1
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: We got games happening very very soon, which means we

2
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: get to test theories. Do you remember the cattle prod theory?

3
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: For those of you who have been around here a

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: little while, you may remember the cattle prod theory just

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: one of many theories that we teach he at Pete

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: State University. If you're new around here and judging by

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: the numbers several of you are, Oh, it's a great

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: time of year. There's a whole lot of stuff that

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: you've probably never heard before, maybe you've never even thought

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: before about our great sport that I feel it my

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: duty to introduce you to. We're jam packed, We're hy atape,

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: still pretty sunny, downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Thursday night at August

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: twenty first, The over Lord twenty twenty five. Well, I'll

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: give the SEC credit. They did it. They went to

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: nine league games per year. At least next year they will.

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: And they did it before the season starts art. We

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: always appreciate getting the non football stuff out of the

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: way before the football starts. So to Greg Sanki, we

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: bow national Championship picks on the show tonight. We've messed

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: around long enough. As I told you last week. I

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: can't have Iowa State play a game and then make

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: my national championship pick, because then it wouldn't be fair

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: if they go on to win the national championship. And

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: I think we all understand there's at least a fifty

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: to fifty shot any given year Iowa State wins at all.

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: I got Camp Intel, well, Camp Intel winding down, it's

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: just about time to play games. But I've got that.

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Of course, We've got Iowa State Kansas State as a

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: prediction on the show tonight. You may or may not

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: have heard today that there were some rumblings about your

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: boy here signing with ESPN. That happened, that's true. What

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: does that mean for the show? What does it mean? Well,

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: obviously not a whole heck of a lot, because I'm

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: looking around and it still looks the same. But I

35
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: will discuss later in the show what that means. We

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: have got a jam packed show, and I am told

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: that in the way of big announcements Jesse and Bradley,

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: we'll probably have one before this show ends tonight. And

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: for those of you watching live, especially those in need

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: of new te's and new hats and whatnot, could come

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: in handy Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Tuned in Jacksonville, Alabama, Reno, Nevada,

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: spring Hill, Tennessee. Hey, I want to tell you as

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: as actually Will Compton text me as we go on air,

44
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: do we think that's class? Listen though, that's not class.

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: Let's that's what friends do. I want to tell you

46
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: we got a ton, I mean a ton of great

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: feedback on the appearance I did with Will and Taylor

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: over on Busting with the Boys last Monday, and that

49
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: thing's still out. It's still evergreen as can be. Evergreen

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: is an industry term for still relevant today as it

51
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: was when it aired. I would encourage you to go

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: listen to that. That's a much different format than we've

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: done on our show. I went way more in depth

54
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: on some stuff that frankly, people have asked me for

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: a long time to talk about, but there's just never

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: really been room on this show to talk about it.

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: We talked about it there. So that's on that episode

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: from last Monday. You'll also find on the bust In

59
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: with the Boys channel that starting last Wednesday, we did

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: our weekly episode of the Locker Room. That'll be on

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: their channel every single Wednesday, and it's a lot of fun,

62
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, different dynamic than you find on

63
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: this channel. So it's a lot of fun. All right,

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: let's dive in. I did not know that we would

65
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: be leading with this, but here we go. The SEC

66
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Big News Thursday. Right, you've heard of Big Noon Saturday,

67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: will Big News Thursday emanated from the SEC. And if

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: you're just getting off work, if you're you know, tucking

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: the kids to bed pretty early bedtime even on the

70
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: East Coast, but whatever you do, you and I want

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: to tell you how to raise your kids if you've

72
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: been busy. Though, the SEC kind of dropped a bombshell

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: on us today. They're going to a nine game conference

74
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: schedule starting in twenty twenty six. Now, this is worth

75
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: the paper pop. I would think I'm gonna have a

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: lot of paper pops this season, but this is two

77
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: paper pops. Here's the way it's gonna work. Obviously, they're

78
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna play one more conference game per team than they

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: have been. They've been on eight since like nineteen ninety two.

80
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: That's not a joke. They've really been on eight since

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. Ross Dellinger, friend of the program always

82
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: but now colleague of the program, you see on the

83
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: screen here. He among many released it kind of at

84
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: the same time cause of the league released it today. Anyway,

85
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: here's what it means like if you're Georgia, you're gonna

86
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: have your three permanent rivals for Georgia, that would be Florida, Tennessee,

87
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: and Auburn. I would guess that's pretty simple. Then they

88
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: would have six rotational teams that they play each year.

89
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: That six plus three stats and thenfotels me equals nine.

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: Still no divisions, They're not going back to divisions, So

91
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: top two teams go to the SEC championship game, same

92
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: way it is now. They'll just be playing one more

93
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: conference game per team per season. Now the math works

94
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: out like this, you will face every team in the

95
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: conference at least once every two years. Tennessee will play

96
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: Texas A and M at least once over a rolling

97
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: two year period. Tennessee will go to College Station at

98
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: least once over a rolling four year period, just like

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: A and M will go to Nieland Stadium at least

100
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: once every rolling four year period. This has been a

101
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: disaster in the SEC scheduling model. Georgia still has not

102
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: been to College Station, Texas to play a football game.

103
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: The Aggies have been in the league since twenty twelve.

104
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: You have got kids who were born that year who

105
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: are not far away from getting their learners' licenses that

106
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: have still yet to see themselves drive. But they're there almost,

107
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: and they have yet to see Kirby Smart go into

108
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Field, at least as a head coach. He went

109
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: there as a coordinator with Alabama. So that's good. Also,

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the SEC said, oh bo wait, we're not done yet.

111
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: And this this was the most interesting part. They're still

112
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: going to require their teams in the SEC to play

113
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: one powerful out of conference game. Now, let's you know what,

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save it. I'm gonna that's a more shrewd

115
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: move than you think it is. It's good for strength

116
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: of schedule, it's good for quality of competition, good for

117
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the old season ticket holder. There's there's more to that

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: than meets the eye. So this was coming, as we

119
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: told you on this show many times. At least I

120
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: thought it was coming. The moment that strength of schedule

121
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: metrics changed, the playoff selection process changed, and that happened

122
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: this week too. In fact, it feels like about forty

123
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: eight more than seventy two hours ago, news came down

124
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: that the College Football Playoff Committee was changing its selection process.

125
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: This wasn't a surprise. We were pretty sure this was coming.

126
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: And to not bore you with the details, what they're

127
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: going to do is they're changing the way they define

128
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: strength of records strength of schedule. In other words, if

129
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm ten and two and you're nine to three, but

130
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: you played a much tougher strength of schedule than me,

131
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: you're going to get more benefit of the doubt. I'm

132
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: going to get less benefit of the doubt. That's always

133
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: the way it should have worked. I've been an ambassador

134
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: of that. I've been a supporter of that. The SEC

135
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: looked at it and said, everyone's calling for us to

136
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: go to nine conference games per year, but we already

137
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: think we play in the best and deepest conference in America.

138
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: We're not going to make a move to acquiesce you

139
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten or anyone else. That's cry and

140
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: foul on us until we know that we're not hamstringing

141
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: ourselves from a playoff selection process. Well, playoff selection process changed.

142
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Don't know the specifics yet. More on that in a second,

143
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: but it changed, and so then the SEC changed. This

144
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: was not you do this, I do that, though there

145
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: was a lot more to it than that, but that

146
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: was the trigger mechanism that I thought needed to get

147
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: out of the way for the SEC to do this.

148
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: So they've done it now. I listened to a lot

149
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: of people call for this for a long time, and

150
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I've said before and I'll maintain, none of you would

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 1: have moved to nine league games if you ran the SEC,

152
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: if you were in their position, you would have had

153
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: the exact same stance that they've had. So I don't

154
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: really have much time to listen to criticism, whether you

155
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: be a head coach in the Big ten or you'd

156
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: be a fan in the pack. We'll rest him, old girl,

157
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: rest in peace, PAC ten, PAC twelve. But you get

158
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: my point. There a lot of you hate the SEC,

159
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: and that's fine, that's your constitutional right. And so they

160
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: breathe and you got a problem with how deep the

161
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: breath was. That's fine again, that's you're right. You wouldn't

162
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: have done anything different than they've been doing. But now

163
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: they've made the move. So I was listening to Greg

164
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: Sanki earlier today. I believe he was on the Paul

165
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: feinnbomb show, and he said something and I don't want

166
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: to gloss over this. A lot of things are gonna

167
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: get lost in the weeds here. I don't want to

168
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: gloss over this. This is an important statement he made.

169
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: He said, we still need full clarity on the selection process.

