1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: We haven't even started the show, and Buck Rising is

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: already screwed it up. He's having this sort of day

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: that South Carolina had on the football field started hut,

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: you blinked, and then it all of a sudden ended.

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: The gift that keeps on giving is the chaos of Saturdays.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: We're here for every single second of He's Buck Rising up.

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: Jason Vitt, it's fucking Fits.

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 3: What do you want?

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Buck? He looks like you.

11
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: Can tell sometimes because we're FaceTime at each other. He

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: is ready to just get it out there. Buck's on

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: one already today.

14
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: What do you want, sir?

15
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 4: I hate all of you, like all all three of you.

16
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 5: I hate I hate Mary, I hate Shay, I hate Fits,

17
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 5: I hate I got no problems with Chris. Chris is

18
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 5: not on my on my list just yet. We got

19
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 5: two hours to figure it out.

20
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 4: I don't want to. I don't want to.

21
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 5: I don't don't start this with me today, Okay. I

22
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 5: will not tolerate. Oh my God, will not tolerate your nonsense. Fine,

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 5: turn me down. That's your job. That's not my job.

24
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 5: That's job.

25
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 4: Figure it out.

26
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: Oh God, he is this is what for the next

27
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: two hours, and we're gonna have here before the damn

28
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: show even starts.

29
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 5: Mary's talking to me. He's showing everybody on FaceTime to me.

30
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 5: I'm distracted. I can't hear what's going on. All of

31
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 5: a sudden, Oh, your MIC's hot. I don't know whose

32
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 5: fault is that?

33
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: Not mine?

34
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm like an open guy.

35
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: The guy that's the guy that sits in front of

36
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: a microphone just blamed somebody else for speaking into a microphone.

37
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: This is the sort of day we're gonna have u.

Speaker 2: top of your screen. It was a wild day. I'm

49
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: not gonna lie. I was sitting here ready, I was

50
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: doing my swaggy Vince McMahon walk walking around everywhere safe.

51
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: The chaos of college football is the gift that keeps

52
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: on giving.

53
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: At halftime of South.

54
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: Carolina up on A and M at the time thirty

55
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: to three, and you thought.

56
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: Okay, this is it.

57
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: We've been spending weeks talking about the College Football Committee

58
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: not giving A and M enough love, and guess what

59
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: college football is going to take care of itself? And

60
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, the third quarter happened. Over

61
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty yards of offense in the third

62
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: quarter alone, three touchdowns in the third quarter alone, and

63
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: before you know it, A thirty one thirty A and

64
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: M win. So the question now is buck Last week,

65
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: when Indiana struggled, we turned around and said, no, you

66
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 2: learn something about a team when the struggle. You learned

67
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: about their moxie. Did we learn about moxie from A

68
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: and M? Should we value A and M more because

69
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: they sucked so badly for a half of football and

70
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: then dug themselves out so easily in a half of football?

71
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that they showed what they're capable of

72
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 5: against an inferior opponent. Again, you I understand your logic.

73
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 5: Last week when I'm yelling and screaming at you about

74
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 5: the way that you were dismissing Auburn and the way

75
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: that they came out swinging against a ranked Vanderbilt team

76
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 5: on the road, like I understood it, even if I

77
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 5: disagreed with it. A and M was just objectively bad

78
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 5: to start the day and ended up with the biggest

79
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: comeback in school history, which is exactly what you expect

80
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 5: them to do, so just because it took a little longer,

81
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 5: and you would love a four quarter performance for style points.

82
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: If you're trying to edge your way.

83
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 5: Up a little bit in the college football playoff rankings

84
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 5: where the top five were unchanged this past Tuesday, you

85
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: would like for A and M to go out there

86
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: and handle businesses against the South Carolina team that we

87
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 5: were talking about should be in the playoff before the

88
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 5: season started. Absolutely had expectations to be in the college

89
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: football playoff this year and have been just frankly dreadful

90
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: on both sides of the ball. And the Leonoris Sellers hype,

91
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: the preseason hype, much like Arch Manning and Garrett Nussmeyer

92
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: and all these other quarterbacks that we spent entirely too

93
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 5: much time trying to figure out who was going to

94
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 5: be the number one overall draft pick before we played

95
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: out in an entire college football season, because turns out

96
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: that's not a smart thing to do. What Marcel Reid

97
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 5: did today in this fourth quarter, in the second half

98
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: of football was awesome. And while it is something that

99
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: you would say, you would cite the consistency or lack

100
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 5: thereof if you're going to ding them for it, I

101
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 5: just I can't help but think that in the toughest

102
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 5: conference in college football fitsy that it should it not

103
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: no pun intended, I swear to god, it literally means

104
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 5: more when you do this.

105
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: Against SEC caliber competition.

106
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: Look, I think you're Lenor's Seller's point is a strong

107
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: one because if we're being honest for a second, like

108
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: in the first half, I was sitting there saying, there

109
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: is there's the Lenoris Sellers that everybody thought we get

110
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: all season long. Right the first half, I was sitting

111
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: there saying, Yep, this is exactly what he was using

112
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: his legs. I mean, it's just looked good, right, And

113
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 2: then in the third quarter, in the majority of the

114
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: fourth I was like, there he is the Lenooris Sellers

115
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: we've seen all year.

116
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Long like this.

117
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: This this becomes really interesting even to NFL fans because

118
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: you just made an important point that I, you know,

119
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 2: we haven't really talked about yet. It's never too early

120
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: to look at the draft standings. And when you look

121
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: at things like tankthon. It's funny because we weren't that

122
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: far far removed from saying, oh wait, last year, here

123
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: was a narrative. You know it in Tennessee. The narrative is,

124
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: you don't want a quarterback this year, you want a

125
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: quarterback next year.

126
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: Right, That's what everybody kept saying.

127
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: Now, all of a sudden, I got people telling me no, no, no, no, no,

128
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: we don't want a quarterback this year. We want a

129
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: quarterback next year because there are so many quarterback needy teams.

130
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: And I'm watching this game thinking about the very thing

131
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: you just mentioned.

132
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: We were wrong.

133
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: We as a collective society, we're wrong about many of

134
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: these quarterbacks. I don't know even which ones are going

135
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: to come out now. I don't even know which ones

136
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: are even remotely franchised saviors.

137
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: And I'm looking around thinking.

138
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: If your logic over the course of the last eight

139
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: nine months was don't worry if we suck this year.

140
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: We'll get to quarterback next year. This is why you

141
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: should never bank on that.

142
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 4: I'm so sick of Tankathon.

143
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: I've been I've been looking at Tankthon in November for

144
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 5: four years. It's god forsaken franchise that I spend my

145
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 5: time covering.

146
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: Twenty is a fan, I mean, it's a Tankethon like

147
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: I look at that. I look at Tankethon more than

148
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: I look at NFL standings at the beginning of October

149
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: as the Raiders thay come on.

150
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: This is a tradition.

151
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 5: It's so sad I'm looking at on my screen only

152
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 5: because Mary is not on my FaceTime screen right now.

153
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: A Browns fan, a Raiders fan, and I cover the

154
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 5: Tennessee Titans for a living like it's it's just a collection,

155
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 5: Hi Mary, lovely to see you too, a collection of clowns.

156
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: Clowns who attach themselves to.

157
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 5: These football franchises, hoping that there is going to be

158
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 5: something different each and every year when we go through this.

159
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: And yet, but that's a conversation for another day. We

160
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 5: don't want to bore the people who actually have You.

161
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: Can't wait till Indiana football and basketball both just go

162
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: down in flames so that I can then, like, when

163
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: when Indiana's season ends, I'm gonna wear a full clown

164
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: Regulia just for you, all right, I'm gonna remind you

165
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: how much it hurts when your team's good and the

166
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: season still doesn't. Like, I'm gonna stand up for all

167
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: of us on this show that have terrible teams, and

168
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: we will fight back as Indiana just withers into nothingness,

169
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: which is now what we're all rooting for as a show.

170
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: Jokes on you. I'm a Notre Dame fan.

171
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Oh that makes it a shape.

172
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: Fan.

173
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, nobody, nobody in the state of Indiana, in ls.

174
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: A state of Indiana. Shay.

175
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 5: You got to understand this. Indiana football has never mattered

176
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 5: a day in my life.

177
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: I would die for that basketball team, Okay.

178
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 5: The fact that they are beating up on Milwaukee, Wisconsin

179
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: and scoring one hundred points gives me more life than

180
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: that Penn State game did for Indiana football. And that's no,

181
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 5: that's no knock on what Signetti and the Indiana football

182
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 5: program you're doing. I'm very happy for my alma mater.

183
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: That's awesome. I'm a Notre Dame fan. It's my entire life.

184
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 5: I'm a Notre Dame fan. The entire state of Indiana

185
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 5: is Notre Dame football, Indiana basketball. And that's the thing.

186
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 5: Now if Indiana can, you know, move some of those

187
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 5: people back over, that's lovely, but.

188
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: It's just it's not a thing for me.

189
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: What happens if Indiana plays Notre Dame in the college

190
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: football playoff this.

191
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: Year again, I'll root for Notre Dame. I rooted for

192
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 4: him last year.

193
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: You don't go like every other year, like like one

194
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: year you give one or do you ever look at

195
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: it and me like, look, last year Notre Dame had

196
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: a much better chance inter national championship. This year Indiana

197
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: has a much better chance at a national championship.

198
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 6: So like you can't be a little bit, Yeah, you

199
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 6: can't be a fan of two teams in playoffs?

200
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, not to Dame.

201
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Like yeah, he's he's I do, actually I feel that

202
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: to my cores.

203
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: I sit here looking at Larry Johnson Jersey like I

204
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: grew up at UNLV basketball fan. I don't care about

205
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: you and LV football. I have the helmet behind me

206
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: because the team gave it to me. Like I'm not

207
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: sitting here like there's never been a time where I'm

208
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: actually losing sleep over the results of UNLV football. It's

209
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: kind of fun when it happens, but I feel you.

210
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm Buck.

211
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to troll you, That's all I'm trying

212
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: to do.

213
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: But realistically, you can patrol.

214
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: Just sit down, all right, let me show your hat's

215
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: done one time.

216
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 2: You kind of you know, yeah, get a little bit

217
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: take guess on your skin so we can actually I mean, actually,

218
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: if he's.

219
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 5: The trolls, there's going to be to be I don't

220
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: know if he's a troll.

221
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: He's got the little gray hair on the top of

222
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: the bottom, like he's the gray haired troll that the

223
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: old troll. Like, what's the what's the nickname for the

224
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: grumpy old troll? Somebody, somebody text us unk is a

225
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: good nickname for a grumpy Buck's a good name for

226
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: a grumpy old troll? That is like arm bok arm

227
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: the grumpy troll? Go ahead, anything else you want to say, Boddy.

228
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like you for you to sit on

229
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 5: the sit on the end of that microphone that you're

230
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 5: talking into right now and take a spin, all right,

231
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: one time, go ahead and sit on it.

