1 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: Coaching carousels a wild thing. Man, think about this, just 2 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: following me here. So Ryan Day has an office coordinator opening. 3 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: He goes and hires Bill O'Brien. 4 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: But then Jeff Hapley leads Boston College the Packers, which 5 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: means Boston College has a job opening. 6 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: This is where it really gets interesting. 7 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: They go take Bill O'Brien from right under Ryan Days, 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 2: not even been there a month, and Ryan Day says, 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: all right, Chip Kelly, backup option, let's go in Ohio 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: State's off for the races. And then Bill O'Brien in 11 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: week two draws Norvelle and fsu guts them in Dope 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 2: No Less in a standalone spot on national television. And 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 2: some guy who promised to eat dog poop if it 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 2: happened is nowhere to be found. 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: So that guy's blood. 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: Is on Bill O'Brien's hands, and we've got to talk 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: about it all tonight. Tuesday's Tember three, the Year of 18 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 2: Our Lord twenty twenty four. We are proudly presented by 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors and Jam Packed Hi atop a 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: busy downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It's week two. It's the Prediction Show. 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 2: So yes, we are technically looking back on a game 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: from last night. But it's week two, so it's prediction 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: show time on Tuesday night, and that means we got 24 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 2: a bunch of games to talk about. We'll give you previews, 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what the model thinks, I'll give you 26 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: my final picks. I'm nervous on several of these games 27 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: because they seem, oh, I don't know, a little bit 28 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: too clear, which doesn't exist, friends, that doesn't exist in 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: college football. Florida State already cooked medium well to well 30 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: done and it is not even mid early September. 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: How's this possible. 32 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: I've got some things to say about what happened to 33 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 2: Florida State last night, what's happened to Florida State in general. 34 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: So you'll want to be tuned in for. 35 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: That new JP poll drops as it does every Tuesday night. 36 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: I told you we are so jam packed tonight. I 37 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: think this could be a series of shows, but we 38 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: can't do that because we got another one in forty 39 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: eight hours, so we got to get it all off 40 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: the assembly line tonight. They're watching it in Spokane, Washington, 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: Chapel Hill, Texas, Lewis Berry, Pennsylvania, Enterprise Alabama. 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: Appreciate all you guys. 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: Numbers are just through the roof, adding over one thousand 44 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: subs per day on average on the YouTube channel. If 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: you haven't already, make sure you do that. I need 46 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: to address the nation here. This is going to take 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: oh about twenty seconds. The other night, I didn't think 48 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: I said this, but I said Notre Dame does not 49 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: have an elite piece on their team team it being 50 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: the key word here. I said, they don't have an 51 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 2: elite union on their team. Well, that of course is 52 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 2: a lie, because Notre Dame secondary is beyond elite, could 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: challenge to be the best in the sport this year. 54 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: I met offense instead. 55 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I said team Notre Dame's Notre Dame defensively, especially 56 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: the secondary, clearly elite, clearly elite. So we're trying to 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: expunge that from the record. I'm not going to go 58 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: as far as to delete the show, contrary to what 59 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: some of my former friends out there suggest I do 60 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: earlier in the day today, But yeah, Notre Dame's secondary 61 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: confirmed elite. So that's how we lead tonight show. Now, 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: what's happening in Tallahassee, Florida. Not too much, at least 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 2: not too much. 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: That's good. I can't believe it's this bad. 65 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: Boston College goes in there and whins twenty eight to fourteen. 66 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: Last night they were seventeen and a half point dogs, 67 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: and it was never in doubt. 68 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: It was gross to watch. 69 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: I gave this too Chali on our brand new game 70 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: rating system. That gets two out of five Chaai, and 71 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: I'll give them credit now they made it watchable. I 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: don't know what kind of number ESPN did on this. 73 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: It's got to be higher than what they thought it 74 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: would be. I remember everyone was looking at the schedule saying, 75 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: Saturday is going to be awesome. Sunday night, USC LSU 76 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: Monday night. What's the Labor Day game? 77 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Guys? Oh, it's Boston College, Floridas stan right, well, floridastatee 78 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: will get right. No, they got a hand it to him. 79 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: They didn't get right. Anything. Do me a favor. 80 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: I don't offer I don't often ask you guys to 81 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: do me personal favors. But I got a friend, his name, 82 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: we'll call him Danny, and I just like for those 83 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: of you out there, any kind of prayer group or 84 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: if you've got your own prayer list. Just add my 85 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: friend Danny to your prayer list. He is a defeated 86 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: man right now, and I don't want to give you 87 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: any more information than that. It's just because of Florida 88 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: State's failings early in the year. My friend Danny is 89 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: struggling and he's down bad and he could use your help. 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: So Mike Norvel's got a problem on his hands. Mike 91 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: Norvel cares a whole lot. Mike Norvel is all in. 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 2: He puts his heart and soul into Florida State. The 93 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: problem is his players don't care as much as he does, 94 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 2: at least not enough of them do, and that is 95 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: one of the consequences of leaning on the portal. Now 96 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about what happened, and I'm going 97 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: to talk about how this roster was put together and 98 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 2: then where it's going because I wholeheartedly disagree with a 99 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: lot of the talking points out there that have been 100 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 2: popularized on Mike Norvel. But before I do my part 101 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: in maybe taking Norvell's side a little bit, I've got 102 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: some bad news. This was a Sarah McLaughlin special in 103 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: Dolte Campbell Stadium, Boston College just annihilated. Let me emphasize, 104 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: annihilated Florida State upfront two sixty three to twenty one 105 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: rushing edge. Florida State had to use trick plays as 106 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: a seventeen point favorite at home to stay in this 107 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: game because the seventeen point dog was sledgehammering them in 108 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: the throat all night. Thirty nineh nine to twenty fifty 109 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 2: one time of possession edge Florida State four seventeen, third 110 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: and fourth down. Boston College in the first half had 111 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: one drive that equalled more than all of Florida State's 112 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: first half drives combined. Boston College had ten runs of 113 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: ten plus yards. Florida State had one FBS favorites this year. 114 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: Double digit FBS favorites are seventy one and one. 115 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: Florida State in that role is zero to two so far. 116 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: And if that wasn't bad enough, Bill O'Brien hits the 117 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: finisher and the ultimate finisher. 118 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: In college football. 119 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 2: The ultimate sign that I have just panched you in 120 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: front of the world you couldn't do anything about it, 121 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: is I'm gonna get inside your ten yard line at 122 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: home and I'm going to take a knee, essentially screaming 123 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 2: to the world we could make it a lot worse, 124 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: but they've already bled enough. We'll dust ourselves off and 125 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: we'll head back up to Massachusetts. Just a splattering. I 126 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: know it was only a two touchdown edge here a 127 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: two touchdown gap. This was a splattering. You know it, 128 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: and I know it if you watched. So thank you, 129 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: Sarah McLaughlin. A rare second appearance in a given week. 130 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: A lot of you had a lot to say last night. 131 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: I have a lot to say. I feel I don't 132 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: ever feel bad for guys because this is football. I mean, 133 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: you got to have a winner and a loser. But Colin, 134 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: do you have that tweet that someone put up earlier today? Yeah, 135 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: so I responded to this, someone said, Norvelle's on the 136 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 2: hot seat. Can't say he's not. I can say he's not. 137 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: Mike Norvel's nowhere close to a hot seat. Mike Norvel's 138 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 2: seat is fine. His team just sucks. His team's not good. 139 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: His team was. 140 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: Put together in ways that are a little bit different 141 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: and atypical and non traditional. 142 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: But it's his team. 143 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: That's what you got to go to war with. And 144 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: they have leaned on the portal before down there, and 145 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: they've won big. They did last year. They have leaned 146 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: on the portal again for this team, and it's not 147 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: a good team. Got some really talented players, but it's 148 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: not a good team. I'm gonna go back to what 149 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: folks were saying in the preseason. NFL types, people who 150 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: cover that team and watch practice all the time, they 151 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: were fooled into thinking this was going to be a 152 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: pretty good to a really good team. And the reason 153 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: is because their eyes didn't deceive them. What they were 154 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: seeing was a whole lot of talent at practice. Well, 155 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: those guys didn't leave. They're still there. It's just they're individuals. 156 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,119 Speaker 2: They're not a team. They're individuals like they're not a unit. 157 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: And that's how a bunch of kids you don't even 158 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: remember the recruitments of it. Boston College came in and 159 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: Paris him because that's how football works, which is the 160 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 2: beauty and horror of this game. 161 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: But I'm going to tell you something. 162 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 2: Our buddy Parker over at Stats of War made a 163 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: good point last night, so naturally I'm going to steal 164 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: it from him. 165 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: But he's right. 166 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: Nick Saban and Kirby Smart have ruined the sport for 167 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: a lot of people, at least the way they perceive it, 168 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: because Nick Saban got his program to an elite cruising 169 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: altitude and stayed there, never dipped, never dropped below a 170 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: certain level. He was always number one or number one 171 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: A Kirby smart has Georgia there and there's no dip. 172 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: There's no dip. 173 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: That doesn't mean they'll make the national title game every year, 174 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: but it means as a program, they're operating at peak efficiency. 175 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: They're favoring in just about every game, and if you 176 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: beat him, it's a huge deal. That's not normal, never 177 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: has been, and it will not be moving forward, even 178 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 2: more so because of what the portal and NIL in 179 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 2: conjunction with the portal does to the depth of those 180 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: elite rosters. See, Kirby didn't have a problem losing his starters. 