that pink or yellow or whatever gatory that you were having.

36
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:45,879
I just finished my body armor. I'm good to go.

37
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,760
I'm ready to talk a little football.

38
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Well.

39
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: You know that reminds me if Casey was here, he

40
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:53,359
would have a he would have an interesting he would

41
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:55,840
have an interesting drink of choice for us as well, have.

42
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,959
Speaker 4: His Power Aid or purple Power Aid whatever. Clemson there

43
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,799
dabble with helping me.

44
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,799
Speaker 1: Sometimes he has like some type of weird bottle tea,

45
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:08,120
which as a as a South Carolina resident, I should appreciate,

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,960
but I don't really like it in the bottle like that.

47
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,360
You know, if you guys, if you guys haven't made

48
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,159
the connection, Casey who has been on our show several

49
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,240
times and really held it together with Craig over the

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,639
course of the summer. Is the producer over at the

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,560
message board Genius podcast NBG.

52
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: Tell us about how.

53
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: Your account came to be and what's the process of

54
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,280
scouring the message boards to give us the best to

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,319
give us the best content.

56
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: Well, in terms of the account, I mean, I just

57
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:39,800
kind of started I would find kind of wild stuff

58
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,360
on message boards and kind of thought it would be

59
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,360
funny to share it see what sort of reactions I

60
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,319
would get. I think I told the story one time

61
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:48,199
that some of the first ones ever did with like

62
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,840
NBA message board, which are pretty wild, but they don't

63
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,080
quite come come of close to being as wild as

64
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,840
a college football message of course. So I kind of

65
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:03,439
just started there and then started getting some traction. I

66
00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:06,039
think that when they can't really started getting attractions. It's

67
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,520
kind of been followed me at one point and I

68
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:11,280
kind of tweeted out that he had followed me, and

69
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:14,919
then from there on it kind of just, uh, really

70
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,879
started getting traction. And then somewhere along the way I

71
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,360
met Who's and Casey and decided to kind of start

72
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,000
a podcast. Started talking about all this stuff, and you know,

73
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:28,960
it kind of took off. I don't know to what

74
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,360
extent it took off, but it's it's out there.

75
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,439
Speaker 2: I would say, judge about the guests that you have,

76
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:36,280
it took off.

77
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,719
Speaker 1: Okay, you guys, you guys have incredible content and it's

78
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,120
an enjoyable listen from a football standpoint and from a

79
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:46,879
comedic release standpoint, just with just with your cast of characters,

80
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,039
but then also the laundry list of guests that you've

81
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:52,759
been able to have on has been really really impressive

82
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,439
and cool to listen to you guys interview them and

83
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,000
kind of kind of pump them to get some different

84
00:03:58,039 --> 00:03:58,599
takes on things.

85
00:03:58,599 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: It's been really fun.

86
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well thanks. You know, I was sometimes surprised.

87
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,240
I would ask one if they want to come on,

88
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,280
and then when they would agree to come on, I

89
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,240
would be kind of like, really, you're really going to

90
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:11,199
come on with it? So, yeah, we've been pretty lucky.

91
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,719
I've been shocked by some of the people have agreed

92
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:14,360
to come on.

93
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 4: To fight Frank Yeah, no, that you guys always do

94
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,920
a great job. But what I love is like, and

95
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,480
I think this is what we try to do a

96
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,680
little bit with with our show, but definitely when you guys,

97
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:26,560
you can tell like it's first and foremost about like

98
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,519
that friendship and it's just going back and forth. It's

99
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:32,279
sharing your level ball and then it's just sharing some

100
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,040
some great stories and obviously when those guests get involved

101
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:37,439
and really put it together. So you know, like I said,

102
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,759
it's one of my favorite listens, whether it's you know,

103
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,199
comes out Wednesday or Thursday or whenever that guy decides

104
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,759
hit that button coming out, So you know, we're definitely

105
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:47,079
definitely always looking forward to that.

106
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it, guys. It's been it's been fun.

107
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,120
It's been been interesting, but it's a lot of fun.

108
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,839
I quite enjoy it. I got to meet a lot

109
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,720
of good people doing it.

110
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: We love it.

111
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: Hey, you know, I I'll say this last thing and

112
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,279
then we're going to jump into actual ball. The thing

113
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:05,600
that I appreciate most is just the convenience factor, and

114
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,519
I think that's that goes for a lot of people

115
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,920
because it would take me so long and I can

116
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,120
only imagine how many hours you've spent. It would take

117
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:15,519
me so long to to just coll through all of

118
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:19,639
the message boards to find these uh, these crazy fans

119
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,560
which the passion is what really makes college football better

120
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,720
than anything else in terms of the sports world. And

121
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:28,240
so with that being said, let's turn our attention to

122
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:31,800
week eleven in the SEC. We are an SEC focused podcast,

123
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,199
and so we want to we want to.

124
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,439
Speaker 2: Look there a little bit. The meltdown is something.

125
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:40,639
Speaker 1: That you talk about frequently, and we can only imagine

126
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,040
that meltdowns have been have been happening. Uh in Gainesville,

127
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:47,519
in Athens, in Baton Rouge.

128
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: We wait, something happened in Athens.

129
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,439
Speaker 1: Craig covers Georgia and he's trying to be He's trying

130
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,240
to push it off right now. But of the three,

131
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:00,199
which one do you feel like is the is the

132
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,360
worst fan base meltdown between Florida, Georgia, and LSU.

133
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: Well, it's I would take Georgia out of the equation,

134
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:12,519
believe or not. So it would either be out of

135
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,720
LSU or Florida, And I mean I would I would

136
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:23,120
probably man at a time, I would probably say Florida.

137
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:26,560
But at the same time, if anybody's ever been justified

138
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,000
to have a complete and total meltdown, it would be Florida.

139
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,319
After the last week that they've just had collective lea

140
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,759
with the announcement of you know, Napier coming back, and

141
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,800
then you had the golden stuff that was going on

142
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,399
out there, and then I mean they just went into

143
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,360
Austin and got absolutely destroyed. I mean they didn't. I mean,

144
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:52,600
they didn't look like daven Blog on the same field

145
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:57,000
as Texas for most of that game. So I mean

146
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,240
there was was probably worse, but it's hard to them now. LSU,

147
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:05,240
on the other hand, you know, it was a pretty

148
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,480
bad meltdown there too, but I don't think they're quite

149
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:09,839
nearly the position that Florida is.

150
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,319
Speaker 4: It seems like in Florida, like everything that went on

151
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:16,759
with in Gainesville last week, it was like this, like

152
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:19,079
you know what could possibly get you know what what

153
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,519
could possibly get worse? Like it just seemed like one

154
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,199
more like fire was coming after another, and you almost

155
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:29,439
have to wonder with everything that went on, the Strickland

156
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,160
get fired and do we see like this trickle effect

157
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,319
where you know, Strickland comes and says Napiers okay. But

158
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:38,399
then you know, with everything going out with the basketball coach,

159
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600
he's somehow coaching it against Grambling, which I don't understand,

160
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,839
but like, could could you see something where the board

161
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,360
of trustees because you know, they're with an interim president

162
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:51,720
right now, where I wonder if like all three of

163
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,759
them ended up getting booed this year and it just

164
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,920
it's just I don't know if that would do any good.

165
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:02,160
But my goodness, like that was probably about the worst

166
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,759
week possible. I can only imagine what that pr will

167
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:06,480
look like day after day after day.

168
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they Strickland's taking most of the heat here.

