35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,680

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: I like that you said if you're amongst the people,

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: as if this show is exclusively framed and directed at aristocrats,

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: of course, of course, if you're with the people.

Speaker 2: If you are out with the people, let them know

45

Speaker 2: about the show so that we can continue to grow

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,559
Speaker 2: the verboler hood. Last, but certainly not least playruntheboard dot com.

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big in this week.

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: It is sixteen rivalry games, all of which have a

49
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: cool nickname or a cool trophy.

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Play rundboard dot com.

51
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: We'll give you more intel on how to get in

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: on that game. We have not determined what the prize

53
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: is going to be yet. Yeah, and it was actually

54
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: kind of fun last week to just sort of throw

55
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: random thoughts out there and then weave them together in

56
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: the end. So I have taken on that burden as

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: you are thinking up Dan, what would make sense to

58
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: use as a prize in week fourteen. Just throw the

59
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: word out. I will find a way to weave them

60
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: together in the end. We'll give out a gift card

61
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: or something fun.

62
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: You send me a link to something called an adult

63
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: swing and I did not. I did not say that.

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: My computer is telling me that it is is a

65
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: very specific kind of recreational device. I don't know what

66
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: kind of STU appropriate you're googling over there in Chicago.

67
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: But Joyce, I have no idea what that. I did

68
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: not know where that came from. I did not send

69
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: that to you.

70
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: My mother is listening.

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, where are we going? Where are we going, So

72
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: we have to come up with the prize as we're going.

73
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: You know that makes sense in alignment with our conversation.

74
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: It's our big pickup game. Yeah, yeah, we'll come up

75
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: with We'll come up with some word association here. The

76
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: deeper we get into this thing, Dan, it is rivalry

77
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: week this week, which does mean only one thing. I'm

78
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: gonna let you do the honors. If you are ever

79
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: so inclined.

00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: Ty, you have got to throw the records out, Dom

Speaker 3: out the window, dow them out the window, get them

82
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: out of here.

83
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: More and more coaches every year, every year now some

84
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: of these coach pressers that we see in the build

85
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: up to Rivalry Week, coaches start talking about, look, you

86
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: gotta throw the record.

87
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: You just got to throw the records out. Was it

88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: Jeff Brahm? This year somebody said everybody.

89
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: Somebody sent me a tweet saying, look, you just got

90
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: to throw the records out in this rivalry?

91
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah you do. Who's Northampton High's rival? The Catasauqua Rough Riders.

92
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: I'll get out of here. Rough got calbas A Girl High,

93
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Oh my god, I think that's where Clay

94
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Matthews went yeah, I believe you know who went to

95
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: my high school. Who's that? Nobody? Nobody, not even the

96
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: famed early two thousands alt rock group Incubis. No.

97
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: No, we had Jim Druckey Miller, we had Brian Schneider,

98
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: we had Denny Oncott's back in the day, but otherwise

99
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: we had no.

100
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: No, we had we had Tapanga from Boy Meets World

101
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: and Jesse Spano from Saved by the Bell and Jim Rome. No,

102
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: we don't have anybody of merit and me and used.

103
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: So look, throw out the records. It is rivalry week.

104
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna go through all of these and much much

105
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: more before we do, though, just because we are interested

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: in being completists, not gonna yell. We have new college

107
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: football playoff rankings. We talked about the for Baller top

108
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: twelve on the last episode. Here is the actual top

109
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: twelve per the powers that be, if that's something you

110
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: care about, all right, Oregon, Ohio State, Texas one, two, three,

111
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: Penn State still holding on at four.

112
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: Over Notre Dame.

113
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: Notre Dame hanging on over number six, Miami number seven, eight,

114
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: nine are Georgia, Tennessee and SMU cracking the top ten.

115
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: Good for them.

116
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: Yes, Tennessee drops or excuse me, Indiana drops below Tennessee

117
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: and below SMU to number ten, Boise at number eleven,

118
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: Clemson clet'son up five now to number twelve. The first

119
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: four out per this ranking system are number thirteen Alabama,

120
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: number fourteen, Old Miss number fifteen in South Carolina, number sixteen,

121
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: Arizona State. Then and your reaction to this, do we

122
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: gloss over it?

123
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Do we move on?

124
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: Obviously this is going to get a little bit weird

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: after this weekend, will it not?

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: Oh, it will get weird. But this is basically our

127
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: moment to say, through what are we at through thirteen weeks? Yeah,

128
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: of data points, this is where the committee has landed,

129
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: and so we typically have said, you know, most famously

130
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: like when TCU was in the top four a decade

131
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: ago and they destroy Kansas and do nothing to say

132
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: that they're not a top four team, but they get

133
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: jumped over, they get leapt over whatever by Ohio State

134
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: that year. I believe that you're like, well, what did

135
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: this team do that was so bad? In the case

136
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: of Clemson at twelve, it's particularly interesting because they have

137
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: a high profile opponent, they have an opportunity to cement

138
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: themselves as a top twelve team by that game in Clemson, right, yep,

139
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: that's correct, by beating a headline rival, and it at

140
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: least sets up the possibility that the ACC is going

141
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: to get a couple teams in, which has been a

142
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: question with the ACC and the Big twelve ACC More,

143
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: I would argue with, you know, now three ACC teams

144
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: in the top twelve heading into the final week. So

145
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: that's interesting to me. And so yeah, just in all

146
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: of these it sets up the idea with Boise State.

147
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: Now we still have conference championship weekend, of course, but

148
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: with Boise State where they are, with SMU where they are,

149
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: with Tennessee where they are, and most of these teams

150
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: where they are that are you know, angling for an

151
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: at large bid that this is a significant statement by

152
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: the committee heading into rivalry weekend. They're like, Okay, this

153
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: is how we view this team after you know, eleven games,

154
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: and that should mean probably more than a single data point,

155
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: but we'll.

156
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: See, we'll see. The Other thing that I think is

157
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: of interest if you look at this, Arizona State is

158
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: at sixteen. Also, yes, interesting, it is the highest ranked

159
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: Big twelve team per this ranking set. How that changes

160
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: by beating Arizona. I don't know if it changes much

161
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 2: by beating Arizona. Arizona's pretty bad. There could be teams

162
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: in front of ASU that lose that essentially helped to

163
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: move up their standing within this ranking. The Big twelve

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: is in really interesting territory. I think you're probably looking

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: at a win in a conference championship game that would

166
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: move Arizona State up a little bit more and would

167
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 2: insulate them perhaps from somebody like a two lane.

168
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: ASU at sixteen. It's Iowa State at eighteen. So either way,

169
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: if if the Big Twelve championship ends with Iowa State

170
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: beating Arizona State, somebody who felt pretty damn good about

171
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: being in this twelve team field is being booted. Yeah.

172
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: And furthermore, TWU Lane is at seventeen in the rankings.

173
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: And so the place going with this is the way

174
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: that the rules are set up. Your only guaranteed spots

175
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: are for the top five ranked conference champions right by

176
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: it does not specify that they have to be Power

177
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: Conference right victors.

178
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: So there is at least a.

179
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: Slim chance, and I don't think it's likely, but there

180
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: is a slim chance that a team like al Tulane

181
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: could sneak in ahead of a Big twelve champion depending

182
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: on how things go this weekend, right, I mean a

183
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 2: lot can go wrong, a lot ca and go hay wire.

184
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: The Big twelve is already kind of in this blender,

185
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: but just something to kind of file away in the

186
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: back of your mind. Tulane sitting there at nine and two,

187
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: they are only two losses to Power Conference opponents. They've

188
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: been playing pretty well. There's a real chance here if

189
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: things really get hay wire this weekend, if Tulane goes

190
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: on to beat Army for that American title, that they

191
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: could end up sniping that final spot.

192
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: We'll see. I'm also I was curious as for Texas

193
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: A and M's rank because Texas A and M losing

194
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: and quadruple overtime I'm on the road to Auburn. They

195
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: sit at twenty. Yeah, and so now we talk about

196
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: the potential, albeit a low chance, but a chance, a

197
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: potential leapfrog situation of Texas A and M at home,

198
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: beating Texas and beating Georgia in the SEC Championship game,

199
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: and the SEC potentially not getting a first round by

200
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: if Boise is taking care of business and finishes the

201
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: season at twelve and one. Yep, and keep they keep

202
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: moving up with you know, teams ahead of them losing whatever.

203
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: I guess that that would well, that's what would stand

204
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: in the SEC's way of getting that by right, it's wild.

205
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: Man, I tell you there there are some real interesting

206
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: scenarios here.

207
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Because I don't think it'll be two lane standing in

208
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: their way. Probably not.

209
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: It probably won't. We have gotten to the point now, though,

210
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: where there are a limited number of games that can

211
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: give you that upward mobility and a limited number of

212
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: teams that actually have upward mobility.

213
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: Given what's left.

214
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: Obviously, if you're not playing a conference championship game, you

215
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: got to show out this weekend. The other thing that

216
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: I did want to point out Dan before we move on,

217
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: the coaching carousel is starting to spin now, and North

218
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 2: Carolina has made.

219
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: The move on Mac Brown.