170
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: That's very important. And what he's saying there is, yeah,

171
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: we've seen the words on a piece of paper, but

172
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: we really want to see when it comes time to

173
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: choose SMU or Alabama SMU, or South Carolina SMU or

174
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: Old miss how is the future going to play out

175
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: any different than the past has. Now Again, I'm not

176
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: asking you what your opinion was on what SMU should

177
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: have gotten in or Alabama should have gotten in. Whatever

178
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: your opinion is, you may share mine. I thought the

179
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: right teams got in last year, but some people don't

180
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: agree with that. And Greg Sink's down there representing a

181
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: conference and he's just speaking for athletic directors basically in

182
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: coaches and university presidents or who he answers to. So

183
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: he's trying to get the best deal for his league.

184
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: But he's talking like they don't really fully know how

185
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: the tumbler is going to fall into place, and he's right,

186
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: because they don't. That's another intentional pause. There's a lot

187
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: of thought out there that all the SEC got its way. Again, well,

188
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: the SEC kind of got the direction it wanted to

189
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: move the ball down down the hill towards. But they

190
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: don't know either. So it's important to remember, this nine

191
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: game league conference or this nine game conference schedule move

192
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: is next year, so they got one more year of

193
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: playing eight to see how the playoff committee handles things.

194
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: So let's say this year plays out exactly last year.

195
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Did every game goes the same way somehow, some way?

196
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: And you've got yet again nine and three Alabama, nine

197
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: and three South Carolina, whoever it may be, versus maybe

198
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: a two loss team from another conference, and the SEC

199
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: feels like their team's profiles or profile surpasses that of

200
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: the team with the better record in the win loss category.

201
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: They're saying, we want to see how that committee handles that.

202
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: We think we know, but we want to see. So

203
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: that's important. Now, how do I feel about this? Many

204
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: of you asked, Well, I don't quite know yet. You

205
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: know that first and foremost I care about the regular season.

206
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: So one of the a's answers is obvious SEC moves

207
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: to nine conference games per year per team. Does that

208
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: enhance the regular season? That's a no brainer. Yes, it does.

209
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: So on that hand, In my first and foremost hand,

210
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: it's a win, unequivocal win. The more I get to

211
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: see Auburn versus Florida, the better used to be an

212
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: annual game. By the way, tell your kids about it

213
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: and tell the kids to look it up. So the

214
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: more I get to see that, the better fans' voices

215
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: were heard here. Brandon Marcelo just put out several tweets.

216
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: He fired off a little while ago after speaking to sources,

217
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: and he said, Hey, the fans belly aching, no, not

218
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: belly aching, making legitimate complaints about their season ticket prices

219
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: going up, but the inventory of games staying the same.

220
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: It mattered. So good for you guys. You needed to

221
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: be heard. You should have been heard. You're getting jacked

222
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: in the pocketbook, and they're serving up a home team

223
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: favored by forty and a half on Saturday, and you

224
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: can't sell your tickets. By the way, a lot of

225
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: you tried to do that, and then they monitor that

226
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: it's garbage. So this is good, This is good for

227
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: the fan. Initially, it's good. Well, it's gonna be good

228
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: for the fan regardless as a season ticket holder. It's

229
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: going to be good TV product, so the viewer wins.

230
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: So on those fronts we win. I am wondering about

231
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: the future here. First thing I'm wondering. Doesn't the Big

232
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: ten have to counter? Don't the Big ten have to

233
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: look at this and say, man, we screamed at the

234
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: SEC to go to nine league games just like us.

235
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Not only did they go to nine league games, they

236
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: went to nine league games and also told all of

237
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: their member institutions and you better schedule one Power four

238
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: out of conference team per year. Hey, we don't even

239
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: do that. So we called them and it's almost like

240
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: it's almost like they batted that tether ball so hard

241
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: it came back in our face. So what happens if

242
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: the Big Ten this year gets a team in an

243
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: ab comparative scenario with an SEC team and the committee

244
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: looks and you know, it goes the way of the SEC.

245
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: Or or we get to twenty twenty six and an

246
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: SEC team because they've loaded up their schedule at nine

247
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: and three, gets in over a ten to two Big ten.

248
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't the Big ten have to answer this proactively. They should.

249
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: They should, you know, for the same reasons you told

250
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: the SEC to do it. If the Big Ten believes

251
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: in good quality, inventory, quality of competition, the betterment of

252
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: the game overall, the Big Ten ought to mandate at

253
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: least one Power four out of conference opponent per year

254
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: as well. Why not don't we want uniformity in scheduling,

255
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: someone asks Kurt Kurt Signetti online too, don't we want uniformity?

256
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: You're going to reverse all the out of conference scheduling

257
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: moves that you've made recently to kind of adhere to

258
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: the SEC scheduling model. Well, hey man, the SEC scheduling

259
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: model has changed, so don't the Big ten scheduling models

260
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: have to change? Just a question? Just because you may

261
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: think I'm saying this sarcastically, and to a certain degree,

262
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: i am. But if I'm running the Big Ten, I'm

263
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: trying to get out in front of this because it's

264
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: a real embarrassment to have a team with a worst

265
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,599
Speaker 1: win loss record from that conference down south get preferential

266
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: treatment over you in playoff selection process sees coming soon

267
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: because they scheduled up and you didn't. So that's the

268
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: first thing. The second thing is it feels emminent that

269
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: the twenty to twenty six College Football Playoff agreement will happen. Now,

270
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: I think in agreement will happen. I think they will

271
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: change this thing moving forward. Now, remember where we've been,

272
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: because there was kind of a bookmark in all this

273
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: because we had to get this out of the way first,

274
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: So there's been a giant bookmark sort of debates coming

275
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: to a head and nobody being the clear winner. So

276
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: they just bookmarked it. So we'll come back to it later.

277
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: The SEC has wanted to expand the playoff, but they

278
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: want to do it with the five plus eleven model,

279
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: which means your conference champs get in, and your G

280
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: five team gets in, and that's your five guaranteed spots,

281
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: and then six through fifteen I think, or something like

282
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: that is just or five through six through sixteen or whatever.

283
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: It is nothing but aqs or nothing but that largest

284
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: so that's just the next highest seeded teams. I'm on

285
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: record is not liking that at all. A lot of

286
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: you were on record as liking it. I am still

287
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: firmly convinced that the Big Ten has done a horrifically

288
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: bad job of articulating them. Merits of their position. Their

289
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: position is they want the AQ format. The AQ format

290
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: is where a conference already has a certain allotment of

291
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: teams and then they play their season and then play

292
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: like a play in Saturday tournament, little mini tournament, very

293
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: many tournament to fill their seats, but their seats are

294
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: already set at the table. A lot of you think

295
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: that's poison. I used to as well. It's not. It's

296
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: clearly the better option if you want to crystallize value

297
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: in the regular season. So here's why I told you.

298
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm a little on pause for this

299
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: deciding whether it's good or not. If this just leads

300
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: to more meaningful regular season games, If this leads to

301
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: a more robust SEC league schedule, better TV inventory, better

302
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: value for season ticket holders, and that's it, I'm good

303
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: with it. I love it. But if this was the

304
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: SEC's give in exchange for their take being the big

305
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: ten caving on the five plus eleven playoff format, I

306
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: hate it because the five plus eleven playoff format the

307
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: SEC wants sucks. It zaps value from regular season games.

308
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: And someone who's a detractor, someone who disagrees with me

309
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: on that's going to say nuh uh. It actually assigns

310
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: more value to regular season games. How's that Well, because

311
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: there are more playoff spots, that means there are more

312
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: teams playing for more playoff spots. Yeah, yeah, they sure are,

313
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: I guess by that theory. By that logic, though, no

314
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: matter how big the playoff is and go to sixty

315
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: four teams, there's no limit to how much meaning you

316
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: could add to the regular season by expanding the playoff. Right,

317
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: some people actually believe that. I of course don't, but

318
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: some do, Just like I don't believe you could endlessly

319
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: print money and keep the value of the money. Not

320
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: to teach an economics course here, but I always use

321
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: this example. I'll use it again. I'll switch the team

322
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: because for some reason, I always mentioned Tennessee. So let's

323
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: say that Texas goes into the first week of November

324
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: and they're eight and one. Let's say the SEC gets

325
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: their way and it's the five plus eleven playoff model.

326
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: All right, Texas is eight and one going into the

327
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: first week of November. Texas knows they can lose two

328
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: of their final three games and they're in the playoff.

329
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: At that point, Texas knows we can lose two of

330
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: our final three. Now we may hurt our seeding a

331
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: little bit. We're not gonna go to the conference championship

332
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: game if that still exists, but we're in. So in

333
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: this precious five plus eleven model, where we allegedly are

334
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: assigning more value to more games, making the regular season

335
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: more meaningful, you're actually taking the teams capable of winning

336
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: the whole thing and telling them, hey, long as you

337
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: guys get to November with one loss or fewer, you'll skate.

338
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: You're good. Still try and win. You know it'd be

339
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: nice to win, but just make sure you don't get hurt,

340
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: and you guys will be good. You'll be in the playoff.

