1
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Dad Walking to the Lake is live. It is Thursday night, November.

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: The over Lord twenty twenty two. The biggest conundrum in

3
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: college football in twenty twenty two has nothing.

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: Whatsoever could do with the playoff.

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: We are jampacked high top a temperate downtown Nashville, Tennessee,

6
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: sunny and seventy seven degrees today. I've got upset alerts tonight.

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: The upset alert meter is kind of ping, ping, ping,

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: and all over the place. We'll talk about several games.

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: I've got more games to predict. I'm gonna get you

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: some Notre Dame Clemson love tonight, some Florida A and

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: M love tonight. Believe it or not, not, every game

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: has to have a playoff.

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: Backdrop for it to matter.

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: I've got an ethics bomb that is going to divide

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: our entire community just a few minutes away.

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: Do you follow me on socials? You already know what

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking about.

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: No answers have been arrived at, no conclude illusions have

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: been drawn yet. Pull out your fan and go ahead

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: and start fanning yourself for this one. Also, I've got

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: several best bets. We're already two and oh the Raminudle Express.

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: It's only Thursday. We're already two and o this week.

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Akron, Ohio. Cave Spring, Georgia, Humble, Texas.

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: The h is silent and rustin or Ruskin, Florida could

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: be a rusting down there too. We are at one

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three thousand subs on the YouTube channel.

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: Basically every time I talk to you, we've added another

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: one to two thousand subs. First thing we wanted to

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: do was we wanted to get to one hundred and

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: fifty k by New Year's Then we adjusted to Christmas,

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: Then we briefly adjusted to my parents' anniversary, which is

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: mid December. Colin thinks we can get there by Thanksgiving.

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: And by there I mean one hundred and fifty thousand subs.

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: You're doing your part.

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: I asked you just sub and like and we can

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: keep all of this free.

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: I think we're well on our way.

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: So one hundred and fifty thousand subs, that's where we

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: want to get. Tell your family, tell your friends, tell

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: your aunts, tell everyone the next door neighbor. They probably

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: like college football. At the very least they have internet,

42
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: So let's get that done. I appreciate you guys so

43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: much for doing that the Thursday show. We normally go

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: all over the place, right, and we're what we're going

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: to do that tonight, So buckle in.

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: We got a fun one for you.

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Upset Alert Meter. We got games all over the place

48
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: happening this week. You got two really big ones, right,

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: You got Tennessee and Alabama going on the road, and

50
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee versus Georgia and Alabama versus LSU.

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: And yet there is a strong.

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: Undercurrent of games out there that of course aren't on

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: the playoff radar, the national radar.

54
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: Therefore they don't matter.

55
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Well, they matter very much around here because some of

56
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: them could bring upsets that shake up that precious playoff

57
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: picture everyone wants to talk about on Tuesday. But I'm

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: going to get to some games that are just big

59
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: for other reasons. The upset Alert Meter scale of one

60
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: to ten. How much should the favorite be on alert?

61
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: Here?

62
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: Liberty at Arkansas? What would you guess the line was

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: on this game? Arkansas is favored by two touchdowns at home.

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: This is let's just let's not kid ourselves. This is

65
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: an open job audition again for Hugh Freeze.

66
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: There are some.

67
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Jobs coming open you're gonna hear his name in and

68
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: around the Auburn opening either some chatter around West Virginia

69
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: if it were to come open in which it's not yet.

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: But Hugh Freese and Liberty the head coach there for

71
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: now going on the road. They are a two touchdown

72
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: dog the Liberty defense. How much can you attack them? Well,

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: they're third in FBS in sacks per game. They are

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: seventh in FBS in takeaways. Translation, I think Kendall Browse

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: may run the ball fifty times this weekend. Now, they

76
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: have a decent run defense statistically at Liberty.

77
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: I think Sam Pittman and.

78
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: His team will simply look across the field and say

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: they can't hold up against us for four quarters, and

80
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I think he's right. And the other thing that we

81
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: know to be the way to attack Arkansas is through

82
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: the air, and Liberty just doesn't possess that offense this year.

83
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 2: You may not have watched them.

84
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: They don't have that quick stripe through the air kind

85
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: of vertical pass game that in some years they've had

86
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: under Hu Freeze. So I'm gonna put this at a five. Okay,

87
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: it's a formidable opponent. I think formidable enough where Arkansas

88
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: will take them seriously. So I'm gonna say it's a

89
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: five on the upset alert meter. Moving on game, we

90
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: already talked about. Our full Tennessee Georgia preview is on

91
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: the channel. It's about to pass one hundred thousand views.

92
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: By the way.

93
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: We will be in Sanford Stadium. We will be on

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: the sideline for this game. And although I do this

95
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: every week, I want you to rest assured of many things.

96
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: We don't ever get used to this around here, and

97
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: I will never take that stuff for granted. I don't

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: care if you put me on the top row of

99
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: the stadium, because I know a lot of you are

100
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: spending a lot of money in some cases that you

101
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: don't have just to get in this thing. So the

102
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: fact that we get to do what we do is

103
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: really incredible. It's also why you don't ever catch us

104
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: calling what we do work, so that's not work. We

105
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: get to do for a job what most people would

106
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: do for fun. Let's look at the numbernumber thirty in

107
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: this game. The number thirty, what does that mean? Jesse

108
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: walks in and he.

109
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: He said, paper pop, paper pop. Here, here you go, Jesse,

110
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: there's your authentic paper pop he said, let me tell

111
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: you about the number thirty.

112
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee thirty plus points their last eleven games. I said,

113
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: that's impressive, Jesse, I know they can score though.

114
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: He said, hold on. He put his index finger to

115
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: my lips.

116
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Shh, not done yet. And I said, Jesse, wash your hands,

117
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: and he said, listen to me. Georgia twenty two of

118
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: their last twenty three games have held the opposition under

119
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: thirty points. Of course, the one being the game that

120
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: I would look at if I were Tennessee as a

121
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: blueprint to beat Georgia, and that was the SEC Championship

122
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: game last year. So the number thirty something's got to

123
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: give there, right, Georgia favored by eight? Even as we

124
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: sit here on this Thursday night, people swore to me

125
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday, guys, people swore to me, ooh, that

126
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: line is not going to stay above seven for very long.

127
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 2: Well maybe you're right, but it's still there now.

128
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: So everyone who's ultra confident in Tennessee money line, go

129
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: ahead and grab those points while you're at it. Is

130
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: a fast start imperative for Tennessee, is it imperative? I

131
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: was talking to Jake Row, who doesn't work here.

132
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: Anymore. I don't know if I'm supposed to mention his name.

