Potentially we can win. It's gonna be a 29 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,359 very fun show today. And Jake is back from covering 30 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,519 the SEC Championships in Atlanta. Jake, what's up, dude? 31 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,239 Speaker 4: Doing well? A little little rainy drive in it was 32 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,560 it was. 33 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: Kind of like sketchy rain when I was coming in, 34 00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:00,439 like the point of kind of blindness. It's like like 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,200 the interstate slowed down. Normoun' like a why were slowing out? 36 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,280 But even I was like, yeah, yeah whatever. It was 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,879 a little it was a little crazy to be safe 38 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,800 out there, guys. Yeah, the game I was that was 39 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240 a little bit crazy. It was very very boring until 40 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,680 it wasn't. No, it was a fun trip, had fun shows. 41 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,960 A lot to break down in that game. I mean, 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,159 Texas certainly dominated the game. Georgia found a way to 43 00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:22,599 come back. I don't know how. 44 00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 5: Far Georgia can go with their lack of weapons, something 45 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,479 I know we'll certainly get into when we start talking 46 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,960 college football playoffs. But always a fun trip and it 47 00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:33,919 just begins the season of travel. I'll be at Army 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,919 Navy this weekend, and hell yeah, by the time February 49 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,919 gets here, I think I'll be at home for a weekend. 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,199 Speaker 2: That uh, that Army Navy game is going to be 51 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,520 one of the best ever, for sure. Shout out to Army. 52 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,719 Unfortunately it happened at the hands of Greenway, but pretty 53 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,439 damn cool to watch Bryce and Daily and that team 54 00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:53,960 finish off an AAC championship, put Army in. 55 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 4: The playoffs, and now they're going to the INDEPENDENCEI ball. 56 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: Oh yeah who they playing to game?

So yeah, I mean, we'll break down the championship games. 59 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,319 That's so crazy. Did so many shows over the weekend 60 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,319 that I felt like we'd already talked about that and 61 00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:13,039 it was like time move on. But no, it's Monday. 62 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,800 We just had a weekend full of championships. 63 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 4: I probably talked about seventy three times. 64 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I've already done like three shows 65 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,360 since then, I believe, so, uh yeah, hell yeah, Landra, 66 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:27,919 how are we feeling sorry about it? You know? I 67 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,439 hate to see it is what it is. 68 00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:31,759 Speaker 6: Went to the championship game in the first season in 69 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,360 the SEC. 70 00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:35,439 Speaker 7: Yeah, no school, you should be proud of that. Definitely 71 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:42,879 good good participation trophy nerd the nerd, Yeah, I trust me. 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:49,199 Speaker 6: I hate the text as yeah you okay, either of 73 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,039 the two teams that I root for right now? 74 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: Fair. 75 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,199 Speaker 5: There was so many people there, like I was curious, 76 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,639 like like who's everybody, Like people that don't have a 77 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,599 dog in the fight, Like who are they kind of rooting. 78 00:03:59,319 --> 00:03:59,879 Speaker 4: For right now? 79 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:05,439 Speaker 5: And it was overwhelmingly like hey, like George has done 80 00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:06,479 it so many times in a row. 81 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,879 Speaker 4: We're tired of it. But we can't be having Texas 82 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:10,800 come in here the first year. 83 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: The devil you know, is better than the devil you don't. 84 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:18,199 There's a reason why these sayings exist. Georgia was absolutely 85 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,600 the lesser of two evils and Me and the Cannon 86 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,240 and the a Bear household. On Saturday, unfortunately, uh, we 87 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:25,959 were cheering for the dog. 88 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,399 Speaker 4: I don't know. 89 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 5: Mass There's still something about people barking at me when 90 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,199 I walk back. 91 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 4: I hate it. 92 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: It's so absurd. Other than that, I love it because 93 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,279 it represents the absurdity of college football, but as a 94 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,879 as a socialized human being in the modern age, I 95 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,319 hate it. 96 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 5: Yes, one of the things that we do have to 97 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,279 talk about with that game, that is it's a massive 98 00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:49,319 advantage for Georgia to have that game there. 99 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,759 Speaker 2: And it's so it's so funny. 100 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 4: It was so loud on every Texas third down. 101 00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:57,319 Speaker 2: It's so funny because every time you bring this up 102 00:04:57,319 --> 00:05:01,240 to a Georgia fan, they try to make excuses about 103 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,399 the other team just not traveling. Well, I'm not traveling. 104 00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:09,360 I'm like, no, guys, I mean it's in your homestake. Yeah, yeah, no, 105 00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:12,199 you can go and then drop home and sleep. It 106 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,759 was to it was seventy five, twenty five. It's the 107 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,240 height of them thirty like maybe eighty twenty, like years ago. Okay, 108 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,079 So I guess I feel like especially close to this 109 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,560 conversation because I hosted thereon and so for years I 110 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,560 had to listen to him rip on LSU for not 111 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,360 traveling in that SEC championship on Friday, same thing, yeah, right, 112 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:32,600 exactly right, And I'm like, well, Okay, First off, LSU 113 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:34,600 fans knew you weren't even close at Georgia team, so 114 00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,680 I don't blame anybody for not traveling. But the bigger 115 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,319 point is it will always be an advantage. And of 116 00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:41,279 course the run up to this game, he tried to say, no, no, 117 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:43,319 it's gonna be fifty fifty blah blah blah. No, it 118 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,120 will never be. It is a massive advantage for Jordan 119 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,160 to get that game in their backyard when they're gonna 120 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,920 The reason why it didn't matter as much in the 121 00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:53,759 past is because they were never this good, so didn't 122 00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:55,600 make it all the time, and when they would make it, 123 00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,720 they weren't necessarily the favorite, whereas nowadays they seem to 124 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,680 make it. Well, they have made it, what seven years 125 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560 in a row or something. Now you can saying six 126 00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:05,439 or seven years, I don't even know, I mean, and 127 00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:07,000 they're generally the favorite going in. 128 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, I actually you actually wanted that much though, well. 129 00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: I guess yeah, because Daddy Nick was there. 