Speaker 4: We got Pete Futec college football.

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: News insider coming up at about fifteen minutes his predictions prognostications.

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 4: For all the big games of the weekend.

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Coming elimination weekend for a lot of teams in college football,

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: because here we are in November and some of those

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: two loss teams that have tough games, this is what

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: knocks you out right. One thing we have seen pretty

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: I feel is a pretty good constant with the new

34
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: playoff format is that you get to three losses, you're

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: likely not making it.

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: You need some sort.

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: Of active god of some Well, this three loss team

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: is gonna somehow get in. You need like an injury

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: early in the season to your quarterback and you win

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: all those games. Really, three losses is the elimination factor

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: four teams, and we got a bunch of them. Hey,

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: two loss teams coming up this weekend playing games they

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: could lose. These are gonna knock the teams that are

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: you know, ranked seventeen, eighteen, twenty twenty two. You're cooked

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: after this right, doesn't matter where you are in the rankings,

46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: you lose that third game, you're not getting back in

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: not with this amount of time left and now with

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the number of two loss teams and teams are gonna

49
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: make it to their conference playoff championship games.

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 4: Yeah.

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 5: The other part of the equation becomes if a team

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 5: that is near to where you are, maybe a two

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 5: loss team, sustains one of those big injuries. We've seen

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 5: that before, haven't we to where all of a sudden,

55
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 5: it's like, you know what, this team's a better spot,

56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 5: you know, a better play to get into the playoffs

57
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 5: and can make some noise. Oh and if they're a

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 5: big enough school then that helps all the better. But yeah,

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: it's it's gonna be a fun final four weeks of

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 5: this season.

61
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 6: Right.

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: There's a lot of big games still on the slate,

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 5: you know, especially when you look at the Big Ten Conference,

64
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: when you look at the SEC and some of the

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 5: heavyweight battles still to come, and some that might be

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: a little off the beaten path. But as we know,

67
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: if you got a road game in November, magnify it, right,

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you know, a little bit of

69
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 5: puckering and teams rising up to play spoilers. So it's

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 5: that fun time of year.

71
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: The only thing that's gonna be that because college football

72
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: has to fix the one, the one biggest thing, right,

73
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: and it's it's not it's not anything about losses for teams,

74
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: but it's that eventually they're gonna have to take the

75
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: teams that make it to the conference championship game, right,

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: because yeah, once in a while, you're gonna get a

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: no loss team making to the conference championship against a

78
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: team that's not great, not a top twenty five team,

79
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: and yet you know they Okay, you're gonna get that.

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: But that's where it's like the NCAA tournament, you get

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: to win and get in, right, you can win and

82
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: get it right on the conference I get to go in.

83
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: But what's gonna be a thing is that you have

84
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: a two loss team headed into the conference championship game.

85
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: They lose to a team that's undefeated. Okay, but they

86
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: made it to the conference championship. They were ten and two.

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: How do you break down their season when you compare

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: them to other three or two loss teams, Like, can

89
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: you really knock them out? Because well, they lost three

90
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: games Meanwhile, other teams, a couple other teams maybe that

91
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: didn't make it to the conference championship game, are sitting

92
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: there with two losses, but you have them in. Wait

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: a minute, so you're penalizing this team because they played

94
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: an extra game against a better team, so they don't

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 1: get to get in. Mean while they made it further

96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: than the other team with two losses. Or here they

97
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: are their third losses in the conference championship game and

98
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: they're not gonna get in because a three loss Alabama

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: team that didn't even make it to the SEC title

100
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: game is going to get in ahead of them. That's

101
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: the one sticky wicket because you're going to start seeing

102
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: those two loss teams make it into the the conference

103
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: championship and it's going to be what do you do?

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: How do you how do you deal with the losing

105
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: team from that game and the fairest way? And that's

106
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: something that college football is still figuring out.

