That was Steve Levy who reported 27 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 4: our own Brett McMurphy. I'd been laid off at ESPN. Look, 28 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 4: I love Steve Levy and I want to give him 29 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 4: a break here. He's caught a lot of grief about 30 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 4: that SoundBite. There was one hundred people that go at ESPN. 31 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 4: It was hard to keep track of who was still 32 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: at the company who wasn't. I actually saw him in 33 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 4: Arizona a couple of years ago and I went up 34 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 4: to him and I go, Steve, Man, I really appreciate 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 4: you saying our own Brett McMurphy. I got so much 36 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: publicity about that, a lot of positive feedback. Dude, I 37 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 4: owe you like a six pack, he goes Murph. He goes, 38 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 4: you owe me like twelve six packs for all the 39 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 4: publicity you got about that. So you know, I love 40 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 4: Levy and I'm no longer their own. I'm Action Zone. 41 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: Oh awesome. 42 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad Steve Levey has that sound drop. It's 43 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: one of the best in college football history. I mean, 44 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: just the elation of having you under the Action Network 45 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 3: umbrella has been fantastic. 46 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: So Steve, if you're listening, shout out to you. We 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: will send you a twelve pack. But I Action Network 48 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: seenior writer Cayla Wilson Brett, let's go ahead and get 49 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: in this. What was your instant take from week three? 50 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 4: You know, Colin, I think this is gonna be one 51 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 4: of the craziest years we've ever seen. So far, in 52 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 4: the first three weeks, we've seen nineteen ranked top twenty 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 4: five teams lose through the first three weeks. That is 54 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: the most ever in APO Pole history. The ape Pole 55 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: goes back like seventy years. And yes, I did vote 56 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 4: in the first ap Pole, so I know that was 57 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 4: the next question. You know, look, UCLA losing a Fresno state. 58 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: We could go down the list because of all this. 59 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's parody. I don't know if 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 4: it's Super Seniors. I don't know if it's last year 61 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: with COVID, I don't know if it's a transfer portal. 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's all the above. But for 63 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 4: whatever reason, you know, there really doesn't seem to be 64 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 4: one dominant team. I think everyone thought that was Alabama. 65 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: I know we're gonna talk about Alabama a little bit 66 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: later on the show. But you know, is this the 67 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: first year that we see a two lost team. This 68 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 4: will be the eighth year of the playoff. Is this 69 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 4: the first year we see a two lost team actually 70 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 4: make the college football playoffs? It could happen because you 71 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 4: look at the so called bell cows of college football. 72 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: I can't sit here and say this team is definitely 73 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 4: going to go undefeated the rest of the way. And 74 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 4: you know what that means. That means chaos, and that 75 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 4: means leaving it up to the selection committee, and like 76 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 4: it or not, it boils down. It boils down to 77 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 4: a beauty contest on what those people value and what 78 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: they think is most important as far as who will 79 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 4: make the playoff. 80 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: I think there's two takeaways for me when you come 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: to you know how much chaos is going on in 82 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: college football right now. 83 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: One is the whole road travel aspect. 84 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: I said this last week and I bet it heavily, 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 3: which was if you're a double digit favorite going on 86 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 3: the road, this is the first time you've been on 87 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 3: the road. It could be a shock to some of 88 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: these kids' systems. And I think there is a psychological aspect. 89 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: Now that is going to go away here in the 90 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: next couple of weeks. Everybody's going to get their road 91 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 3: game in with a hostile environment, whether that be UMass 92 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: or that be the swamp, but you know, everybody's going 93 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 3: to get their taste the road. 94 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: And I think depth is a huge deal. And I 95 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: know that I. 96 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 3: Talk a lot about the Razorbacks, but it's because it's 97 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 3: a part of my life. But the biggest reason why 98 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 3: Arkansas was never able to ever generate anything for years 99 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 3: is because Chad Morris never recruited. The depth chart was 100 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: never there. When players got hurt, things went down the tank. 101 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 3: That's why we lost a Missouri and they put a 102 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 3: fifty burger on us at the end of last year 103 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: because there was no linebacker depth. But now the depth 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 3: that is there and it's starting to show out. So 105 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 3: with some of these teams that are massively talented in 106 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 3: depth and can fill holes, they're better suited to sustain injuries. 