1
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Welcome man.

2
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: It's starting a little bit different than normal.

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: I got your normal show.

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: Basically, it's the replay of Tuesday night's show.

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: But after we went off the air, the.

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: College Football Playoff Committee was so kind as to unveil

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: their rankings on the exact same night as election night,

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: and so attention was frayed and you were paying attention

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: all different sorts of things. So I figured would put

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: this on front of this morning's podcast, and most of

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: you listen to the pod version in the morning. So

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: we're going to do college football playoff rankings reaction, and

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 2: then we're just going to attach that to the entirety

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: of last night's show.

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: All right, here we go three two.

16
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: College football playoff rankings Boom version one point zero in

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: our lap. I gotta say the first thing I thought

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: was kind of nailed this. We did our playoff projections

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: what I thought they would be. I don't think I

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: did it on the show, but I did it on

21
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: CBS Sports HQ. We were on point, mostly except for

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: Penn State. Penn State number six, way higher than I

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: thought the committee would have them. I thought that had

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: Penn State all the way down at ten. And the

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: only reason I thought that was because you had your

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: spot against Ohio State. You lose, not a blowout or

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: anything like that, but you lose. And I wasn't necessarily

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: sure how the strength of schedule would be determined, you know,

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: And if you don't know, I'm going to tell you.

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: But most of you know my beef with how strength

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: of schedule is determined in this whole thing. But Penn

32
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: State's at six. I won't have a massive problem with

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: any of this, only because there are games left to play.

34
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: But I thought Penn State would be at ten, Oregon

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: number one. Yes, Ohio State up at number two. This

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: is where you got to talk about the auto bid thing.

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: And you cannot be number two if you were Ohio State,

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: because if you lose the Big ten, you can't have

39
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: a top four seed, you can't have a first round by.

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: I've always had a problem with autobids of any kind.

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: I don't think the Big ten nor the SEC should

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: be guaranteed at anything, and so I especially don't think anyone

43
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: else's conference champ should automatically be guaranteed a top four

44
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: seed a first round by. But I'm not really fighting

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: that tonight or tomorrow or next day. Or whenever you're

46
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: watching this, because that's the format. So Ohio State at

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: number two right now, it looks overwhelmingly at the moment

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: like that's what our rematch will be in the Big

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: Ten championship game. But as I say that, you know

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: how disrespectful that sounds to Indiana because Indiana is sitting

51
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: there at number eight, and good for them. We did

52
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: the JP pole on Tuesday Night's show. It's just it's

53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: kind of unprecedented for Indiana to be doing what they're

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 2: doing anyway, but for Indiana to be doing what they're doing,

55
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: and then a power rating predictive type model to also

56
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: have them in the top ten, which the JP pole did,

57
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: and then for the playoff committee to also have them

58
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: in there. I think it speaks to what they view

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: as game control. And a lot of people have different

60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: phrases or like buzzwords to use here, But anytime a

61
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: team like Indiana gets this deep end of the season

62
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 2: in their strength of schedule is in the one hundreds,

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: as the playoff Committee would determine it, you're gonna have

64
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of folks, including many people watching this video,

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: who are gonna yell yeah, but who have they played, Yeah,

66
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: but who have they beaten? Well, the answer is not

67
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: much of anyone. And I'm not here to push back

68
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: on that. What I am here to do is give

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 2: you the old Usain Bolt metaphor that I always use,

70
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: and I always have said, there could be an elite

71
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: team that plays a week schedule. I'm not calling Indiana elite,

72
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: but for the sake of argument, you could have Usain

73
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: Bolt race against other world class athletes and he beats

74
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: them by a considerable margin, and you realize, Wow, I'm

75
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: watching one of the greatest track and field athletes of

76
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: all time. But Usain Bolt could also go to a

77
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: high school track and field event and he'd really smoke everyone.

78
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: And there are two kinds of people who would watch

79
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: that event. One person would say he didn't face quality competition,

80
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: but wow, he just obliterated everyone, which is exactly what

81
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: a world class athlete would do. The other person would

82
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 2: just say, yeah, but who did he beat? And it's

83
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: absent some very precious context. So with Indiana, you got

84
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: to look at the body of work beyond just the

85
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: strength of schedule. I'm a big strength of schedule guy.

86
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: If we determine it properly, but if you are a

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: top ten caliber team, what would you do against Indiana's schedule?

88
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: And the answer is you'd beat everyone by double digits.

89
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: And that's what they've been doing. They haven't been squeaking

90
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: by they have not been winning at the gun field goal.

91
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: They haven't been winning because they're plus five turnovers. They've

92
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: been smoking folks. They've just been splattering people. So for

93
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: the time being, I'm good with that. I'm good with

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: you being a top ten team, even though your strength

95
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: of schedules crap, don't You don't control that.

96
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: It's not your fault, it's not my fault.

97
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: But if you do face weak caliber competition, you better

98
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: be smoking him. And that's what Indiana has done. So

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: the SEC is interesting right now. Bama's at eleven, and

100
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: then it was A and M at fourteen, LSU fifteen,

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: Ole Miss sixteen. A lot of these teams either have

102
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: played each other or will play each other. So this

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: is where my strength of schedule beef comes in. We've

104
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: got a game this Saturday. I'm gonna be there. It's

105
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: the Alabama at LSU annual rivalry game. And that is

106
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: what do we have number eleven going on the road

107
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: to face number fifteen, and it's gonna be called an

108
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: elimination game. And the thinking there is someone's gonna suffer

109
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: their third loss and they'll probably be out of the

110
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: playoff picture. If that's the way it falls, that's the

111
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: way it falls. I just wonder when you've got Georgia.

112
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: Georgia's at three, Texas is at five, Tennessee's at seven,

113
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: Bama's at eleven, an m is at fourteen, LSU's at fifteen,

114
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Ole Miss is at sixteen. You've got seven teams in

115
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: the top sixteen. Your conference has seven teams in the

116
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: top sixteen. So do we care about record? Do we

117
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: care about strength of schedule? Is there such thing as

118
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: a quality loss? This is where I have begged and

119
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: pleaded to no avail for us to properly calibrate strength

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: of schedule. Just properly calibrate how resumes are determined, because

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: here's what's going to happen. What's gonna happen is like

122
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: Alabama's at eleven and they face LSU fifteen Saturday. Okay,

123
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: so someone loses that game. I picked LSU to win

124
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: the game. Let's say Alabama goes from eleventh to they

125
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 2: go into death Valley and lose close, so that means

126
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: they have to be punished, So then they're a three

127
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: loss team and they fall to nineteen or something like that.

128
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: It's never made sense to me. I understand rewarding wins

129
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: on the field. That actually should be paramount that's the

130
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: most important thing. But there is a sliding scale of

131
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: understanding how strong one's schedule actually is. So when I

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: put out power.

133
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Rankings every week power ratings every week.

134
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: The Daniel Canell's of the world always come at me

135
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: and say, you're crapping all over on field results. Look

136
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: at you bring him Young up until recently was undefeated.

137
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: You didn't even have them top twenty five, And so

138
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: you're saying that it doesn't matter that they won those games.

139
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: It matters everything that they won the games, and they

140
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: are number nine in the Playoff Committee rankings, then they

141
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: should be. It's way different than what I do with

142
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: the power rating. That power rating is just neutral field favorability.

143
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: That's all it is.

144
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: When I put out those numbers in that JP pole,

145
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: it should never I say this every week. Should never

146
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: be misconstrued. Is how I think teams should be ranked,

147
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: or how I think the Playoff committee should field the teams. However,

148
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: there is one area, and one area only where I've

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: always thought Vegas style power ratings belonged in this entire process.

150
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: It's not in ranking, it's not in seeding, it's none

151
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: of that. It's in properly determining strength of schedule, because

152
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: the way we do it now stupid. I do not

153
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: care how many ranked wins you have. I don't care

154
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: how many above five hundred or below five hundred teams

155
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: you have. All of that is subjective. Right now, you'd

156
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: get no credit if you beat Southern Cal. And Southern

157
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: Cal would be a really good win. If you went

158
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: in there and you beat them, they would be a

159
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: really good win. But you wouldn't get a lot of

160
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: credit for it because they're like a four loss team

161
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: or five lost team, and whatever it is. They've lost

162
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: all those games by one possession, they led all of

163
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: them in the fourth quarter before losing them, and they

164
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: got a few NFL guys on the roster. It means

165
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: a little bit more to me that you beat them.

166
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: It means something to me if you beat Michigan right now.

167
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: Michigan's not a good team this year, but the rosters

168
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: with more NFL caliber Sunday players on them. The big

169
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: traditional just brands. It means a little more to me

170
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: when you beat them. If you look at power ratings

171
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: that probably still have them higher than the ap pole

172
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: would or wouldn't have because they wouldn't rank them. I've

173
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: always longed for that. That is the role Vegas should

174
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: play in this. They should never ever get in a

175
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: world where you get to Selection Sunday and you've got

176
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: questions about teams and the tiebreaker is, well, so and

177
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: so would be favored against so and so. Forget that.

