It 20 00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:58.920 seems like a no. I would imagine. 21 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.159 I think I'm allowed to say whatever, right. 22 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:01.600 I don't know. 23 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.719 I've been doing that for the last couple of years 24 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:06.560 and we haven't been canceled yet, so. 25 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.879 That I feel about that, you know, I don't know 26 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.480 how I feel about saying tits McGee and I've said 27 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:13.400 it like ten times. 28 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:15.280 You sound like. 29 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.319 It doesn't see what. It doesn't seem appropriate, you know 30 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.760 what I mean? I don't know. I'll let the I've 31 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:24.920 never watched not. 32 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:26.920 Being sponsored by the golf course today, so I think 33 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.480 we can say whatever we want. That's the only time 34 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.599 we've ever been censored on the show when the country 35 00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.519 club's like, hey, please don't say fuck eighty two times 36 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.120 in the sponsored episode thank you. 37 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.239 Yeah, that was a mistake with. 38 00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.239 Jay to day since we since we got a new 39 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.799 he's out at the Las biggest country club, but he 40 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:46.640 is still a Case State fan, so he and I've 41 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.680 been going back and forth. I got a text last 42 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.680 night that Colin Klein was going to be the new 43 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.519 head football coach at Case State, and everybody. 44 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.159 Was Colin, say that again. Colin Kline is the new 45 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.239 head football coach at Case State? Yeah? Wow, okay, And 46 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.000 how'd you guys now Colin Kline is coaching where right now? 47 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.719 He's the offensive coordinator of Texas A and him good that. 48 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:09.919 I'm not going to go right into it. I'm not 49 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:11.840 going to go right into my rant about the college. 50 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.400 Don't you think that there's something wrong with the college 51 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:17.719 football playoff format. 52 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:19.919 I mean I I yes, I think there's a lot 53 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:20.479 of things wrong. 54 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.879 Did you see that? Did you see a tweet from 55 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.639 Rick Patino? No? I don't know if it was really 56 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.000 Rick Patino or if it was, but the account had 57 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.000 like nine hundred thousand followers, so it probably is Rick Patino. 58 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.280 And he just all he said was like, I don't 59 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.960 know everything about football. I'm paraphrasing. He's like, I don't 60 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.479 understand everything about football, but I'm trying to imagine a 61 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.360 world in which Saint John's is a one seed and 62 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.840 I leave Saint John's to go to some other school 63 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:52.159 before the tournament starts. 64 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.800 Well, let's back it up. 65 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.599 Do you think Lane Kiffen wanted to coach his team 66 00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.680 throughout the college football play I think the answer is. 67 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.000 Yeah, Well, of course. 68 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:04.719 That those are going to get you in the ass 69 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.639 because they're salty, right. Colin Klein has said Chris Clement 70 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.840 is going to coach the bowl game. Colin Klein is 71 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.000 going to come in after and m gets eliminated in 72 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:15.639 the first round of the College football Playoffs. 73 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.319 I think it's a lot more than than Ole Missus salty. 74 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.039 They don't want Lane kiffen in their locker room for 75 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.080 another month trying to get their players to go to 76 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.080 Baton Rouge with them. That too, it's a lot more 77 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.479 than just being butt hurt. 78 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.439 Well I would be. Let's put it this way, I'd 79 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.680 be pretty fucking butt hurt if that was my team. 80 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.120 So what the what is the goal? Exactly? Lane Kiffin 81 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.960 goes to LSU goal. 82 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:41.879 He claims his agent did all the money and he 83 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.840 said he didn't want it to be about money. Ninety 84 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:45.560 million dollars And you say you didn't want to been money. 85 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.240 I like, Lane, given I'm. 86 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.919 Not, I have to call that. I called bullshit too. 87 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.479 And if the whole point is to eventually he goes 88 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.360 to LSU, his whole goal at LSU is going to 89 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.199 be what to make it to the college a playoff? Right, 90 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.280 And now he's already there and he's walking away. 91 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.159 That was his goal when everyody said he was going 92 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:08.439 to be the head coach of Florida and then he 93 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:09.960 said he didn't like the athletic director. 94 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:14.080 So it's like that's every coach's goal, right. 95 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.879 The college football playoff is just so convoluted. They they've 96 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.639 got to do are awful, just like they are with AP. 97 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:23.560 They don't know what they're doing. 