107 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: And I think this year of the Super Senior, these 108 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 3: teams that don't have the depth, you really have to 109 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: keep an eye on them. And I do my power 110 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: ratings for those who don't know. Brett submits his AP 111 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 3: poll vote and then by the time you wake up 112 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: fresh on Sunday morning, Brett's got his call them out 113 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 3: on the AP Top twenty five. And at the same 114 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: time that's going on, I'm up at three o'clock in 115 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: the morning doing Hawaii game power ratings and getting those 116 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 3: done so that we can compare the two so that 117 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: you know everything from an AP voting standpoint, you know 118 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: everything from an odds maker's behind the counter standpoint about 119 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: where these numbers are. And I looked at the like 120 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: the Top twenty Brett, and I was like, which one 121 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: of these teams am I comfortable saying absolutely can win 122 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: a national championship? Well, let me go down the list. 123 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 3: I can't say that about Ohio State, and I've got 124 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 3: them third in my list. I don't think I can 125 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: say that about Oklahoma. I don't know what's going on 126 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 3: with Spencer Rattler, Penn State, Seawn Clifford's playing clean football, 127 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 3: but can they win a national championship? And then I 128 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 3: come back to like a team like North Carolina right 129 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: loses her first game because think about it, depth, Sam, 130 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 3: how did know his targets? And if this is a 131 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: beauty pageant for AP voters and for college football Playoff committee, 132 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: what happens if you take a loss in the first 133 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: two weeks and then you are steamrolling people like we 134 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: know Sam how can do by the time November rolls around. 135 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: There could be some value I think outside the top eight, 136 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: top ten odds. 137 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: I think there's some value out there. 138 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. And the thing is that the committee 139 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 4: certainly will not penalize somebody if you lose early and 140 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,559 Speaker 4: you come on strongly, and I think actually that can help. 141 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 4: The issue though is you know, when you're comparing your 142 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 4: win loss record against other teams, you're being compared with 143 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 4: who did you lose to? What was the circumstances of 144 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: those games? You know, people think benefits you if you 145 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 4: lose early because then you can run the table and 146 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 4: get back up there. I mean, look, it's a number 147 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 4: of factors, but you know this year, you know the 148 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: thing is when you lose, you you no longer control 149 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 4: your destiny. You need help. You need everybody else to lose, 150 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: because if there's four undefeated teams and you have one loss, 151 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 4: the committee for all the factors they throw out there, 152 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 4: strength the schedule, you know, margin of victory, impressing of 153 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: you know. The bottom line is they consider one thing 154 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 4: over everything else, and that's number of losses. Yep, if 155 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 4: you have zero losses, you're going to get in over 156 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 4: somebody with one loss. You can break it down any 157 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 4: way you want. It's not that simple, but that yes, 158 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: it is that simple. 159 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: There is a precedence that's been set, and this roles 160 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 3: us into Alabama. There is a precedence that's been set. 161 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: Ohio State won the Big Ten as a two loss team. 162 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: Alabama got into the College Football Playoff as a one 163 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: lost at large after losing the SEC championship game. That 164 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: Alabama team is a one loss at large paid off 165 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: for the committee. They won the national championship. I am 166 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 3: not comfortable in saying Bama can win the national championship. 167 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: This checkdown stuff by Bryce Young is getting a little 168 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: out of control. This offense that's being run is not 169 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: Sarks offense. I'm seeing a heavy amount of two tight sets, 170 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: checkdowns in the flats zone, reads in out. I think 171 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 3: you are the one that called it properly. You said 172 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: Bama's offense is it. 173 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: Looks to me like New England Patriots against Florida. This 174 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 4: was the first time since twenty eighteen, Alabama did not 175 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 4: have one offensive play over thirty yards. And I know 176 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 4: you're really big into explosiveness, and I simply did not 177 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 4: see that. Against Florida. They lost Devonte Smith, they lost 178 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 4: a lot of people. But watching that Florida game, I 179 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: thought I was watching a college version of the New 180 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 4: England Patriots short passing game. Control the clock, the defense 181 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: rolls everybody up, and you go over the top, which 182 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 4: they did for the one touchdown early there in the 183 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 4: first half. But I don't know. I mean, you look 184 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 4: at this a lot closer than I do. Is it 185 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 4: simply the difference in talent, if the skill positions for Alabama, 186 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 4: is that the biggest difference between this year and last year? 187 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 4: Or is it something deeper than that. 188 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: The guys that they have in the backfield are just 189 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 3: as talented. I mean, they're not household names like the 190 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 3: Judy's and the Waddles and the DeVonta Smiths of the world, 191 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: but they have just as much talent at the wide 192 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: receiver position. The problem is Bryce Young has only thrown 193 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 3: deep a handful of times, and he is not completing 194 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: passes whatsoever. Bradley, ask you a question, if you were 195 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 3: one of the guys in the Culegeura Wall Playoff Committee. 