169
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,279
Everyone's kind of sick of banging on Napier. Yeah, and

170
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:16,560
so they kind of move on to Strickland, if I

171
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,879
if I'm correct, they don't even have a school president

172
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:19,680
right now.

173
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he stepped down, and I think they

174
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:25,000
have an interim which was the old president, which he did.

175
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,040
I think he's back in because Ben's Yeah, if this is.

176
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:30,519
Speaker 1: Was Strickland, this is why Strickland may release a statement

177
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,120
because it's it's technically his call.

178
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:34,799
Speaker 2: There's no president to step in.

179
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,879
Speaker 3: Right And if you're a Florida fan, do you want

180
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:39,600
Strickland to make the next hire? I mean it seems

181
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:41,960
like like I kind of agree with him that. Okay,

182
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:44,799
you got to start with getting rid of Strickland, because

183
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,440
if you want him picking your next football and basketball coach,

184
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:50,840
which both appear to be imminent.

185
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:51,279
Speaker 4: I would.

186
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: I know they said they were keeping napier, but man

187
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,919
if if the next two games go like they did Saturday,

188
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:01,519
I mean, can you I.

189
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:04,039
Speaker 4: Mean, I don't, I don't know. I don't know how

190
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,799
you do that because they look somewhat competitive. Now, maybe

191
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,480
Georgia was solely complacent, or maybe they were driving too fast.

192
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,759
I don't know what happened a couple of weeks ago

193
00:09:14,799 --> 00:09:19,440
in Jacksonville. Sorry sorry that was me, But like you know,

194
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,840
they look competitive, so you know, so I definitely, I definitely,

195
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:26,240
I definitely could see Florida being a mess. I will.

196
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:28,480
I do have to point out, though you posted something

197
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:34,039
funny earlier. Today, we've been talking a lot about Carson Beck,

198
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,320
and it sounds like the Miami message boards have said

199
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,799
that the Cavendar Twins, who I believe Carson's dating one.

200
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,799
I don't think he's dating both. I don't think Lamborghinis

201
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:48,559
can fit three people, but some are the Cavender Twins

202
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,080
for Carson Beck's trouble. And I just wanted to say

203
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,240
thank you because I've been trying to figure it out.

204
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,480
My editors keep telling me tell me what was wrong

205
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,679
with Carson. I don't know, so it seems.

206
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,519
Speaker 1: Like somebody may have said that on this show. I

207
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,000
don't know last week.

208
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:07,519
Speaker 3: But it couldn't be the offense, the line, or the receivers.

209
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,559
It certainly has to be the Cavender twins this fault here,

210
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:17,159
I mean, because and no college quarterback ever dates beautiful women. No,

211
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:19,799
I'm not sure that has to be. That's the one

212
00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:23,840
common denominator here is that he has a beautiful young girlfriend.

213
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:25,559
So that must be what's thrown it off.

214
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,159
Speaker 1: So when you you said that it has to be

215
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:34,919
between Florida and LSU here, and the beauty of that

216
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:38,159
answer for me is in week twelve we get them

217
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:41,200
matching up. Is that the number one game that you're

218
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,600
watching for meltdowns this week?

219
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,279
Speaker 2: Or is?

220
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,399
Speaker 1: Or are we just going to chalk it up to

221
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,279
LSU's got too much talent against the third string Florida

222
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,120
quarterback and Florida is in full.

223
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:53,399
Speaker 2: Scale spiral and so how much more can they melt down?

224
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,799
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. I haven't looked at the

225
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:59,120
schedule yet, but that's probably when I keep my eyes

226
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,679
on it. If you're a Florida do you want to

227
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,960
win that game. Me, Okay, maybe you always want to win,

228
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,240
but would wouldn't you prefer to go in and get

229
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:11,600
beat by four or five touchdowns to try to put

230
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:12,960
some closure to this thing?

231
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,399
Speaker 4: And I don't know, if you're an l s U fan,

232
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,919
do you want to win that game? Because I guarantee

233
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,240
you the family is probably not too thrilled with mister

234
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,320
Kelly right now and his weird dancing.

235
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: No, but I mean LSU still got a chance, I

236
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,039
mean think an outside chance of making the playoffs. They

237
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:34,159
have two SEC losses, and I don't think that their

238
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,399
schedule to close things out is too difficult. If I

239
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,879
remember right, I mean Florida and who else do they have?

240
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt?

241
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt.

242
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: Okay, there you go. That's it right there, MBG, let's

243
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,639
talk about it. That's what gets So.

244
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:52,759
Speaker 2: I did the math. I did the math. And if

245
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:55,519
we are down the math, if we are down to

246
00:11:55,759 --> 00:11:57,000
the the.

247
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: Six way tie for second place, so let's say Texas went,

248
00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:01,879
Texas wins out and they beat Texas A and M

249
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,039
and Chalk holds the rest of the way. Now, there's

250
00:12:05,039 --> 00:12:09,080
a couple of questionable calls in there, Like I think

251
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,440
there's an Arkansas matchup.

252
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,879
Speaker 2: I think there's a maybe in Oklahoma and.

253
00:12:14,919 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: Mississippi State matchup, But the third tier of tie breakers

254
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:24,200
which we're at, is winning percentage of conference opponents, And

255
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,679
so I worked, I worked all that math out, and

256
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,799
if and if it holds, LSU goes to the SEC

257
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:34,159
championship game against Texas. So Craig thinks that they're gonna

258
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:36,679
lose the Vanderbilt because and to this point, they do

259
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,679
have a problem with Russian quarterbacks. If you look across

260
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,399
the board at what's really giving them fits. You've got

261
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:48,440
Leonora Sellers, You've got Marcel Reid, You've got Milrow and

262
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,559
so now you go in and see what Pabia can do.

263
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:54,080
But I kind of like LSU's chances at this point,

264
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,480
and I think it would be absolutely hilarious if they

265
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,759
wind up in Atlanta after the way things are melting

266
00:12:58,799 --> 00:12:59,519
down last week.

267
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: Well, it kind of went the same way last year,

268
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,679
and last year they didn't make the playoffs, but they

269
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,039
were frustrated with Kelly early on, and then you know,

270
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:12,080
they kind of went on a tear if I remember right,

271
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,720
they kind of went on a tear there towards the end,

272
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:15,879
and everything everything was honey Dory there at the end

273
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,519
of the season with you know, Daniels winning the Heisman.

274
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,200
They finished kind of strong, so yeah, you might see

275
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,799
a repeat this year. But they're not happy with especially

276
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,279
not happy with Kelly right now.

277
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 4: Isn't that wild? Though? It's like, so, Brian Kelly's been

278
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:33,919
nine and three both both both his first years, once

279
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,799
that SEC championship to US, had the Heisman Trophy winner

280
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:40,639
last year. Yeah, and yet we're talking about him getting fired.

281
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: But ridiculous.

282
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous. But it shows what it's like for a

283
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:51,320
program with expectation, because you can't lose to Florida State

284
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,600
twice open the season, and you sure can't lose to

285
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,840
USC like they did to start the year this year.

286
00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:01,919
And like it's just that's the thing about Kelly. Here's

287
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,080
the deal, Like you can't lose forty two to seven

288
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,200
to your biggest rival. You can't bring in the Tiger

289
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,960
King or whatever the tiger was that came in from

290
00:14:12,039 --> 00:14:16,480
Florida and then just get housed in Baton Rouge at

291
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,039
night you hear about how great it is. So it's

292
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,360
like that fit is just not working, and it's you know,

293
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,759
it's just so That's that's why I just don't believe

294
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:28,360
in l she wits. I totally sound like I could

295
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,519
be on the LSU.

