1
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: The rankings are not the inert I look accurate.

2
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: But now with the rankings, the rankings are okay, and

3
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: rankings don't even look all that different than the japeople.

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: It's the format that's the problem has been.

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: It was the moment that came out with this thing,

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: and now it's really really manifesting itself into a grade

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: A mess. Well, depending on how you look at the sport. Look,

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: it's Tuesday night, it's November twenty sixth, It's the year

9
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: of our lower twenty twenty four were jam packed high top

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: a festive but confused downtown Nashville, Tennessee, probably brought to

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: you by Academy Sports and Outdoors.

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot to get to.

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: We're starting to show a little bit later than we

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: normally do because we had the playoff rankings come out.

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: I got full reaction to that. I got a lot

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: of chaos scenarios to talk about. It's Tuesday night, so

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: we've got full predictions for rivalry weekend. I got games

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: galore that we're going to talk talk about. I got

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 2: four added best bets on tonight's show, Mac Brown's Getting Fired.

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: I got to talk about that.

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: We got a new JP Pole Drop and I know

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: a lot of you were on the road this week,

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: so I told Jesse and Colin, let's just stack this thing.

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: You probably won't even be able to listen to all

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: this in one sitting, and that's okay. Food and our

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: show this week no different. They're watching us in Decab, Illinois, Ocilla, Georgia,

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: Jefferson City, Missouri, and Wichita Falls, Texas. Appreciate you, guys

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: so much. Make sure you're following at late Kick Josh

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: on Instagram because this is the last time I'm talking

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: to you before these games happen Saturday. We're going to

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: be in College Station Saturday night and it is going

32
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: to be a wild scene at Kyle Field and I'm

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: going to have sideline access, so I'm going to have

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: a lot for you in the Instagram story. But that's

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: for the future. How about the here and now College

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: football playoff rankings just got released. This paper's still hot.

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: The bracket doesn't matter right now, guys, because we've got

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: to find out who the conference champs are until you

39
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: get those seeded because we've got auto bids.

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: More on that in a second. This is meaningless.

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: Texas A and M's a perfect example, Texas A and

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: M number twenty. Right now, Texas A and M could

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: end up with the first round by if they win

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: against Texas and they go in the SEC Championship. So

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter. If this thing worked the way

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: it should and you just took the top twelve whatever

47
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: and no one had auto bids, then the rankings would matter,

48
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: the bracket would matter, but the projectioned bracket doesn't matter

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 2: right now. Having said that, I find it interesting as

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: we look at the way the top twenty five broke down.

51
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: There's a lot of SEC teams in there. They got

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: eight of them in there. That's pretty normal. Five Big

53
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: ten pretty normal. The Big twelve's got five teams in

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: the top twenty five, And yet I'm being told the

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: Big twelve champ could be left out of the playoff. Well,

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: that's some garbage on the surface, but especially if you're

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: telling me that league largely plays each other. All the

58
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: contenders kind of have played each other, and a champ

59
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: could emerge from a conference with five teams ranked in

60
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: the top twenty five left out.

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: What are we talking about?

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: We'll see three from the ACC and A they could

63
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: all make it. So, yeah, that's where we are right now,

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: three G five's are ranked in the top twenty five

65
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: Notre Dames in there. South Carolina is in a weird spot.

66
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: So South Carolina is number fifteen right now. I got

67
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: no problem with that. Like I'm Skyhune and South Carolina

68
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: is like most people on the committee are. They play

69
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: at number twelve Saturday. So South Carolina's number fifteen. They

70
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: play at number twelve, and so you would think that

71
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: they are like really really custom made to springboard into

72
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: the top twelve potentially with a whim. And I know

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: why you think that. But here's the funny thing about that.

74
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Bama if they beat Auburn, an Ole, miss if they

75
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: beat Mississippi State.

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: They're both double digit favorites.

77
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: If that were to happen, those two teams would not

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: have nearly as impressive a win this weekend as South

79
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: Carolina would, but they both have head headwinds over South Carolina.

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: So there's this weird sort of dichotomy of Okay, do

81
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: we think South Carolina is the better team that just

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: got the better win, and is that enough to vault

83
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: them over a couple of teams that beat them, or

84
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: do we view those resumes still as comparable enough, we're

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: head to head factors in. That's one of the age

86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: old bits of criteria here. If you've got comparable teams,

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: comparable resumes. That's when head to head factors in. And

88
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: the only way you can rank one of these teams

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: above the others in sort of a comparative analysis if

90
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: they've got a head to head loss with them, is

91
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 2: the team that lost. We still view as definitively better

92
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: that happens sometimes would it happen there. I'm also really

93
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: noticing that the more this bracket comes into focus, the

94
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: more you've got a Penn State just kind of floating

95
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: there in the four, five, six, seven, whatever range, Notre Dame,

96
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: same thing. They're floating in what we would call the

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: home field territory range. The more it becomes pretty obvious

98
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: we're gonna have some cold weather home games, teams that

99
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 2: won't have a first round by but they will have

100
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: a first round home game. Right now, the way that

101
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: bracket sets up, we would see a game played in

102
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: state College. We'd see one played in South Bend. Athens.

103
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: George is not warm in December, but compared to the

104
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: other two, relatively speaking, it is. We'd also have one

105
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Ohio, so there is cold weather on the horizon.

106
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: Arizona State.

107
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: I mean prayers if you guys have to go to Columbus, Ohio,

108
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: if you got to play Ohio State on the moon,

109
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: it would be tough. But you got to play him

110
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: in twenty five degree weather, that's tough. The SEC champion

111
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: runner up could be left out. I didn't never think.

112
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: I'd never thought that was possible. When I first saw

113
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: the way the format worked, I thought to myself, well,

114
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: the SEC champion will always be in.

115
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: The Big Ten champion will always.

116
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: Be in, but also the other team that plays in

117
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: that conference title game will be in. Because I just

118
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: thought to myself, there's not a world where a team

119
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: is good enough to make it to Atlanta but not

120
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: be good enough to still be in the top twelve

121
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: when all a said and done, even if they lose.

122
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: But we are in that world, and I'm not disagreeing

123
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: with it. We are in a world where A and

124
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: M's at twenty. They play Texas this weekend. If they

125
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: beat them, which is their only route to Atlanta. If

126
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: they beat them, they would jump up. They probably wouldn't

127
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 2: jump up into the top twelve or Top ten or whatever.

128
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: And that's important because at that point, my own personal

129
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: theory is in play there. You know, my theory has

130
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: always been, oh, you can't punish a team for losing

131
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: a conference title game. But what I've always meant by that,

132
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: if I haven't clarified it enough, I will now is

133
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: if you're in the top twelve and you lose your

134
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: conference title game, especially in the SEC or the Big Ten,

135
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: you should not be punished and dropped. I don't think

136
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: A and M would even be in the top twelve

137
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: in that scenario. So if they lose to Georgia, they

138
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: would be out of the playoff, but that's because they

139
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: never would have been in the playoff before the game.

140
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: Problem is gonna be if we get to some year,

141
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: maybe this year or maybe another year, where you're like

142
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: number ten and you lose the conference title game and

143
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: they drop you to fourteen or thirteen, then I got

144
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: a big problem.

145
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: But having said.

146
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: That, you notice I keep specifying the SEC in the

147
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: Big Ten. It's because I think those conferences will be

148
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: given preferential treatment and due to the quality of team

149
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: and quality of schedule in those conferences. I get it

150
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: they're deeper conferences. Whether you like that or not, that's true.

151
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: I think they could do this to an ACC runner up.

152
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: I think they could do this certainly to a Big

153
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: twelve runner up. They may keep the Big twelve champion out.

154
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that'll happen, but some people do think

155
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: that'll happen. But man, Notre Dame. Notre Dame's sitting there

156
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: right now, number five. You know, Notre Dame's got the

157
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: fifth best odds to win it all. Now, there's a

158
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: little drop off between four and five, but Notre Names

159
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: number five. Hey, do you think if they lose to

160
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: USC they drop all the way out? I do, depending

161
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: on how it shakes out behind him, I do six

162
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: and a half to a seven and a half point favorite,

163
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: depending on when you've looked at that line this week.

164
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Notre Name plays at USC this weekend.

165
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: Do they at the College FOOTBALLLAYFF committee headquarters? Do they

166
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: really mean what they say when they say we will

167
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: not care if we put a rematch in the first round.

168
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: We will not care if it's conference versus conference in

169
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: the first round.

170
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 1: I think they kind of mean.

171
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: It, but I also don't think they one one hundred

172
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: percent mean it, Like if if you have watched a

173
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: movie before and you've seen this guy tell this girl,

174
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: I would never be unfaithful to you.

175
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: But then this.

176
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: Really extreme kind of circumstance exception to the rule factor

177
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: enters the equation and he's unfaithful. Well, he didn't really

178
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: mean that he'd never be unfaithful, and shame on him.

179
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: By the way, we do not support infidelity of any

180
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: kind on this program. However, we also understand in the

181
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: college football playoff committee room, they speak absolutes. They say

182
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: we will never factor in whether it's a rematch or

183
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: not when we're seeding this.

184
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: But I think they may. I think they may.

185
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: And the other thing to keep in mind, and I'm

186
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: not sure where the committee would fall on this, but

187
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: like right now, we have got an SEC versus SEC

188
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: in the first round Tennessee Georgia. And we've got a

189
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: big ten Big ten in the first round Indiana Penn State. Now,

190
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: obviously that guarantees those major conferences that one of their

191
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: teams is knocked out in the first round.

192
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they love that. Now, it shouldn't matter.

193
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: You guys are screaming right now, you're saying, there he

194
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: goes being preferential to the big conferences.

195
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm not.

196
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it shouldn't matter. What I'm doing is

197
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: I'm asking, but will it matter? That's what I'm asking.

198
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: Indiana is in this thing. By the way, that was

199
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: one of the big takeaways. I've got a lot of

200
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: folks watching the show, by the way, I appreciate it.

210
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: So that's all I ask. Indiana's in this thing, man.

211
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: I was very speculative last week if they lost, would

212
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: they be out? Well, everyone else fell behind them, so

213
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: not only are they in. I was listening to Ward

214
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 2: Manual talk on the Playoff Reveal show. He said, their

215
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: body of work warrants them being in.

216
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: I agree.

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: Now, I agree that the circumstances changed around Indiana. So

218
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: now I agree, there's still a lot to sort out.

219
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: Everyone's had this mentality all week. I don't know if

220
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: you've sensed this or maybe you've reflected this. Everyone's just

221
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: talking about the playoff and the games are still happening.

222
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: Everyone's talking about conference championships, and the regular season is

223
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: still happening. Miami's not Miami's not in the conference title

224
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: game yet. Guys, They've still got to play Syracuse. So

225
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve certainly not sorted out. Ohio State's not

226
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten title game. They've still got to

227
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 2: beat Michigan. Now you may think they're going to but

228
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: I guarantee you you thought a lot of things would

229
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: happen last week.

230
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: I know I did, and then all of a sudden

231
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: they didn't.

232
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: Shame Shame on the script writers for making a fool

233
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: out of me last week. I got more on this,

234
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: Just hold on, I got more on this. Academy Sports

Speaker 2: everything that you need. They got clothing all over the place.

245
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: I went in an academy in Athens, Georgia, a couple

246
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. It's a great thing because you walk

247
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: in and you smelled this mixture of like the smell

248
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: of new basketball gives you, but also the smell that

249
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 2: new clothing gives you, and the smell that a new

250
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: shoe gives you, and it's.

251
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Just all wafting. It's great.