181 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: Nick Saban didn't have a problem losing his starters. But 182 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: what those guys were starting to deal with and will 183 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: continue to deal with, is what happens to the fact 184 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: that someone out there is willing to pay one hundred 185 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: and twenty five grand for your backup linebacker, which you're 186 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: not willing to do just out of principle alone. Well, 187 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: that guts your depth a little bit, and so disproportionately, 188 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: it's gonna be even harder than it already was to 189 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: maintain that level of performance, and it was already really 190 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: hard to maintain that level of performance immunity. So Mike 191 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 2: Norvell is discovering what many coaches before him have discovered, 192 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: and the public, in turn is discovering about Mike Norvel 193 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: what many have discovered. It's just they're viewing it through 194 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: a different lens. In nineteen ninety six, if someone were 195 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: to have popped an undefeated season on you and then 196 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: they regressed or they fell back to the pack the 197 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: next year, you would have said, well, I mean, you know, 198 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 2: give him a little break. The guy was in contention 199 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: for the national title the year before. But now now 200 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: people think, if you're elite, that just means your program's 201 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 2: right there every year. Well, maybe Mike Norvel's not elite. Firstly, 202 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: maybe he's just really good. So that's one post ability. 203 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: The second possibility is, if he's really good, this is 204 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: in the deck of cards. 205 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you how it could be in the deck 206 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: of cards. 207 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: Maybe Mike Norvel hasn't fully figured out his program philosophy 208 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: and his recruiting schematic yet his talent acquisition schematic. 209 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: This was bound to happen to a handful of guys. 210 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: You don't inject something like the portal as it's currently 211 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: constituted into college football. 212 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: And everyone just figures it out. 213 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: Some guys are going to figure it out, some guys 214 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: are going to get totally burned by it, and some 215 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: guys are ultimately going to figure it out. But there's 216 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: going to be a learning curve. Mike Norvel is in 217 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 2: the third camp. Norvel will get this stuff figured out. 218 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: Mike Norvel and his staff have done an average at 219 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: best job of recruiting, and they've done a pretty good 220 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: job to a really good job of going in the 221 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: portal and getting a bunch of players. But the portal 222 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: is sorting itself out. The portal is proving to be 223 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 2: really feast or famine. And you're gonna have some anecdotal 224 00:10:54,440 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: examples Florida State last year, chief among them, of efforts 225 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: in the portal that ended up being feast. 226 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: And then you go and you do. 227 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: What Florida State did last year, but famine is going 228 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 2: to be out there, which just goes to show you 229 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 2: even if you portal guys in at a high level, 230 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 2: there is not a consistent, performing, top five caliber program 231 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: long term that's going to lean on the transfer portal. 232 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: They just won't. 233 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 2: You're going to have coaches, and I think Norvell was 234 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: right to do this that use it to jump start 235 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: or rebuild. Totally fine with that, but you've eventually got 236 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: to shift it. That's what I expected from them, and 237 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: they haven't really done it. I expected them to jump 238 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: start it via the portal and then pretty quickly you 239 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: shift twenty forty sixty eighty percent and you're just a 240 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: traditional high school recruiter, which you should be at Florida 241 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: State because you're in the state of Florida, so you. 242 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: Should be crushing it. 243 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: Especially you should be parlaying an undefeated season last year 244 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: to an excellent recruiting class this upcoming cycle. I don't 245 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: know that they're going to land that. I don't know 246 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 2: that they're not, but no legit head coach. I will 247 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: continue to stand by this, no legit head coach, and 248 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: I think Norvel is one is going to lean on 249 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: the portal long term and have sustained success. 250 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: They'll just be blips on the radar screen. 251 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: They'll be wild up and down inconsistency, and there's no 252 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: excuse for Florida State to be that. Florida State should 253 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: be a player perennially. But you only get I don't know, 254 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: you only get so many tries at this. You don't 255 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 2: you know, you're Mike Norvel or you're whoever. You don't 256 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 2: get to try it one way and then try it 257 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: another way and try it another way, because each way 258 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: you try it is two or three years you don't. 259 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: It's not an it's not like a video game where 260 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: you can try it, hit reset, try it again, hit reset, 261 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: tried again, and you did that in the span of 262 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: a day. That's not the way that you get to 263 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: do it. So here's what I think is happening down 264 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: there right now. I think Mike Norvel knows his coaching 265 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: staff's probably not good enough and there are upgrades that 266 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: need to be made there, and I. 267 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: Would agree with that in general, i'd agree with that. 268 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: But I also think he's probably looking around saying I 269 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: thought I had something. 270 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: On this team. I thought the DNA of this team 271 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: was one thing, and it's not. 272 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 2: And it's a problem that I wasn't aware of that. 273 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: But it makes sense because these guys are not Florida State. 274 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: These guys are somewhat Florida State, and then they're mercenaries 275 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: who just kind of landed at Florida State, but they 276 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: didn't buy Florida State. Like, that's the same thing that 277 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 2: you're looking at with Texas right now. I have talked 278 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: to some folks at Texas and they portal guys in 279 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 2: Texas has been really good in the portal, but ultimately 280 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: they don't want to talk about the portal at Texas. 281 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: They don't want to talk about the portal at Bama. 282 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: They don't want to talk about the portal at Georgia. 283 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: They use it. 284 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: That'd be dumb not to, But it's a supplement tool. 285 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: They sell Texas, they sell Alabama, they sell Georgia. Ohio 286 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 2: State sells Ohio State. Because the nucleus of your roster 287 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: has to be made up of kids that out of 288 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: high school in some cases with bigger offers in the 289 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: nil market, chose you because you're a fit for them. 290 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 2: They bought you, they bought the program you sold them. 291 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 2: Not enough of Florida State is made up of that 292 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: kind of player right now. 293 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: Mike Norvell's not an idiot. 294 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 2: Mike Norvel, I think realizes that the difference is I 295 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: could go on a message board right now and I 296 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: could just say that Mike Norvell could realize the same thing. 297 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: But the difference is it takes months and months in 298 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: a couple of years to actually put that in practice. 299 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: And even if you realize it, you've got to go 300 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: land the kids. You got to have to compete against 301 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: Miami and to compete against the other big programs in 302 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: the South that you're going to recruit heads up against 303 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: for athletes. It takes more than just being committed to 304 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: recruiting against them, because there are a lot of programs 305 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: that are committed that get their head beat in in recruiting. 306 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 2: You got to be more than committeed. You've got to 307 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: be really good at it. That's what we got to 308 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: figure out. That's what we got to figure out. So 309 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 2: I hats off to Bill O'Brien and the crew because 310 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: they came down there and they took advantage of their 311 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: standalone spot. It's one of the more embarrassing to week 312 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: stretches for any major program that I can remember in 313 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: quite a while, as it pertains to on the field. 314 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: But I don't I think less of Norvelle only because 315 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: I wish that there had been a more aggressive pivot 316 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: after last year, that wouldn't have changed this year's team. 317 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: So maybe it's dumb to say it that way, but 318 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: I hope Here's what I'll say. I hope that the 319 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: struggles he's having now will trigger more aggressive shift, which 320 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: I think it will into traditional high school recruiting. I 321 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: remember when the portal first caught on fire and Nil 322 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 2: and the portal just kind of meshed and caught on fire, 323 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: and everyone was having conversations. Do you even recruit high 324 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: school as much anymore? They don't have those conversations anymore. 325 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: You notice that was pretty short lived. Mike Norvel is 326 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: gonna be fine at Florida State. There's not an ounce 327 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: of hot seat talk. They're gonna be bad this year. 328 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: They're gonna have a really bad record this year because 329 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: there's there's no real heart and soul on that team. 330 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: They I don't know. I wish. 331 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: I don't wish anything, because if I wished it, I 332 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 2: could just say it. I was pretty blunt in some 333 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: text that I sent to certain people last night. They 334 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: know who they are. I'm not gonna repeat that on 335 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: air because it is self defeating. But they don't have it, man, 336 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: where you open the chest up where that heart's supposed 337 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: to be. This Florida State team doesn't have that, so 338 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: they'll be run through again. That's not the last time 339 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: you're going to see that happen. And I mean, Mike 340 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: Norvel is looking in that team's eyes and it's just 341 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: lights on. Nobody home. And he said all the right things. 342 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: I was listening to him last night talk, but he's 343 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: got no answer. They've got no answer for this team 344 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: this year. And it is September third. Can you imagine 345 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: can you imagine saying that this was the favorite to 346 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: win this conference? You imagine that saying that some seasons 347 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: haven't even started on September third, depending on the way 348 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: the calendar shakes out. And we're sitting here, they're zero 349 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: to two. They got Memphis come into town, and Jesse, 350 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: what did you tell me that number is at FanDuel 351 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: right now? This is in Tallahassee. Didn't you tell me 352 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 2: that Florida State's one and a half point favorite? Is 353 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: that right at home? At home? Florida State one and 354 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: a half point favorite? Then they got cal coming in. 355 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 2: They've still got to play Clemson. They've got to go 356 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: to Miami, they go to Notre Dame the FSU Florida game. 357 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: I cannot even imagine, like it is otherworldly to try 358 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 2: and comprehend where those respective programs could be by that point. 359 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 2: But I am told that football game will happen. It 360 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 2: will happen in three months, but it will happen. Who 361 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: Josh Pains College Football. 362 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: Show on the air? Here. 363 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 2: If you've missed the reason for the name change, it's okay, 364 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 2: there is. There is a penned video on the YouTube 365 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: channel right now that explains not only why the name 366 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: of the show changed, it's a very good reason, but 367 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: also it explains every other thing about this show, So 368 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: if you've ever had any questions, check it out. And 369 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: the other big news that happened last week is we 370 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 2: are now once again presented by Academy Sports and Outdoors. 371 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: They've always been a presence on the show. It's just 372 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: bookkeeping differences doesn't really concern you, guys. However, what does 373 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: concern you is that little blank spot in your closet, 374 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: that little spot on the shelf. 375 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: There's room for something there. 