130 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,399 Speaker 3: On the other side time. 131 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 4: I just I mean, I was like, you know what. 132 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,319 Speaker 2: Also, a lot of Bammer representation in Georgia as well, 133 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,600 so if there is a fan base that would be 134 00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:25,720 able to compete like with like filling out the state, 135 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,079 like like Auburn Alabama. They're right there. There's a ton 136 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,560 of representation from both those but it's an event. 137 00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:33,519 Speaker 5: Well, I I was curious about Texas and how they 138 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,680 would travel, just because Texas has a lot of money. 139 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,279 Thought the first time that they're going to be in 140 00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:39,920 the game, you know whatever. But no, it was I 141 00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:43,040 mean not even remotely close. And again like there were 142 00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:45,639 some big moments in third downs where I mean it 143 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,959 was loud for the Texas offense. 144 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,959 Speaker 2: Miltzigers is almost like Lshie playing for Nasham Sugar Bowl. Yeah, 145 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240 I mean, look true, but that's harder to time up. 146 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,000 You know, it's now now I don't even know when 147 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,560 it would be. But it used to be once every 148 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,079 four years. Like this is every single year. 149 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 6: And just happened to happen. The time that we were 150 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,600 really cool. 151 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,879 Speaker 4: Happened three seven nineteen. 152 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,199 Speaker 6: It's kind of insane, but I will say I went 153 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,040 to my second Christmas party at the season last night. 154 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,639 Speaker 2: Oh wow.

We 290 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,639 dive straight into the bracket. Let's let's let's do a 291 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,879 strade in the bracket. We can talk about the games 292 00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:05,320 in a bit if we want to. But I'll say this. 293 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,360 I agree with the sentiment that was spoused on the 294 00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:17,480 playoff selection show, which is everybody kind of prefacing their 295 00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:20,679 statements that there is no perfect answer, right, And I 296 00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:26,440 agree with that. But ultimately this system is better because 297 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,399 at the end of the day, Jake, I care significantly 298 00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:33,480 less about what the twelfth team getting in and who 299 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,440 gets left out versus the fourth team. Right, Like when 300 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,120 you're talking about the four years, about a real deserving 301 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:42,279 team not even get an opportunity. Okay, when you get 302 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:47,360 all the way down to eleven verse twelve, every year, 303 00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:51,720 you're gonna see both sides have legitimate arguments to get in, 304 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,000 and by extension, both sides have legitimate arguments as to 305 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,279 why they got left out right, So like again, if 306 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,440 you would have put out and I would have understood, 307 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,000 I could have seen that. I could see the arguments 308 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,480 you put SMU in. Hell, yeah, I mean I absolutely 309 00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:10,960 see the arguments. So like, yeah, there's always going to 310 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:14,759 be parties that are upset. But how could you look 311 00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:19,679 at this bracket and not be excited? A bracket that 312 00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:22,919 runs the breadth the you know, the width and link 313 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,039 of the entire country. I mean, look at the top 314 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,600 two seeds Oregon in the Pacific, Northwest, Georgia coming out 315 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,360 of the southeast, and then you have everything in between. 316 00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:35,639 You have all levels of football. But what do all 317 00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,559 of these teams have in common. They're all teams that 318 00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:43,240 navigated their regular season better than everybody else. They are 319 00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:47,279 teams that, on Saturdays have been proven to be the 320 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,919 best winners. Not the most talent, not the best Vegas odds, 321 00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:56,279 but the best winners. Football is a game of intangibles, 322 00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,960 where the teams the whole, can be greater in the 323 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,080 some of its parts. That's why we play the regular season. 324 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,919 I love this. Are you kidding me. We get Tennessee 325 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,279 going up to Ohio State for an opening round playoff game, 326 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,399 Clemson heading to Texas, s MU up to Happy Valley 327 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,240 Penn State an n state battle Indiana Notre Dame. Then 328 00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:18,039 we get to say, like, if you love college football, 329 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,000 how could you not be excited for this? To me, Jake, 330 00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:25,480 this bracket and the uneven nature of college football is 331 00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:28,240 something that really has come under attack this weekend. Guess what. 332 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,240 The uneven nature of college football is a feature, not 333 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,000 a bug. It's why it's fun. The worst thing that 334 00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:39,120 could come out of this is y'all trying to homogenize 335 00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:42,440 the game that is full of peaks and valleys and 336 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,799 differences and ups and downs and regional differences. Like that's 337 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:48,000 why college woo ball is different from the NFL. The 338 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,279 NFL is great, it's awesome. Okay, it's the best football 339 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,080 out there from a pure quality standpoint, but it's also antiseptic. 