I 50 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: r L as the kids call it. Simon, let me 51 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: ask you a question. Have you made any college football 52 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: bets yet? So you're gonna ask me about my new car? 53 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, we can talk about college football. Chat. I've 54 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: made two bets on college football. One is pretty stupid, 55 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: as you know. Chat. I'm an old soul and I 56 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: used to love to say Dick Van Dyke. I don't 57 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: know why. As a kid I used to love to 58 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: say Dick Van Dyke, So of course I bet for 59 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: Heisman Tyler van Dyke, no other reason. Then Dick van Dyke, 60 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: so that was my one stupid bet. And then every 61 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: year I always bet Banna. It's like the It was 62 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: like the Tom Brady era, no matter what, as soon 63 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: as season ended, our first two bets were always Brady 64 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: minus usually two hundred or minus one three hundred to 65 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: win the a f C East and then Tom Brady 66 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, which was usually pretty good 67 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: value is probably like plus eight hundred plus seven hundred 68 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: for a lot of those years. So same thing with Bama. 69 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: Every year the off season comes around, first bet I 70 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: make always Bama national champ. All right, well guess what, Uh, 71 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: Colin Wilson is joining us. Before we dig into your 72 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: reaction to spring practice, your reaction to coaching changes your 73 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: thoughts on long shot Heisman, your CFB futures that you bet. 74 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: I know you always like to make a very early 75 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: bet as soon as the futures are posted in Vegas. Uh, 76 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: can you take on Simon's long shot Heisman and his 77 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: CFB future? Well, you can't knock anybody that's gonna take Alabama. 78 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: I would knock his price because I think it's two 79 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: to round two to one around the market. But assume 80 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: that they lose a game somewhere, what's that future gonna 81 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: go to plus two twenty five plus two fifty. It's 82 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: never gonna get better than right now. I would argue though, 83 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: that if you're going to bet on Alabama, you probably 84 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: should take a Brice Young future because the price is 85 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: better at plus three fifty, and then you can hedge 86 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: it with say, you know one of the teams that's 87 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: gonna make the final four. I'm sorry that the college 88 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: football playoff against that. So if Alabama is going to 89 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: have a flawless season like they did two years ago 90 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: and they're gonna post the Heisman winner like they did 91 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: last year, probably gonna get a better number with uh 92 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: their quarterback than you are for them to win it all? 93 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: All right? What about Tyler van Dyke? I love Tyler 94 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: Van Dyke, former baseball player. Uh. He covered a lot 95 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: of spreads, hit a lot of overs for everybody, and 96 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: now he has Josh Gaddis as his offensive coordinator. If 97 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: you're unfamiliar with that, he is the reason Josh Gaddis 98 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: is a reason Michigan football on offense was so spectacular 99 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: on the ground last year. Now Kristal Ball goes out says, 100 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: I need an offensive coordinator. I want the best in 101 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: the land. He gets Josh Gaddis, who used to be 102 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: a saving disciple, very well known throughout And so you're 103 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: gonna see tempo in space and a lot of Van Dyke, 104 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: and the a c C is up for grabs. And 105 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: we can talk about this. Clemson is not Clemson anymore. 106 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: The a c C Is up for grabs. So I 107 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: don't hate it. But if you're gonna win the Heisman, 108 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: you have to make the college football Playoff. That's just 109 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: the way things are these days. And I'm not sure 110 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Miami can do that. All I want to make sure 111 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: people knew Tyler Van Dyke, quarterback at Miami. Josh Gaddis 112 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator at Miami. That's who we're talking about. Uh, Colin, 113 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: you famously will make a bet as soon as you 114 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: possibly can on college football futures, um while you're in 115 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: Vegas for the college football National Title Game. Tell me 116 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: right now the bets you made as soon as the 117 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: futures hit the board, and you could when you were 118 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: in Vegas. We were in Vegas during the National Championship Game, 119 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: and there were multiple six figure tickets in that booth 120 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: at the West Gate, and everybody was concentrating on the 121 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter, and I was already thinking 122 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: about what team I'm hitting for next year. The second 123 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: the game was over. I won't name the sports book, 124 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: but they posted eight to one on Ohio State. I 125 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: slammed it. Now, it's five to one everywhere right now. 126 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: You can't convince me otherwise that this is an Alabama 127 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: Ohio State year. In the National Championship Game, they returned 128 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: the guy that won the Heisman. Ohio State returns a 129 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: guy that finished fourth. They have the best weapons outside 130 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: of the tight ends. And let's not forget that Ohio 131 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: State now has Jim Knowles as defensive coordinator. You wonder 132 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: why Oklahoma State was so good because they had Jim Knowles. 