196 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: Are you taking an undefeated Cincinnati over a two loss 197 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 3: Alabama SEC championship for the Coullege World Playoff last spot? 198 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 4: I know who your taking. You're taking Cincinnati. It really 199 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 4: matters who the losses for Alabama are. If you tell 200 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 4: me who the losses are, I'll give you a. 201 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 3: They get a boat raced by Ole Miss and they 202 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: lose forty nine to sixty six, and. 203 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 4: Then they beat Georgia and they beat Georgia in the 204 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: SEC title game. 205 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so some sort of combination of that, you know. 206 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm picking Alabama. And here's why. Because Cincinnati would 207 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 4: have gone undefeated against a schedule where they played exactly 208 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 4: two Power five teams. Alabama would have played ten Power 209 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 4: five teams. That's a huge difference. Cincinnati right now is 210 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: projected their twelve game schedule they will have faced at 211 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 4: the end of the year, as long as nothing crazy 212 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 4: happens with the opponents, four teams that end up with 213 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 4: the winning record. So you do the power ratings. You 214 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 4: know this better than I do. There's a dozen teams 215 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 4: minimum that would have gone undefeated with cincinnati schedule, and 216 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 4: so That's why I think Cincinnati would be held out 217 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 4: if they go thirteen to zero and you're comparing them 218 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 4: with a eleven and two Alabama that beats Georgia in 219 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: the SEC title game. You the messenger, But that's exactly 220 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 4: what the College Football Playoff Committee will look at, and 221 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 4: that's why they reward the Power five schools because they 222 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: play more quality Power five opponents in the regular season 223 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 4: than the non Power leagues have the opportunity to do. 224 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: So. 225 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 3: Shame on you for saying Central Florida is not a 226 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: Power five team. They won the what the Colleague Matrix 227 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 3: National Championship a couple of years ago. That's a big 228 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: that's a big bullet point on the Cincinnati schedule. 229 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 4: It just lost to Louisville and they screwed up my 230 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 4: bold projections. I had them in the Fiesta. Now they've 231 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 4: shuffled down to Perilla somewhere. 232 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: So last thing I want to talk about before we 233 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: move on in this segment. Clemson's terrible. 234 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 4: How do you really feel college? 235 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: Just get it out in the open. 236 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: The offensive line cannot protect Djue and Galily. But the 237 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 3: thing that shocked me when I ran the numbers today 238 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: and got all of the advanced stuff on them one 239 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty fourth and explosive plays. I mean, what 240 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 3: is going on with the backfield with lynd J Dixon? 241 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 3: What is going on with the running backs? The timing? 242 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 3: But with between DJ and the rest of these receivers. 243 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: I I want to take in CT State. But is 244 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: this where you know, Clemson has to turn around and 245 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: play their best and they prove us all wrong. There's 246 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 3: a couple of teams like that, Like is Ohio State 247 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 3: going to make Accron a blood sacrifice this weekend? 248 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: You know? 249 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 3: But the Clemson I just I don't think Clemson is fixable. 250 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: Georgia Tech, who lost in North Illinois should not be 251 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: recording safeties in your house. 252 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 4: The thing that's working against them is that schedule. I 253 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 4: mean I talked about Cincinnati only playing four teams projected 254 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: at a winning record. Clemson may only play three or 255 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 4: four teams with the winning record, and one of those 256 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 4: was Georgia that they lost to. And oh, by the way, 257 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: this is the eighth year of the College Football Playoff. 258 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 4: Never in the previous seven years has a team lost 259 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: its opening game and made it into the College Football 260 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 4: Playoff field. So keep that in mind. As far as 261 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 4: the Big Ten, there is no game bigger in the 262 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 4: Big Ten big than the between two unbeatens. That's right, 263 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 4: Rutgers and Michigan. For the first time since two thousand 264 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 4: and six, where you're probably like in third grade, Rutgers 265 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 4: is playing in a game featuring two teams that are 266 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 4: unbeaten three weeks into the season. This is a historic 267 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 4: game for Greg Ciano. And oh, by the way, I 268 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 4: know it's the look at the caliber of competition. Michigan 269 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 4: actually has been somewhat surprising so far this year, even 270 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 4: with the loss of Ronnie Bell. Do you think that's 271 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 4: something they can continue long term? 272 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, the schedule has been cupcake City, directional schools and whatnot. 273 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 2: I just did box. 274 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 3: Score review with a lot of our contributors, a lot 275 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 3: of our guys that write some of the stories at 276 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 3: Action Network. We get together on Mondays and talk about 277 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 3: some of the box scores we saw on upcoming and 278 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 3: the thing that really caught my eye is Michigan is 279 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 3: number one in the nation and havoc allowed And if 280 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,239 Speaker 3: you're not familiar with that, that is on the offenseive 281 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 3: side of the ball, and that is tackles for loss fumbles, interceptions, 282 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 3: Michigan is number one in the nation offensively and havoc allowed. 283 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: No one's been tackling behind the line of scrimmage, The interceptions, 284 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 3: everything is the lowest percentage in the nation. 285 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: That that just shocks the hell out of me. 286 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 3: At the same time, Michigan has a rush rate of 287 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: seventy five percent on their snaps. You're gonna have to 288 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 3: throw the ball at some point, but you know the 289 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: offensive line is playing max protect against these directional schools. 290 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: It's going to be interesting because, believe it or not, 291 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: number two in defensive HAVOC in the nation, Rutgers. That 292 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: is shocking to me. So keep your eyes on Rutgers 293 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 3: Michigan this weekend. A game you know, I power rate. 294 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 3: I don't think I'm going to get involvement because I 295 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: don't believe anything in Michigan yet. But Ruggers number two 296 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: in defensive havoc Michigan number one in offensive havoc allowed. 