220
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Mac Brown, notably, a couple of weeks ago, said he

221
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: wasn't going anywhere. This followed reports from earlier in the

222
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 2: season after that James Madison game where he kind of

223
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: offered to resign if it would be helpful, and then

224
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: everybody had his back. Mac didn't have any imminent plans

225
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: to walk away. North Carolina has other ideas. North Carolina

226
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: is going to move on from Mac Brown. He's going

227
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: to coach this weekend against NC State. It's unclear right

228
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: now if he's going to be in the bowl game

229
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: or not. I would just call this out simply because

230
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: right now North Carolina is the top Power job on

231
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: the board, and I wonder if that's the reason they

232
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 2: made the move, if they are kind of the darling

233
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: job that is available right now at the Power five ranks,

234
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: Power four.

235
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: Ranks, right, and it's the only one right. I believe

236
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: he won, So it's both. It's also the worst available

237
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Power Conference job available. It's possible, Yeah, yeah, it's possible.

238
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: But the fact that they are on the board early

239
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 2: trying to court some others who might be interested, I

240
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: think is intriguing and puts UNC in a spot that

241
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 2: I can't ever remember them being in. We'll see what

242
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: they decide to do. But if you are either a

243
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: lower level Power whatever coach looking to move up, if

244
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: you're a G five looking to move up, if you're

245
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: a hot coordinator looking to move up, UNC is out there.

246
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 2: UNC is the name on the board right now. That

247
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: is courting any and all who are interested, So we'll

248
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: see which direction they end up going.

249
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw Bruce mentioned John Summral in his first

250
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: year at Tulane, Jamie Chadwell who's been pretty successful at

251
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: Liberty now after his coastal time. Glenn Schuman is going

252
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: to come up in these jobs because of how many

253
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: games he has won as an assistant and coordinator. Yeah,

254
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith came up because he's a North Carolina guy

255
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: and weirdly enough, they're like and his dad is super

256
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: loaded as a fed X. Yeah, there's a lot interesting there.

257
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: It's a very good job. It is a good job.

258
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 2: Let's get to rivalry week though, are you ready ready?

259
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: Let's do it?

260
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: Yah, time they need the week.

261
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: I didn't want to short change any games this week

262
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: because we've got so many great rivalries. We are still

263
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: going to do our big games at the top. We're

264
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: going to do our part to rattle off all the

265
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: big name rivalries, the ones with the cool trophies, all

266
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: the stuff that you actually care about. So if we

267
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: do a little bit more rapid fire when we get

268
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: to Quad Fathers in that segment, forgive us. We want

269
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: to make sure we give every rivalry it's due this week.

270
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 2: If you're cool with that, Dan Ruis.

271
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Yes, of course we do need to start though with

272
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: the one they call the game. Yeah, oh my gosh,

273
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: of course the game.

274
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: Maybe the game isn't quite as big of a game

275
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: in terms of national relevance as it was a year ago,

276
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: but the game is still the game. It's at high noon,

277
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: it's on Fox.

278
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: It is Michigan at Ohio State, Ohio State.

279
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: Playing another noon game.

280
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: This is when they play there.

281
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: Of course they are Ohio State favored by twenty one

282
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: at home. And look, did you see what Ryan Day

283
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 2: had to say about this game?

284
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: I think he basically said, losing this game has been

285
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: the worst experience of his life, short of like things

286
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: happening with his family, So short.

287
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: Of losing his father, he says, losing this game has

288
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: been the worst thing that has happened to him and

289
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: his family. Yes, which seems like a lot personally, seems

290
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: like a lot.

291
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: But this is Michigan, Ohio State. Whether or not that

292
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: is a good thing to have in our world. That

293
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: you are devastated to the point of emotional destruction annually

294
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: over this game. Whether you're a fan of coach, a player,

295
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. That's the reality. I don't know.

296
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: I want to know from Ohio State people, does it

297
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: make you feel better to hear him say that or

298
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: does it make you wonder if the coach has a

299
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: screw loose?

300
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: Okay, that's all. I think both can be sort of true.

301
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody doubts. I don't think any like

302
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: rational college football fan feels as if their coach is

303
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: not taking an incredibly huge, storied rivalry seriously and personally.

304
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know how much better it makes you feel.

305
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: The only thing that makes you feel better is winning.

306
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: To that end, Michigan has won the last three they have,

307
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: as you might expect, effectively driven Ohio State Ryan Day

308
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: a little bit crazy, and to an extent, this entire

309
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: offseason was about loading up to beat Michigan right, even

310
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: if Ohio State bombs out of the playoffs, which who knows,

311
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: depends on their pathway through this season. On some level,

312
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: is going to be judged by did beat Michigan? Did

313
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: break the stream right? And they are a healthy favorite

314
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: to do that. So I guess from the Michigan side,

315
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: given where they have been this season, some of the

316
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: obvious flaws that this team has that we know about

317
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: at this point, is the best case scenario look ahead

318
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: spot for Ohio State with a likely game against Oregon

319
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: on deck next week.

320
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you're just not living in reality to think

321
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: that in any capacity Ohio State's looking past Michigan.

322
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: I don't think they are. I think that is foolish

323
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: to assume as much. I am trying to craft the

324
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: universe in which Michigan actually has a chance to win

325
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: this game. Oh, sure, that was what I came up with.

326
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: There's a look ahead spot. The defense muddies it up,

327
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: they keep it close, basically due to Ohio State when

328
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: Nebraska did to Ohio State the week before the Penn

329
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: State game.

330
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: Sure take advantage of a line that is beat up

331
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: and has shuffled bodies around, that has held up I

332
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: think in past blocking and past protection.

333
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: Enormous stretch to me, Dan, Okay, I'm not saying I

334
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: buy this.

335
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: I am trying.

336
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: Is there another universe that you can craft that gives

337
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: Michigan the over Ohio State for the forty Yeah?

338
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's just a Will must Champ game, that's

339
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: all it is. I mean, the it's very easy to

340
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: not see happening, but it's very easy to sort of

341
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: imagine how it happens. And let's just turnovers and special

342
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: teams and freak plays. And you know, Davis Warren hasn't

343
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: been all that good of a quarterback for a very

344
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: disappointing passing attack, but he hits a screen that you know,

345
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: Mullings or whoever take for eighty three yards randomly. That's

346
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: uncharacteristic of Ohio State's defense. But this is college football.

347
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: Freak plays happened, freak results, you know, crazy close games happen.

348
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: Bad weather affects things. It's going to be freezing across

349
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: the Midwest, below freezing across the Midwest. I don't know

350
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: how that affects things. Likely not these teams practicing this

351
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: and training this all year long. But yeah, you just

352
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: it's your game simmed one hundred times. This thing only

353
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: happens three times out of one hundred.

354
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure where the points are coming from

355
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 2: for Michigan. Sure, I feel like a broken record. I've

356
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: said that time and again here against better teams. The

357
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: offense at this point is pretty telegraphed, and they are

358
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: not the dominant ground team. That they've been over the

359
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: last couple of seasons, and you know, you could say, okay, well,

360
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: Indiana did get something going on the ground against Ohio State,

361
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: which is true to an extent.

362
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: That's true.

363
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: But Indiana also had a deep passing game, and I

364
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: think the Buck guys are far more interested in that

365
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: side of their offense. That's why they took it away.

366
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: They were content to let them run runtil they're blue

367
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: in the face. Didn't match right, Just don't beat us

368
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: deep with the pass, don't inch your way back in

369
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 2: on the back of Curtis work. I don't know where

370
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: the points coming from from Michigan. It seems like an

371
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: entirely different situation. I think Ohio State clearly far and

372
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: away as a better team. I think if they can,

373
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: they're going to run it up, and I think they

374
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: might have the chance. So I've got this one at

375
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: thirty five thirteen, Buck guys, I've got a big win.

376
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: I've got a close cover. I think they break the

377
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: streak here, start a new one on their own. Thirty

378
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 2: five thirteens. My final forty five to thirteen.

379
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: Wow, I think it's limb from limb. I think you

380
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: have exercise demons you leave in starters, even though Ohio

381
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: State will have played a bunch of weeks in a

382
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: row and a bunch of big games in a row

383
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: starting with last week and in Indiana, And I don't

384
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: think there's real hangover just because there's no inspiration. You

385
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: don't need to get up extra early. You don't need

386
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: to pinch yourself to get excited for Ohio State Michigan.

387
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: So yes, exercise demons. It's a Herbrook style again again

388
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: because it's in Columbus and so yeah, I short of

389
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: Michigan overwhelming Ohio State's offensive line, which maybe they will

390
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: at times, maybe they'll get to Will Howard a little bit,

391
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: claps and pockets with those defensive linemen, they're good on

392
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: the edge. Michigan did score fifty without any sort of

393
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: consistent downfield passing last week against Northwestern, So that's a

394
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: skill that you know, could they score thirty against Ohio State.

395
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening, But it's a skill to

396
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: score fifty without a downfield passing attack.

397
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: Look, there is a school of thought that Michigan could

398
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: just keep doing what it's done the last three years.

399
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: Sure that now, I don't think their line is as good.

400
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: I don't think, as they said, they're a dominant ground

401
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 2: team as they have been.

402
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: Noel Johnson like, yeah, there's just.

403
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: But there's there's a school of thought and I've seen

404
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: it discussed online. Don't subscribe to this that Michigan like,

405
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: why why change it if it ain't broke, Just try

406
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: and do the same thing that they have done and

407
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: beat their brains in make the game muddy. It would

408
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: have to be a close win, but just do that again, improve,

409
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: make Ohio State prove that they can stop it this year.