296
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,799
Speaker 1: Board of being a hater, but like he's a hater,

297
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,159
don't get it, but he's more of a Brian Kelly hater.

298
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,679
Speaker 3: I'll look at it this way though, if you're an

299
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:40,360
LSU fan in your episode of Brian Kelly, think back

300
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,840
when you hired Brian Kelly, the other two coaches that

301
00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:47,480
everyone they might get with either Napier or Lincoln Riley

302
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:50,519
out of those three, I mean, Brian Kelly seems to

303
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:53,759
be the best of the three, right, you could have

304
00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:54,840
you could have done worse.

305
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: So so let's say that, let's say they do go

306
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,919
to the SEC championship game. I think we're all gonna

307
00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:02,519
p Texas to win that game. So then you have

308
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:06,399
a three loss SEC champion and we're looking at the

309
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,039
final rankings loss I mean SEC, I mean SEC runner up,

310
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,840
SEC runner up, So you're gonna lose the So my

311
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,720
question is I know that game day is is primary

312
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,480
time to watch the boards for for Madness, what about

313
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,440
the selection show? I feel like it's going to be

314
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:28,759
wild to watch it because if l s U or anybody.

315
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:32,480
Any of these two loss teams loses to whoever in

316
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:34,639
the SEC Championship game, what are they going to do

317
00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:36,519
with that team? Are they going to put a three

318
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:39,639
loss team in because because they made it to the

319
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,960
champ game and loss.

320
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: Well, I look at it this way. If you're Alabama

321
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,960
and you've got two losses, would you rather just finish

322
00:15:47,159 --> 00:15:50,080
third and not have to play the SEC Championship game

323
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,039
and not risk getting a third loss?

324
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,399
Speaker 4: Yeah? Georgia, Georgia and Alabama I think are there.

325
00:15:56,679 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: And they are and they are tied.

326
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,679
Speaker 1: I mean they are third when you when you do

327
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,720
the math breakdown, If things hold the way I have

328
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:05,519
it laid out and LSU loses to Vandy, then it

329
00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:06,799
would be bam when that goes in.

330
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:07,559
Speaker 4: Yeah.

331
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: But if you're those two, let LSU go to the

332
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,960
championship game and lose to Texas and.

333
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:12,039
Speaker 4: Then you know, right.

334
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: End up in whatever bottle, whatever bowl game it might

335
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,720
end up in, and you can kind of vacua into

336
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:22,480
the into the playoffs. Yeah. That's then again, I don't

337
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,039
know how many SEC teams are going to make the playoffs,

338
00:16:25,039 --> 00:16:26,720
so you know you can still go in and lose

339
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,559
and make it but there's gonna be so many two

340
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,480
loss teams that don't make the championship game, and you're

341
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:33,320
sitting at three losses. I don't know that it's gonna

342
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,960
be interesting to see how the committee views that.

343
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,039
Speaker 4: All right, I got I got one. I got one

344
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,080
last question for you, mbg Okay, would you rather see

345
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,840
a three loss SEC team in the playoffs or a

346
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:46,200
one loss Indiana team?

347
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: That's really hard because do I think of any of

348
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,080
those three loss SEC teams is better than Indiana? Of course,

349
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:02,559
I mean yes, But at the same time, would you

350
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,240
like to see what Indiana could do? Because maybe we're wrong.

351
00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:08,119
I mean, maybe we're totally Maybe we're over inflating the

352
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,000
SEC a little bit. So yeah, but then all the

353
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:15,799
SEC teams who want Kurt Signetti can get a first

354
00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:18,480
time look at it in the playoffs because that seems

355
00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:20,160
to be the hot name for everybody that wants to

356
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,440
fire their coach. So maybe they'll get a referendum on

357
00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:28,039
Kurt Signetti if they let him in. But I mean,

358
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,400
it depends on if you're doing It's the thing is

359
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,559
the incitivi NCAA basketball tournament. You want the best team

360
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,960
or do you want the most deserving team. Yep, yeah,

361
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:40,640
I mean I don't know, and the SEC's going to

362
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,400
end someone of the s is gonna end up upset.

363
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 4: No, come on, they're so rational.

364
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: I think that the notion that moving from four to

365
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,079
twelve to fourteen to sixteen or whatever we're going to

366
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,720
end up at that the bottom tier was not going

367
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,160
to be upset about who got in who did it?

368
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,640
The twelve versus thirteen debate this year is going to

369
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,440
be nuts, and I think it could be if it

370
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:09,119
hadn't been for Florida State not making it last year

371
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:09,880
as an undefeated.

372
00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: This could be the worst of people that we've ever seen.

373
00:18:12,319 --> 00:18:14,480
But I don't know. That's gonna be hard to top.

374
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: Can you imagine trying to only pick the flour best

375
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,480
teams this year?

376
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 4: No?

377
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: I mean absolutely not.

378
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:23,519
Speaker 4: No, who would you?

379
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:26,079
Speaker 3: Who wouldn't even be I mean, the year's pass been

380
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,880
pretty clear, Yeah, I.

381
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,599
Speaker 2: Mean, I mean, the Florida schools are hot, bright.

382
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's kind of rough week for the Florida, wasn't it.

383
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

384
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,799
Speaker 4: It's tough, I mean, but but you have a point there.

385
00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:43,839
If you were trying to pick four teams with all

386
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,880
the k that's gone on and you have to almost wonder,

387
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:51,480
does that twelve like everybody still having a chance, does

388
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:57,319
that create that more of that fight, more of that uncertainty, Hey,

389
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,799
we still have a shot here, We're going to fight

390
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:01,759
that much more. You know, you start to see that

391
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,599
little scrappy game tals, you know, trying to make that

392
00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:07,960
those moves and stuff like that. Like you know, sir

393
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:10,400
big Spur over here, I'm sure we would go off

394
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,400
about his excel sheet and how South Carolina gets in

395
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,039
or something like that.

396
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,799
Speaker 1: But we have, like ESPN FBI has a fourteen point

397
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:19,440
three percent chance to get in.

398
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 4: Those South Carolina guys, MBG. I don't know how we do.

399
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 3: It, I hear you, but really, I mean, are you

400
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,200
would you feel confident saying that South Carolina wouldn't beat

401
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:31,839
Indiana or.

402
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,599
Speaker 4: One hundred percent? I'm picking South Carolina if we're talking

403
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,160
whether we're in Bloomington, or we're in Columbia or we're

404
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,039
in Atlanta, I'm picking the game cock right now.

405
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. And they're not even really in the picture, and

406
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,599
they're probably as good as most of the teams from

407
00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:50,279
I don't know five on down.

408
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 4: Right, I think the only team I probably wouldn't pick

409
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,160
is Missouri. I think Missouri probably lose to Indiana.

410
00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: Other than we'll take care of that for you this week,

411
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:58,880
and don't worry.

412
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:04,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Missouri doesn't look like they're Yeah.

413
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,759
Speaker 4: No, Dring thinks that they're great. But yeah, that that is.

414
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,599
Be careful, be careful what you're looking at there. You

415
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,119
might have to inspect the diet coach there. If someone's

416
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:15,720
thinking they're.

