15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: ball ready to roll. Here the balla fat We are

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 4: in full swing, man, because we had Thanksgiving football, we

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 4: had Black Friday football, full slay to college today, full

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: slate of NFL tomorrow.

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: Is this beautiful thing. And I'll tell you what I

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: always say in life, fellas, don't become what you hate.

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: Okay, So I always use this example. I hate when

22
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 4: I'm driving. I hate tailgate drivers. Gosh, I hate tailgate drivers.

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: It's just no point. Why you're not getting there any faster.

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 4: You're just annoying me. It's dangerous doesn't make any sense.

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 4: You can't then turn around and become what you hate

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: and become a tailgate driver yourself. Right, And so if

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: you apply that to sports, I hate when we see

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 4: let's take the Super Bowl for instance, team wins the

29
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and immediately it's like, hey, here are the

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: odds for the next Super Bowl, and it's like, guys,

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: can we just take a breath? Can we take one

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: minute and just digest what we saw instead of spinning

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: it forward to the very next thing, right, And so

34
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: with that, let's rewind to last night before we start

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: previewing everything. Georgia survives in eight over times against Georgia Tech.

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: It was a classic. It just shows you where college

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: football is this season, right, because Georgia they want back

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: to back championships. They've been on the top, they've been Goliath,

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 4: and now they're just in the middle of the pack

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: here of these playoff teams.

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 5: Well, what's so funny is we can't help it. It's

42
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 5: human nature. Even though we've seen this a million times over,

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter, will make the same mistakes. I mean literally,

44
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 5: there are people who will go and visit, you know,

45
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 5: ancient ruins, you know the Parthenon or the Coliseum and

46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: be like, yeah, but that'll never happen to us. Yeah, no, No,

47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 5: it happens to all civilizations, Like all things repeat itself

48
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 5: in time. It's cyclical, right, you know. You have rises,

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: you have falls, and sports. It's a great microcosm of

50
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: what happens across lifespans, what happens across years, what happens

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: across millennia. You have rises in falls, and I don't

52
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 5: know if we're experiencing the complete downturn for Georgia, but

53
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: it's certainly looking like it. I don't know if we're

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: seeing the complete you know, if the downturn for Clemson

55
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: is complete, But over the past couple of years, Clemson

56
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 5: has looked a lot different than they used to. And

57
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 5: they've got the same guy, you know, as a head coach.

58
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 5: You know, we've you can even see it when the

59
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 5: culture even resembles what it used to. But there's just

60
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 5: something that's not quite keeping up with the times. It

61
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 5: happens in a lot of different areas of our lifestyles,

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: and sometimes it's more obvious than others. But in the

63
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: case of college football this year, I think what's happened

64
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: or really over the past couple of years, it's been

65
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 5: more quiet, and now it's starting to boom out loud.

66
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 5: Is the fact that any team can beat any team.

67
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: It's taking a shift, it's taking a turn more towards

68
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 5: what we've seen in college basketball over the years, as

69
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: opposed to what we have known college football to look like.

70
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: Because if a wealthy donor once invest in a bunch

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 5: of players in a really solid recruiting class, well, in

72
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: two years, you might be able to turn around an

73
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 5: entire football program. And that feels that feels a lot

74
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: different than it used to, you know, ten years ago,

75
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 5: fifteen years ago, when Nick Saban was at the top

76
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 5: of college football.

77
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 6: I would say for Kurtzignetti, it's one year and I

78
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 6: think the Georgia you know, what we saw last night, I.

79
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: Think was more of.

80
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 6: The entire college football landscape changing, not as much Georgia specific.

81
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 6: Like Georgia Still, I think Georgia is still one of

82
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 6: the four best teams in the country, and they proved

83
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 6: it last night because Georgia Tech punched him in the

84
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 6: mouth and Georgia pulled it out like they were able

85
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 6: to figure out a way, especially in the second half.

86
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: The first few moments.

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 6: Of that second half when Georgia came out right after

88
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 6: halftime scored the touchdown like you kind of knew. Okay,

89
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 6: Kirby fired him up in the second half. That's gonna

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 6: be a very different vibe.

91
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: With this football team.

92
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 6: But the biggest indicator to me of where college football

93
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 6: is right now, this is wild. I can't believe that

94
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 6: this is actually a true nugget, but this is true.

95
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 6: Georgia is zero to seven against the spread when laying

96
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 6: more than two touchdowns this year.

97
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

98
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 6: I'll give you the teams that they have not covered

99
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 6: against Georgia Tech, Florida, Mississippi State, Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee Tech.

100
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 5: Wow.

101
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 6: Wow, Tennessee Tech couldn't cover Tennessee Tech, couldn't cover against

102
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 6: U Mass, couldn't cover against Florida, couldn't cover.

103
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: Against Mississippi State.

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 6: Like this, I think, and I oh, Georgia stinks they

105
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 6: can't cover the number great teams cover.

106
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: No.

107
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 6: I think the market was a little bit higher on

108
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 6: Georgia this year. I think the market has been higher

109
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 6: on a lot of these elite programs, and I don't

110
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 6: think it's in an indictment on each individual program. I

111
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 6: think it is more. This is what college football is

112
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 6: right now, parody any given Saturday, we say any Sunday.

113
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 6: We need to change that now to any given Saturday.

114
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful thing. It is.

115
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: I've been dying for college football parody for so long.

116
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: For so many years, it was just the usual suspects.

117
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 4: Recently it's all right. Fourteen playoff Georgia, Bama, Ohio State.

118
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: Wake me when it's January, you know, like that's what

119
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: it was. And for this season, the first year of

120
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 4: the twelve team playoff, for there to be much more

121
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: parody than we're used to in college football.

122
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful thing. Are you guys fans of Donnie Brosco? Yeah,

123
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: I love the thing.

124
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 4: I love great great movie, but another not movie, but series.

125
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: Are you guys Breaking Bad? Yes? Yes, very much so. Yeah.

126
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 4: There's a famous line in Breaking Bad from Jesse where

127
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 4: he's talking about Walt and he says he can't keep

128
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 4: getting away with me.

129
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 6: Yesterday after the Chiefs, so funny, so funny, the.

130
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: Chiefs with Mahomes, with Andy Reid. He could apply it

131
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: to either guy. They win another game at home when

132
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: the other team just invents away to give it to him.

133
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: The Raiders snapped the ball. O'Connell wasn't ready for it.

134
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: It was on O'Connell. It turns into a fumble Chiefs

135
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: win when the Raiders weren't field goal range, and the

136
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: Chiefs survive another one, and you look up and they've

137
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: lost one game all season long.

138
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

139
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: And you know what's interesting is the Chiefs actually probably

140
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: lost more games than that, but the teams that they

141
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 5: played against lost them more.

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: So.

143
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 5: What's fascinating about all great teams is you have to

144
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 5: be willing to play the waiting game sometimes because it

145
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: hasn't really clicked for the Chiefs and they know it.

146
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 5: Mahomes is getting impatient. He talked about it a couple

147
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: of games go where he's like, we got to start.

148
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 5: I think it was after the Carolina game, which felt

149
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 5: like a loss. Ostensibly it felt like a loss, but

150
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 5: they found a way. In the last drive of that game.

151
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 5: They gave the Chiefs too much time. He was able

152
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 5: to march the field and they were able to kick

153
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 5: the field goal and survive and advance and get out

154
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 5: of there. But that feeling of we just got to

155
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 5: outlast these teams because they're gonna make the mistake that

156
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 5: buries them. Well, it happened against the Raiders, you know,

157
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 5: it happened against Carolina Panthers. They left too much time

158
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 5: on the clock. Eventually, the team you're playing against is

159
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 5: going to, you know, either outstay there, welcome, or they're

160
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 5: going to do the thing that you can't do if

161
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: you're going to beat Kansas City and week in week out.

162
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: That has been the story with the Chiefs. I don't

163
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 5: think they're a very good football team.

164
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: I really don't. I don't.

165
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: This isn't what good football teams look like. This is

166
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 5: what the twenty twenty two Minnesota Vikings looked like. You remember,

167
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: we were all so impressed with Kirk Cousins and Kevin

168
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 5: O'Connell this season they were having, but it felt like

169
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 5: it was built on sand and they got found out

170
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 5: in the postseason. I don't like the way they're built

171
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: right now. They remind me of the Philadelphia Eagles from

172
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 5: last year, where they were surviving the whole season and

173
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: their quarterback didn't look like the same as he was

174
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: Jalen Hurts from twenty twenty two when they went on

175
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 5: that Super Bowl run. In twenty twenty three, there was

176
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 5: just something that wasn't quite clicking with that offense.

177
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: That's where the Chiefs are right now. Now.

178
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 5: There could be very different results in the postseason because

179
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: they know that path. That's a well beaten trail for

180
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 5: the Kansas City Chiefs. But yeah, the reason why they

181
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 5: keep getting away with this, to get back to the

182
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 5: Jesse Walter White exchange in breaking Bad, is because there's

183
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 5: a lot of teams that will let them off the hook.

184
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 5: You saw what happened in the cauldron in the pressure

185
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: cooker against the Bills. They never let them off the

186
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: hook and they won that football game. So many teams

187
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 5: do or have and that's the reason why the record

188
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 5: looks the way it does.

189
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: Well, Like, I.

190
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 6: Didn't know the rule with the difference between the illegal

191
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 6: procedure and the fall start, Like, was that rule officiated

192
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 6: correctly in that situation?

193
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: I honestly wasn't. Really, I'm not as keen on it.

194
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I believe so, because it is just a

195
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: straight false start.

196
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: It would have been whistled dead. Yeah.

197
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 4: If you got some movement, you know, you'll see this

198
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 4: sometimes it's like the old CFL rule or like a

199
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: guy's in motion and then might start toward going forward.

200
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 4: They won't blow that dead. It's just you know, an

201
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: illegal motion penalty that sort of thing.

202
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 6: It's kind of a quirky rule because usually as as

203
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 6: football fans were trained that when we see that flag

204
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 6: right before the.

205
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: Snap, the play doesn't count.

206
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 6: And like the quarterback could like run to the back

207
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 6: of the end zone and throw it out of the

208
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 6: back of the end zone and nothing bad would happen

209
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 6: because they're gonna blow the play dead. So it was

210
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 6: kind of a weird way for it to end. But

211
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, there is still this

212
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 6: aura of doesn't matter. You have fifteen in red, you've

213
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 6: got the great Like for example that Panthers game, was

214
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 6: there ever a moment, not the end of exactly.

215
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: There was not one moment once the game was tied

216
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: ye and the Chiefs got the ball back. There wasn't

217
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: one moment we were like, yeah, Kansas City's not gonna

218
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: drive down? Did you feel that? Yesterday?

219
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: Though?

220
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 6: Raiders in field goal range driving I thought they were

221
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 6: gonna miss the field goal. Carlson has missed how many

222
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 6: field goals?

223
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 4: Did he?

224
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: Missing?

225
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 6: That?

226
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: Three? Terrible?

227
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 6: And they weren't even close like the last one I

228
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 6: think was from like fifty seven yards looked like my

229
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: drive off the tee and the breakfast ball first, you know,

230
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 6: off the first t This is like a little squibber

231
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 6: barely got off the ground. I just I don't want

232
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 6: to be the square peg here. I mean maybe some

233
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 6: days I am, but that's okay. One of us has

234
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 6: to be the square peg every day. I'll be the

235
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 6: square peg when we get to the playoffs. If it's

236
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 6: Chiefs Ravens, if it's Chiefs Bills, and make no mistake,

237
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 6: if it is Kansas City at Baltimore. In the AFC

238
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 6: Championship Game last year, I think the number was case

239
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 6: plus four and a half.

240
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be at I'll tell you that much.

241
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be at.

242
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 6: No, it's definitely not gonna be at It's not gonna

243
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 6: be at well, probably not Baltimore, maybe Buffalo. Maybe Buffalo,

244
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 6: let's say. And that is actually a good point. If

245
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 6: the game's at Kansas City. Imagine Kansas City, because you

246
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 6: only get about one one and a half maybe for

247
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 6: the Chiefs. Arrow had two points for home field. Right now,

248
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 6: the Ravens are pretty clear of them in the power ratings.

249
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 6: The Chiefs might be a home dog in the AC

250
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 6: title game to balls like, maybe it's a pick them,

251
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 6: but if it is, you're telling that you're not taking

252
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 6: Canda City of that game.

253
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 4: And there's a mistique. There's a Mahomes mystique, there's a

254
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: Chiefs mistique. And some these teams, they just they start

255
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: to panic.

256
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: You know.

257
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 4: That's what I wonder is are we finally going to

258
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 4: see Lamar in the Ravens, Josh Allen and the Bills

259
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: whomever finally jump over this gigantic boulder.

260
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: It's not even a hurdle. That is the Kansas City

261
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: chief I thought it was gonna happen last year. I

262
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: was on Baltimore in that game.

263
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 4: And Baltimore just again they're just like, let's give a

264
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 4: running back six carries, and it's like, what are you?

265
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: That's the line forers.

266
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: I played for one of these teams. When when I

267
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 5: was in New England with Belichick and Brady, I mean,

268
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 5: you just a you felt like you could beat anybody

269
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 5: in any game. You never felt like you were overmatch

270
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 5: b you. You felt teams wilt against you, You felt

271
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 5: teams do things uncharacteristic out of their normal. What you've

272
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 5: studied on film, you know they would be more disciplined,

273
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 5: or they would do things that that you knew what

274
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 5: they were doing. It's like, oh, they're trying to race

275
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 5: out an early lead. They can't sustain this pace. They're

276
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 5: going to break against the rocks of our beaches over here,

277
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 5: and they would. It was just it was just a

278
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 5: matter of time. And that's what the Chiefs have done

279
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 5: so well this season. Going back to my original point,

280
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 5: they really they know who they are, They know what

281
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: they can and can't get away with. At this point,

282
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 5: they know that the regular season they're going to have

283
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 5: a good record and probably host some playoff games, and

284
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 5: that almost doesn't matter to them because it's all about

285
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: ramping it up for the postseason, which they're hoping they're

286
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 5: able to do this season, which they've been able to

287
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: do in years past. And that's where they're at right now.

288
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: It's the Brady Belichick thing. And by the way they're

289
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: doing that, heel turn that the Patriots and Brady did

290
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 5: as well. When it was nauseating how many calls went

291
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: the Patriots way and how well protected Tom Brady was.

292
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: He gets everything.

293
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: Look at the flag if you so much just breathe

294
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: on Tom Brady, Well, guess what it's happened to the

295
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 5: Chiefs now and people are so sick of it. But

296
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 5: an evil empire is good for sports. You know, when

297
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 5: the Golden State Warriors were really popping off recently, it

298
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 5: was good for the NBA to have this conglomeration of

299
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 5: great players with a great culture and a great head

300
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 5: coach come together and sort of carry the banner for

301
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 5: a little while. So as much as we all hate it,

302
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 5: as much as it turns your stomach to see what

303
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 5: the Chief's doing, it actually is good for the NFL.

304
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 5: It's just not fun to watch sometimes because you're like,

305
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 5: like you said, Jared, it's too predictable. The beauty about

306
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 5: sports is the unpredictability. But when Bryce Young gives Patrick

307
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 5: Mahomes two minutes at the end of the game to

308
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: go win it, he's gonna go win it.

309
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, there are zero doubt in my mind that he

310
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 6: was gonna win that game. I mean, at this point,

311
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 6: we just have to accept.

312
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: It for what it is. The Chiefs are a flaw

313
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: team that will be an.

314
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 6: Underdog in the playoffs, probably multiple games, Like if it's

315
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 6: AFC Champions game against Buffalo.

316
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: They're gonna be a dog no matter where that game

317
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: is played.

