1 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: Against doctors orders. Here we are sick. No voice, that's 2 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: a live and I got a little bit of a voice. 3 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: It's just gonna sound a little distorted tonight, but we 4 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: can't miss this show. It can't be not jam packed. 5 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: There's some double negatives in there, but it's not nearly 6 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: as negative as losing your job, which Hugh Freeze has 7 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: done today. It brings me no joy, but we got 8 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: to talk about it. It is a full reaction show 9 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: where jam packed high atop a dark downtown Nashville, Tennessee. 10 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 1: Why well, because this country still hasn't gotten its out 11 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: together about standard savings time and daylight savings time. And 12 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: everybody this side of Danny Knell understands it shouldn't be 13 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: dark at four forty eight pm outside my window here. 14 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: But yet here we are, and here we are after 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: week ten, got full reaction on the show tonight. As 16 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: I said, and I know some of you have been 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: at church today, or you've been at pot luck, or 18 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: you've been at grandma's house, and you don't know what 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm about to tell you, which is Hugh Freeze has 20 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: been fired at Auburn. So twenty six days ago I 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,919 Speaker 1: led this show by saying we were about to punt 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: the ant bed, as me Ma would say, and when 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: if you've ever punted an ant bed, you know what 24 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean. If you haven't, you don't have to try it. 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: Just imagine it. Ants scurry all over the place. It's 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: really it gets crazy. It's a little chaotic. Well, since 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: I said that, what if we had Jesse, we had 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Arkansas come open, we had Penn State come open. Now 29 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: we've got Auburn coming open, LSU's come open. And I 30 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: would like to take this Sunday evening, November two and 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: suggest to you it's not done coaching carousel madness not done. 32 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: I have to update my playoff predictions just a little 33 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: bit tonight. I think it's only fair that I get 34 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: a three point zero shot at the playoff predictions because 35 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: the playoff rankings will come out Tuesday night. So we'll 36 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: do that. We'll reveal where we're for the tour this week. 37 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: We got a jam packed show. Listen. Listen, that's a 38 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: heavy pack of papers. They're watching us in Santa Monica, California, Opaalaca, Alabama, Barcelona, Spain, Rogers, Arkansas. 39 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: Wherever you're watching. Hey, all seriousness, I know we joke 40 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: a lot. We really really appreciate you letting us do 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: this because this is our job. It's really fun, and 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: I want to let you know. All I ever ask is, well, 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: don't blame me for anything. That's the first thing. But 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: the second thing, and more realistically, is if you just 45 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: subscribe to the channel, that's all we ever need you 46 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: to do. And if you're on YouTube, you check and 47 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: see we're getting very close to five hundred thousand subs. 48 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: We want to be there by Thanksgiving. Not that we 49 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't be thankful either way, but I appreciate you guys 50 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: who already have. If you think you have, just check 51 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: and make sure we got a ton coming at you 52 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: in November. College football is all we do here, okay, 53 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: So our diehards are longtimers. You've been subscribed, I appreciate it. 54 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: If you haven't, nothing changes for you, doesn't sign you 55 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: up for anything, there's no catch. It just helps us 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: in the old algorithm, So we appreciate it. In advance, 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: let's dive and I'm going to clear the throat about 58 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: thirty times in the show tonight, but that's only so 59 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: I can keep talking, which may or may not be 60 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: a good thing, you know, But like this right here, 61 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: that's how you know we mean business. Hugh Freeze was 62 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: fired at Auburn today. Buy out a little bit north 63 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: of fifteen million dollars. This is not a surprise to 64 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: anyone who's watching college football. It's not a surprise to 65 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: anyone who's watched Auburn this year fifteen to nineteen, over 66 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: three seasons, six and sixteen in SEC play and of 67 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: course one in five in SEC play this year, not 68 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: getting blown out. In fact, you could make the argument, 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: and some would, that officiating cost them the Oklahoma game. 70 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: You can make the argument and some would that may 71 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: be officiating cost them the Georgia game. They lost the games. 72 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: And you know, if you've watched them this year, if 73 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: you watched them last night, god bless you. There were 74 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: other options on now. I because I am a sick, 75 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: sick individual, I watched nearly every snap of Kentucky Auburn. 76 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: We got back from the SMU game in time for 77 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: this game to start, and so I watched it wire 78 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: to wire because we got to support Cublic Kublic. The rare, 79 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: well semi rare color commentator booth spot last night wasn't 80 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: even on the field, And what a thing for a 81 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: former Auburn Tiger himself to witness from the fifty yard line. 82 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: So I watched it. It was ugly, it was bad. 83 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: Jackson normal doesn't start the game, then he comes off 84 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: the bench, then he gets rebinched. That was basically a 85 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: microcosm of the Hugh Freeze era at Auburn. There will 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: be thousands and thousands of words written about what went wrong, 87 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: Why didn't it pan out? Why did Hugh Freeze fail 88 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: at Auburn? And you just boil it down to four 89 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: of them never figured out quarterback. That's it. That's it. 90 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: There's not really a whole lot of overthinking that has 91 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: to go on here now. With Brian Kelly at LSU, Guys, 92 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: there were layers to that, and I'm not saying, actually, 93 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: I am saying it's pretty straightforward. It's pretty fundamental. With 94 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze, you know, when he first got there, when 95 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: they first made the move to hire him, there were 96 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people saying, oh, does he deserve a 97 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: second chance because he had run a foul of all 98 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: kind of bylaws, both ethical and sec when he was 99 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: at Ole Miss And then he went to Liberty and 100 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: he paid his dues and he worked his way back up. 101 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: Does he deserve the right to come back? Is it 102 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: a big risk? And you know all the reasons, all 103 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: the bullet points for why it was risky. I kind 104 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: of laughed at those at the time, because I thought, Man, 105 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: the risk here is does the offense still work? He's 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: not going to get in trouble off the field anymore. 107 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: This dude's getting a second chance that most people thought 108 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: he'd never get. That's not going to be the issue. 109 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: The issue is going to be whether you should really 110 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: be bankrolling your entire future behind a guy whose resume's 111 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: biggest bullet points were I beat Saban a couple of times. Now, 112 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: if you had doubts of that, okay, But the doubts 113 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: about all the extra curricular stuff. I never really thought 114 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: that was much of a risk. The risk, as it 115 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: turns out, was on field related, and the risk, as 116 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: it turns out, was is it going to figure out quarterback? 117 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: It wasn't even the offense. I think a lot of 118 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: people are going to look and say, oh, Hugh Freeese's 119 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: offense didn't work anymore. Now, Look, there may be layers 120 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: of truth to that too. Do we really even know. 121 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: I mean, really think about the three years here, do 122 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: we really even know if his offense would have worked. 123 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: I can tell you one thing we know. It doesn't 124 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: work if you don't have the right quarterback, which shockingly 125 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: we have learned about a lot of offenses around college football. 126 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't tend to work if you don't have the 127 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: right quarterback. You look at the nil market, you look 128 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: at the recruiting market, you look at a lot of 129 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: the big dollar figures that teams are paying quarterbacks, and 130 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: I know it rubs some of you the wrong way. 131 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: And to those of you who feel that way, I 132 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: would just advise you not to pay attention to what 133 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: the players get paid. Trust me, life's a lot easier 134 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: that way. But if you ever wonder why those quarterbacks 135 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: get paid what they do, check out what happens when 136 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: you don't have one. Ask Q Freeze. Ask Auburn, who's 137 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: now going to have to pay tens of millions of 138 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: dollars and buy out money and then hiring a new 139 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: staff to make up for not paying two or three 140 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: million dollars for the right quarterback. Which reminds me no, 141 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: of course, Jackson Arnold didn't work out for Hugh Freeze. 142 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: But what was crazy is they went through last cycle 143 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: and they didn't really spend on quarterback because they were 144 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: saving up to spend in this cycle. And you know, 145 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: on the surface, I thought the plan kind of made sense. 146 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: We went over that at the time, like they weren't 147 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 1: gonna make much noise in year two anyway. Why invest 148 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: in a big time quarterback and create a false bubble 149 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: of expectation, Wait one more year, So that logic I 150 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: was on board with. Problem was they got to this 151 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: cycle and the quarterback market was what it was, but 152 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: it was not void of options. I will ever listened 153 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: to that, because I'm not going to turn on an 154 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: Indiana game and watch Fernando Mendoza doing what he's doing 155 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: and think, oh, Auburn couldn't have paid and gotten that kid. 156 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch Steve Angeli even doing what he 157 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: was doing at Syracuse before injury, and say, oh, Auburn 158 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: never could have made a run at that kid. They 159 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: made a run at the wrong one, That's what they did. 160 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: And it cost Hugh Freeze's job. So look, maybe his 161 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: offense wouldn't have worked out, Maybe there were maybe there 162 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: was too much stock put in a couple of wins 163 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: over Nick Saban ten years ago. Totally fair. I don't 164 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: even know that it's that complicated. Guy just didn't get 165 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: quarterback figured out. I mean, otherwise they were a physical team, 166 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: play good defense, could run the ball, didn't matter. That 167 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: just means a lot of close losses, that's all that means. 168 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: So you could feel this in the spring, you could 169 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: feel it in the summer. I thought it was very 170 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: peculiar when he rolled into Atlanta had SEC media days, 171 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know, I don't know what his deal was. Actually, 172 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: he voluntarily just started talking about expectations and started talking 173 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: about how it should be playoffs, and man, I look, 174 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: if I thought I had the best team in the 175 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: history of my organization, I wouldn't talk like that. And 176 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: certainly he couldn't have felt that way. I know that 177 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: because Hugh Freeze is not dumb. He's forgotten a lot 178 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: more about football than I'll ever know. But even I 179 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: was picking up from around the program a lot of 180 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: people that were saying, Hey, we're not in love with 181 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: where we're at right now, and that doesn't always mean 182 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: the end of the world, because you're not what you're 183 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: gonna be coming out of spring. Kirby Smart presents every 184 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: post spring the idea that his team could go six 185 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: and six. Here it could be bad, so you know, 186 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: it's not the end of the world. But there were 187 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: warning signs. There were red flags around Auburn post spring 188 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: going into summer, same thing coming out of summer, going 189 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: into fall camp. Right before that media day is just 190 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: the buzz was not great. So look, they won that 191 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: Baylor game, which sort of prolonged the inevitable. I thought 192 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: it was a big deal they won the Baylor game, 193 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: but so that the warning the warning signs were there. 194 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: It's not a shot, none of that. I think some 195 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: of the criticisms are kind of lame. That's just me. 196 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: I know, if you're losing games, you can't be having 197 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: regular tea times, you can't have a social life, you 198 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: can't be perceived to be doing anything other than grinding 199 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: away twenty hours at the desk. I get all that 200 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: they get paid a lot of money. It's fair. I 201 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: don't even say, don't criticize, that's fine. All I'm saying 202 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: is there's some guys that are about to take their 203 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: teams to the playoffs that enjoy a fair amount of 204 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: activities outside the office. Guys, it's not that he didn't 205 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: figure out quarterback. If he I mean, if he had 206 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: Ty Simpson playing for him, or had Dante More down 207 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: there playing for him, and they did what they're doing, 208 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: nobody would have cared. What he was doing on Sunday 209 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: afternoon at two pm wouldn't have mattered. He didn't get 210 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: quarterback figured out. Hugh Freeze worked plenty hard enough, So 211 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't buy that. I don't buy that he didn't care. 212 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: In fairness, most people aren't saying that. You know, a 213 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: few on the fringe may say it, but a lot 214 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: of the criticisms it comes with the territory. I get it. 215 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: I think he gets it, but he didn't win because 216 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: he didn't have quarterback figured out. So anything above and 217 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: beyond that is just kind of people want to dunk 218 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: on someone because he's on his way out. There was 219 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: zero scandal, I mean major scandal. I'm not presenting Hugh 220 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: Freeze as a choir boy or anything like that. But 221 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: remember what the history here is, and remember what the 222 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: risks were. Oh man, if we bring him back in, 223 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: oh think about the risk we're running. There was none 224 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: of that. The risk was not figuring out quarterback. Okay, 225 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: now that we've belabored that point, where's Auburn gonna go here? 226 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: I got a big concern with the Auburn coaching search. 