Are you saying time out? 332 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: Are you saying the system's not broken? 333 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 4: I'm saying the process is broken. 334 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 5: I'm saying the system can't be broken if it gave 335 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 5: me the team I think should be in, not the 336 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 5: G five teams. 337 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: That's its own separate thing. 338 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 5: You and I agree G five. You and I agree 339 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 5: on the G five things. Okay, so some broke the 340 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 5: G five thing. We all agree with that. If we 341 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 5: could take that and we could set it on the table, 342 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 5: we agree on that. The rest of it, which came 343 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 5: down to the whole Miami Notre Dame, Alabama thing, it 344 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 5: gave me the teams that I thought should be in. 345 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 4: So obviously I don't. 346 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 5: Think the entire system is broken, but the process the 347 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 5: Tuesday night rankings release Hunter you' acheck the like North 348 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 5: Korean style propagandizing right up until the eleventh hour, and 349 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 5: then they just flip the pancake on Notre Dame. 350 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 4: Notre Dame's rightfully irate about that. They opted out of. 351 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 5: Their bowl game, which I thought was a little extreme, 352 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 5: but still I understand why they feel that way. And 353 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 5: so even if you did get it right, even if 354 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 5: the product is right, if the process is wrong, you 355 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 5: just like fomented distrust in the entire thing. So from that, 356 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 5: from that angle, yes, the model or the system is broken, 357 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 5: but I don't think the results were broken. 358 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 4: If that makes any sense. 359 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: It makes a little bit of sense. But Notre Dame 360 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: all the way up until that point, like Notre Dame 361 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: got squeezed out of the College for Will playoff. Yes, 362 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: like we watched with their own eyes Alabama get whooped 363 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: by Georgia. 364 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 4: Yep, we're up there. 365 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying by you should have been in. 366 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: All the way up until the very end of the rankings. 367 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: We all knew BYU wasn't going to be in. But 368 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: the way they talked about BYU. We saw what happened 369 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: on the football field today and that kind of you know, 370 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: they were never going to be in the equation. We 371 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: bumped them back, and then you go into full protection 372 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: mode for Alabama that they don't even drop a ranking. 373 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is Notre Dame was sitting at nine. 374 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, they never really explained why they 375 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: flipped Alabama. Notre Dame. Hunter sat up there and talked 376 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: about they had a gutsy call on fourth down when 377 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: they survived Auburn, and Notre Dame whooped Stanford, but they 378 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: flipped your boys. 379 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 5: Here explained it to you. I told you what they 380 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 5: were doing. Insurance policies. 381 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 4: I told you what was coming. 382 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, an insurance policy in case we got the doomsday 383 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: scenario that you called a long time ago there, which. 384 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: Is amazing that the doomsday scenario that you've been talking 385 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 3: about for multiple weeks literally took it took place. 386 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 5: But also like, let's all right, so that's corrupt. What 387 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 5: you said is corrupt the I guess the fallacy, but 388 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 5: that's not really the right word. The flaw in their 389 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 5: entire approach is they overcorrected to begin with, so my viewpoint, 390 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 5: I got to zoom out the telescope a little bit. 391 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 5: My viewpoint is Bama should have already been ahead of 392 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 5: Notre Dame. But I also believed Miami should have already 393 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 5: been ahead of Notre Dame. But they really knee jerked 394 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 5: several times in this whole process. They knee jerked in 395 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 5: that when the rankings came out. That was I think 396 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 5: right after Bama lost to Oklahoma, or either the rankings 397 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 5: came out then Bama lost to Oklahoma. They dropped them 398 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 5: like six pots, which was way too far. So that 399 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 5: was point one. Point two was when the rankings came out, 400 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 5: Miami was at eighteen, which was too low. 401 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: We said that at the time. 402 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 5: I didn't even know that we were going to head 403 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 5: towards this conclusion, but I said at the time, there's 404 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 5: no way Miami should be that low and Notre Dame 405 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 5: should be that high. The third part, Notre Dame being 406 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 5: that high, I thought was sort of predictive. They were 407 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 5: putting Notre Dame high in preparation for what they thought 408 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 5: Notre Dame was going to do. 409 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 4: But that's not what you should be doing with the ranking. 410 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 5: Your ranking should solely reflect the body of work not well, yeah, 411 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 5: we know Notre Dames lost two games, but we think 412 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 5: they're going to go on a run, so we're already 413 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 5: gonna put them where they would be if they went 414 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 5: on that run, because then what you did is times three, 415 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 5: you made a big mess down the road where you 416 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 5: had to correct it. Because what they're hopeing is they 417 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 5: can screw the rankings up and then the teams will 418 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 5: just sort it out for them, kind of like Lane 419 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 5: Kiff in an Old miss. They knew if he was 420 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 5: going to leave that they weren't going to let him 421 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 5: coach the playoff, but they kept on putting off facing 422 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 5: that fact because they just hoped the world would work 423 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 5: itself out. Well, it didn't, and then it got really 424 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 5: messy at the end. The playoff committee didn't do their 425 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 5: job properly, so it got really messy at the end, 426 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 5: and so then people have like this tunnel vision. They 427 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 5: got the racehorse blinders on and all they see is 428 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 5: that final snapshot, which is totally fair. It's not the 429 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 5: public's job to do the committee's job, and so the 430 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 5: public looks at it and sees just what you said 431 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 5: and just what I said, which is independent of what 432 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 5: I think should have been. 433 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 4: What was was Notre Dame. 434 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 5: Was ahead of Miami going into the final week, neither 435 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 5: of them played, and then all of a sudden the 436 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 5: eleventh hour, the Committee came in and said, well, you 437 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 5: know there's a head to head. 438 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 4: Between these teams, we need to flip them. 439 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 5: Well, the head to he was their last week and 440 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 5: two weeks ago, and three weeks ago, it's been there 441 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 5: all season. 442 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. That's my point is when you're looking at deep 443 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: state college football and big conference, they're talking to us 444 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: like they're talking to America, like we're all idiots, and 445 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: we can't see through what they had to do in 446 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: the eleventh hour because the way it was set up 447 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: like Notre Dame was again number nine for a long 448 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: period of time until they dropped a ten. We go 449 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: into conference championship weekend and everybody talks about should conference 450 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: championship games meet anything? 451 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 2: Should they not mean anything? 452 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: We saw two teams BYU and their championship game, Bama 453 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: and their championship get whooped, and again the Committee went 454 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: in full protection mode on Bama and protected their ranking 455 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: at large because we were having the conversation the night before. 456 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: This is one where Notre Dame and Bama are now 457 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: side by side. They could easily flip back to where 458 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: Notre Dame is now nine, because again they still never 459 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: explained why they put bam my head in the first place. 460 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: But we all knew the insurance policy. But now Alabama 461 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: sitting there at nine, they got whooped. They sit there 462 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: and talk about BYU their ranking didn't get protected out large. 463 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: I know they were never in the College wall playoffs. 464 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: I know they were never getting in unless they want, 465 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: but they still drop to get Miami right next to 466 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: Notre Dame and now on their feeding everybody that had 467 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: the head game, which is that's what they want everybody 468 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: eating at. But if Virginia wins, Miami's not getting Notre 469 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: Dame is in the college football playoffs, Virginia is getting in. 470 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: Does that make sense? 471 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: That makes sense? 472 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 4: Two things? All right? 473 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 5: So you asked, what do you mean about the ACC tiebreakers? 474 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 5: So I'm gonna hit that in a second, because that 475 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 5: would have fixed everything. That's simply young people are making 476 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 5: this argument, and people are saying, hey, why did Brigham 477 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 5: Young fall? But Alabama didn't fall because they look the same. 478 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 5: On Saturday, both of them are in conference championship games. 479 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 5: Both of them lose convincingly. Brigham Young drops what they 480 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 5: dropped one spot, two. 481 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: Spots, dropped enough to just ki Miami next. 482 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 5: Even if they dropped in one spot, they dropped further 483 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 5: than Alabama, Becausbama didn't drop a right. A couple of 484 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 5: things that if I wanted to play Devil's advocate, if 485 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 5: I was a deep plant, and I may be, what 486 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 5: I would say is one of them is a comfortable truth, 487 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: and that is Brigham Young winning got smoked by a 488 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 5: team that already smoked them before. Bama went and got 489 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 5: smoked by a team they beat in their own building 490 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 5: earlier in the season. So at least Bama's track record 491 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 5: has a win over Georgia this year. B why you 492 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 5: never got close to Texas Tech. The second thing, this 493 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 5: is the uncomfortable truth, is what I told you last 494 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 5: week and the week before, and that is, whether people 495 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 5: want to admit it or not, the treatment of conferences 496 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 5: is conditional in college football. The Big Twelve is not 497 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 5: going to get the same respect the SEC does. The 498 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 5: Big Twelve is not going to get the same respect 499 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 5: the Big Ten does. And that's just the way it is. 500 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 5: You don't have to like it, but I'm telling you 501 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 5: that's why that happened. And then the third thing, the 502 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 5: ACC tiebreaker, which I keep glossing over because I think 503 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 5: people live in the weeds of this, but they don't. 504 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 5: If nothing else changed but the ACC fixed their tie breakers, 505 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 5: none of this would have happened. 506 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: And what was what needs to be fixed with the 507 00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 2: AEC TIB breaks. 