You want to be happy 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: for a day at the State. 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: Is that whoo whoom?

In the clip, you're about to hear Dan 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: and I are pondering the question are we buying? Are 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 2: we selling? We've talked so much about these teams at 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: this point, we're in week eleven. Now are we buying 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: or are we selling a certain team's trajectory moving into 15 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: the final couple weeks of the season. Again, we do 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: the show every Thursday, five pm East, two p m West. 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: If you weren't able to join us this week, please 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: consider stopping by next week live on Spotify. Here's the excerpt. 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: Enjoy your week eleven as always, stay solid. TCU at 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 2: Texas Texas favored by seven Georgia minus sixteen and a 21 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: half at Mississippi State, Washington at Oregon, Oregon, Your Oregon 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: Ducks favored by thirteen and a half points. Case State 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 2: on the road at Baylor. Baylor favored by two and 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: a half points. North Carolina at wake Forest. This one's 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 2: got shootout written all over it. The Deeks favored by 26 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 2: three and a half points. And then a game here 27 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: Texas A and M at Auburn. I saw a line 28 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: in our chat, I believe from Emery who said that 29 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: if I sell Texas A and M, do I get 30 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: eighty five million dollars to the fair question? To Emory, 31 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: thank you for bringing that to our attention. The obvious 32 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: headliner here is TC you at Texas, and that's a 33 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: big line. Seven points is a big line to me. 34 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: I saw it. I kind of raised my brows and 35 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: walked around the room a little bit, took a deep 36 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: breath trying to figure that one out. A seven point 37 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: spread mathematically means there's about a seventy five percent win 38 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 2: probability for Texas. Outright, Vegas likes it that much to 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: beat TCU. TC is nine to zero. Right, TC's undefeated 40 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: at this point and just ascended to number four in 41 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: the playoff ranking, so they've clearly got a lot to 42 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: play for. I believe game day is going to be there. 43 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: We talked a little bit on our show, and I 44 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: think you've posted stuff to our twitter feed about quinn 45 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: viewers over the last however many games. Now, quinn ewers 46 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: has not been great. 47 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was a writer from CBS I 48 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: just on top of it, posted that Texas I think 49 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: has scored six points. They've averaged six points in their 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: last three second halves. 51 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: That's not great. 52 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: Not great. And as you know, TCU has gotten stronger 53 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: over the course of the games, they've fallen behind a 54 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: little bit too much for their liking. I'm sure. But 55 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: here's the other thing, ty to your point, not TCU, 56 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: not just Undefeated's seven to one and one eighty seven 57 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: percent cover rates for TCU this year. Now, Texas is 58 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: six and three against the spread, so they're covering two 59 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: thirds of their games. But TCU is not sneaking by teams. 60 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: And in the way that perhaps the implication was initially 61 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: by Boomshaka Laca core Agan, that's her college football Playoff committee. 62 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: So let me ask you, to let me ask you 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: this specifically about TCU. Are you buying or selling TCU's 64 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: ability to be competitive in a playoff game? Tell me 65 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: who they're playing, Well, it could be Ohio State, It 66 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: should be Michigan, George Georgia, Michigan, could even be could 67 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: even be Tennessee. 68 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: Probably not, he says, probably not, sell, sell, sell, So 69 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: I am selling TCU right now as somebody who can 70 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: play four quarters with those teams. But this is college football. 71 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: Anything can happen, he says, hedging his previous statement. I 72 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: think TCU is better than ninety five percent of the 73 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: teams in college football, but they are not built to 74 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: absorb injury over the course of fourteen weeks in the 75 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: same way to me, they're not. I if you're still 76 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: going to say you have to bet one thousand dollars 77 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: of your own American currency, either four or against Max 78 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: Duggan against a really good defense on a big national stage, 79 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: I think I'm going to shy away from betting with him. 80 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 81 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: Interesting, Now, I don't think Texas is that team. I 82 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: don't think Texas is a playoff team. I don't think 83 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: Texas does anything of a playoff caliber except give the 84 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: ball to be John Robinson that's a playoff calibier. 