376 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: Chances are whatever that's something is, they've got it at 377 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors. I know a lot of you 378 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: have tiny ones running around right now, and they are 379 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: already back in school or probably back in school, or 380 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 2: they're about to start fall sports, or have already started 381 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: fall sports. 382 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: I also know a lot of you hunt. 383 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,479 Speaker 2: I know a ton of you are outdoor types. I 384 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 2: know a lot of you love grilling pretty much. Every 385 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: one of you love college football. If you didn't, i'd 386 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: question while you're watching the show, although I'd appreciate it. 387 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 2: And I know you're into tailgating because I see oceans 388 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 2: of you every Saturday. I will see you guys in 389 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: ann Arbor, Michigan this Saturday. I just ask that you 390 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: check out a Sports and Outdoors that should be your 391 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 2: tailgating HQ. They got everything you need and some stuff. 392 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: That you didn't know you needed. So we always appreciate Academy. 393 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 2: They've been with us nearly from the beginning, and they 394 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: make everyone's lives a whole lot easier. Okay, good start 395 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 2: to the show here. Good energy unless you're a Florida 396 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 2: State fan. But some necessary energy even if you're a 397 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 2: Florida State fan. 398 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: But now we get to. 399 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: The part of the show that will alienate a solid 400 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 2: seventy percent of you from me. JP Pole is here 401 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 2: Week two edition. These are not rankings. You're gonna notice 402 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: some teams that won and went down. You're gonna notice 403 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: some teams lost and in some cases went up. 404 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: This is power rating world. This is neutral field favorability. 405 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: I don't explain this ad nauseum every week, but just 406 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 2: so you know, I know we got it thousands of 407 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: you that are new and watching and listening for the 408 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: first time. This stuff's not gonna make sense if you 409 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 2: think I'm trying to rank these teams. I do not 410 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: think this is what the Playoff Comittee poll should look like. 411 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 2: If they release the rankings today, I cannot be any 412 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: clearer on that, and yet there will still be disagreement. 413 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: So let's dive in and I'm gonna give you some 414 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: facts along the way. I'm gonna give you a top 415 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: twenty five. Number one is unchanged. Number one is Georgia. 416 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: But there is a change here. Georgia is opening up 417 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: a little bit of an early season gap. I'll give 418 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: you that in a second. So Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, Bama, 419 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: and Penn State is the number five team in the country. 420 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: So Georgia right now, I got a ten point gap. 421 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: The model has a ten point gap between them and 422 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: number five, which is Penn State. Now, I certainly know 423 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 2: if I put Georgia in Penn State on the neutral 424 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: field today and I favored Georgia by ten, all of 425 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 2: you would lay the ten. That's okay. I'm just telling 426 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: you what the model thinks. You're free to disagree with it. 427 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: Texas is at number two, they're up two spots. Ohio 428 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 2: State dropped the spot. Now, you got to understand when 429 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: I'm talking about rising and dropping, sometimes you drop not 430 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 2: because your grade changed, but because other team's grades changed, 431 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: And now the net result is there higher than you. 432 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: That explains that there's not a whole lot of movement here. 433 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: The movement was actually Georgia. Georgia just secured or firmed 434 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: up their grip on number one. Now we'll see if 435 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: that maintains itself. But right now, Georgia we got a 436 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: fairly sizable, like a three, three and a half four 437 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: point gap between them and Texas. 438 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: Who's number two. 439 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: Georgia plays at number two, Texas, Georgia plays at number four. 440 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: Alabama Georgia plays at Ole Miss. In fact, Colin, go 441 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: ahead and show me six through ten. I think Old 442 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: Miss is in there, Yes they are. Georgia plays at 443 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: number nine Ole Miss, so Miami's a huge riser here. 444 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: The AP doesn't have Miami in the top ten, which 445 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 2: is just that's why we do the JP pole kids. Miami, 446 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: We've got it number six right now, highest I think 447 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 2: we've ever had Miami since I've done this. Oregon's down 448 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 2: four spots. Model was just disgusted with Oregon in week one. 449 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: And as I've told you, we don't need jerk, but 450 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: we do reserve in the model, reserves the right to 451 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: pivot pretty hard. Some of your hardesty. It should be 452 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 2: happening in the first few weeks of the season. Notre 453 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,239 Speaker 2: Dame they got a big win at Texas A and M. 454 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 2: I told you I had a sneaking suspicion Notre Dame 455 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,239 Speaker 2: would not move in the JP Pole. They did not 456 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: move their number eight. That doesn't mean they didn't get rewarded. 457 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: That means we already had them rated properly and they 458 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: did about what the number eight rated team in the 459 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: country should do against Texas A and M. So nothing more, 460 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 2: nothing less. And in case you missed it earlier, I 461 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: did misspeak the other day, Notre Dame has an elite secondary. 462 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 2: I was trying to say, there aren't elite pieces on 463 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: their offense. Therefore the margin for error is going to 464 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 2: be a little bit lower. But their schedule is workable, 465 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: so they are probably going to the playoff. That's what 466 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: I was trying to say, Ole missus nine. Tennessee is 467 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: number ten. I would have Tennessee a little bit north 468 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 2: of some of these teams, just saying if these were 469 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 2: my own power ratings, which they're supposed to be, but 470 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 2: I was not yielding to the model, Tennessee would be 471 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: even higher than ten for me. Next up, how about 472 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 2: number eleven? What do we have for them? The University 473 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: of Southern California is the number eleven team in the 474 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 2: Jpee Pole. I don't need to see anymore. I know 475 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: some of you do, as judging from the comments I 476 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: got when I talked about this the other night, I 477 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 2: think USC is a big ten championship contender. 478 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: The model agrees. 479 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: So the model has about a touchdown gap right now 480 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: between USC at eleven and the favorites up there Ohio State, 481 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 2: Penn State is right up there, Oregon, USC is still 482 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of a point spread gap there 483 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: not nearly as big as it was USC. It loved 484 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 2: to see more from the run game. But I was 485 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: just flat out wrong back in the spring. I didn't 486 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 2: think D'Anton lynn could do in one spring summer what 487 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 2: he had done at UCLA, and a lot of folks 488 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 2: over on the peristyle told me I was wrong, and 489 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 2: I got to salute you guys. Early return looks like 490 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 2: that's one to nothing. You guys lead me. USC number eleven, 491 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: Kansas State twelve. LSU didn't drop much, So let me 492 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: tell you what the model looked at. Model looked at 493 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 2: that and said, LSU still a really good team. It's 494 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 2: just that USC was probably underrated, and so it reacted accordingly. 495 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 2: So LSU is still pretty much right where they were. 496 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 2: Utah number fourteen, Oklahoma's fifteen. Oklahoma dropped three spots. It's 497 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 2: not cause they lost or did anything bad in Week one, 498 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: It's just other teams were upgraded and ended up rising 499 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: above their overall power rating. Next up sixteen through twenty 500 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 2: is as follows. Michigan big dropper, Missouri, Louisville huge riser. 501 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,239 Speaker 2: Texas A and m fell pretty precipitously and Iowa at 502 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 2: number twenty. So Michigan is just a dogfight against Presno 503 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 2: State and they stretched it late, very unimpressive, and they 504 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 2: got Texas. We'll see Michigan in person this Saturday, so 505 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 2: forget week one. Like if they beat Texas, no one 506 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: has to worry about anything with Michigan. Missouri seventeen. They 507 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 2: dropped two spots. That's more a condition of people rising 508 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 2: above them. A and M down nine spots. Now, the 509 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 2: Model is not going to drop A and M out 510 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: of the top twenty five because they lost at home 511 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: by ten to a top ten team, but it did 512 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 2: punish them. Quarterback is not necessarily the position and strength 513 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 2: that we thought that the Model thought, so A and 514 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 2: M did fall. Iowa is sitting here hosting Iowa State 515 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: this weekend. They are number twenty right now, and number 516 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 2: twenty one through twenty five will show you that number 517 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 2: twenty Iowa is facing number twenty four Iowa State. It 518 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: goes Clemson, Kentucky, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, UCF. Clemson's down 519 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 2: two spots. Clemson didn't drop a whole lot even though 520 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 2: they got blown out, because we already weren't that high 521 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: on Clemson. We had Clemson nineteen and so they got 522 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 2: blown out by the number one team in the country 523 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: and therefore dropping two spots, but not really all that much. 524 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: Clemson. 525 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: We think we pretty much had properly rated already. Kentucky 526 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: is one of the sneakiest teams in the country. Kentucky 527 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 2: played South Carolina this Saturdy. It's a ramanudle express best 528 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: bet we laid nine and a half. That line already 529 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 2: moved to ten and a half, So if you didn't 530 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: watch the Sunday show, you already missed out on the 531 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 2: best number there. Oklahoma State Mike Gundy, I kid you not, 532 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 2: is doing his coaches show at a senior living facility 533 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: in Stillwater and it's sponsored. So he found the most 534 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: either the most crotchety or the most favorable group that 535 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 2: he could possibly speak in front of, and he does 536 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: his coaches show. 537 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. There are pictures I should have. 538 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 2: Gotten one for you at I don't think it's called 539 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: a nursing home, but it's an assisted senior living facility. 540 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 2: And there's a picture floating around out there of him 541 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 2: on the stage, and then there's another picture of the 542 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 2: crowd and the average age is like ninety. It's great, 543 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 2: it's awesome. I fully approve of like two thumbs up 544 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 2: on the effort. It's just a little jarring as a photo. 545 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 2: That is not why Oklahoma State fell to spots. Oklahoma 546 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 2: State is unchanged. A couple of teams rows above them. 547 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: So there's UCF at number twenty five. So that's the 548 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 2: JP pole. I welcome all comments. Here's what I will say. 549 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: You're free to save whatever you want to about this. 550 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 2: Here's the worst comment that I get. 551 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: This is wrong. 552 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: Really, you mean you don't agree with me on one 553 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: through twenty five in a poll? How about you tell 554 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 2: me where it's wrong, and how about you tell me 555 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 2: why it's wrong, and how about you give me your 556 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 2: one through twenty five based on what I'm trying to 557 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: do here. We don't care about rankings. I'm doing neutral 558 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 2: field favorability. I had a guy last week. I can't 559 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 2: remember which matchup it was, but I had a guy 560 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: come at me, and man, I wish I realized remember 561 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: what matchup it was. I mean there was a there 562 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 2: was like a two touchdown favorite that had lost out right, 563 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: and so you know, I did the whole thing where 564 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 2: I said, well, the favorite would be favored again this week, 565 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: and that guy said, well, if I ran a sports book, 566 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: they wouldn't. Well, it's it's mentalities like that that actually 567 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 2: build the sports books, but not for you. Your money builds 568 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: it for someone else, because that is ignorance. 