playing in the playoff at the NFL 602 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 4: level go play an exhibition game. I do believe that 603 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 4: this only continue to have the ESPN concreated, concocted bull 604 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 4: season continue to go away, and that's what's really behind 605 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 4: all this. ESPN wants to push the narrative in the 606 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 4: forefront because that's who makes money off these other bowl games. 607 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 4: Everything outside of the College Fallall Playoff, and even including 608 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 4: the College Fatall Playoff. It's an ESPN event everything around it. 609 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 4: It's all ESPN Disney pushing this. So the people who 610 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 4: are dumb enough and blind enough to see us, they're like, oh, yeah, 611 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 4: I'll go player to choose a bull, have a bunch 612 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 4: of choose its.

F 654 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: you like they're one of the programs that sort of 655 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean clearly don't need a conference like they've made 656 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: that work for decades going on with. 657 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 4: A network outside of the ESPN, which is again the ESPN's 658 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 4: buttered about. 659 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: And also, like you mentioned, you know players opting out anybody, 660 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: Remember you're Jalen Smith. Anybody remember where he was supposed 661 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: to go in the draft and what ended up happening 662 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: to him. That guy's thirty years old. He should still 663 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: be in the league based on what his career was 664 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: like at Notre Dame. He took part in an exhibition 665 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: game leg never the same, never the same, and still 666 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 1: made a prob was such a good player even on 667 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: that knee, still made a Pro Bowl in his career. 668 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: So it's like you sit there and judge them all 669 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: you want, but you know you want him to be 670 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: a part of this whole thing. After you tell them 671 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: they're not good enough to be to be part of 672 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: the one that they want to be in. 673 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 4: It just yeah, And the last thing I'll say quickly 674 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 4: is the timing of bowl games that aren't actually a 675 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 4: part of the national championship conversation. They're awful, man. These 676 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 4: guys have a transfer portal window to prepare for. They 677 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 4: just had an early signing day period and window they're 678 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 4: gonna have early enrollies coming in. Like, if your entire 679 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 4: focus is on winning a national championship and it's now 680 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 4: been determined that notre name's not gonna have the chance 681 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 4: to do that, all your efforts and everything are is 682 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 4: going next year in twenty twenty six, is it not? 683 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 4: And so what you're trying to do is retention. Some 684 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 4: guys might be trying to transfer, figure out which guys 685 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 4: are draft eligible and who should go or come back, 686 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 4: and then figure out how you can enhance the roster 687 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 4: of the transfer portal. Wouldn't you want your focus for 688 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 4: your coaches to be there. There's not these robust scouting 689 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 4: departments like an NFL franchise. These guys are evaluating talent, 690 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 4: talking to players at hosting visits, all those things. That's 691 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 4: where the focus is on. 692 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 2: Now. 693 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 4: If players and people go, oh, the players get players 694 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 4: practice on their own. Dude, do you think you're not 695 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 4: as a quarterback of your CJ car now running practices 696 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 4: and seven on seven things on your own, Like, what 697 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 4: world do you think we live in now? They're like 698 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 4: locked out because they're not playing in a bowl game. 699 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 4: I would be in there with scripts, running seven on 700 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 4: sevens versus the defense, probably two three times a week, 701 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,959 Speaker 4: and we'd film it. We go back and watch together. 702 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 4: The A's a group that was happening twenty years ago. 703 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 4: You don't think it's happening now. Those guys can't do 704 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 4: the players can't get together and do that. It's just 705 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 4: it's absurd that people buy into these narratives set by 706 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 4: ESPN and Disney trying to line their pockets because it 707 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 4: doesn't benefit them, and they just mindlessly tag along instead 708 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 4: of actually stepping back looking at it and like, actually 709 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 4: it makes sense to not playing one. 710 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I don't know what you guys 711 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: are up to Saturday night, but I'll be partaking in 712 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: the bucked up l A Bowl between Boise State and 713 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: Washington on ABC. 714 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 2: So that'll be I've got two kids in that game. 715 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 2: Yeah that coached? 716 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 4: What up? 717 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 2: Two kids?