318
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 6: If it's the Super Bowl against the Lions, oh yeah,

319
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 6: they're gonna be a dog in that game. And I'm

320
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 6: probably gonna bet him both games. I'm not making the

321
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 6: same when I was in high school. When I was

322
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 6: in high school, I was sixteen years old. I remember

323
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 6: we used to have this poker tournament in my basement

324
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 6: every single not every week, but whatever. I was late

325
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 6: to it one time, and I remember my friend was

326
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 6: calling me. He said, hey, you gotta get we got

327
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 6: to start the poker tournament. I was flying home, got

328
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 6: a speeding ticket, got my license suspended for three months

329
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 6: junior year of high school.

330
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: Like they were really speeding.

331
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was going fifty to twenty five. It was

332
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 6: a reckless I did go in front of a judge.

333
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: He's like, your license sull spend it. Boom justice.

334
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 6: I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since. I don't make

335
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 6: the same mistake twice. I remember sitting in the sportsbook

336
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 6: watching the Ravens blow the game in the asy title,

337
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 6: and I'm like, I am never fading the Chiefs again

338
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, especially as an underdog. Didn't do it

339
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 6: in the Super Bowl. They won that game. I'm not

340
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 6: gonna do it this year. I'm not making that if

341
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 6: they are an underdog to Baltimore Buffalo Afs, I am

342
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 6: on cancer. I will go down with the ship. I

343
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 6: will go down with the ma Home ship.

344
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 4: By the way, super quick bow on the Chiefs. I

345
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: just hate when comments get really dumb, and we're getting

346
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 4: a lot of dumb comments about the Chiefs going back

347
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: to the end of the game against the Raiders where

348
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 4: it's like the officials were waving their arms in the air.

349
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 4: They were blowing the play that if you have an

350
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 4: immediate recovery on a fumble, they're going to give the

351
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 4: other team the ball.

352
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: This is not just the Chiefs thing.

353
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 4: You say what I'm saying, like, how many times do

354
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 4: you see a play whistled dead because they thought the

355
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 4: ball carrier was down and yet you'll see you'll go

356
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: to replay and it's like, oh, that was a fumble

357
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 4: and what and there was an immediate recovery, so they're like, well,

358
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 4: the other team gets the ball. I don't understand how

359
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 4: many people are just like the officials blew it dead,

360
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 4: Like what the hell this is?

361
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 2: They're just cheating for the Chiefs. No, they're not. You're dumb.

Speaker 4: a an onslaught of karaoke here recently.

394
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 2: Oh wow, a couple of weeks ago.

395
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,199

Speaker 4: A little bit of Little Missy.

00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 7: I've been doing like a We've been doing these charity

400
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 7: hallooes limp Biscuit was in there. I have to go

401
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 7: back and look at the whole list. We went for

402
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 7: like four hours, and I thought, honestly, it's a bit

403
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 7: of a blur.

404
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 2: Look at look at the versatility huh of our guy, Chris.

405
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: You kidding me?

406
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 4: Who can go from Depeche to limp You know what

407
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: I mean? Depeche to biscuit. Let's go biscuit, you know. Yeah,

408
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 4: not many people can do Chris Prefett can do that.

409
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: Huh. We're happy that he's on our team over here,

410
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. Yeah.

411
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: And also our our karaoke night coming up pretty soon

412
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: here on Fox Sports radios. So is that a thing

413
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 5: it should be? I wish it was though. Yeah, I

414
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 5: could tear apart from Jovi if I can, if I

415
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 5: can add three more. I think I found my full

416
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 5: playlist for the night. I did Finger eleven, Mighty Mighty,

417
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 5: Boss Tones, Gorillas, Oh wow, Journey.

418
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: It's impressive. Impressive loss. Yeah.

419
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: Range, that's what they range, risk, the range perfest just

420
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 5: range that range right there.

421
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: Range.

422
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: All right.

423
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: We got number three, Texas at number twenty Texas A

424
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 4: and M. We get the uh, the new version of

425
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: this old rivalry right because Texas A and M they

426
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 4: bolted in the early twenty tens. To the SEC, and

427
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 4: this rivalry was no more. Now we got Texas in

428
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 4: the SEC, boom rivalry restored. So there's much more motivation

429
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 4: for Texas A and M to win this game because

430
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 4: if they do, there's a chance they could survive, right,

431
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 4: like they'd have a Are they with Georgia? Correct me

432
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: if I'm wrong, Jared, Texas, they're in Regardless, I think

433
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 4: they could get smacked today.

434
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: And still I think I think if because anim only has.

435
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 6: Two conference losses, because their third loss was there you go, right,

436
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 6: If A and M wins today the face.

437
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: Georgia, Georgia, Yeah, in the SEC time.

438
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 4: There you go, and then there would be a path

439
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 4: to Texas A and M getting to the college football

440
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 4: play Georgia. Right, you win today against Texas, you beat

441
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 4: Georgia in the SEC title game, presto, you are in

442
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: the playoff. So that's the first question. Much more motivation

443
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: for A and M in this game. They're underdogs here,

444
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: obviously they have to win outright. Do you take that

445
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 4: into account where sometimes there's just I wouldn't call it

446
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 4: blind handicapping, maybe surface level handicapping. This team's going to

447
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 4: be way more motivated. It's like cool, they are, but

448
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 4: that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to win. Where do

449
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 4: you start to try to assess things more motivation for

450
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 4: A and M the factor that into you going to

451
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 4: the extent of saying they're going to win this game.

452
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 5: Also, yeah, it's uh, well, don't get me wrong, they're

453
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: both super motivated. There's still a path if Texas loses

454
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 5: against A and M. A and M's playing for their lives.

455
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, the motivation certainly certainly should be on both

456
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 5: sides to get the job done today, but more so

457
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: for A and M. It just depends on It's like this,

458
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 5: it depends on how seriously the players in this locker

459
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 5: room take the messaging that I've played on teams that

460
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 5: were a little bit aloof even if they were talented teams.

461
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 5: Sometimes you just, I don't know, you get a little

462
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 5: too high on your own supply, even though even if

463
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 5: you don't really deserve it. And then I've played on

464
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 5: teams where you've been hungry the entire season. It doesn't

465
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 5: matter what the outside world tells you, whether they tell

466
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 5: you how good you are are, bad you are, there's

467
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 5: just this insatiable thirst that can't be quenched and you're

468
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 5: just going to keep on fighting. So it really depends

469
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 5: on the locker room. It depends on the players. Football

470
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 5: is spoken about in so many terms and it's and yeah,

471
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 5: there is a hive mind, but it's really those players

472
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 5: in that room. So for A and M as long

473
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 5: as the players believe it, as long as the players

474
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 5: believe that, hey, we're playing for our lives here and

475
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 5: it matters to us, well, then yeah, you have a

476
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 5: situation where you will have the more motivated squad, the

477
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 5: Haggis who have really their first opportunity to take a

478
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 5: bite at the apple at the playoff level since this

479
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: format has changed. And then Texas, I mean Texas, how

480
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 5: could you not be motivated? I mean they've had some

481
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 5: heartbreak recently too. So I don't look at this as

482
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 5: an opportunity for one team versus the other in terms

483
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: of motivation. I look at it as who's the more

484
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: prepared team, who believes it more that this game is

485
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 5: a must win?

486
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: That is going to be the team that's more motivated.

487
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think this is a weird week for that

488
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 6: motivational term because there's two things at play. Obviously, the

489
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 6: teams that are on five wins right. Every all I've

490
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 6: heard this week from other Square.

491
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 2: Pegs who do this, Oh oh you know you got

492
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: a bet the five win teams.

493
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

494
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 6: Don't you think the market knows that too? Like the

495
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 6: sportsbooks know how many wins these teams have, So you're

496
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 6: paying a premium to bet on these teams that are

497
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 6: the quote unquote more motivated team.

498
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: I think when it comes to.

499
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 6: Rivalry games, and take Mississippi State Ole Miss yesterday. Now

500
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 6: you could say, well, what's Old Miss playing for? They

501
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 6: got their playoff hopes dash last week.

502
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: That's fair.

503
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 6: But to say that Mississippi State is not as motivated

504
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 6: to play Old Miss in the egg Bowl because they

505
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 6: have only won two games this year, I just I

506
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 6: don't buy that, Like I don't buy that these rivalry games,

507
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 6: and make no mistake, this is a rivalry game. Now

508
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 6: they haven't played it in a while, but this is

509
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 6: a big rivalry game. I think the motivation factor, like rich,

510
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 6: you're out there on the field, you don't care how

511
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 6: many wins you have. You're playing a rivalry game against

512
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 6: an in state. You're up. Second that game starts, you

513
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 6: are up. Now which team handles that emotion better? That

514
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 6: is a fair argument to make. But if someone's gonna

515
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 6: look me dead in the eyes and say both of

516
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 6: these teams are not motivated for this game, I think

517
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 6: you're wrong because that is not what an eighteen to

518
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 6: twenty two year old student athlete is gonna be thinking

519
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 6: before playing an in state rival. Like for the Texas kids,

520
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 6: you're going to Kyle Field, probably for the first time

521
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 6: at night. I mean, if you're not up for that

522
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 6: for Texas, I don't know what else you could get

523
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 6: up for. Because you know, Brian, you watched Notre Dame

524
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 6: go there this year. That is some serious environment at

525
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 6: Kylefield at night, So I don't know if the motivation

526
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 6: is really any like on either side you can really

527
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 6: make the case. I think it's more about who handles

528
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 6: that emotion better. Now Texas is Texas had their moments

529
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 6: this year where they've gone on the road and not

530
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 6: looked as good.

531
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: They got pushed around by Georgia.

532
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 6: This defensive line will move you, and that's the key

533
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 6: is how Texas can they handle the physicality of A

534
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 6: and M. I didn't think Auburn handled it very well

535
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 6: last week, but Auburn won the game because of the

536
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 6: fluky overtime thing back and forth, and that was a

537
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 6: crazy football game.

538
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: But it's crazy for me to think that Texas, even

539
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: though this.

540
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 6: Game technically doesn't mean as much in terms of the playoffs.

541
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 6: I don't think there's any reasonably they won't be up

542
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 6: for this football game.

543
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: I hear you, I absolutely hear you. If you're a.

544
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 4: Competitive person by nature, and most football players are, right,

545
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 4: like this is competition, you're gonna be motivated to play,

546
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: especially from hook them, like in an atmosphere like this,

547
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: in a rivalry game like this, in the same state, right,

548
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 4: with A and M being there, So you're.

549
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: Gonna be motivated. But there's a difference between is it

550
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 2: the same motivation? Right?

551
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 4: I think oftentimes we mistake it for there's no motivation, which,

552
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 4: to your point, Jared is just flat out wrong. But

553
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 4: there's not the same motivation A and M can make

554
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 4: it into the playoff. That's a different motivation than what

555
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: Texas has. If we use radio for example, right, we're

556
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 4: all self motivated here on the show, like we want

557
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 4: to do a good job. We're doing our deep dives,

558
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: we're doing our notes. We don't just show up and say.

559
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: Hey, play the points with the what the hook that's

560
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: all I need. It feels like, based on the results,

561
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: that's what I do.

562
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 4: But although we're self motivated, if there was somehow something

563
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 4: in radio where it's like, hey, the strength on today's

564
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 4: show is going to determine whether you get a Christmas

565
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 4: bonus or it's like, oh okay, I got a little

566
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 4: more motivation. So there's more motivation for A and M.

567
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 4: And granted it's not like hook them has zero motivation.

568
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: That's not true.

569
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: They don't have the same motivation and that's a big

570
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: deal in this matchup.

571
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 5: Well, I'll give you a comparison that both of you

572
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 5: probably know.

573
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: Look, we're probably speaking.

574
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 5: To more people on the radio, but if you ever did,

575
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 5: if you were ever hosting a live event in front

576
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 5: of five hundred people, you may feel a little bit

577
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 5: more nervous, right because you're in the room and you

578
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: can see the reaction of the crowd. You know, even

579
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 5: though a broadcast may reach millions of people, a more

580
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 5: intimate venue where all eyes are on you may feel

581
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: more nerve wracking, may get that heightened sense that you're

582
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 5: talking about. So yeah, maybe games in vacuums may not

583
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 5: quote unquote mean as much to one side versus the other.

584
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter when you actually get out there and

585
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 5: start playing. And I've said this many times during the

586
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 5: course of my career. The media experts would know more

587
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 5: than I did about where we stood in the power

588
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 5: rankings or the playoff chase, or you know what this

589
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 5: win meant when I was playing per professionally, to our

590
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 5: chances in the division, you know what this win meant,

591
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 5: and our chances in playoff seating. You know, a lot

592
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 5: of that was missed on me. I'm just trying to

593
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 5: go out and win every single game, you know, so

594
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 5: this idea of man, you know, this one's more important

595
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 5: than the last one. In my brain, they were all

596
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 5: the same. I'm trying to win all these games, so

597
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 5: it didn't matter if we were playing against you know.

598
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 5: I mean to put it back into terms of Texas

599
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 5: A and M. Texas can look as pretty as they want,

600
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 5: and Texas A and M can look as unconventional as

601
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 5: they want. And Texas may be able to afford a loss,

602
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 5: and A and M may need one. But I'll tell

603
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 5: you right now, for the majority of the players in

604
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 5: that locker room, the motivation is the same. We're gonna

605
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 5: go out there and we're going to prevent from being

606
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 5: humiliated and losing this game. We're gonna go beat up

607
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 5: some Aggie's or you know, conversely, we're gonna go beat

608
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 5: up some longhorns, because that's all you care about is

609
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 5: just winning. And like you said, when you're a competitor,

610
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 5: that's the only thing should matter is trying to win

611
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 5: every single game. And I promise you the majority of

612
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 5: the football players in those locker rooms, that's all they

613
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 5: care about.

614
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: How do we get how do we get out of

615
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: here with a W today.

616
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: They're not thinking about, you know, three weeks down the

617
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 5: road when they're playing against or preparing for Ohio State.

618
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 5: They're just trying to win this one.

619
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 6: So well put about the crowd, because I tell people

620
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 6: all the time, like I'm doing the show right now.

621
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 6: You can only see me from the waste up on

622
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 6: the on our stream we do the videos. I'm the

623
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 6: dogs on the couch sleep and I have about to

624
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 6: say jack down, Like I'm hanging out in my in

625
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 6: my apartment just talking sports with my buddies. But I

626
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 6: remember when I when I was doing TV and I

627
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 6: would do on there's like a hundred people standing there,

628
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 6: I'm in the middle of the sportsbook. They're all watching

629
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 6: the games, and they're like, who is this jack Rabbit

630
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 6: doing this?

631
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: You know, broadcast in the middle of the sports book.

632
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 6: Mark madis that I felt much more pressure with one

633
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 6: hundred people watching me than I do right now with

634
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 6: probably one hundred thousand people listening. Like it is a

635
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 6: very very good way of putting it, because that is

636
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 6: a that's a mental thing that you just can't get

637
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 6: over when you can feel the eyeballs on you. Now,

638
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 6: the other side to this argument is, just like the Chiefs,

639
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 6: certain teams handle the pressure better. So A and M

640
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 6: feels that pressure. We have to win this game or

641
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 6: else we are done. Texas is like, hey, we know

642
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 6: this is an important game, but it's not our end

643
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 6: all be all. You play a little bit looser, you

644
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 6: don't make those mistakes, you're not as tight. So sometimes

645
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 6: just because we're handicapping the motivation, this team needs the

646
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 6: game like hospitals need blood. That doesn't mean they're going

647
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 6: to win the game. You still have to go out

648
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 6: there and execute and be clean. I'll be honest, I

649
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 6: think Texas plays loose today and the nil era we

650
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 6: live in the games matter a little bit more than

651
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 6: the standings indicate. I bet you there are recruits on

652
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: the field today for both teams, and based off of

653
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 6: the performance, they might make their decision. So it just

654
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 6: I don't like the argument of oh, anem needs this game,

655
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 6: we're going be at A and M. It's just there,

656
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 6: there is more depth to it than that. That doesn't

657
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 6: mean A and M can't win the game, but there

658
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 6: is definitely significantly more layers to it.

659
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: Than just that one handicap, no doubt.