508 00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 4: All they would need to do. 509 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 5: Everyone's first tie breakers had to head. So if you 510 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 5: and I were six and two in conference, and I 511 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: played you and I beat you, I get the tiebreaker. 512 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 5: That's that's universal. The second tiebreaker should be conference standings 513 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 5: based on the college football playoff rankings. So if we've 514 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 5: got a five way tie in the ACC, it doesn't 515 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 5: come down to what a sixth grade calculations equate to 516 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 5: or whatever like, it should be the college football playoff rankings. 517 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 5: And in that case, Miami would have gone to Charlotte 518 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 5: and they probably would have won convincingly. Miami would have 519 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 5: been the ACC's team and it would have been a 520 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 5: moot point. Bama would have been in only one G 521 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 5: five team would have been in. Notre Dame would have 522 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 5: been in, and Miami would have been in. Yeah, instead, 523 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 5: we got this because the ACC couldn't get out of 524 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 5: its own way to the point where a five loss 525 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 5: team ended up in their conference title game. 526 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Virginia couldn't get the job done with the ACC. 527 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: You wouldn't have to, you wouldn't have the two. 528 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, you wouldn't have those two G five And if 529 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 5: Virginia got your job done, there's not that much different 530 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 5: than virgin and a G five team like Virginia is 531 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 5: going to be a sixteen some odd point dog, whereas 532 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 5: James Madison's a twenty one point dog. Either way, there's 533 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 5: going to be a huge gap, Like there's gonna be 534 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 5: an undeserving team by universal standards in the playoff either way, 535 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 5: Whereas if Miami would have gone to Charlotte one, at 536 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 5: least you have a playoff caliber team. At least you 537 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 5: have a team loaded up with future Sunday guys, a 538 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 5: team that realistically could make noise. You don't say that 539 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 5: about Tulane, you don't say that about James Madison. Now, 540 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 5: if we could broach this for just a second, the 541 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 5: whole G five inclusion thing, I think a lot of 542 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 5: people make faulty arguments about why the G five shouldn't 543 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 5: be in the playoff. So you've got people who think 544 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 5: the G five should be in the playoff. So we'll 545 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 5: do this again. They're on the table here, they're not 546 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: part of this conversation. You already have your opinion. There 547 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 5: are those of us, are you, and yeah, you're definitely man, 548 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 5: You're mister ANTIG five. 549 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: So not I respect you. 550 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 5: You You desrise the very fiber of the being of 551 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 5: a player on a G five ord Michigan. 552 00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 4: Yes, so I would. 553 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: Say road State to argue for Taylor when we were 554 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: first talking about right here, okay, well defending Taylor when 555 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: we were first talking about the G five teams on busting. 556 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: It's more so twenty twenty five watching the G five 557 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: teams knowing like none of these teams should be in 558 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: the college close, not with the way we're arguing about 559 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: all of these other teams that are on the bubble. 560 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 2: Yes, you are believe every G five school like remembers 561 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: Boise State, Oklahoma, Fiesta Bowl, AB State, Michigan. 562 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 3: Well okay, all right, I'm just I mean a State 563 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: Michigan as well, Gain And then they think, oh, we 564 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 3: could do all these things. But that's like, hey, bois 565 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 3: State that year in the Fiesta Bowl. I guess olomost 566 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 3: an outlier. If the College Will Playoff was structured at 567 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 3: twelve teams, I agree they should probably be. 568 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 2: They would probably be like seven Boise State making it 569 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: last year. 570 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, okay, I could see this team coming 571 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 3: in being a little destructive or making games closely at 572 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 3: least competitive. But I don't think G five teams should 573 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 3: just get a bit in because it's fair, like we 574 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 3: all all have to be equal to making sure that 575 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: everyone is represented somehow, like college football has been. 576 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: These kids go from. 577 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 3: High school, they're one percenters, they get to go play football, 578 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 3: whether it's a big school, small school, whatever. When it 579 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: comes to the College Fool Playoff, I want the twelve 580 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: best teams that are going to be the best matchups 581 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 3: down to the wire games that can sit there and 582 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 3: be like who truly is the best team? Because the 583 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: only I keep bringing up Vanderbilt and Texas can be 584 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: in the conversation too. It's in like Notre Dame, like 585 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: they all should have a good argument to be in 586 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 3: the College Wall playoffs. We get it was never an 587 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 3: option because one G five team has to make it 588 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 3: and now because the ACC can hold, they're into the 589 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 3: bargain of being a power for conference, they two G five. 590 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 2: Teams have to get in. 591 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: Yep. 592 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 3: I have respect for both those teams, but I do 593 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 3: not think they should be in the College World playoffs right. 594 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: I think there's there's you see, yah, the system's broken, 595 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: systems broke. 596 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 3: But here the thing I love about this season, though, 597 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 3: is stuff like this has to happen for change to 598 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 3: take place because a lot of people. I've seen a 599 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 3: lot of people go, hey, we gotta go to six team, 600 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: we gotta go. 601 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 2: To twenty four. 602 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 3: It's like, if you keep kicking the can down the 603 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 3: road more and more teams. And a couple weeks ago 604 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 3: I said he, I was like, I kind of like 605 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: the idea of sixteen. I don't like the idea of 606 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 3: sixteen right now because the process, the timing, the calendar 607 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 3: has to change for the count for the playoff bracket 608 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 3: to be correct. Then we can go and look at 609 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 3: the sixteen, the twenty four whatever people want to do, 610 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: the playing games, those types of things. But if it's 611 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 3: not fixed at twelve, it's not going to be fixed 612 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: at sixteen because we're gonna have the same argument just 613 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 3: down the road. 614 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 4: So I agree with you. The three of us largely 615 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 4: agree on this G five stance. 616 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 5: But here's what I want to say to anyone out 617 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 5: there watching, because there are a lot of debates about this, 618 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 5: and people get themselves caught up in debates, and one 619 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 5: of the worst stances you can take about the G 620 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 5: five view is I don't think G five teams should 621 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 5: be in because they can't compete in the playoff. I 622 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 5: don't think JMU should be in because they're going to 623 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 5: get blown out by Oregon. It leaves this really, really 624 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 5: obvious hole in your theory. 625 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 4: And that is what happens. 626 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 5: If they go out there and it's a competitive game 627 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter, your argument is shot. 628 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,959 Speaker 4: That shouldn't be your argument. 629 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 5: Like what your argument should be is, I don't think 630 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 5: G five team should be in the playoff because here's 631 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 5: my argument. I don't think G five team should be 632 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 5: the plaoff because they don't meet the minimum baseline of 633 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 5: struggle during the regular season that it should take to 634 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 5: merit playoff inclusion. I was looking at the schedule last night. 635 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 5: I took JMU and I took Oklahoma, and I put 636 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 5: them next to each other. And I just looked at 637 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 5: our power ratings, they're going to be similar with everyone's 638 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 5: power ratings, like FanDuel would have roughly the same numbers. 639 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 5: JMU played no teams power rated top thirty. They played 640 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 5: one team power rated top fifty, and they lost to 641 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 5: them by fourteen points. That's Louisville. Outside of that, their 642 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 5: toughest opponents are. Their toughest opponent was Old Dominion, who's 643 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 5: number fifty two. That's their best win over number fifty two. 644 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 5: Oklahoma played eight teams power rated in the top thirty. 645 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 5: They're not playing the same sport, so I don't My 646 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 5: argument about the G five would be the same whether 647 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 5: JMU gets beat fifty to nothing or whether they legit 648 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 5: going upset organ That proves nothing to me because I 649 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 5: don't judge you based on what I think you would 650 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 5: be capable of. I judge you base what I think 651 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 5: you earned. And my very simple stance on G five 652 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 5: is the strength of schedule that they play does not 653 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 5: warrant inclusion into the playoff because you're not playing the 654 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 5: same caliber football. You're not playing the same caliber of opponent. 655 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 5: So like and the other thing is, if people want 656 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 5: to go back and point out the upsets in the past, dude, 657 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 5: the boiss of like the late two thousands, those teams 658 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 5: would murder current G five teams because you didn't have 659 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 5: the transfer portal and NIO. That works the way it 660 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 5: works right now. The way it works now is anything 661 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 5: that is like the slightest blinking light on these G 662 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 5: five rosters immediately gets posts. Yeah, by the big boys. 663 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 5: It happens with coaches too. We're watching both of these 664 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 5: teams in the playoff whose head coaches already took Power 665 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 5: four jobs. The players do the same thing, So it's 666 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 5: impossible for a G five program to ever start to 667 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 5: elevate to the level where they would be remotely comparable 668 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 5: to the big boys. So then people listen to that 669 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 5: and they stop listening really thirty seconds in, and they 670 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 5: just think, oh, man, you must hate the G five. 671 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 5: Why do you hate the little guy? Why do you 672 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 5: hate us having a seat at the table? 673 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 4: I don't. 674 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 5: I just wish you had your own table that made 675 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 5: sense and it gave you enough to eat to where 676 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 5: if you really do get big enough, you take the 677 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 5: place of one of the weaker guys up at the 678 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 5: head table. Because we got plenty of weak chairs at 679 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 5: the head table. So if you want promotion and relegation 680 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 5: to where you're not permanently banished to table number two. 681 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 5: But we're also acknowledging there's a clear difference in Louisiana 682 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 5: State University and Louisiana Monroe University. That's the world I 683 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 5: would love to live in. It sounds so logical, and 684 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 5: then they just they beat it like a piniona right. 