341
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: That sucks in the AQ model. Yeah, the SEC knows

342
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: they're going to get four in. The Big Ten, knows

343
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: they're going to get four in. They got no clue

344
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: which four up to this point. Okay, here's how big

345
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: a mystery it remains. Take that same Texas team eight

346
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: and one entering November. They know nothing. They the only

347
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: way they're guaranteed to make the playoff is if they

348
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: finish one or two in the league. And you don't

349
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: know how those league standings are gonna shake out until

350
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: the very end. Texas could exit the regular season. Let's

351
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: just say they exit ten and two and they end

352
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: up number three in the SEC's league standings. They would

353
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: earn nothing more than the opportunity to play in a

354
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: play in game on the first Saturday in December. They

355
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: lose that playing game, they're done. They're not in the

356
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: playoff at least if we went with my fourteen team model.

357
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: Now here's what really sucks about it. It doesn't sound

358
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: like my fourteen team model has any traction. So it

359
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: sounds like even if the Big ten gets their way

360
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: on the AQ model, the SEC is gonna insist that

361
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: it's sixteen teams. So there are some at large spots,

362
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: which to me defeats the whole purpose of what a

363
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: play in a weekend would be, because that means your

364
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 1: higher seeded teams can lose and still getting the playoff,

365
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: which again just zaps a lot of the urgency from

366
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: those games. So I think that this has a lot

367
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: of playoff ramifications attached to it. That's why I'm hesitant

368
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: to say I love it. On the surface, it makes

369
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: total sense, and I do love it. Beneath the surface,

370
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know welcome in. Happy to have you Quick

371
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: Trip fueling everything we do. Basically, they have fueled my

372
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: cold brew today. They fuel us in our wonderful vehicles

373
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: all across the country. They are fueling the Faul Don't

374
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: Lie Tour headed to Columbus, Ohio. By the way, next

375
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: week we will be about to hit the road. Go

376
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: see our fine friends up there in Columbus. So Quick

377
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: Trip a little over a year ago, we committed to

378
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: Quick Trip and they committed to us. We had a

379
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: whole ceremony. If you're new around here, we had a

380
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: whole ceremony. I had hats. We had multiple convenience stores

381
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: sea stores as we call them, that were vying for

382
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: our services. They wanted to be the exclusive fuel provider

383
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: of PAYT State. And if you've been, you remember it

384
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: was historic. If you're you know, like if you're a fan,

385
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: if you're a South Carolina fan, you remember where you

386
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: were when Jadeveon Clowney committed to South Carolina. And then

387
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: you remember where you were when we committed a Quick Trip.

388
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: Those are the two big recruitments that you remember. And

389
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: we're happy to have them with us again. Happy to

390
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: have them fueling us with cold brew on tap, among

391
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: several other snacks and goodies that you can find inside

392
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: good old fashioned gasoline outside and quick trip there to

393
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: deliver it all. All right, it's weird that we didn't

394
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: lead the show with this. I wouldn't call this anti

395
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: climactic because we got a jam packed show tonight. But

396
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: my goodness, you know what I got in front of me, Bradley,

397
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: here's a good endpoint. You know what I got in

398
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: front of me? Here at my national championship prediction, Like

399
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: this is a big do is seven to twenty pm

400
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: on this Thursday night, August twenty first, and we're looking

401
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: ahead to January, what like the second or third week

402
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: in January. So let me remind you the other night,

403
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: I already picked my car conference winners, so we don't

404
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: have to laboriously kind of weave our way through the

405
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: weeds there conference winners. I picked Penn State over Oregon

406
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten championship game. And good for James Franklin.

407
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: By the way, let's just pause. If they do that.

408
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: If they do that, is that the big one? Well

409
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: it's a big one, immunity, But is that the big one?

410
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. I gotta let Penn State fans decide

411
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: on that. We took Alabama over Texas in the SEC

412
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: Championship game, took Clemson over Georgia Tech in the ACC

413
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: Championship game, and Kenny Dillingham keeps his staff intact. Joey

414
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: MacGuire goes and gets a whole new team from the portal,

415
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: basically Arizona State over Texas Tech. That would be a

416
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: rematch of a regular season game. Arizona State wins the

417
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. Back to back Big Twelve champs hasn't happened

418
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: in like half a decade. So then the at larges.

419
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: Here's how we see the entire thing seeded out. So

420
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: you're one, two, three, and four, This is important to

421
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: note would be Penn State, Bama, Texas, and those are

422
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: the four teams that get the buys. That was not

423
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: the case last year. Remember that sounds jacked up because

424
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: you said, whoa wait wait wait, So it's just SEC

425
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: and Big ten teams that got the buys. How's that work?

426
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: That's how it would have worked last year with these rules. Guys.

427
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: They changed the rules. The rules last year where you

428
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: had to have be a conference champ to get a

429
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: first round by now it's just the top four seeds

430
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: get the first round bys. Last year the top four

431
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: seeds were the Big ten and SEC champ and the

432
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: Big ten and SEC runner up. So I'm just projecting

433
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: that to be the case again this year. You're five

434
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: through twelve. These are your at larges. I had Clumson

435
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: at five, Notre Dame at six, Ohio State at seven.

436
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: I have Florida in the playoff at eight. I have

437
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: Georgia there at nine. Basically the outcome of that head

438
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: to head game probably flips that seeding. I got Arizona

439
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: State at ten. I have Nebraska at eleven, Nebraska and

440
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: the playoff yes you heard me right, and Boise State

441
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: as our g five are representative at twelve. The games

442
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: this creates. The games that this bracket creates in the

443
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: first round would be ungodly, especially the first one. We

444
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: would have the University of Georgia led by Kirby Smart,

445
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: going into Jacksonville, No not Jacksonville, going into Gainesville, Florida

446
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: to face Billy Napier and the Gators. I want you

447
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: to close your eyes for a second unless you're driving.

448
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: You know what, if you drive and pull over to

449
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: the side of the road. I really need your eyes closed.

450
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: I insist on it. Press pause if you need to

451
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: close your eyes for a second. And I want you

452
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: to imagine the first week in December, and I want

453
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: you to imagine the swamp where it's probably still seventy

454
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: five eighty degrees, grass is still green. Groundskeepers have done

455
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: a wonderful job there. And I want you to imagine

456
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: ninety thousand psychopaths who have seen Billy Napier go from

457
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: fired by them to leading their team to the college

458
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: Football Playoff, hosting a game against their bitter rival that

459
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: they normally just meet in a fifty to fifty scenario.

460
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: Crowd split wise in Jacksonville, And here comes Georgia in

461
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: those white jerseys, silver breeches by the way out of

462
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: the tunnel at the swamp. You haven't seen it. You

463
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. If you're twenty four years old, you've

464
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: never seen that. Now, how does that go? How does

465
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: that go? What kind of police escort? Does Georgia even

466
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: need to get in there? How does that go? I

467
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: got Georgia going in there and winning. George's been there,

468
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: not to the swamp per se, but George's been there.

469
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: They've been to the spot. They've been to the playoffs.

470
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: That's a lot of newness for Florida. So I'm going

471
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: to take Georgia going into the swamp and winning in

472
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: the first round. I am going to take Clemson over

473
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: Boise State, even though the Boise logos on the bottom,

474
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: because that's how the bracket looks. That's a home game

475
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: for Clemson. Clemson's not losing to Boise They're not. If

476
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: they do. You were talking about just a cataclysmic failure

477
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: of opportunity not being grabbed by Daboswiney and his team.

478
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: And they will not fail me. So they will win

479
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: that game. We have got what Arizona State going to

480
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: Ohio State, and I mean, I don't know how you

481
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: don't pick Ohio State. If Ohio State was good enough

482
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: to make the playoff there, they're hosting a playoff game.

483
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: It's cold weather. It's Arizona State going into cold weather.

484
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: I'll take Ohio State to beat Arizona State. And I

485
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: will take Nebraska going into South Bend Notre Dame again.

486
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: If Notre Dame's good enough to be in there, they've

487
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: been there before, like they've got understanding of how this works.

488
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: A lot of those guys staff players that were there

489
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: last year, they're probably just the better team there. I

490
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: don't overthink the room on this. I want you to

491
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: pause for just a second. If you're again, if you're

492
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: listening on podcasts, you haven't even started to drive again

493
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: because you're still on the side of the road. Open

494
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: your eyes. No, no, no, close them again, yeah, close them again.

495
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: I have the what would be the Elite aid in basketball?

496
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: The quarterfinals in the college football Playoff are in front

497
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: of you right now. It is a site to behold.