660
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: And I love how you put that, Jared, because sometimes

661
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: the team that doesn't have as much on the line

662
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 4: that plays to their benefit and they are a little

663
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 4: bit looser and it's like, hey, let's try this reverse,

664
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 4: you know, double pass whatever.

665
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: You're like, you know that's true, I work yet, Like.

666
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, But the other that's what's interesting is the flip

667
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 4: side to that is football is a hard game, and

668
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 4: this could be a grimy game at at times where

669
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 4: you look at A and M. They can stop the

670
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: running game, Texas gonna have a hard time running the

671
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 4: ball outside. That's what A and M shuts down have

672
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: a great success rate. So it's like in those moments

673
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 4: when yards and points are tough to come by for

674
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 4: Texas and you got to push through that and you

675
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 4: don't have to, right, you don't have to win this game.

676
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 2: It's like, are you still.

677
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 4: Going to be able to get grimy and do the

678
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 4: dirty work when Texas A and M They're like they

679
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 4: have no choice, they have no margin for error and

680
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 4: Texas does. So that's the flip side to it too,

681
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 4: where it could break either way. I'll tell you what.

682
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 4: We could play the motivation thing all day long. But

683
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 4: something else that you have to keep in mind. Underdogs

684
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: in the SEC against the spread forty seventeen and one. Yeah,

685
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: over the last five years, it is tough to win

686
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 4: on the road in the season.

687
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 5: Last thing I'll say about Texas is they've really kind

688
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 5: of beat nobody recently. You know when you look at

689
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 5: some of these matchups, basically since mid October when they

690
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 5: played against Georgia, I mean, they have not been very good.

691
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 5: And even in that win against Georgia that wasn't like

692
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 5: a beautiful win. It's it's going to be interesting and

693
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 5: that and I'll tell you right now that's what players

694
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 5: are aware of. To go back to this whole motivation

695
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 5: motif we're talking about here, players are aware, Hey we

696
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 5: haven't played really well against good teams, and so down

697
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 5: the stretch of the season, A and M. You want

698
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 5: to talk about motivation, this is gonna give you momentum

699
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 5: you're gonna need to springboard you into playoff success.

700
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: That's that's the.

701
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 5: Reason why I think the Longhorns could be equally motivated.

702
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 5: But that's gonna be a tough environment. College Station Kyle Field,

703
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 5: like we were talking about, I mean, this is going

704
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 5: to be a lot to handle for a Texas team

705
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 5: that has won a lot of games, but hasn't beat

706
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 5: many great teams, and when they faced great teams, they've

707
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 5: really kind of wilted.

708
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: So we'll see, Yeah, no doubt.

709
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 4: That's rich hon Berger, Penn State All American, Jared Smith

710
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 4: with us FSR betting analyst. I'm Brian no coming up next. Yes,

711
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 4: the Platter. You know that's the gangstering nickname right here,

712
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 4: that's the Platter. Yeah, Harlay Platter. Yeah, that's right. We

713
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 4: will have each one selection and outright dog to win

714
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 4: the game. Huh, and we'll pull it together for a

715
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 4: greater payout.

716
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 2: That's coming your way. Next.

717
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff presented by BETMGM.

718
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff presented by BETMGM.

719
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: Every time you make a wager at BETMGM, you earn

720
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 4: BETMGM rewards points that can be redeemed for things like

Speaker 4: bonus bets or converted to MGM rewards points that can

722
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 4: be used towards dining shows and hotel rooms at over

723
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 4: twenty MGM resorts.

724
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's do this.

725
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: Check this out with Harlay letter.

726
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 4: All right, time for the platter here, Jared, we start

727
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 4: with you, what dog do you like to win outright today?

728
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: I actually be honest of the dogs that we have,

729
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 2: I am the most conservative of the group points.

730
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 6: So we'll start small, three point underdog Arkansas at Missouri.

731
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 6: So we have seen a pretty sizeable move on Arkansas

732
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 6: this week, and I think the reason is twofold Ay

733
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 6: Arkansas right now, based off of the trenches, based off

734
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 6: of some of the initial handicapping, they're better in yards

735
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 6: for play margin. They played a tougher schedule that surface level.

736
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 6: But now let's go a layer deeper. This game last

737
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 6: year was very one sided. Missouri absolutely whipped Arkansas. It

738
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 6: was forty one nothing. They won the game forty eight

739
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 6: to fourteen. Sam Pittman said it was the worst beating

740
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 6: he's taken since coaching Arkansas. So they have had this

741
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 6: game circled for a long time. And I think, let's

742
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 6: be honest, Missouri kind of a paper tiger this year,

743
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 6: much below the expectation considering if Luther Burn and Theois

744
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 6: on the outside. Their offense hasn't been as explosive as

745
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 6: you would like. So I think Arkansas goes into Columbia today.

746
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 6: I think they get some revenge. I think they beat

747
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 6: Miszoo out right.

748
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 5: So Syracuse, they've won all three of their home games

749
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 5: since losing in blowout fashion to Stanford earlier in the year.

750
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 5: They've scored thirty one points in each. So if you

751
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 5: think about Syracuse, what can they do? They can score well, Miami,

752
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 5: who they're hosting, they can score too. But Kyle McCord,

753
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 5: that quarterback, he is okay being in a shootout. He's

754
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 5: comfortable in that. Through the last three games, he's posted

755
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 5: three ninety five through the air on average, with a

756
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 5: five touchdowns thrown to zero interceptions. I think this could

757
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 5: be a shootout, and I think this could be a

758
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 5: shootout that the Hurricanes lose. And how much fun would

759
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 5: that be in terms of the playoff picture, the ACC

760
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 5: playoff picture, this would be pandemonium.

761
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: So I'm halfway rooting for that.

762
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 4: I got Syracuse, Okay, the cuse in the uh the

763
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 4: artist formerly known as the Carrier Dome.

764
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even know what it's called anymore. It's

765
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: like three initials, right, It's like the rl C. I

766
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 2: don't l r L stein so Dome right there. I'm

767
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: gonna go with UTSA. Huh.

768
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 4: Utsa has had an up and down season. They had

769
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 4: a rocky start, but they do really well against the

770
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 4: Rush and obviously that's a big deal against Army.

771
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: Plus Army banged up.

772
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 4: This is the game after facing Notre Dame.

773
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 2: Notre Dame worked them.

774
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 4: This is the interesting stat teams the week after playing

775
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 4: Notre Dame zero to nine against the Smiths. Wow, So

776
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 4: you factor all that in and also Army just a

777
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: ridiculously light strength of schedule, and you saw that bite

778
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 4: them against Notre Dame. When they played a real team

779
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 4: last week, they just got housed. I'm not expecting a

780
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 4: beatdown like that today. But UTSA is a better team

781
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 4: than a lot of Army schedule. So give me utsa.

782
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 4: Let's go road runners here to win the game out

783
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 4: right on the road. Guys, say, I love that.

784
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 6: And also they've got the Armies, got the American title

785
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 6: on back and the Navy game, so they've got everything

786
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 6: they're playing for. This porls a whopper, guys, twenty seven

787
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 6: and a half to one.

788
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 4: Whooa, okay, all right, coming up next, I would to

789
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 4: play a game with a Jeopardy theme. Welcome in here,

790
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 4: getting you a set for a full slate of college

791
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: football less than two hours until kickoff. I can't believe

792
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 4: this is the last full slate of the college football

793
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 4: regular season.

794
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: How does this.

795
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 4: Happen every single year? Yeah, unbelievable.

796
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 2: Man.

797
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 4: It feels like we should be halfway through the regular season.

798
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 4: We're at the end a full slate at least. It's crazy.

799
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 4: Crazy how that works.

800
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 5: You know, you know what, I've always felt this way

801
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 5: when I was playing. Also, what happens is everybody starts

802
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 5: to settle in around the end of the season. Like

803
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 5: the football season, because you play so few games, it

804
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 5: takes so much much longer than other sports in terms

805
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 5: of the length of time to develop an identity, like

806
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 5: a true identity. It feels like in football, by the

807
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 5: time you figure out who you want to be in

808
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 5: a season, the season's about over and and it's it's

809
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 5: it's a phenomenon that happens every single year, every single

810
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 5: year is playing every single team, or every single year

811
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 5: that I've been broadcasting covering the game, it really does

812
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 5: feel like certain teams they truly emerge as who they're

813
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 5: going to be for the rest of the season when

814
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 5: the season's already decided. It's like, oh, wow, you know

815
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 5: this pretty gutsy team. They they've got things together and

816
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 5: they've missed the playoffs and it's over.

817
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, oh wow.

818
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 5: You know this team, this team they're they're they're actually

819
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 5: they've got a good record, but they're just not putting

820
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 5: putting together impressive enough wins. And then they get to

821
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 5: the opening round of the postseason and their season's over,

822
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 5: like it really is. If I think that's the reason

823
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 5: why ball always feels like it speeds by, and baseball

824
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 5: and basketball it always kind of feels like it drags

825
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 5: because there's so many more games, so you you have

826
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 5: the full scope of what the postseason is gonna feel

827
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 5: like or look like it feels like you know around

828
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 5: you know, the All Star breaking most of these.

829
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 6: Sports totally agree. So there's only one solution. Make the

830
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 6: football season as long as the baseball season. Right there,

831
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 6: you go, yeah, okay, I want to a player game. Okay, now,

832
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 6: this is what we're gonna do. Guys, all right, So

833
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 6: based on Georgia barely surviving last night eight overtimes, it

834
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 6: took the Dogs on Real to get by Georgia Tech.

835
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 6: So number seven Georgia, they survived, and so it got

836
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 6: me thinking, if you look at the rest of the

837
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 6: top ten, who is in jeopardy of losing outright?

838
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 4: Georgia almost lost out right? Who else is in jeopardy of.

839
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: Doing just that? So here's the way it will work.

840
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 4: We'll go rapid fire, will go very quickly, and each

841
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 4: of us we have a vote here, so majority rules.

842
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 4: If it's two and one in favor of this team

843
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 4: is in jeopardy to lose, you will hear this.

844
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: How about this for.

845
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 4: Production right and jeopardy of losing here, So we'll start

846
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 4: it with number ten. Iu, I feel very strongly that

847
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 4: we're going to be three and oh no, jeopardy of

848
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 4: losing out right against a one in ten per due team, right, agreed?

849
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, the old oak and Bucket's going to Hoo's your ville.

850
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: How about this?

851
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 4: When we go up we count up here number nine

852
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 4: SMU they're hosting Cal. SMU is favored by thirteen and

853
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 4: a half. Are they in jeopardy of losing outright to Col?

854
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 4: I say no, not Listen, anything can happen where we're

855
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 4: not saying no chance, no how but legitimate jeopardy to

856
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 4: lose outright?

857
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 2: I say no, Okay, legitimate jeopardy.

858
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 5: I would also say no, but I could see a

859
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 5: fluky one off Cal win if they reclaim some of

860
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 5: what dazzled me earlier this season. But I'm gonna say no,

861
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 5: I'm gonna agree with you.

862
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 6: Brian so Cal or Trevor Skogerbow is the Cal equipment

863
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 6: manager that had that viral tackle this week. That was

864
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 6: the coolest thing I've ever seen. But I think that

865
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 6: was probably the coolest thing that's gonna happen to Cal

866
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 6: this week. But the question, the question is SMU does

867
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 6: have this right the ACC title next week?

868
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: Like that's the real game.

869
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's kind of like the army game, right,

870
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 6: Like we don't know how the motivation will be there.

871
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 6: But also SMU is in an at large position, so

872
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 6: there's also that hanging in the balance. I think they

873
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 6: will be up for this game, and they look fantastic

874
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 6: over the last few weeks.

875
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 2: I will say SMU wins this game. No Jeopardy.

876
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Cal gets off to such horrible starts games.

877
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 4: I just don't see them coming back if they're down

878
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 4: big against SMU. Okay, number eight Tennessee at Vanderbilt. I

879
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 4: like Vandy's been a live dog. I don't see how

880
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 4: you could say no Jeopardy. I'm going Jeopardy for the vows.

881
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 4: Are they at Jeopardy to lose this game? I say yes,

882
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 4: even though they're eleven point favorites here.

883
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 5: Now, Vanderbilt, that's a team that is pretty easy to

884
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 5: say what their identity is. They're ruiners, like Vanderbilt likes

885
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 5: to show up and ruin your your party. So yeah,

886
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 5: I've I think Tennessee's in Jeopardy.

887
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 6: Vandy is a super dog. They are Jackpot on steroids.

888
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 6: Seven and one ats as a dog this year. It's unbelievable.

889
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 6: So Vandy they kind of We've talked about their style

890
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 6: before it's like a jiu jitsu style. They want to

891
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 6: drag you down, slow the game down, mucket up.

892
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 2: How about this against LSU last week?

893
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 6: There were only six possessions in the entire second half,

894
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 6: three each for LSU and Vandy. Like that's how slow

895
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 6: and methodical they play. Tennessee's the opposite. They want to

896
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 6: go fast, but in SEC play, averaging just twenty three

897
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 6: points per game compared to sixty two in non conference play.

898
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 6: I think this game's tight. I'm gonna betting Vandy in

899
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 6: this game. I'm getting double digits. You Brian, You you

900
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 6: read the stat of the underdogs in the SEC this year.

901
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: How can you not think Vandy's not live? Yeah? Absolutely,

902
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: they're live. So that's what we have.

903
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 6: Yes, Tennessee here, that's just got into the playoff last week.

904
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 6: Don't boot yourself out this week.

905
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 4: Okay, we move up to number six Miami, so they're

906
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 4: favored by ten and a half on the road against

907
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 4: Syracuse in the initials Dome, I forget what it is

908
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 4: like the VM.

909
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 2: I or I don't know what stupid dome is what

910
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 2: ye call these days? Rich?

911
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 4: We know where you're leaning on this one is Miami

912
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 4: and jeopardy of losing outright.

913
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are.

914
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 5: You know what, I played at the Then Carrier Dome.

915
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 5: It's a really weird place to be. It puts you

916
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 5: to sleep a little bit. It reminded me of the

917
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 5: old Saint Louis Rams Stadium as well, Like there are

918
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 5: certain buildings that's suck the energy out of the road team.

919
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 5: The home team's gotta figure it out. I think Miami

920
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 5: struggles here. I could see this turning into a shootout,

921
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 5: and I could see Miami falling on the wrong side

922
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 5: of that shootout. So yeah, yeah, give me, give me.

923
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 5: They are definitely in jeopardy. The Hurricanes are in jeopardy.

924
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 6: So many variables in this game. First of all, Miami,

925
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 6: and I know the game is indoors, but they are

926
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 6: hanging out in like twenty degree win chill weather in

927
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 6: upstate New York right now. They are not happy just

928
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 6: being there. I know the games inside, but just being

929
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 6: in that environment, I'm sure they're a little bit uncomfortable.

930
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 6: The second part of this game, so Clemson South Carolina plays.

931
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 2: At noon Eastern. This game's not till three thirty.

932
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 6: If Clemson loses to South Carolina, Miami is in the

933
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 6: ACC title game, like, so that that dynamic will change

934
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 6: the way my and I bet they're gonna be watching

935
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 6: that game.

936
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure the ooches will be.

937
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 6: So keep an eye on South Carolina Clemson if you

938
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 6: see South Carolina take a big lead in that game

939
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 6: and win Miami all of a sudden, like, hey, we

940
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 6: got to worry about the ACEC title game next week.

941
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 2: That's our main concern.

942
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 6: So that will turn this game into a very interesting handicap.

943
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: I agree with Rich.

944
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 6: I think Syracuse, especially if Clemson loss Miami, is very

945
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 6: much in Jeopardy.

946
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

947
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 4: Okay, well majority rules over here. You know who am I? Yes,

948
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 4: Miami and Jeopardy to lose outright.

949
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

950
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 4: Number five Notre Dame, Oh boy at USC irish favored

951
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 4: by seven and the hook. We'll start with you, Jared Huh,

952
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 4: starting with our trusted producer Bo Benson.