252
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: It's like walking into a steakhouse. But for merchandise, it's

253
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: a great thing. And Academy's been with us from the beginning,

254
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,080

257
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: great new set that we have, so we appreciate Academy

258
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: Sports and Outdoors.

259
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: Okay, back too.

260
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: The matter at Ham College football playoff chaos is inevitable.

261
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: The only thing we're trying to figure out is where's

262
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: it gonna come? Which angle is it gonna come from?

263
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: These rankings right now are not the problem. The format is.

264
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: The format's insane. Auto bids are insane. It's always been

265
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: a problem. It's a big problem now. So the first

266
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: thing I'm gonna do is I want to show you

267
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: something I've got exclusive from fan duel the odds on

268
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 2: all of the first round games. So we've got the

269
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: first round games Arizona State versus Ohio State, and Columbus

270
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: Ohio State would be a twenty one point favorite.

271
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back to this, So just hold.

272
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: On Tennessee at Georgia, Georgia minus eight and a half,

273
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: Indiana at Penn State, Penn State minus nine and a half,

274
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: SMU at Notre Dame, Notre Dame minus ten. So in

275
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: those first round games, you notice there wouldn't be any

276
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: line below eight and a half. That's the first thing.

277
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: Second thing is we got a big problem. I mean,

278
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: this format is a big problem. And it did not

279
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: take until week thirteen for some of us to realize

280
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: that the format of this thing is a much bigger

281
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: problem than the rankings are. Auto bids are a disaster

282
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: of an idea. I know people meant well enough when

283
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: they got in the room and they said, we got

284
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: to incentivize winning conference championships. Well, that only makes sense

285
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: in a playoff format if all your conferences are roughly equal.

286
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: In the NFL, you get rewarded because the AFC East

287
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: and the AFC West and North and South, while they're

288
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: not exactly equal, it's still four professional football teams playing

289
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: in everyone those divisions. So yes, you get rewarded in

290
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 2: certain ways. You get guaranteed certain things if you win those.

291
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: That is not the way college football should work, unless

292
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: you're looking to have an experiment with your playoff instead

293
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: of truly reward the best teams and the most deserving teams,

294
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: because in this case they do overlap, they go hand

295
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: in hand. So let me explain to you now that

296
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: rubber is meeting the road and people are seeing how

297
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: farcical this could actually be. What I'm talking about, O,

298
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: We're going to Ohio State, in all likelihood will play

299
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten Championship Game as the top two

300
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: seeds in America, as they should. They've earned it, they

301
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: deserve it. I got no problem with it. Someone's gonna

302
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: lose that game, and that someone will probably drop to

303
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: the five seed. Let's just say, for the sake of argument,

304
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: it's Ohio State. Do you understand what the way this

305
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: thing is currently set up. Ohio State has to drop

306
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: out of the top four because they're not a conference champ,

307
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: you know, so we got to make room for a

308
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: Boise State. That's right, kids, Boise State would be guaranteed

309
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: a higher seed table than Ohio State because.

310
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: They won the what isn't Mountain West? You know?

311
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: Cause all conference champs created equal these days, everyone deserves

312
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: to the table. That makes you feel good. That's bumper

313
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: sticker logic. It's stupid, but it's bumper sticker logic. So

314
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: you know, for the sake of making everyone feel good,

315
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: let's go with it. Well, let me tell you how

316
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: dumb this is. Ohio State would drop to the five seed.

317
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: They'd be punished they drop to the five seed. As

318
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: this thing is currently stacked up, Ohio State would play

319
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: Arizona State in the first round, and then they would

320
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: advance to play Boise State in the second round. If

321
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: they won, Ohio State would be a three plus touchdown

322
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: favorite in each of those games. Now, sure, they'd have

323
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: to play one more game they wouldn't get that first

324
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: round by But I'm going to suggest to you that

325
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: Oregon sitting there with the first round by play in Georgia,

326
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: is in a much less advantageous position than Ohio State

327
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: playing two teams. The data and analytics can shove it

328
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: on this, I'm right, And if you're Ohio State, you

329
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: know good and well you like your odds of beating

330
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: Arizona State and Boise State back to back, especially with

331
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: one of them being at home over having to play Georgia.

332
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you're guaranteed to losing against Georgia. You

333
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: may even be favored against Georgia for all I know.

334
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: But you know Georgia's athletic profile, you know Kirby Smart,

335
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: and you also know Arizona State and Boise State, all

336
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: due respect to have no business on the same field

337
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: as you in a postseason setting. So that's what first

338
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: round buys are now locking in for us. There is

339
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: no way that the SEC and the Big Ten are

340
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: going to sign back off on this beyond twenty twenty six.

341
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: I don't think there is there room for a three

342
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: loss SEC team in this thing. There is, but some

343
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: stuff's gotta happen. I'm not going to be fighting for

344
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: this because once you've lost that many games, especially some

345
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: in egregious fashion like Bama Vanderbilt or Old Miss Kentucky,

346
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: you've lost.

347
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Benefit of the doubt with me.

348
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: I may have you power rated high, but at this point,

349
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: if you're in, good for you.

350
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: If you're out, it's your fault.

351
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: If Notre Dame loses this weekend to USC, it opens

352
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: the door. Maybe if Clemson loses to South Carolina, and

353
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: Clemson is pretty overrated as a team in the playoff

354
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: rankings right now, if Clemson loses, that opens a door.

355
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: I think just if those two things happen, a spot

356
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: is open. I'd be really interested to see what happens

357
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: if UNLV beats Boise.

358
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: In their conference title game. Be really interested in that.

359
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: And speaking of that, is there a chance that we

360
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: have two G five teams in the playoff?

361
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: The answer is yes. I may think it's ridiculous.

362
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: I may think a G five playoff should exist, but

363
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: it doesn't. So this is what we have right now.

364
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: This is the current format. You're kidding yourself if you're

365
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: denying that this could happen. This could absolutely happen. I mean,

366
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: Tulane I think is the best G five team in

367
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: the country right now, they're behind Boise. I'd favor them

368
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: by seven against Boise on a neutral feel, for whatever

369
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: that's worth to you.

370
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: But look, if.

371
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: Boise wins out, yes they're in this thing, they probably

372
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: get a first round by If two Lane wins out,

373
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 2: they're red hot right now. If two Lane wins out,

374
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 2: there is a chance that they are ranked higher than

375
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: the Big twelve champ. There is a chance of that.

376
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: And remember we're just taking the five highest ranked conference champs.

377
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: So the Big Ten would be in, the SEC, would

378
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: be in, the ACC would be in. In this scenario,

379
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: Boise would be in with the Mountain West. There is

380
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: a chance two Lane with the AAC is higher ranked

381
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: than whoever comes out of the Big twelve. I don't

382
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: think it should be that way conditionally, I'd have to

383
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: see what the resumes look like. But because I think

384
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: the caliber of schedule you play in the Big twelve

385
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 2: is that much tougher than in any G five conference.

386
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: But I am not on the committee, nor am I

387
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: scheduled to be on it next year.

388
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

389
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that could happen in the ACC. There's another little

390
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: chaos scenario that couldn You know, Clemson plays South Carolina Saturday.

391
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 2: Let's say they win and then they're done.

392
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: So let's just say Miami and SMU do end up

393
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: going to the ACC Championship game.

394
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: Clemson wins Saturday, they're done for the regular season. They

395
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: just sit at home. They beat a top fifteen team

396
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: to close the season, they're probably in the playoff if

397
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: just that happened, If Clemson just beat South Carolina, they're

398
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: probably in the playoff. What I want to know is

399
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: if Clemson beat South Carolina and SMU beats Miami close,

400
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: how how does a top ten Clemson let you know

401
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 2: what you know? Forget that because I'm talking about how

402
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: they get three in. Let's say Clemson were to win

403
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: this Saturday and Miami doesn't, so Miami goes to Syracuse.

404
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: So let's say Miami loses and they're out, or maybe

405
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: SMU loses, who knows. But let's say somehow Clemson gets

406
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: in that ACC Championship game and they're sitting there as

407
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 2: like the nine seed or the ten seed, and they lose.

408
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: Do you think the committee would drop them out? Do

409
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: you think the Committee would punish them for playing a

410
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 2: conference title game, because remember, we've talked about that in

411
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: the SEC, We've talked about that in the Big Ten.

412
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: We never had reason to talk about.

413
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: This scenario in the ACC because up until very recently,

414
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: the acced didn't have enough contenders with a leg to

415
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: stand on. Well, now, according to the Committee, they do.

416
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: So Clemson win this Saturday, it's not a conference game,

417
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: but Clemson wins this Saturday against South Carolina, well that

418
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: would boost them up probably to number ten or number

419
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: nine or something like that. If some craziness happens, they

420
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: could go to the ACC championship game and lose, Would

421
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: they fall out?

422
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 1: Would the Committee punish them? I don't know.

423
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: We've always known the five seed was going to be

424
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: a really, really good spot, and Ohio State is showing

425
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: you Like Ohio State, I just told you that'd be

426
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: a twenty one point favorite against on a state. There'd

427
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: be more than a twenty one point favorite against Boise

428
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: in the second round. But you notice what's happening with

429
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: the sixth seed. Like the number six seed, depending on

430
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: how this stuff falls, could draw like an Indiana and

431
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: then SMU or someone like that. If the conference championship

432
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: game kind of falls a different way. My point is,

433
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 2: not only is the five seed looking to potentially have

434
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: a very navigable path depending on how this stuff falls,

435
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 2: you could say that about the sixth seed too. Meanwhile,

436
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: number seven seed's gonna play Georgia in round one, and

437
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: if you survive that, you're gonna play Oregon in round two.

438
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: There is a big difference in the way those seedings

439
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 2: are drawn up. So, yes, we've got a bunch of

440
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: chaos on tap. I don't have a huge problem with

441
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 2: the rankings. I got a problem with the format. And

442
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: you just either agree with me on that or you don't.

443
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 2: I know that there is a school of thought that

444
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: you have to keep the auto bids for the Conference

445
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: champs to maintain the sanctity of conference champion, and I

446
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: say to that it doesn't make enough sense to me.

447
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: I don't care about your auto bids.

448
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: I just think they should go to the top four

449
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: teams regardless. The autobid stuff for Conference champs is insane,

450
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: and you're about to see why. I don't think it

451
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: may last all that long, but you're about to see why.

452
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about quick trip because They are

453
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 2: fueling our tour all across the country, and you guys

454
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 2: know that we've been all across the country to the

455
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 2: point where we need one of those maps. We should

456
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: probably get graphics on that. That's a post Thanksgiving project

457
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: Quick Trip. We've been given out free tanks of gas

458
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: all year long. They've been a phenomenal partner for us,

459
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: long time to come. Well, we've got a big, big

460
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: plans on the horizon with Quick Trip. But in the

461
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 2: immediacy I'm gonna drive home to Georgia tonight, go have

462
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: some Thanksgiving. But then I'm headed to College Station Saturday

463
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: for the whole new Saturday tour, proudly fueled by Quick Trip.

464
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: It's Texas versus Texas A and M.

465
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you in strong enough terms how much

466
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 2: I've been looking forward to this thing. We don't normally

467
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: put that graphic full screen. I say, we put that

468
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: graphic full screen. I say, we look at that thing

469
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: like it's wallpaper. You don't understand the hatred. We're gonna

470
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: break the game down later.

471
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: In the show.

472
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 2: The outright hatred in Texas versus Texas A and M

473
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: is something that I don't think we.

474
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: Can put into words. I'll try later.

475
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't think we can put it into words, but

476
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: oh man, it's gonna bleed through. It's gonna be so beautiful.