133
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: And I was talking to Jake Row today and we

134
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: were kind of just tossing some thoughts back and forth

135
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: about how we think the game's gonna go. And I

136
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: talked about the fast start that Tennessee had against Alabama,

137
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: of course, and then sometimes what you can forget is

138
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: there was a twenty five to six Alabama run baked

139
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 1: into that game, but it had to be there because

140
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee got the big lead. So you look at Georgia

141
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: and I know there's an anonymous coach feature they do

142
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: on ESPN dot com where some anonymous coach said he

143
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee hangs fifty on Georgia. Georgia's

144
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: is not fast enough. Those receivers are gonna run by

145
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: that secondary all day.

146
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: Hats off to him. If they do, hats off to him.

147
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: I think there is a very.

148
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: Decent chance that Tennessee wins this game and pulls the upset.

149
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: I've got Georgia win in the game close, But if

150
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: they don't achieve the fast start here, I really wonder

151
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: if it's in the cards for Tennessee to hit their

152
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: stride in the second or third quarter, because I think

153
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: far more likely for them to pull the upset is

154
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: a scenario similar to the Alabama game where they jump

155
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: out ahead and then you trade punches and then you're

156
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: there in the end and hopefully you can make some

157
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: big plays. But we talked a lot about a Tennessee

158
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: fast start the other night. What if it's Georgia thirteen

159
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: to nothing, fourteen to nothing early on is you're certainly

160
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: not out of the game. But if they can work

161
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: you through that script and they got home field at

162
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: their back, it's an infinitely tougher challenge. Having said that,

163
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm putting a nine on this game. The upset Alert

164
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: meter is pegged. This is the toughest game for Georgia

165
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: all year. It's the most unique challenge all year. Thought

166
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: it was pretty interesting, not surprising, but interesting listening to

167
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: Kirby earlier this week talking about how they were prioritizing

168
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: conditioning all the way back in the summer because of

169
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: this game, and he admitted a lot of the game

170
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: we have not needed it like we will in this game.

171
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: But if you go back and you watch a number

172
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: of teams that Tennessee's played but the Bama game is

173
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: the most high profile. It's so crazy what sucking wind

174
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: a little bit in the third or fourth quarter does

175
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 1: just It doesn't take much, guys.

176
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: It takes one guy not fitting the gap the right way.

177
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: It takes you.

178
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: Being one step late, it takes your eyes getting lazy

179
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: for a split second. And Jalen Hyatt goes sixty yards

180
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: to the end zone. Because even though it seems like

181
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,239
Speaker 1: those are small margins, they lead to such big differences

182
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: in the outcome of a game. And yet you've got

183
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: Shuman up there, and you've got Kirby Smart obviously as

184
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: the head coach, and you've got Will must Champ just

185
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: kind of hanging out in Athens. So there are a

186
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: lot of really good defensive minds up there. I'm interested

187
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: to see what they throw at Tennessee. They know what

188
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: the challenge is. So I'm putting a nine on that one.

189
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: It's the closest, it's the most threatened. Georgia should be

190
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: all year, at least as we sit here pregame, Florida

191
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: State plays Miami Saturday. I cannot wait, friends for us

192
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: to get down the road a little ways, and that'd

193
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: be one of the feature games of this weekend. It's

194
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: rightful place, by the way, judging by history as being

195
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: one of the future games of the weekend as we

196
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: sit here and now it's a five and three team

197
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: against the four and fourteen. I was checking out inside

198
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: the U dot Com earlier today and David Lake had

199
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: an interesting update on the.

200
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: Quarterback situation from Miami.

201
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, it didn't look like Tyler Van

202
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: Dyke was going to be able to go, and Mario

203
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Christabaul has been given updates about him last couple of weeks.

204
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: He's been injured, he's been out well.

205
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Now they're optimistic as we've gotten a little bit later

206
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: in the week closer to the game, David Lake said,

207
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of people around that program are echoing

208
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: the sentiment that it looks like they're going to try

209
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: and give it a go with Tyler Van Dyke, which

210
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: obviously leads to the new set of questions of what

211
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: kind of caliber quarterback player we're going to get from Miami.

212
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: I can tell you the model loves Florida State here,

213
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not totally sure we won't end up betting them,

214
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: but I would prefer for you to tune into Friday

215
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: Night lines to if we're gonna bet them, because we're

216
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: not going to do it tonight. There is a seven

217
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: and a half sitting out there right now as the

218
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: consensus line, so it makes no sense for us to

219
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: lay that right now, especially if I'm on the fence

220
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: about the game. We do have several best bets coming later,

221
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: but that's not one of them tonight. Miami's won four

222
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: of the last five here, fsu. I think is just

223
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: they are a significantly better team, or they have been

224
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: so far this year. Now, if you get some sudden

225
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: spark with Tyler Van Dyke coming back, anything's in play.

226
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a game where clearly there's no

227
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: superior clearly superior squad, so anything's in play. I'm gonna

228
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: say this is a six. Florida State's favored by seven

229
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: and a half. It's on the road at Miami. I'm

230
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna say it's a six on the upset alert scale.

231
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: Clearly it's in the cards there, And think about what

232
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: that would mean from Miami. You've got a four and

233
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: four team right now, they've felt dead in the water.

234
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: If they were to beat Florida State all of a sudden,

235
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: that's like taking the shock panels to the chest of

236
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: that team, not the program, but the team, and all

237
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there five and four, and they've got

238
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech next week. They could get Bowl eligible before

239
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: they go to Clemson and then play pitt to end

240
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: the year. So it would be a huge upset for

241
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: a number of reasons for Miami. The last one I

242
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on is a game that we've also

243
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: already broken down, and it's Bama LSU. Bama right now

244
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: is favored by thirteen and a half, and all I've

245
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: been told all week is how there's a lot of points.

246
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Now I told you the other night, I think it's

247
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: a really bad matchup for LSU. I feel that way still,

248
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: and I got a hat tip our friends over on

249
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Go twenty four to seven. The LSU fan base has

250
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: been one of the best fan bases in the world

251
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: to us, and I mean long before I got to

252
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: CBS in twenty four to seven, back when we were

253
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: doing this thing independent, back in twenty eighteen and twenty

254
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: nineteen in Columbus, Georgia.

255
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: There was no reason for the LSU fan base to.

256
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Adopt us, and yet they did. And so I've always

257
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: had a very very special place, like a little purple

258
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: splotch in my heart for LSU. Having said that, when

259
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: you pick against LSU, normally those folks rip you to pieces.

260
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: And yet I go over to the Go twenty four

261
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: to seven board earlier today and there is a two

262
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: to three page deep thread showing our prediction video from

263
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: the other night where I picked Alabama to win and

264
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: cover against LSU. There wasn't one negative comment, not one,

265
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: almost to the point where I worry, are they pulling

266
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: too many punches over there?

267
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: Which is very unlike our friends over on the go

268
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven boards. So guys, this is okay

269
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: to take shots.

270
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: In fact, I would just for my own amusement insanity,

271
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: I wish you'd take a couple of shots at me.

272
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: Just do it so I can feel better about myself.