953
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I don't listen to taking us.

954
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 6: He takes he's a hair biased when it comes to

955
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 6: the Trojans. No, this is an interesting game. So Notre

956
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 6: Dame hasn't won by more than a touchdown at USC.

957
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 6: They've only done it five times since like the sixties. Like,

958
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 6: it's not easy to go into the coliseum and win

959
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 6: with margin. But man, I I don't think USC like

960
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 6: the defense has been good this year, much better than expected.

961
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 6: I did not have top forty USC defense on my

962
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four Culturable Bengal card. But I want to

963
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 6: know who's under center, because I think my AVA against

964
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 6: this Notre Dame defense trying to run it into.

965
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 2: A brick wall.

966
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 6: I would much prefer to see Miller Moss, who can

967
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 6: spread it out and throw it in.

968
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 2: Notre Dame.

969
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 6: As you know, Brian a little bit more susceptible to

970
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 6: the explosive pass. So if it's my AVA, I think

971
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 6: Notre Dame rolls here.

972
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 2: I honestly do.

973
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 6: If it's Miller Moss, I think they've got a chance

974
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,479
Speaker 6: to pull the upset. But I think Notre Dame wins

975
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 6: this game.

976
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 2: I do, Okay, agreed, Yeah, I think that. I think

977
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: that the.

978
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 5: Trojans have had a turbulent season, and I think the

979
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 5: Irish got out to that hurky jerky start and really

980
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 5: have real They've settled the stumble and it feels like

981
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 5: they're galloping now, so I think they do so pass

982
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 5: the Trojans here, Yeah, I got, I got Notre Dame here.

983
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 4: Okay, you know it's crazy, Jared. Think back to when

984
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 4: you and I were in Washington, DC. Yeah, for the

985
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 4: live broadcast. It feels like forever ago, doesn't it. That's

986
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 4: the last time Notre Dame.

987
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 2: Played a road game. Wow.

988
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 4: They played Perdue on the road in like mid September

989
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,959
Speaker 4: at the last time they've been playing a true road game.

990
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 4: So at USC today. Look, Notre Dame's passing game is

991
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 4: better than it was. It was just awful to begin

992
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 4: the season. It's better, but not good. USC plays pretty

993
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 4: decent defense. Yeah, USC is live in this spot. You

994
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 4: know me and I feel it like there are times

995
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 4: where I'm like, don't even sweat it against Nay, don't

996
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 4: even sweat it. You feel great about great and maybe

997
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 4: this spot USC is live.

998
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 6: A crazy stat on USC. So, USC is one of

999
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,280
Speaker 6: six teams in the FBS that have led in every

1000
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 6: fourth quarter this year.

1001
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 2: Wow. Notre Dame is also one of them.

1002
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 6: However, of those six teams five combined losses. For the

1003
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 6: non USC teams, USC has five losses. USC has led

1004
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 6: in every fourth quarter this year and they've lost five games.

1005
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 2: Wow. That's yeah, that's not good.

1006
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 4: But I will go Jeopardy, But it sounds like it's

1007
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 4: not a majority rules type thing. You guys expect the

1008
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 4: Irish to win that game, I do think. Okay, hey man,

1009
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 4: no Jeopardy majority rules here. Okay, So the top four

1010
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 4: teams we could go rapid fire. Now keep this in mind. Georgia,

1011
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 4: who barely won last night, had to go to eight overtimes.

1012
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 4: They opened as a twenty point favorite against Georgia Tech.

1013
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 4: It was bet down. They were still a seventeen and

1014
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 4: a half point favorite and nearly lost outright at home.

1015
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 4: So you keep that in mind. Penn State at home

1016
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 4: minus twenty four and a half against Maryland in jeopardy

1017
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 4: to lose outright, Like, No, I don't think they're in

1018
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 4: serious Jeopardy or legitimate Jeopardy to lose this game out right.

1019
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 5: No, absolutely not. And again, like you, Brian, I'm a pragmatist.

1020
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 5: I will I will talk about a bad pa State team.

1021
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 5: If they're a bad Penn State team, this is not

1022
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 5: This is not that team. They're not gonna stumble here

1023
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 5: against Maryland.

1024
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1025
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 6: Can we just take a second to acknowledge the fact

1026
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 6: that in a few hours time, Penn State will be

1027
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:14,479
Speaker 6: clinching a playoff Berth.

1028
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: There you go.

1029
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 6: Take a second here, Yeah, and all hold hands in

1030
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 6: Kumbaya because this is a moment that I did not expect.

1031
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,280
Speaker 2: Oh I know I expected it, but it's reality today.

1032
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: Pad State's winning this football. Yeah, they're going to the

1033
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 2: playoff Jim Morris style playoff.

1034
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 4: Okay, top two teams here, Number two Ohio State minus

1035
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 4: nineteen and a half against Michigan.

1036
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 2: This one's personal, Max. This is Ohio State.

1037
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, smacking the Wolverines.

1038
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 2: It's gonna be ugly. No Jeopardy.

1039
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 6: Ryan Day last week ran two tush pushes with a

1040
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 6: minute left in the game and they were already covering

1041
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 6: the spread against Indiana. And then he said after the

1042
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,959
Speaker 6: game that outside of his father dying, losing three straight

1043
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 6: to Michigan, it's the worst thing.

1044
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: That's actually said that on live national television.

1045
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's how Ohio State feels about this game.

1046
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,959
Speaker 2: That's what kind of matters for the guys. That matters

1047
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 2: a little bit.

1048
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 4: Number one Oregon at home against Washington. Washington just they

1049
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 4: couldn't stop us.

1050
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 2: Running the ball on them. Like Oregon, They're not losing this.

1051
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 5: What do you say to to Huskies like the actual

1052
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 5: animal mush. Yeah, well that's what that is, what the

1053
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 5: Huskies are. They're mush. They are not going to hold

1054
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 5: out today.

1055
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, keep an eye on dem On Williams. He's the

1056
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 6: young quarterback for Washington. That's kind of the future of

1057
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 6: the program. Apparently he's going to get some more reps today.

1058
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 6: But you don't want your first real big test to

1059
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 6: come against the Dan Lanning defense.

1060
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 2: Usually that doesn't go well.

1061
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 6: I I want to say, for chaos purposes, Washington has

1062
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,240
Speaker 6: a chance. But I think of all the top teams today,

1063
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 6: I think the two safest are Oregon and Ohio State.

1064
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, in the last one, I feel probably gonna

1065
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 4: be on there on the same side on this one.

1066
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 4: Number three Texas on the road against Texas A and M.

1067
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 4: Absolute jeopardy for the Longhorns to lose this game out right.

1068
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 4: You could point to a number of factors, the atmosphere.

1069
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 4: Texas A and M absolutely needs this game to keep

1070
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 4: their playoff hopes alive. You look at winning on the

1071
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 4: road in the SEC. Goodness, look at last week Alabama

1072
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 4: got freaking smoked by Oklahoma. It's hard to win on

1073
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 4: the road in the SEC. Absolute jeopardy for hook them today, no.

1074
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 2: Doubt about it.

1075
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 5: I mean, the Agis are quirky enough to make this

1076
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 5: a real problem. They're unconventional, right Marcel Reid. I mean

1077
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 5: he's he's good. He can run that rpo game. They

1078
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 5: can hang with Texas, and I do think they are

1079
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 5: very much a live dog. So yeah, Texas and Jeopardy.

1080
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 6: A and M just needs to line up and play

1081
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 6: smash mouth football. I thought last week they got cute.

1082
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 6: I watched some of the film. They were running all

1083
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 6: these stunts and like, you know, weird stuff up front,

1084
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,280
Speaker 6: like they're so much better than Auburn in the trenches,

1085
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 6: but they kind of ran themselves out of.

1086
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 2: Some explosive runs.

1087
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 6: Defensively, I don't know if they can just line up

1088
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 6: and play, you know, one on one against Texas, but

1089
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 6: I think they need to be very physical and they

1090
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 6: need to kind of set a tone or else Texas

1091
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 6: is gonna go in there and and kind of lean

1092
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 6: on them, because that's what they do with that running game.

1093
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 6: So yes, obviously I'm not gonna say a five point

1094
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 6: home dog is not live, but I still think Texas

1095
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 6: one on one, man on man is better, and I

1096
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 6: think if they play up to that potential. I do

1097
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 6: think Texas goes in there and gets a win.

1098
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough, yet still still in still in jeopardy.

1099
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,400

Speaker 6: Find we get bowl games and conference championship weekend like

1116
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 6: we still have a lot.

1117
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 2: To look forward to.

1118
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 4: Oh, we do, and the playoff there's a lot. Oh yeah,

1119
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 4: a lot to look forward off. But the last full

1120
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 4: slate of the regular season. It might get emotional, might

1121
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,479
Speaker 4: get a little misty in here with Seamus up next,

1122
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 4: but he's on the way. It is Fox Sports Radios

1134
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Seamus.

1135
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 4: I can't believe this is the last full slate of

1136
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 4: the college football regular season.

1137
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 2: Is that not amazing to you?

1138
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 3: Also, time flies, guys, I mean, what a season it's been.

1139
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 3: It's pretty crazy. So yeah, it is a little wild

1140
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 3: that we're already on the doors of the conference championships

1141
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 3: next week.

1142
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 4: You know, let me ask you this real fast too, Seamus,

1143
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 4: because college football we see some of these, you know,

1144
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 4: like bloated point spreads, right like big point spreads in

1145
00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 4: the top ten.

1146
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 2: Is there anyone in the top where you're looking to.

1147
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm looking to lay nearly three touchdowns with Ohio

1148
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 4: State or nearly three touchdowns with Oregon. Is there anybody

1149
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 4: at the top that you're excited about laying the points with.

1150
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 3: I think it has to be Ohio State. If I

1151
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: was on the other side of the counter, I think

1152
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 3: they are going to try to really run up the

1153
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 3: score on Michigan today if they Can's a team where

1154
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 3: I don't think any player on Ohio State's beating Michigan.

1155
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 3: So there's that aspect, and I think they do want

1156
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 3: to go into the Big Ten championship game, you know,

1157
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 3: on a high note. So I feel more comfortable with

1158
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 3: Ohio State when you know, mince and I can have

1159
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 3: mice twenty where it's going now. But I will say

1160
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 3: the house does not want to see that happen. We

1161
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 3: don't need to see Michigan keep this close.

1162
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 6: You know, And that's a good, you know, transition into

1163
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 6: that game, because I am seeing some moving on the total.

1164
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 2: We heard Colston Lovelin will not play.

1165
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 6: That's like the weapon on Michigan's team. And from what

1166
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 6: I can recall now, the weather could change and it

1167
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 6: could you know, breeze itself out, but it is a

1168
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 6: little breezy in Columbus today, so we are seeing that

1169
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:06,919
Speaker 6: total dip a little bit.

1170
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 2: Do you think we're gonna see more under money before

1171
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 2: game time?

1172
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 3: Would it be shocked watching Michigan this year? It's just

1173
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 3: again going against this Ohio State defense as well. It's

1174
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 3: you know, the writing looks to be on the wall

1175
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 3: for this game. So I want to be shocked if

1176
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 3: we see more under money coming in Seamus.

1177
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 5: We were talking about top ten teams who could potentially

1178
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 5: take a tumble today. We we legislated it this way

1179
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 5: just so you know, we just said they're in jeopardy

1180
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 5: of potentially losing these games. So Tennessee taking on Vanderbilt, right,

1181
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 5: Miami taken on Syracuse, Texas taken on Texas A and

1182
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 5: M Of those three teams, Vandy, Syracuse and and m

1183
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 5: who would you say is the livest of those dogs?

1184
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: I think I gotta go with QS. Miami's already been

1185
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 3: pretty shaky in a lot of games this year, and

1186
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 3: you got to go. It's a big trip up to

1187
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 3: Syracuse and uh, you know, McCord's had a pretty solidary

1188
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 3: think outside of a few really bad games. But I

1189
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 3: think Syracuse can definitely give Miami a scare. But yet,

1190
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 3: don't sleep on Vanderbilt either. I mean, they've been giant

1191
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 3: killers this year.

1192
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 4: He's seamous McGee from bet MGM. Who else does bet

1193
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 4: MGM need today?

1194
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:22,439
Speaker 2: Right?

1195
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 4: Obviously the Wolverines. Who else needs to come up big

1196
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 4: for you guys.

1197
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 3: It's a lot of South Carolina money coming in today,

1198
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 3: a lot of faders of Clemson. It's been a trend

1199
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 3: really since that game against Louisville where they got blown out.

1200
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think South Carolina is going to be

1201
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 3: a bad result for the house here and a lot

1202
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 3: of you know, Vanderbilt we're talking about before, seems to

1203
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 3: be a public dog here. A lot of money is

1204
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 3: coming on the Vandy plus eleven and on the money line.

1205
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Vandy game.

1206
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 6: I feel like, if if Vandy can figure out a

1207
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 6: way to just times like they are time suckers, it

1208
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 6: is unbelievable. There were six possessions in that second half

1209
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 6: of the LSU v Andy game last week across the

1210
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 6: board like it is a kind of a way, is

1211
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 6: this the hardest week for you, Seamus? Because you have

1212
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 6: to figure the motivation, and the motivation is not baked

1213
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 6: into the power ratings, but there is obviously jockeying going on.

1214
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 6: And the one thing that I've noticed this week is

1215
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 6: you are paying a premium for the five win teams

1216
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 6: looking to get bowl eligible. Are there manual adjustments being

1217
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 6: made on the fly as we try to handicap motivation

1218
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 6: into the final week of the college football regular season

1219
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 6: from our side?

1220
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. I think you do have to take

1221
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 3: into account for a lot of games, even some teams

1222
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 3: where it's like, eh, season's kind of over already, like

1223
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 3: we just want the season to end. But yeah, I

1224
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 3: think I certainly have to bake it in. But then

1225
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 3: you have games like Virginia and Virginia Tech today where

1226
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 3: it's it's the eligible wins.

1227
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Like and all of a sudden, you have

1228
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,439
Speaker 5: a game like Auburn Alabama we're about to talk about

1229
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 5: where I mean this this is completely flipped, Like Alabama's

1230
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 5: playoff hopes are all but dashed. Auburn playing for a postseason.

1231
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 5: I mean, how do you even handicap a game like that.

1232
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you still have your ratings, you still hang

1233
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 3: a number, and then you let the market just tell

1234
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 3: you where to go. And like this was I think

1235
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 3: fourteen and a half, I think earlier in the week

1236
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 3: or flast week two, and big move towards Auburn. Auburn's

1237
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 3: been flying under the radar in the recent weeks. They

1238
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 3: started really slow, but I mean this defense really has

1239
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 3: really picked it up recently.

1240
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 4: Okay Seamus speaking of picking it up, Yes, recently the

1241
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 4: Shamus Special, right, Like, you're just a juggernaut, You're a force.

1242
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 4: I would like to say, of Seamus, what do you

1243
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 4: have for us today?

1244
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 3: I don't think in my life I've ever been called

1245
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 3: a juggernaut.

1246
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 2: You can check that right off the list there. Yeah. Absolutely.

1247
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, all week talking to my dad

1248
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 3: about this Virginia Virginia Tech game, and we do it

1249
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 3: every year as UVA fans. We're going to Blacksburg, there's

1250
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,439
Speaker 3: something on the line, and I'm like, we're just gonna

1251
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 3: get smoked. There's no way under the life of Blacksburg

1252
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 3: this team ever gets it done. I think they've won

1253
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 3: there in about thirty years. Uh. But you know, then

1254
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 3: I come into work, I talk myself into this team

1255
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 3: and then sharp money's coming in on Virginia through the seven.

1256
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, I've seen this movie,

1257
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 3: I've seen the sequel, I read the book, I saw

1258
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 3: the crappy TV show at Atation Virginia Tech minus six

1259
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 3: and a half.