477
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: I just encourage you guys. The younger you are, the

478
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: more I'm encouraging you. Make sure you're watching this game Saturday.

479
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: So that brings us to Texas, Texas A and M Saturday,

480
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 2: seven thirty Eastern, six thirty Central. It's the ABC game

481
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: of the week. We're gonna be there. The whole New

482
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: Saturday tour is gonna have us right there on the sideline.

483
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: But basically, what I need to tell you all outside

484
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: of these two fan bases is we got what we

485
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: wanted Back in August. A lot of us, myself included,

486
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: looked at this and said.

487
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's right. We get Texas and Texas A

488
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: and M again.

489
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: And then some of you eighteen years old, twenty years old,

490
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: twenty one year old. Most of our audience is under

491
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 2: thirty years old. A lot of you hitting me up

492
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: and said, hey, I get there close geographically, and they

493
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 2: used to be in the same conference, but why do

494
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: you keep making such a big deal about this?

495
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: And I smiled. I wasn't sarcastic.

496
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: I just smiled and I said, you're going to learn

497
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 2: something this year, and this Saturday, some of you are

498
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: going to learn something about just the pure, unadult, traded, unfiltered,

499
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: unexplainable hatred.

500
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: Hatred.

501
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 2: Contrary to what even Mema used to teach me, it's

502
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: not always a bad thing.

503
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes it can.

504
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: Be a good thing, and it's a great thing in

505
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: rivalries like this. The winners going to Atlanta. And when

506
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: I say we got what we wanted, what I hoped

507
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: was that there would be implications on this beyond just

508
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: the rivalry, because look, these two were going to get

509
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: into a knife fight no matter what. But someone in Reno,

510
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: Nevada may not care as much if one or both

511
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: of them were out of the playoff race or the

512
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: SEC championship race. Well they're both in both of them.

513
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: So we got what we wanted here. So now I

514
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: got to ask quinn Ewers, what are you going to

515
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: do Saturday? Because this is a major quinn Eewers game.

516
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: Make no mistake about it. There is a gear that

517
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 2: we saw them hit with him at quarterback against Alabama

518
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: two years ago, and if you think about it, they've

519
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: been a really good team. They've been one of the

520
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: best in the country collectively, but I have not seen

521
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: them hit that gear again, and I still believe it's there.

522
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: I picked Texas to win the SEC.

523
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: I picked them to go, I think, all the way

524
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 2: to the National title Game in the preseason. I picked

525
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 2: them to do that because I think that gear is there,

526
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 2: and they're still in contention for all that, And I

527
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: guess it's a compliment to say they're in contention for

528
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: all that, And I still think that extra gear is there.

529
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: A and M is much better against the run than

530
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: the pass. And I'm teeing all this up to say, hey,

531
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: if it's there, maybe we'll see it click into gear.

532
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Here.

533
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: They've got a really explosive and capable set of pass catchers.

534
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: The A and M secondary little paper popper of a

535
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: stat here. Potentially the A and M secondary is one

536
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 2: hundredth or worse defending passes of thirty forty fifty yards

537
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: and all those categories they've been had. To a large degree,

538
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: they've been had. So I've sat there and watched Texas.

539
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 2: I've seen them play multiple times this year. They're of

540
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: course undefeated when I watch them in person this year,

541
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: but it hasn't been definitive.

542
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: It hasn't been.

543
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: Slammed the door Quinn viewers over the top and all

544
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: those receivers, And maybe that's just not them this year,

545
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: and that's okay. They can still win if it's not,

546
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: but it certainly tees them up better to win if

547
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 2: it is. Texas A and M's defense has been a

548
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 2: letdown to me and that fan base over the past

549
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 2: few games. They allowed forty four against South Carolina, forty

550
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 2: three against Auburn. That was an overtime game, but still

551
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: it got to overtime because A and M's defense just

552
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: not quite what it had been, which is disappointing because

553
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: the players man I thought had the I thought they

554
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 2: had the gas in the tank to be a defensive

555
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: oriented team the whole year. And maybe Kyle fields enough

556
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: this Saturday, you know, maybe the redemption is there. This

557
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: is a top twenty five pressure unit. I think about

558
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: Georgia ironically a couple of different ways here. I think

559
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: about Georgia in a sense that this Texas offensive line

560
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: got got against Georgia. Georgia had seven sacks and ten

561
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: tackles for loss. So there's that, and then there's also

562
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: Texas going on the road and having to, you know,

563
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: try and operate in what will by far be the

564
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: most hostile environment that they face all year. And I

565
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: mentioned Georgia because I also can't help but remember Georgia

566
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: just a short time ago go into Ole Miss and

567
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 2: that ole Miss group of pass rushers got after Georgia

568
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: and Kirby Smart talked afterwards about how it's really tough

569
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: to go against that group of pass rushers in this

570
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: environment where your left tackle can't hear anything.

571
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: So maybe that's how A and M flips. This game.

572
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: On paper looks good for Texas, but number one, we

573
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: know what this is worth when it comes time to

574
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: tee it up on Saturday. And number two, the way

575
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 2: things have played out is not always the way they

576
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 2: do play out. Here's the hardest part for me. Texas

577
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: is what they are defensively. They are a high level

578
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: unit as it relates to the country this year, Texas

579
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: is an elite unit. They are top fifteen against the run,

580
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: They're number one in defending explosive plays. And so if

581
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: I start to ask myself if I want to tech tech,

582
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: if I want to take Texas A and M in this,

583
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: and I start to ask myself, what do they need.

584
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: I think you.

585
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: Need twenty four plus to win it. I think you'll

586
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: have to get above that, and you can do that

587
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: however you want to. But I can't factor in. I

588
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: can't predict special team scorers, defensive scores. So I got

589
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: to assume that offensively, Marcel Reid's gonna have to get

590
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: the job done here in Texas. A and M's offense

591
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: is going to have to get the job done here.

592
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: A and M's eighty first offensively on third down. Texas

593
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: is top ten in the country defensively against third down.

594
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of stuff that has.

595
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: To be overcome. But telling you this is not a game,

596
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: I'll say it one more time. I always shake the paper.

597
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: It's not a game played on paper. If it was,

598
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: it would be undefeated picking games this year and number two,

599
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be worth watching. Emotion is such a huge

600
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: part of college football, and it will be at a premium.

601
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: You will never see an emotional outpouring just like a

602
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: guttural hatred like you will in this game when Texas

603
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 2: comes into Kyle Field Colin, let's take a look at

604
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: what the model thinks. So right now, at FanDuel, Texas

605
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: is minus five and a half. Our model pretty much

606
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: agrees we've got Texas minus six. I made some predictions

607
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: about Texas in the preseason that I'm way too deep.

608
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: Into back off of now.

609
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: But man, I think this could be a dogfight because

610
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: I do think the staying power is there. Like I

611
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: think about A and M on the road last week.

612
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: I think about a lot of these SEC teams on

613
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: the road last week, and to me, if everything's still

614
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: in play for you, the only thing that's changed here

615
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: is you get to be the home team now and

616
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: they got to come in. We were building and I

617
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: don't really care what happened last week. Last week matters

618
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: nothing to me as it relates to this game. So

619
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: A and M absolutely has what it takes to win

620
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: this thing. Texas is my pick for a reason. I

621
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: am sticking with Texas. I think their best football is

622
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: still in front of them. They need to find it

623
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: this week. I am going to take Texas to win.

624
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: I don't like the points. I think they're one or

625
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: two too many there. I disagree with the model, so

626
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: I think it's going to thread the needle. I think

627
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: it's a very very close game. In the fourth quarter.

628
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: So anything above three, I'm actually taking Texas, A and

629
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: M plus the points, which is it's a tight rope

630
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: to walk there. I'll take Texas to win. I'll take

631
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 2: A and M to cover. Neither outcome would shock me,

632
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: but I am so happy just as an unbiased observer.

633
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 2: If you live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, you get to

634
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: see what this is all about. And I know a

635
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: lot of you have been waiting a long time to

636
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: see what I was talking about.

637
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: With this game, you will see this weekend. Let's move on.

638
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: Its rivalry week obviously, so we've got a lot of

639
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: rivalries to tell talked about. I've been at the game

640
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: the past three years. Michigan, Ohio State, Ohio State, Michigan,

641
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: whichever order you want to go in, I just list

642
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: the road team first. So to me, this year it's

643
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: Michigan versus Ohio State. It is Saturday, it is high noon,

644
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: it is on Fox, and this will be a blood

645
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: thirsty crowd in the Horseshoe, a bloodthirsty fan base. You

646
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: cannot overstate what this game has done to the Ohio

647
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: State program mentally the past three years. I've been there,

648
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: and I told this story. I'll tell it again, just

649
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: keep names out of it. Everyone talks about how important

650
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: this rivalry is and how the magnitude of it can

651
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: make or break careers and seasons, and sometimes that seems unfair,

652
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 2: but it's also that's the way that rivalry football is

653
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: supposed to work. So it's both unfortunate and beautiful, depending

654
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: on which side of it you're in. Ryan Day earlier

655
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: this week talked about how he said this now, next

656
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: to losing his father, the outcome of this game has

657
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: been as devastating in his life as pretty much anything

658
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: else has been. And if you don't know college football

659
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: and you don't know this rivalry, you look at that

660
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: and you say, boy, his man, that's all out of whack.

661
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: His priorities are out of whack. Well not if you're

662
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: the head coach at Ohio State.

663
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: It's not. It's not for everyone. That doesn't make sense

664
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: to you.

665
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: You're probably not cut out to be part of this rivalry.

666
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: But the story I was going to tell you was

667
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, last time this game was

668
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: played in Columbus, I was there. I thought Ohio State

669
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: would win the game because it was the year after

670
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: the Big snow Globe game up at Michigan, and that

671
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: was when Michigan had just won the first one. We

672
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: didn't know it was going to be the first of

673
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: three consecutive at least, And so the next year, Ohio

674
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: State's favored looked like it was going to be bad

675
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: weather earlier in the week, and then morning of the

676
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: sky's clear and it's like fifty degrees at kickoff, everything

677
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: leans Ohio State and then Michigan just pops explosive plays

678
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: on him. Michigan takes over in the second half they win.

679
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: I was there covering the game for CBS, and you

680
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: go to a postgame press conference.

681
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: I can't even remember which one I went to.

682
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: But after you get out of there, you walk back

683
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: down the tunnel, you go out on the field. Gelby's

684
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: standing there. He's got our cameras and live shots set up.

685
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: Take the mic in your hand, and you're doing a

686
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: live hit your on air live with CBS. So I'm

687
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: talking back and forth with the studio and like I'm

688
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: looking at the camera as I'm looking at this camera

689
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: right now, and in my peripheral vision, like you got

690
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: really bright lights in your face, so you can kind

691
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: of see behind the camera, but you can't really see

692
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 2: behind the camera because those lights kind of blind you.

693
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: So I could tell that somebody was back there in

694
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: the stands. And this is an hour after the game,

695
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: and so security has flushed the stadium out, and it

696
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: was Ohio State players that had come back out of

697
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: the locker room, seniors who were never going to play

698
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: in the rivalry again. They were never going to play

699
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: in that stadium again. And they were sitting in the

700
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: stands just like uncontrollably balling their eyes out. That's what

701
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: this one means. And it is get right time for

702
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: Ohio State because they are favored by twenty and a

703
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: half right now at FanDuel. This is one of the

704
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: fbs's worst offenses in Michigan versus one of the best

705
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 2: defenses in the country. So right off the bat, I'm

706
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: trying to figure out could the upset happen here? And

707
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 2: sure it's a rivalry game, so anything could happen. But

708
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: if it is to happen, I mean, I gotta get

709
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: what from Michigan.

