Speaker 1: know the date of Hanakah. Now I don't know the
Speaker 1: dates either, but it changes. It changes. You act like
Speaker 1: it's Christmas. We're like, oh it's Aaron still does not
Speaker 1: know the da Because I just said I'm gonna be honest. Yeah,

Speaker 1: brain and forgetting fatigue all that. So get off my back, Brown,
Speaker 1: I'm just a little seeperpride over here. Uh hanaka starting
Speaker 1: soon though, I believe, and and you know I have
Speaker 1: to go this weekend. I have the FCS Championship Semifinals,
Speaker 1: in which I don't know how many times I'll be
Speaker 1: able to say that without sluring my words. And I
Speaker 1: think it's incarnate. I think it's incarnate word. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's eight. I think it's incarnate word. I live.
Speaker 1: I'm not Catholic. I live in a lot of I
Speaker 1: live a lot around a lot of Catholics. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's incarnate word. I don't know incarnate word verse
Speaker 1: North Dakota State high of eighteen, low of ten game date.
Speaker 1: But we're in the dome, we're in the fog, so
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. Ten. It's eighty degrees. Two days after
Speaker 1: I leave, it gets into the negative. So luckily it's
Speaker 1: on Friday and not like Sunday. Because it's like negative two.
Speaker 1: I believe starting Sunday Monday of next week, I'm there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, wait, yes I meant them. So if you
Speaker 1: if you are watching, or if you're calling incarnate word,
Speaker 1: you will be calling a former l s U quarterback
Speaker 1: Lindsay Scott, Lindsay Scott Jr. Have you seen his numbers
Speaker 1: this year? This one viral a bit over the weekend Georgia.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but Lindsay Scott used to be
Speaker 1: at LSU. He could have beat out Danny at Lyne.
Speaker 1: He's somehow still in college, which you don't fully understand.
Speaker 1: He's like Stetson in that way. Lindsay Scott this year
Speaker 1: completed seventy one and a half percent of his passes
Speaker 1: for forty three yards a ten or fifty nine touchdowns
Speaker 1: to six picks for Lindsay Scott hitting Joe Burrow numbers
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow through sixty in a season. Lindsay Scott's gonna
Speaker 1: throw more than that after this week. And alright, let's
Speaker 1: go in carnate word, big incarnate word guy right here.
Speaker 1: I had him from the beginning. I told you to
Speaker 1: play him on Best Bets. You should have listened to me.
Speaker 1: None of you all are actually gonna go check to
Speaker 1: see if I said that, So I can just see
Speaker 1: that and assume some lines for the FCS semifinals this weekend.
Speaker 1: Are we gonna Are we gonna do that? When are
Speaker 1: you going to have that? Bargo? I'm going to Fargo
Speaker 1: Friday night. Friday night, baby, seven o'clock kickoff, only game
Speaker 1: in town, so you will be gone on Thursday. I
Speaker 1: leave Thursday night, gott. I was going about to give
Speaker 1: you a lot of ship if you did not tell
Speaker 1: me you were missing a show. No no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I mean like, it's seven thirty Thursday night. Get in
Speaker 1: at midnight so I can do the show and then
Speaker 1: we'll fly back first thing Saturday morning. If there's one
Speaker 1: thing that we have learned here, it's that Aaron Murray
Speaker 1: does not shark work. He literally called a football game
Speaker 1: two days after Thanksgiving, two days after the birth of
Speaker 1: a brand new child. My wife would have had my
Speaker 1: nuts handed to me on a silver platter. Right. Who
Speaker 1: was it that gave the king one time in the
Speaker 1: Bible like somebody's head on a silver pad platter? He
Speaker 1: was like Paul's headers. I don't know, but the point is,
Speaker 1: I would have been a dead man, okay. But Aaron
Speaker 1: Murray's all about putting in that work each and every
Speaker 1: day here on snaps. That's why you should subscribe to
Speaker 1: the pod, so I should share with your friends. That's
Speaker 1: why if you're watching on YouTube, you should hit the
Speaker 1: like button, share that with your friends and help us
Speaker 1: grow this wonderful college football community. Um, all right, do
Speaker 1: we want to go ahead and dive in Aaron are
Speaker 1: redone with a little playful four play here, yeah, four
Speaker 1: plays over with We're lubricated. Let's make it happen. Let's
Speaker 1: dive right inside of Caleb Williams and Patrick Mahomes as
Speaker 1: there's been a cop going around town lately, and it's
Speaker 1: kind of a larger question about just how good Caleb
Speaker 1: Williams can be. But a lot of people are calling
Speaker 1: in Patrick Mahomes. We will get into why Aaron can
Speaker 1: really explain why even obviously even better than I can.
Speaker 1: But here's a quote that Caleb Williams had to say.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of being compared to Patrick momames Is quote.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool, I'd say, just because everybody watches Patrick
Speaker 1: and sees all the cool things he can do. I
Speaker 1: always said, even in high school, and look, obviously he's special,
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's anything I can't do that
Speaker 1: he's doing out there. I think it's really cool. Like
Speaker 1: I said, I've had comparison to a bunch of other people,
Speaker 1: and since I have, Patrick is pretty cool. So Caleb
Speaker 1: basically telling you, yeah, look, it's awesome to be compared
Speaker 1: to Patrick Mahomes. But you know, I've kind of grown
Speaker 1: up playing in this same way. I think I can
Speaker 1: do everything that he's doing. I don't think it's as
Speaker 1: special necessarily as you think it is. And I'll get
Speaker 1: into why I think that's important, But first off, Aaron,
Speaker 1: is it ridiculous or too much to call Caleb Williams
Speaker 1: the next Pat Mahomes. I don't think it is either.
Speaker 1: I know, I know a lot of people get go
Speaker 1: crazy with I will never compare another player because he's
Speaker 1: his own player and he's his own person. Yes he is.
Speaker 1: We get that he is his own person. He's a
Speaker 1: completely different DNA. He is Caleb Williams, he is Patrick Homes,
Speaker 1: two different people. But there is nothing wrong with watching
Speaker 1: both their tapes and saying I wonder he kind of
Speaker 1: reminds me of this guy who right now is the
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the NFL. The things that he does
Speaker 1: extremely well, And I have nothing I have no issue
Speaker 1: was saying someone reminds you of someone else. I think
Speaker 1: it's obviously for for Kaylee Williams, it's a huge compliment.
Speaker 1: You you remind a lot of people, Like I said,
Speaker 1: the best quarterback right now on the planet in Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: So it's the it's the evolution of the position at
Speaker 1: the end of that. That is what it is. You know,
Speaker 1: what we've seen from quarterbacks over you know, especially in
Speaker 1: the past. I would say over the past ten years,
Speaker 1: from guys like Patrick Mahomes to to Baker, to Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray to la Mare Jackson, to look at Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: there at Philadelphia right now, right now, looks like he's
Speaker 1: gonna be the m v P of the NFL this season.
Speaker 1: I thought coming out of college football is like, there's
Speaker 1: no way that guy can even throw a football. Like,
Speaker 1: I would never I would never take a chance on him.