178
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: I'm the one telling you forget that. That should never

179
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: be part of the equation. But what should be.

180
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: Part of the equation is.

181
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 2: A Vegas style power rating to determine how many good

182
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: teams you've actually played, or how good are the teams

183
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: that you've played. How much credit should you be getting

184
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 2: for real strength of schedule. Looking at the rest of this,

185
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: I mean it's pretty obvious we're coming to a point

186
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: where the ACC I mean, there is no you've got

187
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: one more at large opportunity, And to me, it's if

188
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: SMU and Miami don't lose again and they play in

189
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 2: the Conference championship game and SMU wins that thing and

190
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: they're in. It looks like Miami would still get in.

191
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: Miami's at number four right now, so I'm not sure.

192
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: If they went out and they go all the way

193
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: to Charlotte and they lose a competitive game to SMU,

194
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure Miami dropped. In fact, I don't think

195
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: Miami would drop out of the top twelve or whatever

196
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: it is. So I think the ACC that's their shot

197
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: of getting two teams in. Elsewhere, you'd be hard pressed

198
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: to convince me the Big twelve is going to get

199
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: two in. I don't think that's going to happen. But

200
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: how about Colorado. They're sitting there at number twenty right now.

201
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: Colorado did not play last week and they were a

202
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: huge winner because Iowa State lost and Kansas State lost,

203
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: and Colorado's just sitting there right now at six and two.

204
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: They're number twenty. They already knew.

205
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're a two loss Big twelve team,

206
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: you already know that your only shot is winning the

207
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: conference anyway. They just need a path to get in there,

208
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: and their paths wide open now to get in there. Louisville,

209
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: I think is the most underrated team here. There's six

210
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: and two and Louisville's losses are to Who, to Miami

211
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: and to Notre Dame. Can't remember the other loss, but

212
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: it's close, and they've played really good teams. So, you know, Louisville,

213
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: I think we just saw what they did to Clemson

214
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: and now they're ranked one spot ahead of Clemson. Missouri

215
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: has been backsliding there at twenty four. Army. Look, you

216
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: either believe you are what your record says you are

217
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: or you don't believe that. If you are one of

218
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: those folks, and I'm not one, but if you are

219
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 2: one of those folks who bang the drum off, you

220
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: are what your record says you are. Where are you

221
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: with Army? Because Army's eight to no and they're barely

222
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 2: in the top twenty five. Do we care about or

223
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: do we not care about that? I also was watching

224
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: the ESPN reveal. I was watching those guys as the

225
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: numbers came out. I think it was McElroy who got

226
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: a little worked up about Yeah, he didn't get really

227
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: worked up.

228
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: He didn't yell or anything, but he was just.

229
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: Pointing out some differences he had in theory with the

230
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 2: committee and Galloway was really quick to say.

231
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: I relax, you know, relax, it's.

232
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: Just the first round. Well, first off, a producer should

233
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: be in his ear saying no, man like, we're about

234
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 2: viewership here. Don't tell everyone this doesn't matter, wait till

235
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 2: the end. That's kind of the antithesis of what we're

236
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: trying to do from a traffic driving standpoint. But number

237
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: two McElroy was right, it does matter where you stack

238
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: this up. You can tell me all you want to

239
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: that these committee members start with a blank slate every

240
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: time they go in those rooms. I'll just call BS

241
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: on it. It's not an AI generated process. These are

242
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: humans and they go in that room, and unless they

243
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 2: wipe their memory clean, then the process itself does not

244
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: wipe clean. I don't really care what they sit there

245
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: and tell you. I don't care about that. I care

246
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: what I know about human nature, especially when it comes

247
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: to something as subjective as ranking football teams. So it

248
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: does matter. Now there's no one that I think got

249
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: a royal screwjob here or anything, but it does matter.

250
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: So there you go. College Football Playoff Rankings version one

251
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: point zero. I'm sure there's plenty of change on the horizon.

252
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: The more I think about it, the more that I

253
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 2: believe maybe this is how we should elect a college

254
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: football commissioner. Just a full national election, one day only,

255
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: sprint to the finish line. And then you got like

256
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: one guy over here, he's promised to abolish big neon kickoff,

257
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: so he wins Pennsylvania. Then you got another guy over

258
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: here who promises no staff limit size, no limit on

259
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: roster size, and you probably win the entire SEC. And

260
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: then I come along and I promise to work together

261
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: with big tech to make iPhone recognize mactionin as a word,

262
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: and I take the entire Rust Belt, probably win the

263
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 2: election in the process. Would that not terrify the powers

264
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: that be if we had a real life popular election

265
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: for college football commissioner.

266
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Hoops amongst us knows what the future holds. I do know.

267
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: We're jam packed.

268
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: We're hi a toap a very anticipatory downtown Nashville, Tennessee

269
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: on this Tuesday, November fifth, the Heear of Our Lord

270
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. We're brought to you by Academy Sports

271
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: and Outdoors as always. Why are we so anticipatory around here? Well,

272
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: there's a lot going on on Tonight's show. It's Tuesday night.

273
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: Of course, that means it's prediction night. We got big

274
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: games happening this weekend. We'll be at the biggest one

275
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 2: I would argue in Baton Rouge when Alabama takes on LSU.

276
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: But you know what else we have tonight, We've got

277
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: a JP pole dropping.

278
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: And if that's not enough quasi college football political flavor

279
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: for you, in the spirit of the day, I'm breaking

280
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: out job approval ratings on tonight's show. It's time. Some

281
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: of you have run for a long time, but you

282
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: can hide no longer. All that, plus a couple of

283
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: best bets aboard the the very dependable this time of

284
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: week Rama Noodle Express. So I'm gonna pop the top

285
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: on myself a cold ZVA, and I'm gonna tell you

286
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: they're watching us in Tempe, Arizona, Pascagoula, Mississippi, countryside Illinois,

287
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 2: San Antonio, Texas.

288
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: A toast to you all.

289
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: We're going black cherry Zva tonight, which we have not

290
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: tried on the show yet. I hope it goes well

291
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: and I hope you're having a very nice day. The

292
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: playoff gets revealed later tonight, and so I'm gonna do

293
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: just a whole separate video on that tonight, so be

294
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: watching on the YouTube channel for that. But in the meantime,

295
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: let's dive into Prediction Night Alabama at LSU Saturday night,

296
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: seven thirty Eastern six thirty local time, kickoff on ABC.

297
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: They're telling me it's an elimination game. I'm hearing in

298
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: my ear. I'm seeing all over the screen when I'm

299
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: in the gym, and they've got ESPN and the like

300
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: on the TV monitors. They're telling me it's an elimination game.

301
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: And it may be, it may not be, it probably is. However,

302
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: I want to try and sell you on another aspect

303
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: of this. Be crazy, but I just want you to

304
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: follow me here. And if you're new to college football,

305
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: this may not make sense to you. But what if

306
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: I told you this is Alabama versus LSU in Death

307
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: Valley on a Saturday night and you don't really need

308
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: playoff implications on this game for it to mean the

309
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: entire world to you. That is my humble suggestion. But

310
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: if you need the playoff implications, you know, if you

311
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: need the elimination game sticker on the side of it

312
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: to make it matter to you, then that is your right.

313
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: I am just saying this game has had mega importance

314
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: long before we ever had a college football playoffs. So

315
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: with that being said, who has the edge here? I

316
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: think everything works off run game success rate. It's been

317
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: a mixed bag for both of these teams this year

318
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: if you've watched any of them, and now both of

319
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: them are off a bye, So that automatically means everybody

320
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: fixed everything and we self scouted and we should be

321
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: good to go.

322
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: Now.

323
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: Bama, last time we saw him played Missouri, they had

324
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy one on the ground. Last time

325
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: I saw LSU, they couldn't run themselves out of a

326
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: wet paper bag against anm and to make it worse,

327
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: they gave up two forty five. There is no reason

328
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: when I look at LSU for them to be sixth

329
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: in passing and in the one teams in running the

330
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: ball this year. Some of you just have bad offensive lines.

331
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: Some of you have no talent at tailback. I don't

332
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: think I just described LSU. I think they flat out

333
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: haven't leaned on it enough, they haven't committed to it enough.

334
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: I would expect them to try and rectify the error

335
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: of their way there. How much success they have is

336
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: almost secondary to defense is having to at least honor

337
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: it and us not having to drop back fifty times

338
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: trying to throw the ball in two or three of

339
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: them end up in the wrong hands.

340
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: And that's the ballgame now, Bama.

341
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: If you want to run the ball on them, you

342
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: can run the ball on them. They've given up one

343
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: thirty on the ground in six of their last seven.

344
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: LSU is forty eighth in the country and run defense.