98 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.120 I pissed because I think b Yu should get in 99 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.800 over Miami, over Duke, over Virginia, and they're not. 100 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.720 Duke's not going to get in wins, they won't get in. 101 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.439 They won't get in. 102 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.839 I'm sorry, you're right, but we talked a little bit 103 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.519 about it. I've seen so much, like so much like 104 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.079 discourse about all this Miami. If they don't make it 105 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.079 in guess who they but guess who They can blame 106 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:53.519 themselves because they were playing in the worst a c C. 107 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.399 All time, the. 108 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.639 ACC Championship game on Saturday. It's not Clemson, it's not 109 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.199 Florida State, it's not Miami. It's not Virginia Tech or 110 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.759 SMU or even Pitt or Georgia Tech. It's Virginia versus Duke. 111 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.319 And we're not talking about basketball, Kelly. 112 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.959 It's Virginia about somehow Duke it magically breaks all these 113 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:14.759 tie breakers. 114 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.600 I know, And it's not seven Duke. If Miami doesn't 115 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.600 make it, Miami, Miami's got a good argument about beating 116 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.439 Notre Dame. But if they don't make it, it's because 117 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:26.959 they lost two games. 118 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.160 It's the same reason why a three lost Texas team 119 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:35.279 shouldn't get in. I'm sorry Florida and almost as the 120 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.839 Kentucky and Mississippi State in overtime, I'm sorry. 121 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.279 The only thing Texas should not get into the playoffs. 122 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.560 But what Steve Sarkushan is. 123 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.360 Saying is they should have scheduled Ohio State. 124 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.639 But because but here's the reason why he's right. The 125 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.959 SEC is so big now, it's that their schedule becomes 126 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:53.879 so unbalanced. 127 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.839 So some years you play this rule's not playing the 128 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.399 Cupcakes in November next year, but listen. 129 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.360 But you schedule it next year. But you schedule these 130 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.480 non conference games years in advance. So when you make 131 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.480 that deal to play Ohio State, you don't know is 132 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.000 that going to be the year where SEC schedules really 133 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.199 hard or is that going to be the year where 134 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.120 we have like the schedule A and M had this year. 135 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.920 And so what you're gonna do is you're not going 136 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.120 to schedule it. So I think the solution to that 137 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:22.920 is and I don't think Texas should be in the 138 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.120 playoff by the way, but I think the solution of 139 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:26.759 that is expand the playoffs. 140 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:28.920 Yes, here's my question. 141 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.720 Think of like Bill Snyder in the nineties, right, He's like, 142 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.079 we got to teach this team to these teams to 143 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.160 win before they can win meaningful games, right, So you 144 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:38.519 got to teach the teams to win. 145 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.920 So we played Northern Illinois and. 146 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.600 Just like at team, why did you go to straight 147 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.560 to Northern Illinois of all the schools. 148 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.199 Because that was the biggest as kicking in case State 149 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.600 ever had. It was seventy six to zero. So it's like, 150 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.079 if you can win those games, that's what you can 151 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:53.439 get all the kinks out of your offense. 152 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.160 You pay X team six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, 153 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:57.879 which is now double is what you pay, But back 154 00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:59.360 in the nineties, I think that's what we paid them 155 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.800 to just beat the breaks off of them. Get guys reps, 156 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.759 figure out who your first team guys are, figure who 157 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.639 your second team guys are, and get those kinks out early. 158 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.439 You're right when you played. When Texas plays Ohio State 159 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.399 Week one, there's a lot of especially now. 160 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.959 If you remember that game too, Texas could have easily 161 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.800 won that game. I think they actually outgained them there, 162 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:27.360 definitely did. Ohio State is better now than they were then, 163 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.759 and I think I think I've heard so many arguments 164 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:37.759 about this playoff on Twitter X and in person. I 165 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:39.959 think some of the conversations that I've had or I've 166 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.399 witnessed are some of the dumbest takes. 167 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.160 I've ever Give me the dumbest sake you've heard. 168 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.600 Go. I had somebody say to me it doesn't matter 169 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.759 that Notre Dame is on a ten game winning streak. 170 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.399 I and somebody say to me, it doesn't matter. I 171 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.040 want you to back that up, because, yeah, I want 172 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:57.279 to hear it. 173 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.000 No, because here we are talking about strength of schedule. 