685 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, for me and for G five's to even have 686 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 3: a conversation. To get in the playoff, it would have 687 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: to be like, you're twelve and oh. 688 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 4: It's obvious without an auto bid. 689 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 3: Yes you're you're twelve and oh and you're winning. You're 690 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 3: winning all your games by multiple time shows. And it's like, 691 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 3: to them it might be unfair, but based on like 692 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 3: the old dominion being their best win. As Jamie you 693 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 3: were talking about, yeah, being their best win. It's like 694 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 3: that's crazy to me. 695 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, ol. 696 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: When someone says old. 697 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 3: Dominion to me, I think about a band, not a football, 698 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 3: maybe the freight line. It's like, that's nuts. And now 699 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 3: we got to deal with those two teams. The thing 700 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 3: I do love, though, is like now we get into 701 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 3: and I thought like one of your points was maybe 702 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 3: the best point is like, to get into collegeable playoff 703 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 3: you have, did we have a minimum ranking and. 704 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 4: Or a minimum struggle struggle? 705 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, It's like if I could be the top ranked 706 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 5: figure skater in the world and you could be number seven, 707 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 5: but if you actually have to go and do all 708 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 5: the flips and the triple axles and stuff, and I 709 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 5: just kind of skate around on a pond, it doesn't 710 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 5: really matter what people think I would be capable of. 711 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 5: He actually went and performed under pressure with judges and 712 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 5: people looking at him, and maybe the ice wasn't as 713 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 5: smooth because the little Zamboni machine didn't even clear it 714 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 5: off for you. You had to go out in the trenches 715 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 5: and you had to earn it. I'm just sitting over 716 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 5: here saying, well, think about what I could do. It 717 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 5: doesn't matter what you could do, right. That's why, like 718 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 5: I think it's it's the dumb slant of an argument 719 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 5: to just say, oh, I don't think James Madison should 720 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 5: be in cause they're going to go get killed. Like 721 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 5: with SMU last year, I thought SMU did belong in 722 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 5: the playoff because I thought they earned it through meeting 723 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 5: a minimum threshold of strength to schedule. Then they went 724 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 5: and got blown out by Penn State, and a lot 725 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 5: of people said, oh, that's proof they didn't belong. 726 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 4: No, it's not. 727 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 5: It's just proof they're not as good as Penn State. Yeah, 728 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 5: but they belonged in the playoff. Conversely, JMU could go 729 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 5: play Oregon Razor tight and it doesn't prove to me. 730 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 5: My argument's flawed because my argument was never about what 731 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 5: they're technically capable of doing in one four quarter game. 732 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 5: Because what I don't think they could do over the 733 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 5: span of twelve four quarter games is go to Iowa 734 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 5: and go to Penn State and face Indiana and do 735 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 5: what Oregon had to do. 736 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 4: That's what I don't think they could do. 737 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: All Right, ladies, gentlemen, we went up this episode to 738 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 3: bring you form Energy. Form Energy delivers best in class 739 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 3: taste with natural flavors and zero sugar. Form Managery has 740 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 3: natural caffeine derived from green Tea. Form comes in a 741 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 3: variety of flavors screaming freedom, that's rocket pop inspired, grape smashed, 742 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 3: blue Blitz, orange fury. It's perfect for those who put 743 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 3: in the worthing about moneyline Matthews as soon as the 744 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 3: games end on Sunday, he wakes up in the morning early, 745 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 3: pops pops up in a form energy and just gets 746 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 3: after it all day long making the correct decisions so 747 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 3: we can keep going viral form energy. 748 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 2: We do the work well said, you said something earlier. 749 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the SEC bias because you 750 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: earlier were talking about SEC Big twelve. Big twelve is 751 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: never going to be compared to the SEC Big twelves 752 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: are going to be comparison to the Big ten. But 753 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: also it's like we were on the All cast and 754 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: I sat there a couple times in that second half 755 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the camera and I'm like, putting 756 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: Notre Dame in Miami both in the playoff over Alabama. 757 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: I think everybody understands that the SEC does carry They 758 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: carry the bigger stick, they carry the deeper pockets, They 759 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: have the most depth as far as talent different rosters 760 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: and teams in the SEC. But that, to me, it 761 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that we should just accept it when we 762 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: know that, hey, there is there, very much is SEC 763 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: bias coming into this equation because when they put Notre 764 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: Dame in Miami in front of the people, and all 765 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: we do is nit pick as much as we can 766 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: for whatever their resumes are. We talk about their Week 767 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: one matchup where Miami beat them by three points. We're 768 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: talking about how badly they beat teams who were inferior 769 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: to them. But then when Alabama gets in this situation, 770 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: they're getting whooped right there in the SEC Championship game, 771 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, well, what was Alabama doing in Week 772 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: one when Miami beat Notre Dame by three points? They 773 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: were getting mopped by Florida State. And if we're looking 774 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: at how are they performing late in the season against 775 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: inferior opponents. They beat South Carolina JP no disrespect. They 776 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: beat South Carolina by seven points. They had to hang 777 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: on to that. They went in they they didn't beat 778 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: LSU very badly when LSU had just fired their coach 779 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: and Bama was coming off with bye week, I believe. 780 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: And then they survive Auburn limp into the SEC Championship, 781 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: get whooped by a team that they had beat by 782 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: three points earlier in the year. But they got whooped 783 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: same way BYU, same way. We've seen ass whoopings happen, 784 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: So to me, I'm thinking, I feel like it's justified 785 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: when everybody's thinking, Yo, is Alabama a top team that 786 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: should be the collegewall playoff over these other teams that 787 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: we're arguing about on the bubble because we've seen them 788 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: over the last month and they're clearly wounded going into 789 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: this thing. 790 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: Do you mind if I ask one question before you go. 791 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 5: What I'm going to do over here? Why you ask 792 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 5: is I'm going to zoom the telescope out? Okay, because 793 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 5: I have context. You're not wrong. 794 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 4: I just have context to add to. 795 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: I'm with the telescope thing too. 796 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 3: I just I don't want to know if at Obama 797 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 3: did not play Georgia in the SEC Championship and we 798 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: didn't set the result that has wiped from our brain. 799 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 2: Do you believe Alabama should have been in the playoff? 800 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 5: Uh? 801 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 2: Yes, Okay. 802 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: So if we're going to go into an SEC Championship 803 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 3: where there's two other teams that are in the playoffs 804 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 3: already that didn't earn the right to play in that game, 805 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 3: and we're gonna three three excuse me, and we're gonna 806 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 3: judge those teams. We're gonna judge the two teams that 807 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 3: have earned the right to play in a game for 808 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 3: a championship and we're gonna judge them so much that 809 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 3: they are now losing a chance to which is the 810 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 3: ultimate prize in the national championship. How is that fair 811 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 3: to Alabama because they can lean on eight They had 812 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 3: eight guys out, so I think three or four are 813 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,719 Speaker 3: the best some of their best players on the team. 814 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: And yeah, to that, I agree, But that to me 815 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: is where it's like, the fact that they got protected 816 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: with their ninth ranking at large is what blows my 817 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: mind because again, they can still earn their way into 818 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: the playoff because you move them down to ten, they're 819 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: still in the playoff in that situation. And to me, 820 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: it's like, are these championship games, like what do they 821 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: even mean to everybody? Because if Bama wins, they all 822 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're talking them getting the potential by 823 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: week they get to jump up so many slots, it's 824 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: a reward. It's like, okay, if they mean if the 825 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: championship teams mean nothing for the teams that lose that 826 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: are already positioned in the College Wabill Playoff, it's like, 827 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: all right, this is a dumb argument, but it's like, 828 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: all right, so Ohio State lost by three why should 829 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: they lose. They're at large ranking still being the number 830 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: one team, But I know that's just a flip. They're 831 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: playing for the one seed. Yeah, I'm just taking multiple 832 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: movement overall. Why are we moving teams? Why? Okay, b Y, 833 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: you got whooped again protecting they're at large ranking at eleven, 834 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: why do they have to get moved down. 835 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 3: If two teams play each other in a championship game 836 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 3: and the winner of that game got a buy that's 837 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 3: worth playing for. 838 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 5: Also, Alabama plays that game knowing, Hey, if we win it, yeah, 839 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 5: that's what we're playing for. We're playing for a conference title, 840 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 5: and we're playing to jump up into the by Terrace Hill. Yeah, 841 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 5: if they lose it, even if they're still in it's 842 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 5: not like they got They didn't get punished because they 843 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 5: end up being one of the only teams in the 844 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 5: playoff that ended up having to play five games to 845 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 5: win a national title. Like from the end of the 846 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 5: regular season, you go play your conference title game, we'll 847 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 5: miss it. 848 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 4: A and M's not. Oklahoma's not. They're sitting at home. 849 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 5: So if you go playing Atlanta and you lose, it's 850 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 5: not like that game didn't happen, right, it's not like 851 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 5: the bumps and bruises didn't happen exactly. Then you don't 852 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 5: get a first round by so you got four more 853 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 5: to go. After that, you end up playing five games, 854 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 5: which is probably impossible for them to win a national title. 