Speaker 1: He can't complete balls down the field. But he's a
Speaker 1: hard worker. He has a lot of great intangibles. He's
Speaker 1: a hell of an athlete, and when you're that type
Speaker 1: of athlete, that type of runner you're They get your
Speaker 1: one on one opportunities on the outside to make play.
Speaker 1: So bringing that all back to Caleb Williams, what makes
Speaker 1: him so similar to Patrick Mahomes. It's the freelance, it's
Speaker 1: the creativity. It's it's it's it's it's artwork. It really is.
Speaker 1: The quarterback position has to have a sense of Picasso
Speaker 1: on it, the special ones do. You're not a robot.
Speaker 1: You're not just a five step, three step throw the
Speaker 1: football type guy, which those guys can obviously do. It's
Speaker 1: when things get ugly and nasty, how do you change
Speaker 1: the picture, whether it's with your legs or with your arm,
Speaker 1: to be creative for your football team. And and and
Speaker 1: for those who watch yesterday when Patrick Mahomes and his
Speaker 1: ability to get outside the pocket and do a little
Speaker 1: dump pash like my goodness, like can any how, how
Speaker 1: backyard football amazing? Is that? That is what Kadle Belliams does.
Speaker 1: Changing the arm angles, getting out of pressures, extending place,
Speaker 1: putting the pressure on the defense to have the guard
Speaker 1: receivers for five, six, seven seconds. That is the name
Speaker 1: of the game nowadays. If you don't have a quarterback
Speaker 1: like Patrick Mahomes, like Jalen like Lamar, like Josh Allen
Speaker 1: there in Buffalo, like Caleb Williams. You're going to struggle
Speaker 1: or you're not gonna like Andy like like guys well
Speaker 1: like Andy Dalton. You left Andy Dalton st sting quarterback
Speaker 1: and yeah, uh no, look you're you're, you're Your point
Speaker 1: is very well made, Aaron. And I think when people
Speaker 1: get upset by comparisons, like by comps, I think the
Speaker 1: problem with comps only become bad analysis if you say
Speaker 1: Caleb Wims like Patrick Mahomes and then you leave it
Speaker 1: alone and you add no further context. Uh, that's bad analysis. Comps, though,
Speaker 1: have their use, and it is to provide a framework.
Speaker 1: And there could be no doubt that Patrick Mahomes has created, uh,
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, a kind of new style
Speaker 1: of playing that position. Now it's not holy new, and
Speaker 1: sure you're gonna have all sorts of people like uh
Speaker 1: tell me like you know, Brett Farr guns singer clips
Speaker 1: like cutting and and and yes and on on on
Speaker 1: a grand scale, Um, Mahomes is grabbing, you know, from
Speaker 1: different elements and different players and different eras that. But
Speaker 1: but it all comes together and the new whole is
Speaker 1: great into some of his parts, and it's kind of
Speaker 1: a new way of playing this quarterback just I mean
Speaker 1: habits like these, weird ar mangles like these, like throwing
Speaker 1: across your body, throwing across your face, don't look passes.
Speaker 1: All of these things that would have made coaches shutter
Speaker 1: just a little while ago are now being um applauded
Speaker 1: and even incourage if you can do it. And obviously,
Speaker 1: this entire conversation comes to the baseline, if you are
Speaker 1: skilled physically enough to be able to make these plays,
Speaker 1: and that's for Kyla Williams gets interesting because he is
Speaker 1: physically skilled enough to make these plays. And in terms
Speaker 1: of him being the next Patrick Mahomes physically, he may
Speaker 1: have an even better base skill set. I mean, he
Speaker 1: has much more hype than Patrick Mahomes. The coming out
Speaker 1: of college, nobody really quite knew what Patrick Mahomes was
Speaker 1: going to be except for a couple of people. I
Speaker 1: know Sean Payne had fallen in love with him. Of
Speaker 1: the draft process, he was gonna take him, Matt and
Speaker 1: Age had There's a fascinating um on the New Heights podcasts.
Speaker 1: The Kelsey Brothers podcast Mahomes told a great story about
Speaker 1: how Matt Naggy basically gave him all the answers. The
Speaker 1: night before his interview with the Chiefs, I gave him
Speaker 1: the plays Andy Reid was gonna ask him to draw
Speaker 1: up uh so so that he could impress read until
Speaker 1: they get up. Like some people saw his potential, but
Speaker 1: nobody expected Petri Mahomes to do as good as he
Speaker 1: did in the way that we expect CAYLEB Williams. And
Speaker 1: I think that the reason for that is because Pat
Speaker 1: Mahomes is kind of like the Roger Banister in this
Speaker 1: case where Roger Bannister was the first person to running
Speaker 1: a sub four minute mile and ampus at five in
Speaker 1: the miles a sub four minute mile, he proved that
Speaker 1: human beings could do it. After the nine years of
Speaker 1: that record not being advanced, and then with the two
Speaker 1: and a half years uh ten, other runners had to
Speaker 1: come up with sub four minute mouts. In that same way,
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes had to get out there improve that you
Speaker 1: can win with this kind of wild new age mobile
Speaker 1: gunslinger sort of style. And then if you're one of
Speaker 1: these coaches, if you have a guy that can do
Speaker 1: that instead of ironing that out instead of that beating
Speaker 1: out of in Patrick Mahomes, and his success has empowered
Speaker 1: you to then encourage that in your guy. And so
Speaker 1: now that allows Caleb Williams to potentially rise to even
Speaker 1: greater heights, because, like Caleb Williams says, he's like even
Speaker 1: in high school when I was watching him and that thing,
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams was in high school and Pat Moomes started
Speaker 1: doing this, right, So this is someone in Caleb Williams,
Speaker 1: who has been brought up in this environment. So he's
Speaker 1: literally been raised with this style of play being right
Speaker 1: in front of his face. Patrick Mahomes in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways just kind of having to make this up
Speaker 1: as he goes along. But I think A Bard's nailed
Speaker 1: it in the chat, like he has the potential to
Speaker 1: be the next Patrick Mahomes, but A bars Levin says
Speaker 1: he'll only be the next Pat Mahomes if he's drafted
Speaker 1: by the next Andy Reid, and that you just don't know,
Speaker 1: because Mahomes did fall into a bit of a perfect
Speaker 1: storm situation where you have Andy Reid, you had Alex
Speaker 1: Smith to learn from, you had Travis Kelsey at Tyree
Speaker 1: Kill right, like all the elements were there and he
Speaker 1: was just the final piece of the puzzle. We've seen
Speaker 1: it like look at Trevor Lwrence with Urban Meyer last
Speaker 1: year compared to Doug Peterson this year, Like we've seen
Speaker 1: a time to a tongue of a low last year,
Speaker 1: and Brian Floory is compared to him with McDaniel this year.
Speaker 1: Like setting coaching matters. So I don't know exactly if
Speaker 1: Kale wimsoever attained those heights, but I think he's capable,
Speaker 1: and I think it's fascinating to see him as one
Speaker 1: of the first products in this new age of quarterback
Speaker 1: led by like Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen. Aaron turn
Speaker 1: your Mica, did we lose Aaron? Um, I'm here the
Speaker 1: no they they're they're doing the yard outside. So I
Speaker 1: think I was literally blowing leaves outside my room. I
Speaker 1: was like, maybe she'd probably put that off mute. So
Speaker 1: we're back then, we're backint in three to one, three
Speaker 1: to one, Hey, Yes, I think since auation T Bob
Speaker 1: does matter a ton when it comes to where you
Speaker 1: can draft me, like like, that's why it's not always
Speaker 1: great to be in the first few rounds and you
Speaker 1: I think you brought a good point with Alex Smith.