1260
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 6: Wow, Wow, your happiness in the sports betting world.

1261
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is awesome, Seamous west Man, I hope you

1262
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 4: enjoyed the day and we'll catch you soon.

1263
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: Man, great stuff as always, see you guys. Thanks, thank you.

1264
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 4: There is Seamous McGee, team lead of sports trading at

1265
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 4: bet MGM. It's like Bill Krakenberger, our guy cracks. It's

1266
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 4: Hendy Capper. He'll be on countdown to kick off to

1267
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 4: and he says that my allegiance is to my bankroll.

1268
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 2: That's what he's saying. That's right.

1269
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so I respect that from Seamus saying, yeah,

1270
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 4: I love Virginia, lay the points and go with Virginia Tech.

1271
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 6: It's all a team or a matchup in a rivalry

1272
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 6: game like this where both teams were on five wins.

1273
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 6: I know, like it's almost like the double motivation, Like,

1274
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 6: does the motivation cancel each other out? Because both teams

1275
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 6: like it's such an interesting handicap. There is gonna be

1276
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 6: one team that will be much more prepared to handle

1277
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 6: those emotions.

1278
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 2: It'll be very it'll be a very volatile game. I think.

1279
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 4: By the way, guys, a couple of rivalry games here,

1280
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 4: So we dipped our big toe in.

1281
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 2: The big game.

1282
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 4: Michigan v Ohio State Ohio State nineteen and a half

1283
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 4: point favorites, probably gonna tick up a little bit more. Jared,

1284
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 4: you just mentioned this no Loveland for Michigan, and it.

1285
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 6: Kills because I gave out the over yesterday forty two

1286
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 6: and a half, and it looks like it's coming down

1287
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 6: forty one forty one and a half. But here's the thing.

1288
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 6: I went back and looked at the last ten meetings.

1289
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 6: They've all gone over and Ohio State has gone over

1290
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 6: the total themselves in two of those ten meetings. So

1291
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,959
Speaker 6: maybe Ohio State just says, screw it, we're dropping forty today.

1292
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,479
Speaker 2: We don't need Michigan to score. It's a really low

1293
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 2: total at forty one.

1294
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 4: It really could be like that, and you could look

1295
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 4: at all the little factors in here. Ohio State had

1296
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 4: a tough time running the ball last week against IU.

1297
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 2: They have all those O line injuries. Yeah, I mean, what.

1298
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 4: Was the quote you just mentioned there, Jared with Ryan Day,

1299
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 4: Ohio State head coach.

1300
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 6: Outside of my father dying, losing three straight games to

1301
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 6: Michigan's the worst thing that's ever happened in my life.

1302
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 4: That's basically all you need to know about how much

1303
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 4: this one means for the Bucks.

1304
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 5: And then also Michigan Davis Warren against an Ohio State

1305
01:05:56,120 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 5: defense that just eight Kurtis Rourkes lunch, They sacked him

1306
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 5: how many times was it five times? It was just

1307
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 5: they held that high powered Hoosiers offense to one fifty three?

1308
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 2: It was nuts. It was Chige held Indiana's the offense

1309
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 2: down too though. Yeah that is yeah, that's fair. Like

1310
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 2: that was a really tight game, right, what could have

1311
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 2: gone either way?

1312
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 4: Yep, second half I you could not move it. No, Yeah,

1313
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 4: I just I just don't see how they're not Michigan's

1314
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 4: not going to match points.

1315
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if they match.

1316
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 4: Points with the points spread factored in, you know what

1317
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like, Yeah, I don't know that they even

1318
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 4: do that here today.

1319
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 5: It's Uh, it is a tough game. But but again,

1320
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 5: rivalry games are weird. You know the Iron Bowl, Uh,

1321
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 5: this one. I mean anytime you have because what happens

1322
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 5: a lot and people don't realize this is when you

1323
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 5: are before you're a college football player. You're a recruit,

1324
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,439
Speaker 5: and depending on what family you grow up in. Uh,

1325
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 5: you know, college football is more or less important.

1326
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 2: Now.

1327
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 5: I mean typically in the households that produce a college

1328
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 5: football athlete, you're gonna have some allegiances. And there are

1329
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 5: I promise you disappointed former recruits that are current college

1330
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 5: football players on both of these rosters. Who was saying, man,

1331
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 5: if Ohio State would have recruited me, I would have

1332
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 5: been there. But with But I'm with this Michigan team

1333
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 5: that's got no playoff hopes. But you know what we

1334
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 5: can do today? We could beat the dog out of

1335
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 5: the buck Eyes and make it foreign a row. Like

1336
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 5: those type of things, they exist, they're real, and there's

1337
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 5: going to be a large contingent of visiting Wolverines fans,

1338
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 5: fans and family members of these players who felt jilted

1339
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 5: by an Ohio State team who are out for blood today.

1340
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 2: So how about the Bryce Underwood Factory. Yeah.

1341
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, like you know that was a big story this

1342
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 6: week and last week. You know, there's a lot of

1343
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 6: buzz in an arbor because of that. You know that

1344
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 6: can carry over to the field right where. It's like

1345
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 6: you have a couple of guys. I remember when it

1346
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,959
Speaker 6: for Penn State. It was when they got d Will.

1347
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a man, five star recruits coming here,

1348
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 2: like we're ready to go.

1349
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 6: Like that sifts through the rest of the locker room

1350
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 6: in the program, right it does.

1351
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 5: I mean, look, it's a confidence factor. I always say

1352
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 5: this about like about sports. To me, it's almost it

1353
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 5: almost feels like if you're a nightclub owner, you you

1354
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 5: almost you almost want the complaints like, oh the lines

1355
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 5: are too long. Yeah, like that those are the sort

1356
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 5: of complaints you want. It's like, you know, there there're

1357
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 5: gonna be a lot of you know, recruits who come

1358
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 5: to Ohio State over the next few years who say, yeah,

1359
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 5: I had to get out of there.

1360
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 2: I was going to wait too long to see the

1361
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 2: playing field.

1362
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 5: It's like that's a good problem to have, Like have

1363
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 5: people complaining that it's too cold outside when they're waiting

1364
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 5: on the line, on the line for your nightclub like it,

1365
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 5: because when you're in that club, when you're when you're

1366
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 5: getting the bottle service, when you're at the table and

1367
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 5: everybody on the outside is looking in, you feel special.

1368
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 5: So those are house or excuse me, those those Michigan players.

1369
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 5: All of a sudden, they haven't had a lot to

1370
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 5: really banty about and be excited for this season, but

1371
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 5: they're the former national champions and then all of a

1372
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 5: sudden they flip or recruit to be their next starting quarterback.

1373
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 5: That's a huge win, and all of a sudden, it

1374
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,679
Speaker 5: feels like you're important, You're in the club.

1375
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 4: Well rich you Also, you mentioned the Iron Bowl here,

1376
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 4: so if we dive into that a little bit more.

1377
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 4: Auburn at number thirteen Alabama and look, man, it's crazy

1378
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 4: the weeks that these teams are coming off of Auburn

1379
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 4: on a high, thrilling for overtime win against Texas A

1380
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 4: and m Alabama getting trucked by Oklahoma. The thing is, listen, Alabama.

1381
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 4: It might feel right now like, man, Alabama is really down,

1382
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 4: and they are. There is a different regime with Kaylin

1383
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 4: debor no more Nick Saban, but they're just inconsistent. The

1384
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 4: only point I'm making is Alabama isn't bad. They're just really,

1385
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 4: really inconsistent. So if you keep that in mind in

1386
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 4: today's matchup, where your gut feeling might be like, fade Bama, man,

1387
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 4: they are I don't know what's up with this team.

1388
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 4: They're just inconsistent. So good Bama could show up today.

1389
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 4: I would not be surprised at all if that's the case.

1390
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, they're inconsistency. This

1391
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 5: season is concerning. They're they're doing certain things that are

1392
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 5: odd to see Bama, like, for example, they're they're outside

1393
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 5: of the top fifty and rushing success rate. I mean

1394
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 5: that's a major dip. I mean, if you think about Alabama,

1395
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 5: you think about the number of running backs they've pumped

1396
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,959
Speaker 5: into the NFL and how that has been a steeple

1397
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 5: of their offensive program over the course of Saban's run there.

1398
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 5: It's really it's changed things. And as a result of that,

1399
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 5: their explosives are down because when you draw a lot

1400
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 5: of attention to the line of scrimmage, you can throw

1401
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 5: the ball over the head of a lot of defenses

1402
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 5: and and that that is that trademark or hallmark of

1403
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 5: the Crimson Tide offensive side of the ball has really withered.

1404
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 5: So it allows teams that probably shouldn't beat you to

1405
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 5: be able to beat you. And they're on upset watch today.

1406
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah they really are.

1407
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 6: But I will say this, like all like the ceiling

1408
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 6: for Bama is about whooping today for Auburn, Like if

1409
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 6: Alabama plays to the ceiling that we saw against LSU,

1410
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 6: Auburn's in for a long day. And the problem is,

1411
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 6: I have no idea what that emotion, what that vibe

1412
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 6: is going to be. Like I think the knock on

1413
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 6: Kalin to board this year has been the intensity level

1414
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 6: and he does not operate with the same intensity level

1415
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 6: as Nick Saban did. And while that different isn't always bad,

1416
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 6: I think in the case of Alabama, that professionalism and

1417
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 6: that intensity that Nick Saban operated with on a weekly

1418
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,640
Speaker 6: basis it fit the personality of what al Obama was.

1419
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,759
Speaker 6: And now Alabama going through a little bit of puberty

1420
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 6: changing their personality and it hasn't like that's why you've

1421
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 6: seen these just crazy and we've tried to break it down.

1422
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 6: X's and o's right, Like the run scheme was different

1423
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:12,919
Speaker 6: at Washington than it was at Bama.

1424
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 2: I think that might be a.

1425
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 6: Part of it, But I think the bigger part of it,

1426
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 6: the personality of this Alabama team is just not as

1427
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 6: professional and as intense as they were under Nick Saban,

1428
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 6: and that's why you're getting a little bit of the

1429
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 6: volatility with their performance week to week.

1430
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 4: Well, and you mentioned the Bama game against LSU and

1431
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 4: Jalen Milroe went crazy, yeah, running the ball in that game,

1432
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 4: and you have to wonder, like, what's Alabama's offense when

1433
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 4: he's held in check.

1434
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 2: Auburn's done a really good.

1435
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 4: Job against mobile quarterbacks this year, and think about last

1436
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 4: week against Oklahoma and where's Bama's offense if Jalen Milroe

1437
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 4: isn't making things happen with his legs and creating And

1438
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 4: that's what really keeps you off balance as a defense.

1439
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 4: If Milroe's doing his thing running the ball, and that

1440
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 4: opens up the passing game even more. You contain his legs.

1441
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 4: That sounds so weird to say you contain his running

1442
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,839
Speaker 4: ability that that Alabama offense looks completely different.

1443
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 5: YEA, yeah, yeah they do. I mean finding a way

1444
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 5: to contain him. It comes down to this, and you

1445
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 5: have to be disciplined, but penetration in the run game

1446
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:24,919
Speaker 5: is important. But also middling the quarterback, not over committing

1447
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,719
Speaker 5: to the run. If you have a defensive line who

1448
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 5: plays gap sound defense and can handle the handoff, you

1449
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 5: know the dive read so to speak, on that duel,

1450
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 5: that dual zone quarterback, inside zone quarterback, running back read play, well,

1451
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 5: then you can you can win this football game. It

1452
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 5: now easier said than done. But you have to have

1453
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 5: discipline out of your defensive line, especially your endplay, and

1454
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 5: you have to make open field tackles against Gellen Milrow

1455
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 5: have to. If you don't, he'll run all over you.

1456
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 5: If he makes the first man miss, there's not a

1457
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 5: lot behind them. So that that is That's what Oklahoma

1458
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 5: did all day long. They held him what was it

1459
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 5: fifteen carries seven yards on the ground. If you can

1460
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 5: do that, you can win this game.

1461
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 6: It's crazy because BAM is not going to make the playoff,

1462
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,759
Speaker 6: but they might have. Like I was grading the top

1463
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 6: five wins in college football this year, I think the

1464
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 6: number one win is Oregon over Ohio State. I think

1465
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 6: maybe second or third is BAM over Georgia. And they're

1466
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 6: not going to make the playoff.

1467
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy, no doubt.

Speaker 2: What's something you like?

1495
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 6: I am dedicating this segment to my favorite player in

1496
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 6: college football.

1497
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 2: It is Tyler Warren.

1498
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 6: He is an absolute unicorn. He to face Maryland today,

1499
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 6: who has been a SIEM all season defensively allowing almost

1500
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 6: thirty points per game. I don't like the touchdown prop

1501
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 6: because it's minus two tens. It's too juicy to bet that. Now,

1502
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 6: the two touchdown prop at plus two twenty five. Remember

1503
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 6: we hit that one on bryceons Daily last week at

1504
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 6: four to one. I would invest there.

1505
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 2: But the official, who did you hit that against? Who

1506
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 2: is he playing against them? That one he played Notre Dame.

1507
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 6: They only scored two touchdowns, and he scored both of them,

1508
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 6: just like we said he would, just like he did

1509
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 6: last week two weeks ago against North Texas. That was

1510
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 6: a fun Honestly, that was a perfect scenario for you, Brian,

1511
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 6: because we left the two touchdowns.

1512
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 4: That a smack him last minute of the game.

1513
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 2: That is there.

1514
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 4: I thought of you les.

1515
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 6: Is, but Tyler Warren like he's not going to make

1516
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 6: the Heids and podium, he's gonna win the Macki Award.

1517
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 2: But I think he.

1518
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 6: Deserves a ton of recognition this year for being one

1519
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 6: of the most verstatile players.

1520
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 2: In college football. He's had over one hundred yards in

1521
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 2: two straight games.

1522
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,759
Speaker 6: His receiving yard prop today is seventy seven and a half.

1523
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 2: Smash the over.

1524
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 6: Tyler Warren my favorite player in Ballpence State clinches a

1525
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 6: birth of the playoff and he has a big game.

1526
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 5: Okay, So Syracuse hosting Miami, a top ten team, I'm.

1527
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 2: All over Syracuse today.

1528
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 5: Kyle McCord clearing the passing yardage number of three twenty

1529
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 5: four and a half, I say, yes, take the over.

1530
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 5: Here's why he's done that. Eight of eleven games that

1531
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 5: he's played in so far this season has cleared that number. Also,

1532
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:31,759
Speaker 5: Miami's secondary shakey. Check out their explosive play rate. McCord

1533
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 5: can rip it. The secondary is soft. I like Kyle McCord.

1534
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 2: Going over the three twenty four and a half.

1535
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 4: I it's amazing the stats that Kansas running back Devin

1536
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:49,600
Speaker 4: Neil put up last week against kans Against Colorado. This

1537
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 4: isn't The guy had thirty seven carries, Wow, for two

1538
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 4: hundred and.

1539
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:58,719
Speaker 2: Seven yards and three touchdowns. That's just on the ground.

1540
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,760
Speaker 2: Receive it. Four catches for eighty yards in a touchdown.

1541
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 4: The guy had almost three hundred yards from scrimmage. He's

1542
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 4: taking on Baylor today and this again. You look at

1543
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 4: this and it's like wow, his rushing total is one

1544
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 4: ten and a half. He just rushed for two oh

1545
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 4: seven last week. I'm fading him. Baylor plays good rush defense.

1546
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 4: It has to be like stop Devin Neil is where

1547
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 4: the defensive game plan begins. It has to be he

1548
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 4: went freaking crazy last week.

1549
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 2: I think they do a good enough job keeping him

1550
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 2: in check.

1551
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,640
Speaker 4: Again, we're talking he's gotta get to one hundred and

1552
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 4: eleven rushing yards. That's not easy to come by. I'm

1553
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 4: gonna take the under on Devin Neil today.

1554
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 2: I love Baylor in the game to him. I think

1555
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 2: it's like the perfect spot for Baylor.

