Are they opinions or is it bachelor? 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 5: We'll get to it in a moment, but we are 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 5: broadcasting live from the ti rack dot com studios.

I'm sure he'll have a strong opinion on 32 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 5: what we will bring to the light this segment as well, 33 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 5: But there's a lot going on in the world of basketball, 34 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 5: so we'll talk to him in a matter of now, 35 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 5: we'll call it eighteen minutes or so. He'll be joining 36 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 5: the show, but for now, fellas there there has been 37 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 5: the idea that in the NBA and NBA pures get 38 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 5: a little agitated and offended when the conversation of comparison 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 5: of NBA and NFL, fan fear and viewership all those 40 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 5: things come into play. But nonetheless, there was a very interesting, 41 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 5: interesting deal that took place where basically Lebron James said 42 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 5: after a game that you know that you know he 43 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 5: loves the NFL and all that good stuff, but you know, 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 5: the NBA runs they own Christmas And if everybody is 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 5: paying attention obviously the ratings we have. I think we 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 5: did get the ratings in on the Christmas Day. Well 47 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 5: maybe not on the streaming, but there was streaming that 48 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 5: took place on Netflix for the games on Christmas Day. 49 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm certain that whatever it is, that the 50 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 5: measurement of watching and the time watched a lapse time 51 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 5: on watching NBA versus watching the NFL on on even 52 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 5: Netflix's streaming purely streaming platform, We're very very lopsided and 53 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 5: very lopsided in favor of the NFL, and that has 54 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 5: has always shown in the ratings numbers with the NFL 55 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 5: versus the NBA. Now, my contention is, you have too 56 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 5: many games for the NBA, Like right now, there's no 57 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 5: reason for me to really really invest my time and 58 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 5: my energy into what's going on in the NBA. You 59 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 5: got load management, you got guys that are getting injured, 60 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 5: you got a coach that just got fired. There's a 61 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 5: whole lot that is going on. Teams can can actually 62 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 5: recover from you know, subpar five hundred records. At this 63 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 5: point in the league. It's just not a real reason 64 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: to get invested unless you are a true purest of 65 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 5: the sport am I wrong? What's y'all's take on it is? 66 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: Lebron James Wright. Does the NBA own Christmas Day in 67 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: terms of fan fare and people watching what's going on 68 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 5: within the sports that are are being played. 69 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: I will say, do they own it? I mean they 70 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 3: had it first the NBA. We didn't play on Christmas Day, 71 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: but ultimately whatever day we decide to play on is 72 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 3: always going to be better than the NBA. 73 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: That's just a fact. 74 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: Like the Christmas Games for football, they weren't very competitive, 75 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: but for the most part, our games are always there's 76 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: For the most part, the games are competitive. 77 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: Like the NBA. 78 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: You touch a guy as I foul, they shoot a 79 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: million free throws. I just think the NBA, if they 80 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: they want to get to the point where people tune 81 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 3: in and watch regular season games, they got it. They 82 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: gotta change the rules. This thing about the NFL. We'll 83 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: change the rule in the heartbeat, and if the fans 84 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: don't like it and you don't like, we don't care. 85 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 3: We'll change in the middle of the season. We're gonna 86 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: change a kickoff. Nobody liked the way that really is. 87 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: But the NFL is like we didn't like the concussions. 88 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: We changed the kickoff. I don't care if you like 89 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: the NBA. All they do is shoot threes. You can't 90 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: touch anybody, and so change the rule. Change the rule, 91 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: make the game more entertaining. I don't want to watch 92 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 3: a game one fifty five to one forty nine. I 93 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: don't want to see that. 94 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: I want to. 95 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 3: Watch a game like one hundred and three to ninety eight. 96 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 3: That's ideal for me. Let them play a little defense 97 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 3: until the NBA goes back to letting guys play defense. 98 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 3: Any day we want to be ours will be ours. 99 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: Hey man, I love I love bron but he got 100 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 4: this one wrong. If if the NBA wants to go 101 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 4: back to owning Christmas, then they need to put Michael 102 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 4: Jordan back in Madison Square Garden on Christmas because that's 103 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: the last time that the NBA has mattered on Christmas. 104 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: Was the Chicago Bulls playing against the New York Knicks 105 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 4: in Madison Square. That was the last time that I 106 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 4: can remember that the end that the NBA was prevalent 107 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 4: on Christmas Day. But now that we have Christmas games, 108 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: they are taking away the ratings and the viewers from 109 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 4: the NBA, and it's not going to change, because what's 110 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 4: going to happen if you if you read what the 111 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 4: fans were saying about those two Christmas Day games. 