855 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 5: But go back to the telescope, if we zoom it 856 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 5: out a little bit, they did get smoked by Florida 857 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 5: State at the beginning of the year. They did get 858 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 5: smoked at the end of the year by Georgia. They 859 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 5: did look suspect on the road against South Carolina. They 860 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 5: did look they looked okay, like they covered against LSU. 861 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 5: It's just defense had to carry it diverdly. They did 862 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 5: have to hold on against Auburn. All that stuff happened, 863 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 5: But it's important to note that right before that, they 864 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 5: had that stretch where they had to play at Georgia 865 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 5: with one of the best wins in the season, going 866 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 5: on the road and winning in Athens, and then they 867 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 5: had to play Vanderbilt and beat them by double digits, 868 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 5: and then they had to go on the road before 869 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 5: Missouri was injured and their season was shot, and they 870 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 5: beat them on the road, and then they had to 871 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 5: come home and beat Tennessee. So that little four week 872 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 5: stretch that's more impressive than anything anyone went through all year, 873 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 5: I think provides a lot of context in terms of injury, 874 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 5: in terms of vulnerability down the stretch, for why Alabama 875 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 5: looked the way they did. And while everyone's asking, well, 876 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 5: what were you all doing while Notre Dame was busy 877 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,240 Speaker 5: playing two top teams in the beginning of the season, 878 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 5: Apply that same logic when Notre Dame was playing that 879 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 5: like jelly middle of their season, what was Alabama doing? 880 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 5: Bama was in the meat of their schedule playing a 881 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 5: troism in a row. Instead of there's one here, then 882 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 5: a month later there's another one. They went boom boom, 883 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 5: boom boom, No bye, go on the road to Columbia 884 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 5: South Carolina, And like that's why I remember when we 885 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 5: wrote that game down and we were just talking about 886 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 5: get out of there by one point, get out of 887 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 5: there by any means necessary, because they're beat to death. 888 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 5: Get to the bye week. However, you can like, it 889 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 5: was just big for me that they won that game period, 890 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 5: having provided the context to what they had just gone through. 891 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 5: So you can apply like you'd apply that logic, but 892 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 5: to me, you gotta apply the whole logic, like you 893 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 5: gotta look at the whole picture. That's why I didn't 894 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 5: think it was unfair that they were in the top 895 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 5: ten nine whatever. You can argue they shouldn't have jumped 896 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 5: Notre Dame right before the final Sunday, But my counter 897 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 5: would be they already should have been ahead of Notre Dame, 898 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 5: so it should have been a moot point, which was 899 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 5: kind of my stants all along. I thought it was 900 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 5: dumb that they weren't ahead of Notre Dame. I thought 901 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 5: it was dumb that Miami wasn't already ahead of Notre Dame, 902 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 5: which provided a lot of the fireworks. 903 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 4: At the end. 904 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 5: But we end up arguing about like the merit of 905 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 5: teams when you ought to be arguing about how like 906 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 5: mind numbingly stupid the process of the committee was. Because 907 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 5: you find out, oh man, a lot of us actually 908 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 5: kind of agree. What are we yelling about. We're yelling 909 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 5: about the committee. That's what you're yelling about up Yeah. 910 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 3: And the way the committee breaks down the games were 911 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 3: going for four, if you know, being it is so 912 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 3: ridiculous when he could literally just use logic to explain 913 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 3: their answers and it's it's simple like Miami head to 914 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,720 Speaker 3: head and common opponents were better than Notre Dame, regardless 915 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 3: as the beginning of the season, at the end of season, 916 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 3: whatever it was, Miami should be over them. 917 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 2: That's just what is. 918 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 3: They're more deserving regardless what they're better or not. If 919 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 3: you just say that, is Notre Dame really feeling this 920 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 3: big of a fit We're now they're like breaking all 921 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 3: ties with the ACC. 922 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 4: Now, you remember. 923 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 5: Going into Conference Champions of Saturday, when they jumped Alabama 924 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 5: above Notre Dame. I looked at it and I said, oh, well, 925 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 5: better late than never. You corrected your flaw. Then Hunter 926 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 5: y're Achek, the committee chair, came on camera and Rhese 927 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 5: Davis asked him why Alabama jumped Notre Dame, and that 928 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 5: dude started listing the reasons, and one of the things 929 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 5: he said was, well, you know, they jumped out to 930 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 5: a seventeen to nothing lead. Auburn came back to tie 931 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 5: the game, so they also blew a seventeen to nothing 932 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 5: to lead. 933 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 4: Well, they ran the ball better today. 934 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 5: Well, you know, they had a gutsy call on fourth 935 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 5: and two and I just sat there and I just went, oh, No, 936 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 5: I can't defend this he made They made a move 937 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 5: I agree with, and yet this sounds so bad. Yeah, 938 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to spend all my time criticizing this, 939 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 5: even though it correlates with a decision that I agree with. 940 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 4: It's the craziest thing that. 941 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, that's where it's like, if there's accountability 942 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: in the college world payoff committee, to see how they're 943 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: breaking all this stuff down, because again he sang all 944 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: that stuff publicly, making you know, making everybody else feel like. 945 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 2: Yo, we see through all of this bullshit. 946 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: We're gonna need a better argument, an argument that you 947 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: provided with Alabama the Gaullt being being in the playoff, 948 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: and to me, it's like the logic of how that 949 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: year ended and everything else, that logic is like, where 950 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: is that logic when again, they could just move down 951 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: they're still in the playoff and they could just move 952 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: down a slot, but they couldn't do it because Virginia 953 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: couldn't take care of business for the conference of the 954 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: ACC So they needed to find a way. We got 955 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: to figure out a way to get to manipulate this. 956 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: Get these guys together. Hey, we value the head to 957 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: head game It's like that wasn't it. If Virginia wins, 958 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: Miami isn't in over Notre Dame. I can't believe this 959 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: is now? 960 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 5: Can I full it one more theory to you guys? 961 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 5: This is a very fifty thousand foot theory. So a 962 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 5: lot of people are saying that playoff expansion is the 963 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 5: way you fix all this. I of course disagree with that, 964 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 5: but let's remove the Notre Dame stuff for a second. 965 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 5: Think about Vandy, think about Texas, think about Brigham Young, 966 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 5: because those are teams that were just on the outside 967 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 5: looking at or last year it would have been South 968 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 5: Carolina and Alabama and Ole Miss. So last year people 969 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 5: were saying, we need to expand. These teams deserve a shot. 970 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 5: I disagreed. It is my belief that people being mad 971 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 5: at the end of the season isn't automatically evidence that 972 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 5: something's broken. I think that if you have a playoff 973 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 5: that's the proper size, you'll know it because there will 974 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 5: be anger at the end of a season because it 975 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:04,240 Speaker 5: was exclusive to where not everybody could get in. Therefore, 976 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 5: some people were left outside the door banging on it. 977 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 5: But that just means there's still enough scarcity and that 978 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 5: valuable thing you have that it means something. If you 979 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 5: expand to the point where no one's mad, it means 980 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 5: you've got a playoff that's way too big. 981 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 4: That's how I feel about that. 982 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: I don't disagree that twelve teams is the proper amount 983 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: for a playoff. I just think in twenty twenty five, 984 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: where we're currently at with this system, the system was 985 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: broken this year because of two G five teams being in, 986 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: and there was the squeeze out operation to get Notre 987 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: Dame out when they led them to believe the entire time, 988 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: when all these rankings came out every Tuesday, that they 989 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: were going to be in the college football play You believe. 990 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 5: This happened to Notre Dame of all programs, because for 991 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 5: my entire life grown up in the South, I was 992 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 5: taught that the entire system was rigged in the favor 993 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 5: of Notre Dame. Yeah, and now we fast forward to 994 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 5: present day and Notre Dame's making the kind of argument 995 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 5: that like a Fresno State would have made in the past, 996 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 5: of man, you're boxing us out. The system's built just 997 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 5: rigged against us. 998 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 4: Notre Dame. Notre Dame football, it. 999 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 2: Was the favorite child of rage against the. 1000 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 4: Machine South Bend, Indiana, who also. 1001 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 2: Notre Dame got a clause in there. 1002 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: What was it the MoU where it's like, if they're 1003 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: a ToxT year, next year they have an automatic bin. 1004 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,800 Speaker 5: Lost Dellinger, man over Yahoo, was just licking that index finger, 1005 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 5: flipping through papers and realize that, and to his credit, 1006 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 5: he said, wait a second, no one's reported this, and 1007 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 5: it's just there, but it's in all that boring legal 1008 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 5: ease and you got to like push the readers way 1009 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 5: down on the tip of the nose to even read 1010 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 5: it in there. And he saw that and he reported it, 1011 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,399 Speaker 5: and everyone was like, wait a second. So they're they're 1012 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 5: making this argument, they're like railing against the operation knowing 1013 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 5: this will never happen to them again, like mathematically or contractually, 1014 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 5: they're guaranteed it'll never happen again. 1015 00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 4: Where did that come from? No one knew that. I 1016 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 4: had never heard that. Yeah before this past week, Yeah. 1017 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: You never heard of automatic I. 1018 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 5: Never heard that they had negotiated as part of agreeing 1019 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 5: to whatever current and present or future version of the 1020 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 5: playoff we're going to have that they're guaranteed if they're 1021 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 5: in the top twelve they get a they get a 1022 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 5: playoff spot, or if it expands to sixteen, like whatever 1023 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 5: the size of the playoff is, if they're in that 1024 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 5: number or higher, they get a spot in the playoff, 1025 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 5: which has a lot of people up in arms. Honestly, 1026 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 5: there's a very very minute chance that that ever comes 1027 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 5: into play. But ironically it would have come into play 1028 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 5: this year. So that but here's my counter. All right, 1029 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 5: So you're thinking based on that language, you're thinking, oh, man, 1030 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 5: if that was in place this year, then that means 1031 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 5: even though Miami was tenth, then Notre Dame was eleventh, 1032 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 5: Notre Dame would have still gotten in it. Well, if 1033 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 5: you believe the system is built against you, how do 1034 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 5: you not know the committee wouldn't have just bumped you 1035 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 5: down another spot, and they wouldn't have just bumped you 1036 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 5: down to thirteen if you believe that, Like, I don't 1037 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 5: know that the system's rigged against them. I think the 1038 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 5: system ironically favored them too much in the racegular season 1039 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 5: and had to correct itself, which is corrupt and flawed 1040 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 5: and stupid, but that's the way it happened. But I 1041 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 5: don't know that that just automatically gives me all the 1042 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 5: comfort in the world if I'm a Notre Dame fan. 1043 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 3: And an example of them being comforted is losing their 1044 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 3: first two games and still being in the top twenty five, 1045 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 3: that being like the first time in however many years 1046 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 3: something happened. 