273
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a four point two five on the

274
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: upset alert meter here. Why even though I don't like

275
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: the matchup, who cares? I didn't like the matchup against Texas,

276
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: and Texas almost beat Bama. So we got Bama going

277
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: on the road, which is its own set of obstacles

278
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: these days, as it turns out, and I will continue

279
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: to say that until we otherwise, as we show highlights

280
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: from a video from a game where they kind of

281
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: pulled away against Arkansas, but we remember very recently several

282
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: examples where they've been shaken on the road. You know

283
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: what the most forgotten game in the world has been

284
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: with all these big teams is the LSU game last

285
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: year with Alabama not doing the comparative thing. One year

286
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter relative to the next one, But last year,

287
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: I want you to keep in mind. Alabama, as it

288
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: turns out, is in route to a season that will

289
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: see them win the SEC Championship, go to the playoff

290
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: and beat Cincinnati, and then lead Georgia again in the

291
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the National title game, they almost.

292
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: Got beat by LSU.

293
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: LSU had the ball in plus territory last year in Tuscaloosa,

294
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: with a chance to win. And this is already after

295
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: they've announced Orgeron's going to be fired.

296
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got like what.

297
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: Forty to forty five fifty scholarship players left. I mean

298
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: they were they were a team that had no business

299
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: whatsoever competing.

300
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: The line was in like the four touchdown range. And

301
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: yet there's.

302
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: LSU just like inexplicably with an opportunity to win the game.

303
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: The reason I'm mentioning that is not because I'm necessarily

304
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: taking anything from that game last year to this game

305
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: this year.

306
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if.

307
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: That corpse of a team that limped to the finish

308
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: line last year could push Bama to the wire in Tuscaloosa,

309
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: absolutely this can happen. I don't need to have a path.

310
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: I know they had to run the ball worth anything.

311
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: I know it's not a good matchup. I know that

312
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: pass rush should harass Jaden Daniels all night.

313
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: I know all of these things. But yet I've also

314
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: said I think I know some things about Bama and

315
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: these road.

316
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: Spots in the past couple of years, and we've ended

317
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: up being wrong because they just haven't been a disciplined

318
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: and dominant unit on the road.

319
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: One of those has to come before the other. So

320
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put a you know what, Jesse, I'm gonna

321
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: go higher. I'm gonna go five.

322
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: It's a five on the upset Alert meter. It's gonna

323
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: be well worth watching. And also, you know me, I

324
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: keep up with the weather, so you don't have to

325
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: a one hundred percent chance of thunderstorms in Baton Rouge

326
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: this Saturday here could be the saving grace. First off,

327
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: it's a fact it never rains in Tiger Stadium.

328
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: That's undeniable.

329
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm in the second and more real sense. It looks

330
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: like some of that action could get out of there

331
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: before game time. But you better cross your fingers because

332
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about heavy rain. I'm talking about

333
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: the kind of convective activity that could maybe delay your game.

334
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: So let's push all that out, all of us together,

335
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: so that maybe you have some some scattered showers and

336
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: storms that you can find a bubble to work a game.

337
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: In in between later that night.

338
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: Huge weekend in college football. All right there, Colin, there's

339
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: your out. And then also huge weekend in Houston, Texas.

340
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: I had one of you send me a screen shot

341
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: today of your not an eye Josh, because they only

342
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: make one of them, but it was your iPhone and

343
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: there was a screenshot of your alarms and you had

344
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: your school and you know your work schedule. But someone

345
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: sent me a screenshot of their alarm clock and it

346
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: was already set for Saturday, and it set Academy grand

347
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: opening in Houston. That's dedication. That is chalice of Supremacy

348
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: worthy shall I of Supremacy will be on the line Saturday.

349
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: You can't buy them anywhere. You could offer me a

350
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: billion dollars, I'd probably cave. But if you only offered

351
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: me a million, I'm not giving you a chalice of supremacy.

352
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: You got to earn them.

353
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: And if you go to the grand opening in Houston

354
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: eighty seven fifteen West Loop South, Academy Sports and Outdoors

355
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: opening a new location in the Houston area this weekend,

356
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: and you prove to me you were there, I'll take

357
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: a screenshot of a receipt. I'll take pictures of you

358
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: in the park a lot. I don't care if you

359
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: sit in a buggy and someone pushes you up and

360
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: down the aisle. Management may, but I don't care. You

361
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: send it to me, and ten of you are going

362
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: to have a chalice of Supremacy sent to you. Academy

363
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors are one and only partner. We are exclusive,

364
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: totally monogamous. We don't mess around with other brands around here.

365
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: I won't even tell you which brand of liquid is

366
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: in my chalice here of supremacy. Why because Academy doesn't

367
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: make drinks and so that's not from Academy. That's just

368
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: that's old store bought questionable liquids that we put in

369
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: the chalice of supremacy. But ask for Academy Sports and Outdoors.

370
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: They help us out immensely. They make this entire thing possible.

371
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: They make this entire thing free. We get to present

372
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: it however we want to you, And so even if

373
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: you're not in Houston, check them out this weekend. And

374
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: if you can't get there in person, Academy dot com

375
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: is your hookup.

376
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: Thank you, eternally grateful for our friends at Academy Sports

377
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 2: and Outdoors. I'm gonna be in Athens. I'm headed down

378
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: there tomorrow.

379
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: I will have Academy gift cards with me, So do

380
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: not hesitate to walk up, shake my hand, ask me

381
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: how I'm doing, and then ask for one, because chances

382
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: are I'll have some in my pocket. Did you know

383
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: Clemson plays Notre Dame this Saturday night? Did you know

384
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: the line is three and a half undefeated. This is

385
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: not a two or three lost team. This is not

386
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: some team that has been cast into college football's ditch

387
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: over here and better luck next year, guys. They are

388
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: smack dab in the middle of the playoff hunt, and

389
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: according to oddsmakers out there, got a real shot to

390
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: lose this weekend against five and three Notre Dame.

391
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: What do we make of this? Clumbs is coming off.

392
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: Of bye by the way, and yet here they are.

393
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: I know you're confused by that line. I know you're

394
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: a little confused. And the fact that it hasn't shot

395
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: up this week, A lot of you are puzzled. Dare

396
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: I say perturbed? Notre Dames face three ranked teams this year.

397
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: They are two and one straight up and three and

398
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: zero against the spread. Against those teams a ray of

399
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: sunshine and then here comes the cloud to cover up

400
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: all the sun. Notre Dame zero to four against the

401
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: spread at home. This game will be played in South Bend.

402
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: Rumor on the street has quired a few clums and

403
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: Tigers are making the drive up there. If you could

404
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: afford this ticket, be real, you're probably flying. But I

405
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: expect a healthy portion, a smattering more than just a

406
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: smattering of orange and white around the crowd there. The

407
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: last time we saw Clemson, what was happening? Do you remember?

408
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: This sport tends to make your mind a little foggy.