174 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:02.720 Notre Dame hasn't played anybody since they lost. 175 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.000 No. Strength of schedule is important, but being hot is 176 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.160 also important. They're all factors. All. 177 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.480 You can't just pick teams like Boston College by margin. 178 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.879 Why don't you pull up their schedule, pull up their 179 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.399 schedule and look at their results. But to think that 180 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.040 we would have a twelve team playoff and not have 181 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.279 Notre Dame in there. 182 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.759 They shouldn't get it. I'm not saying they shouldn't get it. 183 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.040 Of course they should get in. 184 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.240 So since they lost to A and M in Miami 185 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.600 earlier this season, they beat up on Perdue. They beat 186 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.639 up on Arkansas, who fired their coach. They beat up 187 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.519 on Boise State, who lost to UNLV. They beat up 188 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.799 on NC State. They had a nice win versus USC 189 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.879 which is a mid tier Big Ten team. They barely 190 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.960 squeaked by at Boston College. They beat up on Notre Dame. 191 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.120 They beat up on Pittsburgh, then at the time was 192 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.240 a top twenty five ACC team, which we now know 193 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:56.879 is garbage. 194 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.960 They beat the breaks without their starting quarterbacks. 195 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.960 So are you actually going to sit here? And this 196 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.519 is but this was the argument I was told. 197 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:12.080 Anybody is at least I could say that. I could 198 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.279 say that about Ohio State anybody. But guess what, They're undefeated. 199 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.720 Had lost the game to Texas to start the year, 200 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.240 and lost to Michigan and still. 201 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:25.639 Three losses. They wouldn't be. 202 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.080 Well if they lost three, but you said two Texas, 203 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.120 Texas lost three. Oh I don't think Texas should be in. 204 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.159 I'm just telling you. 205 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.960 That I can agree with Steve Sarkisian if you got 206 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.480 the same schedule that Notre Dame got. 207 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.639 What is the point of having a selection committee if 208 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.919 they can't look at stuff like who's the hottest team, 209 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.919 Who's the best team. Notre Dame would be favored against 210 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.960 every team in the country that is in Ohio State. 211 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.279 Did not to not have them in the playoff is 212 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.320 insane even have a playoffs. 213 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.799 Let's talk about power ratings, because power ratings sometimes I 214 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:02.080 can get a little convoluted. 215 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.919 Let me just say, let me say real quickly, it's 216 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.000 possible that Indiana might be favored against Notre Dame. They're 217 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.080 the only team other than Ohio State. Because I'm seeing 218 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.159 the way they're betting this Big Ten championship game, I will, well, 219 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.559 everybody's on Indiana this week. But I'm just saying everyone's 220 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.600 on Indiana. But I'm just saying that's the only team 221 00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:24.799 outside of Ohio State that would be possibly favored against 222 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.919 Notre Dame. So to not have them in a twelve 223 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.519 team playoff, why are we even having a playoff if 224 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.080 we're not going to put the best teams in it? 225 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:32.879 And why? 226 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:38.320 Why do you think? But that's my whole point. That's 227 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.759 my whole point. The system's all broken. I agree with you, 228 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.600 that's my whole point. Why do we even have a 229 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.960 selection committee if they're not going to sit down and say, 230 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.080 here are the twelve best teams. Let's have them plays. 231 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.159 What is their purpose? 232 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.039 Well, BYU is one of the twelve best teams, and 233 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:53.919 they're gonna get left out. 234 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:55.919 I don't think BYU would be one of the twelve 235 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:56.840 power rated teams. 236 00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.240 Not power rated, but I think they're one of the best. 237 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.440 That's that'd So let's define best. Then BYU would not 238 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:06.279 be in the top twelve of the power ratings. 239 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.039 I think ratings can be convoluted because we can sit 240 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.240 here and say, in years past, Alabama will be favored 241 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.440 by this much. At the end of the day, they 242 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.480 were favored by thirteen and a half over Florida State. 243 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.440 Yet they're not being penalized for that because it's week one. 244 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.440 That's true, I mean I I can't. 245 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.080 It's how you finish, which is in the case of 246 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:26.639 Notre Dame. 247 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.759 Well, that's how I can say. That's how it's always 248 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.159 been in college basketball. And it's not a perfect analogy, 249 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.240 but teams that go into the tournament hot are always 250 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.159 getting overseated, and I've never heard anyone complain about that. 251 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.440 In the forty years I've been following the basketball tournament. 