133 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: He's got the mightas touch. Everything he turns is gold. 134 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: Ohio State's biggest problem the last couple of years. They 135 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: can't play any defense, and they get into shootouts with teams. 136 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: That's not a problem anymore. He's gonna come in and 137 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: clean up. But they have two different defensive coordinators last 138 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: year that a guy take over interim, one guy in 139 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: the box, come down to the field. It's been a 140 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: mess of Ohouse State. But that's not gonna be a 141 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: problem for Ryan Day. Five to one on Ohio State 142 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: to win the national championship. That is a game. I 143 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: expect him to play Alabama and and meet each other 144 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: in college. Were all playoff in the finals Alabama right now, 145 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: it's about plus one s five. No, No, you're right, 146 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: plus one, Georgia about plus three fifties, So three and 147 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: a half to one Ohio State a little a little 148 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: bit lower than five to one. Um, and let's see, 149 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: we got uh Clemson at ten to one, and then 150 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: we dip into the thirties to one, fourties to one, etcetera, etcetera. 151 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: So you hammered Ohio State about five to one. Did 152 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: you go deeper down the board? I did, and I 153 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: took a shot on a real long, dark course and 154 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: let me start in the A sec. So obviously, if 155 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: you can win your conference with one loss, you're gonna 156 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: go to the collegeur ball playoff, unless you're a soft 157 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: packed ball team. So I'll leave the height against USC 158 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: aside because they don't play any defense and they return 159 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: less than on the defensive side of the ball. That 160 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: may work to win the Big twelve, but you're not 161 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: gonna win anything past that. So let me start in 162 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: the a sec where they're gonna produce somebody that's gonna 163 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: go to the college football Playoff. It's not gonna be Clemson. 164 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: I know Clemson has this high number, and I know 165 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: everybody wants Clemson to go to the playoff and return 166 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: to glory. But I think we're starting to realize how 167 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: important Isaiah Simmons was on defense and how electric Travis E. 168 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: T n was. He was everything out of the backfield 169 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: catching the ball. Now he's in the NFL and they 170 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: have never been able to replace him in the backfield. 171 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: Fast forward to the spring game and think about d 172 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: j Uley. He had more interceptions and touchdowns last year. 173 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: His decision making has just spiraled downward since that Notre 174 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Dame game during the pandemic. He comes to the spring 175 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: game this last Saturday, seventeen and thirty six overthrows everybody. Uh, 176 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: not impressive. Now, his big claim it Clemson is that 177 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: he's gonna lose a bunch of weight this offseason. He's 178 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: gonna show up to fall camp and be accurate, precise, 179 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: and sinc That's not what we saw in the spring. 180 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: I want nothing to do with Clemson and the team 181 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: that returns on both sides of the ball, that kept 182 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 1: all their coordinators, that is just going to be ferocious 183 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: and beat Clemson last year. Is NC State. NC State 184 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: right now I think is sitting out that ad and 185 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: thirty to one win the national championship. I can't say 186 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna like pull back the rubber band and throw, 187 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of hundred dollar bills one state 188 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: to win the national championship, but to win the SEC 189 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: you better bet there's gonna be a few dimes thrown 190 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: down on the Wolfpack because this team is already beating Clemson. 191 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: They have the confidence. They have everybody back there loaded. Now, 192 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: have you seen any type of line movement in future 193 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: markets with like the spring practice kicking off and different 194 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: guys scouting different players is does that make any type 195 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: of movement so far coming to the season. Well, there 196 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: was some movement on Clemson. I didn't understand it because 197 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: DJ Ailey did not look good whatsoever. There was some 198 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: twelve ones out there. They got chipped down to ten 199 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: to one from a Heisman perspective. Happily, there's one guy 200 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: that has not moved and that's the guy who I'm 201 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: centering on next looking for the best number. But I 202 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: can tell you that Jackson Smith Najiba is fifty two 203 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: one out there. And I know my podcast partner over 204 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: on BBOC, we both salivated over watching this wide receiver 205 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: from Ohio State dominate the Rose Bowl. This may be 206 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: the best player in college football. And I think it's 207 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: important to know it's like this is a quarterback College 208 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: Football Playoff Award now. But DeVonta Smith, you know, happily 209 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL now with the Eagles, He's a wide 210 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: receiver that during a pandemic with an undefeated team that 211 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: went on to win the National Championship, won the award 212 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. Jash and Smith and the JIGBA 213 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: is going to get everything from c. J. Stroud. He's 214 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: going to make a highlight every week. And now he 215 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: has a defense, it's gonna get him more possessions. It's 216 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: gonna give more chances for explosive plays. And so I 217 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: think the floodgates are going to kind of open up 218 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: on wide receivers a little bit and realizing that with 219 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: the r p O it's not always about the quarterback. 