227 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: So Pete Nakos put out the hot board today and 228 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: Pete has John Summer all on there. See that second name, 229 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: got jim Fisher on there. And as you laugh about 230 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher being listed, I'm gonna tell you don't laugh. 231 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: I'll come back to that in a second. He's got 232 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: James Franklin, Brent Key, Clark, Lee, Eli Drinkwitz, Kenny Dillingham. 233 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't think Ryan Silverfield or Alex Golish would factor 234 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: into this search, at least until they missed on several 235 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: other candidates. Let me put it that way. So first 236 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: thing I hope Auburn doesn't do is go down the 237 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher road. Got nothing against Jimbo Fisher. I know 238 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: some of you look at that name and you kind 239 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: of laugh. What's Nakos doing. He's putting Jimbo Fisher's name 240 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: on that list because there is a pretty big push 241 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: behind certain scenes to get Jimbo Fisher back into the 242 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: coaching world. And what you need to ask yourself is 243 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: not do I think Jimbo Fisher would work out at Auburn. 244 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: I know it wouldn't be a good hire, of course 245 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: it wouldn't. But I'm not a big money donor at Auburn. 246 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: So before you just laugh that off, you need to 247 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: make sure all your big money don't think it's also 248 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: a laughable notion, because if they don't think it's a 249 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: laughable notion, then it has some legitimacy. And all I'm 250 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: saying is you might want to kick the tires around 251 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: there and make sure everyone's on the same page that 252 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher is not an option here, right, right, right, okay, 253 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: because you need to get all head nods to the yes, yes, correct, 254 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: He's not an option here. Let's just make sure that. 255 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: And then the other thing that I'm concerned about is 256 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: the guy who makes perfect sense for this job is 257 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: John Sumral. Why is that concerning, Josh? It's concerning to 258 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: me because everyone is saying it. This is one of 259 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: those instances, pretty rare, where the overwhelming sentiment I think 260 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: is the proper sentiment, which you would think is a 261 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: good thing, but in coaching searches sometimes it's not a 262 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: good thing, because sometimes athletic directors want to view themselves 263 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: as mavericks. They want to view themselves as having ideas 264 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: unique unto themselves. And sometimes you can probably relate to 265 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: this in your own life. When it's time for you 266 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: to make a big decision, if everyone else is telling 267 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: you which decision you should make, you go the other way, 268 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: just to spite the clapping seals out there. And so 269 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: right now we got the athletic director down there, we 270 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: got John Cohen looking around. Maybe he's looking around, and 271 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: if he is, he's everybody's h. John somerall h. Does 272 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: that make him more or less likely to view John 273 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: Someral as the favorite? Now some role I think would 274 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: kill it here in due time. I also want to 275 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: remind everyone I think we are we're looking in the 276 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: rear view mirror at what it used to be like 277 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: to hire a head coach, and not in the windshield. 278 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: In the windshield, none of the proven commodities are going 279 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: to be on the move. By proven commodities, I mean 280 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: to the top of the list, which are like Ryan Day, 281 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: Kirby Smart like those guys of course are not moving. 282 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: But even beyond that, you got multiple jobs that probably 283 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: the market views as higher quality than yours. So you 284 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: know your A listers are probably not moving now. It 285 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. As long as you land a guy that 286 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: you think is going to be an A lister, that's 287 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: all that matters. But you need to bake in the 288 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: idea that a guy can professionally develop on your dime. 289 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: What that looks like is what Oregon did with Dan Lanning. Josh, 290 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: are you saying Landing's available? No, that's not what I said. 291 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: I said, pay attention to what Oregon did with Lanning. 292 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: They took a little bit of a risk there. Dan 293 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: had never been a head coach before, but they believed 294 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: in him and so they went and got him and 295 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: they invested in him. Now that the trade there is 296 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: if you don't go get an established P four winner, 297 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: you pay a little bit less on the front end. 298 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: They're thankful to just have the job, and they know 299 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: they'll prove themselves, and you think they'll prove themselves and 300 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: as they do, then you tear up the old contract 301 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: write a new one. The beauty of that is you 302 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: only pay bigger money when they win. That's part one. 303 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: Part two is you got to bite the bullet and 304 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: understand not everyone's a finished product. Not everyone's gonna come 305 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: to you ready to win a championship. Dan Lanning didn't 306 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: come to Oregon immediately ready. Do you see him against 307 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: Kalyn Debor first few times he faced him? See Dan 308 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: Lanning in the playoff last year in the first round. 309 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: He's learning on the job, But Orgon's invested in him 310 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: for the long term, and so they'll reap the rewards 311 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: for a long time and they'll be in the hunt 312 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: most every year. Everyone should be willing to do that 313 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: now and moving forward, everyone should be willing to do that. 314 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: Auburn should be willing to do that now. Summer All's 315 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: already a head coach. But my point remains like if 316 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: anyone looks at that guy and thinks, oh, he's just 317 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: a G five head coach, and what does that mean? 318 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: Does he have the qualities and characteristics that it takes 319 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: to be the head man at Auburn or doesn't he? 320 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: How else is he gonna get the experience? So the 321 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: only thing that concerns me there every body is saying 322 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: his name, and I wish they weren't. It's actually counterintuitive 323 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: right now for the purposes of Auburn hiring the guy 324 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: they should hire. Not that he's not the only qualified 325 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: candidate on that list. There are certain other names that 326 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: I this is no slam dunk guys. There are certain 327 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: other names there that are going to get some major 328 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: traction with that job. We'll talk about that in the 329 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: coming days. Throat clear number one. You know, we were 330 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: in Dallas yesterday, had a fun time, went to the 331 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: SMU game, which I'll talk about in great detail a 332 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: little bit later on. But a quick trip fueled us 333 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: all the way there, all the way back, fueling the 334 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: Fall Don't Lie Tour. Had a number of SMU staffers 335 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: actually refer to the tour by its name. That's refreshing. 336 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: And so we were there yesterday and even on the 337 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: flight home, we're kind of wondering where are we going 338 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: this next week? Now I had it narrowed down to 339 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: two candidates, but look, I went somewhere in the spring 340 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: and I promised a certain someone that if they took 341 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: care of business, there was a date on the calendar 342 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: that I would come and visit them, and I would 343 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: be at their game and we would bring the yet 344 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: to be named tour to their campus. That team was 345 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: Texas Tech and Texas Tech took care of business in 346 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: the aforementioned game against Kansas State last night, and so 347 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: Joey McGuire did his job and Brigham Young is more 348 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,479 Speaker 1: than done their job. So we're going to fulfill our 349 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: end of the bargain. We are headed to Lubbock, Texas 350 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: this Saturday. Fall Don't Lie Tour will be on the 351 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: sideline for BYU versus Texas Tech. It will be my 352 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: first game I've ever seen at Texas Tech. We were 353 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: there in spring the Speaker series went out there. Joey 354 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: McGuire joined us, but never been to a game there. 355 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: The drought is over now. Actually in West Texas. It's 356 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: not going to rain to drop all week. I looked 357 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: at the forecast, but as far as our visit drought 358 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: for a game, it's over. It could be scratched that 359 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: it will be an electric atmosphere, as atmospheres in the Lubbic, 360 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: Texas go. I'm excited for the world to see that place. 361 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: I think the world the college football public has seen 362 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: bits and pieces, little snippets of Texas Tech this year, 363 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: and they've watched them climb up the rankings. But really, 364 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: how many of you have sat down and watched a 365 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: full four quarters of Texas Tech. It's entertaining, very multiple team, 366 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: very dynamic team. And that's a word I'm using a 367 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: little bit this year, but only to describe a few teams. 368 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: Texas Tech's one of them. Very impressive win yesterday. We'll 369 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: talk about that later. So looking forward to that. Next up, 370 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: we got a lot to go, We got a lot 371 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: to talk about. Oklahoma just flat out went to Kneeland 372 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: and won last night, thirty three to twenty seven. They 373 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: beat Tennessee. I would give this game three and a 374 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: half child. It was a classic what we would call 375 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: a badlock first half. That is derived from badlock stats, 376 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: which are the opposite of padlock stats. Badlock stats are 377 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: the really, really misleading stats that if you saw nothing 378 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: more than the box scorer, you'd never be able to 379 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: guess who won the game. This first half badlock half. 380 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: There was a team that had a two fifty five 381 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: to ninety nine yardage edge, a seventeen to five first 382 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: down edge. That's right, kids, Yeah, that's right. Seventeen first 383 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: downs in the first half. I'm not done. Two eleven 384 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: to forty four passing yardage edge, forty nine to twenty 385 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: five plays run edge and that team trailed sixteen to 386 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: ten at the half. That team was the Tennessee Volunteers. 387 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: Three first half turnovers two inside the Oklahoma forty one 388 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: led to a score. It was tough. It was so bad. 389 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: I had Tennessee fans hitting me up at halftime, begging 390 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: me not to make them the Sarah McLaughlin Special. And 391 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: they didn't even know what the second half was going 392 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: to bring yet. That's how bad it was. But this 393 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: right here is what teams do. Teams good teams do. See, 394 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: we thought going into this game that one of these 395 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks was probably going to have to win it. And 396 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: I didn't love Oklahoma in the spot because I didn't 397 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: think Mateir was playing the kind of ball that made 398 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: him capable of going in here and winning this game. 399 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: And that's even with Tennessee's defensive limitations. But he didn't 400 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: need to. He was nineteen to twenty nine, had one 401 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine yards through the air, he threw 402 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: a pick. Now, he did have eighty yards on the 403 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: ground and did score a touchdown, but he didn't light 404 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: the world on fire. Here. I'll tell you what Oklahoma 405 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: did get for the second week in a row, they 406 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: got one hundred yard rusher in Xavier Robinson sixteen for 407 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: one fifteen. Now that was a big deal. I went 408 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: two yards per attempt. It was a big deal because 409 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: you're used to guys in college football fading during the season. 410 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: We see that all the time, right, We see guys 411 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: that shine in September, but then they get banged up October, 412 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: and by November you're like, oh, man, if we only 413 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: still had so and so. Oh man, if so and 414 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: so would have only been able to play a full year, 415 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: well much more seldom, but sometimes there are guys who 416 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: aren't ready to go early in the year. Sometimes they're 417 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: rehabben from surgery and you're gonna get him back in 418 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: like October. Sometimes they just flat out aren't in shape 419 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year. Sometimes they missed spring 420 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: ball for whatever reason. Well, bottom line is, don't discount 421 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: guys just cause they're not lighting the world on fire 422 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: in September. And I guarantee you much much of you, 423 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: like me, are watching Xavier Robinson knowing full well Localahoma 424 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: has struggled run the ball this year, and you're going, 425 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: where's he been all year? They coaching staff and a 426 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: bunch of idiots. They've had reasons why they haven't haven't 427 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: played who they haven't haven't played. But what's important is 428 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: he played last night and he was a key part 429 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: of winning this game. It felt like also on the 430 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee side, this game felt like the first game where 431 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: my fears for Joey Aguilar were fully realized, because the 432 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: fear of bringing him in so late was he was 433 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: very turnover prone. In his last year at app State, 434 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: he had five games with multiple interceptions, so that was 435 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of them on him. Now, the hope was, oh, 436 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: Hipel's hypel system. Man, it'll open the guys up for him. 437 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: It'll make the reads, it'll make the checks. All he's 438 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: got to do is just deliver an accurate ball and 439 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: so don't worry what we'll just wash all that away. Well, 440 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: this was not that game. If that's how you thought 441 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: it was going to go, This was not that game. 442 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: And it was a terrible situational game for Tennessee as well. 443 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: It's not a game they deserve to win. It was. 444 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: It was a tough watch because, like you come out 445 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: of that first and remember a week ago we saw 446 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: a and m dominate the first half box score, but 447 