345
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: So either side here, if you really commit to it,

346
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: if you lean on it, I still believe both of

347
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: them have the personnel where they should be able to

348
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: run the ball. Not for seven yards per carry, but

349
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: give me four, give me four and a half.

350
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: Just give me enough to where.

351
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: I don't have to look at explosive place through the

352
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: air on Alabama side or just garretting us Meyer in

353
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: general on LSU side.

354
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: Say save us, save us. They should be integral parts

355
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: of the game.

356
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: But man, it should be complimentary a whole lot more

357
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: than it has been, which brings me to my next point.

358
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: Can't wait to watch the matchup in this game of

359
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: Nick Sheridan and Kaylin de Boor and kind of the

360
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: Alabama offensive brain trust against Blake Baker and this LSU defense.

361
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: I was so pleasantly surprised when they went up to

362
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: Arkansas and did what they did, and then I was

363
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: so disheartened when I watched what A and M did

364
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: to LSU in the second half. And similarly, I've watched

365
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: Alabama look discombobulated at times offensively this year, and now

366
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: they've shown flashes because they got really good athletes, so

367
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: of course they've shown flashes, but the consistency, you know,

368
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: drive to drive quarter to quarter has not been there.

369
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: Bama is one hundred and thirty second. I'm just gonna

370
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: to continue hammering this point home until the stat profile changes.

371
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: Let me talk to you about third downs here, specifically

372
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: what Blake Baker could do here. Bama is one hundred

373
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: and thirty second in the country and converting third and long.

374
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: I didn't say they're one hundred and thirty second at

375
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: converting third down because they've been in a lot of

376
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: third and longs.

377
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: I said, if you take every team.

378
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 2: And filter out just their third and long attempts, Bama's

379
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty second in the country. We used

380
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: to not even have that many teams in FBS. That's

381
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: how bad that is. But the good news is their

382
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: tenth and third and short. So it does not take

383
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: the smartest amongst us to understand. If Bama can stay

384
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: ahead of the chains, Bama probably wins this game unless

385
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 2: they turn the ball over a lot. The problem is

386
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: they have not stayed ahead of the chains, and in fact,

387
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: on the road they've really struggled here.

388
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: More on that in a second.

389
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: So, how effective and how comfortable for lack of a

390
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: better term, does Alabama look offensively early in the game.

391
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: I think we'll get a.

392
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: Really good indicator if it's constantly working behind chains. If

393
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: it's constantly first and fifteen because you jumped off sides

394
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: and Tiger Stadium's just sinking its teeth into you, well,

395
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: they can win, but it's probably going to be a

396
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: long night in the process. But on the other side,

397
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: I remember what Marcel Reid did against LSU's defense. I

398
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: remember how it looked like they haven't even given a

399
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: passing thought to the quarterback running the ball in the

400
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: second half of that game. Now, I personally believe that

401
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 2: caught him a little bit off guard. That's not to

402
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: make an excuse, because there is no excuse to not

403
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: be prepared for the backup quarterback, especially when said quarterback

404
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: has played meaningful minutes this year.

405
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: You're not playing for any of that.

406
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: Here is Jalen Milroe's game, and so how well do

407
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: they stop him, or for that matter, how effective are

408
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: Milroe's legs. It really kind of brings us to some

409
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: of the unpredictable, some of the external factors here Jalen Milroe.

410
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: If you don't want to call it his health, because

411
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: on the record they've said nothing's wrong with him, I'll

412
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: call it his effectiveness, his full scale top to bottom

413
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: effectiveness as a player.

414
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: And he's right.

415
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: He can throw the deep ball as well as anyone,

416
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: and he can kill you with his legs when he's not.

417
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: It looks like he's looked over the last few games

418
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: going into the bye week.

419
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: So which one which Jaln Milroe? I guess do we get?

420
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: Bama also one hundred and twenty eighth inn penalty yards

421
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: per game this year. I was there when they played

422
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: in Tennessee. Niland Stadium affected that team. If Nielan affects you,

423
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night will absolutely affect you

424
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: if you let it and I'm of the belief that

425
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: once a team has developed that kind of profile about itself,

426
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 2: they are prone to heavy penalization that doesn't clean itself up.

427
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 2: In my experience, if it's a problem in week three,

428
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: it's going to be a problem in week nine, it's

429
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: going to be a problem in week fourteen. And maybe

430
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: you can work your way out of that hole.

431
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you can't.

432
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: But it would really surprise me if penalties weren't at

433
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: least somewhat of an issue for Alabama in this game.

434
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: But the other side is what about interceptions for Garrett

435
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: and Nesmier. They've been there. They've been there because they

436
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: don't have it. They don't have a ground game that

437
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: they can lean on and supplement offensively, and so they

438
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: have to lean on him too much, and he is

439
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: not He's not dependable enough where you can put the

440
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: entire game on his shoulders. I think he's a really

441
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: good player. I think he's very talented. He is as

442
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: big a wild card game to game at quarterback as

443
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: LSU the team is a wild card in the whole

444
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: college football playoff picture. Jaylen Milroe's home and road splits

445
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: don't inspire great confidence in me. It's not drastic, but

446
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: it's noticeable enough. He's not the first quarterback to play

447
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: better at home than he does on the road. But

448
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 2: it's all about game control and taking it early, and

449
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 2: they haven't been able to do that enough this year.

450
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: I think because of that, we'll know early whether it's

451
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: a game that we can expect either team to need

452
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: thirty plus to win, or is twenty four twenty seven?

453
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: Is that good enough? Here?

454
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: Alabama defense, they have forced turnovers this year. So if

455
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: I got a guy who throws a lot of them,

456
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: and I got a defense over there who's forced some

457
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: of them, including coming up big multiple times in that

458
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: Georgia game, Q Colin showing us the highlights here, Yet

459
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: that's there. I don't know how to predict it. I

460
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: have no idea how to predict that that's coming, but

461
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: it is there. So here's where I land on this game.

462
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: I've got very little idea because so much of what

463
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: we just talked about for the past about eight minutes

464
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: or so is not terribly predictive. I don't know how

465
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: many penalty yards you're gonna have in a given game,

466
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 2: I can guess. I don't know how many times your

467
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: quarterback's gonna throw picks, I can guess, but I do

468
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: know to a large extent that probably decides this game.

469
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: And so let's take a look at what the model

470
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 2: thinks FanDuel right now. Is that Alabama minus two and

471
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: a half. The model is a little bit higher on

472
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: LSU than our friends at FanDuel.

473
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: They've got Bama.

474
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: Well, they the model, which is sitting right next to me,

475
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: has Alabama minus won. The dependable aspects of Alabama are

476
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: a little bit too shaky for me to back them

477
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: right now. Conversely, I could say the same thing ab

478
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: about LSU, which is why I value home field a

479
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: lot in this game, a whole lot. Sometimes I don't.

480
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: There have been versions of Alabama that I actually liked

481
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 2: on the road more than I like at home. This

482
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 2: year's version is not that.

483
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: Now.

484
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: They can go prove me wrong on Saturday night, but

485
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: they're going to have to. I'm going to make the

486
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: road team prove me wrong here. I'm going to take

487
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: the home team to win, and LSU would cover in

488
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: the process of winning this game. So slight, slight, lean

489
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: to LSU. There will not be a dime of your

490
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: boys money bet on that one. Academy Sports and Outdoors,

491
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: plentiful in Louisiana, plentiful in Alabama. You guys have a

492
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: lot of tailgating needs. They got you taken care of.

493
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: Could be could be some questionable suspect weather in the

494
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: Gulf of Mexico. Yes, I am monitoring Raphael, and when

495
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 2: I know, you'll know. I think that my read on

496
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 2: that is you're probably not dealing with a landfalling hurricane.

497
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 2: You're probably dealing with something that's dissipating by the time

498
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: it gets.

499
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: Into the northern Gulf of Mexico.

500
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: But that does not mean that the residual moisture off

501
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 2: of Rafael could or could not impact this game. It's Tuesday,

502
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: so we don't know yet. But nevertheless, if you need

503
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: rain gear, if you need that sort of thing and

504
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 2: you're not already stocked up, or even if you are,

505
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors, as you covered there, they've got

506
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: many an umbrella there, They've got many a pond show there,

507
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: and so they've also got every other odd and end

508
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: you would need, from tailgating to grilling to hunting to camping,

509
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 2: to fill in the blank recreationally, whatever you're into, Chances

510
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: are Academy's got you covered and pay attention down in

511
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 2: Jacksonville and in Little Rock. You leave Florida Grand opening

512
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: this weekend. Academy new grand opening, Sirusly, Arkansas. It's right

513
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: there in the Little Rock area grand opening.

514
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: You know the rules.

515
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: Just gave away five chili last week because we had

516
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: actually many more than five of you show up to

517
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: Academy grand openings. You show up, you prove to me

518
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 2: that you were there. You're in the running. I'm gonna

519
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: give away five more child this weekend. Yuli, Florida, which

520
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: I believe is where Derrick Henry was from and ran

521
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 2: for like five hundred yards a game in high school.