1047 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: Right, Like, yeah, that that process it kind of did 1048 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: it to themselves. But I to me, it's like, Yo, 1049 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: if they would just come out and say the reality 1050 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: of the situation versus trying to make stuff up to 1051 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: where if you just look behind the curtain you can 1052 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: figure out what happened to me, I feel like that 1053 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: would that would play with more favor. 1054 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 2: From the public eye, you know what I mean. 1055 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: Like a few weeks ago when they kind of flipped 1056 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: Bama Notre Dame, they started to put insurance policies in place. Hey, 1057 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: b y, you could be collateral damage here if they 1058 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 1: get whooped. It's just more like if at any point 1059 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 1: that it came out and said, hey, we kind of 1060 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: mess this up, dude from the ums. 1061 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 2: Like Miami, we do value that. 1062 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:55,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1063 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 2: They It's like if we can. 1064 00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 3: Get a mistake, if they talk like normally people, yeah 1065 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 3: we're sorry, we actually made a mistake. We actually did 1066 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,879 Speaker 3: not put in the head to head or the pit 1067 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 3: game or any of that. Miami should be over over 1068 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 3: Notre Dame because of these reasons, because we made a mistake. 1069 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, we're probably all pissed off. We're like, oh, 1070 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 3: these guys made a mistakes. Who's to say is not 1071 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 3: going to happen again? But like, at least they're not 1072 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,879 Speaker 3: hiding behind bullshit like a gutsy call or. 1073 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 5: Or to two got no other coach made a call 1074 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,439 Speaker 5: to go for it on fourth. Okay, so just Ryan 1075 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,840 Speaker 5: Grubb and Alabama, Hey, how about just saying this we 1076 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 5: changed our mind? 1077 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, we could just say we changed. 1078 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 5: We're thirteen humans and as we continue to watch the games, 1079 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 5: we changed our mind. 1080 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, because every other person does. That is upset as 1081 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 3: people want to be. That are not the non Alabama 1082 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 3: fans out there who want to be upset about Alabama 1083 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 3: being in Imagine if Alabama lost where they did in 1084 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 3: the SEC Championship and they're out, now, what would take 1085 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 3: place in college football? 1086 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 4: I don't think we would have an SEC championship. 1087 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 2: I don't think we'd have conference championships at all anymore. 1088 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 5: Not that they not, not that people care because if 1089 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 5: you're anti Alabama you probably don't care about the SEC Championship. Yeah, 1090 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 5: I'm just saying there's a lot of other collateral damage 1091 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 5: that comes along with that, And I don't really even 1092 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 5: know what it is as I say it. I just 1093 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 5: know it would have been a mess. It kind of 1094 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 5: would have been fun to watch, just purely like voyeuristically. 1095 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 5: You want to watch the world burn? 1096 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 2: Oh god, this is crazy. 1097 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: Yeah.

Yeah yeah, yeah, dude. 1117 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 3: It's it's nuts in the way Notre Dame is handling this, 1118 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 3: like when they say we're not gonna play a ball game. 1119 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 3: I'm personally of the opinion that the only thing that 1120 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 3: matters about Bowl games is the fifteen practices that you 1121 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 3: get playing the game and the gifts. But playing the game, 1122 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 3: there's so many guys that set out it's not gonna 1123 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 3: it's like, really a chance to get the scrimmage. 1124 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,399 Speaker 2: It's an exhibition match now. 1125 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 1: But for some guys, some seniors, you're never going to 1126 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 1: play again. 1127 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 3: I don't disagree either with the cheerleaders, the band, all 1128 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 3: of that. For them to say, oh shit like that 1129 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 3: the last game, we didn't know it was our last game. 1130 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 3: We didn't take a moment to sit there and go, 1131 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 3: you know, kind of look around, be like, hey, it. 1132 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 2: Was a fun ride. I have empathy for all of that. 1133 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it was kind of it was 1134 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: a weird move, Like I understand emotional move in the moment. 1135 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: This is what they're standing on this where they're going. 1136 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 1: It probably came more likely from the administration their positioning 1137 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 1: of it. They're going to get torch for it for 1138 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: the rest of the time, especially knowing what we know 1139 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: with the MoU where they're they're in the they're in 1140 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: the spot that they want to be in from here 1141 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: on out, you know what I mean, Like, they're not 1142 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna they won't be in the spot again as long 1143 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: as they're in the Top twelve or however things get 1144 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: fixed within the process. 1145 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 3: And Clark being like, oh, you guys, you know not 1146 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:09,839 Speaker 3: this book was like, no, we love football here. 1147 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:11,320 Speaker 4: That's interesting. 1148 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 2: He's part of Big Conference. 1149 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 4: He's in on it. 1150 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 2: He's doing. 1151 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just reading off him. 1152 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 2: He had the text. No, yeah, it's it's tough. 1153 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: You know. I was telling the story yesterday when we 1154 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: were in the Big twelve championship, I believe in O 1155 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: nine and we lost that one second game to Texas 1156 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: when they kicked that field goal. They put the second 1157 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: back on the clock, they kicked the field goal. It 1158 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 1: was known that we were going to the Big ten, 1159 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: you know, after that next year or whatever. So everybody 1160 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 1: in their mind thought it was like Big twelve is 1161 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: against US. I still this day believe Big twelve was 1162 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 1: against US, but both we losed a Big twelve championship. 1163 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 1: It's US in Texas. Texas wins, they went by that 1164 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 1: game winning field goal. They go on to play in 1165 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: the National Championship against Alabama. Well, the delegation for the 1166 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,479 Speaker 1: Big twelve champion loser, like where we were positioning bowl 1167 00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 1: games mattered a lot. It was the Fiesta Bowl got 1168 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: a Big twelve team, the was it, the Cotton Bowl, 1169 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 1: the Alamobile. I believe we got delegated all the way 1170 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: down or relegated all the way down to the Holiday Bowl, 1171 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 1: which everybody yeah, San Diego, which everybody was pissed off 1172 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: because again we're in our heads, we're the number two 1173 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: Big twelve team. All these other bowl games that are 1174 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: slotted for Big twelve that we get to get chosen with, 1175 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 1: you know, the Nebraska fan base. So we were playing, 1176 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 1: we had in domicate Sue Heisman, we had like the 1177 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 1: number one scoring defense in the country, and we get 1178 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: pushed all the way down to the Holiday Bowl. Bo 1179 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 1: comes in the team room when all this got decided 1180 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 1: and asked everybody out right, do you guys even want 1181 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 1: to play in this fucking game? Like, I'll tell you 1182 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 1: right now, I'll burn the whole thing down if you 1183 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 1: guys want to. 1184 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 2: Guys stood up. 1185 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 1: We decided obviously to play the game whooped Arizona that year, 1186 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: But it was a conversation in that moment to give 1187 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: people an inside look at when you feel like you 1188 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,879 Speaker 1: just get wronged in a situation. In that moment of time, 1189 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 1: which I'm sure again Notre Dame, there was no explanation, 1190 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: no nothing. It's like, yeah, we've been sitting in the 1191 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 1: top ten the entire since the college football rings has 1192 00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: come out, and now all of a sudden, you're just 1193 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: throwing this in here at us, in our face. I'm 1194 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: sure they were all in the team room and everything else, 1195 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: very emotional, but yeah, I remember Bo comes into you 1196 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: guys weren't even playing this fucking game and saying like 1197 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: I will burn this place. Don't want too, probably about 1198 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes because it was emotional. We just, man, we 1199 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: felt like they put the second back on this when 1200 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: reviews like it wasn't like a reviewable play to go 1201 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 1: and put a second back on. They put it back on. 1202 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: They kicked the field, go and win. You felt like 1203 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,840 Speaker 1: you won the Big twelve championship. But it was like 1204 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,839 Speaker 1: a very emotional next week and then you know, bowl 1205 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 1: games get picked and everything else, and it was it 1206 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 1: was very tense, very tight, like everybody was pretty angry. 1207 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 1: How we felt like we got treated, getting pushed down 1208 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: to the Holiday Bowl back when bowl games were a 1209 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: big time thing. 1210 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 5: That was big time before people had opted out too. 1211 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 5: So you fast forward fifteen sixteen years. I could especially 1212 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 5: understand at Notre Dame now that it's normal to opt 1213 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 5: out of bowls. Don't take bowls seriously, You think you 1214 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 5: just got shafted out of a playoff spot. Yeah, me 1215 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 5: walking in the default mechanism is yeah, we're done. We're 1216 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 5: not participating in this. That's why I said. And a 1217 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:01,799 Speaker 5: million people ask me, what do you think about Notre 1218 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 5: Dame opting out of a bowl game? Well, I personally 1219 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 5: hate the concept, but I'm not going to rail against 1220 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 5: them and that, like I don't understand. 