Speaker 1: So I remember, you know, I got drafted by Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I can hit on this whole mentorship for Alex Smith.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Patrick Mahomes obviously didn't work out
Speaker 1: as good as for me as it did Patrick, but um,
Speaker 1: he tried his hardest. I'm just not as as talented
Speaker 1: as Patrick mahomess uh. But Alex was with I think
Speaker 1: four different O Sason head coaches his first four years
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and he was drafted young al I
Speaker 1: think it was twenty years old when he got drafted
Speaker 1: out of Utah, very very young, high expectations, first pick
Speaker 1: in the draft. This is when the you know, the
Speaker 1: salary cap was was in big favor of of if
Speaker 1: you're you know, pick the top five. Um, these guys
Speaker 1: getting crazy, crazy good contracts. And then every year it's
Speaker 1: a new offensive system, it's a new head coach, it's
Speaker 1: a new culture change, it's new players and just new phases.
Speaker 1: It's not easy to do, like there's a reason why
Speaker 1: you're getting drafted in the top five. That team sucks.
Speaker 1: So he was drafted in a good spot. He learned
Speaker 1: from Alex. He got Andy Reid, he got Tyreeki, got
Speaker 1: you know, Kelsey and and a lot of other good
Speaker 1: guys around him. That's the biggest thing. And you look
Speaker 1: at Caleb Williams this season, it's it's it's he transferred,
Speaker 1: but he transferred with his head coach. He transferred into
Speaker 1: an offense that he knows that he had a year
Speaker 1: of experience with that he had success within Oklahoma. He
Speaker 1: carried that over there to usc You bring in, you know,
Speaker 1: the defending best receiver in the country there from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: You bring in some top talent the running back position
Speaker 1: as well, you have an incredible offensive line. Big shout
Speaker 1: out to him for bringing his offense line there to
Speaker 1: the highsman ceremony in this past weekend. I thought that
Speaker 1: was really really cool. So he was in a great
Speaker 1: situation to take the step from last year to this year.
Speaker 1: And I want to go back to just the the
Speaker 1: backyard nature of playing the position of quarterback, because last
Speaker 1: year I thought he did it a little bit to
Speaker 1: the extreme at times. Last year he was a little
Speaker 1: bit too reckless, Like we all remember the play where
Speaker 1: he ripped the ball way from his teammates and end
Speaker 1: up getting the first down and they end up winning
Speaker 1: that football game because of that. Like that's amazing, Like
Speaker 1: that is legitimate, like what you do with your buddies
Speaker 1: when you're in in in sixth seventh grade in your
Speaker 1: your parents backyard. But at times last year he was
Speaker 1: trying to be too creative and trying to do too
Speaker 1: much and and there's always a fine balance. I always
Speaker 1: talk with Stetson about this too, because Stetson had a
Speaker 1: little bit of a you know, effort mentality last year
Speaker 1: at times where he went to the extremes of trying
Speaker 1: to make too many plays. There is a line of
Speaker 1: I always bringing up of being cocky and confident. Can
Speaker 1: you border that? Can you feel like you're the baddest
Speaker 1: dude on the field. You can make every throw in
Speaker 1: the field, but dude in a way where you don't
Speaker 1: put your team in danger. And I think Caleb took
Speaker 1: a massive step in that department this year, where he
Speaker 1: was protecting the football. He was picking winning one to
Speaker 1: take chances down the field, when to throw the football away,
Speaker 1: when to get down when the slide. He evolved as
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And the scary thing is he's still young.
Speaker 1: It's only a second year. What he can do on
Speaker 1: the trajectory right now. When you talk about where his
Speaker 1: ceiling is, it's it's better than what Mahomes was coming
Speaker 1: out of out of Texas our Texas Tech. It's really
Speaker 1: I think he's in a position right now that you
Speaker 1: never want to say someone say for sure, fire all
Speaker 1: pro Hall of Famer, none of that. Obviously, like I said,
Speaker 1: it has to be depending on his situation he gets
Speaker 1: drafted into. But his skill set right now today is
Speaker 1: ahead of where Patrick and Mahome was coming out of
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. And and and that is why every NFL
Speaker 1: scout and GM is saying, hey, if I don't need
Speaker 1: a quarterback this year, I ain't drafted one because if
Speaker 1: I can somehow find a way to get him next year,
Speaker 1: our franchise is going to be in a hell of
Speaker 1: a position to compete for championships. Yeah, and um, well
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's it's it's like we talked to right,
Speaker 1: this again is the natural evolution, Like he's in that
Speaker 1: better position because Pat Mahomes had to breakdown a lot
Speaker 1: of those bears. We'll see, I mean t law Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence again is like as can't miss of a prospect ever,
Speaker 1: and even he looked bad because he was in all
Speaker 1: the situation. Now that he's in a better one, he's
Speaker 1: looking pretty good, like great this last Sunday. So he's
Speaker 1: gonna need to do more consistently. But we'll see, I'll mean,
Speaker 1: I'll be mean. Now, some guys transcend, right like Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow arguably transcended and kind of dragged Cincinnati up along
Speaker 1: with him. We'll see if Caleb Williams can be that
Speaker 1: same character for wherever he ends up. Um. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: so let's put all those guys in a draft right now,
Speaker 1: because you bring you bring up Trevor Lawrence. He was
Speaker 1: a guy that you know. He he looks the park.
Speaker 1: I mean I met him when he was a senior
Speaker 1: in high school. He's six six, got the flow. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm like Sandy, I felt like a little kid sending
Speaker 1: next to Trevor Lawrence looks the part, athletic, big arm,
Speaker 1: big kid. I mean literally, if you're on if you're
Speaker 1: on Madden and you want to create a player, it's
Speaker 1: probably gonna look like Trevor Lawrence. Joe Burrow had the
Speaker 1: greatest single season in my opinion besides Cam Newton for
Speaker 1: for a college quarterback ever in the history. And obviously
Speaker 1: you're seeing what he's doing there for the Bengals, and
Speaker 1: now we're seeing what Caleb Williams is doing this year.
Speaker 1: Of those three, who would you take to lead your
Speaker 1: team if they're coming out right now? So, um, I'm
Speaker 1: probably a biased here. If you joined us on snaps
Speaker 1: the first time you t the l s New Jersey
Speaker 1: is behind me. Um, that's kind of about a daily basis.
Speaker 1: And so I watched that Burrowing firsthand. But but I
Speaker 1: also think it's I hate this because I think that
Speaker 1: we overvalue championships, especially in a team sport like football.