232
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: So did anything today. So as we get through A

233
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: and M, we'll get back to take it on it

234
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: And I got there because there are no there are

235
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: no saviors at quarterback. But I think part of the

236
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: reason that this year's college football season it is so

237
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: hard to figure out is because there are no saviors.

238
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: At quarterback like we're used to.

239
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: Just like by now, I'm not sure we have a

240
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: great indication. We'll get into it in a few minutes.

241
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: Maybe the Heisman Trophy. I'm not sure right now. Usually

242
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: we sit here and we say, here's the guy that's

243
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 2: just going to lift his team to victory week in

244
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: and week out. I don't know that we have that

245
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: part of the parity process that we've gotten throughout the

246
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: course of college football this season. Buck it leads leads

247
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: me to more thought of, like, hey, maybe the fact

248
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: that we didn't get the rise of Arch, which is

249
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 2: made Texas look vulnerable every time they step on the field.

250
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 2: The fact that we could see here one week and

251
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: feel like Vandy looks like a world beater, but then

252
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: they lose, Like I've got Georgia Tech right now losing

253
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: to Boston College in the fourth quarter. I'm not sure.

254
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: Ty Simpson seems like he's really good. In Alabama seems

255
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: like they're really good, but they're in a tight game.

256
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: Like there doesn't seem to be the same this year.

257
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: Group of guys that are like, hey, no matter what,

258
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: I am going to win football games. And that maybe

259
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: is part of the reason it feels so unpredictable.

260
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm down for the unpredictability. Right now,

261
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 5: We're watching Alabama leading by one against Oklahoma right now

262
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 5: in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, Alabama possessing

263
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 5: the ball at this point in time. And if you

264
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 5: told me that Oklahoma was going to push Alabama, given

265
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 5: the matchup, given the defensive front that Oklahoma has, and

266
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 5: that just proclivity that Alabama has to live in these

267
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 5: third and six plus situations, and ty Simpson has handled

268
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 5: it way way better than average. But if you told

269
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 5: me that Oklahoma were to knock off Alabama today, would

270
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 5: I be shocked?

271
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 7: No?

272
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 5: Would I be slightly surprised. Yeah, It's just that kind

273
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 5: of season in college football. So for A and M

274
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 5: for Indiana, who handled business, you know, and kind of

275
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 5: kind of took their time playing with their food against

276
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 5: Wisconsin today, I did.

277
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 4: Is Ohios did Ohio State play today?

278
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 5: I didn't see the o host Ohio States off today.

279
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: I didn't see an Ohio State schooling. They did not

280
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: play today.

281
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 4: I'm say, oh they played later tonight.

282
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 5: Okay, So we'll see what happens in Ohio State's game,

283
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 5: and if and if again we just continue because for

284
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 5: all the unpredictability fits what I said earlier that the

285
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 5: top five unchanged right, like the top of the college

286
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 5: football playoff standings right now is not really shifting. We're

287
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 5: waiting for something of consequence, one of these major type

288
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 5: of upsets. I don't know that we're going to get

289
00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 5: it the rest of the way through, but the fact

290
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: that we get at least the threat of it in

291
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 5: game makes us think that it's a little more unpredictable

292
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 5: than it actually is.

293
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: My apologies to Ohio State.

294
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: They play UCLA tonight at seven thirty pm. Check out

295
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: I get on NBC. Yeah, well, I mean that's all

Speaker 2: we're gonna get you caught up on all of it.

297
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned the Heisman earlier.

298
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: Buck's got one person we're not paying enough attention to

299
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: that should be the Heisman front runner.

300
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: Will tell you about it next.

Speaker 2: troll a couple of quick updates. We'll get you some

328
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: more scoring updates in just a few minutes, obviously, but

329
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: we do have a score. Oklahoma is now ahead of

330
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: Alabama twenty three to twenty one. We'll see where that goes.

331
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: And even more importantly for many of you, Georgia Tech

332
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 2: no good on a two point conversion that could have

333
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: tied against Boston College. We are late in that game

334
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. It's not twenty eight twenty six.

335
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: Keep you updated on what that means. Heismand trophy around

336
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: the corner. And I was just saying, part of the reason, Buck,

337
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 2: I feel like this year has been so wild, is it?

338
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 2: There isn't one player that's out here dominating the sport

339
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: in such a landscape, dude, like, oh, clearly the best

340
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: quarterback gun the number one team. Maybe it is Julian

341
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: Sane and maybe I'm making everything more complicated. I don't know,

342
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: but to you, there's a Heisman person out there that

343
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: you think we are not paying attention enough to good sir,

344
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: who is that?

345
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 5: How in the hell is a Notre Dame football player

346
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: underrated for the Heisman Trophy. You cannot sit there and

347
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 5: tell me in a year where there has been as

348
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 5: much indecision around Heisman Trophy voting as I can remember,

349
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 5: or at.

350
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: Least clear and obvious favorite.

351
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 5: Because the argument against saying is that they just cruise,

352
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: that they don't play anybody, that they're this year's Indiana

353
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 5: and listen, they're the defending national champions at Ohio State.

354
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 5: He's the quarterback of the best football team, the number

355
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 5: one football team in the country. I'm not denigrating him

356
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 5: at all. And we'll see what they look like against

357
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 5: real competition once we get into the college football Playoff.

358
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: The first couple of rounds.

359
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: Assume well, assuming that they have a bye, we'll see

360
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 5: what they look like in the second round of the

361
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 5: College Football Playoff.

362
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: But Jeremiah loves the best football player in the country.

363
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 5: I don't understand, and he's not leading college football.

364
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 4: And rushing right now. He's just shy of a thousand yards.

365
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 5: He's got nine hundred and eighty eight the leading rusher

366
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 5: in college football right now is Cam Cook. Jeremi Love

367
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 5: would come in at fifth if you're just looking at

368
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 5: total yards right now, and he's not averaging the most

369
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 5: yards per carry in the sport, but of people on

370
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 5: teams who are getting the kind of volume that he is,

371
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 5: six point four yards per carry is as impressive as

372
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 5: any bona fide starter in football. This year, he has

373
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 5: thirteen touchdowns, which would tie him for third of all

374
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 5: the running backs that have won the Heisman Trophy going back.

375
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 5: You know, let's just keep it in the two thousands, right.

376
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 5: So it's Reggie Bush, it's mark Ingram, it's Derrick Henry.

377
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: We are with So with the playoff ahead of us,

378
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: and assuming that Notre Dame can continue its winning ways

379
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 5: and play themselves into the playoff or continue to control

380
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 5: their own destiny that way, he is on track at

381
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 5: basically what is the midpoint with a month left rather

382
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 5: of the college football season, he is very much on

383
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 5: track to be in the same category as all three

384
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 5: of those.

385
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 4: Players, maybe not Derrick Henry in terms of attempts.

386
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 5: So I think that Jeremiah Love is being wrongfully left

387
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 5: out of the conversation. I think if you're talking about

388
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 5: the best player in college football this year, it's indisputably him.

389
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 5: He is an unstoppable force no matter how you look

390
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 5: at it. And of all the flaws that we talk

391
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 5: about with these quarterbacks that are favored, and Mendoza is

392
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 5: an awesome story, an awesome story, and if I'm not mistaken,

393
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 5: he's still the leading candidate to win the Heisman Trophy,

394
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 5: or rather saying as the leading candidate to win the

395
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 5: Heisman Trophy right now with Mendoza. Second, I don't know

396
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 5: how you could poke holes in a resume for Jeremiah Love.

397
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: Given the competition that Notre Dame has faced, what he

398
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 5: has done against that top level competition, and the track

399
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 5: that he is currently on, he needs to be in

400
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 5: the top three at minimum.

401
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I'll admit my bias.

402
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: Had the chance to interview him a few weeks ago

403
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: for Yoah Who Sports Day, and he's just an impressive dude,

404
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: Like you spend ten minutes with him, Like yeah, NFL

405
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: teams are going to fall in love with Jeremiah Love,

406
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: like even more, not just from the tape, but just

407
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 2: from talking to the human being.

408
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: This is part of why I just wish that.

409
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: The Heisman wasn't given out until we got to the

410
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: college football playoff, because to your point, I think we

411
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: are going to get to a college football playoff this

412
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: year that finally forces answers when we have such discrepancies

413
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: in scheduling for so many different players. Part of the

414
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: way we have to tell the story of who was

415
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: who and where greatness slide over the course of this season.

416
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: I think part of what we're going to have to

417
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: have is the context of best the best, who melted

418
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: it down in a big game Notre Dame, and CJ.

419
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: Carr is already just blowing up. I mean, I think

420
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: Brady's strong comments about CJ. Carr looking so incredible has

421
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: everybody falling in love with CJ. Car the quarterback of

422
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. There is no development of CJ. Car if

423
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: not for the fact that Notre Dame runs the football

424
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: so incredibly efficiently and so incredibly well. And I always

425
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: go back to something, you know, Harry Douglas, our longtime

426
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: friends who you can check out on ESPN. Harry Douglas

427
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: was the one that taught me and I just say

428
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: this all the time. Day one of an installation for

429
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: your week of practice is spent focused on game wreckers,

430
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: like who is the one person you absolutely have to stop.

431
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: When you want to slow down the other team.

432
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: That factors into my conversation a lot when I think

433
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: about Heisman, because if I'm looking at it and I'm saying, Okay,

434
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: how do you beat Ohio State? Well, Julian Saying has

435
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: been very, very good this year. I don't think if

436
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: you shut down Julian Julian Saying has a bad game,

437
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean Ohio State suddenly just out of it,

438
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: that they're suddenly going to lose.

439
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

440
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza, like I look against the opponents he's played,

441
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. Ninety percent completion percentage is impressive. I

442
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: don't care who you're playing against it. He's done it

443
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. So to me, the

444
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: numbers are impressive. But I would love to see what

445
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: that looks like against in Ohio State. Jeremi I Love

446
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: is the game record, Like when you want to have

447
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: a very simple conversation about who's the one person that

448
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: if you take them away, Notre Dame cannot win a

449
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: football game. I believe that's Jeremiah Love so it's a

450
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: really strong point by you that I hadn't thought of.

451
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: I think part of it is just because at all levels,

452
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: like right now already, people are going to say, oh,

453
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: I can't draft him that high. Look at Ashton, you

454
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 2: didn't do that much. I can't draft a running back

455
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: like we want to have these conversations trickle down from

456
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: the NFL to college football, and I just want to

457
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: remind everybody that the devaluing of the running back position

458
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: doesn't take away from the conversation of who the best

459
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: player in the country is this year.

460
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's something that's like a mindset that I

461
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 5: had to shift for myself the last couple of years

462
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 5: because I'm an NFL reporter by trade, Like I think

463
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: in terms of the NFL, and when I talk about

464
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 5: college football, or when historically I've talked about college football,

465
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: it's been more not what these players are as collegiate players,

466
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 5: but how do they translate to the next level?

467
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: What kind of prospect are they?

468
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 5: Because that's where the vast majority of my focus has

469
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 5: been until the last couple of years. And obviously I've

470
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 5: lived in Tennessee now for ten so you spend this

471
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: much time in SEC country, and you start to come

472
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 5: around to the idea that oh, no, college football is

473
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 5: an appreciably better product across the board than actually.