569 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: That's not how this works. 570 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: I don't have a problem if you rank a team higher, 571 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 2: but when we're talking about power ratings here. 572 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: It's just a different philosophy entirely. 573 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys were tuned in on 574 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 2: Saturday morning, but College Game Day emanated from College Station 575 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 2: Texas last Saturday. It's not my network. I don't work 576 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 2: at ESPN. I'm not here to promote it necessarily, although 577 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 2: I don't care. It's a great show. But did you 578 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 2: see what I saw? Because we were doing a little 579 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: cursory scan of the background back there, and a whole 580 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 2: lot of. 581 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: Jesus Saves signs. 582 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 2: I think Jesus has now sponsored College Game Day, which 583 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 2: I'm all for. But in the midst of all the 584 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 2: Jesus Saves and John three sixteen signs that got in there, 585 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 2: not that we equate ourselves to that, but we did 586 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 2: get a quick trip paid state sign or two or 587 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: three in there and challaive supremacy are on the way 588 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 2: to our respective soldiers out there in the field. Because 589 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: the rule around here I always clap when I say 590 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 2: it is, if you get this show public notoriety, you 591 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: have done more for us than we could ever do 592 00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: for you. But we will send you a challice of 593 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: supreme shall live. Supremacy cannot be purchased. They can only 594 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: be earned, and that's how you earn one. The entire 595 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 2: tour is sponsored by Quick Trip. They are fueling our 596 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: tour and we'll be actually momentarily I'm gonna cover the game. 597 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 2: We will be at ann Arbor this Saturday. You know, 598 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: I don't work at Fox either, but it is Big 599 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 2: Noon kickoff. You know, I don't work for either of 600 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: those networks, but College Game Day and Big Noon are 601 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: emanating from the same city this Saturday, and I just 602 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: would be a shame. It would be a shame if 603 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 2: our insignia crashed the party there. It wouldn't be a 604 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: shame at all. Feel free, Feel free, There are no rules, 605 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 2: Feel free to do whatever it is you want to do. 606 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: This is America, after all. 607 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: Do whatever you want to do, all right, Appreciate Quick Trip, 608 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: appreciate the fine folks at Quick Trip. 609 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: For fueling the tour. And speaking of the tour, Colin, 610 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: why not. 611 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a little swig from the nondescript water 612 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: jug here and we will break this game down. 613 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: Okay, huge game. Been looking forward to this one. 614 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 2: Texas at Michigan this Saturday. It is a noon Eastern 615 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 2: time kickoff on Fox. And will be there the whole 616 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: New Saturday tour right there on the sideline in the 617 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 2: Big House. Been up there several times recently. I had 618 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 2: statsin Info find the number for me. I have been 619 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 2: to seven Michigan games in the past three years and 620 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 2: Michigan is six and one. The one loss was to 621 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 2: melt Tucker or maybe Kenneth Walker the third and Michigan State. 622 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,959 Speaker 1: Otherwise, They've beaten Saban with me in the building. 623 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 2: They've beaten Ryan Day thrice with me in the building, 624 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 2: James Franklin last year. But Washington they won a national title, 625 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 2: but it Meltucker was the one that tripped him up. 626 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: This is a true Week two special. 627 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 2: Mima always warned to make observations but not draw conclusions 628 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 2: in Week one because Week two has crushed many a 629 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: man's bank roll before the week two specially in college football, 630 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 2: is this. 631 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: You watched both of these teams last week. 632 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 2: Probably Michigan struggles feels like they can't get out of 633 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: their own way against Fresno. Now, the final score ended 634 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: up looking okay, but it took a long time to 635 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: get to thirty to ten. 636 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Texas is just naming the. 637 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 2: Score against Colorado State fifty two to nothing could have 638 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 2: been seventy two to nothing. And your mind is working 639 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: against you here because your mind sees that what does 640 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: fand will have this Texas only minus seven and a half. 641 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: That's your first mistake. 642 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 2: Your first mistake is saying a team's only favored by 643 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 2: north of a touchdown against Michigan at home. This doesn't 644 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 2: happen hardly at all, and so that's the first thing. 645 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 2: The second thing is there's always multiple examples EXAMPI plural 646 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 2: of example of teams that look like a race car 647 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: in week one, and then there's a team that looks 648 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: like I mean, they are molasses in December in week one, 649 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 2: and then they meet in week two, and you see 650 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 2: that the psychology of going through those respective examples of 651 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: week one performance have an effect on how they play 652 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 2: in week two and when they meet each other. Your 653 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: mind is thinking in terms of highlight like all you 654 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: think about when you think about Texas last year, last 655 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 2: week is you think receivers running in the open field. 656 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: You think Quinn you were just splitting. 657 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 2: It, seam right there and receiver to the house. And 658 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: then conversely with Michigan, you're thinking plotting slow. Davis Warren 659 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: gets the start, but that's not a full football game, 660 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 2: nor is it what this game will be this week. 661 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 2: So the Michigan defense knows the game, is my point. 662 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 2: Michigan defense does not come into this one thinking hopefully 663 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 2: offense can put up thirty five and will just do 664 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 2: our part. That will not be in all likelihood how 665 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: this plays out. How it plays out is this Michigan 666 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 2: defense is held ten of their last sixteen opponents to 667 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 2: ten points or less. And while you're probably not holding 668 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: Texas to ten or less, they come into this thing 669 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: knowing we've got to play a disproportionate role in winning 670 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 2: this football game. Now is that unfair? I don't know. 671 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: It's football, so suck it up. But I think they're 672 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: totally comfortable with it. I think Michigan defensively is a 673 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 2: unit that relishes it and prides itself in being in 674 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 2: a position where it's not quite Iowa bad. But hey, 675 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: this team here, in this moment situation early in the year, 676 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 2: we're probably going to have to go out there and 677 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 2: not only we're going to have to stop them, they 678 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 2: have to take the ball away a couple of times, 679 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,719 Speaker 2: maybe have to disproportionately win the average starting field position 680 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: battle because we force a bunch of punts, maybe a 681 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: couple of fumbles, and we start at midfield, and maybe 682 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 2: a ten point swing in the game happens that way. 683 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 2: Defense not an issue last week. There were some issues 684 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 2: with Michigan, but defense wasn't one of them. Fresno had 685 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 2: nine rushing yards. Fresno is not a bad team. So 686 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 2: what kind of game is this? If they do that 687 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: to Texas. Let's say I try and do the padlock stat. 688 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 2: Let's say Texas is two point seven yards per carry 689 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 2: this Saturday. They're really banged up at running back, they're 690 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 2: thin there. We've seen Michigan do this. We've seen them 691 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 2: turn teams one dimensional. Even the good teams when they're 692 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 2: one dimensional, don't plan on that, so they can struggle 693 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 2: So if I were to tell you that line's seven 694 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 2: and a half in favor of Texas, Texas is under 695 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 2: three yards procureing how much does that change this game? 696 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 2: I'd say a lot. Can we assure ourselves? Can we 697 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 2: make that forecast? Texas I think is the deepest group 698 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: of pass catchers that Michigan will face all year. 699 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: Oregon comes in there. 700 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you make the argument that Oregon has a 701 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: better top end guys, but the depth at Michigan bond 702 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: wing go, John T. Cook, Matthew Golden blues good even 703 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 2: out of the backfield in the pass game, and then 704 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 2: Helm and Ny Black at tight ends, Silo's boldens there. 705 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: So they just they are so deep. 706 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 2: That was the intel we started to get in the 707 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 2: latter portions of camp. It absolutely was validated in Week one, 708 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: even against Colorado State. You can see how many weapons 709 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: they have. So I'd feel great if I were Michigan 710 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 2: that I have Will Johnson. But Will Johnson alone or 711 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 2: any one corner alone is not gonna answer this. It's 712 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 2: got to be a collective effort of that secondary and 713 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: those linebackers, and honestly, you got to get a whole 714 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 2: lot of pressure up front too, But just finding a 715 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 2: couple of openings you're gonna be able to probably limit 716 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 2: Michigan's scoring. So you don't have to score on every 717 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 2: drive here, but finding a few openings yards after catch 718 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 2: not normally easy. 719 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:27,760 Speaker 1: To come by against Texas. 720 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 2: But the explosives, if they're there, it may not be 721 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 2: one dude lighting it up. It may be that you 722 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 2: look at that stat sheet and Bond's got two catches, 723 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 2: but for sixty three yards because. 724 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: He popped one big play. 725 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 2: Bolden one catch, but it's for thirty eight yards because 726 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 2: he popped one big play. This Texas offense think about 727 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: this with quinn ewers a lot to prove. 728 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. 729 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 2: Those are just storylines and talking points. There are po 730 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 2: games gonna be a problem for Michigan, and it's in 731 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 2: important to note that it's a same quarterback in a 732 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 2: third year with the same coordinator he's had for a 733 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 2: third year. So there's no figuring anything out here. Familiarizing 734 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 2: yourself with your talent that you have out wide is 735 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 2: one thing, but outside of that, they should be able 736 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 2: to click here. They should Michigan last year, and this 737 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 2: is one of the most important points in this game. 738 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: To mean, Michigan last year. 739 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 2: Led ninety five percent of the snaps in football games, 740 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the snaps in Michigan games last year. 741 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 2: They had the lead, so they didn't trail a whole lot. 742 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 2: They did against Bama, and they were resilient and they 743 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 2: came back and won the game. So it's not that 744 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 2: it was impossible, but a lot of those pieces are gone, 745 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: a lot of those coaches are gone. 746 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: So you've got some. 747 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 2: Folks left over here that experienced that. You got some 748 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 2: players here that experienced that, but a lot of the 749 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 2: reasons for the experience are gone. So if this team 750 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 2: finds itself in a hole at home or on the road, 751 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: I don't care if they played this game on the moon, 752 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 2: how do they respond Because Texas can do that to you. 753 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 2: Texas can cattle project to the early. 