112 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: They want an eight o'clock game. Now. There wasn't another 113 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: football on. 114 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: You had the game at noon and then you had 115 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 4: the Steelers and Kansas City at four o'clock. They want 116 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 4: an eight o'clock game now, and that's what's going to 117 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 4: happen moving forward. The NBA is going to be taken 118 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 4: over byt the NFL moving forward. 119 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: Because that's just what we want to happen. 120 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: Because if Roger Goodell can find a way to make 121 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 4: more money, then he's going to add another game to 122 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 4: the schedule. And that's how it's going to be moving 123 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 4: forward for Lebron James and the rest of the NBA. 124 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 4: You no longer owned Christmas Day. Michael Jordan used to 125 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 4: own Christmas Day, playing it, dunking on Charles Oakley, and 126 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 4: how those days are over with the NFL on Christmas 127 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: is here to stay. 128 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: Again. 129 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 5: I'll chime in on it by saying I haven't been 130 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 5: blown away by the way games have played out in 131 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 5: the National Football League this year. I think a lot 132 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 5: of people have been feeling a certain type of way 133 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 5: about parody in the National Football League. But what I 134 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 5: will say is is regardless of where you fall on that, 135 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 5: I look at the top teams now, like we're in 136 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 5: December heading into January. It's the home stretch of the 137 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 5: regular season, which is set in the stage for what 138 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 5: the bracket is going to be going into the NFL playoffs. 139 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 5: I think it's exciting because the top teams that the NFC, 140 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 5: we looked at it like, Okay, it's an easier path. 141 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 5: I think people would agree to get to the Super 142 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 5: Bowl or even get to the playoffs through the NFC 143 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 5: versus the AFC. But when you look at these NFC teams, 144 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 5: the NFC North is on best mode right now, and 145 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 5: you got a team in the NFC South that and 146 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 5: my you know, my estimation, well the NFC East, I 147 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 5: should say. 148 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: And the Philadelphia Eagles. 149 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 5: That are you're talking about four or five teams that 150 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 5: could possibly come out of the NFC that could truly, 151 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 5: you know, contend for a Super Bowl berth and win it. 152 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 5: You have teams on the AFC side. I think nobody 153 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 5: will argue the fact that Buffalo has proven to be 154 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 5: a better team. I thought they might have hit their ceiling, 155 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 5: but they they're a better team now than what they 156 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 5: were last year. I didn't think that would happen, losing 157 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 5: digs and maybe not being able to replace that production 158 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 5: at the wide receivers position, but they have, and Baltimore 159 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 5: is looking more and more like they might be world 160 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 5: beaters more than anything else. And for some strange reason, 161 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 5: Kansas City just continues to be a team that has 162 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 5: adapted and adopted a new way of beating you, and 163 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 5: it works so to me, the storylines are so strong 164 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 5: and the competition of these top teams is so prevalent 165 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 5: that you're gonna watch. You're gonna watch for gambling, You're 166 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 5: going to watch for fantasy football, even though leagues are 167 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 5: closing up. You're going to watch the NFL. And I 168 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 5: just wonder, is Lebron James trying to take advantage because 169 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 5: it could have been any other athlete, any other player 170 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 5: in the NBA that said it, Would it have had 171 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 5: enough you know, waight to it if somebody else had 172 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 5: said it, If you know, Anthony Atwards said it, if 173 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 5: John Morant said it, if you know, you know Tatum 174 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 5: said it, if somebody else says that we own Christmas. 175 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 5: Is it even a conversation. But the face still, the 176 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 5: face of the NBA said you. 177 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: Know what I think, though, n because Lebron has that 178 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: physical stature of I look like I can play football. 179 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: I did play football in high school. Anthony Atwards. Anthony 180 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 3: Edwards could have got away with it. Lebron could have 181 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 3: got away with it. Draymond. I think it's the look 182 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 3: and do you look like you can actually actually strap 183 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: on some shoulder pads and a helmet and get out 184 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: there and play. When you say something like that to me, 185 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 3: it makes it reasonable, at least for me, it does. 186 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 5: Yeah. 187 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 3: But Lebron is the face of the NBA, so when 188 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 3: he says it, he probably was like, come on, man, Yeah, yeah, 189 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: got all y'all got Thanksgiving?