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: they still trailed LSU. But it just felt like a 448 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: matter of time before the dam broke. This game felt 449 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: a little different to me. I felt like Tennessee left 450 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: a lot on the field in the first half and 451 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: they may end up paying for it with a loss, 452 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: and that's what happened. However, what I didn't expect is 453 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: to look at my phone. I got two texts last 454 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: night from people whose opinions I kind of respect, except 455 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: for last night when these are Tennessee fans, mind you, 456 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: and they were like, is it time to have the 457 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: conversation about hypel? I said, I'd be happy to have 458 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: a conversation about Josh. What do you want to know? 459 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: And they're like, no, I mean, we're not saying we 460 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: should fire him, but well, it sounds like you're saying 461 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: you should fire him, even though you followed it with 462 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: a butt. It sounds like that's where you're trying to 463 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: go with this. And they're like, well, no, it's just 464 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: it's just something has to change here, all right. On 465 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: the ladder of criticism in coaching, let's just say we 466 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: we have ten rungs, and the tenth th rung is 467 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: fire this guy. You need to specify when you say 468 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: changes need to be made, are you talking about like 469 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: are you on run three critically or four or five? 470 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: Because there's a long way to go between this guy 471 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: needs to make some changes versus we need to fire 472 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: this guy, and sometimes we just shave off all the 473 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: rungs four through nine. It's just either you're wrung three 474 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: or run ten. It's kind of way that was presented 475 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: to me last night. So hey, if you want to 476 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: say he needs to make some changes on his staff, Okay, 477 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask, because I do possess the ability 478 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: and the right to zoom out to fifty thousand feet 479 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: here for a second. Does anyone care to go back 480 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: to July with me? Does anyone care to just recap 481 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: what they thought about Tennessee coming into the season, because 482 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: we had a great, big fight on this show right 483 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: into this microphone where I looked and I had the 484 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: audacity to say, Hey, this dude, Josh Heipel, they're losing 485 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: a lot off a good defense last year. This dude, 486 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: Josh Hipel just had his quarterback yanked from his roster 487 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: after spring and went and got a guy who's been 488 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: fairly turnedover prone in his career. Oh, this guy's also 489 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: got some big time defensive injuries. For the guys who 490 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: are still there. Coming into the year eight and four, 491 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: I feel like eight and four is about right. Oh man, 492 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: they rained criticism down on me. Well, here's the problem. 493 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: The people. I'm not hating on you. You ought to root 494 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: for your team to win every game. What I'm saying 495 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: is some people who had I think, unrealistic expectations for 496 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: this team are now getting mad at the team for 497 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: not fulfilling on their unrealistic expectations. Tennessee's right in line 498 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: to do what I thought they were going to do. 499 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: I had him as an eight and four team. I 500 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: thought it was a transition year. I called it a 501 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: bridge year. They'll be I think they'll be right back 502 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: in the mix next year. I mean, hot seat and 503 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: Joshipel shouldn't even be in the same sentence unless he 504 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: is commenting on the hot seat about someone else, is 505 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: how I view that. So Tennessee's right where I expected. Now, 506 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: they got New Mexico State, they go to Florida, they 507 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: got Vandy left. Where are they going to finish? What 508 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: are they a three lost team? The other three lost team. 509 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: Right now, they run the table. They can do better 510 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: than I thought they'd do. I think they may lose 511 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: one more game, either the Florida game or the Vandy game. 512 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: I would advise you, guys to make it the Florida game. 513 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: Don't be losing the Vandy and nieland last weekend of 514 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: the season. It's hey. As for Oklahoma, now, all of 515 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: a sudden, we got to repopularize the notion that Oklahoma 516 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: has everything in front of them. Remember, let me take 517 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: it to the preseason again. Do you remember the conversation 518 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: about three loss SEC teams making the playoff? Some of 519 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: you scoffed at it. Many of you scoffed at it, 520 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: but most of you agreed, begrudgingly. If there's a three 521 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: loss team from the SEC that makes the playoff, probably 522 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: going to be Florida or Oklahoma. Well, mathematically, I'm told 523 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: Florida is incapable of being a three loss team because 524 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: they've already lost more than three. Oklahoma is seven and 525 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: two and they got three games left. They're gonna go 526 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: to Bama off of bye. By the way, they're gonna 527 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: go to Bama. They've got Missouri at home. Injured quarterback 528 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: and they got LSU decapitated head coach. So what happens 529 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: if OU loses one more game? They lose the Bama game, 530 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: they're nine to three. Where are they gonna be? Or 531 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: are they gonna don't? Don't don't just be dismissing the 532 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: notion because you hate SEC teams? Tell me? Are there 533 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: gonna be twelve resumes better than that? I'm asking rhetorically 534 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: because I don't know yet, how do you think it's 535 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: gonna play out? Much less? If they win all their 536 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: remaining games, then they're a shoe win. And I'm wondering 537 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: if they lose one of those games. Oklahoma sort of 538 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: left for dead after the Old Miss loss. I thought 539 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: they'd lose this past weekend. So I include myself in 540 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: that Interesting times. Interesting times, Let's move on. I'm gonna 541 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: take a chuggle of water right quick? If I objected 542 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: in the studio, So I'm gonna take a chug of water. 543 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: Turn the logo around a straight from the plastic carton. 544 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: So no bph in that definitely not no, that's that's 545 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: high quality plastic. SMU beat Miami in overtime yesterday. This 546 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: line plummeted as the game got closer. I was sitting 547 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: in the press box show today because it was raining, 548 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: and I did go down to the field. I ended 549 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: up braving the rain. I don't want any criticism, but 550 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: I was sitting next to Chris Vanini and I said, 551 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: did you see this line? He said, what it was 552 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: like ten and a half right? I said no, no, no, no, 553 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: it was about twenty minutes ago. It's down to eight 554 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: and a half now. Gasps everywhere, as Lee Corso used 555 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: to say, somebody knew something. We got there because of 556 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: Quick Trip. Quick Trip fueled us there, and they present 557 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: this entire game recap. By the way, I give this 558 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: game four and a half tily it really we were there, 559 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: We were on the field, and we were part of 560 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: another field storming. And you know, I've got the eye 561 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: Josh with me, so I'm capturing footage. Prez was standing 562 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: in the end zone. This is actually from his phone, 563 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: the iepres if you will, He was capturing footage. Unbelievable 564 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: times sold out game there, Gerald Ford's stateiument reigned in 565 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: the first half. There's not a cloud in the sky 566 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: by the time the game ends, and there's rhet Lastly, 567 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: what an emotional scene. They just lost to Wake last week. 568 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: This is Miami's sixth loss as a double digit favorite 569 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: on Memorial Christobaul. This is SMU's first home win versus 570 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: a top ten team since nineteen seventy four. They had 571 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: Craig James there yesterday, That had Eric Dickerson there yesterday. 572 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: The last time they won at home versus a top 573 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: ten team was several years before. Those guys played at SMU, 574 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: before Ron Meyer even got there. Just pre pony excess, 575 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: pre pony excess, amazing. Just look, we always bank on 576 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: getting a memorable experience and a memorable trip. We got 577 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: more than we bargained for at SMU yesterday. So it 578 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: begs the question, doesn't it? How did this team to lose? 579 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: How did this team lose to Wake Forest. It'll make 580 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: a better sound bite if I just rewracked the balls there, Bradley, 581 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: How did this team lose to Wake Forest? Probably the 582 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: question on a lot of people's minds as they watched 583 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: him win this game. Well, you got to understand what 584 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: a college football team is. It is twelve versions of 585 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: a program, and sometimes there are there's wild variants week 586 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: to week, doubly especially in college football, and so I 587 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: would suggest to you, what if the wake Forest result 588 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: triggered this result? We see that all the time they went. 589 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean I talked to Rhet Lashley last week after 590 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: the wake Forest game, and he was confident of two things. One, 591 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: that's one of the first offensive performances we've ever had 592 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: anytime I've been a coach anywhere. Number Two, adamant we 593 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: will bounce back. We will bounce back from it. Both 594 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: were true, and they bounced back yesterday. They didn't light 595 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: the world on fire offensively, but you see they didn't 596 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: need to. They played a complimentary enough style where they 597 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: got the job done. Kevin Jennings the quarterback there, I 598 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: can't speak highly enough of him. Man. So his numbers alone, okay, 599 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: if I give no caveat here, I think he was 600 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: twenty nine of forty four for three hundred and sixty 601 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: five yards. He had a passing touchdown, he had a 602 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: rushing touchdown. He had no run game to lean on. 603 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: And so not only that, but there is a period 604 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: of this game where he gets hurt and can't put 605 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: any weight on the foot, so he hops off the 606 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: field and they were already banged up. Man, They had 607 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: a lot of guys that were questionable. Some of them went, 608 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: some of them weren't able to go. They're just dealing 609 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: with injuries like a lot of teams are. But Jennings 610 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: goes down and I watched him leave the field, and 611 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: I just watched him. The plays are still going on. 612 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: I'm just watching him. Helmet gets thrown over there, he's 613 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: laid out on the bench. I watched him a couple 614 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: of times trying to walk on the foot. No cameras 615 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: are on him. This is not this is not like performative. 616 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: It legit can't walk on it. Then he could put 617 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: a little weight on it and tried to run, and 618 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: it looked like a three legged horse trying to run 619 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: like it was tough. It did not look like mobility 620 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: was gonna be any kind of factor in his game, 621 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: even if he was able to get back out there. 622 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: I think he missed like two plays. I understand these 623 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: are very very high level athletes. I'm just saying that's 624 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: a dude who was not going to miss plays. He 625 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: was not going to miss the rest of the game, 626 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: and he was dealing with something, with a serious something. 627 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: And he gets back out there and they go on 628 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 1: and win the game. And SMU's defense. You know, we 629 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: talked about them being kind of all or nothing. The 630 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: one thing they will do is they'll blitz and they'll 631 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: get after you. And they went all or nothing in Miami, 632 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 1: never took the game. SMU actually had a three seventy 633 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: five to two sixty four passing yards at vantage on them, 634 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: So it was a great day for SMU. I'll talk 635 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: about the experience more in a second. This was an 636 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: embarrassment from Miami. There's no other way to put that. 637 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: They had nine trips into SMU territory and they totaled 638 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 1: twenty points. They had three explosive passes the whole day. 639 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: And this is an SMU secondary that you should be 640 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: able to go to work on. That's a skill set 641 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: at Miami that should be able to go to work 642 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: on SMU secondary, and they didn't. They were heavily penalized. 643 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: They appeared very ill equipped and ill prepared to play 644 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 1: the game. Twelve penalties for ninety six yards. Now, look, 645 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: this wasn't the best officiating job I've ever seen, and 646 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 1: I think Miami probably ended up on the wrong side 647 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: of some of this stuff. But man, like I told, 648 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: I mean, I told pres coming home. I told Jesse 649 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: earlier today, I hope I hear any Miami fans try 650 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,959 Speaker 1: and blame officiating for this. I haven't, by the way, 651 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: to their credit, I've heard them complain about it. I've 652 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: seen Miami fans stop well short of criticizing officials as 653 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: it relates to the reason they lost the game. I 654 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: don't know how it seems to you, but it seems 655 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: to me just standing there watching Miami. They use the 656 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: approach offensively that other teams should be using against them. 657 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,479 Speaker 1: So Miami's got an athletic advantage on most teams they play. 658 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: When you have an athletic advantage on teams that you play, 659 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: what you want to do offensively is run as many 660 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 1: plays as you can. Expand the game, extend the game, 661 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: the more drives, the more plays, the more reps your 662 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: better athletes have against relatively inferior athletes, and therefore you 663 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: actually reduce variants when the game gets contracted, when your 664 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: possessions get limited, that's when there's a lot higher variance 665 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: in outcome. And that's what Miami's offensive game plan actually yield. 