107
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, when we get to the super conferences,

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 5: it won't matter because we'll just eliminate uh the conference

109
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 5: championship games and we'll move on. But yeah, there are

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 5: going to be those circumstances, especially you know you're playing

111
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 5: in divisions where a strange happen stance and a team

112
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 5: rises up that might not fit. And you know, the

113
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 5: any given Sunday rule does apply to all of this

114
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: one one game, one fluke play, you know, a guy

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: throwing a pass or a quarterback dislodging a ball at

116
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 5: the goal line. Strange things happen to propel you to

117
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 5: victory in these games along the way. So, uh yeah,

118
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: and starting to really scoreboard watch a little bit more

119
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 5: as we get deeper into the season, right where we're

120
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 5: talking about margin of victory's quality of wins. Some of

121
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 5: those that looked monumental in Week two are now kind

122
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: of like, well, that team stinks. Did they have any

123
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 5: significant injuries? No, just things suddenly started going south. So

124
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 5: it's like, all right, how good a win was that?

125
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 6: Right?

126
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 5: And and that's part of the equation and the delicate

127
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 5: balance of college football, particularly in this new age that

128
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 5: we're in, Jason, when we're talking about the fluidity of

129
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 5: rosters and guys bouncing between schools, and you know, you're

130
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 5: coming into these preseason rankings and I'm not one that

131
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 5: says take them away. I know there's some some people

132
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 5: very loud in that camp, But there's a lot of

133
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 5: unknown there's a lot of assumptions ab how things are

134
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 5: going to play out, and then all of a sudden

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: you see teams getting waxed and problematic. We were talking

136
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 5: about that that Miami Syracuse game, right that that comes

137
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 5: up tomorrow, Like Miami, you know, at the start of

138
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: the season huge. How good are they? I don't know,

139
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 5: but they're they're in the mix right because they started

140
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 5: so strongly that there's still you know, some of that

141
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 5: that luster hasn't been lost altogether for the teams that

142
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 5: did take them down. But say they get tested by

143
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 5: your squad tomorrow, is that what's the effect? Like, what's

144
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 5: the coefficient on those losses?

145
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: If they get tested by Syracuse, We're terrible. They say,

146
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: you're out of college football.

147
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: You're you're playing well, you're just gonna get banished altogether.

148
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 4: You're playing, you're playing at FCS. Good luck, you're playing

149
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: Jackson State next week.

150
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, twenty seven or twenty eight and a half is

151
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 5: the spread for those unaware.

152
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: Just to put some color on it, but it's out.

153
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 5: But it's that kind of thing where even if you

154
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 5: win the game, do you get the same level when

155
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: we're talking about twelve a twelve team playoff. Maybe there's

156
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 5: a little more margin for that to where you don't

157
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 5: have to go impress the pollsters as you did once

158
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 5: upon a time. But it does make for some curious

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: decisions in the final minutes of games, right, whether you

160
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 5: run it up or or you stop at the one

161
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 5: or things like that. Does the margin of victory help

162
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 5: you if you were to punch it in again? So

163
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 5: we'll watch coaches grapple with that stuff and see what

164
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 5: kind of efforts we get in the fourth quarters of

165
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: some of these games that should be blowouts, but maybe

166
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: by appearances aren't because let's face it, not everybody's watching

167
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 5: sixty minutes of these games.

168
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: Right, it's a highlight league or highlight.

169
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 5: It's a highlight No no, no, Adam Silver has jurisdiction here,

170
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: highlight league highlight.

171
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: Like, uh, say, we got more college football coming up

172
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: in a few minutes, but big football Friday, couple of

173
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: NFL games we haven't gotten to yet. Look, we have

174
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: a big slate this weekend. And I'll tell you this,

175
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: I am still not one of the games of the week.

176
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: And and it's it's it's gonna be again a game

177
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: that I don't normally have a lot of rooting interest

178
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: one way or another in some games.

179
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: But for you know, the teams, I don't like that.

180
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 4: I just don't believe in. That just upset me.

181
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: I really want to see them lose. I am not

182
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna believe in Pitts. I'm never gonna believe in the Steelers.

183
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: Not this year. They should get absolutely thumped by the Chargers. Yes,

184
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: they beat Indianapolis. Indianapolis had their first stinker this year.

185
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: It happens, right, it happens. Okay, Yes, but Pittsburgh won

186
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: the game. Okay, This is where I expect the Aaron Rodgers.

187
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 4: In season decline to begin.

188
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Right because of his age, where he's at, I thought

189
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: this season was gonna go for him exactly how it's going.