1556
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 6: Really right, everyone's gonna love Kansas like, Oh, it's that's

1557
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 6: a that's the that is the when I say the

1558
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 6: five win teams are overvalued, Kansas wrote favorite in that

1559
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 6: game at Bayley, A really good year eight three against the.

1560
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 4: Number I know it much and Kansas right, three straight

1561
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 4: wins against ranked teams.

1562
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 2: What do they have left in the tank? I know it,

1563
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 2: I know it. I'm parlaying all three of these prom

1564
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 2: because they're all. Yeah, I like that a lot. That's

1565
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 2: very cool.

1566
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you the guy that you love the

1567
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 4: most here, Jared Tyler Warren is unbelievable.

1568
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 2: He really is. That dude.

1569
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 4: He's gonna be fun to watch in the NFL as well. Yeah,

1570
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 4: he is gonna come it up next. This one could

1571
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 4: be a bit of a slugfest.

1572
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 2: We'll get to that next.

1573
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 4: Oh, welcome in here, getting you all set for a

1574
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 4: full slate of college football action. We're less than an

1575
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 4: hour away from kickoff here, We're less than an hour

1576
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 4: away from kickoff in this game in particular, number fifteen

1577
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 4: South Carolina against number twelve Clemson. Love the matchup and

1578
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 4: South Carolina they're just a lot of fun.

1579
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 2: You know.

1580
01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:02,679
Speaker 4: South Carolina can get after you with their their pass rush,

1581
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 4: their d line, and their offense can look really herky

1582
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:07,879
Speaker 4: jerky at times.

1583
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 2: They're a fun watch.

1584
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:13,879
Speaker 4: South Carolina is just it's gonna be rocky and pretty

1585
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 4: all in the same.

1586
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 5: Game, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, they're the

1587
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 5: definition of like they they can win ugly and they

1588
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 5: don't mind it. I mean, if you really boiled their

1589
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 5: season down to just a couple of plays in that

1590
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 5: game against LSU, a couple of plays against that game

1591
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 5: against Alabama, this could have been a completely different season

1592
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 5: for South Carolina. Defense has really led the way for them,

1593
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 5: but they've done just enough in some important games where

1594
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 5: they've been in the conversation to potentially have CFP aspirations.

1595
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 5: Now Clemson on the other side of this, all of

1596
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:54,719
Speaker 5: a sudden, they're back in play for the ACC.

1597
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 2: They need some more chaos.

1598
01:20:56,320 --> 01:21:00,080
Speaker 5: They got some chaos last week, but they're they're look

1599
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 5: him for that that Syracuse upset over Miami to and

1600
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,680
Speaker 5: then a win today against South Carolina to have a

1601
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 5: chance here. But man, everything that's happened leading up to

1602
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 5: this game has created a vibe that wow, this is

1603
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 5: this is actually an elimination game.

1604
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 2: This this game has real stakes. Yeah, and I love

1605
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 2: the fact that we get all these games.

1606
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 6: I mean, actually, the early there's a lot of really

1607
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 6: good games really early today, Like we're gonna know by

1608
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 6: like three o'clock, three thirty Eastern a lot of these results, there's.

1609
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 2: Not as many good games late.

1610
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 6: But the match up here to watch is obviously South

1611
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 6: Carolina's defensive line, who has two just NFL caliber studs,

1612
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 6: like absolute rock stars on the edge, against Clemson's offensive line,

1613
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 6: which is reeling. They have been pressed in so many

1614
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 6: areas on the offensive line, Trent Howard, who's been a

1615
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 6: backup for pretty much an entire career towards ACL last week.

1616
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 2: They're relying on like third string old linemen for clemb

1617
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 2: this week.

1618
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,679
Speaker 6: Like it is, this is not the team you want

1619
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 6: to face when you are really thin on the offensive line.

1620
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 6: But that being said, as as Brian alluded to, and

1621
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 6: he's right, like Leonardo Seller's in this offense, it can

1622
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 6: be a little clunky sometimes.

1623
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 2: And I've seen this story before with Clemson where we're.

1624
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 6: Kind of pushing them aside and that Clemson's no good

1625
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden they give you that

1626
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 6: one patented Dabbo performance. I don't think Clemson's future is

1627
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 6: very bright in this new era of college football, but

1628
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 6: this is a game over the last decade or so

1629
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 6: that they've tended to win when their backs are against

1630
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 6: the wall and they're facing a rivalry game and they

1631
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:43,640
Speaker 6: just they feel they handle that pressure because Dabo is

1632
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 6: at his core, is still a really good coach. I

1633
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 6: know the transfer portal stuff, and you know, you can

1634
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 6: knock them for that, but at his core, he's a

1635
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 6: good football coach that usually has his team prepared to

1636
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,799
Speaker 6: play these games emotionally. And I think that's where Clemson

1637
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 6: has an edge in this game. I think they're a

1638
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 6: little bit more even keeled. Despite the fact that there's

1639
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 6: a big edge for South Carolina upfront defensively, I still

1640
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 6: think Clemson will handle the emotions of this game a

1641
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 6: little bit better.

1642
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 4: I love the matchup and that's my biggest question is

1643
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 4: when you think about this South Carolina pass rush, what

1644
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 4: do you do to try to slow it down?

1645
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 2: You run the ball? Yep? Can you like that?

1646
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 4: I love film offa but this offensive line, like you're

1647
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 4: talking about Jared, it's so banged up. If you're Clemson,

1648
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 4: can you run the ball consistently? Because if South Carolina

1649
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 4: their answer is no, you can't, well, then all of

1650
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 4: a sudden you're playing into their hand when you're in

1651
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 4: obvious passing situations in South Carolina with that pass rush,

1652
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 4: they can just pin their ears back.

1653
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 2: So that's my thing. Can you be like a.

1654
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:49,599
Speaker 4: Balanced attack offensively, or if that ground game is really

1655
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 4: held in check, that that just plays right into South

1656
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:53,639
Speaker 4: Carolina's hand.

1657
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:55,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it really does. Well.

1658
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:59,760
Speaker 5: Look Clemson, I think the backbone of their offense has

1659
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 5: been their run game, the one hundred yard performances by

1660
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:08,799
Speaker 5: MafA throughout the season. He's had better than half, probably

1661
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 5: six games where he's gone over one hundred yards this season.

1662
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 5: He's been very productive out of the backfield. And Kay

1663
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 5: Klubnick he can do that too. You know, he's no

1664
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 5: slouch in the run game also, so you do have

1665
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 5: a little bit of a double headed monster.

1666
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 2: And you're right, Brian.

1667
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 5: The best way to neutralize bookend pass rushers who create

1668
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 5: a lot of havoc, We love that word on this show.

1669
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 5: You have to run the ball up underneath them. You

1670
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 5: have to take them out of the game. Also, you

1671
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 5: can win in the screen game. You can win. In

1672
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 5: the QB draw game, you can win. You can win

1673
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 5: if you stay in manageable situations where you're second and manageable,

1674
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 5: third and five and under, you can really do things

1675
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 5: to screw with the tempo of the game. You know,

1676
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 5: go hurry up a few times, you know, catch these

1677
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 5: these South Carolina The defenders, especially on the defensive line

1678
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 5: tired at times. You know, you can you can do things,

1679
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 5: but you have to stay on schedule, and that's the

1680
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 5: most important thing. And how do you stay on schedule?

1681
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,680
Speaker 5: Typically early down success in the run game. We'll see

1682
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 5: if Clemson can pull it off.

1683
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 6: It's crazy, because have we given Clemson like they lost.

1684
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 6: They got their butts kicked by Georgia in the first

1685
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 6: game of the year, and we dis missed Clempson. And

1686
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 6: then they went on a nice little runt where they

1687
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 6: actually you know, covered a bunch of numbers and you know,

1688
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:29,759
Speaker 6: beat them, I don't.

1689
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 2: Want to say good teams and wake Florida State Virginia.

1690
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 6: And then we're like, hey, Clemson's back in the conversation here, right,

1691
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 6: They've won all their games, They've handled their business, and

1692
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 6: then they lay the egg against Louisville at home, like

1693
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 6: an absolute egg. They were ten and al point favorites.

1694
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 6: They lost by twelve. They didn't cover the number by

1695
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 6: twenty two points.

1696
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 5: And you would think that's where the party stops for.

1697
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 2: Them, exactly. But then it's the same story. We dismiss them.

1698
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 6: They go on the road, they beat Virginia Tech, they

1699
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 6: beat Pitt even though they're shorthanded, couldn't cover the number

1700
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 6: at Pitt. And then last week, of course, they had

1701
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 6: the you know, the cake against Citadel. But guys, Clemson

1702
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 6: is a win away from maybe getting to the a

1703
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 6: CC Championship game, maybe get into the playoff. Maybe, you know,

1704
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 6: the a SEC is starting to get a little bit

1705
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 6: of clout because SMU has had a really good year,

1706
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 6: and of course Miami's been fantastic. Quietly, quietly, Clemson could

1707
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 6: make the playoff, like out of nowhere, like the back door,

1708
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 6: you know, the back door spread that you didn't think

1709
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 6: it was ever gonna happen.

1710
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, the team just sneaks right in.

1711
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 6: There's Clemson just waiting to get in the playoff and

1712
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 6: just ruin everyone's day.

1713
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 2: How about that? I like the new term, the back

1714
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 2: door birth. There you go, how about that? The back

1715
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 2: door playoffs.

1716
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 6: Nobody thought Clemson was making the playoff after they lost

1717
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 6: to Louisville.

1718
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 4: Yeah three weeks ago, right yeah, And looking at the

1719
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 4: prop bets on this in this matchup, is film Maffa

1720
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,840
Speaker 4: is at ninety four and a half rushing yards, you know,

1721
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 4: and you think about that banked up offensive line. Again,

1722
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 4: they're gonna be committed. Clemson's gonna be committed to the

1723
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 4: running game. But man, if you're South Carolina, if you

1724
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 4: can just slow that down advantage you you know. Yeah,

1725
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 4: and Clubnick, it's always interesting we always talk about these

1726
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 4: quarterback rushing prop bets because of course, the sack yardage

1727
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 4: counts against the quarterbacks rushing total, which makes no sense.

1728
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 4: But whatever, Club Nick's at thirty one and a half

1729
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 4: rushing yards.

1730
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,640
Speaker 2: That's he's got the ability to cover that.

1731
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 4: But when the sackyards count against you facing that pass

1732
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 4: rush in particular, that's a scary over right there.

1733
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's rough.

1734
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 5: I mean, going back to the original assessment Jared gave

1735
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 5: us also about Clemson's offensive line being beat up and

1736
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 5: the South Carolina defensive line, like you pointed out, Brian

1737
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:44,680
Speaker 5: being really the feature piece of the team. Football is

1738
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 5: a passing game, now, there's no question about it. The

1739
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 5: rules have changed to benefit wide receivers and quarterbacks. To

1740
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 5: put up video game numbers on a weekly basis if

1741
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 5: you got some good ones, but it's still a line

1742
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 5: of scrimmage sport. It's still one in the trenches. You

1743
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 5: still have to best the man in front of you

1744
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,439
Speaker 5: on the majority of snaps to give your team a shot.

1745
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 5: And I'm talking about both defense and offensive line, and

1746
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 5: so edge South Carolina. So it feels it feels to

1747
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 5: me like even though Clemson has snuck back into playoff contention,

1748
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 5: so to speak, they need help. They need big help today,

1749
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 5: especially from Syracuse. It does feel like they're they're overmatched here,

1750
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:30,839
Speaker 5: especially upfront, and that does not bode well for their chances.

1751
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 2: People are gonna be so mad when Clemson makes the playoffs.

1752
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 2: They will be very mad.

1753
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone's gonna be like SEC this, SEC that, Notre Dame,

1754
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 6: pet State, Oregon, last date, here comes Clemson facts or bird.

1755
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there it is. Isn't it crazy? Though?

1756
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 4: How quickly things change? Think about I would say three teams, Bama, Clemson,

1757
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 4: Let's start with that and then get to Georgia.

1758
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 2: Where before Georgia kicked.

1759
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 4: It into gear and won back to back championships, it

1760
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 4: was Alabama and Clemson.

1761
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 2: Look at where both of those teams are.

1762
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 4: We're talking about Clemson, the back door birth of a

1763
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 4: twelve team playoff. Yeah, you know what I mean. And

1764
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 4: they're up from where they were last year. And now

1765
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:19,960
Speaker 4: we look at Bama new era with Kellen de Boor

1766
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 4: and they got House twite, an Oklahoma team that's right

1767
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 4: at five hundred.

1768
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 2: They scored three points against Oklahoma, you know what I mean.

1769
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 4: It's crazy how quickly things change in college football. And

1770
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 4: we're talking about powers like national championship winning powers in

1771
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:43,759
Speaker 4: Bama and Clemson, and we're talking about potential backdoor berths

1772
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 4: with both of them.

1773
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

1774
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 5: Well, and what's wild about everything you just said is

1775
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,799
Speaker 5: for Clemson, it's happened with the same guy at the helm.

1776
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:53,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1777
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 5: For Alabama, Nick Saban, he jumped ship. And don't get

1778
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 5: me wrong, I'm not saying that like, oh my god,

1779
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 5: Saban he should be there, should be really be helping

1780
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 5: the Crimson tide. He's done enough. I mean, he's put

1781
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 5: Tuscaloose on the map again.

1782
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 2: You know.

1783
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 5: So this is no condemnation to Nick Saban. He was

1784
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 5: a special coach. But we could have seen the same

1785
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 5: thing happening to Alabama this year with Saban at the

1786
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 5: Helm as what we've seen over the years at Clemson

1787
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:25,719
Speaker 5: with Dabbo at the helm because the volatility of college

1788
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 5: football right now it is such that it doesn't matter

1789
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:32,559
Speaker 5: who you are, it doesn't matter how great your program

1790
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:36,719
Speaker 5: has been in the past. The volatility of this recruitment market,

1791
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 5: this transfer portal market, name, image and likeness has flipped

1792
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:42,960
Speaker 5: everything on its ear. And so this is a year

1793
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:50,480
Speaker 5: to year business now. Consistency, reliability on brands and programs

1794
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 5: and cultures that has gone out the window because you

1795
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 5: can I mean, Signetti is the perfect example at Indiana,

1796
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:03,559
Speaker 5: since when Indiana going to Ohio State late in the

1797
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 5: season really grabbed the nation's interest.

1798
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 2: But that's what this, that's what this.

1799
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 5: This, this new era of football has brought an opportunity

1800
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 5: for any team to come out of nowhere, an opportunity

1801
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 5: to see giants fall like we've seen several times over

1802
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 5: this football season.

1803
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:26,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, unless it's Bobby Knight. Really think, unless he's on

1804
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 2: the sideline.

1805
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't really think Indiana going to Columbus is

1806
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:34,799
Speaker 6: gonna cause that much attention. All these teams are flawed.

1807
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,320
Speaker 6: I think that's the one thing that I've learned this season.

1808
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:41,919
Speaker 6: But we are starting to see the value of coaching.

1809
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 6: For example, Georgia Georgia this year has trailed in seven

1810
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:47,800
Speaker 6: of ten games to power conference teams four straight. They

1811
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 6: erased the twenty eight nothing deficit at Bama. They were

1812
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 6: down ten to Tennessee, down seventeen to Georgia. Tech like,

1813
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 6: but coaching being able to steady the shit, having a

1814
01:31:58,439 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 6: little bit.

1815
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 2: Of moxie matters more than just the talent.

1816
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 6: Where in years past, Georgia could just line it up

1817
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 6: and run past you. Ohio State could just line it

1818
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 6: up and run past you. Same thing with Alabama and

1819
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 6: all these other powerhouses. But there is a little bit

1820
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 6: more nuance to college football now because of all of

1821
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 6: these added variables, and it changes the mentality. You have

1822
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 6: to have a championship mentality. You have to be buttoned

1823
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,320
Speaker 6: up on the mental side of the game because the

1824
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,840
Speaker 6: physical side of the game is much more of an

1825
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:30,880
Speaker 6: even playing field.