666 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: It's the craziest thing to watch. They play to condense 667 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: the game, and then the game gets condensed and they're 668 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: trying to be methodical and they're trying to be physical 669 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: and it's not working, and there's no secondary pitch. It's 670 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: the craziest thing to watch. It is the craziest thing 671 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,959 Speaker 1: to watch, and yet it happened time after time after time, 672 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: and eventually you realize this is gonna change, and you 673 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: get the result you got there, and now you are 674 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: on the precipice. You're on the brink of the second 675 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: year in a row, wasting a very very good, talented roster, 676 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: not even making the playoffs, not even making your conference 677 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: championship game. That speaks to everybody that starts with Mario 678 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 1: and goes all the way down. But it really starts 679 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: and ends with Mario, because he's responsible for everything underneath him. 680 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: And I don't really know what kind of adjustment you're 681 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: going to make in season, and candidly, at this point, 682 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what adjustment you could make that would matter. 683 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that you control your own fate anymore, 684 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: and I don't know what the math is on that. 685 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: But are they done losing. I don't know that they're 686 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: done losing. They're odds to win. The ACC championship are gone, 687 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a big story to follow. And 688 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: they got four more games and the last two are 689 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: on the road, and all four of those teams can 690 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: give them problems. They're favored by twenty eight against Syracuse, 691 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: And that's all well and good if your team's still 692 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: checked in. We got to make sure the team still 693 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: checked in first and foremost. There's no guarantee of that. 694 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: You know, there was a lot of unrest on that sideline. 695 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: There should be. There's a lot of unrest between staff members. 696 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: There should be. We'll see what that yields. But that's 697 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 1: a story to keep a close eye on. And you've 698 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: got to evaluate the entirety of your organization every year, 699 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: even when you Ryan Day evaluated his organization after this 700 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 1: last season. That doesn't matter. If you're terrible, you're great, 701 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 1: you're evowling. Sometimes you look and say I like everything, 702 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: and other times you look and say I hate everything. 703 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: What What is? What is Mario Christopaul's evow of his 704 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: organization is what I'm interested in? Like last year, it 705 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: was very it was so easy a blind guy could 706 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: have seen it. You got to make a change a 707 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator they did. Results have been better, but now 708 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: offensively they should be more than they are. Uh, program 709 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: wise they should be more than they are. I said 710 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: when I went and watched them in personing it's Florida State. 711 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,879 Speaker 1: Earlier this year, I put out a tweet I said, 712 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: Miami looks different in person than any other team I've seen, 713 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of foolish people have 714 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: tried to throw that back at me, Oh, how do 715 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: you feel about that now? The exact same way is 716 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,760 Speaker 1: when I said it, I've watched all these teams in person. 717 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: That team physically looks insane. It's an indictment on them 718 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 1: that they're not winning with those guys. It does doesn't 719 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: make those guys not look that way. What I said 720 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,280 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with quality of team. I wantn't 721 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,240 Speaker 1: predicting them to go twelve and zero. I was saying, 722 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: boy on the hoof, those guys look incredible. Well, looks 723 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: don't win games, which is ironically what some people have 724 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: been saying back to me. Yeah, I know, looks don't 725 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: win games. Obviously they don't. There's only one acc loss 726 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: on SMU's resume. Right now, they're a three loss team 727 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: only one of those is in conference. They got Boston 728 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: College this week. That's not easy. They got to buy. 729 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: They got Louisville, they go to Cal That'll be Louisville 730 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: six straight game, by the way, when they play arrested SMU, 731 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. So we're on the field yesterday. 732 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: Field gets stormed and I'm standing there with some with 733 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: some SMU staffers and we're standing next to the tunnel. 734 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: So they say, just come with us. So we go 735 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: up the tunnel. We go into the locker room and 736 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: postgame locker rooms after you've won a big game, like 737 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: a dramatic game, there's nothing like that, nothing like it. 738 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 1: And a lot of times I'm in there and I'm 739 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: going to be respectful, like I'm not going to record, 740 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: but they're okay with you recording in the SMU locker room. 741 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: Look at that shoot McGavin in the middle of it all. 742 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm standing next to Savannah. I'm just watching rhet lashly, 743 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm watching all these guys. I'm just soaking it all 744 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: in Savannah like this could only happen in a college 745 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: football game. She just says, oh, hey, there's shooting McGavin. 746 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: Let's excuse me. Yeah, yeah, Christoph McDonald down there, there's 747 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: shooting McGavin. What why shoot a McGavin in the locker room? 748 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: You know what? Don't even answer the question, of course 749 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: shooting McGavin's in the locker room. So it was a 750 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: great scene. That program needed it bad, they needed it 751 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: really bad. First class treatment. Loved our time there. Second 752 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,959 Speaker 1: half was beautiful weatherwise, look at that. You'd never guess 753 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,479 Speaker 1: it was raining there an hour and a half before. 754 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: So first game at SMU, very successful. Question becomes what 755 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: is the nidal Oh, by the way, George W. Bush 756 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: also there, just hanging out, just hanging out and the pony. 757 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: The big question is, and this is up to RHT 758 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: Lashley and those guys to answer, what is the NIL 759 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: package for us to attend games? Because if that happens 760 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: every time we attend an SMU game, and it has 761 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: every time we've been there, we've been there once, what 762 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: is that worth? Think about? How that stimulates the economy, 763 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: how it stimulates the student body, how it stimulates recruiting. 764 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I should used the 765 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,320 Speaker 1: word generate because flex power is next up in the show. 766 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: We run on flex power. What I would love is. 767 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: I would love a flex Power generator that powered the voice, 768 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, so it didn't fade like mine is right now, 769 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: still working on that technology. Elon's working on flying cars, 770 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: flex Power working on vocal core generators. That's not official. 771 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: I legally I have to say that that's not official. 772 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: But you go to flexpower dot com slash Josh Pate 773 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: right now you can get some really quiet, really powerful generators. 774 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: And I know, good and well a lot of you 775 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: go tailgating every week. You need this. I know good andwell. 776 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: A lot of you are gearing up for all sorts 777 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 1: of recreational activities in and around the holiday season, and 778 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: I know you need them as well. And our research 779 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: tells us that every one of you has had the 780 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: power go out on you before, So next time it happens, 781 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: be prepared with flex Power powerful. Cough. There we continue. 782 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 1: We just soldier right on through here. Georgia won another 783 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: game that everyone thought they were gonna lose at some point. 784 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: Yesterday twenty four to twenty was the final gotta give 785 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 1: it for Chai. Georgia is on pace to play as 786 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: many four plus Chaali games in a year as they 787 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: ever have normally Georgia games are boring. Not this year. 788 00:42:54,840 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: Excitement all around Georgia. Kirby Smart and Georgia have taught 789 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: you this lesson a thousand times. Yesterday was just one 790 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: thousand and one. What is the lesson? It's getting old now. 791 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 1: I keep saying the same thing after every Georgia game. 792 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 1: The lesson is, you got to cut the head off 793 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: the snake. Until you've cut the head off the snake, 794 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's wounded, that doesn't matter. If 795 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: you've ever killed a snake, you know how to kill it. 796 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: Cut its head off. Ballgame and everyone keeps wounding Georgia, 797 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 1: but they don't cut the head off. And then Georgia 798 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: bites you in the fourth quarter, and you're sitting there 799 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: at Nieland Stadium saying, how did they win this game? 800 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: And you're sitting there down at Auburn saying how did 801 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: they win this game? And you're sitting down there in 802 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: Jacksonville yesterday saying how well competitive character is how and 803 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: being comfortable being uncomfortable is how. Kirby Smart has a really, 804 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: really good understanding of the team he has here, and 805 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,240 Speaker 1: that he has is not dominant. Some of the Georgia 806 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 1: teams he's had, there are two or three or seven 807 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: dominant things they can do in a football game. This 808 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: Georgia team doesn't have all that. It's not a terrible team. 809 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: It's just not a historically great Georgia team. That doesn't 810 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: mean you can't win games. How do you have to 811 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 1: win them? You gotta win them in the margins. So, 812 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 1: like you look at a Georgia box score, where are 813 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: the margins? Here's one of them. Third down Georgia was 814 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 1: seven of fifteen, Florida was two of eleven. Decent edge. 815 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 1: They got that field goal right before the half. I 816 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,399 Speaker 1: thought that was a big deal. That third and seven 817 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 1: they converted late in the game, huge deal. Four explosive 818 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 1: passes for Georgia, three of them for Florida. Little bit 819 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 1: of a margin there, twenty to sixteen edge on first downs, 820 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 1: little bit of a margin there. What I'm saying is 821 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: there aren't many paper Popper stats on the stat sheet here, 822 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 1: There aren't any at all. Actually, Georgia's not dominating games 823 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 1: winning them. See whether you win fifty four to twenty 824 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: or twenty four to twenty, they give you a win. Now, 825 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: for those of you who had a Georgia minus seven 826 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 1: and a half ticket. You know that taking a knee 827 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: at the one yard line at the end costs you, 828 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: but it doesn't cost Georgia the win. And prayers up 829 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: for anyone who suffered there. We've all been there. I 830 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 1: would wish it on my worst enemy, but on people 831 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: I just dislike, I wouldn't even wish that on them. 832 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 1: That's a terrible, terrible thing. They are comfortable being uncomfortable, Georgia, 833 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: not the losing betters. They're comfortable being uncomfortable. It is 834 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 1: the biggest compliment that I find myself frequently giving to 835 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 1: Kirby's teams, because you know, you always have this vision 836 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 1: in your mind of, well, if games go the way 837 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: they're supposed to, Georgia will just win. And that's never 838 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 1: the way they prepare. They're always ready. They're ready for 839 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: a shootout, they're ready for a street fight. They tend 840 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: to do well in those moments. I felt like this 841 00:45:54,600 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: game got discussed under false pretenses, by the way, because 842 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: Georgia is like right there in the top ten or 843 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 1: top five or whatever they're ranked, and Florida's unranked, and 844 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: their seasons going off the rails, and they fired their coach. 845 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,919 Speaker 1: So that creates this perception in your mind that there's 846 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: this big gap between these teams. There aren't. There's not 847 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 1: a big gap between these teams. On one given Saturday. 848 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: The big question for Florida was are they going to 849 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: be checked in? I doubted whether they would be. That's 850 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 1: why I thought Georgia minus the points may be the 851 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: right side. We didn't bet it, but that's the way 852 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 1: I kind of slightly would have leaned. And look, I 853 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: mean they took a knee at the one yard line 854 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: at the end, so probably the right side. But point 855 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: being Florida was checked in. Florida hadn't mailed anything in. 856 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: So if you told me nothing more than that on Friday, 857 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: I would have expected a dog fight in this game, 858 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:49,280 Speaker 1: because Florida's plenty athletic enough to beat Georgia. So that's 859 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: not the way the game got discussed. We were on 860 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: the way back from Dallas yesterday and I was looking 861 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 1: at the way people were talking about the game as 862 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,359 Speaker 1: it rolled from third quarter into four quarter. People were 863 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 1: talking about it like this massive upset was brewing, like 864 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 1: Georgia was a twenty seven point favorite instead of a 865 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: seven point favorite. This wasn't gonna be a massive upset. 866 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 1: There was nothing shocking about Florida hanging with them. Look athletically, 867 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,240 Speaker 1: Florida had some edges on that field against Georgia yesterday. 868 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: That wasn't going to be a shock. Georgia is the 869 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 1: better team. That's why they're favored by a touchdown, but 870 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: not three touchdowns. We talked about that last week. We said, hey, 871 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 1: in the Big Ten, Ohio State is favored by three 872 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,280 Speaker 1: touchdowns over Penn State. Georgia is favored by one touchdown 873 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,799 Speaker 1: over Florida. Now you can make of what you will 874 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 1: of that as it compares the Big Ten to the SEC, 875 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: but as it relates to this game, this wasn't a surprise. 876 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean, what's Georgia's ceiling right now coming out of 877 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: this game. That's kind of what I think about. There's 878 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,319 Speaker 1: seventh right now at FanDuel in the title odds. So 879 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: they keep slipping down the board a little bit because 880 00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,760 Speaker 1: people keep watching them and they keep seeing, Oh, Georgia, 881 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 1: they're just kind of good, like it's a crime. Georgia's 882 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: they're okay, But you know, Notre Dame Oregon A and 883 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: m Alabama, Indiana, Ohio State all those teams have better 884 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: odds to win the national title right now than Georgia. 