410
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they have to get off the field

411
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: on third or fourth and short always like Nebraska was

412
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: able to do. Like when Ohio State has had a

413
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: slowdown on offense, they haven't been able to convert some

414
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: of those higher leverage moments early on in games. Anyway, Yeah,

415
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: that's what it would take. It would take Michigan winning

416
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: seventeen thirteen, twenty to seventeen something. It's just wild that,

417
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: you know, there's maybe out of nowhere, there's crazy gusts

418
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: of wind sustained wins that completely slow down Ohio State

419
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: through the air. Again, this is how you have to

420
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: construct it, because otherwise, if it's just a straight up

421
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: back and forth. It favors Ohio State immensely forty five

422
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: to thirteen.

423
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not going to dive into wild hypotheticals with

424
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: this one. Just know there are some wild hypotheticals if

425
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: Ohio State were to lose here.

426
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: Okay, if in the event that Ohio State loses, Penn

427
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: State is in the conference championship game.

428
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: Penn State's of the Conference championship game, Ohio State drops

429
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: in the polls, I think they would have to be

430
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: slotted somewhere in front of Indiana starts to question whether

431
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: Indiana gets in, starts like it.

432
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: It sets off a whole.

433
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: Chain reaction of other questions, not the least of which

434
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: is what happens to Ryan Day after the season?

435
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: Okay, what happens to Ryan Day. It's not a great loss.

436
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: If Ohio State lose now Michigan in terms of where

437
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: Michigan has been here.

438
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm just I don't want to go there, because

439
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 2: this is this is inventing stuff out of thin air.

440
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 2: But just know that there are a whole other series,

441
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: a whole other universe of weird possibilities that will show

442
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: its ugly face should Ohio State lose this one, but

443
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: we throw out the records in the rivalry. I'm taking

444
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: this game kind of in a vacuum, and I'm not

445
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 2: trying to assume too much one way or another other

446
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: than what we have seen this season, which is Michigan

447
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: on offense is no boyno. So we'll see yep three

448
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: thirty on Fox Territorial Cup Dan Yes, Arizona playing host

449
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: to nine and two Arizona State. Arizona State trying to

450
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: get to ten and two. They are a eight point

451
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: five point favorite. This is a big game for ASU,

452
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: to say the least. Arizona one by thirty six a

453
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 2: year ago. They've actually won the last two. This season,

454
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: Arizona has been the second worst FBS team against the spread,

455
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: so they have not been good at covering at all. ASU,

456
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 2: though has almost exclusively played in one score games against

457
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: teams from power conferences, they have not been out there

458
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: separating themselves in any kind of impressive capacity. So feels

459
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: like something's got to give here. Arizona very bad against

460
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: the spread. Arizona State not necessarily the team you want

461
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 2: to rely on when the point spread is greater than

462
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: a touchdown.

463
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: And Arizona State coming off of an enormous, enormous, emotional

464
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: last second whatever you want to call the Kenny Dillingham

465
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: on field freak out, horrible clock management, crowd rushes the

466
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: field twice moment. I'm going to go ASU here same.

467
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: Arizona is capital B bad, and I wonder how much

468
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: they've got left in the tank at this point.

469
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: They've had no tank this year, They've had no tank.

470
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: They're really limited on offense with how they can beat you.

471
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's noa fafita, It's team Mac.

472
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: It's team Mac orbust. Yeah, and even that has not

473
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: been a winning formula. It's been winning for everybody being

474
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: able to ooh and ah over team axibility, but hasn't

475
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: translated to the.

476
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: Rud blocking has not been good for Arizona either. It's

477
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: just been very very one dimensional.

478
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

479
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: I can see a scenario in which Arizona State goes

480
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: limb from WIM and beats them by forty. I am

481
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: not banking on that. I'm going to take a much

482
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: more responsible approach here and say it's something like thirty

483
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 2: one to twenty somewhere in that neighborhood. I think ASU

484
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: gets the road win there is that question about what

485
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 2: they've got left given somewhat down potential. But I just

486
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: feel like they are playing with a full head of

487
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: steam right now. And outside of maybe Kansas, Arizona State's

488
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: probably the team in the Big twelve that nobody wants

489
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: to play.

490
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have thirty five seventeen as it's not like

491
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: ASU is getting on a plane. This isn't Notre Dame

492
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: USC or Oregon Washington where you're getting on a plane

493
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: to play your arrival. I believe Oregon Washington would be

494
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: getting on a plane, but certainly Notre Dame US. So

495
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: you've taken buses two hours down the road, so this

496
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: isn't crazy in terms of travel. Even if there's a

497
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: letdown effect, you get right up because it's a territorial

498
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: cup and ASU smells blood in the water. Kenny Dillingham

499
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: rightfully so is absolutely ruthless. And this is a big

500
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: recruiting spot, of course, and there's absolutely blood in the

501
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: water with Arizona as one of this year's elite losers.

502
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: So I have ASU.

503
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: Big also at three point thirty. This one on ABC

504
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: this year, not CBS. Yeah, it's taken a little bit

505
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: of getting used to not gonna lie. It is Auburn

506
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: at five and six, It is Alabama at eight and three.

507
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: Bama is an eleven and a half point favorite in

508
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: the Iron Bowl.

509
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: This game.

510
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: More often than not, more often than not, has.

511
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: Very weird energy.

512
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, weird things that have happened with respect to this game. Now,

513
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: Bama's won the last four Since twenty eighteen, this game

514
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: has alternated between being a blowout and being a close

515
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: Alabama win. Yeah, last year it was twenty seven to

516
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 2: twenty four Alabama. So if the pattern holds, then we'd

517
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: be looking at a blowout this year. The point spread

518
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: is saying blowout. The pointspread at eleven and a half

519
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: is saying double digits.

520
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: What is Dan Rubinstein saying? I have Alabama covering this

521
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: and I went back and forth. I don't think they'd

522
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: cover whatever it would be on the road eight nine

523
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: points against Auburn, but there is something and look Auburn

524
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: players as exhausted as they are after last week's quadruple

525
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: overtime win. It's also kind of a proof of concept

526
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: that Auburn can finish and hang with a perceived superior team.

527
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: So I'm not discounting that. I just think an on

528
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: Alabama as evidenced against I guess it was Drew Pine

529
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: missoo or against LSU, and on Alabama, if they're able

530
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: to game plan something that isn't just Jalen Milroe Jalen

531
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: Milroe left and right, that they can put up points,

532
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: that they can get stops that Peyton Thorn, for as

533
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: fun as some of his bigger throws this year have been,

534
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: is still pretty turnover prone and on the road in

535
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: the Iron Bowl. Even with Peyton Thorn nearly beating Alabama

536
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: last year, I just think if Alabama is kind of on,

537
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: they win this game by twenty. If they're fully off

538
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: once again and they are down on themselves and Kaylen

539
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: de Boor is not able to get this team up

540
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: after last week's lost to Oklahoma, that says more about

541
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Kaylen de Boor. But what's this dude's record in November.

542
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: What's this dude's track record and getting teams up for

543
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: really huge rivalry games late in the season. Man, it's

544
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: really good. I could not disagree with you more on

545
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: this pick. Auburn's my home dog.

546
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 2: Of the wink Wow, the Yokos home dog of the week.

547
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not going to act like I'm crazy about Auburn.

548
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: Okay, they were good last week. Yeah.

549
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: The main thing for me is that Auburn's got a

550
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: solid defense and Alabama's offense feels.

551
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: Very telegraphed at times.

552
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very Jalen Milroe centric. That's part of why

553
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: we liked Oklahoma last week, was it not? It is

554
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: good defense against an offense that's entirely dependent on one player.

555
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: I think Auburn can ugly it up. I think they

556
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: can do enough on offense to keep it within striking distance.

557
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: I think again, this is something like twenty seven to

558
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: twenty four Alabama. I would not be surprised to Auburn

559
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: won this game out right. This just feels to me

560
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: like a good spot for Auburn. They want they absolutely

561
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: want to get Bull eligible. They need this one to

562
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: get Bull eligible. It's on the road at Tuscalosa, which

563
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: is not an easy place to play by any stretch.

564
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: But this rivalry tends to be real weird.

565
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

566
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: I see a close game here. I will happily take

567
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: eleven and a half points.

568
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: They scored seven points against Vanderbilt like three weeks ago.

569
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: I know, I know, it doesn't always need to make

570
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: sense though in the Iron.

571
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: Bowl, and getting up for Vandy is different than getting

572
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: up for Alabama. I am still track record with. If

573
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: you have the quarterback advantage, which I think Alabama still does, sure,

574
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: if you have the head coaching advantage, which to me

575
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: Alabama still does. You're playing at home, and while the

576
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: Auburn defense has gotten to be at times scary good

577
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: and love Jarquez Hunter, if you have a quarterback who

578
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: is to this extent a wild card with turnovers, I

579
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: can't get on board. I get it.

580
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: I understand the logic.

581
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm either going to be crazy right or crazy wrong,

582
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: with almost nothing in between. This is just a much.

583
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: More flawed Alabama team than we are used to. I agree,

584
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: and it is somewhat telegraphed.

585
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: It is.

586
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: It is highly dependent on Jalen Milroe to go out

587
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: there and make a play. And if we know it,

588
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: certainly a team like Auburn with a good defense also

589
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: knows it. Agree, they've seen all the tape now they

590
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: know I don't know. Twenty seven to twenty four Alabama,

591
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: all right, we disagree, but stay in the three point

592
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: thirty block. They call it the Battle for the Jewels. Shalela.