190
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: Hey, he'll be okay early on.

191
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: And then the deeper the season gets, the more he plays,

192
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: the more biology is gonna catch up with him, and

193
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: suddenly it's gonna get a little bit more difficult. The

194
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: throws aren't gonna have that much kind of zip on them,

195
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: moving around is gonna get a little bit more difficult.

196
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: And this should be a game where we see that

197
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers defense should own the day. Look, Joealt being

198
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: out for the year an absolutely huge blow. Maybe he's

199
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: the MVP of the NFL. But I still expect the

200
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: Chargers to be able to do enough to win this game,

201
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: because look, Steelers defense isn't great, right, They don't again,

202
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: they don't do anything really well. They don't throw it well,

203
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: they don't run it well, they don't play defense well.

204
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: The Chargers are a terrific team. Yes, Joe Alt was

205
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: a big injury slater early in the year, but I

206
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: have to think they'll have enough against a team that

207
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: is just not really good at a lot to be

208
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: able to win this game, and win this game somewhat

209
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: comfortably and make life really difficult for Rogers on Sunday,

210
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: I'll be the most surprised guy in the world. We

211
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: come out of this and Rodgers has three touchdowns and

212
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers win, and I have to admit, well, maybe

213
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's okay, but I'd be really surprised if that happened.

214
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: Give me the Chargers, give me the Chargers to roll

215
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: up a win here, and it's a tough day, and

216
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: it's a tough stat line for Aaron Rodgers.

217
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, curious game here, because the wild card in and

218
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 5: all is what pass rush are you getting from the Steelers?

219
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 5: On paper, it looks like it should be able to

220
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: get home, right you mentioned Joe w Alt. We talk

221
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 5: about the issues they've had stand healthy on the O line.

222
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 5: They made the trade with New Orleans to bring in

223
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,359
Speaker 5: some relief and an extra body, but what that translates

224
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 5: to remains to be seen. Still waiting for Hampton to

225
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 5: get back by Doll has been pretty good and Spots

226
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 5: and Herbert spread the ball around. He's second in the

227
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: league in terms of yards per game, so still pushing it.

228
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 5: The defense has been pretty good overall. So yeah, for Pittsburgh,

229
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 5: it's just a giant question mark of what you're getting,

230
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 5: you know, the middle of the pack in terms of

231
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 5: the offense and defensive metrics and rob last week against Indianapolis,

232
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 5: well they had barely over two hundred total yards. Yeah right,

233
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 5: I mean it was not a clean game in any way,

234
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 5: shape or form. One of the I guess would go

235
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 5: in the dictionary with the picture of that box score

236
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 5: of this is how you win a game by winning

237
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 5: the turnover battle, because that's exactly what that was, right,

238
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 5: Because Jalen Warren did not run the ball well. They're

239
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 5: they're not running the ball well like you're accustomed to

240
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 5: the Steelers doing. And I think that's where ultimately this

241
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: falls up. Part Dk Metcalf's been a non existent part

242
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 5: of the game. You've gotten some run from the tight

243
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: ends on occasion, but I just don't think offensively they

244
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 5: can do enough to make this work unless they get

245
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: the pass rush that sets them up on the doorstep,

246
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 5: and that's not going to happen with Herbert in this offense.

247
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: No, And look, the Chargers play in the toughest division

248
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL and the Steelers playing the worst. Okay,

249
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, on paper this looks like it's Hey, these

250
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: two are equal. No, the Chargers should win this game,

251
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: and if they don't, my pick of Chargers Broncos AFC

252
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Championship game from the beginning of the season.

253
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: I love it.

254
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: But man, if they can't win this game and it's

255
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: the first game with Joe alt out and you know

256
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: there's no other help coming, there's no trade deadline. I

257
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: really thought they'd be a little bit more active offensive

258
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: line wise to try to because they knew what was

259
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: going to be done. So why did they didn't make

260
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: a move. But man, if they have a tough time

261
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: in this game against the defense, that's just okay. And

262
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: they're playing at home. Man, it really is time to

263
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 1: sit back and say, Okay, things look great for the

264
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: Chargers early, but maybe it's just not their year and

265
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: they needed to. As much as Harbaugh built the offensive line,

266
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: he's got some more work to do in the offseason

267
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: because a couple of injuries will have torpedoed their year

268
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: because it's been up and back, up and back, and

269
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: eventually the good teams start taking off. And this is

270
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: where the Chargers should, in theory, be able to take off.