417
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,319
Speaker 1: Too good, well that's a good board to watch too, yep,

418
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,000
because that that'll be I don't I don't know if

419
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:27,160
there's still like this false hope amongst the fan base

420
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,920
as well that as a two loss, that they really

421
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,039
are going to make a running I may eat these words,

422
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:34,039
but I just don't see it.

423
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:37,799
Speaker 2: I don't think the talent's across the board, but it's quarterback.

424
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't know what Cooks status is and

425
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,839
he didn't really.

426
00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: Think I think. I don't. I don't think it's uh.

427
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,079
Speaker 1: I don't think it's been called out for good, but

428
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:51,240
just based on what I'm hearing from from that way,

429
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:52,519
it doesn't.

430
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,519
Speaker 2: Look good for this week.

431
00:20:54,559 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 4: Ye.

432
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks a lot for being here.

433
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: We really appreciate you coming on and talking about the

434
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,960
meltdowns across the SEC. As much as we love to

435
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,440
talk about the winners, sometimes it's great, as Craig has

436
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,640
experienced a couple of times this year, to just sit

437
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,960
back and what you're talking about and take take that

438
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:19,240
bitter medicine that is a loss, and nothing makes it

439
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,039
feel better then finding somebody else in misery. We know

440
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,160
misery loves company and we can all laugh together when

441
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,599
we check out message Board Genius and see what everybody

442
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,359
is is talking about in their respective world. So we

443
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,240
appreciate you all the work that you do to bring us,

444
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,839
to bring us quality information across message boards in all

445
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,680
of college football. Uh, continue to keep up the good work.

446
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,920
We love the pod, We love everything you guys are doing.

447
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,240
And we're just over here trying not to make Genius

448
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:51,599
of the Week.

449
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,039
Speaker 3: All right, we'll keep we'll keep you off that list.

450
00:21:55,079 --> 00:21:57,920
Thanks for having me, guys. I appreciate us fun. Thanks

451
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,759
a lot, all right, Thanks guys see it.

452
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: Thanks again to MBG message Board Genius himself. Go check

Speaker 2: We would love for you to do that.

456
00:22:14,279 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: If you've been under a rock and you're not already

457
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,960
following him. I feel like every college football fan one

458
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,880
follows that account. We will be back in just a

459
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,799
second with a brand new segment that I think you're

460
00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:27,960
gonna want to hear about. Welcome back to it just

461
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,400
means more football and coffee. I'm Rob Williams. He is

462
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:33,920
Craig McMichael, and we are here. Let's get started, Craig

463
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,480
before we get to my surprise segment for this week.

464
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,400
Before we get to it, let's talk about Billy Napier

465
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:43,200
just really quickly. We touched on him there just a

466
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,279
minute ago. I think that Scott Strickland is betting on

467
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,640
himself because he has no other option.

468
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,759
Speaker 2: I think because they're lacking the president.

469
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,799
Speaker 1: I think that because he made the higher if he

470
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,559
cans Billy Napier, he's essentially writing his own death certificate.

471
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:00,759
Speaker 2: Because the only way for Scott.

472
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: Strickland to pull out of this is for them to

473
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:06,319
actually make it to next year with Napier and for

474
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,359
some of these young guys Lagway and company to come

475
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,640
through and get them back to a winning season. It

476
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,240
is unprecedented what was happening in Gainesville. Three consecutive losing

477
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:20,000
seasons has not happens. It's the forties, the forties.

478
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 4: But but but here's here's the problem that I have

479
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:27,920
is Billy Meapier was famous for saying scared money don't

480
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,720
make money. Correct said that famously Louisiana. Everybody loved it,

481
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:34,920
you know, we all thought it. It was a great quote.

482
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:36,519
We're like, oh, this guy is going to be the

483
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:40,960
next big thing. And the narrative I'm hearing in a

484
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,440
lot of media personalities is, well, hey, listen, the Gator

485
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,680
collective which has had some issues with paying players from

486
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:51,839
from from from from what I remember.

487
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 2: You to your go to your own team and ask

488
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,799
Jadan Mashatta.

489
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:56,279
Speaker 4: Right right, you know Jade and Roshatta would like to

490
00:23:56,319 --> 00:23:59,839
know when his check is coming. But everyone's like, oh, well,

491
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,279
you know all the nil money is and lagway that

492
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,839
freshman and sophomore class. You know they're gonna keep me together, and.

493
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: Like ile money is apparently tied into freshman ass.

494
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:14,319
Speaker 4: Guess what, none of that money is gonna keep any

495
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,319
of those players from the portal because because and this

496
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,920
is this is the thing that that that gets me

497
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:25,359
is you saw the no show in Austin this week.

498
00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:28,640
You can't tell me there's gonna be a bunch of

499
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,759
players not trying to hit that portal come December, and

500
00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:34,240
these guys are gonna leave, And then what's gonna happen

501
00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:38,039
then with Scott Strickland and Billy Napier. What if Lagway

502
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,640
jumps in the portal? You mean to tell me that

503
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:45,759
Miami or Georgia or some other big school isn't gonna

504
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:47,759
throw a couple of bucks at Lagway and say why

505
00:24:47,799 --> 00:24:49,759
don't you come be our quarterback where team that's actually

506
00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:53,440
gonna win? And then what happens? You're gonna get tanked.

507
00:24:53,799 --> 00:24:56,200
What we have seen from Billy Napier is I don't

508
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,519
want to hear about Dan Mullen. And the cupboard was bare.

509
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,000
He bought in two hundred staffers or whatever he did.

510
00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:05,119
He has recruited a little bit, but not to the

511
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:08,759
level that he has expected. And his game management has

512
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:12,759
been poor. And it is ridiculous because what it is

513
00:25:12,759 --> 00:25:16,119
doing is tanking a once proud Florida Gator program and

514
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,279
it is putting them right directly in the sere. So

515
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,079
why keep it?

516
00:25:24,839 --> 00:25:29,319
Speaker 1: And to your point, the biggest argument to keep him was,

517
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,799
or to hire him in the first place, was and to.

518
00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:34,519
Speaker 2: Get rid of Dan Mullen was recruiting.

519
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, the Florida Gators were thirteenth.

520
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:43,599
Speaker 4: Tenth in the sec. Ninth or tenth. I mean it's

521
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:44,039
not good.

522
00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: I'd have to go back and count it.

523
00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:45,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

524
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,519
Speaker 2: Twenty four, they're thirteenth.

525
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:49,319
Speaker 4: Yep.

526
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: Okay.

527
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, twenty twenty three they were also

528
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,720
thirteenth and twenty twenty twenty because they want to be

529
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:01,240
in the top.

530
00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:03,519
Speaker 2: They want to be in the top ten. In twenty

531
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:06,000
twenty two, Okay.

532
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, Florida, I'm still scrolling eighteenth in

533
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,480
twenty twenty two. So's your there's your three classes with Navier, right,

534
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:23,480
twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four. For

535
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:26,359
twenty twenty five, I realize we're a little ahead of schedule.

536
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,559
But it's November, Craig, and everything is early signing day, right.

537
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,759
There is no there is no let's wait till February like,

538
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:35,920
things are getting there. You want to take a guess

539
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,119
where they are for twenty twenty five, anybody.

540
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,599
Speaker 2: Want to take a guess?

541
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 4: Point two forty five?

542
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: They're at forty five.

543
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,759
Speaker 1: They have twelve commits unless he's bringing in the freaking

544
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,960
brinks truck full of players.

545
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,039
Speaker 2: I don't see it. I don't see it.