593
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: It's on CBS.

594
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: Still taking some time to get used to that. Notre

595
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: Dame ten and one minus seven and a half points

596
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: on the road at USC. USC sitting at six and

597
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: five Notre Dame one by twenty eight last year. This year,

598
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: it's winning in the new playoff format. We just talked

599
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: about the rankings earlier. Their fifth A win gets them

600
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: a home playoff game in all likelihood. It depends on seeding,

601
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: depends where things shake out, probably as a five to

602
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: six seventh seed somewhere in that neighborhood they end up

603
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: hosting a playoff game. Depends where you look, depends on

604
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: your projections. Some have them against SMU, Others have them

605
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: against Boise. I've seen some against Tennessee. It varies pretty

606
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: widely right now because we just are grasping. But we

607
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: will see what happens if and when they end up

608
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: winning this game. But they got to win this one first.

609
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: Da Oh great.

610
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: I've been surprised at your level of confidence regarding Notre

611
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: Dame in this matchup. You seem to be fully sold

612
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: on Notre Dame beating USC because you're fully out on

613
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: SC You've sold on c stock.

614
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: Yes, and no, I took a more ten thousand foot

615
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: view of Notre Dame in their schedule. True road games

616
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: have they played this year? Like two late three A

617
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: and M and Georgia Tech. I want to.

618
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: Say Georgia Tech was in Atlanta in Atlanta, Okay, Yeah,

619
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: so they played Purdue, they played obviously then and M

620
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: game to start the year. They've played other games away

621
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: from home that neutral site. But in terms of true

622
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: road games, you've only been two, right.

623
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: And how many let's call it decent quarterbacks have they

624
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: faced this year? One in Tyler Shock probably, Yeah. I

625
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: mean Notre Dame schedule is benched Mac benched and bad

626
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: Mac decent. Tyler Shock not good at Stanford back up

627
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: at Georgia Tech. That was Pyron, right, that's his name.

628
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: Navy not a thrower, Florida State not good, Virginia not good.

629
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: Army not a thrower, right. I just don't know. I

630
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: think it's weird to go this far into the season,

631
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: and maybe people would argue like this is Notre Dame.

632
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: Every year, join a conference, cowards, blah blah blah. But

633
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: we just don't have a con Notre Dame down their

634
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: best corner defense irrefutably strong. They're performing as a good

635
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: defense should against this schedule. USC has been winning in

636
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: every fourth quarter, right. I saw the stat today that

637
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: they're one of five or six teams to have won

638
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: in every fourth quarter, and they've lost five games and

639
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: the other five or six teams have combined to lose bot. Yeah,

640
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: they've led every fourth quarter. They've led every fourth quarter.

641
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: Something ridiculous. Yeah. USC is nothing if not a competitive

642
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: weekly team who is prone to gacking away games at

643
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: the end, better at home games in LA. I'm taking

644
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: points here, No, I am taking points here. If there's

645
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: something USC gives up, it's big passes. If there's something

646
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: Notre Dame doesn't do, it's generate, consistent, successful downfield passes.

647
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: Now Ryle Leonard's gotten better, they've become a more efficient

648
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: complete offense, but there's not a consistent deep threat element

649
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: to this offense. And maybe that's just because they haven't

650
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: had to do it, because they just stomp everybody. I

651
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: think USC loses this game. The score of the spread

652
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: once again is seven, seven and a half. I got

653
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: it at Yeah. I think it's a close loss for SC.

654
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: It's something in the range of twenty seven to twenty three,

655
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: because that's kind of SCSMO. This kind they'll be winning

656
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty with eight and a half minutes left,

657
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: give up a touchdown and Mayova throws a backbreaking pick

658
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: or something in the end zone late. I only managed

659
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: nineteen against UCLA last week, by the way.

660
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 2: I started from that point. Yeah, I started from that point,

661
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: and I tried to convince myself. Otherwise, I try to

662
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: convince myself because you know, my inclination will be to

663
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: go points here, absolutely no points here. Rivalry, game, crive

664
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 2: and cross country a lot riding on at USC, if

665
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: nothing more. Has been plucky against some better teams on

666
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: their schedule, almost beat Pen State. They probably should have

667
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 2: beaten Penn State, right, So that was my starting point.

668
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: I just come down on really liking the matchup for

669
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, okay, because I think they're much more physical

670
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: in the trenches on both sides, and I think Riley

671
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: Leonard kind of breaks what USC wants to do on defense,

672
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: which is blitz the crap out of you. That's what

673
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: they've done all year. They blitz the crap out of you.

674
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 2: And the irony here is that though they're blitzing a lot.

675
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: Their sack rates, their pressure rates are very low, which

676
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: is basically a long way of saying that in this case,

677
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: if you're over committee against a mobile quarterback, that's not

678
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: something that generally works. I have not seen that generally

679
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 2: work in college football. I am not a defensive coordinator.

680
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 2: It seems like a bad formula to me. Riley Leonard

681
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 2: is that mobile quarterback. Riley Leonard is obviously the focal

682
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 2: point of this offense. Riley Leonard is also very good

683
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: at avoiding sacks in his own right. His sack avoidance,

684
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: I've said this a million times, very very good. He's

685
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 2: good at avoiding the sacks. He just knows where pressure's

686
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: coming from. Not always the best quarterback out there, but

687
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 2: he's good at not getting taken down. True, I would

688
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 2: be a lot more worried about this if it were

689
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 2: Miller Moss.

690
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where I went back and forth. See that

691
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: the numbers and the competitive nature of these USC games

692
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: have not necessarily been on the back of Jade Mayava.

693
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly right.

694
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 2: If it were Miller Moss, I think I would be

695
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: with you and I would go points. But though I

696
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: like Jade Mayava, and the mobility that he brings. He

697
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: is still relatively green, and I just think Notre Dame

698
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: is going to dare him to throw into the defense,

699
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: and I think that's where we see some mistakes.

700
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: So I think this is a good game.

701
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: I don't think this is a runaway trained by any stretch,

702
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: and I think we're going to learn something a lot,

703
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: hopefully about Notre Dame and what they've got in the

704
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: tank against a better opponent. This is the best opponent

705
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: they've played in a while. Thirty one seventeen is my

706
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 2: final for Notre Dame. I think they pull away late again.

707
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: I think they win this game the way they've been

708
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 2: winning games, which is they're going to grind you down.

709
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: They're going to make you make decisions against Briley Leonard,

710
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: who is mobile, who they can put on the run,

711
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: who they can do RPO stuff with. I think he

712
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: will put this linebacking corps, especially in a bit of

713
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 2: a bind, and it is that matchup that eventually ends

714
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: up working for Notre Dame. Thirty one seventeen, Okay, we disagree,

715
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: and everything you said is totally reasonable and for me

716
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: to pick against a team that has an advantage on

717
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: neither line nor do they have an advantage at quarterback.

718
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: They're real big advantage is or not big advantage, but

719
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: they seem like that their depth of skill is at

720
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: least a little bit. It might have a higher ceiling

721
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: given that Lincoln Riley has that background offensively, and look,

722
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Mike Denbrock is very good obviously, sure, but that would

723
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: be the advantage that those big offensive plays, if everything

724
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: is working out for both teams, might have an advantage

725
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: or might it might be USC's advantage. But no, I

726
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: think everything you said is sound. This is sort of

727
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: like a little bit of hoping to watch Notre Dame

728
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: play a competitive game rather than truly feeling great about

729
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: USC actually winning a game like this.

730
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 2: Again, if it were Miller Moss. If it were Miller Moss,

731
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 2: I would feel much differently the fact that it's Jade Mayava.

732
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: I Look, it might be Miller Moss in the second quarter.

733
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah knows. I think it might be done.

734
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, seven point thirty on ABC. This is kind of

735
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: a big another weekend. Texas ten to one Texas A

736
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: and M eight and three Texas is a five point

737
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: road favorite. It goes without saying that this is an

738
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: enormous game. This will be an enormous game if the

739
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: stakes weren't already so high. But the way things have

740
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: gone now in the SEC, the winner of this game

741
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: is playing Georgia for the SEC title. It's a big deal.

742
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: Kyle Field's gonna be rocking. Five points?

743
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: Is a spread?

744
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: Dan? Yeah, how do.

745
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: You feel about that? I'm taking A and M. I

746
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: don't love it. I'm going with the home team with

747
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: not the superior defense, but what can be an excellent

748
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: defense in an environment that will be bloodthirsty.

749
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this because I have seen this

750
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 2: question pop up a fair amount recently because of the

751
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: playoff stuff, and I don't think we've really addressed it here.

752
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: Have we been giving Texas too much benefit of the doubt?

753
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: You know, because a lot of the arguments, Yeah, a

754
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 2: lot of the arguments that people have made about strength

755
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: of schedule. I'm not saying it's Notre Dame. I'm not

756
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: saying it's Penn State. I'm not saying it's Indiana, right,

757
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: But strength of schedule on the Texas side has been

758
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: something that has kind of come up here, and there

759
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: is Texas getting too much benefit of the doubt?