754 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: In this game. 755 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 2: I think Texas has a strong special team's edge, maybe 756 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 2: from a personnel perspective, definitely from a coaching perspective. But 757 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 2: at the same time, we have seen Michigan do it before. 758 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,720 Speaker 2: I have stood there and watched Michigan do it before. 759 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 2: They played Penix in Washington in the National Title Game 760 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: last year, and there were some folks they don't admit 761 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 2: it because it didn't happen. But there were some folks saying, man, Washington, 762 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 2: they're just too hot. I mean, no one's stopping this 763 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 2: passing game. Well, Michigan did. Penix was twenty seven to 764 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 2: fifty one, and a lot of that's garbage time too. 765 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 2: Touched down two interceptions, and it's just it's you're watching it. 766 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 2: You're saying, oh man, he's just missing. Oh man, these 767 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 2: throws are just out of reach. Well, what do you 768 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 2: think his hands were slippery? Michigan's got a lot. 769 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: To do with that. 770 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 2: So Colin, let's take a look at what the model thinks. 771 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 2: The FanDuel number right now is Texas minus seven and 772 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 2: a half. Model has Texas minus eight and a half. 773 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 2: So there is a slight lean towards Texas to win 774 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 2: and cover. I think this one's going to be a 775 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 2: fight historically in recent history, especially when we say that 776 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 2: about a Texas game, that means the other team's. 777 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 1: Going to cover or win. 778 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 2: The big point of emphasis for this Texas team joining 779 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 2: the SEC, but also even if they were still in 780 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 2: the Big twelve, needing to beat the teams, they're going 781 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 2: to have to beat to get where they want to go, 782 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 2: has been placing a premium on toughness and physicality. Okay, 783 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 2: so the perception is Texas is going to try and 784 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 2: go in here and try and run all around Michigan. 785 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 2: Michigan's going to try and run through Texas and you know, 786 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 2: just classic bully ball inkin Texas with stand it like, 787 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 2: can Texas handle it? The mentality from Texas should be no, 788 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,439 Speaker 2: we can actually go in there and deal that out too. 789 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: I think they can. 790 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 2: Not to say that Michigan's about to get put on skates, 791 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 2: but there's no excuse based on the way Texas has 792 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 2: recruited and based on the mentality they've tried to instill 793 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 2: in their program. 794 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: Why they go get their nose bloodied and then just 795 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: cower in a corner Saturday. So I got the offensive 796 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: edge here. 797 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 2: I think Texas can do enough to match physicality that 798 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna be leaned strongly against them. 799 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,479 Speaker 2: I'll roll the dice. Michigan fans will love this because 800 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 2: I did it last year. I'll take Texas to win 801 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 2: and cover. I'll tell them, I'll take them to make 802 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 2: the kind of statement on the road they made at 803 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 2: Bama a couple of years ago. 804 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: I will I will roll those dice. I'll be the 805 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:30,800 Speaker 1: one who does it. 806 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 2: They're watching us in wilkes Bury, Pennsylvania, Carrollton, Georgia, Go Trojans, Canton, Ohio. 807 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 2: They're all tuned in. Appreciate you guys so much. Now, 808 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 2: that's the big game, but that's certainly not the only game. 809 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: Friends. 810 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 2: Also, if you're tuned in, in fact, you're just gonna 811 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 2: have to pause for a second. Here, keep the show free. 812 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 2: I'm typing in the live chat. Subscribe to the channel, 813 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 2: Thank you, and there we go. Okay, So Colorado plays 814 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 2: in Nebraska this Saturday. Do you remember where we were 815 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 2: last year? Do you remember where you were last year? 816 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 2: Remember where the season was? So Colorado had come into 817 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 2: the season. They went to TCU fresh off TCU playing 818 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 2: in the National title game. And Colorado goes in there 819 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 2: and beats them pretty handily. And this was the week 820 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,240 Speaker 2: two game. So they're coming home hype like you would 821 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 2: not believe. And Matt Rule's coming in there with Nebraska 822 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 2: and this is an old rivalry renewed. And Colorado ends 823 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: up winning the game and then it's just off to 824 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 2: the races. Like the Colorado hype machine was on full blast. 825 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 2: We started having to pay the dion tax in college football, 826 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 2: And for those who don't remember what that is is 827 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 2: go look it up. It's a term we had to 828 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 2: create for the amount of casual opinions that started to 829 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 2: pour into the sport from people who barely can spell 830 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 2: college football, let alone have ever watched it. But it 831 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 2: was a good thing because it brought more eyeball the sport. 832 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,359 Speaker 2: But man, folks started to say some stupid stuff last year. 833 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 2: So post TCU win, they beat Nebraska last year, and 834 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 2: we were asking, is Colorado really legit? Well this year 835 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 2: they're coming off a very close competitive win against North 836 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 2: Dakota State, and here we are once again asking Colorado 837 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 2: are they legit? Was that vintage North Dakota State they 838 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 2: beat last week or was that just a whole home 839 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 2: FCS opponent and they struggled mightily at home? 840 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: Well we will find out here now. 841 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 2: Last year in this game Colorado Nebraska, Colorado won thirty 842 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 2: six to fourteen. This was back in the Jeff Simms era. 843 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 2: I say back in this was last year. Jeff Simms 844 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 2: was bad at. 845 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: Quarterback for them. 846 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 2: Nebraska had four turnovers in this game maddening to watch 847 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 2: if you are a Nebraska backer. But Nebraska also sacked 848 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,240 Speaker 2: Shudor Sanders eight times in this game, and they should 849 00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 2: have success there again. 850 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: First thing I'm focus. Here's the difference. 851 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 2: Unlike last year when Nebraska got after Shadur they were 852 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,439 Speaker 2: just getting after him to take the ball to put 853 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 2: it in Jeff Simms hands. This year, when they get 854 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,760 Speaker 2: the ball taken away, it gets put in the hands 855 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 2: of Dylan Royolo, who is a true freshman quarterback who 856 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 2: goes on the road, well he's not on the road, 857 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 2: who is in a premier environment for the first time, 858 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 2: even at home. I'm kind of a national profile game 859 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 2: for the first time. You never know how a guy's 860 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 2: going to handle that. I expect he'll be okay. But 861 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 2: he is a much different weapon for them. The first 862 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 2: time he touched a football in that building. He was 863 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 2: a different caliber weapon for them at quarterback than anything 864 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 2: they had had last year. Isaiah Nayer six catches week, 865 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty one yards and a touchdown. Remember 866 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,399 Speaker 2: that name. Wyoming then to Texas and Nebraska here so 867 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 2: they can they can do a lot more when they're 868 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 2: given the opportunity. I think they will be able to 869 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 2: do a lot more. But I'll tell you what else. 870 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 2: They ought to be able to run the ball. They 871 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 2: ought to be able to run the ball really effectively. 872 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 2: Chadure maybe facing the toughest defense he faces all year here. 873 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,919 Speaker 2: We'll see how that statement pans out. But he's good enough. 874 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 2: Shador Sanders is good enough to throw it on anyone. 875 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 2: Travis Hunter's good enough to score on anyone. Horn good 876 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 2: enough to score on anyone. Nebraska can force longer drives here. 877 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 2: I think one of the big keys when you watched 878 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 2: Colorado and gets North Dakota State, big explosive plays they. 879 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: Scored on was the key. 880 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 2: And they'll do that to you if you're not careful, 881 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 2: which is why Nebraska. There's a fine line of playing 882 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 2: aggressive but also being really smart and playing within your plan. 883 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 2: And I think their plan will have some aggressiveness because 884 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 2: they've got the personnel to do it, and they certainly 885 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,760 Speaker 2: got the defensive coaching staff to give them a major edger. 886 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 2: Nebraska's defensive coaching staff is a big tactical advantage in 887 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 2: this game. Our grades in the model and these coaching 888 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 2: staffs bear that out. But also don't do it to 889 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 2: the point where you almost got home but Shador eluded you, 890 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 2: and other's Travis Hunter all by himself. 891 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 1: There's Horn all by himself. Don't allow that to happen. 892 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: Don't think they will. 893 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 2: And so if Colorado scores, and they probably will if 894 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 2: it's on a nine or ten play drive, so be 895 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 2: it two or three play drive not acceptable. 896 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: They've also got to flip the turnover script here. 897 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 2: Last year, Nebraska had to be desperate because they got 898 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 2: down and they had to throw the ball and that 899 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 2: led to more turnovers and Jeff Simms fumbling. You might 900 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 2: end up putting Colorado in that spot this year. And 901 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 2: either you do that or we find out that Shadur 902 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 2: operates seamlessly and they go into this environment and operate seamlessly, 903 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 2: and that means Nebraska's not quite ready yet. Two very 904 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 2: divergent paths there By the way, this game screams fireworks. 905 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:51,439 Speaker 1: I know it does. 906 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,280 Speaker 2: I know a lot of folks were thinking Dylan Ryola 907 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 2: coming out party, Shadoor Sanders. We know what we have there. 908 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 2: It's one of the best quarterbacks in the country. But 909 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 2: let me let me just inform you the model is 910 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 2: blinking there's a red light over here and it's blinking. 911 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 2: Both defenses having a major edge coaching wise against the opposition. 912 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 2: So we've got two way d edge here from a 913 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,759 Speaker 2: coaching perspective. Nebraska ran it for two hundred and twenty 914 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,839 Speaker 2: two yards in this game last year. 915 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,720 Speaker 1: That's the game. That's how you take all the variants 916 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: out of it. 917 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 2: If Colorado can't stop you running, and then you force 918 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,359 Speaker 2: them to go on long drives to score. What I 919 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 2: just gave you the recipe for is an under. I'm 920 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 2: not betting it yet because. 921 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: I think this may hit sixty or sixty one. When 922 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: it does. 923 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a fireworks game as much as 924 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,839 Speaker 2: most other people I think will. I think we may 925 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 2: have an under here. So got a true freshman quarterback 926 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 2: in Ryola. And by the way, Colin, let's take a 927 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,839 Speaker 2: look at what the model thinks here. The FanDuel line 928 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 2: right now is Nebraska minus seven and a half. The 929 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 2: model is right there seven. I thought it would be 930 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,280 Speaker 2: bigger on Nebraska, but it's not a lot of points 931 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 2: a lot of points here. I think the run game 932 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 2: plus the defense flipping the script from last year is 933 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 2: going to be enough. I am going to take Nebraska 934 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 2: to win this game, but because that half point is 935 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,840 Speaker 2: showing right now at FanDuel, I would take Colorado plus 936 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 2: anything over seven. 