710
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: You play your best defensive football.

711
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: I'm still having to get probably twenty plus points to

712
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: feel comfortable that I can win this game. And man,

713
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: I guess you got to have really good field position.

714
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: Special teams have to come through. Obviously, defensive turnovers, defensive scoring,

715
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: that would be great. You've probably got to get some

716
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 2: explosive runs from Khalil Mullins the tailback. And I say

717
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 2: that very intentionally because I don't think they'll sustain drives

718
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: against Ohio State.

719
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: Kind of like the game two years ago here Now.

720
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: They were not nearly as offensively challenged then as they

721
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: are now, but remember how that worked. They had a

722
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: ton of rushing yards, but there were a couple of

723
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 2: really really big seventy plus yard explosive plays I think

724
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: it was, and that really changed the game. So you've

725
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: got to get some kind of version of that here

726
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: to try and just cobble together twenty points, twenty four points,

727
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 2: and even then you've got to come through. You got

728
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: to shut down Ohio State. But at least that gives

729
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: you a chance. Everything is still in a state of

730
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: flux for Ohio State, not in a bad way. I

731
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 2: don't say that to mean they're discombobulating. I say that

732
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: to me, if there's anyone out there it's foolish enough

733
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: to be concerned about Ohio State maybe overlooking this a

734
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: little bit.

735
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: First off, just no full stop.

736
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 2: Secondly, even if you are concerned about that, and you're

737
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 2: concerned that they're looking ahead of the Big Ten championship game,

738
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 2: they're not.

739
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: In it yet, guys. They haven't clinched it yet.

740
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 2: Everybody's projections have them there because they assume a three

741
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: plus touchdown favorite or thereabouts will win here.

742
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: But they still got to do it.

743
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 2: So they'd be locked in if they were five and five,

744
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: but they'll be locked in, especially because there's still everything

745
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: to play for here.

746
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: They haven't locked any thing up yet.

747
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: Do you let their defensive line handle you one of

748
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 2: the areas Michigan could throw this thing into a blender

749
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: if they did, would be maybe with those offensive line injuries.

750
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: It gets exposed a week later. Indiana did not expose it.

751
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: If it's there to be exposed, maybe Michigan exposes it.

752
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: Maybe that's how they crash the interior. And who knows

753
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: anything can happen when you throw the timing and rhythm

754
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: of an offense off.

755
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: Anything can happen. Now.

756
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly's one of the best in the country, so

757
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 2: I don't expect him to call a game that allows

758
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: that to happen.

759
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: But if you're that good defensively, then.

760
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 2: You can make people's game plans go sideways pretty quickly.

761
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 2: You better because you are not, in all likelihoods shutting

762
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: down their passing game. Michigan is very average against the

763
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 2: pass this year, and that's even if they're healthy, and

764
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: they may not be totally healthy in their secondary they

765
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: don't have an elite pressure rate. But again, a one

766
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: off situation where maybe you crash, you get pressure inside

767
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: that could lead to any of a number of results.

768
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: Got a lot of people watching the show. By the way,

Speaker 2: helps us. Colston Lovelin's questionable in this game. Michigan's leading

775
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 2: receiver by ten miles, and there's not a close second there.

776
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: He's questionable in this game. Whether he goes or not.

777
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 2: I assume that he will if he can walk, you know,

778
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: if he can put together coherent sentences, he will go

779
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: in this game. But it just has splattering alert all

780
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: over it. Colin, go ahead and show the folks what

781
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 2: the line is. We've got FanDuel hanging Ohio State minus

782
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: twenty and a half. Our model's got Ohio State minus

783
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: twenty one. I've just seen this play out too many times.

784
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't think there is a number high enough where

785
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't take Ohio State.

786
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: But this one's not high enough.

787
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 2: So you give me Ohio State to win, You give

788
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: me Ohio State to cover. There is no letting up,

789
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 2: there is no taking the foot off the gas. I mean,

790
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: if Ryan Day was willing to drive the dagger into

791
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,959
Speaker 2: Kurt Signitti's neck last week, imagine what he'd be willing

792
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 2: to do if he gets the opportunity against Sharon Moore

793
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: in Michigan.

794
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 1: And I think you will.

795
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 2: So it's been a fun three years from Michigan, and

796
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: it could be a fun upcoming three years from Michigan

797
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: given the Kurt trajectory of recruiting. But as for twenty

798
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: twenty four, it's Ohio State's here. They win, and I

799
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: think they cover in the process. I've got good news

800
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 2: for us all right now. When we started the show

801
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 2: a long time ago, remember I told you, I'm just

802
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 2: in it low key to get us as much free

803
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: stuff as we can. So I've gotten us a lot

804
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 2: of free stuff. It pales in comparison to where I

805
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: think we can go. I won't rest until everyone who

806
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: watches this show gets something free. And I don't mean

807
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: a T shirt from paytstatemaateial dot com, although that is

808
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: a desk nation this time of year. No, I mean

809
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 2: just free stuff in your pocket. So you know I've

810
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: been hanging out with Zvia. You know we've been dating,

811
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: so to speak. We've been quietly hanging out as any

812
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: of a number of professional athletes have been rumored to

813
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 2: have done with Sidney Swingy.

814
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: It's never true, but it circulates on the internet. Right.

815
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 2: Well, we have been publicly hanging out with Zvia. I

816
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: asked for zero sugar soda and they delivered it, and

817
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: so a couple of things. You need to know this.

818
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 2: I'm going to open one and drink it as I talk.

819
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: By the way, it's now available nationwide at Walmart.

820
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: You go wherever you want to.

821
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: But I'm just telling you it's available nationwide at Walmart,

822
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: and I need you to pay attention.

823
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: The cream soda is legit.

824
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: Right now. It's like starting this moment, I've got some

825
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: free stuff. So if you head over to your local Walmart,

826
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: most of you will this time of year, just grab some.

827
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: Zvia, head out of the parking lot.

828
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: What you've already been doing, ZVA has been paying attention,

829
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 2: so they're just asking me to remind you to keep

830
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: doing this. A lot of you have been snapping pictures

831
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: in the parking lot of the store that you bought

832
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: it in. Well, if you're doing it at Walmart, you

833
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: might want to feature that Walmart signage. You might want

834
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 2: to make it obvious you're at a Walmart. Put that

835
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 2: little hashtag zvia pate state in it as you tag yourself,

836
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: because not only might you get just the garden variety

837
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 2: like or retweet.

838
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: Anybody could do that.

839
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 2: No, I'm getting twenty two of you a one hundred

840
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 2: dollars Walmart gift card, and I'm going to get three

841
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 2: of you what we would call a grand prize, I guess,

842
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: Jesse and Colin. And that is not only the one

843
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: hundred dollars Walmart gift card. I'm getting you a pack

844
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: of my personal favorite, which is the cream soda. But

845
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 2: if that's not enough, also a chalice of supremacy, which

846
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 2: you cannot buy. You can buy ZeVA, you cannot buy

847
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: a chalice of supremacy. And three of you, you're grand

848
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: prize winners. You're gonna get that. So it's easy. Just

849
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 2: do what you've already been doing, adding to Walmart, grabbing

850
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: the ZV, taking the picture, tagging me zvia payt State.

851
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: But grand prize this time of year.

852
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: And twenty five of you're gonna take coma one hundred

853
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 2: dollars gift card.

854
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: So there you go.

855
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 2: We're working on it. I'm trying to get you as

856
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 2: much free stuff as I can. I know how far

857
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars goes this time of year, trust me,

858
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: I know. And then on top of that, I mean,

859
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 2: how far would a chalice go? Imagine regifting a chalice

860
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 2: of supremacy around Christmas, which it is your constitutional right

861
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 2: to do if you win one. All right, let's get

862
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: back to the show. Here, a lot of rivalry games

863
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: to talk about. South Carolina at Clemson. You don't have

864
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: to wait for it. It's kicking off high noon Eastern time.

865
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 2: They're twelve o'clock on ESPN. This one is at Clemson.

866
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: And last time South Carolina was there, I was surprised

867
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: by the result. They won it and it kind of

868
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: made everyone go, wait, they did what now? And then

869
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: last year Clemson won a slugfest. So this year it's

870
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: back at Clemson. There's no way this game fails to deliver.

871
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: I am predicting minimum of three and a half Chali

872
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: rating out of five on this game. That's the over

873
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: under three and a half TILI. It's extremely high over under.

874
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 2: Which way are these programs trending? That's not always an

875
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: indicator of how game's gonna go, But humor me, if

876
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 2: you're listening right now or watching right now, which way

877
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 2: does it feel like these programs are trending? I think

878
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 2: most people would say it feels like Clemson's trending down

879
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: in South Carolina's trending up.

880
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: Now, what is momentum worth to you?

881
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,959
Speaker 2: Because to me, momentum lasts as long as the next

882
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: game you play, especially when you're playing each other, and

883
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: it doubly especially when it's an in state rivalry and

884
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 2: you're playing each other.

885
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: So Clemson's got everything they need here.

886
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 2: They're a short two and a half point favorite, they're

887
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 2: at home, and they're both still in the running.

888
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: Do you understand what the ramifications are here? They're both

889
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 1: in the running for a playoff spot.

890
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: Clemson has faced two teams that I have in my

891
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,479
Speaker 2: JP poll top thirty. Not the end all be all,

892
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 2: just broad strokes purposes. I'm trying to tell you the

893
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 2: quality of team that they've played. They've played two teams

894
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 2: that I have in my personal top thirty. That's Georgia

895
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 2: and Louisville. I think we remember how those two games went.

896
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: They got blasted by Georgia. They kind of got blasted

897
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: by Louisville as well. They've played eight FBS teams outside

898
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 2: of the top eighty or fifty, Yeah, it's fifty.

899
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: Sounds more right.

900
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 2: They've outscored them three point thirty nine to one sixty one.

901
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 2: So basically, what we're asking here is is Clemson legitimate?

902
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: Like there's no in between. Are they legitimate or are

903
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: they a team that can get fat on inferior competition?

904
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: But they have real scaling issues.

905
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: Scaling meaning, of course, when you face legitimate competition, that

906
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: stat profile does not carry over proportionally. I always love

907
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: to take phraseology from our buddies at College Football.

908
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: Nerds scaling, How do they scale. I love it.

909
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: I give them full permission to steal from me. Most

910
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: of the time, it's just just coirky anecdotes that they

911
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: steal from me. South Carolina, if they stick to their

912
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: script here, they're good. Now that's easier said than done,

913
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: but they are a top thirty explosive play group offensively,

914
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: and Clemson's defense ninety fourth in the country and explosive

915
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: plays allowed. You can get them on the ground through

916
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 2: the area you can get Clemson. South Carolina had turnover

917
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 2: issues earlier in the season, but in this recent stretch

918
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: of consecutive wins they've had, they're plus three turnovers in

919
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: their last five games. Clemson's defense, they thrive off of

920
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 2: creating turnovers, getting positive field position off turnovers, and if

921
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 2: you take that from them, that's a vital element of

922
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: their team profile that you've taken from them. So again,

923
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: that's the script. That's what South Carolina has been. Will

924
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: they be that here? I think kay Klebnick, the Clemson quarterback,

925
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: is the most important player in this game. If he

926
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: is the padlock stat if you tell me how his

927
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 2: day is gonna go, I think I can tell you how.

928
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: This game is gonna go.

929
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: The splits for him relative to competition are pretty significant.

930
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 2: It mirrors what Clemson as a team is. He's been

931
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: very good at home and especially against inferior competition, and

932
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 2: then when the competition level ramps up, not so much.