474
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 4: Is the NFL.

475
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: And it's way more fun to watch on Saturdays, that

476
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: is on Sundays, even if Sundays end up getting the

477
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 5: bigger number. And as college football players know, these guys,

478
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 5: they're not just prospects to be fed into the next level,

479
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 5: like who are they as college players? He is the

480
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 5: best college football player in the country. To me, I

481
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 5: don't know how that's arguable. So that's something that maybe

482
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 5: I don't think that the high And there's so many

483
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: more Heisman Trophy voters than there should be, right, And

484
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 5: I'm saying that as somebody who doesn't have a Heisman

485
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 5: Trophy vote, nor would I deserve a Heisman Trophy vote.

486
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 5: I don't even though I spend my entire life around football,

487
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 5: my day to day is completely consumed by football, that

488
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 5: doesn't mean that I'm qualified to vote on the Heisman Trophy.

489
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 5: And I think there's a good many people who probably,

490
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 5: if not for the ability to say, oh, Heisman Trophy voter,

491
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 5: should not be actually voting on the Heisman. I am,

492
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 5: And to your point, what is it December the thirteenth.

493
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 5: December the fourteenth is when the Heisman Trophy ceremony is

494
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 5: this year. It's so so early to make that kind

495
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 5: of a decision. It's like awarding MVP in the NFL

496
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 5: before the playoffs begin.

497
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 4: It makes no damn sense. So for me, I want to.

498
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: Say, Buck.

499
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: The one pushback on that that I've had from people

500
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: is we don't want the valuations. This is what I've

501
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 2: been told by Heisman voters. It's December thirteenth. You're correct.

502
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: What I've been told by Heisman voters is we don't

503
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: want teams that don't make it to the playoff to

504
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: have great players disqualified from the conversation because they don't

505
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: have the extra body of work. That's what I've been told.

506
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: I don't know how much weight we put into that.

507
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: I'm just giving you the counter argument I've been given.

508
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I guess that's reasonable, because you know,

509
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 5: not every great player in college football in the country

510
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 5: is going to have the opportunity to play in the playoffs.

511
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 5: And maybe there will be bold appearances, but a lot

512
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 5: of those dudes won't play, and the Bowls and stuff

513
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 5: like that. For a reason, right, you don't want to

514
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 5: get hurt.

515
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: What happens if you're the best player.

516
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: It looks like through most of the season, but then

517
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 2: Fernanda Mendozo goes out a playoff run and it's like,

518
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 2: oh my god, he did this in his extra three

519
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: games that you didn't get and now all of a sudden.

520
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: But at the same time, my count My pushback to

521
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: that pushback is that, to me, the Heisman is about

522
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: the absolute best player in the sport that year, and

523
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: you can't give me that conversation until the book is

524
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: closed on the year.

525
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you earn the right to play additional football games,

526
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 5: then that should work to your favor, not to your detriment.

527
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 5: So we'll see what happens. The Heisman Trophy will probably

528
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 5: go to one of these quarterbacks. That'll probably go to

529
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 5: the Ohio State quarterback, Julian saying, we'll see. But I

530
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 5: just think that in a way, there is never a

531
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 5: world where you could talk about a Notre Dame football

532
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 5: player given the nature of that brand and the I

533
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 5: guess they don't necessarily have a logo on their helmet,

534
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 5: but who that institution is. Historically, their players have always

535
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 5: been overrated. Never underrated. Now you have one that's actually underrated,

536
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 5: and he's not getting near enough love in.

537
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 4: Terms of the best college football players in the country.

538
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: One thing that was overrated over the last few days

539
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: is massive news in college football that could absolutely impact

540
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs on Tuesday.

541
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: We'll tell you about it coming up.

542
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: But first, Chris perfect gonna get us all sorts of updated.

543
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: A lot of scores. What's going on?

544
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 5: Man?

545
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, let's start in Los Angeles where we are

546
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 9: recording rainy soaked Los Angeles in the coliseum where everyone

547
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 9: in the coliseum is drunk in shirtless in the rain.

548
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: So USC welcome to the Big ten.

549
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 9: I'm sure I guess twenty six twenty one USC over

550
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 9: Iowa right now. Mark Gronowski, quarterback for Iowa, had had

551
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 9: the Hawkeyes in Trojan territory, but a very close, just

552
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 9: out of bound fourth down Eve sees them turning it

553
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 9: over on downs. Iowa should probably get another possession out

554
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 9: of this. They have two timeouts left, one fifty five

555
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 9: to go, so we'll keep an e on with that one. Meanwhile,

556
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 9: also going on, Oklahoma has seized the lead with about

557
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 9: nine minutes to go. Twenty three twenty one Oklahoma with

558
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 9: the ball back and in Alabama territory trying to take

559
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 9: down number four Alabama. Meanwhile number six Texas Tech just

560
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 9: steam rolling u SEEF right now forty eight nine with

561
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 9: six minutes to go. Anyone, remember when UCF was like,

562
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 9: you know, we're the big bad guys, We're gonna be

563
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 9: the you know, really powerful in the future. There right

564
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 9: now one in five in the Big twelve and looking

565
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 9: down the barrel of one in six in about six

566
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 9: minutes here remaining that game. Meanwhile, you guys were mentioning

567
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 9: Georgia Tech Boston College, Georgia Tech on the road. They

568
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 9: have seat number sixteen, they have seized the lead, Boston

569
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 9: College with the ball, but they are now down thirty

570
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 9: three twenty eight with about six minutes to go in

571
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 9: that game. Boston College trying to get back to it.

572
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 9: But let's get to some scores from earlier in the

573
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 9: day where a historic victory for the a remain undefeated

574
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 9: on the season. Number three an M mounting the largest

575
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 9: comeback in school history, overcoming a twenty seven point deficit,

576
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 9: defeats South Carolina thirty one thirty. Let's also talk about

577
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 9: Buck's Notre Dame fighting Irish number nine. By the way,

578
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 9: ABC finally coming back on the air from my fighting

579
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 9: Irish loving mother, just in time for this game.

580
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: After this massive YouTube TV outage.

581
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 9: Thirty seven fifteen over Pittsburgh and Michigan survived a scare

582
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 9: in Northwestern late field goal to lift them over them

583
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 9: twenty four to twenty two. NFL injuries A couple just

584
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 9: to sign you off here. Bronco's running back JK. Dobbins

585
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 9: is reportedly done for the season, reports indicating he'll be

586
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 9: headed for the injured reserve with a foot injury. Meanwhile,

587
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 9: the Detroit Lions have placed tight end Sam Laporta on

588
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 9: ir he's dealing with a back injury. He will not

589
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 9: be able to return until week fifteen. Jason and Buck

590
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 9: back to you. Thanks, Chris, appreciate that wild day.

591
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 2: And as we speak right now, oh my god, there

592
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: we go. We got a touchdown, touchdown run for Boston College.

593
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: We'll see if there's any flags, but Boston College lets

594
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: the lead slip away and then all they do is

595
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: drive right down the field. Turbo, Richard Turbo, I'm sorry, Turbo,

596
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's Richard or Richard. Sorry, Turbo,

597
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: I should know that I don't forty three yard touchdown run.

598
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: So there we go. We got chaos happening, and that chaos,

599
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: Buck will play into the college football Playoff. I don't

600
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: know how many people cared or paid attention to something

601
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: that is important, but we had college football playoff controversy

602
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 2: of sorts, or at least controversy that impacts because the

603
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: College Football Playoff Committee chair has stepped down amidst controversy.

604
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: He's the ad for Baylor University and so he has

605
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 2: stepped down and he has been replaced in this process.

606
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 2: What is interesting is he's been replaced by Hunter Yururchek,

607
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: who's the Arkansas Athletic Director as the chair.

608
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: That's the new chair.

609
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: But what's also interesting is they had to bring in

610
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: another committee member to replace him as a voting member. Now, Buck,

611
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: this is where I will give me two seconds of

612
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: Boggie down with board details. I've gone through the mock

613
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: committee process, right, and so for anyone that doesn't know,

614
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: the way it goes is there's thirteen people in a room,

615
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: and what we did for our mock committee. They take

616
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: an old year and you go into the room and

617
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: you argue about this old year, and you go through

618
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 2: the whole process to learn how it works. So teams

619
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: are voted on in groups of three. So they decide

620
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: who team number one, two, and three is. Then in

621
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: the next grouping section they'll decide number four, five and

622
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: six for example. Right, then they go all the way

623
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: back and they redebate three v. Four and if a

624
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: change happens, they redebate one, two, three, four, five six.

625
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: It's their way of making sure that that three, four, six, seven,

626
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: that era is always sort of locked in. That's important

627
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: to me because we don't really have for our context

628
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: how close some of these votes are. And now what

629
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: we have is a new committee member coming in.

630
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: For anyone that.

631
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: Just saw the al MVP award that was given out,

632
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: you know where Aaron Judge beats out the dumper for

633
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 2: it that was decided truly by two votes. Right, So

634
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 2: in my mind, a new committee member coming in, he

635
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: might value analytics more. He might not value the eye

636
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: tests the same way this very eye test committee value.

637
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 2: He may not value the big ten the way the

638
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: same the committee to before. Like one person changing could

639
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: just walk in and be like, hey, have y' all

640
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: thought about and all of a sudden everybody's reapproaching votes

641
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: like the presumption is, wow.

642
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: It's just business as usual. I don't know.

643
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: When there's only thirteen people on a committee, the main

644
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: chairman is changing. That changes a little bit of the

645
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: tone of the meetings. And a new member comes in

646
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 2: that changes to me an entire possibility of the way

647
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: things are being voted on. I think this could have

648
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: a massive impact on the college football playoff.

649
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: Sure, And the problem with discussing it before we see

650
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 5: Tuesday Select the next selection show, right, is we don't

651
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 5: know we're dealing with an unknown variable, or in this

652
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 5: case variables. Mark Harlan, the Utah Athletic Director, is also

653
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 5: somebody who was added. As you mentioned, he is the

654
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 5: additional committee member that was put in in the absence

655
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 5: of Mac Rhoades. Here Hunter Yurchik as the selection committee chair,

656
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 5: and then Mark Harlan is the voting member.

657
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 4: To fill Rhodes's role. So we don't hear from.

658
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: Every committee member, and so in theory, what it's almost

659
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 5: like getting pre mad about something without understanding fully what

660
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 5: you're upset about. As somebody who gets pre mad pretty regularly,

661
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 5: as Mary will tell you, I think that this is

662
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 5: something that it is going to be easy for people

663
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 5: to spin out about, even though it's really kind.

664
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: Of the same situation that you were facing.

665
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 5: Anyway, it is without precedent that they would change committee

666
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: members during the season this way. But in reality, you

667
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: have no idea how Committee member X was voting prior

668
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 5: to this, and you have no idea what they valued

669
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 5: prior to this. But now you open the door to

670
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 5: the idea in your own head that, oh, something is

671
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 5: going to be different, somebody is going to vote differently,

672
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: somebody is going to change their mind or view this thing,

673
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 5: as you said, through a different context than they otherwise were.