522
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: And Sir c Arkansas, where I've been stormchasing before. You're

523
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: on the clock. Oh yeah, Oh the black cherry is

524
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: really good. You know how rarely I take two SIPs

525
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: of ZV in a row on the show. It creates

526
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: dead air, which means people tune. Now, all right, let's continue.

527
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: What a game? This is, what a game?

528
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: This is? Welcome in.

529
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: If you're watching live, let me refresh so I can

530
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: get a good number. Yeah, irregular start time is still

531
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: a nice crowd. Georgia at Ole, miss is the Saturday

532
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 2: three thirty Eastern game on ABC, and it is the

533
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: moment of truth moment for both of these teams.

534
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: It's not an elimination game.

535
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: We're not going as far as to call it that,

536
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 2: although it probably is for Old Miss. I wouldn't call

537
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: it that for Georgia. But last year this game happened.

538
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 2: It happened in Athens, and it was a splattering, It

539
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 2: was a Sarah McLaughlin special, it was a body bagging.

540
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: It was fifty two to seven team Georgia. So how

541
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 2: much could have changed over the past year. It's one

542
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 2: of the dumbest questions we ask in college football. Routinely

543
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: we see blowout results from one year flip entirely the

544
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: next year. I remember, oh you Texas. Three years ago,

545
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: Texas in a blowout, and then last year, OHU beats

546
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: them out right, And everybody leading up to the game

547
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: had been like, well, can you can you really make

548
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: up that much ground in one year? Yes, we score

549
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: in threes and sevens and twenty five to thirty percent

550
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 2: of your roster gets overturned every year. Yes it can happen,

551
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: point blank, Yes it can happen. Now, what does Old

552
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 2: Miss need for it to happen. George is favored by

553
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: two and a half year, so we're not talking about

554
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: any kind of massive upset. But Georgia has scored thirty

555
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: plus and five straight. Like, as much as people talk

556
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: about them struggling offensively and they've had their issues, they're

557
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: still hanging thirty or more every game. I'm gonna assume

558
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: they're in that neighborhood here. So my working theory is

559
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: old miss needs to be into the thirties to win

560
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: this game. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, But that's

561
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: what I assume. George also has scored thirty and seven

562
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: of their last eight, so that's the neighborhood they're in.

563
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 2: Even with the struggles. Carson Beck, by ten miles, is

564
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: the most important player in this game. I had Jesse

565
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: look this up. Carson Beck's first seventeen games paper popper

566
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: of a stat here, thirty one touchdowns, six interceptions. That

567
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: was his first seventeen games. His last five ten touchdowns,

568
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: eleven interceptions. He's nearly thrown twice as many picks in

569
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 2: his last five games as he did his first seventeen games.

570
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 2: So if you're listening but you haven't watched a lot

571
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: of Georgia. You must think shame on that offensive line.

572
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: George's offensive line is top ten in the country in

573
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: pressure rate allowed. It's not that he just doesn't see

574
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: the field well and it sounds like we're talking about

575
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 2: a true freshman. It's not I just told you he's

576
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: done it before. We've seen him do it before. He's

577
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: just not doing it right now, which is the most

578
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: mind boggling part of it all, cause that's the one

579
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: where even your coaching staff's sitting there scratching their head

580
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

581
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: I know it's there. I keep sitting here waiting.

582
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: I'm terrified to pick against Georgia because I keep waiting

583
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: on that one Carson Beck game that I've seen before

584
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 2: where he just goes off and he's the player of

585
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 2: the game, and Georgia's they beat someone into a coma,

586
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: and you're like, I.

587
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: Can't believe I picked against them, but it's not happening.

588
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: So who knows. Maybe it happens this weekend. Old miss

589
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: defense number two versus the run, and they're in the

590
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: nineties versus the pass. So the profile of Georgia lately

591
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: is they have not run the ball well and they've

592
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 2: tried to throw the ball, but Carson Beck hasn't been

593
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: all that great at it, although he has shown the

594
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: ability to in the past. And if that's your if

595
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: that's your standard operating procedure here, it's there. It's there

596
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: to be had against old Michig just kind of make

597
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: it happen. Georgia ran Jesse, Is this right? Georgia ran

598
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: for over three hundred in this game last year, so

599
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: that's not them this year. Georgia ran for like a

600
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: quarter of a mile, maybe even half a mile in

601
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: this game last year.

602
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: I promise you one thing.

603
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: So you're looking at the stat profile if you're watching

604
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: on YouTube right now, rushing yards per game, Georgia is

605
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: ninety seventh in the country. They're just not running the

606
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: ball well. But I will promise you this. This will

607
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: always be the case with the Kirby Smart team.

608
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't really care what they have been.

609
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: They go into big games like this, they will commit

610
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: to running the ball. Now, they may not be great

611
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: at it, and they may have to adjust in game,

612
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: but there is no contest that Kirby Smart's gonna take

613
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: a team into where he says, we're not really worried

614
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: about running it.

615
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: So much today.

616
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: Forget that we're just gonna have to throw the ball

617
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: to win the game. They will try and run the ball,

618
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: and if they can't, they can't. But it has to

619
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: be there. You gotta ask you guys. You got to

620
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: look at Trevor etn if he's ready to go. You

621
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: gotta look at Nate Frasier. You celebrate the way you

622
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: want to if you get in the end zone. As

623
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: long as you get us there, I'll yell at you,

624
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: I'll scream at you. But if you can run it

625
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: for four and a half five yards per carry, then

626
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: we can ride you to a victory Saturday.

627
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: It's gotta be there. This is Georgia.

628
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't care what the stat profile says. I don't

629
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: care that you're ninety seventh in the country. You've got

630
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: to look at your guys and say, you've got a

631
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: g on your helmet, like you're wearing the red and

632
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: black or you're wearing the white and silver. I guess

633
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: on the road, we don't accept being in the nineties

634
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: and rush yards per game, and in this kind of game,

635
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: the fate of your season could rest on you find

636
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: in extra yards and fighting through tackles.

637
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: It's you've got to throw the stat profile in the garbage.

638
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: It's what I'm saying, You've got to be committed enough

639
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: to it where Old Miss can't stop you with four

640
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: and then just shut you down or wait for your

641
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: quarterback to throw the ball to them, because that will happen.

642
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: If you allow that to happen. Old Miss can win

643
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: this game. On third down two. We were looking at

644
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: this earlier. George's ninetieth in converting third downs, and Old

645
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: Missus defense is top ten in the country. A lot

646
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: of this stat profile, guys, I gotta be honest with you.

647
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: It leans Old Miss. It leans fairly substantially Old Miss.

648
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: But George's defense is what I learned I was able

649
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: to still count on in the Texas game, and it's

650
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: what I should still be able to count on in

651
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: this game. They're top thirty and rush and pass like

652
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: they're there. They're one of very few teams that are

653
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: top thirty in both categories. They do not allow explosive plays. O.

654
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: That's this actually the stat of the game. I'll give

655
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: you an advanced sort of paper popper stat of the game.

656
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: Ole Miss's offense is near the top of the country

657
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: in creating explosives, and Georgia's defense is top five in

658
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: preventing them. And that brings us to what the model

659
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: thinks versus what FanDuel thinks on this game. Because right

660
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: now as we talk and it's late in the afternoon

661
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, George is favored by two and a half.

662
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: The model thinks the wrong team is favored. The model

663
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: likes ole Miss minus half a point, which as we

664
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: all know, is impossible to happen, but raw power rating,

665
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: that's how it calibrates it.

666
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: Ole Miss. It's an interesting stat here.

667
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: They've allowed more sacks in their two losses, the Kentucky

668
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: game in the LSU game. They allowed more sacks and

669
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 2: those two losses than all five of their wins. We

670
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: saw Georgia against Texas. They got home in a big way.

671
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: They affected the quarterback in a big way. If they

672
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: do that here, George is gonna win. I think this

673
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: is the circle game for ol Miss. It's the one

674
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: ever since they flew home from Athens last year that

675
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: they understood would define them as a team this year.

676
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: And they've already lost two and that's okay. That just

677
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: means they're backs against the Wall. I don't think Old

678
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: Miss is losing this game. I think somehow they'll find

679
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: a way to win it. And I actually agree with

680
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: the model I think that. I think our folks at

681
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: FANDU will probably still have Old Miss a little underrated.

682
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: I think the AP still has Old Miss a little underrated.