Speaker 1: But Burrow played in the Super Bowl. Burrow brought the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals to a Super Bowl and in fact had
Speaker 1: to go through Pat my Homes and the Chiefs to
Speaker 1: do so, and as now beating Pat Mahomes the Chief's
Speaker 1: last three times that they have played. So like, I
Speaker 1: still love the potential of te Law and he was
Speaker 1: an all the situation and he is getting better. And
Speaker 1: I love the potential of Caleb Williams. But if you're
Speaker 1: asking me, I've seen it out of Burrow, so I
Speaker 1: have to go there. Dvis and the chances, I no clue.
Speaker 1: I have no clue how Burrows doing what he's doing
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. He's doing it because well, first of his
Speaker 1: intangibles are out of trold, kind of like Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: levels of intangibles, right, just elite in terms of leadership, work, ethic, etcetera, etcetera. Um.
Speaker 1: And also then it's just timing and decision making. That's
Speaker 1: so he's created and he can he can run around
Speaker 1: a bit like Aaron talk. He's mobile as well. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Burrows not the physical freak that a Lawrence are A
Speaker 1: or Or or a Caleb Williams. But uh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying Caleb is. But but he but he
Speaker 1: scores so incredibly high on those other aspects, the competitiveness
Speaker 1: to work, ethic, butl yeah, yeah, So I would take
Speaker 1: Burrow personally, Dad, take Caleb. I think calep Is is
Speaker 1: what you want as a quarterback. Trevor at times a
Speaker 1: little bit too robotic for me. I mean, I love
Speaker 1: what he does and I think he's remember like that.
Speaker 1: There is a difference in the age to like, Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow has played a lot more football. Joe Burrow is
Speaker 1: a lot more mature than those guys, just because he's
Speaker 1: he's an older quarterback, what years old? You know, these
Speaker 1: two are probably gonna go three and done. Yeah, like stetson,
Speaker 1: you know, just that they've been around the block, they're
Speaker 1: playing with little kids. It's unfair obviously. Um So I
Speaker 1: think that that's to me. I think that's the biggest
Speaker 1: advantage of Joe Brow. He is every time you're around him,
Speaker 1: just a very, very mature human being. And this is
Speaker 1: something I said about Caleb last week. That's the one
Speaker 1: big concern for me right now is where is he
Speaker 1: maturity wise? And he's young, and he's going to continue
Speaker 1: to mature and grow and develop and all that. But like,
Speaker 1: I know you hate the fingernail thing, but I think
Speaker 1: that is a sign of a little bit immaturity. I
Speaker 1: think the way he interacts with this coaches on the
Speaker 1: field at times a little bit immature. Don't roll your eyes.
Speaker 1: That's that's a little bit of a red flag. Like
Speaker 1: he he's not perfect. I just want to I'm throwing
Speaker 1: out there, like he's not a perfect quarterback that right
Speaker 1: right now, I feel he's pretty It's pretty damn Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's the hair Like then even look at him next
Speaker 1: to the other heisman. I was shocked when I saw
Speaker 1: four of them lined up in New York, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Caleb Williams is orders of magnitude better looking
Speaker 1: than these cats. Like he's absolutely winning the award. He's
Speaker 1: better looking. He's in l a. Caleb Williams is about
Speaker 1: as close to perfect as you can come. Again in
Speaker 1: that your your entire criticism of him is a little
Speaker 1: bit of BBL and some painted fingernails. I like the figure.
Speaker 1: When we're sorry, to be clear chat when Aaron says
Speaker 1: I dislike the figure nail thing, he means I dislike
Speaker 1: the criticism of the fingernails. I fully support the painting
Speaker 1: of the discourse, if you will, yes, exactly, yes, thank you.
Speaker 1: Um He's a stud, though, I would I would take him,
Speaker 1: I think, what because I think Patrick Mahomes is the
Speaker 1: quarterback that I would want him or all right, I
Speaker 1: still think Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen are the top two
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL right now, and he's the closest
Speaker 1: thing to to one of those two between the three
Speaker 1: of him, Burrow or Lawrence. So yeah, I'd take Caleb
Speaker 1: that I think. I think, I think I think that
Speaker 1: is the ceiling, and that's a hell of a ceiling.
Speaker 1: Like he is up there, man, like he's now. It's
Speaker 1: just a question of what crappy team is going to
Speaker 1: be number one to draft him and what coaching staff
Speaker 1: is going to get their claws into him, because like
Speaker 1: you brought up like Andy Reid is one of the
Speaker 1: best minds and in all of football. I mean what
Speaker 1: he does. I mean he would literally wake up and
Speaker 1: I don't think he would actually sleep. We would get
Speaker 1: to the facility and he said he'd be like sleeping
Speaker 1: with a piece of paper like a napkin by his bed,
Speaker 1: would wake up and draw a play and then go
Speaker 1: right back to sleep. And they come up with like
Speaker 1: napkins and pieces of paper, like, hey, I thought of
Speaker 1: this last night while I was sleeping. Like the man
Speaker 1: is dreaming football seven like just non stuff. He is
Speaker 1: a easter And that's what Patrick Mahomes got drafted into.
Speaker 1: Like you can't tell me that that a quarterback is
Speaker 1: going to get drafted into that perfect situation ever again,
Speaker 1: Like it's just not gonna happen. No, he's Mormon, right,
Speaker 1: he has no vices. When you have no vices and
Speaker 1: you're not distracting yourself with beer and whiskey and porn hub.
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, all you're doing is football, and
Speaker 1: you become incredible at it. Imagine that. Um, all right,
Speaker 1: let's move on to a little p hub, I mean
Speaker 1: Prime Hub, because Dion prime time back in the news
Speaker 1: man as Colorado already paying immediate dividends here as Dion
Speaker 1: over the weekend gets a commitment from the number eight
Speaker 1: and excuse me, flips a commitment from Notre Dame for
Speaker 1: the number eight ranked running back in the country at
Speaker 1: ESPN Top three hundred cat. This guy's Dylan Edwards. He's
Speaker 1: a five eight running back. He was committed to Kansas State,
Speaker 1: which look, all I'm saying is if I'm a five
Speaker 1: eight running back, probably going to Kansas State, pull whatever.
Speaker 1: That's either here nor there. He flips from Kansas State
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame, and now he flips immediately to Colorado.
Speaker 1: In the quote is the interesting part, So quote, I
Speaker 1: know a lot of guys are about to come here.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys that are about to
Speaker 1: flip their commitments. They're all big power five guys and
Speaker 1: lots of offers, guys that are four and five stars.
Speaker 1: Nobody is safe in this situation recruiting wives coach Dion's
Speaker 1: plan here is worth coming to look at, and recruits
Speaker 1: are going to want to do that. Uh do you agree?