I'm curious 261 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 5: to get y'alls a pinion. And then I asked the 262 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 5: second part of the question. 263 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: Where's the vision in college football? 264 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 6: And I'm saying all this because like the committee is 265 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 6: so wrapped up in. 266 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: The politics of all this. 267 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 6: If your job is to get the seven best teams 268 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 6: outside of those five in how are you watching football 269 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 6: and saying that that SMU team deserves to be in 270 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 6: And now's when you can. 271 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: Go, oh oh the SEC. 272 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 5: I don't. 273 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 6: It has nothing to do with the SEC. And yet 274 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 6: Tennessee got its ass kicked by a Big ten team. 275 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 6: I got it, But I get news for you. Alabama 276 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 6: versus Penn State. Think that would be a better watch 277 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 6: South Carolina, the hottest team in college football with Leonora 278 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 6: Cellars and that defensive line made up with the NFL. Dudes, 279 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 6: you think that would be a better watch that nonsense 280 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 6: that we watched from SMU, the Indiana that. 281 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: We watched, How would that hold up in the SEC? 282 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 6: If you're playing that Georgia schedule, if you're playing South 283 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 6: Carolina schedule, if you're playing Old Missis schedule, if you're 284 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 6: playing Bama's schedule. Would they have three wins against top 285 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 6: twenty five teams? 286 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: No? 287 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 6: Would Indiana or SMU have three wins against top two 288 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 6: twenty five teams? 289 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: No? 290 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 6: Because Alabama did, and in South Carolina had two wins 291 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 6: against top twenty five teams in the last three weeks. 292 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: I just don't understand it. 293 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 5: I'll say this, don't lose that many games. 294 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: And don't people that do all that talking tomics say, 295 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: shut up. 296 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 5: And don't lose to no like nobody. Teams like South 297 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 5: Carolina they might have been hot. They they're five and three. 298 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 5: They finished sixth in the x SEC. 299 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: Listen, LeVar, I get it. I get it. 300 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: SMU in Indiana aren't teams that are blue bloods. 301 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: They're not powerhouses. 302 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: They're not in great conferences when you consider, well, Indiana's 303 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 3: in a great conference in the Big Ten, but they 304 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 3: didn't play the great teams in the Big Ten. The 305 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: ACC is a good conference. We all know that SEC 306 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: is the best conference. The Big Ten is right there 307 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 3: with it. Now, what they want the college football playoff 308 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 3: to be just all SEC teams Ohio State and Penn State. 309 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: And that's it. 310 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 3: That's all they wanted, right And that's what he sounds 311 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: like is the College football Playoffs should have basically been 312 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 3: all SEC teams. Would a couple of teams sprinkled in 313 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 3: from the Big Ten? They can't control being Indiana in SMU, 314 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 3: who's on the schedule, they can't control that. And would 315 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 3: they have made better games? Yes, Todd, You're probably right. 316 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: They would have made better games. Monday Morning quarterback. Of 317 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 3: course they would have made better games after we saw 318 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 3: how the games turned out. But it can't just be 319 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 3: all the good teams that we think should make it 320 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: from the SEC. It has to be some type of 321 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 3: parody and other teams get in use. How is it 322 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 3: the college football Playoff? If they wanted to be that way, 323 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 3: why don't the SEC and the Big Ten just start 324 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 3: their own thing because they are the two best conferences. 325 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: Start your own thing and it would just be your 326 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,959 Speaker 3: two conferences battling out for the national championship, because we 327 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 3: all know the n'sal championship is going to come out 328 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 3: of the Big Ten or the SEC every single year 329 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 3: moving forward. 330 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 331 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 4: Man, it's just, you know, it's just so much parody 332 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 4: with you know, this cold college football called college football thing. 333 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: But correct me if I'm wrong. 334 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 4: Doesn't every team that win their conference don't they automatically 335 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 4: make it in? 336 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 2: Yes? 337 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 5: And the Power four in the four and the Power four. 338 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm looking so so we're basically looking at 339 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 4: a situation to where, Okay, Georgia and Alabama or Georgia Tennessee, 340 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 4: they make it to the SEC playoffs.