297 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 3: Definitely a key spot for me to watch this weekend. 298 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: The Sources Speed Round. 299 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 3: Okay, let's move on to one of our favorite segments here. 300 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: In a segment, I get to ask Brett as many 301 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 3: questions as possible in a sixty second span. If I 302 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: hear anything gambling wise, if I hear anything that could 303 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 3: help any of us get a wager down, get to 304 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 3: the window, get some information to help us make a 305 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: bet before maybe the mass public hears about it. Then 306 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: Brett has to explain himself when I throw a time out. 307 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: Are you ready, Brett? Let's do it all right? 308 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: The clock starts now BYU is three and oh? Would 309 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 3: twelve and oh BYU make the college football Playoff? 310 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 4: No? 311 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: Okay? Then where do you project them playing in the postseason? 312 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 4: The Fiesta Bowl against Cincinnati. 313 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: That'd be fantastic. 314 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: Can twelve and OHO Cincinnati make the college Football Playoff? 315 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: No? 316 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 4: Not with that chaos? Four winning teams, two Power five opponents. 317 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: Sorry, no, I'm calling time out. With an Indiana Notre 318 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: Dame brand name on this schedule, Will you tell me why? 319 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 4: So? Who would you put them above? A two loss 320 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 4: Alabama team that as wins over Miami, Florida, LSU, Auburn, etc. 321 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 4: But they have two losses to Old Miss whoever else 322 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 4: you want to throw in there. You know, people get 323 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 4: so enamored with being undefeated. How many teams would go 324 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 4: undefeated against that schedule? As far as Cincinnati, I think 325 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 4: there's probably a dozen teams that could go undefeated against 326 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 4: their schedule. Indiana, I hate to say this. Indiana is 327 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 4: not last year's Indiana. You mentioned the eye test earlier. 328 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 4: You know what the eye test is. It's what I think, 329 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 4: that's what the eye test is. I think Indiana is 330 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 4: a shell of the team it was last year, and 331 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 4: Notre Dame. I know your power ratings have them a 332 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: lot lower than they're currently ranked in the AP pole. Look, 333 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 4: I would give Cincinnati a great deal of credit. Those 334 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 4: are two huge road winds, but I don't think you 335 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 4: can put a team in the playoff because they have 336 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 4: two huge road wins against Power five opponents. When the 337 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 4: Power five schools that they're competing against for that playoff 338 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 4: spot have eight, nine or ten Power five opponents, you're 339 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 4: just ruining. 340 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: You're just like crushing my dream of Luke Fickle and 341 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 3: Cincinnati drawing Ohio State in a semi final playoff game. 342 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: It would be such an amazing feat. Oh And then, 343 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 3: by the way, Luke Fickle would get hired at Michigan 344 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 3: as their head coach. 345 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: That would be hilarious. 346 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 4: I do think Cincinnati's got a better chance than Ohio 347 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 4: State to get the playoff or what that's worth. 348 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: That is a statement. I should almost throw a flag 349 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 2: and call a time. 350 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 4: They can't play defense. They squeaked out against Tulsa. I mean, 351 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 4: you think they would have a huge rebound. Now, obviously 352 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 4: that doesn't mean they can't run the table. They can't 353 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 4: fix things. There's some serious issues defensively with Ohio State. 354 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 4: Maybe they get it corrected. But Penn State's not going away, 355 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 4: Iowa's not going away. Michigan is a little bit different. 356 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 4: I think they'll be competitive this year. I don't think 357 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 4: it's a cakewalk for Ohio State. 358 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's put you back on the clock. Who 359 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 2: is the dumpster fire team of the week Florida State? 360 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 4: And we may have to change the name of this 361 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 4: question to the Florida State dumpster Team of the week 362 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 4: because they are going to be the dumpster team of 363 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 4: the week every week until they win a game. 364 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: All right, calling clock again, time out? All right. I 365 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: know that you didn't expect this here, but is Mike 366 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 2: Norvella in trouble? 367 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 4: Short answer, yes, Clay Helton is an example one a 368 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 4: Once you lose a fan base, you can't get him back, 369 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 4: and so basically, as an athletic director or president, you 370 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 4: have two options. One is to defend the coach, give 371 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 4: him all the support. You can back them up. But 372 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 4: if the reality is, if he doesn't win seventy percent 373 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 4: of the rest of the way, the fans are going 374 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 4: to want him out. And if so, you're backing him, 375 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 4: you're out there up front. Then you know what they'll say, Well, 376 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 4: you know, we can get a new ad too, we 377 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 4: don't have to have you around. I don't think that's 378 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 4: necessarily fair. I just think that's how the reality is 379 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 4: as far as college athletic these days. I think that 380 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 4: happened with Clay Helton. Once you're on the quintessential hot seat, 381 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 4: you're never off of it. As soon as something goes wrong, 382 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 4: you lose a game, then everybody piles on, See we 383 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 4: need a new coach. This is what's wrong with the program. 