498
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: If you've ever been to the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls,

499
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: seen Floyd of Rosedale, the trophy, you know, some of

500
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: the wonders of the world, this would be one. How

501
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: many do we have? China was the ninth wonder of

502
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: the world, the wrestler, not the country, So the tenth

503
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: wonder of the world would be this. I want you

504
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: just Tyler, don't even press go on it yet. I

505
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: want to read the matchups. Georgia versus Penn State at

506
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: the same time, Oregon versus Clemson at the same time,

507
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: Ohio State versus Alabama at the same time, Texas versus

508
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Now you know, I didn't want to expand

509
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: the playoff. But as I didn't want to expand the playoff,

510
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: I said, there's going to be some good that comes

511
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: from the expanded playoff. That right there over here is

512
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: some of the good that comes from the expanded playoff.

513
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: Who or hoomst will win these games? Gimme Penn State

514
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: over Georgia. Give me I guess you want an explainer there. Well,

515
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: the explainer is it's just total do or die time

516
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: for Penn State. So that matchup feels like the Georgia

517
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: Notre Dame matchup last year. In going into it, I

518
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: had no idea what the edges were. Actually picked Georgia

519
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: to beat Notre Dame and then Notre Dame whipped them

520
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage. But also there was a

521
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: terrorist attack that week, and Georgia is starting to back

522
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 1: up quarterback, so you know, fingers crossed none of the externals.

523
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: But I just went and watched Penn State practice the

524
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: other day, So probably some recency bias in my head,

525
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: but I really think they're geared up, like the wide

526
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: receiver talent there more than I have. So I'll take

527
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: Penn State. I'll roll the dice. On James Franklin and

528
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: company to get to the semi finals again. Oregon over

529
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: Clemson is my pick in this game, whatever neutral site

530
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: it's played at. That's the only flaw in this that

531
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: all these games are being played at neutral sites. Listen,

532
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning and that team got smoked when they finally

533
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: played again last year. They had a first round by Again,

534
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: it matters that they experienced this. It matters to me.

535
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: It matters what they learned, and without sharing state secrets,

536
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: I sat in a room with Dan Lanning last week

537
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: and talked to him in vivid detail about that experience,

538
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: that Rose Bowl experience. How do you learn from that,

539
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: not just as a team, but as a staff, as

540
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: a person, as a coach. How do you learn from it?

541
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: Suffice it to say, I think they learned from it.

542
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to apply that theory here and pick them

543
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: to beat Clemson next up. Oh Man, look at these

544
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: matchups Ohio State versus Alabama. I believe that the more

545
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: multifaceted team here is going to win, and I believe

546
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: that will be Alabama. Also, Alabama's rested in this scenario,

547
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: and Caylin de Boor has shown me the ability to

548
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: win big games. Then again, so here's Ryan Day. So

549
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: it's just a good, hard fought matchup there. But I'm

550
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: taking Alabama to beat Ohio State and Texas Notre Dame

551
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: yet again. Just a Hall of Fame helmet game here.

552
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: Very tough for me. This was the toughest one to pay.

553
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: I'd say Georgia Penn State was really close in my

554
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: mind too. But I will take the Texas Longhorns to

555
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: also advance to the semi finals. There. Now, what have

556
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: we arrived at, Well, we've arrived at ridiculousness. Because if

557
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: you just listen to me on Potter, if you're watching

558
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: on the screen, these matchups look aful familiar, don't they

559
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: They should because they will have just happened one month ago,

560
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: because it is a rematch of the Big Ten championship game,

561
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: and it is a rematch of the SEC championship game.

562
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: Now this is eventually gonna happen, might as well be

563
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: this year. And by this I mean you're gonna have

564
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: some matchup that happened in the regular season, and then

565
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: it happens again in the conference title game, and then

566
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: it happened again in the playoff. All right, So in

567
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: the interest of chaos. What have we seen? I think

568
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Penn State's gonna beat Oregon in the regular season game.

569
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: I also picked Penn State to beat Oregon in the

570
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: Big Ten championship game. Are you gonna beat the same

571
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: team three times in a year. My answer is no.

572
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: My answer is no again. I like Dan Lanning having

573
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: been there, I like their talent having gotten to this spot,

574
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: and I believe that they can get the job done.

575
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: And Oregon beats Penn State and Penn State sitting there

576
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: saying hold on, we took two out of three. It's

577
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: like the Nationals coming to town against the Braves. Brave. No,

578
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: the brazley't taking two out of three for many one

579
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: this year, the Mets took two out of three from them,

580
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: and they're looking at what we still lost the series? Though?

581
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: How does that work? Well, it's college football playoff. That's

582
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: how this would be the death blow to conference championship games.

583
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: By the way, cause if you can, you imagine James

584
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: Franklin and how red he is coming off the field

585
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: knowing full well we just had to play a team

586
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: a third time. We've already beaten them twice, and because

587
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: we happened to, we didn't complete the sweep, we're going home,

588
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: and they're going to the National Championship game. I'm gonna

589
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: take Bama over Texas because I again Kaylin Debor in

590
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: big game theory, and that's gonna apply in the National

591
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: Championship game too. That's not a third game, but that

592
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: also would be a rematch of a conference championship game.

593
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: I am always hesitant to even pick a team to

594
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: double dip another team, but recent history showed me Georgia

595
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: beat Texas twice regular season conference championship game, So if

596
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: I got Bama over Texas in Atlanta, I don't necessarily

597
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: hesitate to pick them again again. I'm thinking about the

598
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: secondary and the depth and quality of player for Alabama

599
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: and maybe Texas not facing that elsewhere in the year.

600
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: It's shades of gray here could go either way, Oregon

601
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: versus Alabama and the National champion Game. If you've watched

602
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: this show for a while, you know that I have

603
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: famously crashed and burned picking Dan Lanning versus Kaylin de

604
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: board games. I again, very famously am zero to two

605
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: in those games, and I told myself self, don't let

606
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: this happen again. And then Debor left Washington and I said, whow,

607
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about it. But here they

608
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: are in the National Championship game, and Kaylen de Bors

609
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: still himself, just probably with a more talented roster against

610
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: Dan Landing in Oregon. Dan Lanning and Oregon may get

611
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: the job done. They eventually will, but I'm not going

612
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: to have Kaylen de boor dunk on me again improve

613
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: me wrong by going with Dan and then at the

614
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: end of the day saying, man, Kaylen de Bor's pretty good.

615
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: So if this is the matchup, I'm taking Alabama to

616
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: win it all. So I'll take Alabama to win the

617
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: National Championship and that completes my playoff predictions for this year.

618
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: Remember our rule around here, we have never gotten a

619
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: prediction wrong. I'm perfect all time in games that kids, coaches,

620
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: and officials don't screw up. So either this is the

621
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: way it's going to play out, or someone else screwed up.

622
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: And at that point it's not my fault. It's not

623
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: my fault that players don't execute the way they're supposed to. Coaches,

624
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, don't focus the way they're supposed to, don't

625
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: call plays the way they're supposed to. I mean what

626
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: Mike Bobo does or doesn't call is none of It's

627
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: none of my business. It's not my fault, guys. So

628
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: I just want the credit, none of the blame. Part

629
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: B of the rule book around here, on a more

630
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: serious note, is, of course, it's a long shot that

631
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: this plays out according to plan. It's always a long shot.

632
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't think any bracket was perfect last year.

633
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: That goes for me, but that goes for everyone else.

634
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: So the rule around here is I'm happy to listen

635
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: to you hate on my predictions as long as you

636
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: give me yours, and make sure you give me your

637
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: predictions not around Thanksgiving. Give me your predictions before kickoff happens.

638
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: For week zero, I will accept late submissions. I don't

639
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: think many of you are picking Kansas State or Iowa

640
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: State to win at all. God bless you if you are.

641
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: I'll take submissions up until week one, but I am

642
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: not entertaining people that are hating on my bracket. Come December,

643
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: with the revision, it will actually with hindsight on your side,

644
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: and then come to find out, will you never put

645
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: your own predictions out there? No, that's the coward's way out.

646
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: That's not returning your shopping cart. Don't leave it out

647
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: in the parking lot. Those kinds of people are the

648
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: same kind of people dunking on you in December for

649
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: your playoff predictions and then come to find out, Oh,

650
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: so you didn't go out on the limb. You just

651
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,959
Speaker 1: made fun of me when I did and it broke

652
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: and then I turned into street pizza on the ground.

653
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Chula Vista, California, Richmond, Virginia, Mobile, Alabama.

654
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: Hurt someone call it mobile the other day. I don't

655
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: want to say who is a prominent member of the

656
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: sports media and they should be shamed. I will not

657
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: be the one to shame them, though, I got too

658
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: much to do tonight. We got a long way to go.

659
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: Jampack Show. Okay, Fall Camp Intel, we are getting ever

660
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: closer to kickoff, So this is some of the last

661
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: Fall Camp Intel we'll be able to deliver. But we

662
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: got to talk about USC. We got to talk about

663
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: USC because their projected left guard is ineligible. DJ Wingfield

664
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: is ineligible, and it looked like he projected to be

665
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: their starting left guard. And the thing about depth is

666
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: you can have a lot of players that you kind

667
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: of count on so USC, for example, USC will tell

668
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: you we got depth, will be okay at offensive guards.