409
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: I'll I'll refresh your memory. You saw Clemson, according to

410
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: a lot of you, luck up and end up beating

411
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: Syracuse twenty seven to twenty one. A lot of you

412
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: think that that was referee aided. I don't care because

413
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: I see horrific officiating all over this great land of

414
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: ours every week, so you benefit from it one week,

415
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: they may get jilted by it this weekend. Cad Klubnik

416
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: replaced Dj Luiangoli lay.

417
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: In that game.

418
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: That was the noteworthy takeaway, and then Dabbo afterwards said

419
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: DJ is still our leader, He's still our starter, so

420
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: we have every reason to believe that DJ will start

421
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: this game.

422
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: This in years past has.

423
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: Been the moment where if Clemson's gonna end up being

424
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: a great team and not just a really good team,

425
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: they start to click. It still very much remains to

426
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: be seen whether this particular version of Clemson has the

427
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: ability to climb the final a couple of rungs on

428
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: that ladder, because I would argue, relative to their vintage teams,

429
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: there's still a couple of notches below that. However, let's

430
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: also not ignore there may not be an elite team

431
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: in college football this year. We're getting this argument a

432
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: lot like Tennessee is not twenty nineteen LSU. What if

433
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: you don't have to be that good to win the

434
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: title this year? Well, this Bama team's not even close

435
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: to their twenty seventeen or twenty twenty version of themselves.

436
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: What if you don't have to be that good to

437
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: win a title this year? And likewise with Clemson or

438
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 1: that Trevor Lawrence version would shred this Clemson team? What

439
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: if you don't have to be that good? Who knows

440
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: who's elite right now?

441
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: I know what the top five look like. Which one

442
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 2: of them is elite?

443
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: So keep that in mind as we ask ourselves how

444
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: much better Clemson has to get. First thing they got

445
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: to do is win this game, though, because if they lose,

446
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like at the moment, it doesn't look

447
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: like the path is all that great for them to

448
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: be in the playoff. Here's the million dollar question in

449
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: this game. Where does Notre Dame find enough offense lines

450
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: three and a half? That's great, But where do they

451
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: find the offense? Clemson defensively their top ten in like

452
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: most every major statistical category, rush yards per attempt, rushing

453
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed. Though they shut you down on the ground,

454
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: and doubly especially shut you down if you can't threaten

455
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: them through the air. This reeks to me of like

456
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: the NC State game two point zero. Actually, NC State

457
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: was probably a little better at quarterback than Notre Dame

458
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: is with Drew Pine, and we saw what happened to

459
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: NC State. So Drew Pine his last three starts. You

460
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: see that number, forty nine percent completion percentage, that's good

461
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: for one twenty five in FBS. It's just not going

462
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: to work against Clemson. So I'm not saying there's not

463
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: a path. I'm just saying, as I always say, if

464
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: you can bring me a model that forecasts things like

465
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: your average starting field position being plus fifteen yards better

466
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: than your average, or you being plus three turnovers and

467
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 1: you scoring twice on special teams, that sort of thing

468
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: will greatly help me. I don't think you can forecast that,

469
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: And so outside of that, I just don't know where

470
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: they find the offense. I mean, Clemsons could put up

471
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: like twenty three points here and be good to go,

472
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: because I don't know where Notre Dame gets the offense. However,

473
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: weather could be a factor in this game too, But

474
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: even if it's not, I'm thinking about where the mentality

475
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: is with that Clemson team right now. And the last

476
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: thing you saw is your quarterback sort of sort of

477
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: lose a little bit and you had to put in

478
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: the backup. And so you go into a bye week,

479
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: hopefully you got it all cleaned up. You come out

480
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: of the bye week, you're facing a pretty good defensive

481
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: unit here in Notre Dame. Stiff challenge on the road.

482
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: The total in this game is in the mid forties

483
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: for a reason. If you don't have early success and

484
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: you go into a shell and you refuse to be aggressive,

485
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: they can win because you insert so much variance at

486
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: that point into the game. You're not letting your talent

487
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: take over, and as a result, you limit both team's possessions,

488
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: and at that point one balance of the ball is

489
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: disproportionately more likely to beat you. Notre Dame may not

490
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: hit you for six or seven plays of twenty plus yards,

491
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: but if you make it that kind of game, one

492
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: or two of those plays could end up beating you.

493
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: And it's not nineteen twenty seven. Anyone can hit one

494
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: or two of those plays. Let's take a look at

495
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: what the model thinks Clemson minus three and a half

496
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: in the Vegas market right now, pretty consensus. The model

497
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: leans Clemson at minus five and a half, and look,

498
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: I gotta absence some more data.

499
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: Roll with the model here. I like Clemson to win.

500
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna pull away necessarily, or if

501
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: they do, I think it looks something like twenty four

502
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: to three. But I think they're going to do enough

503
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: to win, and I also think they're going to cover.

504
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: So I just don't know where the offense comes from

505
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. Let's open the mail bag for just

506
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: a second. I want to let you know they're watching

507
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: us in Albertville, Alabama, I believe is home to an

508
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: extremely wealthy Auburn booster big in the lumber market.

509
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: Edmunds, Washington is washing Richmond, Virginia is also tuned in.

510
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys. Let's go into the mailbag.

511
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: Looking really forward to getting back to Georgia tomorrow, or

512
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: as I like to call it home. Daniel asked, do

513
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: Georgia fans understand that if they lose this game against Tennessee,

514
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: they lose their shot at a national championship From Conway,

515
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: South Carolina. First question, do we all believe that's true.

516
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: Maybe some of you haven't thought about it, and that's

517
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: a little shot to the senses. Well, let's think about it.

518
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: That's what we're here for. It's Thursday night. We got

519
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: a little time. Do we believe that? Do we believe

520
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: that Georgia has to win against Tennessee or they're just

521
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: out of the playoff. That's the way we normally talk

522
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: about Clemson, since we just predicted their game this week,

523
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: because normally Clemson has a pretty relatively weak strength of

524
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: schedule and it's just assumed they need to go undefeated

525
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: to make it in and they do a lot of

526
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: the time. Well, Georgia could be in that boat right now.

527
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the schedule. Here.

528
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: They got the Oregon win, which looks extremely impressive in

529
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: week one, and then a whole lot of nothing as

530
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: it relates to what the committee would think, and then

531
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: they got Tennessee this week. If they lose against Tennessee

532
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: at home, you got Mississippi State, Kentucky, Georgia Tech. Your

533
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: problem is you would need Tennessee to lose twice if

534
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: you're going to make it to Atlanta. So let's just

535
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 1: ask ourselves, what are the paths here because I think

536
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: it's a pretty worthwhile question to discuss, and we're in

537
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: November now, so we're not too far away from this.

538
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: The case for a one lost Georgia. If Georgia loses

539
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: this weekend, that's the premise. What are the cases for

540
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: them making the playoffs? Well, the first one is somehow

541
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: they still win the SEC East, they go to Atlanta,

542
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: they win the SEC title.

