Speaker 1: To Yoda presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and
Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where.
Speaker 1: The plays get broken down and science gets denied the
hour two of Off the Bench Live from the Raising
Kine Studio.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in our number two of OTB.
Here on a Tuesday morning. We've got Nick Underhill, Newance
Staff Football joining us. In our three. I believe our
guy Devin Snow is going to be joining us as well.
He wasn't able to join us on his normal Monday slot,
so we'll have a lot of Saints talk obviously in
our number three with Nick and Dev diving back into
a little college football got a new AP top twenty five.
Ohio State still a number one team in the country,
Miami still number two team in the country. Indiana all
the way up to number three in the country, including
three first place votes for the Indiana Hoosiers, a program
that has lost more college football games than anybody history
of college football.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they jump up four spots on both the Coaches
Ball and the a People from seven to three, which
is to me not surprising, And it's not surprising that
they have first first place votes either. They probably have
they probably have the best win of the year. So
I add any team.
Speaker 2: So Reese Davis joins off campus every Monday, and I
kind of said that I seem like that same question.
Is that the because to me it is he's like
the only other one that he would put up there
is A and M going to Notre Dame and winning
on the road, because Reese holds Notre Dame pretty high,
even though they've got two losses, their two losses to
Miami and A and M. At the very end, I
still think Indiana going across the country to Oregon in
their place after you know who you are, Like when
A and M beat Notre Dame, it's impressive, do not
get me wrong, But everybody's still trying to figure out
their identity. You're still jabbing a little bit because it's
so early in the season, right. I think this is
more impressive because and also, like A and M and
Notre Dame, you put the roster side by side, and
A and M is probably going to have more highly
recruited guys, like more talent on their roster. Doesn't take
away from the win. It's a hell of a win.
It's second best win in the country. You put Indiana
and Oregon's rosters next to each other. They're not distant cousins.
And they went on the road. What did the kids say,
went into your trap and took your trap. That's what
they did. Yeah, they did.
Speaker 3: And you know, I definitely agree that Indiana is the best,
the better of those wins.
Speaker 2: You know, A and.
Speaker 3: M got pretty fortunate to win that game. They won
won it like you can't take it away, but they
wonted the last last play that made a good play,
I think, a great catch in the end zone. And
if I remember correctly, this is multiple weeks. I remember,
I think it was a fourth down as well. They
were behind. Uh, Indiana went in there and just beat them.
They just were the better team in their field, the
most impressive. Okay, so maybe you can argue biggest win,
but most impressive win, the best win. Absolutely it's Indiana.
So it's not surprising to me that they are getting those.
Speaker 2: And also like, not just that win. Now, Ohio State
beat Illinois, I understand that, but Indiana beat the breaks
off of Illinois when they were a top ten team.
They beat them sixty three to ten when they were
a top ten football team. Indiana has a case to
maybe be the number one team in the country. Now
again Rick Flair, to be the man. You gotta beat
the man. So I have no problem with Ohio State
being number one, but Indiana has a strong case because
even so even Miami, and I think Miami's really good,
but even Miami. Okay, Well, Florida was one of your wins.
Florida State, that certainly doesn't look like a great win anymore.
They've lost three straight. They haven't won an ACC game
in over a year, like actually, I think it's over
four hundred and something days. They haven't won an ACC
game for Florida State. South Florida still holds up. I'll
give them credit for that win. Notre Dame still holds up.
But I'm saying like some of their wins have lost
some of their value. Yep, it's crazy to say, but
Tier one in college football is those Ohio State, Miami
and the Hoosiers. And I don't think it's like it's
not even really up for debate, like I think the
next team three and everybody else right now, I think so.
I think Texas, A and M certainly.
Speaker 4: Is is trending.
Speaker 2: I think A and M and Alabama are both trending
in Texas Tech. If Texas Tech was a different logo
and they've been winning like they have, we probably are
giving them more credit. If there was a if their
logo looked.
Speaker 3: Like a orange longhorn, they'd be one fair.
Speaker 5: Tech is my missoo, like, they are so fun to
watch this season.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, like so for me, yes, okay, when you
said that, I thought you meant like hater Rade over
here and his hate for Missouri.