384 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 4: By the way, they're one of nine winless teams. Florida 385 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 4: State can be a proud member with the likes of 386 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 4: Yukon and UMass. That's where they are at right now. 387 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 4: Did you see what the Florida State woman tweeted last week? No, 388 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 4: she encouraged all Florida State females not to have sex 389 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 4: with Florida State football players anymore until they start playing better. 390 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 4: If they try to have sex with them, say no, 391 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 4: you guys aren't good enough, and instead to seek out 392 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 4: a basketball player or an athlete that plays another sport. 393 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 4: By the way, at the same time, the Florida State 394 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 4: message boards, yes we're talking about the Knowles. They had 395 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 4: their wish list of the next Florida State coach Gus 396 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: Melson one. Two was Hugh Freeese, Three was Lane Kiffin, 397 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 4: Four was Art Briell in five was anyone else? Breaking news? 398 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 4: Anyone else is the favorite at this point. This should 399 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 4: help basketball recruit. 400 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: Leonard Hamilton's It's a good day for him. 401 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 3: I'm going to put the clock back on who has 402 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: the most unrealistic boosters in college football? Is it Florida 403 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 3: State or Texas? 404 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 4: Texas? 405 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Texas, I mean Florida State. 406 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 4: You don't have to win a national championship, maybe win 407 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 4: an ACC title. I think they'd be happy Texas. It's 408 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 4: national title or bust. 409 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: Let's do one last question to wrap up this speed round. 410 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: True or false? Billion Napier will be a head coach 411 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: in the sec A. 412 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 4: Couple of years ago. 413 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 3: Yes, currently, No, that guy. I've never been your boy. 414 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: I've never been so pissed off in my life. And 415 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 3: for those of you that don't know, I had under 416 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 3: fifty seven. Everybody on the Action app was either able 417 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 3: to get fifty seven with me or closed at fifty 418 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 3: six and a half. Louisiana Lafayette was just drumming Ohio 419 00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 3: and with a minute and a half left, they put 420 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 3: the back quarterback in ran tempo went forward on fourth 421 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 3: down at midfield and that did everything they could to 422 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 3: get another touchdown in to win by thirty five with 423 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 3: twenty seconds left on the board. That game, that touchdown 424 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 3: at the end also made. 425 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 2: Total go over. 426 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: It was uncalled for, it was unnecessary and Billion Napier 427 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 3: is just looking like a scrub over there, smiling happy, 428 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 3: got another bullet point for the resume. And you know 429 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 3: what he said at halftime, I'm glad our Actually Network 430 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 3: Social team clipped. 431 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: It scared money, don't make money. 432 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 3: You know, his name was up for Tennessee, his name 433 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 3: was up for South Carolina. What's going on with this guy? 434 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 3: Is he failing interviews horribly? 435 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: No? 436 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 4: Actually, he could have accepted a couple of sec jobs 437 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 4: and for whatever reason he decided not to. I know 438 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 4: he's got a new agent this year. Will that help 439 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 4: him or hurt him? We'll have to see. Bottom line 440 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 4: is he's got to win. I just wonder if and 441 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 4: this is for any coach, not Napier specific, but when 442 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 4: you're having a great deal of success and you and 443 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 4: you're at a smaller school and you don't make the jump, 444 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 4: you know, you're always not going to be the hot coach. 445 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 4: You're only a you know, seven and five, eight and 446 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 4: four season away from being irrelevant again. So that's something 447 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 4: you've got to you've got to fight against. Maybe Napier 448 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 4: was running tempo when he's up twenty one late to 449 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 4: impress maybe a future employer. But I think his dream job, 450 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 4: I'm sure a lot of people's dream job would be 451 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 4: to eventually be the Alabama head coach. He was there 452 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 4: previously as an assistant. Will that happen? You know, I 453 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 4: don't know Nick Saban, you know, calling you and I 454 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 4: will be out to be out of work long before 455 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: Nick Saban ever retires, so he may have to wait 456 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: a long time. If if that's the one job he's 457 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 4: holding out. 458 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 2: For, that is quite an insured. 459 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 3: I always thought Saban once he surpassed the Bear Bryant 460 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 3: mark at Alabama, which will be his next national title, I'm. 461 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 2: Not really sure what else is left. 462 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 3: But then again, Tom Brady is so far out of 463 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: range from any other NFL team and other NFL player, 464 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 3: like he keeps playing and beating everybody, So. 465 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 4: Saban's got nothing else he loves more than coaching football. 466 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 4: He is not looking to get numbers championships. He just 467 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 4: wants to be involved. I'm dead serious. He is not 468 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 4: retiring any I was joking about we'd be out of 469 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 4: work before him, but I'm like ninety percent serious. He 470 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 4: is not looking to oh, okay, I've got X number 471 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 4: of wins. Now I'm gonna go retire, because what's he 472 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 4: gonna do when he retires, He'll go crazy. He has 473 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 4: to be a coach. 