271
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: And if they don't this week, man, I don't know

272
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: what to say. That's gonna be a tough one.

273
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: I was told it was their year. The billboards in

274
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 5: between all the accident attorneys told me it was their year.

275
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm telling you. You called Jacob, you can

276
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: call Larry H. Parker, you call somebody else to fight

277
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: for you.

278
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,120

Speaker 6: I'm just going to help out all those people, those

317
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 6: starving YouTube TV people that you know. I'll just tell

318
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 6: you what's going to happen, you know, so there's no

319
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 6: you're not missing out on anything. You go take a walk,

320
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 6: or go look at fall colors, or do something else

321
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 6: of your Saturday. So you're not All the good games

322
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 6: are pretty much going to be on regular TV and

323
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 6: you're not really this much.

324
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: Okay, And there you go. That's good. I like that,

325
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 4: you know that. You know, that's the one thing, Pete,

326
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 4: this whole.

327
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 6: I'm y, I'm trying to make everything better though. I'm

328
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 6: trying to help help. You know.

329
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: It's funny because you know, obviously we spend some time

330
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: talking about that this week and the whole YouTube thing,

331
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, the one thing that ESPN

332
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: has to really understand is that once you show that

333
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: you can get along without something, people don't come back

334
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: to it. And no one is underserved with college football.

335
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: Like if I can't watch Alabama Tennessee, okay, I'll watch

336
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: Oregon and Penn State, right, I'll watch Michigan and Nebraska.

337
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Like if I'm not getting what is a big game,

338
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm okay because I can still watch other great college

339
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: football games. And that's not something where oh I gotta

340
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: get back ESPN to see this game.

341
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: No.

342
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: I can get games on Fox and CBS and everywhere else,

343
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: all across the dial.

344
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 6: It's not the NFL, and so it's it's the thing

345
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 6: that everyone has to remember is that it's so provincial

346
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 6: that everyone assumes all everyone cares about Alabama and Georgia.

347
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 6: Well they do get the biggest rating TV ratings and

348
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 6: all that, but yeah, it's everyone in the South watches it.

349
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 6: It's not like you know, and then of course people

350
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 6: watch on national scale, but like they're you know, Ohio

351
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 6: States fans don't know, you know, Vanderbilt exists, you know,

352
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 6: like invice versa. So like it's just sort of hard

353
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 6: for this and you're right with this is proving more

354
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 6: than anything else. It's just the game. The rest of

355
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 6: the talking blah blah blah. It's just it's just it's

356
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 6: you don't need it, you know, nobody really is gonna

357
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 6: miss that stuff. So and then I'll put it to

358
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 6: this like it's for the NBA, like that's gonna quickly

359
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 6: turn when you can't get NBA games on YouTube TV.

360
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 6: And for me who doesn't really care until the playoffs. Okay,

361
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 6: here's a game on somewhere. I'll have it on in

362
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 6: the background. But am I going to like go out

363
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 6: of my way and pay for it?

364
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 4: Now? All right?

365
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: So while we get to see whatever games we all

366
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: get to see tomorrow, we don't look we get into

367
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: the elimination part of the season, right. We talked about

368
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: that a lot tonight, because here's usc with two losses,

369
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: their next loss knocks them out. We got a lot

370
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: of teams now in the back end of the top

371
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: twenty and then in the top twenty five with a

372
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: couple of losses, You see any elimination games for any

373
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: of those teams this weekend that hey, guess what that

374
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: third loss means.

375
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: You're gonna be cooked.

376
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 6: Everyone, And if you have losen to the third game,

377
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: it's over everyone. If you, yeah, there's no way unless

378
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 6: you can somehow manage to get into a conference ship

379
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 6: Power four conference championship with three losses or with two

380
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 6: losses and then lose that championship games, you're there's no

381
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 6: way if you cannot go nine and three and get

382
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 6: into this college football playoffs. Not this year, it's just

383
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 6: it's just not going to happen because there's too many teams,

384
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 6: there's too much traffic. So for example, the Oregon Iowa

385
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 6: game tomorrow, that's an elimination game pretty much. If you

386
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 6: think that Iowa's going to lose, so Oregon can still

387
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 6: stay alive, but obviously would take a big hit Iowa.