933
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 2: And I have got him at home, but I've got

934
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 2: him against the best pass rush I think he'll see

935
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: all year. South Carolina's eighth in the country in pressure rate,

936
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 2: Clemson sixty ninth in pressure rate allowed. Kate Klebne it's

937
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: got to have the best game of his season here,

938
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 2: this big, open ended question mark sort of thing.

939
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he won't. I'm saying will he like

940
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: he needs to.

941
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 2: Clemson has allowed nine sacks in their last two games

942
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 2: against Power four teams. So that's how you wreck the

943
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: game if you're South Carolina. Let's take a look at

944
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 2: what the model thinks. The number right now at FanDuel

945
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: is Clemson minus two and a half. Model largely agrees

946
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 2: we got Clemson minus three. I think that the model

947
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 2: has been wrong on Clemson most of the year. It

948
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: took me until later in the season to realize it,

949
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: but it was a little too I think it was

950
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: right on Miami. I think it's been too high on Clemson.

951
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 2: I still think it's a little too high on Clemson.

952
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 2: I just think it's having trouble ingesting that stat profile

953
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 2: because there's such a difference in scaling. Like I said,

954
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 2: all of their hay has been made against inferior teams,

955
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 2: and the two shots they've gotten against teams more the

956
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 2: caliber of South Carolina, they haven't done anything. I mean,

957
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: in fact, they've had things done to them. I think

958
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 2: South Carolina's going to win the game out right now.

959
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: Who knows. Maybe if it was a night game, I

960
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: feel differently.

961
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: I think South Carolina's going to go in there and

962
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 2: get the whim and it's gonna be really, really big

963
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 2: for both programs.

964
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: It will be either way. I don't know.

965
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: I just feel good about South Carolina right now, so

966
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 2: I'll give them slight edge. They're watching us. I'll tell

967
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: you where they're watching us. They're watching us in Livingston, Alabama.

968
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: I think that's where West Alabama is, University of They're

969
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: watching us in Bozeman, Montana, Paradise, Arizona. Who knows where

970
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 2: else they're watching us tonight. But I appreciate you guys.

971
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 2: I've got breaking news here. The latest edition of JP

972
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 2: Pole has been released here. It is right here. The

973
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: JP Pole is not the playoff rankings. The JP Pole

974
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 2: is not the AP Pole. The JP Pole is not

975
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: really even a pole. But I'm not changing the name

976
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 2: because it's really catchy and it sounds good.

977
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: The Jppole's just power rating.

978
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 2: We take this model here, and we asked the model

979
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: to do the same thing that FanDuel would do, and

980
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: that is stack teams based on neutral field favorability. And

981
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: it means nothing more than that you're gonna find in

982
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 2: the top twenty. I have a couple of teams that

983
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: are barely above five hundred, but it doesn't matter because

984
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: the model would favor them against a bunch of teams

985
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 2: below them.

986
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: This is supposed to.

987
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: Be nothing more than a reference tool. It's not meant

988
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 2: to project on anything other than project who would be

989
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 2: favored against two.

990
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: So let's go.

991
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 2: Number one through five. We got the same number one

992
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: team we had last week, Ohio State. The model would

993
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 2: still favor against any team in the country. Oregon's number two.

994
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 2: As of now, we are projecting number one versus number

995
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 2: two in the Big Ten Championship game.

996
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: So there you go.

997
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,959
Speaker 2: On that Georgia is number three, Texas is number four,

998
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 2: Notre Dame is number five, and I got a little

999
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 2: added just bonus nugget here for you.

1000
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: Who I can't.

1001
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 2: Believe this there is as According to the model, there's

1002
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 2: only a five point seven to five point gap between

1003
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 2: number one and number five. So what that means is

1004
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: if Ohio State played Notre Dame tomorrow in who knows,

1005
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 2: Kansas City, whatever, Ohio State, according to the model, would

1006
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 2: be a five point seven to five point favorite. So

1007
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: I think a lot of you would bet on that.

1008
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 2: That's fine, but that's what the model thinks. Penn State

1009
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 2: is number six, They're up two spots. Ole Miss is

1010
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 2: down to seven. Now this is the first part where

1011
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 2: I have to stop and remind you this is not

1012
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 2: a ranking. Ole Miss is not in my top ten

1013
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 2: if I'm on the playoff committee. But ole Miss still

1014
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 2: in terms of neutral field favorability, is not going to

1015
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 2: rop all that much. If we had them all the

1016
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 2: way up inside the top five last week and they

1017
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 2: lost because of turnover, they lost because of lack of

1018
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: red zone execution.

1019
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: This is not excuse making.

1020
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 2: It's saying that those are not predictive elements in other words,

1021
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 2: if we play the game again, those aren't things that

1022
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: are disproportionately likely to happen again. So I always have

1023
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: to qualify this because I'm just envisioning the comment section.

1024
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 2: There's the people who run their mouth the most about this,

1025
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: never listen to the explanation anyway, So why do I

1026
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 2: waste my time?

1027
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: Good question.

1028
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 2: Let's move on Alabama's number eight. I think Alabama's a

1029
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 2: little bit too high. Honestly, I think the model is

1030
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 2: still a little too high on Alabama because I think

1031
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: the talent profile that's baked in for that team still

1032
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: has it slightly higher than they should be.

1033
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: Tennessee's number nine, Clemson is number ten.

1034
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: Okay, now that's the team that I think is overrated

1035
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 2: according to the model.

1036
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: Bama and Clemson.

1037
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: I think both are higher than they should be, but

1038
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 2: understand why they're there. So again, models telling you it

1039
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: would favor Clemson against any team in the ACC Miami

1040
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 2: and SMU, they would favorite favorite clemsoning against both of

1041
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: them if they played on a neutral field.

1042
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: As of now, it.

1043
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 2: Doesn't look like Clemson will get that opportunity. That's up

1044
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 2: to the number eleven. Team Number eleven is Miami, number

1045
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,479
Speaker 2: twelve of South Carolina. I said it's up to number

1046
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 2: eleven because if Miami loses to Syracuse, then we may

1047
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 2: see Clemson in the ACC Championship game. South Carolina is

1048
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 2: at number twelve, SMUs at thirteen, Indiana's at fourteen.

1049
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: Think about that.

1050
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 2: Not only are SMU and Indiana ranked high, but there

1051
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 2: are a lot of teams. BYU has been a perfect

1052
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: example of a team that's been ranked high, but we

1053
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 2: never had Empower rated high. But there's a lot of

1054
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: meat on the bone with SMU in Indiana. Even after

1055
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: they lost a game, we didn't drop Indiana that far.

1056
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 2: We dropped them to fourteen. Just remarkable that those teams

1057
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: could be that high time.

1058
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: Tulane's fifteen.

1059
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 2: Tulane I would favor by seven against Boise State if

1060
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: they played neutral field. Right now, Tulane is definitively the

1061
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 2: best G five team in the country, but they may

1062
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 2: not get the G five nod. They gotta win, They

1063
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,919
Speaker 2: gotta beat Memphis, they gotta win the AAC Championship game.

1064
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 2: If they do that, I'm telling you, if I'm a

1065
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: committee member, that'd be my G five team. But it

1066
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 2: looks like boise would be the g five team. As

1067
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: of now, if they win out Iowa State, I've got

1068
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 2: a sixteen, and even though they're down two spots, we

1069
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 2: would have them as the best team in the Big

1070
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 2: twelve right now on paper, like neutral field stuff like that.

1071
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 2: A and M's at seventeen. Florida is now a top

1072
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 2: twenty team. According to the model, Florida is six and five.

1073
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 2: USC is nineteenth. They're six and five, and yet in

1074
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 2: terms of neutral field favorability just power rating stuff, they're

1075
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 2: both top twenty teams.

1076
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: You know as well as I do.

1077
00:51:55,239 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: When we release this graphic on social everyone will zoom

1078
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 2: in on Florida and USC. And the thing about it

1079
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 2: is they've been zooming in on Florida for two weeks,

1080
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 2: laughing at the fact we had him top twenty five,

1081
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: and then Florida has beaten LSU and Ole Miss consecutively.

1082
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 2: No one's come back to say they apologize like Florida.

1083
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,919
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone's been noticing this, Jesse and Colin,

1084
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 2: have you heard anyone apologize? Florida's done nothing but validate

1085
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 2: their existence in the top twenty five of a power rating,

1086
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 2: and everyone just laughs at it. On Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday,

1087
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 2: and no one says a peep on Saturday night.

1088
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: Shocker.

1089
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 2: Let's see what else we got here. Arizona State's at twenty.

1090
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 2: I want to go back to usc. USC There is

1091
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 2: a wild stat that we uncovered today when we were

1092
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 2: doing show prep. Let's see if I remember it off

1093
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 2: the top of my head. So there are what is it, Jesse,

1094
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 2: six teams total, right, that have led in the fourth

1095
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 2: quarter of every game they've played this year. So out

1096
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 2: of all of FBS, there are six teams that have

1097
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 2: led in the fourth quarter every game they've played. USC

1098
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 2: is one of those six teams. USC has five losses.

1099
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 2: The other five combined have five losses. That is meant

1100
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 2: to tell you nothing more than USC is on paper,

1101
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 2: a lot better than just your garden variety five loss team.

1102
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 2: They are a five loss team. That's what should matter,

1103
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 2: and in the rankings it does. In power ratings, it

1104
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 2: does not. In power ratings, it just means you got

1105
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 2: an extremely underrated team. As it relates to a predictive

1106
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 2: like future facing model. Louisville is at twenty one, Kansas

1107
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 2: is at twenty two. We had Kansas in the top

1108
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 2: twenty seven last week. I think it was, and now

1109
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 2: we got them in the number twenty two spot. Michigan

1110
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: is Michigan's crept their way back in there. Interesting, Iowa

1111
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 2: has been floating in this range all year and Baylor

1112
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 2: is unchanged. Baylor's at number twenty five. I think that's

1113
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 2: one of the low key stories of the year too.

1114
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 2: You notice how all the stories of the year are

1115
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:56,760
Speaker 2: happening in the Big twelve.

1116
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: Like so many of the.

1117
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 2: Stories of the year, we have bring them you on.

1118
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 2: We had Arizona State Colorado. Now Baylor just has gone

1119
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,760
Speaker 2: from Who's going to take Dave rand a spot?

1120
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: To No? One?

1121
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: Because Dave Randa is going to be the head coach here.

1122
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 2: What a time to be alive in the Big twelve

1123
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 2: and almost everyone is. So there's the JP pole, have

1124
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 2: fun with it, community, shameful. Notre Dame versus USC. One

1125
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: of the great rivalry games of my youth and your

1126
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 2: youth and everyone's because it's a great rivalry game every year.

1127
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 2: It's one of the quintessential uniform games in college football.

1128
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: As long as they don't where these things they wore

1129
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: against Army last week. This is the three p thirty

1130
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 2: Eastern twelve thirty local time CBS game of the Week

1131
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 2: this week. And it's a good thing that Notre Dame

1132
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 2: travels a lot, because I don't know that I trust

1133
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 2: many other teams playing in New York City one week

1134
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: in LA the next week, but that's what they're doing. Meanwhile,

1135
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 2: USC has not left the West Coast in a month.

1136
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 2: They did all their traveling earlier in the year. They

1137
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 2: hadn't left the West Coast in a while, so a

1138
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 2: little travel dynamics advantage for USC here. I'm going to

1139
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 2: read the stat again because some of you were just

1140
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 2: watching this individual video and you didn't watch the whole

1141
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: live show. There are six teams in FBS that have

1142
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 2: led every one of their games in the fourth quarter,

1143
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 2: six of them. USC is one of those six teams.