Speaker 5: Okay, they're the ones that I'm kind of like. They're
so fun to watch, like their physical they're money well
spent it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I said a really funny tweet the other day that
said that Texas Tech is like a a redneck one
a billion dollars on.
Speaker 5: A scrutch off.
Speaker 7: They're in the driver's seed to win the Big twelve too,
because like IWA, State looked good.
Speaker 4: They're banged up.
Speaker 2: I mean they lost the starting corners.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're done, Texas tex Texas Tech is.
Speaker 2: Going to be in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: Yes, they're gonna win twelve.
Speaker 2: Don't sleep on BYU though I'm not, but that was
a hell of a winning against Arizona double overtime. L
J Martin's a baller running back. Black Meers wearing forty seven.
It should come with a neck role. He was playing
well as a freshman. By is the only team though
right now that's standing in front of Texas.
Speaker 5: They play November eight.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a hell of a game.
Speaker 5: Where's that game at It's at Tech. Yeah, it's in Lubbock.
Speaker 2: The Tortilla is going to be flying.
Speaker 4: That's a big one.
Speaker 2: They still do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's top twenty five, so so interesting. There's a
lot of really good little nuggets in here. Like you
talk out the undefeateds left in college football. You got
Ohio State, Miami, Indiana, Texas A and m Ole Miss
Texas Tech and we just talked about. But our guys
sitting at number twelve, Yeah they do. They have their
sights set on the college football player Georgia Tech.
Speaker 4: They so undefeated right now.
Speaker 2: And to your point, like yeah, and look, there's never nothing.
Speaker 4: Nothing that's beautiful, nothing sexy about their win. They are
just gritty winners.
Speaker 3: They feed off of their quarterback who is just a
blue collar tough ass like just plays ball plays. They
make the plays to win the game. They game plan
to win the game. Now they got a tough one.
They're playing that Duke. I play Syracuse, North Carolina State,
Austin College, Pitt and they finish, of course.
Speaker 2: With George Georgia. But imagine and Georgia are both undefeated.
Speaker 3: There is an opportunity for an in state game in
the year and a game that they should have won
a year ago. They should have won, and I hadn't.
Speaker 2: Think they lose.
Speaker 8: Before they get to Georgia.
Speaker 2: If they do at Duke's gonna be a tough one.
NC State plays better at home, but I think they're done.
Pitt is playing well, but that game's at home. You
very easily could see Georgia Tech Georgia with like conference
championship like maybe like they've already clinched type situations, playoff spots,
and you're talking about seeding and talking about an atmosphere
and Georgia Tech, which I actually do hate the fact
that they've done this. The game was supposed to be
in Bobby Dodd, their stadium, and they wanted a bigger crowd,
so they moved it to Mercedes Benz. The only problem
is it's gonna be a lot of red and black
in there and not much as your fans. So I
wish they would have count that.
Speaker 3: Like Georgia Tech's one of those teams that feeds off
that the people trump. They they want that adversity. They're
back against the wall. I love that team. So if
they win.
Speaker 7: That game, they're in. They don't have to be Miami
and the a SEC champions.
Speaker 2: Oh no, Yeah, they win that game, they're in for sure.
Haines King last week against Virginia Tech twenty of twenty four,
two thirteen, one touchdown on the ground. He had fourteen
carries for sixty yards and two more scores. He is
he's like a two dollars stak, tough as hell. I mean,
whatever you need him to do. And when he gets hit,
he takes some shots and he has some self talks
like you've never seen before. Like he can hear Mickey
in his corner telling him to get up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care how many yards he throws four
rushes for. He might throw for three hundred yards rush
for two hundred. He's getting about fifteen hundred hell yeahs
from his teammates throughout the game.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, Haynes, and hey, look, this takes a lot
for this man to talk nice about Haines King. You
know why he played high school at his rival rival.
He's a Longview Lobo v John Tyler were.
Speaker 3: Talking to that kid on the on the phone when
he was that long of you just like because he
was asking my opinion about like because he was committed
to A and M.
Speaker 2: At the time. Yeah, and he just Jimbo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so like we had some mutual connections through
my high school to his coach, who was a great
head coach at Longview High School.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're their coach went to your high school? Are
so one of.
Speaker 3: The coaches coached in my high school that was there
and put us in and he just wanted like some
give me your pen, Like tell me about Jimbo pretty much.