546
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:55,279
Speaker 1: You better be going to get them in the portal

547
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,680
or something. But to your point, there are good players

548
00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:00,599
on this team that are going to leave. You've asked

549
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:05,720
Georgia and ask Alabama. Even success and money does not

550
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:09,119
keep your whole roster together. And the depth is showing

551
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,480
in Athens right now, and the depth has shown in

552
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:14,839
Tuscaloosa this year. Right when people go down, there's just

553
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,519
not three lines of people behind them.

554
00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 2: Look at look at Clemson.

555
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,319
Speaker 4: Look at Florida's quarterback. I granted it is the third string,

556
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,440
this is a walk on from Yale, this is this

557
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:29,960
and here's the deal. He looked horrible, and I felt

558
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,000
bad for the young kid, a kid. In the first half,

559
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,559
they had no n minus one, they had no one

560
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:37,480
else to go to. They've got nobody else and and

561
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:40,880
that's so to me, Like, that's the thing. I could

562
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,359
see Lagway dipping. I'm surprised he didn't leave at the

563
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,359
end of last year. I know Miami was hard after

564
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,359
him right at the end. Uh, but Miami is gonna

565
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,759
have some money open cam Ward is going to be gone.

566
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,799
Look look for that movement. You know, Florida State's is

567
00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:56,559
going to be looking to make whatever Florida State's gonna do,

568
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,119
Florida State's going to need a quarterback as well. Look

569
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,519
for that. Look for Florida recruiting bat a little back

570
00:28:01,599 --> 00:28:02,480
up for that quarterback.

571
00:28:04,319 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's just let's just put a pin

572
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:11,240
in Lagway because the rest of the roster we need

573
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:12,200
to keep an eye on them.

574
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,319
Speaker 2: But if Lagway goes, you absolutely need to.

575
00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: Check out Borgenius on on X to see what's happening.

576
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:22,799
Or you might just you might just have to go

577
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,559
read the whole boards yourself, because the the Florida Gator

578
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:27,759
message board.

579
00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: Is nuts anyway, yep, nuts uh.

580
00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:35,759
Speaker 1: And And if Lagway leaves in the in the off season,

581
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,759
it's it's gonna be they're gonna burn it all down,

582
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,279
because what reason do you then have to keep napier?

583
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,160
You really have, you don't have one. Now his goose

584
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,640
is cooked. He's gonna be fired next year. They have

585
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:53,200
the same schedule next year, Craig, they just flip the locations.

586
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,519
That's it, all right, Now it's time for the This

587
00:28:58,559 --> 00:29:00,319
is the moment that Craig has been waiting for all week.

588
00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:02,119
Speaker 2: I told him I had a surprise segment. He's gonna

589
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:02,440
love it.

590
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,279
Speaker 1: I've been waiting to do this segment for a couple

591
00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:06,240
of weeks, and I really feel like it's time to

592
00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:08,240
put it in. And so I know that I did

593
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:10,799
not give you time to prepare. But each week I

594
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:13,960
would love to start taking a moment to talk about

595
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,480
how I was wrong and so and so this segment

596
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,200
is called I was wrong. Every week there is a

597
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,799
moment where we speak something into existence, and it's very

598
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:28,599
easy for us to come back here and pat ourselves

599
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:30,559
on the back, and you know what, we might just

600
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:32,799
be arrogant enough to do that, but I think it's

601
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,640
only fair that we point out the moments and the

602
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,400
statements where we were.

603
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,319
Speaker 2: Wrong as well.

604
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: And so I already have a I already have a

605
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,480
thought in mind for the overall season sec prediction that

606
00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:48,480
I was the most wrong about. I'm gonna save that

607
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:51,200
until the season is over. But I want to just

608
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:54,000
look at last week, and I'm gonna eat a little

609
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,599
bit of crow.

610
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,119
Speaker 2: I did say that I liked Ole Miss. If Trey Harris.

611
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 4: Was back, Tray Harrison life back he.

612
00:30:01,559 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: Was not back and they got it done anyway.

613
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,079
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day I went with

614
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,839
Old miss and my pick group just because it was

615
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,319
it was still a kind of up in the air.

616
00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: But the bigger, the bigger.

617
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,119
Speaker 1: Take that I had, the the one that I really

618
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,480
planted my flag on, cemented my feet in the ground,

619
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,960
doubled down, tripled down, was l s U over Alabama,

620
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,359
and that was that shaped up to be an absolutely

621
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,519
atrocious take, Absolutely atrocious.

622
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: You know. I just went back through and reviewed all

623
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,000
of the.

624
00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: SEC games before we got on and uh, the the

625
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:52,960
moment for me where I feel like it it really

626
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:58,440
it really snowballed on them, and Milroe.

627
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,119
Speaker 2: Got out to a to a great art yep.

628
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: But for me, it's the fourteen to six, those first

629
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,599
couple of possessions where you get two touchdowns versus two

630
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,680
field goals, not being able to capitalize and get into

631
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,240
the end zone early on one of those just kind

632
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,359
of set the tone for the night.

633
00:31:20,599 --> 00:31:21,599
Speaker 2: Sometimes we see.

634
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,319
Speaker 1: Games where the early going is not how the rest

635
00:31:24,319 --> 00:31:27,759
of the game is going to go. You know, for example,

636
00:31:27,799 --> 00:31:31,480
Alabama was up fourteen to nothing on South Carolina and

637
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,559
then that one ended up being really tight, same thing

638
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,160
with Georgia, but to a greater degree. Alabama was just

639
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:41,720
out in front big time. But sometimes Uncle Moe is

640
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,279
going to stand firm with wherever he starts the game.

641
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,200
And so momentum is the key to so much of this,

642
00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:50,839
and it's mental and it's physical, and it's how much

643
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,000
energy you're bringing in all these things and just not

644
00:31:54,079 --> 00:31:57,799
being able to capitalize early. It was clear that one

645
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,000
team was going to have the advantage in that game.

646
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:03,079
And so I'll eat the crow and I will say

647
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:07,759
I was wrong. I was wrong about LSU. I was

648
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:12,400
wrong about Alabama. I was wrong about how the SEC

649
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,160
power ranking should stack up.

650
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 4: But I was wrong.

651
00:32:19,359 --> 00:32:20,279
Speaker 2: LSU's headed to it Lan.

652
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:27,079
Speaker 4: Okay, you're wrong again. So let's let's let's talk a

653
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:32,759
little bit about my dogs. So first series, Dark gets

654
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:37,799
sacked twice. He throws an interception on the third, third play.

655
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,119
He's on the sideline, he's in pain, he's angry. Georgia

656
00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:45,759
goes seven plays, finally scores on fourth and goal. It's

657
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:48,920
seven to nothing. I put in the writer's chat. Looks

658
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,200
like good. George's came to play. Yes, it was excited.

659
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,640
Then Austin Simmons, who bypasses Walker Howard, the five star

660
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:04,279
from LSU love an LSU comes in five or six

661
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:08,720
on the drive, averages ten point seven yards, takes him

662
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:11,920
right down scores and I'm like, oh, to.

663
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: Include a fourth down throat where Lane had the guts

664
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,079
because he's just going to stick to the analytics.

665
00:33:18,079 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter that his backup is in the game.

666
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:21,319
Speaker 3: He goes for it.

667
00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:23,559
Speaker 4: Nope on fourth down.

668
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,839
Speaker 1: And it wasn't particularly deep in Georgia territory.