674
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 5: This is probably going to hurt my team personally. This

675
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 5: shouldn't be allowed. This committee should be defunded, bring back

676
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 5: the BCS and you spin out and out and out right.

677
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: I think that So you're right, that is what so

678
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: many college football fans are going to do. I'm not

679
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: spinning out. I'm stepping back from all of it and

680
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: saying we got to be aware. And awareness is why

681
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: taking away the possibility of reinterpretation is important. Look at

682
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: how smart I sounded when I said that I was

683
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: on your show, and thank you, I was on your

684
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: show this week And one thing I said to you

685
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: in Nashville about the committee with Vandy is that when

686
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: you are Vanderbilt, you cannot allow human beings to decide

687
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: your fate because I think there's just an inherent, subconscious

688
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 2: brand bias in certain situations. Right, They're just even if

689
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: it's subconscious, even if it's unintentional, somebody's going to hear

690
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: Vandy and be like, I don't know about that, you

691
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: know what I mean?

692
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: Like, I think that's natural for some people.

693
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: I want to believe that the committee just rises above

694
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: all of that. But I have flat out asked prior

695
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: committee chairs. I have asked the head of the college

696
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: football playoff process at times, do they have iPads that

697
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: track how much film everybody's watching. I've asked these questions

698
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: and never gotten real answers on it. So to me,

699
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: where I get where I think the learning curve here

700
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: is like, if you are A and M, you won today,

701
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: and that's great, that's amazing, that's plucking, that's awesome, that's important.

702
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 2: It's not going to change your car. You're not going

703
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: to suddenly miss the college football playoff probably even if

704
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: you lost that game, but you do have to accept it.

705
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: Now you've become you've allowed a subjective conversation to happen

706
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: because you didn't clearly take care of business. If you're

707
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech and Georgia Tech right now with the football

708
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: down by one in this game, Georgia Tech is trying

709
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: to fight their way into the college football Playoff conversation,

710
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: you can't leave things to subjective and what we like

711
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: to do the first couple of times we hear from

712
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: the committee is take that as this is the voice

713
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: of this college football Committee. What we have to acknowledge

714
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: now is that one person out of thirteen changing could

715
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: change some of that tone. So I just think it

716
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: loses some of the wiggle room for some teams to

717
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: feel comfortable with.

718
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Just the outcome is the outcome.

719
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 5: Nothing sparks controversy like the college Football Playoff.

720
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 4: It should be.

721
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 5: I mean, it gives me a reason to watch on Tuesday,

722
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 5: because I don't know how many people around the country

723
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 5: actually watch this show, you.

724
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying. Like, I wake up in a

725
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: morning on Wednesday.

726
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 5: Check the rankings, and I go about it like the

727
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 5: initial one and then the few leading up to the

728
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 5: actual seeding of these teams before the actual playoff takes place.

729
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 5: That's what I play attention to. But for the most part,

730
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 5: at least I think for me, I don't know for

731
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 5: the vast majority of America, this has not been appointment television.

732
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 5: This makes it infinitely more interesting come Tuesday night.

733
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: No, one hundred percent.

734
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: Like Pat Forty and I had a disagreement earlier this

735
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: week when Pat Forty, who covers college football for Sports

736
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 2: Illustrating the USA Today, and he came back and said, Hey, like,

737
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: this is just a propaganda TV show nobody cares about. Well,

738
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: my argument is, if if the committee didn't exist every Tuesday,

739
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: casual people that aren't paying as much attention aren't going

740
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: to talk about college football on Tuesday and Wednesday every week.

741
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: The biggest thing ESPN did was.

742
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: Figured out, how do we drive conversation around this sport

743
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: on days other than Saturday. We do it by having

744
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: a human committee decide on where these teams ranks. Like

745
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: if we just went to auto bids in college football,

746
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: I think it makes so much more sense, and it

747
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: would be so much easier to track, and it would

748
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: actually kill some of the casual conversation that thrives around

749
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: this time of year because right now, what we'll have

750
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: is Tuesday people anticipating a committee, Wednesday, people telling everybody

751
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: that the Committee are idiots, and content comes from all

752
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 2: of it. So you're right, like, I think, you know,

753
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: there's a fine line on all of it. I think

754
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 2: the committee at some point is just serving their real mission,

755
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: which is just to kind of grow college football. We'll

756
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: get you updated. A couple of upsets could be brewing,

757
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: Will they actually happen and what will it mean for

758
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 2: the college football playoff?

759
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: Will do that?

760
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: Coming up next? These Buck Rising on Jason Fitz. We're

761
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: hanging out on Fox Sports Radio. You're listening to Fox

762
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Radio. Philosophical issue with DJ Kaled. If you

763
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: have to tell people that you're the best music, you're

764
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: just not the best music. That's just a fat Like

765
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: if you have to be like we the best music. No, no,

766
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: that's not true. That that's not like if you have

767
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 2: to announce it, you know, you never you never heard

768
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: Prince playing a guitar solo saying, listen to me play

769
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 2: the guitar.

770
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm really great at this. Like, if you're.

771
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: Great, your work stands in the stands alone, stands.

772
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 1: Up for itself.

773
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 6: Think of as affirmation.

774
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Jason Derulo.

775
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: Every time Jason Rulo does the song he has to

776
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: sing Jason Derulo like, if I don't know that it's

777
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 2: you without you telling me that.

778
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: It's you, I'm out. I'm out. You shouldn't have to

779
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: tell me.

780
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 5: No, these are these are weird quirks that only that

781
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 5: only you would consider hold ups. I mean actually that

782
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 5: on principle, I think that if you're somebody who pounds

783
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 5: their chest and says, no, I'm the best at everything,

784
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 5: and I do the greatest things ever and all these

785
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 5: different things, then you're probably dealing with some level of

786
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 5: insecurity where you're trying to manifest these things or convince

787
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 5: yourself that you're actually something that you're not. But in

788
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 5: the case of DJ Kalet, I feel like DJ Kellett

789
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 5: to operate in a singular space there well.

790
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: And this is where somebody will inevitably tweet me and

791
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 2: remind me that I am nowhere near as successful as

792
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: DJ Kllen, And you're right about that, Like, hey, he's

793
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: got walls and walls and walls and walls of golden

794
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: Platinum records.

795
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it.

796
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 5: He says, hests in front of a wall.

797
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 2: I've got one wall, but not one black. I've got

798
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: one wall. Let's get it clear here, I've got one

799
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: one wall. DJ Klled's got like four mansions full of them.

800
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 4: I get it.

801
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: I get it far more so, you know.

802
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 4: But yeah, also a Grammy.

803
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: Look, okay, when you play on the record, the record, No,

804
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: when you play on the record but your name, like,

805
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: but it doesn't come to you like the bamb Carry

806
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 2: did not win my Grammy.

807
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: Michael W. Smith won my Grammy.

808
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: And so you get a certificate for that. So I

809
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 2: have a certificate behind me that is a Grammy certificate

810
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: that's framed, but that the Grammy associates.

811
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: Not a Grammy. It's a certificate.

812
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: Funny thing is that the uh the discount where it's Grammy,

813
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: the Grammy that the vam Perry won, the Grammy that

814
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 2: the band.

815
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: This is very true story, the Grammy that the vamp

816
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: Perry won.

817
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: I did not play on that song, so I would

818
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: not have gotten I didn't get a Grammy for it.

819
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: I wasn't on that song, and they beat out another

820
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: artist whose song I did play on. I was actually

821
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: going against my own band in the Grammys. And they

822
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: beat me, and so my own band turned around and

823
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: and they got the Grammy and I got nothing.

824
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: So you don't have a Grammy party have a Grammy vote.

825
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 2: I have a Grammy vote, and I have a Grammy certificate.

826
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's it's I've got a Heisman Trophy vote.

827
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 2: Okay, No, I have a Bulletanic Call Award vote for

828
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: the best wide receiver in college football. I don't have

829
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: a Heisman vote. I'm the only person in the country

830
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: with the Grammy vote and a bolittantic cough vote. So

831
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: that's perfect. I got a certificate, not the trophy. I

832
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: don't have the Heisman. I have the Bulletic cough.

833
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: This is this is what happens.

834
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 2: I got. You know, like I'm sitting here over over

835
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: here on the side. I'm just over here on the side,

836
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: you know, I'm I'm hustling. He's blackwise up, Jason Fitz.

837
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

838
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 2: Find Georgia Tech is down by one to Boston College.

839
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: We are in the waning seconds of this game, and

840
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech is in field goal range. This game doesn't

841
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 2: matter to a lot of you, but it should only

842
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: if you're worried about whether or not Georgia Tech is

843
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: actually going to have a shot at the College Football Playoff.

844
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: Remember when you see your mox right now and they

845
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 2: show you that Miami would be in the College Football Playoff,

846
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: that is actually not going to be accurate because there

847
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: are so few scenarios that would send Miami to the

848
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: ACC Championship game. So if you see Miami, understand that

849
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: that's just a placeholder. Miami is the highest ranked ACC team,

850
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: so they get put in there as a placeholder. But

851
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: right now, Miami would not be Like, once the season finishes,

852
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 2: it's going to be far more likely that it's a

853
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 2: team like Georgia Tech than it would ever be Miami.

854
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: Depending this field goal that they're going to have to make,

855
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: they are deep. This is going to be a chip

856
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: shot field goal with about twenty seconds to go.

857
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 5: Buck Yeah, I mean, how detrimental was that NC State

858
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 5: loss for Georgia Tech.

859
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 4: That's tough.

860
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 5: That would have been I mean, and listen you, oh

861
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 5: my god, speaking of things that are tough, Alabama is

862
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 5: floundering under two minutes at this point in time, trying

863
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 5: to get across midfield against an Oklahoma pass rush that

864
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 5: has just had Ty Simpson in an absolute blender. But

865
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 5: I mean, this is this is what you're saying about

866
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 5: the chaos kind of weeding these teams out, while Georgia

867
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 5: Tech can be a good story and can be a fun,

868
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 5: interesting thing for a good part of the season. If

869
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 5: you can't go to Boston College, who is oho to

870
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 5: six in the a CEC, this would be their first

871
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 5: conference win for Boston College, the Fighting Bill O'Brien Butchins today, it.

872
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 4: Would be their first conference win.

873
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: Wait, that's not a fine. The Fighting Butchins is not

874
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: a fine.

875
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 4: Why would that be a fine.

876
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 2: It's just factually it seems like that's I mean, that's

877
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: kind of mean. It's kind of see, it's kind of mean.

878
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 5: I don't get fined for me. No, I don't get

879
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 5: fined for mean. No, I dispute your fine. I Shay

880
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 5: is the independent arbiter here.

881
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what these friends are.

882
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 6: I'm new.

883
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: See you doesn't even know what the fines are? Wait wait, wait, wait,

884
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: fine Shae, Fine Shae for that, Because like, at the

885
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: very least, when you're sitting in on a show, you

886
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: should understand the core tenants of the show. You should

887
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: understand that we've got a fine system here and then

888
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: Mary is.