1221 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 4: It's the world we live. Yeah, Like I totally get 1222 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 4: where their mind is. 1223 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,879 Speaker 2: Do you think Jerremala Love is gonna play that game? 1224 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:14,320 Speaker 1: No? 1225 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 3: No shot, No, you're thinking about than that ultra that 1226 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,439 Speaker 3: Ultra then bragging rights. Uh, mikel Ultra Superior is worth 1227 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,280 Speaker 3: playing for and we're playing for a Michelobultra. We've started 1228 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 3: this row pay percisors and right now I'm leading the 1229 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 3: series eight to six. 1230 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,399 Speaker 2: At one point I was down two. This would be 1231 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 2: catastrophic for you if you lose this. 1232 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 1: One possibly rob scissors shoot. 1233 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 2: Superior is worth playing for nowadays? 1234 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 1: Seven down one? Yeah, down one down one. 1235 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 3: Back to the episode Heisman candidate, By the way, should 1236 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,720 Speaker 3: we talk about our heidsman? 1237 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 6: I have a quick question about will you tweeted about 1238 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,759 Speaker 6: it yesterday? And I don't know, Josh, if you can 1239 00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 6: give more insight about it, the whole Utah thing going 1240 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:00,879 Speaker 6: with that? 1241 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,640 Speaker 1: Oh? Well, I said, what could go wrong where it 1242 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: seems like Cana. 1243 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Utah bought a p or some private equity company 1244 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 3: bought a piece of Utahs that. 1245 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,879 Speaker 4: It's essentially, it's essentially. 1246 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 3: It's the Big ten correct. 1247 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 4: As as a whole, the Big ten as a whole. 1248 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is an individual athletic department basically taking an 1249 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,400 Speaker 5: effusion of private equity money. 1250 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 2: Over five hundred million. 1251 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's no small it's no small figure. It is 1252 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 5: it's you could see it coming from a long way away. 1253 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,399 Speaker 5: College football has been horrifically financially mismanaged for a long time. 1254 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,760 Speaker 5: It's no different than the federal government. It's just college 1255 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 5: football administrators who have been loosely spending money because it's 1256 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 5: not their money. When you're spending someone else's money, you 1257 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 5: don't really have proper incentive to be frugal with it. 1258 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,360 Speaker 5: And so a lot of different places have dug themselves 1259 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 5: in holes. And then all of a sudden, you have 1260 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 5: on this other set of rails over here congruent to 1261 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 5: your You've got the college football train at large, which 1262 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,319 Speaker 5: has been mismanaged, and now you didn't really have a 1263 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 5: plan when all of a sudden, you have to pay 1264 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 5: the players to pay the players, so you had this 1265 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 5: huge added operating expense that you can't afford. Because you 1266 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 5: never positioned yourself. You kept on spending every dime you made. 1267 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,400 Speaker 5: That's why all the facilities look like they do. That's 1268 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 5: why coaches make ten fifteen million dollars a year. The 1269 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 5: buyouts are huge because you couldn't afford to make the 1270 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 5: revenue and sit on it. Because if you were sitting 1271 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 5: on a mountain of money, it was going to be 1272 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 5: really bad optics because the public was going to look 1273 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 5: at it and say, wait a second, you're hoarding hundreds 1274 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 5: of millions of dollars while also saying you can't afford 1275 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,280 Speaker 5: to pay the players. So they kept spending the money 1276 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,440 Speaker 5: as it came in the door and spending on all 1277 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 5: sorts of ridiculous things. So now they're in a bind, 1278 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 5: not just Utah. Utah just happens to be the first 1279 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 5: one to do it, and they're looking into the future 1280 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 5: and they're looking at projections and saying, yeah, we're just 1281 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,280 Speaker 5: headed even more in the red. We need help. Private 1282 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 5: equity comes in and they help. Now, most college football 1283 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 5: fans won't be affected by this. They'll see low goes 1284 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,240 Speaker 5: on the jerseys, they'll see a branding on the fields, 1285 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:07,360 Speaker 5: and that's whatever. The real question I have becomes, who's 1286 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,919 Speaker 5: making decisions for Utah Athletics now or if it comes 1287 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,840 Speaker 5: time to fire a coach and hire a new coach, 1288 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,839 Speaker 5: Who's making the call on firing coach and hiring the coach. 1289 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 5: Because we're really in the interest of what's best for business, 1290 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 5: right and if it's just your business, that's your business. 1291 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,360 Speaker 5: But all of a sudden, if someone's bought a stake 1292 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 5: in Utah football or Utah Athletics. They want to return 1293 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 5: on their investment. And they want to say because they're 1294 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 5: paying for a seat at the table, which. 1295 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 1: Is what essentially is happening with Utah because where we're at, 1296 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,359 Speaker 1: it's like, say, you have this five hundred million dollars 1297 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,399 Speaker 1: in a private equity, Like you have all this money, 1298 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,239 Speaker 1: you want to back it, Like we've been seeing, whether 1299 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 1: it's Cody Campbell down at Texas Tech, whatever it is. 1300 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 1: The thought was, we'll donate to the nil collective, like 1301 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: make a donation. They got a lot of money backing them. 1302 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,320 Speaker 1: What's happened at Utah is they've stood up another LLC 1303 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: to where now this five hundred million this private equity 1304 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,439 Speaker 1: company has bought like a minority stake in the team, 1305 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 1: to where they will be decision makers for making money. 1306 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: Are they going to be involved with making these big 1307 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: decisions now we'll never see there's like a new Yeah, 1308 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,959 Speaker 1: there's like a new master who's now at the seat 1309 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: of the table with all this money coming in. 1310 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 2: They now own a part of Utah Athletics. 1311 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 1: They're not like donating like, hey, our group wants to 1312 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,320 Speaker 1: make our football team better. Here's a shitload of money. 1313 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: Now they are minority owners, like in Utah football, say. 1314 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 2: I'm just getting that small breakdown. It feels like there's 1315 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:28,760 Speaker 2: no good outcome. 1316 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 1: You saw Dillingham yesterday, he was doing I saw him 1317 00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,320 Speaker 1: in an interview and they're kind of asking about it. 1318 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,920 Speaker 1: He's like, dude, it's a messman. As far as financials, 1319 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,440 Speaker 1: as far as money, entertainment, the media that is booming, 1320 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,880 Speaker 1: it's going to continue to boom, like very popular. But 1321 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,720 Speaker 1: as far as all the structures and processes in college football, 1322 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: he's like, it's an absolute messman. So I He's like, 1323 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,759 Speaker 1: we'll handle it the way we handle each new thing 1324 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 1: that comes in. 1325 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 2: He's like, but it's a mess man. 1326 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 3: If you're looking at like a Utah and ASU, these 1327 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 3: these brands of college football that their logo doesn't have 1328 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 3: like a bunch of people that have left made a 1329 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 3: billion dollars or doing a lot of money an il 1330 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:04,319 Speaker 3: to be competitive. 1331 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 2: What are the choices they have than to take on 1332 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 2: a private equity career. 1333 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 5: Oh, I'll tell you you need to collectively bargain with 1334 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 5: the athletes. 1335 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 4: Athletes dot org. 1336 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 5: I mean, I sound like a spokesperson right now. But 1337 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 5: it just so happens that as we're recording, it's Tuesday, right, 1338 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:18,760 Speaker 5: it's Wednesday. 1339 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,320 Speaker 4: Two days ago, two days ago out in Las Vegas. 1340 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 2: They go ahead, ground. I just wanted to know he's 1341 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,200 Speaker 2: going to make a move. As soon as you open 1342 00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:29,440 Speaker 2: it up. I started to get flashed back. 1343 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,439 Speaker 5: I just look at it. I just follow your eyes 1344 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 5: and just go down there. Man, he's looking at this 1345 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 5: crotch again. That must be you know, but God, players 1346 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,080 Speaker 5: dot Org, You've got to make yourself financially viable in 1347 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,359 Speaker 5: the future. Right now such a train wreck because people 1348 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 5: are trying to figure every which way around collectively bargaining 1349 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 5: with athletes. I'm not taking a stance on this. I'm 1350 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 5: kind of old school in it myself. I'm just saying, 1351 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 5: you've tried the congressional approach over and over again. Just 1352 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 5: last week, the Score Act fell in its face in 1353 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,839 Speaker 5: Congress again, and that is basically to dumb that down, 1354 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,800 Speaker 5: where just normal people understand what's happening here. They really 1355 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,359 Speaker 5: want a way for Congress to step in to make 1356 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,719 Speaker 5: laws that say, all right, college football, you're free to 1357 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 5: govern yourself. 1358 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:12,839 Speaker 1: Now. 1359 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 5: You can limit transfer, portal movement, you can limit what 1360 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 5: nil is you can do all of that because we're 1361 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,759 Speaker 5: giving you the power. Legally, well, that keeps falling on 1362 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 5: its face, so that's never going to pass the legal 1363 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,799 Speaker 5: barometer that it needs to to be signed into law. 1364 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:28,839 Speaker 4: At least that looked that way. 1365 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:33,280 Speaker 5: The other option is to collectively bargain with the players 1366 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 5: and to centralize that. Take it out of the hands 1367 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 5: of the teams and the leagues and centralize it. This 1368 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 5: is very very clearly gaining traction. Athletic directors are on 1369 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,799 Speaker 5: board with it, University presidents are on board with it. 1370 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 5: Some of the most influential voices within those two realms 1371 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 5: are on board with it. And I really think over 1372 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 5: the next six to twelve months, you're going to see 1373 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 5: traction on this and then where I'm interested because that 1374 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,959 Speaker 5: stuff is boring. What I'm interested in down the road 1375 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 5: is do we ever get to a place where that 1376 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 5: same principle is applied to media deals. None of the 1377 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 5: networks really want that, none of the leagues really want that, 1378 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 5: but collectively it would make everyone a lot more money. 1379 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 5: If college football's media rights structure reflected that of the NFL. 1380 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 5: There is no AFC East TV package. There is just 1381 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 5: the NFL, the AFC, and the NFC. But underneath the 1382 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 5: NFL's umbrella, that is a media rights deal that is 1383 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 5: sold by the NFL, and NBC's got a piece, and 1384 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 5: Fox has got a piece, and CBS has got a piece, 1385 00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 5: and the league kind of dictates. 1386 00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 1: Here's the players got a piece. 1387 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 5: Yes, that I think is the direction we're headed in 1388 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 5: college football. It's just we're like a pinball going through 1389 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 5: the machine right now to get there. It's not just 1390 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 5: let's flow down the river out into the ocean. It's 1391 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 5: we're a pinball and we're going all over the place. 1392 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 3: So if that takes place, then that happens, and there's 1393 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 3: a CBA for college football and it becomes just like, oh, 1394 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 3: this is a big umbrella company. What happens is private 1395 00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 3: equity companies that have bought pieces. 