669
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,839
Speaker 4: No, no, but but but but you know what, Lane

670
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,440
finally did what we waited for. Right And one thing

671
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,559
that I will say I'm right on, because you know,

672
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,240
let's not focus too much on what we're wrong, is

673
00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:44,240
that last year's Georgia game for Old Miss was that

674
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,160
measuring stick of like, hey, we have to change yep,

675
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:50,759
and this this was Old Miss's moment. You know, Jackson

676
00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:53,039
Dart was set after the game. Don't let the Rebels

677
00:33:53,039 --> 00:33:56,799
get hot. Well, that's true, they are. They are right

678
00:33:56,839 --> 00:34:02,599
back in the mix. They have Mississippi State and our sisters,

679
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,880
the poor left on their schedule. It's some someone. I

680
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,960
think it's enough CS team.

681
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 2: I'll I'll pull up the spreadsheet.

682
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 4: Don't worry yeah, you get your spreadsheet of where you

683
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,079
were wrong. But anyway, old missus put themselves right back

684
00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:16,760
into that conversation that went over. Georgia is going to

685
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,920
have a clout and very well, we could be back

686
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,480
to the We could be going back to Oxford. So

687
00:34:22,559 --> 00:34:24,760
Uncle Tony Memphis.

688
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,519
Speaker 1: Tj okay, uh, let me follow up that statement first

689
00:34:29,519 --> 00:34:32,480
of all, because it looks like there's gonna be a

690
00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:33,960
home playoff game in Oxford.

691
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 2: After all, we've got to go. Somebody get us tickets.

692
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,599
Do what we do. We're gonna have to We're gonna

693
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:40,639
have to get credentialed.

694
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: But between now, in the first round the playoffs, because

695
00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:47,039
nobody's getting us tickets, we're trying to do a live

696
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:50,599
pod in Oxford at the Grove covering the Ole miss

697
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:51,119
playoff game.

698
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:55,159
Speaker 4: We will have we'll have we'll have Andy and Ari

699
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,400
on our show instead, like Andy and r will be

700
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,599
on our show before they go on their show.

701
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 2: That sounds it sounds perfect.

702
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,639
Speaker 1: You know what we could be will beat the Marty

703
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,639
m McGee to sec nation for Andy and Ari.

704
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: We'll just we'll just we'll be glad to just tee.

705
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,039
Speaker 4: Him up, tee him up. Anyway. But Yeah, Like I said,

706
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:17,079
I think Old Miss darts back. In the Heisman conversation,

707
00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:20,719
Old Miss put themselves squarely in that conversation.

708
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 2: Had him fifth, had him fifth on my voting.

709
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,639
Speaker 4: This week, he's a little higher on mind, he's up

710
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:26,159
a little higher.

711
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 2: Let him back in there. He's back.

712
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 4: He's back.

713
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: All right? So can I make one statement that you

714
00:35:31,519 --> 00:35:32,800
made me laugh on just a second ago.

715
00:35:33,039 --> 00:35:33,599
Speaker 4: Go for it.

716
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,199
Speaker 1: You said, Old Miss has Mississippi State and our sister

717
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,800
the poor left. That other team they play is Florida.

718
00:35:40,159 --> 00:35:42,239
So that just that just falls right in line with

719
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,960
our discussion over the course of the day.

720
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:49,119
Speaker 4: That was unintentional. I knew it was someone who Well.

721
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: It's not so com Saturday in Oxford.

722
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: They do still have two league games left, but I

723
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,360
would foresee them winning both of those.

724
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: Considering that's at the bottom of the barrel.

725
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 4: All right, what are we all right? So so let's

726
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:02,519
let's let's put a ball on this thing and let's

727
00:36:02,599 --> 00:36:05,559
focus now. Who are we got three match We got

728
00:36:05,639 --> 00:36:07,000
I think three big matchups.

729
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: If you want to call it that, it's a low day.

730
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: And we said that before, and so I'm not gonna

731
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,639
if we rewind in time a few weeks and we

732
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:16,199
had done that.

733
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: I was wrong segment.

734
00:36:17,639 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: Previously it would have been uh for Craig on whatever

735
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,239
week it was that he that he called it out

736
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,119
for being a dud of a day prior to the day,

737
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,800
and then it was the day that I think that

738
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,199
Vanderbilt upset Alabama and we had Masterows, which was week six.

739
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,880
So we do have three games this week that are

740
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,119
really noteworthy. Let's start with Texas and Arkansas. Right now,

741
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:43,440
Texas is the clear Cup favor for me in the

742
00:36:43,519 --> 00:36:46,239
in the SEC, this is Quinn's team. I'll continue to

743
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,679
say that he looked phenomenal against Florida, but a lot

744
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,239
of people can do that. Now he gets Arkansas sporadic defense,

745
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,039
a sporadic quarterback on the other side of the on

746
00:36:57,079 --> 00:36:58,800
the other side of the ball. I really think that

747
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,679
Texas takes care of business. They you know, they are

748
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,679
two score favorite, and so I don't foresee this being

749
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:11,199
a problem. But can Arkansas jump up and bite you.

750
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:15,199
Speaker 4: A two years ago? Uh, Texas went to Arkansas, Yeah

751
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,599
and got Maleywak So like again, I do not expect that.

752
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,360
But it's just one that I'm watching in case someone

753
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,039
gets sleepy there you know, we said that a couple

754
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:26,800
of weeks ago with Old Miss in Arkansas, and I

755
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,559
think Old Miss just scored again against them, so we

756
00:37:29,599 --> 00:37:31,000
know we know that's not gonna happen.

757
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: Number two, What do you got the other the other

758
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,280
ranked matchup or I guess the only or the first

759
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,440
ranked matchup because Tainton, Arkansas is not one would be

760
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:42,599
South Carolina and Missouri.

761
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: And this is again this is also a double digit.

762
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: Favorite for for the game Cocks, and so it appears

763
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,480
there's gonna be no Brady Cook, so you're gonna get

764
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:53,280
Drew Pine again.

765
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: This is a terrible matchup.

766
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: Missouri has beat South Carolina five years in a row,

767
00:37:57,679 --> 00:38:00,280
and all them Eli Drinkquez has not been there for

768
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,400
five years. He's also beaten South Carolina five years in

769
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,920
a row because the year before he became Missouri's coach

770
00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:07,840
he won in Columbia as the head coach at app State.

771
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,599
Speaker 2: So it's been quite a run.

772
00:38:11,039 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: And Eli Drinkwoz loves to run his mouth and he

773
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,280
really runs it when it comes to South Carolina because

774
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,039
he's got a reason to. He's got a lot of

775
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:25,199
confidence and I and I think.

776
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely he would.

777
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 4: I think I think I think that's the stepping stone

778
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:29,800
right there.

779
00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:32,199
Speaker 2: Absolutely would because he is.

780
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: He he is offensively what they need and billiy Napier

781
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:39,320
never has been that. Billy Napier is will much champ

782
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:39,920
on offense.

783
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:43,679
Speaker 4: Yep, No, that's okay. Was there any other games?

784
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,159
Speaker 2: I think that? I think that's about it.

785
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,639
Speaker 1: So we'll just check out the South Carolina defensive line,

786
00:38:48,679 --> 00:38:51,039
see how they can get after Missouri.

787
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 2: We'll make sure Texas doesn't trip.