937 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 1: So I think it'll be a competitive game. 938 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 2: I do think Colorado will hang here more than hang 939 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 2: I think they've got a shot to win the game, 940 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 2: and they'll be there at the end. I think that 941 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 2: there's a world where it's a blowout. I don't think 942 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 2: we live in that world, but I think there's a 943 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 2: world where that happens. But I'm gonna take Nebraska to win, 944 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 2: Colorado to cover. I'm more interested in the total. I 945 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,439 Speaker 2: just want to see what happens with that. I think 946 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,720 Speaker 2: we got a we got a lot of over money 947 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 2: that still has time to come in. 948 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 1: Okay, let's move on. 949 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 2: I got something to talk to you guys about here 950 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 2: in just a second. We got something happening in college 951 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 2: football right now that I'm excited about. A quick reminder, 952 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 2: so our numbers are wonderful in the channel right now, 953 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 2: do me one small favor, check and make sure you're 954 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 2: some described because. 955 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: A lot of you think you are. Even if you 956 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 1: think you are. 957 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 2: Check because I did this with two of my favorite 958 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 2: channels the other day. And I was not subscribed to him. 959 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. Somali hackers probably got to me. 960 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 2: But nevertheless, on podcast and YouTube, make sure you're subscribe 961 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 2: and then go recruit five of your friends to do 962 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 2: the same thing. 963 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: And that is the only favor that I will ever 964 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:22,839 Speaker 1: ask from you. Thank you so much. 965 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 2: You're doing it every day, over one thousand per day 966 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,839 Speaker 2: right now. I just would love that to continue. It's 967 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 2: a nice little boost of emotional support in the morning 968 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 2: when we get the analytics update. 969 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 1: Here we go. 970 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 2: I am excited about this piece of paper I hold 971 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 2: in my hand. I think something's happening in college football. 972 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 2: And individually, I know all of you saw it in 973 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 2: week one, but collectively, we need to think through this 974 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 2: together for just a second. 975 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 1: Now. 976 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 2: I know you guys have friends or maybe some of 977 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 2: you yourselves have said college football is just better when 978 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 2: certain teams are good. I've never wholeheartedly bought into that. 979 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,760 Speaker 2: Like Texas was bad for a long time, college football 980 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 2: was fine, Notre Dame. There have been periods where they're bad. 981 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 2: College football has been fine. Bama's been in the wilderness 982 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 2: before college football survived just fine. However, it is true 983 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 2: I think that there are about ten teams that control 984 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 2: a majority of the interest disproportionately in the sport, and 985 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,280 Speaker 2: if a large combination of them are good and relevant 986 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,879 Speaker 2: at the same time, it's undeniable that it upgrades the 987 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 2: national interest in the sport. So anything that upgrades the 988 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 2: interest in our sport, it's okay by me. Why I've 989 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 2: never had a problem. 990 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 1: With Dion Sanders. 991 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 2: I think it's happening right now. College football is not 992 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 2: hurting for viewership. But do you notice what's happening right now? 993 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 2: Miami trucked Florida in the swamp in Week one. USC 994 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 2: just beat LSU in Week one. Notre Dame went into 995 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 2: Kyle Field in College Station as a dog and came 996 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,839 Speaker 2: out with a win in Week one. All three of 997 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 2: them are three of the biggest brands in this sport. 998 00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,760 Speaker 2: Two of the three have been out in the desert 999 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 2: for quite a while, and Notre Dame has not wandered away, 1000 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 2: but they haven't been at the playoff table in a 1001 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,280 Speaker 2: few years, and all three of them beat SEC teams 1002 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 2: in route to moving to one to zero the odds 1003 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 2: to win the national championship. Right now, if you're looking 1004 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 2: on the screen, Southern cows on the list. Now Miami's 1005 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 2: for eight ninth in the country in national championship oods 1006 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 2: and Notre Dame seventh fourth to six seventh. 1007 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we. 1008 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,359 Speaker 2: Got three of our big names that at least through 1009 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 2: one week, appear to be back at the head table. 1010 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:35,400 Speaker 1: Now. 1011 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 2: I made this point the other night, and I love 1012 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 2: all of you. I think I can predict where a 1013 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 2: lot of the reactions going when I say something, so 1014 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 2: I would not have it any other way. The other 1015 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 2: night I said, USC, Notre Dame, and Miami look to 1016 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 2: be playoff contenders, and many of you are not ready 1017 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,440 Speaker 2: for this. And what I mean is, I don't think 1018 00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 2: a lot of you. We have a massive high school 1019 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 2: and college aged audience, A lot of you have never 1020 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 2: lived in that world. I have. 1021 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 1: I've lived in a world. I mean. 1022 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 2: It was back in the early two thousands, a mid 1023 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,279 Speaker 2: two thousands, etc. We had Pete Carroll making a run 1024 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 2: at USC. One of their most memorable games was against 1025 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 2: Charlie Weiss and Grass about that high up in South 1026 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 2: ben back when they still believed in real grass up there. 1027 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,359 Speaker 2: And then we were coming out of the early two 1028 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 2: thousands where Miami had just won another national championship with 1029 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,439 Speaker 2: maybe the most talented roster pound for pound of all time, 1030 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 2: and all of them are good at the same time, 1031 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 2: and then the next twenty years, unbeknownst to us, was 1032 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 2: going to feature none of them at the head table 1033 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 2: for periods and at least two out of the three 1034 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 2: not serious contenders. Well, what do the mid twenty twenties 1035 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 2: on have for us? What are the next ten years 1036 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,440 Speaker 2: of college football half for us? Look, I watched the 1037 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,280 Speaker 2: same game you guys did Sunday night. I watched USC 1038 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 2: go toe to toe with LSU. I watched him when 1039 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 2: picked him to win, but still had my doubts that 1040 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 2: they could do what they did defensively. I mean, Garrett 1041 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 2: Nussmeyer played a good game the other night, and for 1042 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 2: that matter, so did Miller. 1043 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: Moss played a better. 1044 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 2: Game in fact. And so they've got Caleb Williams leaving. 1045 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 2: And I told you, I think I said on the 1046 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,919 Speaker 2: show multiple times coming out of Big Ten media days 1047 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 2: and just talking to folks around USC. It's not that 1048 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 2: they said, oh, we're so glad Caleb Williams is gone. 1049 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 2: No one's foolish enough to say that. But what they 1050 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 2: said is we are really confident in what we have, 1051 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 2: and there were some who were even willing to go 1052 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 2: as far as to say Caleb was wonderful. But when 1053 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 2: it comes to playing within Lincoln Riley's system, whereas or 1054 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,439 Speaker 2: more excited about having Miller Moss than we even were him, 1055 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 2: Which sounds like sour grapes cause the guy's walking out 1056 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 2: the door until you see Miller Moss play within Lincoln 1057 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:55,319 Speaker 2: Riley's system, and then all. 1058 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: Of a sudden you realize, oh, oh, they were right. 1059 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,319 Speaker 1: He's really good. Oh. 1060 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 2: A lot of that confidence probably stemmed from these dudes 1061 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,959 Speaker 2: they have in this wide receiver room. But that wasn't 1062 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,680 Speaker 2: the takeaway, because Lincoln Riley has had explosive offenses before. 1063 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 2: He talked in January about how he was shifting that 1064 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 2: entire program philosophy, and I sat there and listened to it, 1065 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 2: and I said, I hope he's right. I think he's serious. 1066 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 2: I hope he knows what he's doing. But we got 1067 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,919 Speaker 2: to wait and see. It's not as easy as it looks. 1068 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 2: You don't just get to speak it into existence. And 1069 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 2: he went across town. I mean, I will tell you this. 1070 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 2: I was standing on the field at the PAC twelve 1071 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 2: championship game. 1072 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 1: I believe it was. 1073 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 2: It was in Las Vegas, and I was standing next 1074 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 2: to some people as specific as I'll get when he 1075 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,240 Speaker 2: made that hire. I heard it go down on the phone. 1076 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 2: I heard it happening, and so I said, Oh, it's 1077 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 2: a big hire. That's a big deal. Is it going 1078 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 2: to work though, because it takes more than just hiring 1079 00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 2: a guy. Is it gonna work? It looks like it's 1080 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,839 Speaker 2: going to work. Immediately, it looks like it's gonna work. 1081 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,760 Speaker 2: So if that's the case, let's just say this out loud. 1082 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley with pretty good defense. That's a big ten 1083 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 2: championship contender. That's a national championship player this year maybe, 1084 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 2: but in years to come in general, that's a whole 1085 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,640 Speaker 2: new shift. That's a whole new chapter of USC and 1086 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:24,320 Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley. So remains to be seen. I will freely 1087 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 2: admit that's a one game sample size. For all we know, 1088 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,319 Speaker 2: LSU is horrible. I don't think they are, but for 1089 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 2: all we know they are, we've been fooled in week 1090 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 2: one before. I'm very excited, Miami, Sorry about that, common, 1091 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 2: I said Miami as he was pressing the button on 1092 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 2: the USC B role. 1093 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 1: So what do we think about Miami. 1094 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 2: Listen, I know that a lot of you hate Miami, 1095 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,239 Speaker 2: a lot of you hate USC, A lot of you 1096 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:48,919 Speaker 2: hate Notre Dame. 1097 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 1: I would never change that about you. 1098 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,840 Speaker 2: So I know that your mind and your heart especially 1099 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 2: is telling you when you see good results from these teams, 1100 00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:02,200 Speaker 2: it's fools gold, no way, huh, and you'll be drug 1101 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 2: kicking and screaming to the table of admitting that these 1102 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 2: teams are going to be legitimate for a while. I 1103 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 2: think Miami's the same thing. I think Miami's been building 1104 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 2: towards this for a couple of years. I think that 1105 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 2: Georgia Tech outcome last year. It gave all the ammunition 1106 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 2: in the world to people who want a doubt christ 1107 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 2: Ball as a head coach. No one doubts him as 1108 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 2: a recruiter, a talent acquirer of a people doubt him 1109 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 2: as a game day coach. People doubt him and his 1110 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,440 Speaker 2: ability to put together a good staff. I think he 1111 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,120 Speaker 2: had a good staff last year. I think they got 1112 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 2: a good staff this year. They made some dumb decisions 1113 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,279 Speaker 2: in a game that lost them a game and it 1114 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,600 Speaker 2: derailed their season, and quarterback went total deer in the headlights, 1115 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:42,880 Speaker 2: and they turned the ball over a lot and they 1116 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 2: lost last year, but lost in all that was, they 1117 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 2: improved last year and then they started stacking a second 1118 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 2: recruiting class on top of the first one they got, 1119 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 2: and they went and got cam Ward and went and 1120 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 2: nailed it in the transfer portal, and they got the 1121 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 2: best roster in the ACC now opinion, and they ought 1122 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 2: to win the ACC and they ought to be an 1123 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,880 Speaker 2: eleven game plus winner this year, and they ought to 1124 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 2: go win the conference and have a first round buying 1125 00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 2: the playoff. That's what we predicted in the summer. That's 1126 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,479 Speaker 2: what they look like they're in route to now. Long 1127 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 2: way to go, but they're the favorite fan duel right 1128 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,759 Speaker 2: now as you see, to win the conference. But is 1129 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 2: it long term? Are they back long term? Because Florida 1130 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,279 Speaker 2: State won this thing last year and they're terrible now. 1131 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 2: So is it more than just that USC Miami? Is 1132 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,280 Speaker 2: it more than just that I got less doubt about 1133 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 2: Notre Dame than any of them, because Notre Dame hasn't 1134 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,920 Speaker 2: been bad. Notre Dame lost Brian Kelly and put Marcus 1135 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 2: Freeman in the head coaching position and now a couple 1136 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 2: of years later, they're still winning, They're a better recruiter 1137 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 2: than they were when Brian Kelly was there. 