Speaker 1: Is do you think Dion at Colorado represented danger to
Speaker 1: like a couple of Georgia four or five stars or
Speaker 1: l s U four or five or Alabama? Like? Can
Speaker 1: he actually represent a potential threat at Colorado? In year
Speaker 1: number one? He was a threat at an HBCU. Last
Speaker 1: year he took the number one recruiting the nation away
Speaker 1: from all those schools to go to school. So yes,
Speaker 1: a threat. It's like, uh, he brought what is it
Speaker 1: Travis from the clause of Florida State in Georgia and Alabama? No,
Speaker 1: no, no no, come the Jackson State with me, and then
Speaker 1: a bunch of you know, he had a bunch of
Speaker 1: other four star guys that he got. There were top
Speaker 1: three hundred guys. So yes, he is a hundred percent
Speaker 1: danger now that he has facilities that he's in a
Speaker 1: Power five conference, that he can compete for conference championships
Speaker 1: and compete to make the playoffs. I'm not saying it's
Speaker 1: happened this year, but eventually, so yes, he has put
Speaker 1: himself in a position where he's gonna be able to
Speaker 1: build this roster. He's already remember all those that the
Speaker 1: Scott and and all these you know, four star guys
Speaker 1: he got last year, those guys get hit the portal
Speaker 1: and as soon as they win their their championship this
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon there they're gonna follow him and go to Colorado.
Speaker 1: So then all of a sudden you have four or
Speaker 1: five four stars, which is four or five more four
Speaker 1: stars that are already more than you had on the roster.
Speaker 1: So the rosters are already better. Um so, yes, he
Speaker 1: is a major major threat to all the big boys.
Speaker 1: And I think something too that's happening at the moment
Speaker 1: because of USC and their success, because the u c
Speaker 1: l A and their success in Oregon, in Washington and
Speaker 1: then the you know, the thought of the expanded playoffs,
Speaker 1: the relevance of West Coast football, I think is getting better.
Speaker 1: It's not the sc see, it's not the excitement here
Speaker 1: that we live every day in Georgia and Louisiana and
Speaker 1: Bama and the Carolina is like that's that's an extreme.
Speaker 1: But people on the West Coast, because of Caleb Williams
Speaker 1: and because of those other teams, And like I said,
Speaker 1: the expanded playoffs are now taking more recognition about college football,
Speaker 1: and so are recruits and recruiting parents. So now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, if you're a kid and you you
Speaker 1: want to say on the West Coast, you don't want
Speaker 1: to have to go across country to make mom and
Speaker 1: dad travel. And now Dion prime time Sanders is there
Speaker 1: in Colorado, you may take a trip there. So I
Speaker 1: think for him, all he needs to do is get
Speaker 1: those kids on campus. He's a hell of a recruiter,
Speaker 1: he's a hell of a motivator. He's building a tremendous, tremendous,
Speaker 1: tremendous group of coaches and a staff and a support
Speaker 1: staff around him. All he's telling kids right, telling his
Speaker 1: staff and fans, just get him to Boulder and I'll
Speaker 1: do the rest of it. And I do trust Dion.
Speaker 1: If you get them to Boulder, he's going to win
Speaker 1: a lot of those decisions from a lot of these
Speaker 1: top recrew. So, um, yeah, he's a major threat thrushing
Speaker 1: to those West Coast teams as as they're trying to
Speaker 1: build out there, and Boulder seems cool as hell in
Speaker 1: its own right. Right, and then Dion is the ultimate
Speaker 1: cool and like be beings talking about in the chat players,
Speaker 1: parents will want to meet Dion. It's almost like, if
Speaker 1: you have an offer from Dion, even if in your
Speaker 1: heart you think there's no way you're going to go there,
Speaker 1: you take the visit just to meet Coach Prime, like
Speaker 1: you take the visit just to go see what it's
Speaker 1: all about. And then within that, maybe that natural charisma,
Speaker 1: the natural flash that smile overcomes you and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you're like, wait, I'm gonna change all my plans.
Speaker 1: I think I can see myself committing here. I thought
Speaker 1: that um Zion ola head a And I apologize I
Speaker 1: might I'm pronouncing his last name wrong. I'm I'm sure
Speaker 1: could be Ala Jet It's O L O j D.
Speaker 1: He's doing the head content guys for Complex. He had
Speaker 1: a great piece on Complex dot com where, um, There's
Speaker 1: been a lot of discourse over Dion leaving Jackson State
Speaker 1: for Colorado after three years after all of his promise
Speaker 1: is of what he wanted to do with HBCUs and
Speaker 1: everything else, and and you know, some people saying he
Speaker 1: bailed on that and and he bailed in it for
Speaker 1: Colorado and it kind of cheapens the original message. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I I think it's an interesting conversation where
Speaker 1: I definitely see validity to both sides of the argument. Um.
Speaker 1: But Zion went and talked to the actual Jackson State players,
Speaker 1: right imagine that interviewed them, Okay, how do you feel
Speaker 1: about your coach now leaving for Colorado? And what's wild
Speaker 1: is nearly to a man, they were very appreciative and
Speaker 1: thankful of what Prime did for Jackson State and hbc
Speaker 1: U S and many of them basically saying also that
Speaker 1: he kept it very real that from day one they
Speaker 1: knew this wasn't a matter of if, it was a
Speaker 1: matter of win, and that in that time he was there,
Speaker 1: that he did everything he promised to do. He grew them,
Speaker 1: he put them on the map, He came out of
Speaker 1: his own pocket to pay for facilities and upgrade everything, uh,
Speaker 1: all the equipment, everything that they had. Right. So, like,
Speaker 1: while we're all talking about the guys that really matter
Speaker 1: are the ones that actually played for him, and they
Speaker 1: all are completely happy with him and what he did.
Speaker 1: And that's a huge positive sign in my opinion for
Speaker 1: what he's going to do next. And In that article,
Speaker 1: he interviews the players as well about why they chose
Speaker 1: Jackson State. And there's one cat Isaiah Bolden. He was
Speaker 1: leaving Florida State after coaching change. He was going to
Speaker 1: go to Texas A and M. He talked to coach
Speaker 1: Prime for an hour on the phone and he immediately
Speaker 1: flipped to j s U And it was the last
Speaker 1: line from Zience article that stood out to me said quote,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie to you. When the goat call
Speaker 1: your phone, why not go with him? And I think
Speaker 1: that's very representative what Dylan Edwards is saying, That's what
Speaker 1: Aaron is saying, That's what I am saying, is that he,
Speaker 1: like he told you, and like the jack State president
Speaker 1: told you, he opens doors that are closed otherwise. And
Speaker 1: once the door of opportunity is open, there have been
Speaker 1: few human beings on this planet in the game of
Speaker 1: football that are better at following through on those opportunities.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like Aaron said, if he's getting the number
Speaker 1: one recruiting the Nation of jack say, he's lutely going
Speaker 1: to be a threat at Colorado. Well, and he's he's listening.
Speaker 1: He's a proven winner as a coach too. I know
Speaker 1: it's a different league, it's not a Power five school,
Speaker 1: but winning is winning at the end a like, can
Speaker 1: you recruit the better players in your conference or your
Speaker 1: division or whatever it may be. He's proven he can
Speaker 1: do that. Can you then go develop that talent and
Speaker 1: win football games? He's proven that. I just think there's
Speaker 1: a level of credibility. Like, what if you're in Alabama
Speaker 1: and and Nick Saban tells you to do something, You're
Speaker 1: sure as hell going to do that. You're gonna try
Speaker 1: to do it at a very high level because he's
Speaker 1: proven that. Hey, if I follow directions and I do
Speaker 1: what coach Saban says, there's a good chance that I'm gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, win individual awards, will win a championship, and
Speaker 1: I have an opportunity to play at the next level.