889
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: In charge of all of it. So like like weed.

890
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 6: Ian for not telling me about the fines. Why you

891
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 6: get fined?

892
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 1: Showed up? I showed up to the press conference. Dean

893
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: isn't here. I showed up. This is you know what?

894
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: This is? What? What's really here?

895
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm just asking if you went into a press conference

896
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: because you were sitting in to help out Buck and

897
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: the Titans and you didn't know who the head coach was,

898
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 2: would that be on you or would that beyond Buck?

899
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: I think.

900
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 5: In his defense, I don't know who the head coach

901
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 5: of the Titans is on a day to day basis

902
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 5: at those points.

903
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech just scored a field goal. They are up

904
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: by two with eleven seconds left. We'll figure out what

905
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: happens with Alabama next. He's Buck rising up, Jason fitz

906
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: bucking fits on Fox Sports Radio.

907
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: Oh, how the mighty have fallen?

908
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: Because it's a Saturday, and why not give us even

909
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: more chaos? Alabama, number four ranked in the country, just

910
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: took their second loss of the year at the hands

911
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: of Oklahoma, and now suddenly Alabama to the College Football

912
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: Playoff looks a hell of a lot harder than it

913
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: did twenty four hours ago. It's fucking fits on Fox

914
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz. It's been

915
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 2: a wild day. It's always a wild day. But if

916
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 2: you're Alabama right now, you are looking around thinking how

917
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: did we get here? I understand two loss SEC team

918
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 2: buck still gonna make the college football Playoff. I understand

919
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: that everybody's going to try and figure out a way

920
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 2: to feel pretty good about this. But man, if you're

921
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 2: a Bama fan, what did I say earlier? You can't

922
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: leave anything up to a human committee to make decisions,

923
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: And now you just left things to a human committee

924
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: to make decisions. As we sit right now, Alabama takes

925
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 2: their second loss of their season of the season, their

926
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 2: first laws from the in conference at this point. Texas

927
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: A and M survived earlier today. So all of this

928
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: is gonna come down to my question to use, do

929
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: you really want to be in the SEC Championship Game? Like,

930
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 2: if we're being honest, do you really want to take

931
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: If you're Obama, do you want to roll this thing back?

932
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 2: You want to get a couple more wins, You want

933
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 2: to get your way right into the SEC Championship Game?

934
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 2: No problem, everything's hunky dory, or would you rather just

935
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: sit there with two losses on the outside looking in

936
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: to a team, another team that comes into it and

937
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: hope that you know, let all Miss take that on,

938
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 2: Let Georgia take that on. Let somebody not named Alabama

939
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: have to take that on, because man, this the three

940
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 2: losses and you are definitely out. So if you're Alabama,

941
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 2: you got to figure it out, figured it out quick.

942
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean, it's gonna be interesting to see

943
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 5: how this plays out because the remaining schedule is Eastern

944
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 5: Illinois at home for Alabama, and then Auburn at Auburn

945
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 5: and the Iron Bowl, which no matter where those two

946
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 5: programs are, whether Alabama's a coach by Nick Saban and

947
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 5: dominant or Auburn is you know, as an interim coach

948
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 5: and is trying to figure things out in real time,

949
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 5: it's going to be a competitive game. So there's no

950
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 5: telling what will happen in the final week of the

951
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 5: regular season. Now you have a situation where Georgia at

952
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 5: is eight and one, you have Ole Miss at nine

953
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 5: and one, and Texas and Georgia will play here in

954
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 5: just a few minutes or I guess in about what

955
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 5: an hour or so before things get underway there to

956
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 5: see how that will play out.

957
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: And what.

958
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 5: I don't think it's necessarily an elimination game. It is

959
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 5: for Texas certainly, but for Georgia, like Alabama is still

960
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 5: in the College Football Playoff even though they lost tonight.

961
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 2: Yes as of right now, yeah yeah, it might so

962
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 2: where as much trickier as if Alabama finds themselves in

963
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 2: the SEC Championship game and they take a loss to

964
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 2: Texas A and M, which would be their third of

965
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: the year. What happens when you're sitting there with the

966
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: three loss SEC team that lost in the SEC Championship game,

967
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: which is an extra game that you shouldn't really have

968
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: to deal with in the first place. But at the

969
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 2: same time, it's a loss, Like I just I don't

970
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 2: know how to process that.

971
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 5: No, I mean, this is Lane Kiffin's whole point from

972
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 5: last season, where he got on the podium and debated

973
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 5: publicly the merits of playing in the SEC Championship Game

974
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 5: for exactly this purpose. Now, for Lane it didn't matter,

975
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 5: and he was an easy target after the fact because

976
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 5: they blew it against Kentucky and twenty twenty four Old

977
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 5: missed it, and they weren't playing in the college football

978
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 5: Playoff at all, much less the SEC Championship Game or

979
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 5: even being even being given it consideration for it. So

980
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 5: this is something that is as we work our way

981
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 5: through the next few iterations of college football playoff before

982
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 5: expansion inevitably comes to our doorsteps, there are going to

983
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 5: be programs who are actively saying I don't think it's

984
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 5: in our best interest to compete in the conference championship game,

985
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 5: which frankly is just bad.

986
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 4: For the sport.

987
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, it is bad for the sport. It's

988
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 2: a weird look. But also championship conference championship games need

989
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,959
Speaker 2: to go away. Like I know, that's just a big

990
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 2: like slapping the face to.

991
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: College football piers.

992
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: I'll credit Pete fu Tech, who does a really good

993
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: job of covering a lot of college football, who points

994
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: out in Twitter four minutes ago Twitter X, this Alabama

995
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: loss of course matters, but it sort of doesn't as

996
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 2: long as Georgia beats Texas tonight, If the Tide beat Auburn,

997
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 2: and if Texas loses, it's Bama versus Texas A and

998
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: M for the SEC Championship game, which then takes us

999
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 2: right back into this situation of like what do you do?

1000
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 4: Then?

1001
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 2: What do you do if you pick up a third

1002
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 2: loss in a conference championship game?

1003
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: And then part of the variable that we have.

1004
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: To accept to this is like, also what are the

1005
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 2: other conference championship games look like? Because I'll go back

1006
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 2: to the dreaded ACC. I want to keep on bringing

1007
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 2: up the ACC, which I think we can all admit

1008
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: right now isn't necessarily very good. Right, So what happens

1009
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 2: depending as of right now, we would get Georgia Tech

1010
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 2: versus Virginia in the SEC championship game, that's fine, But

1011
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: what if a team like Pittsburgh finds a way to

1012
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: sneak their way into the ACC championship game and wins it?

1013
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 2: So then a three loss Pittsburgh team is and what

1014
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: are we doing with a two loss Georgia Tech or

1015
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 2: Virginia in that situation? Like big thieves are real now

1016
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 2: in this modern climate because the top conference champions the

1017
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 2: top rated conference championships going to get into this thing.

1018
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: So it just gets hairy buck Like, all of this

1019
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 2: just gets a little bit confusing. Alabama wins tonight, they

1020
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 2: got absolutely nothing they need to worry about, even if

1021
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: they lose in the SEC Championship game, they're still going

1022
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 2: to be in. Alabama lost today though, and that loss

1023
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 2: has to have some level of consequence. They'll dip in

1024
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 2: the rankings and things at the very least will get

1025
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: a little bit more precarious for them. And now we

1026
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 2: have to factor in Oklahoma. And we're being honest because

1027
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 2: Oklahoma last week in the College Football Playoff rankings, I

1028
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: believe they were number eleven, so they were going to

1029
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: get bid thieved out of it. You have to be

1030
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: in the top ten because of the way it laid out,

1031
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 2: they were going to be bid thieved out.

1032
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: Well, Oklahoma's going.

1033
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: To skyrock it up now, right, and if head to

1034
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 2: head matters to this committee, Oklahoma has to be ahead

1035
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: of Alabama. So what like, is Oklahoma now a lock

1036
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 2: for the College Football Playoff with a five seed and

1037
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 2: Alabama's swinging for their lives as a six.

1038
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1039
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 2: At the very least, it gets complicated.

1040
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 5: Let's talk about the coaches for a second, because Brent

1041
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 5: Vennables was somebody who was going to in a hot

1042
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 5: seat situation if they didn't start to show some signs

1043
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 5: of life and then they go to Tennessee and they

1044
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 5: win at night, and they maybe it's not a pretty

1045
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 5: winner anything like that, but they beat a team that's

1046
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 5: got the best in terms of total yardage, the best

1047
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 5: offense in college football, or one of the best offenses

1048
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 5: in college FOOTBA.

1049
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure they're up there at the top. If

1050
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 4: they are not the top.

1051
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 5: At this point in time, then they go to Tuscaloosa

1052
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 5: and win this game. Brent Venables has put himself in

1053
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 5: a situation where they are continuing to find ways to

1054
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 5: win these games, gutty gritty, whatever you want to call it.

1055
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 5: And for Debor, I mean, I don't know if you follow,

1056
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 5: If any of you follow out there in the social

1057
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 5: media world, hopefully you're not on Twitter at all and

1058
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 5: it would be better for your mind and your sanity

1059
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 5: on a regular basis. But there's an account on Twitter

1060
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 5: called message board Geniuses that show all of the posts

1061
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 5: that are coming down from various college football and largely

1062
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 5: SEC fan bases on their various message boards. The Alabama

1063
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 5: message boards are insane right now. I don't know if

1064
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 5: Kaylin de Bor is not going to get fired at Alabama,

1065
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 5: and we understand that he's put them in a much

1066
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 5: better position throughout the course of the year than that

1067
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 5: lost to Florida State early in the season.

1068
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 4: Show. But if you want to talk about a fan

1069
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 4: base that is living.

1070
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 5: And dying with every snap, not just every game, Alabama

1071
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 5: has to be in an absolute blender tonight, which is

1072
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 5: the life time.

1073
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 4: By the way, I hate to.

1074
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 2: Say that's it's wild though, Like because I've got the

1075
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 2: rankings up from the College Football Payoff Committee last week,

1076
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: Oklahoma was number twelve. I apologize, So Oklahoma will skyrocket

1077
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: up in this process, right, we know that Alabama was

1078
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 2: number four. Well, if Georgia wins tonight, george is gonna

1079
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 2: move up, you know, just you start looking at it

1080
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 2: and saying, well, who's going to lose to create room?

1081
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: You know.

1082
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: Weirdly, a team that you and.

1083
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,959
Speaker 2: I have talked about a lot because of our ties

1084
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: to Nashville, the win by Oklahoma today actually has true

1085
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 2: real consequence to Vandy. Vandy needed some of these teams

1086
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 2: to fall out, like that's not likely to happen at

1087
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 2: this point. Like I think two weeks ago, if you'd

1088
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 2: asked me Vandy wins out of the end of the college

1089
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 2: football playoff, the answer to me was squarely. Yeah, because

1090
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: you think college football is going to take care of itself.