1826
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:32,880
Speaker 2: And Brian, you alluded to it. You love it.

1827
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 6: I love it too. It makes the surface level handicap

1828
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 6: not as valuable. You have to get underneath and say,

1829
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 6: what is the mentality of this team. That's why this

1830
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 6: Clemson South Carolina game is fascinating. On the surface, South

1831
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:47,120
Speaker 6: Carolina has a huge edge in the most important element

1832
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:49,799
Speaker 6: of the game, rushing the pass or defensive line trenches.

1833
01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 6: But let's be honest, South Carolina's mentality is not yet.

1834
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 6: I'll call it even or polished in this moment because

1835
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 6: Clemson's been there before and they've got a little bit

1836
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:02,960
Speaker 6: more of a edge in these games. And that's why

1837
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 6: I think Clemson wins today. But it does make these

1838
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 6: games much more intriguing because it's not as simple as

1839
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 6: who has better players anymore. There is an added layer

1840
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:15,800
Speaker 6: to it, that championship mentality that really matters absolutely.

1841
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 4: That's Jared Smith FSR betting analyst Rich Ornberger with us

1842
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 4: Penn State All American. I'm probably in no throughout the

1843
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,720
Speaker 4: entire football season, BETMGM will offer all different types of

1844
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 4: boost tokens. Be on the lookout for a same game

1845
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:32,479

1862
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:32,720
Speaker 4: number five Notre Dame at USC, So this is what

1863
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:36,920
Speaker 4: a three thirty pm Eastern kick. Notre Dame ten and one.

1864
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 4: If they win this game, they're in the college football

1865
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:43,360
Speaker 4: playoff and what a great spot for USC to play.

1866
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:44,439
Speaker 2: Spoiler in this one.

1867
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 4: This would make their season if they're able to take

1868
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 4: down the Irish and prevent them from getting to the playoff.

1869
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 4: Tell me if I'm crazy on this one. Because the

1870
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 4: total has ticked up two points. It opened at fifty

1871
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:58,559
Speaker 4: and a half, it's up to fifty two and a half.

1872
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 4: I mean I'm just open to the possibility that I'm

1873
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 4: wrong here, but I don't quite get it. Do you

1874
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 4: think USC is gonna score a decent amount of points

1875
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,120
Speaker 4: on Notre Dame's defense. Notre Dame plays really solid defense,

1876
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 4: and this Notre Dame passing attack is not very good

1877
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 4: at all. They can run the ball, for sure, but

1878
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 4: USC's defense has improved. I just don't understand this much

1879
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 4: movement on the over. Am I wrong on this one?

1880
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 5: I look, USC scoring in bunches against Notre Dame is

1881
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 5: a tall task. I believe more in this quarterback than

1882
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 5: I did what we've seen earlier this season. I think

1883
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:40,840
Speaker 5: a lot of pressure has been taken off the running

1884
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 5: game because USC is more capable of getting getting more.

1885
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:51,680
Speaker 5: I guess pushing the ball down the field is the

1886
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,599
Speaker 5: first part, Like the deep part of the field for

1887
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:56,920
Speaker 5: the Trojans has been a part of the game that

1888
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:58,080
Speaker 5: has been missing.

1889
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 2: Am I ave at least can do that, you know?

1890
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 5: And then the other part of it is he's difficult

1891
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 5: to defend at the line of scrimmage because his escapability,

1892
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,599
Speaker 5: and there's some other factors involved in the run game

1893
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 5: that they've started incorporating him more.

1894
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:16,759
Speaker 2: But I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't trust

1895
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:17,639
Speaker 2: the over here.

1896
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:20,799
Speaker 5: I mean, even with the number tacking up, it doesn't

1897
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:22,719
Speaker 5: feel like this is going to be one of those

1898
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 5: games where Wow, you know that we're not going to

1899
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:29,640
Speaker 5: be turning off the television be and saying to ourselves like,

1900
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 5: didn't expect to shootout, but Notre Dame narrowly survives, you know,

1901
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 5: forty eight forty two.

1902
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I just don't see that being the way

1903
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:42,200
Speaker 2: this goes. I would be surprised if we saw that

1904
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 2: kind of game.

1905
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 6: I think again, it's more I maybe boken chime in.

1906
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:48,759
Speaker 2: Here is meler Roll's gonna play tonight?

1907
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:53,799
Speaker 6: Like if he is, I like you, no, no chance,

1908
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 6: like zero chance he gets any action for that.

1909
01:36:58,800 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 2: Contribution.

1910
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:04,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, beautiful to the man of few words. No, I

1911
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:11,000
Speaker 6: mean I think the matchup like if you were, I

1912
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 6: would put Miller mosson tonight. I honestly would. I just

1913
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 6: I don't think or let's leave it at this. I'd

1914
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:18,960
Speaker 6: start my abba, I would run your offense. I would

1915
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:21,880
Speaker 6: try to do something positive and if that doesn't work,

1916
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 6: I would go to Miller Moss.

1917
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 8: Mayava also just flat out hasn't really been great with

1918
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 8: USC to the degree where I think people expect them

1919
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:32,519
Speaker 8: to be so. Maybe, But if I'm Miller Moss, I

1920
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 8: don't think I'm going back out there after getting benched

1921
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 8: mid season's.

1922
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,879
Speaker 6: By the way, but haven't we seen guys get benched

1923
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 6: and come back and play well like Barce Young like it?

1924
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:43,240
Speaker 2: Like? Are we just completely out on Miller Moss completely?

1925
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:45,439
Speaker 2: Like he's still I think he.

1926
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 6: Offers more upside in this matchup because Notre Dame's weakness

1927
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 6: is the secondary and he could throw the ball down

1928
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 6: the field.

1929
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:56,639
Speaker 4: By the way, Since you're here right now or trusted producer,

1930
01:37:56,680 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 4: what's your official prediction on this Notre Dame USC.

1931
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:04,640
Speaker 8: Notre Dame's going to win this game. I'm sorry I agree.

1932
01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:08,240
Speaker 6: With that assessment. But I also think if I'm grading

1933
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 6: this game from like a matchup perspective, I want someone

1934
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:13,719
Speaker 6: who can push the ball down the field and test

1935
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 6: these Notre Dame corners.

1936
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think. I think the issue with Miller Moss

1937
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 8: is that he is, like legitimately just a statue in

1938
01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:22,000
Speaker 8: the pocket, and Lincoln Riley's offense needs a quarterback that

1939
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:24,640
Speaker 8: can at least move the ball or move move his

1940
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 8: legs a little bit. I'll be interested to see how

1941
01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 8: much you know, USC runs the ball, because last week

1942
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 8: they were averaging like six yards per carry and as

1943
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:34,240
Speaker 8: soon as they got into the red zone, it was

1944
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 8: goal line fade, goal line fade, goal line fade, and

1945
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:37,679
Speaker 8: three and out each time.

1946
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:39,680
Speaker 5: So we'll see, Yeah, you gotta be good in the

1947
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 5: red zone. You know, here's the thing. Notre Dame. They're

1948
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 5: just the better team in this matchup. And I think

1949
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 5: that if Notre Dame went by a different name one

1950
01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 5: loss heading into this final game against USC, like if

1951
01:38:56,840 --> 01:39:01,599
Speaker 5: they were a one loss Ohio State team, we would

1952
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 5: be looking at this very differently. Notre Dame is the

1953
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 5: most well rounded team in the country in my opinion.

1954
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:12,439
Speaker 5: I mean, they do they do nothing poorly. I think

1955
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,719
Speaker 5: they do everything well enough, and so I just there's

1956
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 5: no way I could see them faltering here when so

1957
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 5: much is riding on this victory, and it's so late

1958
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 5: in the season. You know, you've had the turbulence early on,

1959
01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 5: You've rebounded well. There have been some close wins. I'm

1960
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 5: not saying they're gonna blow the doors off of USC,

1961
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:33,559
Speaker 5: but I could see it. I could see that more

1962
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:38,040
Speaker 5: than it being a close loss for the Golden Domers.

1963
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 5: I just don't really see a way where USC, regardless

1964
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 5: of who they start or play a quarterback, finding a

1965
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:51,560
Speaker 5: way to finding a way to steal this one essentially

1966
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 5: away from Notre Dame. I'm not saying the game's won already,

1967
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 5: but it's a decidedly heavy lean toward Notre Dame.

1968
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:02,559
Speaker 4: Interesting, Rich, I hope this isn't like the old miss

1969
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,439
Speaker 4: kiss of death, you know, for like a second straight week,

1970
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying on.

1971
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 2: The Yeah, yeah, my god, I hope that's that's the case.

1972
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 2: But but but no, I hear you.

1973
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:18,320
Speaker 4: And that's interesting, Rich, where sometimes the brand name can

1974
01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:21,639
Speaker 4: work against you, because we've seen it in the college

1975
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:25,759
Speaker 4: football rankings where take a team like Penn State before

1976
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:29,720
Speaker 4: Indiana lost to Ohio State. It's like, why why is

1977
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:33,559
Speaker 4: Penn State ranked ahead of Indiana who's unbeaten right now?

1978
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 3: Right?

1979
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,920
Speaker 4: And I think this your point with Notre Dame is

1980
01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 4: where the brand name can work against you, Right, Like

1981
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 4: if I you had the exact same schedule as Notre

1982
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 4: Dame to this point where they go in, they beat

1983
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:48,960
Speaker 4: Texas A and M on the road, Yeah, you lose

1984
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 4: to Northern Illinois, which is embarrassing. But you beat a

1985
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 4: ranked Louisville team, you truck a ranked Navy team, you

1986
01:40:56,280 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 4: truck a ranked Army team. If that's Indiana, you're at

1987
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:03,280
Speaker 4: it like man, really solid season by the Hoosiers. But

1988
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 4: Notre Dame, who has a history and some mystique and

1989
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:08,639
Speaker 4: all that stuff, we look at it and like, who

1990
01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 4: have you played? Desk Davis hold right. I think that's

1991
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 4: where the big brand name can work against you.

1992
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:20,160
Speaker 5: And I think that I also think that USC their

1993
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:24,200
Speaker 5: their recent brand. I don't want to say it's stronger,

1994
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 5: but you know Lincoln Riley what he did with Caleb

1995
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 5: Williams just two seasons ago, there was so much excitement

1996
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 5: around the program Notre Dame.

1997
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 2: You know what it is?

1998
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 5: What Notre Dame has been lacking, maybe in my entire lifetime,

1999
01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 5: is flash. Like they haven't had like a sexy offense yet.

2000
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:49,120
Speaker 5: They haven't had like the quarterback who paints his nails

2001
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 5: and throws for four hundred and fifty yards and four

2002
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 5: touchdowns and rushes in for another one. Like they haven't,

2003
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,519
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, like like there's just there

2004
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 5: but but but it's true though, Like Caleb Williams, I

2005
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 5: mean he was a polarizing, sexy character in college football.

2006
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 2: He got the people excited. Notre Dame.

2007
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 5: It's always like, hey, listen, we're gonna pay in our

2008
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 5: helmets gold, We're gonna show up with our lunch pals.

2009
01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 5: We're gonna play sturdy defense, our offense, boy, our run game.

2010
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:22,719
Speaker 5: Let me let me tell you about some consistent effort

2011
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 5: up front in the And it's just like, yeah, it's

2012
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 5: fun to if you're a Notre Dame fan to watch

2013
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:32,639
Speaker 5: your team win. But isn't sexy. It's it's it's it's

2014
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:36,760
Speaker 5: a it's a brand r. It's it's like it's like

2015
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:41,599
Speaker 5: trusted reliability. It's it's gonna be right.

2016
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 2: It's so true.

2017
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:46,720
Speaker 4: But think think about the NFL guys that are in

2018
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 4: the right from from the end, from Notre Dame. It's

2019
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 4: what is it. It's some handful of defensive guys. It's

2020
01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:57,240
Speaker 4: old linement and it's tight ends. That's what it is, right.

2021
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 2: Nelson. But so Michael Mayer at tight End and all

2022
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 2: these guys. But Michael Mayers.

2023
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:08,640
Speaker 6: Had unbelievable Actually Bowers had the better year both of

2024
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:10,680
Speaker 6: those tight ends. You know what's funny because our on

2025
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 6: our on our morning Show two pros Cup of Joe

2026
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 6: Brady Quinn one of the promos I always hear them

2027
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 6: play on the on the airs, I'll give you the

2028
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 6: best handoffs you've ever seen, and like, like, that's kind

2029
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 6: of what it is. I love you, Brady, you're the man,

2030
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 6: but that's kind of what it is.

2031
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 5: Technically, handoffs are like are like no yard passes, I

2032
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:28,720
Speaker 5: mean technically, but but.

2033
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:32,519
Speaker 4: The richest point, who are the Notre Dame quarterbacks in

2034
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:36,480
Speaker 4: the NFL? Who are the Notre Dame UH wide receivers

2035
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:41,680
Speaker 4: right in there? Right that rocket right rocker? Yeah, yeah,

2036
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:44,040
Speaker 4: Quadrius Syracuse guys. Oh yeah, that's right, that's right, I

2037
01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:47,519
Speaker 4: got yeah. But yeah, it hasn't been a whole lot

2038
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 4: of flash. You're totally right about that. And I wonder

2039
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,559
Speaker 4: if Notre Dame survives, we might see those limitations in

2040
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:54,160
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

2041
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bettis, that's the first. That's another guy I just

2042
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:57,000
Speaker 2: bopped in the mind.

2043
01:43:58,720 --> 01:44:00,840
Speaker 5: But but you know what, like like, don't get me wrong,

2044
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:03,960
Speaker 5: consistency and reliability it works. Like I mean, if we

2045
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 5: go back and we think about all the Alabama quarterbacks

2046
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 5: who've come out of that program under Nick Saban, how

2047
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 5: many of them have really been massively successful.

2048
01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 2: I mean tua tua to mix results yah hurts. Yeah,

2049
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 2: I mean like kind of the same class too, is ironically.

2050
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, like yeah, exactly right. They would kind of overlap.

2051
01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 5: So so it was one year or maybe a two

2052
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:28,559
Speaker 5: year span where they really pumped out two guys.

2053
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 2: But it's like McElroy and aj.

2054
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:34,880
Speaker 6: Mccers game I love those guys, but game manager City.

2055
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,160
Speaker 5: But but what they were able to do or they

2056
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 5: were able to counterbalance out with a couple of huge

2057
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 5: name wide receivers who came out, you know, because but

2058
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 5: for the most part that Alabama was Notre Dame of

2059
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:46,840
Speaker 5: the South.

2060
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:50,799
Speaker 2: They were just old, reliable, really well balanced.

2061
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 5: And that's the why I feel about That's the way

2062
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 5: I feel about Notre Dame this year. I mean, it's

2063
01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 5: not sexy, but man is it effective.

2064
01:44:57,439 --> 01:44:58,639
Speaker 2: It really it's fun too.

2065
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:01,240
Speaker 6: If they went today, they're whole in a playoff game, yeah,

2066
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:05,400
Speaker 6: they are, like and rich. I think Penn State is

2067
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 6: in the same boat. Like I did not have these

2068
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:10,200
Speaker 6: things on my Bengal card heading into the season. No

2069
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 6: Notre Dame Penn State hosting playoff games.

2070
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 4: Can I whine for a second, but say, you guys

2071
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 4: tell me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think

2072
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 4: I am at all. And this might sound like Notre

2073
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,920
Speaker 4: Dame bias, but I can put that allegiance to the

2074
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 4: side and tell you, honestly, this is how I would feel.

2075
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 4: It's garbage that Notre Dame is not eligible for a

2076
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 4: first round by. And this is the reason why they

2077
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 4: look at it, and they say, well, they're not in

2078
01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:35,719
Speaker 4: a conference, they don't play a conference championship game. Therefore

2079
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 4: they're not eligible for a first round by. And on

2080
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 4: the surface, that might make sense to you, but if

2081
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:42,280
Speaker 4: you dive into that a little bit more, it makes

2082
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:48,000
Speaker 4: zero sense whatsoever. Notre Dame made the four team playoff twice.