Speaker 1: Uh you know why coach standers, Maybe you know Dion
Speaker 1: hasn't proven that necessarily, Hey, I can coach first round talent,
Speaker 1: I can get to the NFL. He's played at the
Speaker 1: highest of levels. He's one of the all time grades
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So if he's if he's been around
Speaker 1: the best of the best, he knows what it takes
Speaker 1: to play because don't get me wrong. Like all these
Speaker 1: kids love college football. I love college football. You love
Speaker 1: college football. People listening to the show love college football.
Speaker 1: The kids enjoyed, especially now that they get paid. But
Speaker 1: the goal is can I get to the NFL? Can
Speaker 1: I go make a boatload of money, retire at forty
Speaker 1: and just play golf, like that's everyone's dream. Prime has
Speaker 1: been there, done that knows what he's talking about, knows
Speaker 1: what it takes to get there, the level of credibility
Speaker 1: that he brings when he talks to these recruits. He
Speaker 1: can sit down with your mom and dad and say, hey,
Speaker 1: I played in the NFL. I played with this Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl or this Pro Bowl, this ployler, I won this championship.
Speaker 1: I know what it takes to get your son here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna develop him. I'm gonna term into the best
Speaker 1: D line, cornerback, quarterback, receiver, running back, whatever it takes
Speaker 1: to win championships and make his dreams come true. How
Speaker 1: are you going to disagree with that? Man? He's been there,
Speaker 1: done that, he knows what it takes. I think he's
Speaker 1: can absolutely kick asks there at Colorado. And and I'll say,
Speaker 1: like I said last week, shame on Albred for not
Speaker 1: giving him a chance. I still think they're gonna be,
Speaker 1: you know, regretting this decision, just a tad bit at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Yo, What up y'all? T
Speaker 1: bab beer here from you do favorite college football podcast
Speaker 1: snaps here in the Volume Sports YouTube channel. Remind you

Speaker 1: the winning starts. Okay, wake up, um. Have you ever
Speaker 1: read The Wheel of Time? Aaron? Have you ever heard
Speaker 1: of Robert George's Wheel of Time, a fantasy series? Okay,
Speaker 1: in the in in that story, they talk about some
Speaker 1: humans having a strong tavar in right, and what this
Speaker 1: is is that basically reality kind of weaves around them,
Speaker 1: almost bends to their will. It's almost like they have
Speaker 1: a magnetic pull on everything around them. I think you
Speaker 1: see this in athletes sometimes, like a Tom Brady, Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow has strong to Aaron. You see coaches with this.
Speaker 1: Dion has this. Everything he has touched in life has
Speaker 1: turned into a success. His Tavaron is incredibly strong and
Speaker 1: help prove it once again? What is this? From the chat,
Speaker 1: Joe says that the guy on the left has life
Speaker 1: looks like Tom Hanks and Castaway. Don't you talk about
Speaker 1: Aaron Murray that way? Okay, Eric just had a kid.
Speaker 1: You need to relax. Okay, my man's barely sleeping at night,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna stand here and oh yeah he said,
Speaker 1: he said left. But I thought we were doing like
Speaker 1: from our perspective, you're on my left because it's hey Joe,
Speaker 1: well that's just I do have I do my wife.
Speaker 1: My wife did look at me last night and say, um,
Speaker 1: you got a lot more salt baby. I was like,
Speaker 1: I know, there's a lot more salt making fun. You
Speaker 1: have two kids, bro, Holy smokes, little salt pepper. It
Speaker 1: looks good for TV. Though it does look good, it
Speaker 1: makes me look a little bit more, you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit more mature, a little older. So I'm all
Speaker 1: for it. I love I love salt and pepper. Um.
Speaker 1: Ideally I'll go gray at the temples, right, I would
Speaker 1: love to just go gray at the temples and look
Speaker 1: like a wise old journalist or something or or or
Speaker 1: while in TEXTI how how Jordan looked when he lost
Speaker 1: his mind and destroyed the green lantern core. But that's
Speaker 1: a that's that's a conversation um for another day. I
Speaker 1: agree with the wee's and the chat qubs. Don't get lice,
Speaker 1: that's true. I've never known a quarterback with lice. They're
Speaker 1: there to um self involved for that, right Uh they
Speaker 1: they let me look at there and look how beautiful
Speaker 1: he is. That's not that does not happened by accident.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of Mr talent. But there's also work
Speaker 1: that goes into that. That's a lot of not trying to.
Speaker 1: I try to follow a sharance uh late night skin routine,
Speaker 1: you know, keep it nice and moist and soft like
Speaker 1: a baby's butt and steep up and I will know
Speaker 1: right now. So oh, my god, it's so soft, so fresh.
Speaker 1: Uh Timothy, Oh wait, sorry, the poll closed up the
Speaker 1: chat that I wanted to get to. Uh. Timothy Perry says,
Speaker 1: So Dion has some dirt on his name and Dallas. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not nobody's saying this. Dion is perfect, right, and
Speaker 1: it's very clear that he did go through some public
Speaker 1: demons that he had to battle. But again it's a
Speaker 1: testament to his pull on reality that nobody cares and
Speaker 1: nobody ever mentions it, and it just even certainly issue
Speaker 1: for Auburn and their coaching search. Hey, that's a man
Speaker 1: of God. I need you to relax from Okay, I
Speaker 1: do like that. If you just evangelized, you can do
Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want. But whatever, that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get that conversation. Now, let's get
Speaker 1: into us. So. Look, I love Bill Connolly. He does
Speaker 1: the SMP plus. Um. We talked about Bill Connolly constantly
Speaker 1: on the show, right. I think his analytics and think
Speaker 1: of the way that he used college football is great
Speaker 1: and he always does fun list sorts of deals. Well,
Speaker 1: he came up with the does it every year he
Speaker 1: is now updated it's the top five teams of the
Speaker 1: playoff era. So he has ranked all thirty six teams
Speaker 1: that have made the college football Playoff. It starts at
Speaker 1: number thirty six with that Michigan State team, uh that
Speaker 1: snuck in uh last year, and then we get to
Speaker 1: the top five and it's, uh, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll.
Speaker 1: I'll just let's stop five and then we'll get into it.
Speaker 1: Number five on this list twenty twenty one Georgia. That's right,
Speaker 1: the twenty one Bulldogs who finally captured that championship once again.
Speaker 1: And number five and listen, Number four as it stands
Speaker 1: currently is twenty twenty two Georgia. Number three is twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen Clemson, number two twenty nineteen ls you, and number
Speaker 1: one twenty twenty Alla Obama. I've got a lot of
Speaker 1: problems with this. I love Conway. I don't know that
Speaker 1: I love this list. First off, on one, Georgia, UM, sure, right,
Speaker 1: they could be fighting for that number one spot maybe,
Speaker 1: but they have the SEC championship lost and they are
Speaker 1: the highest ranked one lost team on this list, so
Speaker 1: like immediately they are where they are because of lost. Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, let's have that before we get to the right.
Speaker 1: Like I think that's this. This is an interesting topic
Speaker 1: right here, because a lot of people obviously comparing last
Speaker 1: year's team, just living in the state, last year's seems
Speaker 1: last year's national championship team to this year's team that
Speaker 1: right now looks like they're going to win the national championship.