1396 00:57:58,440 --> 00:57:58,920 Speaker 4: I don't know. 1397 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm not smart enough in that world 1398 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 5: to know. I just know that we need that's what 1399 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 5: we need. 1400 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,720 Speaker 1: We need your life that kept from the Live Show Man. 1401 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 2: Your dad and I was, I was like. 1402 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 4: Nervous each other's legs. You want to take this on? 1403 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,960 Speaker 1: Nope, I'll tell you what, man, I I like. I 1404 00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 1: love that the players are getting paid. But I also 1405 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: we're in such a d we're in such dangerous territory, 1406 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 1: like even for the athletes too, with all this money 1407 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 1: that comes in and everything else happened, and just man, 1408 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,919 Speaker 1: when when we were in high school, the whole thought 1409 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 1: process was, I'm just saying, like, think about the commitment, 1410 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 1: the dedication and work ethic everything just to get the 1411 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 1: opportunity to get a scholarship on thinking that you're that's 1412 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,400 Speaker 1: the way out to get to the NFL and all 1413 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 1: of the foundational values and cultural things that you have 1414 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 1: to establish as a high schooler. But you're very raw 1415 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 1: as a high schooler learning all of these values, learning 1416 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 1: all of these traits and characteristic and then they get 1417 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 1: molded and developed and hardened in college to where whenever 1418 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 1: those first big paychecks come in in the NFL, it 1419 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,960 Speaker 1: can get guys off the tracks. Like obviously you see 1420 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 1: guys fall off, but at least you're equipped. I know 1421 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: when the money started coming in For myself, It's like 1422 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 1: a lot of guys know in their head they have 1423 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,960 Speaker 1: to stay very principled in their approach and commitment all 1424 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: year round to keep getting and keep getting it, tapping 1425 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,040 Speaker 1: into this well and keep getting paid and the life 1426 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,640 Speaker 1: and all the bells and whistles that come with it. 1427 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 1: Now it's like all that's just getting chopped when all 1428 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,040 Speaker 1: this money sinking into these seventeen eighteen year old kids 1429 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,520 Speaker 1: when they're gone, because now it's not even about this 1430 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 1: work ethic, the sickening, gritty approach when you're in high school. 1431 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 1: It's about picking up your phone, looking at how many 1432 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 1: likes you have on Instagram, looking at what deals your 1433 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,400 Speaker 1: agent might begin to you. Because now you have an 1434 00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 1: agent who's telling you all these things, you might not 1435 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 1: have to worry about certain principal things that you're established in, 1436 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: whether there's workout routines and everything else, because it's like, 1437 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,080 Speaker 1: who's going to pay me the most money? Like it 1438 00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,040 Speaker 1: used to be, you owe the process everything, and the 1439 01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: process owes you nothing in return. Now these kids are 1440 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 1: getting paid for a process they haven't even established going 1441 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,360 Speaker 1: into college football, and it's just I hate it for 1442 01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 1: the athletes because the development that happens that isn't going 1443 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 1: to be taken serious as much near as much anymore 1444 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 1: at the college level is what bothers me about the 1445 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,919 Speaker 1: whole thing. Because I do enjoy that they're getting paid. 1446 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 1: It's what we wanted. But there's all this how it's 1447 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:25,760 Speaker 1: getting pushed all the way down. Now we're talking about 1448 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,040 Speaker 1: college is going to be looking like the NFL. That's 1449 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,160 Speaker 1: a big fix because we need all this regulation to 1450 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:31,919 Speaker 1: come in and help everybody out with all the money 1451 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,600 Speaker 1: floating around everywhere. But in doing that, it just the 1452 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,040 Speaker 1: way it massages the mentality of these college kids. Now 1453 01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 1: at the high school level, I'm like, fuck. 1454 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,919 Speaker 5: But in your CBA, let's say it structured properly. Because 1455 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 5: I had long conversations about this last week, because I 1456 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,959 Speaker 5: have those concerns as well. Most people who love college 1457 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,840 Speaker 5: football have those concerns. You worry about the detriment of 1458 01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 5: the product when sixteen and seventeen year old kids already 1459 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 5: bank high six low seven figures coming in like it 1460 01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:01,280 Speaker 5: adversely affects the compass, the north star of motivation, of process, 1461 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 5: oriented of drive of everything. All right, So think about this, 1462 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 5: all right, if we have a CBA in college, your 1463 01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,440 Speaker 5: player reps are probably not going to be freshmen. They're 1464 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,440 Speaker 5: going to be upperclassmen. Those upper classmen are in the 1465 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 5: position to be a player rep, probably because they've proven 1466 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 5: themselves and paid the price. If you have a CBA 1467 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 5: in college football, I think you have a payscale that's 1468 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 5: very much correlated to like a rookie pay scale versus 1469 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,080 Speaker 5: a second contract third contract in the NFL. Not apples 1470 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 5: to apples, but very similar to where if I'm a 1471 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 5: seventeen year old kid, If we have a CBA, that 1472 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 5: also means that we enter into a world where there 1473 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 5: are enforceable laws within IL, which means it's not just 1474 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 5: wild West pay for play anymore, like, yeah, you're gonna 1475 01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 5: make money and it's been collectively bargained. But you know, 1476 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,240 Speaker 5: if you're a freshman committing to Nebraska, you're not making 1477 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 5: nearly as much as you're gonna make if you succeed 1478 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 5: and you play, and then you're still a sophomore on 1479 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 5: that roster, and then you're a junior, and then there's 1480 01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,959 Speaker 5: this huge bonus that kicks in third and fourth years 1481 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,040 Speaker 5: on the same roster because you prove yourself and you're 1482 01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 5: under a collectively bargained umbrella where you know the big 1483 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 5: payoff is down the road, where you have all the 1484 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 5: incentive in the world to keep chasing instead of already 1485 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,360 Speaker 5: having a gigantic bag in your lap.

There's only a 1512 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,640 Speaker 3: certain amount of money you can spend. Each team can 1513 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,040 Speaker 3: spend on their players. And I love the idea of 1514 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 3: like you have freshmans like a rookie, and the more 1515 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 3: you work and the better you do and the more 1516 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:20,240 Speaker 3: accolades you have, the. 1517 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:21,080 Speaker 2: More you'll get paid. 1518 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,840 Speaker 3: Because it's just on a way simpler level from being 1519 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 3: able to play in the NFL and go to the 1520 01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,600 Speaker 3: lunch room and sit there in the morning and Georgia 1521 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 3: and Alabama had to play, and I have five Georgia 1522 01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,640 Speaker 3: teammates and three Alabama teammates and they're in their lunchroom 1523 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,040 Speaker 3: arguing about their team. They're loved there for their team. 1524 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 3: I don't see that in the next four or five 1525 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,400 Speaker 3: years if it continues the same way, staying that way 1526 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 3: in that lunch room where it's like kids have like 1527 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 3: absolute pride and where they played at and they're like 1528 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 3: like Nebraska, like no one's. 1529 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 2: Gonna have that anymore. 1530 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 3: And that's where like, that's where college football I think 1531 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 3: is at its best because in a unique way, like 1532 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 3: when people gamble, it's like they're only going to want 1533 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 3: a gamble on their team for the most part because 1534 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 3: they're so invested in love with that team. 1535 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:07,120 Speaker 4: When you played for the Tennessee Titans, who is your employer. 1536 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:08,680 Speaker 2: The Titans? 1537 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,840 Speaker 4: Was the NFL your employer or was it the Titans 1538 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 4: your employer? 1539 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:13,800 Speaker 2: The Titans were my employer. 1540 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 5: So in this world, I don't think that's the way 1541 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 5: it'll be structured. I don't think you'll be employed by 1542 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,680 Speaker 5: ole miss or the SEC. 1543 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 4: I think you'll be employed. 1544 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 5: By filling the blank name of whatever entity they form. 1545 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 5: And that is where the authority will be. But that's 1546 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,320 Speaker 5: also where the risk will be. That's where the finances 1547 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 5: are handled. That's where private equity goes. By the way, 1548 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,400 Speaker 5: in case you're wondering, like to answer your question, instead 1549 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:43,040 Speaker 5: of trying to glom onto an individual athletic department, private 1550 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 5: equity will go to whatever that entity is, and that's 1551 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,479 Speaker 5: where that cash infusion will happen and they'll be able 1552 01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 5: to afford the operating costs. And at that point, University 1553 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 5: of Georgia, University of Nebraska, University of Arizona, you guys 1554 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,200 Speaker 5: are good. We're handling it. But here are the rules 1555 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 5: you're going to abide by, and here's the amount of 1556 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,120 Speaker 5: money you can afford. To pay your players handle your 1557 01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 5: salary cap accordingly. By the way, this doesn't get rid 1558 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 5: of nil, It just repurposes nil for what it was 1559 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,680 Speaker 5: supposed to be, which is the same way it is 1560 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 5: in the NFL, which is Pat Mahomes as a superstar. 1561 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 5: So he goes out and gets all the endorsement deals 1562 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,919 Speaker 5: he wants. What's not happening is some guy who got 1563 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 5: rich beyond his wildest dreams, who happens to be a 1564 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,720 Speaker 5: Kansas City Chiefs fan went to Pat Mahomes and free 1565 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,000 Speaker 5: agency and said, I'm going to pay you thirty million 1566 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:26,960 Speaker 5: dollars to come and play for us, because that's a 1567 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 5: competitive disadvantage, whether you think is fair or not or 1568 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 5: should be. Well, if you live in the world of 1569 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:33,960 Speaker 5: the NFL, you're going to operate by their rules. And 1570 01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 5: if you live in this world in the future, if 1571 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,840 Speaker 5: it's collectively bargained that means laws can be enforced, nil 1572 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,360 Speaker 5: is not going to be what it is right now. 1573 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 5: So guys will still make nil money, but it'll be 1574 01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 5: guys who legit deserve to make nil money, and most 1575 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,280 Speaker 5: guys will make their money based off of, for lack 1576 01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,600 Speaker 5: of a better term, their salary. I think we're very, 1577 01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 5: very much closer to that than people realize. 1578 01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:56,640 Speaker 2: It would mean there's a lot. 1579 01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 5: Of movement happening on that front this week as we speak, 1580 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:01,120 Speaker 5: there's a lot of movement happening. 1581 01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 2: Need the urgency, Need the urgency. 1582 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, but like I know that you're there's a lot 1583 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 3: of things that we want to fix.

