1 00:00:01,159 --> 00:00:03,919 Speaker 1: It is the Big twelve SEC breakdown time. What else? 2 00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:06,320 Stotin Bridge is here with you with a comprehensive look 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,400 at the Big Twelve and the SEC. 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 2: We begin each week. 5 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: As we do with our hot takes and tom My 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,000 hot take, I'm actually going to go back in time, 7 00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:27,359 and I feel like I owe an apology to the nation, 8 00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:34,359 to our viewers for my trust the comfort level I 9 00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:37,920 put in into Ole Miss. This is not necessarily a 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,439 hot take. This is just being a man admitting when 11 00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:45,399 I'm wrong. I was very wrong about Old Miss. I 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,079 thought that they had a chance to go to the 13 00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:50,759 SEC Championship game. I thought they were the best team 14 00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:54,280 nobody was talking about. Even when I lost to Kentucky, 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,759 I said, oh it's not over. You know, to one loss, 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,560 Kentucky's not a bad team. And then you lose the 17 00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:04,680 LSU and you look at the schedule the rest of 18 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,879 the way for Old Miss. What's ahead? They play Oklahoma 19 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,480 next week. They should win that game at home. Should 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,879 But then you still got Arkansas, you still got Georgia, 21 00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:19,680 Florida and Mississippi State. There's more losses coming. I'm sorry, 22 00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,000 I hate the minute, but I whiffed on Ole Miss. 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,480 Here and maybe it's not necessarily I whiffed on old miss. 24 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:30,319 I think more so ole miss let me down. I 25 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,640 think that's the more accurate way to describe this. I 26 00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:34,439 was high on them and they let me down. That 27 00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:37,439 that's that sounds more like it. That sounds better, Tom. 28 00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: That does sound better. I will say I will, I 29 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:47,359 will jack my own cock here. Oh oz right, I 30 00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:48,840 have no problem saying it. 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,719 Speaker 2: I said, I said last week. 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: We disagreed in a lot of games, and I think 33 00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:56,840 for the most part, I came out right. I did 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,640 say I would take lsu Uh. It was a night game. 35 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:02,959 I was pleasantly surprised. 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: Uh. 37 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 3: And I tell you where we were wrong, or at 38 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,319 least I was wrong. I won't speak for you, but 39 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,039 I'll speak for me. I thought, oh, you was going 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,719 to give a better I thought, oh, you was going 41 00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:18,439 to give a better run than what they did. And 42 00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:20,240 and there was a couple of plays, a couple of 43 00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:24,240 key plays in that game in the second quarter that 44 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,400 fucked the whole game. Uh, specifically the two fumbles back 45 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:38,039 to back, one on Danny Stuntsman gave up for for 46 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,159 a dude who has an upside down uh, Longhorn on 47 00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:46,639 his thigh. The dude, The dude gave up. He could 48 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,080 have pushed that whatever Bolden, He could have pushed Bolden, Golden, 49 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,719 whoever the fuck it was out of the end zone 50 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:56,759 off that ball when they fumbled at the one and 51 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,919 it rolled out, and then and that ball didn't didn't 52 00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:04,639 really didn't speed up like I thought it was gonna go. 53 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,439 I thought I was gonna be out of the back 54 00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:11,280 of the end zone. M Danny Stutzman looks at the 55 00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:15,400 receiver kind of goes, well, yeah, and he can have 56 00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:17,039 it if he wants to, if he wants to run 57 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,680 quicker than me. He kind of gave up. I thought 58 00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:22,439 I was a little bitch. Move there you go. On 59 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,800 the next possession, Hawkins, uh, well, even you could, you 60 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,960 could call it three You could technically call it three fumbles. 61 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,719 Dude gets tackled at the one. Hawkins fumbles, and then Tatum, 62 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,159 who is very promising, like I think true freshman, fumbles 63 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,439 and then at that point the game was over. 64 00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:52,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, it got it out of hand quick. I mean 65 00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:55,400 you were there, baby, Yours didn't look good to begin 66 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,840 the game. Took him a while to get going, and 67 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:01,479 then it just all fell upon or fast for OHU, Yeah, 68 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,240 I mean that that Owe You team's got a lot 69 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,439 of issues and a lot of people are going to 70 00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:08,199 point to Seth Platrell, and I think Seth Latrell sucks. 71 00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: But I think would you put Jackson Arnold in? I'm 72 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:17,079 I'm I'm interested to see was was it right not 73 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,279 to flex in Jackson Arnold? 74 00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:25,079 Speaker 1: Again, I don't think it really matters. I think they're 75 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,480 both not the answer. I think that OU needs to 76 00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:33,000 spend whatever it takes to go get a portal quarterback. 77 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,959 My dad and I were already kind of thinking about 78 00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:39,040 who could Owe You go by next year, and the 79 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,759 name that we came to the conclusion of was they 80 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,839 need to go spend the money to get Rock Obec 81 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,079 to leave Iowa State and comby o U's next quarterback 82 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,079 next year that needs to be their guy. 83 00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:52,079 Speaker 3: Do you think you would you think you would leave 84 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,079 Matt Campbell if they make the playoff? 85 00:04:55,319 --> 00:04:58,439 Speaker 1: I mean, why would you play for a Big twelve 86 00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:01,079 school and not play what not turn and turned down 87 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,079 the opportunity to play in the SEC or the Big Ten? 88 00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: I mean no, no, I understand that, but I mean 89 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,040 if well, I mean Iowa States, I always state very well 90 00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:14,480 could win the Big Twelve in Arlington. 91 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: And Rock Quebec. 92 00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: Is what a junior he's like sophomore junior, Yeah, something 93 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,399 like that. 94 00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 3: I can't keep up with like a rich rich or sophomore. 95 00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:29,639 Probably yeah, yeah, I think he's. 96 00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:34,639 Speaker 2: Gonna want to run it back. I mean, well, here's 97 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,920 another weird deal. Here's another conversation. 98 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: Is Iowa State kind of into one of those like fuck, 99 00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:43,480 everybody's fucking each other and we're just kind of in 100 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,000 a weird position where no one's looking at us. 101 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Oh, I think everybody's looking at them now. They're they're 102 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,759 a top ten team in the country. They're undefeated. They're 103 00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:54,199 gonna get everybody's best effort from here on out. Their 104 00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:57,199 schedule is pretty favorable. I think they're in good, really good. 105 00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:59,319 Speaker 2: I mean they're in good hands. Don't know who's highway 106 00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:01,879 stay play this weekend. I like, that's what I'm saying. 107 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,079 I mean, uh, where do they lose? 108 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: I would state this week they play UCF at home, 109 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,879 and then the rest of their schedule is pretty favorable. 