1138 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 1: But the pair of. 1139 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 2: Coordinators he's got, and think about now, think about Al Golden, 1140 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 2: and think about Mike Denbrock being there, those that may 1141 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,279 Speaker 2: be the best coordinator due of certainly one of the 1142 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,760 Speaker 2: best coordinator due iss in the country. They were willing 1143 00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:01,359 Speaker 2: to go coach for him when the best with options 1144 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 2: are willing to buy in and go coach for a 1145 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 2: guy that doesn't have a lot of head coaching experience. 1146 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: That says all you need to know in my opinion. 1147 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,880 Speaker 2: The fact that Notre Dame bet on him also says 1148 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 2: a whole lot about the quality and caliber of Marcus Freeman. 1149 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 2: And so now they're not going anywhere either. 1150 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:17,879 Speaker 1: Like Notre Dame. 1151 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 2: You can argue with me whether they'll be elite at 1152 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,879 Speaker 2: any point. You can argue with me whether they'll take 1153 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 2: the step into national title contention. That's a show for 1154 00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,880 Speaker 2: another day. I'm just telling you Notre Dame, Miami and 1155 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 2: usc ALL being here again it's meaningful. It's not meaningful 1156 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,719 Speaker 2: for you and me because we would watch anyway. We 1157 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,799 Speaker 2: would watch if these teams were winless, because we love 1158 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,920 Speaker 2: college football is what we live for. But your cousin, Leroy, 1159 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:49,880 Speaker 2: your mom, you know who is drawn to the golden helmets, Traveler, 1160 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 2: you know, the trojan mascot that rides the horse up 1161 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 2: and down the sideline. 1162 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 1: Sebastian, the ibis watching. 1163 00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,399 Speaker 2: Games in Miami with palm trees and the b as 1164 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 2: they go to and out of breaks. These are the 1165 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 2: sorts of things that draw people in. Not to mention, 1166 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 2: these are huge media markets that draw people in that 1167 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,879 Speaker 2: otherwise wouldn't be watching college football. And then once they're here, 1168 00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,879 Speaker 2: it's up. It's up to us to turn them into 1169 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,240 Speaker 2: P three, P two, P one. 1170 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 1: And all that. 1171 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,439 Speaker 2: But that's okay. So I wish Lincoln Riley the best. 1172 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 2: I wish Mario Cristopaul the best. I wish Marcus Freeman 1173 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,920 Speaker 2: the best, because I know some of you don't want 1174 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,640 Speaker 2: to hear it, but those three winning is a win 1175 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,600 Speaker 2: for us all in a way. In other ways, it's terrible. 1176 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,640 Speaker 2: In it's nightmare, and I do get it. Let's continue. 1177 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 2: You get some more games to predict, and it's a 1178 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 2: big week for me. You know, it's Iowa Iowa State Week. 1179 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 2: In the meantime, I got a couple of Romnudal Express 1180 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 2: best bets We're going to get to as well. In 1181 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 2: the meantime, we have friends of the program. I can't 1182 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 2: tell you in the four years that we've done this show, 1183 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,520 Speaker 2: how many people in this industry, people I grew up 1184 00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 2: watching in some cases, have reached out and have offered 1185 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 2: constructive feedback. They've offered support, and maybe one day we'll 1186 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 2: just have a show where we name all those names. 1187 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 2: I'm naming one right now. Joe Testitour has ridden with 1188 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 2: us from the beginning. Joe tess has been one of 1189 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 2: the biggest champions of this show is in my opinion, 1190 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 2: the best play by play guy in college football right now. 1191 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:21,400 Speaker 1: Now. 1192 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 2: I would have said that before we got to know him. 1193 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 2: I actually ran into him Saturday. There's a picture on 1194 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 2: the screen if you're watching on YouTube. But let me 1195 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 2: tell you something. I've had a couple of lengthy conversations 1196 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,720 Speaker 2: with that man. Joe runs his own production company. For 1197 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 2: those of you unaware, he's college football, but he does boxing, 1198 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:40,919 Speaker 2: he does entertainment. 1199 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 1: And you know what he did last. 1200 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 2: Night, He debuted as the new play by play man 1201 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 2: for Monday Night Raw. So Joe Tessitur I mean, think 1202 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,560 Speaker 2: about this lifestyle. Joe Testator is doing one of the 1203 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 2: biggest college football games in the country every Saturday. Then 1204 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 2: he's hopping on a jet and flying to whichever city 1205 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 2: WW is in, and he's doing Monday Night Raw college 1206 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 2: football and pro wrestling and being in some of our opinions. 1207 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 2: The best voice at both tables is unbelievable. So we 1208 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 2: got to clap it up for our guy, Joe Tests 1209 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 2: adding pro wrestling because we can call it that again, 1210 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,919 Speaker 2: I'm told adding pro wrestling duties to his portfolio, which 1211 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 2: is quite expansive and impressive, and he has been a 1212 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 2: huge help to us. He gives some of the I've 1213 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 2: changed things about our show because of feedback he's given. 1214 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,600 Speaker 2: I'll just tell you so if you needed any more 1215 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 2: reason to like Joe Tests, there you go. Big big 1216 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 2: fan of his work and he has been. 1217 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 1: A longtime supporter of us. So congrats to Joe Tests. 1218 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 1: Monday Night Raw. What a world we live in. Okay. 1219 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 2: Tennessee plays in c State this Saturday night. They playing 1220 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 2: Charlotte Boo on the neutral site. But Golf clap on 1221 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 2: the fact that we do get to see Tennessee against 1222 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 2: more than U TA Chattanooga. All due respect to the mocks, 1223 00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 2: n C State looked at solutely atrocious in Week one. 1224 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 2: They played like a CPR dummy. Basically, it was bad 1225 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 2: and they ended up late pulling away from Western Carolina, 1226 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 2: I mean late, and thirty eight to twenty one was 1227 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 2: the final. So what we thought about NC State was 1228 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 2: offense probably improved, big question mark. Defense not as good 1229 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 2: check We got that right. So the parts of the 1230 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 2: team that weren't going to be as good were right 1231 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 2: on the part of the teams that were supposed to 1232 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,680 Speaker 2: be better, we don't know yet. However, what we do 1233 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 2: know is about Tennessee, and that is well, at least 1234 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 2: I think I know. Niko I Amaliava is a bona 1235 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 2: fide Heisman contender right now. He's going to be in 1236 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 2: this thing all year. This is a superstar. You're seeing 1237 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 2: it unfold right before your eyes. It's likely that college 1238 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,640 Speaker 2: football has not fully caught on to it yet. They 1239 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,120 Speaker 2: know his name, they know he's at Tennessee, they know 1240 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 2: Josh Heipel scores a lot of points, but they're still 1241 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 2: thinking themselves, Oh, he'll have to grow into it, maybe 1242 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 2: like next year. Nah, this year, he is a Heisman 1243 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,920 Speaker 2: threat this year, Tennessee is a threat to compete for 1244 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:07,560 Speaker 2: the SEC championship because they may end up having not 1245 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,640 Speaker 2: right now, but when the tail is told, they may 1246 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 2: end up having the best quarterback in the conference. Carson 1247 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,439 Speaker 2: Beck is that right now? I would say Jackson darts 1248 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,439 Speaker 2: up there, mill Rose up there. It's a pretty deep 1249 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 2: year for quarterback. But that guy right there has a 1250 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 2: higher ceiling than all of them. And he's playing for 1251 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 2: Josh Hypel, so he's playing in the right offense. He 1252 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 2: ran against Iowa last year in the bowl game. He 1253 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 2: used his legs, but ultimately you saw what he did 1254 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 2: against UT Chattanooga. It's really tough. It's tough because it's Chattanooga. 1255 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 2: And I know a lot of you didn't watch that game. 1256 01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 2: If you did watch it, you saw some stuff that 1257 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 2: you only see from the quarterbacks that are going to 1258 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,560 Speaker 2: go on to be great. It's just a different look. 1259 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. Go look it 1260 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 2: up yourself. You will say, I don't care that this 1261 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:55,120 Speaker 2: is Chattanooga. That is a superstar, all right, So how 1262 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 2: does that impact this game this Saturday? Is this a 1263 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 2: situation where you just have a team ascending sky high 1264 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 2: like Tennessee. Is NC State really as poor as they 1265 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 2: looked weak one or do we have the classic Week 1266 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:11,560 Speaker 2: two special where a team body bags an inferior opponent 1267 01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 2: and is brought back down to earth by a team 1268 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 2: that underachieved and is rising, and it's regression and progression 1269 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 2: to the meme. I'm not so sure this is the 1270 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 2: defense to tame him. I'm not so sure NC State 1271 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 2: has that defense. They lost their top two SAT guys, 1272 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 2: their top two linebackers, most of the secondary's transfers. They 1273 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 2: got one really good one, but most of the other 1274 01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 2: ones haven't really played together a whole lot. However, Dave 1275 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 2: Dorn's one of the best head coaches in the country. 1276 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,840 Speaker 2: In fact, this is a matchup of two top twenty 1277 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 2: head coaches. I don't think Dorian's going to allow that 1278 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 2: kind of performance two weeks in a row. This is 1279 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 2: a deeper wide receiver room at NC State. It matches 1280 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 2: up very well with what we think is the weakness 1281 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 2: of this Tennessee team, which is their secondary. And I 1282 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,800 Speaker 2: got to tell you, like I did some media in 1283 01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 2: Raleigh about a month ago, these people have had this. 1284 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,560 Speaker 1: Game so like a Super Bowl. 1285 01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,920 Speaker 2: Tennessee has not Tennessee's looked at this thing and said, 1286 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:05,640 Speaker 2: oh tho, that it'll be a good neutral site game. 1287 01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:10,080 Speaker 2: Lit'll tune up a tough opponent, worthy opponent, and then 1288 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 2: we'll dive into conference play a couple of weeks later. 1289 01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 2: NC State has looked at this and said, that's a 1290 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,440 Speaker 2: super Bowl like, that's our shot. 1291 01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 1: Now, the ACC as a whole looks at. 1292 01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 2: It and says, there's one of the only shots we 1293 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 2: have left. 1294 01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:23,800 Speaker 1: Grayson McCalls the quarterback there now. 1295 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:28,280 Speaker 2: For those unfamiliar, long time at Coastal Carolina, really good experience. 