1144
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: USC is a five lost team. The other five teams

1145
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 2: combined have lost five games. It's been there for him

1146
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 2: that every single game, there's not a single game they

1147
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 2: hadn't led in the fourth quarter, which is just it's

1148
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 2: mind boggling and it's maddening. But that also means they're

1149
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 2: probably a lot more dangerous than that six and five

1150
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 2: record indicates. So the stat sheet versus reality conversation is

1151
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 2: where I'm at with Notre name on this. And by

1152
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 2: the way, if you are watching just the individual video,

1153
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 2: do us a favorite. Subscribe to the channel because we

1154
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 2: do these long form shows. This is from the long

1155
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 2: form show and we appreciate it. And it doesn't cost

1156
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 2: any thing to subscribe to the channel, and we just

1157
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: do college football all year round.

1158
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. If you do stat sheet versus reality

1159
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: is Notre Dame this good. Notre Dame's been rolling. Man.

1160
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 2: We got JP Pole's got them top five playoff committees

1161
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 2: got him way up there. The AP's got them way

1162
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 2: up there. They got a top five defense. I mean,

1163
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 2: listen to this. Points per game allowed, top five yards allowed,

1164
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 2: top five pass yards per game, explosive plays allowed, takeaways.

1165
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 2: Notre Dames defense top five in all the categories. They've

1166
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 2: played four G five teams. They've played three of the

1167
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 2: bottom six offenses in P four. They have faced one

1168
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 2: top forty passing offense that was Louisville and that was

1169
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 2: a turnover fest. And they have faced six offenses one

1170
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 2: one hundredth or worse in passyards per game. This is

1171
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 2: an age old situation that we find ourselves in college football,

1172
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: where You've got a team whose stat profile is elite,

1173
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 2: and they may be an elite team. It's hard to

1174
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 2: know based on the quality of opponent they faced. So

1175
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 2: we've got one of two possibilities here with Notre Dame,

1176
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 2: and I'm not here to suggest either one. I'm here

1177
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 2: to say they could be fraudulent. I'm here to say

1178
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 2: they could be the best team in the country. We

1179
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 2: can't fully know because they haven't played like Georgia's schedule.

1180
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 2: That's no one's fault. I'm not dismissing them, nothing like that.

1181
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if I watch Usain Bolt race kindergarteners,

1182
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 2: he is Usain Bolt, but it would be tough to

1183
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 2: know that because he's racing kindergarteners. He looks ultra impressive,

1184
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 2: but he's racing kindergarteners. Now we get to find out.

1185
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 2: Because the season's not gonna end this week. Notre Dame

1186
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 2: is going to have a lot more on their plate.

1187
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 2: But first they got to beat usc It's a big

1188
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 2: game for Lincoln riley Man, this offensive staff. Forget about

1189
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 2: leading in the fourth quarter. You got to win one

1190
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: of these things. Jordan Mayava, this is his third game

1191
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,439
Speaker 2: starting at quarterback for USC. He's got a good group

1192
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 2: of wide receivers, Woody Marks at tailback averaging a little

1193
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 2: over five and a half yards per carry. They can

1194
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: maintain balance here like they can achieve balance. It doesn't

1195
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 2: have to be statistical, but they have to achieve balance.

1196
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 2: They have to establish both facets and if they do that,

1197
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: they can have some success against against Notre Dame. They

1198
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 2: can because at that point they'd be presenting something that

1199
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 2: Notre Dame hasn't seen.

1200
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: They can't get bullied. That's what can't happen.

1201
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 2: Notre Dame cannot stone them up front, and then you're

1202
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 2: asking a guy who's barely started for you to go

1203
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 2: win the game single handedly. That can't be the spot

1204
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 2: you find yourself in. That's why I say it's such

1205
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 2: a big game for Lincoln Riley. I mean, this is

1206
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 2: a scheme game, this is a play calling game. And

1207
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley's been under a moderate too heavy amount of

1208
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 2: fire this year from that fan base about the way

1209
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,959
Speaker 2: he's managed some games and called some games. I think

1210
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 2: some of that's maybe misunderstood. Sometimes I don't really traffic

1211
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,479
Speaker 2: in it a whole lot, but it's been there. Notre

1212
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 2: Dame leads the country and takeaways defensively, So if this

1213
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 2: is a game that you can't run the ball successfully

1214
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 2: in and you ask Mayava to throw the ball forty

1215
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 2: five times, maybe he's successful. I would not count on it.

1216
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 2: This is a toughness game. They've played much better defensively

1217
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 2: at USC. Notre Dame always plays good defensively. But can

1218
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 2: USC do something different? So I was just talking about

1219
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 2: the game script there for them offensively?

1220
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: What do you make Notre Dame? Do you know?

1221
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's had the lead on just about everyone, so

1222
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 2: they've made just about everyone have to throw the ball

1223
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 2: to keep up.

1224
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: And then also they've had.

1225
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 2: The lead, so they have not been in a position

1226
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 2: where they have to ask Riley Leonard to play catch

1227
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 2: up a whole lot. Can you put them in that situation?

1228
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: I mean, USC, at their best, has played raise or

1229
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 2: tight games. What if they get up seventeen to three.

1230
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 2: You know what if they put Notre Dame in one

1231
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 2: of those situations where they got to play catch up?

1232
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 2: Just some ways that this would go differently. I've had

1233
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 2: a feeling about this game for a couple of weeks.

1234
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 2: I don't think it's being talked about nearly enough. It's

1235
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 2: USC Notre Dame, so it should be talked about anyway,

1236
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 2: but especially with the ramifications on the line. Colin, let's

1237
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 2: take a look at what the model thinks right now.

1238
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 2: FanDuel's got Notre Dame minus seven and a half. We

1239
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 2: think the numbers two fat, We've got Notre Dame minus

1240
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 2: five and a half. Friends, I think we're going to

1241
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 2: see the outright upset. This is the one that Vibe

1242
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Auburn had last week. I think USC is gonna end

1243
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: up having they find a way and it kind of

1244
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: it's a celebratory thing if you're a USC fan, but

1245
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 2: then it's in a really really like the more you

1246
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: think about it, the more angry you get sort of

1247
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: situation of Wow, I'm so glad we did this, but

1248
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 2: why did it take until the end of the year

1249
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 2: for us to do this? I don't know, but be

1250
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 2: thankful you do it. So this is future tense thinking

1251
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 2: here noted. If a USC pulls it off, I think

1252
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 2: USC is gonna win the game outright. Give me Lincoln

1253
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 2: Riley to have his play calling game of the year,

1254
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: Give me USC to have their game of the year.

1255
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 2: At that point, who knows where Notre Dame goes in

1256
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 2: the playoff rankings, but I think USC gets one done.

1257
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 2: Moving along, moving right along.

1258
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: The Iron Bowl.

1259
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 2: Is this Saturday? Anyone paying attention here? Bama welcoming in

1260
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 2: Auburn Saturday, three thirty Eastern two thirty local time. ABC

1261
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: has the game. You know, Alabama versus Georgia really happened.

1262
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Alabama versus LSU really happened. That's the good news. The

1263
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 2: bad news is Alabama versus Vandy happened. Alabama versus Tennessee happened.

1264
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 2: Alabama versus Oklahoma happened. BiPOL Obama BPB. Which one do

1265
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 2: we get? I would almost say it's it's not a

1266
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 2: waste of time to try and predict these games, because

1267
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 2: you want to be one step ahead, like you want

1268
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 2: to see around the corner. That's what we're trying to

1269
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 2: do here. But man, once these games kick off, I've

1270
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 2: got my pick, just like everyone else. But I kind

1271
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 2: of sit there and just go, oh, here we go. Already,

1272
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 2: someone's gonna be really right or really wrong. Auburn's best

1273
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 2: game was always there, by the way. Last week they

1274
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 2: beat Texas A and M. They did not finish my turnovers,

1275
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 2: Peyton Thorn over three hundred yards, Jarquez Hunter went off,

1276
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 2: cam Coleman went off, KeAndre Lamber Smith went off.

1277
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Everything that we've known.

1278
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 2: Was there offensively showed up and they didn't shoot themselves

1279
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 2: in the foot. And what they do? They got to

1280
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 2: win over a highly ranked opponent at home. They could

1281
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 2: do it again. Tuscaloosa hadn't been easy on them, but

1282
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 2: you know what, Nick Saban wasn't easy on anyone.

1283
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: He's not there anymore.

1284
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 2: This Alabama team hasn't looked vintage this year, so what

1285
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 2: better time to go in there and get your first

1286
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 2: win in a long time in Tuscaloosa. Auburn's offense last week,

1287
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 2: that's what it should have been for a long time.

1288
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 2: So can they package that up and take it on

1289
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 2: the road again. Does the run game do what Oklahoma

1290
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:44,959
Speaker 2: did to Alabama? I don't know necessarily that Peyton Thorn

1291
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 2: has been a focal point of that run game this year.

1292
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 2: They should run Peyton Thorn a fair amount in this game.

1293
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 2: Jarquas Hunter, of course, is going to run the ball

1294
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 2: of Fairmount. I think he had twenty eight carries last week.

1295
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 2: I bet he's twenty four to twenty five plus carries

1296
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 2: this week. I think Peyton Thorne ought to run the

1297
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 2: ball a fair amount until.

1298
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Bama shows they can stop that stuff.

1299
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 2: You do it if you've got any kind of athleticism

1300
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 2: at quarterback. And Thorn is plenty good enough. He's got

1301
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 2: how many did we count? He's got fourteen games of

1302
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 2: double digit rushing attempts. He's not a statue by any

1303
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 2: stretch of the imagination back there. I think that'll be

1304
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 2: what they make Bama show they can stop. And if

1305
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 2: Bama Dutton, the game will last about two and a

1306
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: half hours and you'll get out of there by three

1307
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 2: and get home in time for a late lunch. Number two,

1308
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 2: it becomes academic at that point, cause I mean, Alabama's

1309
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 2: got to get to Thorn early because this is a

1310
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 2: turnover prone Auburn team with a ton of confidence now,

1311
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: and sometimes that's not a good combo to take on

1312
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 2: the road. But if they don't have to throw the

1313
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 2: ball a lot, then that doesn't really matter. So the

1314
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 2: first part here, and you're down a couple of big

1315
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 2: players at linebacker, if you're Alabama, is you got to

1316
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 2: get after him. But to do that, you got to

1317
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 2: earn the right to rush the passer, and to earn

1318
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 2: the right to rush the you got to stop the

1319
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 2: run on early downs and create third and six. Pluses

1320
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 2: ton of variants in this game because of that. If

1321
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 2: Bama is able to do that, there's a world where

1322
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 2: Bbama could get to the quarterback, force turnovers and they

1323
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 2: win going away. However, if they don't, and if Auburn's

1324
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 2: able to standardize this game offensively, there's a world where

1325
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 2: Auburn just wins it out right. And I know you

1326
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 2: listen to that and you say, well, that's easy to say.

1327
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 2: Anyone could say that. I know, it's a very hard

1328
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 2: game to predict. This one's a very hard game to predict.

1329
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 2: Marcel Reid last week the Texas and in quarterback two

1330
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 2: ninety seven through the air, sixty six on the ground.

1331
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 2: So what does Jalen Milrod do against Auburn? Where's his

1332
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 2: head at this week? What version of Jalen Milroe do

1333
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 2: we get this week? Because Auburn's got a pretty good

1334
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 2: run defense, it's a big day for the Alabama wide

1335
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 2: receiver room. They did him very few favors last week.