340 00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:59,480 It's very even. Everybody's the same, just with swite little 341 00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:03,600 tweaks differences. This runs the gamut of offensive styles of 342 00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:08,160 defensive styles. Like we said, geographical identities. That's what college 343 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:14,480 football is great. The eccentricity idiosyncrasies, the randomness. So no, 344 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,640 I like the worst thing that I could hope for 345 00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:18,359 to come out of all of this is that we 346 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,519 overly focus on this one even, this one even, and 347 00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:22,880 then we ruin what has made the sport so unique 348 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,960 and so wonderful. Because when I look at this twelve 349 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,279 team bracket, it looks awesome to me. Everybody's in there, 350 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,880 champions one and all, and now instead of just arguing 351 00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:37,680 about who's going to be best, you get to settle 352 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,079 it on the actual field to play. I could not 353 00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:44,200 be more excited for this first year of the college 354 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,960 football playoff. 355 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,799 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm right there with you. I know a lot 356 00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:48,440 of people are talking about it. Yeah, we'll look at 357 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,440 the points spreads. These are going to be blowouts. So 358 00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:52,519 they're not going to all be blowouts. You're gonna have 359 00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:54,799 somebody upset somebody. That's just the way that it's. 360 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 4: Going to be. 361 00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 2: Uh. 362 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 5: Look, and I am tired of using Vegas as a metric. 363 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,759 I really am t Like that is something that's getting 364 00:18:01,799 --> 00:18:04,000 on mine. There's well, playing a neutral side game these 365 00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:05,200 two teams, this would be the point. 366 00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:06,599 Speaker 4: Well, okay, well we're not doing that. 367 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,599 Speaker 2: You know what you do BAM was favored by twenty 368 00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:13,400 one over Okloma. No, and that's one of countless instance. 369 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,640 But is the BAM and fans of one pushing this? Like, 370 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,960 what was the you were favored by twenty one against Oklahoma? 371 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 5: Was Arizona the favorite? Are they the underdog in the 372 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,599 Big twelve Championship? I think there was a slight favorite. Well, 373 00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,599 I mean I think, yeah, okay, like point spreads and 374 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:28,000 look at Vegas is good at what they do, but 375 00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:28,880 they lose all the time. 376 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,759 Speaker 2: No, Remember I mean washing in a no chance against 377 00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:32,400 Oregon last year, right, I mean, ac you had no 378 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,640 chance against Issue and it's like we don't even just play. 379 00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:37,240 It's like if you need examples put in front of 380 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:38,960 your face, you're being willfully obstinate. 381 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 4: Yes, and so like when I look at this and 382 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,480 I'm right there with you. 383 00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 5: I mean I thought maybe Arizona State would get the 384 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,400 three out the four, but that's that's small because I 385 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,559 mean it's kind of gonna end up being the same situation. 386 00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:54,359 The fact that we get an SEC team going to Columbus, Ohio. 387 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,960 I absolutely love that Clemson has to go because you know, 388 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,680 you you got in about the skinnier teeth, and so yeah, 389 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,079 you gotta go to Austin, Texas. 390 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 4: You gotta go prove it. 391 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 5: You're gonna have the toughest road, right You're gonna have 392 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,880 to go through a team like a Texas and then 393 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,000 if you win that, you gotta play a good Arizona State. 394 00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:12,799 If you win that, you're gonna have to play either Oregon, 395 00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:15,680 Ohio State, or Tennessee. So I like that they have 396 00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:18,079 a difficult path, but credit to them for getting in. 397 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:21,039 Speaker 2: They won They're conference championship. Dude, you should be rewarded 398 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:22,680 for winning your conference championship. 399 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 5: Indiana Notre Dame's gonna be fascinating. Indiana best rush defense 400 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,599 in the country. Going against Notre Dame, one of the 401 00:19:28,599 --> 00:19:30,839 best rush offenses in the country, that is going to 402 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:34,480 be a beautiful rock fight. You start to look at 403 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,279 maybe who is positioned to really make a run and 404 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:41,480 who might have the best path. Penn State's is it's 405 00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:44,200 pretty nice. You get a team that was G five 406 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,720 just a year ago. They got to come to your place. 407 00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:48,799 Is going to be colder than cold. And then if 408 00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:51,200 you win that, you get another G five team in 409 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,440 Boise State, who's a good team. 410 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 4: I'm not trying to slight them. 411 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,799 Speaker 5: But if you want to look at a path and 412 00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:59,160 then like, if it is Georgia, like I just watched 413 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,680 Georgia play, they've got flaws as well. So yeah, everybody, 414 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,839 Penn State's got a pretty nice path, but as we've 415 00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:06,039 seen in the past, Penn State will Penn State it. 416 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing. Path, path, passmath. Okay, that's 417 00:20:10,759 --> 00:20:13,119 what I say. Like, I loved what Dan Landing had 418 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,079 to say before the Big Ten Championship. He was like, 419 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,839 first off, buys are worth a ton, so this championship 420 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:20,720 game matters. Also, I don't care about seating because if 421 00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:22,319 you want to be the national champion, you gotta beat 422 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,160 who you gotta beat anyway, So just do it. Just 423 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,480 go out there and win. How about that? And and 424 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,400 here's my other. So there's been so much talk about 425 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,960 strength of schedule, okay, but there's an element in this 426 00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:39,519 conversation that nobody mentions or talking about, and that's this Jake. 427 00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:44,519 I would argue that Arizona State's road to getting here 428 00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:50,559 to the CFP was significantly tougher than Alabama's and it's 429 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,400 due to relative strength of schedule. So near like everybody's 430 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,599 like oh the s he's better, the sc he better. 