1091
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 2: There'll be enough losses ahead of everybody else. But now

1092
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, because I'm not sure Alabama will fall

1093
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 2: far enough to really put themselves out of the playoff system.

1094
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: And now we're going to have to account for Oklahoma

1095
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 2: and Alabama likely both making the College football Playoff.

1096
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: That's that's going to make it even tougher.

1097
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just doing the math, and it's tough

1098
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: if we presume Texas, A and m wins the SEC

1099
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: for one second, do we believe that Georgia all miss Alabama, Oklahoma,

1100
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 2: and Vandy you're all going to make the college football Playoff?

1101
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 2: In addition to I don't that's the math. The math

1102
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 2: ain't math.

1103
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 5: And buck No especially, I mean what three SEC teams

1104
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 5: made the college football Playoff last year and the SEC

1105
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 5: felt like it was sliding and Greg Sanki, the commission

1106
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 5: of the league, went on the war path and said,

1107
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 5: you know, you're doing all these things trying to renegotiate

1108
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 5: and reposition things to benefit his conference, as is his job.

1109
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 5: By the way, nobody would fault him for that. But

1110
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 5: if you are, if you're Vanderbilt. Now you are in

1111
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 5: a worse position on a buy than you were the

1112
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 5: week than a week ago when you beat Auburn and

1113
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 5: overtime at home and outlasted a resurgent Auburn offense in

1114
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 5: that moment, because you have the two losses that Vanderbildt

1115
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 5: has are to who they're to Alabama, who just lost

1116
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 5: but is not going to fall completely out of the

1117
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 5: college Football playoff by any stretch of the imagination, even

1118
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 5: if they will take a tumble down the rankings, and

1119
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 5: to Texas, who is above you right now, who's playing Georgia.

1120
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 5: But still this is the double edged sword if you're

1121
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 5: Vandy trying to make this college football playoff, because you

1122
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 5: don't need your loss to Texas to look worse, but

1123
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 5: also you're in a situation where you would like Texas

1124
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 5: to lose to give you a fighting chance to climb

1125
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 5: back into this thing with a win at Tennessee at

1126
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 5: the end of the regular season, because that is they're

1127
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 5: what well they have Kentucky after they come off the

1128
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 5: buy next week, and then they will go to Tennessee

1129
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 5: and try and win a Kneeland, which I think they're

1130
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 5: fully capable of doing. Right now based on the way

1131
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 5: that those two teams match up. But this this really

1132
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 5: more than anybody. The loser of Alabama Oklahoma is Vanderbilt.

1133
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: It's just so compacted right now. And this is just

1134
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: I said earlier, I'm an agent of chaos. We know

1135
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 2: that I'm an agent in the chaos, and as an age

1136
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 2: of the chaos. What I love about the early portion

1137
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: of the college football season is it delivers everything, just

1138
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: turns the hell in the hand basket over and over

1139
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 2: and over and over and over again. At the end

1140
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 2: of the season, so often the chaos just gets to

1141
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: the point that you know, it feels like the cream rises,

1142
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: And this year it's more difficult to figure out what

1143
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 2: that cream looks like if the cream is going to rise.

1144
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: Like Texas Tech made a statement with the big win

1145
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 2: over UCF, fine Notre Dame makes a statement.

1146
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: With the big win over Pittsburgh.

1147
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: These things make life a lot easier for everybody to

1148
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 2: try and figure out who belongs and who doesn't belong.

1149
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: But like USC ekes out a win over Iowa and

1150
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: Iowa team that frankly the Committee respects at number twenty one,

1151
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 2: and USC still has number eight, Oregan left ahead of them,

1152
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 2: So like there are weird pass for teams to get

1153
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 2: into this thing that we're not even talking about, which

1154
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 2: is why it gets more complicated for a team like

1155
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 2: Alabama to take their second loss and why particularly SEC

1156
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: fans are gonna just hate this. I just, man, I

1157
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 2: don't think you should put the risk at this point.

1158
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 2: If I ran the SEC the last thing in the

1159
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 2: world that I want as an SEC championship game, let

1160
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: me crown my regular season champion and then let all

1161
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 2: of the committee members just sit there and not have

1162
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 2: an excuse to leave a team out. I don't need

1163
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: someone to steal my way in Buck.

1164
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's I mean, while that would make sense,

1165
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 5: it's never gonna happen because that's that's attendance. That's a

1166
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 5: game that Mercedes Benz Stadium gets to host. It's a

1167
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 5: television product that the SE or rather the ESPN is

1168
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 5: that played on ABC or ESPN.

1169
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 4: I can't remember.

1170
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: It's the same. It's the same in a way.

1171
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 5: It's on network television, and somebody is going to want

1172
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 5: to put that game on because regardless of who's playing

1173
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 5: in the SEC Championship game, or at least more often

1174
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 5: than not, regardless of who's playing in the SEC championship game,

1175
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 5: that's going to do a big number, right, It's going

1176
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 5: to feature two premier programs in the world of college football,

1177
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 5: even if the consequences of the game matter a little

1178
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 5: bit less than they used to. It's never the conference

1179
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 5: championships are never going to go away for the sole

1180
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 5: purpose of financial reasons.

1181
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, and there's still so much chaos to

1182
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 2: happen because realistically, Texas could beat Georgia tonight, and then

1183
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 2: Texas could beat Texas A and M, and then all

1184
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 2: of a sudden, we're finding more room for more of

1185
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 2: these teams.

Speaker 2: we've got a massive NFL slate Tomorrow they can finally

Speaker 2: We'll break it down next. He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason

1213
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 2: be tuning in tomorrow morning trying to figure out because, like, look, honestly,

1214
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: I'm not the one that usually comes in and says,

1215
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 2: oh my god, what a great slate of games. Most weekends,

1216
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot of junk games out there that just

1217
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 2: aren't worth watching. But I'll tell you this weekend, buck

1218
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: massive slate of Sunday games. Like I keep making this

1219
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 2: joke at Yahoo, but it's like this week's game of

1220
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 2: the week of the century. Because every year, every week

1221
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 2: I feel like we're out of here with like.

1222
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: This is the biggest game whatever.

1223
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: There are huge games like Seahawks Rams is a massive

1224
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 2: game this year that has incredible ramifications to the playoffs,

1225
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 2: but also just will tell us something that we need

1226
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 2: to know about the rams of the Seahawks and who's

1227
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 2: great like Lions Eagles is going to give us some

1228
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,919
Speaker 2: indication about who we can actually trust. Who do you,

1229
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 2: Buck Rising think is the best team in the NFC?

1230
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: Simple question? Complicated answer.

1231
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 5: Is it is a It is a complicated answer because

1232
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 5: I'm so split between Seattle and Los Angeles right now,

1233
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 5: because both of them are excellent on offense. One has

1234
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 5: Matt Stafford is playing the best football of his career

1235
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 5: at thirty seven years old, which is insane, insane to

1236
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 5: think about, and to their credit, they're keeping them up right.

1237
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 5: If you can get pressure on Matt Stafford, we understand

1238
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 5: that that's the one way, the one kind of kryptonite

1239
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 5: football kryptonite that he seems to have right now, but

1240
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 5: he's not really being bothered. Twenty five touchdowns to two

1241
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 5: winners options Matt.

1242
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 4: Stafford so far this year.

1243
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 5: But then I look at Seattle, by the way, the

1244
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 5: Rams defense excellent, pass rush excellent. At this point in time,

1245
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 5: they're trading for pieces like just just because I cover

1246
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 5: the Titans here on a regular basis, they're trading for

1247
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 5: a former second round pick and Roger McCreary off the

1248
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,439
Speaker 5: Titans roster and then putting them on special teams because

1249
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 5: they don't need him. He's just depth for them in

1250
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 5: their secondary at this point in time. Seattle, though, doesn't

1251
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 5: even need their offense to do that much. And I'm

1252
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 5: not saying DeMarcus Lawren's gonna go out there and score

1253
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 5: two defensive touchdowns at every game or anything like that,

1254
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 5: but Sam Darnold can have just a fine day, and

1255
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 5: Seattle's defense is so overwhelming.

1256
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 4: In particular Seattle on the road. I don't know what it.

1257
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 5: Is with Mike McDonald and his record at home versus

1258
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 5: on the road, and it's steadily improving obviously this year.

1259
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 4: What they're able to do in Seattle which is still

1260
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 4: one of.

1261
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 5: The toughest places to play in football. No matter what,

1262
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 5: if I had to pick between the two, I would

1263
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,479
Speaker 5: pick the team that has a formula that I feel

1264
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 5: will travel better, and for me, that is Seattle. Seattle's

1265
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,760
Speaker 5: defense is overwhelming at every level. They're the NFC version

1266
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 5: of the Texans. The Texans are awesome and have an

1267
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 5: offense that just I mean until David Smills went into

1268
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 5: the lineup last weekend and frankly was well protected against

1269
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 5: the Jaguars, couldn't do anything. They had twenty six points

1270
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 5: in the fourth or against twenty points because they had

1271
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 5: a thick six at the end of the game, but

1272
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 5: twenty points in a fourth quarter essentially.

1273
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 4: To put them over the top.

1274
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 5: Seattle's formula though, their run game, their defense, their quarterback,

1275
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 5: to Sam Darnold's credit, all praise in the world to

1276
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold for being cast off in Minnesota, winning fifteen

1277
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 5: games for them last year listen and understandably collapsing at

1278
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,760
Speaker 5: the end of the regular season, and in that playoff

1279
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 5: game against the Rams.

1280
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 4: They made him look like a toddler out there.

1281
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 5: It was not It was really not competitive on behalf

1282
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 5: of Minnesota, So Minnesota says whatever.

1283
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 4: We'll let you go. We'll let you go get paid.

1284
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 5: You've earned the ability to get a big contract, but

1285
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 5: it won't be here and we'll gut this thing out

1286
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 5: with JJ McCarthy. That hasn't worked out for Minnesota. It

1287
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 5: has been awesome to see what Sam Donald has done

1288
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 5: in Seattle, and I think in a world if Jonathan

1289
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 5: Taylor didn't exist him, he very much does. Even though

1290
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 5: the culture on a bye this week, Jackson Smith and

1291
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 5: Jigma would be the offensive player of the year.

1292
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: I mean, Jackson Smith and Jigma is quickly making a

1293
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 2: case to belong in the same conversation as you know,

1294
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: Jamar Chason justin Jefferson right like he's one of the

1295
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 2: top three wide receivers in the NFL at this point.

1296
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 2: Pooku Naku also going to be on display. I love

1297
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 2: what you said about Sam Donald because so often Vikings

1298
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 2: fans come back and say, well, we saw him melt out.

1299
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 2: I will just remind everybody gently, I am not comparing

1300
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 2: Sam Donald to Patrick Mahomes.

1301
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm not that stupid.

1302
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 2: I will remind everybody though, Patrick Mahomes got to a

1303
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowl against the Buccaneers where he was absolutely being

1304
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: run around ragged, and he didn't play very well, right, Like,

1305
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 2: it was a bad game for Patrick Mahomes. Patri Mahomes

1306
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 2: in a Super Bowl against Eagles didn't particularly play very

1307
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 2: well because.