2083
01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:51,479
Speaker 4: It wasn't a problem that they weren't in a conference

2084
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:53,479
Speaker 4: play a conference championship game.

2085
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:55,679
Speaker 2: They were one of four playoff teams.

2086
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden it's an issue and

2087
01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:00,680
Speaker 4: they can't have a first round by when it's a

2088
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:05,240
Speaker 4: twelve team playoff. That makes no sense whatsoever. If Notre

2089
01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:09,559
Speaker 4: Dame is ranked high enough, they should be in a

2090
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 4: first round by. They should have a first round by.

2091
01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:16,600
Speaker 4: Should I should we prop up Boise State? No for

2092
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 4: winning a trash conference? Sorry Rich for winning a lower

2093
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 4: tiered conference, right, Like, really, so if you beat UNLV

2094
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 4: or whatever your conference championship game is, that that's that's

2095
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:34,280
Speaker 4: better than not It's not automatically better. I don't know

2096
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 4: why Notre Dame's not eligible for a first round by

2097
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:37,599
Speaker 4: that sucks.

2098
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:41,479
Speaker 5: I completely agree with this take, and and it is

2099
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:45,920
Speaker 5: nothing against the competition in the Mountain West. I mean,

2100
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 5: it's it just is what it is. I mean, there

2101
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 5: there are tiers to this thing, you know what I mean.

2102
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:56,240
Speaker 5: And just like in baseball, you have the major leagues

2103
01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:58,720
Speaker 5: and then you have the miners. Like if if we're

2104
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 5: going to be perfectly honest with each other about what

2105
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 5: it would look like if baseball was split into conferences

2106
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 5: based on what the visions there are, and the minor

2107
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 5: leagues got a champion into a postseason bracket every year,

2108
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:16,640
Speaker 5: guess what that team would lose every year. And so,

2109
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 5: don't get me wrong, I think Ashton Genty is an

2110
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 5: incredible story, and I think that what Boise State has

2111
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:25,479
Speaker 5: done over the course of their regular season has been

2112
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:28,880
Speaker 5: impressive and continues to impress me what they've been up to.

2113
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:34,559
Speaker 5: But against Ohio State, against Notre Dame, I mean, I

2114
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 5: guess we'll see their metal tested at that level. But

2115
01:47:38,080 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 5: I just don't know how you could see them higher

2116
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:44,599
Speaker 5: than some of these other teams based on their strength

2117
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 5: of schedule.

2118
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:46,639
Speaker 2: I just don't There're gonna.

2119
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 6: Be a three touchdown dog if they play Ohio State.

2120
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 6: That's great, Like it's just it's insane. I think there's

2121
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:58,559
Speaker 6: two things here. First, I think the committee with these

2122
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 6: rules is boxing themselves into a corner because of the

2123
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:04,720
Speaker 6: way that these rankings are playing out. And I do

2124
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 6: think we will get some reform with these nuanced rules

2125
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 6: about the byes and the seedings.

2126
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:10,960
Speaker 2: And it's like.

2127
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 6: Poor Rhys Davis is like trying to do this on

2128
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 6: the fly during the show and he's like, I don't

2129
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:16,880
Speaker 6: even know where these teams are going, Like this team's here.

2130
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:18,320
Speaker 2: It is a mess.

2131
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:22,800
Speaker 6: Secondly, and Brian, I think this is the more interesting

2132
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:28,720
Speaker 6: of the points. Is this finally the final push that

2133
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:30,879
Speaker 6: forces Notre Dame to join a conference.

2134
01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 4: It's possible because not being eligible as it stands right now,

2135
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 4: for a first round by you got to win four

2136
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 4: playoff games. Good luck to win a title. That is

2137
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:44,760
Speaker 4: not easy whatsoever. When it's week after week after week

2138
01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:47,519
Speaker 4: after week, you don't get a first round by and

2139
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:49,799
Speaker 4: have to win three games to win a title.

2140
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 2: That's a huge difference.

2141
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 4: And some people could look at that and say, well,

2142
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 4: I mean, you're not playing a conference championship game, so

2143
01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,960
Speaker 4: the first round is sort of what the conference champion

2144
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:03,639
Speaker 4: chip game would be. Maybe, like some not all conference

2145
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:07,600
Speaker 4: championship games are created equal. Sometimes you play, you know,

2146
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:09,120
Speaker 4: a dying dog.

2147
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 6: If Notre Dames in the SEE they'd be they'd get

2148
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:15,280
Speaker 6: a bye, if they won the AC title, they would

2149
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:15,559
Speaker 6: get a.

2150
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:17,920
Speaker 5: Buy and they would be hands down the best team

2151
01:49:17,920 --> 01:49:20,000
Speaker 5: in the a SEC. There's no doubt in mind getting.

2152
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:23,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, maybe to your question, Jared, that that might

2153
01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:24,600
Speaker 4: be a push.

2154
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:27,080
Speaker 6: To Someone asked me that the other day, and I

2155
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:29,559
Speaker 6: don't know enough about the dynamics. I remember the Penn

2156
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:32,080
Speaker 6: State Big ten thing was a big deal. It was

2157
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:34,400
Speaker 6: a big deal back in the night Well joined that conference.

2158
01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 6: It was revolutionary. Penn State was always the team without

2159
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 6: a conference. And maybe this is finally the push that

2160
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:41,640
Speaker 6: gets Notre Dame into one.

2161
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 4: Hey, by the way, Jared, you were talking about reach

2162
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:47,200
Speaker 4: Rhys Davis and his head spinning. Do you feel like

2163
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 4: breaking down the Big twelve championship.

2164
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,759
Speaker 6: Doctor, you know, like a doctorate, like a post doctorate

2165
01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:54,679
Speaker 6: to figure that out.

2166
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 2: No way, Here's what I do know.

2167
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 6: We bet Arizona State last week plus three fifty to

2168
01:49:58,120 --> 01:49:58,719
Speaker 6: win the Big twelve.

2169
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:01,479
Speaker 4: I feel good about that ticket. Man, what a season

2170
01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:06,600
Speaker 4: they've had. Unbelievable Scataboo. It's crazy too, because look at

2171
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:10,040
Speaker 4: the records they're taking on Arizona today and it's basically

2172
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 4: the exact opposite of what most people expected from both

2173
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:17,280
Speaker 4: teams record wise. It's crazy what Arizona State has been

2174
01:50:17,320 --> 01:50:18,720
Speaker 4: able to do. By the way, I was looking at

2175
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:22,200
Speaker 4: the prop bet market too, So Arizona State's nine and two,

2176
01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:26,879
Speaker 4: Arizona four and seven. Good lord, but prop bet market,

2177
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:31,719
Speaker 4: Cam Scataboo, who we love? Who is just a truck

2178
01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 4: on legs?

2179
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:39,960
Speaker 2: Man strong? How about this?

2180
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:44,879
Speaker 6: Over the summer was seventeen, Arizona was favored.

2181
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 2: Man, Wow, that's it's been a.

2182
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 6: Twenty six point sweet Now Arizona State of nine point

2183
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 6: favorite Scataboo.

2184
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:54,200
Speaker 4: If you're interested in maybe parlaying those two things, Jared,

2185
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:57,360
Speaker 4: you know, let's lay the points with ASU and go

2186

2188
01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:03,360

Speaker 2: All right, we got some picks to make. Let's do

2248
01:53:46,160 --> 01:53:52,880
Speaker 2: it rapid fire. All right, Jared, we start with you.

2249
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 2: What do you like here today?

2250
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:56,000
Speaker 6: Well, based on how the last three weeks a gone,

2251
01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:57,960
Speaker 6: we're either going three and oh or zero and three.

2252
01:53:58,040 --> 01:53:59,320
Speaker 2: There is no in between here.

2253
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:03,479
Speaker 6: Baylor, they're a home dog against Kansas today, and I

2254
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:06,639
Speaker 6: get why peak market on Kansas. They're the first unranked

2255
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:09,719
Speaker 6: team in NCAA history to win three straight games against

2256
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 6: ranked opponents. But how much do they have left in

2257
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:14,599
Speaker 6: the tank? They need one more win to get Bowl eligible.

2258
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:17,760
Speaker 6: Guess who doesn't care about that, Dave Randa, who has

2259
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:21,160
Speaker 6: never lost to Kansas. In fact, Baylor has won thirteen

2260
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:24,960
Speaker 6: straight in the series, eleven to zero all time in Waco.

2261
01:54:25,479 --> 01:54:28,880
Speaker 6: I think this Baylor rushing attack in the trenches, both

2262
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:30,680
Speaker 6: offensively and defensively.

2263
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 2: Will shut down the Jayhawks. I think Baylor plus one

2264
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:34,320
Speaker 2: and a half is the side.

2265
01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:36,120
Speaker 6: Arkansas plus three. At Missoo we talked about this game

2266
01:54:36,120 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 6: in the parlay platter, big revenge spot after Missoo laid

2267
01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:42,280
Speaker 6: a whooping on Arkansas last year. We've seen a lot

2268
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:44,960
Speaker 6: of sharp money come in on the Razorbacks from four

2269
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:46,680
Speaker 6: and a half now down to three. They are better

2270
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:48,720
Speaker 6: in the trenches, better yard for play margin, they played

2271
01:54:48,720 --> 01:54:51,440
Speaker 6: a tougher schedule. Arkansas goes into Columbia and wins, and

2272
01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 6: Ohio State how can we not late nineteen and a

2273
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:56,960
Speaker 6: half today? Outside of Ryan Dave's father dying, he said,

2274
01:54:57,080 --> 01:54:59,960
Speaker 6: losing three straat games of Michigan if the worst thing

2275
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,440
Speaker 6: and that's ever happened to it in his life.

2276
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:04,840
Speaker 2: He will cover the number today. Ohio State minus nineteen

2277
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:07,400
Speaker 2: and a half against it. Yeah, I'm right there with you.

2278
01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:11,320
Speaker 5: That's I'll start there, Ohio State for all the reasons

2279
01:55:11,360 --> 01:55:14,640
Speaker 5: you just said, Jared, they will cover that giant number

2280
01:55:14,920 --> 01:55:18,240
Speaker 5: if they can score a million against Michigan. They will

2281
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:21,600
Speaker 5: hosting the Wolverines today, So yeah, minus nineteen and a half,

2282
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:22,320
Speaker 5: I'm all over that.

2283
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 2: How about this?

2284
01:55:23,320 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 5: Two dogs a double digit dog dog, a home team

2285
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 5: in Vanderbilt, welcoming in Tennessee. Vandy when they're double digit

2286
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:34,600
Speaker 5: underdogs are five to zero against the spread. This season,

2287
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 5: they're two and three straight up. So oil boy, I

2288
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:44,000
Speaker 5: think the lightning strikes again and I'm gonna stay on

2289
01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 5: that side. I like the ten and a half points

2290
01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 5: being given to Bandy there and then Syracuse hosting Miami.

2291
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:54,600
Speaker 5: We gave it away on our dog o parlay platter,

2292
01:55:55,040 --> 01:55:58,600
Speaker 5: and so I'm very happy taking the eleven points against

2293
01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:05,240
Speaker 5: the spread Syracuse plus eleven hosting Miami, expecting fireworks, expecting

2294
01:56:05,280 --> 01:56:09,160
Speaker 5: a shootout come, accord hanging with the Hurricanes. Give me

2295
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:10,360
Speaker 5: the eleven right there?

2296
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 4: Okay, man, I would love to go against the Grain,

2297
01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:18,440
Speaker 4: but not in this spot. I'll take Ohio State as well.

2298
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:22,520
Speaker 4: Wow when they're gas Wow. When we say this game

2299
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:26,800
Speaker 4: is personal, that is the understatement of all time when

2300
01:56:26,840 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 4: it comes to the Buckeyes.

2301
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:28,640
Speaker 2: In this spot.

2302
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:33,400
Speaker 4: What's the stat Ohio State under Ryan Day? They're one

2303
01:56:33,440 --> 01:56:37,280
Speaker 4: in three against Michigan. Against all other Big Ten teams,

2304
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:40,520
Speaker 4: they're forty seven and one uns.

2305
01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:42,880
Speaker 2: That's crazy to me.

2306
01:56:43,080 --> 01:56:46,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, I expect Ohio State to win when Big

2307
01:56:46,800 --> 01:56:49,680
Speaker 4: cover this number. I'll take Ohio State minus the nineteen

2308
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:52,000
Speaker 4: and a half. Give me the road Runners. We mentioned

2309
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:55,040
Speaker 4: this before. Give me UTSA. I like them in our

2310
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:58,959
Speaker 4: parlay Ladder underdog money line outright winners.

2311
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:02,320
Speaker 2: I like plus the six against Army today.

2312
01:57:02,600 --> 01:57:08,440
Speaker 4: Army banged up after playing Notre Dame last week, and

2313
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,600
Speaker 4: then also these teams to next week after playing Notre

2314
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:13,520
Speaker 4: Dame oh to nine against the spread.

2315
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 2: UTSA does a really good job against the run. I'll

2316
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:18,440
Speaker 2: take the road Runners plus the points.

2317
01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:23,320
Speaker 4: And listen, man, Jared, you and I were similar mindset

2318
01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:28,760
Speaker 4: with this Kansas Baylor game. I think Baylor's defense holds

2319
01:57:28,760 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 4: Devin Neil in relative check. I think he's under the

2320
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 4: number at one ten and a half rushing yards. You

2321
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:37,960
Speaker 4: know who's quietly doing a great job running the ball

2322
01:57:38,440 --> 01:57:42,320
Speaker 4: is Baylor running back Bryson Washington. His prop is at

2323
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 4: one hundred point five rushing yards. I like the over

2324
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:50,720
Speaker 4: today against Kansas. Three straight wins against ranked teams, but

2325
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:54,000
Speaker 4: this Baylor rushing attack is for real. He's rushed for

2326
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 4: over one hundred yards in four of their last five games.

2327
01:57:57,120 --> 01:58:00,000
Speaker 4: I think he does it again. Give me Bryson washing

2328
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 4: is Washington, I don't know if you had that in

2329
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 4: your card.

2330
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:05,560
Speaker 2: Here today I did Baylor running back Bryce and.

2331
01:58:05,640 --> 01:58:09,840
Speaker 4: Washington over one hundred point five one hundred and a

2332
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:11,360
Speaker 4: half rushing yards right there.

2333
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:14,480
Speaker 2: I love you. Think you can denounce any of that,

2334
01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:15,440
Speaker 2: and I'm doing it.

2335
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:18,720
Speaker 6: I'm doing a round robin moneyline parlay with Baylor, UTSA,

2336
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 6: and Arkansas.

2337
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 5: It feels like we just gave away seven winners because

2338
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:26,360
Speaker 5: we're all on Ohio State.

2339
01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:30,280
Speaker 4: What if this is like tied at halftime with Michigan

2340
01:58:30,400 --> 01:58:36,280
Speaker 4: and the nil nil ugly blocked punt or something. States

2341
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:39,320
Speaker 4: laying a hammer today they are. I just don't see

2342
01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:43,880
Speaker 4: how how's Michigan? No, Loveland, they're stud tight end unless

2343
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:45,400
Speaker 4: they're running the ball effectively.

2344
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:48,280
Speaker 2: They're not scoring. No, yeah they're not.

2345
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 6: And if you're Jim Knowles, like to shut down the rung,

2346
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:52,800
Speaker 6: yeah absolutely.

2347
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:53,040
Speaker 2: Man.

2348
01:58:53,480 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 4: Well, hey you guys, have a great day. Everybody listening,

2349
01:58:56,840 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 4: have a fantastic day. Enjoy the weekend. As the ball

2350
01:59:00,080 --> 01:59:01,480
Speaker 4: up of fat rolls forward,