220 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: If you have a weapon like this, they can win 221 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: the Heisman. So fifty two one, you can count me 222 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: in on a high state's biggest weapon. It's actually sixty one, right, yeah, 223 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: grab it. Spring practice is always an interesting time. How 224 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: much are you are you paying attention to spring practices? 225 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: Explain like your process and understanding and what that does 226 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: to influence how you think about handicapping through the rest 227 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: of the year. A few years ago, Trevor Lawrence came 228 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: out and was hitting te Higgins on a dime. I said, 229 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: Clemson's gonna win the national championship. Guess what? They won, 230 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: the National championship. Down Fields shot on the sideline. Welcome 231 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: to clubs, Lace, but they wanted because of their defense. 232 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: Kelly Bryant was out. It wasn't because the offense, because 233 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: the defense. A couple of years ago, Justin Fields transfers 234 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: from Georgia to Ohio State. He goes four or thirteen 235 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 1: in the spring game, and then I write up some 236 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: content for us and said, I'm just not sure. Justin 237 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: Fields is a guy, and Kirby Smart knew what he 238 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: was doing. That was wrong. So do I take stock 239 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: in these spring games. Listen, Justin Fields went for for 240 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: thirteen and then went on to have this amazing season 241 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: for Ohio State and now he's a quarterback for Chad's 242 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. But I don't put a lot of stock 243 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: in this. Kids have bad days, it's cold, sometimes there's 244 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: new schemes, there's new coaches. I don't put a ton 245 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: of stock. I do put a ton of stock on 246 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: how often you're on the field, how often you're used. 247 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: And if I see a scheme change, it's been made 248 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: by a coordinator that wants to utilize a certain aspect 249 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: of the offense or the defense. So that's where I 250 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: look more into than just saying Justin Fields before a thirteen. 251 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: He must be terrible on the fact about that national 252 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: title game with Trevor Lawrence, my mentor Bob, that's his 253 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: biggest loss of his career. Bet on a game Nick 254 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: Saban versus rookie quarter rookie or freshman quarterback. The should 255 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: have been free money for Bama. There's a reason, there's 256 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: a reason these bookmakers know what they're doing. He fell 257 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: right into that trap of taking Bama against the first 258 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence, like you just talked about, it 259 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: was an incredible performance. So here's my question. Though, you're 260 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: coming down on d j at Clemson because he was 261 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: seventeen or thirty six and overthrown people, why why do 262 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: you treat that differently than say other elements of the 263 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: spring game? Because there was an unknown with Justin Fields. 264 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: He didn't get any playing time. Uh you know, I 265 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: mean there was Jake From Why was Jake From getting 266 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: all the playing time over Justin Fields? Justin Fields was 267 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: high as highly recruited as Trevor Lawrence. So there must 268 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: be something going on with Georgia and we don't know 269 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: why Justin Fields is not getting any playing time. Now, 270 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: when you see d j Ung Galile spend all of 271 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: last year missing all of his wide receivers, missing all 272 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: of his targets, overthrows, intercept all on him, it had 273 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: nothing to do with his stable of targets. It had 274 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: to do with him. And when he shows up in 275 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: the spring and those timing issues have have not been resolved, 276 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: and his mobility issues in the pocket have not been resolved, 277 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: there's no I'm fading Clemson as much as I possibly 278 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: can because these problems with DJ and and if Dabbo 279 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: is just gonna stick next to him for a full 280 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: another year, then you're gonna end up with Clemson with three, 281 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: four or five losses. Again, yeah, he's honestly, he's a 282 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: great athlete. But I think you just touched on it. 283 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: Some of the worst footwork I've ever watching a quarterback, 284 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: just watching him play last year, and I didn't watch 285 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: a spring tape yet, but if he's still overthrowing, guys 286 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: are only throwing him same thing. He's thrown off his 287 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: back foot, which he consistently did all of last year. 288 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't set his feet. So again, that's one of 289 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: those things where this kid was a great athlete his 290 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: whole life, probably what a top five prospect heading to Clemson. 