1296 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 2: Kevin Concepcion is the wide receiver at NC State that 1297 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 2: gets a lot of attention. I think this is Jordan 1298 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 2: Walter's game, though that's the running back there. He is 1299 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 2: as important outside of the quarterback position as anybody on 1300 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,440 Speaker 2: this offense, because that will be an indication if he 1301 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,440 Speaker 2: has a big knight, that they've limited Tennessee possessions and 1302 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 2: that they've controlled the game, and that they have been 1303 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 2: able to play the game they want to. These are 1304 01:03:55,560 --> 01:04:00,080 Speaker 2: two top twenty head coaches. As I said, Tennessee, I 1305 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 2: have star offensive coordinator. It's hypel like that's who we're 1306 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 2: talking about. Versus NC State. We've got NC State as 1307 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 2: a four star grade at defensive coordinator, so it's a really. 1308 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,040 Speaker 1: Good play calling match up there. 1309 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,760 Speaker 2: It's excellent offensive support staff grade at Tennessee. It's an 1310 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 2: excellent defensive support staff grade at NC State. We just 1311 01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 2: questioned the personnel they have this year, So sneaky good 1312 01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 2: coaching matchup here. Colin, Let's take a look at what 1313 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 2: the model thinks. The fan duel number right now is 1314 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 2: Tennessee minus seven and a half. I thought the model 1315 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,360 Speaker 2: was gonna be a lot bigger on Tennessee. It's not 1316 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 2: Tennessee minus eight. But I think I think Tennessee's in 1317 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,200 Speaker 2: ascension mode and I think they're just better than this. 1318 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 2: I think the numbers should be higher. So that's a 1319 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 2: square opinion on this game. I will admit that to you. 1320 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,640 Speaker 2: But Merle Haggard once said sometimes squares can have a ball. 1321 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 2: So I think Tennessee's gonna win this game. I think 1322 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:53,760 Speaker 2: they're gonna win it by double digits. I think they're 1323 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,080 Speaker 2: gonna cover in the process. And that's a primetime game 1324 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 2: this Saturday night. I am not adding that one to 1325 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 2: the Rominddle Express, at least not right now out, but 1326 01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 2: I am adding two games to the Ramen Noodle Express, 1327 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 2: so proudly presented by FanDuel. 1328 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,880 Speaker 1: Here the Ramen Noodle Express. What is that? 1329 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 2: That's our best bets of the week. That's just what 1330 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 2: we call it. We call it the Romaen Noodle Express. 1331 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 2: FanDuel the exclusive odds provider of our show. They present 1332 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 2: the Ramenudle Express. They present Friday Night lines which can 1333 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 2: only be seen on Instagram live. 1334 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:21,960 Speaker 1: At Late Kick Josh. 1335 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,600 Speaker 2: By the way, so we hopped on two games already, 1336 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 2: and this is important to note. This is why you 1337 01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 2: got to tune into the Sunday Night Show. Because we 1338 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 2: have a good idea of what line movement's going to be. 1339 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 2: The model is really good at pegging that, so we 1340 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,320 Speaker 2: knew this Penn State number was gonna jump. So we 1341 01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,600 Speaker 2: took Penn State minus thirty one and a half against 1342 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,800 Speaker 2: Bowling Green that is now thirty four and a half 1343 01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 2: at FanDuel. So if you didn't bet it when we 1344 01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 2: put it out, you missed out. You gotta be tuned 1345 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 2: in to the Sunday Night Show. We put Kentucky out 1346 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,120 Speaker 2: minus nine and a half against South Carolina. Kentucky's now 1347 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 2: minus ten and a. 1348 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Half, So. 1349 01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,800 Speaker 2: Four points worth of swing there in our direction on 1350 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:05,080 Speaker 2: just those two games. Well, I have two more games 1351 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,280 Speaker 2: for you tonight, so let's see what these numbers do. 1352 01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,000 Speaker 2: Brigham Young, which is what I say, because, as the 1353 01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,360 Speaker 2: longtime viewers know, it sounds dumb when I say BYU 1354 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:17,920 Speaker 2: because I can't round my wy off because I'm from 1355 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,240 Speaker 2: rural Georgia. So Brigham Young plus ten and a half 1356 01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,880 Speaker 2: at SMU. That's a Friday night game, right, Jesse, Friday 1357 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,840 Speaker 2: night game. Yeah, so we're taking Brigham Young and we're 1358 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:31,320 Speaker 2: taking app State plus seventeen and a half. Now, this 1359 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 2: is supposed to be a spot against Clemson where Clemson 1360 01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 2: just played Georgia. 1361 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 1: So here's what it's supposed to be. 1362 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 2: A lot of folks are gonna bet Clemson in this 1363 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 2: game because it's one of those things where number one, 1364 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,240 Speaker 2: Clemson's mad, they're coming back home, they're licking their wounds. 1365 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 2: Plus Georgia makes a lot of folks look bad, and 1366 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,920 Speaker 2: it made them disproportionately look bad, and now they're only 1367 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 2: laying seventeen and a half. And this will be the 1368 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 2: one where a lot of folks jump on app State, 1369 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,520 Speaker 2: especially because they get the seventeen in a hook, but 1370 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,480 Speaker 2: Clemson ends up winning thirty to six. 1371 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:00,880 Speaker 1: Well, don't think that's gonna happen. 1372 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 2: So that's why we're gonna take app State plus seventeen 1373 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:04,800 Speaker 2: and a half, so bringing me on plus ten and 1374 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,680 Speaker 2: a half app State plus seventeen and a half. 1375 01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:07,840 Speaker 1: So we're on four games so far. 1376 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,840 Speaker 2: We will probably it looks like I'll add at least 1377 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:14,600 Speaker 2: four more before the week is over, and that includes 1378 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 2: that includes Friday Night Lines. It's not final until Friday 1379 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 2: Night Lines, which is Friday Night.

Believe it or not? It is the three 1412 01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,800 Speaker 2: point thirty CBS Game of the Week. So Brad will 1413 01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 2: be there, Gary will be there. A friend of the program, 1414 01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 2: Jennifer Dell, you know her is Jenny will be there. 1415 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,479 Speaker 2: This is the hardest position that I've been in all year, 1416 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:23,320 Speaker 2: immunity because the model, I'm just gonna spoil the ending 1417 01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 2: for you. It kind of sort of leans Iowa. Iowa 1418 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,080 Speaker 2: has won seven of the last eight in this game. 1419 01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,599 Speaker 2: The last six have all don't put that up, Colin, 1420 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,559 Speaker 2: I hate that it's accurate, the graphics accurate. 1421 01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,639 Speaker 1: I just don't like it. Whatever, keep it up. Iowa. 1422 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:40,960 Speaker 1: Its game has been closed. 1423 01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 2: So the last six have all been decided by ten 1424 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,080 Speaker 2: or less the under, which currently sits the total I 1425 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,200 Speaker 2: think at thirty five and a half. The under is 1426 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 2: seventeen and two in the last nineteen here. That's like 1427 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 2: Army Navy levels of underage. How much better is the 1428 01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,760 Speaker 2: Iowa offense with Tim Lester as the OC They won 1429 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 2: Warred even nothing against Illinois State last week. It was 1430 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 2: six to nothing at the half, so remains to be 1431 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 2: seen there. Now Iowa State is down a pretty important 1432 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:14,959 Speaker 2: piece here. Caleb Bacon, former walk on and now stalwart 1433 01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 2: at linebacker right in the middle of the defense. He's 1434 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,120 Speaker 2: probably gonna be out for several weeks. And North Dakota 1435 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,519 Speaker 2: rushed for one hundred and seventy four on Iowa State 1436 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,240 Speaker 2: last week. So if it's if it's that easy, if 1437 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 2: it's that academic, then there's not a lot of variability 1438 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 2: in the outcome here or variance in the outcome. Iowa 1439 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:31,639 Speaker 2: was going to win this game, and they can run 1440 01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 2: the ball more effectively than North Dakota, They're going to 1441 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:36,719 Speaker 2: win the game. Rock Obec has to win this game 1442 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 2: for Iowa State two years ago. 1443 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 1: I was at this game three years ago. 1444 01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,200 Speaker 2: I guess it was now, and Iowa State had the 1445 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,839 Speaker 2: best team they've had in a while on paper. 1446 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,120 Speaker 1: And what happened was there was a ton of hype around. 1447 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,559 Speaker 2: The game and all Iowa did was go in there 1448 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:54,720 Speaker 2: and just wait for the game to be handed to him. 1449 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:59,320 Speaker 2: And that's exactly what happened. Multiple turnovers, I wouldn't have 1450 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 2: to force anything thing. They knew how to play the moment, 1451 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,559 Speaker 2: and they just sat there and waited and Iowa State 1452 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:08,120 Speaker 2: sure enough handed them the game. So this year, I 1453 01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,160 Speaker 2: was got to me a more impressive tailback in Sama 1454 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,639 Speaker 2: They've got more impressive wide receiver skill including Jalen Nole. 1455 01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 2: They've got the better quarterback and rock o'beck. You're facing 1456 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,360 Speaker 2: one of the best in the world at forcing turnovers. 1457 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,960 Speaker 2: You're facing with Phil Parker in this Iowa defense, one 1458 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 2: of the best, if not the best, in the game 1459 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:27,439 Speaker 2: at knowing defense has to win the game for him 1460 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 2: and understanding how to sit there and be completely content 1461 01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 2: waiting for you to hand the game to him. The 1462 01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 2: key dynamic in this thing is you've got to understand 1463 01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,960 Speaker 2: that and you've got to be able to actually instead 1464 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,679 Speaker 2: of handing them the game, go take it. Don't play 1465 01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 2: in a shell, be aggressive, play your game. Just be 1466 01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 2: on point, high precision in the passing game, not turning 1467 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,320 Speaker 2: the ball over, converting on third and short, and that's 1468 01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,840 Speaker 2: what the game comes down to. The biggest mismatch on 1469 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,640 Speaker 2: paper here is Phil Parker against Taylor Malser is a 1470 01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,240 Speaker 2: first year offensive coordinator there. They promoted him from win then. 1471 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,000 Speaker 2: I was up there in the spring, sat in his 1472 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:08,760 Speaker 2: office for two hours. Great convo. Appreciates the opportunity. This 1473 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,400 Speaker 2: is a huge opportunity for him. They may win Saturday, 1474 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,200 Speaker 2: but you cannot deny I mean, Parker is a five 1475 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 2: star defensive coordinator. 1476 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,360 Speaker 1: And we don't have many of those. I don't think 1477 01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:19,080 Speaker 1: we have another one. 1478 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 2: And your first year calling plays here as the offensive coordinator. 1479 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,559 Speaker 2: It's a huge mismatch. So you know what you got 1480 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:26,879 Speaker 2: to do. You got to make a name for yourself 1481 01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:28,760 Speaker 2: and you gotta go win the game. Anyway, let's take 1482 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 2: a look at what the model thinks. Colin I alluded 1483 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,240 Speaker 2: to this a little while ago. The fan dual number 1484 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,479 Speaker 2: here is Iowa minus two and a half, which means 1485 01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 2: Iowa is favored by home field advantage, maybe even a 1486 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 2: half point less than home field advantage. Translation, odds makers 1487 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 2: are telling you these are evenly matched teams. The JP 1488 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:56,400 Speaker 2: pole has about four spots difference in these teams. The 1489 01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,720 Speaker 2: model has Iowa minus four and a half, so we 1490 01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,960 Speaker 2: think there's a little bit bigger gap between these teams 1491 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,760 Speaker 2: than Vegas does. However, I am not a trader. I 1492 01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,040 Speaker 2: have bias here. I have a favorite that I'm playing. 1493 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 2: I think quarterback and decision making will win the game, 1494 01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:16,439 Speaker 2: and it'll win it for Iowa State. If it doesn't, 1495 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 2: I bear no responsibility because the model ended up picking 1496 01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:21,880 Speaker 2: the right winner. However, if Iowa State does win this 1497 01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,439 Speaker 2: in the interest of me taking all the credit but 1498 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 2: shouldering none of the blame. It will be a very 1499 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:32,360 Speaker 2: celebratory Saturday night and Sunday night on this show. If 1500 01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:35,520 Speaker 2: you don't do anything else for me and you're agnostic 1501 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:39,400 Speaker 2: on this game, just go buy a red and yellow 1502 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 2: EyeBlack sticker. 1503 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:45,400 Speaker 1: And just pullside.