683
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: That is a very dangerous team. And in years past

684
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: that'd be okay because I trust Georgia just like in

685
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: years past, I trust Bama to go one road against

686
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: LSU and take care of business. I don't trust either

687
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: one of them to that degree this year. And so

688
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: if I've got a wounded animal at home in total

689
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: survival mode and they're able to exploit your weaknesses just

690
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: conventional wisdom, I'm gonna ride with them. So I'm taking

691
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: Missed to win this game out right. Quick Trip could

692
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: fuel us if we wanted to go there. They could

693
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: fuel us if we wanted to go to Knoxville, if

694
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: we wanted to go to Athens or Gainesville. We have

695
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: done all of those things, and Quick Trip has fueled

696
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: us every step of the way. Now the whole New

697
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: Saturday Tour will be in Baton Rouge this Saturday night,

698
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: and we appreciate Quick Trip for making that happen. We've

699
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: been able to hand out I don't know how many

700
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars in free gas this year, and I

701
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: probably need to hand some more out. I hadn't done

702
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: that in a couple of days. I'll be on the lookout.

703
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: The best way for you guys to get free gas

704
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: is just go to quick Trip and take a picture

705
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: of yourself there and tag me on social and I

706
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: just randomly, I just I have the power vested in

707
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 2: me via Quick Trip to randomly hand out free tanks

708
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: of gas. One of the first tanks of gas we

709
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: handed out, by the way, was a guy in a

710
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: Diesel truck, and it was well over one hundred something

711
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: like one hundred and fifty bucks to fill his tank,

712
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 2: and they came through anyway. It's amazing they came through anyway.

713
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: So no asterisk, like, no caveat on that deal. Someone

714
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: who engineers a freight trains probably gonna tag us. You're

715
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: gonna get in the parking lot, but if you get there,

716
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: they'll probably fuel that thing up too.

717
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: It is a big night here.

718
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: It's a very big night because we're doing something we

719
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: haven't done in a while. I hold in my hand,

720
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 2: brand new job approval numbers for head coaches. It's the

721
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: political season and that extends to college football. And you

722
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 2: know who we got right here, We got Lincoln Riley. Now,

723
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 2: the job approval rating is different than a hot seat rating. Okay,

724
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: just because someone says they disapprove of your job doesn't

725
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: mean they're saying I want you fired. With that in mind,

726
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: the Lincoln Riley job approval numbers are troubling, sitting around

727
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 2: fifty five percent approval rating right now. Now, the hot

728
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: seat rating is wildly detached. All of this is unscientific.

729
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 2: By the way, the hot seat rating, they're not calling

730
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 2: for his job, we're not even talking about we're not

731
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: broaching that subject tonight.

732
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: But the approval rating is shaky at best.

733
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: And on one hand, there's this weird like downward trajectory

734
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: which has a lot of people flummoxed.

735
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: You know, have I use that word.

736
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: He took over a four and eight team and they

737
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: go eleven and three year one, which turned out to

738
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 2: not be the best of omens because then he went

739
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: eight and five and then he fired everyone on the

740
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 2: defensive staff and now they're four and five.

741
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: So that doesn't look good.

742
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 2: You know, if someone's watching that from the International Space

743
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: Station and they can't see into the weeds, all they

744
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: see is that's what it seems like. Some of the

745
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: fan base feels that way as well. He didn't hire

746
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: right in the beginning. Alex Grinch should never have been

747
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator there. He should not have had the

748
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: opportunity to come over there. That much is clear now.

749
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: The problem is Lincoln Riley allowed.

750
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: It to happen. He is responsible for that.

751
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: I cannot make excuses for the guy on that front.

752
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: I will personally give him credit for hitting that dump

753
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 2: button when he did. But I said when he made

754
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: those decisions in spring or after the last season, I said,

755
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: it's going to take a while. I don't know if

756
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: they have the patience out there for it. So do they.

757
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 2: It's actually still a means to be seeing question there.

758
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 2: Most I think still get what's happening. Most of the

759
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: USC fans I think still understand that we're not thrilled

760
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: with where we are, Like we're struggling to even make

761
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: a bowl game this year.

762
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: However, these aren't blowout losses.

763
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: They've got five losses right now and they were all

764
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: one possession losses, and they led in the fourth quarter

765
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 2: of all five of those losses. Producer Jesse and I

766
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: were looking through the box scores this year. They're like

767
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: six plays, just six individual plays this year where if

768
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: you change the outcome on those six plays, we're looking

769
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: at undefeated USC.

770
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: So, yes, that's how this game works, and you get

771
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: judged on results.

772
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: But this isn't FSU, Like FSU is getting torched and

773
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: they're not winning us.

774
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: He is not getting torched. They're just there.

775
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: They're just there, and then they yank the carpet out

776
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 2: from under you at the last minute. Well that's not acceptable,

777
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: but it's also indicative of a team that's not all

778
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 2: that far away, and therefore there's no reason to torch

779
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 2: the bar and kill the rats, as me Mal would say,

780
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: and start all over. But everyone's waiting on recruiting, everyone's

781
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: waiting on talent acquisition. They they want players out there.

782
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 2: They hadn't had enough of them, especially at certain position groups.

783
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 2: They are in twenty twenty three coming off a top

784
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 2: ten recruiting class in the top five portal class, and

785
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: they're top twenty in both in twenty twenty four, which

786
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 2: is okay. It needs to be better at USC. But

787
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: that's okay. They're sitting at ninth right now for the

788
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five class. Now, I've noticed, and I think

789
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: USC fans have as well, noticed that Lincoln Riley is

790
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: trying to reach into the South. He's trying to go

791
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 2: where the bigger bodies are. California does not produce enough

792
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: high quality O line and D lineman to compete for

793
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: championships used to. I have not observed them doing that

794
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: out there, which is not his problem.

795
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: That's just something he has to deal with. And that

796
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: means if you.

797
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: Got to go elsewhere, you got to go elsewhere, but

798
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: you got to be able to go get players. I

799
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 2: would much prefer, as they would much prefer to recruit

800
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: him out of high school and develop him. And all

801
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: that's well and good, and defense has looked good this year.

802
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 2: It's very obvious he made the right moves. They're starting

803
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: a new quarterback this week. They've benched Miller Moss. I

804
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: don't put it all on that kid's shoulders, because he's

805
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: been putting a pretty untenable situation because they hadn't run.

806
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: The ball very well.

807
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 2: But all that's in the all that's in the micro

808
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: the macro is there's still a lot of reasons to

809
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: be optimistic. I think in the long term, maybe even

810
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 2: in the midterm. But in the short term this sucks,

811
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: and Lincoln Riley's job approval numbers probably in the mid

812
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: fifties because of.

813
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: That big ten standings. Oh not great, not great. Oh well,

814
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: job approval could be better there. But don't worry.

815
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: We're not talking hot seat. At least I've got a

816
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: letter in my hand. Take another sip of this black

817
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 2: cherry's good man. I'm not ready to put black cherry

818
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: above cream soda. I'm a big cream shoda guy, but

819
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 2: zeba kind of look he killed it with this black cherry.

820
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't even like black cherry stuff. So I get

821
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: tons of dms from you guys every day. Normally they're confidential,

822
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 2: so I don't read them on air. I did want

823
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: to share one with you. Guy by the name of

824
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 2: we'll call him Mitch because that's his first name.

825
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: Mitch hit me up a long time ago. I gotta

826
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: be honest with you.

827
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: I did not see it, so Colin, hold on on

828
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: the picture for just a second. I'll tell you when

829
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 2: to throw it up. Mitch sends me this DM A

830
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 2: long time ago, he said, longtime viewer.

831
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: About a year ago, I tweeted.

832
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 2: You how my wife formerly had no interest in college football,

833
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 2: but since dating and marrying me, she's grown to love

834
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 2: the sport and your show almost more than I do.

835
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: After Texas beat Bama last year, her first response upon

836
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: the clock hitting Zeros was I can't wait to hear

837
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: what JP has to say tomorrow. Well, and Colin, here's

838
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: the cue. Now, let's throw the picture up. Allow me

839
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: to introduce you to another new fan of yours. It's

840
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: our daughter. She isn't allowed any screen time because we

841
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 2: ain't raising the iPad kid. However, we allow her to

842
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: watch your show. I think she loves you. This is beautiful.

843
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: We love to see this sort of thing, and we

844
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: will be ship her a chalice. I don't know if

845
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: we need to ship it to her per se, but

846
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: we will be shipping it to her parents anyway. So

847
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: then Mitch sends me another update, and this is what

848
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: I got today. Hey, I just learned we have another

849
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: baby on the way. I just want to let you

850
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: know I've turned one viewer me into four viewers by

851
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 2: converting my wife and literally creating two more humans. Sincerely,

852
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: your one turned to three loyal viewers from Marble Falls, Texas.

853
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: So hats off to Mitch.

854
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: This is just an example of what happens when I

855
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: go in my unopened DMS.

856
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: Good things can happen.

857
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 2: It's not a bunch of Clemson fans coming at me

858
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 2: with torches and pitchforks exclusively. There is some good, wholesome

859
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 2: content there. Look, that could be your child. That could

860
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 2: be your child. Any one of you are free to

861
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: make this your child, not Mitch's child, not getting Mitch's child.

862
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 2: Take your children and introduce them to the show. They

863
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 2: got to learn to love something, why not teach them

864
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 2: to learn college football?