788
00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:57,039
Speaker 1: And oh we'll be in Athens for a big matchup

789
00:38:57,159 --> 00:39:02,800
between the Dogs and the balls of the game. Really,

790
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,960
as we look at it, as you look at it,

791
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,159
this one is super key in the SEC race. In

792
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,119
my let's see if chalk holds estimation of tie breakers

793
00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:15,760
and putting L s U against Texas, that's assuming that

794
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,880
Georgia wins this game. Now nine and a half point

795
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,960
favorites for a reason, for a reason, the talent.

796
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:23,079
Speaker 2: Gap still exists.

797
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: But as we've as we said off the air before

798
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,519
we hit record line of scrimmage, is a cause for

799
00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:32,639
concern if you're on the Georgia side.

800
00:39:33,039 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 4: Yep, to me, that's this game comes down to two things.

801
00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:41,519
Nico is banged up. The head, it's got maybe a

802
00:39:41,519 --> 00:39:46,519
concussion last week, and Robin said the head is probably fine.

803
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,360
But here's the key for Georgia. This is your season.

804
00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:55,679
You lose to Tennessee, it's over. And here's the two

805
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,199
things that Tennessee does really well. That is also Georgia

806
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,760
kryptonite Tennessee. He has a really good defensive front and

807
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,079
Georgia does not have a very good offensive line right now,

808
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,239
see last week, see the last few weeks. I should say.

809
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:15,440
The other thing is Samson, Tennessee's running back is one

810
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,519
of the best running backs in the country, if not

811
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,760
the best running back in the SEC. And Georgia has

812
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,119
been very susceptable against the run. So ten points. I'm

813
00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:28,079
not sure what Vegas is drinking, but I'm sure sure

814
00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:32,199
as heck believe it's not that coke. But it is problematic.

815
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,360
It is cautionary. We've got uga barstools saying where you're black,

816
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,519
do not wear black. Georgia, you don't do well when

817
00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:43,599
we play black when you were black. The coaching staff

818
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,880
wore back black this year against Alabama and that didn't

819
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,840
go well. We wore black a few years ago against

820
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,800
Alabama that didn't go well. Here's the deal, come out

821
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,960
and just play. Don't be smiling, don't be laughing, don't

822
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,880
be dancing around. Just come out and take care of

823
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:06,519
business because if not, you're going to like the Outback

824
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,679
the Outback Steakhouse Bowl or whatever in Tampa, whatever that's

825
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,800
called now, and it's just going to be a total

826
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,119
disappointment of the season.

827
00:41:14,159 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this question, really really cool. As

828
00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:17,360
we talked about.

829
00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:22,119
Speaker 1: That, we have all these all these two loss teams

830
00:41:22,519 --> 00:41:24,199
and we're about to we're about to move the last word,

831
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,719
and we're going to talk about the difference between uh,

832
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,079
the most deserving and the best. I think is really

833
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:32,039
what that is? What that comes down to. Yep, South

834
00:41:32,079 --> 00:41:35,719
Carolina is on a heater. They're gonna if they went out,

835
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,000
they're gonna be a nine to three football team. I'm

836
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,719
not making an argument for the playoffs, but I am

837
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,920
looking at these two loss teams in the SEC. We

838
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,199
know what they did against A and M L. S

839
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,679
U and and Alabama. Okay, so we know what happened there.

840
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,760
How do you feel like the matchups would would be

841
00:41:54,559 --> 00:42:01,440
with South Carolina against Georgia and against who I'm missing,

842
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:02,239
oh Tennessee.

843
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 4: South Carolina's defensive front, I think is put us together

844
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,880
and what Sellers has done and Rockett Sanders has done again,

845
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,599
I think South Carolina would pose the same problems that

846
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:20,239
I'm talking about with Tennessee. Strong defensive front, mobile quarterback,

847
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,440
you've got a good running back. I think I think

848
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,559
the Dogs would be in trouble with both of those.

849
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,360
You know, I sound like a negative Nancy talking about

850
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,719
the Dogs this year. Something's wrong, something's not working. Staff

851
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,199
changes aren't going to be coming. I'm curious to see

852
00:42:36,199 --> 00:42:39,360
what happens with Bobo. Uh you even have to look

853
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,559
at does Glen Chuman get maybe maybe a different look.

854
00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:48,000
I don't know, you know, I know about tra Travera's Robinson.

855
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,599
Does Boom come back? I'm not sure? Yeah, yeah, so

856
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,760
I think I think I think Boom comes back. But

857
00:42:55,119 --> 00:42:56,880
I think I think I think there's some change here

858
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,440
because I think I think it's time to take a

859
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,000
look at the mirror.

860
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, well the reason yeah.

861
00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: And also we also know what Kinda did against Ole miss.

862
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,239
I think I may have just like blocked that one out.

863
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,000
We didn't mention that. But the reason I asked the

864
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:13,760
question is I think that that's going to come up

865
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:15,079
in terms of.

866
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:17,679
Speaker 2: Not only playoff selection.

867
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: But as we look at SEC teams in postseason play,

868
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,000
as we look at the bowl season, how many still.

869
00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 4: Is still in the year six I don't even know.

870
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,119
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a good question because some of

871
00:43:28,159 --> 00:43:32,119
these new year six balls. It matters, not really.

872
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: Unless I think it matters again for the middle tier.

873
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,320
If you are South Carolina and you finished nineing three

874
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,039
and you can get a double digit win season, which

875
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,400
only happened a handful of times in the history of

876
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,480
the school, that's something noteworthy.

877
00:43:46,519 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 2: Also when you were picked to win.

878
00:43:48,039 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: I think the over under on the season was like

879
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,719
four and a half by Vegas coming into it. If

880
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,639
you can go get double digits, I think that matters

881
00:43:55,639 --> 00:43:56,679
in terms of momentum.

882
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 2: I think it's big for the guys on your team.

883
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm really looking at is like, let's

884
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,199
say you have a nine or a ten and three

885
00:44:04,679 --> 00:44:08,159
SEC championship loser and they don't get into the playoffs.

886
00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:10,840
You got a ten and three or a nine and

887
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,800
three Georgia, you got a nine in three South Carolina.

888
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,320
Where those teams are gonna stack up in terms of

889
00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:19,719
all right, beyond the playoffs, what bowls are gonna take them.

890
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,559
That is a conversation for another day when we get

891
00:44:21,599 --> 00:44:24,559
to that point. But I do think that there's still

892
00:44:24,679 --> 00:44:27,280
a relevancy for the bowl season in terms of how

893
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,760
many teams from the SEC are selected to go bowling.

894
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,840
Not necessarily how they perform, because we know what happens

895
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,159
with rosters and coaching changes and all the things, but

896
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,039
just how many of them get a look and how

897
00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:42,159
many of them are in that that Bowl eligible category

898
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,800
I think also speaks to the strength of the conference

899
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:46,599
because they do have to play each other.

900
00:44:47,159 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 4: Yep, No, I'm right there with you, and and you know,

901
00:44:50,039 --> 00:44:51,960
those bowl ones only matter if you want those games,

902
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,480
because if not, they don't matter.

903
00:44:54,639 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, that's it. But it always just means more

904
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:58,880
in the SEC.

905
00:44:59,239 --> 00:44:59,599
Speaker 2: All Right.

906
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,199
Speaker 1: So I really like Georgia this weekend. I just don't

907
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,840
see it uh happening in Athens with with Tennessee. I

908
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,920
think that Tennessee's offense has been too sporadic. And if

909
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,000
there's one thing that I observed against ole Miss on

910
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,559
Saturday is that although ole Miss seemed to be more

911
00:45:15,559 --> 00:45:17,599
engaged in the football game and was really swarming to

912
00:45:17,639 --> 00:45:21,760
the football, Georgia's speed on defense still really stands out

913
00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:26,360
ole Missus wide receivers hurt Georgia on deep end breaking

914
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,119
routes a lot of posts and and those sorts of things.