1308
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: He was being run around ragged.

1309
00:57:55,880 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 2: Like most quarterbacks don't really handle absolutely getting murder every

1310
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 2: time they drop back and still excel at the sport.

1311
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, even if you want to put it all

1312
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 2: on Sam Nargald find Vikings fans, if you want to

1313
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 2: do that, he had two bad games at this point

1314
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 2: full body of work. I'll take two bad games over

1315
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 2: at two years sample size, Like, that's not bad. Seattle's

1316
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 2: defense that you mentioned, I think we had to go

1317
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 2: back to the Ravens. Remembering that Mike McDonald, not the

1318
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 2: Doobie brother, but the head coach of the Seahawks was

1319
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, and Ravens players

1320
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 2: said in his last year as the defensive coordinator, and

1321
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: they asked why everything popped. One of the things that

1322
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 2: some of the Ravens stars said is it takes a

1323
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 2: minute to figure this defense out. There's a lot of thinking,

1324
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 2: you have to do a lot of different things. Takes

1325
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 2: a minute to learn the scheme, and then all of

1326
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 2: a sudden they became incredible. What are we see now

1327
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 2: year two for Seattle? Like it takes a minute to

1328
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 2: learn the scheme, it takes a minute to become who

1329
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 2: they are. So now you have a defense that I

1330
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 2: think is a matchup nightmare for everybody, with the quarterback

1331
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 2: that's playing hot, with an offensive line that's doing well

1332
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 2: enough with Jackson Smith and Jigba who's turned out to

1333
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 2: be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL,

1334
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 2: wish a head at who's a huge element to what

1335
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 2: they can do on the offensive side, and two running

1336
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 2: backs that share the duties in a way that drives

1337
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,919
Speaker 2: fantasy football players crazy but also at the same time

1338
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 2: gives tremendous production.

1339
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: Like I love the Seahawks. I mean, I'm just I'm

1340
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: all in at this point.

1341
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 2: At the same time, I could make most of those

1342
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 2: same arguments about the Rams, and the Rams have something

1343
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,479
Speaker 2: Seattle doesn't have with proof of concept, with the head coach,

1344
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 2: Like we've seen Sean mcvagh win a Super Bowl. We

1345
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 2: know how good Sean McVay is, you know, So, Like

1346
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 2: I struggle with this because I feel like Seattle's the

1347
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 2: best team in the NFC. But if you really came

1348
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: in and wanted a convincing argument for the Rams, I

1349
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 2: think I can make almost the exact same argument. These

1350
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 2: two teams are kind of the Spider Man me.

1351
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 4: Well.

1352
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 5: And it's funny because Philadelphia has a stronger strength of

1353
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 5: schedule through these I mean, I guess now we're technically

1354
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 5: into Week eleven, but everybody else besides the Patriots and

1355
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 5: the Jets has only played their Week ten through their

1356
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 5: Week ten at this point in time. Philadelphia, despite all

1357
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 5: of their different things and all of AJ Brown's complaints

1358
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 5: and lack of apologies, which by the way, delights me

1359
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 5: as somebody who covered AJ for the first three years

1360
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 5: of his career.

1361
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 7: I.

1362
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 5: Have a hard time discounting Philadelphia. But if you're gonna

1363
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 5: make me pick between the two Seattle and LA, I'm

1364
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 5: gonna pick Seattle simply because I think that so much,

1365
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 5: so much more for the Rams.

1366
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 4: Hinges on Matt Stafford.

1367
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying that Matt Stafford can't finish the

1368
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 5: season healthy and that he I mean it would be

1369
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 5: so Matt Stafford is deserving of an MVP award.

1370
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 4: He really, really is.

1371
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 5: It would be cool and not just like a lifetime

1372
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 5: achievement type thing, like he's gone out there, busted his

1373
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 5: ass and earned it this year. But if he if

1374
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 5: something were to happen to Matt Stafford, who is who

1375
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 5: is Seattle's backup quarterback right now?

1376
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garolo. Jimmy Garoppolo.

1377
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, not that's the right right I'm not

1378
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 5: the former Alabama quarterback?

1379
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 4: Is it? Who's the backup quarterback right now for Seattle?

1380
01:00:59,000 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.

1381
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:01,439
Speaker 4: I'm blinking at this point in talking.

1382
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 5: Either what you like either way, if your starting quarterback

1383
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 5: goes down, your bang, so I start. If something happens,

1384
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 5: God forbid to Darnald or Stafford. Neither of these teams

1385
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 5: are the same team. But I just feel like Seattle

1386
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 5: has so many more ways to mitigate it right now

1387
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 5: than does La should something happen.

1388
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 2: Drew Locke is listed as the backup. Jaln Milroe is

1389
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 2: listed as third string. Jayalen millerll was sort of their

1390
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 2: flyer to see what he looks like for the future.

1391
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to see that anytime soon.

1392
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 2: I think Sam Donald is going to be the starter

1393
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 2: for the Seattle Seahawks for a very long time. I

1394
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 2: have thoughts because we haven't even talked about the Eagles

1395
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 2: and the Lions, who are both just at this point saying,

1396
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 2: why do you not respect us? Well, answer why we

1397
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 2: don't respect him? But first, Chris, get us updated on

1398
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 2: everything going on right now across the landscape.

1399
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 9: All right, we're getting ready for the late night games here.

1400
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 9: But first final score out of Oklahoma, I mean out

1401
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 9: of between Oklahoma and Alabama.

1402
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 3: And it sounded the final call sound like this.

1403
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Throws out to the left.

1404
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 2: It's broken up and complete.

1405
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: Knocked it down, Alabama. It's got an Oklahoma problem.

1406
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 2: The Sooners turn them o front downs.

1407
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: With fifty seconds to go. They go on the road

1408
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: and Pete, Tennessee. They go on the.

1409
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 8: Road and Pete, Alabama, and the Sooners are on the bracket.

1410
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 9: Number eleven Oklahoma twenty three to twenty one. Down goes

1411
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 9: number four Alabama. You were talking about it earlier. Meanwhile,

1412
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 9: Georgia Tech stays alive a last second field goal after

1413
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 9: they overcome a harrowing third quarter nineteen points they scored

1414
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 9: in the fourth as they defeat Boston College thirty six

1415
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 9: thirty four in rainsoaked Los Angeles. Number seventeen USC held

1416
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 9: off Number twenty one Iowa. A Mark Bronowski rushing attack

1417
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 9: had the Hawkeyes in Trojan territory, but a deep pass

1418
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 9: by him on fourth down came up just short and

1419
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 9: just out of bounds, so the Trojans hold on. Earlier

1420
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 9: in the day, Number two Indiana stomped Wisconsin thirty one

1421
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 9: to seven. Notre Dame, Number nine stomping Pittsburgh thirty seven

1422
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 9: to fifteen. Eight Number eighteen Michigan surviving a scare in

1423
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 9: Wrigley Field, twenty four, twenty two, your final score. There

1424
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 9: a couple NFL injuries to talk about. Broncos running back JK.

1425
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 9: Dobbins is reportedly done for the season. Reports indicate he'll

1426
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 9: be heading for the injured reserve with a foot injury,

1427
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 9: depriving Denver of a weapon. There, and you guys are

1428
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 9: about to talk about the Detroit Lions, Well, a little

1429
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 9: bit of injury news for them. Tight End Sam Laporta

1430
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 9: is heading to the ir dealing with a back injury,

1431
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 9: so the earliest they can get him back would be

1432
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 9: week fifteen of the NFL, and earlier today in the NBA,

1433
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 9: the Pilot the Pelicans fired head coach Willie Green after

1434
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 9: a two to ten start to the season.

1435
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 2: Guys, back to you, Oh, the Pelicans are an absolute

1436
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 2: dischal It's just it's just the Pelicans are just tough

1437
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 2: to watch. Sorry, New Orleans fans. It was supposed to

1438
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 2: be better for you with Zion and Shocking. It isn't

1439
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 2: better for you with Zion. I used my rising I'm

1440
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 2: Jason fitz Bucket fits on Fox Sports Radio. So here's

1441
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 2: the thing. Let's start with the Eagles portion of this.

1442
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 2: I want to say loudly, I don't have a problem

1443
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 2: with anything that A. J. Brown has had to say.

1444
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 2: And I want to go back to something that coach

1445
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 2: k and Nick saban Bill say. We watched some stuff

1446
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 2: at Yahoo where they were talking about different coaches in

1447
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 2: the way that they coach their teams, and one thing

1448
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 2: that we heard from both of those coaches was never

1449
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 2: worry about being the best, because that's a variable you

1450
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,439
Speaker 2: don't control. You cannot control if you are the best,

1451
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 2: because it asks for you to control everything else in

1452
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 2: the room. You can only control of every single day

1453
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 2: you are your best. Now that sounds simple, but I

1454
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 2: think when you listen to what Aj Brown has had

1455
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 2: to say so much of it about the failing of

1456
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 2: the offense book. My first thought is he's not wrong

1457
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 2: like winning games, and he made it clear I want

1458
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 2: to win games, right. The result is great, But when

1459
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 2: you are worried about being the best every day, I

1460
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 2: think it is or your best every day, I should say,

1461
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 2: I think it's okay to acknowledge the outcomes great, but

1462
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 2: what we're doing isn't working yet, and we need to

1463
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 2: fix what we're doing so we are our best.

1464
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: Every single day.

1465
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 2: People freak out, but I have no problem with AJ

1466
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 2: Brown has said because the Eagles are really good and

1467
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 2: all we're talking about is the drama around the Eagles

1468
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,959
Speaker 2: instead of the Eagles being really good.

1469
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 5: I don't think the Eagles actually think it's dramatic, and

1470
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 5: I understand why fans do. Right, if you understand the

1471
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 5: person that AJ Brown is and I listen, I'm not

1472
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 5: going to pretend to know everything about the human being

1473
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 5: just because I had him what four years ago at

1474
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 5: this point, since he's been in Tennessee on as a

1475
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 5: second round pick by the Titans in twenty nineteen. But

1476
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 5: AJ Brown is a complicated person. He is somebody who

1477
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 5: works his way through a variety of different things. He's

1478
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 5: somebody who's gone through mental health struggles. He's somebody who achieves,

1479
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 5: or rather strives to achieve greatness in everything that he does.

1480
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 5: And I think the fact that he's had kids in

1481
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 5: the last couple of years has really grounded him in

1482
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 5: a meaningful way. And I think if you know who

1483
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 5: this human being is, truly at his core, you understand

1484
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 5: that he doesn't want it simply for individual accolades.

1485
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 4: Even though you could look at him.

1486
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 5: And say, well, you're on a seven and two team,

1487
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 5: shut up in go block or something like that.

1488
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 4: That would be the easy, lazy thing to do.

1489
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 5: In this particular situation, the Eagles still have the opportunity

1490
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 5: to be overwhelming. They still have an opportunity. We just

1491
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 5: had a conversation about who's the best team of the

1492
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 5: NFC between the Seahawks and the Rams, and discounted the

1493
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 5: Eagles in.