110 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,800 They get TACK at home, they play KU at Arrowhead, 111 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000 which would be a home game. They get Cincinnati, they 112 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,639 play at Utah, and then k State at home. I 113 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,240 think Iowa States in good shape. 114 00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: I think they lose to KU and ahead. 115 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:41,439 Speaker 1: I wish he With that said, Tom, I know that 116 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,720 I didn't necessarily give a hot take, but I do 117 00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:47,680 kind of have one For the next game. I want 118 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,079 to focus on the game of the week in college football, 119 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,560 arguably the game of the year, Texas and Georgia Saturday 120 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,560 night in Austin. By the way, if there was one 121 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,639 place could be this weekend, it'd be Austin, Texas. I'd 122 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:04,680 love to go to this game and then go to 123 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,800 the F one Race on Sunday. I hope those Europeans 124 00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,199 that are in town for the F one Race end 125 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,839 up fighting a way to go experience this SEC environment 126 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,680 in Austin Saturday night and be like what the hell 127 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,160 is this and just see their minds be blown, like Wow, 128 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,800 this is American college tackle football, Like what on Earth 129 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,120 am I witnessing. I want to see some of those 130 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,480 Europeans like my predictions this weekend, Tom, I got Texas 131 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,800 and Max for staffing to get it done in Austin 132 00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:39,439 this weekend. My hot take of where I'm going with 133 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,240 this though, is, Tom, I feel like this is a 134 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:47,399 must win game for Georgia. I think that if Georgia 135 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:52,519 loses the Texas, they will not make the college football playoff. 136 00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:57,240 This is this is an elimination game for Georgia because 137 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,560 if they lose this and you start to look ahead 138 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,600 for what the Dogs have going forward, there's no reason 139 00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:07,639 to think that they wouldn't drop another if they let 140 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,279 this one slip away and they're underdogs or five point 141 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,759 underdogs this week, But you think about once it's ahead 142 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:19,920 for Georgia, all right, you got Florida coming up in 143 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,279 a rivalry game. Florida has been playing better as of late, 144 00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:26,160 much to my chagrin. That's a whole another story. You 145 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,600 play at Ole Miss, you get Tennessee at home, and 146 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:33,320 then you got two cupcakes in Massachusetts and Georgia tech. 147 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,960 I would think they would slip in at least one 148 00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:38,639 more if they lose to Texas. And the way that 149 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,879 they have played at the line of scrimmage, they've been 150 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:44,399 getting bullied on the offensive and defensive line, and Carson 151 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,399 Beck hasn't played that great. I think Texas is in 152 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,159 a really good spot to make the playoff. I think 153 00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:54,399 they can clinch a playoff spot essentially if they beat 154 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,480 Georgia here. I think Georgia it might be jover for 155 00:08:58,519 --> 00:08:59,879 them if they can't get this done. 156 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean, and what at that point, what 157 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,039 they have to play for. 158 00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 2: I mean, I think you have to look at that. 159 00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:09,799 Alabama hasn't been playing so hot. 160 00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:13,279 Speaker 3: I think, you know, last week we talked about we're 161 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,919 gonna find a lot about kill and Debora and and 162 00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:17,039 and how they played. 163 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,759 Speaker 2: They kind of had to win at least in the 164 00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:22,879 first half. You're like, Okay, they're gonna go ahead and 165 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:27,360 beat South Carolina to handle it. And then they didn't 166 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,120 get the job done. 167 00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:34,039 Speaker 3: They didn't finish them off, and you're thinking, okay, Well, 168 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,720 if you want to say game of the year, game 169 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,000 of the year right now is gonna be Bama Georgia. 170 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,639 I think that's gonna change this weekend. I think Texas 171 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,320 Georgia is gonna be game of the year. I do 172 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,039 like Texas to win this game. 173 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,799 Speaker 2: It is in Austin. 174 00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:55,039 Speaker 3: But if Georgia does lose this game, I think I 175 00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:57,639 think a lot of Georgia fans say, hey, is the 176 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:01,519 and tell me if we're wrong, you're jones if they 177 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:08,679 lose to Texas. And I don't want to be reactive necessarily, 178 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,759 is a window closing for Kirby Smart and Georgia a 179 00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:13,240 little bit? 180 00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: No, because they're still getting top recruiting classes. 181 00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:18,919 Speaker 2: I mean they are, but still. 182 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: Doing good in the portal. I don't what I'll say 183 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,320 this though. 184 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: Could you see Kirby Smart Dabo Sweeney kind of uh 185 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,360 no nipe line that they Clemson. 186 00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: No, No, I don't see that happening at all. But 187 00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:35,759 what I do see, Tom, is that the way Georgia 188 00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:41,039 dominated the last five years, winning two national titles, playing 189 00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:43,679 in what was it three or four title games, winning 190 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,080 several SEC titles, and all that, the assumption was that 191 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,200 Nick saban his dominance, he was handing the torch to 192 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,120 Kirby Smart, that Kirby Smart was going to take over 193 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,559 the sport and dominate. But I think think from what 194 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,039 we've seen with Michigan winning the title last year and 195 00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,440 then all the parody we've seen this year and George 196 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,159 already losing, Georgia is not going to repeat the Alabama dynasty. 197 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,120 I think Herby's going to win at least two more 198 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,360 national titles, but they're not going to dominate the way 199 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,039 Alabama did. And honestly, that's a great thing. I think 200 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,600 that's good for the sport. I think it's not good 201 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,679 for the sport when we have dominating teams and we 202 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,679 have blowout games in the playoffs and all that. Georgia 203 00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:35,759 is as good as anybody of a program right now, 204 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,120 but they're never gonna be what Bama was under. Save 205 00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:40,200 it and that's okay. 206 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is okay. 207 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: And and you know what, you mentioned it just in 208 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,360 your comment there, and do you know, for the rest 209 00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:53,720 of the country, it's almost like thank fuck. 210 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: And for the sport. 211 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,519 Speaker 1: I think we're all worried about it too. 212 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,759 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, and then you know, I have Bama 213 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,639 after I'll tell you what, after Bama just started laying 214 00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:08,200 the dickery dog down on Georgia in that first half, 215 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,720 I think the whole country was like, oh, are you 216 00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:11,759 fucking kidding me? 217 00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,759 Speaker 2: Like do the rich get really richer? 