Speaker 4: Maybe flashbacks, I'm having flashbacks.
Speaker 5: With this song. I'm very embarrassed to admit this.
Speaker 4: Maybe I shouldn't be, but we were a bunch of
Speaker 4: white kids in the mid nineties, trying to keep up
Speaker 4: with the jones Is playing high school basketball re ported
Speaker 4: this song.
Speaker 5: I don't know, Maybe I don't know. Maybe you had.
Speaker 4: One Summit County warm up tape where you go out
Speaker 4: for warm ups and the seniors pick which songs you're
Speaker 4: gonna warm up to. This was definitely on our warm
Speaker 4: up tape, and it was somewhat embarrassing.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 6: Well, the funny thing is is that when I was
Speaker 6: in high school, the warm up tape was controlled by
Speaker 6: my coach at that point, who is.
Speaker 2: Like yacht rock, eighties rock.
Speaker 6: It was Van Halen, it was ac DC, it was
Speaker 6: like all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: So kind of an inside joke. Then now we're.
Speaker 6: Throwing in, of course, the eminem the.
Speaker 2: Jay Z kind of warm up stuff.
Speaker 6: But yeah, there was a There was actually probably a
Speaker 6: lot of similar stuff just because we didn't have control
Speaker 6: of the playlist.
Speaker 4: Wait a second, what year where are we talking here?
Speaker 4: For you playing basketball?
Speaker 2: Twenty thirteen? Fourteen?
Speaker 5: Was this Oh so We're lose yourself right? Was all
Speaker 5: over the place? Yeah about the time frame, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yes, for sure. And then the jay Z, Kanye album.
Speaker 6: The collaboration there maybe not aged well in a lot
Speaker 6: of ways, but that was definitely a warm up, specific
Speaker 6: really good selection.
Speaker 4: All right, fair enough, fair enough, all right, tom Now,
Speaker 4: we usually do this on Mondays, but our Monday show
Speaker 4: was jam Pack, So we're gonna do our Big twelve
Speaker 4: Power rankings here. As you guys know by now, chaos
Speaker 4: last weekend started Friday night. Houston, who didn't even look
Speaker 4: like a serious football team at one point, went down
Speaker 4: and beat TCU took care of him pretty easily. There
Speaker 4: then obviously chaos all weekend. Okay, State looses again in Stillwater.
Speaker 4: They actually got run off their own home field by
Speaker 4: West Virginia. I could keep going, Kansas might just suck,
Speaker 4: and Texas Tech beat Arizona after Arizona rolled in a
Speaker 4: salt lake and smoked Utah.
Speaker 5: So Porter, I'll let you lead off.
Speaker 4: I ended up ranking six teams today, So I have
Speaker 4: my top six from my Big twelve Power rankings.
Speaker 5: How'd your roll with yours this week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, similarly to you, I struggle to take.
Speaker 6: Some teams out of it because we still are fairly
Speaker 6: early in the Big twelve schedule. Spence, So there are
Speaker 6: seven teams in the conference that have zero or one
Speaker 6: loss as of today, I'm ranking all of those teams
Speaker 6: in some form or fashion, but I struggled to differentiate
Speaker 6: because of the up and down nature of their season,
Speaker 6: because of maybe their availability. Speaking of a team here
Speaker 6: in Salt Lake and another team in Arizona State, who
Speaker 6: I just I don't necessarily believe in their ceiling, although
Speaker 6: they've looked good this year, and for that reason, I'm
Speaker 6: complicating things here, but I kind of have a three
Speaker 6: way tie for fifth place in my power rankings this
Speaker 6: week in Utah and Arizona State are probably playing for
Speaker 6: that spot on Friday, so we'll know a little bit
Speaker 6: more about that. But right now, those teams, I'm confident
Speaker 6: that they'll be in the mix at the end of
Speaker 6: the year, but I just don't know exactly what their
Speaker 6: ceiling is, what their outlook is, especially for the Utes
Speaker 6: with the availability of one cam rising.
Speaker 2: So that's my number five.
Speaker 6: It's Utah, it's ASU playing for that five spot on Friday,
Speaker 6: and Texas Tech kind of looming there.
Speaker 2: At number four. I have Colorado.
Speaker 6: They have jumped into the picture in a way I
Speaker 6: didn't expect from them because I just think there's so
Speaker 6: much noise, there's so much going on off the field.
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, I talked about
Speaker 6: this week one spence winning is the premium. I put
Speaker 6: a premium on winning in these power rankings. No novel concept,
Speaker 6: I know, but Colorado's doing that, and they're doing that
Speaker 6: while also having maybe the most talented roster in the league.
Speaker 6: So I'm keeping them in my top five at number four.
Speaker 6: At number three, it's Kansas State.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 6: They're loss to BYU looked really bad, but when you
Speaker 6: go back and watch the film, this is not taking
Speaker 6: away from BYU's win, and you'll see not taking away
Speaker 6: from BYU with my rankings here in a moment, Kansas
Speaker 6: State played a lot better football game than the final
Speaker 6: score will tell in provo. So I've been impressed with
Speaker 6: the way they've bounced back in in a lot of ways.
Speaker 6: I still have them at number three in this week's
Speaker 6: power rankings and coming in at number two. It is
Speaker 6: the Cougars, the team just forty miles south to us.
Speaker 6: BYU has been phenomenal.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 6: They're They're still unblemished. They've gotten through a month and
Speaker 6: a little bit of change without a loss so far.
Speaker 6: Really really impressive stuff from Keiloni and co. I think
Speaker 6: the next month Spence is going to be tough for BYU.
Speaker 6: I think this is the part of their slate that
Speaker 6: I have really circled to find out who they are.
Speaker 2: I thought we were gonna find.