252 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.360 No one's ever said a word about that being wrong. 253 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.759 But apparently we shouldn't do it in football. I just 254 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:46.240 don't get it. 255 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.480 Basketball tournament, you've got sixty four teams, so they don't 256 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.080 mind running in those little mid majors and those Why. 257 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.960 I'm just trying to understand why we have a committee 258 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.960 if it's supposed to be all black and white, like, oh, 259 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.159 this group of five teams in this team, and what's not. 260 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.000 Going to be black and white. 261 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.000 It's going to be TV deals and who makes the 262 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.919 most money and whose fans travel. 263 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:12.600 And it's me, I'll say this. I will say this, 264 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.559 Notre Dame who I want to see them get in, 265 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.559 and they should get in, and if you want the 266 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.159 best playoff, you have to have them in. If they 267 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.480 don't get in, they have nobody to blame with themselves 268 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:28.360 because they lost twice. And more importantly, they never joined 269 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.919 a conference. If they were in the ACC, they'd be 270 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.919 playing UVA on Saturday and Charlotte and they'd be a 271 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.639 twenty six point favorite or whatever whatever number you want 272 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.639 to attach to it, and they would destroy them and 273 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.360 they'd be in the playoff and nobody would say a word, 274 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:52.559 nobody would got an eye. But I agree, I agree that. 275 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.279 So they don't have anyone to blame but themselves if 276 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.480 they don't get in. But if Notre Dame is not 277 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.799 in this thing, this isn't really decide who the best 278 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.720 team in the country is because I think they're probably 279 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:05.759 the second best team in the country. Does that mean 280 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.559 that they beat Oregon in the Rose Bowl and not 281 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.399 necessarily obviously we play the games for a reason, But 282 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.519 I think they're probably the second best team in the country. 283 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.120 To either give me what they're favored over some of 284 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:17.600 the other top five teams. 285 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.399 Very small numbers, but they're being but they're not being 286 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.840 judged against those teams. They're being judged against Oklahoma, who 287 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.720 they'd be a big favorite against. They're being judged against 288 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:27.799 Oklahoma get in. 289 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:29.279 I don't think Miss she get in. 290 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.240 We all miss one eleven and one though, okay, so 291 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:37.440 did b YU. True, but I think I think you'd 292 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.440 agree with me that the Big twelve at going. 293 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.200 To their conference championship game, Ole Miss isn't. 294 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.080 Would you at least agree that Big Twelve is not 295 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:45.200 as good as normal this year? 296 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.440 I would say that the SEC is top heavy per usual. 297 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.480 I think that the SEC and the Big Ten are 298 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.399 pretty clearly a cut above the Big twelve this season. 299 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.480 But I do I know what you're saying. I mean, all, like, 300 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.000 let's talk about all miss thet their coaching staff, they 301 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.240 lost their coach two years ago, Florida State went undefeated, 302 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.320 they lost their quarterback. I know that's different. Yeah, and 303 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.840 they left them out in the team. They left them 304 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.879 out though, Yeah, they did. So my point is that 305 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.120 we used to have a committee that could subjectively look 306 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.720 at things and say, okay, you know what, Yeah, that 307 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:21.639 team's undefeated. 308 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.519 That Tide Committee, what how are you going to be 309 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:25.720 on this committee? I want to know. 310 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:29.039 I would imagine it's something to do with like bribing people, 311 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:36.399 very right, right, It's got to be like very shifty. No. 312 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.639 I actually think over the years of the committee did 313 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.480 a pretty good job. If you remember the very first 314 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.799 college football playoff, go all the way back to I 315 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:49.279 think this was in twenty fourteen, Florida State had won 316 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:53.480 the national championship the year before, and they were undefeated 317 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.960 going into the playoff. But did they get the one seed? 318 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:56.200 No? 319 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.039 And why is that? Because they really hadn't been playing 320 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:00.639 that well. They've been winning a a lot of games 321 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.120 really close. So even though they were the undefeated national champions. 