669
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: So then you ask, all right, well who are your starters?

670
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: We don't quite know yet. Okay, when are you gonna know?

671
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: Guess playing a week right, so what are you gonna know?

672
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: If it works out fine, it works out fine. I've

673
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: just been around this too many times, and I've listened

674
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: to people tell me too many times, Oh, we got

675
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: we got plenty of names. They'll just start listing names. Well,

676
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: I can pull up Phil Stills's Preview magazine and listen names.

677
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: I want you to give me quality starters. That's what

678
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: I want to know. So I don't know who those

679
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: are yet. On the interior of the offensive line. They're

680
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: at the guard position for you, U, So that may

681
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: not be a weakness. It's just a question for me

682
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: right now. On the plus side, sounds like good things

683
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: for Jade and Mayava finally got a full spring and

684
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: summer and fall knowing it's his job and that was

685
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: not the case last year. So that's good. I trust

686
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley implicitly with quarterbacks, goes without saying, so that's good.

687
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: Waym and Jordan starting tailback for them. That's the fifth

688
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: straight year they'll have a first year starter at tailback

689
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: or at least at the running back one position. He

690
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: was in JUCO last year. Heard some good whispers about him.

691
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see they opening its Missouri State Quality competition

692
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: later on. Texas A and M been sort of sprinkling

693
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: nuggets about Marcel Reid here and there, like what we've

694
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: heard on the improved mechanics, better thrower. Think that they're

695
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: more suited to push the ball downfield this year. That's

696
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: the buzz we've gotten out of camp. Now, Casey Concepcion

697
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: should be a good receiver if he's healthy for them.

698
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: Mario Kraver should be a very good receiver for them.

699
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: Ashton Bethel Roman is a red shirt freshman that has

700
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: been one of the sort of low key you hear

701
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: the snap of the fingers, sort of low key finger

702
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: snappers of camp, and I look forward to that because

703
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: they do need depth at that position. Offense. Sounds like

704
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: it's ahead of the defense and practice there. You make

705
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: of that what you will. I never quite know how

706
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: to interpret that, but we do remember how last season ended.

707
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: Last season ended with Mike Elko essentially swinging a stick

708
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: at his entire defensive starting rotation like it was a

709
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: pinata and in very very unequivocal terms saying this is

710
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: not acceptable. So they were in the nineties and past

711
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: defense last year. The secondary will be improved. I would

712
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: bet money on that. How improved are they going to be?

713
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: And when are we going to see it tested? Notre Dame, CJ.

714
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: Carr going to test it, Auburn coming to town, Jackson

715
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: Arnold gonna test it. We keep going, keep going, keep going.

716
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: It's really Florida Week six or seven if they got

717
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: to buy a week, So we'll see. Arizona State. Arizona

718
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: State was eighty eight in sacks per game last year.

719
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: They still won the Big Twelve. It was a reason

720
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: I thought they may not win the Big twelve, but

721
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: they still won the Big Twelve. I expect a big

722
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 1: upgrade there, justin Wattley, Clayton Smith, those are two names

723
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: to know up front. They think that they've improved their

724
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: pass rush defense returns ten of eleven there. I think

725
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: they've got fourteen of seventeen guys returning with two hundred

726
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: plus snaps played. So that's a very experienced defense. No

727
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: reason why they don't improve on some of those numbers.

728
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: Here's the trade off they've gotten after Sam Levit in

729
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: practice a little bit. So there's this fine line you

730
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: want to walk as a returning starting quarterback, especially one

731
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: that's losing his starting tailback. More on that in a second.

732
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: By I want to be aggressive, but I also want

733
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: to be smart, So there's calculated aggression. I don't know

734
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: that Kenny's been using that exact phrase, calculated aggression, and

735
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: it sounds like they're still trying to dial that in

736
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: a little bit now. Kenny Dillingham also said, hey man,

737
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: someone's got to go three and nine? Why not us?

738
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: And he was not joking. It was when they had

739
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: a terrible practice early in camp. They're not going to

740
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: go three and nine actually, after Florida State last year.

741
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: I will never guarantee anything like that. There is no

742
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: floor for anyone. The floor is zero and twelve for

743
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: everyone apparently. But I don't think they're going to go

744
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: three and nine. But I do think that it may

745
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: not just come out of the gate seamlessly as you

746
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: would expect, simply because there's a returning quarterback. Now there's

747
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: a whole lot being made of camp Scataboo not being

748
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: there anymore. I don't think this is a bold statement,

749
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: but I think people who don't follow Arizona State will

750
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: think it's a bold statement. They're gonna be fine at tailback.

751
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't have big concern about them at tailback. I

752
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: think the personnel is good. They don't have a camp Scatabu,

753
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: but they got multiple guys they can rely on. I

754
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: am I have some concerns for them tailbacks, not one

755
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: of them. I think they're okay there. Missouri sounds like

756
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: the quarterback battle is going to extend into Week one.

757
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: It is because Eli Drinkwitz told us so So broke

758
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: Beau Pribuela. Rather he transferred there from Penn State. And

759
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: I would imagine Jesse, I mean, I would imagine most

760
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: of the preview magazines listed him as the starter. I

761
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,959
Speaker 1: thought he was going to just be the outright starter.

762
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: He may still be, but he has not won the

763
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: job yet. You do not give these jobs away. Does

764
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: not matter again. I guarantee you that staff thought just

765
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: to be locked up by now, but it's not. So.

766
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: It's Bou Pribula at sam Horn and they you know,

767
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: they don't play a marquee opponent in week one, so

768
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: they can afford to do this. Sounds like Kaden Green's

769
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: moving to left tackle, by the way, so the guard

770
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: position looks okay, six five three twenty five. I'm really

771
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: looking forward seeing how that quarterback battle shakes out. They

772
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: did that in twenty twenty three as well, So this

773
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: is not uncharted territory for Eli Drinkwitz and Missouri. Big

774
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: announcement today. Some water somewhere, would I put it? Oh?

775
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: Here it is. Pause Bradley, don't pause the video, Just

776
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: just hold on for a second. As you can tell,

777
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: I haven't lost my voice, but I've been doing a

778
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: whole lot of talking because there's been a lot going on.

779
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: So you remember about about a month and a half ago,

780
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: I told you it was early July. I told you

781
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: Happy Fourth of July, and then I told you we

782
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: got to go away for a little while. But we're

783
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: not taking an off season. There's just some stuff going

784
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: on with my contract. At the time, I was with

785
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: CBS and that was coming to an end. I didn't

786
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: really share all that, but that was coming to an

787
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: m And what I also didn't share is we were

788
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: in discussions with a whole bunch of companies. One non

789
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: negotiable was I was not going to work for anyone

790
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: because I was going to be my own boss. The

791
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: show was going to be one hundred percent of mine,

792
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: and if all we had was the show, then that

793
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: was going to be okay with me, because that's really

794
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: all we need. But everything was going to work downstream

795
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: of the show. So we obviously got that, and we

796
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: signed a deal with Yahoo Sports and on three, and

797
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: we signed a couple of other deals that I don't publicize.

798
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: It just helps the engine of the show. Show remains

799
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: the same, just a little brighter and crisper looking. But

800
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: we signed another deal and we announced it this morning. Actually,

801
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: you probably if you had your TV on, you saw

802
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: me on Get Up with Mike Greenberg and company. Over

803
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: at ESPN, we signed a deal with ESPM, so I

804
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: will be with ESPN this year. What that means is

805
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: you'll see me on Sports Center occasionally, maybe Get Up occasionally.

806
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: I actually don't know what all I'll do. But here's

807
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: how it affects the show. None. Here's how it affects

808
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: the price of the show. None. It's free, It's still

809
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: on the same channels, it's still owned by us exclusively.

810
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: So nothing changes. The only thing that changes is if

811
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: your TV happens to be on ESPN in the mornings,

812
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: you may see your boy a little bit. But it's

813
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: a really good partnership. We're in the business of partnerships now.

814
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: As I explained to you, you would see announcements every

815
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: now and then like that. That's the way distribution works.