But dude, is it an 342 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 4: automatic end for them even though they didn't win the 343 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 4: regular season for the SEC. 344 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: That's why I get confused then, Yeah. 345 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 5: Because that's what happened with SMU too. SMU finished the 346 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 5: season as the number one team and the ACC but 347 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 5: ended up losing the Clemson in the championship game. 348 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 2: Okay, why he didn't bring why he didn't bring Clemson up? 349 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: They got small. That's why I get. 350 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 4: Confused that with the whole because everybody's complaining about not 351 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 4: today because they don't have a championship game because they're 352 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 4: they're independence. They're independent. So now all of the teams 353 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 4: that are ahead of them that are losing. Notre Dame 354 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 4: completely continues to go up the ladder because they don't 355 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 4: have any more football games until the bowl game. So 356 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 4: that needs to be taking any consideration too with them. 357 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 4: But I'm just I just couldn't get confused with the 358 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 4: teams that win the that win the the the conference 359 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 4: championship game, but they're not the winner of the regular 360 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 4: season in the conference. 361 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's why you confused that. Yeah. 362 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 7: I just want to add this too because I feel 363 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 7: like a lot of this is coming because these games 364 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 7: were blowouts, but it's it feels odd that we're acting 365 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 7: like blowouts are new. So I look this up. We've 366 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 7: had about ten years of the fourteen playoff era. The 367 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 7: average margin of victory in the first round was seventeen 368 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 7: point nine points. If you add in the national title games, 369 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 7: that margin's eighteen point six. And if we want to 370 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 7: go back even further, I think the average score of 371 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 7: the BCS championships where just one game was like thirty 372 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 7: three to fifteen or eighteen. So either way, we had 373 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 7: double digit average margin of victories for the entire time 374 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 7: we've had championships in playoffs in college football. To act 375 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 7: like this was somehow new and somehow that Alabama would 376 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 7: fix that, it just seems very shortsighted. 377 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: Did you guys a in the BCS game? Did y'all two? 378 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 5: No? 379 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: Like so? 380 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 3: And he says that, like, we won by thirty two 381 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 3: points at our BCS game, Like go out. 382 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 4: So if we get a I don't know, a Marshall 383 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 4: or whoever it may be, they go twelve thirteen and 384 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 4: oh and the obviously the winner of their conference, they 385 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 4: win the championship game for their conference. 386 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: Do we let marshally. 387 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 5: And everybody's making it about the strength of schedule. That's 388 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 5: that's where that's where all of the fighting and the 389 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 5: bickering is coming from. 390 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 4: Is the everybody was throwing a fit last year because 391 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 4: of Florida State, because of the district, the scheduling. 392 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 3: I'm going under, man, if Bama doesn't lose to Vanderbilt, 393 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 3: we're not having discus. 394 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 5: We're not even having the conversation. Vanderbilt, don't lose Vanilvanderbilt. 395 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 3: And he wanted to bring SMU up. Maybe I'm wrong. 396 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 3: I'm gonna just go ahead and say this now, maybe 397 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 3: I'm wrong. SMU is here to stay well here that. 398 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 5: And hey look here man, n I L money ain't 399 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 5: a game. Has ni L money? They always had that. 400 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 3: Absolutely, they have four pleques, they have four billionaire alumni. 401 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 2: SMU is here to stay there anywhere. 402 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 3: Like the kid, the kid from Dunckinville, Texas that was 403 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: committed to SMU, that went to Bama, what are you thinking? 404 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: What does he think? 405 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 4: Getting back to the whole SMU thing, everybody knew about, 406 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: you know, how good they were, you know going into 407 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 4: you know this Penn State game. 408 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 2: But you knew going in that. 409 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 4: You're like, Okay, they they went out and had this 410 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: phenomenal season, But how many times are they Are we 411 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 4: going to let it happen when these where these teams 412 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 4: get to get to go play a Penn State game 413 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 4: and they really can't even put a halfway decent product 414 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 4: on the football field against a team that they're competing 415 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 4: against when they're playing like these power five schools. 