Speaker 1: Which team is better? Uh? And obviously he has it,
Speaker 1: as this year's team is ranked one spot ahead of
Speaker 1: of last year's national championship team. I disagree. I think
Speaker 1: if you put both those teams on the field today today,
Speaker 1: I would take the football team. Um. I think the
Speaker 1: defense is absolutely studded. I just as we know. I
Speaker 1: mean I don't have to bring up the stats. I
Speaker 1: mean guys got drafted off that defense. I think the
Speaker 1: defense is better. I think the offense actually is better.
Speaker 1: And I think, but oh, look at the points are
Speaker 1: scoring this year. I think they're better at at running back.
Speaker 1: And I think with with what James Cook brought last
Speaker 1: year from the running back position. Uh, you know, the
Speaker 1: way a d Mitchell, you know, a d U emerged
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, the way mcconky played. Obviously, Bowers was
Speaker 1: terrific last year as well. So now I don't think
Speaker 1: a ton of difference from the skill. I think the
Speaker 1: biggest difference is Stetson is playing with more confidence and
Speaker 1: that that helps. But I still think last year's team
Speaker 1: is just as talented on offense, and I think they're
Speaker 1: more talented on defense. I would take last year's team
Speaker 1: ahead of this year's team. So it's it's it's interesting,
Speaker 1: right because I agree with everything you're saying, and I
Speaker 1: think you know these George teams far better than I do,
Speaker 1: and so I think you're correct. But I also understand
Speaker 1: per this list, you have to be undefeated if you
Speaker 1: want to be in this top four, right, and so like,
Speaker 1: I agree from a theoretical standpoint of what you're saying,
Speaker 1: but that's a level of nuance, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're gonna a little bit easier, a little little
Speaker 1: eas this year. This year's schedule was yes, this year's
Speaker 1: Georgia's schedule, I mean, don't just let's go. They both
Speaker 1: would undefeated. And then which team would you rather face
Speaker 1: an SEC championship game, last year's Alabama team or this
Speaker 1: year's l s U team. It's it's a harder matchup,
Speaker 1: it's a better for four team. I care too if
Speaker 1: last year's Georgia team was facing l s U. What
Speaker 1: what was in this? I said, they would have done
Speaker 1: the same thing, if not worse. So yeah, they would
Speaker 1: have been on the field. Lets you got smacked up
Speaker 1: by Texas, ay and them. Okay, it's a testament to
Speaker 1: glue and popsicle sticks and traits over talent. Like Brian
Speaker 1: Kelly said that Elsie was in that game in the
Speaker 1: first place. So one Georgia number five, two Georgia number four.
Speaker 1: I think two Georgia. Actually, even if you would ring
Speaker 1: behind tweeny one Air and they have a golden opportunity
Speaker 1: to move up on this list because when you look
Speaker 1: ahead of them ten Clips, it was awesome. In fact,
Speaker 1: Clips was better than I really remember their fifteen and
Speaker 1: oh they ran through the playoffs being Notre Dame thirty
Speaker 1: to three and Bama forty four to sixteen seventy four
Speaker 1: to nineteen. That's a that's a fifty five point differential
Speaker 1: there in the playoffs. However, if you think back, this
Speaker 1: was also the team that barely escaped Texas and Amber
Speaker 1: the jew Boing version and had to had Chase Brice
Speaker 1: lead them on a comeback to beat Syracuse, right so
Speaker 1: they had two close calls compared to this year's Georgia's one,
Speaker 1: And when you look at this year's u g A team,
Speaker 1: Ohio State is a massive matchup. If Georgia goes and
Speaker 1: dominates that team, that's going to vault them up. And
Speaker 1: then if they go and dominate a national championship against um,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Michigan whatever, who's been perfect otherwise, Like, yes,
Speaker 1: there's a good chance that you could end up number
Speaker 1: three on this list. But as it stands down, I
Speaker 1: don't really really have too much of a problem there
Speaker 1: because Clemson team was way better even than I remember
Speaker 1: once I started to go down this kind of memory road. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that too. I agree, Like if Georgia
Speaker 1: does end up beating most like the Ohio State in Michigan,
Speaker 1: I would put them at three. I still, once again,
Speaker 1: like if we want to talk about just you know,
Speaker 1: better season, I guess you could say this year's team
Speaker 1: for Georgia at the better season because they went on
Speaker 1: a fee compared to not winning as the championship last year.
Speaker 1: So if you're going purely on that, then yes, But
Speaker 1: if I'm going on once again like a put those
Speaker 1: two teams on a on nt A football three whenever
Speaker 1: comes out. I do think last year's team would win
Speaker 1: that football game and win that matchup on the field,
Speaker 1: but just pure season wise, Yes, you moved that team
Speaker 1: ahead of Clemson there into the number three spots. Um,
Speaker 1: where I have issue and I think you have issue
Speaker 1: with two is the one in two spots. I thought
Speaker 1: that that twenty nineteen l SH team in that offense
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow and those receivers and Clyde Edwards at
Speaker 1: running back, and and and and the production that side
Speaker 1: the talent they head on defense. Yes, it didn't show
Speaker 1: at times for the first three fourth the season, but
Speaker 1: they showed up there later on. That team, to me
Speaker 1: would beat anyone on this list head to head. And
Speaker 1: that's that's how I compare my list. You put both
Speaker 1: teams on the field, who would win? I put my
Speaker 1: money on twenty nineteen l s U to take care
Speaker 1: of business verse Alabama. Yeah, I mean the way that
Speaker 1: they closed out that season, dominating Georgia, dominating Oklahoma eight B. Climpson.
Speaker 1: So again, they gave up a little more scoring than
Speaker 1: did that eighteen Clemson team, But that's a fifty two
Speaker 1: point differential out of l s U. So really the
Speaker 1: gap is the same, and a lot of that is
Speaker 1: against the same members of that Clipson team that was
Speaker 1: so incredible. Okay, let's let's talk about Let's just actually
Speaker 1: read verbatim why Connolly put twenty twenty Bama number one overall,
Speaker 1: because I think it exposes the problems. The Crimson Tide
Speaker 1: had the number one, three, and five finishers in the
Speaker 1: Heisman voting. They played one game decided by few of
Speaker 1: them fourteen points. They bested inn SEC only schedule by
Speaker 1: an average of thirty point two points per game that
Speaker 1: even struggled early, but allowed only fifteen per game after
Speaker 1: mid October. This was Nick Saban's best team ever and
Speaker 1: quite possibly the best team in the twenty first century.