885 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to ask what do they do 886 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: that is elite? But my follow up question would be, well, 887 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: how high is their floor? And I think the answer 888 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 1: is it's pretty high. Like the worst you're going to 889 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 1: get out of Georgia is a pretty good performance. Ironically, 890 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 1: they're ceiling maybe lower than it's used to being, but 891 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 1: the floor is still way up there. They've got a 892 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: young team, far less experienced collectively, so look, it's not 893 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: an overly dynamic team, but they've got November to hit 894 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: their stride, whatever that's going to be, and they'll be 895 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,720 Speaker 1: a tough out come what may they'll be like Texas 896 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: is going to go in there in a couple of weeks. 897 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,919 Speaker 1: They got a big letdown spot this week, by the way, 898 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: not that they're usually prone to that, but I just 899 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 1: want to warn everyone. They go to Mississippi State Saturday. 900 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: State just got their first conference win under Levy, so 901 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,439 Speaker 1: it's a letdown spot for them as well for those 902 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: of you who are under any kind of false pretense 903 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: that there's gonna be some blowout game. Georgia is favored 904 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,840 Speaker 1: by seven and a half at Mississippi State eleven am kickoff, 905 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,359 Speaker 1: So they got a little lucky with that, But they 906 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: got Texas coming to Athens the week after, so I'm 907 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 1: just throwing a little trip to Starkville in between games 908 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: against Florida and Texas. Interesting. I will continue to say 909 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,919 Speaker 1: this because it's the way thus far that I plan 910 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,439 Speaker 1: on remembering the twenty twenty four Georgia or twenty twenty 911 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: five Georgia team. It is so obvious Kirby Smart loves 912 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 1: that team. He knows it's not his most talented team. 913 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,800 Speaker 1: The ceiling's not as high. I mean, look at this lineup. 914 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 1: They win by three at Tennessee after Tennessee misses a 915 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 1: game winning field goal. They got beat by three against Bama. 916 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: They trailed Auburn at the half and looked dead in 917 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 1: the water, came from behind to win that one. They 918 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 1: beat Old Miss even though Old Miss scored on like 919 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,920 Speaker 1: their first six drives, and then they lost you and 920 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 1: they won yesterday. Close games, just all a bunch of 921 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: close games. That's the profile of this team this year. 922 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,479 Speaker 1: But no one's cut the head off the snake yet, 923 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: no one's knocked them out yet. Bama beat them, but 924 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 1: you can lose one or two games now, so no 925 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 1: one's knocked him out yet. Just be interested to see, Like, 926 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: come playoff time, how do they match up? That's still 927 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 1: a really good roster. How do they match up? Let's 928 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: roll on. So far, so good, Bradley. The score of 929 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: the Texas Vanderbilt game, for those of you who didn't 930 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 1: watch it feels kind of misleading. Thirty four to thirty 931 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 1: one was the final yesterday, So you think who shootout 932 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 1: wire to wire down to the wire? Well, let me 933 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 1: set the table here. How rarely do we have a 934 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty one game that gets two and 935 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: a half, Chilai. Well, I'll tell you the games that 936 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 1: are thirty four to ten entering the fourth quarter and 937 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,920 Speaker 1: end up being thirty four to thirty one. Those are 938 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: close games that get two and a half, Childlai. This 939 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 1: is a perfect example, though, of why the model and 940 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 1: why any predictive models never fully discount the talent factory 941 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: like Texas for example. You'll notice that even after Texas 942 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,600 Speaker 1: loses some games, or Bama in the past, or Georgia 943 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,400 Speaker 1: in the past, Ohio State in the past, those teams 944 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 1: lose several games but you know, our model still has 945 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: empower rated top ten or Vegas numbers FANDUL odds still 946 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: favor them against teams that are ranked higher than them. 947 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,720 Speaker 1: Why is that, Well, it's because of what talent means, 948 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 1: and over the course of history, it's hard to keep 949 00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:01,880 Speaker 1: talented teams down for an entire year. So yesterday Texas 950 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden catches fire offensively, and really it 951 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: was playing off of what they did in the Mississippi 952 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 1: State game the week before. If this is arch Manning, 953 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,240 Speaker 1: Texas could be a problem. If this is arch Manning 954 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,439 Speaker 1: the back part of last week and this week, which 955 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:20,919 Speaker 1: we didn't even know he was going to play until 956 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 1: later in the week, Texas scored on their first six 957 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,719 Speaker 1: standard drives. In this game, arch was twenty five to 958 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,800 Speaker 1: thirty three to three, twenty eight, three touchdowns, no picks. 959 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 1: That is not a bad Vanderbilt defense. Guys, So you 960 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 1: remember what I told you earlier. Sometimes you gotta wait 961 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 1: for guys to get healthy to peak in the in 962 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:44,800 Speaker 1: the season. Sometimes guys also developmentally are not all ready 963 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 1: to go by week one. Sometimes guys clicked during the year, 964 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 1: Arch Manning may just be clicking. If he is Texas 965 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 1: is not out of anything yet. They're a two lost team, 966 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 1: but Texas still has everything in front of them. They 967 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 1: had twenty five rushes under one hundred yards yesterday too, 968 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 1: so they didn't have this great ground game to lean on, 969 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: but they still owned most of the game until the 970 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. And you've got a credit Vanderbilt. I mean, 971 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: they made a comeback here. Officiating look, I just got 972 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 1: to say, it's very, very suspect in the fourth quarter. 973 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: I think it aided Vanderbilt's effort to come back. Texas 974 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:28,200 Speaker 1: is secondary also greatly aided Vanderbilt's effort to come back. 975 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 1: A will to win aided Vanderbilt's effort to come back. 976 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,200 Speaker 1: But November is a very long month. And it's only 977 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 1: the first or second of November, but you start to 978 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 1: get out of these waters where you know you've got 979 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 1: your playoff fate in your own hands, and it just 980 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 1: gets tough. The air is then it just gets tough 981 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 1: to keep stringing together wins. So now vany seven and 982 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: two probably not gonna go to Atlanta, but they've still 983 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,319 Speaker 1: got their playoff fate in their hands. Bottom line is this, 984 00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,960 Speaker 1: They got Auburn and Kentucky at home. They go to Tennessee, 985 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 1: they win those three games they're in. So is there 986 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 1: an insurmountable hurdle there? I don't think so. At the 987 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,759 Speaker 1: same time, is there a gimme there? You may think 988 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 1: there is. Like Auburn at home, you may think there is. 989 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 1: The line is seven and a half on that game. 990 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,960 Speaker 1: You don't know how Auburn's gonna play under an interim 991 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:25,320 Speaker 1: head coach. You just watched Kentucky throw the crowbar into 992 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 1: the spokes at Auburn against the head of Auburn, and 993 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: then you got Tennessee and Neeland at the end of 994 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 1: the year. So they're all gonna be tough, but they're 995 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,760 Speaker 1: all winnable. But how much will this fourth quarter matter? 996 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 1: That's what I kept thinking about the Texas game. So 997 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,360 Speaker 1: first thing you want to do in this order, hold 998 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,880 Speaker 1: on and win the game. They did. Then the game's 999 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: over and I started to asking myself, all right, I 1000 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 1: just saw the Texas secondary get worked back to back 1001 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: weeks now, so a flaw has been exposed there. Three 1002 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,480 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plus passing yards for Vandy. So that's 1003 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 1: the first thing that's gonna matter down the road. But 1004 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 1: then the second thing is if Texas loses one more game. 1005 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 1: So let's say they go to Georgia and lose, but 1006 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: they beat A and M top five A and M 1007 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,399 Speaker 1: to end the year, and Texas is nine to three. 1008 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: A lot of chaos is happening. So like, there's going 1009 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,479 Speaker 1: to be a window, there's gonna be a little crack 1010 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,880 Speaker 1: and door where one of these nine and three sec 1011 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,359 Speaker 1: teams can sniff one of those lower seeds. I don't 1012 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 1: care if you don't like that. I'm just telling you 1013 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a possibility. How will the committee look 1014 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 1: back on this? Because this ended up being a very 1015 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,239 Speaker 1: close game, and I wonder like if Texas had a 1016 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,719 Speaker 1: thirty four to ten blowout of a top ten team 1017 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,800 Speaker 1: right there, Boy, that's emphatic. Now they won the game, 1018 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: so you know a win is a win in that case. 1019 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:54,480 Speaker 1: But if it comes nit picking time, will the committee 1020 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 1: look and say, well, that wasn't an overly convincing win. 1021 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 1: You know how it can be? You can that could 1022 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 1: it could be the committee's looking for a reason to 1023 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: put Texas in and they say, oh, it doesn't matter 1024 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: by fifty or by three. They won the game. I 1025 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 1: just Texas is still a dangerous team. If they've if 1026 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,440 Speaker 1: they've gotten a hot quarterback, Texas is still a very 1027 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: dangerous team. Not dangerous. Academy Sports and Outdoors the safest 1028 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: thing you could do. Thanksgiving coming up, Christmas coming up, 1029 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:30,479 Speaker 1: The entire the entire shopping paradigm in this country really 1030 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 1: shifts around this time of year. Academy Sports and Outdoors. 1031 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,759 Speaker 1: Has you set up You got falling winter gear there, 1032 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:41,080 Speaker 1: fall in winter sporting gear there, camping gear there, all 1033 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 1: kinds of big league chew there. Academy is a longtime 1034 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,840 Speaker 1: partner of the show. There's a ton of stuff there. 1035 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 1: Some you would expect, others you wouldn't expect. I just 1036 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,359 Speaker 1: implore you, and you know how rarely I use that word, 1037 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 1: pay them a visit before you go elsewhere.

USC beat Nebraska last 1054 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 1: night twenty one to seventeen. Shame for the home team, 1055 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 1: Shame for Will Compton, shame for me, for Taylor Luwan. 1056 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 1: We went three way money line on this one. Terrible 1057 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 1: things happened to Nebraska last night, so great things for USC. 1058 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: Two and a half. Tily on this game. Sort of 1059 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: a rock fight, if you want me to be honest 1060 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 1: with you. Jade Mayava held under two hundred yards and 1061 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,920 Speaker 1: yet USC wins a big team ten game on the road. Anyway, 1062 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,560 Speaker 1: that's a long headline, but it's a big headline. They 1063 00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 1: cleared a mental hurdle here, did USC. Cause if you 1064 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: tell me, they're gonna get poor quarterback numbers and they're 1065 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 1: still gonna win, and they're gonna win with defense, and 1066 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna win. Running the ball on the road. Hello, 1067 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 1: two times ons away, Hello at night Memorial Stadium, blackout conditions, Hello, 1068 00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 1: m So, how did they do this well? Their defense 1069 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 1: held Nebraska to five of twelve on third down oho 1070 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 1: of one on fourth down. Nebraska. I would call this 1071 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 1: a paper popper. Nebraska had eight drives of twenty five 1072 00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:05,240 Speaker 1: yards or less, but Josh Dylan Royola went down. I 1073 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: know that. I'll get to that in a second. Usc 1074 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,160 Speaker 1: also ran the ball thirty eight carries over two hundred 1075 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 1: yards five point three per carry. Now, some would call 1076 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,280 Speaker 1: that an ugly game, but you know, there have been 1077 00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 1: games in the past where Lincoln Riley has scored forty 1078 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 1: plus and lost fireworks all over the place. You know, 1079 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,720 Speaker 1: people never call those games ugly. But you win a 1080 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 1: lower scoring game and it's ugly. If that's the case, 1081 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 1: you give me ugly. I'll take the ugly. You guys 1082 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: can take the fireworks, you can take the pinball game. 1083 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:44,640 Speaker 1: This I think is probably as good an indication as 1084 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: anything we've seen this side of the Michigan game. That 1085 00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 1: what Lincoln Riley promised last winter about the transformation of 1086 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 1: the program is really starting to take root. Still a 1087 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 1: ways to go, but it's starting to take root. That's 1088 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: a really good sign. This is not the kind of 1089 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,120 Speaker 1: game that Lincoln Riley teams have been equipped to win 1090 01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 1: in years past, just purely on identity and philosophy. They 1091 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 1: haven't been so this is a good thing. Now. There 1092 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 1: wasn't much to say for Nebraska because Dylan Ryola went 1093 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:19,360 Speaker 1: down in this game broken fibula. I believe he's out 1094 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,720 Speaker 1: for the season, and so TJ. Latif had to come in, 1095 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 1: and it kind of was what it was at that point. 1096 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 1: They were up fourteen to six when Ryola went down 1097 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:35,480 Speaker 1: and they saw it slip away from him. Like I said, 1098 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 1: tough to watch. Everyone knows I had Nebraska as sort 1099 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,960 Speaker 1: of a wild kardish playoff team. So that's out. Now, 1100 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 1: they got three games left. They're all gonna be tough. 