431 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,759 Look what Alabama? I'm like, rah right right? Okay, but 432 00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:04,880 how about this? Relative to the opponent. Nearly every single week, 433 00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:08,920 Arizona State is punching up in the Big twelve. Right, 434 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,799 they were picked the finish last. Relative to the opponent, 435 00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:18,000 every single week, Alabama was the significantly more talented team. 436 00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:23,279 So why in the world would you want to reward 437 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,759 the team that underachieved versus a team that overachieved and 438 00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:30,960 that goes to any of these conferences? Right, All these 439 00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:35,480 teams relative to their conferences are on an even playing field. 440 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:39,240 So when you played the actual game of football over 441 00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:44,279 a twelve game, fourteen week sample size, these are the 442 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,400 teams that emerge as being the best and better than 443 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,319 their peers. Football. Again, it goes back to what I 444 00:21:50,319 --> 00:21:55,119 said originally, football is a game of intangibles, where the 445 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,400 whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. 446 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,680 If you just want to create a tournament based off 447 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,119 of recruiting rankings and Vegas ods, go ahead. Okay, but 448 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,480 it's not for me. I want the teams that actually 449 00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:10,640 played the best during the regular season get to play 450 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,079 into the postseason. And that's what you have here right 451 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:13,599 right here. 452 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, I don't think you can really poke 453 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,359 a lot of holes like people were doing in Arizona 454 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,559 State's resume. Now, Arizona State won the Big Twelve, they 455 00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:23,319 were an automatic qualifier, but when you look at their resume, 456 00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:25,799 they have four wins against teams that were ranked at 457 00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:28,400 the time, and two of those are still ranked. So 458 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,400 their resume, actually when you stack it up against even 459 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,039 some others in this college football playoff, is much better. 460 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 2: I'm more I'm more fighting. I'm not talking about resumes necessarily. 461 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,240 I'm more fighting this idea that out Like, you know, 462 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:43,400 the sec strength of schedule that. 463 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 5: Was not by all week in Atlanta was Yeah, Arizona State. 464 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,920 People that don't watch Arizona State, they don't watch football 465 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,599 west of Texas, they didn't understand what I was talking about. 466 00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:55,640 I'm like, no, when you go through what they've done 467 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,480 and two of those wins, you got, like to end 468 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,279 their season, you have to go on the road to 469 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,039 k State, you play BYU, you go on the road 470 00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:06,640 to your rival, and then you got to play sixteen 471 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,400 ranked Iowa State in a conference championship game. So there 472 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,519 was nothing easy about it. And it's the point that 473 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,720 you just made about them having to punch up. They 474 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,440 were picked dead last in this conference, sixteen out of sixteen, 475 00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:21,720 and their losses on the year road losses, and they 476 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,920 had their best player was banged up in those losses, 477 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,839 and so I mean it's a team that's been in 478 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,799 playoff mode since they went on the road to Little Manhattan. 479 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 2: Leonard da Vinci Alabama fans tea Bob's a moron. ASU 480 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,920 is not a power for a team. It would have 481 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,960 gotten skull drug in the SEC in the Big Ten. Well, 482 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,000 it's army, not in over Indiana. Under T BOP's ACIDI comments, 483 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,160 the Sun Belt championshould be in No. So you have 484 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:51,960 to understand in my hometown, any conversation, any conversation about 485 00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:57,279 this starts with some things that we accept as being 486 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,200 true as kind of our base guidelines. We accept that 487 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,079 there is a power four versus the Group of five. Okay, 488 00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:08,119 now we may believe that there's a big two within 489 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,160 that power four, but the clear lines of delineation are 490 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,519 between the power four, who all get auto bids, and 491 00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:16,640 then the Group of five as a whole. So no, 492 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,119 the Sunbelt Champions should not be in because our original 493 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,079 our original settings for deciding this is that the group 494 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,680 of five are all up together. We try to choose 495 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,519 the best group of five team. Okay, so no, some 496 00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:31,240 bel champions shouldn't be in, though the Sunbelt champion had 497 00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:34,960 a more impressive regular season. Then did Alabama? Like again, 498 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,279 if you're Alabama, if you're all Miss, if you are 499 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,319 who's the other three lost team? I'm blaking well South 500 00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:46,559 Carolina maybe not as much. But if you're Alabama All Miss, Yeah, look, 501 00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:51,079 I'm sorry. Guys. You were the better team every single weekend. 502 00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:54,119 You were better than lsu Ole Miss. You were better 503 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,559 than kentucky'll miss Alabama, you were better than Oklahoma, you 504 00:24:57,559 --> 00:24:59,720 were better than Vanderbilt. But guess what? Why didn't you win? 505 00:24:59,799 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 9: Then? 506 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 2: If you had more talent, if you are the better team, 507 00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:05,759 and we can all say, well, I know who the 508 00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:07,559 best teams are. I know this team. When I know this, 509 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,599 then why didn't you win? Because from where I'm sitting, 510 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,279 y'all underachieved. Why should you get rewarded and get excuses 511 00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:21,880 made for you for underachieving? It's absurd, It's absurd. It's 512 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,920 almost as if you just want free handouts. Could it 513 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,680 be you Alabama fan. Surely not, Leonardo. Come on now, dude, 514 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,319 get the hell up out of here. This freaking tournament's awesome. 