543
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 2: That's virtually impossible.

544
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: Thus Tennessee would have to lose two games from Missouri,

545
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: South Carolina and Vandy, which is just not happening. So

546
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: absent that we then have to ask ourselves, Let's say

547
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: Georgia finished it first off, they got to go the

548
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: rest of the way undefeated. Okay, let's just for arguments sake,

549
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: assume they do. They lose to Tennessee, but they go

550
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: in defeed to the rest of the way. They're eleven

551
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: to one. They're just sitting at home. They don't go

552
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. At that point, we have to take the

553
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: college football rankings, and we are the college football playoff ranks,

554
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: and we have to ask ourselves which teams are in

555
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: above a one loss non SEC champion Georgia.

556
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: And the answer is pretty clearly.

557
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: If Clemson goes twelve to zero in the ACC and

558
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: they're the champion, they're in. If TCU goes twelve to

559
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: zero in the Big Twelve, they win the conference.

560
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 2: I believe they're in.

561
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: If Ohio State or Michigan run the table, they win

562
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, they're in.

563
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 2: The follow up question is what does.

564
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: The Committee do with a one loss Ohio State that's

565
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: in Georgia is shoes They don't go to their own

566
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: conference title game, or Michigan one lost Michigan doesn't go

567
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: to the Big Ten title game? How do they compare?

568
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: That's where that Oregon win could.

569
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: Be very, very important in the SEC though. Here's the

570
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: disaster scenario for Georgia. The disaster scenario.

571
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: Is Alabama runs through the rest of their slate, Bama

572
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: goes to Atlanta and they beat Tennessee in a rematch,

573
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: because at that point, the committee's taken Bama and they're

574
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: far more likely to take Tennessee over you, so and

575
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: they're certainly not taking three SEC teams, so that would

576
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: be bad. So you need to root against Bama. If

577
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee beat you, you need to pull for Tennessee to

578
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: win by a million the rest of the way, and

579
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: you need to grab onder their coattails. What a world

580
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: we would be living in where we're using language like

581
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: Georgia needs to hold onto Tennessee's coattails. That seems so

582
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: so far away as even a remote possibility at the

583
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: beginning of this year.

584
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: So the PAC twelve is the other one.

585
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: I want to look at a USC that's a one

586
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: lost PAC twelve champ. There are certain portions of this country,

587
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: and I'm not so sure some of those portions aren't

588
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: on the playoff committee. That would be frothing at the

589
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: mouth to put that USC team in there.

590
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 2: I think we all know that the.

591
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: Oregon even though Oregon's ranked higher than USC right now,

592
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: it may be I could be wrong here. It may

593
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: be a little tougher only because if Oregon's a one

594
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: loss Pack twelve champ, and that committee looks and they

595
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: say to themselves, we think a one loss PAC twelve

596
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: champ is equivalent with a one loss non SEC champ Georgia.

597
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: Then you get the head to head thing which goes

598
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: against Oregon.

599
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 2: Here's my counter. I was asking Jesse this.

600
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't traffic in the playoff rankings a lot you

601
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: guys know, I truly don't care about this stuff. So

602
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: my question is the head to head's only supposed to

603
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: matter as a tie breaker, right, So if we were

604
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: to get in this hypothetical world where Oregon wins the

605
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: PAC twelve championship, therefore they are a conference champ, and

606
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: you're comparing them to Georgia, which is a non conference champ.

607
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: The only way that Oregon, having lost to Georgia, is

608
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: even supposed to enter into the equation is if the

609
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: committee says, okay, we view those two as equal, but

610
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: Georgia's strength of schedule is not strong enough to vault

611
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: them up to the same status. As the committee would

612
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: tell you, a conference champ exists that and so if

613
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't elevate Georgia to being equivalent in their mind's eye,

614
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: with a one loss PAC twelve.

615
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: Champ, it's irrelevant whether they beat him head to head.

616
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: The only way they head to head ends up mattering

617
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: is if the committee says, okay, PAC twelve champ, Oregon

618
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: one lost Georgia here, they didn't win their conference, we

619
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: still think they're equal. At that point, Georgia goes ahead

620
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: of an organ because they got the head to head,

621
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: so it gets you really convoluted there. I don't think

622
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: to answer the question, I don't think a lot of

623
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: people have thought about this because I think, well, most

624
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: Georgia fans assume that they'll win this weekend, and therefore

625
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: they haven't let their mind really go there. They've maybe

626
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: discussed it, or they've maybe considered I don't think they've

627
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: embraced it, and they shouldn't.

628
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: They should expect to win.

629
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: But if we do have that, that would be it

630
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: would be really the huge shakeup, maybe the biggest shake

631
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: up of the season so far, only because that would

632
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: be last year's national champ.

633
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 2: Some of you would call them defending.

634
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: I just call them last year's national champ that maybe

635
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in, and it's one of the

636
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: big boys from the SEC and they've only got one loss,

637
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: and normally you're just afforded that. I'm not against it

638
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: most of the time. Your resume suggests that you can

639
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: afford one loss. But maybe not for Georgia this year.

640
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: Who knows.

641
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: Next question, we take a questionable liquid sip from the challice.

642
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 1: Jesse just said in my ear he wants you to

643
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: like and subscribe please and Colin did too, So what

644
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: do we have right now? We can do way better

645
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, please hit that thumbs up button. I

646
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: won't scratch my face because you doe. You guys have

647
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 1: been doing a great job of that. How about this question,

648
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: wood Blake hits us up. Should Drake May be a

649
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Heisman finalist? If not, what else does he have to

650
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: do to prove he should be? Drake May is killing

651
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: it at North Carolina right now. And this was a

652
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: former Alabama commit that decommitted committed to North Carolina. We

653
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: made a big deal about it at that point on

654
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: the show when we were still down in Brentwood, and

655
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: for good reason.

656
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: He's playing lights out right now.

657
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: He has numbers nearly identical at this point in the

658
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: year to what Joe Burrow had in twenty nineteen at

659
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: this point in the year. So his current standings as

660
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: an individual, I'll talk about the team in a second.

661
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: His current standings in the Heisman sort of odds hierarchy.

662
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: He's anywhere from like plus two thousand to plus four thousand,

663
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: depending on where you look.

664
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: So right here this is.

665
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: Via Caesar's he's plus two thousand. You can go to

666
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: other places, like if you wanted to bet him, I

667
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: would bet the Caesars number. I'd go find the highest

668
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: number I could. The point is, here are the guys

669
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: that would be listed ahead of him. Hendon Hooker is

670
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: the favorite right now. CJ. Stroud at Ohio State, Blake Corhum,

671
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: the running back they're at Michigan. Caleb Williams quarterback there

672
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: at USC. I said this the other day, and I'm

673
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: going to reiterate it. Hendon Hooker is the leader in

674
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 1: the clubhouse right now.

675
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: I think he should be.