1336
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 2: There's a fair amount of blame to go around everywhere,

1337
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 2: staff and players, for the way Alabama played last week,

1338
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 2: But upon second review, it's not all Jaylen Milroe. A

1339
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 2: lot of people up there have said as much, including

1340
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 2: some of the wide receivers responsible for that. So that's

1341
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 2: in the past. The future is the Iron Bowl. You

1342
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 2: barely escaped last year with a fourth and a mile.

1343
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 2: How do you fare this year? HM, Alabama's an eight

1344
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 2: win team if they lose this eight and four for Bama.

1345
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 2: Anyone feeling that Auburn has to have this game for

1346
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 2: Bowl eligibility. So let's take a look at what the

1347
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 2: model thinks. FanDuel right now has got Bama minus eleven

1348
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 2: and a half. We're pretty much in line with that.

1349
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 2: We got Bama minus twelve. Like I said, there's a

1350
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 2: world where Bama clicks here, where they respond like they

1351
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 2: should at home, and Auburn's a little bit too loose

1352
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 2: and they turn the ball over and Alabama wins by

1353
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 2: twenty four.

1354
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Sure, there's a world where that happens.

1355
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 2: I can't count on that, and so I cannot count

1356
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 2: on Alabama getting significant mark. And because I can't count

1357
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 2: on that, I will. I think they're gonna win the game.

1358
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: I think Alabama's gonna win the game. But I've got

1359
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 2: no confidence laying double digit points here. There are too

1360
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 2: many elements Auburn could bring here. I mean, Auburn could

1361
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 2: get after Milroe and make them one dimensional and run

1362
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 2: the ball on them and just win the game out right.

1363
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,439
Speaker 1: So I am taking Auburn in the points. Alabama. They're

1364
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: the better team, they're the home team. They should win.

1365
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 2: But winning and covering, I don't know, man, I don't

1366
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 2: have enough confidence to lay those. I'm not betting the

1367
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 2: game either way, but I don't have that confidence.

1368
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Uh, reach over here for my jug of water. Right,

1369
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: quick throats a little dry?

1370
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 2: How about that, though, Colin, we've made it through the

1371
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 2: whole year without losing the voice so far. Mm hmm,

1372
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 2: it's the first year it's happened. Knock on this very

1373
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 2: very real wood we have on this set. New set,

1374
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 2: by the way, is coming together. These helmets behind me

1375
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 2: are placeholders if you're listening on podcast. We just put

1376
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 2: stuff back there so it doesn't look naked, as Mema

1377
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 2: would say. But we are way for you to design

1378
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 2: the set for us, and I already had a number

1379
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 2: of you Hit me up and ask for the studio

1380
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 2: address so you can send me all sorts of things

1381
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 2: that you think would fit here. I want the set

1382
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 2: to be something that means something to you, because I'm

1383
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 2: not good at this stuff anyway, and I want you

1384
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 2: to design it. So we're waiting. It's only been it's

1385
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 2: only been two days. Nothing's had time to get in yet.

1386
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what we end up adding

1387
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 2: to this set. I can't promise you everything you send

1388
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 2: is going to go on the set, but I promise

1389
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 2: you I don't want to design it.

1390
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, I have something on my teeth. I can't.

1391
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 2: I can't have this next segment there we go with

1392
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 2: a sunflower seed. I can't have this next segment be

1393
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 2: blown up by something on my teeth. North Carolina is

1394
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 2: fireing Mac Brown. Matt Zenitz broke that story earlier today.

1395
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 2: Everyone else sided him. But you know one pretty noteworthy

1396
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 2: person in the space that has trouble doing that, So whatever,

1397
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 2: Matt Zenit' has been really good at breaking it. If

1398
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 2: you're not following Matt Zenitz, you need to be following him.

1399
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 2: Dude is a bulldog when it comes to breaking news,

1400
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 2: and that's a name that'll be around in that space for.

1401
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: A long time.

1402
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 2: Six seasons at North Carolina was not ready to go.

1403
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 2: As recently as this week he had publicly said I

1404
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 2: don't want to go anywhere. I'm still in it, my

1405
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 2: heart's still in it. And then Bubba Cunningham, the athletic

1406
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 2: director there, made the decision that You're not going to

1407
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 2: do it here anymore. So I think this thing felt

1408
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 2: like it peaked a couple of years ago. They were

1409
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 2: the number eleven class in recruiting. In twenty twenty two.

1410
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 2: They were nine to five that year. You know, things

1411
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 2: had slipped off a little bit. Obviously, they made a

1412
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,440
Speaker 2: lot of staff changes. This past cycle. Weren't good defensively

1413
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 2: at all. Gene Chisick was out, Jeff Collins was in.

1414
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 2: They were what they were this year. So it's not

1415
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 2: the biggest shock in the world because the results weren't there.

1416
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: But I got to tell you something, I'm really emotionally

1417
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 2: tied to this one, and I didn't talk about it

1418
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 2: a lot this year. It may even be unprofessional, That's okay.

1419
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 2: I've never called myself a journalist for that reason because

1420
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 2: there's some of these guys I really like, Mac Brown,

1421
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 2: I really like so I couldn't even objectively cover Mack

1422
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 2: Brown in North Carolina. I could be critical of him, but.

1423
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be let me put it that way.

1424
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: So I got to tell you a story now that

1425
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 2: this tenure has come and gone. We went there in

1426
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 2: the spring. We went to Chapel Hill in the spring.

1427
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 2: It was my first time there, and we told Mac

1428
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 2: Brown and his people were coming. We want to do

1429
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 2: something called the Pate State Speaker Series, and it's just

1430
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 2: a sit down conversation and you saw it in the spring.

1431
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 1: We did it with a number of coaches.

1432
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 2: So you know, I had done Beamer the day before,

1433
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 2: I was going to go up to Blacksburg, and I

1434
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 2: was going to do Brent Pry and Virginia Tech the

1435
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 2: next day, so it made sense to go to North Carolina.

1436
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 2: They were right there in between. We'd never been there before.

1437
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 2: If we can make it happen, Yeah, okay, let's make

1438
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 2: it happen. Mack Brown had been a head coach thirty

1439
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 2: six years. Guy's probably done thousands and thousands of sit

1440
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 2: downs and interviews and had thousands of media interactions.

1441
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: He had never to talk to me before in his life.

1442
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 2: I got to tell you it was a pretty transformative

1443
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 2: experience to be there that day. I took a couple

1444
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 2: of members of my crew there and mack Brown had

1445
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 2: all the time in the world for us. And mac Brown,

1446
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 2: when you meet him, it's so obvious how authentic he is,

1447
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 2: how genuine he is. It's so obvious why you've never

1448
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 2: met anyone who speaks ill of him. And I just

1449
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 2: want to talk about the person for a second. You

1450
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 2: get judged in this business based on results. That's fair.

1451
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 2: He'd be the first one to tell you that's fair.

1452
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 2: He would defend his stance vigorously, but he would tell

1453
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 2: you that's fair. But the way we left there that

1454
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 2: day feeling like we had known him four thirty six years,

1455
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 2: was really amazing. I have a lot of interactions with

1456
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 2: these guys, and they're all good to us. Mac Brown

1457
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 2: was good to us in a way that your grandfather

1458
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 2: is good to you. Mac Brown was good to us

1459
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 2: in a way above and beyond how anyone should feel

1460
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 2: the need to be good to us.

1461
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 1: Didn't need to be that way.

1462
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 2: It could have been just a little ex Sells spreadsheet

1463
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 2: box that he had to check off on his schedule

1464
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 2: that day. But just the wisdom, the applied knowledge, that's

1465
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 2: what wisdom is of lessons he had learned through his career,

1466
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 2: a lot of advice, just brilliant perspective on everything from

1467
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:23,719
Speaker 2: rule making and the inconsistency behind that in some cases,

1468
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 2: to the shifts in the world of revenue sharing and NIL.

1469
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 2: How you develop players, how you recruit players, how you

1470
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 2: sell your program and your vision to them, how you

1471
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 2: handle staffing, how you fire someone on your staff when

1472
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 2: it's time to how you maintain a standard, how you

1473
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 2: reflect the standard that you want brought out from the

1474
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 2: rest of your organization. Just so much stuff that you're

1475
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 2: sitting there, you call yourself interviewing someone, But the best

1476
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 2: thing you can do is just keep your mouth shut

1477
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 2: because the guy doesn't need questions, he doesn't need to

1478
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 2: be tied up, and so he's just going and going, going.

1479
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 2: I swear to you could have stayed there another five

1480
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,679
Speaker 2: hours if we wanted to. He had just come off

1481
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: an ACC coaches meeting that probably got a little contentious

1482
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 2: from what I could tell, and so he was ready

1483
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 2: to go. And I will never forget that one of

1484
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 2: our producers. She's not with us anymore. I mean she's

1485
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 2: still alive, she's just doing something else. Now she's there

1486
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 2: in the room behind the camera and I saw her

1487
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 2: tear up like three or four times. I mean, mac

1488
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 2: Brown really connected, really connected, And I mean I would

1489
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 2: love if he got himself back into media again.

1490
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what he plans on doing. I have

1491
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 1: not talked to him today.

1492
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 2: I've stayed in contact with him since then, but I've

1493
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 2: not talked to him today.

1494
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 1: Not the time for it.

1495
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 2: But I hope he gets back in media, I really do,

1496
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 2: because that guy's got a lot more left to give

1497
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 2: to the game of football to me, and he's he's

1498
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 2: leaving that program better.

1499
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 1: The results.

1500
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 2: You can say they weren't good enough, and I won't

1501
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 2: fight you on that, But what I always care about

1502
01:12:57,960 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 2: is did you leave the place better than.

1503
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: You got it? By any discernible metric.

1504
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 2: North Carolina football is in a better place than before

1505
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 2: mac Brown got there. That's a testament to him. That's

1506
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,320
Speaker 2: credit to him. But I'll tell you what else that means.

1507
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 2: That means someone's walking into a really good situation. And

1508
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 2: I texted back and forth with a few coaches today,

1509
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 2: a couple of them who could be up for this job,

1510
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 2: many more of them who are totally set where they're at,

1511
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 2: and they already have better jobs than North Carolina. You

1512
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 2: would not believe how highly thought of the North Carolina

1513
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 2: job is. Do folks think North Carolina is like this

1514
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 2: low key sleeping giant. And you can disagree with that

1515
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 2: if you want to, that's fine. I am not even

1516
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 2: giving you my opinion, although I do agree with that,

1517
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 2: But I'm not giving you my opinion. I'm giving you

1518
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 2: the opinion of people who are head coaches. I don't

1519
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: talk to like seven or eight of them today about this,

1520
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 2: and they all pointed out that Arizona and the Carolinas

1521
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,799
Speaker 2: are two of the most underrated recruiting hot beds in America.

1522
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 2: It's been that way for a long time. We are

1523
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 2: entering the world of revenue sharing, where even if you

1524
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 2: can't fully get your boosters on board with like being

1525
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 2: all in for football, it still will matter. But to

1526
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 2: a certain degree it doesn't matter as much because you're

1527
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 2: still going to have a lot of money to pay guys.

1528
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 2: You're in a great place to live. Coaching staffs love

1529
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 2: it there. Some of them keep their homes there even

1530
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 2: if they go elsewhere. But think about this part. You

1531
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 2: can make really good money there. You can recruit really

1532
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 2: good athletes there. It's a world class education that you're selling.

1533
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 2: You're in still one of the premier conferences in college football,

1534
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 2: and who knows what the future holds with realignment, but

1535
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 2: even as of now, you're in a really good place.