816
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: To me, there's a whole philosophy shift on that that

817
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: I won't bore you with. But we got at least

818
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: one more still in the barrel, and we may announce

819
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: it and we may not. It may just be something

820
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: that you notice out there. But we did the Bussing

821
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: deal and I'm gonna do a show with Busting with

822
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: the Boys every Wednesday. We've got our Yahoo Sports deal,

823
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: We've got our on three partnership, We've got a partnership

824
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: with ESPN. You may say to yourself, uh oh, oversaturation,

825
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: Be careful, don't want to spread yourself too thin. It's

826
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: actually the opposite of what's happening. What's happening is there's

827
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: a whole lot more of a silo mentality amongst audiences

828
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: these days. I look at the data, it's incontrovertible. What

829
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: happens is you used to watch a lot more or

830
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: consume a lot more from a lot more places than

831
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: you do now. Now everyone's kind of bunkered in, and

832
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: so what you have to do is you have to

833
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: go to them. And that's what we're doing, and we've

834
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: got the show. Of course, this is our headquarters, this

835
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: is our hub, this is our death star over here

836
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: that gives life, ironically, but it doesn't hurt to go

837
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: say hey everyone on ESPN or elsewhere. And also a

838
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: lot of my friends work over there, so that's a

839
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: good partnership. Man. I grew up watching ESPN. That's something

840
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: I dreamed about as a kid. So we've knocked that

841
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: one down. Had fun this morning, and we'll do that

842
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: all year. Here we go, Oh, here we go. I've

843
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: waited months for this. It is time to predict a

844
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: college football game. Iowa State versus Kansas State. This kicks

845
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: off twelve Eastern, but it's not big new kickoff because

846
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: it's in Dublin, Ireland, so the sun will actually be

847
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: setting over there around the time this happens. I've spoken

848
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: my piece on international neutral site games, but whatever, it's

849
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: college football game. So set the table here. These teams

850
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: want to combine twenty games last year. This is parmageddon.

851
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: This is a big deal. People. Head coach returns for

852
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: both teams. Offensive and defensive coordinators return for both teams.

853
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks return for both teams. The Big twelve odds are insane.

854
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: Everyone's favored to win the thing. It seems like there's

855
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: this huge just like conglomeration, this glob of teams up there,

856
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: Kansas State, Arizona State, Utah, Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU, Iowa State, Kansas.

857
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: They're all in this lead pack and then there's a

858
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: little separation and then another pack of Brigham Young, Colorado, Houston, Cincinnati,

859
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: Point Being. No one knows, even our friends at FanDuel,

860
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: they don't know how this is going to work out.

861
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: But we get a rivalry game to start the year.

862
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: So it's time to find out. Man, it's time to

863
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: find out about Iowa State trying to replace two NFL

864
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And they don't necessarily grow on trees, They're

865
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: like they do in Florida, and so you're wondering how

866
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: are they going to backfill? Well, we told you about

867
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: a name in the spring Chase Sowell. He is a

868
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver out of East Carolina transferred in. They're very

869
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: high on him. I watched them in the spring. I'm

870
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: high on him. Let's see if we were right. Let's

871
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: find out. Let's find out how how much more advanced

872
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: rock O Beck's game is. Because there's a certain point

873
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: where you just are who you are, sometimes as a

874
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 1: quarterback or any other position player, and it doesn't matter

875
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: if you're a ninth year returning starter. At some point

876
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: you hit your maximum or your peak potential. Is that him?

877
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: Is that Avery Johnson? Because this is Avery Johnson's moment.

878
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: Man like Avery Johnson. Last year looked flat out bad

879
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: at times. It was kind of weird to watch Kansas State.

880
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: He finished with less than two hundred and twenty five

881
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: yards passing an eight of thirteen games. Now he's a

882
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: threat with his legs, so it's not the worst thing

883
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: in the world if he throws for two to two,

884
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: but he also runs for seventy five. They get their

885
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver, one back, they get their tight end one back.

886
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: But outside of that, you got a bunch of transfers,

887
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: which is okay. That's kind of the name of the

888
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: game in college football. These days, But there's a lot

889
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: of new pieces that just have to gel here at

890
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: Iowa State defense, especially against the run. They can't let

891
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: Kansas State get go win. They were one hundredth against

892
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: the run last year. It's been a point of emphasis

893
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: for them. But you know, on the other side, has

894
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: been a point of premium emphasis for Chris Climbing in

895
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: Kansas State because if I got a quarterback that I

896
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: can't necessarily count on to light you up through the air,

897
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm running the ball, and both teams very very talented

898
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: tailback rooms. But I'll tell you, as we look at

899
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: what the model thinks about this game, Fanduels got it

900
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: right now. Kansas State minus three and a half. The

901
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: model pretty much agrees. In fact, the model, which we're

902
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: debuting at least for this season. If you're new around here,

903
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: we run our own numbers internally. We got Kansas State

904
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: minus four. The model at least has Kansas State minus four.

905
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: So here's where I think this game is going to

906
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: get decided. Iowa State was seventeenth last year in explosive

907
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: pass plays. Kansas State d defensively one oh seven, and

908
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: they got new corners. Iowa State or Kansas State rather

909
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: breaking in new corners. And I think that even with

910
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: the new receivers or the unproven receiver room, for Iowa State,

911
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a player two more to be made

912
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: there on the perimeter than there is for Kansas State.

913
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Iowa State to win the game outright,

914
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: no bias whatsoever. Of course there's bias, there's bias. I'm

915
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna take Iowa State to win. It's not a Romannudal

916
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: Express best bet, but I am taking Iowa State to win.

917
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: And then I can go buy gear at Academy if

918
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: I want to. Academy Sports and Outdoors has outfitted us

919
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: from head to toe for a long time. But it's

920
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: not just that you can go get camping gear. You

921
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: can go get tailgating gear. Tailgating headquarters there at Academy

922
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors. And you know it's true because if

923
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: you walk through any tailgating scene next weekend or this

924
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: weekend for some of you who are lucky, there's an

925
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: Academy chair, there's an Academy canopy tent, there's an Academy bucket,

926
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: there's an Academy wagon. All of these things are functional people.

927
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: These aren't just decorative. These are functional. This is not

928
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: the candle. This is real world. We need it stuff,

929
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: and Academy's got it for you, and we appreciate them.

930
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: I had a question about chaos in the packet of

931
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: papers I have in front of me, and it's a

932
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: good question. It's a timely question. Crimson Randy, known by

933
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: no other name, from Huntsville, Alabama. He said, I heard

934
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: you invoke the two thousand and seven season when discussing

935
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: your season preview for this year. Can that sort of

936
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: chaos really happen again? Oh, Crimson Randy, Absolutely it can.

937
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven is the stuff of legend for

938
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: those of you who are too young to remember, or

939
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: your memory was just wiped clean. But O seven was wild,

940
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: and Crimson Randy's asking me, can that happen again? Yes?

941
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: It can. Let me give you the obvious reasons why

942
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: it could happen. We've got a very compacted top twenty five.

943
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: I looked at the JP pole, I looked at the

944
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: model the points on a neutral field gap between our

945
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: number one team and our number twenty five team. Fourteen

946
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: points is the gap. There have been years where we

947
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: had a fourteen point gap between number one and number

948
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: ten just for comparison's sake. So things are very compacted.

949
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: But to give you an idea, if you look at

950
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: the number nine team and the number forty team, there's

951
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: about an eleven point gap between those teams. So you're

952
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna look at some stuff happen this year and it's

953
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,959
Speaker 1: gonna look like a huge upset and it's not. This year.

954
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna look at some point spreads come out for

955
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: some games, and you're gonna think they look really weird

956
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: because they should be bigger and they're not, and it's not.

957
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna see huge shifts in power rankings, power ratings

958
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: JP POLE for example. Imagine this. Imagine the number thirteen

959
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: team loses by ten points. If I do nothing more

960
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: than knock them a point in a quarter, that may

961
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: drop them from thirteen to twenty five this year because

962
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: of how compacted things are, and people will be up

963
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: in arms about it, and they'll say, well, how did

964
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 1: we drop twelve spots, thirteen spots, fourteen spots. You dropped

965
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: a point in a quarter, that's what you dropped. It

966
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: just so happens that everyone's so tightly bunched. That's how

967
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: far you dropped comparatively. Oregon's got a new quarterback, George's

968
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: got a new quarterback, Bama does Texas, does Ohio State?

969
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Eleven of the top sixteen teams, and the

970
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: odds to win a national title. Timely punch there, Bradley.

971
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: Eleven of the top sixteen teams have new quarterbacks they're

972
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: starting this year. That alone is the real recipe for

973
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: chaos here, along with the other things. But I want

974
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: you to be reintroduced to what we call the cattle

975
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: prod theory on this show, and I want to gather

976
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: your emotions for a second, because this is going to happen.

977
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: It's coming at us. There's nothing you can do to

978
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: stop it. You just don't know where it's gonna hit.

979
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: This is Billy Bob Thorne and explaining to Bruce Willis

980
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: in Armageddon. The asteroid's coming. There's nothing we can do

981
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: to stop it. We just we're trying to figure out

982
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 1: where it's going to hit. Cattle prod theory is an

983
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: effect this year more so than ever before. Now, what

984
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: cattle prod theory is is the fact that your team

985
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: season is going to play out the way it's going

986
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: to play out. There's nothing you can do to control it.