85 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: That's what they do. 86 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, so I still feel good about TCU here, 87 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: but no long term as a playoff threat to somebody else. 88 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: I am selling as the future of TCU as a 89 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: Big twelve power. Absolutely, I'm holding onto my TCU stock, 90 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: even if you're you know, deleting their number and blocking 91 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: their number from your cell phone. 92 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. I'm with you. I don't think if 93 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: you put TCU in a playoff situation that it goes anywhere. 94 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: This team has defied gravity otherwise so far the season, though, 95 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: I mean a lot of comeback wins. They are always 96 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: explosive and dangerous, which is not the kind of team 97 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: anybody wants to play. You know, just when you think 98 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: you have them bottled up, suddenly they rip off a 99 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: forty five yard game. That's That's the kind of team 100 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: that Sunny Dyke's has built here. Again, as I've said 101 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 2: many times over, with the same guys that Gary Patterson 102 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: had last year, same guys, same guys. Was that a 103 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,119 Speaker 2: reference to the musical Wicked? Ty that is a song 104 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: in Wicked? But that was not my intention? 105 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: No, Okay, So in your subconscious somewhere in Dina Menzel. 106 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: A little bit. Yeah, Kristin Chenowith, why not? Yeah? 107 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 1: Yeh, shout out Chenny. 108 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: Georgia minus sixteen and a half on the road a 109 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 2: Mississippi State. You are the Mississippi State officionado of the 110 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: two of us. I frankly have never had much use 111 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: for him, not this season, and I don't mean that 112 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: in a derogatory program since, but just this team. I 113 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 2: was never as high on them as you've been Georgia. 114 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: Mine is sixteen and a half, big win at home. 115 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 2: That game was sort of over before it started. Generally, 116 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: if a game comes down to the wire, much like 117 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: LSU Alabama did, that's when I tend to think that 118 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 2: there's a hangover effect. But Georgia, they had that one 119 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: in the bag by like halftime. Yeah, that was on 120 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: ice long before the final bell. They knew they were 121 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: winning that game. So I feel like the chances of 122 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: a hangover here against Mississippi State are pretty low. 123 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: As do I I'd feel better if Mississippi State's defense 124 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: weren't a better place. I think there are too many 125 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: things now. Their pass defense is good. I think Georgia 126 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: is gonna go straight at them, and it's just sort 127 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: of a thing. At a certain point. You don't have 128 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball all the time. 129 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: You don't have to be able to have a high 130 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: quality defensive line who makes crazy plays all the time, 131 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: but it'd be nice to have the ability to. And 132 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: that's the concern for me about Mississippi State that it's 133 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: an oversimplification to say here's what they do well. They 134 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: find grass through the passing game, largely in the short 135 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: passing game. They're the one hundred and twenty ninth most 136 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: explosive passing attack in America. And even then, they're not 137 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: supremely efficient throwing the ball in the way that Mike 138 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: Leach teams usually are. So if the intention is to 139 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: throw a bunch of short to medium passes accurately and successfully, 140 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: and they don't even do that all that consistently, is 141 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: that too much for Georgia to figure out? I say no, 142 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: I think they can cover the spread comfortably. Now it's 143 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: in Starkville, and that's a day tie. As you know, 144 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: Mississippi State still does enough competently on defense, and we 145 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: saw Georgia struggle against Miszoo on the road a lot 146 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: better when they're playing within the State of Georgia, so 147 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: situationally it's tricky. I still think Georgia does too much 148 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: right and they're too talented and too well coach. So 149 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: I do have the dogs here comfortably. 