218 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,799 Speaker 3: And it you know, I know, Alabama ended up winning 219 00:12:19,879 --> 00:12:23,080 that game and and what was right now the game 220 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:29,200 of the year in terms of craziness and and just 221 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,120 electric you know, just the electricity. The whole game was great. 222 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,480 It's in my mind it's the game of the year. 223 00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,919 I don't care if Georgia loses the rest of the games, 224 00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:41,279 it's that's the game of the year. And then you know, 225 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,799 you see Alabama turn around and have the hangover game 226 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:50,279 against Vandy, and then Van Dey beats Kentucky and and 227 00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:53,559 all year we talked about, Okay, the the Big twelve 228 00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:57,919 is going to cannibalize itself, and now we see the 229 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:05,840 SEC finally kind of to start cannibalizing itself. It's worked 230 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,799 out great for us so far. Yeah, I don't think 231 00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:10,600 it's I don't think it's all. I don't think it's 232 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:16,320 Alabama's year necessarily. I don't think it's Georgia's year. By 233 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,879 I mean, we were seeing more parody in the SEC. 234 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: And I think Texas is the team to beat in 235 00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:25,519 college football, but kind of last week, they're just the 236 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:27,759 flavor of the month. At this point, they're the meat 237 00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:31,039 market special at this point in time, I don't think 238 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,679 what I've seen from Texas is significantly better than Ohio 239 00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:35,480 State or Oregon. 240 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,399 Speaker 2: I imagine both in Nashville and loses a May. 241 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, that won't happen, but whoa, whoa, whoa. 242 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,519 Speaker 2: I'd have a heart on sandwich baby. 243 00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: I look at Texas going into this week, Tom and 244 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,759 Quinn Yours. I think it was so important for him 245 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:57,600 to play in that red River game and get that 246 00:13:57,759 --> 00:14:00,799 bad first quarter, that bad first quarter and a half 247 00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:01,679 out of the way. 248 00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:03,639 Speaker 2: Maybe healthy. 249 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:08,639 Speaker 1: Now he heads into this game and you know, a 250 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,960 game under his belt and everything returning at home. I 251 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,879 know they're not gonna have Isaiah Bond, and I think 252 00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:15,759 that's a big deal. I think Bond's a great receiver. 253 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,519 But I think that this comes, this Georgia game comes 254 00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:26,240 at a good time for Texas of not only just 255 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,559 having you weers healthy, but also having a game under 256 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,559 his belt, beating a rival school and to dominate the 257 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,360 way they did. Like, You're not gonna be setting yourself 258 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,919 up for a letdown going into the Georgia game. You're 259 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,240 you're gonna carry the momentum over from the week before 260 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,639 based on the way you dominated. 261 00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:49,919 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, And you know what you saw, Wingo, 262 00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:53,519 you still golden, he said Bolton, he save Jayden Blue. 263 00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:58,000 I'll tell you what I was more impressed with. Watched 264 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,720 in that Red River and you, I said, you were there. 265 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,879 Speaker 2: So the. 266 00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: Main one of the main running backs for Texas this year. 267 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,320 He gets injured what like I don't know, three weeks prior. 268 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:14,039 Speaker 2: To the season opening. 269 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it goes Texas is like, hey, guess what, 270 00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:20,720 we still have Jayden Blue, We still have this other motherfucker. 271 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,679 Uh And yeah, it kind of hurts that the running 272 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:27,480 by that got injured. 273 00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:28,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, that kind of sucks. 274 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,919 Speaker 3: But or Texas and they had Devond Devandre Sweat, they 275 00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:39,039 had Jordan Winnington, they had Jatavian Sanders, they had Exevier 276 00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:42,879 are Worthy, they had they had so many other great 277 00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:47,480 players they had. They legitimately one of the all time teams. 278 00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:49,720 Like if you if you want to think about who 279 00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:54,720 they had and like give us, give us five years. 280 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,759 Devandre Sweat for the Titans right now is flirting with 281 00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:04,039 the defensive Rookie of the Year in the NFL. Exavier 282 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,240 Worthy's already made his presence felt for the Chiefs. Is 283 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:14,320 already what Chiefs are five and zero? Yeah, Xavier Worthy 284 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,639 has already I'm not gonna say won the Chiefs two games, 285 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,320 but he is very at a very evident playmaker and 286 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,879 two of their wins that were close. Yeah, I'm not 287 00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:27,600 going to call him the offensive rookie of the year. 288 00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:31,600 I think that belongs to Jaydeon Daniels. I think Jane Daniels, 289 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,679 it could even be in the top five MVP conversation. Honestly, 290 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,120 that's another conversation for another day. But in terms of 291 00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:47,759 the Chiefs getting Xavier worthy at what the thirty second pick, thirty. 292 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,159 Speaker 1: Twenty eighth, they traded up a few spots. 293 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty eighth pick. I mean he's made his his 294 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,039 no pun intended worthiness felt right. 295 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,879 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just done a good job to replace those guys. 296 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:04,519 They're even better. 297 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,519 Speaker 2: They're even better. 298 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 3: And they have as to the and the defense is 299 00:17:12,279 --> 00:17:15,960 not let up. They get I mean, granted, oh you 300 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:24,079 offense not worth the fuck, But when's the last time 301 00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:25,680 you scored three points? 302 00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:26,079 Speaker 2: Dude? 303 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, uh, you go back to two 304 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:30,880 years ago when they. 305 00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 2: Got or is it stark or are the players that good? 306 00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:37,319 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of both. I think it's a 307 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,839 little bit of both. Yeah, they get they they're clicking 308 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,079 right now. That's a good team. They're fun to watch. 309 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,960 Let's let's talk about this real quick before we get 310 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,640 to the slate. I gotta bring up Cam Rising. Cam 311 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,079 Rise out for the year. Tom's already laughing before I've 312 00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:59,839 even gotten to all this. Eight season eight season of 313 00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:05,839 eligibility potentially available, and all of a sudden, it sounds 314 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,039 like Remember I made this bold prediction the beginning of 315 00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:09,799 the year. I said that I felt like this was 316 00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:12,319 gonna be it for Kyle Whittingham, that he and Cam 317 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,559 Rising we're gonna go out of Big twelve camps and 318 00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:17,559 make the playoff and all that. Now Utah is basically 319 00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:20,759 out of the playoff hunt, and it doesn't sound like 320 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,160 that Kyle Whittingham's going anywhere, and Cam Rising might be 321 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,599 back for another year. I gotta tell you, I am 322 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,200 so sick of Cam Rising. I am so done with him. 323 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,519 He looked horrible the other night against Arizona State. He 324 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:40,680 didn't look like a top quarterback at all. He wasn't healthy. 