1101 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 1: With a backup quarterback, they're all gonna be tough. Jesse, 1102 01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: do you remember off the top of your head the 1103 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 1: early number for Nebraska at UCLA? No? Okay, Well I 1104 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 1: don't either, But they're all gonna be tough. But for 1105 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,440 Speaker 1: USC plus two and a half, okay, So Nebraska is 1106 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:07,360 Speaker 1: a short underdog on the road at UCLA, they will 1107 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 1: be a dog at Penn State. I don't know what 1108 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,920 Speaker 1: the Iowa number will be. I was their own story 1109 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,720 Speaker 1: right now. But USC controls their own destiny. That's the 1110 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 1: important thing to note. We are now going to be 1111 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,880 Speaker 1: two weeks into November and the University of Southern California 1112 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: controlling their own destiny, at least when it comes to 1113 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 1: the playoff. So they're six and two. Riddle me this, 1114 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:40,000 Speaker 1: these four games left Northwestern Iowa at Oregon UCLA. USC's 1115 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:44,880 Speaker 1: record in those four games will be what two, three, four, five? Say? Wait, Jesse, 1116 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 1: this seventh is a Friday, right, That's what he was 1117 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 1: complaining about. So Lincoln Riley is in a conference where 1118 01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 1: the schedule makes little sense because teams are all over 1119 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,480 Speaker 1: the country. They played a night game at Nebraska. Now 1120 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 1: that I've got to come home and get ready for 1121 01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 1: a Friday game. Not the easiest position to be in 1122 01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 1: the world. But that's what the money's for. All those 1123 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,000 Speaker 1: media rites dollars come in your way, that's what the 1124 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 1: money's for. I guess do you think they can go 1125 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 1: undefeated in November? Do you think they can they can 1126 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 1: run that schedule there. The game at Oregon's obviously the 1127 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 1: one everyone circles. But please, let's not get ourselves under 1128 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,720 Speaker 1: the misguided notion that us he can take anything for 1129 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 1: granted here, Let's not do that. But this is still 1130 01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 1: a team with a lot to play for. It's still 1131 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 1: a team that it could be one of those where 1132 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 1: they're sitting there and all of a sudden, it's Selection 1133 01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 1: Sunday and you've got like one or the ten seed 1134 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 1: and the eleven seed is open, and you're trying to 1135 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,600 Speaker 1: choose from some three loss SCC teams, but oh there's 1136 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 1: two loss USC put them in. It could happen. The 1137 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 1: big ten odds to make the playoff, Oregon's minus four 1138 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 1: point thirty. Of course, Ohio State and Indiana are virtually in, 1139 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 1: so it's favored, significantly favored right now to make the playoffs. 1140 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 1: USC's plus six thirty. So if you think, if you 1141 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,800 Speaker 1: think that USC is going to run the table here, 1142 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 1: I would encourage you to get down on that one 1143 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:20,000 Speaker 1: now and don't wait. Added takeaways in week ten, probably 1144 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,520 Speaker 1: another sip of water, still going, still going strong. Don't 1145 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 1: feel the voice cracking quite yet. Ah, but you never know, 1146 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 1: So hang in there. I'm talking to myself, not you, Okay. 1147 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:39,320 Speaker 1: Added takeaways from Week ten. Look, Ohio State, they look 1148 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,720 Speaker 1: pretty good yesterday. Let's just be real. They had more 1149 01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 1: yards on four plays than Penn State had the whole game. 1150 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,959 Speaker 1: All I have is paper popper stats for Ohio State. 1151 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,200 Speaker 1: There's no breakdown. It's just it's all dessert. There's no 1152 01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 1: there's no green beans here, there's no cabbage. It's just 1153 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 1: all dessert. So Ohio State had more plays or had 1154 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:01,440 Speaker 1: more yard cards on four plays than Penn State had 1155 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: the whole game. All right, Julian saying had more touchdowns 1156 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:10,480 Speaker 1: than in completions. That's fun. They outscored Penn State twenty 1157 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,560 Speaker 1: one to nothing in the second half. It is really 1158 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 1: weird to talk about Ohio State right now. I was 1159 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 1: trying to figure this out, trying to get to the 1160 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,440 Speaker 1: bottom of this. Today I keep seeing a whole bunch 1161 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 1: of people defending Ohio State, but I don't know what 1162 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 1: the claim is that they're defending against. It seems to 1163 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 1: have something to do with the SEC shocker, something to 1164 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 1: do with specific teams in the SEC. How Ohio State 1165 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,960 Speaker 1: matches up with them. And I keep trying to figure 1166 01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:47,520 Speaker 1: out what's happened. Did someone say Ohio State's not the 1167 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,240 Speaker 1: number one team in the country. I don't mean someone 1168 01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 1: with thirty eight followers and an egg for their profile picture. 1169 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 1: I mean real people whose opinions you value. Is anyone 1170 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 1: saying that, Is anyone saying, hey, Ohio State, Georgia neutral 1171 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,000 Speaker 1: field today, gimme Georgia. Are those people out there? If 1172 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,840 Speaker 1: they're out there, that's okay. Maybe they're right. I don't 1173 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 1: think they are, but maybe they're right, but at least 1174 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:15,479 Speaker 1: show them to me. Right now, I see for one 1175 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:19,040 Speaker 1: hundred people who have the solution, I only see like 1176 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,080 Speaker 1: one person presenting the problem. It's the craziest thing in 1177 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,960 Speaker 1: the world. How many people are gate keeping the obvious 1178 01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 1: number one team in the country right now? And if 1179 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 1: it's not them, it's Indiana. So the SEC doesn't tie 1180 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 1: into that at all. Right now, Even most A and 1181 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 1: m folks I know and Bama folks I know are 1182 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,320 Speaker 1: not saying they belong above Ohio State. So anyway, that's 1183 01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:47,000 Speaker 1: that next up? Oh no, oh no, oh no. So 1184 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:52,440 Speaker 1: yesterday I'm looking at the scoreboard. They're at gerald Ford 1185 01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 1: Stadium in Dallas, and I'm looking at the Duke Clemson 1186 01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 1: game and the score starts up there, I'm like, wow, 1187 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,560 Speaker 1: that must be a little uncomfortable there at Clemson. Then 1188 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 1: I saw him take a forty five to thirty eight 1189 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 1: lead late and I figured, oh, well, they got out 1190 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,480 Speaker 1: of there with one. And then we're walking out of 1191 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,360 Speaker 1: the stadium and I'm scrolling trying to get some games 1192 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 1: pulled up, and like, it says forty six to thirty 1193 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 1: five here. That can't be right. It was thirty eight, 1194 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,960 Speaker 1: so the touchdown would have tie it up. Wait a second, 1195 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 1: did Duke score and go for two and just just 1196 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,840 Speaker 1: go for the jugular? Did Clemson really just score forty 1197 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 1: five at home and lose? And the answer to all 1198 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,600 Speaker 1: of those questions, as it turns out, was yes. And 1199 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:44,160 Speaker 1: so I gotta find my paper. I regret to inform 1200 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:48,000 Speaker 1: you I have no other choice. Clemson's got to be 1201 01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 1: the Sarah McLaughlin Special. This was Clemson's sixth consecutive home 1202 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 1: loss to a Power for a team I don't even 1203 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 1: understand how that's possible. This place used to be called 1204 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:04,439 Speaker 1: Death Valley, used to be called Death Valley. They've lost 1205 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,520 Speaker 1: half a dozen games, they're in a row to Power four, teams. 1206 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: They were sixty two and five in that spot from 1207 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 1: twenty eleven through the middle of last year. Before this 1208 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 1: run started, they had been one hundred and thirty four 1209 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:24,600 Speaker 1: to zero when scoring forty five or more Clemson total 1210 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 1: losses per year starting in twenty nineteen. Tell me if 1211 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:32,520 Speaker 1: you can spot the trend here. One loss, two losses, 1212 01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:39,919 Speaker 1: three losses, three losses, four losses, four losses, five losses. Again, 1213 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,960 Speaker 1: tell me if you can spot the trend. They've got 1214 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 1: Florida State at Louisville, Furman at South Carolina still to go. 1215 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 1: They need to win three of those four to make 1216 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: a bowl. Yes, DeVos Swinny's team in danger of missing 1217 01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 1: a bowl. They play FSU this Saturday. I thought this 1218 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: may be one of the marquee game of the season. 1219 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:05,680 Speaker 1: In July, I called myself possibly taking the tour to 1220 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:10,160 Speaker 1: this game. It's on ACC network. They don't even count 1221 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 1: that in the Nielsen ratings. That's how badly they're trying 1222 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:17,880 Speaker 1: to hide this game from you. Quote from daboswineye after 1223 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:22,559 Speaker 1: the game, we'll win more championships, I promise you that. 1224 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 1: And apparently he's talking about football. So Clemson goes down 1225 01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 1: forty six to forty five to Duke. We move on 1226 01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 1: Ole miss one again. They beat South Carolina thirty to fourteen. 1227 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed, but every other coach 1228 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:47,200 Speaker 1: whose name has been mentioned in coaching searches has sucked 1229 01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 1: lately except one. Lane Kiffin just keeps rolling merrily along. 1230 01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:58,680 Speaker 1: Go to Oklahoma, we'll win. Come home against South Carolina. 1231 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 1: It's not October anymore. Huh, we'll win, no problem. Out 1232 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 1: rushed him two fifty eight to fifty, got half a 1233 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:08,599 Speaker 1: dozen sacks, perfect in the red zone. Here they are 1234 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 1: eight and one. They've actually got some wiggle room right now. 1235 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,000 Speaker 1: They got Citadel, Florida and at Mississippi State left. They 1236 01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 1: can afford to lose one of those games and still 1237 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,599 Speaker 1: make the playoff. Lane Kiffin's name is all over the place. 1238 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 1: Show me a job he's not a candidate for. And somehow, 1239 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 1: some way the noise has affected some are all. It's 1240 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 1: affected Rule, it's affected Brent Key, it's affected everybody else. 1241 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:36,599 Speaker 1: And Lane Kiffin headed off to hot yoga in the morning, 1242 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 1: Show up to work whenever. Just keep winning. Wow. Texas 1243 01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 1: Tech took care of business last night, forty three to 1244 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,639 Speaker 1: twenty against Kansas State one team in this game had 1245 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:52,160 Speaker 1: five turnovers, the other had two. Guess who won. One 1246 01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:56,360 Speaker 1: team had twenty points off turnovers. Good offensive balance here 1247 01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,560 Speaker 1: from Texas Tech. They went on the road. This is 1248 01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,880 Speaker 1: a tough now. Kansas State had won three of four 1249 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,120 Speaker 1: and barely dropped the other one like they were very, 1250 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 1: very hot, and Texas Tech took care of them. Two 1251 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,120 Speaker 1: forty nine passing, oneint eighty seven rushing on fourth down. 1252 01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 1: They were two of three and Kansas State waszer four. 1253 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,600 Speaker 1: And that's a that's a paper popper stat and that 1254 01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 1: leads me to this. We will be there this Saturday. 1255 01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 1: I already revealed this earlier in the show, but I 1256 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,519 Speaker 1: just want to reiterate it because I'm very, very excited 1257 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,720 Speaker 1: about this game. The top two teams in the Big 1258 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,479 Speaker 1: twelve right now are Brigham Young in Texas Tech. They 1259 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:39,759 Speaker 1: play this Saturday, eleven am, Lubbock, Texas. The whole world's 1260 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,360 Speaker 1: going to be there. We will be there. Game Day 1261 01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 1: is going to be there. Ryan Roussillo is rumored to 1262 01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,880 Speaker 1: be there. Just to give you an idea on a 1263 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:49,920 Speaker 1: scale of one to Rousseillo showing up, how big this 1264 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,920 Speaker 1: game is. We're at a solid nine point seventy five, 1265 01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 1: pending an announcement from him, it's going to be a 1266 01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 1: great day. I'm looking at Sunday in seventy nine, going 1267 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,599 Speaker 1: to be a great day. NC State beat Georgia Tech 1268 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,679 Speaker 1: forty eight to thirty six yesterday. And the thing about 1269 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,160 Speaker 1: it is, guys, Haines King did not have a bad game. 1270 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 1: He did his thing twenty five of thirty five for 1271 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:15,920 Speaker 1: four oh eight, two touchdowns and one interception. He added 1272 01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:19,000 Speaker 1: another one hundred and three yards on the ground and 1273 01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 1: two more scores. He statistically he is the team. But 1274 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,360 Speaker 1: you can't count on that because what Haines King will 1275 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,639 Speaker 1: not do is to this point, he is not pulling 1276 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,360 Speaker 1: a Travis Hunter. He will not play both ways. And 1277 01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 1: that's unfortunate because NC State had five hundred and eighty 1278 01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 1: three total yards yesterday. I have in my hand their 1279 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 1: drive chart, but you also have it on the screen. Touchdown, touchdown, punt, touchdown, 1280 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 1: field goal, touchdown, touchdown, field goal, touchdown, punt. That's it. 1281 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,640 Speaker 1: That equals forty eight, and that's not going to be 1282 01:11:53,640 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 1: good enough. Somehow, some way, NC State may end up 1283 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:04,160 Speaker 1: being responsible for wrecking multiple seasons CZI plural. They're the 1284 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 1: only ones who had beaten Virginia. They're now the only 1285 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 1: ones who had beaten Georgia Tech. I have no idea. 1286 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,640 Speaker 1: At least this was a conference game, the one he 1287 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 1: gains Virginia. What even a conference game? I got you 1288 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,679 Speaker 1: a conference game, though, and I got you a conference game. 1289 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:24,840 Speaker 1: The Model nailed Utah Cincinnati. Dusty Devor checking friends on 1290 01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,840 Speaker 1: the call last night. You know when I told you 1291 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:31,240 Speaker 1: last week the Model actually has Utah as the highest 1292 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,519 Speaker 1: rated team in the Big twelve. You know how even 1293 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,400 Speaker 1: as that spread got up to ten and a half 1294 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,360 Speaker 1: and it had everyone puzzled, like why is Utah this 1295 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,000 Speaker 1: big a favorite? I said, the Model thinks it's going 1296 01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 1: to be a blowout. It was a blowout. Model nailed 1297 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:47,720 Speaker 1: this one. Utah was four or five in the red 1298 01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:51,120 Speaker 1: zone for twenty four points. That is a paper popper. 1299 01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 1: That's all you need to know. Yet they're still on 1300 01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,080 Speaker 1: the outside looking in right now in the Big twelve 1301 01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:00,840 Speaker 1: title picture because they lost against Texas and lost against 1302 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:04,360 Speaker 1: Brigham Young. Those are conference games, and so they got it. 1303 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 1: They got two losses. Right now, Brigham Young is undefeated still, 1304 01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 1: Texas Tech and Cincinnati have one loss a piece in 1305 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,519 Speaker 1: conference play, so there's still some stuff that has to 1306 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:19,240 Speaker 1: happen for Utah to get in there, but they may 1307 01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 1: end up playing the best ball in November of any 1308 01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 1: team in this conference. So weird times right now. But yeah, 1309 01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,519 Speaker 1: good on the model. Good on the model. It nailed 1310 01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:35,200 Speaker 1: that game. Let's continue. The AP pole is out. Some 1311 01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,559 Speaker 1: would say this may be the last AP pole that 1312 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,200 Speaker 1: matters because we have the playoff rankings coming out Tuesday. 