1494
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 4: This particular situation.

1495
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 5: Because the offensive line used to be their superpower, it

1496
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 5: has not been consistently so far this season.

1497
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 4: Their running game has suffered. As a result.

1498
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 5: You're asking Jalen Hurts to do a lot more. That's

1499
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 5: not a formula for success. Even though Jalen Hurts, to

1500
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 5: his credit, has earned that Super Bowl championship and is

1501
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 5: a part of a defending champion team. AJ Brown being

1502
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 5: a meaningful part of that offense is the way that

1503
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 5: the Eagles become the best version of themselves right now, FITZI.

1504
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 4: And it's not just about counting stats.

1505
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 5: Thirty one of fifty four is his receptions to target

1506
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 5: ratio four hundred and eight yards, three touchdowns. AJ hasn't

1507
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,479
Speaker 5: had less than a thousand yards in a season since

1508
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, his last year here in Tennessee, when

1509
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 5: he only played thirteen games. That would be a crime

1510
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 5: to have something like that on your roster, so unutilized

1511
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 5: or underutilized to the point where you're just it is

1512
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 5: inhibiting you in a variety of different ways, even if

1513
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 5: you still find ways to win games at the end.

1514
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 5: Nobody covered themselves in glory when the Eagles outlasted the

1515
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 5: Packers ten to seven, right Like, that's not that that

1516
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 5: may be a victory and that's all that matters against

1517
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 5: a conference opponent, but it doesn't. You don't come away

1518
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 5: from that game as an Eagles fan feeling good about

1519
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 5: the circumstance, because you still haven't ultimately solved the thing

1520
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 5: that is inhibiting you, which is why the hell Aj

1521
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 5: Brown can't get more involved in the offense.

1522
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent.

1523
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 2: The crazy thing is much like I said last year.

1524
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 2: All year we're talking about the Chiefs and how they're broken,

1525
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs are going to go to the super Bowl.

1526
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 2: We are talking about the Eagles and how broken they

1527
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 2: are constantly. If the playoffs started today, Philadelphia would have

1528
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the NFC, a first round

1529
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 2: by and home field advantage. And if you just listen

1530
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 2: to sports talk radio conversations about the Eagles, you would

1531
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 2: think that the Eagles were five and four and grasping

1532
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 2: for their playoff lives. We're talking about the Eagles like

1533
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 2: their record is actually what the Kansas City Chiefs record

1534
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 2: is this year, and they're the defending super Bowl champions.

1535
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 2: I don't remember ever seeing a defending super Bowl champion

1536
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,759
Speaker 2: becomes so invisible while they are consistently having success.

1537
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Philly is right now.

1538
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 2: So for all the things that are broken that Aj

1539
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 2: Brown wants to get right, that all of us want

1540
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 2: to see be better, they're seven and damn two. They

1541
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: are seven and two at this point, so I refuse

1542
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 2: to just eliminate them from the conversation, much like it

1543
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 2: just doesn't pass the eye test. That's the part of

1544
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 2: this that's difficult, which brings us.

1545
01:08:58,400 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: To the Lions, right, Like the Lions.

1546
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 2: It's the best of the Lions this year has been

1547
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 2: I think better than anybody. If you just took the

1548
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 2: best moments of the Lions on film and you turn

1549
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 2: it into a highlight reel, it would look like they

1550
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 2: were absolutely the Jugger Nott nobody wants to face. If

1551
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 2: you put the worst of the Lions on a highlight

1552
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 2: field reel and asked us all to watch it, you

1553
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: wouldn't be sure if they were competing with the Jets

1554
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:18,440
Speaker 2: as one of the worst.

1555
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: Teams this year.

1556
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 2: Like the up and down of the Lions, who were

1557
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 2: still obviously an incredibly talented and good football team, makes

1558
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 2: it impossible for me to trust. Like, if the Lions

1559
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 2: get hot, the Lions can win the Super Bowl. If

1560
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 2: the Lions have sort of the game that they've had

1561
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 2: repeatedly over the course of this sort the haves that

1562
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 2: they've had at times over the course of this season,

1563
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 2: I don't even worry about him in the playoffs. That's

1564
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 2: wild and that's why I think they're a notch lower

1565
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 2: for me in the NFC.

1566
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:43,799
Speaker 1: Dude.

1567
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then there's the play calling situation with Dan

1568
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 5: Campbell taking that over to his credit by the.

1569
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 4: Way, they went out there and dominated Washington.

1570
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 5: Film glasses on Dan Campbell looking down the end of

1571
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 5: his nose glasses Dan Campbell because the play sheets too

1572
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 5: small and they need his readers. Is is one of

1573
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 5: the funnier things that we've seen. But I mean, I know,

1574
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 5: we had a Coach of the Year segment that we

1575
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 5: thought about getting to tonight and aren't going to be

1576
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 5: able to just for lack of time here. But Dan

1577
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 5: Campbell deserves a tremendous amount of credit for surviving this

1578
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 5: and still making the Lions despite the brain drain without

1579
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 5: the coordinators. And there is some understandable brain drain without

1580
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 5: the coordinators losing both coordinators to head coaching positions this

1581
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 5: past year, Dan Campbell has found a way to manage

1582
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 5: it all. I mean, this alone FITSI and maybe they

1583
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 5: are too dependent on one kind of thing willing them

1584
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 5: to win wins here, but there are only the number

1585
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 5: of players under the age of twenty four with the

1586
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 5: most touchdowns in NFL history if you look at them

1587
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 5: throughout the course of their careers. There are four Hall

1588
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 5: of Famers on this list, and Jamier Gibbs, Barry Sanders,

1589
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 5: Randy Moss, Emmett Smith, Jim Brown. Jamier Gibbs in terms

1590
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 5: of the volume that he's getting, I'm stealing that from

1591
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 5: NFL Stats and Info. They send out that weekly email

1592
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 5: of what to watch or things to watch in the

1593
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 5: upcoming week of games.

1594
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 4: Jamiir Gibbs has been awesome.

1595
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 5: They found ways to get him the most amount of

1596
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 5: carries humanly possible.

1597
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 4: Without running him into the ground. I think that.

1598
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 5: Detroit has I think Detroit is better than you are

1599
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 5: giving them credit for, even though I acknowledge that there's

1600
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 5: always going to be in the back of your mind

1601
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 5: that opening game where they just looked completely mortal, even

1602
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 5: worse than mortal, that in that moment saying can that

1603
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 5: happen to them in any single game, single elimination sample

1604
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 5: size when they make the playoffs this year, again, it's possible,

1605
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 5: depending on who they end up being matched up with.

1606
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 2: The hard part for the Lions is that you know

1607
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,839
Speaker 2: it's not yes, the opening game against the Packers.

1608
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 1: There were just bad moments in it.

1609
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 2: Then they beat the Bears early in the season. The Bears,

1610
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm still not sure, actually good football team. They beat

1611
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 2: a Ravens team that was beat up in a shell

1612
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 2: of themselves. The Brown suck. The Bengals suck. They lose

1613
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs, like what's their landmark win? The Bucks

1614
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 2: like beating Tampa Bay and it's tough.

1615
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 4: Goodpa, They're good.

1616
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: That was fine, and that's that's the thing.

1617
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 2: So it's just hard because the standard that's been set

1618
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 2: by the Lions, because of the way the Lions look like.

1619
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 2: The Lions for the last couple of years have looked

1620
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 2: effortless in just moving the football.

1621
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: This year just hasn't quite looked like that.

1622
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 2: And but that doesn't change the fact that the fact

1623
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 2: that it's still Aman Ross Brown, it's still Jamir Gibbs,

1624
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 2: it's still Jared Goff who's playing absolutely lights out year

1625
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 2: in and year out. At this point, it has been Laporter,

1626
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 2: Laporta put out on injured reserve for ill miss at

1627
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 2: least four games. If they don't have Laporter going into

1628
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs, I feel much much differently. But we've also

1629
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 2: seen some differences in his usage. So, you know, it's

1630
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 2: just interesting. I think part of the reason the Lions

1631
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 2: are doubted a little bit is because the very standard

1632
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 2: that the Lions set in the way that they looked

1633
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 2: last year in being so stinking good, don't I don't

1634
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 2: know the answer to this, Like I think right right now, realistically,

1635
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 2: if you told me that we were just doing an

1636
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 2: elimination and we all had to pick a team to

1637
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 2: go to the NFC, if I to the playoffs from

1638
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 2: the or the super Bowl from the NFC, if I

1639
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 2: got the Seahawks, the Rams, the Eagles, and the Lines,

1640
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 2: if I got any of those teams, I could easily

1641
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 2: find the argument that gets that team to the super Bowl.

1642
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 2: And that's kind of unprecedented, right, Like, there are four

1643
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 2: It's not like we're sitting here having to excuse.

1644
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: You know, a parody on this.

1645
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 2: I think we've got four incredibly good football teams at

1646
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 2: the top of the NFC.

1647
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and whereas the AFC is just wide open at

1648
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 5: this point in time. I mean, it's you're looking at

1649
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 5: a situation where if again the playoffs don't start today,

1650
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 5: but if they did, the Chiefs would be on the

1651
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 5: outside looking in. The Ravens are on the outside looking in,

1652
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 5: and the Bills would be a wild card team. Like,

1653
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 5: it's just it's an unholy mess on the other side

1654
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 5: of the bracket.

1655
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm supposed to truck and trust Denver with

1656
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 2: the bow knicks for the overthrow, like I'm out, I'm

1657
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 2: out on Bote.

1658
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:47,719
Speaker 1: I don't trust. I don't trust Denver.

1659
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 4: Overthrow is so overpressive.

1660
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, just you know when the Broncos, if

1661
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 2: the Broncos had a better quarterback, and.

1662
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: They'd be pissed if.

1663
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 4: I was a Broncos fan. That's so disrespectful.

1664
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 2: Hey, sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and just

1665
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 2: remind yourself, Hey, I let myself go, Like that's what

1666
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:07,600
Speaker 2: you just got to look in the mirror and be like,

1667
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 2: my team doesn't have that guy a quarterback and.

1668
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 4: They're eight and two. If that's letting yourself go.

1669
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 5: Brother, I've been covering awful Titans football for I mean,

1670
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:16,480
Speaker 5: not my entire.

1671
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 4: Career, this is the last four years.

1672
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 5: But I'd take I'd take the bo overthrow if it

1673
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 5: got me to eight and two.

1674
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 2: And there are two plays away from being undefeated this season,

1675
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 2: and I still don't trust.

1676
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 1: Their quarterback to win a playoff game. All right, we're

1677
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: coming up next.

1678

1679
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 2: the history of sports talk radio unless Shade blows it.

1680
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:36,759
Speaker 2: A lot of pressure on this, a lot of pressure

1681
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 2: on Shape to get this thing right. Would you rather

01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 2: the world. You can say anything and be fine if

1687
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 2: you whisper the same statement suddenly becomes creepy.

1688
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:10,200

1689
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,080