474 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 3: I thought you were going to retire on the number 475 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 3: of Alabama bets. You kept winning, but we finally caught 476 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 3: you one. 477 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, that that evened up real quick. 478 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the AP Top twenty five 479 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: versus the Action Network Top twenty five. One thing I 480 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 3: want to point out I Auburn was twenty second. They 481 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 3: fell down to twenty third. I actually bumped them a 482 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 3: number of power rating points up. They played a very 483 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 3: clean box score. They gave Penn State a heck of 484 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 3: a game. 485 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 2: Nothing. 486 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 3: The only embarrassment in that entire game was Mike Bobo 487 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: throwing a fade in the end zone as the critical play. 488 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 3: I mean, that's what lost the game. Mind blowing what 489 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: that play call was. 490 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 4: What was the worst goal line call? Auburn's fade or 491 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 4: Florida's two point conversion? 492 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 3: Floridas two point conversion, that was god awful. Why Anthony 493 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 3: Richardson wasn't asked to come in and run? The guy 494 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 3: is six four, two fifty and if you don't think 495 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 3: he isn't moving a pile, I don't know why he 496 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: couldn't come in for just one single play. 497 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: So moving on, It's interesting to see. 498 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 3: North Carolina to fifty nine point wins in a row 499 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 3: over no name schools, but they're still ranked twenty first. 500 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 3: This is a team that I have pushed up as 501 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: high as fourteenth in the Action Network Power ratings. The 502 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 3: path is there Miami is That should not be a 503 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 3: tough game at all. From what I'm seeing about this defense, 504 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 3: tackling in space and now Michigan State abused them. North 505 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 3: Carolina has a clear path to Clemson in the a. 506 00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: SEC Championship game. 507 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 3: Another one on the list, Coastal Carolina survives Buffalo. I 508 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 3: can see that the ape pole moving them from sixteen 509 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 3: down to seventeen. Buffalo had their way with Coastal Carolina, 510 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 3: and I did a box score review earlier tonight. Everything 511 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 3: that we know about the Coastal offense last year, about 512 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 3: the magnificent line play, the rushing success rate that they have, 513 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 3: draining the clock and being one of the best teams 514 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: in the nation offensive finishing drives, that's all still there. 515 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: The defense is not there. 516 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: They're outside the top one hundred and havoc and a 517 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 3: whole bunch of other things. So Coastal I don't know 518 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 3: where you put Coastal in your personal ap but there 519 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 3: were some problems with Buffalo. 520 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I dropped Coastal down to twenty two. I mean, look, 521 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 4: I don't even know if Coastal should be ranked. I 522 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 4: mean the Citadel, Kansas and Buffalo. You know that's not 523 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 4: a resume at this point, I think deserves to be ranked. 524 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 4: They're in there. I think they get a lot of 525 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 4: credit for what they did last year, and then their 526 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 4: next two games U Mass your favorite, your favorite, Stucky's 527 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 4: favorite team, and then eusianam in Row. I mean, give 528 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 4: me a break. I mean they're going to be five, 529 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 4: and oh they played nothing but Tomato Cans. You know, 530 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 4: Oh if they run the table, should we put them 531 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 4: in the playoff? Absolutely not give them credit for winning 532 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 4: the games for the opponents they face. But I don't 533 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 4: think this team's as strong as it was last year. 534 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I might be betting U Mass again this week, 535 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 3: so well, somebody, somebody take my phone away from me. 536 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 3: One other thing I wanted to point out about the 537 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 3: top twenty five we argued last week. 538 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 2: Argued. 539 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 3: We definitely pointed out the Oregon Iowa factor here and 540 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 3: Penn State. You know they get a bump from ten 541 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 3: up to six. Completely agree there. They're up to number 542 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: five in the Action Network power ratings. I think one 543 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 3: thing that we have to talk about the apopole, which 544 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: if these teams keep winning, I would expect them to 545 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 3: keep ranking the same. The one loss teams in Apeo 546 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 3: pole are Clemson, Ohio State, and Florida. That's not what 547 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 3: I have. I have Ohio State, Florida and Clemson pretty 548 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 3: like five points less than those two. Is that your 549 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 3: three in thecking order of the one losses. 550 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 4: I actually have Clemson nine on my ballot, Florida ten, 551 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 4: Ohio State eleven. I actually moved Florida up. I had 552 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 4: him fourteen last week. I moved him a four spots 553 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 4: for losing to Alabama. Is that crazy? Yeah? Maybe so. 554 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 4: But you know, look, they played South Florida in fau 555 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: the first couple of weeks, and then you know they 556 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 4: had a very good chance to take Bama into overtime. 