388
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 6: That's gonna be a problem if they can't get that done.

389
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 6: But really, for the most part, what you're looking for

390
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 6: if you're a fan of a two loss if you're

391
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 6: a USC fan, or if you're say a Missouri fan,

392
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 6: and you can pull that off against Texas A and

393
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 6: m tomorrow or two loss teams, you need notre Dame

394
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 6: and or preferably both Miami to lose because those two

395
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 6: are going to screw up everyone. Because no matter what

396
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 6: happens in the next few seconds here in Memphis, Tulane,

397
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 6: South Florida is going to rip through everyone else and

398
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 6: the domino effect from there because South Florida is going

399
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 6: to get in Miami destroyed South Florida. Notre Dame is

400
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 6: going to get incase it's going to be ten and two.

401
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 6: Miami beat Notre Dame. So it might be low on

402
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 6: the totem pole, but you need another Miami loss or

403
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 6: it's going to be the ten seed and all this

404
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 6: Q show.

405
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 4: Syrahcuse to save college football as we.

406
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 6: Know it, Yes, exactly. Hey you know what, let's see

407
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 6: if they can do that. That's just bomb away. They're

408
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 6: still throwing, all right. They just can't stop anybody or

409
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 6: score point. It's like they forget to score points, like

410
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 6: moving like yeah, well shoot, we've got to score okay.

411
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 6: Uh but yeah, like you said, I'm with you. I'm

412
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 6: actually I've actually lifted your thought here. If you want

413
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 6: to say who is the MVP of the season, well

414
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 6: who's more MVP year than you know, Steve and Jelly,

415
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 6: because geez, yeah, I mean everything.

416
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: Syracuse is three and one. We beat Clemson. He's a

417
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: leading passer in the country. And now we haven't won

418
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: a game six just to terrible.

419
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 6: And they can't score. And if that just can't win,

420
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 6: they went from being this high octane thing to you know,

421
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 6: maybe you'll score, maybe it won't. I mean, it's it's

422
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 6: been completely chick But tomorrow is gonna be painful because

423
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 6: actually the other big here, here's the other factor in this.

424
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 6: And I haven't actually checked lately to see if this matters.

425
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 6: I believe the game is at like three thirty in

426
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 6: the afternoon in Miami Gardens time. That's gonna be It's

427
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 6: not gonna be football weather in terms, that's that's gonna be.

428
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 6: And the other one is gonna be, uh Arizona, So

429
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 6: it's Arizona is going to be playing in the middle

430
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 6: of the day where it's gonna be about eighty five

431
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 6: degrees and Tucson so like any you know, midday start times.

432
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 6: They're gonna take their toll on some of these teams.

433
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 5: That Arizona Kansas game sitting there. Yeah, it's it's a

434
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: curious slate. We don't have a lot of the top

435
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 5: twenty five's matched up here. But Pete, we've been talking

436
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 5: about trying to find that edge, and I guess I'll

437
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 5: ask the next question, who's the next coach getting fired

438
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 5: at the end of tomorrow.

439
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 6: It ain't Luke Pickle apparently, Now.

440
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 4: How about that?

441
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 3: What's he got going on?

442
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't Maybe it's maybe it's me,

443
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 6: maybe because I refuse to drop a dime of nil

444
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 6: money to the school that like, I don't know, but yeah,

445
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 6: they're gonna get a bigger commitment to you know, something

446
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 6: or other. I don but yeah, but look, you know,

447
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 6: everyone's on a hot seat now. It's crazy. I mean,

448
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 6: it still kind of gets lost in the in the

449
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 6: whole shuffle here, but you know, Alabama's this presumptive national

450
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 6: championship contender. It got blown off pretty fast that they

451
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 6: were a miracle against South Carolina if you bet a

452
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 6: little a little while back away from this being kal

453
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 6: in the Moore hot seat game. So but I do

454
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 6: sort of think that that's I am curious to see

455
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 6: what's gonna happen with Frank Wilson taking over there for

456
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 6: Brian Kelly, because from all little indications, there's not anybody

457
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 6: on that team who is extremely upset about the Brian Kelly,

458
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 6: you know, firing in this so let's see if that

459
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 6: team comes out shot and comes out shot like a cannon.