676
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: There are two guys, two guys I think could make

677
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: a really big move in the Heisman odds market in

678
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: the month of November, and one of them is Drake

679
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: May and one of them is Caleb Williams. Because you

680
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: got to picture it in your mind.

681
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: You got to picture the scenario that would have to

682
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: unfold with Drake May. Right now, he's already known, but

683
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: not really nationally.

684
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: But what if just follow me here, What if all

685
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden November consisted of them continuing to be

686
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: a one lost team. They are the favorite right now

687
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: to face Clemson in the ACC Title game. What if

688
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 1: they went to the ACC Title game and he's the

689
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: one that ended up being the magic elixir. He's the

690
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: one that kind of was able to break through that

691
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 1: impenetrable Clumson defense, and he hangs like thirty five or

692
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: forty two on him and they win the ACC Championship.

693
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: That's the last thing you see from him this year,

694
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: the day before your ballot is due. Likewise, what if

695
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams November consists of usc continuing to march towards

696
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: PAC twelve championship, They beat.

697
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: UCLA in the process, they go.

698
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: To the PAC twelve championship game, maybe they beat Oregon

699
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: or whoever the North, or actually it would just be

700
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: whoever the PAC twelve sins. It's not a division thing

701
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: out there anymore. And that's the last thing you see

702
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: from him. They play on a Friday night, by the way,

703
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: so they've got forty eight hours between the last time

704
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: you would see him and the time where the ballots

705
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: are due. What I'm saying is the odds make sense

706
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: to me right now. But you've seen before guys make

707
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: a late charge, and we've some years gone into that

708
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: conference championship weekend with things still very much undecided. So

709
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: if we're in that kind of climate, Drake may absolutely

710
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: he already should be in the conversation. But if they

711
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: were to make a charge, either Drake May or Caleb Williams,

712
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: I think they could do it.

713
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got he being Drake May.

714
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: Drake May's got five games of five plus total touchdowns

715
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: this year. He's a twenty nine to three touchdown to

716
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: interception ratio guy. He averages over three hundred and thirty

717
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: yards passing per game. He's got the fifth most passing

718
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: yards in the country and North Carolina seven and one.

719
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: So absolutely he should be involved in that discussion. We

720
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: are Drake May fans on this program. Don't never let

721
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: anyone tell you otherwise. I didn't have to cough. I'm

722
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: just really trying to buy time before we get into

723
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: this next segment, some nervous energy. You can hear me

724
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: tapping on the desk right now. The show is at

725
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: a crossroads. A pure ethics bomb was dropped on us

726
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: when we least suspected it earlier this week when I

727
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: started doing this show and I suggested it should be

728
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: year round. Management's first question to me was, how can

729
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: you just assume.

730
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 2: The audience is going to be big enough?

731
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: How can you assume they're going to be there, and

732
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: I knew you'd be there because I know how crazy

733
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the college football public is. You're

734
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: not casuals. You are very much anti casuals. You were

735
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: die hard in nature. And when you list your priorities

736
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: in life, college football, for some of you doesn't go

737
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: behind anything. And for a lot of you, college football

738
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: is no further down than two or three on the

739
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: pecking order, no exceptions. Notice how emphatically I teed it

740
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 1: up there, because we have truly only a few rules

741
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: on this show. Don't lose to food, so that's anyone

742
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: who's playing Rice this week, and no fall weddings on Saturdays.

743
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: It's really a simple guide with which to live your

744
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: life by.

745
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: And I thought that we were really hard.

746
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: In fact, I didn't really think there were going to

747
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: be any exceptions ever, especially to rule number two. Maybe

748
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: one day Rice becomes a national power, but under no

749
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: circumstances are we ever going to stand on this show

750
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: for you scheduling a Saturday wedding in the fall. I

751
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: was so confident. I was so sure of myself, really

752
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: big chested. When we're making that, when we're making that proclamation,

753
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: Colin put it up, please, Then someone who has to

754
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: remain anonymous comes to me with the ethics bomb to

755
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: end all college football ethics bombs. Quote, Josh, I have

756
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: a wedding on Saturday. The girl gave me her kidney anonymously.

757
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: How do I deal with this? I asked for clarification

758
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: to be clear. You were the recipient of a kidney

759
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: from an anonymous organ donor who was then identified and

760
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: has requested your presence at her wedding Saturday. And that

761
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: is the case, ladies and gentlemen.

762
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: So what do you do?

763
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: How attached are we to our rules on this program now?

764
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: I think immediately everyone says go to the wedding. I

765
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: don't want you to do this immediately. I want you

766
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: to sit back, and I want you to just think

767
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: about things, because the more you think about it, as

768
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: I found when I put this out on Twitter yesterday,

769
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: the more questions arise. There are several unanswered questions here.

770
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: You saw the full exchange. There are several unanswered questions here,

771
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: the first of which is you know, is it her

772
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: first wedding? Like one of you immediately came at me

773
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: and said, I'll tell you how I would decide if

774
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: I go to the wedding or not. Whether she gave

775
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: me a kidney or not, is it her first wedding?

776
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: If it is, apparently that changes a lot of your minds.

777
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: I polled you guys on this. In fact, let me

778
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: bring up the most recent results. I polled you guys

779
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: on this. We have over thirteen thousand results on this poll.

780
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: If someone gives you a kidney anonymously and then they

781
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: reveal themselves and then they.

782
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: Say, can you come to my wedding?

783
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, it's on the same Saturday that

784
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee's playing Georgia.

785
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 2: Oh well, are you going to be there? What do

786
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: you do?

787
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: Fifty eight percent of you, frankly a number a little

788
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: high for our audience, said they would go to the wedding.

789
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: Yet still forty two percent of you said, I don't

790
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: care if you gave me a kidney Oregon.

791
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: Donation or not.

792
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm not missing Tennessee Georgia. I have to reiterate, this

793
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: is not a joke. This person was dead serious and

794
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: seeking my sage council on this matter. So then I

795
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: sought the feedback of you guys, and a lot of

796
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: you just wanted to know flat out is it her

797
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: first wedding, that matters to a lot of you. But

798
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: then our buddy Kevin Clark from The Ringer comes in,

799
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: and I think he may have brought forth the great

800
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: compromise of this entire conundrum, and he asked.

801
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: Does she know what he looks like?

802
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: She knows that she gave her kidney to him, but

803
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: does she know what he looks like? And Kevin says,

804
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: if she doesn't know what he looks like, it could

805
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: be time to bite the bullet and hire a paid actor,

806
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: because at that point what she doesn't know doesn't hurt her,

807
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: and she's pretty.

808
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 2: Immune to pain because she already gave up a kidney anyway.

809
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: And so someone a proxy, if you will, shows up

810
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: to the wedding in your place. You can't see inside.

811
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: There's no bar code on the kidney anyway, and all's well, it.

812
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 2: Is well right.

813
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with that, because I'm me

814
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot of you did have a problem with that,

815
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: and you started shaming him, and I'm like, hold up, now,

816
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: hold on, let's talk this through.