760
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: Right now, I think they're getting too much offensive benefit

761
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: of the doubt. If anything, that I don't know if

762
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: it's a rankings benefit of the doubt, because they're still

763
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: winning games. And while you can question the strength of

764
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: their schedule, and that's fine, and the quarterbacks who played

765
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: in those games, that's fine, But I don't have a

766
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: convincing argument to put a different team above Texas in

767
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: this moment. So I'll say, for the sake of predicting

768
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: games for prognostication, yeah, maybe we are overrating Texas's ability

769
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: to take care of business against good teams because I

770
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: haven't seen it this year, right, It's just a mystery.

771
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: So in this situation, I'm taking Texas A and M

772
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: because they're at home, bloodthirsty crowd, huge emotional spot, quin yours.

773
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: Beat up Texas on the road has not been lights

774
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: out on offense this year, and I'm just going to

775
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: wager as as much as they just don't. I'm not

776
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: enamored with this beat up Texas A and M offense,

777
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: but I think they can pull this out based on

778
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: where Texas is a where really where they haven't been.

779
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: I just think it's a tough situational spot for Texas

780
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: being a road favorite, where just whatever two to three

781
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: weeks ago against Arkansas they struggled to separate on the road.

782
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: That I just, I don't know. I'm not enamored with

783
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: Texas on offense this year in the way that I

784
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: thought i'd be. So I'm gonna go A and M

785
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: bouncing back from a big emotional loss, because again, you

786
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: don't need to figure out how to muster the emotion

787
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: and will to get up for the return of Texas

788
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: against A and M. So I wing A and M

789
00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: outright to win this game twenty four to twenty outright

790
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: outright at home. Man, they're my home dog of the week,

791
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: by the way, how about that?

792
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 2: Oh okay, the Yakos home dog of the week. I

793
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 2: want to watch the A and offense is just off

794
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 2: for Texas.

795
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: I don't know.

796
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to watch the A and M fraught

797
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 2: against the Texas offensive line. Yeah, in particular, we saw

798
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 2: what Georgia did to the Texas offensive line.

799
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: Is A and M good enough to replicate that?

800
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 2: They're certainly good enough to try, and I think they

801
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: should because you mentioned Quinn Ewers is banged up. He's

802
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: out there on a bum ankle. This is an offense that,

803
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: to your point, yes, sort of struggled to separate, especially

804
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 2: in the road. We've just gotten done talking about it. Frankly,

805
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: we talked about it on Tuesday. Where is this next

806
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: gear for the Texas offense? Does it have a next gear?

807
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 2: It feels like a Sark offense should be a little

808
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: bit better than this with all the artillery they've gotten.

809
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: Why is it now?

810
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 2: I do question if Marcel Reid has the juice.

811
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: To beat Texas. I like a question that too.

812
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: I like Marcel Reid. Does he have enough juice to

813
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: beat this Texas defense?

814
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

815
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 2: I do love the spot for A and M, though,

816
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 2: and I also have them outright. I've got it twenty

817
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 2: six twenty three, A, I love that from you. I've

818
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 2: got it twenty six twenty three. I probably should have

819
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: made it my home dog as well, but I was

820
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 2: enamored with that Auburn pick. This would be an incredible,

821
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: incredible victory for A and M. This would throw a

822
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: lot into question with regard to the playoff, and part

823
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 2: of me is sort of enamored with that storyline. It

824
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: may have influenced my pick here a little bit, but

825
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: bear in mind they are restarting this rivalry for the

826
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 2: first time since twenty eleven, way back when Mac Brown

827
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 2: knocked off Mike Sherman twenty seven to twenty five.

828
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: In validate McCoy, Case McCoy. So it is just it has.

829
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: Been so long since we had this game. I find

830
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 2: it hard to believe that any one team is going

831
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 2: to blow out the other. So I'm taking points and

832
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm taking a and m out right.

833
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, we agree, by the way, that was case

834
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: McCoy sixteen of twenty seven four point one yards per

835
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: attempt taking down Ryan Tannehill, who threw three picks four

836
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: point six yards per attempt. Malcolm Brown on the ground

837
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: for Texas, Ben Molina on the ground for Texas, A

838
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: and m former Angels catcher Ben Molina or Ben Molina

839
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: one of the Molina brothers. Yeah, yeah, took a stab

840
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: at running the ball twenty five times in a rivalry game.

841
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: Markus Goodwin out wide with Jackson Shipley for Texas. Yeah.

842
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: When I looked at Texas's schedule again, through no fault

843
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: of their own, what have we seen against Texas with

844
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: a good defensive line and a decent quarterback? No, I

845
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: don't know, lose to Georgia, and that's kind of it.

846
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: Like Kentucky's got that good front, but they don't have

847
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: the decent quarterback. Oklahoma's got that decent front. They didn't

848
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: have a good quarterback. Florida decent front. It was an

849
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: Aiden Warner game like it. Just a guy doesn't mean

850
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: they can't beat A and M. They most certainly can

851
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: beat A and M. They can beat an AM by

852
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. It's just been a long year of not

853
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: seeing it. That's all.

854
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: I think about. The heart, the passionate, the love, the commitment,

855
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 2: and the energy you're willing.

856
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: To put into it.

857
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 2: All Right, the Quad Father's Segment's gonna be a little

858
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: different this time around. We've just got a bunch of

859
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: games that we need to call out. You can pick

860
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 2: your own quads, but there are a bunch of cool

861
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: rivalries that I think we need to discuss here. We

862
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: will start at high noon on ABC. Tennessee nine and

863
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 2: two Vanderbilt six and five. Tennessee needs to win against Vandy.

864
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 2: They are a ten and one half point favorite. Vandy

865
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 2: now with Diego Pavia has a chance to beat an

866
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 2: in state rival, has a chance to knock the in

867
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 2: state rival.

868
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: Out of the playoffs.

869
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: I would presume out of the playoffs if Tennessee finishes

870
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 2: with three losses. Does Vandy have more magic left?

871
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: Dan? I think they have covering magic. I'm gonna take

872
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 1: the points, Okay. I don't feel confident about Vandy scoring

873
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: enough to beat Tennessee. Though I'm not crazy high on

874
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: Tennessee's offense this year. I think they've slowly improved. So

875
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, yeah, twenty seven to twenty, twenty

876
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: four to seventeen somewhere in that. I'm going to take

877
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: points here Vandy as a home dog.

878
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: This one was Tennessee minus twelve when I made the doc,

879
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: and since then it's come down a little bit.

880
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: For as much as I'd like to.

881
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: Go Vandy to make it really uncomfortable for the playoff committee.

882
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 1: Let's get real, that's all I care about.

883
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: I think the combination of Tennessee's defensive front with their

884
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 2: ability to throw.

885
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: The ball, I'm with you.

886
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 2: I think that's more than enough to get the w.

887
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: I'm kind of looking at this one like I did

888
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 2: South Carolina against Vandy with their defense are front.

889
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: Isn't it now? It would have been better if for

890
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: this specific game, if Vandy barely lost to Alabama, because

891
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: obviously Tennessee will have or Tennessee's attention will be fully

892
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: sweared on Vandy. Here, there is something about you use

893
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: what was the term you use, like controlling their own destiny.

894
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: There is something that, like diego Pavia is just destined

895
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: to hurt people's feelings.

896
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: I think this is this is his last regular season game.

897
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 2: He lost that appeal that he I mean, I don't

898
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: know where things stand in the court case to try

899
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 2: and get another year of eligibility.

900
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: You wanted to stay of some kind Yeah, yeah.

901
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, with junior college eligibility or whatnot. I think this

902
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 2: is probably going to be his last home game short

903
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: of the bowl, whatever bowl they end up going to.

904
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,479
Speaker 1: So maybe there's more magic in there.

905
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 2: I look, I'm all for it, but yeah, the win,

906
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 2: no bowl, But yeah, I've got a twenty seven to

907
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: fourteen Tennessee winning and covering going to the playoffs.

908
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: Disagree he's gonna hurt feelings.

909
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 2: Twelve o'clock ESPN South Carolina eight and three, Clemson nine

910
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: and two. Clemson favored by two and a half in

911
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: the Paul Metal Bowl. Dan, I'm going South Carolina.

912
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: Outright here, as am I.

913
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 2: I'm going outright ink Clemsons would be a big win

914
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 2: to get them to nine and three. I just genuinely

915
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: think they're the better team. I love their defensive front. Clemson.

916
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 2: I've come around on Clemson. I feel like I have

917
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: a weekly sort of check in with Clemson where I'm

918
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: not sure how I feel about them, but generally I

919
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: think it's shown improvement throughout the course of the year.

920
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: I just kind of like South Carolina more and their

921
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: defensive front.

922
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: So give me the game Cocks. Yeah, it's just a

923
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: consistency thing for me that South Carolina appears to be

924
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 1: peaking right now. Nearly lost to Misszoo, but I think

925
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: actually Miszoo has finally come into their own. It's taken

926
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: long enough, so I'm gonna go South Carolina here. I

927
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: just there is something about the trust of recent performances

928
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: that I don't have with Clemson. I mean, Clemson's very good.

929
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: I think Dylan Stewart I have saw that there's some

930
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: like public negotiations on what his nil number is gonna

931
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: be next year. Okay, he might add like a quick

932
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: three hundred K by performing in this one so yeah,

933
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go South Carolina here by the touchdown.

934
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 2: Also at noon in the SEC, it is the Governor's Cup.

935
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: It is Louisville in.

936
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 2: SEC Territory lex Tin Kentucky scoring off against their in

937
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 2: state rival Kentucky Wildcats. A battle of seven and four

938
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: against four and seven, louisvill favor by four.