Speaker 2: You know that's what you're going there based on how
do you feel about mf's But look, he's going to
come back and tell you why he had to do it.
Speaker 4: Told him exactly how I felt.
Speaker 3: I told him exactly my experience, and you could tell
that his dad and him were like, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what. Yeah, we want to be called absolutely,
we want to be.
Speaker 5: He seems like the type I love to get coach.
Speaker 2: I loved being coached by Jimbo. I mean it was
it was what I read.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm not saying I didn't respond to it. Well, everybody,
you're lying if you said you like at the time.
Speaker 2: You loved it. Everybody's a little different. Yeah, everybody's a
little bit different. And that's the way that I was
kind of coach by old Joey growing up because for me,
and maybe that's why me and and Gary Crowton and
had the same relationship. Gary was never going to just
light into you and everything was gonna be okay. And
I will get that down the road. I didn't like that.
I'm much rather really it's like, like to speak ill
of that nice man. Just do you know, want me
to share my personal, you know, relationship, just trying to
give our audience.
Speaker 4: He just want a championship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and y'all had a great relationship. That's great. We
didn't like It's not like we didn't like each other.
We just didn't have as close of a relationship as
me and Jimbo had. Is that bad? No, No, not
at all. I don't know. I mean Jimbo was the
kind of guy like I got you on radio with
you in the afternoons, Jimbo. Nah, I'm good. I got Jimbo, Jimbo,
I got you, Coach, I got you's gonna get me
and you fired? All right, coach, all right? Ah, Sorry,
I didn't mean to talk bad about your dad. Gary Jeez.
I'm just saying, are you telling me that I mean
they had different styles? Oh yeah, yeah, I'm saying I
responded better to Jimbo's style and Coach Saban's style. Then
I did that.
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, Hell yeah, brother.
Speaker 2: I mean there's a fine line. I mean when I
played defense for a couple of weeks and Muschamp was
like losing his mind in that vein in the top
right corner of his skull was about to just burst.
It was like, will you can yell at me, but
I need to know what you're saying. Yep, because I
can't understand between the words that you're making up, the
cuss words you're mashing.
Speaker 3: Together, and like we need you coach. Can't pass out
here on the sideline. Gotta take a breath, Bud, got
to relax a little bit.
Speaker 2: It's like, will my guy, like this is one on
one I'm going against. Uh Me and Joe Lawrence are
here in the slot, and Joe's playing receiver. We're just
trying to drop out here.
Speaker 6: I started gushing a little bit, my gift of him
and Nick Saban losing their mind.
Speaker 3: One now, yeah, hey, can I tell you this top
twenty five. I'm like so terrified right now looking at
this thing. Why because those damn Irish are sitting at thirteen.
Speaker 2: Thirteen.
Speaker 3: You know they're going to get the benefit of thirteen
thirteen on the ape page.
Speaker 5: Because didn't they drop out or no?
Speaker 2: They don't know if they know that they were zero
and two and they were still ranked.
Speaker 5: I mean, they just had a huge win over in
C State, You got.
Speaker 2: It, that's true.
Speaker 8: Before that a minute, they have beaten.
Speaker 7: Arkansas, Boise State, and noted n C State back to
back weeks.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. They have to be ranked?
Speaker 7: Are they only thirteen back to back to back champion
of the league that'll see the and they only let
produce score thirty on them?
Speaker 2: This team, How in the world would you have Notre
Dame ahead of a one lost Oklahoma An undefeated b
y U.
Speaker 3: And I didn't want to say that because then.
Speaker 4: I know I'm with you. I did it. I said
it for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean they had a pretty hard fought game versus Bama.
Speaker 2: Man. I know if like this tells you right now,
So this tells you right now. All Notre Dame has
to do to make the college football Playoff is beat USC,
Boston College, Navy, Pitt, Syracuse, and Stanford, because those teams
ahead of them inevitably are going to.
Speaker 6: Lose enough if they lose to US.
Speaker 8: I think the only I think they're going to lose
the USC.
Speaker 2: It's their only chance. I think this Boston College is garbage.
Pitt now, to Taylor's point, Pitt is playing much better.
Navy's good, Lake Horvas is awesome. I mean the game
winner against Temple last week. They're not good enough to
beat Notre Dame.
