WEBVTT - Hour 1 - Sparty Upsets Kentucky, Andy Staples 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.920 Sports Radio, Welcome to the program.

We're rooting for chaos and the college football 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:25.000 rankings right will look at the different scenarios. It just 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:29.000 feels like TCU is sitting there at four. Are they 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.000 going to stay there at for you? Even if they 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.080 go undefeated. We'll talk about that coming up in a 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.559 little bit.

Operator Tyler's standing by to take your phone calls. 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.560 Seaton will have the pull question coming up. Watched some 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:07.240 mack football last night. It's maction. It's awesome. I got 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.520 a chance to watch Bowling Green last night. Ohio you 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:16.679 ball State Toledo. It was fun. More maction coming up tonight. 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.600 College basketball watched that as well. Whenever we look at 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:26.199 big time programs, elite programs, Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, they're usually 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.520 there right and they should be, but then there's Michigan State. 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:34.000 Every year it feels like, around I don't know, March, 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.760 we go well, Michigan State, they're pretty good now that 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:43.360 coach is pretty good. They don't go away. And then 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.800 watching last night, it was like, okay, regulation overtime, okay, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.360 double overtime, Michigan State's not ranked, Kentucky ranked number four 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.920 in the country, and then all of a sudden, Sparty 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.440 gets the win. Michigan State not ranked, they lost to 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:04.480 Gonzaga by one, and then you beat Kentucky. I guess 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:09.160 file it away of oh yeah, Michigan State because I 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.040 don't know if they have a good team. It always 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:15.520 feels like tom Izzo gets two, three and four star recruits. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.360 He didn't get five stars. He was in on Emani 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.799 Bates because he was supposed to be the guy. And 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.320 we'll see if that ever happens with him who went 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.480 to Memphis. I think he's now at Eastern Michigan. But 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.240 tom Izzo just sort of gets those guys that fall 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.239 between the cracks there and last night picking up a 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.760 win against Kentucky. It's fun. A lot of times we 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.280 forget what happens at the beginning of the year. When 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.919 you start to look at a team, you're looking at 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.079 how they play at the end of the year. I'm 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.280 just going to remember this that they went toe to 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.280 toe with Gonzaga and they beat Kentucky. No matter how 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.120 good they are at the end of the year, you 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.840 have to file that away. And when it comes to coaching, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.600 Tom Izzo's on the short list of coach you don't 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.640 want to phase. Come March Madness. All right, Seeton, you 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.079 got a pull question for me today? Alrighty, who gets 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.240 into the college football playoff an undefeated TCU or a 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:15.440 one lost Tennessee. I'm gonna say a one lost tennis thing. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:24.280 I mean, okay, TCU has Baylor coming up this weekend, 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.040 and what are they a two and a half point 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:30.079 favorite here? They were an underdog against Texas. They did 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.200 beat Texas, shaky. It's weird how Vegas doesn't you know, 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.240 they don't have any favoritism here. They just look at 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.080 what's the game going to be? How's this going to 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.600 play out. TCU favored by two and a half, and 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:48.080 that's at Baylor. College football has a way of sorting 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.000 itself out where you go, wow, do they want that 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.400 team in there? I don't think they want TCU in there. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.440 Great story, done, well done, everything that you want. We 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.480 love an dog in college football. You like an underdog 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.840 for a little while. It's like March Madness, Oh Man, 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.000 George Mason, They're awesome, Butler, we love them, and then 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.160 you go, yeah, but we don't want them to play 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.240 for a national title. We want the blue bloods to 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.320 come in. That's sort of the way we are with 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.440 college football. When we go to twelve teams, then you're 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.360 going to have one or two of those outliers. Cincinnati 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.240 I thought belonged in the Final four. They had a 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.359 ton of talent, some of that talent on display in 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.839 the NFL, and I thought that they were a quality team. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:40.159 I go back a couple of years Connecticut. Connecticut was 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.120 playing in a bowl game, probably not worthy of that 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.640 bowl game. Hawaii was in a bowl game. A big bull, 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.840 you know, And there's certain times where you see a 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.920 school rewarded, but you know it's not going to be 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.800 pretty and I don't know how good TCU is other 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.839 than they've done exactly what we want them to do. Win. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.640 No matter who it's against. You win, you play poorly, 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.640 you still win. That's what we want. Tennessee to me, 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.000 would be a better team. And they look at TV ratings. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:16.480 Once again, it's a TV show. They want. They want 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.720 you to have a lot of people watching this. They 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.520 want people. They want a fan base that travels. You 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.400 want to have the stands packed. Maybe TCU brings a 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.440 great crowd. I know Tennessee will, but I would say 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.280 a one lost Tennessee over TCU. If TCU goes undefeated, 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.400 probably so. Yes, Mark, if the quarterback from TCU was 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.600 at Tennessee or Georgia, would he be getting more love 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:48.599 for the Heisman if he's at Georgia. Yes, yes, absolutely. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.680 But those are great numbers. But you start to look 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.200 at college football, it's hard to not have great numbers. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:01.000 If you're a good quarterback, maybe a very good quarterback, 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.080 you're gonna have fun. I don't know, thirty four touchdowns, 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:09.440 three interceptions. Just the way the game is now, offense 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.520 is so far ahead of the defense, certainly when it 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.040 comes to college that you know, you're not going to 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.280 have that parody that you have in the NFL. But 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.560 you know, Hendon Hooker has been awesome. It's just is 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.600 that going to be enough to win the Heisman Trophy? 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.599 Because CJ. Stroud whence the last time you go, God, 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.160 did you watch him play? We haven't had one of 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.720 those moments yet, have we we have with Hendon Hooker, 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.080 And that's an offense that's going to continue to pile 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.360 on points because they want to get style points here. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.960 They want you to notice, oh my god, they put 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.720 up sixty two. Yeah. More. Should any of the wide 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.560 receivers from Ohio State be getting more love for the 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.160 Heisman because that's what it seems like like justin fields. Look, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.680 you had some NFL level wide receiver. You got too 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:56.480 many receivers. I mean, I guess you have to fall 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.839 back and give it to the quarterback. And CJ. Stroud 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.719 is a great quarterback, but I don't know if he's 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.440 had that moment yet. And that's why I said Caleb 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.760 Williams at USC I would keep an eye on because 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.280 you've got in UCLA Notre Dame and then you'll have 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.040 the Pac twelve title game. That's a chance to showcase. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.320 And if you continue to win and you have only 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:23.280 one loss, there could they sleep at us sneak in there? Yeah. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.760 I think a couple of things hurt TCU. Like they're 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.560 not this cute, fuzzy little football team that came from nowhere. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.960 The past twenty five years they've been in the Fiesta 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.480 Bowl and as a while back, they've been in the 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.960 Rose Bowl. They usually win ten games. The past three 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.120 or four years have been down with Gary Patterson. Yeah, 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.360 Sunny Dinks took over, but they're ten to Oh, but 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.520 they're not some come from nowhere program that's like Cincinnati 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.320 was more come from nowhere last year. They're known as 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.000 a basketball school. And the other thing I think it 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.320 hurts TCU is the Big twelve is a little bit 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.280 down perception. Well, we don't know who's in the Big 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.239 twelve anymore. Yeah, the two heavyweight to leaving. It's like, wait, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.200 is Texas? Are they still in the Big twelve now? 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.960 They're gonna be in the SEC next year? We're not 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.720 quite sure. By the way. This program brought to you 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.120 by Panini America. Our stat of the day is always 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.040 the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Autograph calendars. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:17.360 Are they sold out Seaton? Oh man, that didn't last long? No, No, 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.240 that didn't. I think we had over five hundred of 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:26.800 those autograph calendars. Are they're being had? No? Okay, there's 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:33.360 still some great holiday items there. Um a gorgeous tailgate blanket. 