325 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,319 That Utah team played terrible. They haven't played great all year. 326 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,160 I'm just done with Cam Rising. Go away. I don't 327 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,920 want to see you play an eighth year of college football. 328 00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:54,640 I don't want to see him back at Utah. Go 329 00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:57,680 play in the XFL. He's not an NFL quarterback. I 330 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,200 am so done with him. But I have a bad 331 00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:05,720 feeling he's gonna come back again. Winningham's gonna come back again, 332 00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:08,279 and they're gonna try to put it together one more time? 333 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,599 How many more chances is Cam Riseing gonna get? Just 334 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,079 watch he'll get hurt again next year and go for 335 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,480 a ninth year of eligibility. 336 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,319 Speaker 2: Hit the deal and I read a lot into it. 337 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:25,799 On read it. I think that Cam Rising is done. 338 00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:31,079 Speaker 3: I think they cut. I think that winningham and and 339 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,599 it it sucks. It sucks for him, you know, like 340 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,759 he's older. He think thought he had one more run 341 00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:41,079 in him. I think you give Zach, you give Zach 342 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,039 Wilson the reins. He's He's won you a couple of 343 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,880 I wouldn't say won you a. 344 00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 2: Couple of games. His game managed enough to not fuck 345 00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:49,599 it up. 346 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: He's played better than Cam Rising, right, I. 347 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,759 Speaker 3: Think they walk away from Cam and I think I 348 00:19:57,799 --> 00:19:59,160 think Cam does hang it up. 349 00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: I don't think he. I think they he he Utah 350 00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:08,440 retired him. I don't. And he could transfer. Let's say 351 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,039 he could go to fucking Tulsa. 352 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: It could go to you. He'd be better than anything they. 353 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,839 Speaker 2: Got, right Like, I don't. I just don't think he's 354 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,079 gone to right. 355 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,599 Speaker 1: Like what you think we've seen the last of Cam 356 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,480 Rising in college. 357 00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:24,599 Speaker 3: I do think we have seen the last of Cam Rising, 358 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,559 and if it's in and if Gundy, this is another story. 359 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,200 So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna touch on it 360 00:20:32,279 --> 00:20:36,240 too much until you won't let me. But I think 361 00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:40,759 we've could could have seen potentially the last of bowmen. Uh, 362 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,480 because there's there's no Bowman's not going to the league. 363 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,720 Came in, won the last whatever. If Rising came in 364 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:55,680 and threw for one hundred touchdowns and zero interceptions and 365 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,039 a million yards, he's not gonna go to the league. 366 00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: No one's gonna take it. 367 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to the big twelve sec slate this week. 368 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,920 We'll run through these real quick. Let's start with Friday 369 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,119 Night BYU taking on Oklahoma State. I know os U 370 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,079 hasn't played well. BYUS a nine and a half point favorite, 371 00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:15,519 but even with BYU at home on a Friday night 372 00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:18,960 and things being spooky and provo all that time, and 373 00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:24,200 I know Reslof has played very good, but Oklahoma State 374 00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:27,240 still got Olli Gordon. They can still run the football, 375 00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:31,480 and BYU cannot take this Oklahoma State team lightly. As 376 00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:34,240 bad as they've looked, they're sitting at three and three. 377 00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:38,000 It sounds weird to say, but this is a trap game. 378 00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:40,640 For BYU. If Oklahoma State can find a way to 379 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,680 run the football, they'll have a chance. 380 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,759 Speaker 3: Well here's the deal, Jones. They're not gonna find a 381 00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:51,519 way to run the football. That's just that's I mean, 382 00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:55,559 you know they're not gonna do it. It is in Provo. 383 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,480 They're gonna have the cougar tills in their fucking ice 384 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,920 cream truck out front. You know, I did think about 385 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,880 going to this game at the beginning of the season. 386 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,400 I'm so glad I buy a flight to the East 387 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,960 coast instead of the West. I still do want to 388 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,960 go to Provo one day to drink their bars dry. 389 00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:21,200 But even front of the show, Billy Locke, I said, 390 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,880 how much are we going to lose by this weekend? 391 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 2: He goes thirty five. 392 00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 3: Now I know BYU this morning was an eight and 393 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,200 a half point favorite. 394 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,759 Speaker 2: Now it's moved to nine and a half. 395 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 3: I will be in, like I said, I will be 396 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,519 in a betting state this weekend. I am considering putting 397 00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:44,440 one hundred dollars down on BYU money line. I think 398 00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:47,400 that's I think BYU money line is a lot safer 399 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,279 if I put one hundred dollars down on BYU, covering 400 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,200 nine and a half means that by ten, I feel 401 00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:59,799 like I can end up disappointed at losing one hundred. 402 00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 2: By you know, she would still up losing the. 403 00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: United State Cincinnati eleven am on Saturday. As much as 404 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,039 I've been humble and admitted how much I've been wrong 405 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,359 throughout this segment, Tom, I was very right about Arizona State. 406 00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:19,519 That was probably my take of the year, is how 407 00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:21,119 right I was about Arizona State. 408 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 2: I think I told Arizona State as well to be. 409 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,799 Speaker 1: Utah, Well, I mean I've been right about Arizona State 410 00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:30,920 all year. That's what I'm saying. 411 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,079 Speaker 4: Fair. 412 00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: Now they go on the road play Cincinnati. Early kick. 413 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,440 Cincinnati has been better than advertised. They're four and two. 414 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,799 Cincinnati's a five point favorite here. If you're looking for 415 00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:47,200 a good bet this weekend, I think Arizona State down 416 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,359 the road. I like what they're doing. I know that 417 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,559 they're playing a black quarterback, that Sims is going to 418 00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:56,680 get the start, that Levit's out, but Scataboo. Scataboo might 419 00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:58,880 end up being the Big twelve offensive player of the year. 420 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,759 That that dude's fun to walk. She's like a poor 421 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:02,000 man's Toby Gerhart. 422 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:08,759 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he's like a skinnier Mike alstop brother. 423 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got some wheels on him too. My goodness. 