865
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: So thank you, Mitch.

866
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 2: This is a glowing example of, frankly, the kind of

867
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 2: parenting this country could use a lot more of. And also,

868
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 2: don't yell at umpires at little league games. All right,

869
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 2: let's continue. It was really happy there for a second,

870
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 2: but I regret to inform you I got to talk

871
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: about Hugh Freese's job approval. Hugh Freeese's job approval rating

872
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 2: number is not good. It's at thirty percent. Right now,

873
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 2: Remember that's detached from a hot seat rating. They're not

874
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: calling for his job at least not the majority. But

875
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 2: the job approval is not good. Auburn's not good this year.

876
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 2: They are not good enough by a long shot. However,

877
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to the whole Brian Harson thing in

878
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: a second. They are not on him like they were

879
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 2: on Brian Harson at this same point, and that is

880
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 2: because fit matters. Now, this is not quantifiable, and if

881
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: you're not an Auburn fan, this doesn't matter to you.

882
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: But Brian Harson they never perceived to be one of them.

883
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: They never thought Brian Harson fit there. Hugh Freeze they

884
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 2: feel like he fits there. So as long as they

885
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: feel that way, that matter. There a lot in the

886
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: old job approval ratings system. But it's very interesting to

887
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 2: look at Hugh Freeze and Brian Harson. Harson got fired

888
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 2: at nine and twelve. Freeze is nine and thirteen right now.

889
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: Now. Is that fair?

890
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 2: On one hand, mathematics are always fair. On another hand,

891
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: numbers can lie to you. Stats can lie to you

892
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: in college football, so it is about what you inherited.

893
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: I think most of us would admit Hugh Freeze did

894
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,959
Speaker 2: not inherit a great roster situation. I'll go step further

895
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: the roster was kind of a disaster when U Freeze

896
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: walked in. Most head coaches, most agents will tell you

897
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 2: it's all about entry point.

898
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: What do you inherit?

899
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 2: Because if you inherit a mess, it's gonna take a

900
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: couple of years and your record's probably gonna suffer. But

901
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: what you don't plan on is the team you inherit

902
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: not exhibiting any of the characteristics in the meantime that

903
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: you want them to like. For example, and I'm going

904
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: to go really broad strokes here, I'm gonna use some

905
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 2: very simple stat categories for the sake of argument. Auburn

906
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: is nearly a top ten twenty defense this year. They're

907
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 2: twenty first right now. That's better than Ole Miss and

908
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: BYU in Alabama. They are forty six in total offense

909
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: right now, that's better than Notre Dame, Colorado, Texas A,

910
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: and M.

911
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: These are all playoff contenders. Auburn's three and six.

912
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 2: They're three and six because they've been a disaster in

913
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: the high leverage categories like turnovers. That's been its own

914
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 2: documentary this year, red zone sacks allowed. As a result,

915
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: their points per game is eighty eight. It is really

916
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 2: hard to be in the top forty five in both

917
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 2: of those categories, essentially be eighty eighth in points per game.

918
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 2: But that's the situation, and people aren't happy about it

919
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 2: because it feels like they're getting further away when in reality,

920
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: year two, you know the old adage, year two, the

921
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: year one to year two jump that's supposed to be

922
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 2: when it happens. Well, they didn't take a quarterback out

923
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: of the portal, so it was never gonna happen. I

924
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 2: expected them to be down this year, not quite this down,

925
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 2: but I expected them to be down this year, and

926
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: I go micro Macro here in mac grow. This has

927
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: kind of played out the way it should, given the

928
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 2: fact that they chose not to go and spend big

929
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 2: money on a quarterback. They chose to reallocate those funds

930
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: for this upcoming year to coincide with a couple of

931
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: top ten classes stacked on top of each other, so

932
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 2: that strategy is still there. The concern kind of like

933
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 2: the one you have at FSU right now. The concern

934
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: is can a season be so bad it poisons the

935
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: well of the future, And that's a valid concern, and

936
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: I think a lot of their fans have that.

937
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: But year three's the show me year.

938
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 2: Everyone has accepted that down there, and there are very

939
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: very tangible reasons. There are some blinking green lights why

940
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: the future looks a lot more promising. They have got

941
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 2: a number ten class wrapped up for twenty twenty four,

942
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 2: They've currently got the fifth rank class for twenty twenty five,

943
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: and I think we all understand Auburn is one of

944
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 2: the big shark fins in the quarterback portal market this

945
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: upcoming cycle, so they'll look radically different next year.

946
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt about that.

947
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: I would expect quantum improvement, and I think most of

948
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 2: the fan base feels that. So on one hand, they

949
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 2: don't approve of the job he's doing right now, they

950
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: probably approve a lot more of the mid to long

951
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 2: term prospectus. You know, they love the forecasts and they

952
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: still feel like he's a good fit. I think most

953
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: of them do. A majority to a supermajority still do,

954
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 2: and so there's not a lot of hot seat talk,

955
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: but there is talk that we better be right about

956
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: year three, be in the springboard year. They're watching us

957
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 2: in Dayton, Ohio, Kirkham cook them in the UK, Miami

958
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: Florida also tuned in appreciate you guys. You know it

959
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 2: is Tuesday, and that also means JP pole has dropped.

960
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 2: We got a fresh JP pole. The paper is still warm.

961
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 2: Week eleven. Here, these are not playoff rankings, and Canal

962
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: just got subtle.

963
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: He wouldn't tag me directly.

964
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 2: I am talking to Daniel Jeremetrius Canal when I say

965
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 2: this stuff right here is not meant in any shape,

966
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: form or fashion to indicate how I think the playoff

967
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 2: rankings should be. This is not how I would rank

968
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 2: teams if I were an AP voter. So nothing, nothing,

969
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 2: point blank about this has to do with how I

970
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 2: think you should be ranked when the playoff rankings are revealed.

971
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: This is how I would stack your teams in terms

972
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 2: of neutral field favorability. That's how a three loss team

973
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 2: could be ahead of an undefeated team. Why, Josh, Well,

974
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: because that three loss team would be favored according to

975
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 2: the model and probably FanDuel. With that in mind and

976
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 2: knowing I'll have to state that at least fifty more

977
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: times tonight, let's take a look at it. Colin number

978
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: one through five. Oregon is the number one team in

979
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 2: the country. Ohio State is number two, and Georgia has

980
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 2: very slightly fallen to number three. Not a big drop,

981
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: It was like half a point drop.

982
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: Texas is number.

983
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,720
Speaker 2: Four, and I have just decided to let the model

984
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 2: do what the model wants to do. I have put

985
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: Notre Dame where the model has it for them. Notre

986
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: Dame is fifth. Now, I don't think Notre Dame is

987
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: the fifth best team in the country, but the model does.

988
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 2: And the model also wants you to know there is

989
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: only a six point gap between Oregon Notre Dame. I

990
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: think you all understand. If we put Oregon versus Notre

991
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: Dame on a neutral field tomorrow and hung Oregon minus six,

992
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 2: it would cross seven immediately. I think most people believe that.

993
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 2: Now how it played out, that's anyone's guess. But the

994
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: market would not allow Oregon minus six to remain for

995
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: more than two nanoseconds. But the model, the model thinks

996
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: that's accurate. So you know what, it wanted to put Clemson.

997
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: Fifth last week. How'd that turnout? You hear me?

998
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: How'd that turnout? So maybe the model needs to learn

999
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: a lesson here. Ole miss is number six. Big detachment

1000
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 2: from the ape pole, even big detachment from FanDuel when

1001
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 2: I back channel with FanDuel. This is one of the

1002
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: teams that we disagree on the most. So these are

1003
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 2: not FanDuel numbers. This is the model's numbers. Most of

1004
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: the time. FanDuel could back us up. But FanDuel would

1005
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 2: not face Miss over Alabama on a neutral field right now,

1006
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: but the model would by like a quarter of a point,

1007
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 2: but the model would. Miami's there at seventh between Ole

1008
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 2: Miss and Alabama, slightly lower on Miami than the AP

1009
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: is not a ton there's a negligible difference.

1010
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: Bama's at eighth.

1011
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 2: They're shaky at eight. All these teams five through ten

1012
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: are shaky. There are flaws with all of them. Obviously,

1013
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 2: Obama is seven points off of their season high power rating,

1014
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: seven points, not seven spots.

1015
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: Penn State, they didn't fall much.

1016
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: They fell to nine because we didn't have them as

1017
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: high as the AP to begin with. So we got

1018
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 2: kind of what we expected to get out of that game.

1019
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: But here's the biggest story of this entire thing. Indiana

1020
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: is tenth. Now, if you've watched this long enough, if

1021
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: you follow the JP pull logic and methodology long enough,

1022
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: you know there's some hot upstart team every year that's

1023
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 2: got a pretty weak strength of schedule and they go

1024
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 2: on a run and they win a bunch of games,

1025
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 2: and they're undefeated this late in the year, and the

1026
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 2: AP has them in the top ten. But we're not

1027
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 2: doing what the AP does, so we've got him down

1028
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: in like the low twenties to thirties. The JP pole

1029
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 2: and the model that corresponds with it, actually thinks Indiana

1030
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: is every bit as legit as they as their record indicates.