515 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 5: I do disagree with you, Jonathan inside the chat. The 516 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,799 Big twelve is a week conference. It's not going to be, 517 00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:41,640 oh my gosh, let's compete with the SEC from top 518 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,440 to bottom. But to say it's a weak conference, I 519 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,839 think is disingenuous because you've got, you know, in this 520 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,799 conference alone, you've got a BYU team that's ten and 521 00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:52,240 two that beat SMU, who's in. 522 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,319 Speaker 4: The College Football Playoff. 523 00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:55,559 Speaker 5: You've got a ten and three Iowa State team, You've 524 00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:58,079 got a nine and three Colorado team. You've got an 525 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,359 eight and four Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, and Kansas State. 526 00:26:01,839 --> 00:26:03,519 So that kind of tells you that every single week. 527 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:05,200 And also you got Kansas who at the end of 528 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,319 the year where they got healthy, they were beating people. 529 00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:10,200 I think you have to look at the totality of 530 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,839 this conference. I'm not saying you're stacking up with the SEC, 531 00:26:13,079 --> 00:26:15,599 not even close, right, I get that. But to say 532 00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:17,839 it's a weak conference, I think is just someone that 533 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,759 hasn't watched a lot of Big twelve football. Because it's 534 00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:23,000 got a lot of parody in it, top to bottom, 535 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,000 and you've got again, like the middle portion of your 536 00:26:26,039 --> 00:26:28,319 conference is still like an eight and four Kansas State. 537 00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's it's it's absurd. It's absurd. In fact, 538 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,279 they probably closely closest mirror is the SEC in terms 539 00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:39,480 of top to bottom kind of relative equality. And and 540 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,240 make no and and he sometimes you know, you know 541 00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:47,680 when sometimes people tell on themselves. Here's leonardists comment, Alabama 542 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,519 did not deserve me near the playoff, but sm you 543 00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:52,720 deserved the last Alabama lost all but one, coaching forty 544 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,720 players in the portal. Oh damn. So here it comes out, 545 00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:58,400 you know, here the truth comes out. And that's the 546 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,519 dirty truth in all of this dialogue and debate. Who 547 00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:06,400 said so much of it is just Alabama fans who 548 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,920 for fifteen years are used to being on top and 549 00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:13,759 finally now they're on the outside looking in, and they 550 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,680 cannot fathom why, and they cannot compute it, you know, 551 00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:21,119 the spoiled child. You're like Dudley from Harry Potter. Last 552 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,000 year I got forty one presents. Well guess what, Vernon, 553 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,799 he ain't getting you two more at the zoo Dudley, Sorry, 554 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,920 you fat little pig. Here's a little tail from your boy. 555 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:31,720 T Hagrid. 556 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 8: Yes, Taylor, so many like all the talking heads on ESPN, 557 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,759 like you're talking about like can't fathom that Alabama's not 558 00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:42,079 in it. Their biggest argument for weeks now has been, yeah, 559 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,519 Alabama's got three losses, but like, huh, I mean, I 560 00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:46,240 guess we shouldn't schedule tough games. 561 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 3: You didn't lose your tough guy. 562 00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:50,799 Speaker 8: No, dude, you got blown out by an Oklahoma team, 563 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,359 and congratulations, you gave them two of their SEC wins 564 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:54,759 this year. 565 00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 3: You gave them one of their two. 566 00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:59,079 Speaker 8: Vanderbilt, you were a twenty point favorite, put forty points 567 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,319 on you there and six Like, the only good. 568 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 3: Team you lost through this year was Tennessee. 569 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,599 Speaker 8: So you can sit there and say, oh, well, you 570 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,440 know they have so many wins first off, LSU and Missouri. 571 00:28:07,759 --> 00:28:09,599 Look where lsuvents not as good of a win as 572 00:28:09,599 --> 00:28:11,799 everybody's making it out to be. Like Alabama's got two 573 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:13,359 good wins as far as I'm concerned, and they have 574 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,759 two really really bad losses. 575 00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 9: It's just so it's just this this whole team thing 576 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:26,240 is so weak minded, soft, pathetic whatever sending him you 577 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:26,599 want to use. 578 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,319 Speaker 2: It is such a a a joke as to the 579 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:35,640 point of being embarrassing. Greg Byrne should be embarrassed with 580 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,720 his comments. You lost to your conference schedule. You didn't 581 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,039 go out of conference and lose a game. You lost 582 00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:47,559 to the dreads of your conference in at least one 583 00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:51,160 case in Oklahoma. Like, what are you talking about? 584 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,359 Speaker 5: All three SEC teams lost only conference games, right, Yes, 585 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,119 that's what I'm saying. 586 00:28:55,119 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 3: What Alabama didn't? 587 00:28:58,079 --> 00:29:02,759 Speaker 2: You freaking losers dude all around? And trust us, I 588 00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:06,720 know about losing out of conference games. Guess what I don't. 589 00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:09,079 And that's anohing. I see owt LSU does we need 590 00:29:09,079 --> 00:29:12,519 to reschedule cliff? That cuts a cliff that immediately. Hey, 591 00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:16,319 how about you drop your nuts? Okay, I'm so freaking 592 00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:18,799 sick of it. How about you drop your nuts and 593 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:20,920 you win the game. If you want to be a 594 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,279 good team, you gotta win. If you want to play 595 00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:28,279 the fairy dance and try to, you know, daintily tiptoe 596 00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:31,480 your way through the regular season, go ahead, Hey. 597 00:29:31,359 --> 00:29:38,359 Speaker 4: For me, my bad, I mean I go far. No, that's. 598 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,079 Speaker 5: It's a valid point because it's it's nothing to do 599 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,200 with the non con nothing like for those teams, there's 600 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,839 nothing to do with it. It's all like it's it's 601 00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:50,599 the conference games. 