424 00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:17,359 All like Arizona State, k you taking on Houston games 425 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,759 that arrowhead. KU's a five point favorite. These two teams 426 00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:24,079 are bad. But man, it's gonna be a new low 427 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,400 if Kansas loses to Houston. They just they just can't 428 00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:29,720 lose this game, right, You got to stop the bleeding 429 00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:32,200 at some point. These are ones you can't lose to. 430 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,799 Kansas got to find a way to win. 431 00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, they really, I mean honestly, they really do. And and. 432 00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:42,759 Speaker 3: I mean and at this point, if if KU doesn't 433 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,079 win this, then you can just kind of you might 434 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,079 as well just go ahead and ride off. 435 00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 2: The you know, a potential Bowl BAWL game, right. 436 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: Pretty much have to win out to go to a 437 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,640 bowl game. At this point, they're one and five. 438 00:24:56,839 --> 00:25:00,279 Speaker 3: So I mean, yeah, what I mean, if you had 439 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:01,880 to bet, what do you think is gonna happen? 440 00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:05,599 Speaker 1: Oh? God, I look at the rest of their schedule here, 441 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,319 Case State's a loss, Iowa State's a loss. B why 442 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,880 use the loss? Colorado's a toss up, Baylor's a toss up. 443 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,640 I mean, what maybe four wins, maybe five. I mean, 444 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,200 it's not looking good Colorado taking on Arizona. Colorado gave 445 00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:25,640 Case State all they could handle last week. Arizona has 446 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,839 not looked good. They've been up and down. They're three 447 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:33,160 and three. The game is at Arizona, two very good quarterbacks, 448 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,920 Noah Fafida and Shador Sanders. I think this is gonna 449 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,119 be a high scoring affair. Tom I would not have 450 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,920 said at the beginning of the year, but I know 451 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,440 Arizona's favored by three. I think I lean towards Colorado. 452 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you know, Colorado took the Purple Cats 453 00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:57,960 to the limit in the hell of a game, and 454 00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,839 you know, Arizona. 455 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,039 Speaker 2: Up and down, up and down, up and down. 456 00:26:05,519 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be shocked if if if Dion and and 457 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,640 crew pulled us off, it's gonna say a lot about, 458 00:26:13,799 --> 00:26:17,200 you know, Colorado, if they do pull this off. I 459 00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:21,759 think I think that Colorado is a little bit mentally 460 00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:23,000 tougher than Colorado. 461 00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 2: But I don't I don't think that's saying too much. 462 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,599 Speaker 1: In Arizona, I mean, yeah, yeah, right over unders fifty 463 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,440 eight and a half hammered the over in that game. 464 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,519 That's gonna be a shootout. 465 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:35,519 Speaker 2: Yeah. 466 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Tayler taking on Texas Tech tom Tech Rise. They're 467 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,920 five and one, they're at home. I know it's a 468 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,519 rivalry game, but there's no reason why Tech should lose 469 00:26:47,559 --> 00:26:47,960 this game. 470 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,839 Speaker 3: Well it's crazy. Look at look at Look at your boy, 471 00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:00,160 Joey McGuire, he's like, my boy. No, not necessarily, but 472 00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:04,079 you know, you have a team that should have lost 473 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,039 to Abiline Christian and then your fans get drunk and 474 00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:11,400 then run into the Abline Christian bus and that whole 475 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,559 shit show that happened. Well, they've kind of bounced back 476 00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:19,359 from that, and Tech has looked a lot better. Tech 477 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,519 looked like the dark horse we thought they were after 478 00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:26,960 that game. Yeah, and I don't think they have any 479 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,440 problem beating Baylor this weekend. 480 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: Iowa state number nine team in the land, six and 481 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,599 oh taking on ucfter at home. It's a night game. 482 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,440 UCS played terrible as of late. No reason why this 483 00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:41,319 game should be close. I think Rocko backing company. They're 484 00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:43,359 going to go off. I like I would stay big. 485 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,079 Speaker 3: All right, I do too. I told you last week. 486 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,400 When I tell you last week, I said, you see 487 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,640 a fucked me. They fucked me and they made me 488 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,519 look like a fool. They made me look like a fool. 489 00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,799 I said, I will not pick them again. I was 490 00:27:56,839 --> 00:28:00,440 still not picked them. They gus males on may look 491 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,640 a like a mall full. 492 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't play kJ Jefferson last week either. 493 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:06,599 Speaker 2: I won't do it again. 494 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: KSE State on the road at West Virginia. It's a 495 00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:12,759 night game. I know some weird stuff can happen in 496 00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:16,839 Morgantown at night. But k State nice road win against 497 00:28:16,839 --> 00:28:20,440 Colorado last week. Now you play West Virginia. K State's 498 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,759 slight favorites. I think k State they're the much more 499 00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:27,359 talented team, They're the much better coach team. I like 500 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,920 k State by about ten plus. 501 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 2: Here, I think I like k State by about fifteen. 502 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,640 K State. 503 00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:35,079 Speaker 3: KSE State's getting in that role, baby, They're getting in 504 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,599 that groove. They're getting in that groove. I I mean 505 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,480 Chris climbing, Baby. I like the groove they're getting in. 506 00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:48,680 You get a tough winning boulder at night. We talked 507 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,000 about the game last week and how tough they would be. 508 00:28:51,079 --> 00:28:53,640 Who do we see when we see that? We would 509 00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:56,680 would we see an Avery shit job? Or we would 510 00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:00,960 would we see an Avery masterclassy. 511 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,079 Speaker 1: Uh, you know they're running the football well with Gindons 512 00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:05,759 and company. 513 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I think Casey has something to say. 514 00:29:09,559 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: By the stock TCU and Utah. Last week twelve game, 515 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,079 real quick. Utah's at home. This is an old rivalry game. 516 00:29:16,119 --> 00:29:18,319 These two teams don't like each other, first time they've 517 00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:22,240 met in a long time. I don't need the team's 518 00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:25,960 playing that great, but Utah is at home. I lean 519 00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:29,279 towards Utah, but not by a whole lot here, Tom. 520 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,599 Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna go with TCU. I'm gonna 521 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,480 go with the purple team again. Okay. 522 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 3: I think I think that Utah is having some identity issues. 523 00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: I think you know, I don't think they can ride 524 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:44,680 the ship. 525 00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to the SEC slate now. Miszoo taking on Auburn. 526 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,640 Miszoo had an ogly loss A and M a couple 527 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,640 of weeks ago, blowout UMass last week. Auburn isn't a 528 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,559 very good team. Missoo's at home. I think Missoo wins 529 00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:05,400 this one by at least a couple of touchdowns. 