They get the easiest first 1637 01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 5: round matchup at home. They then get teed up to 1638 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 5: go play Texas Tech, which out of the other three 1639 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 5: teams in the semi final or in the quarterfinal. From 1640 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 5: a roster standpoint, they match up the best against probably, 1641 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 5: but look at the way it advances. Think about talent rosters, 1642 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:39,479 Speaker 5: Think about who athletically could match Oregon. The three that 1643 01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,200 Speaker 5: I would circle the most are on the other side 1644 01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,760 Speaker 5: of the bracket, Miami A and m Georgia, Ohio State 1645 01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 5: four of them. Four of them are on the other 1646 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 5: side of the bracket, and the soonest you would meet 1647 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 5: them as in the national title game. The most you'll 1648 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 5: have to defeat is one of them in the national 1649 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,960 Speaker 5: title game, Oregon. I hope they don't embarrass me because 1650 01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 5: I'm sky high on Oregon. 1651 01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,560 Speaker 2: I am too and potential reimagine. 1652 01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,560 Speaker 3: I know it's like we said hard to beat a 1653 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,560 Speaker 3: team twice when we saw in the SEC championship. 1654 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 4: But let's just be real. 1655 01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:13,120 Speaker 5: You already know what Kurt Signetti said about Dan Lanning 1656 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 5: and his family the first time around.

Yeah, Notre 1705 01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 5: Dame would have been such a better replacement in no doubt. 1706 01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 3: Well before we do two classic game of the week Heisman, 1707 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:47,000 Speaker 3: who's your heisman right now? 1708 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 1: At thefore? 1709 01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 3: That's it there, futures clump.

Who? 1714 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,800 Speaker 5: Actually I deserve half a win for this he led 1715 01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:08,759 Speaker 5: he did to his thumb got cut off. He's playing 1716 01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,839 Speaker 5: with four fingers and he's still in the playoff. Imagine 1717 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:12,800 Speaker 5: what he could have done with five. 1718 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,800 Speaker 3: Imagine a couple of weeks off getting healthy, that thumb 1719 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 3: finally gets bigger. 1720 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 4: Nexterity exercises, getting healthy. 1721 01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:21,639 Speaker 2: Who do you have the hesman in your mind? 1722 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,080 Speaker 4: Diego? What do the odds say? 1723 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:25,479 Speaker 1: Actually? 1724 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:28,759 Speaker 4: Because was it Mendoza? 1725 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 2: I just minus three? It doesn't make any sense, makes 1726 01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:34,360 Speaker 2: zero sense. 1727 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 5: The game that catapulted him was a thirteen to ten game. Yeah, 1728 01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:41,600 Speaker 5: it's not like you rain touchdowns all over the place. Now, 1729 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,640 Speaker 5: one touchdown. He took one of the hardest hits of 1730 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,120 Speaker 5: the season, got right back up and cut one of 1731 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,320 Speaker 5: the great postgame promos in the modern era. 1732 01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 4: But that, guys, are that will grant you that. 1733 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,120 Speaker 1: Presssion. 1734 01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,760 Speaker 3: He had a You starting to sound like the playoff committee. Yeah, 1735 01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,840 Speaker 3: he had a great third down conversion. I'm sure Diego 1736 01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 3: had as well. No, No, I know you, I know 1737 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,479 Speaker 3: where you stand on who the heisman should be. But 1738 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:10,520 Speaker 3: I think it's so clearly Diego Pavia. And when I 1739 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,360 Speaker 3: tweet that and everyone's coming at my head, how Fernanda 1740 01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,639 Speaker 3: Mendoza and then Jacob Rodriguez, he just gets it thrown 1741 01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:16,640 Speaker 3: in and I'm like, yeah, I kind of wish he 1742 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:17,920 Speaker 3: was going to New York, but he's not gonna win. 1743 01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:18,040 Speaker 1: Ye. 1744 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,160 Speaker 3: It's like the only two people that you would argue 1745 01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 3: is Foranana Mendoza and Diego Pavia. People want to say 1746 01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 3: Julian same, but I think there's enough holes there with 1747 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 3: who he was throwing to. You know that that whole thing. 1748 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 3: But Diego Pavia stats are his throwing sets are better 1749 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,160 Speaker 3: than Banana Mendoza. And also you have to add on 1750 01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,559 Speaker 3: almost nine hundred yards of rushing and nine more touchdowns. 1751 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:43,559 Speaker 3: Like if you're a value saying, who is the best 1752 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:47,000 Speaker 3: player in college football? And who does who does more 1753 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:48,800 Speaker 3: for their team? 1754 01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:50,960 Speaker 2: Diego does not keep it high and tight? 1755 01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:56,639 Speaker 3: Who does more for their team than anybody Else's Diego Pavia's. 1756 01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I need I need that speech. 1757 01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 1: Through the air, Fernando has more turn Fernando has more 1758 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns through the air. 1759 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:11,240 Speaker 2: Correct, like I think he was, Like Fernanda Mendoza doesn't 1760 01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:15,679 Speaker 2: have three thousand yards throwing because more touchdowns five? 1761 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 1: Actually game, Diego has more passing yards. Who's the last 1762 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:21,960 Speaker 1: high who's the last quarterback to win a Heisman? They 1763 01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: didn't throw for three thousand Dude. 1764 01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 2: He's a mic? 1765 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:26,719 Speaker 1: Dude? 1766 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:27,639 Speaker 2: What he's a mic? 1767 01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:30,519 Speaker 1: Oh? It is Cam. Cam Newton was the last quarterback 1768 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 1: to win a Heisman without throwing for three thousand yards 1769 01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,080 Speaker 1: and the only reason was because he ran for fourteen 1770 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:36,640 Speaker 1: hundred yards and twenty touchdowns. 1771 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,960 Speaker 5: Well that in Auburn picked up guys from the playground 1772 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 5: to be wide receivers for him that year. Yeah, so 1773 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 5: Cam a little bit different, A little bit there, just 1774 01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:44,680 Speaker 5: a little bit. 1775 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, people want to hate all this, you know. I 1776 01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:47,880 Speaker 2: think it's Diego Pavi too. 1777 01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,080 Speaker 1: I look Diego Pavi in the eyes last week and 1778 01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:51,559 Speaker 1: I say, he's like, what do you think? I was like, 1779 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,799 Speaker 1: I think it's yours right now. But for Nanda Mendoza 1780 01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,639 Speaker 1: goes out there and throws for like two seventy five 1781 01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 1: or three hundred and a couple of touchdowns. Probably he 1782 01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 1: probably needs two touchdowns at least. I could see where Fernando, 1783 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,960 Speaker 1: where the public gets on Fernando. But that didn't happen, 1784 01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:05,800 Speaker 1: So I was I feel like I would be lying. 1785 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,720 Speaker 1: I would have lied to Diego if Bernando Mendoza wins 1786 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,559 Speaker 1: this Heisman, and it was the Ohio State game where 1787 01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,720 Speaker 1: he hit him for one touchdown, one interception, and then 1788 01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,720 Speaker 1: a nice third downplay. But Banda mendo is a great 1789 01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:20,839 Speaker 1: player though, keep said, I and I do in joy. 1790 01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,920 Speaker 1: I love every every interview he does. Need him on 1791 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 1: the bus. 1792 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:24,760 Speaker 4: Raise your hand. 1793 01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 5: If you have a Heisman vote, we can't be trusted 1794 01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:31,160 Speaker 5: with your Yeah, we can't be trusted to have a 1795 01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 5: Heisman vote. 1796 01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,679 Speaker 2: Do you people not have it?