817
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 2: The third.

818
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: Kind of most popular form of feedback that we got

819
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: on this is Colin. In fact, could you put the

820
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: Tweetback up for a second. Maybe some of you noticed

821
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: this when you were watching the first time. I'm going

822
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: to reread it for you. There's a very important word

823
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: here and kind of, you know, kind of a clash

824
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: in what is said versus what is he said? Josh,

825
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: I have a wedding on Saturday. The girl gave me

826
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: her kidney anonymously. How do I deal with this? Well,

827
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 1: many of you came forward and said, hold up, if

828
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: she's anonymous, how in the world do you know her?

829
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: And then the speculation began, and the speculation led to

830
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: responses like this one. This is a red flag if

831
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: she gave you the kidney anonymously but then only revealed

832
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: it so that she could be a hero at her

833
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: own wedding?

834
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: Is that the kind of wedding that we want to attend?

835
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: And then many follow ups included things like did she

836
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: give you the kidney because she wants you to live?

837
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: Or what? Because if you tell her that this is

838
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: what brings you.

839
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: The most joy in life, why would you want to

840
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: peel you away from that? What good is the kidney?

841
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: At that point.

842
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I necessarily side within any of

843
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: these ideologies.

844
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: I do.

845
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to tell you which one. That's

846
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: not what we're here to do tonight. What we're here

847
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: to do tonight is celebrate organ donors. I myself am one.

848
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: We're also here to really really trying to turn anyone

849
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: from scheduling a Saturday wedding in the fall. But if

850
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: the person who donates the organ to you schedules a

851
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: Saturday wedding in the fall and invites you, we're.

852
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: Just trying to figure out how to handle it amongst ourselves.

853
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: We don't need outside council.

854
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: I really think we can circle the wagons, close the

855
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: gates here and we can figure this out amongst ourselves.

856
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let that poll stay up a little while

857
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: longer immunity, and I'm going to see if those percentages

858
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: come down or they go up, because we really got

859
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: some mainstream traction. It really mainstreamed itself yesterday. It was

860
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty for a while, and then some casuals

861
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: came in life casuals and really tried to read far

862
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: more into it than there really is. So I don't

863
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: need those votes, but your votes.

864
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: I'm very interested in.

865
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: Well, I've never seen anything like this in our comment section,

866
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: and I get some wild stuff in our comment section.

867
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: But this guy's got.

868
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 1: A kidney that he previously did not have from someone

869
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: who's request in exchange. Because apparently we're given organs conditionally.

870
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: Now is I'm giving you the kidney you come to

871
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: my wedding. I don't know if there's a repo or

872
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: a TakeBack process on major organ donation. Never been there,

873
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: hope to never be there. Respect all of you who

874
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: have been donors, although you know there are questions. I'm

875
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: just saying there are questions. Let's move on. We've got

876
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: another game that I wanted to talk about here. Actually

877
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: Chris wanted us talk about it. So I'm going to

878
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: Chris asks thoughts on Florida versus Texas A and M

879
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: this Saturday.

880
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

881
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 2: Thank you, Chris. No playoff, no problem.

882
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: There's no playoff spot on the line here, and yet

883
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,479
Speaker 1: we are perfectly fine looking forward to this game.

884
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: Now.

885
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: Someone said to me today, ooh, that's a good idea,

886
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: because that's an example of programs be about to go

887
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: in divergent directions.

888
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 2: I don't think that the A and M program.

889
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: You could say that about because Jimbo's been there five years,

890
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: Billion Napiers, He's been in town less than one year.

891
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: It's his first season, So I don't think this is

892
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: an indictment on the Florida program. If they were to lose,

893
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: they're four and four right now, they would love to

894
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: make a bowl.

895
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.

896
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: That's what you normally say about a first year's step.

897
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: But Jesse had another key number here, and I'm proud

898
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: of him. Two key numbers in one show. He said

899
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten. That's the key number in this one.

900
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: I say, tell me more, Jesse. He said, well, rush yards.

901
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: When Florida rushes for two hundred and ten yards or

902
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: more than four and oh and when they don't, they're

903
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: zero to four, which is my kind of stat That

904
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: is nice and neat. There is no wiggle room there.

905
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: Either top two ten or you lose. It's a beautiful thing.

906
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: Here is the bad news for the home team. A

907
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: and M is allowing about two hundred and thirty seven

908
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: rush yards per game over the last five games, and

909
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: most recently they gave up nearly four hundred to Ole Miss.

910
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: There's obviously the lines three and a half in favor

911
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: of A and M. So yet' a tight games expected

912
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: to be a tight game. I wonder what kind of

913
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: effort I'm getting from Florida here. There's been a lot

914
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: of off the field drama. Maybe it's a distraction, maybe

915
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: it's not. They dismissed Brenton Cox. I think they dismissed

916
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: another player. They just came off lost to Georgia, where

917
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: they rallied and then Georgia pulls away again. It's later

918
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: in the year. I don't know what kind of effort

919
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: I can get from them Saturday, and that's just unknowable.

920
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: The other part here is A and m's defensive strength

921
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: aligns perfectly with Florida's offensive weakness. Anthony Richardson has been

922
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: held under two hundred yards passing in five of eight

923
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: games this year, and A and M limits teams to

924
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: like one hundred and seventy yards through the air. So

925
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: you better be able to run it on them. That's

926
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 1: the key. You better be able to run it on them. Saturday, Texas.

927
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: A and M also with Connor Wigman, whose name I'm

928
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: gonna start pronouncing correctly from here on out. Thank you

929
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: guys for straightening me out on that they looked different

930
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: last weekend. They still lost, but they had their best

931
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: offensive showing so far. And if you're gonna get Florida

932
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: where you're gonna get them, you're gonna.

933
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 2: Get them through the air.

934
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: So I think A and M may be poised to

935
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: have themselves a pretty decent day here through the air.

936
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: This is a new and eastern kickoff, by the way,

937
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: so you don't have to wait very long. Wigman was

938
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: twenty eight of forty four, four touchdowns no picks, three

939
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty.

940
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: Eight through the air last week. Can you build on it?

941
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 2: Can you build on it?

942
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: Let's take a look with the model thinks the Vegas

943
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: number is A and M minus three and a half.

944
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: There is a very strong lead on this game. We

945
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: will end up betting this game. We're just gonna see

946
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: what the number does. A and M minus three and

947
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: a half. The model has A and M minus eight

948
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: and a half. We think it's gonna be it may

949
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: be A and M's best game of the season. The

950
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: model thinks A and M is gonna have their best

951
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: offensive output of the season. The model thinks A and

952
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: M is gonna have their best game of the season.

953
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna roll with the model. We're gonna take A

954
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: and M to win. We're going to take A and

955
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: M to cover, and we will touch on that game

956
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: again on Friday Night Lines at Late Kick Josh.