416 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: I mean, how many times are we going to keep 417 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: doing that? 418 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 5: It's power for now. But I'll say this, they put 419 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 5: up a very good game against Clemson. That was a 420 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 5: very competitive championship game. 421 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 2: They would I'm. 422 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 5: Losing, but it was a very competitive game. This is 423 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 5: my problem with all of the people in the pundin 424 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 5: arguing the whole idea of who gets in and who doesn't. 425 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 5: It's like, like you said, TJ, you want to put 426 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 5: all of the name brand teams in no matter what, 427 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 5: And that's not Okay, that's not. 428 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 2: I don't try to do it. 429 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think that that's the true essence of 430 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 5: what competition represents in college sports. That you have cinderella 431 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 5: teams that emerge in the NCAA March Madness Tournament, every year. 432 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 5: You see it happen in other sports, and volleyball, you 433 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 5: see it in other sports. 434 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 2: In baseball. 435 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 5: You can't sit there and justify putting in blue blood 436 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 5: teams and that's all that matters. They are not all 437 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 5: that matters because there are kids that go and become 438 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 5: men at other schools. They might have done it more 439 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 5: right than the other team. They might have not leveraged 440 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 5: the transfer portal as much. They might have not have 441 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 5: leveraged the nil quite as much, but they have a 442 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 5: bunch of grown ass men that stayed there and play, 443 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 5: Like look at how good Army and Navy were this year. 444 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 2: They were really. 445 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 5: Good football teams this year, especially Army, And I look 446 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 5: at like some of these other teams, Like if SMU 447 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 5: is able to put together a good year and they're 448 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 5: and they're able. 449 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 2: To compete at a high level. 450 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 5: If Indiana in the Big Ten, they didn't just go 451 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 5: out and beat chumps all year. People say, oh, their 452 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 5: record would not they went. Listen what I'm telling you. 453 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 5: When USC was still considered to be in the contention 454 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 5: of being a good team, which they could have beat 455 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 5: Penn State and others, but they happened to lose Indiana 456 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 5: beat them. Indiana went into Michigan and Arbor and beat 457 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 5: the same team that went into Columbus into Columbus and 458 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 5: beat Ohio State. Oh, that's a rivalry game. Don't care, 459 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 5: don't care. They went in there and they won. So 460 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 5: Indiana showed that they could win the games that would 461 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 5: would suffice them being a team that would be put 462 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 5: in the in the bracket. SMU did the same exact thing. 463 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 5: I get so sick and tired of people trying to 464 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 5: hit perfection on who should be the team that are in. 465 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 5: Alabama should not have been in the NCAA then in 466 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 5: the College football playoffs this year. 467 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 2: Case closed. 468 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 5: They should not have been. 469 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 4: Sorry, but we know why Alabama is in the College 470 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 4: football playoffs. 471 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 5: We know why, well, because they're Alabama. Because they're Alabama. 472 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 5: And listen, they have the right. These teams that make 473 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 5: it in, they have the right to win, or they 474 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 5: have the right to get blown out. They've aren't the 475 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 5: right to do either one. I don't care what you 476 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 5: want to watch, I don't care you want the game. 477 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 8: You've aren't the right to go either way with it out. 478 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: Get blown out. 479 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 5: Well, you've earned that right. 