460
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 6: So that's gonna be a pretty fun game to watch

461
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 6: when they go against Bama tomorrow night.

462
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 5: S Yeah, I brought that up to you earlier, Smith saying, hey,

463
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 5: it's the wild card because you know, normally you boil

464
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 5: it down to all right, we're just not good whatever.

465
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 5: There were a lot more stories that started circulating about

466
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 5: Brian Kelly than your usual firing. It's not just hey,

467
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 5: here's his record against top twenty five, top ten, top five, whatever.

468
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 6: How about I think they were bringing out the training camp,

469
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 6: blocking sleds and things like in the last two weeks.

470
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 6: They're just doing the old school Oklahoma type thing, you know, drill,

471
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 6: isn't it just little things like that? But like, who

472
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 6: knows because we're seeing that though, because you're seeing you know,

473
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 6: the coach takes, the coach leaves, new coach comes in,

474
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, they kind of just play.

475
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 6: It's like, and this is this has been a kind

476
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 6: of a theme I've been thinking about with quarterbacks. You know,

477
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 6: certainly when you can just tell when they're just they're

478
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 6: they're just over coach, not to screw up and then

479
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, you have a two minute drill

480
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 6: and they can just let it rip. It be a quarterback,

481
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, it look great. Well, sometimes

482
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 6: that happens with teams, you know, whether it's UAB coming

483
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 6: out and beating this Memphis team, or you know, you

484
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 6: know u c l a all of a sudden, you know,

485
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 6: taking a deep breath and looking great for a little while,

486
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 6: or you know, I you know, Florida's been was okay

487
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 6: against Georgia, even though I think the billion nape, your

488
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 6: timing was pretty curious. So I'm really curious that I'm

489
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 6: curious to see I think, actually, I know there are

490
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 6: other circumstances around is firing at the old place, But

491
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 6: I think Auburn just upgraded from Hugh Freeze to DJ Durkin.

492
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 6: I'm I'm really curious to see what All does over

493
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 6: the next few weeks because they've been close. That's another

494
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 6: Syracuse like team that just can't score. And if they

495
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 6: could just start to put a few more points on

496
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 6: the board. Their defense has been great, they could screw

497
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 6: someone up over the next few weeks.

498
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: Pete fu Tech College Footballnews dot Com with us Jason

499
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

500
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: You know one thing I love Pete as this season

501
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: evolves is that, look they're on the big Nude Kickoff tomorrow.

502
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: I like the fact that Indiana has become America's team

503
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five, Like they've become that the little

504
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: engine that could with zero football history at all, and

505
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: here's a guy, they have a guy that could be

506
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft, and they're undefeated,

507
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: and it's it's such a shock for everybody, but everybody

508
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: loves Indiana. Everybody America's team twenty twenty five.

509
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 6: I apparently found out to my wife actually knows Fernando

510
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 6: Mendoza's mom. So do you know who this is? This

511
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 6: Fernando Mendoza. Yeah, I know who he is, Like okay,

512
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 6: like in the small little world of Scoga. But by

513
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 6: the way, the whole Indiana being America's team, have you

514
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 6: talked to anybody from OH, I don't know, Alabama or

515
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 6: SEC Country because they're still living off the narrative the

516
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 6: oh Indiana can't beat it. It hasn't played anybody sort

517
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 6: of narrative. And I'd had to point out way too

518
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 6: many times in the last week and a half or so.

519
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 6: They beat Oregon at Oregon by double digits. They destroyed Illinois,

520
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 6: they beat Iowa at Iowa, and there's just there's they've

521
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 6: been flawless against everyone else. I mean, they've just you know, okay,

522
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 6: so if your schedule isn't is crazy, you might dig there.

523
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 6: Well what do they do? They come out there and

524
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 6: they win every game by double digits. They've just been

525
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 6: fantastic so far. And it's you know, I'm with you.