Speaker 6: Out a lot more when we had those Kansas State
Speaker 6: BYU Oklahoma State Utah matchups, but those games ended up
Speaker 6: so weird that I don't think we learned all that much.
Speaker 6: I think we will learn a lot about BYU in
Speaker 6: the next month, and then at number one in our
Speaker 6: rankings as of today, it's been the most consistent team.
Speaker 6: They have the best win probably in the conference at
Speaker 6: Iowa as far as as the unblemish teams, and I
Speaker 6: have Iowa State at number one, but I'll do that
Speaker 6: with a caveat. I don't think they'll be number one
Speaker 6: come end of the season, nor do I think they'll
Speaker 6: be in the Big Twelve championship game. But as of today,
Speaker 6: October eighth, their resume says that they should be number
Speaker 6: one in the Power rankings.
Speaker 4: So ours are somewhat similar but not entirely similar.
Speaker 5: So let's kind of dig in here.
Speaker 4: You know two teams that I've had essentially as staples in.
Speaker 5: My top five have tumbled incredibly.
Speaker 4: Oklahoma State just might be bad and UCF is not
Speaker 4: the team I thought they would be, So they drop
Speaker 4: out of my top five as of right now, even
Speaker 4: though they have been mainstays, and I still think both
Speaker 4: teams might be able to turn around.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you missed it.
Speaker 4: We chatted with Spencer Hall and his assertion is, you know,
Speaker 4: now pretty much anybody can beat anybody, So let's dig in.
Speaker 4: Starting at number seven, I have Arizona State. So Porter
Speaker 4: kind of outlined this a little bit. Friday Night will
Speaker 4: be a big time tell for both these teams quite frankly,
Speaker 4: because there's some buzz around Arizona.
Speaker 5: State with Kenny Dillingham in year two.
Speaker 4: You know they were Mississippi State's not good, but that's
Speaker 4: a non con sec win. They go on the road
Speaker 4: and beat Texas Tech. They are excuse me, Texas State.
Speaker 4: Then they lose to Tech, but that was a really
Speaker 4: good game. Kansas might not be good, but there's talent
Speaker 4: there and so they're coming off a win. So at seven,
Speaker 4: I have Arizona State. At six, I have Utah. I
Speaker 4: don't know where else to put them. As of right now,
Speaker 4: as we've been talking about with the lack of availability,
Speaker 4: it's not just Cameron Rising is Karente read, It's Conrad
Speaker 4: a tool I could keep going. It feels a lot
Speaker 4: like it did a year ago, and this certainly could
Speaker 4: and hopefully will turn around. But Utah for the first
Speaker 4: time this week is falling out of my top five.
Speaker 4: They're at number six, So ASU seven, Utah six. And
Speaker 4: even though Arizona is coming off a loss of their
Speaker 4: own uh to you know, to Texas Tech factor, no
Speaker 4: matter is they rolled in here to Salt Lake and
Speaker 4: they bullied the Utah youth. So I have Arizona coming
Speaker 4: in at number five at four a Texas Tech. I
Speaker 4: don't know how good they are, but they continue to
Speaker 4: win in conference. They beat both Arizona schools, so I
Speaker 4: couldn't rank either Arizona schools ahead of them. They're only
Speaker 4: losses up on the Police Touazoo. But as of right now,
Speaker 4: because they're three and oh, they're actually the first place
Speaker 4: team in the Big twelve.
Speaker 5: So I have Texas Tech at four. Coming in at.
Speaker 4: Three, I have k State, and part of me believes
Speaker 4: K State is better than three. Part of me believes
Speaker 4: they might still have something to say about it at
Speaker 4: the end.
Speaker 5: Is the best team in this conference.
Speaker 4: Of course, that loss in Provo stung, but there were
Speaker 4: a lot of really weird, weird.
Speaker 5: Things that happened that night. BYU was opportunistic.
Speaker 4: They took advantage Aaron Rodger called the kill shots when
Speaker 4: they were in the red zone. They score touchdowns. So
Speaker 4: BYU deserves the credit. So on paper, I like k
Speaker 4: State maybe as much as any team in the league
Speaker 4: because the results. Though there are three at two. I
Speaker 4: have BYU just like you do, and they have earned
Speaker 4: their flowers and be interesting to see if they can
Speaker 4: take advantage of this momentum and national attention coming up
Speaker 4: on Saturday with Fox Big Neon Kickoff being down in
Speaker 4: Provo for a two o'clock Mountain time kick off against Arizona,
Speaker 4: and Arizona's a team we're going to continue to have
Speaker 4: to learn about. After winning in saut Lake, they go
Speaker 4: home and lose to Tech. BYU is a four point
Speaker 4: five point favorite at home over Arizona coming up, and
Speaker 4: then Iowa State deserves the.
Speaker 5: Ranking at the top. They've stayed clean, They're very complete.
Speaker 4: They might have one of if not the best non
Speaker 4: conference wins a road win at their rival Iowa week
Speaker 4: two after beating North to North Dakota. But at this
Speaker 4: point they've had two conference games. I don't think they've
Speaker 4: played any of the good teams in conference yet. At
Speaker 4: Houston where they just essentially smothered them twenty zero, and
Speaker 4: then they go to Baylor or excuse me. Then Baylor rolls
Speaker 4: down to Iowa State, but they smoke Baylor. I'm afraid
Speaker 4: David Random might lose his job. Never cheer for that,
Speaker 4: a good guy to potentially be unemployed.
Speaker 5: So they have it.
Speaker 4: Iowa State one, BYU two, k State three, Texas Tech four,
Speaker 4: Arizona five, Utah six, ASU coming in at number seven
Speaker 4: for our weekly Big twelve Power rankings