557 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 4: And you know, just because they lost the game, I'm 558 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 4: not going to automatically say, Okay, I had you at 559 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 4: fourteen last week's now I'm going to shuffle you down. No, 560 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 4: you're the first team in two years that took Bama 561 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 4: to the wire. You're going to move up in my mind, 562 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 4: and I think they should be real quick calling. One 563 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 4: thing that jumped out of me is the difference in 564 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 4: the rankings between Oklahoma and Ole Miss. I know you 565 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: can't just simply compare schedules and results and decided team 566 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 4: as better than team B, but boy, this one jumps 567 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 4: out at you. You look at Oklahoma's game against two 568 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 4: Lane went down to the wire, two lane recovers an 569 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 4: onside kick and then oh Miss lane. Kiffin could have 570 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 4: scored three hundred on two lane if he wanted to. Yet, 571 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 4: the Sooners, again based on preseason rankings, are ten to 572 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 4: fifteen spots higher than ole Miss. When what's your power aid, 573 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 4: what's your power ratings for an ole Miss Oklahoma game? 574 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 4: Right now? 575 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 3: What would that be on a neutral site? Oklahoma minus 576 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 3: four and a half. 577 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 4: And that's one and a half okay, So I would 578 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 4: think they'd be They should be much closer in the 579 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 4: poll than they are right now. We'll have to find 580 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 4: out ole Miss in two weeks the epic game at 581 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 4: bamat three point thirty pm Eastern on CBS. So we'll 582 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 4: find out if Kiffin can be the first coach in 583 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 4: college football history that is an assistant of Nick Saban 584 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 4: to actually defeat Saban. 585 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you right now one of those 586 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 3: teams is in fifth gear, has more horsepower on their boat, 587 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 3: and is not committing pedal leads every other play. 588 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 2: And that team that I'm talking about is not Alabama. 589 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 4: Right, You're right. 590 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 3: And now, as a quick reminder to our listeners, the 591 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 3: big bets on campus podcast is presented by win Bet Sportsbook, 592 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 3: and they've got a great sign up offer for you 593 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 3: guys this season.

You know, 618 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 3: what's the percentage of people to put it in early? 619 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 3: Or are they watching these championship games? 620 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 2: How? 621 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 3: What does this long shot have a shot? So a 622 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 3: couple of things to point out. These odds are all 623 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 3: by win bet. Spencer Rattler is ten to one. He 624 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 3: still has zero big time throws and now he has 625 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: five turnover worthy plays. I can't explain what's going on 626 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 3: with Spencer Ratler in his game. I can't see him 627 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 3: winning the Heisman. Oh he makes the playoff, Sure, he's 628 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: in New York winning. It's just not there for me. 629 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 3: Matt Carral plus one eighty, I mean this, this am 630 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 3: I crazy? Like I know, there's no interceptions, no turnover 631 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 3: worthy plays. He's got a thousand yards passing another two 632 00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: hundred on the ground. 633 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: But why would you not? Why would you bet Matt. 634 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 3: Carroll plus one to eighty versus say old miss at 635 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 3: win bet, which is thirty to one to win the 636 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 3: sec What do you think about that one. 637 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 4: Well, I think you know if you should if you 638 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 4: like Matt Krall before the season, you knew about him, 639 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 4: you knew what he could do, so you would have 640 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 4: got much better odds than you do now. And look, 641 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 4: he's put up monster numbers. You know the good news. 642 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 4: What benefits him and Lane Kiffin is I don't think 643 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 4: anyone It's not like with Spencer Rattler, you could say, okay, 644 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 4: he he's a benefit of the system. He's the latest 645 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 4: cog for Lincoln Riley, so it's a it's a plug 646 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 4: and play, where with ole Miss and Kiffin that's not 647 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 4: the case. But I think he's benefits from Kiffin's offense obviously. 648 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 4: I think it's similar with Joe Burrow a couple of 649 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 4: years ago when Joe Burrow went it Alabama, Like whatever 650 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 4: money you had laying around, you had to put it 651 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 4: on Burrow to win the Heisman at that point because 652 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 4: he had locked it up. I think the same thing here. 653 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 4: If all Miss goes in and wins at Alabama, unless 654 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 4: they lose three of their final six games, I think 655 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 4: Corral's got this wrapped up. And I know we talked 656 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 4: about last week. I'm guilty Bryce Young. If you think 657 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 4: Alabama's gonna win the title, he's the guy. He should 658 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 4: win it. But if they're just gonna dink and dunk everything, 659 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 4: I don't know if Heisman voters are going to go 660 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 4: for that. Maybe they'll open up the offense later on, 661 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 4: but I think it's you know, I think we'll know 662 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 4: a lot more in two weeks. As far as Corral's 663 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 4: Heisman Trophy Canadacy, if they can win at Alabama and 664 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 4: even if they lose, I still think he's got a 665 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 4: decent shot. But again, it's imperative that all miss three consecutive, 666 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 4: four consecutive games LSU at Auburn, Liberty and Texas A 667 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 4: and M. At worst they can they need to go 668 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 4: three and one if they lose that Bama game. For 669 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 4: Corrall to win the Heisman, I don't I would be 670 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 4: very surprised if a nine to three a quarterback on 671 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 4: a nine to three team won the Heisman. 672 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the bar has been set by 673 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. You've got to have about fifty total tds 674 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 3: at a minimum to win the Heisman as a team 675 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 3: that has three losses or more. So we'll see if 676 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 3: Matt Krow can get there, but plus one eighty, I 677 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 3: could not recommend that at this time. I mean, I 678 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 3: think Old Miss thirty to one and win the SEC 679 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 3: is probably worth a lot more in value. 680 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 2: And also, don't forget. 