1536
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 2: But think about the expectation level. This is kind of

1537
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 2: what you would say about Mark Stoops, a Kentucky Mark

1538
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 2: Stoops has been there forever. He's made himself a ton

1539
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 2: of money, win seven games a year, and they think

1540
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 2: about you like you're the greatest thing since slices spread.

1541
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 2: At North Carolina, I would say the expectation level would

1542
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 2: be like a little bit higher than that. But no

1543
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 2: one is demanding national championships from you when you come

1544
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 2: in there. If you win one, that's and then rename

1545
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:05,720
Speaker 2: the city after you. But it's the resource pool, the

1546
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 2: salary pool for assistance that ties geographically to recruiting the institution,

1547
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 2: and then the expectation level, and those are calibrated at

1548
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 2: such a level, respectively, that it's very attractive for a

1549
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 2: lot of head coaches. Dan Mullen's name, I think will

1550
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 2: be tied to this. There's been a pretty widely held

1551
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 2: belief in the industry that Dan Mullen has looked at

1552
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 2: this job and has has thought it to be interesting.

1553
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 2: Now that may get shot down tonight. He may say

1554
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 2: no no interest tonight, because I'm not telling you at

1555
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 2: some guarantee. I'm saying there's probably interest there. I think

1556
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 2: there would be big interest from a Barry Odom who

1557
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 2: has done great things at UNLV, and I think John

1558
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 2: Summerl at Tulane.

1559
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Is a future superstar wherever he goes at the power level.

1560
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 2: I think Alex Golish is another name that's very high

1561
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 2: on my list. I haven't heard Goalish specifically tied to

1562
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 2: this job. The other three I kind of have, but

1563
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,879
Speaker 2: I'd look at him. I'm saying if I ran North Carolina,

1564
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 2: I'd look at all those guys.

1565
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:08,919
Speaker 1: I would.

1566
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 2: I would lean younger only because I want I want

1567
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 2: a guy there for the long term. It's not like

1568
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 2: mull and seventy years old or anything like that. But

1569
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 2: those are the names I look at. Those are the

1570
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 2: names that I think will be tied to it. And

1571
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 2: that's that's just kicking around a few rocks today. I'm

1572
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 2: sure there will be many more names that surface here.

1573
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 2: But Mac brown Man, if no one else says it

1574
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 2: to him today. He's got a place at Peyton State forever.

1575
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 2: I really really appreciated what he did for us. You

1576
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 2: spend you know, you spend so many years around some

1577
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 2: people and they don't impact your life as much as

1578
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 2: that guy impacted mine being around him three hours one

1579
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:49,640
Speaker 2: afternoon in the spring in Chapel Hill. So salute to

1580
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 2: Mac Brown. If this is it, what a career. It's

1581
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 2: been nearly four decades, just head coaching experience and a

1582
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 2: national championship winner.

1583
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: And now what do we have.

1584
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 2: We've got Dabbo and Kirby as the only active head

1585
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 2: coaches whoever won a national title.

1586
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: But yet if you haven't won one, people will ask

1587

Speaker 1: I care about best bets.

1607
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,600
Speaker 2: That's why I'm adding one, two, three games on the

1608
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 2: Rama Noodle Express four. I'm actually adding four tonight. So

1609
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 2: we're already on Boston College minus three and a half

01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 2: on Kennesaw State plus twelve and a half against Louisiana Tech.

1615
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,719

Speaker 1: And a half at FanDuel.

1618
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:39,559

01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:42,920

01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,799
Speaker 2: few more games to get to here. In the interest

1641
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 2: of you know the fact that this is our last

1642
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 2: show of the week, a lot of upset alerts, big

1643
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 2: time upset alerts on the radar this weekend. The way

1644
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 2: we like to do it around here is I put

1645
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 2: a concern rating on the upset alert meter like that.

1646
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 2: Just because I have mentioned this game doesn't mean I'm

1647
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 2: picking the upset. I'm just kind of letting you know

1648
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 2: how concerned I am about it. So, for example, Georgia

1649
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:15,759
Speaker 2: Tech plays Georgia Friday in Athens.

1650
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: This is a Friday game.

1651
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 2: It's very atypical, but it is a Friday game, seven

1652
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 2: thirty Eastern Friday night. I've got a four on this game.

1653
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 2: Upset alert concern A four. Here's why. First off, that's

1654
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 2: not a high rating. But here's why. Haines King when

1655
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 2: he starts at quarterback for Georgia Tech, they're seven and two.

1656
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 2: Georgia has already clinched the East. This game does matter

1657
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 2: because it's a rivalry game, and if Georgia loses this

1658
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 2: one They've got no margin for error next week in Atlanta,

1659
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:44,799
Speaker 2: so it does matter.

1660
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 1: But there is just the whole Brent Key in a

1661
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: big game element in play.

1662
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 2: There's a slight scheduling dynamics edge and play for Georgia Tech.

1663
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: So it bears watching. I'll put a four on it.

1664
01:20:57,560 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: Not high.

1665
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 2: I'll put a four on it now this next one, Yeah,

1666
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 2: it does bear very close watching. Tennessee is a ten

1667
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite at Vanderbilt. I've got a

1668
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 2: seven on this game. It's right down the road from

1669
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 2: our studio in Nashville. Other than the South Carolina game,

1670
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 2: Vandy has either won every game they've played or they've

1671
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 2: been within one possession. So Texas didn't blow them out,

1672
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 2: LSU didn't blow them out, and now they're at home

1673
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:22,440
Speaker 2: where they beat Alabama.

1674
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 1: They played Texas close. Tennessee's coming in.

1675
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 2: They've held six straight opponents to twenty or less. Top

1676
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 2: forty run defense. Tennessee defense focused on the quarterback. Top

1677
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 2: forty run out fit.

1678
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: Here.

1679
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 2: I think I think Tennessee will be locked in. I

1680
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 2: think they will win the game. Maybe I even think

1681
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 2: they'll cover. But I've also seen Tennessee get shut out

1682
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 2: in the first half too often. I've seen Vandy hang

1683
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 2: around in games far too often this year that the

1684
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 2: paper says they have no business B and M. This

1685
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 2: is the super Bowl moment for Vandy, and I'm gonna

1686
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 2: put a seven on the upset Alert concern meter.

1687
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: They've lost three of their last four.

1688
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,560
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's a lot harder when your face in Texas

1689
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 2: at Auburn. They just went and one. South Carolina lsu like.

1690
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 2: It's hard, but you can close it out here with

1691
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 2: a win. I'm gonna put a seven on it. Washington

1692
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 2: is at Oregon. Don't think it's gonna happen. Happened twice

1693
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 2: last year, though, so I think they've got Organ's attention.

1694
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put a three on this one on the

1695
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,640
Speaker 2: upset Alert Concern Meter. Oregon's already in the Big Ten

1696
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 2: championship game, so it means a lot. Let me just

1697
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:40,719
Speaker 2: put your mind at ease. This game means a lot.

1698
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 2: Washington beat them twice last year. It doesn't matter if

1699
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 2: none of those players are there anymore. That helmet looks

1700
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 2: the same. Washington'szh to four on the road this year,

1701
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 2: and three of those losses have come by fourteen plus

1702
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 2: Organ's coming off of buye the indicators are all pointed

1703
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 2: down for Washington. So I'm gonna take Oregon to win,

1704
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 2: and I don't know if they're gonna cover. I don't

1705
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 2: have a strong feel on the spread, but Upsettler concerned.

1706
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 2: Not particularly high for me on this one. But the

1707
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 2: next game, oh boy, Miami. You know what they do

1708
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 2: this week? They go on the road to Syracuse. Now

1709
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 2: that game is indoors, that's the good news. But this

1710
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 2: is the first game of the season where cam Ward

1711
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 2: will not be the leading passer. Do you realize that

1712
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:28,160
Speaker 2: Kyle McCord, the Ohio State transfer, Kyle McCord three point

1713
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 2: fifty eight point seven yards per game passing.

1714
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: He's leading the country.

1715
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 2: Syracuse has got the number one quarterback in the country

1716
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 2: in that stat department. I'm gonna put a seven on

1717
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 2: this game. This it in some gimme. This is not

1718
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 2: a gimme at all. Miami's laying ten and a half.

1719
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,839
Speaker 2: Syracuse is top fifty in pass defense. Syracuse is fourth

1720
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 2: themselves offensively. They're fourth in passes of twenty plus yards,

1721
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 2: so they can stretch the field vertically explosively. They can

1722
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 2: limit you through the air. It's just got all the

1723
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 2: makings of a game that is very close in the fourth.

1724
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 2: I've got a seven on this one. Miami's got to

1725
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 2: have this one to go to the ACC Championship game.

1726
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:09,639
Speaker 2: It bears close watching Memphis is at Twulane. I think

1727
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 2: that game is a Thursday, and I think this Thanksgiving night.

1728
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:14,639
Speaker 2: I think TWU Lane is the best G five team

1729
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 2: out there. Memphis fourth best turnover margin in the country.

1730
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 2: That's their route here. I've got a six on the

1731
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:29,760
Speaker 2: upset Alert concern meter. Tulsa is tu Lanes competing with

1732
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 2: Boise like they need style points, so at every opportunity

1733
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 2: that they can to get margin in this game, they

1734
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 2: will get margin. Tulanes played six straight games. Memphis is

1735
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:43,440
Speaker 2: off a bye. It's a big schedule dynamic advantage for Memphis.

1736
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 2: They are playing in New Orleans. But Lane thirteen and

1737
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 2: a half. I think Tulane gets the job done. I'm

1738
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 2: gonna put a six on it because of the scheduling

1739
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 2: stuff and in the Big Twelve this week, so the

1740
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 2: Big twelve is just the whole thing could be a mess.

1741
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 2: There are still thirty one active conference title scenarios entering

1742
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 2: Week fourteen, so Kansas State's at Iowa State, Iowa State

1743
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 2: minus two and a half at FanDuel, Houston's at Brigham

1744
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,879
Speaker 2: Young Cougar's minus thirteen and a half at FanDuel, Arizona

1745
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 2: State at FanDuel eight and a half point favorite against Arizona.

1746
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,719
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State is a sixteen and a half point dog

1747
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 2: at Colorado. All those courtesy of Fanduels. So if all

1748
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 2: four favorites win, we think it'll be Iowa State Arizona

1749
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 2: State in the Big Twelve championship game. And I just

1750
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 2: want to tell you I was looking at the odds

1751
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 2: to win the Big Twelve over at FanDuel before we

1752
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 2: went on air, and Iowa State is plus two to sixty.

1753
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 2: They're not favored to win the Big Twelve right now.

1754
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 2: Arizona State is what a headline that is, By the way,

1755
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 2: to tell your July self, I am taking some action

1756
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 2: myself on Iowa State plus two sixty.

1757
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: You guys can follow me or not. There is bias here.

1758
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 2: I am an Iowa State homer because all of us

1759
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 2: who grew up in west central Georgia tend to lean

1760
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 2: Iowa State is just something in the water. But at

1761
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 2: Vandel right now, if you like Iowa State. You can

1762
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 2: plus two sixty. You can get them to win the conference.

1763
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going anyway. I'm also going home, going

1764
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 2: home because it's Thanksgiving week and I have got to

1765
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 2: head down to Georgia, the West central portion of Georgia

1766
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 2: that I haven't been in a while. You know, every

1767
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 2: time I go home, there's always some there's some stuff

1768
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 2: in the Instagram story of questionable legality. I don't want

1769
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 2: to be any more specific than that. At late Kick Josh,

1773
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,800