1031
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 2: Not only have they been beating teams, they've been bludgeoning teams,

1032
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: and at this point it really doesn't matter what they

1033
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: should or shouldn't be doing. Everything about them is valid.

1034
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 2: There's not fraud alert detected with Indiana. So JP poles

1035
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: got him tenth. Never in my wildest dreams would I

1036
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 2: have guessed that Tennessee is eleven, kind of like Bama.

1037
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 2: Though Tennessee's also seven points from their season high, so

1038
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of adjustment as some of these

1039
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 2: teams have struggled offensively.

1040
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: LSU's at twelve.

1041
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: Louisville is up fourteen spots or fifteen spots to number thirteen.

1042
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 2: They jumped four and three quarter points after last week,

1043
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 2: huge huge adjustment on Louisville. I'm ashamed that we ever

1044
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: had them as low as we did, but we have

1045
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: corrected ourselves. The fraud alert did go off on Clemson.

1046
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: Clemson's now nine spots. They're number fourteen in the country.

1047
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 2: Now remember what we're doing here, we are doing neutral

1048
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 2: field favorability. So if you argue Clemson should drop any further,

1049
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 2: you're arguing that they would be a point spread underdog

1050
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 2: against SMU. For example, Clemson would not be a point

1051
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 2: spread underdog neutral field against SMU.

1052
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: They just wouldn't.

1053
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 2: So I doesn't matter what their resume says or what

1054
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 2: you think they deserve. This is where they are SMU.

1055
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 2: As I said's fifteenth up five spots. Really really good

1056
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 2: job by Rhet Lashley this year Iowa State.

1057
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: Not a ton of adjustment.

1058
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 2: They just fell two spots because we didn't have them

1059
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 2: as high as the AP had them to begin with.

1060
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,280
Speaker 1: A and M's down to seventeen. South Carolina has surged.

1061
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: They are now number eighteen in the country. It's a

1062
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: good team.

1063
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 2: Three point loss to LSU, two point loss to Alabama,

1064
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 2: and they lost to Ole Miss. Though they have lost

1065
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 2: to the number six team, the number eight team, and

1066
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: the number twelve team. That's their losses, and two of

1067
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: those were by combined five points. Let's see Iowa is

1068
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 2: at number twenty, so Brigham Young's at nineteen, Iowa is

1069
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: at twenty, and then we get to twenty one through

1070
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: twenty five.

1071
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: Colorado.

1072
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 2: Colorado jumped three spots even though they didn't play. That's

1073
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 2: caused a bunch of teams above them. Fell Boys is

1074
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 2: still at twenty two, holding pretty steady. Southern Cal is

1075
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 2: twenty third. I want to talk to you about them.

1076
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people will talk about why

1077
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 2: Southern col Is still there even though they've lost five

1078
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 2: games or whatever. They've lost five games close and this

1079
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 2: is not an AP ballot. If it was an AP ballot,

1080
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have them ranked. If it was a college

1081
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 2: football Playoff Committee meeting, I would not lobby to have

1082
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 2: USC in the top twenty five. This is about who

1083
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 2: they'd be favored against. USC would be favored on a

1084
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,959
Speaker 2: neutral field if they play Kansas State tomorrow. USC would

1085
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 2: be favored if they play Pitt tomorrow. Pitt's not even

1086
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 2: in my top twenty five. Like you want to understand

1087
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: how irrelevant record is put USC and Pitt on a

1088
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 2: neutral field.

1089
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: Ask FanDuel who'd be favored.

1090
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 2: You honestly think Pitt would be laying points even though

1091
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 2: they're just one loss team. Though, Josh, come on now,

1092
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 2: one loss versus five losses, don't care if you're interested

1093
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 2: in that. I want to introduce you to the College

1094
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 2: Football Playoff Committee rankings. I want to introduce you to

1095
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 2: the AP that's for you. This is not necessarily for you.

1096
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 2: Kansas State plummeted to twenty four, Florida's down to twenty five.

1097
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 2: That is with Lagway. If he's not playing, it's a

1098
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 2: different profile. They're not a top twenty five team. But

1099
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: if he is, I think you guys saw last week

1100
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 2: they pushed Georgia hard. They pushed him very hard. We

1101
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 2: weren't shocked by that. We picked him to cover because

1102
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 2: we thought they were a top twenty caliber team still,

1103
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 2: And if that came as a surprise to you, I

1104
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 2: think it's because people worship record too much, and that's

1105
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: not how this sport works all the time. All right,

1106
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 2: let's continue a fourth sip of Zva black cherry here,

1107
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 2: with the crushed ice nearly melting, how would you rate

1108
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 2: the approval. I mean, Colin, that's not a good intro.

1109
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 2: I want to say that again, even though we're live.

1110
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 2: What do you think the job approval rating is of

1111
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 2: Mike Norvel amongst Florida State fans? Just poll all the

1112
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 2: Florida State fans. Do you approve or disapprove of the

1113
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 2: job Mike Norvel is doing. I think you would see

1114
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 2: the most radical shift over a four month span that

1115
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 2: we've ever seen in this sport.

1116
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: Think about this.

1117
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 2: I would say if we took a poll of his

1118
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: job approval rating in August, it would be above ninety percent.

1119
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 2: If we took it now, it would be below twenty

1120
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: five percent. That's being kind. And what's changed one year

1121
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 2: half to three quarters of one season has changed. And

1122
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 2: I would argue with you, you could only have that

1123
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 2: radical a change by losing games. Scandal would not even

1124
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 2: change it. Like scandal, most fans don't even care about

1125
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: if you'll win for them massive amounts of injury. You

1126
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 2: would lose games, but at least there'd be an excuse

1127
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 2: for it. That is not the case here. They've just

1128
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: fallen off a cliff. There's no comparable data point. This

1129
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 2: is the worst nine games start for a top ten

1130
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 2: preseason team. Ever, we don't have a comparable data point.

1131
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 2: We can't look back and say, oh, well, remember that

1132
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 2: Louisville team in nineteen sixty three.

1133
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: No, I don't.

1134
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 2: It didn't happen, and we all remember how good that

1135
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 2: sixty three Louisville team was. So everybody down there disapproves

1136
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: of it. There is no hot seat talk. Well there is.

1137
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 2: It's not real because they just renewed his contract, and

1138
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that's the responsible way to look at

1139
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 2: it anyway. But the job approval is in the tank,

1140
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 2: as it should be. They're one in eight guys. They're

1141
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 2: one in eight, and a lot of these have not

1142
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: been close. That's the difference between a team like this

1143
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 2: and maybe a team like USC. Lincoln Riley hasn't lost

1144
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 2: as many games, but they're competitive. Florida State had been competitive.

1145
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 2: They got to go to Notre Dame this Saturday. There's

1146
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 2: just some really really TVMA things that Notre Dame is

1147
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 2: getting ready to do to Florida State this Saturday. You

1148
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: can't run Florida State like it's a roulette table or

1149
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 2: a roulette program. You know, the more you look at

1150
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 2: last year, the more it's obvious. They just landed on

1151
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: red thirty two. Translation, they just hit on a bunch

1152
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: of portal guys and it worked out for them, and

1153
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: they doubled down. They said, let it ride, Let it

1154
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 2: ride Black sixteen oh one and eight. There's no excuse

1155
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 2: for Florida State to be run like that. Florida State

1156
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 2: ought to be able to lean on good old fashioned

1157
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 2: high school football recruiting and good old fashion in house

1158
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: development and culture. That's what they should be able to

1159
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 2: lean on. They can't right now. Will that be the

1160
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 2: case in the future. I think that this is a

1161
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 2: lost season, But I also think the fan base understands

1162
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 2: Memphis happened. Norvel at Memphis that happened, Norvel here last

1163
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 2: year that happened because I didn't forget how to coach football,

1164
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 2: forget all the stuff that worked for and before. It's

1165
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 2: just this attempt this year is dead on arrival. And

1166
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 2: maybe there'll be a coach that experiences this every year

1167
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 2: in the new era of college football. So let's not

1168
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 2: get ahead of ourselves and just throw everything out. But

1169
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 2: you got a sense drastic changes are coming, that's obvious.

1170
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 2: I think the fan base down there since as that

1171
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 2: as well, which means nearly a complete staff overhaul. I'm

1172
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 2: sure a lot of the roster will get flipped. But

1173
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 2: at the same time, you gotta be careful trying to

1174
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 2: solve the problems the portal created by leaning heavily on

1175
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: the portal. But then if you're gonna do it the

1176
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 2: right way, that requires more patience because you're not gonna

1177
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 2: have an immediate bounce back year. So remains to be

1178
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 2: seen how the fan base handles that. But with a

1179
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 2: radical reset comes a couple of things, really like three things.