939
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,959
Speaker 1: Who's taking home the Governor's Cup? Dam? I have Louisville here,

940
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: and I don't know if Kentucky had average quarterback play

941
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: or proven average quarterback play. They made the change. Brock

942
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: Vandergriff will not be starting this one. It's gonna be

943
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: my guy, Butter Coally, Yes, Butter Kohley. But I think

944
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: Louisville is just too solid. The defense is average, but

945
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Kentucky has the offense to take advantage.

946
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 1: Even though some of the skill on that team is good,

947
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 1: I just don't think they're I'll button up enough team

948
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: right now. So I have Louisville winning this one outright,

949
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: covering with relative ease something like now thirty one sixteen.

950
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Louisville's actually played well against the better teams

951
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 2: in their schedule. They beat Clemson pounded with Stanford. Ye, yeah,

952
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 2: pounded pit almost beat Miami. They hung with Notre Dame.

953
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 2: The Stanford loss was not great, right, However, they're absolutely

954
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 2: good enough to beat a team like Kentucky, which kind

955
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: of feels in disarray right now.

956
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. That was across the country too

957
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: for Louisville. Stanford lost. Yeah.

958
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: Twelve o'clock ESPN two Kansas minus one and a half points.

959
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: This line has shifted in favor of Kansas against the

960
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 2: Baylor Bears. Dan, I am one hundred and ninety percent

961
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:39,439
Speaker 2: on Kansas here.

962
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: Oh man, I love it.

963
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 2: I fully disagree and ninety percent They're the one team

964
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 2: the Big twelve I would not want to play right now,

965
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: even more so than Asu.

966
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm on Kansas. I think they're out of gas. Oh.

967
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: With his not really being a rivalry game, I think

968
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: Baylor has done enough both at home and on the road.

969
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm going Baylor here against this Kansas defense to take advantage.

970
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: Get off the field enough. Not a great defense, but

971
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: get off the field enough. I have Baylor winning this

972
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: one by I don't know, three or four points.

973
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 2: Two named rivalries that will move to the afternoon slate

974
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 2: twelve o'clock Big ten Network. It's the Land of Lincoln Trophy.

975
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: Have you seen this? By the way, have you seen

976
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: the trophy? You sent it to me? Looks beautiful? Is

977
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: that not a cool freaking trophy? The big gold, golden

978
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: looking top hat, top hat. I love it.

979
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen it before. Illinois eight and three, Northwestern

980
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: four and seven. Illinois favored by seven and a half points.

981
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 2: Any reason to go to Arthwestern here? Now?

982
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's Wrigley Field, I guess I don't know. No,

983
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: I have Illinois big.

984
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 2: Illinois big, Okay, ESPNU. They call it the Battle on

985
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 2: the Bayou matchup between Louisiana at nine and two. They're

986
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 2: a nine and a half point favorite on the road

987
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 2: at Louisiana.

988
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: Monroe Battle on the Bayou, Dan.

989
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 2: Yes, Monroe's made a good story. They can get eligible

990
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 2: with the win.

991
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: He lost five straight, which I don't love against not

992
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: so good defenses other than Auburn. I'm going with Louisiana

993
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: to win this one and cover on the road.

994
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: They're much better. Louisiana is much better, especially on offense.

995
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 2: So I think I'm with you. Okay, Let's get to

996
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 2: the afternoon block. Yeah, play, Welcome to the pain zones

997
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 2: where we live. Let's go to the pain zone. Could

998
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 2: this be the pain zone for the Miami Hurricanes. I

999
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 2: have Syracuse three thirty ESPN. Miami at ten and one

1000
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 2: is an eleven point favorite on the road at Syracuse

1001
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 2: Syracuse eight and three, very quietly eight and three. I'm

1002
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 2: expecting a lot of points. Vegas is expecting a lot

1003
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 2: of points. They've got the over under at sixty seven

1004
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: and a half on.

1005
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: A fast track in a dome.

1006
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 2: JMA Wireless Dome DAN one of the weirdest places that

1007
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 2: you could play, especially against a weird coach who does

1008
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: not shower if he doesn't win, So the impetus is obvious.

1009
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 2: I think for Miami, you win, you caull fly, not

1010
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 2: just for the ACC title game, but most likely for

1011
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: the playoff as well. Is Syracuse good enough to cover

1012
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: this point spread?

1013
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: Yes, they're also good enough to lose by thirty, but

1014
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 1: I think they're good enough to cover as well. Yeah.

1015
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 2: Is Syracuse the kind of team that is good enough

1016
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 2: to lose by one score against everybody on its schedule? Maybe,

1017
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 2: with the exception of pitt I think probably they feel

1018
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: like one of those teams.

1019
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: Even that pit game that was just a bunch of

1020
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: pick sixes, five interceptions for Comport in that game.

1021
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wonder if Syracuse is the style team

1022
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 2: that's going to find a way, come hell or high

1023
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 2: water to keep this one close. Eleven feels like a lot.

1024
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 2: I understand why it's at eleven. Miami is obviously very

1025
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 2: very good on offense led by cam Board. I'm going

1026
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 2: with the for animal, Baby.

1027
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: I'm going with the f animal two.

1028
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 2: I got it at thirty eight thirty one. Miami wouldn't

1029
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: surprise me if Syracuse won the game out right because

1030
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 2: of the for animal, because it's a weird place, weird

1031
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 2: place to play, because Syracuse has a tendency to do

1032
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: this to teams. So I'm going Miami, but not covering.

1033
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: They've run well, Syracuse has and there is still something

1034
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: about Miami where you want to be my top five team,

1035
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: you want to be my top eight team. And I

1036
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: know it was a special teams thing and it was

1037
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of a weird situation against wake Forest. What's the

1038
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: score going into the fourth quarter last week twenty to fourteen. Yeah,

1039
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: for as good as Miami can be at so many

1040
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: different things on both sides of the ball, yeah, first

1041
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: half separation, first three quarters separation. It just hasn't been

1042
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: a thing for this team. This team is not a

1043
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: take care of business team. And now you're going to

1044
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: fly up to Syracuse, New York, play in a dome

1045
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: and figure it all out to win this game against

1046
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: a decent Syracuse team. I think they can win. I

1047
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: think they should win. I have them winning, but I

1048
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: have them winning. Thirty five thirty one, all right, we

1049
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: agree that, Yes, we agree? Agree?

1050
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, three thirty ESPN two. Another ACC matchup weirdness. It

1051
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 2: may sound to say Cal on the road at SMU,

1052
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 2: SMU favored by thirteen and a half points at home.

1053
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: This seems like far too many points to me. It's

1054
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: just too many points to me. Yeah, I don't think

1055
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: too many. And now this is it's a letdown spot

1056
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 1: for Cal having beaten Stanford in a big emotional spot,

1057
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: now traveling to Texas. I just think it's too many points.

1058
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 2: It feels to me, though SMU has been really solid

1059
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 2: down the stretch, and though I think they are getting

1060
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 2: a little bit better each week, given the fact that

1061
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 2: they've punched their ticket to the ACC title already, there's

1062
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 2: a look ahead spot here. There's a look ahead spot.

1063
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 2: I would not want to be in a look ahead

1064
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 2: spot against a calgorithm no one more chance to put

1065
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 2: one final scare into a notable team from the deep South.

1066
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,959
Speaker 2: Mind you, right, thirty four to thirty one, SMU wins,

1067
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 2: but only barely.

1068
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: So you have like a certain amount of calculus, and

1069
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: it's not limited to SMU. You here a calculus of like,

1070
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: how many games do we actually have left if we

1071
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: are looking at a playoff berth, how much do we

1072
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 1: want to show? How much were we willing to put

1073
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: out there? How long are we willing to leave starters

1074
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: in If you are a lot of these teams Miami, SMU,

1075
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: any you know Tennessee if they're up reasonably so against Vanderbilt,

1076
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: or again like Ohio State, that you want to have

1077
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: enough in the tank to get to early January, middle

1078
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 1: of January, late January, or whatever. No team is fully

1079
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: prepared to do this because nobody team has potentially played

1080
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: as many games as some of these teams will by

1081
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year. And so I think you're

1082
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: you're looking at a number of coaches who are trying

1083
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: to think about this in a newly smart way. Maybe

1084
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: it'll work out for them. Maybe it won't, but I

1085
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: think a game like this, I think is certainly an

1086
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: example of where it could happen, where you're just like,

1087
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 1: let's just win, stay healthy, pull this guy who's been

1088
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: beat up early, and maybe that allows somebody back into

1089
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 1: the game a little bit. We'll win. No, I think

1090
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: that's where we are with smu CAL.

1091
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 2: Three thirty Big ten Network, Maryland a twenty four and

1092
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 2: a half point dog on the road at Penn State.

1093
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 2: Penn State leads this series forty three to three. Yeah,

1094
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 2: this game is almost never close. I think Penn State

1095
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: is going to lay the wood in as we say,

1096
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 2: forty one to fourteen.

1097
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: Is my final.

1098
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 2: I got Penn State big forty four to ten. Yeah,

1099
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 2: well you agree, very close again. Three thirty FS one

1100
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: Rutgers six and five Michigan State five and six. Michigan

1101
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 2: State needs to win. They are a one point favorite.

1102
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: Rutgers hurts feelings. Rutgers is going to win this game

1103
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: by three. I love Michigan State here really, oh, I

1104
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: love them. I mean, it wasn't a great game against Perdue,

1105
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 1: but okay.