1313 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:43,360 Speaker 1: They're generated by flex power. Then I have them right here, 1314 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:48,040 Speaker 1: and we just talked about this team, Cincinnati, so it 1315 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,599 Speaker 1: is my duty to inform you they're still ranked. AP 1316 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,400 Speaker 1: has them twenty fifth and Iowa twenty sixth, so Iowa 1317 01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:59,439 Speaker 1: not ranked as Oregon heads in there under a touchdown. 1318 01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:04,439 Speaker 1: Favorite Oregon is at Iowa at unranked Iowa. So since 1319 01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:08,960 Speaker 1: he's twenty five, Washington's twenty four. Tennessee dropped nine spots 1320 01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 1: to twenty three, which ironically is where we had Tennessee 1321 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 1: already in the Commissioner's poll. So welcome to the party, 1322 01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 1: my friends at the AP. Late as usual, but welcome 1323 01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 1: to the party. Memphis is twenty two, Michigan is twenty one. 1324 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,839 Speaker 1: You know, Purdue was one of our favorite bets. Yesterday. 1325 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,720 Speaker 1: I was stunned that Michigan was laying twenty one and 1326 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,599 Speaker 1: a half against Purdue because I thought there were several 1327 01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:36,080 Speaker 1: scenarios where Michigan doesn't score twenty one, and I think 1328 01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 1: that was actually what they scored. It's like twenty one 1329 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 1: to sixteen or something like that. Michigan's just kind of 1330 01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:44,479 Speaker 1: quietly winning games. That Justice Haynes's going to be out 1331 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,439 Speaker 1: for a little while now. The tailback sustained an injury. 1332 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,519 Speaker 1: So keep an eye on that. Southern Col's at twenty. 1333 01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 1: I want you to keep an eye on some of 1334 01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:57,400 Speaker 1: these teams like USC, Washington, Iowa. I mentioned they're at 1335 01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,840 Speaker 1: twenty six. Just remember that for something I'm going to 1336 01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 1: say in a second. Missouri's at nineteen. So Missouri's coming 1337 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:07,240 Speaker 1: off of bye. Remember both Pribuela. The quarterback is out 1338 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:11,880 Speaker 1: for the year. Here's what's interesting. They let me make 1339 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 1: sure of this line right quick. They play texts. They 1340 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:18,960 Speaker 1: play Texas A and M Saturday at home, and you're thinking, okay, 1341 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 1: undefeated A and M. Missouri quarterback's done for the year. 1342 01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,519 Speaker 1: You know what the number on the game is. It's 1343 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,320 Speaker 1: five and a half A and M's a five and 1344 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:34,760 Speaker 1: a half point favorite, so that's one to keep an 1345 01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: eye on as well. Miami's at eighteen, Miami plummeted. They 1346 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:46,160 Speaker 1: dropped eight spots. I don't know, man, that's you could 1347 01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,919 Speaker 1: put them lower than that, but you're not supposed to project. 1348 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,800 Speaker 1: But they do have that win over Notre Dame. They've 1349 01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: got the win over USF, so they started the season strong. 1350 01:15:56,439 --> 01:16:00,400 Speaker 1: It's just Miami keeps finishing weak. They keep finishing these seasons. Week. 1351 01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,479 Speaker 1: Utah's up seven spots, and I agree with that, Like 1352 01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,240 Speaker 1: Utah is playing really good football right now, which begs 1353 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,320 Speaker 1: the question, how are you supposed to handle this? Are 1354 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,840 Speaker 1: you supposed to backweight the resume? Which I think is 1355 01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,400 Speaker 1: fair if you're an AP voter if you lost games 1356 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 1: earlier in the year, like Utah lost to Texas Tech 1357 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,759 Speaker 1: and Texas Tech was playing their backup quarterback. But Devon 1358 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 1: dan Pierre has been banged up a little bit, if 1359 01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,640 Speaker 1: he's looking right, if he's playing his best ball, Like, 1360 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,920 Speaker 1: how do you weigh that? Committee is going to talk 1361 01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:31,200 Speaker 1: about the same thing on Tuesday night. Georgia Tech dropped 1362 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,720 Speaker 1: eight spots there at sixteenth. I think teams like this 1363 01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:36,640 Speaker 1: get punished a little bit more like they drop a 1364 01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,720 Speaker 1: little bit further, which is fair. I guarantee you if 1365 01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 1: Brigham Young loses Saturday, same thing will happen to them. 1366 01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:47,320 Speaker 1: If you're undefeated in your strength of schedules week. But 1367 01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 1: you're undefeated, I think the AP voters are willing to 1368 01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:54,960 Speaker 1: inflate you with the understanding that the ice is very thin. 1369 01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,840 Speaker 1: So if you fall, you're going to fall a pretty 1370 01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 1: good ways. Because as long as you're undefeated, we're we're 1371 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,479 Speaker 1: gonna honor that. But if you lose and you don't 1372 01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:07,200 Speaker 1: have strength to schedule, you're gonna drop pretty precipitously. So 1373 01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech did. I got no problem with that. Vandy's 1374 01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,839 Speaker 1: at fifteen two lost, Vandy still in the top fifteen 1375 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:14,840 Speaker 1: for as long as it took the AP to come 1376 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,600 Speaker 1: around on Vandy in the preseason. I am proud of 1377 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:21,720 Speaker 1: you guys. We do offer congratulations, We do offer some 1378 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,479 Speaker 1: pats on the back around here. Vandy's still top fifteen. 1379 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 1: I think they should be. That's around where we'll probably 1380 01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:32,000 Speaker 1: have them. Louisville is at fourteen, just sneaking, just sneaking around, 1381 01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:36,719 Speaker 1: all right. Texas Texas is back. Texas is up seven spots, 1382 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 1: number thirteen. I wrote the words there. They are exclamation 1383 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:46,439 Speaker 1: mark in my notes. They're not out of it. It 1384 01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:50,360 Speaker 1: brings me suh. It doesn't bring me any pain or 1385 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,040 Speaker 1: any joy. I just know a lot of you wanted 1386 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 1: to write Texas off. I didn't even have him ranked 1387 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,560 Speaker 1: last week. I'll have them ranked now. I needed to 1388 01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,920 Speaker 1: see him gonna win here. They were just they were 1389 01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:05,360 Speaker 1: getting rewarded for well, partly for their logo. And then 1390 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,160 Speaker 1: they had lost to Ohio State, and they had lost 1391 01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: to Florida, and like, where were the impressive wins so far? 1392 01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,439 Speaker 1: The Oklahoma win, I'll grant you that they needed another one. 1393 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,719 Speaker 1: They got one. So they're thirteen. Virginia is twelve, still 1394 01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,679 Speaker 1: rolling one loss. Oklahoma's up seven spots to number eleven, 1395 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,599 Speaker 1: and that win against Tennessee surprised me yesterday. I wasn't 1396 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:31,639 Speaker 1: really prepared for this, but they're up at number eleven. 1397 01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about them a little bit later in 1398 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 1: the show. Oklahoma still in the playoff picture. Texas is 1399 01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 1: still in the playoff picture. And I think to varying degrees, 1400 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:42,240 Speaker 1: people had written both of them off. Vanderbilt, you can't 1401 01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,640 Speaker 1: write them off yet either. They're all still in it. 1402 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,600 Speaker 1: If any of them went out, they will be in 1403 01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,280 Speaker 1: the playoff. Let me put it that way. Notre Dame's 1404 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:54,479 Speaker 1: at ten, Texas Tech is at nine, and bringing Young 1405 01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,120 Speaker 1: is at eight. Okay, so that is nine versus eight 1406 01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 1: this week. That's the matchup we have in Lubbock. How 1407 01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 1: far does the loser of that game drop both in 1408 01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:09,960 Speaker 1: the ap and also in the playoff committee's minds, because again, 1409 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:14,320 Speaker 1: Texas Tech's already got a loss, so theirs would be 1410 01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,519 Speaker 1: their second. And if they look this is not supposed 1411 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,519 Speaker 1: to matter, but it does matter. If they lose at 1412 01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:23,639 Speaker 1: home as an over a touchdown favorite, which they are 1413 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:27,280 Speaker 1: in the odds, they will be like, really heavily punished 1414 01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 1: for it. Second law people will look at it the 1415 01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,719 Speaker 1: same way they looked at Miami losing to Louisville. Louisville's 1416 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 1: a really good team. No one cared. Miami was favored 1417 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:36,760 Speaker 1: by twelve and a half. So when they lost at 1418 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 1: home to a team that were favored by double digits against, 1419 01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 1: they plummet. If Texas Tech has their second loss against 1420 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,200 Speaker 1: a team they're a big favorite against, I think they'll 1421 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: plummet a little bit further than you're comfortable with If 1422 01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 1: Brigham Young loses, you're losing. And what if they lose 1423 01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 1: a close game they get blown out, that's different. But 1424 01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,760 Speaker 1: they lose a close game in love, but to a 1425 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 1: top ten team. How far do they fall? Because on 1426 01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:06,080 Speaker 1: one hand, this is by far the best team they've 1427 01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:10,080 Speaker 1: played so far. Utah is really good too, though, so 1428 01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,000 Speaker 1: they do have that quality. Utah win, they went on 1429 01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,479 Speaker 1: the road and beat Iowa State, they will have lost 1430 01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,760 Speaker 1: against the highest rated team they've played so far. How 1431 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,599 Speaker 1: far do they fall? Just keep an eye on that, 1432 01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:24,080 Speaker 1: because that means a lot for how the committee is 1433 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,639 Speaker 1: going to view teams that are like one or two losses, 1434 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,040 Speaker 1: especially one loss from the Big twelve against maybe some 1435 01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,720 Speaker 1: at large teams or teams for at large spots. Ole 1436 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 1: miss is seven, Oregon is six. Now with Oregon, I 1437 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:39,519 Speaker 1: want you to keep this in mind because a lot 1438 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,519 Speaker 1: of people weren't looking at this a little while ago. 1439 01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,200 Speaker 1: So now we've got we've got November into focus a 1440 01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 1: little bit. Oregon's remaining schedule has them playing at number 1441 01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:55,760 Speaker 1: twenty six Iowa, number twenty at home USC, and at 1442 01:20:55,840 --> 01:21:01,559 Speaker 1: number twenty four Washington, and no one's really circling those 1443 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,800 Speaker 1: games right now as far as I can tell, like 1444 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 1: they go to Iowa this week, they're under a touchdown 1445 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,720 Speaker 1: favorite at Iowa. This could be a dogfight. All of 1446 01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 1: these games could be, so Oregon's got it to do 1447 01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,920 Speaker 1: if they're going to make the playoff. This is not 1448 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,679 Speaker 1: going to be easy at all for them. Five through ones, 1449 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:22,080 Speaker 1: the same as it was Georgia, Bama, A, and m 1450 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 1: Indiana Ohio State. By this time next week, when you 1451 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,639 Speaker 1: look at who plays each other, there is a world 1452 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:33,799 Speaker 1: where eight or nine of the top ten are SEC, 1453 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:38,679 Speaker 1: Big Ten and Notre Dame. And again, the reason that 1454 01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,400 Speaker 1: matters more so than it did last year was because 1455 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 1: of the changes in the seeding in the playoff, where 1456 01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,479 Speaker 1: you don't automatically get a first round by only for 1457 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:54,639 Speaker 1: conference champs. Now it's just we play the conference title 1458 01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,720 Speaker 1: games and the highest seeds are the ones that get 1459 01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:01,920 Speaker 1: the buys. And it is looking very like that the 1460 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:03,960 Speaker 1: top four teams are just going to be the Big 1461 01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,920 Speaker 1: Ten champ in the SEC champ and the loser of 1462 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,559 Speaker 1: the Big Ten title game and the loser of the 1463 01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 1: SEC title game. So that's important to note. They're watching 1464 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 1: us in Monte Zuoma, Georgia right next to Oglethorpe. For 1465 01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:20,719 Speaker 1: those of you unfamiliar, they're watching us in Spokane, Washington, 1466 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,080 Speaker 1: home of rokwand Smith, Montezuma, Georgia. By the way, Spokane, 1467 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:28,320 Speaker 1: Washington and Wimberley, Texas. We appreciate you guys. Look at 1468 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 1: the Ramanudle Express shirt. You know that's our best seller. 1469 01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:35,400 Speaker 1: Jesse in the Pate State Store. Peytstatemaateial dot Com. By 1470 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:39,479 Speaker 1: the way, new items being added daily, not quite daily. 1471 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 1: We had a meeting Friday. I have heard the cries 1472 01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,360 Speaker 1: for Christmas sweaters. Let me just put it that way. 1473 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,280 Speaker 1: We got some exciting products headed the Peate State Store, 1474 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,479 Speaker 1: but the Ramanuel Express shirt is our number one seller, 1475 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,519 Speaker 1: which should be because we won again this past weekend. 1476 01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:59,439 Speaker 1: So buy the shirt with your winnings. I think that's 1477 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:07,080 Speaker 1: ethical and ugh, peytstatematerial dot Com. I need to update 1478 01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 1: my playoff predictions if that's okay with you. Guys. Now 1479 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,439 Speaker 1: you may be thinking to yourself, didn't you just do 1480 01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:15,759 Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago. Yes, but it's unfair 1481 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,960 Speaker 1: to me because some things have changed. So I just 1482 01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,760 Speaker 1: want a third chance at playoff predictions again. It's my 1483 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:27,559 Speaker 1: constitutional right. Some people exercise their Fifth Amendment, right, I'm 1484 01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:31,799 Speaker 1: exercising my right to repredict the playoff. Okay, Tomato, Tomato, 1485 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,680 Speaker 1: you live your life. I'll live my life. The playoff rankings, 1486 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,960 Speaker 1: the first edition of them will be this Tuesday. So 1487 01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,120 Speaker 1: before we get there, let me remind you of where 1488 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:45,280 Speaker 1: I was in the mid season. You're seeing it on 1489 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,960 Speaker 1: your screen. I had Georgia Ole Miss in the first round, 1490 01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:52,559 Speaker 1: had USF as the G five team. Yes, I had 1491 01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,800 Speaker 1: Nebraska in the playoff because I thought they could go 1492 01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:57,080 Speaker 1: ten and two. That's out the window now with the 1493 01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:00,559 Speaker 1: Dylan Royola injury, so I've got to replace them. Yes, 1494 01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 1: I had Miami winning the ACC. I am probably replacing 1495 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,479 Speaker 1: them now Elsewhere. Most of these other teams I think 1496 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,000 Speaker 1: are still in line to make the playoff, the order 1497 01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:16,879 Speaker 1: probably switches up, and that Alabama Oregon national title matchup, 1498 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,639 Speaker 1: I swore to you, I'm not coming off that unless 1499 01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:22,479 Speaker 1: I have really, really good reason to come off that. 1500 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 1: So my conscience is weighing on me right now. So 1501 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,519 Speaker 1: first off, let's just let's just put it up there. 1502 01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,479 Speaker 1: Nebraska's not gonna make it anymore. Miami's probably not gonna 1503 01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,280 Speaker 1: make it anymore, all right, So In the ACC, let 1504 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:42,599 Speaker 1: me let you know that I had Miami over Georgia Tech. 1505 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,080 Speaker 1: I gotta switch that up. I gotta switch that up 1506 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:49,680 Speaker 1: to Louisville over Georgia Tech. Miami and Georgia Tech just 1507 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 1: fell last weekend or yesterday. It was Miami Georgia Tech. 1508 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm changing that to Louisville over Georgia Tech. Louisville is 1509 01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 1: in a good spot right now. I think Louisville could 1510 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,559 Speaker 1: win the ACC if they're gonna make the playoff. In 1511 01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,320 Speaker 1: the SEC, I've got no reason to change up the prediction. 