480 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 2: You said you was good enough to be here. What 481 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 2: happened well? 482 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 5: And you know what, you can answer that question once 483 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 5: you get there, right, You can answer that question once 484 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 5: you get there, because at the end of the day, 485 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 5: you aren't the right to get there and see are 486 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 5: we as good as we. 487 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 2: Are or are we not? I have been there. 488 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 4: Therefore, being on the sideline being completely dominated. 489 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: And you sitting on the side, You're like, man, they 490 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 2: really hitting the hard out here to. 491 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 8: Do a level of football and home field let me 492 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 8: tell you something, and you know it, one of the 493 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 8: biggest aspects of what took place. 494 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 5: And I was at the game in State College. Let 495 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 5: me tell you something. Home field matters. So if you 496 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 5: think for two seconds, guys ain't going to try to 497 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 5: set their schedule up or set their season up where 498 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 5: they can fight to get a bye or get home 499 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 5: field advantage, or if they expand the the playoff to 500 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 5: a couple more teams that you're getting home field advantage. 501 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 5: It mattered if we play SMU in a neutral and 502 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 5: a neutral place and the weather is different, it might 503 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 5: be a different outcome. 504 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: One hundred. 505 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 5: It was a talented team and in fact, they stopped 506 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 5: us on the first drive. For all of those who 507 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 5: want to talk about parody, and there it was. 508 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 2: So y'all didn't look very good on offen. 509 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: They stopped a couple of bad decisions throwing the ball, 510 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 3: a couple of sea balls became interceptions, and that's that's 511 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 3: when the game just started to. 512 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 5: Get a got out of hand. The defense got hold 513 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 5: of them first, and a guy out of hand. And 514 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 5: let me tell you something. That stadium was loud. It 515 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 5: was cold, the ball was heavy, and it was loud, 516 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 5: and that impacted the game in many ways. I don't 517 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 5: know how it plays out. They go down, they drive 518 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 5: down on their first offensive possession, and on a rollout, 519 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 5: the kids should have just ran the ball. On the rollout, 520 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 5: he tries to throw it and he throws it behind 521 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 5: the kid and he drops it. That's that's six points. 522 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know what the complexity of 523 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 5: the game is. There's plays that were left out there. 524 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 5: So let's not act like there was just this like 525 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 5: I did. And I saw that in the in the 526 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 5: and then the not there getting not there Dame Indiana game. 527 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 5: These games were being dictated early on in the game. 528 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 5: You know, there were some mistakes that took place. You 529 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 5: you don't maintain an edge. You got like in a 530 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 5: playoff game. You're not gonna set an edge. You gotta 531 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 5: set an edge. 532 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 2: You let the kid after you. 533 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 5: Guys get a good play, you get an interception, you're driving, 534 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 5: you're in the red zone. 535 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 2: You turn it over. 536 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 5: Then you turned over, and you let the man just 537 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 5: come up out of the backfield and run for it. 538 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 5: One of the longest touchdowns ever in the history or 539 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 5: the longest it sounds. Listen, this is why you strap 540 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 5: it up. This is why you lace them up, and 541 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 5: this is why you put your helmets on and you play. 542 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 5: The game is to see are you better or are 543 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 5: you not? And if that turns out to be a blowout, 544 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 5: then it turned out to be a blowout. 545 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: You can yup up. There we go. I've seen it. 546 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: There it is. 547 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 5: This is why they shouldn't be playing. This is why 548 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 5: they shouldn't be in it. Nah, fump that man. Forget 549 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 5: all that action. That ain't how it all works. And 550 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 5: for what it's worth, when you're talking about the true 551 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 5: nature of competition, these guys should have just as much 552 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 5: an opportunity to be able to get in and see 553 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 5: if they can win, just like any of the blue 554 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 5: blood teams. That's where I fall on it. But you know, 555 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 5: we'll see how it all plays out. We got the 556 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 5: next round coming up, Ohio State and the rematch of 557 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 5: them and Oregon comes up. That's gonna be fun to watch. 