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.680 We got holiday candles, we got World Cup T shirt. 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.439 We do We've thought of everything here. Who's got a bit? 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.080 Oh no, that's Friday. We do that Friday. He can 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.280 do that every day. Yeah, and we can't. We should, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.440 we should, we should do that. Who has it better 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:53.800 than we do? No? No, nobody. Mmmmmm. This program brought 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.959 to you by Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The mission is 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.880 to do good and honor America's heroes. Great people. Donate 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.439 eleven dollars a month or T twot dot org the 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.400 letter T the number two letter T dot org. Yes, Paul, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.600 quick thing with the World Cup. I've heard now over 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.959 the past decade, four different pronunciations for the I heard 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.319 Qatar cutter, cutter or ten years ago was the standard. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.000 We all said cutter as Qatar. Then I heard Qatar 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.280 on a rights holder on a station that has the 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.320 rights to the World Cup. So you think they would 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.200 know the name of the country that we're going to. Okay, 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.559 so when we should play how did you pronounce the 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.640 World Cup host country game? Sometime maybe not today, but 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.040 maybe do some research. Let's go to our World Cup 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.679 expert seat Neal counter. Yes, I think that I'm going 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.839 to play in a pronunciation expert right now, just to 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.520 throw it out there, but I think that Cutter is correct. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.679 It's almost. But to say Qatar is like if you 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.080 said like nikodagwa, it's it's it's right, but you don't 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:55.640 need to say it that way. Maybe it don't speak 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.800 that way. Maybe it's right over there, like if you 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.200 see you say Florence Italy here, but it's for your 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.880 enza if you live in it. Oh yeah, like Treno 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:08.160 is Turin and it's Venezia instead of Venice. Right, Yes, okay, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:14.679 mar Marvan yes, sorry, yes, mar Is that almost like, uh, 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.800 can I have mozzarella? Can I mozzarella? This is a 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:25.000 subway relaxed. I went out for a birthday party and 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:30.400 they ordered uh Calamari and and I just hunt habit 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.760 went now klamar. They look at me like what are 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:39.240 you doing? I go never, never mind, Patrick Calamari that 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.199 those jokes do not go over my house, especially with 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.320 the Italians. Oh, they do not go over well. Yeah. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.439 My wife she's like, don't do that, and I go 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.000 but that do you see that show Stanley Tucci has, 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.840 Stanley Tucci's Italy or whatever. Yeah, he had something really smart. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.280 I think my mom was just telling me about this 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.959 that he said, if you want to understand Italy, you 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.360 have to start at the dinner table and then work 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.960 your way out. And that's really the heart of Italian culture. 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.240 So that's why our jokes about it kind of bad. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.120 They don't go over well because it's very serious. It's 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.480 very insulting. I mean, we can still do them. I'm 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.679 just saying though, that, you know, the Irish getting made 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.120 fun of all the time. Yeah, we don't care, and 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.920 we're okay with it. We don't care. What's fine. Oh yeah, 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.679 you guys are just drunk. No, not all the time. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.480 People make fun of us, even when we say you 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:34.320 can make fun of us. Yes, that's we're just resilient. Yeah, 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.440 we're just a resilient people. Yeah, we're just fun loving people. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.480 At the drop of a hat and then we could 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.199 punch your right in the face and it is tough 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.679 though that like all of those things that you're just 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.360 mentioning are mostly true.

Is that 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:55.839 that's what the colors are meeting next? Oh yeah, yeah, 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.720 there's a chance that we could cry or we could 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.120 punch in the face, all in the span of sixty seconds. Yes. Point. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.280 So I've got at least five different pronunciations that are acceptable. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:13.559 Cutter Qatar Qatar, but the oh Man Qatar Airlines pronounces 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.120 it catar like almost like a cat. I like Qatar 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.000 because then a guitar hero yeah, while my Qatar gently weaves. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:27.920 Yeah yeah blop. Andy Staples, who covers college football.