957
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 2: By the way, Friday Night Lines on Instagram.

958
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: You want to make sure you're tuned in for that,

959
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: because as many games as I'm about to give you

960
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: later in this show, we're not even close to done,

961
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: and we've started hot already. We're two and oh this week,

962
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: God bless the Mac, and we will be adding several more.

963
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: I got one more question before I give you those

964
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: best bets. I wanted to get to this one. It's

965
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: a really good question. Nathan hit us up all the

966
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: way from Jerusalem and Israel, and he said, which team

967
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 1: this year has been the most under the radar positive story.

968
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 2: I'm not limiting this to one.

969
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: I think the entire state of Kansas, which I just

970
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: returned from, should be out of their mind thrilled about

971
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: what's happened this year. Kansas is five and three right now.

972
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: They play Oklahoma State this weekend. They're five and three.

973
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: They're over underwent total was two and a half, so

974
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: they passed it. What by week three? I guess, and

975
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: they beat well. First off, they had that string of

976
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: games where they went to West Virginia and one they

977
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: went to Houston and won. They beat Duke, they beat

978
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: Iowa State, and then they had a back and forth

979
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: game with TCU that's where they lost the quarterback Daniels.

980
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: And then they had Oklahoma, they had Baylor. But there's

981
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: no blowout in those three back to back to back losses.

982
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: And they have Oklahoma State, whose most recent trip to

983
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 1: Kansas resulted in a forty eight to nothing blanking last week.

984
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: Who knows the lines up? Pick them?

985
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: Vegas is just saying, close your eyes, take hoops toever

986
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: you want to. Kansas one of the best stories in America.

987
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: I think Kansas State at six and two right now

988
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: also one of the best under the radar stories in America.

989
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: Their over win total was six and a half, so

990
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: one more win. They got a month's work at the

991
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: worth of games left. One more win and Chris Climbing

992
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: and company they get over the hump. They also have been.

993
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 2: As recently as last week without their starting quarterback. Here's

994
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: what's crazy.

995
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: Will Howard came in the week before against TCU and

996
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: played good ball. They lost he started last week, and

997
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: they just annihilated Oklahoma State as a short underdog at home,

998
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 1: annihilated him. So even with all that, I mean, losing

999
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: your quarterback, you're over into win total six and a half.

1000
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: They're sitting here six and two, the state of Kansas,

1001
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: that's been the place to be for football this year.

1002
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: What about ole Miss? Yours truly here had the under

1003
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 2: at seven and a half.

1004
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: Now, technically I guess I'm still alive because they're seven

1005
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: and one. Ole Miss has looked pretty good this year.

1006
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we got to be real.

1007
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: There is this sizeable contingent of the ole Miss fan

1008
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: base that thinks I'm anti ole Miss. At this point,

1009
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 2: I don't fight it.

1010
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: It's not true, But at this point I don't fight

1011
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: it because they have hardened their stance one way or

1012
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: the other on this Quen John Judkins has been one

1013
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: of the best stories in America. You won't have to

1014
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: you won't have to look too far an award season

1015
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: to see his name come up. And how about the

1016
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: offensive shift when they lost Jeff Levy to Oklahoma.

1017
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 2: A lot of people and when.

1018
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: I say people, I mean people I talk to coaches

1019
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,919
Speaker 1: pointed to Oxford, and they said, watch how much Lane

1020
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: struggles this year.

1021
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: Because they didn't think that.

1022
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: They did not think Jackson Dark was going to be

1023
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: the answer, and they didn't think Altmeyer was good enough

1024
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: to do what Kiffen wanted to do offensively. Well, they

1025
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: just started running the ball all over people, and they've.

1026
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 2: Done it like almost every game this year.

1027
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: They fell well off of their usual pace against LSU.

1028
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: But other than that, like I said, they just ran

1029
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: it for three ninety on A and M. They ran

1030
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: it over four hundred on Auburn.

1031
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 2: It's been impressive.

1032
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: And they're sitting at seven and one right now, and

1033
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: their destiny is still totally.

1034
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 2: In their hands.

1035
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: They got Bama coming in there next week. They're on

1036
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 1: a buy right now, So they got Bama next week.

1037
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: What about UCLA? Ucla seven and one, they're over underwin

1038
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 1: totals eight and a half because they won eight games

1039
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: last year, but before that, leading up to last year,

1040
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: three and nine, four and eight, three and four in

1041
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: the COVID year. Then they won eight games last year,

1042
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: and this was the year where we were talking about

1043
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: him a lot in the preseason, but not a whole

1044
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: lot of other people were Pack twelve p.

1045
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 2: Eight.

1046
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: And when you looked up and down the West coast

1047
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 1: and you knew Oregon was going to get a new

1048
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff, and you knew USC was getting a new

1049
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: coaching staff, you knew that you had utaught at home.

1050
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 2: It set up perfectly.

1051
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: Part of that point is irrelevant now because they faced

1052
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: that new coaching staff at Oregon and lost. They still

1053
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: have to face USC. But they beat Utah at home,

1054
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: and they're sitting here right now seven and one, and

1055
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: they go to Arizona State this week. Then they got Arizona,

1056
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: then they got Southern Cal, then they go to Cal.

1057
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: Still very much in the PAC twelve championship race, still

1058
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 1: hold their destiny in their hands. Syracuse is six and two.

1059
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: They're over undersea. Preseason win total was five, so they've

1060
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: already hit the over. They smoked Louisville to start the year,

1061
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: they beat Perdue, they beat NC State, and then they

1062
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: got close losses to Clemson and well a less close

1063
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: loss to Notre Dame. But it's almost like recalibration of expectation.

1064
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 2: You never would have expected to be competitive in either

1065
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 2: one of those games.

1066
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: You're six and two right now, and they've got they've

1067
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: got an interesting lineup of games here. They go to

1068
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: pitt they got Florida State at home, they go two Wake,

1069
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: and then they got at Boston College. If they don't

1070
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: win another game, they're Bowl eligible. And if they don't

1071
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: win another game, they have already overachieved this year. And

1072
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: the last one I wanted to talk about was TCU.

1073
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: They're not under the radar anymore. I guess I just

1074
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: still wanted to talk about them. They're over under. Preseason

1075
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: win total was six and a half, new head coach

1076
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: and sunny dikes and.

1077
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: They're eight and zer right now.

1078
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: You got Max duggan Sonny Dykes and obviously Quentin Johnson,

1079
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: who is in like every highlight that we show a TCU,

1080
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: SO Kansas, Kansas State, oh Miss, UCLA, Syracuse TCU. Those

1081
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: are the teams I circle. Those have been some really

1082
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: really good stories. All right, best bet time. I feel

1083
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: good because we're already two to zero. And that's what

1084
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: the Mac can do to you. Steve Winwood had that

1085
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: song called don't you Know what the Night Can Do?

1086
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: The follow up from US is, don't you know what

1087
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: the Mac can do? The Mac has already hit on

1088