Speaker 3: If you saw down to that, I might buy a
USC shirt and hat just for that week.
Speaker 8: I can't.
Speaker 3: I hate USC two of first they could both lose
that game, and that doesn't even compare to the hatred
for Notre Dame. Probably, you know what, Okay, you can
hate them, but I don't disrespect them like I sure
do not respect like.
Speaker 7: Like if you had if you had me ranked by
top ten, most hated Notre Dame is.
Speaker 4: Probably I don't like them and I don't respect them.
Speaker 2: Probably hated. That's tough.
Speaker 5: Hated.
Speaker 2: I know to think about that. I need I need
to think about Oh yeah, Flor's one. But hatred is
than just the lack of respect. I need to think
about my most hated outside of the Southeastern Conference. Anything
about that, I'll do it during this break. More O TV.

about our most hated college football team outside of the SEC?
Speaker 4: Need time?
Speaker 2: I know you didn't need it. You're the one that
started this, Taylor. It's Notre Dame.
Speaker 8: I'm locked up with that. It's very easy.
Speaker 4: Class USC is probably second.
Speaker 8: It's Notre Dame for me.
Speaker 2: All right, Alandra Villa outside of the SEC, Yeah, because
I mean Florida do.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 5: Most of the ones that I hate and have a
deep hate for are in the SEC. But I think
I'm gonna go Ohio State.
Speaker 2: I don't hate on they see. I prefer the buck
Eyes over.
Speaker 5: Michigan is very quickly.
Speaker 6: They said this in the chat too, but Michigan is
very quickly starting to become one that I am not
a fan of, Like, not that I ever was, but
they're starting to really irritate me, mostly because of Dave Portnoy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how annoying.
Speaker 2: Annoying?
Speaker 6: Like I hope you're like you you bragged so much
about stealing quote unquote Bryce Underwood from US.
Speaker 5: I hope you're happy with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope you're happy, right him.
Speaker 8: Thank you, don't get to Marcus Cooley and halse.
Speaker 5: With you for DBU.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you, Dave.
Speaker 8: Thanks for your service, buddy.
Speaker 2: Uh. I would say mine my months different than y'all's.
I think might be Clemson. I hate how Clemson thinks
they're like their own little thing and they can do
things their own little way and the only Yeah, they're
the only team that can do it that way. The
whole Death Valley thing, the running down the hill, running
down the getting on the bus is dumb.
Speaker 4: How many more opportunities do we have for him to
fall hurt himself?
Speaker 5: How many do.
Speaker 2: Three opportunities left?
Speaker 5: They are home this weekend.
Speaker 6: We check the injury report weekly versus s m u Oh,
they got one, two, three, four home games left, so
you got four opportunities for you to get the turnovers.
Speaker 4: Some's got to give out.
Speaker 2: Do we have those written down? Because I don't remember
I have some of them writing some of them. Adiction
was for college.
Speaker 6: You've got Kentucky will finish last in the SEC. That's
their last right now, and Gruden will be the coach
of Kentucky. A Sun Belt team is going to make
the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's still time for that.
Speaker 5: Yep. Oh, this one. The Patriots will make the playoffs.
Speaker 7: That's mere number one, number one in the division right now.
Speaker 5: I don't have that written down for you.
Speaker 2: I would never I would know. I would after after
hearing you not go to English clash, I would never
look at your notes.
Speaker 6: Matt Xavier Legette well end the season with over one
thousand yards.
Speaker 4: I think he's about twenty something, twenty plus.
Speaker 5: He's at fifty. I think twenty.
Speaker 2: Now. My my Alvin Kamara one thousand yard rusher. That's
he was on pace for a little bit. I know
he was. He's three fourteen right now.
Speaker 4: We got plenty of on for somebody to be investigated,
because that.
Speaker 2: Was one of mine. That one.
Speaker 6: You have a no, he didn't specify, Actually he did.
Coach will be investigated for Gambley in college or pros.
So the Chiefs don't make the playoffs is one of
your bold predictions.
Speaker 2: Also, I was looking good too.
Speaker 5: Matthew Golden will win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2: That's not great, great, not great. That was going to
be a big year for the receiver.