558 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 5: Arizona State, they're taking on the long Horns. That'll be 559 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 5: an interesting one because Arizona State has been on a tear. 560 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 5: Notre Dame is taking on the Dogs. That's going to 561 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 5: be a very very good game to watch. And then 562 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 5: there's Boise and Penn State. And if you think for 563 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 5: two seconds that that's a runover game because Boise doesn't 564 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 5: like ring the bell of big name schools, I would 565 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 5: I would tell you make sure you watch the game 566 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 5: because Genti is a beast and this team plays very 567 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 5: very fast. It's a very very talented Boise team, so 568 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 5: they'll have their hands full with Penn State, but Penn 569 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 5: State will also have their hands full with Boise. It 570 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 5: will be a good, a good slate of games. I know, 571 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 5: we got to get out of here. So what we'll 572 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 5: do is, you know, I tease the other games just 573 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 5: super quickly before we get the update, yes or no? 574 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: Does it? Does it? 575 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 5: Devalue the other Bowl games that are taking place right now. 576 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 5: Do you care about the other bowl games or is 577 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 5: it just a playoffs? 578 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 3: I watch them, I don't know if it devalues them, 579 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: I'll watch them if I'm not doing anything. But it 580 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 3: isn't like in years past where you're like, oh, I'm no, 581 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 3: it's it's a little different for sure. 582 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: Plat. I mean, I'm gonna watch boys because I want 583 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 2: to watch. 584 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 5: Genty, But that's the that's the playoffs. 585 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 2: Talking about the regular game? 586 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 5: Are you interested? 587 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 4: First of all, it's way too many can't keep up, 588 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 4: and I'm just really just interested in the playoffs, not 589 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 4: the rest of these, uh you know, bowl games. 590 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 2: But I will say this, I saw this a snoop 591 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 2: dogg bowl going on.

It looked like we 654 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 10: were going to have our first ever six and oh sweep. 655 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 10: But Plaux took the Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore to. 656 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 5: So we did not. 657 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 10: Plaques went four and two.

The 660 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 10: Arizona Cardinals take on the Rams in Los Angeles. The 661 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 10: Rams a six and a half point favorite. The total 662 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 10: is currently forty seven and half, and I believe if 663 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 10: the Rams win this game, they essentially win the NFC West, 664 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 10: so a lot on the line for them. Lvar will 665 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 10: start with you. 666 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 5: So, so the Rams are playing who the Cardinals? The Cardinals, 667 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 5: all right, they're gonna win that game. What's the spread 668 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 5: six and a half, six and a half, six and 669 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 5: a half, six and a half. I'm gonna take the 670 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 5: Cardinals on that. On the points, though, what's the over? 671 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 10: Forty seven and a half? 672 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,720 Speaker 5: Is the total forty seven and a half forty seven 673 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 5: and a half, They're gonna hit the over on that, 674 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 5: so I'm gonna take the points on that six. So 675 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 5: I'm gonna take the Cardinals, but I'm gonna take the 676 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 5: over on the total. 677 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm taking the Rams. I'm taking the Rams with 678 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 4: the spread, and I'm taking the over on the points. 679 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 4: I'll take the Rams in the. 680 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 5: Under, all right. 681 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 10: Next up, probably the game of the week, the Green 682 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 10: Bay Packers had to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. 683 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 10: The Vikings a one and a half point favorite. This 684 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 10: line has moved towards the Vikings over the course of 685 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 10: the last couple of days. The total currently said at 686 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 10: forty nine. It will start with you. 687 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 3: This is a tough game here, but I'm gonna go. 688 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Minnesota. Vikings played earlier in the season. 689 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 3: I believe they won by two points, So I take 690 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 3: the Vikings and I believe it will be a shootout. 