602 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: It exactly, exactly exactly. But again the point is, yes, 603 00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:59,880 the SEC is the best conference, obviously, but also the 604 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,160 the team's relative to one another. It's no different than 605 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,160 the Big Twelve, it's no different than these other conferences. 606 00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:08,279 So I'm not just gonna reward you because you have 607 00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:11,880 higher recruited rankings or because Vegas would favor you. I 608 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,519 don't care. I don't care. It's not how sports work, 609 00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:16,759 and that's not how I want college football work. I 610 00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:20,079 want college football to remain weird and wonderful and quirky 611 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,920 and a bit uneven, because that's where the magic happens, 612 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,559 right in those disparities. Again, I mean, you said TCU Michigan. 613 00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:31,960 There's billions, not billions whatever. There's plenty of examples from 614 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,079 which you choose kind of reinforce that point. 615 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,599 Speaker 4: Are you surprised that the committee put in SMU over. 616 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 2: No because where they ranked SMU last week and how 617 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,640 the game played out, they had to. 618 00:30:43,839 --> 00:30:45,799 Speaker 5: I know, I'm not talking about the analytics and the 619 00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:48,000 metrics and all that. I'm just saying like you're actual, 620 00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:49,960 like in your heart of hearts when you were sitting 621 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,079 down watching the selection show when they said and with 622 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,279 the last seed coming in at number eleven, it will be. 623 00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:00,039 Speaker 2: To be fair. Brett McMurphy broke it right as the 624 00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:03,160 show started, which was very funny, But there was still 625 00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:06,000 something in the back of my head that was like maybe, 626 00:31:06,079 --> 00:31:07,400 but I know, but there was still something in the 627 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,440 back of my head that like, maybe Murphy's like got 628 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,839 bad info. Like I was still thinking like last year, 629 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,440 that I could see that Crimson tide a come up 630 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:17,880 once again. 631 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, And so I didn't. I didn't see Brett's report 632 00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:23,440 before that. So I was watching it like piz Man. 633 00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:26,000 I was watching it. He probably thought he was like 634 00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:28,079 doing good too. I was watching it live, and I 635 00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:31,039 fully expected to see that Alabama A on the screen, 636 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,319 like and I know, like all the metrics, all the 637 00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:36,039 analytics and where they were and SMU and the job 638 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,480 they did in the a SEC Championship game. I thought 639 00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:41,519 SMU should get in, but I fully expected to see 640 00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:44,119 the Alabama A. And so Katie and I are sitting 641 00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:46,920 there watching it, and when I saw the pony. 642 00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 4: Pop up there, I was like oh be no way exactly. 643 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,559 I think probably what I said. 644 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 5: Calmed down put the I think I said, they don't 645 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,839 put the ponies in. It surprised me, like even though 646 00:31:58,359 --> 00:32:01,000 I thought, based off the data that we had, it 647 00:32:01,079 --> 00:32:02,200 was probably going like it. 648 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,799 Speaker 4: Well, I'm not probably going. 649 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 5: To be it should have been SMU based off where 650 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,240 they were, how they played that game, where Alabama was. 651 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,559 But I did think that Alabama was gonna get the 652 00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:12,440 benefit of the doubt. 653 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they did not. And again, Alabama is just 654 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,759 an extreme example of a conversation that we'll have multiple 655 00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:23,880 times in this thing when we pick a team at 656 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,039 large to get in the last spot. It's gonna happen 657 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,440 every year. It's definitely more extreme this year because it's 658 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,559 been the team for the past decade and a half 659 00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:35,000 that's in the conversation. But this will happen every year. 660 00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:38,279 But guess what again, if Alabama gotten in and SMU 661 00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:41,200 gotten left out, I wouldn't felt bad for SMU either. 662 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,039 It's it's the last spot in the playoff, Like, I 663 00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:48,880 don't care. Okay, they're functionally even whichever two teams you're 664 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,960 gonna be choosing from. So it is what it is. 665 00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:54,599 I'm just excited for this tournament as a whole to 666 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,440 get to take place. All right, when we get back, 667 00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:02,160 maybe maybe talkable say the LSU to the textest ball, 668 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,799 keep it locked right here on OGB. 669 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Off the bench. 670 00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:13,039 Speaker 10: Frosty the snow Man, What is it? 671 00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:13,519 Speaker 4: John? 672 00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:17,799 Speaker 10: He had be solcome. 673 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: Back to sports talk? Maybe off the bench. 674 00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 10: Frosty the snow Man is a very tale. They say 675 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,839 he was made of snow, but the children know Hall 676 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,559 came to nine one day the most demands magic in 677 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,160 that old silk, and they found But when they placed 678 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,119 it on his head, he began to dance around here. 679 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 2: What's up, y'all? Welcome back the snow Man, OTB talking playoffs. 680 00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:52,279 You know we got some talk about. But it's gonna 681 00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:53,880 be hard for me to get out the playoff right away. 682 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,000 Just so pumped for it. You know, my toxic nature 683 00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:02,240 dictates though, Jake, what's that? I think I'm cheering for 684 00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:05,839 little old Clemson. I don't even know how I got here, 685 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,880 but I can just feel it. Hey wouldn't be Hey, 686 00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:10,039 what if you're in first?