987
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: What you can do is look forward to it. And

988
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 1: so you start setting expectations and you start thinking things.

989
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: And you got eight months to expect things and think things.

990
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: Now you could be right on the money, at which

991
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: point you will not be surprised at all by your

992
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: team's performance this fall. However, some of you are twenty

993
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: or thirty degrees off in May and in June, and

994
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: July and August go by, and you just continue to

995
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 1: become further entrenched in opinions that, unbeknownst to you, have

996
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: no basis in reality. And this happens every year, and

997
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: it's about to happen to some of you. And I

998
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: feel bad already, even though I don't know who I'm

999
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: feeling bad for. The cattle pride will hit your neck.

1000
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: It did Florida State last year. In Week one, Nick

1001
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: Saban himself goes on national TV and says, I think

1002
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: that team right there is gonna win the ACC. That's

1003
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: some of the best personnel I've seen. They're terrible, They're

1004
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: dead on arrival. You think anybody in Tallahassee, Florida expected that.

1005
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: Of course you didn't. What did it feel like in

1006
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: Week one you're not even angry, You're beyond angry. You're stunned.

1007
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: You're in disbelief. You have no way to grasp what's happening.

1008
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: It's cause you took a cattle prode to your neck.

1009
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: College football is the most beautiful, cruel sport in the world. Cluse,

1010
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: it's the hardest one to predict, and you will get

1011
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: cattle prodded Texas. You could have Ohio State gut you

1012
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: up the middle, run in the ball, give up six

1013
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: and a half seven yards per carry, and lose in Columbus.

1014
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 1: Then you never saw it coming. Oklahoma's offensive line could

1015
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: get caved against Michigan after you built up in your

1016
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: mind that you thought you had rebuilt that unit and

1017
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 1: you didn't. Penn State's wide receivers, Oregon comes to town,

1018
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: they shut you down. It's just a replay of the

1019
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: Notre Dame game last year, and you realize, even after

1020
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: all this portal infusion, we're still no different than we

1021
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 1: were last year. Bama, what if old Tommy c down there,

1022
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: Tommy Castianos, what if he runs all over you? What

1023
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: if you still have problems defending mobile quarterbacks. You don't

1024
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: expect it. That's why it's the cattle prod theory. What

1025
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: if Notre Dame goes down to Miami and they cannot

1026
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: move the ball at all, and you announce your starting quarterback,

1027
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: but then you got to go back on it, and

1028
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: then it's Kenny Minsche taking the field in the third

1029
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: quarter and you put nine points on the board against Miami.

1030
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: What if Miami secondary melts down and Notre Dame just

1031
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: moves up and down the field on you. What if

1032
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: South Carolina gets gashed on the ground by Virginia Tech

1033
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: in week one? What if Clemson cannot stop LSU? What

1034
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: if that offensive line for LSU goes in there and

1035
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: handles Clemson after all these questions and Garrett Nussemyer's moving

1036
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: it up and down the field and it's like the

1037
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: Louisville game all over again, and you realize, Wow, we

1038
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 1: really were a paper tigering up unintended. That's not predictions,

1039
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: because maybe all of that happens, maybe none of that happens,

1040
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: but you know some of it's gonna happen. Because it's

1041
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 1: cattle prod theory. In any given year, it happens in

1042
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 1: this year. To answer Crimson Randy's question, I guarantee you

1043
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen hoops, is it gonna happen to I

1044
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: apologize in advance. Now that shouldn't stop you from going

1045
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: to the games. That shouldn't stop you because seat Geek

1046

Speaker 1: there you go. Good luck in week one. This is

1065
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: a very negative question that I have in my hand

1066
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: right now. I don't like negativity, not a huge fan

1067
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,479
Speaker 1: of it. But I've been accused of not being negative enough,

1068
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: which somehow is a real allegation around here. Patrick from Lincoln, Nebraska,

1069
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: home of the corn Huskers, who will make the playoff

1070
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 1: this year. By the way, congrats and advance Patrick. So

1071
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 1: he said, are there any teams that you're cooling on

1072
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: as the season is nearly here? Yes, I got four

1073
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: of them. I want a preface. I actually think all

1074
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: four teams are good. I just happen to be a

1075
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: little lower on them than the market is. Did we

1076
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: all understand that? So like I'm gonna throw LSU at

1077
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: you already know what the boards are gonna do with this.

1078
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: I am a little bit lower on LSU coming out

1079
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: of the gate than most of the public is. The

1080
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: LSU Tigers are these seventh in the odds board to

1081
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: win it all. I'm not way further down than that

1082
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 1: on them. I maybe like tenth or eleventh or something

1083
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: like that. My thinking with LSU is I'm unsure enough

1084
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: about the offensive line rotation and offensive balance because of

1085
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: that and the defensive transfers gelling out of the gate,

1086
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: combined with a front loaded schedule that I'm a little

1087
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: bit cooler now about halftime of the Clemson game, Like

1088
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: if they if they've controlled the line of scrimmage, and

1089
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: if they've run the ball effectively and Nuts hadn't turned

1090
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: the ball over and they're holding their own and it's Clemson,

1091
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. I'm right all in on LSU

1092
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: because that will have answered my questions. I don't actually

1093
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: have to wait much longer than that. I just have

1094
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: no way of knowing if that's gonna happen. Now. LSU fans,

1095
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: you don't have a way of knowing that either, But

1096
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: you're hoping, hoping it into existence, and I try not

1097
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: to do that. Hope hope. Anyone who's seen Shawshank understands

1098
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: is a very dangerous thing. They will tell you it's

1099
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: the best of things, unless it leads you astray, in

1100
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: which case you get the cattle pride to the neck. Indiana.

1101
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: I think I'm lower on Indiana. Producer Jesse Go look

1102
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: at the AP poll because I try and stay away

1103
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: from such things. And it is telling us that Indiana

1104
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: is the twentieth ranked team to start the year. I'm

1105
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: a little bit lower on Indiana than that. They are

1106
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: expected to be a fringe contender according to that number.

1107
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't expect them to be that. Now here's the irony.

1108
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: I think they upgraded at quarterback. I think Mendoza is

1109
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: a little bit better player than Roark. So when you

1110
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: hear me say this, don't be dropping Fernanda Mendoza's name

1111
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: on me. I know I'm higher on him. I just

1112
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: think they're more on the radar this year. And they

1113
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: were number one against the run last year, and I

1114
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: don't think they will be again, not falling off a cliff,

1115
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: but to replicate that kind of production's tough, especially when

1116
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: everyone's gunning for you. And thirdly, look at the schedule.

1117
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: That's not last year's schedule. At Iowa, at Oregon, at

1118
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: Penn State. They they just got a tougher roe. They

1119
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: also got Illinois at home, so they just got a

1120
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: tougher rope. Now it's not insurmountable. That's still, relatively speaking,

1121
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: a workable schedule. But we're talking about them being a

1122
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: playoff team last year. We're talking about people expecting them

1123
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: to be a fringe contender again this year. I don't

1124
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: expect that. So I guess that means I'm down on

1125
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: Indiana a little bit. I'm down on Tennessee a little

1126
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: bit relative to the pack, but maybe not. Maybe people

1127
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: have cooled on Tennessee to where we're about the same.

1128
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll be lower on a team in spring and

1129
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: then the public like radically sells on them, and I'm like, Okay,

1130
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: maybe I'll buy some of that stock. I never quite

1131
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: got there with Tennessee. So I just think there's too

1132
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: much newness. I think there's too much unexpected newness. You

1133
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: can call you slice it any way you want to.

1134
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: You got a quarterback about to start for you that

1135
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: you didn't even know the name of midway through spring ball.

1136
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: If you're a Tennessee fan, you didn't know Joey Aguilar.

1137
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: You weren't paying attention to him, and now as you're

1138
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. So in storybook land, that goes great, This

1139
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: is the real world, this is the Southeastern Conference. There's

1140
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: too much new there. And that coupled with what was

1141
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: always gonna be a big question mark on the offensive line.

1142
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: You got a quarterback that comes in and has known

1143
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: for turning the ball over. I trust Josh Hipel's system

1144
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: like guys don't normally turn the ball over in his system.

1145
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: Still a question mark for me. The shaking out of

1146
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the depth and the wide receiver room is a question

1147
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: for me. Now that could all change if they upset

1148
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: Georgia again. That's kind of why it's all a question

1149
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: because Georgia goes up there early in the year. I mean,

1150
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: if they beat Georgia, they could end up like six

1151
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: to oh. They got a loaded back half of their schedule,

1152
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: but at that point they're not going to lose all

1153
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: those games in the back half. So it's still a

1154
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: really talented team. That's why I'm careful with this because

1155
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: I know I trust me, I run numbers over here

1156
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: or the model does. I know? The talent profile is

1157
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: still good. You just don't know as many of the names.