530 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I know that that Missoo had some 531 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,119 trouble with Texas A and M. I don't think Massoo's 532 00:30:14,119 --> 00:30:17,279 a bad team. Uh you know, they could have had 533 00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:19,640 a bad game. I feel like missou here. 534 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,519 Speaker 1: Oh you taking on South Carolina, owe you one and 535 00:30:24,599 --> 00:30:29,039 a half point favorites. South Carolina has played better than 536 00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:30,880 I think any of us thought they would. They're three 537 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,920 and three, They're on the road in Norman Shane Beemer's 538 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,680 first game back. I think this plays out similar to 539 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,880 that Auburn game for Ou Tom, where Hawkins makes enough 540 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,799 plays the defense keeps him in it. I don't think 541 00:30:44,839 --> 00:30:47,920 it's pretty, but I think oh you wins ugly wins 542 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,400 an ugly game. They you know, low scoring, and they 543 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,400 make just enough plays. I like, oh You at home. 544 00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:03,119 Speaker 3: I think South Carolina is better than Auburn. I've seen 545 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,559 Auburn or I've seen South Carolina almost beat LSU and 546 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,799 a game that they should have. I'll take South Carolina here. 547 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,119 Speaker 1: Alabama and Tennessee both teams in the top eleven. They 548 00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:17,559 each have a loss at five to one. And it's 549 00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:20,359 interesting about this game, Tom. Neither one of these teams 550 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,720 are playing good football right now. Alabama's struggling, Tennessee's been struggling. 551 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:28,480 Tennessee the home team. I've been going back and forth 552 00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:31,960 in this game all week, I think I lean towards Alabama, 553 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,920 but I don't say that with a lot of confidence. 554 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,119 And I think it's a playoff elimination game too. I 555 00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:38,240 think the loser this game is probably out. I lean 556 00:31:38,279 --> 00:31:42,279 towards Alabama. I like mill Row right now more than 557 00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:45,279 I do Nico. I think Nico's talent quarterback. He's got 558 00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:48,000 a bright future. But I'll take the veteran over the 559 00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:51,400 freshman and Nico here. I lean towards Bama. 560 00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I leaned towards Bama as well. I think I 561 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,160 think you're absolutely right. I think it comes down to experience, 562 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:03,759 and I think that I think Alabama has a slight 563 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:10,200 advantage here. If you wanted to put Canla de Boor 564 00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:13,759 and Josh Heipel in a vacuum, I think you could 565 00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:15,119 kind of count. 566 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:15,799 Speaker 2: Them as even. 567 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:19,799 Speaker 3: In this case, I will go ahead and roll with Bama, 568 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,960 because you know what, it's Bama, and what did you know, 569 00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:25,240 Tennessee already had. 570 00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:29,519 Speaker 2: Their win of you know, they their five year win. 571 00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:31,880 So I'll take Bama here. 572 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: Texas, Texa A and M plays at Mississippi State. Their 573 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,559 seventeen point favorites. A and M's playing pretty good as 574 00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:40,920 of late. I think A and M is gonna win 575 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,279 just fine to L s U against Arkansas. That game, 576 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,079 uh rivalry game, We've seen some classics between those two 577 00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:55,400 gonna be played in Fayetteville. Total trap spot for L 578 00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:56,039 s U. Here. 579 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,119 Speaker 2: I give me, give me the Hogs. 580 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go well s you, But I don't say 581 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,559 that with a lot of confidence. I think not Smeyer 582 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,039 makes enough plays to win. 583 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 3: You have, you have a big let you have a 584 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,920 big hangover win. Maybe not a big not a super 585 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,319 big hangover, but you beat Old miss and Death Valley. 586 00:33:16,759 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: You go into Fayville, whoa big say you here? 587 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:23,839 Speaker 4: Uh? 588 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 3: You know old old Sam's He's gonna be like, I 589 00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:30,079 think I'm gonna drink some old cold beer. 590 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,799 Speaker 1: Vandy takes on ball state credit to Vandy. The win 591 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,160 over Alabama, the win over Kentucky. They're four in TEA. 592 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,440 I mean the schedule gets a lot tougher after this. 593 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,319 I think they're gonna find a way to get to 594 00:33:45,319 --> 00:33:47,319 a bowl game and get the six wins. I think 595 00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:51,160 it's a great story. And you know their their quarterback 596 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:59,119 uh has been such a uh pavia. I I think 597 00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:01,799 it was Jordan Rod the other day, Paul him the 598 00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:04,839 best quarterback in the SEC right now. I don't believe that, 599 00:34:05,519 --> 00:34:08,719 but that's a testament to just their success. How good 600 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,440 he's been. Best quarterback they've had since probably Jay Cutlers. 601 00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:15,480 We talked about Georgia Texas earlier. Both of you and 602 00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:19,800 I like Texas, Florida and Kentucky. The games at Florida, 603 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,639 I'm going with Kentucky. I like Mark Stoops more than 604 00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:27,440 I do Billy Dappier by a lot. I think coaching matters. 605 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,119 Coaching makes the difference. Is this the game that finally 606 00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:33,800 gets Napier fired? Or does he last another week after this? 607 00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:34,639 Speaker 4: No? 608 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 3: I think I think his game against Tennessee, as close 609 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,599 as it was, saves his job for one I think, yeah, 610 00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:46,360 I think he's done enough for right now, save his 611 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,519 job for one more year? 612 00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 2: Right here, right they still lose. 613 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,559 Speaker 1: Here you have it. That's our Big twelve, he SCC 614 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:59,280 breakdown for this week, Mortacomb, stay with us, trying us 615 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,480 now all the program this week.

First off, let the folks know a 638 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,599 little bit more about you. I mentioned some of the 639 00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:13,679 things you're doing. You're you're one of the hardest working, 640 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,880 busiest guys out there right now. I mean you got 641 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,239 basically no days off right now? 642 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:19,519 Speaker 4: Man, yeah, something like that. 643 00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 5: I'm trying to get to kirk Curves Street's level where 644 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,760 I can get a private jet to take me from 645 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,119 one venture to the next, and then have somebody. 646 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,039 Speaker 1: Please don't take a dog everywhere. I'm so sick of 647 00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:33,559 that dog. I love the dog, no jealousy. That dog 648 00:36:33,639 --> 00:36:36,199 got leukemia. Now, I don't find it at coincidence. You're 649 00:36:36,199 --> 00:36:39,679 not supposed to take dogs from coast to coast every weekend. 650 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:40,239 Imagine that. 651 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 4: No, that's a that's a fair rebuttal. But man, the 652 00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:46,199 ladies love the dog. He's always with the cheerleaders. I 653 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:47,920 give him props there. 654 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,119 Speaker 5: But uh yeah, a little bit working on one O, 655 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,000 five to three of the fans so excited to be 656 00:36:53,079 --> 00:36:56,760 on the air the Cowboys flagship. Obviously, we're for now 657 00:36:57,199 --> 00:37:00,079 still reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers for a few 658 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:03,760 more weeks and then I'm being busy with Lockdown Podcast 659 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,239 Network doing Lockdown Detroit stuff, So trying to stay plugged 660 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,639 in and and like you said, you know, I love 661 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:11,360 just being a. 662 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 4: Part of it all. 663 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 5: And I hate to use the cliche the grind, But 664 00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:17,599 you know what, it doesn't feel like a grind when 665 00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:19,920 it's it's things you're passionate about and that you enjoy 666 00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,719 so love hav them being plugged in on one O, 667 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,719 five to three of the Fan in Dallas, and then 668 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:28,119 with my Roots and my Michigan Roots in the State 669 00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:32,079 of Michigan and Lockdown Podcast Network with Lockdown Detroit. 