Speaker 1: Best team from the best coach with the best dynasty
Speaker 1: sounds like the best team of the CFP era. Two
Speaker 1: problems of this first off, One, it completely ignores the
Speaker 1: elephant in the room covid Right. It was a completely
Speaker 1: different year than any we have ever seen, and there
Speaker 1: was no doubt that Nick Saban handled it better than
Speaker 1: nearly anybody else. And while that is a huge credit
Speaker 1: to Saban in company and also kind of works against
Speaker 1: them in my mind in this conversation, because when you
Speaker 1: look at it, having the first, third, and fifth Heisman
Speaker 1: finalist on one team, that is an absurd out liar,
Speaker 1: right Like, if it had happened in a normal year,
Speaker 1: I would have said, this is like the best thing
Speaker 1: you have. The problem is it happened that outlier happened,
Speaker 1: and the biggest outlier year of all time. And so
Speaker 1: that concentration and that correlation tells me that this was
Speaker 1: more about how Nick Saban handled COVID relative to his opponents. Also,
Speaker 1: look at bama struggles on the road the last couple
Speaker 1: of years and then understand that road teams didn't really
Speaker 1: exist that year. My second big problem with Connolly's final
Speaker 1: sentence here, the quote best team for the best coach
Speaker 1: of the best dynasty of the twenty first century sounds
Speaker 1: like the best team of the CFP era. That is
Speaker 1: fundamentally flawed logic. You can be you can have the
Speaker 1: greatest dynasty ever, and you could be the best coach ever,
Speaker 1: and it can be the best team of your tenure ever,
Speaker 1: but that does not make it the best team ever.
Speaker 1: And it's not a part of a dynasty. It's the
Speaker 1: ultimate one off. It is a perfect storm of good
Speaker 1: that immediately crumbled into dust. It was it was the
Speaker 1: ultimate glass cannon, a nuclear bomb that just left devastation
Speaker 1: in its wake. Right. But but but it should not
Speaker 1: be penalized for not being a part of something greater.
Speaker 1: We are talking about single year team and single year samples,
Speaker 1: and so if you want to call Nick Saban's best team,
Speaker 1: that is fine by me. But it does not automatically
Speaker 1: equate to being the best team ever. And I think
Speaker 1: when you look at the success the guys from that
Speaker 1: L s U team have gone on to have. UM, yes,
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable and saying that L s U nineteen
Speaker 1: would have beat BAMA twenty and uh be a battle
Speaker 1: against twenty one U J I would like to see
Speaker 1: that as well. Uh. That's that's that's interesting one. You
Speaker 1: put the best offense of maybe ever in college football
Speaker 1: against one of the best defenses ever. Let's just say
Speaker 1: in the past ten years, probably L s US offense
Speaker 1: best offense we've seen in the past decade, ten fifteen years.
Speaker 1: And in the same thing with George's defense. I I
Speaker 1: will be sorry Georgia fans. L s you would win
Speaker 1: that football game. Um, we we've seen even that year.
Speaker 1: I mean, what did Georgia struggle with in the SEC
Speaker 1: championship game? They struggle with teams that could push the
Speaker 1: ball vertically down the field, and and and Alabama won
Speaker 1: that game. And why George is not ranked a little
Speaker 1: bit aheader? You tell me that Burrow, the way that
Speaker 1: he was playing that season, how magical it was with
Speaker 1: Chase and company and Clyde Edwards, would not be able
Speaker 1: to put up a ton of points first Georgia. Yeah,
Speaker 1: LSU would would to me once again, if you put
Speaker 1: that team on the field against any team on that list,
Speaker 1: would take care of business in a big, big way.
Speaker 1: It was a special year. I give you credit, Tea, Bob.
Speaker 1: That was a specials You know why because you didn't
Speaker 1: give one one pregame speech. I'm sure that's why. Okay, relax.
Speaker 1: Aaron's referencing the fact that I got to do the
Speaker 1: pregame high video for Tennessee this year and went horribly.
Speaker 1: Um No, but I did make a ten to fifteen
Speaker 1: minute nineteen episode radio play called Song of Purple and Gold,
Speaker 1: which which covered the adventures of the Swamp King as
Speaker 1: he as he set seeded to unseat the Crimson Emperor
Speaker 1: and and and regain the glories of the cast iron throne.
Speaker 1: And guess what he did it? Okay, Aaron, he did
Speaker 1: it just because you're living now, just because you are
Speaker 1: now the Crimson Emperor with Kirby Smart and the red
Speaker 1: and Black on top. Just wait, the the end will
Speaker 1: hurt all the words the middle of the dynasty where
Speaker 1: in the middle of the dynasty team you just don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't know better. If you win the national Championship,
Speaker 1: I told you, I will grant you the rank of dynasty. Um.
Speaker 1: Right now you are a Jedi master, but I do
Speaker 1: not put you on the council. I'm sorry, not until
Speaker 1: you win this second natty. Um. Here's an interesting tidbit
Speaker 1: in this piece. The ten in playoff free programs, those
Speaker 1: are the ones who have not made the playoffs that
Speaker 1: have had the best SMP plus ranking of the CFP
Speaker 1: are and and with one year left in the four
Speaker 1: team playoff, which one of these teams has the best
Speaker 1: chance to make it next year? You got Iowa at ten,
Speaker 1: Old Miss at nine, Mississippi State at eight, Oklahoma State
Speaker 1: at seven, Utah six, Wisconsin five, Penn State for A
Speaker 1: and M three, Florida too, and Auburn one. So next year,
Speaker 1: which of those teams do you think has the best
Speaker 1: chance to make the CFP Uh Iowa, no Ole, miss no,
Speaker 1: Missipy State, No, Oklahoma State, no states. Kind of interesting,
Speaker 1: I mean, brum, we're talking about a bo A show
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve right now. Yeah, the Big Twelve is
Speaker 1: a week I would Yeah, I guess you mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Michigan's returning, you know, their quarterback in a lot, I
Speaker 1: would kind of lean towards Michigan take care of business
Speaker 1: and of hell no for to know Albert No. So yeah,
Speaker 1: if I had to, if I had to pick one, Um,
Speaker 1: I guess Oklahoma State. Maybe Utah? Um, I mean an
Speaker 1: Utah has got to be the answer. They've been a
Speaker 1: four or five last Pack twelve championships. They've knocked on
Speaker 1: the door. They beat the hell out of USC twice
Speaker 1: until Kale WiM's gonna be intimidating and USC can be good.
Speaker 1: But until Utah stops whooping that ask consistently, I'm not
Speaker 1: giving you to I'm not giving USC the benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt over them. Like what happened in that Pack
Speaker 1: twelve championship was some little brother ship that was some
Speaker 1: son and ship. After the Pelicans did of the sons
Speaker 1: this weekend. Uh what's his name? I don't know if
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks back though again next year, I think, I
Speaker 1: mean he's been cam Rising has been magical ever since
Speaker 1: he took over after that that San Diego State game
Speaker 1: last year. So I don't know if he's back or
Speaker 1: if he's back, Yes, little brother, big brother. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the list sucks. I don't think it even make it.
Speaker 1: But if I had to pick one, and well, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that is kind of the point of the
Speaker 1: list is they've never made it right, so it's kind
Speaker 1: of against them. Hey, uh, brom Um, you also produce
Speaker 1: an NBA podcast. Um, are y'all going to make sure
Speaker 1: to only talk about the Pelicans today? We do not
Speaker 1: have an episode today, but if we did, we wouldn't
Speaker 1: only be talking to Pelkins, good, good, excellent, Um, because
Speaker 1: at a time when everything else sucks or the st suck,
Speaker 1: Pelicans are awesome. Uh, George is awesome and we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about it as the playoffs are hurdling right along.