150 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: All right, These other games here quick to I want 151 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: to just list these off as quickly as we can play. 152 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: The Washington Oregon game, I do want you to give 153 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: us a little bit of a little bit of further 154 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: detail on because you are the PAC twelve fisionado of 155 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: this group. But yeah, the k State Baylor game, I well, 156 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: I'll come back to this one momentarily. Let's save this 157 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: one for Ty versus the world. The Wake North Carolina 158 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: game is going to be fun as hell, can't wait. 159 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: I think there'd be so many points in that game. 160 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: Wake favored by three and a half. I don't think 161 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: i'd touched that one with a ten foot poll because 162 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: just seems like it's going to be all points all 163 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: the time. But if I had to bet in that one, 164 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 2: I think I would take North Carolina. I trust Drake 165 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: may implicitly at this point, he's been one of the 166 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: best quarterbacks in college football. 167 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: The turnover issues, the lack of a run game for 168 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: Wake Forest even though that is not again, this is 169 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: my word. Their intention every week to run the ball 170 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: down people's throats. They kind of have been able to 171 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: these past couple of years and can't this year. It's 172 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: part of what makes the slow mesh a threat is that, 173 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: oh they can run the ball and they just haven't 174 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: been doing it. And so North Carolina is a more 175 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: balanced offense. I think they have the better quarterback, and 176 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say their defense is good. I'm 177 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: going to say it is catastrophic less often right now 178 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: than wake forests. So I'm going with the heels as well. 179 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: Before we get to tie versus the world, give us, 180 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: give us a minute on Oregon. Washington Oregon favored by 181 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: thirteen and a half points. Oregon's remaining schedule is interesting. 182 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: It's actually kind of a tricky slate. Washington this week, 183 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: Utah next close out the year. As we like to 184 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: call it the Platypus Cup. Maybe you still call it 185 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: the Civil War. Don't know what you are, but it's 186 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: on the road in Corvallis against Oregon State in week thirteen. 187 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: Those are three good deals three Bowl teams. Right. Both 188 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 2: Washington and Utah have seven wins seven and two teams 189 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: Oregon State six and three. Don't know where they'll be 190 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: a couple weeks from now, but this is a tough 191 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 2: way to close out the season for the Oregon Ducks. 192 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 2: How do we feel in a game like this against 193 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 2: Washington where we know the offense can score points? Even 194 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: though the defense ranks fairly highly and a lot of 195 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: the efficiency metrics we look at, I still don't really 196 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: like the defense for Washington, and so I guess my 197 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: biggest question here would be can they stop Oregon? Can 198 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: they do enough defensively to keep this one within reach 199 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: of the offense. 200 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna ben uphill climb. If this game 201 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: we're in Washington, I would be way more scared. But 202 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: Addsin is going to be crazy. There is going to 203 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: be nothing hanging over this team. With Dan lanning statement 204 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: about the perceived mutual interest with in Auburn, he put 205 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: that to rest earlier in the week. Right away, Oregon's 206 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: defense has quietly been decent against the run, but yeah, 207 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: they've been leaky against the pass. I just don't trust 208 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: Michael Penicks in this spot. I think they're going to 209 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: score points. I think they're going to make plays, but 210 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: I think there's a turnover to in Michael Pennix, maybe 211 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: a strip sack and an interception or two. I think 212 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: Oregon's defense, while flawd, is still opportunistic enough. They've been 213 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: turning teams over. I think they're going to continue to 214 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: do so. You saw them flip the field against UCLA 215 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: with that on sidekick, so they know they can't fully 216 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: depend on this defense all the time. DJ Johnson. They're 217 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: starting Ed Rusher missed their last game against Colorado. I 218 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: don't know what his status is, but certainly they need 219 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: all the help they can get rushing the passer. I 220 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: just think it's an underthink express game. I think Oregon 221 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: can run straight at Washington and succeed. We saw Washington 222 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: play Oregon State, which I think Oregon State's pretty good, 223 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: especially on defense, but we saw Washington with a complete 224 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: inability to separate themselves from a team who couldn't throw 225 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: the ball downfield. Oh Nicks can throw the ball downfield. 226 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: He is a Heisman caliber quarterback this year against a 227 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: schedule that has not been the most challenging. Mind you, 228 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: but I don't know if Washington's defense is all that 229 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: different from the defense's Oregon's face thus far