670 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,679 Speaker 1: Best of both worlds and also doing some high school 671 00:37:34,679 --> 00:37:35,360 football too. 672 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,639 Speaker 4: This Yeah, that's right. 673 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,599 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you he's staying busy. He's doing a 674 00:37:38,599 --> 00:37:43,519 great job. Raybout. Let's talk now about Georgia and Texas 675 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,679 and one a matchup that we had this weekend. I 676 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,599 saw Texas in person for the first time last week 677 00:37:49,639 --> 00:37:53,800 as they dismantled my Oklahoma Sooners. They get quinn Ewers back, 678 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,519 and I'm of the belief RBA that the timing of 679 00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:01,199 this game, I think is very already good for Texas 680 00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:04,480 because George is not playing great football, for one. But 681 00:38:04,639 --> 00:38:08,360 on the flip side too, you come off a win 682 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,280 against a rival where you dominated and you got when 683 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,920 you weres back one hundred percent. After the first came back, 684 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,559 he got off to a slow start and then started 685 00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:21,639 to find his footing here. I think this is a 686 00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:24,639 great position for Texas to get this win against Georgia. 687 00:38:24,679 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 5: What say you, hundred percent there's something to be said 688 00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:30,840 about the you know, kind of getting your sea legs 689 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,119 under you a little bit and knocking that rust off. 690 00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:37,039 And I think the Texas Longhorns as a whole, and 691 00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:40,280 when you were specifically had that luxury. No disrespect to 692 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,159 Oklahoma Sooners, They're just not what they've been in in 693 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,280 years past, and so you have kind of that that 694 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,639 window to essentially rev up the engine and get to 695 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,159 top speed so that you're thriving on all cylinders against 696 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,960 a team like Georgia. That I mean, yes, they had 697 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,360 the one lost to Bama, but they certainly came back 698 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,559 strong in that game and gave Bama everything they bargained for. 699 00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:05,119 And I think that was one of those games whoever 700 00:39:05,159 --> 00:39:08,239 had the ball last was gonna win. But with that said, 701 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,199 I think Texas is a tier above anybody else in 702 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,119 the entire landscape of college football right now, and I. 703 00:39:16,599 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 4: Think they've been that way Obviously. 704 00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 5: The setback injury wise with Quinn viewers will kind of, 705 00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:24,360 you know, maybe slow that down a little bit and 706 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,760 and Arch Manning had the luxury of playing against some 707 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,039 lesser competition, and so I don't think that's necessarily fair 708 00:39:30,119 --> 00:39:32,159 to him to say they took this major step back 709 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:37,079 when ultimately, you know, Arch Manning at quarterback, quin Youwers 710 00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:38,199 at quarterback, they're winning. 711 00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:39,679 Speaker 4: Those games by plenty. 712 00:39:40,199 --> 00:39:42,039 Speaker 5: But go all the way back to when Texas played 713 00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:45,280 at Michigan, and I remember, you know, covering Michigan for 714 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,519 the Lockdown podcast network and trying to tell anyone that 715 00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:53,920 would listen, No, Texas is a level above anybody right now, 716 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,079 and especially the University of Michigan. 717 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 4: And I'm not, you know, necessarily suggesting. 718 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 5: That because they blew the break so off of Michigan 719 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,480 that they can beat anybody. But it has been with 720 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,880 a nice, steady climb for the University of Texas. 721 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,519 Speaker 4: I believe in Steve Sarkasian. 722 00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 5: I believe in really the entire weaponry that they have 723 00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:15,440 offensively that quinn Ewers can distribute the ball to and 724 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,400 I think defensively they just do so much to keep 725 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,679 the opposition off balance and make them uncomfortable that it's 726 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,559 truly a complete football team. And I think the odds 727 00:40:24,559 --> 00:40:27,760 makers have it right. I think Georgia is a little 728 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,760 bit of a step below. And I don't remember exactly 729 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,360 how long it's been since Georgia was this big of 730 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,480 an underdog, but for them to be an underdog, and 731 00:40:36,519 --> 00:40:38,519 granted it's at Texas, so you know, you get a 732 00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:41,039 couple points for being at home. But I think Texas 733 00:40:41,079 --> 00:40:44,079 wins this one, and I think Texas is in fact 734 00:40:44,119 --> 00:40:47,480 the best team in all of college football with quinn Ewers, 735 00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:50,719 and you believe in everything that Steve Sarkasian has going 736 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,280 at the University of Texas. 737 00:40:52,639 --> 00:40:55,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's pretty remarkable. And you know, timing is 738 00:40:55,679 --> 00:40:59,159 everything in sports. And you know when this was announced 739 00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:01,239 that Oklahoma and Tech since we're going to the SEC, 740 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:06,800 everybody said, Okay, Oklahoma has been a fantastic program. They 741 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,880 got their work cut out for them, but hey, they're 742 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,719 they're in a good spot. And then obviously if the 743 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,000 coaching change with Lincoln Riley and bre Inventables, things go downhill. 744 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,880 Texas was just a mess at the time. Now what 745 00:41:18,079 --> 00:41:22,320 sark has done building this thing year after year and 746 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,119 this transition feels like it's been seamless for them in 747 00:41:25,159 --> 00:41:29,000 the SEC that they basically just changed the conference banner here. 748 00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:31,239 What they've been building year after year to get to 749 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,400 this point. It's a testament I think right back to 750 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,559 their head coach, Steve Sarkisian, because it wasn't Tom Herman 751 00:41:37,639 --> 00:41:40,599 doing it, it wasn't Charlie Strong. I mean, they they've they've 752 00:41:40,639 --> 00:41:43,280 done this the right way and in this nil era. 753 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,679 I mean they've they've taken advantage of every opportunity in 754 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,639 front of them to be sec ready for this moment here. 755 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,119 Speaker 5: You're absolutely right, and you kneel it with the timing part, 756 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,360 and you know things will play out. That's that's the 757 00:41:56,679 --> 00:41:59,840 ultimate cliche. But I don't think Tennessee is as good 758 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,679 as we thought. I don't think Alabama is as good 759 00:42:02,679 --> 00:42:04,199 as we thought. And we thought there might be a 760 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,039 little bit of a step back. But Texas is entering 761 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,519 enters the SEC the year Saban leaves, and you know, 762 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,199 there's still plenty of. 763 00:42:12,199 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 4: Football to be played. 764 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 5: And Georgia sometimes can't get out of their own way 765 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,360 with some of the cultural issues that are going on 766 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,679 at the University of Georgia and Texas, it's almost like 767 00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:26,199 they've they've seen the opportunity there, and to their credit, 768 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:26,760 they have. 769 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,119 Speaker 4: How about this cliche. 