915
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,400
But around the line of scrimmage, those same guys that

916
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,320
have the same speed that were breaking breaking in between

917
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,559
the hashes catching balls from Jackson Dark caught balls around

918
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:42,400
the line of scrimmage and tried to get the edge

919
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,440
and they absolutely could not get there in a lot

920
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,920
in a lot of cases. So Georgia's speed still sticks

921
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,840
out to me, and I think that ends up causing

922
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,199
some problems for Tennessee because we know Tennessee is built

923
00:45:54,159 --> 00:45:57,320
to go deep, but if Nico can't be accurate with

924
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,960
the football, then that could be a problem.

925
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: So really it does to your point come down to Samson.

926
00:46:03,159 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 4: Yep, definitely what you got for the last word.

927
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: It is time for the last word, just really quickly

928
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:15,039
here as we anticipate Tuesday's show of revealing this week's

929
00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:18,239
college football playoff rankings. I think it's safe to say

930
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,519
that you know, four of the teams are pretty much

931
00:46:21,679 --> 00:46:23,880
set in terms of where they're coming from. You're gonna

932
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,000
get Notre Dame, your G five, your acc and your

933
00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:30,519
big twelve champs. Now the other eight is gonna be

934
00:46:30,519 --> 00:46:34,280
between the Big ten and the SEC? Do we do

935
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,639
we see this as a four on four even matchup?

936
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,960
Or is it gonna be five SEC versus three Big ten?

937
00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:45,119
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts the six Tuesday not available?

938
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: I think that I think there's gonna be a I

939
00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:51,440
think there's gonna be an SEC argument for six two.

940
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

941
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,599
Speaker 1: Problem the problem is gonna be if if Penn State

942
00:46:57,679 --> 00:46:58,760
doesn't lose again.

943
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is so. I think I think there's there's

944
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,639
your case is the Big tens Flora this year is

945
00:47:04,679 --> 00:47:10,079
Penn State? Indiana again is cute. They almost choke this

946
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:14,519
weekend against Michigan. I think Ohio State probably takes care

947
00:47:14,519 --> 00:47:17,840
of business. Once Ohio State takes care of business, I

948
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,840
think what that does is it opens up from four

949
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,840
to five SEC teams getting in and Indiana becomes that

950
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,960
Flora state of twenty twenty four. I think you get

951
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,519
five SEC teams in AKA. It goes back to something

952
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:36,440
that we talked about. Sorry, Joel Klatt. The SEC has

953
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,679
the numbers, they have the ratings, they have what it is.

954
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,719
The College Football Playoff is just as much about viewers

955
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,480
as it is about getting the best teams. Then the

956
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:48,079
SEC gets five teams, then it will be interesting to

957
00:47:48,079 --> 00:47:50,320
see what five those are. Let's let's wait till we

958
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,920
get there and until we get that, but I think

959
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,559
five teams will have an argument over three or four

960
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:58,039
from the big ten.

961
00:47:59,079 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 2: I completely agree that it could easily slide to five here.

962
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: And I do think that if a higher state beats

963
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,480
Indiana that they're the ones who are left out. If

964
00:48:06,679 --> 00:48:10,000
Penn State loses a second game, an Ohio SAT beats Indiana,

965
00:48:10,039 --> 00:48:10,920
then we're having a.

966
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,119
Speaker 2: Really interesting discussion.

967
00:48:12,199 --> 00:48:14,559
Speaker 1: And I'm going to refer back to my favorite reference

968
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,960
from Ward Manual last week, and I will look forward

969
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:17,760
again this week.

970
00:48:18,159 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 2: The eye test, And we just set it a second ago.

971
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: If you matched up South Carolina, who's going to be

972
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,159
on the outside looking in because of the two losses

973
00:48:28,159 --> 00:48:31,199
to LSU and Alabama primarily if you catch one of

974
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,559
those where we have another team.

975
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 2: That's in this mix for the SEC.

976
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: If you match them up against in Indiana, the eye

977
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,960
test tells us what. Even though Indiana has been impressive offensively,

978
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,199
the defensive front for South Carolina and the running threat

979
00:48:47,199 --> 00:48:50,639
between Sellers and Sanders on offense is probably gonna make

980
00:48:50,679 --> 00:48:53,199
a lot of people lean in the direction, including Vegas

981
00:48:53,639 --> 00:48:55,679
lean in the direction of the game cocks. I'm not

982
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,880
saying that because I'm a South Carolina guy. I'm just

983
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,679
using that as an example because that's the team that

984
00:49:00,679 --> 00:49:02,199
that could end up in that situation.

985
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 2: How much are we going to stick to this eye

986
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,119
test metric?

987
00:49:08,159 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 1: If Miami has been ranked so highly because of the

988
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,239
eye test, what does the eye test tell us now ward?

989
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 2: Let us know if Miami is still is every.

990
00:49:18,599 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 4: Week it's a new week, we have a new schedule,

991
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:24,119
we have new data points to look at based on

992
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,119
all of our new evidence and new data collected, the

993
00:49:27,199 --> 00:49:29,800
eye test tells us the eye test is full of crap,

994
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,159
just like Miami and Penn State.

995
00:49:32,519 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: If if every week is a new week, I don't

996
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,000
even like the idea of every week being a new week,

997
00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:37,519
to be honest with.

998
00:49:37,559 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: You, it's not because because it should be the body

999
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:41,000
of work.

1000
00:49:41,039 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: And he's going to say it's the body of work

1001
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,480
as well, but it's also every week is a new week.

1002
00:49:44,519 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 2: But it's also it's.

1003
00:49:46,159 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: Also the eye test, and it's also the numbers, which

1004
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,760
are the opposite of the eye test. So I'm really

1005
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,760
interested we that I test got brought up several times,

1006
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,800
not just on our show last week, but coming straight

1007
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,320
out of that that selection special and Tony being on

1008
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,519
the call with them, they he said it multiple times.

1009
00:50:07,079 --> 00:50:08,679
So now, if we want to look at these teams

1010
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:13,480
and we want to apply the eye test, let's apply

1011
00:50:13,519 --> 00:50:16,239
it with Indiana and some SEC teams that are borderlined.

1012
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:17,719
Let's apply it with Penn State.

1013
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 4: Yes, and Ohio State and Penna State loses, then you're

1014
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:27,320
really Then it's if you got Ohio a regular season

1015
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,519
Ohio State and Penn State loss.

1016
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,679
Speaker 2: Absolutely well. I already lost to Oregon if they if they.

1017
00:50:33,559 --> 00:50:36,559
Speaker 4: Lose, That's what I'm saying. If you get one more

1018
00:50:36,599 --> 00:50:38,840
loss for each of them, I think they can.

1019
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: Both be out. I think that I think that I

1020
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,760
think that Buckeye would get them in.

1021
00:50:44,039 --> 00:50:47,079
Speaker 1: Because we've talked about money and ratings and all those things,

1022
00:50:47,079 --> 00:50:51,719
probably why ESPN is not picking us up. But I

1023
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,360
do think it should be six two at that point.

1024
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,679
All right, it just means more, and and we're going

1025
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,440
to stand on that. It's been a great night. Whenever