1512 01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,680 Speaker 1: I had Alabama over Texas A and M. I will 1513 01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,600 Speaker 1: keep Alabama over Texas A and M. I reserve the 1514 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,559 Speaker 1: right to change that up until kickoff if the game 1515 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:18,080 Speaker 1: does indeed happen. In the Big ten, it's been Ohio 1516 01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:21,679 Speaker 1: State Indiana collision course for a long time. I still 1517 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:24,920 Speaker 1: think that until further notice. I'll take Ohio State to 1518 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:28,680 Speaker 1: beat Indiana. Nothing would shock me, but I'll stick with 1519 01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:31,240 Speaker 1: that because that was already my prediction. In the Big twelve, 1520 01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,479 Speaker 1: got to switch it up a little bit there, Still 1521 01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,960 Speaker 1: gonna take Texas Tech. I'm gonna slide Brigham Young into 1522 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,800 Speaker 1: that game. I will take Texas Tech over BYU. Those 1523 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,519 Speaker 1: teams played this Saturday. I am predicting a rematch in 1524 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:50,439 Speaker 1: Arlington in the first week in December. So just remember 1525 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 1: as we're going through this, I'm about to show you 1526 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:53,799 Speaker 1: the seedings and I'm about to give you the bracket. 1527 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,960 Speaker 1: But just remember the way this works. Now, last year 1528 01:25:58,000 --> 01:25:59,600 Speaker 1: you were looking at saying, ooh, who's gonna win the 1529 01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:01,640 Speaker 1: Big twelve? Oh, cause that team's going to get a 1530 01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,920 Speaker 1: first round by O who's gonna win the ACC? Can 1531 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 1: Clemson win? Can they get a first round by? That's 1532 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,640 Speaker 1: not the case this year. The case this year is 1533 01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 1: you get a first round by if you're ranked one, two, three, 1534 01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:20,040 Speaker 1: or four. That's it. After conference title weekend, that's it. Okay, 1535 01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 1: just keep that in mind. So here's how I have 1536 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 1: the one through twelve seeding playing out right now. Ohio 1537 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,599 Speaker 1: State wins the Big Ten, I got them number one. 1538 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,200 Speaker 1: Bama wins the SEC, I've got them number two, and 1539 01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,439 Speaker 1: then I've got the teams they beat number three and four, 1540 01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,760 Speaker 1: Indiana and Texas A and M. Right now, I've got 1541 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,640 Speaker 1: Ole Miss. I don't have them losing another game, So 1542 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,200 Speaker 1: I've got him in the five spot. Right now, I 1543 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:49,559 Speaker 1: got Texas Tech winning the Big Twelve, and I've got 1544 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,360 Speaker 1: them winning out too, So I mean that's a one 1545 01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,080 Speaker 1: lost Big twelve champ. I think that have them pretty high. 1546 01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,240 Speaker 1: I've got him at six. I've got Louisville at seven, 1547 01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 1: the ACC champ. I think that's still have them pretty high. 1548 01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 1: Not a lot of other dominant teams out there. So 1549 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,439 Speaker 1: then we get down to like a Georgia, maybe a 1550 01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:09,160 Speaker 1: two loss Georgia, maybe a one loss Georgia. If it's 1551 01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:11,200 Speaker 1: one lost Georgia, they'd be higher than eight. So I've 1552 01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:14,880 Speaker 1: got them losing one more game, Oregon at nine. Think 1553 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:17,480 Speaker 1: Oregon's got one more loss coming in there. Just mathematically 1554 01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:21,720 Speaker 1: the percentages suggest maybe one more loss. We'll see. Notre 1555 01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 1: Dame's still sitting at ten. I inserted Oklahoma at eleven. 1556 01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,200 Speaker 1: I think the window is opening more and more for 1557 01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:33,920 Speaker 1: a three loss SEC team to back into this. Right now, 1558 01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 1: I would project it to be Oklahoma, and we've still 1559 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,040 Speaker 1: got three or four more weekends to go where the 1560 01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 1: window could open more and more. So I'm going ahead 1561 01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:46,040 Speaker 1: and familiarizing myself with the idea that a three loss 1562 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,080 Speaker 1: SEC team could make it in here. There are a 1563 01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:50,639 Speaker 1: couple of teams that can stand to lose three games 1564 01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:52,920 Speaker 1: in the resume still be good enough. So I got 1565 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,559 Speaker 1: Oklahoma for the time being right there at eleven and 1566 01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 1: US seth even though they just lost a game. I 1567 01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:01,200 Speaker 1: still got them as my G five team. So a 1568 01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,840 Speaker 1: couple of questions before I show you the bracket. How 1569 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,840 Speaker 1: does the committee handle an eleven and two Big twelve 1570 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,760 Speaker 1: runner up? So think through this with me. Let's say 1571 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:17,400 Speaker 1: let's say Bringing Young loses this Saturday to Texas Tech, 1572 01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:19,760 Speaker 1: all right, and then they go the rest of the 1573 01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 1: way and they finish eleven and one, they go to 1574 01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 1: their conference title game, and let's say the week of 1575 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:32,719 Speaker 1: the conference title game they're ranked ninth. If they lose 1576 01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,840 Speaker 1: that conference title game and they finish eleven and two, 1577 01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,479 Speaker 1: is the Committee going to drop them out? Now? You 1578 01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,360 Speaker 1: may say, oh, no, no, because remember they didn't do 1579 01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:45,320 Speaker 1: it last year. That's one year. We don't have an 1580 01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:49,840 Speaker 1: established enough sample size or track record to have understood 1581 01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,880 Speaker 1: the trends of what the Committee will do. And also 1582 01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,040 Speaker 1: keep in mind, what I'm about to say should not matter. 1583 01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 1: I am fully admitting to you it should not matter. 1584 01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,800 Speaker 1: But I'm not on the committee yet, so it may 1585 01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 1: matter that last year when they put SMU in the playoff, 1586 01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:12,400 Speaker 1: for example, they got beat soundly. If some of you 1587 01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,599 Speaker 1: were already yelling, I know it's not supposed to matter. 1588 01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:18,640 Speaker 1: I know that, and I know you're gonna get blowouts 1589 01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 1: in the first round somewhere. No matter what. I know that. 1590 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm not telling you I agree with it. I'm telling you, 1591 01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:27,559 Speaker 1: let's be mindful that it may be in the back 1592 01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:30,120 Speaker 1: of their mind. Just remember that. So that's the first 1593 01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:33,280 Speaker 1: thing I've got in mind. Secondly, Texas could radically alter 1594 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,479 Speaker 1: this right now. I'm not projecting Texas to make the playoff. 1595 01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:39,640 Speaker 1: If they went out, they're one hundred percent in. And 1596 01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,599 Speaker 1: if they don't win out, if they go nine to 1597 01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:46,599 Speaker 1: three and they split the Georgia A and M games, 1598 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:49,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna either have a win in Athens or they're 1599 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:52,200 Speaker 1: gonna have a win against ANM at home. Either way, 1600 01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 1: it's going to be a top ten win. What is 1601 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:58,320 Speaker 1: their resume. One of their losses would be Ohio State, 1602 01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:01,479 Speaker 1: number one team in the country. Theoretically they would have 1603 01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:05,280 Speaker 1: lost to Florida on the road. That would be viewed 1604 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,679 Speaker 1: as a bad loss, but that was pre Napier fired 1605 01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:11,559 Speaker 1: Florida and they will have either a loss to Georgia 1606 01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 1: or A and M, but a win against Georgia or 1607 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,360 Speaker 1: A and M that window for the three loss SEC team. 1608 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm just interested to see how wide or shut that is. 1609 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:24,599 Speaker 1: So what does this bracket look like? Well, here you go. 1610 01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:30,680 Speaker 1: This rearranging of teams would mean Oregon travels to Athens, 1611 01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:35,400 Speaker 1: Georgia for around one game. I got USF headed to Oxford, 1612 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:41,120 Speaker 1: Mississippi for around one game. Notre Dame plays at Louisville, 1613 01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:45,360 Speaker 1: and Oklahoma plays at Texas Tech. My winners of those 1614 01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:50,680 Speaker 1: games right now, give me Georgia over Oregon, give me 1615 01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:58,200 Speaker 1: Ole Miss over USF, give me Texas Tech over Oklahoma 1616 01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:03,000 Speaker 1: in Lubbock, baby oooh, and give me Notre Dame over Louisville. 1617 01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:08,040 Speaker 1: So that gives us the first indication that Ohio State 1618 01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:12,280 Speaker 1: may have a really, really ridiculous draw if this scenario 1619 01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:15,040 Speaker 1: were to play out. But they did last year. They 1620 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 1: ran the buzzsaw last year as well, so it's not 1621 01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:19,120 Speaker 1: like it's gonna bother them. But this is not an 1622 01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:23,000 Speaker 1: easy path for Ohio State. So we got Georgia Ohio State. 1623 01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:26,280 Speaker 1: Round two. We got A and M old miss round two. 1624 01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,720 Speaker 1: Notice there are three SEC teams on that side of 1625 01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:31,720 Speaker 1: the bracket, which is a good guarantee to eliminate some 1626 01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:35,639 Speaker 1: SEC teams. Notre Dame Alabama is a second round game, 1627 01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:39,600 Speaker 1: and Indiana Texas Tech is a second round game. I 1628 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:43,360 Speaker 1: got Bama over Notre Dame. I got Indiana over Texas Tech. 1629 01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,320 Speaker 1: I got A and M over ol Miss, Ohio State 1630 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:50,040 Speaker 1: over Georgia, which gives us a final four of Ohio 1631 01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:54,080 Speaker 1: State versus A and M and Alabama versus Indiana. That's 1632 01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:57,440 Speaker 1: Debor versus his old team. By the way, that's Signetti 1633 01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:01,040 Speaker 1: versus his old team. Come to think of it, I 1634 01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:05,000 Speaker 1: will take Ohio State and Alabama to advance to the 1635 01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:09,080 Speaker 1: National championship game. My national champion the preseason was Alabama. 1636 01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:11,519 Speaker 1: I'm not coming off that until I absolutely have to, 1637 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:14,280 Speaker 1: and so give me Alabama to continue to win the 1638 01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:19,360 Speaker 1: national title. I had to bump Oregon out because I 1639 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:22,200 Speaker 1: think Oregon needs to be doubted right now, and because 1640 01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 1: I they have got a tough road here. They've got 1641 01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:31,240 Speaker 1: a tough road and it starts this weekend at Iowa. 1642 01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:34,519 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, with that bracket set 1643 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,200 Speaker 1: up the way it is, they would I mean, Oregon 1644 01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:39,599 Speaker 1: would need to beat Georgia, Ohio State A and M 1645 01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:41,680 Speaker 1: to get to the title game. I just think it's 1646 01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 1: far more likely Ohio State gets there. So if you 1647 01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:47,320 Speaker 1: want to bet on that, you can bet on it. 1648 01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:49,439 Speaker 1: You can got a FanDuel right now. I do want 1649 01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:51,519 Speaker 1: to do something. I do this once every few weeks. 1650 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:55,040 Speaker 1: Like sometimes I'll just tell you, hey, we got deposit 1651 01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:58,320 Speaker 1: bonuses over there, we got some we got some bonus 1652 01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:00,960 Speaker 1: bets over there. Sometimes we just flat out drop cash 1653 01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,439 Speaker 1: into your account, like we did last week. But every 1654 01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:07,120 Speaker 1: now and then I do hit up FanDuel and say, hey, 1655 01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 1: tonight's going to be one of those responsible gaming nights, 1656 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,920 Speaker 1: and they're always cool with it. So that's where I 1657 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,679 Speaker 1: tell you. Please be careful when you're doing this stuff. 1658 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:24,440 Speaker 1: Please don't ever misconstrue what should be done for entertainment 1659 01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,880 Speaker 1: with what you need to do to make sure you 1660 01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:30,479 Speaker 1: have enough money in your bank account. Don't ever bet 1661 01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:32,800 Speaker 1: for that. Don't ever be doing that. Don't ever be 1662 01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: borrowing money to do this, Don't ever be betting money you 1663 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:39,080 Speaker 1: can't afford to lose. If you've got even a slight 1664 01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:41,760 Speaker 1: inkling of a question in your mind as to whether 1665 01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:46,360 Speaker 1: you should don't full stop. So that's the first part 1666 01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:49,639 Speaker 1: of that. The second part is I would strongly encourage 1667 01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:51,879 Speaker 1: you guys, when you look at your account on FanDuel, 1668 01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 1: don't just skim over all the tabs. Look at the 1669 01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:59,280 Speaker 1: tabs because right now there's an RG hub. RG stands 1670 01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:03,760 Speaker 1: for Responsible Gaming. It's on your account page. If you 1671 01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:07,560 Speaker 1: go to the tab that says deposit alerts, I strongly 1672 01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:11,640 Speaker 1: encourage you to use those alerts to set your values, 1673 01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: set your frequencies. Think about this the same way you 1674 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,960 Speaker 1: think about fraud alert detection on your credit cards. All 1675 01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:21,280 Speaker 1: the alerts you have set, you know, to make sure 1676 01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,360 Speaker 1: nothing goes haywire. There's no reason you should not be 1677 01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:26,760 Speaker 1: doing that with your fan duel account. I know some 1678 01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:28,720 Speaker 1: of you think yourself, oh, that's only for people who 1679 01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:33,000 Speaker 1: have problems. No, the people who have problems shouldn't be betting, period. 1680 01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:38,559 Speaker 1: It's for everybody. I use it. It's for everybody. It's 1681 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 1: stupid not to use it. So it's smart, it's very 1682 01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:46,160 Speaker 1: common sense, it's responsible. It's there already. They built the product. 1683 01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:48,439 Speaker 1: All you have to do is use it. And you 1684 01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:52,160 Speaker 1: got that. On top of deposit alerts, you've got all 1685 01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:54,479 Speaker 1: kinds of different guardrails you can put on yourself. In 1686 01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:58,320 Speaker 1: other words, do it, use it, no questions, please use. 1687 01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:01,920 Speaker 2: Those must be twenty one plus and present in select 1688 01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:05,040 Speaker 2: states for Kansas in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino, or 1689 01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:08,080 Speaker 2: eighteen plus and present in DC.

Honestly, 1703 01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:52,960 Speaker 1: May we went seven and four. I thought we were 1704 01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,799 Speaker 1: gonna do better than that. So that's what this weekend 1705 01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:59,200 Speaker 1: is for. As I look at the board to start 1706 01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:03,880 Speaker 1: the week, one game stands out to me. One thing 1707 01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:08,040 Speaker 1: stands out to me, and that is that Clemson is 1708 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:13,479 Speaker 1: laying points this week against Florida State. And at my core, 1709 01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:17,360 Speaker 1: I don't agree with it. Florida State plus two and 1710 01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:20,559 Speaker 1: a half. I can't believe I'm saying it is gonna 1711 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:24,439 Speaker 1: be our first best bet of the week. We think 1712 01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:29,040 Speaker 1: the wrong team is favored. Clemson has lost six consecutive 1713 01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 1: games against Power four opponents in Death Valley, so it's 1714 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,639 Speaker 1: not the toughest place to play right now. And yes 1715 01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:40,120 Speaker 1: it is a bounce back spot. I don't care. I'll 1716 01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:43,400 Speaker 1: take Florida State plus two and a half A good, 1717 01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:45,719 Speaker 1: solid show tonight.