526
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 6: At the very least, it provides hope, and it really

527
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 6: screws up the idea of you know, not being able

528
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 6: to be great right away, because sometimes that's whatever one's

529
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 6: qu's what everyone's firing their coach because they see, well,

530
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 6: Indiana can do it, Why can't LSU or Florida you know,

531
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 6: any of these teams you know, pop up right away.

532
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 6: It's not that easy. So Netti is just just a generational,

533
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 6: talented guy. And I keep saying, look, if you're Penn State,

534
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 6: if you're LSU, if you're Florida, pony up. It's only

535
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 6: a fifteen million dollars buyout to get him out of there,

536
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 6: Go get.

537
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 4: Them, Pete.

538
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: I would be remiss.

539
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 5: We talked about it a little bit earlier in the show,

540
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 5: and I see the headline on College footballnews dot Com

541
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 5: Colorado versus West Virginia prediction the Big Twelve's most interesting

542
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 5: game is is it the final throws of the Dion run.

543
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's that. I mean because still

544
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, if it was, it's

545
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 6: the most Obviously Texas Tech BYU is the biggest game.

546
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 6: That's it. But in terms of just being interesting for

547
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 6: like you said, all the storylines, because it's not just

548
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 6: that they're not winning, I mean, they're getting they they

549
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 6: just don't look like they can play football. I mean,

550
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 6: this has been a colossal meltdown over the last two games.

551
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 6: And if they get hammered again, like you know, forty

552
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 6: five to seven or something by West Virginia, who that's

553
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 6: another team that can't score except for last week. If

554
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 6: Alison's rich Rod thing works, that's what kind of makes

555
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 6: it interesting. And the problem is this kind of goes

556
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 6: for everything. If Colorado, if that wasn't Deon Sanders, if

557
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 6: that was just coach, you know, Joan, then you'd still say, look,

558
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 6: you know Colorado from where they were three years ago.

559
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 6: It's still in great shape. It's still you know, rising up,

560
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 6: it's still rebuilding. You can meet. There's also just a

561
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 6: narrative you can take to it. But because it was

562
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 6: so overhyped before then now it's just you's got to

563
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 6: be able to at least show that you can there's

564
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 6: life after Shador Sanders, because obviously he was the reason

565
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 6: why they won so many really close games.

566
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: Yep, I look at it this way, Pete as that

567
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: look you see that they've lost the last two weeks

568
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: combined score of like one hundred and twenty to thirty. Like,

569
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a year where it's going

570
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: to be a bad year. There's no bowl game where

571
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: he is in a winneror go home type situation. Next

572
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: year where if he doesn't win, get to a bowl game.

573
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: Show he's got things going right direction. Colorado's going to

574
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: move on, as.

575
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 6: I keep thinking, I wouldn't be shocked if you had

576
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 6: moved if deonce is he moved on to Florida State.

577
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, look, it's

578
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 6: the problem is for and I kind of I've always

579
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 6: I've been in a Bashi anderstand and I actually liked

580
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 6: what he did, and I still do like he did.

581
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 6: What you want to do if you're a long suffering

582
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 6: you know, Fanda, you want to see guys. And he

583
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 6: came in and said, you guys aren't good at football.

584
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 6: I'm getting rid of the bad guys at football and

585
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 6: I'm bringing the good guys who are football. And they were,

586
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 6: you know, but the problem is there's an infrastructure there.

587
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 6: It takes years to find the right five guys for

588
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 6: a starting line. It takes years unless you're Texas Tech.

589
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 6: They're also a lot of money to get that defensive

590
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 6: line right, and they are not. It's it's, you know,

591
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 6: the whole cliche blocking and tackling. They are not blocking

592
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 6: and tackling very well. So yeah, it's it's been an

593
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 6: ugly run for them.

594
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,800

736
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,000

Speaker 4: six seven doesn't.

775
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,920

Speaker 4: Six seven? Six seven?

781
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: So that's where it started, but now it's gotten to

782
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: a point because adults have been crazed about it that now,

783
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: just the mention of the numbers six seven start this

784
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: this explosion of yelling and screaming and different stuff. Anytime

785
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,239

Speaker 1: for doing what they do on the field of play,

792
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: but then they get so incredibly famous they're a celebrity,

793
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: which means you're famous for being you, Like Tiger Woods

794
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,680