1158
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Talent profile is still good, coaching staff's still good. Maybe

1159
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit cooler on Tennessee SMU. I'm gonna

1160
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: do Rett Lashley a favor. Not enough people doubt Rhet Lashley.

1161
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't doubt him. Not enough people who doubt in

1162
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Rhet Lashley's team. He needs this. AP's got him ranked sixteenth,

1163
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: so he needs this. So I want you to listen

1164
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: to me. SMU's not going to be a top sixteen

1165
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: team this year. I still think Kevin Jennings has something

1166
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: to prove at quarterback. Y'all heard that. I still think

1167
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: he does. Defense was thirty second in points per game

1168
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: last year, twenty sixth then yards per game, and now

1169
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: they got all transfers on their front. I think they

1170
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,439
Speaker 1: may fall off a little bit. They're at Clemson this year.

1171
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: Regular season, they got Miami, they got Louisville, they got

1172
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: TCU and Baylor. Good for them, by the way, for

1173
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: scheduling up and out of conference play. I just think

1174
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the record is going to really struggle to match last

1175
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: year's record, and yet they're being ranked like people still

1176
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: expect him to be right back there in the mix.

1177
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: I think maybe just a little bit of a dip

1178
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: this year, but overall, I like the trajectory of the program.

1179
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: But again, there's been so much spotlight on Rhet Lashly.

1180
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: Someone's got to doubt this man, and I'm doing him

1181
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: a favor. I'll be the one who doubts him. If

1182
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: you disagree with me, though, FanDuel is where you can go.

1183
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they've got odds for everyone over there

1184
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: right now. In fact, I know they do. So they

1185
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: got SMU odds to make the playoff. You can go.

1186
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: You can go basically fade me. We sucked in Week

1187
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: one last year, so maybe you do want to fade

1188
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: me in week one. Don't do that. Don't do that

1189
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 1: to yourself, because if we're celebrating around here, I don't

1190
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: want you to be the little koala over in the

1191
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: corner just kind of shaming itself. You know that male

1192
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: koalas when they don't find a mate, they just kind

1193
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: of slump over in the tree saw on an Instagram video,

1194
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: which means that's got to be true. Sad has nothing

1195
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: to do with FanDuel though, But I'll tell you what

1196
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: does that QR code right there? Or FanDuel dim slash

1197
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Josh paate? Why am I telling you that website? Because

1198
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: if you bet any college football game in Week zero,

1199
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm getting you a fifty percent profit boost token. Now,

1200
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: there is one limitation on this. You can't just go

1201
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: bet a minus twelve hundred money line favorite minus two

1202
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: hundred is the limit on the juice there. But as

1203
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: long as you go find a bet where it's minus

1204
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: two hundred odds or better and you win, you're getting

1205
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:33,919
Speaker 1: a fifty percent profit boost token. So that's wonderful. It's

1206
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: borderline free money. It is free money if you win.

1207
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: So this is not for new customers only. This is

1208
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: for everyone, so make sure you check that out. Fan Duel,

1209
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: the exclusive odds provider. This time next week, we'll be

1210
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: headed to Columbus, Ohio, getting ready for Friday night lines

1211
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: from a nondescript hotel room. It's dirty, it's grimy, it's

1212
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: it's just it's the greatest thing we do. It's Instagram Live.

1213
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: I know, we got a lot of new viewers just

1214
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: quickly to walk you through what we do, and then

1215
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: we got to do bold predictions, and then I got

1216
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: to make a major announcement, and then we got to

1217
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: go home. Every Friday night in the fall, I get

1218
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: checked into my hotel room in the city that is

1219
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: where the game that we're going to is at. And

1220
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: then I prop the eye Josh up, I go live

1221
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram at Josh pat CFB. I pull the model up,

1222
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I pull the FanDuel numbers up, and I tell you

1223
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: the ram Noodle Express best bets. And also I take

1224
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: the live chat and like a lot of you ask, hey,

1225
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: what about the Utah game. I'm telling you, well, I'm

1226
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: not betting on the Utah game, but I will tell

1227
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 1: you what the model thinks about the Utah game. And

1228
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: it's that for like twenty minutes. And then normally I

1229
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: order my Uber Eats right as I start the live stream,

1230
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: So about the time my food gets there, that's about

1231
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: the time I want to wrap it up. It is.

Speaker 1: Bold Predictions. We pushed this for two shows and it

1250
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 1: is the boldest batch of predictions we've ever had. Bold

1251
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: Prediction number one. I have no clue how this would happen.

1252
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Brian from Magnolia Texas. Arch Manning will not live up

1253
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: to the hype he enters the transfer portal after this season. Okay,

1254
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 1: this is not going to happen. I made it a

1255
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: nine point seven to five and the only reason it's

1256
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: not a ten is because there is this once in

1257
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: a blue moon shot where Arch is just he bombs

1258
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: and it's like a sympathy transfer, like he leaves because

1259
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: he can't be the starter at Texas. That's not gonna happen.

1260
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: And then the other one would be if Sark goes

1261
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: somewhere and Arch only wanted to play for him. That

1262
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: also is not going to happen, so don't This is

1263
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: a nine point seventy five bordering on a ten. Next. Now,

1264
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: the next one I got at nine point seven five

1265
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: is well Chase from Indianapolis. Ohio State and Notre Dame

1266
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: rematch for the National Championship. On the surface, these are

1267
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: two teams that are expected to compete. Ohio State's got

1268
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: the third best odds to win it all. Notre Dame's

1269
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: got the seven the best odds I think to win

1270
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: it all. So that's not crazy that either of them

1271
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: would be back in the National title game. But think

1272
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: about what he just predicted. They're gonna face off in

1273
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: the National Championship game, which means they both got to

1274
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: make the playoff, They've got to line up on exact

1275
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: opposite sides of the bracket, and then they both got

1276
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: to win multiple games to make it all the way

1277
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: and just the confluence of all that happening is a

1278
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: very long shot. So I'm making that a nine point

1279
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: seventy five. Next up, this is a ten. John from Tampa,

1280
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: Florida State bounces back this year. They win against Alabama

1281
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: in Week one, and then they win against either Georgia

1282
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: Tech or SMU in the ACC Championship game. Okay, so

1283
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: let's break this down. First, they got to beat Bama.

1284
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: They are a thirteen and a half point home underdog

1285
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: against Alabama right now according to FanDuel. Okay, so that

1286
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: alone is like a nine on the boldness scale. But

1287
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: he continued, then they're gonna go to the ACC Championship Game.

1288
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: They've got the seventh best odds to win it. They're

1289
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: gonna go to the ACC Championship Game and win it.

1290
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: And the team they're gonna beats either Georgia Tech or SMU,

1291
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: fifth best odds and fourth best odds teams there. So

1292
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: there's there's no Miami, there's no Clemson, there's no Louisville.

1293
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 1: So somehow Florida State's got to be able to beat Alabama.

1294
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: They got to make it at the conference title game.

1295
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 1: No Miami, Clemson, or Louisville there. It's got to be

1296
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech or SMU and they've got to beat them.

1297
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: That is a ten if that happens, Chalice of Supremacy

1298
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: headed your way. And lastly, Austin from Salt Lake City, Utah,

1299
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders and Colorado have another nine plus win season,

1300
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: establishing his credibility as a college football head coach. Caden

1301
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: Salter has a bounce back year. He's a Heisman finalist.

1302
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: That's a nine point seven to five as well. They're

1303
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: over underwent totals five and a half, so we're going

1304
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 1: four games over that. They did it last year, but

1305
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: with much better talent. So they lost Travis Hunter, they

1306
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: lost the door. Even if they do win nine games,

1307
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: you also got to have Caden Salter as a Heisman finalist,

1308
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: and although he's probably going to start for them to

1309
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: start the year, we don't know if he's even going

1310
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: to start the whole year. Plus he's been an injury

1311
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: prone player. So they could win nine and it would

1312
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: be great. And this prediction still falls flat because he

1313
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: doesn't make it to New York City. So that's a

1314
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: nine point seventy five for me, very very bold batch

1315
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: of predictions. Tonight, I'm very excited because the show's almost over.

1316
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: There's one more thing we have to do. Been a

1317
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: lot of announcements around here, and one of the announcements

1318
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 1: I've kind of hinted at, but in the interest of

1319
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: not self aggrandizing too much, because we all know that

1320
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: we would never do that around here. I've kept this

1321
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: one sort of close to the vest. But any of

1322
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: you who have been trying to buy T shirts from

1323
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: the pet State store lately have realized there's no Pate

1324
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: State store. That's true. We took it down and then

1325
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: we tore it down to the studs and we built

1326
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: it back from scratch, and we've had some of the

1327
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: best in the business working on it, and I can

1328
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: proudly announce that as of eight minutes ago, we're good