Speaker 5: You also think that you did.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you also think Gruden will be a coach of
the SEC football team. So I think you said during
the second round of college football.
Speaker 2: Okay, before the second round of college football.
Speaker 6: Player, we all but Jake had the Bills being in
the Super Bowl. Well do we have like the who
like I had Commanders versus Bills. You had Chargers, Commanders,
ta Te had Bills Packers, and matt also had Bills Packers.
Speaker 2: Okay, but although still have a chance, like none of
those teams have fallen on their face. My manner's gotta
get healthy. We really gotta.
Speaker 5: Auburn will finish last in the SEC, so we have
the bottom too.
Speaker 8: Yeah, add Saints Titans in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Still shot, still shut. I invested in that turnover chain,
and nobody's.
Speaker 5: Real close to where I still think I should have
got it. And we who was the only one that
hit this week? You should have got it too, for.
Speaker 7: Hidden being the only one, only one two weeks find
we shouldn't bind in the NFL, we were two and.
Speaker 2: Six were I picked the Lions lock in? I mean
this weekend, like we need to lock in.
Speaker 5: Having only one person hit is unaccepted.
Speaker 2: Jake kidding.
Speaker 3: And then the Cardinals NFL, we all make a commitment
that I think pretty much we all make our picks
about fourteen seconds before the segment start.
Speaker 2: Pretty much, Yeah, let's at least fourteen minutes.
Speaker 5: I kind of start looking at it throughout the week.
Speaker 2: It's fourteen minutes, fourteen minutes segment before. Yeah, well, I'll
be honest with you. My college pick, I'm pretty locked
in on same, but my NFL pick.
Speaker 5: I don't know about the NFL one.
Speaker 6: I am not as big on the NFL well versed
in the NFL as I am in college football. But
and I also feel like I need to start going
with my backups because I had Wake five and a
half the week before and that one, well, yeah, when
we did the double one, and but that was my backup.
That one hit Mississippi State didn't last week. Indiana was
my backup. Miszoo did not hit in Indiana did. So
I need to go not with my gut.
Speaker 3: So to our loyal listeners who depend on that pontoon
parlay every week to pay for their groceries, we are
making this pl you. We are going to spend at
least fourteen minutes thinking about each one of our picks.
Speaker 4: We're making that stand right now. It's a commitment.
Speaker 5: We're doing it.
Speaker 4: We're going to do it.
Speaker 5: We are We hit in the in the middle.
Speaker 2: Two three team, we got it, We got you, got you?
Oh wow team No no, no, that is very non box.
Speaker 7: Holy hell, that was non Let's criticize Tailor for picking
the Cardinals and it's the only one that hit this weekend.
Speaker 2: And now you're pulling away from Wow.
Speaker 4: Put my hand in and everything and jump started it.
Speaker 2: W whoa ready team on me? One two three team?
Thank you my god.
Speaker 5: Let's put this. We'll put last week's parlay aside and clear.
Speaker 2: I feel good about this. It's like the Saint Seahawks game.
We're gonna put that one away. Yeah, that's the outlier, outlier.
Yeah that was not the norm. No, no, I don't
worry about that. All right, we'll take a break. More

Notre Dame. In the Holy War Utah and BYU. Of notes,
there's no other ranked on rank games, so I think
there's two outside of the SEC, three within the SEC
coming up this weekend. Now, the Holy War is always
going to be something that's going to be a great
talking about rivalry situation. I mean Utah BYU. That one's
going to be in provo. Utah actually a three and
a half point favorite on the road against a number
fifteen team in the country. So maybe something to look
at usc traveling to South Bend to take on Notre Dame.
Notre Dame eight and a half point favorite in the
game against the Trojans. And so that's the other games
involving ranked teams. Nothing else really when it comes to
the top twenty five, maybe maybe a Friday night Louisville
at Miami will beat the hell out of them. Last
year running the football, but Louisville right now not bad.
I mean, they' four and one on the year. They're
only loss against a good Virginia team and that was
a great game and kind of went down to the
wild I believe it actually ended up being an overtime game.
But Miami is still thirteen and a half point favorite
in that contest. So don't have a lot of action
outside of the SEC. Like the number one team in
the country, the Buckeys going to Wisconsin Camp Randall, I'm
pretty sure the four of us could go to Camp
Randall and give the Badgers a hell of a fight.