Then they keeps saying Damo 689 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,159 can't win, Davo can't win. Well, looking look at looking 690 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,440 at old Clipson.

I mean, come on now, did 702 00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:52,480 you see what that's like? 703 00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 6: You know who else had twelve people? 704 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:54,119 Speaker 4: Buy? 705 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,639 Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly exactly right around this time of year too. 706 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:00,880 You know, let's go. 707 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 3: But likes. 708 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,760 Speaker 2: Look to be okay. To be clear, to be clear, 709 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,400 I'm cheering for Clemson against the big dogs of course. 710 00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:17,280 No no, no, no no, no no no no. This is 711 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,760 not about Texas. This would be about Clemson. No no, 712 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,360 this would be about Clemson rolling through them. Then maybe 713 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,639 like Oregon or Ohio State like I'm talking about, I 714 00:35:26,639 --> 00:35:29,039 would out of the big dogs, the big brands. I 715 00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:33,320 think it would be deeply funny if Clemson, and especially 716 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,400 in this day and age where everything's shifting and becoming 717 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,800 more and moral and more more money driven, if the if, 718 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,280 the if, the Clemson Emperor were to strike back from 719 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,559 the grave. Although no, look man, I like, yeah, that's 720 00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:50,119 what I'm saying. 721 00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:51,760 Speaker 6: But I can't get on board. 722 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 2: But I like underdogs. I mean, you know, my number 723 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,840 one thing the bullet is Indiana obviously. 724 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 5: Okay, Well by the metric though that you used for Clemson, right, 725 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:01,960 you gotta listen. 726 00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 4: You got a god fearing old coach. 727 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,639 Speaker 5: I want you to go out there and just play 728 00:36:04,639 --> 00:36:07,039 some bald then you should be going for Boise States Boys. 729 00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:08,599 Speaker 2: And I like the under I've just said it. I 730 00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:13,960 like boys. I got no problem Boise Broncos and Mustangs. 731 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,760 A horse on horse, you know, little donkey po. 732 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,039 Speaker 8: I gotta credit Jake on this one, right, James have 733 00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:23,840 been on this guy all year. I gotta credit him. 734 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,480 I gotta go with him. Scattaby, that's the team I'm 735 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:28,840 pulling for. 736 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,119 Speaker 4: If I was like, hey, you can pick the national champion. 737 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 8: Kenny Dellingham thirty four years old, I mean they had 738 00:36:36,039 --> 00:36:38,440 a point five percent chance to win the Big Twelve 739 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,159 coming under the year. 740 00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 5: I wonder, I wonder what the odds and maybe the 741 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,400 father well he's not probably up right now, but if 742 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,159 he was, like what that was for them to win 743 00:36:47,199 --> 00:36:49,280 the Big Twelve before, that's a good question. 744 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,119 Speaker 2: I'll say this about Scataboo. There are a few things 745 00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:58,480 that make me believe in fate or destiny or maybe 746 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,960 that we're living in a simulation or an idiocrasy. As 747 00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:08,960 much as watching cam Skataboo be crowned Big twelve WWE 748 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,320 Player of the Game and also Monster Energy Player of 749 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,000 the Game and be given a giant WWE belt with 750 00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:21,880 to celebrate on stage. I mean, that is just fantastic stuff. Also, 751 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,679 when they cut to scataboo parents and you can see 752 00:37:23,679 --> 00:37:27,480 that both of them had sleeve tattoos, you knew where 753 00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:28,360 it all came from. 754 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 5: I had a lot of people asking, he is not 755 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,079 my sixth child, but he can be adopted. Maybe maybe, 756 00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:38,440 I mean, if you need to do that, we can 757 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:38,679 do it. 758 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,039 Speaker 2: Chat was very impressed that you made it from the 759 00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:45,800 game to the SEC Championship on time. I'm very proud 760 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,000 of you. 761 00:37:46,159 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, he is a dog and he's not just. 762 00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:55,079 Speaker 5: He's not just okay, well, I mean he's you know 763 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,880 this guy, he can run over people. He's probably gonna 764 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,960 run a four eight. He's none, no, no, no, Like he 765 00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:04,480 is super athletic. He has some of the best balance 766 00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:09,159 that I've seen, just kind of and he'll like a 767 00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:11,000 steady he'll hit somebody and then kind of like go 768 00:38:11,079 --> 00:38:13,000 three steps sideways, but then go full speed. 