291 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: But he's not improving. He's just relying on his God 292 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: given abilities. So that is actually really interesting you just 293 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: said that. That's to me, that's a big negative towards Clemson. 294 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: I like that you're trying to take advantage of faith 295 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: in them this year. Who else when you're watching spring game? 296 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: You mentioned NC State Schematically have you seen that piques 297 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: your interest positively re negatively? Well, I've already put a bet. 298 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: The second win totals were released on the SEC West, 299 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: I immediately hit Arkansas kind of a homer. Let me 300 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: back it up. Came out at six and a half 301 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: a plus money. We're gonna release our projections here this 302 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: summer and you're gonna have Arkansas about seven point nine. 303 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: But really it's just easy. Arkansas runs the ball and 304 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: if you can't defend the run, you're gonna get beat. 305 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: There are eight teams on their schedule that cannot defend 306 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: the run, and Arkansas will just pulverize them. So eight 307 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: wins is where Arkansas is gonna be. So I would 308 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: take advantage on over seven and seven a half. Texas 309 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: A and M is a tough one, I mean tricky. 310 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: The number that I have is eight point nine. Number 311 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: came out opener on at nine. Everybody wants Texas A 312 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: and M to make the College Football Playoff. But the 313 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: problem is, if you're not gonna beat Nick Saban, you're 314 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: gonna be stuck in that number five slot for the 315 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: rest of eternity. Jimbo, because the pro style offense doesn't work. 316 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: You don't go five wides. You've got the most amazing 317 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: talent all of college football, but you won't change your scheme, 318 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: and if I don't see a change in the spring, 319 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: you're not gonna change it this fall. And he has 320 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: a new defensive coordinator, Mike Elco's now head coach at 321 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: at Duke. So you know, I could shoot holes in 322 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: all these teams. I didn't see anything in the spring game. 323 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: USC doesn't play any defense. They return less than Michigan 324 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: just lost all their offensive coordinators back on defense, Mike 325 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: McDonald went back to the Ravens. He was their defensive 326 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: coordinator and the reason why Michigan so good on defense 327 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: because he brought in a whole new scheme and all 328 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're tackling, they're blitzing, havoc everywhere. He's gone. 329 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: I think Michigan is another team you can fade this 330 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: year thirty to one. You couldn't for I wouldn't buy 331 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: a ticket on them. And then Notre Dame. Like I understand, 332 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly left and Tommy Grees the offensive coordinator State, 333 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: but he's one of the most conservative offensive play callers, 334 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: and now Brian Kelly isn't there to mentor him, and 335 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: new head coach Marcus Freeman only cares about defense. I 336 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: don't know how this team is thirty five to one. 337 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: They their second order win total, which is a pathag 338 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: way of saying they really overachieved last year, says that 339 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: they're going to struggle this year in a really brutal schedule. 340 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: So there are some dark horses out there. There are 341 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: two known teams Alabama, Ohio State, and there's two others. 342 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: Michigan and Cincinnati were first time college football playoff teams 343 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: last year. There's gonna be two new ones this year. Also, 344 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: I like how you you used an obscure analytics abbreviation 345 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: to describe and obscure analytic stat I'm not I'm in 346 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: mid season four and it's aprils. You really are like 347 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: you are. You have gone deep into the rabbit hole 348 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: and listen. This is how committed you are to betting. 349 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: I know how much golf you're betting and researching. I 350 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: know how much college baseball, I know how much Major 351 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: League Baseball. The fact you've got all this in there, 352 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: you are a true professional. I was working on these 353 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: numbers at the end of the National Championship Game, and 354 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: college football is always going to be king in the 355 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: heart as much as I bet everything else. And as 356 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: much as I love my Hogs, the you know, the 357 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: college football rules everything in this house. Real quick, I 358 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: got one more. I gotta asked Colm about Heisman? Am 359 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: I crazy for Benonis? I got him an eight to 360 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: one right now? In Fandel, I've seen the talent. Know 361 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: it was always only at the home games where he 362 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: would actually be good. We've seen the talent though. I 363 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: really do think this kid look is pretty legit. New 364 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: scenior is like, am I crazier? Eight one on bo? 365 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty pretty big number for a 366 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: guy that again we've seen him flash elite talent. I'm 367 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: not gonna call you crazy, but I will say that 368 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: that's probably a bet you can burn because first off, 369 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: look out how many Higsman winners came, uh you know 370 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: how how many of them came west of the Mississippi River. 