Right now, Michigan State Indiana going to be in Indiana.
Michigan State just got housed by UCLA. So most of
the slate is in the SEC.
Speaker 3: Look, I get it, and most of the traditional really
good games are SEC. But I'm going to be locked
in at six point thirty cheering on the Southern California Trojans.
I'm going to be the biggest USC fan this weekend.
And I think we can all you know where when
they put our hate away. I might wear Matt Castle jersey.
There's it's debatable, but that game is one that I'm
going to be very interested in because I think it's fun.
And I'm going to be actively cheering against Notre Dame
because of two segments ago. It's talking about the top
twenty five like they are sitting there at thirteen, and
we might, all of us, all college football fans, might
get subjugated to watching Notre Dame make it into the
play here in the Notre Dame seeing their logo pop
up on the College Football Playoff reveal show, and I
want I don't want that. That's the last thing I
think anybody should want.
Speaker 2: Well, they would be rewarded for their losses and not
their wins apps because they are cowards.
Speaker 4: And they won't join a conference.
Speaker 2: It's tradition.
Speaker 3: We're independent. Blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, yeah, cowards. Sorry,
that's how that's too too much hate. That's two segments
spent on them hating them.
Speaker 2: My bad.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be locked into that one though, very excited
about it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be locked in this weekend the USC Notre Dame.
Speaker 5: You want to watch USC beat Notre Dame? Is that
gonna be your Parley pick underdog?
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe.
Speaker 8: A half point favorite, which is wild?
Speaker 3: I know, isn't that crazy because they're getting rewarded again
for their losses.
Speaker 4: You too, damn guys.
Speaker 2: Can interest you in the Holy War? Not not really
what that is my kind of game, Just me, nasty, tough.
I don't like you, you don't like me.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll have it on one of that version,
one of the five games that I got at once
in the living room. It'll be up there, but the
sound won't be on on that one.
Speaker 2: Oh that didn't get the volume. It didn't get. I
don't think it needs the volume, even if it's the other.
Speaker 3: Like if my volume is at the bottom right corner
of my quadbox and it's all the way at the
time left, I'm not too not too clicking again.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, So you're gonna watch the
l s U game and it's totality right. Well yeah,
uh yeah, it's job. Do you pause the TV and
turn the radio up so you can listen to your
co host on the podcast? Yeah? Obviously, how do you
do it? Just like you said, but walk me through
the process of how you do it so I can
make sure you're doing it right.
Speaker 3: I got this, uh, I got this doomsday flashlight that
also has a radio on it, a little dial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and right on him. Yeah, but it takes four
But how do you sync it up though, because we'll
always be ahead of the TV. Yeah, the little pause
play on the flashlight yeah, hm hmmm, it's weird. I
thought you had I thought you had to do it
on a smart speaker and you had to pause it
and not a flashlight.
Speaker 4: Actually, I don't even watch it sit in my car.
Speaker 2: You just listen to listen to.
Speaker 4: The calle Really great.
Speaker 5: That's a real Foxhole number does.
Speaker 2: I think the voice does a great job of painting
the picture. You don't need a TV get it.
Speaker 5: You can see it in your head.
Speaker 7: I mean, my my favorite game of last year. I
told him last year I had to listen to ILLOSU
South Carolina. Whole thing on the radio because we're traveling
that day.
Speaker 8: That's Game of the Year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, Why I don't want to listen to the
radio when I can listen to Jordan Rodgers call the game.
Speaker 2: So you know, you just admitted that you listened to
Jordan over your co host if you knew he was
on the call. It was said in jest. It's not
that hard man. You get your Alexa. What did you say?
Speaker 4: What kind of radio?
Speaker 2: Smart radio smart speaker like your Alexa Siri, like whatever
you have in your house.
Speaker 5: I don't, Hey, Alexa, put Jake on, Yeah, and then.
Speaker 2: You pause it and then you match it up with
the don't smart speaker. Now do you think any of
us believe the yo ass ain't got an ax Ai speaker? Yeah, exactly,
I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't have a smart speaker. What what do you
look at?
Speaker 5: You don't.