769 00:38:13,199 --> 00:38:18,079 Speaker 2: Bro. That's that that spin off the hit into cutback on. 770 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,519 I don't know if his power. I can't remember what 771 00:38:19,559 --> 00:38:21,800 type of running play it was, but I mean he 772 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,400 had a ton of these runs, but there was one 773 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,760 in particular, the spin off the hit into cutback in 774 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,920 that was just it was unreal scataboo really on a 775 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,159 national stage. And then doing the Heisman every touchdown was 776 00:38:34,199 --> 00:38:34,960 excellent as well. 777 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 4: All right, I appreciate the hustle there. 778 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh yeah, Well, trying to get his name in 779 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:40,280 New York. 780 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 5: Why not again, because like there's a lot of people 781 00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:45,000 that and this is this isn't a shot like it 782 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,960 at any the Southeast, the Northeast, the Midway. There's just 783 00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:52,840 a lot of people that don't watch football west of Texas. Yeah, 784 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,599 and you might not know who he is, and like, 785 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,480 so last year, Scattaboo used to come in. He played 786 00:38:58,519 --> 00:39:00,119 running back obviously, but he would come in like and 787 00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:03,039 a bunch of wildcat situations. And there was so many 788 00:39:03,079 --> 00:39:06,440 people that hit me up on Twitter. Wait, I thought 789 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,239 that guy played quarterback. I'm like, no, that was wildcat 790 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,760 situations last year when they were kind of desperate. 791 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,679 Speaker 4: He's in fact or running back. 792 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 2: Obviously, there's any state it had one hundred and one 793 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,320 preseason odds to win the conference. Seesh, all right, when 794 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:25,480 we get back, more to me off the bench. Go 795 00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:30,159 to trash rangers dot com.

Uh look, yeah, Clemson can absolutely be Texas 822 00:40:51,679 --> 00:40:56,159 around one. Let's be clear, we don't really like Texas 823 00:40:56,199 --> 00:41:00,000 against We don't have a great temple size against good teams, right, 824 00:41:00,119 --> 00:41:01,599 I mean they lost both games to Georgia and now 825 00:41:01,599 --> 00:41:03,920 they were close, and granted with how good Georgia is, 826 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,679 you imagine they played that well like they should be 827 00:41:05,559 --> 00:41:07,079 to be Clemson. But then again, I mean like that 828 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,880 and he was close. The A and M game was 829 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,960 not close. The score kind of was, but also Clemson's 830 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,360 offense significantly better than A and M's and their defensive. 831 00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:17,679 So I mean, I don't know. I think it's gonna 832 00:41:17,679 --> 00:41:20,159 be really good game. Tennessee Ohio State gonna be a 833 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,840 really good game. Here's one thing I would say about 834 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,480 the playoff committee. I think it is wild that you 835 00:41:26,519 --> 00:41:29,920 have sitting ads in presidents on that thing, Like, how 836 00:41:30,039 --> 00:41:33,440 is ward manuals supposed to make because Tennessee and Ohio 837 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,400 State were basically even resume wise, how is he supposed 838 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,920 to make an objective decision on who gets the home 839 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,760 game there? Like that's crazy And you could say, oh, 840 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,360 but he TOAs for Hose, we have what I'm saying, 841 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,960 bias works both ways, right. Does he want to be 842 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,880 perceived as being against Ohio State? Does he want to 843 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,159 help out the Big ten? Because as Jake very solidly 844 00:41:53,159 --> 00:41:54,719 point out, when you're talking aout this commercial, like you 845 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,760 make more money, right, So it's it's it's crazy to 846 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,639 me that you can have But the funniest part is, 847 00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:03,159 but they do hang their hat at the door guys. Okay, 848 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,639 they literally hang a hat at the door as they 849 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,599 enter the room. You know what, the most shocking thing 850 00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:12,079 about the video of the playoff committee a lot of 851 00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:15,079 people saying, like, you know, no snacks, no beer, no 852 00:42:15,159 --> 00:42:20,599 thing like that. Uh no, no pets, no computers. Yeah, 853 00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:23,960 are they all just taking mental notes? I thought that 854 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,800 was pretty wild because I do this job and I 855 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,559 have to write some down or I will not remember 856 00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:30,159 the points I want to make. Maybe they have legions 857 00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:32,519 of people taking notes underneath them they can ask anything to. 858 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,400 But it was a bit shocked that there were just 859 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:35,440 no no pets out. 860 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 5: There there that whole scene.