681 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 3: Ole Miss has the easiest crossover scheduling of any team 682 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 3: in the SEC West, I believe with Vanderbilt and South Carolina. 683 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 3: So that's a live thirty to one ticket. If you 684 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 3: think Matt Crow could beat Alabama, and right now, I 685 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 3: think that's. 686 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: A huge possibility. 687 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 3: One name I want to throw out, Casey Thompson is 688 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 3: now back on the board at two hundred to one Texas. 689 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 3: Half their drives were explosive drives. But if you look 690 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 3: a little bit farther into the box score, that was 691 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 3: all with Jean Robinson. And I wonder if the reason 692 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 3: why he's getting open so much was able to run 693 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 3: over Rice is a eight? Rice is terrible or b 694 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 3: Casey Thompson makes you respect the pass. We'll see how 695 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 3: that works out. If Thompson starts taking some deep passes. 696 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw a little shout out to uh Shawn Clifford. 697 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 3: Now eighty to one, he's playing clean games. He's on 698 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 3: a Penn State team that can make the college football Playoff, 699 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 3: can he win the Heisman? I'm not positive, Brett. Do 700 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 3: you have a simple yes or no? Or in the 701 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 3: top three? If Shawn Clifford puts up seventy five percent 702 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 3: of Matt Crouse stats but wins the Big ten. 703 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 4: Yes, because that means he would have wins at Wisconsin, 704 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 4: home against Auburn, at Iowa, at Ohio State, a home 705 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 4: win against Michigan, in a road win at Michigan State. Absolutely, 706 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 4: he will guaranteed being the top three if he puts 707 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 4: up those numbers for twelve and ozero Penn State. 708 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 3: Shawn Clifford in the Heisman Conversation twenty twenty one comes 709 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 3: at you pretty fast. 710 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 4: G you know, Toretto move over. 711 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, get out of the way. 712 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 3: There's no odds on Brendan Armstrong, but I have to 713 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 3: point out he has thirteen hundred yards that leads all 714 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 3: quarterbacks right now eleven tds to two. I INT's hard 715 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 3: to see a Virginia quarterback winning it. Desmond Ritter now 716 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 3: ten to one. To make the top three, that's all 717 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 3: I want. That's all I want, Brett. I don't even 718 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 3: win the Heisman A top three is one of the 719 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 3: top Sam Howe twenty five to one. 720 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 2: Was at the top of this list preseason. 721 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 3: Sam Howe is now at win bet twenty five to 722 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 3: one to make the top three. His path is in 723 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 3: front of him Miami, Notre Dame, Clemson. That's the big 724 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 3: three games that he's got before the voting for the 725 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 3: Heisman to make the top three at twenty five to one. 726 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 3: The more he gets familiar, I mean, two fifty nine 727 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 3: point games in a row, the more familiar he gets 728 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 3: with his weapons, I think there's a lot of value 729 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 3: if you can get to the win bet number because 730 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 3: they're the only ones offering top three for the Heisman. 731 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 3: That is a It's a crazy number on a guy 732 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 3: that was one of the odds on favorite beginning of 733 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 3: the season. 734 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you're right, you're right, Colin, because what 735 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 4: we talked about earlier, where you know, we think this 736 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 4: could be one of the craziest years college football history. 737 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 4: We may not have any undefeated teams. If that happens, 738 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 4: there there's a lot of chaos. So somebody like like 739 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 4: a Sam how that was supposedly out of the Heisman 740 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 4: running after Week one, could could shuffle their back into 741 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 4: that if there's a lot of teams losing and a 742 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 4: lot of chaos and then in the rankings, and yeah, 743 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 4: I mean you make a great point about Sam how 744 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 4: possibly having a shot to get back up there in 745 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 4: the mix there. 746 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: All right, we're a final segment. We're going to go 747 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 2: with the playoff. 748 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 4: Payoff, playoff. We'll talk about playoff, you kidding me? 749 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 2: Playoff? All right? 750 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 3: So in the segment, we're going to talk about, you know, 751 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 3: the ap top four, Brett's Top four, my top four 752 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 3: in the Action Network power ratings. To get some odds 753 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 3: out right now, Alabama is plus one eighty to win 754 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 3: the College Football National Championship, Georgia plus two twenty two 755 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 3: SEC teams less than plus two fifty to win the 756 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 3: whole thing. That tells you the reflection that oddsmakers have 757 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 3: on Oklahoma sets to one, Clemson fifteen to one. How's 758 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 3: Ihaoa State fifteen to one. 759 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 2: I don't even get that. 760 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 3: Oregon still your Oregon ducks that you got up there 761 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 3: in the top five, they're thirty clack, Yeah, I like them.

They're 768 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 3: at eighty to one and Iowa, as we said last week, 769 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 3: still at eighty to one. Brett anything sticking out there. 770 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 3: The value on Alabama plus one eighty that I don't 771 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 3: even know if they can win the SEC. 772 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. If I'd take that number to win 773 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 2: the SEC. 774 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 4: Then certainly don't tank him National title.

I do think 779 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 4: if we have twelve and oh Alabama against twelve and 780 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 4: oh two Georgia, the loser of that game, sorry, non 781 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 4: SEC fans, the loser of that game I think makes 782 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 4: the playoff.