1106
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 2: I'm treating this one like it's some sort of playoff game.

1107
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: Truly. I think bowlel eligible and one I get Bowl

1108
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: eligible in year one.

1109
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 2: Jonathan's okay, yeah, yeah, we disagree. I'm gonna go Michigan State.

1110
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: I also have listed here NC State on the road

1111
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 2: at North Carolina. North Carolina, I have minus three and

1112
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 2: a half. I don't know if that's changed since I

1113
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 2: made the doc, but mac Brown's been fired. NC State

1114
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 2: needs to win this one and get Bowl eligible. I'm

1115
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 2: on wolf Pack here, give me the wolf oh man.

1116
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm on North Carolina and Max's final game. I think

1117
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: they run wild.

1118
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 2: A few named rivalries that I did want to call

1119
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 2: out here, yeah, and then of course.

1120
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: One other one. Did you say BC pitt I was

1121
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: going to get to b C Pittes, Okay, just making

1122
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: sure BC pit all right? So Pitt's seven and four,

1123
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: they're a five point road dog against Boston College, who

1124
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: is favored at home. You have a you have a leen? Oh?

1125
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: I love Boston College? Here, do you? I think Pitts

1126
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: season has collapsed from beneath it with Eli Holstein's injury,

1127
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: a couple of other key injuries. I just I think

1128
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: Boston College is in a nice place, so I have

1129
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: them winning.

1130
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 2: The three named rivalries that I wanted to call out.

1131
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 2: The battle line rivalry is Sarkansas at six and five

1132
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 2: against Missoo at eight and three. Missoo is favored by three.

1133
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 2: I've got the Battle of I ten between Utip and

1134
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 2: New Mexico State. Both teams are bad, but who cares.

1135
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 2: It's a cool rivalry in Mexico State favored by two.

1136
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 2: And then we've got deeper than height. You gotta say

1137
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 2: it in that tone. You can't say deeper than.

1138
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: Hate is deeper than heat.

1139
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, app State at five and five on the road

1140
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 2: at Georgia Southern, which is seven and four. Georgia Southern

1141
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: favored by two and a half points. Got to lean

1142
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 2: on any of those games.

1143
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm going Georgia Southern, I'm going to New Mexico State,

1144
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: and I'm going Missoo. I'm going home teams in an

1145
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: advantage spot Missoos, as I mentioned, they've come into their

1146
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: own a little bit right there about to beat South

1147
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: Carolina obviously didn't go their way, but no Miszoo generating

1148
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: bigger plays more recently. As much as I like Arkansas Offen,

1149
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: I like Arkansas overall, but I just they haven't been

1150
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: able to pull out games. I'm going missoo here to

1151
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: finish strong and UH have an opportunity to finish the

1152
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: season with ten wins. Ten wins.

1153
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 2: I'm with you on all three of those, by the way, okay,

1154
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 2: all three those we agree.

1155
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to.

1156
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 2: The night and uh late.

1157
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait wait wait wait what Fresno State, UCLA, TCU, Cincinnati,

1158
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: Go ahead? What do you got? Give me quicker? I

1159
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: have Fresno State the week after for UCLA the week

1160
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: after a rivalry game against a non headline opponent. As

1161
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: much as I respect Fresno State, I think Fresno State

1162
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: on the road here can cover TCU. I think beat Cincinnati.

1163
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: They've been performing better and better on offense earlier on.

1164
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: By the way, I have West Virginia over Texas Tech

1165
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: Duke over Wake as well. In that early window. I'm

1166
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,439
Speaker 1: going with the road teams there. West Virginia better away

1167
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: from Morgantown, and I like the Duke defense a lot

1168
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: against Wake. Now we can move on. Let's move on. Now.

1169
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: You have to achieve failure. You need to take it

1170
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: that far. Nobody wants to go that far.

1171
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 2: It's too scary.

1172
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: You know something, I got news for you that's where

1173
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: winning is.

1174
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 2: That's where winning is. Dan yep, our final quad here

1175
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 2: of the regular season.

1176
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: I guess we.

1177
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 2: Won't have quads next week. The whole thing's a big quad.

1178
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 2: I forgot to put this game on the document, so disrespectful.

1179
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: I forgot to put Washington against Oregon on the document

1180
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 2: after all of the baggage from a year ago and

1181
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 2: really throughout the rich history of this matchup. I forgot

1182
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 2: to put Washington against Oregon. So I apologize, Okay, So

1183
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 2: I mean no disrespect. It's an NBC game. It is

1184
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 2: Washington at six and five. It is your Oregon Ducks

1185
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: at eleven or zero. Oregon is a nineteen point favorite.

1186
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1187
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 2: Is there any universe in which Oregon does not absolutely

1188
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 2: lay the lumber to Washington in this game.

1189
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Well, at the risk of echoing myself picking against Washington

1190
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: both times last year and being wrong both times, it's

1191
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: trending in that way. Washington went on the road. Now

1192
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: it's cross country. It's a little bit different than staying

1193
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: in the Pacific Northwest. What was the final score against

1194
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Penn State a couple of weeks ago, two weeks ago,

1195
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: it's like thirty five to six. Yeah, Yeah, something like that,

1196
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: they had to make a quarterback change. The turnovers are there.

1197
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: I think even with Oregon not playing an a game

1198
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: on offense, I think the defense will get off the

1199
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,919
Speaker 1: field often enough. With Washington having some quarterback questions going

1200
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: between you know, Will Rodgers leaving the game for a

1201
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: couple couple of straight big games. I think it was

1202
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: against UCLA they pulled him after another suspect performance. So

1203
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think Oregon's able to turn over Washington.

1204
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be able to run on Washington.

1205
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: Washington has good defensive stats against the pass, but really

1206
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks faced have been pretty disappointing, just like you

1207
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: know in the instance of Notre Dame schedule, so it

1208
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: didn't work out against Penn State when they actually had

1209
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: to play against a decent offense. I don't think it's

1210
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,959
Speaker 1: going to work out against Oregon. And obviously Dan Lanning

1211
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: has done a very good job motivating this team this year,

1212
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: pulling away from teams even without you know, putting in

1213
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: an a performance. So I have forty five fourteen forty

1214
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: two to fourteen forty two seventeen something that like, and

1215
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Oregon hasn't been a team to score forty this year.

1216
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,439
Speaker 1: They haven't been that team. But I think there's something

1217
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: special about this.

1218
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not feeling Washington this matchup here. I think

1219
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 2: Oregon is about as close to a complete team as

1220
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 2: we have seen so far this season, and I like

1221
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 2: him in this matchup to exact some revenge. I have

1222
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 2: to imagine, given what we know of Dan Lanning, he's

1223
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 2: playing up that angle lost to him twice last year, Right,

1224
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 2: I mean that's just sort of his jam. Give me

1225
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 2: a Oregon minus the number.

1226
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really don't even think Oregon has an incredible

1227
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: offensive game. I just think that the game gets away

1228
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: from Washington in too many phases.

1229
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 2: Seven point thirty on Fox, they call it Pharmageddon, my

1230
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 2: favorite nickname. It's great Kansas State at eight and three,

1231
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 2: I will state at nine and two, I will state

1232
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 2: favored by two and a half points. Look, I have

1233
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 2: no idea who's winning this game.

1234
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: This game feels dead even to me.

1235
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 2: I looked at maybe two or three other projection system.

1236
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 2: Everyone has this as even. Yeah, everyone has this as even.

1237
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this one. I'm saying, all right, it's

1238
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 2: cold night and names. I want the better running team

1239
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 2: and I think that team is Case State. So give

1240
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 2: me k State outright. That throws the Big twelve, mind you,

1241
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 2: perhaps into a further state of disarray because of the

1242
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 2: as you win. It would mean that ASU potentially rematch

1243
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 2: scenario conference championship game next week. I'm not going to

1244
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 2: talk through all of these things, but Kansas State beating

1245
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: Iowa State could mean some really weird things in this conference.

1246
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 2: I just think they're the better running team and I

1247
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 2: like their matchup here, So give me Can't State outright?

1248
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Can you? You can't calculate on the fly for me.

1249
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: I know you had some sort of web app available.

1250
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: I can, I can't. What do you want? Kansas State winning,

1251
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Arizona winning, Kansas State winning Aria, both Iowa State and

1252
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: ASU losing.

1253
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 2: Okay, in the event that happened is BYU Colorado, Okay

1254
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 2: for the conference championship. That's just those are eliminators, all right,

1255
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 2: to know exactly, and I do have in this block

1256
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 2: as well. Another game to keep tabs on is the

1257
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 2: Houston versus BYU game, because Houston beating BYU is the

1258
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: one that unlocks true weirdness. We made a video about this,

1259
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 2: We talked about this on the Tuesday episode that we

1260
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 2: put out there, Houston beating BYU, also Cincinnati beating TCU.

1261
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 2: If both of those things happen, and the rest of

1262
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 2: the lot in the Big twelve is chalk, that's the

1263
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 2: only instance in which Arizona State could win and would

1264
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 2: not be into the conference title game.

1265
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: But I don't understand. So if ASU finishes the season

1266
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: with two losses, right, and Iowa State finishes the season

1267
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: with two losses, right, how does BYU getting a third

1268
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: loss throw ASU out of it? It would be.