371 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: Not a lot of them. And it goes back to 372 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: the voting base. And the voting base is so East 373 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: Coast based, so Big ten based, so sec based, that 374 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: the pack Fell players don't get a lot of love 375 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: because they play so late at night. Now, remember the 376 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: new organ head coach is a defensive coordinator from Georgia. 377 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: By the way, that's a Week one game that's gonna 378 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: be one of the most exciting games Georgia oregan, especially 379 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: considering the defensive coordinators. Now head coach of Oregon wins 380 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: that game, Yeah, yeah, he'll drop big time. But at 381 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: the same time, he still got a deal with Bryce 382 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: Young and c J. Stroud. I mean, is a two 383 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: headed monster in the Heisman market that's never going away. 384 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: Bow Knicks transferring. If Matt Mitchell doesn't do a bo 385 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: nixt season in full effect, drop on this podcast, but 386 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: nixt season in full effects. For those who have listened 387 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: to Action Network podcasts from the beginning, bone Knicks had 388 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: been at Auburn a constant presence in every single college 389 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: football podcast because of his sort of up and down talent. Colin, 390 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit, a little bit sort of misty 391 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: eyed not having bone Nicks at Auburn this year. I 392 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: had no clue years ago the Boone Nicks would generate 393 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: the kind of hate on the voicemails. Just by saying anything, 394 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: you can even compliment them, you're gonna get phone calls. 395 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know if those Auburn people are still around. 396 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: I think they're hiding under a tree. What's going on 397 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: with Brian Harson? Uh, if you want to do some research, 398 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: find out what's going on off the field down there. 399 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: It not pretty. So we'll see if Auburn fans will 400 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: be chirping or if those really were bo Nicks fanboys. 401 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: I don't know what they were, but it really struck 402 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: a chord with a lot of betters. Anytime the word 403 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: bo Nix has said, I think about the very early 404 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: days of action.

You look at 443 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: the board, it falls off sharply after Alabama and Ohio State, 444 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: and you're really looking for those two other pieces.

Come on, listen. I came on this show, 449 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: I think three years ago, and I told you you 450 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: was gonna make the college Football Playoff, and those guys 451 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: lost in the fourth quarter to organ that Pactrol Champions 452 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: are gonna so close to pulling that off, calling that 453 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: so early, So I'll say NC State it's gonna win 454 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: the a c C. And then if I had to 455 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: go with a fourth spot. Boy. Part of me really 456 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: wants to talk about how good L s U is, 457 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: partly really wants to talk about there. I think a 458 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: team from the West can lose one game and make 459 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And I don't think it's gonna be Georgia. 460 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: There's just too much turnover going on on defense. But 461 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: L s U has a ton of talent now they 462 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: have the coach, Brian Kelly will win a Nastal championship 463 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: at L s U. I don't think it's gonna be 464 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: this year. There's just too many transfers, new coordinating, new 465 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: schemes on both sides of the ball. Brian Kelly will 466 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: win an actual championship there. I'm just not sure if 467 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be this year. But a one lost team 468 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: from the SEC will fill that role. Now, I don't 469 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Georgia. Could be somebody from the West, 470 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: and that team could be a m I don't think 471 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: so could be L s U. Probably not this year, 472 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: but I'll go with second SEC team and I'll allow 473 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: everybody else to kind of pick who that is. I mean, 474 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson still in Florida. Although I do not discuss 475 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: the head coach of that name. I am banned from 476 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: saying his name on podcast because of how much money 477 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: I've lost in Louisiana. Goodness, gracious, Billy Napier, scared money, 478 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 1: don't make money, you know. I will say a one 479 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: lost SEC team is going to take that fort slot. 480 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: L is currently seventy to one in the national title. Yeah, 481 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: Myles Brennan and Jade and Jane Daniels. I mean there, 482 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: they are loaded at every single position. That defensive line 483 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: is bigger than a row of condominiums. I mean I 484 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: I they they are absurdly talented. They've put so many 485 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: corners into the NFL. They just keep reloading true freshman. Uh. 486 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: It's not an easy out for anybody. And now they're 487 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: going to be well coached. Right. We've moved on from 488 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: raw rock coach oh to a guy that actually would 489 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: win in that who took Notre Dame with their restrictions 490 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: and recruiting and academics, has gone to the National Championship 491 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: a couple of years and the College Football Playoff.