322 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.240 They didn't get the one seed because there was a 323 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:10.279 committee of people that were looking at it rationally and going, yeah, 324 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.639 they're undefeated, but they're not the best team. So what 325 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.399 did they do? They shipped them out to the Rose 326 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.080 Bowl and they got beat by Oregon in the very 327 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.840 first college football playoff game ever. Because the committee did 328 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.360 their jobs and they actually looked at it rationally, and 329 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.159 they did a good job. I think that they got 330 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.879 it right when they didn't let Florida State in two 331 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.639 years ago. Florida State fans probably don't agree with that, 332 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:35.159 but why But what is the point of having a 333 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.840 committee if they can't go, hey, guys, I know this 334 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.399 team is this, but Notre Dame is clearly better than them. 335 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.200 How could they possibly not be in or or whoever 336 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.960 example you want to use. I just want to understand 337 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.360 what the point of the committee is. They can well 338 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.720 I've heard people say to me, oh, but that's subjective. 339 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:55.000 It's like, yeah, that is subjective. 340 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:55.960 It's subjective. 341 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.679 That's why we have a group of people to sit 342 00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.159 down and do it. Just these are events are so bad. 343 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:05.039 Yeah, but I also think that like these preseason rankings 344 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.960 that we put like eleven SEC teams in the top 345 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.919 twenty five, and only six of them end up being 346 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.000 there to finish the season, just. 347 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:13.679 Like every other conference is. 348 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:16.039 But it is funny if this. 349 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.000 Then it skews the strength of schedule right out of 350 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.919 the gate. And it's like, well, look at alabama schedule. 351 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.080 Okay, Well if. 352 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.519 Notre Dame doesn't get in, it will be because of 353 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.639 what Because five SEC teams? Did I know? 354 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.000 So he said that that's all they were going to 355 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.440 do when they expanded. The playoff is light in more 356 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:35.000 SEC teams, which is what ESPN wants. Obviously. 357 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:39.399 It was funny. I was sitting here on Saturday watching 358 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:43.320 the college games, and we really I was biased because 359 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.120 we needed we needed LSU to beat Oklahoma for the 360 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:52.200 moneyline parlas. But Oklahoma's offense couldn't do anything the entire game. 361 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.639 They couldn't even get a first down. They get the 362 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.360 ball back down four with minutes left. They've got a 363 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.639 score to get to the College Football Playoff and LSU, 364 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.119 I guess, just lost track of their receiver. There was 365 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.240 just nobody guarding him right down in the middle of 366 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:06.599 the field. 367 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.319 For a winning coach, VR said that he liked LSU 368 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.160 to win I didn't put him in my parla and I. 369 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.200 We would have loved it when they didn't win. 370 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.920 Because neither of the other two teams that I took. 371 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.039 But Oklahoma State put up a fight, so that kind 372 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:20.920 of helped me at least end the season on a 373 00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:21.400 high note. 374 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.079 Well, be I think it's I think again, it's what 375 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.240 we always talk about. Be accountable, Miami. If you don't 376 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.839 make it, it's because you lost two games and a 377 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:33.079 historically weak ACC Notre Dame. If you don't make it, 378 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.839 it's because you lost two games and because you never 379 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.279 joined a conference. It's your fault. If you don't make it, 380 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.119 it's your When else. 381 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.480 Is joining conferences in realignment, the Big Ten to ACC, 382 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.880 any of those the Big twelve, anybody would have been 383 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.640 happy to have Notre Dame in their conference. 384 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.240 But it does suck, and I know that, I know 385 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.000 our friend Todd Furman gets skewered for this on social media, 386 00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:58.640 but it does suck to think that we could have 387 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.920 a situation where, let me just give examples, North Texas 388 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.880 is in the College Football Playoff and they're like a 389 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:09.119 twenty point underdog in the first game, and their coach 390 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:09.720 but that was. 391 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.839 The whole point of expanding is five schools. 392 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.359 Right the coach is leeving to go to Oklahoma State 393 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.440 or James Madison isn't their coach going to UCLA. So 394 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.680 James Madison gets in and there they wouldn't be that 395 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.559 big of a dog, but they'd be a big dog. 396 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.160 And they're coaches leaving too, and it's like we're letting 397 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.920 them in to shut out by U. To Kelly's point, 398 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.799 if BYU loses on Saturday to Texas Tech, I don't Tech. 399 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.920 But I still think that there are the two best 400 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.279 teams in the conference and that should get into the 401 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:44.240