1180
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 2: Number one, you get the new hope and energy. I

1181
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 2: think he's gonna clean out most of his coaching staff.

1182
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 2: And so when you get a bunch of new guys in,

1183
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 2: you've seen your staff get turned over before. If you're

1184
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 2: an A and M fan or an Oklahoma fan, you've

1185
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 2: seen a bunch of new guys come in. Don't matter

1186
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 2: how bad you were the year before. That's ancient history.

1187
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 2: We're living in the windshield, not the rearview mirror. And

1188
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 2: it's a new hope, that's a new energy, and that

1189
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 2: means you've got a new recruiting identity, which they badly

1190
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 2: need because they are not a great recruiting program by

1191
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: any stretch right now, and it doesn't look like they're

1192
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 2: trending that way. They've got to get better recruiters in there.

1193
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 2: Their staff has to have a premium placed on recruiting,

1194
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 2: and that further energizes the fan base when you start

1195
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 2: landing guys. And then they've got to have the ability

1196
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 2: to be viewed again as a destination in the portal calls.

1197
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 2: While you don't want to lean on it, you do

1198
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 2: want to utilize it. They'll never go away from that.

1199
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 2: They shouldn't go away from that. I would argue every

1200
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 2: major program should utilize it, but right now, no one

1201
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 2: wants to go there, and you got to change that.

1202
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: And the way to change that is drastic change.

1203
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 2: And I think the fan base demands that, and they

1204
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: should job approvals in the tank right now from Mike Norvel.

1205
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean that the future can't still have

1206
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 2: you somewhat optimistic, but huge changes have to be made.

1207
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 2: All these odds I show you are present a courtesy

1219
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 2: So for example, we're going into this weekend, I'm about

1220
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 2: to add two games on the Ramanudal Express. Right now,

1221
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 2: we are on Northern Illinois minus one and a half.

1222
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 2: That game happens tomorrow night. I think we're on Mississippi

1223
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 2: State plus twenty three and a half.

1224
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:57,479
Speaker 1: That's a Saturday game.

1225
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 2: I'm adding another game midweek game here, I'm adding app

1226
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 2: State plus one and a half against Coastal Carolina and

1227
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 2: we are going to lay five and a half. We're

1228
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 2: gonna take Iowa. We have been successful with the Hawkeys

1229
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,960

1260
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: amongst Clemson fans. Very interesting, very interesting. We send our

1261
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: operatives out into the field. I'm making all this up.

1262
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 2: We send our our is out in the field, and

1263
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 2: they pull thousands upon thousands. Again, I'm making this up

1264
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 2: of Clemson fans, and they come back and they tell

1265
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 2: us Dabo's job approval rating sixty five percent. Does this

1266
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 2: sound right? Previously it would have been above eighty percent.

1267
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: Most of his career has been above ninety percent. It

1268
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 2: feels like last week was a little bit of a

1269
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 2: change moment in the trajectory of Clemson football. I said that,

1270
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 2: I don't take a word I said back. It felt

1271
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 2: like it was a little bit of an icebreaker moment.

1272
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 2: And by that I mean it feels like there was

1273
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 2: a floor on how low his job approval rating could go,

1274
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 2: and it went below what we thought the floor was.

1275
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 2: So that's an icebreaker moment, really really granular polling terminology.

1276
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Here.

1277
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 2: He gets credit for his legacy, as he should because

1278
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 2: he's one of the greatest of all time, and there's

1279
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 2: certainly no hot seat talk. I don't even want to

1280
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 2: entertain that. There's a big difference in I don't approve

1281
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 2: of the job you're doing right now, and I want

1282
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 2: you fired. Those are two very different things. However, they're

1283
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 2: on the verge of missing the playoff for the fourth

1284
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 2: consecutive year, and the reason that's a problem is because

1285
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 2: they made it the previous half dozen years.

1286
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: They had six straight years in the four.

1287
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 2: Team era where they made it, and now they're on

1288
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 2: the verge of missing out for the four straight year.

1289
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 2: And if I'm a Clemson fan, I may I may

1290
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 2: have a little problem with your portal approach, but it

1291
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 2: would be okay if you were killing it in recruiting.

1292
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the records, all right, then

1293
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 2: I'll get to recruiting. Twenty nineteen, that's the last time

1294
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 2: to play for a national title. They were fourteen and

1295
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 2: one really good year. Twenty twenty, there were ten and two,

1296
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, ten and three, twenty twenty two, eleven

1297
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 2: and three, last year, nine and four. Now they're six

1298
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 2: and two. Just a really good team, a pretty good

1299
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 2: to a really good team. That's what they've been. There's

1300
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with that. But you are a prisoner of

1301
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 2: your past success. There are consequences.

1302
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Ooh, be hiccup.

1303
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 2: There are consequences of success. Dabo has to deal with them.

1304
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 2: It's a blessed to have to deal with that.

1305
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: Believe it or not.

1306
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: But if I'm a Clemson fan and I disapprove of

1307
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 2: the job he's doing right now, I probably disapprove of

1308
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 2: it because there's been not sprinkles of portal usage. There's

1309
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 2: been zero portal usage, and there's no excuse for that.

1310
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 2: We're Clemson and we ought to go get players who

1311
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 2: can help us, who fit our criteria, who are good

1312
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 2: fits here. That doesn't mean take ten of them per cycle,

1313
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 2: but even one or two of them percycle could mean

1314
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 2: the difference in the game. And number two, the reason

1315
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 2: I hold that stance is because we're not an elite

1316
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 2: recruiting program.

1317
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 1: We're not. We're just a pretty good program. Recruiting.

1318
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one, we were fifth, and the depth of

1319
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 2: that class past the top guys has been pretty insignificant,

1320
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 2: so it kind of hollowed out as a class, very

1321
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 2: top heavy class. Twenty twenty two, we were tenth, then

1322
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 2: we were eleventh, then we were eleventh, and now we're

1323
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 2: sixteenth in the middle of this cycle. There are holes

1324
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 2: in those classes. Development case by case has been somewhat

1325
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 2: of an issue, and there's no backfilling via the portal.

1326
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 2: There's no supplementation, and we have eyes. If I'm a

1327
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 2: Clemson fan, I can watch the other programs. It used

1328
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 2: to be us in Bama. It used to be one A,

1329
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: one B for a little stretch there, and now we're

1330
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 2: not in that conversation because we can't match the athletes

1331
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 2: with the big boys. And look, this is a year

1332
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 2: where everyone's flawed. We should be able to bottle up

1333
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 2: what's unique about Clemson and make a run, but instead

1334
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 2: we're being victimized by it.

1335
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: So no, I don't approve of that. If I'm a

1336
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: Clemson fan.

1337
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 2: There are twenty four guys on this too deep that

1338
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: are red shirt sophomores are younger though, so theoretically, if

1339
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 2: the Clemson Way is still operating at a very high level,

1340
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 2: and if we have recruited good enough players and we

1341
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 2: are developing them well enough, we should kill it next

1342
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 2: year because.

1343
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: We are nucleus are nucleus.

1344
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 2: Here is young and they of course have been developed

1345
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 2: in house cause we don't believe in the portal. And

1346
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 2: so I should see a really, really good explosi Clemson

1347
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 2: team this upcoming year. And if I see that, all

1348
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,479
Speaker 2: bets are off. Approval rating goes back through the roof.

1349
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 2: Have you recruited championship caliber classes and enough championship caliber players?

1350
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 2: That's where there's the dot dot dot, and we kind

1351
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 2: of have to wait for an answer. This year's team

1352
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 2: is not that. But job approval extends beyond just, you know,

1353
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 2: the visual of this season. Clemson fans, I don't think

1354
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 2: they're impatient at all. I think they can disapprove somewhat

1355
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 2: of the direction we're going now. They can just as

1356
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 2: easily look down in Tallahassee and say, you know what,

1357
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 2: maybe we ought to count our blessings that we're not that.

1358
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 2: You know, because as much as you may you may

1359
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 2: get a little aggravated sometimes at Dabo's approach. There's a

1360
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 2: safety net built under how bad it can get. You know,

1361
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 2: if you start free falling, it ain't going that far.

1362
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 2: You're not going one to eight with daboswenty. You may

1363
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 2: go six and two. It may go six in three

1364
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 2: if they lose this week or next week or whatever.

1365
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 2: But it's not going to be a disaster because it's

1366
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 2: a sort of a disaster proof program, and you've come

1367
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 2: to take that for granted. Maybe you shouldn't based on

1368
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 2: the history of the program, but you want to be

1369
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 2: better and it's not the worst thing in the world

1370
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 2: to strive for excellence and demand it when you know

1371
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,919
Speaker 2: good and well you can have it because you've seen

1372
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 2: it achieved by the same guy who is still leading

1373
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 2: the way. We appreciate you guys so much. We got