1269
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 2: So what we'd be looking at is a scenario in

1270
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 2: which Colorado, who also has two losses, and Iowa State

1271
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 2: has two losses, two conference lows, two conference losses. Essentially,

1272
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 2: because of the way that the tiebreakers are set up,

1273
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 2: it would unlock a scenario in which we're looking at

1274
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 2: opponents and conference winning percentage.

1275
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: Ahead of full record, which obviously Colorado has a third

1276
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: loss overall to Nebraska. That's right.

1277
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 2: And so in that instance, because Houston would knock off

1278
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 2: BYU because they would give them a loss, and because

1279
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 2: of the way that other tiebreakers would shake out, Arizona

1280
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 2: State would not get the nod. It would go to

1281
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 2: Iowa State. In Colorado, But that's the only instance in

1282
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 2: which it happens. The only instance of which it happens

1283
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 2: is Houston beating BYU, Cincinnati beating TCU, the rest of

1284
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 2: it being chalk.

1285
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: And Arizona State would obviously have the tie break over

1286
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: BYU because of head to head.

1287
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 2: Arizona State would have the tiebreaker over BYU, but they

1288
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 2: would not have it in that instance over both Iowa

1289
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 2: State and Colorado.

1290
01:05:58,200 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Who would go to the conference title game?

1291
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, okrazy, I trust you craziness.

1292
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: I have BYU winning this game. I have BYU winning

1293
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: as well. And this is one of those matchups to

1294
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: where I just have a lot of doubts about Houston's offense,

1295
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: And so is the spread still twelve and a half?

1296
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Twelve and a half? Before looking at the spread and

1297
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: considering the number itself, I said, Okay, Houston's defense has

1298
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: been consistently pretty good, has gotten stronger over the course

1299
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: of the season. BYU's offense, while at times shaky or not,

1300
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: they're not super prone to like a crazy number of turnovers.

1301
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: So I don't know, twenty three points sounds reasonable. I

1302
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: don't see Houston any more than ten. So I had

1303
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: a twenty three to ten, and it's twelve and a half,

1304
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: So I guess I'm rolling with given those points.

1305
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 2: Gotta do it, man, Yeah, gotta do it. Who did

1306
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 2: you pick in Farmageddon, by the way.

1307
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: And farm Again. I'm going with Iowa State. I'm going

1308
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: with the home team. It's gonna be freezing cold. I

1309
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: have them winning by five or six points. I just

1310
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: the how off and inconsistent Kansas State's offense have been

1311
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: has been on the road. I'm just even if Iowa

1312
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: State its own defense hasn't been typically very good as

1313
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: it has been these past few years. I'm going with

1314
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: the Clones at home.

1315
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 2: A couple other name rivalries that we got to call out, Yeah,

1316
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 2: Commonwealth Cup, Virginia Virginia Tech. The winner of this game

1317
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 2: gets bullligible. Virginia Tech favor by seven points. Kyen Drones

1318
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 2: is questionable.

1319
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Colin Slee is questionable. Will I Shelee is questionable. Yeah,

1320
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: ill Virginia points.

1321
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 2: I still think I like Tech a lot more, and

1322
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 2: they've generally owned this series. They've won the last three.

1323
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 2: They won by thirty eight last year in Charlottesville.

1324
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1325
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 2: There is also the possibility that Brent Pry is coaching

1326
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 2: for his job, which I don't think is unrealistic at

1327
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 2: this point, given Wow, given where Tech has kind of

1328
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 2: finished up this year, it's definitely been very disappointing.

1329
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to go Tech. I like Tech at Home

1330
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: minus the seven. I'm going Virginia. The quarterback situation scares

1331
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: me away too much, and I don't. I don't think

1332
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: Virginia wins, but I think they'll. They're good enough to

1333
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: keep this pretty tight.

1334
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 2: The Old Oaken Bucket ooh seven PMFS one Perdue is

1335
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 2: one to ten. They're a twenty nine point dog against

1336
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 2: ten and one Indiana for the Old Oakan Bucket. The

1337
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 2: Old Oaken Bucket, by the way, named via pom almost

1338
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,839
Speaker 2: made a video on this, named after a poem Indiana

1339
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 2: minus whatever that we got Limb from Limb Yeah, yeah,

1340
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 2: eight pm, CBS Sports Network. It is Nevada, it is UNLV.

1341
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 2: UNLV favored by nineteen points. Here, gotta win. They get

1342
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 2: into the Mountain West title game. This is the battle

1343
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 2: for the Fremont Cannon.

1344
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: Dan.

1345
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Yes, some interesting historical points on the Fremont Cannon. Maybe

1346
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 2: the most expensive rivalry trophy used to fire, literally fire

1347
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 2: until I believe UNLV dropped it by mistake and no

1348
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 2: longer is it functional. Oh that's something you care about.

1349
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 2: Give me Devada plus the points. I think Nevada puts

1350
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,600
Speaker 2: them in the choke hold. I think UNLV wins, but

1351
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 2: this is close.

1352
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: Nevada has lost five straights but have been competitive, but

1353
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: it's been against kind of I mean, air Force has

1354
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: been disappointing. They lose that one by three. Hawaii. They're

1355
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: not competitive against Fresno. They are competitive against It's really

1356
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: difficult to gauge. I think they're up for this game.

1357
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: UNLV trying to get into the conference championship game without injury,

1358
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: so I think they get up comfortably. Nevada comes back

1359
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: to at least cover this game.

1360
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 2: We've also got Florida versus Florida State. Florida favored by

1361
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 2: fourteen and a half points. I'm on Florida minus anything

1362
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 2: in this game.

1363
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: Game. Yeah, absolutely.

1364
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 2: We've got Oklahoma at six and five against LSU at

1365
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 2: seven and four. LSU is favored by six. Part of

1366
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 2: me wants to sensationalize a bit and say that Brian

1367
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 2: Kelly is also coaching for his job. I don't know

1368
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 2: if that's a real thing. Okay, I do know that

1369
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 2: there is obvious disappointment with where LSU has finished up

1370
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 2: this season, and maybe we saw a bit of a

1371
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 2: renaissance with Oklahoma beating Alabama in the manner that they did.

1372
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 2: Maybe we're gonna see a lot more Jackson Arnold on

1373
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 2: the run. I think they can keep this close. I

1374
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 2: just don't know if they can keep it within the six.

1375
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 2: I felt better about fourteen last week at home. Six

1376
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 2: on the road in Tiger Stadium at night feels like

1377
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 2: a different animal together.

1378
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I think Oklahoma is just never going to

1379
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:34,759
Speaker 1: be what they were last week. Often just the defensive scoring,

1380
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: the defensive putting your offense in position to score big

1381
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 1: time plays from this defense, I'm with you. I think

1382
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: they regress to the mean in terms of total points,

1383
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: and they're going to find themselves in that thirteen fourteen

1384
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: point range. I don't love that. Garrett nus Meyers made

1385
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: some boneheaded mistakes this year, but I have this as

1386
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: twenty four to fourteen.

1387
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 2: I've got this at nineteen to fourteen. Oh, okay, nineteen

1388
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 2: to fourteen. Another stellar defensive effort from Oklahoma, but LSU

1389
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 2: wins Okay fair enough. The only other game that I've

1390
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 2: got here because it's a good matchup. Frankly eight and three,

1391

Speaker 1: strong in conference. I like Marshall in this matchup, I

1394
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,759
Speaker 1: really do. I think it's a nice matchup for Marshall.

1395
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:27,880

1408
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 2: Can I tell you how many people message me about

1409
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 2: Lehigh winning against Lafayette last week and then throwing the

1410
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 2: goalposts in the Lehigh River.

1411
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 1: I would assume many.

1412
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 2: So the Bethlehem Police Department did fish the goalposts out

1413
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 2: of the river. Yeah, for those interested, they got it

1414
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 2: and now they are trying to find trying to find

1415
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 2: whoever was responsible for throwing it in the river to

1416
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 2: begin with. Good luck with that.

1417
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: Does the Bethlehem Police have like a dedicated frogmen division

1418
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,799
Speaker 1: and Scooby a retrieval team something? Yeah, I gotta believe

1419
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: they do.

1420
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,600
Speaker 2: I gotta believe they have something like that because Bethlehem

1421
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 2: is right on the river.

1422
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. What cars got to get fished out investigated? You know,

1423
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: weird situations happened.

1424
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 2: Okay, they fished it out. They're looking for those responsible.

1425
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 2: And of note, the Northampton County District Attorney, who would

1426
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 2: be I guess they'd have jurisdiction over whoever the assailants.

1427
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what you say, whoever the offending parties were.

1428
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 2: It is of note that the Northampton County District Attorney

1429
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 2: is a Lafayette alum.

1430
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: Ooh so maybe throwing the book at him maybe a

1431
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 1: little bit of yeah, a little bit of bad blood there.

1432
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: I like that.

1433
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 2: Don't know if it goes full on refusal as a result.

1434
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how these things work.

1435
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: But who does Lehigh have Round one?

1436
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 2: Lehigh has the Richmond Spiders in round one, a historic

1437
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 2: FCS power. Of course, Richmond is a ten and one

1438
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 2: half point home favorite here against Lee High Mountain.

1439
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 1: How's the weather supposed to be in Richmond? Top of

1440
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,320

Speaker 2: I have absolutely no idea, come on, absolutely no idea

1443
01:13:57,439 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 2: of whether we'll play a factor here.

1444
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Richmond weather underground, that's my go to source. Tie Richmond,