Speaker 2: You don't have a speaker that you're like, Hey, I
played things coming on Alexa? What's the weather today? You
call a Bluetooth speaker? You don't have that. No, I
find that incredibly hard to believe. I'm gonna I'm gonna
ask your wife, Okay, you definitely have one. No, I
don't know Siri.
Speaker 3: As much as you love a phone that has Siri
on it as much, I don't need it on a
speaker because you like.
Speaker 2: Hey, uh Siri, play uh billy idle.
Speaker 5: I don't do that, he says, Siri, please shout.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great idea. Maybe skiff to the I
know what I'm getting you for Christmas because I find
it hard to believe you don't have one.
Speaker 4: I don't have a smart speaker. I got a soundbar
under my TV that plays the TV.
Speaker 2: Oh the TV, not the radio. Just admitted guilt yet again,
told you Jordan Rogers elect. All right, Well, my feelings
are hurt, so I'm gonna move on. When you need

Uh go see him, Go see them right now their
jobs at I don't know where, but Matt once you
go see him right now? Give all right outside of
you hate watching USC and Notre Dame. If I included
the SEC games here in the slate there outside of
LSU as well, do we think the game of the
week is going to be ole Miss at Georgia or
is it going to be Tennessee at Alabama? The Georgia
being more than a touchdown favorite. Remember Old Miss now
it was in Oxford. Ole Miss took it to them
last year. Different team, certainly a different front seven four
ole Miss, and I said it after they beat LSU.
I still think ole Miss is a team that is
going to be a nine to three type football team.
They almost lost to Wazu at home Georgia in the
second half. Now, first half they were horrid offensively. Second
half they came back obviously played much better. They beat
Auburn on the road. It's a good road win for them.
Speaker 6: I think relative to the rest to like the Tennessee
Alabama game. Georgia and Ole Miss is going to be
an ass off. Ooh relative tokay, if you're looking.
Speaker 7: For upset, I think Tennessee has a lot better chance
of beating Alabama than Ole Miss does Georgia.
Speaker 8: I don't like the fact that Alabama's an eight and
a half point favorite.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think Tennessee is good.
Speaker 8: Tennessee could score points.
Speaker 7: Famous defense has been good at times, hasn't been good
at times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bama's a more complete team though Bama. Like, like
I said, I think Bama right now is trending in
that Tier one kind of type of team in the country.
We just talked about the three Tier one teams like
that we're putting there right now, Ohio State, Miami, Indiana,
Alabama's trending that direction.
Speaker 4: They're they're kind of Green Era up.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Georgia's not Georgia's not the same Georgia team now. They
still got the talent, they're they're a complete team, but
like they're just not as good a complete team am
as they have been now.
Speaker 2: Ole Miss.
Speaker 3: I think they're a little bit of a They're they're
a paper tiger right now, They're sitting at number five.
They're when against l s U at the way LSU
was playing at that time. It's not like as good
as they probably thought it would be before the season.
Speaker 5: I don't think is a very good team.
Speaker 4: I don't think they're you know, I think they're good.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're great. I don't think they're very good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I watched them on film and I wasn't like
sitting there impressed with them. Now they run.
Speaker 3: What they do on offense is hard to defend because
you can't get creative with it. You can't you can't
confuse them with a bunch of different crazy defensive looks.
So it really vanilla is what you can do on defense.
But it's not like they're an elite offense. It's kind
of like the scheme and the link Kiffen being a
really good play caller that kind of eliminates a lot
of the things and sets up some good opportunities for
the offense.
Speaker 4: Defensively, I don't think they're that. They're not They're not great.
Speaker 2: The Ole miss is not good defense.
Speaker 3: They're not a great defense. So I think Georgia will
win that game. I think they will kind of pull
the mask over old Missus face this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually I like the Bulldogs in that one too.
I think it's a bad matchup for ole Miss because
like the thing thing about well really Ole Miss and Alabama,
like the thing you can't do is like get behind,
because then takes you out of running the football. And
that's the thing that neither one of those teams, Alabama
or Ole Miss are good against is stopping the run.
So if you let them get out to a big
lead and you got to play catch up, that's where
you get into trouble. But if you stay on schedule
and you can establish who you are, then I think
you're gonna have a lot of advantages. I like the
Bulldogs in that one as well. We'll take a break.