He'll join us coming up as well 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.720 a little bit later on scoring down in the NFL, 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.160 passing down in the NFL, running is up? What the 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.600 heck is going on with the NFL? A lot? Justin field? 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.719 What is that voice now? I don't know, just my 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.960 my crappy joke I do. It's my dog's voice. It's 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.600 one of my dogs, Mango speaks like that, at least 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.280 in my head. But then I've just turned it into 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.120 my Dan Patrick's show, crappy joke guy, and give me 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:10.480 that voice again Justin Fields. Yes, it's like Fritzy has 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.120 that annoying callerbo oh, I'll just hand o pe Lucy. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:14.640 I don't know why if Fritzy does that voice for 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.719 his like when I call her, he is saying, oh, 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.400 you should have a Tennessee should always be in. Say 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.800 if I had said, hey, thanks a lot, Justin Fields, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.600 that's not a very funny joke. But if you kind 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:31.600 of it, I'm just gonna hang up and listening to Okay, 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.319 all right, all right? Is that the poll question we're 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:40.360 going with? Who gets in undefeated TCU or one last Tennessee? Heck? Yeah, 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.200 all right? And it's not who should, but who will? 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.520 Because I think that's that's different. There are times when 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.199 we've gone that team not going to stay in the 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.160 top four, Why they're just not. I just wrote it 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.520 as who gets into the college football playoffs? No? Shoot, 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.839 or would just does? Okay, that's fine.

No, that's a great 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.200 T shirt. Inventories low, morale is high. But that's a 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.320 good thing, though, But we've run out, run out. Yeah, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.080 we don't have the T shirts. We'd run out of 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.960 the T shirts. Therefore, morales high, inventories low, but you 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.240 can't buy it. Good problems to have. It seems like, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.880 let's take a break.

Coming up. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.320 By the way, the odds to win the national championship 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:09.920 in college basketball number one on the list. Anybody want 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:14.160 to guess the favorite to win the national title this year? 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:22.240 Marvin North Carolina, no Kansas, no Todd Za, no Paul. 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:27.200 I was gonna go one of those three Houston Town 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:32.880 two town, all right, I don't know if they deserve 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.640 a round of applaud as we could work in Hughtown. Hughtown. 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:43.920 Then it's Kentucky, Gonzaga, North Carolina, Kansas, Michigan, Michigan State, Auburn, 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.120 long odds there, Yes, Paul, know, if Houston basketball makes 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:48.640 the final four, you think it'd be like almost like 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.920 a reunion for all their people, even their former cheerleaders. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.800 You know, so I would assume, oh, we would go 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.960 back since Seaton. Remember we served as cheerleaders. I think 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.880 ESPN two game versus Tackle Fall, I've never seen you 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.520 more in your element. As a matter of fact, you 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.119 were like a flower that just boomed on that. I 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:09.160 thought it was gonna be embarrassing for them. Punishment, yes 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:13.160 I did. The Danats lost. What was the best? It's 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.639 some group that going into Super Bowl week and our 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.680 punishment was we had to be male cheerleaders, which the 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.280 cheerleader part was easy part, the male part was difficult 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.680 for you at the Universe Houston game, and the current 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.040 cheerleaders were not really fond of us. They were not 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.480 those girls looked at you, guys like you're ruining are 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.320 not that there was a bunch of dudes that we 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.200 were getting the side I from two who was like, 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.320 you know, this is not a joke and it's Houston 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.320 against UCFA and Taco falls. Who is out there? Yeah, 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.480 it looked like there were about five hundred people watching 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.320 the game, and the Danats came running out. They had 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.080 their megaphones, they have their outfits on. Oh my god, 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.760 who was carrying the flag? We all got the flag. 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.440 I came out first. And the funny thing was we 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.639 got a hold of a producer ESPN and they opened 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.080 the ESPN two broadcasts of the game with us running 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:08.840 on the tunnel. They led with it, I've never been 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.399 prouder or more embarrassed at the same time, and then 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.920 I realized that you guys were enjoying yourself. I'm like, 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:20.960 oh my god, god, I just want I wanted to 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:25.399 make sure nobody pulled a ground banging on that con me. 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.720 I'd like to have a cone to yell through. Give 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.040 you a traffic cone. Yes, boy. You have to remember, 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.000 being that close to cheerleaders was not often. That didn't 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.720 happen often for us, so we should have been mail cheered. 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.000 Twenty five years ago, Andy Staples covers college football for 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.080 The Athletic. He's the host of the Andy Staples Show. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.639 He joins us on the program. Andy, thanks for joining us. 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:54.719 Assess the current rankings and could any do you expect 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.960 anything to happen this weekend that could change the top four? 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.639 Potential sannigans this week and potential shenanigans because USC UCLA 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.920 feels like a very close game, Vegas think it's gonna 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:07.639 be a close game. It's I think USC's a one 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.240 and a half point favorite. Neither defense looks capable of 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.520 stopping either offense, so I think it's gonna be fun. 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:20.359 And then TCU playing Baylor in Waco. Baylor very up 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.239 and down over the last few weeks. Like you, if 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.800 you get good Baylor and good Blake Shape in their quarterback, 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.200 this is gonna be a really tight game. If you 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.560 get the Baylor team that played k State last week, 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.320 TCU is gonna roll. And so that's an interesting one 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:39.000 because you know, we could see those two teams being 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.480 a very different place next week. Because USC obviously that 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.760 they lose, they would be out of playoff contention. I'm 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.399 still not convinced TCU would be out. I think a 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.400 twelve and one Big twelve Camp TCU. Given how deep 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.359 the Big twelve was and how there's really no weeks 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.360 off in that league, I think they have to get 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.320 some consideration now if they're thirteen and oh, they're in 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.280 and this is one of their toughest challenges left. So 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.680 we'll see what happens. No, if I said Tennessee has 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:07.879 one loss to end the regular season and TCUs undefeated season, 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.680 no choice, it would, but it wouldn't be a choice 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.920 between those two, I don't think. I think then you're 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.639 talking about Tennessee versus maybe a twelve and one USC 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.160 Pack twelve champ or the loser of the Ohio State 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.040 Michigan game, And I think that then it's a little 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.960 bit different. But I think, well, let's look at those scenarios. 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.600 If I said I got a one loss USC team 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.479 and a one lost Tennessee team, who who would Who 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.880 do you think the playoff committee would take? They're gonna 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.960 take Tennessee, and everybody's gonna tell you they're gonna take USC. 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:41.720 I'm telling you right now, because they would take Tennessee 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.160 in that situation because they always have taken that particular 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.320 type of team in that situation because at the way 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.560 they boil it down at the end, they like good wins, 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.560 and Tennessee would have a couple of great wins. They'd 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.000 have the LSU win in Baton Rouge where they won 0:20:56.119 --> 0:21:00.840 forty to thirteen. They're winning itast Alabama. US would have 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.280 the wins that they would be getting over the next 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:07.119 three weeks UCLA, Notre Dame, and then probably Organ or 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.320 Utah in the tactful championship game, and those you know, 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:14.000 those are good sets of good wins in both cases. 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.600 But then when they get to that point they say 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.960 they're supposed to break the tie with conference champion or not. 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.639 They never do that. They've never done that in the past. 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:24.960 When they do it for the first time, it will 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.040 be the first time. What they do is they decide 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.119 who's a better team, who they think would win if 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.720 they played. And like, if you ask a guy in 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.080 Vegas right now, if you said, what is the line 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.680 on a neutral site Tennessee USC game Tennessee by seven 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.800 and a half or eight, So they'll pick Tennessee. They said, 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.320 I've had this idea over the past few years, like 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:47.359 if you have to decide between four and five, I 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.080 think the committee should be allowed to kidnap the head 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.159 coach of the number one team, like roll up in 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.800 a window this van, grab Kirby Smart Nathens, put a 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:56.919 bag over his head, bring him to an undisclosed location, 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.400 you shoot him up with truthstrom And in this case, 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:03.200 you go Herby, who do you want Tennessee or USC 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:05.840 Who would you rather play? And he'll go, give me 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.280 the Trojans and you go, okay, you get the Valls. 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:13.720 That would be good TV Andy by the way, Magnets 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:17.680 get on there. Yes, Okay. If I said a one 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:22.440 lost Tennessee team against the one loss either Ohio State 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.520 or Michigan team, uhha. Now if you have my Kirby 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:31.080 Smart kidnaps scenario and the and and Ohio State is 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:34.040 the team that has has narrowly lost the Michigan Ohio 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:38.320 State game, Kirby might say it give me the Valls. Wow. 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.520 So that that's the interesting I think Ohio State has 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:45.200 a better chance of getting in if they lose that 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.680 game than Michigan does if they lose that game. Because 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.280