691 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 3: They are playing in Minnesota, correct, So I'm gonna say 692 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 3: it's gonna go over all right? 693 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 2: So, so, so what's the spread on the game and 694 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 2: a half for the Vikings. 695 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 4: Oh, I'm taking the Minnesota Vikings. I believe it's gonna 696 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 4: be another tough divisional games. They win by a field goal, 697 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 4: and it's gonna be an absolute Uh you know they're 698 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 4: gonna be throwing, throwing the ball all over the y off. 699 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 4: So I'm taking the Vikings. 700 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 5: I'm taking the under on the points. I think there's 701 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 5: gonna be a defensive struggle here that takes place, and 702 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 5: I'm taking green Bay to win. So our money line 703 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 5: green Bay on this one? 704 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 2: All right? How about that one? All right? 705 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 5: Like doing a money line. 706 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 10: Last game here, and there's gonna be no blias involved 707 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 10: in this one. I'm certain the Penn State and Nitney 708 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 10: Lions take on the Boise State Broncos. 709 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 5: Why are you gonna put that in there? 710 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 2: Man, Let's put let them finish, man, let them finish. 711 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm sure you guys will all be like totally 712 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 10: objective here with your picks. 713 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 2: Uh. 714 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 10: Penn State an eleven point favorite in this one. Total 715 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 10: currently said it fifty three and plaques will start with you. 716 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 2: Oh man, the totals head at fifty three. 717 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 4: If I'm going I'm going under on the points because 718 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 4: ala Is is not. They're not gonna really call a 719 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 4: lot of points this game. And my man, genty stick 720 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 4: City abdual called or that defense, y'all gonna be in 721 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 4: for a rude awakening. So I'm taking the Boise State 722 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 4: money line and I'm. 723 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 2: Taking the under on the points. Go Boise State. Hey, 724 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 2: go Boise State. 725 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 5: That's Spartan came out here? 726 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 2: Did Old that? 727 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 3: Did Old that I'm taking the Boise State Broncos and 728 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 3: the under dead on what he said follow that cab. 729 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 5: They played really well against Oregon, so I again, I 730 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 5: think that they're the Penn State is going to have 731 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 5: to be ready for this game. But I do believe 732 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 5: that one thing that has worked out for us all 733 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,240 Speaker 5: year is we wear you out up front. Like our 734 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,760 Speaker 5: offensive front has been as physical as any that I've seen. 735 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,479 Speaker 5: And we have two running backs that that one big 736 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 5: play one that really really softens the belly and Allen 737 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 5: and in Singleton. If you know our team and you 738 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 5: know the personnel, you know that we have the greatest 739 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 5: athlete period in all of college football, and Tyler Warren 740 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 5: he's a beast, so you'll have to look out for him. 741 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 5: And our defense has been sturdy except for all but 742 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 5: one game, and they even adjusted in that Oregon game. 743 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 5: So I look at Penn State to beat too much. 744 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 5: They will cover it out eleven. So I'm gonna take 745 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 5: them on the points. And as far as the over, 746 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 5: I think there will be points scored in this game. 747 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 5: I don't think that it'll necessarily You said fifty one, 748 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 5: fifty three, fifty three. Yeah, I think I'll take the 749 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 5: under on the fifty three, but I certainly believe that 750 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 5: Penn State will win handily by by the end of 751 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 5: the game, so it'll be more than two touchdowns obviously, 752 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 5: because I'm taking the points. 753 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, And. 754 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 5: For for for what it's worth, I do hope that 755 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 5: that if I do get one right out of all 756 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 5: of them this week, I do pray that is the 757 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 5: one that I get correct. Of course, you, hey, for 758 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 5: for what is worth, Since we have a tap bit 759 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 5: of time left, bo, can you do the spreads on 760 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 5: Michigan State and on Oregon State for the college football 761 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 5: playoff game this week?