770 00:42:28,159 --> 00:42:31,639 Speaker 5: They've grabbed it by the horns and really really made 771 00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:34,519 the most of it. And I'm you know, I'm not 772 00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:36,880 fan boing by any means, but it's been really, really 773 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,719 impressive to see how they've made this transition, and you 774 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,360 couldn't chalk up a better way to enter their first 775 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,840 year as members of the Southeastern Conference, where we know 776 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:48,800 it just means more. 777 00:42:49,159 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: It does. With that said, when you look at the SEC, 778 00:42:53,039 --> 00:42:56,000 you mentioned Texas at the top, a lot of good 779 00:42:56,079 --> 00:43:02,440 teams with Bama, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU just to name a 780 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,880 few here. Who is Texas's biggest challenge? You said, you 781 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,440 have them on a tier by themselves, But who do 782 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,559 you think can potentially get in their way the best? 783 00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:15,199 Because I look at those other teams and they all 784 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,440 have some obvious flaws. It seems even this weekend against Georgia, 785 00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:22,519 this is the worst offensive and defensive front I've seen 786 00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:24,559 of a Georgia team in a long time. They're not 787 00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:27,239 playing like Georgia we've grown accustomed to the last. 788 00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 5: Few years, right right, You know, when you think of 789 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,960 Georgia football, you think of guys that just manhandled the 790 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,599 opposition in the trenches and at. 791 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 4: All three levels. 792 00:43:35,519 --> 00:43:38,599 Speaker 5: And I still there's something to me where you look 793 00:43:38,639 --> 00:43:40,679 back and granted it was it was Clemson and it 794 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,119 was the first week, but Clemson has gone on and been, 795 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,760 you know, a very formidable team since then. Now, granted 796 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,199 the level of competition hasn't been the same, but if Georgia, 797 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,239 it kind of feels like it depends on what Georgia 798 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,920 we see. If we see that Georgia from week one, 799 00:43:56,039 --> 00:43:59,320 I still think they represent the toughest tests for Texas. 800 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,280 But you mentioned it's it's such a deep conference, and heck, 801 00:44:03,639 --> 00:44:06,199 I mean, we're talking about a conference. 802 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 4: Where Vandy beat Alabama. 803 00:44:08,119 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 5: You know there is an element of that unexpected nature, 804 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,199 Arkansas beats Tennessee, and you know, I'm not quite ready 805 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,679 to close the book on the lane Kiffin left at 806 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,000 Ole Miss Rebels, even though they let one get away 807 00:44:22,039 --> 00:44:22,599 at Death. 808 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 4: Valley and LSU too. So I still think Georgia is 809 00:44:26,559 --> 00:44:28,000 at the top of that list. 810 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 5: But it's not like there's any type of game where 811 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,719 you just take the gas pedal off and put it 812 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,519 in cruise control, because the Southeastern Conference just doesn't. 813 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 4: Allow you to have that luxury, and so they. 814 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,280 Speaker 5: Have to bring it each and every week, which going 815 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,960 back to kind of the original point of all of 816 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,199 this is you and I both believe in Steve Sarkisian 817 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,559 and what that coaching staff had and the level they 818 00:44:50,599 --> 00:44:53,599 have this team playing at that I don't see it being. 819 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:54,679 Speaker 4: A problem for the Longhorns. 820 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,679 Speaker 1: Last thing one on this rabo on the college side 821 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,639 of things, obviously Texas Georgia is the main event, But 822 00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:03,920 what games are you looking forward to watch it? I 823 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,960 know one of the teams you cover, Michigan there has 824 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,480 got interesting tests with Illinois. 825 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, Michigan Illinois afternoon game. Illinois. 826 00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 5: What they what they've done has been has been really 827 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,400 really impressive, and they've they've had some close calls, and 828 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,639 you know, I think the rest of the landscape just 829 00:45:21,679 --> 00:45:26,360 continues to be intriguing through the Big ten. You know, 830 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,719 I know a lot of people are talking about what 831 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,960 Indiana has been able to do. They're sneaky good that 832 00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:34,920 it's just the whole landscape of the twelve team playoff 833 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,159 just allows you to have a conversation about more teams. 834 00:45:38,199 --> 00:45:41,559 I think that was ulultimately the goal coming in and 835 00:45:41,559 --> 00:45:44,000 and heck, I'll even make it local for a second. 836 00:45:44,039 --> 00:45:47,599 The the ACC's wide open with SMU having a couple 837 00:45:47,679 --> 00:45:49,960 of big wins, and I don't necessarily think they're gonna, 838 00:45:50,159 --> 00:45:50,400 you know. 839 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,320 Speaker 4: Rise to the top and be able to be a 840 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:53,880 team like Clemson. 841 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 5: And and compete for an ACC title, But the big 842 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,280 twelves wide open. We got a number of undefeated teams 843 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:00,840 in the Big two well, and then on the other 844 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,559 side you got coaches who are are really fighting for 845 00:46:03,599 --> 00:46:06,000 their job. I look at that West Virginia Kansas State 846 00:46:06,079 --> 00:46:08,639 game and I am of the belief that if Neil 847 00:46:08,679 --> 00:46:10,880 Brown in the West Virginia Mountaineers don't find a. 848 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 4: Way to win that game, that he might not last 849 00:46:13,039 --> 00:46:14,199 through the entire season. 850 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,079 Speaker 5: And obviously kant Kansas State has sustained a level of 851 00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:18,840 success this year. 852 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,599 Speaker 4: They had that late win over Colorado last week. 853 00:46:21,599 --> 00:46:24,199 Speaker 5: And it's just it is so fun the way this 854 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,000 twelve team playoff has opened up the entire landscape. 855 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,519 Speaker 4: And i'ven't even talked about Miami. What can Ward is doing? 856 00:46:31,639 --> 00:46:34,559 Speaker 5: So I know we could we could go on and 857 00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:37,199 on for hours and hours, but the fact of the 858 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,320 matter remains, I am a huge, huge proponent of the 859 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,079 twelve team playoff because it just opens everything up. I mean, 860 00:46:44,119 --> 00:46:47,199 what the Oregon Ohio State finished from the other night 861 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:48,760 was absolutely electric. 862 00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:51,119 Speaker 4: Probably not if you're an Ohio State fan. I mean, 863 00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:52,280 what was Will Howard doing? 864 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 5: But I certainly don't think Ohio State's out of it 865 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,400 by any means. And what Dan Lanning's doing at Oregon 866 00:46:58,559 --> 00:47:02,039 is is kind of I wouldn't expected, but I felt 867 00:47:02,039 --> 00:47:04,960 like he, just as Texas has made that transition into 868 00:47:05,039 --> 00:47:07,760 the SEC, I felt like Oregon could sustain a level 869 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,039 of success in the Big Ten, and we've seen that, 870 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,000 and Penn. 871 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:11,800 Speaker 4: State's still unbeaten. 872 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,519 Speaker 5: So I'm just gonna name every single program out there. 873 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,320 And I'm sorry program, I've been watching too much McAfee lately. 874 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 4: Program, But you know, in all seriousness, man, it is 875 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,199 it is. It's been so fun. 876 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,320 Speaker 5: And you know me, I'm not the biggest fan of 877 00:47:26,639 --> 00:47:29,239 the portal and nil and everything, but you take that 878 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,119 out with the twelve team playoff, I think college football 879 00:47:32,159 --> 00:47:34,519 is in a great place. The pageantry is alive and well, 880 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,559 and these games still mean a whole hell of a 881 00:47:36,599 --> 00:47:39,119 lot even though they're the you know, the doubter said, well, 882 00:47:39,159 --> 00:47:42,239 the twelve team playoff, might you know, take away from 883 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,000 the meaning of some of these games and it just 884 00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:47,840 it frankly hasn't and I think as any college football 885 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,679 enthusiasts could could recognize that this season has been a 886 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,079 ton of fun and we're kind of just getting started. 887 00:47:54,519 --> 00:47:57,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no question about it. The playoff. I can't wait, 888 00:47:57,639 --> 00:48:00,440 but certainly enjoyed the journey to get there from what 889 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,199 we've seen so far.
